Mar 11, 1948 10:50 P.M.: Saw mystery light drop and fall in the water. Apr 2, 4:40 P.M. (Thursday night): Object resembles a small pilot-less plane - no motor noise and looks like the pictures of the German pilot-less planes. The center was ball shaped and very bright metal. It followed the coast line until out of sight. It came from the south and was heading north. Witness states she saw this clearly. Apr 2d, 5:10 P.M.: (same date) Object appeared to fall in water. The metal wings were small and evidently broke as it fell since it appeared like sheets of metal falling at the side. Witness states she saw guided missile of bright metal seen since Apr 2. Apr 2 and 3: 'There is activity in Wildwood again - the saucers have been appearing since 1 July.' Mrs. Evans enclosed picture shown in 'Life' of the planet 'Mars' which shows an orange-red circle. July 1st, 1948: In letter to President Truman she writes: 'There have been more flying saucers which appear on very clear nights - when there is a moon. Over the island they appear to come from the SE and from the ocean. Over the land they appear... they - like the one that broke. Then over the land they appear over towards the NY, disappearing at not too fast a speed.' NOTE: Individual appears to be a 'crank' (with the exception of Mrs. Krueger) No one appears to have seen the many sightings mentioned. This in spite of an alerted coast guard, police dept. and others.

Objects were brought to Mrs. Krueger's attention by Mrs. Evans. Mrs Krueger saw 'a most unusual thing drop out of the sky. I think it was a flying saucer as I have never seen anything equal to it before' She then states that she saw what appeared to be 2 round orange colored discs or balls, the one being smaller, and that these objects appeared to descend vertically toward the earth in a slow and steady manner until disappearing from their sight. Mrs. Evans said that Mrs Krueger observed two objects (apparently related) but that they were originally one object which separated at about the time Mrs. Krueger sighted it. All witnesses (Mrs. Evans, her son and Mrs Krueger) agree on the following: Color and size - that of an old-fashioned gas light which had a yellow, red or amber shade. Outline was distinct and did not appear aflame or irregular. No noise or sound of kind. No smoke or exhaust trails seen. Shape oval to round. All stated that it was not to their knowledge a balloon, dirigible, flare, parachute or any other known object and all seemed to have a pretty good knowledge as to the appearance of the foregoing. NOTE: Witness appeared calm and normally sensible in her responses to various questions.
