On April 1st, police were called to the scene about 8 p.m. to the 900 block Laurel Street. They were told that an orange disc "no more than about three feet in diameter" had hovered for about three minutes at a height of some 60 feet above the ground. The apparent sighting occurred in the rear of a home owned by Dr. J.S. Kennedy. His 14-year-old son Blaine told police the object ejected an orange flame, travelled up at a high speed then hovered at about 200 feet before speeding away. The object was first seen by Terry Bradley, age 12. Deputy police chief Peter Mehan commented that no other local sighting has been as well documented by witnesses.
