CG 10th Air Div (Def) APO 942 10AD~2-53 3 7 PAGE OF PAGES STATEMENT — _— I, Victor Mahler, Aircraft Communicator residing at King Salmon, Alasak make the following statement, On 7 February 1953 at approx 08002 I received a call from the control tower operator at King Salmon CAA control tower. I was in the CAA communications at the time I received the call from James Burrus to come to the tower and take a look at a strange light in the sky. I observed the light for about six minutes. The shape of the light was as I have sketched below and changed from an orange color to white several times. There was no definite movement to indicate it was traveling in one set direction although it made slight movements in the horgontol plane but always returned to its stationary position. The direction from the tower was west and the distance was very hard to judge and at the first I estimated it to be about thirty miles,. after observing it for a few minutes relized it could be any distance. The Size was approx ten to twelve inches. The oval shape changed from time to time as though someone were rotating a cylinder. The light disappeared just as though a candle were put out, The above is a voluntary statement and is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. /s/ Victor Mahler /t/ Vietor Mahler King Salmon, Alaska MIG Pact, Hy Pcs 1 Was HECLASSIFIED Doar gees MSM 2/3//7 POND cme EE | : ete, Poa RE, NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS INFORMATION AFFECTING THE NATIONAL DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT, 50 U.
