Large 60 feet domed disc, with bright orange-amber glow from within
C. Bruce Stevenson saw a large 60 feet domed disc, with bright orange-amber glow from within, approach slowly to about 100-150 feet away and just above his tool barn and then continue to slowly move away. An object was sighted that had an appearance and performance beyond the capability of known earthly aircraft.One orange saucer, , about twenty feet away, was observed by one male witness on a farm for over three minutes (Stevenson, C Bruce).
Farmer B. Stevens woke up early in the morning to go check the farm animals, on his way to the cattle shed he spotted a metallic saucer-shaped object hovering low above one of the barns. Stevens immediately realized that the object was real and solid and that it measured about 60 feet in diameter and was about 10 to 12 feet thick. The center seemed to be shaped like a dome, which gave off a brilliant orange light. The dome was transparent, because when the object inclined slightly he was able to see a silhouette of a man-like figure inside. The occupant of the saucer seemed to be concentrating his glance on the several barns on the farm. Stevens thought that it was because he had a green lighting one of the barns. Soon the dome darkened and Stevens could no longer see the occupant. The object then flipped over and shot away at high speed.
