Felixstowe, UK
Orange oval object emitting hum passed low over observers. Witnesses terrified, one observer hospitalized for shock.
An object was sighted that had an appearance and performance beyond the capability of known earthly aircraft. One orange ovoid object was observed by more than two witnesses at a lane (Forsyth; Johnson).
Three young people, Geoffrey Maskey, Michael Johnson, and Mavis Forsyth, were parked in Maskey's car in a lane when Michael Johnson hastily left the car. Then a high-pitched hum was heard and an orange glowing object, 6 ft long, was seen flying over the car. Shortly after, Johnson staggered from the hedge and fell unconscious. In the hospital, he recovered consciousness and said he had been drawn from the car by an involuntary compulsion, and later spoke of a "man in the flames pointing at him." He had suffered severe shock, and there were burn marks on the back of his neck.
