Account

After other children left the field to go to the house, the witness stayed alone in the dark. A bright light behind him revealed a low saucer-shaped craft with spinning lights around its edge. It hovered, lit the area like daylight with a humming sound, then rose instantly high into the sky, and he ran home.
