UFO SEEN TWICE NEAR SPAULDING

By SANDRA L. LEE of the Tribune
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Joseph J.S. Feathers, who holds a doctorate in anthropology and operates
|
||
|
|
a 1,200-acre ranch near Spalding with his wife, saw what would commonly
|
||
|
|
be called an Unidentified Flying Object over his Spalding home Monday
|
||
|
|
night.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"I wasn't going to say anything about it. People always think you're in
|
||
|
|
the lunatic fringe," Feathers said Wednesday.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But then he read in the Lewiston Tribune that Sarah G. Kureger and
|
||
|
|
others had watched two unidentified multicolored objects in the sky for
|
||
|
|
three nights. The objects they saw were most active Monday night.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He was walking up the front steps at his home, Moon Rising Ranch across
|
||
|
|
the Clearwater River from Spalding Park, a few minutes after 8 Monday.
|
||
|
|
An "intense glob of bright orange-yellow light" appeared just east of
|
||
|
|
the house. It was perhaps 4,000 feet in the air and 200 feet high by 100
|
||
|
|
wide in an irregular shape, he said, pointing out that his estimates
|
||
|
|
were based on only a few seconds of visibility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It was shaped irregularly, and there was a large, dark object, perhaps
|
||
|
|
20 to 40 feet high, moving into it from the south.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The picture he drew from memory for the Tribune was of the traditional
|
||
|
|
saucer shape.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It was totally silent, Feathers said. The whole thing -- the bright
|
||
|
|
light and the dark shape -- moved out of sight behind the roof of his
|
||
|
|
A-frame home. By the time he got to the end of the deck, it had
|
||
|
|
vanished, he said.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The moon is waning, and it hadn't risen yet. And the moon is never as
|
||
|
|
bright as that light, he said. But he doesn't know what it could have
|
||
|
|
been.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"I've got no reason to lie," he said simply.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another person called the Lewiston Tribune Wednesday night to report
|
||
|
|
seeing a group of three UFOs last night in the sky over the Cherrylane
|
||
|
|
area, about 10 miles east of Spalding. That sighting also was a few
|
||
|
|
minutes after 8pm.
