“Is it normal for a 10-year-old girl to grow 5½ inches and gain 25 pounds in a single
month?
Mrs. Max Stull, 1409 Wilmoore SE, said today that her 10-year-old
daughter, Sharon, has done just that during the past month.
Mrs. Stull said she is worried because her
daughter’s growth began just one month after the girl suffered eye burns while
gazing at a strange, egg-shaped object in the sky here on April 28 [1964].
Recovers
Mrs. Stull said today that her daughter has recovered
from the eye burns, although she still must wear dark glasses in the sunlight
and can only read a few paragraphs in a book before her eyes begin to smart
again.
Mrs. Stull said that her daughter’s personality and
habits have changed during her recent and sudden growth.
‘A month ago she was just a child who liked to play
with dolls and paper dolls,’ Mrs. Stull said. ‘Now she is suddenly mature and
grown-up, cooks meals for herself, cleans house and takes care of the younger
children.’
Mrs. Stull said that Sharon , at the time she saw the strange
object in the sky, was 4-feet, 8-inches tall and weighed about 85 pounds .
Today, she said, her daughter is 5-feet, 1½ inches
tall and weighs 110
pounds — and is still growing fast.
Mrs. Stull said that Sharon has outgrown all her clothes and
quickly outgrows new clothing and shoes.
Mrs. Stull Confused
‘I’m so confused I don’t know what to believe,’ Mrs.
Stull said.
Sharon, who will be 11 in October, say quietly in
her home as reporters interviewed her mother. Asked how she felt, the child
replied, ‘I just feel funny.’
Mrs. Stull said that a scientist from Tucson ,
whom she identified as C. E. Lorenzo, visited and talked with Sharon over the weekend.
She said that a Los Angeles
physician has offered to examine and treat the child free of charge if the
family can get her to California
this summer. She said she and her husband are not financially able to take the
child to California .
Mrs. Stull said her daughter has never been checked
for possible radiation burns.
‘I know she [definitely] saw something in the sky that
day, but I don’t know what,’ she said. ‘It has been a nightmare ever since — I
wish I had let her play hooky that day.’ ”
