Give significance in final one-sentence paragraph. List incloswres at lower left. Begin text of report on AF Form 112—Part IT.) On 27 July 1953, I interviewed Mr. George lL, Weingarten and Mr, Robert R, Seneker, civilians working in the Aero Maintenance Section, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, concerning an unidentified flying object, These men were together when they observed this object and their versions of the appearance of the objess are virtually the same, These men were having a picnic at Deer Creek Springs, Nevada, on Sunday, 26 July 1953, however, the two men were in differenct camps approximately 100 yards apart. Mr, Seneker was the first to observe the object and after looking at it for a few minutes, contacted Mr, Weingarten and together observed it for about an hour, Although the object could be seen with the naked eye, most of the observing was done with the aid of two pairs of binoculars, one 7 power and one 10 power, Their description of the object is substantially as follows? The object appeared to be at a tremendous height, The men estimated 70,000 feet but when questioned they could offer no reason for this estimate, They also estimated its size as huge, possibly 100 feet in diameter, but again could give no reason for their estimate, The object was to the northwest of their observation point but so high that it necessitated holding their heals back and looking almost straight up in order to observe it. They both agreed on the following points: That the object was round and flat resembling the shape of a meniscus lens, It Was bright sliver metallic in color and reflected the rays of the sun brilliantly at times, It seemed to turn on its own axis while remaining fn one spot, at times showing just the side view and again showing a top or bottom view, A slight whitish Vapor was seen at times near the object but observers could nat indicate its source, The two men finally got tired of watching the object and were relaxing for a few minutes and upon resuming their observation discovered the object had disappeared, Both men seemed to be sincere and reliable. This officer can give no logical explanation of the object since no weather balloons or aircraft from this area were airborne at that time, nr APPROVED: aah os | CURVIN 2 oUt oie.
