Poquoson, Virginia: NASA engineer watches zigzagging object land on shore and take off

At 6:00 p.m. NASA research engineer A. G. Crimmins Jr. observed an object at Plum Tree Island Wildlife Refuge near Poquoson, about 75 feet across and 10–15 feet high, with 3–7 red and orange lights; it appeared to rotate. It moved about a quarter mile west on a zigzag course and then appeared to land on the ocean shore, where it remained still for about 5 minutes before taking off to the north and turning right to depart east at high speed. Crimmins watched it through 20x binoculars. The same object was apparently seen by retired USAF Maj. John R. Nayadley, another NASA research engineer, who observed a V-shaped object with blinking red-orange lights over Hampton, Virginia. Eberhart cites NICAP, Virginia newspapers of January 28, 1965, and NICAP's UFO Investigator (1965). 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.
