Background
On the night of April 9, 1991, residents of Burns, Oregon, described aerial lights with flames, hovering objects and something silent flying low over cars in Harney County. Burns Police Chief Aaron Richardson responded to a sighting at 9:15 p.m. above the Burns-Paiute Indian Reservation. Observing the object through a spotting scope, he could not determine its nature. Pauline Brymen, editor of the Burns Times-Herald, examined the light with a telescope and concluded it was a star. The Corvallis Gazette-Times reported the sightings on April 12, 1991. 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.
