Opa-locka, Florida: About 200 schoolchildren and teachers see oval object over trees

At 10:00 a.m. on April 7, 1967, some 200 children at morning recess at Crestview Elementary School in Opa-locka, Florida, saw an oval-shaped object hovering above trees to the north of the school. It seemed to move toward the school and then drop below a pine tree. Some children noticed an antenna-like structure, while others thought there were two objects. Teachers Virginia Martin, Marian Waters and Robert Apfal also saw it; Apfal had his students sketch what they had seen, and the drawings show a turreted structure in the treetops. The Air Force stated that a helicopter had been in the area practicing takeoffs and landings. 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.
