Initial data
Somewhere in August, 1952 (the exact date not remember) during the main wave of UFO sightings that year, Mrs. Suzanne knight, a young housewife and mother, saw a UFO at close range with what was on Board as the inhabitant.
Around 9:30 p.m. on that hot summer evening Mrs knight was in his kitchen when he heard a strange noise "bzzzzzzt", appears at the kitchen window. The noise was repeated several times, thinking that it is a large insect, she went to the window and looked out. She saw a bright object quickly descending at an angle of 45 degrees, and thought it was a plane that is about to collapse. Instead, the object was hung in a position at right angles to it, about half a city block and is about 300 feet above the ground.
The UFO seemed to Mrs knight is similar to the wingless fuselage of the aircraft and was a dull silver color. Something similar to smoke was back. On the side of the object, is addressed to Mrs knight, was several square Windows, through which shone a bright yellow light. Above and ahead, to her left, was a little red light.
On the underside of the UFO was an undercarriage similar to the gondola of the airship. It also contained a number of smaller square Windows and was brightly lit inside the yellow light. Mrs knight thought on this bottom she saw the rows of seats similar to the seats in the theater. Through the upper Windows she could see row of cabinets with a beveled top.
"There was a man, wrote Mrs knight, in his report to NICAP, - looking straight ahead towards the front [to her left]. I could not understand what he had been staring and not moving. I was expecting to see a lot of instruments or dials, etc., similar to the dashboard on the planes, but I saw no one."
She said that the bright yellow glow of the object was made everything inside look yellow,"even human". He was wearing a sort of helmet, and "around his hands and the side of the helmet, near his face, it seemed, was a shadow or dark line".
After a minute or so, Mrs. knight left the window to call to the newspaper, but was unable to get through. When she returned to the window, the object was still there, but the man was gone, and the chassis was no longer visible.
"I thought perhaps he moved to the fuselage because there wasn't even seen outlines, but it had to happen, because the street light would have shown it."
At this point, the lights on the object suddenly went out and the UFO turned from a dull silver color to a glowing red, "as the door of the old pot-bellied stove". He also began to swing towards and from the witness looked "wavy, like water flowing on a rock, as the waves of heat coming out of the electric toaster." Then she started to call someone else in the house, so he came and saw the object, but while she was looking for his sister, the object flew away. In General, the incident lasted about three minutes, at least, two minutes of which Mrs. knight had seen the entire object.
The witness told her sister about what she had seen, omitting the part about the inmate (she was sure that her sister doesn't believe her). Sister showed disinterest and a certain degree of scepticism, so Mrs. knight stopped to talk about it. She forgot about this incident until, while in a few years she told her husband and children.
A report was brought to the attention of NICAP, and knight made a comprehensive report in September 1967. After that, she was questioned by a member of the Subcommittee of NICAP. Mrs. knight holds a responsible position in the County of Prince George.

Original news
Sometime in August, 1952 (the exact date cannot be recalled) during the major UFO sighting wave of that year, Mrs. Suzanne E. Knight, a young housewife and mother, saw a UFO at close range with what appeared to be an occupant aboard.
At about 9:30 p.m. on that hot summer evening, Mrs. Knight was in her kitchen when she heard a peculiar “bzzt” noise, apparently against the screen of the kitchen window. The noise was repeated several times and thinking it was a large insect, she went to the window and looked out. She saw a bright object descending rapidly at a 45 degree angle and thought it was a plane about to crash; instead, the object came to a hovering position at a right angle to her, approximately half a city block away and about 300 feet above the ground.
The UFO appeared to Mrs. Knight to resemble the wingless fuselage of a plane and was dull silver in color. Something similar to smoke was coming from the rear. The side of the object facing Mrs. Knight was lined with a number of square windows through which a brilliant yellow light was shining. On top and to the front of the object, to her left, was a small red light, extended somewhat above the body.
On the underside of the UFO was an undercarriage similar to the gondola of a dirigible; this also contained a row of smaller, square windows and was brilliantly aglow inside with yellow light. Mrs. Knight thought she observed what appeared to be rows of seats, similar to theatre seats, in this lower portion. Through the upper windows she was able to see what appeared to be a row of cabinets with slanted tops.
“There was a man in front,” Mrs. Knight wrote in her report to NICAP, “looking straight ahead towards the front [to her left]. I couldn’t understand what he was looking at so intently, and not moving either. I expected to see a lot of instruments or dials, etc. similar to instrument panels on airplanes, but there were none that I could see.” She said that the bright yellow glow in the object made everything inside look yellow, “even the man.” This occupant wore a kind of helmet and “around his arm and the side of his helmet, next to his face, there seemed to be a shadow or a dark line.”
After watching for a minute or so, Mrs. Knight left the window to phone the newspaper, but she was unable to get an answer. When she returned to the window, the object was still there but the man had disappeared and the undercarriage was no longer visible.
“I thought maybe it had moved up into the fuselage, because not even an outline of the car was visible, but it should have been because the street light would have shown it.”
At that point the lights in the object were abruptly extinguished and the UFO turned from a dull silver color to a glowing red, “like the door of an old pot-bellied stove.” (Compare with Mrs. Starr’s report – see next case.) It also began to rock toward and away from the witness and gave the appearance of being “wavy, like water running over a rock or like heat waves coming out of an electric toaster.” She then began calling for someone else in the house to come and see the object but while she was looking for her sister the object departed. Altogether, the incident had lasted approximately three minutes, at least two minutes of which Mrs. Knight had had the object in clear view.
The witness told her sister of what she had seen, omitting the detail about the occupant (she was certain her sister would disbelieve her); the sister displayed disinterest and a certain degree of skepticism, so Mrs. Knight ceased to talk of it. She forgot the incident until a number of years later, when she told her husband and children. The report came to the attention of NICAP and Mrs. Knight made out a full report in September, 1967. Following this, she has been interviewed further by a member of the Capital Area NICAP Subcommittee. Mrs. Knight holds a responsible job in Prince Georges County.
