The main witness and several of his friends set up camp in the backyard that adjoins the Golf course.

As he lay in the tent, he noticed a bright blue light coming from the Golf course. Opening the tent, he noticed an object that resembled a semi-dome with a small ledge coming out of the top of the dome.

The ship was oriented like a Crescent in a vertical position, not in a flat one. In addition, a cylindrical base was attached to the flat side of the dome. The object was moving from East to West along the fairway, and the witness lost sight of it at the far end of the fairway.

A few minutes later, his friends joined him, but they did not see the object.

They all went to bed. At about 02: 00, the witness woke up to relieve himself. As he climbed out of the tent, he noticed a faint blue glow in the West. Then the beam of his flashlight illuminated something about 20 feet (6 m) away. He could see that it was a human figure about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, standing motionless on the other side of a small fence. The figure's skin was grayish, and its eyes were bright yellow. He seemed to be wearing a tight gray suit.

The stunned witness stared at the creature for about 5 seconds, then it appeared to dive to the ground and disappear.

The next morning, the witness and his friends found a patch of flattened grass on a plot near a nearby quarry. Also, at the spot where the creature disappeared, they found the rough outline of a man in the grass, brown grass when the surrounding grass was green.
