Orb of Chatham
On a summer night in 1935, five people witnessed a strange object rolling into Chatham, Massachusetts, a seaside town on the outer elbow of Cape Cod. (From left to right) Herbert Eldredge, Margaret Snow, Walter Snow, "Gus" Nickerson, and Isabel Porter all reported seeing a black, metallic orb either moving through the streets, hovering in front of the church tower, or rolling through the rooms of a house. Their reports were dismissed as hoaxes.
Two months later to the day on Halloween, all five people mysteriously vanished and were never seen again.

nooooooooooooooooo. is that for real?
p.s. i highly recommend checking out www.weirdnj.com
you see, my problem is, i comment too soon.
thats cool, do you know whats in the book?
i'll check out weird.nj. I've looked at the weird new england book--some freaky stuff in there.
I looked at the book and it just tells of the journey that the orb made through Chatham. An illustrator/graphic designer who lives in Chatham wrote the book. I don't know the whole back story but there is a lot of weird relationships between these seemingly unrelated people (except for margaret and walter snow--they were married). and the disappearance of all five people has never been explained.
yeah the book freaked me out. must be aliens or something.
yeah, i remember looking at it when we were up in gloucester in september at the beach house.
wait, so is it really a true story?
the story of the orb of chatham is true. Those people really saw something and they really disappeared two months later. I don't know what the explanation is for either of these two events.
The orb of chatham website has more information, but a huge amount of it is inaccessible unless you have a code to access it. You have to solve a puzzle that's related to the book to find the code. There are instructions on the website.
