◆ CASE FILEThe facts, corroborated
The Farmington Bay Sphere
At about 5 pm on 23 October 1962 a duck hunter at Farmington Bay in Utah said a silvery ball about three feet across passed over at jet speed trailing grey cobweb-like material, then accelerated out of sight in a second or two. Project Blue Book left it unidentified and its file is in the archive. This is the record of what he reported, not a verdict on what crossed the marsh.
