11 October 1966
(Deseret News, Salt
Lake City , Utah )
The whole article:
“Authorities in two widely separated areas—New Jersey
and South Dakota—Monday night (10 October 1966) reported sightings of
unidentified flying objects. The incidents were apparently unrelated.
Two UFOs were reported sighted in the Fort Thompson , S.C. (my
correction: South Dakota ),
area, both resembling ‘lighted merry-go-rounds.’ The first sighting was reported
by Kanabec rancher Roger Huston about 9 p.m. CST. He said a bluish-colored
light appeared to be hanging over the Crow Creek Indian Reservation community
of Fort Thompson .
This sighting was later corroborated by motor
patrolman Patrick Gribbin, Sheriff Lee Roberts and game warden Floyd Gaarder of
Presho, all of whom drove into the country to view the lights.
The first object slowly faded from an overhead
position to an easterly direction, and two hours later Fort Thompson
police said it had brightened and was joined by another object in the sky. The
lights on the second object seemed to rotate, witnesses said, changing from red
to green to yellow, while the original object went from white to bluish-green
to red.
Hundreds of miles to the east, at Wanaque , N.J. ,
at least five persons—three of them policemen—reported sighting UFOs.”

On 22 November 2011, I also reported on this United
Press International article. The Press-Courier titled the (more elaborate)
article “Unrelated UFO sightings reported.”
