At around 9:04 a.m. local time, a weather observer at
Indian Springs AFB, Nevada, saw objects on a 20 power theodolite
at 133.4 degrees azimuth, 55 degrees elevation. The observer first
saw one object white or metallic in color, round in shape
and the size of the head of a pin. Four smaller objects traveling
very fast came from the first object. The 865th
AC&W Squadron, Las Vegas AFS, tracked a UFO on radar 45
miles SE of Nellis AFB. Picked up on AZ scope only. Object
