The whole UFO case report:
“Brad Sparks:
Jan. 23, 1965; Lightfoot, N of Williamsburg , Virginia
8:40 a.m. Cars stalled near intersection of US Hwy 60
and State Route 614, witness T. F. Mains saw light-bulb or mushroom-shaped
object 75-80 ft
tall, 10-25 ft
wide, metallic gray, red-orange and blue glows, hovering over nearby field
about 4 ft
off the ground, making a vacuum cleaner-type noise, suddenly accelerate
horizontally to the W against the wind and disappear. (25-seconds, 2
witnesses). (UFOE II, Section VIII; Berliner; cf. Hynek UFO Rpt pp. 177-8;
Vallée Magonia 633)
Fran Ridge:
Interesting that this incident was listed in the Blue
Book files as Unidentified. Investigation shows duration of 25 seconds with two
witnesses in separate cars, both stalled. (See BB docs below). The latest
update is from Mike Swords and a letter to Richard Hall from a witness.
Martin Shough:
This is an extremely interesting case and, as far as
one can tell from the file, it feels pretty solid. Ignoring the car stallings
(which is not so easily done, given two vehicles) about the only thing that
seems half-way plausible is a hot-air balloon (shape, lift-off, near horizontal
motion, colour, light, noise like a vaccuum cleaner). But the departure
direction is west, which would be into the wind (about WSW according to the
file). Very curious! What a shame we don’t have the police report from the
second witness.”
