Occupants of the craft were seen. Electromagnetic and physiological and healing effects were noted. A witness later died.

One orange domed disc, about 300 feet across, was observed in clear weather by one male 70-year-old witness (as reported to the police) and others on a highway for 48 seconds (Fredrickson; Obryan; Wergland; Wheeler). A loud sound was heard.

Investigating a glow in the sky, police officer George Wheeler, 70, came upon a silvery lens-shaped object with an orange cupola, 250 ft in diameter, hovering 100 ft above the ground 500 ft away. There was a black hose like appendage hanging from it. Through 6 portholes a bluish light shone, and he could see shadows of figures moving inside. It rose vertically, emitting a flash of bluish light that caused him to lose consciousness; at the same time the car's radio and headlights went dead. The car was later found to have burnt out spark plugs and points. Wheeler had to be hospitalized for anxiety for several days. Another witness saw an orange luminous object.
