We had been visiting a mutual woman friend that evening in the Country Club Apartments, located on the east side or North ELm Street going north, that 1e, to the right ot North Elm. The apartments are two-storied, ins several ditterent buildings, and surround an inner large court ot lawn,and trees ot acme height surround the place. The court is ver1 dark~ as is the whole area at night. I had just looked at my watch inside while we were chatting, and by the time we got outside it was about 10 min. later, or 9a20 While still within the court, \fe both saw a brilliant silver pbJec~ dart diagonally from the sky and she at once saidJ "A shooting star1" but I immediately po:i:nted out that it couldn't be a shooting star since it had no trail except the speed of the object itself, and that the head was tar too la~ge -about the size or a baseball, perfectly round and very very beautiful in its unusualness. It seemed to come within yarda of the tops of the tall trees, then suddenly it wasn't there at all -it didn't peter out, it just wasn't there. We saw it onl7 for the spaoe or about 3 seoonds. My friend (Mra. B.C. Barnes or Asheville, a court reporter who Qccasionall~ reports Court here as she was on this trip) said, "Why, I thought it was going to land right on the lawn!, We were, when we saw 1t, and 1uuned1atel,-atter when we saw the other--\talking West: towards the street, and the silver object was-tow~dsrog~t;ight .
