John Winn of the Shiloh Road, Durham, told Deputies Bertrand Boucher of Lewiston and D. Edward Soucie of Durham that he spotted the object at tree top level and that it displayed flashing blue and green lights.
The sighting was made at about 8 p.m. and Winn told
the officrs the low flying object was traveling on a southerly course.
According to Deputy Boucher, the beeping sound came
from a wooded area at the rear of Winn’s residence, but as the two deputies and
Winn approached, the sound stopped and started again, but from a different
direction.
Winn told the officers he made the sighting after
hearing the ‘beep’ while inside his house. He went out to investigate the noise
and that was when he spotted the UFO with the green and blue lights.”
