Case 165, Conway, Mass. July .2, 1956—Predating Fourth
of July’s fireworks, about the same time as the Bromley and

‘Bloomington sightings, was incident which involved a
reversible UFO. The sight thought at first the

object was a shooting star or plane, but its behavior proved
differently. Said the Greenfield Recorder-Gazette: “It appeared
to be composed of one bright light and although traveling at
what appeared to be a high rate of speed, was able to reverse

its course completely. A low-pitched hum, rather than a whir

was detected. The object crossed and recrossed the sky several |

times before speeding away.” *1
