it pointed down and darted toward me, stopring almos trect!y overhead, so that I
had to look up to see it. hen it started to move toward me, I be moving up the
driveway to get back to my house, but when it stopped above me, I stopped also to
lo'k. As I looked, I could see a vertical shape of some kind in the transparent
structure ahove the ligtht, and at that peint became frightened
to hurry to the house with me.
At ahout that same time a mumber of students came rushing out of the west wing
of the dormitory and stood in the doorway, watching the object. Seeing them, I
began crossing the lawn toward them. They were talking among themselves, very

the night watchman. He had not seen the object, because he had been trying to
restore order and quiet in the dorm. le asked me whether it could have been
helicopter, and I said no, for there had been no noise. I asked him how the boys
had become avare of it, and he said all he knew was that someone had shouted out,

rushing of some of the boys in the west wing to the front door, where they had stood
and atched. As we were talking, I suddenly saw the object, easily recognizable
because of the brilliant brange ligdht, flying high and far out over the occan.

It appeared to me to be shaped something like a I blender, wider at the top and blender, wider at the top a and
tapering to the bot tom. It did not look like a saucer or a dome. Whatever it was
that I saw inside it could have been a person, and there was a distance of at least two
or three feet between the top of it and the top of the lighted area. There was
"lenty of space around it, as there would be in the case of a person in a room.
