Occurred: 1977-06-15 22:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2003-05-25 12:30 Pacific
Duration: 20 min
No of observers: 1

Location: Otis (Reservoir), MA, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object, Electrical or magnetic effects

60-80 ft in diameter, disc shaped, flat on top, red and green lights underneath.

I was 18 at the time of the sighting. I was staying alone at our summer home on Otis Reservoir.

I was watching TV when the reception was lost and I looked out the picure window and saw it. The disc was hovering over a small island directly across the cove from our cottage. It was as big as the island about 60 - 80 ft., it was saucer shaped, flat on top and red and green lights underneath.

I got on the phone to call for help, the call went through but the other party couldn't hear me above the static when I started to explain what I was looking at.

After a few minutes it came directly over the house very slowly, and within a minute or so the TV reception came back.

The following morning I heard on the radio that six were seen that night and it was on the front page of the local Winsted, CT, newspaper.
