dull eurfacted, light colored metal. The only ground lights of in­
tensity were a row of street lights behind me one ha!f block which leads
me t o bel.ieve the under surface of this object to be curved in shape.
"This object ,men first sighted, ,raa moving vrtry slowly in a west
or northwesterly direction. I would estimate that I had it in my range
of vision for 35 seconds, after having heard it about ten seconds before
locating it. It passed on beyond the house and maneuvered through an
arc of turn to the left of about ninety degrees. The clicking sound was
continuous throughout this turn, however, it became loudrtr as it returned
on its new heading of south or southwest. On its return t he clicking
sound became !ouder, but I was unab!e to see it at this time. The click­
ing stopped when it was at its greatest intensity and appeared to come
from a position directly over head. I was unable to see the object after
the sound stopped.
"This clicking sound, _retained t he same pitch and speed through­
out the entire course observed, but intensity varied.
There was not
whistle or roar, but only the clickir.ig noise which might be compared to
beaters of a home mixer· that were not properly meshed.
No lights or
-
flame were observed during the entire course with exception of t he
previous described reflections twice.
No exhaust trail was distinguish­
able.
11My dog was with me and directed her attention in the general
direction of this object's flight throughout its course. She had been
romping with me on coming out of the house but without spoken worli
stopped and directed her attention on to the previously described area.
The cLicking sound might not have been unusual to the dog, but there is
a possibility of sounds on wave lengths discernable only to the dog,
being emitted."
