Lady R. N., who lives near Dress regional airport, was walking her dog on that very cold, clear evening before the 22:00 newscast. 

She said she would have seen the object even if there was no light on it, as it was close, and was shining like aluminum, and motionless. 

At first, she thought it was some kind of airship, the airliner was coming to land at this time, and she assumed that the "airship" was waiting for permission to land, since the airport is nearby. She stared at the object for a while, wondering what it might be, then returned to her living room. The object was still hovering outside. 

The next morning, she contacted the airport to find out what kind of plane it was, and wanted to see it because it seemed unusual.

 "I was asked a lot of questions at the airport," she said. "That's when I found out it was a UFO, and I regretted not watching it and calling others to see it." 

It looked like "an airship with a superstructure on the lower surface and one row of lanterns or illuminated portholes. The object was silent and hovered higher than the one-story house next door,but not much higher than the treetops.

Summary:   The lady, an RN. lives near Dress-Regional airport and was out walking her dog that extremely cold, clear evening before the 10 PM news. She said she would have seen the object even if it had no light, as it was close by and large and was shiny as aluminum and motionless. She first thought the object was some type of blimp, an airliner was on its landing approach at the time and she assumed the “blimp” was awaiting landing clearance, since the airport is nearby. She stared at the object for awhile, wondering what it could be, then returned to her living room. The object was still hovering outside. The next morning she contacted the airport to inquire what craft it was and wanted to see it since it appeared unusual. “The airport asked me many questions,” she said. “So I knew then it was a UFO and was sorry that I had not watched it and not called others to see it.” It looked like “a blimp with an extension on the lower surface and one row of lights or lighted portholes. Object was soundless and hovered higher than the one story house next door, but not much higher than treetop level.
