A rubbish collector crew head reported observing an object hovering over a motel with a steel-like shell and hot-dog shape with a bright light on April 17, 1966.
“Three rubbish collectors said they saw the object hover over a motel along the St. Joseph River. The head of the crew, Joseph Franklin, said it was about 15 stories in the air, had steel-like shell and looked something like a hot-dog in the shape. He said it had a bright light so he couldn't look directly at it.”
