color ren~ere d it djJficult to perceive at a distance as it blended ~ith the
clm.u ls . .U t hough a "'i et.-li k e noise "''e.E heard prior to the object ' s e::pcc:-2nce
no sudi.b:ie sound was produced ~le it rema)ned in Yiew. The tail of the cbject
had two points on the outside area, visible as it made i t s two l eft-to-right
circles ~~hich had an approximate r adius of 1/4 to 1/2 miles. Ti-e ob~iect bad
~nat e:ppeared to be a cockpit canopy in the center 'Which extended to~d the
back and beneath the object. The "cockpit" did not protrude from the surfe.ce
but was clearly visible ~i. th the naked eye. The object did not revolve on its

thought that the 10-15 MPH ~nd vel·o ci ty which caused a rustling of tree leaves
might have made it impossible for him to hear any noise connected ~tith the object.
I He also stated t hat he thought the object was the Nevy' s new "Flapjack Plane"
but eltered his op inion since the object seemed to have no gears and no

propellers. (The Navy sh ip is illustrated as having both).
