Here is an excerpt from a radio interview that Carl Phillips did with Mr Wilmuth, owner of the farm where pieces of the UARS fell near Okotoks, AB Canada sometime around 12:30am Mountain Time.

------------

WILMUTH: Well, I was listenin' to the radio.

PHILLIPS: Closer and louder please.

WILMUTH: Pardon me!

PHILLIPS: Louder, please, and closer.

WILMUTH: Yes, sir -- while I was listening to the radio and kinda drowsing, that Professor fellow was talking about UARS, so I was half dozing and half . . .

PHILLIPS: Yes, yes, Mr. Wilmuth. Then what happened?

WILMUTH: As I was saying, I was listening to the radio kinda halfways ...

PHILLIPS: Yes, Mr. Wilmuth, and then you saw something?

WILMUTH: Not first off. I heard something.

PHILLIPS: And what did you hear?

WILMUTH: A hissing sound. Like this: sssssss . . . kinda like a firework.

PHILLIPS: Then what?

WILMUTH: Turned my head out the window and would have swore I was to sleep and dreaming.

PHILLIPS: Yes?

WILMUTH: I seen a kinda greenish streak and then zingo! Something smacked the ground. Almost knocked me clear out of my chair!

PHILLIPS: Well, were you frightened, Mr. Wilmuth?

WILMUTH: Well, I -- I ain't quite sure. I reckon I -- I was kinda riled.

PHILLIPS: Thank you, Mr. Wilmuth. Thank you.

WILMUTH: Want me to tell you some more?

PHILLIPS: No . . . That's quite all right, that's plenty.
