Kenneth Arnold, pilot flying his plane at approximately 9,200 feet

## Narrative Description

Pilot Kenneth Arnold was flying his plane at an altitude of approximately 9,200 feet. He was flying in the direction of Yakima when a bright-flash suddenly reflected from the plane. To the left was a DC-4 and to his rear approximately 15 miles distant there was a 14,000 ft elevation. The sky was clear as crystal. A bright-flash suddenly reflected on the plane. Upon looking to the left and to the north of Mt. Rainier he observed a chain of 9 peculiar-looking craft flying from north to south at approximately 9,500 ft elevation and going north. Thought at first they were jet aircraft but noticed that every few seconds 2 or 3 of them would dip or change their same course slightly just enough to cause the sun to strike them. Thought they were at an angle which reflected height on the plane. As they approached Mt. Rainier he could observe their outlines against the snow quite plainly, but couldn't find any tails. Clocked speed and found it to be approximately 150 MPH. Never before had he observed planes flying so close to mountain tops. They flew directly south to southeast down the hog's back of a mountain range. Pilot thought they were at approximately the same direction as he was. The chain-like line as it linked together and seemed to hold a definite direction but swayed in and out of the high mountain peaks. Distance which was almost at night appeared to be between 20 to 25 miles. Thought that they would be quite large to be observed at that distance even on a clear day. They seemed smaller than the DC-4 but he judged their span to be as wide as the furthest engines on either side of the fuselage of the DC-4 (45 to 50 ft). The chain seemed to be approximately five miles long.

## NOTE

It was the opinion of the agent interviewing Mr. Arnold that he saw the "flying discs" in this regard agent further stated that if Mr. Arnold could write a report of such a character and did not see the objects with his own eyes it would be the wrong business and should be engaged in writing Buck Rogers fiction.

The attached is what Kenneth Arnold later produced. See "Tale" magazine article by Kenneth Arnold.

## Observer Details

Witness strolling in his orchard in an easterly direction when his grandson called his attention to some flying fishes in the sky (not clear). Witness saw a new strange-looking craft flying very fast in a very straight course from West to East but slightly to the North. The sun was to observer's side and the sky and day were bright, which seemed to make the objects reflect the sun-light rather brilliantly. As a result the shape became unclear evident, but he distinctly observed that they did not have wings and they looked like a "flipped" high shape of the fuselage, but they were lying together, one object to the rear about one city block apart and to the right of the leading plane. They did not dip nor veer from a straight right in any manner. Seemed very high but observer could not judge this except that they were at least a mile high and possibly 5 miles high. There was no noise nor power coming out the back. The trail or exhaust was very unusual and seemed like a slight trace of steam either above or lane which disappeared immediately. It did not persist in the air like vapor trails of ordinary airplanes and jet aircraft. Witness familiar with aircraft since they fly over his property. He was positive that they were not meteors, birds nor ordinary aircraft.

## NOTE

Subsequent investigation by this Case indicates that Mr. Britten's testimony should be considered reliable. The objects seen are not of yet identification.

## Narrative Description

On Saturday, June 21st, shortly before noon, I was in our yard at home when I happened to glance up at a passing plane. I would say this was a two motored one from one of the army bases, flying south at about 10,000 or 12,000 feet. On the pure plane, on the plane a bright shiny flash attracted my attention, coming from approximately two or three thousand feet lower than the plane, but slightly ahead of my line of vision of the plane. My first thought was that the plane had thrown out hand bills, but this could not be as they (the flashes or discs) were ahead of the plane. One thing different to me, it seems to me they were not traveling as fast as the plane. We realize to now, that whatever they were, they must have been quite large, being as plain as the nearest one was, yet so high. And again, they were traveling south against prevailing winds. At least some of the smaller flashes, if not all flashes, at not all were as high or higher than the plane, but the nearest one seemed lower, both when it flashed and otherwise, as it did intermittently.

