The record

From The Witness'S E-Mail Report: "I Definitely Know That The Time Was 4:01 When I First Spotted The Objects. I Watched Them For A Couple Minutes (Less Than 5) And Thought That The Small One Was Definitely Going To Be Swallowed Up By The Larger One. I Went To Get My Son And/Or His Friends To Watch This With Me (And For A Witness). They Would Not Come. I Went Back And The Objects Were Gone. I Remember Driving Home In Reverse The First Time To Try To Get My Son, But Don'T Remember How I Got There The Second Time. When I Got Back Home, I Immediately Grabbed The Phone Book And Made A Few Calls, Leaving A Message With You. I Was Then In The Restroom For 10 Minutes. When I Came Out, It Was Almost 5:00 Am. I Don'T Know Where The Time Went. I Was Mentioning This To The Kids, Going Over The Time Frame, And They Said That When I Left To Go Back And Look At The Objects, I Was Gone For A Long Time. This Wasn'T So. I Immediately Returned As The Objects Were Gone. They Then Told Me That They Had Time To Play Three Computer Games While I Was Gone. I Think I'M Missing About 1/2 An Hour, Maybe A Little More. I Am Awaiting Records From The Phone Company To See What Time I Placed The Call To You. It Should Have Been Close To 4:10 Am. If It Is Much Later, I Will Be Very Surprised."

Impressions
This 38-year-old software engineer is very credible in her reporting. However, she states she had been attending her 20-year high school reunion at a nearby casino, and had been drinking beer during the event, stopping at midnight and had only water until 3:15 when she ordered take-home food. She had this sighting prior to eating, however. No other witnesses - CLOSED.
