I wish to report having seen a "flying saucer" on July 4, 1917, traveling past over East Trenton at 11:10 p.m. It may "flying" high and fast, was self-brainous with no tail or halo. The moonlight was bright at the time and I was standing on the southbound platform of the East Trenton station on the heading railroad.
