Full Description & Details

I had finished playing a job at the Deerfield Fair in Oct of '78. I am a musician. We were back home to Nashua from Deerfield on rt. 101. I was in the passenger seat and noticed a large purple light in the sky moving slowly from north to south. It was too slow to be an airplane. I called it to the attention of my friends. As we got closer to the path of the object we pilled over to the side of the road and got out. The object also stopped and was motionless in the sky. It looked like a childs top on it's side. The main body of it was glowing purple and on the notrh side it had what appeared to be a bright red dome. There were two rows of counter- rotating bright yellow lights going around the outside of the purple main body of the object very rapidly.There was no sound. A pickup truck stopped and asked if we needed any help. We pointed out the object the they obervered it with us for a couple of minutes and then left. We watched the object for another 5 or 10 minutes and got back in our car at which time the object continued slowly south and eventually dissappeared over the horizon. When we arrived at home one of my friend's girlfriend was waiting for us. She was agitated and said she had seen a UFO.

She described the same object we had seen and said that it was directly above her and that it took up the whole sky.

Witness Background

Musician, some college.

Other Comments

I have always wondered if anyone else had seen and or reported this object. I have not told many people about this sighting, mostly because most people aren't very understanding about this., but I know what I saw.
