Navy Pilot incident. Round, aluminum-looking object, about 30 ft in diameter. Explanation: Aircraft.

A former Navy pilot and another man, both regarded as trustworthy, were at work in a field when they saw an intense light, cone-shaped, emitted from the ground. A similar light was observed in the sky when the one on ground was turned off, then the reverse took place. A round, aluminum-looking object, about ten meters in diameter, with one red and one white light, then appeared and descended to ground level with a strong whistling sound similar to a small jet. Piercing and high-pitched voices similar to those of children playing were heard. After 40 minutes the craft took off. Before it did so, a jet aircraft flying at low altitude circled its position. On Jul. 31 and August 1, the densely wooded area was explored from a helicopter and on foot by Sheriff Nickell and a U.S. Air Force officer, but nothing was found.


Close encounter with a craft and its occupants.

One red ball, about 40 feet across, was observed by two male witnesses on a farm for 40 minutes (Lafferty). A whistling sound was heard.
