Norwich, Connecticut: Spa staff see cigar-shaped object hover above Sheraton Motor Inn

At 4:25 p.m. Yvette Godfrey, assistant manager of a spa in the Barker Shopping Plaza off State Highway 82 near the Connecticut Turnpike in Norwich, Connecticut, saw a cigar-shaped object hovering at an angle directly above the Norwich Sheraton Motor Inn, about 30 feet above the Sheraton sign on the roof. Other women at the spa observed it too. It moved a little to the south, stopped again for a minute and then turned west into the clouds. The International UFO Reporter reported the sighting in January 1980 under the title "Connecticut Cigar". 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.
