Mr. Barry from Lincoln was driving to Indiana when he saw a blue light in the northwest sky. It vanished to the southeast. The witness missed a turn, had to go back toward Auburn, and had reached a point northwest of Peru when he saw an orange glow in the sky. Coming near, he observed the glow came from a cauldron-shaped object on the ground, about 12 meters from the road. He stopped to examine the object, which measured about ten meters diameter and seemed to be made of cast iron. Thirty cm from the top was a row of windows, 25 cm in diameter, from which the orange light was coming. On the other side was a blue flame like glow. There was no noise, no sign of life or activity, and no antenna or protrusion. The witness drove away.

One blue-orange ball, , was observed by one witness. No sound was heard.
