This is not an April Fool job.

Saturday, April 1, 1950 at about 6 P.M. I was driving north on Route 47 - West of Geneva, Illinois and a little north of St. Charles, Illinois. Just ahead, through the windshield I saw a silver white object in the sky. It was traveling west at about the speed of an air plane. It was shaped like this. I was driving at 35 M.P.H. and slowed down to 20 M.P.H. to watch this object. It went behind a white cloud and I continued to watch but the object did not come out from behind the cloud as far as I could see.

Geneva is 35 miles west of Chicago, and just north of Chicago is the Glenview Airport, operated by I believe by the Navy.

The Saturday Evening Post carried an article somewhere ago about flying saucers and it said to report anything like the above to the F.B.I.
