Flying Disk Seen In Rockville!
Rev. William B. Adams, Pastor of the Rockville Baptist Church, reports he has seen a flying disk!
One evening, about three weeks ago, he was sitting talking with Gene Bridgewater, Mr. Hoskins of Kensington, Maude Livingston and Charlie Ward when "all of a sudden I saw what I thought was a meteor going across the sky—it was so large and moved in such a strange fashion, sort of revolving. I do remember seeing almost an orange flame that went up about ten feet and then disappeared."
Rev. Adams said he didn't give that incident another thought until he read newspaper reports of the discs. He said the First Chapter of Ezekiel, the 15th verse on, gives similar descriptions of what some persons have reported seeing.
Rev. Adams concluded his conversation with "I am glad I know now what I saw—it was a disk!"
