A UFO incident, possibly involving "missing time," occurred
in Boswell, Pennsylvania on July 16, 1996. The town of
Boswell (population 1,480) is located in the Appalachian
Mountains on Pennsylvania Highway 601, about fifteen miles
southwest of Johnstown. The incident involved an elderly
couple, George and Edna P. and three of their neighbors.
According to George, a World War II veteran, "There were
five diamond-shaped objects varying in pulsating lights of blue,
red and green. They were soundless. About 180 feet (54.5
meters) up (above ground). They came and went at high rates
of speed."
George tried to look at them through a pair of binoculars.
He said he "couldn't take his eyes off the UFOs" and "an
overwhelming fear came over me." Suddenly, three jets
appeared on the horizon, and the UFOs took off "at an
incredible speed." The objects' departure was also seen by
three of their neighbors.
Although he has "long been a skeptic," considering UFOs
"so much tomfoolery," George has been troubled by the
encounter. After the sighting, he said, "I noticed that my watch
was an hour off." He has also reported having recurring dreams
in which a shadowy someone shoves something in his nose.
In addition, since the encounter, Edna has developed a
muscular problem with her arm that her doctor cannot explain.
