Harold had just been taking some ribbing from hia c ut his saucer interests, when Lita exclaimed, tf,J God, what s that?" now savr it, replied: "My C-<~d, could that be it?n It was. A whi s ellipse about an ei~!-th the size of the full moon, and three or four times as briB}lt as Jupiter, was moving in a clear s}<'1J over Black Uoun- tain in the east-r.ortheast. ~s el:lphatic about the luci~.osity; the glovr could not have been reflected sunlight, which would have been yellow. (A plane, reflecting a brilliant golden eleam, hacl passed in the eastern sky a few cinutes before.) The ellipse, horizontally oriented, was moving slowly south- i7ard ( tortard the observers ) One of the wi. tnesses noted a halting or j~rky t]pe of motion. did not see this himself, since he rushed indoors after a few seconds in a ruitless effort to find his camera (which, when four.d, was not loaded anyway). He did, hmtever, see enough to feel sure that the ob- iect was not a s;;rometrical e gg-shape, but a thick disc or flattened spheroid \like a 1'lhi te tire rri thout the hole in the center) seen not quite from edge-on. The object iTas not fuzzy; its contours were nell-defined. Uovi:'lg deliberately south,.,a.rd, it appeared to aake a turn toward the east rthen it arrived at a position d'.le east of the obse~1ers; it gradually ctwindled in size until it was lost i n th~afterglow. It had been in view for four minutes by the observers watches. It could not have been a balloon, an aircraft, or an astronomical object. It would seem to be comparable to the UFOs filmed by ar.d seen i n the movie "U .F .0." Lake George, New York ~o Ca~e (Information Only) July 2 , 1957: About 4 p . m. on the same day that CSI vice - preside .Jighted a UFO at Lake George, Hew York (see N .. L . #8), another intere vation was taking place nearer home--in Teaneck, New Jersey. Mrs her 12-year-old son Robert, and his 12-year.old frie nd Richard Levine, saw a brilliantly shining UFO of peculiar shape-- like a kettledrum of a long phone conversation with the Research Director, Mrs. the similarity of the object's shape to that of a kettledrum--round tom, flat on top. on the bot- When Urs. the boys first noticed it, the "flying kettledrum" was east of their position and apparently sorr.evthat south of the George ',Tash- ir.gton Bridge. (They live about three r.1iles "Rest of the Hudson River, and a ferr blocks north of the bridge. ) The object, at an elevation of at least 50 degrees, nas moving rapidly and silently in a northerly direction ( Tenafly") in a straiqht, soooth trajectory. It left no trail. In angular si~e, it exceeded the full ~oon_,so confusion ~th a conventional aircraft is out of the question, The edges Tiere sharp and clearly defir.ed, ar:d the object had a decidedly "solid" appearance. Its color was brilliantly metallic, ap- pearing precisely like highly polished chromium plate. No windows, openings or protrusions of ~ sort uere to be seen--the surface was "just an unmarred But as it proceeded northward, ita shi~J finish abruptly turned to a dull, cloud-like, greyish-white color.
