Summary/Description: Mr. James Allen saw an orange ball coming through the air; it hit his chimney, knocked part of it in, and fell in his back yard. It was 8 ft long, 6 ft high. He walked to within 10 ft; the lights went out, and he saw a little man 30” high standing beside it. “When I asked if it was hurt, it went away in a whiff; then it made a loud noise, like air whistling, and was gone.”
