HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — Six workmen, who had gathered late last night at a rural home near here to ride to work, told a reporter they watched a mysterious gleaming ball over the house for 20 minutes. One of the men, Les Reatherford, said the ball once dived toward him, and that he had to duck to avoid being hit.
"If I hadn't ducked it would have hit me sure," said Reatherford.
The men, all employees of a Reynolds Metal Co., aluminum plant, described the white ball of light as about 10 feet in diameter. They said it circled the house slowly, stopping for a moment at irregular intervals.
One of the witnesses said the ball followed the men when they left in a station wagon.
"We tried to put a spotlight on it," said one of the men, "but every time it would dodge the beam."
Besides Reatherford, those who saw the object were Harley and Fred Skeets, Tom and Dayton Henderson, and John Vaughn.
