Background
At 7:00 a.m. Katie Sowell watched an object about 30–50 feet in diameter, like two upside-down saucers revolving counterclockwise, darting low over her farmhouse near Oak Grove, Louisiana. It had rectangular, opaque windows. She saw it at close range for 15–20 minutes before it banked and disappeared straight up. The Huntsville Times reported the sighting in February 1974. 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.
