Driving on a back road in rural Wayne county, we had been driving along a stretch of woodland when we entered some cleared farmland. As we passed this area, a harvested hay field; we saw 5 or 6 small craft sitting in the field at the back of the clearing near the woods. They were approximatly 500 or 600 feet from the road. About the size of a volkswagon bug with a red light at each corner of a triangle. As we passed thru the area they each rose from the field and flew over the field and the road behind us. I saw nothing else as I was busy getting the hell out of there. My friend and I told no-one at the time even though there had been articles in "The Daily Record", the local paper; discribing a much larger triagular craft being seen around the county. I've always wondered if the several smaller craft assembled into the larger one. Wayne county had several sightings of a large trianglar craft again in 1975. Many saw it, myself included. Many years later I read the book about the Hudson Valley sightings and it was identical to the craft I and another friend saw in 1975. The local paper covered both sightings very well, giving them front page exposure.
