UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT

Hardly turned around from car when heard roar, (was not exactly a blast), very loud roar—at that close was real loud. Not like a jet—knows what jets sound like. Started low frequency quickly, then roar rose in frequency (higher tone) and in loudness—from loud to very loud. At same time as roar saw flame. Flame was under the object. Object was starting to go straight up—slowly up. Object slowly rose straight up. Flame was light blue and at bottom was sort of orange color. From this angle, saw what might be the side of object (not end, as first noted). Difficult to describe flame. Thought, from roar, it might blow up. Flame might have come from underside of object, at middle, possibly a four feet area—very rough guess. Can not describe flame further except blue and orange. No smoke, except dust in immediate area.

As soon as saw flame and heard roar, turned away, ran away from object but did turn head several times towards object. Bumped leg on car—back fender area. Car facing southwest. Glasses fell to ground, left them there. Ran to north—car between him and object.

Object was ○ in shape. It was smooth—no windows or doors. As roar started, it was still on or near ground. Noted red lettering of some type, like ⌖.
