DIO-111D serial 38-49

23 June 1949

Subject: Unidentified Flying Objects - Report Of

observed the objects. This position could possibly be as much as five miles
300 of the position given. Source's location when objects left his visual
range was 42°41'N, 119°49'W. Sources flow in a straight line between these
coordinates.

Location of objects when first observed: 42°38'N, 119°43'W.

Location of objects when last seen: 42°28'N, 119°48'W.

The objects made a slight change of course from quartering to
paralleling source's straight line of flight.

REPORTING OFFICER'S COMMENT: It is believed that conventional aircraft, balloons, extraterrestrial phenomena, and auto-hygnosis can be eliminated as an explanation for the objects sighted by source. Since source was not flying into the sun and since he is an expert pilot-instructor, VERTIZO does not appear to be a reasonable explanation; nor do reflections on irregularities of the plexi-glass canopy through which source viewed the objects offer a reasonable explanation, because of the wide range of observation of the objects. As far as the reporting officer's comment is concerned (as well as source's own comment) the explanation of source's sighting of the strange flying objects remains a question mark.
