Object seen over the north end of town at 3,000-5,000 feet height about four miles away moving in several directions rocking or rotating in semi-circles six times, move east descending rapidly to about 700-1,000 feet height, rock again a few times with upper side now visible reflecting sunlight, fly southwest to two miles west of Dillon, rock again a few times, then rapidly flew over airport 12 miles northeast of Dillon at 1,000 feet departing rapidly to the east disappearing over mountains. No sound or trail. Speed > 1,000 mph so great object seemed blurred. A flying disc was observed.One blue-green disc, about 20 feet across, was observed by four witnesses at a mountain for several minutes (Gosta Miller).
