[REDACTED], Washington, furnished the following information:

[REDACTED] was home during the evening of November 24, 1971 and heard a jet plane going over his house sometime during the evening at approximately 9:00 p.m., although the exact time was not known. This aircraft was extremely loud and sounded as if it were flying very low. [REDACTED] did not bother to get up and make an attempt to see the aircraft as he felt he would not be able to see any- thing due to the darkness.

[REDACTED] thought that this was someone flying in to land at Portland. Aircraft landing at Portland frequently are placed in a holding pattern in this neighborhood. [REDACTED] stated that [REDACTED] This jet was headed south and slightly east at an altitude that was unknown although it was low enough and loud enough to shake the house.
