GASPORT. Niagara County sheriff's deputies were summoned late Saturday and early Sunday to investigate "strange lights," reportedly observed near here.

The first call came from Donold A. Perry, of 3760 Quaker Road, Gasport, who said that his 11 year-old daughter, Lindy, looked out a window and saw a "whitish light, like a ball of light" falling at about 9 p.m. Saturday in the Quaker-Stayton Settlement Road area between this community and the City of Lockport.

Eugene F. Naish, of 3716 Hartland Road, here, called deputies about midnight and said that he had seen a yellowish light about 9 p.m. Saturday in the same general area.

He said that he was working at a dance at the Gasport Fire Hall and saw the light when he stepped outside for some fresh air. He said he first thought it was a light on a snowmobile on a hill.

He told deputies he and another member of the fire company checked the area but could find no trace of snowmobile tracks.
