On or during November 9, 1952, at or near AUBURN, Alabama, United States, the source reports the following sequence: NO UNUSUAL OBJECT WAS OBSERVED OVER AUBURN. The first sketch on the left shows the perspective of the observer when they first saw the unidentified object in the sky. The second sketch on the right shows the perspective of the observer when they last saw the object, indicating that the object moved directly back and got smaller. Place an "A" on the curved line to show how high the object was above the horizon (skyline) when you first saw it. Place a "B" on the same curved line to show how high the object was above the horizon (skyline) when you last saw it. In the following larger sketch place an "A" at the position the object was when you first saw it, and a "B" at its position when you last saw it. OBJECT MOVED DIRECTLY BACK AND GOT SMALLER.

After watching it for about 5 minutes, it suddenly took off at a terrific speed, straight up, and disappeared in the sky. This was observed from a moving automobile, and I am quite certain that we were not hallucinating.
