At about 9:30 Friday night, the 10th of May, a
bright pulsing white light was seen in the sky
by Mrs. W. Chamberlain, her husband and daughter
and some other people in the area. Mrs.
Chamberlain said that the object was at an
altitude about 5,000 feet and flying at the
speed of a propeller-driven plane. It flew in an
easterly direction and made no noise. As the
light crossed the sky it changed to red, became
increasingly bright and “seemed to
disintegrate”. As it disintegrated, what looked
like pieces of molten metal fell to the ground.
No pieces have been reported found. The entire
incident took about 10 minutes. Mrs. Chamberlain
said that the light was much brighter than any
of the stars. There was no cloud cover and the
wind was light in variable directions.
Authorities report that there were no planes in
the area at this time.
