Observer was mostly concerned with the accompanying ray phenomena rather than with the "saucers". themselves. Perceived what appeared to be milky white rays in the sunlight which seemed to cross and recross each other like searchlights at night. It did not appear as reflected light for the rays were not spaced and were not as close together and they "cris-crossed". However, they did seem to converge toward a center but did not meet in that center. In the vortex - a radius of about 18 inches (it seemed from where observer set) that there were spinning objects of some red substance about the color of the semi-precious report "Cornelian". These fragments were sharp and irregular and shining. They were flying as if to a magnet. This effect was momentary. Witness then looked to see if the "soucers" were still there. They were but the same illusion occurred again and observer was again conscious of the secondary phenomena. But by this time the "soucers" were out of sight. NOTE: Observer seemed to be speculating on ray warfare, but did not think that "our army would shoot deadly rays over a crowded highway"
