Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. One object was observed by three witnesses near a missile for a few seconds (Harkins).
James, 7, and Michael Harkins, with another boy, went to the beach after seeing a "rocket or jet" apparently dive into the sea. There they saw 2 men standing talking; they wore glass encased helmets, gray suits, and had what looked like scuba tanks on their backs. On hearing one boy whistle, they dashed to the water and boarded a "round white thing" that sped to a strange vessel 100 yards offshore. The craft, which bore a gray star and the letters "HU HR PS RED," had windows through which people could be seen. When the 2 men reached it, it submerged and vanished.
