Case 214, Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 8, 1956—A steady
orange light, “brighter than Arcturus” was seen by a lone
observer at 9:40 p.m., traversing 90 degrees of sky in
about a minute. It was traveling north parallel to the

observers horizon. No sound.

Ed: Cases 212 and 214 are interesting in respect to the Interna-
tional Flying Saucer Sighting Day program which set aside the
dates, June 30 and Sept. 8 for special observation. All sightings
will be correlated by the editors of the British magazine Fiying
Saucer Review, See letter by Derek Dempster, June 1956 Orbit.

Case 2160, Florence, Ky. Sept. 9, 1956—Jack juelg
and two witnesses, while parked in a drive-in theatre,
observed an “extremely bright light” following another
light, the latter of which was quickly identified as an
aircraft. Curious, the trio watched the strange light, and
to their surprise, when the aircraft circled, the light fol-
lowed—then with a burst of speed shot straight away
and disappeared. Soon another plane, easily identified,
aoe e into view—but, to the astonishment of everyone, it
was also being followed by the mysterious light! During
this incident, the plane continued on a straight course,
while the UFO, suddenly accelerating, cut off to the
right. Then making 8 circle, the unknown pur-
suer disappeared. Said Juelg, “The most unusual thing
I’ve ever seen.”

Case 207, Irvington, N.J, Sept. 3, 1956—Said the
Newark Star-Ledger: Thomas Gann, private pilot, and
Joseph Malenowski, both employees of RCA, reported
seeing two mysterious objects while driving. Said Gann,
“We saw a Piper cub at about 3000 feet altitude, coming
in for a landing. Then we noticed two shimmering discs,
hovering about 4000 feet higher than the plane. After a
moment, they both shot with incredible speed into

space.”!2

Case 208, Norwood, Ohio, Sept. 3, 1956—Eugene King-
man, flight radio operator in the Air Force during World
War II, was coming down a ladder outside his home.
Looking up he saw the sun and to his surprise, another
object, colored orange which was stationary. Shortly,
another object, bluish white came into view and passed
near the orange object. With Kingman were two other
observers, one a former skeptic of saucers. Together
they watched the skies, then suddenly three more ob-
jects appeared all bluish white. These were joined in a
triangular formation—the two in rear less intense in
luminosity than the leader and according to Kingman,
flew away from the motionless orange object, which was
larger than the others. After innumerable minutes a

stranger passed by and joined in watching the spectacle

and immediately pointed out two more luminous objects,
looking like spirming balls. Said Kingman, the oddest
feature about these two objects was the “streak of light-
ning” which seemed to connect them in their flight. The
large orange object remained in view for about 20 min-
utes, during which time, no sound was heard.
