ADVOCATE, STURGEON BAY, WI         --------------------------------------        Last night (July 29) at 11:45 I looked out at the stars and saw a       very bright light above the lake. I watached it flash through the       trees. It was about four times the size of a star. About an hour       later after it shot flashes and was very bright, it came into the       clear sky. Above it was an object that hovered over it. This was       at least 20 times larger. The smaller object dipped continually       always going back to the space it occupied. After an hour of this       behavior they moved to the right and the larger object went to the       side - a distance apart. It was steady but the smaller one still       dipped. At a little after 2 a.m. when the large one went above the       small one the one on top sped away to the right. The little one made       dips but kept on lowering itself. A dark cloud covered it and       then were both gone.        --------------------------------------               Report #: 180        From: UFO INFO SERVICE        Date Sent: 10-16-1986        Subject: VALHALLA, NY               CASE TYPE: LRS - NL        DATE: 10 JULY 1986         TIME: UNKNOWN         DURATION: UNKNOWN        WITNESSES: MANY         SOURCE: CITIZEN REGISTER, OSSINING, NY         --------------------------------------        Ray Nethercott saw a "big hot dog" fly by his Valhalla home Thursday       night. "It was weird," the 18 year old said "It was going pretty slow       and had lots of lights on it."               Alison Yuri, 20, of Fishkill was driving through Ossining on Route 9       when she saw something hovering over her car.               "My boyfriend saw it first," she said. "It was rounder than a hot       dog and had about 20 white lights and two red lights on it."               Nethercott and Ms. Yuri were among dozens of people along the Hudson       River in Westchester County and in New Jersey who called police       departments and local airports to report strange lights flying along       the river.        --------------------------------------               Report #: 181        From: UFO INFO SERVICE        Date Sent: 10-16-1986        Subject: DETROIT, MI               CASE TYPE: LRS - NL        DATE: 12 AUGUST 1986         TIME: UNKNOWN         DURATION: UNKNOWN        WITNESSES: MANY         SOURCE: NEWS, DETROIT, MI         --------------------------------------        It moved ever so slowly through the night sky like a glowing, spiraling,       one- armed pinwheel.               Wherever it came from, whatever it was, the UFO gave 110 Metro Detroit       stargazers more than they bargained for Tuesday night.                It also spawned hundreds of calls of inquiry around the country Wednesday       after sightings of the mysterious object elsewhere in Michigan and       in nearly every other state east of the Mississippi.               Residents of Kentucky's Clark County, east of Lexington, heard a boom       accompany the show.               "Some people said they saw great big ball of fire," said Clark County       Deputy Larry Lawson. "The people said their homes shook and windows       vibrated as if there had been an explosion or earthquake, but it was       just for just a very few seconds. They said the whole sky lit up.               "All these people weren't imagining or seeing things. Some of them       were very terrified over it right after it happened. Some said they       smelled something like gunpowder."               The object was seen by Detroit skywatchers who had gathered at the       Troy Outdoor Education Center's farm for an outdoor lecture and a       look at the annual Perseid meteor shower. The campfire was blazing       and marsh-mallows were roasting when suddenly one of the attendees       stood up, pointed up into the southeast sky and shouted, "What is       that?"        --------------------------------------               Report #: 182        From: UFO INFO SERVICE        Date Sent: 10-16-1986        Subject: EBENSBURG, PA               CASE TYPE: LRS - NL        DATE: 12 AUGUST 1986         TIME: 2200 - 2207 HOURS         DURATION: 01: MINUTE        WITNESSES: MANY         SOURCE: TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT, JOHNSTOWN, PA         --------------------------------------        Researchers are scratching their heads, perplexed at an unusual sighting       by apparently thousands of people over the eastern United States shortly       after 10 a.m. Tuesday.               Nancy Miller of Ebensburg was among those taking advantage of a clear       night to watch for shooting stars.               Mrs. Miller was looking high in the sky when she caught a glimpse       of something moving at the bottom of her vision. At first, she thought       it was an airplane. But she saw a bright light, then a light that       appeared to come out of the first one in swirls that she described       as almost cloudlike.               "It was moving toward me," she said. "I was ready to go into the       house to call        my husband and son when my son came out and he saw it too.                "While we were standing there looking, it slowly changed - like three       lights in sort of a long thin cloud. It became cloudlike and slowly       went away, becoming fainter until we couldn't see it."               At first, Mrs. Miller said, the object seemed far away, but it moved       quite rapidly toward her. From start to finish, she estimated, the       sighting took no more than a minute.        --------------------------------------                **********************************************        * THE U.F.O.
