Description: Listen to Clip of Interview With Witness's Mother (MP3)
I had a long conversation with the witness's mother. A portion of that interview is included in the above recording. The woman's 18 year old son was out (against his parents' wishes) to visit a friend. He returned about 2:30 AM. He was followed by a large light on his walk home. The light came close and shined a beam of light on him. He fled to his room (crawled through the window). The light continued to pursue him and "rendered him motionless" by some force. The boy said that he saw small beings approach. They were about 4 feet tall with "legs that were reversed." He doesn't recall their faces. The encounter last about 15 minutes. The parents both awoke at the time and heard a roar outside like a "tornado" was blowing a tree. However, they did not arise to check out the disturbance. The next day one of her son's friends mentioned the sighting to the mother. She then questioned her son and he related his story. He is reluctant to share his story with any investigators. He drew some diagrams of the craft and of the entities. The witness's mother said she would scan and send the drawings. The mother said that her son does not lie or tell stories. He had one beer the night of the encounter, but does not have a drug problem.

Note: I have requested that the witness look at the area where the alleged craft was located to see if any disturbance was present (burn marks, dead vegetation, etc). I recommended collection of samples and that photos be taken if any disturbance was located. This is a very remarkable report. I found the witness's mother to be quite sincere and credible.

Update - April 29, 2009: The witness provided a sketch of his sighting. (See above.) The witness's mother added the following information:

My husband and I checked out the area and did not see anything unusual. No burn marks or any weird marks on the tree that we could see. My son always slept with his window unlocked, but now both of his windows are locked. I know this has him scared and me too in so many ways.

I wanted to explain the picture. The yellow ball in the center was the energy field. If you zoom in you can see how he drew the energy force beams pulsating. The stick person his him in comparison. He has a really bad cough. He says he doesn't feel well. I have not seen any marks on him.

Update - May 27, 2009: The above hourly wind graphic shows that official wind speeds were only about 5 MPH (with no gusts) at the time of sighting. Therefore the "tornado-like" or strong wind reported by the witness and his parents cannot be explained by weather conditions.
