Viewed through binoculars. Dark shiny object with two triangular windows on top, rotating bottom, approached house to under 200m, hovered one minute, backed away very slowly, curved to the NNW, went behind woods.
An object was sighted that had an appearance and performance beyond the capability of known earthly aircraft. One shiny disc, around 500 feet away, was observed by more than three female witnesses, typical age 28, in a residential area for over six minutes (Marson, H).
Hynek rating: CE1: Close Encounters of the First Kind
Vallee rating: CE1: UFO comes within 500 feet of the witness, but no after effects are suffered by the witness or the surrounding area.