## Narrative

An object was seen in this locality on 30 June 1947. The hour was approximately 5:45 PM and we (my wife and I) were traveling west to the Plantation Golf Course, which is approximately 5 miles from Boise. On the way, I happened to spot something in the sky which seemed to be clinging to a huge cloud. It was half circled in shape and just as bright and silvery looking as a mirror caught in the rays of the sun. After a few minutes of traveling and looking the object disappeared. I would say it was about 10 miles distant, and from our location, approximately 3,000 feet in the air.

## Assessment Note

Witness states he has had "Aircraft Recognition" in the RAF which lends credibility and asserts that the object sighted was not an airplane.

## Quote from Observer (Mrs. Erickson)

"On the evening of June 12 about 6:15, a neighbor and I returning home from another neighbors glance into the sky toward the west, and saw what we thought was smoke from an airplane. She mentioned that the had never seen that before, so we stopped to look and listen, thinking we would see the plane. But there was no sound, so we kept looking until we saw a tiny object from which the vapor was getting. It was so far away we could not determine the size, even the shape. Its only identity was a glisten in the sun. We had watched the with from the general direction of the sun, another object shot into the sky. It followed in general direction of the first, shooting up and down before setting to a south-easterly course across the sky. The more we followed them until they were only a glisten and the vapor could no longer be seen. After the object more gone, we continued to look back and to watch the vapor that had been left which now looked like clouds but kept a shape, and this shape glowed to glow across the sky to the East where there was a black streak leading to the horizon. The vapor stayed in the sky for over an hour."

## Quote from Observer (Miss Marion Marshall)

"I wish to report having seen a 'flying saucer' on July 4, 1947, traveling east over West Trenton at 11:45 p.m. It was flying high and fast, was distinctionous with no tail or halo. The moonlight was bright at the time and I was standing on the southbound platform of the West Trenton station of the Reading railroad."

## Narrative Account

"Mr. Woodruff saw the object or flying disc first and said he saw the thing traveling through the sky. We did not believe him at first but when he was so concerned about it we stopped the car and got out. I had my camera to take a picture of it. There was a bluish streak left in the sky which could not have been a cloud formation. It was a definite trail and caused the clouds to break open as it went through. It cut a clear path through the cloud and you could see the trail right through the cloud, it looked to be traveling in a big circle and it left sharp edges to the clouds. The trail looked as if an object passed through similar to that of a pebble laying a ring in the pond. There was no difference in color. It looked as if the object broke and cloud and left this opening."

## Narrative Account

"At approximately 1200 noon on the 14 of June I was lying in the front yard of my house. There was a lad mowing the lawn at the time. I looked into the sky and saw ten articles flying from the South to the North at what I would judge to be 3500 ft. The objects were flying at approximately 350 miles per hour. I said that at the time I saw the articles I mentioned it to the lad who was mowing the lawn at the time. I told the lad that the objects were in all probability some sort of Army or Navy test planes or something near the test center on the desert of Southern California. The objects resembled the pictures that I have seen of the XF5U-1, the so called 'Flying Flapjack' that the Navy is testing. At approximately 1145 I went back into the yard to sit and lie in the shade. At this time the objects reappeared going from North to South, although this time there were only seven of the articles. When I first saw the original ten objects they were flying in a formation with one object seemingly straggling in the rear of the formation. When the objects appeared the second time they were still in the 'V' formation although there was only seven of the objects at this time. I remember at this time that I told the lad, who was still working on the lawn, that probably three of the objects had proceeded back to their base on a different course. I actually thought that this was the case, that the other three objects had probably gone back to their base on the other side of the mountains from Bakersfield. I am firmly convinced that the articles I saw are some sort of flying machines although I cannot say from where they came or to where they were going."

# Incident #30 Continuation - Lockbourne Air Base Narrative

## Narrative Account

"Very bright white light southwest of the field. The light did not cast a beam and seemed the size of a flood light. From the ground the light appeared to move westward. It was further west and lower than I saw it in the air. The light was similar to that of a lantern light in it that it was glimmering. The light varied yellowish to orange and appeared to be descending and burning out. The latter observation may be that in its westward movement it appeared to be fading out and descending however the light was not merely as bright on the second observation. At first it was very white and did not appear to be moving though when it flashed on and off it appeared as in a z fast descent. With the naked eye I could at no time make out any shape other than the light below and above as though looking at a large spot light. It was not a heavenly body of any type that the sky was solid overcast in the Lockbourne area and the object t moved around such a sight. I passed no noise in connection with the object. I estimated at the first observation that it was 1-5 miles southwest of the base. At the second appearance it was 6-7 miles West and moved Westerly in a hovering manner but moving away."

