## STATEMENT

Was driving south on the unmarked roadway known as the Oklahoma Flats Highway, Police Department. When I saw a strange looking flash which looked to be down the west and appeared to be close to the ground. The flash lasted only a fraction of a second, and was red to orange red in color. This flash occurred approximately 1:15 a.m. on the morning of November 3, 1957.
