UFO in broad daylight in front of a baseball game

UFO visual sighting

4th event:

Summer, July 1976, cabinis field Baseball Park. Divisional game between Carroll high and king high. Skylab is in orbit. During the middle of game the PA announcer who is calling the ball game, says that Skylab will be visible to the crowd (about 2500people) as it makes its orbit around earth. The PA announcer knows the exact time and the direction from which Skylab will appear from the horizon, I believe he told everyone to look to the southeast of cabinis field, as I looked up into the ‘clear blue sky’, directly out of the south in clear view came an object.

It was cylindrical, dark and gray, had no markings, some external equipment and crooked arm sticking out of it with red glowing bulb at the end of the crooked arm. It was clearly visible, the PA announcer and another man in the booth began to argue about the object, about it begin too low and not coming from the correct direction.

The object came directly over the ball field, not more than a few hundred to a thousand f! eet high. Its details were very visible to me. The object cleared the horizons from southern horizon to northern horizon in less than 10 seconds.

The men in the PA booth of the ballpark continued to argue over the loud speaker about the object until finally the head PA announcer said to drop it, nothing more was said. I remember going down the stands to the concession stand and people looking bewildered and dazed.

I got in my car and drove home in disbelief.
