Incident No. 176 -- 23 Sept. 1948, 1200 Hours, San Pablo, Calif.
On a dull hazy day, two men saw a large translucent object over a mile overhead. It was the size of a four-engine bomber, buff-gray in color, and appeared to be made of canvas. According to the first observer, the center portion was spherical and undulated, having appendages fore and aft, like an amoeba. The second observer said the object looked like a "vegetable crate" covered with translucent material. The investigator states one observer's description was in direct contradiction to the other. One observer was far-sighted but wore no glasses, the other was over seventy, needed glasses to read but wore none at time of sighting.
AMG Opinion: The only fact that might be accepted is that an object was seen. Two observers, side by side, could not agree on its appearance. The evidence is useless. A balloon or cluster of balloons, an aircraft, or a cloud could have been the stimulus.
