Account

The witness and a companion were outside a rural farmhouse late at night when they noticed a bright light down the road. The light rapidly approached to within about 35 feet and hovered silently a few feet off the ground. After under a minute of observation, the companion retrieved a spotlight, and as soon as it was aimed the light vanished instantly. The witness checked the area the next day and found no marks or disturbance.
