as returning to the house from his garage when
the sighting occured. The sky was clear and the moon full.

As he turned up the walk, hw was suddenly aware that the moon
was obscured. Turning around he states that he saw a Disc
Shaped Craft about 300 feet in diameter at an altitude of about
300 feet. The object was traveling almost due north at approx
50 MPH. He described the disc as being surrounded by orange
lights. His guess being between 200 and 250 of them. The
lights were stationary. As the UFO moved away, he noticed a

- blue light coming on at the bottom and the center of the UFO.
_ As this a the orange lights around the circumfrance

dimmed. Mr stated that the light at first had the
appearance of g ultra-violet then got brighter until it
was bright blue. The blue light lasted for about three seconds
then went out along with the orange lights. At this same time
he experienced what he said was a "shock wave." He felt a
force which almost knocked him down and noticed the leaves on
the trees rustling. There was no natural wind at the time.

He then ran into the house and phoned the Air Force. About

20 minutes later he experienced severe burning of his eyes
and hazy vision. Gradually he lost sight in both eyes. When
he was contacted by the Inspecting Officer once again at 175
hours he had no vision in his right eye and hazy vision in‘his
left cye. He said that the whites of his eyes had turned red.
He also stated that his entire body feld "Sunburned" although
he h natural tan. The Doctor examining him said that
le suppering from an "Arc Welging" type burn.
This would indicate the presence of ultra-violet rays. He
said he has not done any welding in many months. The entire
Sighting took place in about 20 seconds and at the time the
blue light came on, the UFO was about one half mile away.
There was no sound emitted by the UFO.
