The whole article:
“A flying object spun through the air along the Mersey last night [25 August 1955], according to two people in different parts of the city. It was huge and cylindrical, strangely phosphorescent, and hovered for fully five minutes over the Pierhead.

Peter Wilson, 17-years-old builder, of 200 Queen’s Drive, Liverpool 14, was walking with his girl friend near the Clubmoor Cinema when he saw the saucer. ‘I was scared stiff,’ he told the Echo. ‘My girl friend was so startled she ran home.’

He thought the object was about 15 yards in diameter and was spinning 700 feet above the ground. ‘It seemed to be looking at something,’ he commented. At 10.45 p.m. it raced away in the direction of the Pierhead.

Meanwhile, when he was walking home, Mr. Eilton Fishgold, 4b Woolton Road, Birkenhead, said he saw a saucer hovering over the Pierhead at 11 p.m. ‘I was scared stiff. At first I couldn’t believe my eyes but it was there—a great big glowing thing spinning round all the time,’ he said this afternoon.”
