The duration of 5 minutes by two witnesses. 

The woman in charge, a Secretary in the Executive office, was driving, which she said was most unusual for her. She was about to stop for coffee when she saw three glowing objects in the sky and drove past a local pancake house so engrossed in them.

Suddenly, objects disappear, turning into "something like clouds of smoke." A minute later, one of them reappears "right above the street in front of me, so close that I could count the lights at the bottom of the object if I didn't panic." 

She turns into the Parking lot of the nearby Admiral Benbow hotel, rushes to the door, and calls the night watchman. It also sees the object. 

She didn't want to go outside, but the caretaker noticed that it hovered over her car and rose above the hotel. The discovery was reported to the police.
