Background
At 8:45 p.m., two 14-year-old girls in the northern part of Belmont, North Carolina, saw a round gray object about 20–30 feet in diameter standing "on edge." It hovered several hundred feet in the air for five minutes and then moved east over the trees. It emitted a beeping noise and was covered in flashing white lights and steady red lights. On 10 November more than 100 people reported seeing UFOs in nearby Gastonia, according to the Gastonia Gazette. 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.