Two flying discs trailing jet-like streams of fire sighted from bridge of tanker. Second Officer Glande Lee Williamson radio-telephoned United Press. Discs moved at tremendous speed out of north horizon and curved in westerly direction. In a low arc though they were moving 700 to 900 MPH. Didn't think they were meters because they generally do not travel in pairs and usually fall to horizon. Thought they were "flying discs".

Also observed by Ordinary Seaman James S. Lynde who claimed he also saw "discs".

According to a WHIO News Broadcast at 2300-2315, 9 Jan 48, relayed from Danville, Kentucky:

Mr. & Mrs. Markham were driving in their car in or about Danville, Kentucky, when they saw a pencil-like object flying very high which left a long trail of smoke or exhaust. The trail shortly afterwards turned into a beautiful fireworks display of sparks, etc. The object appeared to be traveling a straight course.

**Timeline of Related Events**

Feb 19, 1948, 1225 A.M.: Witness stated that she saw saucer. Tried to take picture but says object was moving too fast.

Feb 21, 1948 (Sat Night): Reported seeing another "saucer"

Mar 11, 1948, 10:50 P.M. (Thursday night): Saw mystery light drop and fall in the water

Apr 2, 4:40 P.M.: Object resembles a small pilot-less plane - very bright metal - no motor noise and looks like the pictures of the German pilot-less plane. The center was ball shaped and very bright metal. It followed the coast line until out of sight. It came from the south and was heading north.

Apr 2d; 5:10 P.M. (same time date): Object appeared to fall in water. The metal wings were small and evidently broke as it fell since it appeared like sheets of metal dropping at the side. Witness states she saw this clearly.

Apr 2 and 3: "new guided missile of bright metal seen since 2 Apr."

July 1st, 1948: "There is activity in Wildwood again - the saucers have been appearing since 1 July." Mrs. Evans included picture shown in "Life" of the planet "Mare" which shows an orange-red ovular circle.

Objects were brought to Mrs. Krueger's attention by Mrs. Evans. Mrs Krueger saw a most unusual thing drop out of the sky. I think it was a flying saucer as it have never seen anything equal to it before. She then states that she saw what appeared to be 2 round orange colored discs or balls, the one being smaller, and that these objects appeared to descend vertically toward the depth in a slow steady manner until disappearing from their sight. Mrs. Evans said that Mrs Krueger observed two objects (apparently related) but that they were originally one object which separated at about the time Mrs Krueger sighted it.

All witnesses (Mrs. Evans, her son and Mrs Krueger) agree on the following:

**Narrative Description**

Capt Ryerd saw two unidentified aerial objects at approximately 2,000 to 10,000 ft traveling above a P-80. He thought they were approximately 15 to 25 feet in diameter. In shape they were circular like a ball on the bottom but completely round. First flew straight and level but the second flying close behind the first at the same altitude seemed to be going from left to right and right to left - more like a guard in an aircraft formation. Due to the noise of the P-80, no sound could be heard from them. They did not leave any vapor smoke or visible trail. The weather was clear and Captain Ryher and Lt Ward Stewart watched them until they disappeared in flight presumably over Oakland headed toward the ocean.

**Narrative Description**

Stewart's attention called to unidentified flying object by Capt Ryherd. Stewart estimates the P-80 at 250 miles on preliminary approach for landing at Hamilton Fld. The object was estimated to be following at 750 MPH at three or four times its speed. A moment later another object appeared and flew a course described as something similar to a fighter's maneuvers when accompanying a heavier ship, on a left to right movement, over the object first sighted. The object continued this maneuvering until out of sight.

Size could not be estimated but not believed to be above 6,000 ft altitude. Described as milky-white in color, and unlike any conventional aircraft seen.

