I saw a white spot in the air. It looked like a star going out. It was about like a car or something a little bigger. It was white and bright and there was no trail nor exhaust. There was no sound. There was one object. It did not move while I was watching. When it went away it just vanished. I don't know what time it was when I saw this object. I watched it for about five minutes. I observed this object visually fran the ground. I couldn't find it with the binocularse I used. Binocular No. 7X50. This object was directly overhead at Tinker Air Force Base, I have no idea how high it was. From 1942 until the present time I have been a member of the Air Force on active duty or employed at Tinker Air Force Base. The weather was clear; I don't remember any clouds. There was Southeast winds e I have observed weather ballons, but never saw one as bright as this one WaSe No fragments or physical evidence of the object were observed. ~ Ff tte wf } Ae “Se tf HEFLEY, Eugene He Civilian Guard Tinker Air Force Base 3 July 1953 Declassification Authority: NND 57565
