Initial data
Four boys who were camping noticed a very bright light source slowly descending. Then the object descended "sideways, zigzagging". The object slowed down and began to move directly over the boys.
The boys saw that it was not a helicopter, turned and ran to the house of one of the boys.
The boys, who were asked to describe the object individually, said it looked like an octahedron-shaped object that appeared to be tilted at a 45-degree angle. The object had four tubular legs with "round pads" at the ends of each leg.
As the object passed directly over the boys, they noticed a flashing red light on the back of the object. A 10-foot (3 m) long fire exhaust appeared under the object, which appeared to change color.
The boys described a row of bright, silver, inverted U-shaped cables protruding from the top of the object.
According to eyewitnesses, the object flew over them at an altitude of about 150 feet (45.6 m). They described its size as one to two cars high and wide. The case was investigated by the Massachusetts NICAP Subcommittee under Chairman Raymond E. Fowler.

Summary: four young boys who were camping out observed a very bright light source descending slowly. The object then descended in a “sideways, zigzag” manner. The object slowed its descent and began to move directly over the boys. The boys could see that the object was not a helicopter and turned and ran to the home of one of the boys. The boys, asked individually to describe the object, said it looked like an octahedron-shaped object that appeared to be tilted at a 45-degree angle. The object had four pipe-like legs with “round pads” affixed to the end of each leg. As the object passed directly over the boys, they observed a flashing red light on the object’s trailing side. A fiery 10-foot-long exhaust appeared beneath the object and seemed to changed colors. The boys described a number of bright, silver, inverted U-shaped cable-like things sticking into the top of the object. According to the witnesses the object passed over them at an altitude of approximately 150 feet. They described its size as between one and two car-lengths in both height and width. This case was investigated by NICAP’s Massachusetts Subcommittee, under direction of Chairman Raymond E. Fowler.
