Background
At 12:31 a.m. a policeman in Williamston, North Carolina, watched a round light the size of the full Moon at 60° elevation in the northwest. The light moved quickly toward the south, then hovered for 10–15 seconds before changing course. A windstorm was in progress, and the object was beneath the clouds. Another officer 3 miles away also watched the object for 10–20 seconds before it disappeared. 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.
