Flying Saucer
Reported, But
Not Located
.Unidentified
flying objects
were
reported hovering over the
Camarillo
- Santa Rosa Valley
area
for more than an hour last
night,
the sheriff's office reported.
The
initial report came from
Mrs.
Robert Beaudoin of Santa
Rosa
Valley, who notified the
Oxnard
Air Force Base.
An Air
Force plane, seeking
another
unidentified object
which
turned out to be an airliner,
was
ordered to check the
area.
"They
couldn't see anything,"
Col.
Edwin F. Carey Jr., base
commander,
said.
There
was a report that the
Air
Force radar station at Santa
Rosa
Reports Checked
Later
the 27th Air Division
lad
reports of unidentified flying
objects
from its Ground Observer
Corps
personnel. "The
Navy
had a plane up, but they
didn't
see anything either," Col.
Carey
said.
The
27th Air Division will investigate
the
reports, Col. Carey
said.
Deputy
Richard McHenry of
the
sheriff's office said that he
sighted
an object at about 12:22
a.m.
and saw it until 1:37 a.m.
Deputy
McHenry was at the west
end
of the Air Force Base .when
he
first saw the object.
Mrs. Beaudoin said she and Ca-
rol
Lltten, 17, a neighbor saw objects
"to
the northeast," from
about
11:15 until after 1 o'clock.
"It was no optical illusion,"
Mrs.
Beaudoin said. The ob-
jects,
shaped "like .a tear drop
tipped
sideways," went up and
down,
from one side to the other
and
halted sometimes, she said.
They
were red and then bluegreen
depending
on the angle,
Mrs.
Beaudoin said. "They came
closer
and then went farther
away,"
she said.
