APRIL 19, 1974, ALTAMONT, NEW YORK, RUTH CURRIE, LAURIE CURRIE, MR. CURTIS:
Brief summary of the event and follow-up:
A NICAP ufologist and a MUFON ufologist seemd to have reported a case in Altamont, New York, USA, that took place on April 19, 1974, at 08:00 p.m..
Ruth Currie and her daughter, Laurie, observed a brightly lit object on the road a few hundred feet from their home, while neighborhood dogs were making a fuss.
Going closer, they saw an oval craft with windows around the top from which came a golden light; indistinct, "egg shaped" figures were seen moving through the windows.
A neighbor, Rose Curtis, was summoned to confirm their sighting; then Mr. Curtis, but the latter only saw the object rising.
The following day, a large burned area, 60 feet in diameter, was found.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Ernie Jahn for Nicap, and Ben Jamison for Mufon.
Points to consider:
It is very regrettable that I could find only few information on this case with multiple witnesses, close distance, and potential evidence of a ground trace.
