Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. One object was observed by seven female witnesses at a school for five minutes (Millard, E). A silhouetted being was seen. Explanation: Balloon.

Esther I Millard, director of the Millard School, was returning to her home on the school grounds after her dog when she saw an object "the size of a small room," 8 feet wide by 12 feet high, shaped somewhat like a blender with a very brilliant orange light at the bottom, hovering at an altitude of about 50 feet over one of the school buildings. A number of students were hanging out the windows of a nearby dormitory shouting, "UFO, UFO!" The object moved toward her rapidly, and she could see it was occupied by "a vertical shape of some kind" that 'could have been a person;" the "shape" was seen through the transparent structure above the light. Half a dozen of the students had by now rushed out of the dormitory to see it. The object moved slowly westward towards the gymnasium building, seeming to land on the roof; it then took off toward the trees on the lakeshore and was lost to view.
