Initial data
Billy Joe Ladner, driving up to the mountain Cross, during a weekend of hunting, saw a flashing orange cigar-shaped object pass over his truck and then turn toward it.
(A UFO or other was previously spotted by a marine corps A-4C Skyhawk pilot flying from Beaufort, South Carolina, who reported over the radio that it was flying "very close to its wing.")
Ladner got out of his truck with his rifle walked in and saw the object landed in a clearing. Now he saw that it was a lens with a Central dome. It moved slowly towards the ravine where the object was located until it was 300 feet (90 m)and slightly higher.
He saw a door open to the side, and a small, stocky humanoid with a large head on a "skeletal" body came out of it, descending the ramp. His skin was gray and scaly, and his eyes were slit-like. When he approached the object, Ladner sent him your gun, but not fired.
The creature re-entered the UFO, where another appeared in the doorway to drag it inside. Then the object silently took off.
A later investigation found broken branches and burn marks at the site.

Billy Joe Lodnar, driving up Mt. Cross for a weekend of hunting, saw a blinking orange cigar shaped object pass over his truck and then turn back toward him. (The UFO, or another, had previously been seen by the pilot of a Marine A-4C Skyhawk flying from Beaufort, South Carolina, who radioed that it was flying “just off his wingtip.”) Lodnar got out of his truck with his rifle in had, and saw the object land in a clearing; he now saw that it was lens shaped with a central dome. He inched his way toward the gully where the object had settled until he was 300 feet away and somewhat above. He saw a door open on the side and a small, stocky humanoid with a large head on a “skeletal” body emerged, walking down a ramp. Its skin was gray and appeared scaly; the eyes were slit-like. As it walked around near the object, Lodnar trained his gun on it, but did not fire. The being re-entered the UFO, where another one appeared in the doorway to pull it inside. Then the object took off silently. In a later investigation on site, broken branches and scorch marks were found.
