5:00 p.m. Two bright discs are seen over Oradell, New Jersey. At 6:00 p.m., former Navy flying officer J. J. McVickers sees two discs just across the state line near Oradell. At 7:50 p.m., Victor Cipolla sees a glowing object descend toward Oradell. Two other witnesses see one round object with a fin on top and another under it at darting back and forth near Oradell Reservoir. At 7:55 p.m., three teens see and hear a bright, oval object land in the reservoir with a loud splash. A moment later, it lifts off and climbs silently at high speed. [Eberhart]
