   # 890104 :  Near Harrisburg, PA. Event date, December 4, 1988, 5:25 a.m.   
      
        A state corrections officer (name withheld) was driving his car to his   
   prison work site when he was blinded by a light, swerving to a halt on the   
   road.  Departing the car, he tried to study the object but could not make out   
   a shape due to its brilliance.  A strong wind emanated from either the object   
   or general weather conditions.  About 75 feet in diameter, the object was   
   perhaps ovular, polished silver, and approximately 150 feet overhead.  A   
   medium tone humming sound was distinct.  After an undetermined number of   
   minutes, the vehicle departed, laterally at first, then vertically.  The   
   witness then realized an auto a short distance ahead.  The motorist, an older   
   well-dressed man, exhibited tears and appeared terrified.  The man remarked   
   that he had been returning from work, which the officer found odd.  He then   
   felt the car hood, which was cold.   
      
        Immediately following the incident, the officer experienced a severe   
   "sunburn", vision and hearing difficulties, headache and dizziness,   
   musculature aches and a skin rash.  His auto was coated with a thin coating   
   of material later analyzed by a laboratory as having high concentrations of   
   particular elements.   
      
        (Analysis:   A classic CE-2, faulted only by the fact that the officer,   
   in the excitement of the moment, failed to obtain the second motorist's name   
   or license number before he drove away.  Another prison officer verified   
   hearing a humming sound from his home within minutes of the roadside   
   encounter and in the direction which the object departed.  Highly   
   significant).
