H e awakened Mrs. Kendrick who went outdoors to get an unobstructed view of it She gives its apparent lize as 'about half the size of the full moon' and its color 'a deep orange.' Not noticed at first, but lster in her two hours of obsenation~ was a 'narrow, rope-like bea m of light' which emerged from one sid e of the disc nnd ex- tended vertically for 'considerable distance'. Also, a fter watching this object for a short while she noted a r.other object (not clearly visible at fir st , b ecause o f tha brilliance of object No. 1 ) \vhich was a short distanc::J in front of the disc and of a dull, sil' e:-color.
