June 29, 1948 — Uniontown, PA
11:00 p.m. Catherine MacDonald and Margaret Hollar of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, see an oval luminous object “rolling” vertically on its edge in level (or climbing) flight at about 5,000 ft, below the clouds, with a short trail (about 1/2 length of object) moving southwest to northeast. Two similar objects are seen at 5-minute intervals, the second one seemingly transparent, as lightning could be seen flashing behind it. They call the police; police Sgt. Charles Shuh and his daughter also see the second group of objects. Another neighbor woman and her daughter are brought out, when a third object is seen, height estimated 6,000–9,000 feet moving in the same direction. [Eberhart]
