Interrogation | MCIAXO-3 | MCIAXO-4 | 19 July 48 | 1 | 1. Proceeded to the home of Mr. Howard Enslow in Gahanna, Ohio, with an Agent of the 109th CIC Detachment at 1000, 10 July 1948. 2. Interviewed Mrs. Howard Enslow who stated that on the night of 1 July 1948 between 2100 and 2200 hours, she, Mr. Enslow, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Taylor and their Sons, [name omitted] and Jack, of [address omitted], Columbus, Ohio, sighted an unidentified object flying through the air. Mrs. Enslow described it as a "Beautiful golden saucer glowing like a halo with a silver rim around it." Direction of flight was from Northeast to Southwest and the object was visible for approximately three seconds. Subject was very vague and appeared to attribute the phenomena to holy visitations. Was unable to contact Mr. Enslow. 3. Proceeded to the home of Mr. Chester Taylor and interviewed his son Jack, age 23, who had three years service and is now active in the National Guard. He stated that the object was a bright yellow-white light that moved through the sky at a terrific rate of speed. It was a glow and not a directed light and was about two seconds in duration. It didn't fade out but ceased abruptly. The line of flight appeared to be flat and the object appeared from the Northeast going Southwest, at an altitude of about three or four thousand feet. There was no audible noise although it was a quiet night and the object appeared close in at an angle to the horizon of about forty-five degrees. Although the sky was clear and the moon was bright nothing but the light was seen. 4. Mr. Taylor's story was the same as that of his son's. Mrs. Taylor was in the car and did not observe the phenomena. The other witness was not readily available. 5. Proceeded to the sight of the observation and determined that, under the conditions of course and altitude as estimated by the subject, it was possible that their line of vision was restricted by a grove of trees thus limiting the observed line of flight to the two three-second periods reported. | CLARENCE GLASEBROOK, 1st Lt, USAF | CWG/aw, Ext 65310, Bldg 288, Post 201F
