The witness ' mother and he were driving to a local pharmacy when suddenly he saw a very bright light right next to the car. He tapped his mother on the shoulder to get her attention. 

The lantern was shaped like a disk and remained near the car for several minutes until they decided to stop under the lantern and look at it. The light suddenly flew away at an incredible speed, in the blink of an eye it was there, and the next it was gone. 

Around the same time, two teenage boys were walking down the street, possibly last night, when they noticed a strange "creature" (not described) following them. He seemed to be walking on four legs and moving very fast. 

The two boys were running with the creature close behind them, and they noticed that it seemed to be dodging the street lights. As soon as they noticed it, they stopped under a street lamp while the creature waited in the dark for a while, and then disappeared. 

When the boys got home, they told their parents what had happened.

The next morning, one of the teenagers was reported missing at his home, and a search was conducted, but his whereabouts remain unknown.
