Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. One white object, about fifty feet away, was observed in clear weather by one female 64-year-old witness in a city for over 75 minutes. No sound was heard.
The witness stepped out of her mobile home to get a breath of fresh air on her lattice-enclosed patio. As she did, she saw an object which had either landed or hovered very close to her nearby neighbor's mobile home roof and was facing her. She could see a large curved window with a thin strip down the middle, and there was a bright spotlight shining from the lower front of the object. No sound was heard. She then noticed a "pilot" with something fitted over his head, like a form fitting mask, which was motionless. She could not distinguish any features. Then, two doors swung open and several small entities exited. She could not see their shapes or how they moved. The bright light was directed at her and she thought she was being watched. Frightened she went back into the house and noticed that the beam of light was now illuminated its interior. The witness continued to watch the object as it moved around the trailer court, occasionally stopping, hovering, and shining its light on various mobile homes.
