Joseph Ruvolo and S/Sgt. Gerald E. Nauman to the front of the B.O.C. "A" Bldg. Pointing up in a direction directly above the group he asked them to explain what they saw. Witness states that she saw 2 silver-colored disc-like objects flying toward Nojave, Calif, one directly back of the other, at a speed of about 300 to 400 MPH at an altitude of approximately 8,000 ft. She listened carefully for a few minutes but could hear no drones such as occasioned by any aircraft. Casting her eyes for a moment in another direction and then looking back to the same spot she was able to distinguish the same objects again. Assured that it was not eye-strain, she was convinced the objects were not weather balloons due to the horizontal position in which they traveled. Her could they have been birds since they reflected the sun's rays.

Some three or four minutes after the objects had nearly disappeared she saw another flying object similar to the above-mentioned objects. It was silver colored and disc-like in shape. Unlike the first two, it flew in a tight circle, neighbor losing nor gaining altitude, at approximately 8,000 ft. She thought it performed too tight a circle to have been any type aircraft with which she was familiar.
