HEADQUARTERS 775TH AIRCRAFT CONTROL AND WARNING SQUADRON Cembria, California STATEMENT At 2120 hours, 2 March 1953, T/Sgt Brunges came up to the transmitter door and summoned me outside. On going out he told me to shut off the cut- side light. He then pointed out over the ocean. There was a round object which gave off a reddish erange glow. When I first saw the object, it look- ed about the size of a dime. It kept getting smaller. It was moving in a direction of NW. The distance and height was hard to judge because it was dark. Upon first observation it appeared to be a star. But to the fact it was getting smaller, it ruled the fact of being a star, almost impossible. It moved from side to side sort of a wig-way. It seemed te hogver for an instant and then diminished from view. RONALD E HAAG, AF16407489 A/2C, 775th ACEH Squadron Declassification Authority: NND 57565
