BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING One light was observed in NE, then at 0045 four more lights were seen; all 5 lights seemed to form an arc. 4 objects seen later were not as bright as the first. They appeared stationary for some period of time, they changed direction suddenly. Edges like a bright star. An unceasing whirling sound was heard the preceding and following days of the sighting. 11. COMMENTS First object in view 1 hr 10 min before others were noticed; witnesses do not say what elevation of objects was, but if they were looking over the lake they could have seen the star Capella about 15° above the NNE horizon, the direction they were looking. Constellations Taurus and Orion are beginning to rise at this time. It is possible that these stars were what was seen. 12. CONCLUSIONS ☒ Probably Astronomical Capella ATIC FORM 329 (REV 26 SEP 52)
