Mr Stanley R Decker, a furloughed welder, was travelling on unpaved Rt. 113
when his car stalled. He knew he was over due for a new battery but was
surprised to see two other cars also stalled, on the other side of the road. He
got out of his vehicle and joined the other four people, whom he had never seen
before. " It was a clear night with stars, but this wasn't a spot to be out
alone at night walking on the road." He noticed one of the other cars stalled
was a new Ford Escort. The five witnesses talked for a few minutes before they
realised there were lights nearby in the woods. Lights which appeared to be on a
triangular, silvery object- red and yellow ones on the sides, with a big red one
on the bottom. " It was so close I could have spat at it." Decker said he
thought there was no wind at ground level.

The object seemed to have a structure like an I-beam around the periphery and
it appeared more round toward the bottom. They watched it for 15-20 minutes. It
wobbled occasionally and finally rose at an angle and went toward a nearby
camping area, going out of sight behind the trees.

While passing overhead, it moved very slowly. The rounded bottom was then
more visible but they could still see flat spots on the sides, " Where its wings
came to a point at the corners." It appeared wider than the road and there was
no sound. There were no lights on the back of the object as it moved overhead
and forward. " The red light on the bottom now seemed more like a hole in the
undersurface, filled with white light and resembling a fluorescent lamp".

Decker said the other witnesses got back into their cars and wouldn't talk to
him about what had just happened. He had felt numb while they were watching, and
afterwards had the impression that he " Wasn't supposed to say anything about
it." He is not sure what he had been doing immediately before the event and for
how long he sat there in his car afterward; the possibility that an abduction
event may have occurred disturbs him.

Looking for explanations and other witnesses, he telephoned the local weather
service and radio station WOBL. His brother-in-law serves in the K-9 section of
the local police department but was not a sympathetic listener. He is careful in
choosing those whom he tells of the incident.

Decker believes an airborne object he saw on December 29, over three months
later, is similar if not identical. He was returning home with his wife, between
6:30 and 7:00pm, after eating pizza. It appeared bigger than a passenger jet
would be at the same distance and was darker than the sky. Fewer lights were
visible than in the earlier sighting near the woods. "The object stopped
suddenly three times, changing direction, before finally darting out of
sight.

Mr Decker has since read in a book of a similar case and is anxious to find
out other, corroborating witnesses.

Three 10 year old boys were playing basketball outside Jill Pianelli`s house
when one of them heard a strange buzzing sound. They then saw a white flash and
noticed an object approaching from the west, from behind trees beyond a large,
open field. The object appeared rectangular, with rounded corners, and was
moving fast. Blue and white lights were observed spinning around the middle, and
also two red, blinking, fixed lights. It slowed down as it passed over the
Pianelli`s house, stopping just beyond and backing up slightly. At this point,
it appeared to be no more than 30 meters above the ground and hovered there for
about 10 seconds, with a slightly bluish glow.

When asked what he would hold at arms length to just cover the object, Peter
Pianelli said (after this question was carefully explained to him): " Nothing I
could have held in my hand would have been big enough to cover the object!".
Peter also said " We just stood there and went into shock." The object then
accelerated quickly to high speed, becoming noisier and turning white. It seemed
to disappear in a flash as it headed east, towards the ocean.

The other two boys are Johnny DePierro (not interviewed) and Anthony LaRusso.
Another witness in the same age group is Tara van Brunt, who lives a block away
and observed the white flash from her house, and also the object. Anthony felt
the initial sound was more like that of a jet aircraft. Both Anthony and Peter
mentioned the loud noise as the object accelerated away but were unable to
describe it verbally. " It was definitely not a helicopter ".

Mrs. Pianelli was indoors and did not see the object. She said the boys were
very frightened by their experience and that she had promised them she would
report the sighting. She called the nearby Earle Naval Base, at Ft. Monmouth, NJ
and was told it was not aware of any strange aircraft in the vicinity. Weather
at the time was clear, about 1-degree Celsius.

On Wednesday 13^th of November 2002 at about 7:30pm, two faintly
luminous saucers hovering over her property were spotted by a female witness in
Smithfield, North Carolina, some 20 miles south of Raleigh. " It was in my
back-yard," she said. " I had got up off my bed because I saw some lights in the
sky. I thought they belonged to an aeroplane, but I saw two disk-shaped objects
hovering in my back yard. They had different coloured lights wrapped around
them, green, yellow, red, white and pink. They stayed there awhile and then they
went slowly to the right at eye level. They were going really slow, then picked
up speed and were gone."
