Witness observed a single cigar-shaped, black object approximately the size of three football fields flying at four stories altitude, traveling east to west. The craft appeared as if it were about to crash but then picked up momentum and departed toward outer space. It emitted sparks from the front, had fixed antennas, railing along the side, and produced gray smoke in a spiral shape from behind. Sound resembled a tailpipe dragging on the ground. The object passed within 500 feet of the witness and overhead. Witness reported psychological and bodily after-effects and felt the craft may have been from another dimension.
