Sphere encircled in middle with windows, came to 150', 65' altitude. Inside human-appearing occupant, wore silver suit. Second figure stood in front of instrument panel. Witness believes she saw USAF craft.
An object was observed. Occupants of the craft were seen. One sphere was observed by one female witness in a street (Crutchfield, B). Two 5.8-foot-tall humanoids, each wearing a silver suit, were seen.
Mrs B. S. Crutchfield was on her front steps when she saw a "basketball shaped" object come from the southwest. It "looked like it was going to crash in the street." It was encircled around the middle by windows, through one of which she was able to see an entirely human appearing occupant, dressed in a silver garment. She was able to see a second figure as the object rotated, through another window, as he stood in front an instrument panel. Closest proximity was 150 feet, and lowest altitude about 60-70 feet above ground. Duration was about 2 minutes. The object disappeared in a westerly direction. The witness had subsequent sightings.
