The whole article (Page 1):
“Three Somers Point students can tell you what a UFO
looks like.
The
children, in fact, have become something of an authority on such phenomena – because
they saw one.
The three were privileged to observe – at close range
– what can be described as a strange airborne object.
It did indeed hover for a while over the car in which
they were riding.
And since all three agree to the letter on its dimensions
and appearance – ergo, there really are such things, right here in Somers
Point.

The sixth-graders who saw the object were: Jennifer
Montgomery, Michele Frisko and Patti Meyers.
A credible witness confirms the children’s stories.
Sixth grade teacher Lillian Frisko was the driver of the car which attracted
the brightly lit UFO. She was taking the girls to a gymnastics event, and
earthly traffic can be difficult enough without being distracted by an
unidentified flying object. Hawthorne
Summing up, the Somers Point UFO was disc-shaped in
appearance, and colored orange. The four agreed there was a row of lights
across the bottom – and it paused and moved at the same pace and in the same
direction as the car.
‘We checked around and there seems to be no scientific
explanation,’ said Hawthorne
My comment: The article does not mention when the UFO
incident occurred. It is possible the incident occurred in December 1981.
