At night, when several other UFOs were observed nearby, Mrs. Edith Boatwright was lying in her bed when she saw a flashing light.

Getting out of bed, she looked out the window and saw a strange ship hovering over the power lines. It had several lighted portholes, and Edith thought she could see people or "objects" inside.

It made a small whistling sound. It had an umbrella-like protrusion on top. The witness was adamant that it wasn't a helicopter.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Airplane / Helicopter

An aircraft heavier than air for flights in the atmosphere (and outer space (e.g. An orbital aircraft)), using the aerodynamic lift of a glider to keep itself in the air (when flying within the atmosphere) and the thrust of a power (propulsion) installation for maneuvering and compensating for the loss of total mechanical energy to drag.

A rotorcraft in which the lift and thrust required for flight are created by one or more main rotors powered by an engine or several engines. They differ in maneuverability, the ability to hover and almost vertical takeoff.
