In reply to the discussion: My family UFO story: [View all]Kid Berwyn
(14,803 posts)80. "It was as pretty as anything I ever saw." -- Evelyn Trent
Local UFO photos fascinated Air Force; farmer wanted to forget them
Updated May 17, 2019; Posted Oct 12, 2017
By Douglas Perry | The Oregonian/OregonLive
Evelyn Trent started yelling for her husband at about 7:45 that evening. She was feeding their rabbits in the yard of the couples Dayton farm when she saw it -- like a good-sized parachute canopy without the strings, only silver-bright mixed with bronze.
It was as pretty as anything I ever saw, she recalled later.
She ran into the house, found her husband -- and their camera -- and they raced back into the yard. Paul Trent spotted it too -- a round, shiny, wingless object hovering in the sky.
The 43-year-old farmer managed to take two photographs before the flying object disappeared into the evening mist.
