BATH, S. C., July 1 (UP) -- Paging Kenneth (Saucers) Arnold. come quick.
People in South Carolina are seeing things in the sky, too.
Jack Realms reported today that a flying disc whizzed through the sky in plain view about 10:30 last night.
Of course, it was just a little baby saucer - only 12 inches in diameter - compared to the much bigger ones Arnold saw in the state of Washington.
"But I saw it, just the same," Realms says positively. "It was the weirdest thing I ever saw. It traveled at a tremendous rate of speed. It gave off a faint eerie light and it was gone from sight in a few moments."
Realms was waiting for some expert to call it a meteorite, but he had an answer all ready.
"I don't think it was," he said. "Not that thing."
