Witness Testimony

"Night of a full moon, noticed another bright moving light in the sky which appeared to be a helicopter with a search light, but moved in an unusual curvilinear path. watched the craft move at varying altitudes and speeds. seemed to be searching for something on the ground. seen from a distance of approximately 2 miles away, the craft primarily remained above corn and soybean fields. lights on the bottom of the craft changed colors from a yellowish hue to white and then to blueishlike color. after several minutes, the lights turned off and the craft disappeared as it seemed to raise in altitude at a high rate of speed."
