The four men were driving in a car Park to work at the Tobyhanna army depot. In the Pocono area, they watched a small round, blurry "cloud" suddenly descend from the South. 

The sun was to their left, the sky was bright, daylight with some (normal) clouds. As they watched the cloud in front of them, moving on the Expressway, they watched it change color to a bright silver and float, though it swayed from side to side. It looked hard and metallic now. 

It rose slightly and flew away to the South-East at a speed of "800-900 miles an hour."
