Federal Agents Report Unidentified Phenomena in the American West

About 20 minutes later, another similar object lit up in the sky over another hillside slightly to the right of front, several miles away, for only a second or two. While lit, three evenly-spaced red lights flew out and away from it moving fast. Simultaneously a brief flash appeared from over the horizon to the left, lighting up the sky.

The object

An orange/glowing ball that lit briefly, emitting three evenly-spaced red lights that flew away quickly.

The experience repeated about twenty minutes later, with the orange ball appearing to the front and slightly to the left. This time the red lights left in a different pattern: one flew straight out, one flew up horizontally, and another flew down horizontally, appearing to fly away in a vertical alignment of three lights. A flash accompanied this event as well.

The object

An orange ball emitting three red lights that departed in a vertical alignment, accompanied by a horizon flash.

While driving, the witnesses gained on a car ahead that had mismatched taillights (one red and one white, one round and one square). As an oncoming vehicle was about to pass it, the car moved off the road to the right; the oncoming vehicle passed as if it did not see it. The object did not bounce with the terrain but seemed to hover, kicked up no dust, and stopped with its lights facing the witnesses regardless of their direction. When the witnesses stopped, the lights turned off and a darker object was seen moving up and behind them as it flew away. No sound was heard with windows rolled down. It reminded the witness of a Toyota Prius, though its shape was hard to identify.

The object

A car-like object with mismatched taillights (red/white, round/square) that hovered, kicked up no dust, and was hard to define in shape; reminiscent of a Toyota Prius.

About an hour or two after the road encounter, while stopped, the witnesses observed dust and thick spider-web-looking material floating in front of them, then saw what looked like the same object floating in a more vertical orientation amid the dust, about 15-20 feet up. The two light spots (one round, one square) were visible but unlit. A star, the crest of the hill, and vegetation could be seen through the object, like looking at something through water; its shape and borders remained hard to define.
