The report includes details that the witness’s three dogs that were in the backyard stopped what they were doing and looked up and stared at the object.
“Then the bright light suddenly took off like a shooting start toward the east.”

Historic Massachusetts
A Massachusetts witness at East Boston recalled an encounter with three round, disc-shaped objects at 8 p.m. on June 30, 1971, according to testimony from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).
The witness report indicates that the witness was 9 years old and outside playing street hockey under the street lights with a group of friends. It was a foggy summer night, the report states, and the "street lights had a halo surrounding them from the fog." The incident date is approximate.
The witness said he stopped and looked up.
“Above us, about 8 stories up were three round, disc-shaped UFOs hovering and watching us playing hockey," the reporting witness stated. "My guess is they were about 5 to 6 feet in diameter and they gave off a dull light and were surrounded by halos just like the street light.”
The witness stated in the report that the objects “looked like the letter X” which covered most of the bottoms of the objects.
“These X's were a light gray or a duller light. When I looked up, they sat there for about 10 seconds, and then one of them started to fly off slowly. Then the other two followed.”
As the objects flew away, the witness observed that they “bounced like a rock skipping on water” and with no sound down the street.
The report included no images, filed on September 2, 2017. East Boston is a Boston neighborhood, population 40,508. Witness quotes were edited for clarity.
