William J. Lestin and his wife were driving to a Motel when they saw a glowing disk settling to the ground 100 yards (90 m) away. He got out of the car and approached it at 50 feet( 15.2 m), finding a round object standing on a tripod chassis. 

Two four-foot-tall (1.2 m) creatures, similar to humans, but with their arms hanging to the ground, were moving under it. They were "clearly covered in a greyish glaze" and wore helmets. 

As he watched, a door opened and a ramp descended. 2 humanoids boarded again, and the object rose with a blinding red light. 

Lestin was scared and had to take sedatives. The entire incident lasted more than 5 minutes.
