Initial data
Members of a rock band practicing in a barn went outside and saw an unusual figure hovering low over the maintenance building and chimney of the Carolina Power & Light nuclear power plant half a mile to their northeast.
The egg-shaped object, seen mainly by its lights in the clear twilight sky, had two huge bright yellowish-white rays of light. After hovering motionless for 2-5 minutes, all the lights went out except the blue one. The UFO flew away and disappeared in "three blinks of an eye".
About five minutes later, a second observation occurred. It hovered to the right of the nuclear power plant and directed a beam of light at it, hovering for another 2-5 minutes. The second object flew to the Northwest.
No one at the station reported anything unusual to the security chief.

Summary: Members of a rock band practicing in a barn stepped outside to watch an unusual form hovering low over the containment building and smokestack of the Carolina Power & Light nuclear power plant one half mile away to their northeast. An ovoid shaped object, seen primarily by its lights in the clear dusk sky, had two huge bright yellowish-white beams of light. After hovering motionless for 2-5 minutes all the lights faded except a blue light. The UFO moved off and was gone in “three blinks of the eye.” After about five minutes, a second sighting took place. It hovered to the right of the nuclear power plant and directed a beam of light at it while hovering for another 2-5 minutes. The second object flew off toward the northwest. No one at the power plant reported seeing anything unusual to the chief of security.
