Evening. A ranch family [husband, wife, and child{age not given}] witnessed a bright white light moving off the nearby mountain towards their home. It settled between the house and the corral, which is several hundred yards away, but its exact distance couldn’t be judged. It seemed the size of a large beachball. It hovered there sputtering and sending off sparks “like a fourth of July sparkler”. Although generally staying in place, it “oscillated” back and forth in a horizontal plane, roughly. It remained in this mode for several minutes, during which time the family had a huge amount of static on their radio. The thing finally left the area, returning to the top of the mountain ridge by the route it had come. Everything seeming to have now returned to normal, the family ultimately turned in for the evening. The next morning, upon arising, the family discovered that all of their electric clocks were running three hours slow. Although several of their neighbors told them that they had seen an unusual light that evening, none of them experienced any electrical anomalies. (Submitted by Mike Swords.
