Road blocked by storage tank-shaped object with dome top

Business manager Clifton N. Crowder was driving home when he saw an object on the road 70 meters away. Supported by four legs, it was a vertical cylinder, five meters in diameter, with a half-sphere on top. It was gray and its base was one meter above the pavement. When the witness turned his high beams on, the craft gave off a vertical light and vanished. The road burned for 15 minutes. Norman Martin, who lived nearby, also observed the light. Holes, traces of burns, and calcined matches were noted at the site.


An object was observed. It moved with a falling-leaf motion. Multiple independent witnesses.

One ball was observed by two male witnesses, one of them an experienced observor, on a highway for over ten minutes (Clifton N Crowder).
