THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
source US national, 41 years old, publicity and advertising vice president of large

Us corporation: His major education was in the field of political science

(Phi Beta Kappa), and he has lectured extensively on current affairs. He has had
no technical training or experience in aviation matters. He recently visited
the USSR as a tourist at the invitation of a senior Soviet official.

1. At 1630, 4 Oct 55, I boarded a train at Baku for Tiflis in the company of
three other US nationals, one of whom shared a Wagon-Lit compartment with
me; the other two occupied the adjoining compartment. The train ran very
slowly, making every stop; I would estimate its overall speed at 20 mph.
Exactly two hours and forty minutes out of Baku, one of our group in the
compartment next door entered my compartment and said, "Did you see that
out there? I just saw a flying saucer." I and my compartment companion
were about to laugh it off when the man from next door pointed out of the
window again, and then we all saw the following sight.

2. On the lefthand side of the train, between the train and the Caspian Sea
coast, was a large air field. The evening was dark but clear. A huge
searchiivnt, on the field itself, shone on a triangular object on the
ground which 1 would say was probably not more than two miles distant
from the railroad. [Collector's comment: Source first estimated that
the air field was about five miles away but, on further reflection,
changed the distance to the object to two miles./ The size of the object
was comparable to that of a US jet fighter, with a squat shape and in the
form of an equilateral txangle. There were three lights on the object,
one on each point of the triangle, presumably two wing lights and a tail
light. As we watched, it was ejected from its launching site, making not
less than three and not more than seven fast spirals in the air, after
which it climbed extremely fast at about a 45 degree angle. We watched

1% climb and saw it reach a high altitude; the searchlizht followed
it all the way.

3. I wish to emphasize that this was no ordinary take-o…
