The whole UFO case report:
“Brad Sparks:
March 21, 1966. Hillsdale
, Michigan
10:32, 11 p.m.-4:30 a.m. 17 Hillsdale College students
including Barbara Kohn [Cole?] and Cynthia Poffenberger saw a football-shaped
object with red-green-white pulsating lights descend from the NE pass close to
their dorm then disappear to the S as if crashing to the ground, then return at
11 p.m. William Van Horn, Civil Defense Director and rated commercial pilot,
and police arrived and conducted a ground search 1/2 to 2 miles away to the E but
found nothing until Van Horn reached the college dorm where he, using
binoculars, and [87?] students saw a maneuvering lighted 20-25 ft object on or near the ground
about 1,500-1,700 ft
away to the E, with a dirty-white light on the left and dim orange on the
right, which brightened after 10 mins to white and red and began to rise at a
rate of 25-30 ft/min to a height of 100-150 ft (about 3-6 mins), stopped momentarily
then descended and repeated the motion several times. At one point on a descent
a ‘convexed’ surface (between?) the lights could be seen. Radiation was later
detected at the landing area about 330 to 600 microroentgens/hr
[milliroentgens/hr ?], roughly 10-60x background level, and possible boron
contamination. (Sparks
