on or about june 1963 I saw a chrome ball about the size of a beachball hovering over the trees while in a boat fishing.
I was about 10 years old and was out fishing with my Grandfather.It was early evening just after super. We were in a small row boat on the lake just off shore near the point. After dropping the anchor and casting my line toward shore,I looked above the trees and saw a chrome ball just over the trees. At first I thought it was a balloon or maybe a beach ball, but the wind was blowing some and it didn't move. My Grandfather was fishing off the otherside of the boat and couldn't see it yet. I continued to watch it and noticed I could see the reflection of the trees below it. There had been a lot of talk on the TV about swampgas and such being the reason for people seeing UFO's. I remember thinking ,"this ain't no swampgas".After watching for just a few min. I said ,hey granpa look at that. I pointed so he could see. He looked at it for a while and then told me to pull up the anchor. I asked why and he said never mind just do it. After putting the anchor into the boat I looked back up while my Grandfather was still watching it. As I saw it just disapear in front of my eyes my Granpa said were going in. I looked all over for it and realized the sun was going down and the lake was now calm. I remember thinking it can't be that late already! But it was. I ran up to the cottage yelling all the way "we saw a UFO" My granpa told me to hush and when my father asked granpa said we saw something I don't know what it was . No one would ever talk about it again. Many years later I asked my dad about it and he sid granpa wouldn't talk about it. Soon after he died of cancer of the kidney's
