Initial data
Norman Chastain was fishing late at night in the St. Johns river when he saw what appeared to be a "half-balloon" with orange and blue flashing lights that "flew straight to my boat" and hovered silently overhead at an altitude of 150 feet (45.6 m).
He turned off the light and the object moved slowly away. He drifted ashore and with his searchlight saw in a nearby forest "the most horrible-looking humanoid creature imaginable."
The bright white light that had paralyzed him until morning immediately startled him. He noticed an "overpowering stench" in his clothes and hair and threw the clothes away.
Three nights later, he smelled the same smell again, and in the morning, he found a mushroom-like shape. It was "a group of several flesh-colored heads looking at me."
He said they "had teeth, big eyes, a wide mouth and pointed ears." And it looked "like the devil-like creature I saw on the island."

Summary: Norman Chastain was out fishing late at night in the St. Johns River when he saw something like “half a ball” with orange and blue flashing lights, which came “directly toward my boat” and hovered noiselessly overhead at 150 feet. He turned off his light and the object slowly moved off. He had drifted ashore and with his spotlight saw in the nearby woods “the darndest looking human-like creature one could ever imagine.” A brilliant white light that paralyzed him until morning immediately hit him. He noticed an “overpowering stench” in his clothes and hair, and threw away the clothes. Three nights later he smelt the same odor again, and in the morning found a fungus like growth similar to “a cluster of several flesh colored heads looking at me;” he said they “had teeth, big eyes, a wide mouth, and pointed ears,” and looked “like the devil looking creature I saw on the island.” (Blount Island).
