ADDENDUM #1:  Original e-mail from witness follows:)) 
DEAR MR.DAVENPORT,  
                                            I
AM WRITING YOU THIS  E..MAIL BECAUSE I THINK WHAT I SAW MAY BE OF SOME USE TO
YOU.  I READ, WITH SPECIAL INTERESTTHE NEWS OF THE UFO SIGHTING IN MILLSTADT, ILL....ONLY BECAUSE WHAT THEY SEEMED TO HAVE SEEN WAS SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT I SAW, OVER 30 YEARS AGO ,IN JOHNSTOWN, PA...IT WAS A SAT. EVENING , I WAS CLEANING UP AFTER A PARTY AT MY HOUSE ,WENT TO THE BACKYARD, AT ABOUT 2 AM TO SHAKE OUT A TABLE CLOTH, LOOKED UP IN THE SKY AND  SAW  A TRIANGULAR LIKE ARROWHEAD,WHAT I FIRST THOUGHT WERE STARS MOVING EVER SO
SLOWLY IN A HORIZONTAL DIRECTION..IT SEEMED TO BE ENORMOUSE. AFTER STARRING AT IT FOR A NUMBER OF MINUTES I DECIDED TO WAKE UP MY HUSBAND TO  LOOK AT IT,
TOO...BUT BY THE TIME I CONVINCED HIM TO TAKE A LOOK..IT WAS ALREADY GONE....IN THE MORNING I CALLED THE RADIO  STATION...THE POLICE....AND ANY ONE ELSE, AT THE TIME, I COULD THINK OF...THE RADIO STATION EVENTUALLY CAME UP WITH AN ANSWER ,AFTER INVESTIGATING....I GUESS I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT WITNESSED THIS SIGHTING...THEY CALLED IT SPACE JUNK...AND THE LIGHTS  I SAW WERE ONLY REFLECTIONS OF  THE JUNK.. GUESS IT SOUNDED LOGICAL AND IT IS SOMETHING, THAT EVEN TODAY , ONE DOESN`T   DISCUSS TO FREELY WITHOUT BEING LOOKED UPON  LIKE SOME KIND OF NUT.                     
I AM NOW LIVING IN CAL. AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST 28 YEARS...I AM 70 YEARS OLD BUT STILL OF SOUND MIND  AND STILL VERY MUCH EMPLOYED IN A VERY MATHEMATICAL
POSITION. I TELL YOU THIS  JUST SO YOU KNOW  , AT LEAST  IN THIS MATTER, I AM NOT A FRUITCAKE.  I 
SINCERELY,                ((name deleted))

Dear Ms. ((name deleted)),
Thank you very much for the message and excellent report!
Since the actual date of any UFO sighting is of particular interest and value in any report, is there any possibility you could remember the exact date of the incident?  For example, you mention that you were cleaning up after a party.  Would you have any record, e.g. diaries, receipts, cancelled checks
for party supplies, etc., that might help you "pin down" the exact date.
If you can, would you please take a few minutes to resubmit the report, but using the Online Report Form which is found on our website.  In that format, the report can be downloaded to our database without having to retype it, and we can post the report (anonymously) to our website for others to enjoy.
Again, thank you very much for having shared the information with our Center!  We receive many past reports which are reminiscent of yours.  It sounds to me as if you witnessed something very interesting on that evening!
Cordially,
Peter Davenport
