Give significance in final one-sentence paragraph. List inclosures at lower left. Begin tert of report on AF Form 118—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 objest 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 a 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 sise as ge, 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 BO 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 bn one spot, at times showing just the side View and again showing a top or bottom view, A slight whitieh 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 seened 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, APP ROV EDS Or ne CMD, CURVIN H, MILLER, JR, Captain, usar Group Intelligence Officer USAF mEms ?2/3V0F ak és 94/28 DISTRIBUTION 1 BY ORIGINATOR NOTE: THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS INFORMATION AFFECTING THE NATIONAL DEFENSE OF THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT, 50 U.

The ohject seemed to have a darker surface on the top, such as a hat with a shallow crown, It was bright as new metal and at times I noticed a vapor, mist or some such sub- etance on one side of the object. The object stayed in one spot for about an hours the last time I looked J] didn't see it, I had two pairs of binoculars with me and observed the object thru both pair, one being 10 power and the other 7 power. After looking for a while at the objec®, I went uw to another camp, about 100 yards away and showed it to a friend of mine, George Weingarten. The object seemed to be around 75,000 feet altitude, and lecated west of Deer Creek Spring.
