WEATHER PARACHUTE LANDS AT LUCASVILLE
Fairgrounds on List Of 'Flying Saucer' Areas
Lucasville was added under the growing list of communities which can boast that a "saucer fell here."
Earl Waddell, Lucasville painter, found the "saucer" at Lucasville fairgrounds where he was painting the buildings.
The contraption appeared to be made of tinfoil and is triangular-shaped and apparently was dropped during the night by an army plane making weather observations.
The "saucer" is on display at Green Lantern restaurant, Lucasville.
Weather observation parachutes have fallen at Rarden and on A. F. Millar farm on Scioto tra?? [Portsmouth is in Scioto County]
