Furthermore they could not remain at the same altitude so consistently if they were weather balloons. Witness then attempted to get personnel (medical officers) to further varify the sighting but by the time the additionel personnel had arrived at the traveling.

It was a definite trail and caused the clouds to break open trail right through the cloud,it looked to be travelling in a big circle and it left sharp edges to the clouds.The trail looked as if an object passed through similar to that of a pebble leaving a ring in the pond.There was no difference in color.It looked as if the object broke and cloud and left this opening.

When I first saw the original ten objects they were flying in a "v" formation with one object seemingly straggling in the raar of the formation.When the objects appeared the second time they were still in the "y" formation although there was only seven of the objeots at this time.I remember at this time that I told the lad,who was still working on the lam,that probably three of the objects had proceeded back to their base on a different course.I actually thought that this was the case, that the other three objects had probably gone back to their base on the other side of the mountains from Bakersfield.I am firmly.convinced that the articles I saw are actually some sort of flying

Source text · mention onlyRESTRICTED At approx 1420 7 Jan 48, Duesler accompanied by Lt Col E. G. Wood went to Godman Control Tower to observe an unidentified aerial object. Shortly after their arrival Col Hix, the Commanding Officer was summoned.At about this time Duesler first sighted a bright silver object.Then Col Hix arrived. Shortly thereafter a flight of four P-5l's flew over Godman.Leader was contacted to pursue object.He assented and three P-5l's climbed on the course, the fourth P-5l returning to base. Flight leader called to observe that "object was twelve o'clock high.Asked to describe it, he stated it is bright and climbing away from me." He stated at first that it was going about 180 MPH.Then Control Tower lost sight of the flight but could still see the object.（In connection with this, Lt Col E. Garrison Wood who witnessed the sighting stated that while it appeared about l/l0 the size of a full moon, if the thing were a great distance away, as compared to the diminishing size of the P-5l's flying toward it,it would aeem that it was at least several hundred feet in diameter.)Shortly after NG g6l, the flight leader,stated that to be the same as his or approx 36O MPH.One of his planes then asked him to level off but no reply was heard from the flight leader.That was the last message received from any member of the flight. After dark, another or the same object appeared in approx 2349 from Godman at 6 elevation.This body moved to the west (259o) and then dow. Tne shape was fluid but generally round with no tail, the color changing from white, to blue, to red to yellow and had a black spot in the center at all times. At 16o0 CST it was obscured by clouds。 NOTE: Later,an astronomer was contacted who attempted to account for this phenomena as either Venus or a comet.（7) See ALso:Report of civilians and state police and corroborated version on this incident.

He also shated that he thought the object was the Navy's new Flapjack Plane but altered his opinion since the object seemed to have no landing gears and no propellers. （The Navy ship is illustrated as having both).Rhodes managed to take one photograph of the object at its lowest point （about 2000 ft) and another as it turned out of its second spiral and started upward.

The point of disappearance seemed to be about 8o0 yards in front of Switzer. There was no possibility of being hidden once it appeared to have a very slightly curved top surface.It seemed more rocket-like than disc-like.and seemed tilted in a semi-circle. NOTE: Agent notes that the point of observation would afford a sweeping view thru loo of the canyon and the south side of Webber Creek. （Switzer was not definite as to what part of the field ofview he had seen the object and iu indidated that it could have been as far as the horizon. Any object or particles thereof would be in a six square mile area of wooded mountainous terrain full of canyons and ravines, Agent thought that witiess could have seen a conventional type aircraft which due to the distance from which it was observed presented no distinguishing features for the short period it was under observation. However, agent could not account for the smoke trail. RESTRIOTED 43
