Background

At 11:00 p.m. a senior sales representative of an airline was sitting with his sister on the balcony of his suite at the Holiday Inn in Key West, Florida. They watched a silent object fly past them from the west five separate times, at 10-minute intervals, at different altitudes and in different directions; they thought it was the same object each time, flying level and straight. Three times it passed directly overhead and disappeared behind the hotel. From the front it looked wing-shaped, but overhead they saw it was boomerang-shaped, with the leading edge apparently lit from within by a soft-blue light. Eberhart cites the APRO Bulletin of July 1975. 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.
