57-year old Katherine L. Jones and her boyfriend were in the front porch of her home located on a high ridge in the city watching what appeared to be dense fog approaching when the "fog" seemed to divide, forming a cylinder of bright light about 3 feet in front of them. They both stepped off the porch and approached the beam, both of them attempting to enter the cylinder of light but as they stepped forward, the beam moved back several feet. They continue to chase the beam around the yard but it would not allow them to "enter" it. When they turned away from the beam and walked away the beam followed them, staying close to their heels. Jones's boyfriend continued to walk around the yard and the beam followed his movements but whenever he attempted to enter it, the beam would move away a few feet. At one point Katherine was able to peer inside the beam which contained a very bright shutter-like opening deep within the interior. When they stepped back into the porch they noticed the ground beneath the beam appeared to be bubbling with thick plasma like substance although no heat was felt. The incident lasted for about 10 minutes. The next day Katherine surveyed her yard for evidence but found nothing. The only thing odd she noticed was that the water level in her swimming pool had dropped almost a foot.
