Occurred : 10/20/1975 03:15 (Entered as : 10/20/1975 03:15) Reported: 2/8/2004 9:22:43 AM 09:22 Posted: 2/12/2004 Location: Watkins Glen, NY Shape: Duration: 10 minutes
Large wheel of no substance flickering and copying itself. Hope this is not too obsolete. We did not see a UFO but rather a UPO (unidentified parked object). We were staying at the Fawn Motel located on NY route ll on the west side of Lake Seneca , one of the finger lakes. Through the transclucent window we saw a large wheel avout 8 to 10 feet high. Light chartreuse in color. Thick rim with four thick spokes centering on a large hub. As we watched it flickered continually and when it did so it replicated it self totally to the right with the strongest duplication in the 6:oo to 9:oo sector. Went out next morning a saw nothing. ((NUFORC Note: We presume the witness already has ruled out a ferris wheel, or some other pedestrian cause of the sighting. PD))
