Mlt~NESOTA, MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1967 Guess What, Folks I FLYING SAUCER JN ROCHESTER QR WHAT ?. :tg ijO!I!l~ By .JOHN NOVOTNEY PostBu lll'tin Sl"tf Writer " I don't reallv believe in ~ g saucers from another .. planet, but I suppose its pc)iaibte." Mar Hrubetz, 12. son of Mr. " Mrs. D.L. Hrubetz, 1948 3rd Ave.. NE. made this remark after taking the pic- tures that accompany this article. They. are. the first i-eported pictures taken in the Roch- ester area of what appears to be a flying saucer. He took them March 12. :\!ark said he his living room window to see if the paperboy was com- ing, but instead saw a ing saucer-like object hover- ing over the roof of the :I Oat tment buildin~ across ~he street from the Hrubetz It was s ilver-colored and black arounrl the outside edge. he said. A cloth or plastic - like material flut- tered from the top of the stack in the center of the ob iect. Mark said. : -..vas awfuUv -ran~d be- cau.:;e it was so l ow,'' he .::;aid. lt looked to him to be a bout the size of a car. He raced out to the kit chen, got his camera and took three pictures of the round object before it lifted up out ot sight. It was in viPw for nnlv about 45 sec about 9:15 on a Sunday morning, and :\lark was the . only member of the fanuly who was up at the time. His pare~ts did not see the ob- ject, and he doesnt know of any ne ighbors who may "We thought !\fark was seeing things when he told us," l\fn. Hrubetz said, "u d were ~eaJJy shocked . h-m the-pictures came :tiack from the developers." The. objed was over the ~.apartment when he first saw ' it, but moved over the street ' by the time he took the pic lures, be said. His camera a " little cheap or1c he won in a contest. The circular object " tilted 0[ wobbled back and forth" as it moved. and then "shot up" at an angle out of sight, :Mark said. Most of the boy's cJass-- ( Continued on page 15) raced out to the kit chen, got his camera and took three pictures of the round object before it lifted up out of sight. It was fn view for only about 45 sec and he could hear no sound from the object. The boy was sincere when telling about the inci dent, and did not appear to be attemptinl to pet petrate This incident took place ( c.ontinued from page 1) mates thought the pictures . were "pretty neat," :ft.Iark said, but a few accused him of rlggiq tbe pictures. He insists he did not, and these accusations have made him' reluctant to report it to Air Force authorities. ,.I am not about to let my r boy get up on the roof and rig up something like that," l\trs. Hrubetz .said, adding it wouldn't be like him to do that sort of thing, anyway. Mark is interested in as- tronomy and got a telescope for Christmas.
