Both Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth were absent from Ranch when I arrived, but a note on the Yard Gate asked that I feel free to go about the ranch. I wished. They had not returned home when I left ranch at 6:00 p.m. I camped at the Fulton U.S. Forest Service Camp that is about three miles east of Glenville. Mr. Hal Seyden who lives at the Fulton Camp with his wife and children had not Condor although he had been on the watch for them. J.O. Morrow who has lived, or operated, in the Woody-Glenville area for fifty years never saw Condor in this area. See proceeding page - Mr. Morrow never saw over four condors in one bunch in the Poso Gill fields. At 5:20 p.m., while at the carcass of the dead cow that lay mile southeast of the Farnsworth home, two harsh sonic booms heard in quick succession. The Turkey buzzards gave no indication of being disturbed by these harsh explosive sounds. At 5:21 another sonic boom went the air in the same locality. Buzzard did not react to this boom. Mrs. Evelyn Farnsworth, who knows condor,
