1:35 A.M. observed descent of
red and green object into ravine
a few yards north of position.
object was clearly defined saucer
shape glowing red with greenish
upper surface. Unable to
determine size but it appeared
small. At first though it
descended over hill in background
but inspection of terrain with
searchlight indicates it
landed directly behind trees
only a short distance away.
Awaiting developments (1:45)
Scared - damn it.
2:00 A.M. - Drove to turn-around
point, turned and returned to
original parking position - unable
to see anything in ravine - no
lights or signs of activity.
(4-3-67) Still scared - not anxious
to get out of car. feel
object is in ravine.
2:25 A.M. - Observed orange UFO
maneuver and descend in northwest in
distance. Suddenly disappeared.
No sign of moon which was supposed to
rise at 1:59 A.M.
2:35 - Aware of what seemed to be
a flash of pale pink light behind
me. Similar flashed seemed to occur
a few minutes ago but I decided
it was my imagination. No sounds
or movements outside. Still trying
to muster courage to leave car and
look around. I feel "they" are
very nearby.
