Cherry Creek, New York, USA
Three teenaged males, one teenaged female, milking cows on farm, saw a saucer shaped object. Effects on animals were noted thereafter.
Four students working on a farm noted radio interference and a peculiar "beeping sound," then saw an object at low altitude on the farm of William Butcher. It was shaped like two saucers glued together, had a shiny chrome like surface, diameter of 15 meters, height of six meters, and left a trail and smell of burned gasoline. It rose straight up into the clouds, which were illuminated with green light. Five minutes later it came down again over a woods, rose, and finally flew off to the southwest. Effects were noted on animals: milk production decreased from two 1/2 barrels to one; a dog barked, and other animals were terrified. One green saucer was observed by four witnesses for two to three minutes.
Hynek rating: CE2: Close Encounters of the Second Kind
