A cigar-shaped object about five meters long, showing several portholes, hovering close to the ground
Ina Salter was driving on Route 53 in a desolate area when she encountered a cigar-shaped object about five meters long, showing several portholes, which was hovering close to the ground to the left of the road. The portholes, about 50 cm in diameter, were illuminated with a yellowish light, and there were shadows moving behind. As she passed the object, it took off straight up, hovered for a few seconds, then rose out of sight. One yellow cigar-shaped object was observed.
