The whole rectangular side appeared dimly lit, or, if not, then
luminous. In the center and in an upward direction to the right was a half-
moon shape very brilliantly lighted. om this area there protruded in all
direetions in an uneven arrangement spike-like arms of varied lengths, the
tip of each bearing a tiny, equally brilliant light. At the top peak of the
half-moon to the right the lighting sembled a ainbow, all other
lights being colorless.
I did not watch it continuously but at 12:05 A. M. I noticed that
the rectangular outline no longer was visible, nor the tiny lights, but the

There were several cars passing during this period and I felt sure

schedule the following day, I decided against disturbing my nearest neigh-
bors who had retired.

years seeks reassurance i in your statement in the April lst issue of LIFE

explanation"; secondly, I do not want any publicity. However, if a hundred
years from now this report helps to fill a gap, I shall consider my effort
worthwhile.
