REPORT: Unidentified Flight Contents Asserted in Greenj 27 May 1947:

On Friday, 27 May 1949, sources were flying his own SHL-type aircraft from the cliff, California to Burns, Oregon, a distance of 300 miles. He left the cliff at 10:20 P.S.T. and arrived at Burns at 14:58 P.S.T. time, 1 hour 30 minutes). Sources landed at Burns after circling the cliff, which equated about ten minutes. While on SHL's local maximum in 170 24K, source "desulfurised" his place (when he had purchased a Surrey Lightning his plane by about 100 miles) and it makes around three air spread. While on this flight he rides 212 km ground speed; and estimates he had a tail wind of 15 to 18 kph.

At 1422 Pacific Standard Time, Friday, 27 May 1949, sources of the sun reflecting on an object or objects at a considerable distance a few points to the sunboard. He continued to watch the source taking reflecting material reflecting it to materialize into conventional direct as the distance between him and the object or objects. As he reached the long bluff (shown on the Bolse (7-2) Aeronautical Chart of Mountain) which run for a number of miles along the east side of posse lakes (Swamp, Flagstaff, Cumpbell and Stone Corral Lakes) he saw that of a single object there were several, which seemed to be flying in for

At this point the objects appeared to have charged their course that they were paralleling his course (southeast to his northeast) and following the bluff's rim at about 1000 to 1500 feet below sources all at a distance which he estimates to have been $ 5^{\frac{1}{2}} $ to $ 7^{\frac{1}{2}} $ miles. Sources certain that it could not have been so far as 10 miles since the bluff less than 10 miles away and he could see the objects outlined against bluffs.

The objects that source can are described by his as follows: Size of each object. Considerably smaller than a fighter plane probably less than 20' in length. All of the separate objects appear the same in size.

there was no break in the outline. Source certain he would have recognized conventional aircraft. They had a set configuration, and no great thickness. They were elongated oval, pertrice as long as mids, and perhaps five times as long as thick. Source out he observed the objects from an angle from shore and could not estimate their thickness; they could possibly have been elongated, and consequently have been perfectly oval. The objects seemed definitely objects there was nothing at all about them.

Source of objecting Source is confident they were traveling at as fast as source's own plan (212 KPH). Source had a tail wind of 15 KPH and the objects realiature have been doing over 230 KPH air of objects were traveling south/southeast, opposite to source's course. Calculating the speed of the objects, several different ways from the hand, the speed of the objects varies between 150 to 260 KPH. Source concluded at the time of observation that he could not possibly have been and caught up with the objects. They were definitely traveling than a group of birds, and slower than jet planes. No trail of scots outcast was observed. The speed of the objects appeared to be steady. Terrain, elevations, population rate, in general Source flew at which was between 4000' and 5000' above terrain. During most of of observation, the objects were 1000' to possibly 1500' below source. Towards the end of sighting then course had begun to come from his on a level with them in altitude.
