THEY\nFIRST ENCOUNTERED THE OBJECT AS A BRIGHT LIGHT OF ENORMOUS\nINTENSITY, APPROACHING THEM FROM OVER THE HORIZON TO THE EAST AT\nA GREAT RATE OF SPEED AND AT A MUCH HIGHER ALTITUDE THAN THEIR\nOWN. THEY WATCHED THE OBJECT FOR SOME FORTY MINUTES AS IT\nMANEUVERED IN CIRCLES, CORKSCREWS AND MADE 90-DEGREE TURNS AT\nRAPID RATES OF SPEED AND UNDER VERY HIGH G'S. CAPTAIN RHODES\nTOOK SEVERAL PHOTOS WITH A POCKET OLYMPUS CAMERA AND WILL SEND\nCOPIES TO THE EMBASSY AND THE TAJIKISTAN DESK (LOWRY TAYLOR) IN\nTHE DEPARTMENT, IF THEY COME OUT. AFTER SOME TIME, THE OBJECT\nADOPTED A HORIZONTAL HIGH-SPEED COURSE AND DISAPPEARED OVER THE\nHORIZON.\n2. AS IT WAS DARK WHEN THE OBJECT WAS OBSERVED, THE CREW WERE\nUNABLE TO DISCERN ITS SHAPE. THEY DESCRIBED THE LIGHT IT EMITTED\nAS HAVING A \"BOW WAVE\" AND AS RESEMBLING A HIGH-SPEED PHOTO OF A\nBULLET IN FLIGHT, IN WHICH A VERY SMALL OBJECT GIVES OFF A MUCH\nLARGER TRAILING WAVE OF HEAT/LIGHT. SOME FORTY-FIVE MINUTES\nAFTER THE INITIAL SIGHTING, AS THE SUN WAS RISING, THE AIRCRAFT\nFLEW UNDER THE CONTRAILS WHICH THE OBJECT HAD LEFT BEHIND. THE\nPLANE WAS MAKING OVER 500 KNOTS. RHODES ESTIMATED THE ALTITUDE\nOF THE CONTRAILS AT APPROXIMATELY 100,000 FEET, NOTING THAT THERE\nIS TOO LITTLE AIR/MOISTURE AT THAT EXTREME ALTITUDE TO ENABLE THE\nCREATION OF CONTRAILS BY THE PROPULSION MECHANISMS OF ORDINARY\nAIRCRAFT WHICH MIGHT BE ABLE TO REACH THAT HEIGHT. THE PATHS OF\nTHE CONTRAILS REFLECTED THE MANEUVERS OF THE OBJECT, I.E.,\nCIRCLES, CORKSCREWS, ETC.\n3. TO OUR SUGGESTION THAT THE OBJECT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A METEOR\nENTERING AND SKIPPING OFF THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE, RHODES AND HIS\nCREW WERE ADAMANT THAT THEY HAD SEEN THOUSANDS OF \"FALLING STARS\"\nUNCLASSIFIED\nUNCLASSIFIED\nPAGE 03\nDUSHAN 00259 310310Z\nAND OTHER SPACE JUNK ENTERING THE ATMOSPHERE IN THEIR YEARS OF\nFL YING PASSENGER AIRCRAFT FOR PANAM. THIS, THEY INSISTED, WAS\nNOTHING LIKE A METEOR. ON THE BASIS OF ITS SPEED AND\nMANEUVERABILITY, RHODES EXPRESSED THE OPINION, WHICH HIS CREW\nSEEMED TO SUPPORT, THAT THE OBJECT WAS EXTRATERRESTRIAL AND UNDER\nINTELLIGENT CONTROL.\n4. COMMENT: WE HAVE NO OPINION AND REPORT THE ABOVE FOR WHAT IT\nMAY BE WORTH.\nESCUDERO\nUNCLASSIFIED\nUNCLASSIFIED\nPage 2 of 3"
