FBI INVESTIGATES MYSTERY LIGHT OVER GREEN ISLAND

A mystery light still is reported in the Green Island vicinity and Sheriff Bert 
Morehead with the aid of FBI agents are now conducting a thorough 
investigation. As many as a dozen persons have reported seeing the light during 
the past four nights and attempts to follow it have proven futile.

They report the light sometimes appears to move with the wind and sometimes 
against it.

William Marburger, who first reported the incident, believes it to be a 
balloon, as ropes were seen trailing it. Others in the community who have 
reported the mysterious balloon include Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Roe, Emil Tarr, 
Mrs. Lawrence Rickert, and the Marvin Meyer family.

At first thought to be a lost weather balloon, the object resulted in little 
concern. Now it is a headache to law enforcement officials.
