The craft was first sighted by about 200 people at the softball game on Tuesday, said Donaid Napier, publisher of the local newspaper. The Clay Citizen. It was making just a deafening noise...Out on the field, the umpires, the pitcher, the batter and everybody just stoped what they were doing and just looked straight up. It got everybody's attention, Napier said. Witnesses said the object was 250 to 300 feet long, with an octagonal shape at least four outside lights and a beacon at the center. It looked just exactly like a jet plane and sounded like it was going to crash. It was going down at about a 45 degree angle right toward the river, he sais. Clay County Sheriff's Department officals said they have had numerous calls about reported sighting since Tuesday. Dwight Goolsby, owner of a local restaurant said he saw the craft, It had one big white light spotlight-like on each side shining down on the ground. He said you could see real good on the ground. It was just sitting there, then it eased off over the horizon. Melba Burch, of the Chamber of Commerce, said the craft passed over her home. It sounded mighty darn low. She said my husband's worked around planes and I've been around planes all my life. This wasn't any light plane that came over my house. ---------------------------------------- Report #: 152 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 09-04-1986 Subject: BLENHEIM, NJ CASE TYPE: LRS - NL DATE: 28 AUGUST 1986 TIME: 2100 HOURS DURATION: 2 1/2: MINUTES WITNESSES: TWO SOURCE: NATIONAL UFO REPORTING CENTER ----------------------------------------- Witness stated he didn't see any figure, he couldn't make it out.

Cars coming from both directions observed it. It had green lights, six to eight lights, larger than normal navigational lights, none flashing. Observed for 30-40 seconds then from each direction there was like a bend coming around and right at the spot where they lost sight of it. When they all came around the bend the hillside was on fire indicating that it had crashed on a real steep embankment. People stopped on both sides of the road to climb up the embankment to put out the fire thinking that an airplane had crashed, but there was no crash and the object just disappeared. There was a nine foot diameter fire on top of the hill. The report went into Emergency Service as an airplane crash. They went up on the hill the next day and found two burnt circles, samples have been taken and are presently at the lab. What was unusual about it was the fire was put out very quickly but after 15 hours of the incident the area where the fire had been still had warm stones but outside that area the stones were cold. One witness was coming from California and was an air traffic controller. He stated he would sign a statement stating that what he saw was not a conventional aircraft and it was double tiered object with eight to ten green lights and whatever it was was not a normal aircraft. ---------------------------------------- Report #: 155 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 09-08-1986 Subject: VANDERBILT, PA CASE TYPE: CE I - RV DATE: 9 SEPTEMBER 1986 TIME: 21:40 HOURS DURATION: 03: MINUTES WITNESSES: THREE SOURCE: PASU ORGANIZATION GREENSBURG,PA ----------------------------------------- Sighting in Vanderbilt in Fayette County, Western Penslvania.

The motorists reported an an other- worldly light on the western horizon followed their car as they traveled toward Las Vegas shortly before dawn Thursday. However, an expert on heavenly bodies said later Thursday that the light probably was nothing more than the planet Mars. A member of a group that compiles reports of UFO sightings does not agree. At this point, officers of the DPS don't really care what it was. They are tired of all the hoopla. A motorist, who DPS spokesman Alan Schmidt said wants to remain anonymous, told an officer that she, another adult and her two sons were driving to Las Vegas, Nev., on U.S. 93 early Thursday when she and her sons spotted a strange orange light that hovered above the western horizon and appeared to follow the car as it traveled north. The object was said to "pulsate like a star" and was described as appearing "about twice as bright and twice as big as a star." Patrolman Veronica Minch, Schmidt said, had spotted the object earlier. "She thought little of it and went on about her business," Schmidt said. "Meanwhile, down the road, these people see it." The DPS phoned Nellis Air Force Base, near Las Vegas, "to see if any rockets or balloons had been launched," Schmidt said. "They said they had no activity like that." ---------------------------------------- ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
