Times, Pennsylvania)
The UFO was sighted over North
Street, McSherrystown, Pennsylvania on 30 September 1965, at around 8:00 p.m.,
according to the article:
Quote from the article:
“The object was described as ‘looking
like a bright golden fireball’ at a distance, but as it hovered over the tree
about 50 feet
from the ground it was seen to have a ‘bright shiny silver color’ with white
light coming through its windows. It was described as being 25 to 35 feet in length and about
15 to 20 feet
wide, and had a flat bottom with a half-moon shaped body. The object also was
reported to have made a high pitched sound ‘like a spinning top.’
The girls said the object
hovered over the tree top for about 10 minutes, and for a few minutes during
this period completely shut off all its lights. After the object’s lights came
back on it shot off in a southwestern direction toward Littlestown where there
were reports it was again sighted.”