On 28 June 47 XXXXXXXXXXXXX in a P-51 bound for Portland, Oregon, by way of Medford, Oregon, at approx 1515 CST (course of 300°) and ground speed of 250 MPH, altitude 10,000 ft, approximately 30 miles of Lake Meade, Nevada. Lt Armstrong sighted 5 or 6 white, circular objects at 14:00, maximum altitude approximately 6,000 ft, on a course of 120° and flying at an estimated speed of 285 MPH. The objects were flying very smoothly and in a close formation. The estimated size of the white objects was approximately 36" in diameter. It Armstrong was sure the white objects were not birds since the rate of closure was very fast. He was certain too that the white objects were not jets or conventional aircraft since he has flown both.

**Investigator Assessment**

AGENT'S NOTES:

Lt Armstrong was very sincere in the explanation and was not the exaggerating type. He merely stated what he saw and drew no conclusions.

## Incident #55 (Continued)

**Narrative Description**

Witnesses were walking when they observed a peculiar reddish light. They thought at first that the light was a shooting star but it left no streak. It appeared again and they thought it was a plane flying at very high high altitude. Then a number of intermittent flashes were observed for three minutes. After observing the abrupt darts of light and hearing no hum of motors they concluded that it was definitely not a plane, as the maneuvers appeared too abrupt.

At sunset on 4 August, Peck and co-pilot Daly sighted and followed flying saucer northwest of Bethel, Alaska. Object appeared as large or larger in mass than C-54, black in color, silhouetted against brilliant evening sky. To avoid possible collision, pulled up to about 1200 ft to avoid collision. Object crossed path at right angles. Saw no movement during entire flight. Moving very fast from underneath them, swung behind it at air speed of 170 MPH but object was out of sight in four minutes. Object was smooth-surfaced and resembled fuselage of C-54 without motors or wings or any visible means of propulsion. Wind was negligible and object on NW course.

## Observations (Narrative)

Plane just passed Necker Island at 0555 GOT. At 0558 GOT intense white light observed 60° off starboard bow of plane. Appeared similar to light of approaching plane except extremely intense. Color was that of incandescent light without appreciable blue and no reddish tinge. Appeared on course about 350° true some 5 miles away. Flight grew in intensity (blue without change in color) to point estimated to be one mile off starboard bow. When FAA plane switched over to manual control, object suddenly veered to approximate course of 109° and then light appeared to split into two reddish lights arranged in a reddish formation. Did not have intensity of white light and appeared about wing-length apart. As it changed course, extraordinary speed was noted. Far outaced the FAA American plane and twin reddish lights appeared to burn out 30 miles ahead. Entire phenomenon observed for some 6 seconds. Object estimated traveling 1,000 knots per hour.

## Assessments

Both observers questioned as to possibility of optical illusion and probability that object dropped at oblique angle but both firmly declared object apparently changed course and it appeared to hold altitude throughout entire time observed.

FAA plane was eastbound from Midway on magnetic course 98, approximately 110° true, and flying at 9,000 feet altitude at about 205 knots. It was flying on automatic pilot with Griffin in right-hand seat in control cabin and Polhemus in left-hand seat. It was dark and there were cumulus clouds of about .4 density. Sun had set 45 minutes previously.

Witness stated that if object were shooting star it was larger than any he had ever seen and much brighter than anything he had observed in sky. It appeared round with yellowish tail which was not as bright as circle. Circle itself appeared sort of red and yellow and about size of large dinner plate. It went so fast it was not in sight long before it disappeared. It was traveling much closer than shooting star. Witness sure it did not in any way resemble shooting star nor a plane.

Albert Semms, twelve-year-old boy, alone when he saw object. Thought it was flying at height of plane at high altitude but it looked strange for airplane as it was lit up so brightly. It was carrying lights ("plane do have a light on it but it was carrying lights"). It was of bright reddish yellow color. Witness saw it only momentarily because of tremendous speed ("I saw it only for a minute because it was traveling at a terrific speed").

## Assessments

His mother, Mrs. Semms, is Post Mistress of town. After hearing son's description felt that it answered description of flying disc. She added that Albert didn't believe thing was plane since "it wouldn't shoot down like that did" and "besides it was too 'lit up'".
