1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
The Farron Sighting started at 11.30 p.m. Monday night, April 18, 1966.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Afterly, the story began about a week before.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
A number of residents of Farron, a small New England town about 20 miles south of Boston,

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
reported seeing a little red light in the sky.

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Among those who saw them was George May.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
But a week before it started, they set the little red lights for us and all of the way in.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
They were like carrying bags full of seals, you know, how high up.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Four, right?

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
About the height of an old sign, maybe?

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Yeah, they're in there.

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
But they all took around the seals, four signs flying back and forth.

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
They were going all the way over to New England.

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
It's cold, it's cold, it's all the time.

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Could you hear anything?

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
No, it's from here.

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
And they're like, they were blind?

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
No, I don't know, I don't know.

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
So no motors, no nothing.

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
The police are stopping them to go out and get away.

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
The little red lights that George May saw in the sky were hardly very spotless.

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
In fact, most UFO reports consist of very little more than just that kind of fuzzy story.

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
May and Garaz Mechanic were curious but little more.

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
He did not call the police, he did not contact any authorities.

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
He did talk about the lights to his father.

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
He said that if he saw them again, he could call someone to find out what they were.

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
George May and his wife, Leen, forgot about the lights for another week.

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Forgot about them until 1130 on the night of April 18th when the little red lights reappeared.

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Then seemed to disappear from the sky only to reappear in an open field right in front of their home.

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
We didn't have the car, we came out from the store.

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
So the husband and I were just coming in the house.

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000
When we saw over that two or four little red objects flying all over the sky.

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
We got them with planes, but they were walking in the midst of the open forest and up and down.

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
We came in the house and got our system and we went out and we were watching them.

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Then we decided we should call the police a couple of times to see if they knew what they were.

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So they came up, we were watching them for a while, and then they were about to go to the house.

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So it was about 12 o'clock.

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Then we went over the trees of the field.

38
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
We got this, it was like a star.

39
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
It was here for a long time and then all of a sudden it just glowed up.

40
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Like somebody had lit it on fire.

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
It was just, you know, that very bright.

42
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
It looked like a welding grill.

43
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
It was a heavy light.

44
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
It was just that flash.

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Then we came very across the field and we could see the red light.

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
I think the rising light was pretty long ago when I went through this little light.

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Just gliding right over the field.

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
It was hovering or wavering like a leaf or moving straight.

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
It was kind of wavering.

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
It was just me up a long time over the field.

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
And then it just couldn't go over.

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
There was no noise. It just glided.

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
No noise at all.

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
No noise at all.

55
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
What did it look like?

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
It was just light.

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
You could see the house with the stop.

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
It was just a light.

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
It seemed to have informed and he substance to it that it just seemed to be light.

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
When you could see the light, then you could see the red.

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
But a red light on this side and then there was a 12-underneath.

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
But I mean, it seemed to have a different state.

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
You know, it felt like a sideways angle.

64
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
This is made called the Sharon Police, when they entered about 1135.

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
One of the officers who responded was Sharon Police Sergeant Bernard Coyne.

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
I was working on the night shift, which would be 12 days.

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
I arrived at the station.

68
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
The two men working the 4-12 ship had responded to the call already.

69
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
The first and the 12-of-a-half, the officers now responded to the same area.

70
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Some of them hollering.

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
What had you been told before then?

72
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
They had stated the same god decently, sorry, earlier than they knew.

73
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
What did you think it was when you started heading out there?

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Well, we went up to Marlott to hear what he made.

75
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
We had no belief that we had never seen these things.

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
I've done very little reading on it.

77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I think they did agree to be more like a hoax.

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
As I said, we went to the funeral more than anything.

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,000
When we arrived there, Sergeant Dunnerman and Officer Tester, Mr. and Mrs. Mays and Mays sister,

80
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
were watching the object dropping a great system.

81
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000
They were clear to be rotating at like a red, white and green that were rotating steadily.

82
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,000
We walked these about 10 or 15 minutes from Sergeant Dunnerman and then I just left the rest and left the fire list there.

83
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
I was sitting in the car smoking this chili and then the men say,

84
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
get out of the car and the fire list is standing just outside of the car.

85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Mrs. Mays yelled, the story there is a hair comes with to these effects.

86
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,000
We all went in an easterly direction and he did it like a tin-point in a very bright light.

87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
It was clear to be a falling star, but often a great distance.

88
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:02,000
It kept in keeping in size and then I'd say three to four or three to five seconds that he seemed appeared.

89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Maybe 100 yards to 200 yards away from us right over the tree line, completely stationary in the air.

90
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
It's heavy there for at least a few minutes.

91
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
At this time an airplane crashed over, heavy than a gnarly direction.

