Rhode Island Residents Sight UFO Over Providence
Providence area residents reported a bright white object moving west to east about 5:30 a.m. near Providence. Brown University emeritus Charles H. Smiley suggested space junk debris, with local bases and weather service unable to explain the unidentified flying object. Two dozen calls flooded the police station and radio stations as witnesses described a very bright light about one-eighth the moon’s apparent size.
