Disk-shaped object about 300 ft in diameter. Explanation: Hoax.
A 37-year-old civilian had just put his car in the garage when he saw an object about 100 meters in diameter, shaped like a disk, which flew in front of the moon in a northerly direction at about 80 km/h. It was surrounded with orange lights that weakened as a blue source came on, very intense for about three seconds then all lights disappeared as the object was about 700 meters away. This was followed by a sort of "shock-wave" effect, and tree leaves were shaken. The witness entered his house and called the Air Force. Twenty minutes later his vision became hazy and his eyes were painful. He gradually lost vision in both eyes, and his entire body was "sunburned." Medical examination compared the symptoms to ultraviolet exposure. His vision came back gradually over a period of several days. Reported encounter with inhuman beings involving radiation effects.One blue-orange saucer, , was observed by one male 37-year-old witness.
