Before it gets dark enough to see the stars, you will notice that Jupiter shines slightly ahead of the overhead line of stars that make up the 'W' of Cassiopeia - the famous queen who was turned into a constellation. Look for it, if you can, to left of Jupiter, to try to see if - but Venus is so low in the sky it will be hard to pick it up clearly enough.

After a few minutes the object disappeared from sight and the material on the ground began to disintegrate and disappear. When exposed to air, it shrank and disappeared completely, leaving no residue. November 8 Ceanon, Nebraska - A reliable report of a saucer-like craft maneuvering over fields and rising rapidly into the sky was received here, but it disappeared before investigators could examine the site. Cmdr. and two other persons observed "disc-shaped" objects about 7:15 a.m. The text below the image provides details about the sighting, including that it was observed by several residents in Baltimore, Maryland on the night of November 10, 1961. One of the witnesses, looking from his home, observed the object approaching and passing overhead at high speed.
