- Police officers Joseph Lukasek and Clifford Schau and fireman Daniel De Giovanni on patrol noticed unexplained dimming of their spotlight and headlights, saw a setting-sun-like orange globe down the street to the W, with various maneuvers as they pursued it over 1-1/2 miles and U-turns, passing over their car. Noiseless, changed to cigar shape at one point. Disappeared high up like a black shade pulled up from the bottom. Independent witness Helmut Reuter saw the red-orange cigar-shaped object to the W at 3:15 a.m.
