some type of airplane, even though they didn't conform with the many aspects of the conventional type of planes that I know.
Although these objects have been reported by many other observers throughout the United States there have been six or seven other accounts written by some of these observations that I can truthfully say must have observed the same thing that I did; particularly, the descriptions of the three Western/Cedar City Air Lines/,Utah employees, the pilot) gentleman from Oklahoma City and the locomotive engineer in Illinois, plus xxxxxxxxxxxx and Co-Pilot xxxxxxxxxxxx of United Air Line....
Some descriptions could not be very accurate taken from the ground unless these saucer-like disks were at quite a great height and there is a possibility that all of the people who observed peculiar objects could have seen the same thing I did; but, it would have been very difficult from the ground to observe these for more than four or five seconds, and there is always the possibility of atmospheric moisture and dust near the ground which could distort one's vision.
I have in my possession letters from all over the United States and people who profess that these objects have been observed over other portions of the world, principally Sweden, Bermuda, and California, I would have given almost anything that day to have had a movie camera with a telephoto lens and from now on I will never be without one - but, to continue further with my story. When I landed at Yakima, Wash., airport I described what I had seen to my very good friend, Al Baxter, who listened patiently and was very courteous but in a joking way didn't believe me.
I did not accurately measure the distance between these two mountains until I landed at Pendleton, Oregon, that same day where I told a number of pilot friends of mine what I had observed and they did not scoff or laugh but suggested they might be guided missiles or something new. In fact several former Army pilots informed me that they had been briefed before going into combat overseas that they might see objects of similar shape and design as I described and assured me that I wasn't dreaming or going crazy.
I quote xxxxxxxxxxxx a former Army Air Force pilot who is now xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx, ''What you observed, I am convinced, is some type of jet or rocket propelled ship that is in the process of being tested by our government or even it could possibly be by some foreign government".
Anyhow, the news that I had observed these spread very rapidly and before night was over I was receiving telephone calls from all parts of the world; and, to date I have not received one telephone call or one letter of scoffing or disbelief. The only disbelief that l know of was what was printed in the paper...
I look at this whole ordeal as not something funny as some people have made it out to be. To me it is mighty serious and since I evidently did something that at least Mr. John Doe on the street corner or Pete ...ews on the ranch has· never heard about, i no reason that it does not exist; Even though I openly invited an investigation by the Army and the FBI to the authenticity of my story or a mental or a physical examination as to my capabilities, I have received no interest from those two important protective fore of our country; I will go so far as to assume that a report I gave to the United and Associated Press and over the radio on two different occasions which apparently set the nation buzzing, if our Military Intelligence was not aware of what I observed, they would be the very first people that I could expect as visitors.
I have received lots of requests from people who told me to make a lot of wild guesses. I have based what I have written here in this article on positive facts and as far as guessing what it was I observed, it - just as much a mystery to me as it is to the rest of the world.
My pilot's license is xxxxxxxxxxxx I fly a xxxxxxxxxxxx it is a three-place single engine land ship that is designed and manufactured at Afton, Wyoming a an extremely high performance, high altitude airplane that was made for mountain work. The national certificate of my plane is xxxxxxxxxxxx
