"I know people will say I'm ; ;crazy, but I saw a quite-rounded flying object, not ; ;circular, with a red glow on one edge."

Mrs. Wagoner ; ;said the disc, about the size of a man's hat, was traveling ; ;northward and disappeared in a few seconds. ; ; ; ;A Dallas man, Tom Dean, said he and his wife and daughter ; ;saw a disc-shaped object "going like blue blazes from ; ;northeast to southwest at cloud level" Tuesday while ; ;traveling between Dallas and Fort Worth. Dean said it ; ;resembled a flattened-out balloon and was in sight for 12 ; ;or 15 seconds. ; ; ; ;A shiny disc, traveling about 150 miles per hour, was seen ; ;over El Paso, Texas, at 3:30 p.m. MST, Sunday, June 22, ; ;(NOTE: before the Kenneth Arnold sighting) by Dr. G. Oliver ; ;Dickson, an optometrist. He said it was shaped a little ; ;like a blimp, coming to a point at each end. The sun's rays; ;were not reflected on it, he added. ; ; ; ;Lt. Gov. Donald S. Whitehead of Idaho said today that he saw; ;a strange comet-like object hanging high in the western sky ; ;on June 24. That was the day Kenneth Arnold, Boise, Idaho, ; ;first reported seeing the projectiles over southeastern ; ;Washington. ; ; ; ;Their stories varied. Arnold had estimated the projectiles ; ;speed at 1,200 miles an hour. Whitehead said the objects he; ;and three other witnesses saw "didn't move, but just seemed ; ;to go below the horizon with the rotation of the earth." ; ;At Denver Henry Martin and Walter Harrod said they caught a ; ;brief glimpse of a group of "bright objects" flying at about; ;5,000 feet Thursday night. Martin said they looked like ; ;coffee can cups. They were traveling in a southwesterly ; ;direction, he said. ; ; ; ;State Highway Patrol Sgt.
