SIGHTING: MALAD CITY, IDAHO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"At 11:30 P.M. my brother and I drove to a nearby lake know as Devil's Creek. We were there for about 25 minutes talking about personal problems when we saw a brightening orb that moved slowly at first. We initially thought that it was an asteroid. It then immediately increased in speed and curved downward until it seemed to explode over the nearby town of Weston. The explosion was so brilliantly bright that it lit up the entire lake as though it was daytime. Immediately following the incident, an extraordinary amount of planes began to swarm to the area. Within the following 15 I counted over 20 planes and two helicopters. The helicopters flew so low, the lights pulsating on them lit up the area around us. We noticed that after the sighting the sky around the mountains and directly above the "crash" pulsed with light. It looked as though smoke were dissipating within a number of milliseconds. I was flabbergasted. It has been my first time seeing anything. Since then I have a fear of sleep or the subject of extra-terrestrials. I am afraid to close my eyes, whereas previously I enjoyed the discussion of inter-planetary life. I was changed emotionally and I have definitely changed in my personal beliefs on this subject."
