HEADQUARTERS 775TH AIRCRAFT CONTROL AND WARNING SQUADRON Cambria, California STATEMENT March 2nd at 2120 I went outside the door of the Operations building and observed a reddish orange ebject suspended in the sky. It seemed to be about on a level with where I was standing thus it might have had an altitude of approximately 199% feet. Distance is deceptive at night so it is hard to estimate how far it was away. I would judge that it was nearly out to the horizon. It had a slight sideways motion and also it seemed to hoover at a certain distance fram land over the ocean. It din-~ inished in size at approximately 2135 and disappeared in ea matter of a couple of seconds. The size when it was hogvering over the ocean seemed te be a little bit bigger than that of a 25¢ piece. yh ao A!
