My bed room is located on the. first floor in the northwest corner of my home. The light was first observed as I was about to close the venetian blind in the window and it Sppeared above the crest of the hill west of my home, There are two (2) houses located on the crest of the hill, both two (2) story, and the light was between these houses about mid-way from the ground to the roof of the houses, The direction at this point would be slightly Northwest from my home, When I first observed this light, it appesred to be circular in shape, four (4) or five (5) times larger than any star visible at that time. The light was dark red in color and it seemed to lose some of its intensity in brightness befor it disappeared below the crest of the hill, It was not pos-~ sible for me to determine whether the light was traveling West and therefore disappeared below the crest of the hill, or if it were losing altitude and disappeared behind the crest of the hill. I had the distinct impression that the light veered slightly toward the South before it disappeared, I judge the total time I watched this light to be three (3) to four (4) minutes, ‘The sky eat this time was very clear, the stars were out and the wind was slight. I would definitely say that this light was not a star, I would like to state that I have lived in this same home for twenty (20) years and at no time is it possible to observe the situation lights on "Quagey Joe", ( a nearby mountain) or any of the other lights at Presque Isle Air Force Base, from this particular point. I dismissed the importance of this light from my mind until my daughter returned home from the city of Presque Isle the following week-end and told me about a certain Mrs. Cambridge, who works in the s@me office with my dau- ghter, who reported the @ppe@rance of a@ strange light in the sky on the night of 2% February 1953. I immediately assumed it must have been the very same light which I had observed, but, at no time have I discussed the subject with Mrs. Cambridge.

Between 2030 hours and 2130 hours, either 23 February 1953, or oy February 1953, as I was @bout to retire for the evening, ( I do mot remember the exact te) I observed an unusuel light from the west window of my bedroom. My bed= room is located on the first floor in the northwest corner of my home. ‘The licht was first observed 2s I was about to close the venetian blind in the window and it appeared above the crest of the hill west of my home, There are two (2) houses located on the crest of the hill, both two (2) story, end the liznt was between these houses about mid-way from the ground to the roof of the houses, Thea direction at this voint would be slightly Northwest from ny home, When I first observed this light, it appeared to be circular in shape, four (4) or five (5) times lerger than any star visible at that time. The light was dark red in color and it seemed to lose some of its intensity in brightness befor it disappeared below the crest of the hill, It was not pos- sible for me to determine whether the light was traveling West and therefore disarpearad below the crest of the hill, or if it were losing altitude and disappeared bshind the crest of the hill. I had the distinct impression that the light veered slightly toward the South before 1% disappeared, I judge the total time I watched this light to be three (3) to four (4) minutes. ‘The sky at this time was very clear, the stars were out and the wind was slight. I would definitely say that this light was not 2 ster, I would like to state that I have lived in this same home for twenty (20) years and at no time is it possible to observe the situation lights on "Quaggsy Joe", ( @ nearby mountain) or any of the other lights at Presque Isle Air Force Base, from this Ariacgatnra 5 point. i dientesed $s importance of this light from my mind until my daughter returned home from the city of Presque Isle the following week-end and told me ebdout a certain AMR who works in the same office with my dau- shter, who reported the eppe@rance of a strange light in the sky on the night of 23 February 1953.
