. .... .... One of the most unusual s1ght1ngs related to the Two-State UFO

Study Group for Adults was an encounter in December, 1957 by a retired school teacher, Mrs. l~ary Starr of Old Saybrook, Conn., who reported a closeup sighting of a oigar-shaoed object, having lights, ~indows, and at least four passengers, nhich hovered near her home on this close encounter. Her story, though 'fantaaticT, seems to ring of truth.
