Flashing UFO Seen >>
Three Hours =

Mrs. Irene Page of Brimfield, Mass. re-
ported to police on 29 October that from

midnight until 3 p-iithatmortiing she
had observed a sparkling ball of light

which intermittently scouted her prop- |

erty. A check with State police showed

no other UFO reports in that area that |
_ night.

Mrs. Page said she was checking win-
dows and doors preparatory to retiring
when light streamed through a window.
She turned off the lights and watched
the ball-shaped thing come over the yard
and light up the entire property. She
said that during the three hours the ob-
ject would seem to “waver off,” flying
up and down like a bird. It would re-
turn periodically but finally disappeared
in the distant sky at about 3 a. m.

She said she was frightened because
she was alone in the house with her four
children and the nearest neighbor was
some distance away. She was unable to
contact police during the time the ob-
ject was there because she had no phone.

Mrs, Page further stated that she was |

watching a late show when the light came
and that the TV faded and returned and

the house lights blinked. A nearby |
neighbor, Mrs. Helen Chevalier, said later
