Ok, I did a little. This is from the first document posted. The first set of text is identical and taken from the newspaper article rense duplicates

From that point, this is what I have. Proper nouns like placenames and people's names are the hardest to decipher, anyone who can fix them let me
know..
If anyone can find matches anywhere for this online, let me know, too, and I'll stop, otherwise I'll continue decoding.. The rows of XXXXX are
places where a word/name has been blacked out.
TWO DESCRIPTIONS CHECK.
Rankin's description of the mysterious aerial objects agrees with that of Kenneth Arnold, Boise, Idaho, business man, who first reported them over
the State of Washington, except that Arnold clocked them at an estimated 1200 miles an hour.
Other reports came Wednesday from Astoria, Jack, Hayes, patient in St. Mary's hospital there, said he saw two of the discs Monday flying north-west
at a rapid speed and that they vanished behind the hills.
Mrs. Earl Roade, Fort Stevens, said she saw a disc traveling north over Forst Stevens Tuesday noon, and that other observers saw the same object.
The army at Fort Stevens and the coast guard at nearby Point Adams did not see the discs.
The report of a Contralia?, Wash. man Wednesday coincided in matter? time with the original report made by Arnold. Sidney B Gallagher of Comralia?
said he saw nine aluminium-hued objects flying north at 3.p.m June 14? He was working 11 miles southwest of Kineral?, Wash, at the time.
Washington I realized that the articles that I saw were probably the same thing. I was still reluctant to mention this to anyone thinking that they
would probably say that I was crazy. After some time I mentioned the incident to the XXXXXXX the "Oregordian", a Portland, Oregon newspaper. At this
time I was in Portland for the remainder of the summer. The results of the conversation with the XXXXXX of the paper is put forth in the accompanying
newspaper article.
I fully realize that this is a broad statement in view of the fact that there has been so much publicity (word crossed out by typewriter xes) put
forth in various newspapers of the country. I am of sound mind in every respect and I am firmly convinced that the articles a saw are actually some
sort of flying machines although I cannot say from where they came or to where they were going. I say what I have said with no idea of publicity or
personal gain.
