William Alexander, son Bill Alexander and nephew Austin Alexander, fishing in a dory boat about 1-1/2 miles offshore south of Kippens, Newfoundland, saw a black or yellowish-brown object thought to be a submarine, the size of a dory (about 20 ft) about 1-1/2 to two miles away (to the S?), about three miles offshore about 15-20 feet above the water, the shape of a large aerial gunnery target balloon or a barrel with a pole or periscope trailing from its center line into the water, moving at 3-5 mph to the NNE (towards shore?). Object disappeared over the horizon; briefly resighted from high ground ashore sometime later (about four p.m.). Reported to the USAF at 4:10 p.m. No smoke, exhaust, noise or markings. Helicopter search at 4:20 p.m. negative. (See earlier similar sighting from Sandy Point/Indian Head.)

One yellow-blue ball was observed by three witnesses for five minutes (Kaeel; William Alexander).
