Incident: 201A At approximately 0230Z 31 Oct 48, Staff Sgt Joseph J. Barnett pointed out an object to PFC Robert R. Anderson who described it as being round, orange in color and larger than a star. Object was moving in a northerly direction at an estimated speed of 800 MPH. Altitude was estimated as 2000-3000 feet above the clouds which were reported to be at 2500 feet. This would give an approximate altitude of from 4500 to 5500 feet. Object would swing forward and then backward but always maintained its forward velocity. Object was seen for approximately 2 minutes before it disappeared behind a cloud. No sound was heard.
