An oval object with white, red, and green lights appeared to land on Route 114.
A man saw what he thought was a crashing plane, then observed it was oval, had white, red, and green lights, flew low over him, circled, came down with pendulum motion, and appeared to land on Route 114. At midnight, two men driving along that route saw a beam sweep the road, stopped, and saw the object in a field. It was a disk with a white, a green, and three red lights. The two reports were independent. An object was sighted by multiple independent witnesses that had an appearance and aerobatic performance beyond the capability of known earthly aircraft.One green-red saucer, about 20 feet across, was observed by seven male witnesses in a residential area. No sound was heard.
