Fred White was fishing when he heard a high-pitched whine coming from the east and saw an object come in his direction and land 15 meters away, scattering sand. It was at least 30 meters in diameter, and was shaped like two plates glued together. Through several oval portholes he could see light inside. A man with a fair complexion, wearing a metallic helmet, looked at the witness. He wore a sky-blue, one-piece coverall with no visible buttons or fasteners, and gloves made of shiny mesh. Warm air was felt as the craft took off about six minutes later, and radio interference was noted. A flying disc was observed. Occupants of the craft were seen. Electromagnetic effects were noted.One blue-metallic oval object, about 150 feet across, was observed by one male witness on the shore for over six minutes.
