Two coon hunters who were so unbelieving about what they saw in the sky near here that they kept quiet about it late Thursday afternoon, were still wondering if they had seen some type of "flying saucer."
They were Doug Hamilton of the Farm Bureau here, and Charles Ort of south Defiance.
They were hunting about 9 P.M. at the Leroy Kunesh farm in South Richland twp when the object appeared so bright "the tree branches were illuminated."
The bright object seemed motionless above the low-hanging clouds for about five minutes, they reported to friends.
Then it moved away to the east. slow at first and then picked up speed.
The object was reported to have seemed to rotate and somewhat resembled an immense one bladed propeller.
The men said it seemed to have a radius of about 30 feet.
The observers of this spectacle said they had no way to determine how high in the sky it may have been. It was pretty high though.
They were first attracted by the light shining against the wet tree tops. This caused them to turn their gaze skyward and both say they saw the object.
