Sir .
Saw in the portland paper a short time ago in r egar ds to
an article in regards to the so called flying disc having any basis
of tact.
I can say am a prospector and was in the t.!t Adams district
on June 24th the day Kennet Arnold or Boise Idaho claims he saw a
formation of flying disc. Andi saw the same flyinh objects at about
the same time. Having a telescope with me at the time 1 can asure you
they are real and noting like them I ever saw before they did not oaas
verry high over where I was standing at the the time, pl obl y 1000 ft .
they were Round about 30 foot in dimater tapering sharply to a point in
the head end in an oval shape. with a bright top surface.
I did not
hear any noise as you would from a plane.
ilut there was an object in
the tail end looked like a big hand of a clock shifting fro~ side to
side li~e a big magenet.
'f,iere speed as far as i know seemed to be
gr eater than onything I ever saw.
1's~ veiw I got of the objects t hey
were standing on edge Banki ng in a Cloud.
Yours Respectfully
