As told to ASD by phone (witness wishes to remain anonymous and did not want his phone number put in the report but I have it)"I was 11 years old at the time and was with my brother who was age 13 and my mother and grandmother. We were helping to take laundry off the line in the back yard of my grandmother's hose at dusk when we all noticed a very bright light in the sky that was on a straight-line path directly towards us from very high and far away but getting closer and closer to us very quickly, and getting larger in size as well. The object stopped right over the rail yard which was located right next to my grandmother's house. It was about 50' across. It hovered there, and we all just stood in amazement, wondering what the heck it was. After a few minutes more objects appeared. They came from far away in the sky and stopped on the left and right sides of the large object. The other objects were very small and there were a lot of them, maybe 20 or 30 total. They were all very bright white and you could tell there was a structure to them but the lights were so bright we could not see what the structure was. Then all of a sudden, they all shot straight up and out of sight in a second. The whole town saw it and talked about it for years afterwards. No one knew was the objects were, but we all agreed that they were most likely not from here (Earth)."
