Gatchellville, Pennsylvania: Eleven witnesses see red fireball alight, grass burns

At 7:30 p.m. eleven witnesses in six groups, including Thelma Lowe, Harold Wilson, Sara Green, Mrs. Everett Miller, Mrs. W. E. Runge II and Robert Smyth, watched a red ball of fire the size of the full moon drift over their houses and alight on the ground south of Gatchellville, Pennsylvania. It left a large patch of burning grass, 100 feet long by 30 feet wide, on the property of Robert L. Brown in nearby Fawn Grove. Within it was a mysteriously unscathed area delineated by three holes at the vertices. 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.
