SAC Cornelius of Philadelphia called at 10:45 A.JI.
today and stated that yesterday evening while two offi cers of
the Philadelphia Poli ce Depar-tment were cruising in their
scout car they saw through the windshield an object descending
slowly to t he earth which appeared at first glance to be a
parachute .
When the of ficers first noticed the object, it was a
tree- top level and was described as being six feet in diameter .
It landed in a field near-by and the officers, upon examining tt,
noted that it gave out a purplish glow which was almost a mist.
The officersrummoned two other police officers. After looking
at the object for some time they attempted to pick it up .
The
object broke, leaving a slight odorless residue.
Over a period
of about 25 minutes which the officers spent watching the
it completely disintegrated. The officers further commented that
the object was so light that when it hit the field, it did not
even bend the weeds or the grass it fell on .
Jlr. Cornelius said that he has called the local
of the Air Force but the individual with whom he sp oke there said
knew nothing about them and was not aware that his office was
looking into reports of thi s type •
. Mr. Cornelius desired to know what furthe r
be taken by him.
I told Jlr. Cornelius that he was correct in referring
this matter to the local office of OSI and that he should direct
letter to the Bureau incorporating all available information
concerning the matter and that we here, upon it s receipt,
would bring it ~o the attention of OSI Headquarters .
