IN REPLY REFER TO:

16 July 1947

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

I, Major Archie B. Browning, AC, do hereby swear, this date, that the following statements are true to the best of my knowledge:

'On 6 July 1947, while flying from Ogden, Utah, to Kansas City, Missouri, at 10000 ft in a B-25, I noticed a very bright object low and to my left, approximately 10 miles away. Time was 1:45 P.M., and position approximately 100 miles west of Kansas City. My first impression was that it was the top of a water tank. After checking my position on the map I again looked to my left (elapsed time 5 seconds). A round, disc shaped object, very bright and silvery colored, seemed to be flying one to two miles off my left wing at 11 oclock at 11000 ft. The brightness of the object which I would estimate at 30-50 ft. in diameter, was very great. It seemed to be traveling in same direction at same rate of speed (210 MPH until I started to turn into it, then it completely disappeared. Weather conditions at that time were CAVU.'
