Background
At 5:00 p.m., Mrs. John P. Vanicky and Norine Gribble were driving from Marquette, Michigan, to Hurley, Wisconsin, when they saw a brown cigar-shaped object spouting fire from its rear and moving southeast. They stopped the car and watched it for 20 minutes until it disappeared. Mrs. Vanicky described the sighting in the Duluth News-Tribune of 19 October 1961, and the APRO Bulletin reported it in November 1961. 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.
