A round, dull gray or silver object two ft diameter

Two Leuer boys playing outside saw a round, dull gray or silver object two feet diameter, one feet thick, like inverted plates approach from the NW drop down between the boys from a height of 12 feet and land eight feet away from one of the boys like a balloon with a metallic clinking sound and a train whistle noise. It spun once, shot up 20 feet, made the whistle noise again, hovered, shot up to a height of 30 feet maneuvering to avoid phone lines and trees, flew away to the northeast . CIC Special Agent Capt. Charles L Victor, 113th CIC Det, found an area two feet in diameter where the ground showed signs of extreme pressure.


One metallic star, , was observed by two witnesses.
