A 77-year-old man was woken up by a border collie and went outside to look. 

When he opened the back door, he saw a uniformly glowing "ball", 6-7 feet (1.8-2.1 m) in diameter and excessively bright. His dog came forward and watched as it hovered over the rock at 60 feet - 100 feet (18-30 m) or less. 

After 4-5 minutes, he slowly moved through the trees to the southwest. Running up to the house, he saw an identical figure at an altitude of 70 feet (21 m) and moving noiselessly to the Northwest. It took him 3-4 minutes to get through the trees.

The observation lasted 10-13 minutes.
