1 cone-shaped object with whitish metal and a multicolored window which moved faster than the eye could follow & hovered. The Witness And His Friends Were Hiking. They Saw Lights In The Distance Maneuvering In Unusual And Erratic Ways. They Stopped To Watch For Awhile. One Of Them Got The Idea To Signal The Lights With Their Flashlights. One Of The Lights Broke From The Rest And Headed In Their Direction But Stopped About A Mile Away. Fearing That They Had Interfered With A Rescue Chopper They Stopped Signaling The Object. Then The Light Started Moving Slowly Toward Them Again. All Of A Sudden, The Light “Popped” From 1 Mile Away To Within 10 Feet Of Them. After Recovering From The Horrible Fright They Experienced, The Witnesses Saw The Outer Glow Of The Craft, Which Was Cone-Shaped, Go Out And Was Replaced By An Interior Light Which Seemed To Illuminate The Interior Of The Craft Somewhat. Through What They Called A “Lens”, Later Clarified As A Window, They Looked Into The Craft And Saw A Box. Shortly After That, The Craft Slowly Ascended Until It Flew Out Of View.
