Four witnesses see a luminous, saucer-shaped object.
One saucer was observed by four witnesses for ten minutes.
Hynek:
Well, you know, you have seen these saucers that kids ride down the hill on, you know what I mean? You put two of those together with the rims separating, and I swear it looks just as near that as I can describe anything. ... I wouldn't say it was reflecting, I would say it was more luminant -- you know, like when you look at clock hands that are luminous at night.
I have had no military experience, but emergencies often arise in the hospital nursing field, and one must learn to school oneself to maintain composure, which I feel was most helpful to me at the time of our close-range sighting. I worked for 25 years as a nurse, and I always try to school myself to be calm and not panic. I think that helped me some.
I know it was something physical. I'll never believe otherwise. ... I just can't believe it was gas or anything. The outline was very sharp. It was never fuzzy at any time. . . . Then as we watched this possibly for five minutes, it just got a tremendous burst of speed and sped right off. No sound whatever, though. It was something solid, as much as if I were to go out and see an airplane. ... It was just like looking up under an airplane, just as if an airplane were standing there . . . just perfectly motionless.
Hynek rating: CE1: Close Encounters of the First Kind
