WHITE SPHERE STOPS OVER HOUSE

AT ABOUT AND HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE FIRST LIGHT ON THE 20TH OF AUGUST OF 1967, I WAS STANDING ON THE BEACH ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ISLAND OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD MASSACHUSETTS, WHEN I NOTICED A WHITE LIGHT APPROACHING OVER THE WATER FROM THE SOUTH. IT PASSED WITHIN 100 YARDS TO THE EAST OF MY POSITION. I TURNED AND WATCHED IT CROSS THE BEACH, OVER THE DUNES, AND TOWARD A SMALL HOUSE ABOUT 150 YARDS INLAND. IT WAS A SPHERICAL OBJECT ABOUT 5 FEET IN DIAMETER, GLOWING SOFT WHITE, NO OTHER COLORS, NO FLASHING, AND WITHOUT ANY SOUND.
IT STOPPED OVER THE HOUSE FOR 20-30 SECONDS BEFORE RESUMING FLIGHT. WHEN IT CONTINUED ON ITS WAY, IT CHANGED COURSE ABOUT 45 DEGREES TO THE NORTHEAST. IT APPEARED TO FLY AT A CONSTANT ALTITUDE (35-40 FEET) THROUGHOUT THE SIGHTING, WHICH LASTED ABOUT 1-1/2 MINUTES, I ESTIMATE ITS SPEED TO BE ABOUT 30-35 MPH. I WATCHED UNTIL IT WAS OUT OF VIEW.
SECOND WITNESS IS UNAVAILABLE.
Date may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact.  PD
