On or during October 8, 1960, at or near Arkansas Area, the source reports the following sequence: BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING: A balloon to 37,000 ft. reported by pilots of a United States Air Force flight. Identified and object as it rose vertically because of sun. COMMENTS: Balloon was illuminated by pilots and was also reported by another flight for the same balloon. Balloon was also reported for the same time period. MILLS Dayton, Ohio, has reported that I read I you these clippings concerning sighting he most interested in since the Ridge City, Nebraska area. The article states that several people who were on the watch for the U.F.O. sightings had reported seeing the bright light. The text in the document reads: Unidentified Object Sighted Over Miles City This Morning By GEORGE LARSON This morning, at approximately 5:00 a.m., Mrs. She called her husband, who also observed the object. The Homans said the object appeared to be gliding rather than flying, and they could see no exhaust or propulsion system. They watched the object for about two minutes until it disappeared from view. Patrolman Dave Kiley responded to the call and also observed the object briefly before it disappeared. Several other residents of Miles City also reported seeing the unidentified object this morning, though none were able to observe it for as long as the Homans.
