Newport, Rhode Island: Red sphere bobbing on the waves rises and flies out to sea
Around 4:00 p.m. on 29 April 1961, contractor John P. Gallagher, working near Bailey's Beach in Newport, Rhode Island, saw a red spherical object bobbing on the waves about 600 feet offshore rise into the air and fly out to sea.
Background
Around 4:00 p.m., contractor John P. Gallagher was working at a home next to Bailey's Beach in Newport, Rhode Island. He saw a red spherical object bobbing on the ocean waves about 600 feet from the shore. Suddenly the object rose about 60 feet into the air and moved out to sea at about 100 mph. The APRO Bulletin reported the sighting in July 1961, and Richard Dolan lists it among unidentified submerged object cases. 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.
