Springdale, Ohio: Four witnesses see six darting lights, then a swarm of red objects
At 3:30 p.m. on October 9, 1956, Mrs. James Petrey and three other witnesses in Springdale, Ohio, watched six pinpoints of light darting up, down and sideways at great speed; later a large number of red objects, swarming like birds, flew in from the east.
Background
At 3:30 p.m. Mrs. James Petrey and three other witnesses in Springdale, Ohio, watched six pinpoints of light moving up and down and side to side at great speed. A silverish streak seemed to connect three of the objects. Later a large number of red objects, swarming like birds, flew in from the east on a straight horizontal path, “flopping over and over,” and then disappeared behind some trees. The case was published as Case 231 in Leonard Stringfield's CRIFO Orbit on November 2, 1956. 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.
