“Two housewives have become the latest in a group of local
residents to claim they have seen a flying saucer in the area.
Mrs. Sharyn Stemmel, 25, and a neighbour, Mrs. Joyce
Zettlemoyer, said they have seen the object at least five times near their
homes in Hamburg
Large numbers of persons in other areas of eastern Pennsylvania
Mrs. Stemmel described the object as having a round
front with red lights in front and red lights in back and flashing like
sequins.
The two women are not the only ones to report an
object like it. According to the head of a UFO watchers groups in Western Pennsylvania , the descriptions given by the two
women match those given by several other people.
‘There was a sighting last week by a state trooper and
at least a dozen others near Stroudsburg,’ said Stan Gordon, director of the
Westmoreland County Unidentified Flying Object.
Gordon said his group has received more than 100
reports this year, and State Police officers have confirmed they saw objects.
‘Usually, we can explain away 95 per cent of them but
we haven’t been able to explain away those. There’s definitely something out
there and it’s not from this planet,’ he added.
He described his group as an independent organization
of professionals, engineers and scientists who investigate reports across the
state.
Mrs. Stemmel said she was a bit frightened.
‘I think maybe they (the UFO) know I’m eight months
pregnant and they want to find out how all that works,’ she said.
She added most of the sightings were made about 3:30
a.m., the latest one Monday morning (19 March 1973). She said she first saw it
March 8 while driving near her home with her 3½-year-old son, who spotted it first.”
