In the 1970-ies on the East coast of the United States has been a unique detect a UFO. When the Sun shone the last rays in the city, the boy saw a mysterious glowing sphere and two pilots who were there.

The story began in mid-June 1970 in East Aurora (new York).

At the end of the day, at dusk, mother and daughter were busy in the garage, while a young 11-year-old Patrick played basketball in the street before bedtime.

Dribbling he felt pleasure, and suddenly he noticed a strange light directed right to him. Initially he thought it was just a plane flying at relatively low altitude, or helicopter.

He threw the ball to the basket and looked back at the mysterious glowing object. It was then he found that this UFO was not noisy. Patrick was intrigued. He saw that the object slowly and silently flew over the large maples area.

When the ship was at a distance of a football field from him, he noticed that the object was spherical in shape, yellow in color, but not brilliant. Then the object continued to approach, while the witness could not see the contents of the cabin!

He could see that inside were two people:

"Humanoid on the right stood. He opened his hands and stood in front of the control panel. The other was sitting, as I could only see his shoulders and his head."

The two aliens had a round head and a thin, almost rickety body.

This observation lasted only 10 minutes. The UFO flew over the stunned witness. Gradually it became more and more sense, he asked the sister to come and see. But it was all over.

"She couldn't see, but due to my excitement she knew I just saw something inexplicable."

Then Patrick and his sister went on the bikes to the side of the school Parking lot. Alas, they didn't see anything, except for the many stars ...

Original news

It was twilight on a warm Sunday evening in mid-June 1970 in East Aurora, NY.

Patrick’s mom and sister were fussing with something in the garage, but eleven year old Patrick didn’t care about that. He was blissfully involved with shooting baskets in the driveway before bedtime.

He was dribbling back to his shooting position when he noticed an odd light coming toward him. His first impression was that it was just a low flying airplane or maybe a helicopter. He thought to himself, that’s no big deal.

He shot another basket retrieved his ball and while returning to position he glanced back at the bright object. That’s when he realized that this thing wasn’t making any sort of noise; this puzzled him. He kept watching the object as it slowly and silently flew over the tops of the neighborhood’s tall maple trees.

Adult Patrick recounts to us “that he sort of felt helpless.” He just stood there and stared at this thing as it silently glided over the tree tops toward him.  When the object got to within a football field length from him he was able to make out that it was spherical in shape and had a yellowish color but not glowing. As the object hovered at tree top level a mere few houses away he was able to make out a “cockpit.”

“That’s when I saw them!” Patrick said. He clearly saw two occupants silhouetted by the cockpit light. He tells us “the being on the right was apparently standing up; arms spread apart apparently standing at a control panel.” Then he clearly remembers, “The other occupant was sitting down, as I could only see its shoulders and head.” He could make out that the beings had round looking heads and slim bodies.

He’d been observing this thing for what seemed like 10 minutes when finally the object passed overhead. That’s when he “stuttered a call” to his sister to come see. But before she could reach him, Patrick glanced back at the object, just in time to see it rapidly climbing high into the night sky.

He says his sister, “Didn’t see it, but due to my excitement, she knew he had just seen something.”

Patrick jumped on his sister nearby bicycle and quickly rode to the school parking lot in an effort to catch another look at this amazing thing. “I didn’t see anything but stars.”
