Observers saw a bright disc hovering and fluttering in the air. It descended and rose thru a vertical distance of 50 to 100 ft for some 5 seconds and while at the top of an ascent it suddenly swooped to the NE at tremendous speed, traveled some 200 ft and disappeared into the clear air - appeared to "melt into thin air" as a result of the tremendous speed. Appeared approximately 3 ft in dia x 5 or 4 inches in thickness from observers' viewpoint - and estimated as considerably greater in size as witnesses were some 2 or 3 miles from the object.

Witnesses: Steve Herrmann and Karl Herrmann.
