Gary Yates, a local stonemason was working in his construction shelter covered with a tarp and illuminated with a halogen lamp when he suddenly was overcome with the feeling that he was being watched. Looking out under the tarp he was surprised to see a bright light, "like a car headlight, but smaller." The light pulsed and quickly grew in size over the roof of a nearby house. As the light got closer and closer to Yates, he was thrown back up against the bank. His next memory was of seeing the light receding away, and then it was gone. He briefly saw a figure with a gray face looking at him from within the light as it moved off. Going to a nearby convenience store he soon realized that he had lost 3 hours of time. The following morning he discovered a small object in his beard. The tightly curled organic object was about 4mm across, dark brown in color with golden, translucent edges. It resembled a ferrule as would encase a tiny blossom at the end of a stem. Some time later he discovered a short wound on his right hand side. This wound healed rapidly. Soon after Gary experienced "bad dreams" and the radio in the bedroom would come on by itself. The phone also experienced heavy static. No hypnotic regression was attempted.
