Background
At 9:30 p.m. Gertrude Purdue and other residents of Summerdale, Pennsylvania, saw a bright orange-red sphere hovering at treetop level. It moved slowly with an up-and-down motion only 30 to 40 feet above the rooftops. The orange-red light then went out and three or four blinking lights appeared. The object moved away with a high-pitched whine, leaving a small vapor trail. 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.
