Thunder, a 175-pound great Dane, "went crazy" and barked for 3 minutes. Its owner, Cindy Tillison, went to see what was going on. Thunder stood at the kitchen sliding doors and barked at the woods.

When tillison looked, She saw a huge V-shaped object. The object remained for 20 minutes, and all the while the Thunder looked scared and continuously barked with its ears up. 

The next day, he refused to come out.

The V-shaped object glowed a very bright chestnut color and had lights similar to headlights, but much larger. When tillison turned the floodlights on and off, the object seemed to move in response, after which She left the lights off. 

During 20 minutes of observation, the object emitted a large steady beam of light, apparently from its center. The beam was very wide, estimated to be slightly less than half the size of the object. 

The big round lights changed, went out [and turned on? - Jw] and changed the color. The object disappeared when the witness wasn't looking.

Summary:  Thunder, a 175-pound Great Dane, “went crazy” and barked for 3 minutes. His owner, Cindy Tillison, went to see what was going on. Thunder was standing at the sliding doors in the kitchen barking toward the woods. When Tillison looked, she saw a huge V-shaped object. The object remained for 20 minutes and, throughout this time, Thunder appeared frightened and barked continuously with ears straight up. The next day he refused to go out. The V-shaped object was glowing a very bright auburn color and had lights similar to headlights but much larger.  When Tillison flicked her floodlights on and off, the object appeared to move in response, after which she left the lights off.  During the 20 minutes of observation, the object projected a big, steady beam of light, seemingly from its center.  The beam was very wide, estimated a little less than half the size of the object.  The big round lights did change, going off [and on?—jw] and changing colors.  The object disappeared when the witness was not looking.
