He got out of the car and watched object linger overhead about 20 seconds, then point its nose at 45° angle, accelerate and climb to disappearance in 30-40 seconds to the east and slightly to right of the full moon (96° azimuth 35° elevation) at tremendous speed. An object was observed. Electromagnetic effects were noted.One orange blimp-like object, , around 500 feet away, was observed in clear weather by one experienced male military witness on a highway for one minute (James Allen).
