CLEVELAND (UPI) - A Cleveland woman said she saw an unidentified flying object land in a field in suburban Olmsted Township early Monday morning. but a search of the area by police was futile.

"When I first saw it," said Mrs. Barbara Marquardt, "it only looked about a foot in diameter, but it was up high. It was a really loud green. Real bright. I never saw anything like this before."

Mrs. Marquardt, 20, spotted the object in the sky at 3.30 a.m. and said it traveled over her car and descended on a curve to the surface of the field. "We couldn't locate anything back there," said Police Chief Richard Masielle, who led the search for the object. "But it's a large field. We combed it as much as we could. The field is filled with thick underbrush and pricker bushes."
