Information received from Captain Boyd, District Intelligence Office,
320 Old Post Office, Columbus, Ohio
Unconventional aircraft sighted by Mrs. Milds Zittok, 2579 Avalon Ave.,
Columbus at 0920 on 8 July. Weather was clear, sun shining brightly,
no clouds near the object. She first saw the object with her naked eye,
then spent two minutes looking for binoculars. Observed the object for a
about two minutes with them. There was no flying objects; both appeared
to have a blunt front and seemed to taper to a point at the rear. The
shape was very much like a cigar. The sun was shining on them and they
appeared to be silver in color. With the naked eye, they appeared to be
about the size of a airplane when writing in the sky. They were about
3 1/2" in length and 1" in diameter. In other words, they seemed to be
a little more than three times the diameter in length. Speed was not
estimated. Observed for approximately four minutes. When first seen,
they were headed northeast. Seemed to bob up and down rather than pur-
suing a set and steady course. Altitude was judged to be approximately
3000 ft. No sound audible from the object; no exhaust trail visible.
First seen in east point toward Fort Columbus, then moved generally north
there. Binoculars were 13.
***************
The following was broadcast over the radio this morning (9 Jul) but not
persons not yet interviewed: On 7 July, five members of one family saw
the object which looked like pie pans, directly over Fort Columbus.
