Two men driving outside the city noticed an orange glow ahead as they passed, the orange light began to follow the car.

Witnesses stopped the car to look and saw that the light was an object in the shape of an orange plate. Witnesses tried to drive away, but the car wouldn't start.

Then the object shot a beam of light from its bottom, and something like black "shapes" floated to the ground inside the beam. Moments later, the two men heard a commotion from a nearby field and saw figures approaching.

There was a loud squeal and a huge black creature with bat-like wings suddenly jumped up right next to the car.

The creature walked around the car and looked at witnesses, who reported that it had a flat APE-like nose, and started jumping up and down, making loud screeching noises.
