Suddenly, she realized the sky was very bright. It had stopped snowing... there in back, about 60 feet above the ground was a huge glowing object.... it was phosphorus in color (i.e. white, very bright)... I couldn't look at the top... [she] fled to the house. She looked out the window and it was dark again."[footnote 2]
