“ ‘We were close, closer than I ever want to be
again,’ said a deputy sheriff who chased a flying object from Portage County
into Pennsylvania .
Hundreds of persons in Ohio
and Pennsylvania
reported seeing the ‘brilliant and shiny’ object early Sunday morning (17 April
1966).

together.’
Portage County Deputy Sheriff Dale Spaur sad he and
his partner, W. L. Neff, ‘were close’ to the object in separate cars and chased
it 86 miles
for an hour and a half, from near Ravenna to Conway, Pa., near Pittsburgh.”
