SUBJECT: UFO INFO Service Reports FILE: UFO1113 PART 30 Report #: 174 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 10-16-1986 Subject: LIMA, OH. CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 10 JUNE 1986 TIME: 0430 HOURS DURATION: 10 - 15: SECONDS WITNESSES: ONE SOURCE: NEWS, LIMA, OH ----------------------------------------- An offical of the Center for UFO Studies is seeking information from anyone who might have seen a phenomenon similar to one reported by a Lima man. Arley Taylor said he was making deliveries to Scot Lad Foods Inc., 1100 Prosperity Road, at 4:30 a.m. today when he saw an orange light in the sky, "that was the size of a grapefruit and darted about like a hummingbird for about 10 to 15 seconds, then disappeared." Taylor, 55, of 1030 Cornell Drive, reported the sighting to Lima's John Timmerman, vice president of the Center for UFO Studies in Glenview, Ill. Taylor said he studied the sky as he continued on his delivery route, but didn't see the object again. Taylor works for Service American Corp., 1251 N. Cole St. The light was in the northwest, apparently some 200 feet above the ground, and could be seen against the overcast sky, said Taylor. Timmerman asked that anyone who might have seen a similar phenomenon today contact him in writing at P.O. Box 1621, Lima. ---------------------------------------- Report #: 175 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 10-16-1986 Subject: WIKIEUP, AZ CASE TYPE: LRS - DS DATE: 10 JULY 1986 TIME: EARLY MORNING DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: MANY SOURCE: ARIZONA REPUBLIC, PHOENIX, AZ ----------------------------------------- WIKIEUP - The Arizona Department of Public Safety said the people were sober and on their way to, not from, Las Vegas. The motorists reported an an other- worldly light on the western horizon followed their car as they traveled toward Las Vegas shortly before dawn Thursday. However, an expert on heavenly bodies said later Thursday that the light probably was nothing more than the planet Mars. A member of a group that compiles reports of UFO sightings does not agree. At this point, officers of the DPS don't really care what it was. They are tired of all the hoopla. A motorist, who DPS spokesman Alan Schmidt said wants to remain anonymous, told an officer that she, another adult and her two sons were driving to Las Vegas, Nev., on U.S. 93 early Thursday when she and her sons spotted a strange orange light that hovered above the western horizon and appeared to follow the car as it traveled north. The object was said to "pulsate like a star" and was described as appearing "about twice as bright and twice as big as a star." Patrolman Veronica Minch, Schmidt said, had spotted the object earlier. "She thought little of it and went on about her business," Schmidt said. "Meanwhile, down the road, these people see it." The DPS phoned Nellis Air Force Base, near Las Vegas, "to see if any rockets or balloons had been launched," Schmidt said. "They said they had no activity like that." ---------------------------------------- Report #: 176 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 10-16-1986 Subject: BON HARBOR HILLS, KY CASE TYPE: LRS - NL DATE: 17 JUNE 1986 TIME: 2300 HOURS DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: FIVE SOURCE: MESSENGER-INQUIRER, OWENSBORO, KY -------------------------------------- On the night of June 17, Karl Brown, Marty Patterson, Joey and Robbie Butler and Terry Guggisberg were in Bon Harbor Hills about 11 p.m. when two single lights similar to stars appeared in the west. The lights attracted their attention because of the slow movement eastward, which they first thought might be airplanes. But the lights moved toward Rockport, Ind. and disappeared without a sound, and there were no flashing lights or colored wing lights that appear on planes at night. About 15 minutes later another pair of lights appeared in the northwest and traveled eastward. These lights seemed to pause occasionally. -------------------------------------- ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
