knowledge was a flying saucer. I was driving my car ten miles south
of Cascade, near the Missouri River, on highway 91 when T saw this
object. vhen I first saw the object I estimate that it was five
miles avay, and it came richt at me, anid when it was 100 to 200 feet
over the river and directly opposite me, it started to climb rap~
idly, staying in a horigonteal position at all times, Tt contirmmed
to climb until out of sight.
The closest the object came to me was about 100 yards away, ani
approximately 50 to 100 feet above the river, The object was silver
in color, shaped as a saucer, and had a reddish glow from the botton,
The weather conditions were clear, a bright moonlight night, with a
slight wind.
The object appeared from the south-west ani headed towards the
north-east when out of sight. I estimate that I saw the object when
it was five miles in front of me, and kept it in sight until it was
five milea away from me. I estimate that it wae in my sight for
approximately ten seconis, therefore I estimate the speed at 3600
