Begin text of report on AF Form 112—Part II.) On 6 January 1953, between the hours of 0130Z and 11302, a mysterious light ‘ was seen in the sky northeast of Dallas, Texas. In many instances reports con- flicted with each other. One report would give the heading of the object as south while another would give the heading in a different direction, The altitude of the object also varied in the many reports. Once the area became aware of something unusual in the air, r eports came & > L in more frequently. The object was first sighted at Paris, Texas, ‘and was last seén by spotters at Dallas, Texas. Whether or not there is any tangible explanation to these sightings, it t known; however it is believed that we may have identified some oh: the itings ter auliah our lecal investigation, which we hope will assist in the nt investigations being undertaken by the Air Force in solving the many "Wlying Saucer" reports.
