then hung stationary. After a while the
object moved again and disappeared."
"All told we watched it for about 20
minutes. Then, just as dawn was
breaking and we were prepared to pack
up, it appeared again roughly in the
same area. It could be clearly seen
against the gradually lightening sky.
"Again the object moved away and
seemed to go higher in the sky until it
finally vanished."
Hayward said there was a high wind
blowing at the time,, but no rain or clouds
were visible.
