Occurred : 8/15/1967 21:30 (Entered as : 08/00/ 67 21:30) Reported: 2/4/2017 3:24:53 AM 03:24 Posted: 2/10/2017 Location: Ellsworth, ME Shape: Teardrop Duration: 5 minutes Characteristics: There was an aura or haze around the object
Tear-drop shaped silent craft with sectional front end. At or around at 9:30 EST. in late summer of 1967 our small group of kids (4) age 6 to 12 years of age were running around a point at the end of a lane that touched the edge of the union river before it spilled into a lake that bordered our neighborhood, witnessed a silent tear dropped shaped craft about 20 ft. in length and 10 to 12 ft. in diameter with no running lights but had a slight luminescence to it and had a sectional front window. We were all scared stiff as it glided slowly past us about 30 ft. off the surface of the river with a solid line of fir trees in the background the whole incidence lasted approximately 5 minutes. I’ll never forget this, as it wasn’t the only time we saw things in the night sky that year. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD))
