A pink, iridescent, mushroom-shaped object

Mr. and Mrs. Bordes, of New York City, were fishing when they heard a loud splash and a "gurgling sound," saw a pink, iridescent, mushroom-shaped object rise about 70 cm above the water, and sink into the reservoir. Later, they saw the object again, about five meters long and surrounded with turbulence. It reversed direction several times without turning around and finally flew away very fast.


An object was sighted that had an appearance and performance beyond the capability of known earthly aircraft.

One luminous ball, about 20 feet across, was observed by two witnesses, a married couple, at a lake for over 12 minutes (Bordes).


Hynek rating: CE1: Close Encounters of the First Kind
Vallee rating: CE1: UFO comes within 500 feet of the witness, but no after effects are suffered by the witness or the surrounding area.