92
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:24,000
This object's heavy there and as it turns past over, this object then leaves its own movement.

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,000
This thing right away with the crash of the airplane, it had continued on the crash was going.

94
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:36,000
As the thing hovered there, it appeared as a big ball of white light, maybe the size of a small aircraft.

95
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
But a prong of light that you're looking at with three lights,

96
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
and either prongs or half of three lights is what it appears to be.

97
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
No particular state to it.

98
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:51,000
So this thing had moved away and out of sight, this thing was doing movement across the PLA to the front of it.

99
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
How close do you think it got to?

100
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
I'd say within 100 yards, less than 100 yards.

101
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
How high up wasn't it?

102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Less than 500 feet I'd say.

103
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Can you see it in comparison to the trees in the cross with the trees?

104
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Yes, it appeared to be maybe 300 feet above these tree lines.

105
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000
The moving phenomena just took shape and there was a red light in front, a red light to the rear of the object.

106
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
So it appeared to be a long, simple glass, it appeared to be a window,

107
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,000
and it was to the curvature of the glass indicating the object was an oval shaped crash of some type.

108
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:35,000
It appeared to be inside light and I concentrated on trying to see if it was a crash or whatever it was.

109
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:41,000
I was glad that I didn't see inside of it, but I think no movement swept the weather inside of it.

110
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000
It seemed to be a long skinny object, something like a cigar or a flat like a plate.

111
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
No more egg shaped, I'd say.

112
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Did you get the impression that it was just light or did it seem to have substance to it?

113
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:03,000
I think of substance to it that seemed to be a dark way outside, below and above the windows I'd say,

114
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
but I think actually I mainly concentrated on trying to see inside of the crash

115
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
because I thought it was going to be something extra-admitted.

116
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
What about the other people? What was everybody else doing at this time?

117
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000
All in all, I'd say we watched the center from three to five minutes and nobody said a word

118
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
under them, Mrs. Mayor, and she said the chair comes and there it is.

119
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Nobody said a word until its object had left before we resumed talking again.

120
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
And then I can say we're all really excited when I think of it, what the devil it was.

121
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Sergeant Coffee's report is of prime interest.

122
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,000
For one, he saw planes all by during the period of the fight and was easily able to tell the difference between the plane and the USO.

123
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
His description of the USO is egg shaped, coincides with Mrs. Mayor's description,

124
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,000
and Coffee was able to add in details of this oval object, a dark metallic roof and top and bottom,

125
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
a strip of white light which he believes to be windows across the middle, and red light that he's aimed.

126
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:07,000
You might keep that description in mind. It reoccurs with amazing regularity in the best of the documented USO report.

127
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Sergeant Coffee's partner, the Truman Frederick Jones, offered an identical description that night.

128
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000
The people gathered on the edge of the field were the two policemen, Mr. and Mrs. May, and May's sister, Mrs. Cheryl Rendell.

129
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000
I was in the house and then my brother and his wife came in asking to come out and watch the red things,

130
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
and they were kind of skeptical about calling the police.

131
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
They said, well, I don't think they're crazy or something, right?

132
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
And I said, well, I'll find a good one. They're being out and watched it.

133
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
And they were just about to leave, and then we saw it.

134
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
It seemed to be a fire, man. It seemed to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

135
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000
It seemed all of a sudden, it looked like it was going.

136
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
The next thing that was so bright, it almost couldn't even look at it.

137
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:57,000
I can barely remember its light. I remember three lights, and then two were red. I don't remember the other one.

138
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Then how did it leave, finally?

139
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000
It just cried as it passed the field, and that was the end.

140
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:11,000
The last the group saw of the USO, it was heading southwest, about 500 feet up. Again, Sergeant Coffee.

141
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
They'd have about, say, a two or three minutes over the treeline.

142
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
And then when the airplane went over, this thing was done last.

143
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And it seemed to slow the class of field.

144
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:28,000
It seemed to be in a great speed, and they just smothered across again, maybe 100 miles an hour.

145
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
It didn't have any wobbly motion in the state course.

146
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
There was no wobbly motion around.

147
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
It just moved across the field over the treeline, and they southwesterly directed them.

148
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Then I believe later that night, there was a fighting in Nashville just a momentarily.

149
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
It was a fighting, I believe.

150
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Fox Miller would be in the same direction as this thing, right?

151
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Yes.

152
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Could it have possibly been a plane?

153
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,000
It's impossible to be a plane. It had no wings, a tail, or propellers, or anything like that.

154
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
I think it could have been just some phenomenon of light.

155
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
I believe myself I'd seen a craft.

156
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000
What it was, I don't know. I'd like to have it explained to me.

157
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Unfortunately, there is no explanation yet.
