Area darkens, large disc tilts by television tower. 1.5m monster seen. Light ray.
Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and monstrous occupants. One disc was observed by two children at an electric plant for two minutes. One 5-foot-tall creature-like being was seen.
Two young boys were playing in a yard near a large TV antenna when suddenly the whole area around them darkened, they then noticed a hovering disc shaped craft just above the antenna. The object emitted multicolored rays of light and had an open hatch in its center section. A bright beam of light shot out of the opening and a strange medium sized being descended within the beam. The being was described as "ugly" with two large eyes and two antennas like protrusions on its head. A second similar being reportedly descended carrying a "laser" type gun and shot at a rock causing it to burn and explode. He was seen to bend down, touch the ground, and then spill a black liquid on it. Moments later a beam of light transported the beings back into the craft. The craft then shot away at high speed. Ground traces were reportedly found.
