"I
recall looking up.. to see a strange oval shaped object
rolling end over end passing directly overhead. I recall
the object giving off different colors in a pulsing, vibratory
sort of way... I would estimate it's altitude to be less
than 300 feet off the ground... I do not recall hearing
any sound whatever from the object but my brother and
sister say it was somewhat like a humming sound."

Description & Details
"My
family of five, including myself, had just stepped outside
our home to enter our family car. I recall the aproximate
time of being just between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on
a Sunday evening. I recall this time because it was the
usual time our family left to attend Church services on
each Sunday evening. I do recall an early spring shower
had just fallen because my dad had pulled the car to the
front of our home, making it more accessible to us because
of some continuing drizzle."
"We
had all started to the car when one of us (I do not recall
which one) pointed and said, 'what in the world is that
thing?' I do recall looking up toward a North Westerly
direction to see a strange oval shaped object rolling
end over end, passing directly overhead. I recall the
object giving off different colors in a pulsing, vibratory
sort of way. I would only be guessing at this point now,
but I would estimate its altitude to be less than 300
feet off the ground. I do recall my father saying it looks
like it may land nearby."
"I
do not recall hearing any sound whatever from the object,
but my brother and sister say it was somewhat like a humming
sound that an electrical transformer on a power line would
make."
"I
do not recall any of us being frightened but more curious
and amazed would best describe our reaction. We did not
report this to anyone, but I do recall our hometown newspaper
being full of accounts of the sightings, the next day."
