UFO, Report Here Similar To Other Sightings Reported sighting of a UFO in a field along the Vances Mill-Bute Rd. a i is i i a numerous other reports that have i southwestern Pennsylvania during the past few months. Stanley Gordon, director of the Westmoreland County UFO Study Group, said the Fayette Countv sighting of the "UFO" and "Bigfoot" is identical to other reports in his' tiles. ''We've had eight confirmed sightings from reliable sources of low level UFO activity before or minutes after Bigfoot was seen," said Mr. Gordon, who has in- vestigated Bigfoot reports Greensburg in late September and early October.

He mentioned an incident at Presque Isle near Erie in July 1966 when a UFO supposedly landed on a beach and a hairy creature was reportedly seen in the area moments later. The Westmoreland County UFO Study Group, comprised of scientists, engineers, teachers and other professional people who investigate UFO sightings on a state-wide level, was particularly interested in the sighting in North Union Twp. because of the striking similarities of other reports. "There haven't been any sightings Bigloot since the first week of October in western Pennsylvania," Mr. -Gordon said, "but the creature described in this incident fits those creatures identically." Mr.

Gordon and his team of investigators were at the'scene yester- day to talk to witnesses and take tests of the area, but he reported i but normal background radiation. However, he reported that the farm animals in the area, dogs or cows, would not go near the area where the creatures were seen and the UFO reportedly landed, because of fear. While some 15 persons said they George Kowalezyk at site where he saw strange creatures. witnessed the landing of. the huge, Vreddish, ball-like object, George Kowalezyk of N.

Gallatin Ave. probably had the best view of the UFO and two strange creatures that were in a field on his father's farm. A glowing ring was also reported around where the object landed. Kowalezyk, 22, reported that he was driving along the road when he saw an orange light in the sky over his father's field. Kowalezyk parked his truck, took his rifle and two neighbor boys to investigate.

"He said he watched the thing descend slowly to the ground," Gordon reported. "This time it was completely white. It was about 100 feet in diameter, as big as a house, with a domn on top. It was very Ihu investigator added. The object made a sound similiar to that of a large lawnmower.

The description given to Gordon was the creatures were completely covered with a dark, grayish hair, had long arms that extended almost to the ground and they were making crying sounds such as a baby would make. A sharp odor similar to sulphur could be smelted, which has been noted in most of the other sightings of Bigfoot. While one of the youths ran away in fear, Kowalezyk fired a shot into the air and then directly at the creatures as they to approach him.

The local man then gave this account to Gordon of what happened next: "The larger creature made a moaning sound, raised his right hand jand the light in the field disappeared "and stopped. The two creatures then slowly walked away." 'Mr. Kowalezyk, who stated his eyes began to bother him at this time and that lights on his pickup truck dimmed, then got into his truck and called the State Police. Both Mr. Gordon and a trooper at the scene acknowledged that Kowalezyk was visibly shaken by the incident.

In addition, no loolprints were found, but the investigation is continuing. "We've had dozens of sightings all over the state in the past few weeks," Mr. Gordon said, "of large luminous objects hovering near the roofs of cars.
