Background

An amateur astronomer in Fort Worth, Texas, watched an unidentified object through several different telescopes. It had a recessed ring with small dark objects attached around its edge and a dark cross on its underside. The object moved from directly beneath the Moon past the star Arcturus and then suddenly disappeared. Michael D. Swords cites the case in the International UFO Reporter. 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.
