Saucer Shaped Craft with Multicolored Lights Directly Overhead - Newark, Delaware
Report: 1764
January 1, 1970
I was 16 years old living at home in Newark, Delaware. It was Friday night at 9 o'clock and I was just getting off work at Cochran Firestone. It was warm and with clear skies. I had walked out the front door and stopped just to look around as I usually do on Friday's. To the left of my sight I noticed something coming my way very slowly and quietly. It was just above the tree line and quite large. I was speechless as it made its way to be stopping directly above my head. It was a saucer shaped ship with lights of different colors around the edge. It was totally quite with no propellers or exhaust smoke. I knew that I was screaming for my boss John to hurry outside but my voice was not projected loud at all. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. It was directly above me no more than 100 feet. It looked to be made of a semi shiny metal and about the size of half of a football field or a bit smaller. It finally slowly moved away from me crossing the street and going over our family house and up to and over Iron Mountain before stopping. Then it took off on an angle at an unbelievable speed that I had ever seen until going out of my sight ?. I ran home and flew inside yelling and screaming out loud that I had just seen a flying saucer. As my family was looking at me like I had lost my mind my younger sister came down from upstairs yelling that she had seen it also.
