The following information was obtained by long distance telephone from Mre Earl Le Iba, Box 131, Goodwell, Oklahoma, telephone no. 3076. Mr. Iba is temporarily residing at Cordell Hall, Oklahoma A & M Campus, Stillwater, Oklahamae le What I saw looked like two (2) search light flashes that varied back and forth, one hitting right on top of the other. They would flash back and forth and then center on onee It looked like the beam came from the ground, You could see part of the beam at times and other times it would fade completely out. It was larger than a search light beam. I saw this two (2) or three (3) different nights, I just thought it was a search light. There are no search lights in this part of the country that I kmow of; how- ever, I haven't spent much time here for the last five or six years. There was no sound. The color was the same as a search light beam. It looked like a search light beam reflecting off a cloude I couldn't tell how many objects there were. When I saw these before, they were in the same localitye They looked like a search light crossing one another then all at once they would stop one on top of the other. I couldn't see any trail or exhaust. There was no propulsion that I kmow of. They moved rapidly. They moved a lot faster than an ordinary search light beam would have moved, They would start on one side of the horizon and move to the other. They would start just like a beam would and move across the sky until they reached the same place and stop on top of one another. I didn't see them disappear, I saw this at approximately 2300 (CST) on 6 July 1953. I observed these with the naked eye. I was watching through the second (2d) story of the dormitory. There was @ screen on the window and the window was opene The object the direction of Southeast of the dormitory, almost to a right angle = ) to 90 « 5e I have lad no experience observing aircraft.
