Initial data
At least eight witnesses observed a large oval-shaped object with a dome hovering over the city.
Witnesses reported that sometimes the object seemed to hover at a height of two hundred feet (60.9 m) from the ground. One witness said that an object resembling a large amber meteor flew across the evening sky, then suddenly fell straight down and hovered over telephone wires at an altitude of 200 to 400 feet (60.9-124.8 m).
The witness described the object as a metallic silver-gray color, elliptical in shape, similar to two " saucers attached to the rim."
According to the witness, a wide band of bright amber light surrounded the middle. Everything spun like a child's top. After flying for about seven seconds, the object with great speed rushed to the southwest.
As the object began to recede, there was a hum like the hum of an electric generator. Some witnesses reported three different colored bands surrounding the object and two antennas coming out of the dome.
These same witnesses also reportedly saw a rectangular door at the bottom.

At least eight witnesses observed a large oval-shaped object with a dome on top hovering over the town. Witnesses reported that at times the object appeared to hover as low as two hundred feet from the ground. One witness said an object resembling a large amber-colored meteor sped through the evening sky then suddenly dropped straight down and hovered above telephone wires at 200 to 400 feet. The witness described the object as metallic silvery gray in color, elliptical in shape like two “saucers fastened rim to rim.” A wide band of brilliant amber light encircled the middle, said the witness. The entire thing spun like a child’s top. After hovering for about seven seconds, the object sped towards the southwest at terrific speed. As the object started to move away a hum like an electric generator could be heard. Some witnesses reported three distinct bands of color encircling the object and two antennae angling out from the dome. These same witnesses also reportedly observed a rectangular door on the bottom.
