 Tuesday, November 5, 1957 Object in the Skies

I ironed. We looked over catalogs. Dawn brought Betty home from school. Then Betty up to Dawn’s for supper and all night. Today an unidentified object has been seen in the sky. They think it is from another planet. Pig went today.

A cold day, fair. Mama went to East Stoneham and Paris with Aunt Ava. I cleaned the living room. Churned. Betty to movies with Holly tonight. Lloyd came up tonight and cut up the pig. Took the hams down to Chapmans to be sent down to be smoked.

These days are great and exciting days for the whole world. With two Russian satellites in the sky. Last one sent into space has a dog in it. They have been seen by many people. Passed over New England early this morning. The unidentified object in the sky is still seen and is expected to come from some planet, probably from Venus. We were warned that they were coming to earth in November. Dawn up this morning.
