LUDLOW
7/16/1959
At about 8:00pm while on the back porch of the third floor apartment(of a triple decker) after dinner ,while smoking a Winston cigarette,at about 6:00pm. I saw a flashing yellow light,very low approaching my building and this caught my attention. It was unusual to see aircraft flying in this direction. This was on Cambridge St behind a gas station and when looking from the back porch aircraft traveled from left to right to go to the Worcester airport. This was flying in the direction straight at the bulding and it took 2 to 3 minutes to get to the building. It was very low about 110-150ft from the ground. It was silver and had no markings, no letters, no wings. It did have a cockpit with a raised canopy about midway on top and it had a tail like rear section with no small tail wing. It did not make any noise like a normal aircraft. As it passed it sounded like air rushing by (a whooshing sound). It was fairly small about the size of a Cadillac. I called my friend and he opened the door and went on the front porch and watched this thing for about 10-15 seconds as it climbed away increasing its altitude. By this time it was a dark shape with a yellow flashing light on top disappearing into the distance. The next day the Worcester Telegraph and Gazette which is still in business ran a story of a strange craft which was sighted in Long Island, NY the previous evening.(Source NUFORC.org)
