Background
On April 8, 1950, Paul Limerick, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Shelby, North Carolina, watched a round, aluminum-colored object together with four other people for two minutes. The object followed a horizontal course toward the southwest without making a sound. It then shot straight up and disappeared. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
