Initial data
At 21: 32, a couple, their two sons and their dog were driving to their home in an orange grove near Apopka.
About 1,000 feet (304 m) to their right and about 100 feet (30.4 m) above the ground, an oval green object was seen. The object was moving over their car at a height approximately equal to the height of power lines, and was moving over their car for a mile (1.6 km). The dog in the car did not react to the presence of the object.
When the couple arrived home, it was noticed that the object was moving at a low altitude, leaving a fog behind it, and then moved away.
The second dog, who lived next door to the couple, ran off howling shortly before a car with witnesses pulled up to see the object fly over the area for the last time.
The object was a glowing green oval. It had a smaller blue ring, about 20 feet (6 m) in diameter, and one witness thought that this ring was pressed into the object.
[from the author: It is not clear whether the blue ring was on the circumference of the oval or in some other position - jw.]
The object had indistinct edges, and the lower part was convex.
When the witnesses arrived home and moved from the car to the house, the object made a smooth, close view of the area, leaving behind a fog about 20 feet wide (6 m), which emitted an Apple-green light. The mist hung in the air, spread evenly, lost its radiance, and then dissipated. It was noted that he did not fall to the ground.
No electromagnetic effects, sounds, or physiological effects were reported.

Summary: Animal Reaction Feature: At 9:32 p.m., a couple, their two sons, and their dog were driving toward their home in an orange grove area near Apopka. An oval green object was seen about 1,000 feet to their right and about 100 feet above the ground. The object moved in over their car at an altitude roughly equivalent to the height of the power lines, and it paced their car for a mile. The dog in the car did not react to the object’s presence. As the couple arrived home, the object was seen to move in a low level sweep, leaving mist behind it, and it then moved away. A second dog, which lived next door to the couple, ran off howling just before the car with the witnesses arrived home to see the final sweep of the object over the area and its departure.
The sighting: The object was a glowing green oval. It had a smaller blue ring, estimated 20 feet in diameter, and one witness thought this ring was depressed into the object. [It is not clear if the blue ring was around the circumference of the oval or in some other position—jw.] The object had a hazy edge and the bottom was convex. When the witnesses arrived home and moved from the car to the house, the object made a level, close sweep of the area leaving a trail of mist about 20 feet wide that gave off an apple-green light. The mist hung in the air, spread out evenly, lost its glow, and then dissipated. It was noted that it did not fall to the ground. No EM effects, no sounds, and no physiological effects were reported.
