A man named " Joe " and his family were camping when they saw an orange-blue streak of light across the evening sky, it crossed the horizon in seconds. They all witnessed the collision with elk mountain as a cloud of debris rose into the air. After about 10 minutes, it started Smoking, and they could see that it was starting a fire.

His father, who had heavy equipment and was engaged in the logging trade, immediately went to the family home and took his equipment to the area. The fire moved quickly, nearly killing Joe's father and destroying his bulldozer, under which he took cover at the last moment. The firestorm had to be contained for two weeks.

The next morning, the military appeared, blocked highway 130 in the neighboring city of Saratoga, and imposed a quarantine, allowing no one to enter or leave. For several hours, phones, TVs, radios, and 2-way CB's were down all over the city, static was all they could get.

The next day, NASA cars, trucks, and even limousines with NASA logos began to appear. Joe noticed a crowd of people gathered on the corner.

Curious, he walked closer and saw two large trucks with flat trailers. There was a huge oblong egg-shaped lump under the traps and nets, it was so big and heavy that the trailer scraped the ground.

They even had to raise power lines for this to pass through the city. During this ordeal, there was no communication in or out of the city, no Newspapers, nothing.

After this incident, the Newspapers wrote only about the fire and nothing else.
