FROM : SA VERNON P. COYNE

SUBJECT: "FLYING DISC" REPORT

At 9:15 a.m., 10/10/59, Mrs. GOTSCHALL, residence address - 7525 - 28th S.W., Seattle, telephone - WE 7-6896, wife of an Administrator in the "Boeing Air Space" section of Boeing Airplane Company, telephonically advised that between 4 a.m. and 4:45 a.m. she observed a very bright light toward the east from her residence and this light had a tremendous brilliance, which appeared to be about the size of a dime and the light kept moving vertically in and out of sight but did not seem to move horizontally.

Mrs. GOTSCHALL said she awakened her husband and asked him to look at this strange light and her husband observed it and said it was very weird and he had no explanation as to what it might be.

Mrs. GOTSCHALL said both she and her husband are skeptics on the matter of flying saucers but both of them are now ready to "join the club." She said that she even put her coat on and went out on the patio and observed the strange light which kept disappearing and then coming back into sight and she noted when two airplanes went across the sky, this light disappeared.

It is suggested that a letter be written on this matter to OSI.
