Two sheriff deputies followed a bright circular object for approximately 50 minutes over an 85-mile distance from Atwater, Ohio to near Freedom, Pennsylvania on April 17, 1966.
“Deputies Dale Spaur and W. L. Neff were investigating a routine traffic accident at 5 a.m. when they were alerted by radio to an unidentified object heading their way. Spaur, an Air Force gunner during the Korean War, said the circular object "about 30 to 45 feet in diameter traveled at speeds from 80 to 100 miles an hour."”
