@ESTRICTED e STATEMENT OF MR, WM. EVANS, CORDROY{ NEWFOUNDLAND. TAKEN BY MERCEDES BURKE OF THE INTELLIGENCE OFFICE} HARMON FIELD, NEW- FPOUNDLAND. 17 July 1947. At approximately 10 e'elock in the evening of 10 July 1947, I was standing outside Mr. Leggo'’s store talking with him. We both saw this thing desh aeross the sky. I eouldn't be eceurate about the direetions. If it was a shooting ster, I'd never seen one as large before, and it was mueh brighter then anything I've ever seen in the skye It looked to be a round object, I eouldn't say it was anything else but round; it‘had a tail on it whieh showed yellowish, but not as bright as the eirele which appeered and nearest I could deseribe it would be sort of red and yellow. The streak behind, I would say, was little over a yard long; the eirele looked te be about the size of a large dinner plate. It went so fest, it was hardly in sight before it disappeared. I eould not give any idea of the height; all I ean say is it was much eloser than a shooting star. and travelling at a great speed. Whatever it was it was flying through the air, it wasn't just a streak across the sky. To me it wasn't in any way like a shooting star, and I am sure it wasn't an airoplane. If ealled it a "PLYING SAUCER” beeeause it seemed exactly like what we had been hearing so mueh about on the radio. Witness: 7 b/: % Witness: Vy a Aisa
