SUBJECT: 3/88 ERIE US COAST GUARD UFO REPORT                 FILE: UFO1382

PART 6


      UDATE TO N.E. OHIO UFO FLAP:

      On Saturday, April 2, 1988 at about 3:15 P.M., Eastern
Time, a flat black helicopter was reported to fly at tree-top
level over the N.E. Ohio home of one of the witnesses whose
prior sighting has been filed with MUFON by Dale B. Wedge and
Rick Dell'Aquila, and recounted on Paranet (see 1395.UFO & 1396).
The helicopter was observed by at least 5 individuals from three
separate residences in the neighborhood, and was in sight for 2-
3 minutes.
      The unmarked and unlit helicopter had a military
appearance as it approached slowly from the west, making a loud
sound peculiarly similar to that made by a small airplane rather
than a helicopter.  The apparently windowless craft was observed
to fly eastward, before turning to the south and disappearing
over a line of trees.  It apparently caused "snow" on a
television screen.  The investigation of the continuing series
of UFO events in this area continues and updates will be
provided to MUFON and Paranet as they become available.
