George Equils, Gordon Street, Beaufort, reported to the newspaper Wednesday morning that (he observed ? strange light In the sky In the east from 12:40 a.m. to 3 a.m. Wednesday. Mrs. Eq tills said the light looked "like a bunch of lights, real bright, sometimes blinking". She further described the object as looking more like the color of street lights than stars, occasionally flashing blue and green, the whole cluster being about "as big as a dishpan". In the period Mrs. Equils watched the light, she said it moved from her left to right. She said she called one of her sons to look at it and he told her to go back to bed, it was just a star, but she claims she never saw a star that big. J. 0. Barbour Jr., Beaufort, amateur astronomer, said it is possible that Mrs. Equils may have seen a plastic weather bal loon. "They are tremendous things. It was full moon and it is possible that the shiny plastic was reflect ing the light of the moon," Mr. Barbour commented. Anything drifting in the sky, he continued, seems to the observer to move from a left to right di rection, due to the rotation of the earth. He said that many of the "fly ing saucers" ?een in recent years have turned out to be weather balloons (rom whlclj light Was re flecting.
