Quote from the article, ‘Wave
of Close-Range Sightings Reported’:
“A rotating UFO, emitting a hissing sound,
hovered ‘like a humming-bird’ over the car of a South Carolina businessman June
29. This was the second car-pacing incident in a week along the Atlantic
seaboard, the scene of the most recent UFO activity.
The sighting wave which began
late in April, the largest since November 1957, has continued steadily ever
since. It has included an unprecedented number of landing, near-landing and
close approach cases.
The first case to be widely
publicized was the report of an egg-shaped UFO observed on the ground near
Socorro, N.M., April 24 by Officer Lonnie Zamora (see separate story). For
about a week the reports were carried on the newswires and made front page
headlines in many cities. National TV networks reported some of the landing
cases, showing films of the sites. Then the news faded off the newswires and
front pages. But the reports continued.
The most commonly reported
shapes have been oval and disc. Sound has been heard in an unusual number of
cases, and body lights have been visible in nighttime sightings.”
