Summary/Description: This photo was taken by the submitter’s father, Edward Pline, at the sawmill in Ward where they lived at the time. He thinks it was 1929 and somehow the month of April was mentioned in the original post. He was about six years old then. His father was there to photograph the sawmill for some reason or another, and, allegedly, as he was taking the photo, he described a “terrible thunderous bellow,” and a large round thing as big as a very large boulder that moved through the air above them.
You can see it in the picture. None of the sawmill workers saw the thing in the photo, but they all heard the sound and felt the ground shudder. Later in my life I tried researching the incident at the County Historical Society, but I did not find any references to it. My father passed on a few years after the incident, and I have not found any surviving sawmill workers from that time. Perhaps you have more information about this incident.
— Best wishes, Hetty Pline
