DATE: April 17, 1958
FROM : SA ROBERT ROSS REYNOLDS
SUBJECT: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS
DAVID WEAVER, 15801 Decosta, Detroit, Michigan, Telephone No. Kenwood 5-7546, telephonically advised this office at 4:08 A.M., today, that he had just seen an object in the sky described as a circular object with a crystal-type dome that reflected lights. He said this object was passing in a northern direction from southwest and crossed the City three blocks south of Six Mile at Lamphere Street.
WEAVER advised that he attempted to call Selfridge Field to get in touch with the Air Force but his attempts were unproductive. He then called the office to furnish the above information.
WEAVER said he was 23 years of age, was the son of a Detroit policeman, and that he had previous experience with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP); however, he was not too familiar with the identification of aircraft. WEAVER stated he was on his way home from his employment in Detroit when he observed instant object.
