The object made a sound slmtllar to that of a large Jawnmower. Meanwhile, one of the youths with Kowalczyk spotted something moving along a Kowalczyk described two Menallen Jr. Grange Party (Coii'l Krom Page One) lesls of ihe area, but he reported nothing 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 (ear. While some 15 persons said they witnessed the landing of the huge, reddish, ball-like object, George Kowalczyk of 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.

Kowalczyk, 22; reported that he was driving along the road when he saw an orange light in the sky over his father's field. Kowalczyk parked his truck, took his rifle and two neighbor boys lo investigate. "He said he watched Ihe 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 ilnmc top. It was very, very Mr, Kowalczyk, who stated his eyes began to bother him at this lime and that lights on his pickup truck dimmed, then got into his Iruck anci called the State Police. Both Mr. Gordon and troopers at the scene acknowledged that Kowalczyk was visibly shaken by the incident. No physical signs of a landing were evident, but Mr.

Gordon said the grass in the pasture was cropped low by fjra.mK catties. In addition, no t'oniprinls were found, hut Ihe 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. The headlights would dim and the radio would he fitted with static when this happened," he added.

Mr. Gordon noted that over a dozen UFO sightings were reported in western Pennsylvania on Thursday night. His office has reported over 400 sightings already this year. "I never believed In any of this." said one eyewitness, "but I know what I saw. And I saw that ins stiff-legged.

The description, given to Gordon was the creatures were completely covered wittf 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 smelled, which has been noted in most, of the other sightings of Bigfoot. While one of the youths ran away in fear, Kowalczyk fired a shot into Ihe air arid then' directly at the creatures as they began 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 and the light hi the field disappeared and the sound, stopped. The two creatures then slowly walked. away." A fun-filled evening of games is being arranged by Mrs. Judy Ganoe, Mrs. Vicki Dehanis, Mrs.

He said the American public had been pounded bv "frantic, hysterical reporting" night after night on television and radio but "this is a very strong country The American people, I think, can" ride through the shocks." Asked about how he has held up under the emotional stress of the repeated 'crises rocking his administration, Nixon responded: "The tougher it gets, the cooler I get." added that it isn't pleasant to find himself and his friends subject to what he called untrue allegations, but "because I have been through so much, that may be one of the reasons I have what it takes." "That's a bit mure difficult." Nixon's firing of Cox brought the resignation of Atty. Gen. Elliot Richardson and the dismissal of Deputy Atty. Gen.

William D. Ruckelshaus. Nixon's radio-televisiDn news conference was his first since Oct. 3. Shortly before Nixon's news conference began, Acting Atty.

Gen. Robert H. Bork said he had recommended that the President appoint a special prosecutor with the same independence Cox had. Bork said he submitted five or six names for White House consideration for the job, but declined to disclose administration reaction to his recommendations. In another development in the hours before the news conference.

Cox told an interviewer that he would consider resuming the job of special prosecutor. The President said the stream of Watergate revelations "have been very damaging to the administration" hut voiced hope- that the new special prosecutor will bring the issue to a conclusion. "It Is time for those who are guilty to be prosecuted and for those who are innocent tu he cleared 1 he declared in an-nouncing there would be a new prosecutor. With the move, Nixon was seeking to calm the still-swirling crisis he triggered when he fired Cox last weekend for refusing to drop court efforts to obtain White House tapes of Watergate-relaied conversations.
