COLOR: When first sighted, the object seemed to be a round yellowish light with eight blue lights near the outside rim and five much larger red lights located in the center. The blue lights were compared by the observer to the color and brightness of 300-watt blue incandescent bulbs. The big red lights appeared to flicker on and off. SOUND: Loud and pulsating, somewhat like the engines of a jet airplane flying just off the deck, or quite close to the ground; however, no exhaust-trail was seen. TACTICS: First, observer heard a loud pulsating noise, then the big group of lights appeared in the sky before him ascending on a straight vertical trajectory. COMMENT: The sky was absolutely clear and dark, yet neither contrail nor exhaust trail was visible. Observer feels that he was looking at the underside of propulsion area, of the object. His wife and mother heard the loud noise, but were on the wrong side of the house to see the object through a window. His last impression of the UFO as it rose "higher and higher" was that "it looked like a star." TYPE OF OBSERVER: Farmer's son, who worked in a paper mill: a young man in his late 20s. NUMBER OF OBJECTS: One. SHAPE: Circular but fuzzy. DIMENSIONS: Very large. ALTITUDE: From ground-level straight up until the object disappeared. SPEED: "Terrific," according to the observer.
