(A True Experience)
by Kenneth B. Pritchard
On Saturday evening, October 21, 1933, a strange thing was noted by two
friends and myself.
It was quite dark, for clouds were thick and hanging low in the sky.
From out of the east there flashed a beam as of a searchlight questing
thru the atmosphere. It shone at intervals of a few seconds. These
intervals were irregular, and sometimes the beam would last longer than
at others. Once, it lasted easily ten seconds, and probably more.
At times this light seemed a reflection from the clouds; but then
again, after the almost beam-like light had ceased, the light came
directly from the clouds seemingly from someone in or above them!
There are no really high places in my city (Pittsfield, Mass.) to shine
a light from that position.
Was it a search beam, a natural phenomena, or something from Beyond?
