I have something that may interast you~ So~3thing diff~rent then a flying saucer story Thi3 evening I wenc to a drive-in m~:rvi3 at t~ 9 \laterford D~:!. 7e-in in vlaterford, Conn~cticut to se~ a historical movie intitled ana its co-feature '\v!jich I saw be:to:re. It was about t".vant:r .five minut~s ')f sky t.;as clear and the moon was out. I ha-ppan:r to :slance np at t~e noon because since I had seen Th~ Raip. Enit t,al~ (wbic.b ,layed :fir3t) before I wasn't very int~rested ;n it. I 't,vas alone in the car as I did not have a data for tha evening. So, I was looking at the L'loon when I n~ticed a very dark speck or object noving 3:% across tba r-ace o.: c:1a noon, in a straight line. Has travaling across the ~ middle o:' the moon surface. I continued to wat:h the moon for about ten ninuta3 and I noticed that this ~ould t~ll thiz by lJTatching my '\ratch i:1 th~ "Jri~h~ J.l~ht dash board. Now the bright side of the moon roflocting the sun's rays is al~;ays to1v:1:rd;; us and to the na!{od human ey3 the :;".._;~:t:t:I% cratar surfaces of the moon look li3ht bro~m in color That is 111'ny I could see this black speck or object rnoving toon's surface. The object must have b3en quite l~rge to inable me to sea it as a black speck. After looking at the moon for ten m1 !!Utes I then went back to look at the novie. About a hal.f an !1our-. la~er I looked at the moon again and observed this sane object still orbiting t h a moon; but I notice d that the ob.i ect reaching :!t~t!ss t~9 Jll&l'llis. moon's surface stopp9d .for about fi ''e ninutas then contin'"J.e d its orbit I an staying in Niantic, Conneeticu }; 1JTi tb my .fanily for tha summer and ouzt house or rat:1er the hotJse that 1-1e are ren:ting i s o~ a hill over looking the ocean and on nights tbat I cant sleep 1 lay in bed as =: room faces tha water looking at the moon thirJcing about the next day's vrork.
