At 2:30 a.m., Frank
Riley [pseudonym], a police officer with a
military background, observed what appeared at
first to be a shooting star over the Blue Ridge
area of Seymour Mountain. Through the bathroom
window he observed three red and white pulsating
cylindrical lights. The sensor alarm in the patio
was activated and the light which illuminated the
lane went out. One of his dogs, outside the house,
started to whine. Panic-stricken, Frank tried to
wake up his wife, but it took all his effort to
awaken her for just a brief moment before she fell
back to sleep "like a rag doll." This had never
happened before. Their nine-month-old child was
"giggling" in the other room - another unusual
occurrence. By 3:00 a.m., the lights had
disappeared. Frank remarked that he had never been
so frightened in his life.
