United States

Officer John W. Bruner, a Deputy Sheriff, was on duty and was the first to notice the phenomenon. 

Officer Bruner and his partner, officer coogler, were parked West of the site, which appeared to be about 1/2 to 1 mile away. Bruner and Kugler got out of the car and tried to get a better look at the object by shining their light on it.

 The subject moved toward the men, and the officers turned off the lights because they became nervous when they saw the subject's reaction to their light. Then the object returned to its first place. The two officers agreed that the facility had six portholes surrounding a kind of frame.

Two officers watched the UFO for about 45 minutes. At that time, the UFO seemed to stop in the air, pulsating, traveling at an incredible speed and flying with unstable mobility. 

Officers described the apparent size of the UFO as about the size of a grapefruit. Officer Bruner is convinced that the object he saw was not a balloon or helicopter.
