The craft looked like the photo purpoted ufo in Passaic, New Jersey, taken July 31, 1952.

I am writing this report on behave of my mother, because she does not use computers or smartphones. My mother went to sleep around 8pm and she was in 6th grade at the time. She woke up because of the spinning noise it was making, her window was open in her room in the basement. That night was a full moon that lit up the backyard. My mom said the object made a noise that sounded like it was going to land. It had a red dome light on and on top of the saucer. Covered with different small white lights around the cylinder near the top. She stated that the craft was about 21 or 22 feet away from her window and hovering above her backyard tree. She ran into the other room to wake her sister up to witness this event. Both confirmed the story to their science teacher the next day at school. She said it was hovering for about 5 to 10 minutes and slightly moved to her left from the top of the tree. She went back to bed because she was scared and the sister was too tired to really care about the whole incounter. I showed her a series of pictures on the internet to best describe what it closely resembles and it was the famous photograph of a purported ufo in Passaic, New Jersey, taken on July 31, 1952. She said that's exactly how it looked!
