The whole UFO case report:
“Fran Ridge:
March 15, 1965; Everglades, Florida
Bt. 1-2 AM. Hovering cone-shaped object, animal
reaction. Witness struck on forehead by light beam, unconscious, eye damage.
Damaged foliage found at site. While
camped in the Everglades training hunting dogs, James W. Flynn, 45, spotted a
bright yellow light oscillating back and forth. He drove his swamp buggy within
400 yards
to investigate, then dismounted and proceeded on foot. As he neared, Flynn saw
a brightly illuminated cone-shaped object emitting a loud whirring noise. Four
tiers of windows were visible around the side. When within about 150 feet of the UFO, Flynn
suddenly felt a ‘sledgehammer’ blow and was knocked unconscious. Many hours
later, when he awoke, he was partially blinded but could see a black, oily
looking circle on the ground below the position where the UFO had hovered.
After stopping at an Indian village for aid, Flynn made his way back to Fort
Myers and entered the hospital. (UFOE II, Section I).”
