The following observations were made in the Stettin (53?26tN/14?35fE)-
-Reiherwerder harbor area between 30 August and 2 September 1954:
30 August. At about 1700, a twin-engine low-wing monoplane with single
rudder assembly,, cabin windowsand extended landing gear was observed
flying from west to northeast at an latitude of about 500 meters. There
was a slight overcast, good visibility and wind velocity of force 5 to 6.
31 August. Twice that day, a single-engine high-wing monoplane with
fixed landing gear, and open cockpit and Polish markings was seen "lying
from southeast to northeast at an altitude of about 200 meters.
2 September. An aircraft of the type seen on 31 lugust approached from
the west and headed to the southeast at an altitude of about 200 meters.
2 September. Between 1000 and 1600, numerous vapor trails were seen in
the west at very high altitudes. The sky was cloudbess and there was wind
velocity of force 2 to 3. The vapor trails spread out into the overcast
later on. Although no aircraft were seen or heard it was believed that
there was air activity.
Comment. The aircraft observed are probably located at the Stettin-
amm airfield. This field is very probably a commercial airfield which
is also used by smaller aircraft and gliders for premilitary training
purposes.
