Account

While camped above the ocean in sleeping bags, the guest and a friend watched a huge black craft shaped with a curved front and narrow neck move jerkily north. It projected a black beam and instantly jumped to that spot. It crossed over Kings Peak, dropped into a creek drainage, and disappeared.
