I am a male, 75+ years old. When I was 8 yrs old, 67 years ago, I watched an object approx. 4' X 1.5' X 2" drop out of the sky from approx. 100' when I first noticed it. It was pure white round or radius edges, slightly wider (round) at both ends. It oscillated (rocked) back and forth or left and right moving downward right toward me. It got to within 15-20' over me oscillated a few times, then moved upward in the same manner it had descended until it was out of site. I wasn't afraid because I was young and curious. After it disappeared I continued playing in the yard and barn. I've never mentioned this to anyone before because it didn't seem important and I just went about my life. However, now with all the stories I thought I would mention it and see if anyone else had experienced a similar situation and had not mentioned it for fear of ridicule or whatever. If I was an artist I would try to draw this object, but I am not artistic. Anyone that wants to speak with me about drawing it for me, I'd like to hear from you. This incident happened in Beaver Dam Michigan, between Hudsonville and Zeeland. I am living in Georgia. "After thought" At first I thought it might be a piece of paper floating down, but as it got closer I could see it wasn't paper, it had to much mass and it wasn't aimlessly floating.

But then, there is this second submission... again from JUNE 1947 (not more specific) - from a town called INDEX, Washington (pop of 183 in 2013) - YES in a sense, this is relatively close to where Kenneth Arnold saw those first 9 UFO's flying like saucers the SAME month.
First the short description at MUFON
"Dennis Johnson & I were walking in St. by side of our house.when we saw"
(Isn't it hilarious that MUFON edits the report of his buddies name below but let it in the short description?)

And now the full report:
(name deleted)fg & I were walking in St. by side of our house when we saw a green and orange fireball pass from S. to N. over a low ridge and dissappeared (no sound and no fire) into the side of the Mt.to the east of us. We thought we had seen a meteor, but the angle of flight was almost zero (Flat trajectory). The lack of sound and fire was also mysterious.
A few days later(???), (I was ten years old and ready to start the 5th grade in Sept.) I was awakened early one morning (it was just starting to get light) Looking over to the door in my bedroom, (they were extra tall because the previous owner was 610 tall.) I saw a gray human like shape at least as tall as the door, standing just inside the doorway. I was unable to speak for perhaps 30 seconds. Then I Called "Dad, Dad", but the words were hardly loud enough for me to hear, I had the thought that I was asleep and I had a bad dream. Quickly, looking at the creature, I pulled the covers over my head and looked out a peephole I made and the object was gone - no sound.
I had to keep this quiet for fear my friends would think me crazy. Ive kept this secret until I retired from defense work for fear I would lose my S. clearance.
If you would like I could provide a topo-map showing the approximate path of the object.
Ive been retired since 2004 but now Im writing Christian Literature. These books are given free of charge to my students.
Thanx

=================================================
So.... a child saw a `tall grey human like shape' upon waking in their bedroom- that vanished. Hmm. A bit less than credible in my mind. Tall and Grey and Human like - I wonder what 1948 will hold? (update... I did the search -AND it looks like THREE reports are from 1948 - are you interested?)
================================
they include my best UFO analysis
