    An offical of the Center for UFO Studies is seeking information from
    anyone who might have seen a phenomenon similar to one reported by
    a Lima man.

    Arley Taylor said he was making deliveries to Scot Lad Foods Inc.,
    1100 Prosperity Road, at 4:30 a.m. today when he saw an orange light
    in the sky, "that was the size of a grapefruit and darted about like
    a hummingbird for about 10 to 15 seconds, then disappeared."

    Taylor, 55, of 1030 Cornell Drive, reported the sighting to Lima's
    John Timmerman, vice president of the Center for UFO Studies in
    Glenview, Ill. Taylor said he studied the sky as he continued on his
    delivery route, but didn't see the object again. Taylor works for
    Service American Corp., 1251 N. Cole St.

    The light was in the northwest, apparently some 200 feet above the
    ground, and could be seen against the overcast sky, said Taylor.

    Timmerman asked that anyone who might have seen a similar phenomenon
    today contact him in writing at P.O. Box 1621, Lima.

    Report #: 175
    From: UFO INFO SERVICE
    Date Sent: 10-16-1986
    Subject: WIKIEUP, AZ

    CASE TYPE: LRS - DS
    DATE: 10 JULY 1986
    TIME: EARLY MORNING
    DURATION: UNKNOWN

    WIKIEUP - The Arizona Department of Public Safety said the people
    were sober and on their way to, not from, Las Vegas. The motorists
    reported an an other- worldly light on the western horizon followed
    their car as they traveled toward Las Vegas shortly before dawn Thursday.

    However, an expert on heavenly bodies said later Thursday that the
    light probably was nothing more than the planet Mars.

    A member of a group that compiles reports of UFO sightings does not
    agree.

    At this point, officers of the DPS don't really care what it was.
    They are tired of all the hoopla.

    A motorist, who DPS spokesman Alan Schmidt said wants to remain anonymous,
    told an officer that she, another adult and her two sons were driving
    to Las Vegas, Nev., on U.S. 93 early Thursday when she and her sons
    spotted a strange orange light that hovered above the western horizon
    and appeared to follow the car as it traveled north.

    The object was said to "pulsate like a star" and was described as
    appearing "about twice as bright and twice as big as a star."

    Patrolman Veronica Minch, Schmidt said, had spotted the object earlier.

    "She thought little of it and went on about her business," Schmidt said.

    "Meanwhile, down the road, these people see it."

    The DPS phoned Nellis Air Force Base, near Las Vegas, "to see if any
    rockets or balloons had been launched," Schmidt said. "They said
    they had no activity like that."

    Report #: 176
    From: UFO INFO SERVICE
    Date Sent: 10-16-1986
    Subject: BON HARBOR HILLS, KY

    CASE TYPE: LRS - NL
    DATE: 17 JUNE 1986
    TIME: 2300 HOURS
    DURATION: UNKNOWN
    WITNESSES: FIVE

    --------------------------------------
    On the night of June 17, Karl Brown, Marty Patterson, Joey and Robbie
    Butler and Terry Guggisberg were in Bon Harbor Hills about 11 p.m.
    when two single lights similar to stars appeared in the west. The
    lights attracted their attention because of the slow movement eastward,
    which they first thought might be airplanes. But the lights moved
    toward Rockport, Ind. and disappeared without a sound, and there were
    no flashing lights or colored wing lights that appear on planes at
    night.

    About 15 minutes later another pair of lights appeared in the northwest
    and traveled eastward. These lights seemed to pause occasionally.
