AUGUST 1955, CHAZY LANDING, NEW YORK, USA, JAMES F. RODDY:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

It seems that the local Press reported that in Chazy Landing, New York, in August 1955, at 03:00 a.m., seeing a fire like glow in the woods, James F. Roddy approached by car within a few hundred feet by using back roads. He said it was off in a clearing, glowing like a batch of 200-watt bulbs.

Then he heard heavy footsteps running, and somebody walloped the back of his car, as if he had put his hands on the rear end and vaulted all the way over. It had to be a very heavy person to rock the car the way it did.

Then the footsteps noises ran on toward the shining object. Scared, Roddy quickly drove back to the main road, where he saw a bluish-green light that rose jerkily from the woods, then glowed bluish white and moved away at high speed.
