I've frolfed at French Creek State Park.

(To the nonfrolfers, that means I played Frisbee golf there. The park has two scenic frolf courses.)

But a disc of another sort was spotted there last week.

According to western Pennsylvania UFO hunter Stan Gordon, three witnesses watched a yellow sphere on Thursday.

Gordon said he interviewed two of the three witnesses, both separately. They gave similar accounts.

At 7:52 p.m., a man was at a stop sign near his house when he noticed "a solid, large yellow sphere hovering low on the horizon."

The man said, "It took my breath away, as I had never seen anything like it."

The sphere wasn't actually emitting a yellow light but was yellow itself.

The object was not bright like a star or like Venus can sometimes be.

At this point, I'm going to tell you there's no punch line here.

If you're waiting for me to suggest the witnesses were actually watching someone frolf, it's not going to happen.

The witnesses are serious about this and so is Gordon, who declined to identify the witnesses.

"The man was very baffled by what he was seeing, and he realized that he needed someone else to confirm what he was seeing," Gordon reported. "He was so excited that he left his vehicle motor running and ran to a neighbor's house to tell them what he was watching."

The man's neighbors, a husband and wife, came outside to see the object.

The three then saw a blue flashing light at the top of the object, which then changed shape so that it looked like a top.

The object then silently disappeared, either vanishing or suddenly moving away so fast that it appeared to vanish.

The neighbor said the object seemed to "just shut off and nothing was there."

Gordon and the witnesses want to know if anyone else saw this object.

UFOs are actually fairly common in the area.

The Mutual UFO Network (www.mufon.com) reports four UFOs were spotted in Berks so far this year.

That doesn't count the French Creek incident, since the network has not received a report on that.

On Jan. 8, a worker at Reading Regional Airport with 8,000 hours of flight experience saw a circular UFO with a green light for about 10 seconds.

That's too far away from French Creek to be a disc from a frolfer.
