SHAPE: "Like a very huge pie and was very well lighted with red, blue and white lights spinning completely around at," according to the observer's own description. DIMENSIONS: The UFO first appeared to be about the size of a small, light airplane and then seemed larger as it descended lower. SPEED: Hovered over the car, pacing it at the same speed for about a half-mile "and then disappeared at a very high speed," in the observer's words. TACTICS: Appeared in the southwest and descended from above some store buildings until it was just over the patrolman's car, which had stopped for a traffic light (also see SPEED). County Sheriff's Department for information about the nature of this strange craft, but while it hovered above his car he was unable to use the police radio. Three days later, on March 20th, the observer again saw a strange UFO. He describes it thus: "A similar object came so close to my car and glowed so brightly that I had to stop the car and get out of it before I could see again." He adds that: "Our police department (has) been called at different times about highflying lights, but those I am in doubt about. ... The ones I have seen are very much different and are not stars or planets, flying at such low altitudes ... Please believe me, this is something far beyond flying stars or planets and swamp gas, even though the gas may be responsible for some of the sightings." Note: This sighting occurred during the same general period as the sightings at Dexter and Hillsdale, Michigan, near Ann Arbor, where many persons reported seeing strange colored lights flying through a swamp area. The lights were scientifically established to be the result of a spontaneous ignition of marsh gas in contact with the air.
