Background

At 6:55 p.m. an airline sales representative driving near Methuen, Massachusetts, slowed his car when he saw an object hovering silently just over the road. It had a bright green frame extending from a rectangular display of very bright lights on its body. Closer in he could see a flashing red light. He carefully drove underneath it and saw people in other cars looking at it. NICAP's UFO Investigator reported the case as a V-shaped craft hovering over a car. 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.
