Mr Wenyon advised that he noticed a projectile approximately 15 inches in diameter cross his course at right angles moving in a west-to-east direction and traveling at an altitude of 1,000 ft. It was traveling at a very high rate of speed - from 1,000 to 1,200 MPH. Several jets of flame were spurting from the object. Then in October of 46 he observed a similar projectile at 1,400 ft while flying over the same beach. This object was also traveling from west to east. It was Mr Wenyon's assumption that he saw some sort of rocket being tested. He associated a series of airplane crashes that had occurred around that time with the appearance of this missile and thought that the proper authorities should be notified.
