The witnesses were driving along a rural road and had just topped a hill. Below them in the road was what appeared to be a gigantic pile of 'tumbleweeds'. The witnesses had stopped the car and were trying to decide why this unusual sight was blocking the road and trying to determine what to do. Suddenly the entire gigantic pile of tumbleweeds lifted up slowly, then hovered for a few seconds before going straight up into the sky. There was no wind. The witnesses watched this object go up until it disappeared. After this sighting one of the witnesses developed unusual powers of mind reading and levitation. This lasted a few weeks but was so frightening that the person consciously stopped. The persons involved were a brother and sister and did not talk about the experience for decades..not even to each other. They both believe they lost time during the encounter.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD))
