Albert Samms is a twelve-year old boy. He was alone when he saw the object. He thought it was flying at the height of a plane at high altitude but that it looked strange for an airplane because it was lit up so brightly- it was not carrying lights ("planes do have a light or two") It was of a bright reddish yellow color. Witness saw it only momentarily because of the tremendous speed. "I saw it only for a minute because it was traveling at a terrific speed."

His mother, Mrs. Samms, is the Post Mistress of the town and after hearing her son's description felt that it answered the description of the "flying disc". She added that Albert didn't believe the thing was a plane since "it wouldn't shoot down like that did" and "besides it was too 'lit up'".
