DAMON.was returning to ADRIAN, MICHIGAN, from MANITOU BEACH along the MANITOU BEACH ROAD in his car when he observed a brilliant, white light flash past in the same direction as he was goings AIRMAN DAMON was heading east and was about one (1) mile from the junction of high- way 223 at ROME CENTER, MICHIGAN. The light or object was south of his position, | about three hundred (300) feet from the road and appeared to be approximately twenty (20) feet in diameter travelling at an altitude of twenty-five (25) to thirty (30) feet parallel to the ground. AIRMAN DAMON states that he watched the light or object for probably two (2) seconds and that in this time, it travelled about two hundred (200) feet in a horizontal course to the east and disappeared from sight. There seemed to be no trail and there was no sound. The light or object passed so rapidly that AIRMAN DAMON was unable to determine the speed or exact shape although it seemed to be circular. : 2- AIRMAN DAMON stopped his car at the approximate location that he last ob- served the light or object and investigated to see if any damage had been done to the vegetation as might be caused by heat, but there was none. 3. Approximately forty (40) seconds later, another light or object appeared about three hundred (300) or four hundred (00) feet up the road from AIRMAN DAMON'S position and travelled in the same direction. This light or object was identical to the first observed but appeared to dive to an altitude of twenty-five (25) or thirty (30) feet, travel horizontally for four hundred (l,00) to five hundred (500) feet and then disappear. This light or object was observed for about five (5) or six (6) seconds and appeared to be six hundred (600) feet south of the road. lh.
