UNIDENTIF mD FLYl?-li OBJECT
Noise was a roar, not a blast. Not like a jet.
Changed from high frequency to low frequency and then
stopped. Roar lasted possibly ten seconds--was going towards
it at that time on the rough gravel road. Saw flame about
as long as heard the sound . Flame same color as best as
recall. Sound distinctly from high to low until it disappeared .
Both car windows were down. No other spectators noted--no
traffic except the car in front--and car in front might have
heard it but possibly did not see it because car in front
was too close to hill in front, to see the flame.
After the roar and flame, did not note anything,
while going up the somewhat steep rough hill toward the
flame site . Got up about half way first time, wheels started
skidding, roar still going on, had to back down and try twice
again before made the hill. Hill about sixty feet long, fairly
s tee p and with loose gravel and rock. While beginning third
time, noise and flame not noted.
After got to top, traveled slowly on the gravel
road westwardly . Noted nothing for awhile, for possibly
ten or fifteen seconds , went slow , looking around for the
dynamite shack--did not recall exactly where the dynamite
shack was.
