March 23/24, 1966; Bangor, ME
11:50 PM EST. A yellowish elliptical object with a textured surface (compare to March 20, Dexter, Michigan) and blue and white body lights was encountered hovering just off the ground near the road. The object had rotating lights resembling windows, and emitted a soft electrical humming sound. When the object moved toward him, the motorist's car lights dimmed and his radio stopped playing (EM effects). The frightened witness took a pistol from his car, and when he fired it, the object glowed brightly and took off at high speed, making a "zinging" sound like the recoil of a spring. (NICAP report; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. Ill, No. 7, Mar.-Apr. 1966, p. 3; New York News, Mar. 25, 1966).

SAUCER SIGHTINGS VEX CAPITOL HILL
The article mentions several UFO sightings including that of
John King, a 22-year-old, Bangor, Maine, man said he shot four
times at a 60-foot-long glowing object and hit it. It
then zoomed
skyward, he said. "I could hear the elderberry bushes scraping
as the thing came towards me," he said.
