LOCAL MAN TELLS OF

A “FLYING SAUCER” ENCOUNTER!

 


You won’t read about this encounter in “Project Blue Book” or in any other news media. This is an exclusive story based on my true eyewitness account of a “Flying” Saucer Encounter back in 1964 while sledding! When we were kids, we did a lot of sledding. This was back in the days when there were real sleds made from wood and steel. Tim had a “Comet” sled that was long and had a round pointed front with a blue circle, and I had a very old sled. The brand name and paint had long faded. We used to go sledding on hills that were known as “The Carcass Breaker” and “The Ice cream Dip.” The “Carcass Breaker” is located just east of the Route 61 bridge on the south end of Berlin Hts. I noticed going to the library a few days ago, that there were “sled marks” on that hill, so kids are still sledding on it! Unfortunately, the plastic “sleds” that kids are stuck with these days, don’t go nearly as fast as our old metal-runnered ones did. When we “sledded” on the “Carcass Breaker,” our ultimate goal was to get to the ice on the frozen Old Woman Creek and slide across to the opposite bank! That meant that you had a really great run! One winter day, the Kaminski brothers, Warren and Wayne, hosed down the whole hill with water and we had an “ice-covered” hill! You talk about speed and distance! All of us not only made it across the ice on the creek, but we’d hit the opposite bank and fly forward off the sled! COOL! During the time, we were enjoying the increased speeds of the “iced down hill,” Tim was, as usual, raising “Cain.” He would stand about half way down the hill with our Silver Aluminum “Snow Saucer” and throw it in front of the “sledder” as they zoomed down the hill. If he timed it right, the saucer would stick under the front part of the sled runners and the rider would loose steering control and go aimlessly out of control down the hill. Tim kept after me about “laying down this time.” I always went down on my sled sitting and steering with my feet, as opposed to laying prone and steering with my hands, as Tim always did. I always felt safer this way. Tim kept saying, “Come on and go laying down, I promise I won’t throw the saucer in front of you”. After much cajoling and reassurance, I reluctantly said, “Alright, but you really PROMISE you won’t throw the saucer in front of me”! Tim said, “I PROMISE, I PROMISE!” So I did a very RARE “laying down” sled run. Oh yeah, you KNOW that Tim threw the aluminum saucer in front of me! It not only locked the front steering runners, but it also flipped up and hit me RIGHT IN THE NOSE, resulting in a rare gushing “Double Nostril Nose Bleed”! I can still vividly see and recall the numbing sensation of the saucer hitting my nose with a blurring speed! It’s a wonder it didn’t break my nose as well! And there’s a lot of it to break! I never did learn my lesson that you NEVER can trust your brother! I would experience many more instances of paying for never learning my lesson in the future!
