An unidentified object at close range and its occupants, about 20 feet across, were observed by four male witnesses on a highway (Halstead; Mallette; Scanberry; Scarberry; Watson). One 6.5-foot-tall mothman was seen.
At 21:00 Mr. and Mrs Raymond Wamsley and Mrs Marcella Bennett were driving to the house of Ralph Thomas, they saw a big red light maneuvering over the TNT dump area. When they arrived and gout out, a "big gray thing bigger than a man, with glowing red eyes" rose up from the ground. They ran into the house, but the creature shuffled onto the porch and peered into windows. It was gone by the time police arrived. At midnight, Mr. and Mrs Steve Mallette and Mr. and Mrs Roger Scarberry reported that their car was followed about midnight by a gray "bird like creature" 6-7 ft tall with a 10 foot wingspan.
