Account

With the same friend around 2009-2010 on a cold snowy night, the witness watched a fiery rock-like light stop over the bay and reflect on water. After he flashed SOS, it approached the ridge, grew to about 300 feet across, winked out edge-to-center and reappeared higher. They drove to the pavement and sortyard where it passed directly over the truck in silence.
