A “flying-cup-and-saucer” captured on April 1, 1977 in Du Bois, PA by Cleveland photographer Mark Madere

April 1st marks the 44th anniversary of the day I captured a “flying cup-and-saucer” hovering over a local fast-food restaurant in the sleepy town of Du Bois, PA.

Although I've lived in Cleveland since 1980, I was born and raised in Du Bois. During my senior year in high school, there were several reported UFO sightings in the area. On the evening of April 1st, 1977 – I was cruising down “The Boulevard” when the flying cup-and-saucer caught my eye as it swooped in from the east. I and the four teenagers in this photo were the only eye-witnesses of this amazing event. Fortunately I had my camera loaded with high speed film – ready to document this once-in-a-lifetime moment

Later that night, I captured a photo of four “Martians” 👽👽👽👽checking out some electronic gadgets at a local RadioShack. They appeared to take on the bodies of the four teenagers who witnessed the flying cup-and-saucer earlier that evening! Check out that photo and the article that appeared in the Du Bois Courier Express on April 1, 1977.

The next day, I sent the newspaper article to Corning – the company that makes dishes that look eerily similar to the flying cup-and-saucer. Check out the reply I received from the president of Corning Incorporated.

Happy April Fools Day!

  1. I remember you had a whole stack of prints you showed me from the DuBois days, and this was one of them! Kinda like being there when Ansel Adams photographed “Moonrise over Hernandez.” 😉

  2. I can remember this photo like it was yesterday. Hard to believe it was so long ago. Guess that means we are really getting OLD! That was the “good old days” and the best place to hang out (the only place)!
