UFO SIGHTED ON PRESQUE ISLE: A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL FROM JAMESTOWN, N.Y., WAS HYSTERICAL AFTER AN UNEARTHLY ENCOUNTER IN THE SANDS OF BEACH 6 AT PRESQUE ISLE STATE PARK ON JULY 31, 1966. AS BETTY JEAN KLEM, ANITA HAIFLEY AND HAIFLEY'S CHILDREN SAT IN THEIR CAR ON THE BEACH, THEY NOTICED A "METALLIC, SORT OF SILVERY" LIGHT THAT APPEARED TO SETTLE ON THE BEACH 300 YARDS FROM THE CAR, THE ERIE DAILY TIMES REPORTED AUG. 1.

"WE SAW A STAR MOVE. IT GOT BRIGHTER. IT WOULD MOVE FAST, THEN DIM. IT CAME STRAIGHT DOWN. THE CAR VIBRATED," KLEM SAID. KLEM THEN SAW A FEATURELESS, GORILLA-SHAPED CREATURE, ABOUT 6 FEET TALL, APPROACH THE CAR. THE CREATURE RETREATED INTO THE BRUSH WHEN KLEM SOUNDED THE HORN. HEARING THE HORN, POLICE RUSHED TO THE CAR AND FOUND THE GIRL "IN A STATE OF HYSTERIA." SCRATCHES WERE FOUND ON THE BEACHGOERS' CAR, SCRATCHES THEY INSISTED WEREN'T THERE BEFORE THEIR PARK VISIT. DURING AN INVESTIGATION, OFFICERS FOUND SEVERAL DIAMOND-SHAPED IMPRESSIONS, 18 INCHES WIDE AND 6 TO 8 INCHES DEEP, IN A TRIANGULAR PATTERN IN THE SAND.
