After red luminous UFO ascended from site, two of three witnesses drove to landing site. Saw big, tall, heavy set man approach from light on hill. Called out but got no answer, fled. Charred vegetation.
An object was observed. Traces found. One red oval object, about 20 feet across, was observed by three male witnesses on a farm (Plasters). A high-pitched sound was heard. One giant was seen.
Three observers saw a nearby hillside lit up by a bright yellow light; a red luminous object was seen ascending from the site. The object, about the size of a Volkswagen, hovered at approximately 300 feet above the hill and went through a series of right angle turns, then headed south toward Stuart. Billy Wayne Plasters and Richard N Clifton drove to the landing site by truck and observed the silhouette of a "big, tall, heavy set man" approach from a lighted area. They called out and got no answer; frightened, they jumped in their truck and fled. The light on the hillside disappeared a few minutes later. Next day, patches of charred vegetation were found at the site, covering a large area. Others in the vicinity reported seeing strange lights on the same night, and hearing unexplained noises.
