Witness saw one object which split into two separate pieces and fell into the ocean. (See Mrs Krueger's account)

Feb 19, 1948, 1225 A. M. : Witness stated that she saw saucer. Tried to take picture but says object was moving too fast.

Feb 21, 1948 (Sat Night) : Reported seeing another "saucer"

Mar 11, 1948 10:50 P. M. : See mystery light drop and fall in the water
(Thursday night)

Apr 2, 4:40 P. M. : Object resembles a small pilot-less plane - very bright metal - no motor noise and looks like the pictures of the German pilot-less planes. The center was ball shaped and very bright metal. It followed the coast line until out of sight. It came from the south and was heading north.
(same time date) Object appeared to fall in water. The metal wings were small and evidently broke as it fell since it appeared like sheets of metal dropping at the side. Witness states she saw this clearly.

Apr 2 and 3:

July 1st, 1948
"There is activity in Wildwood again - the saucers have been appearing since 1 July." Mrs. Evans inclosed picture shown in "Life" of the planet "Mars" which shows an orange-red ovular circle.

In letter to President Truman she writes: "There have been more 'flying saucers' which appear on very clear nights - when there is a moon. They appear to come from the SW and from the ocean. Over the island they appear unsteadily - like the one that broke. Then over the land they ascend quite high and move towards the NW, disappearing at not too fast a speed."

BZK: Individual appears to be "crackpot" No one (with the exception of Mrs. Krueger) appears to have seen the may sightings mentioned. This in spite of an alerted coast guard, police dept. and others.
