G., February 5, 1953) about 2 feet long and about 12 feet across, was a light greyish color and was 1it up on the insides Two places in the front somewhat resembled cockpits and were glassed over. YI could see the light inside but could see no object in there, The back also has something resembling a cockpit with a stained glass over it, Light was coming through this section, but I gould, not see through it," Booth said. "The object was about eight or ten feet deep. The front sloped upward at the base at an angle of about 60 degrees and the back was sloped upward at an angle of hO to 50 degrees, ‘The sides came straight down from the top for maybe four or five feet and then sloped outward and joined the base at about a 5 degree angle,” Booth gaid. The object obviously was novel in construction and gave am overall, stream lined effect something like half an ege cut from end to end. “Inderneath the 'saucer' was something resembling @ built-in wheel, with half the twheel', possible three feet across, extending below the base in a crescent shape, There were no markings anywhere on it because I looked hard for some identification," Booth said. He continued, ‘There was no visible means of support for the object. It had no propeller, there were no exhaust fumes showing, no vapor trail and I could detect no vapor trail and I could detect no unusual oder. It simply sat there and drifted along as I ran around and around it getting just as good @ look as T covld, I watched it for at least 20 minutes, maybe as much as 30 mimites.® Despite Booth's yelling for some one to come and see the object, 3eticceiten ries xa SEI F.0 we DO ww 28 4% a he aroused no one and in desperation after thig ' Length of time, he fired his pistol straight up at the "saucer" at a distance of about 75 feet, "I heard the bullet hit the object.
