Initial data
john byrne was driving home from work on candlewood lake road when he thought he saw a plane flying low in the sky.
the object flew over the trees to the left, and he didn't hear anything like a crash, so it didn't bother him. And then, driving along the road to the airport, he noticed that four cars had stopped without lights, mostly on the side of the road. he turned on the headlights and the car stalled. He had no electricity at all, not even a radio or headlights.
he got out and walked over to the other cars. All the drivers - three men and a woman-got out of their cars. They told Byrne that they had seen a very large and bright plane flying over the hill, which seemed to be falling over the hill to the west.
They described the object as having all white and amber lights, very large, triangular in shape, and completely silent. When the object flew over them, their cars just died. At this time, two more cars were passing, and their engines seemed to crackle, but they did not stop.
It was getting dark, and Byrne saw a glow in the woods. He wanted to investigate, but no one went. So, grabbing a flashlight, he went alone and went into the woods. He walked about a quarter of a mile and came to a hill.
The glow grew brighter, and he knew there was something on the other side. As he climbed the hill, the glow turned dark red, then turned almost white.
When he reached the top of the hill, he saw a lighted object, but the trees blocked his path. He walked down the hill and out into the clearing. He was shocked to see an object that looked like a dark triangle hovering among the trees. It was very strange, because the object was not above the trees, but among the trees... like a ghost.
Byrne pointed out that the large object was supposed to break tree branches and its engines were supposed to blow the trees around, but there was nothing, just silence. He tried to get a little closer when he heard a noise coming from him. Then he saw a figure in some sort of costume approaching the object. Byrne hid behind the bushes.
The figure approached the object and looked in Byrne's direction. Byrne sensed that the figure knew he was there, and then he heard thoughts in his head telling him not to come any closer. He was more than willing to obey.
As he watched, the figure raised its hand as if to say goodbye, and disappeared in a flash of red light. Then the object disappeared, as if someone had just turned it off. He described a medium-sized creature in a dark suit with glowing metal bands around its arms and waist. He couldn't see the details of the face, but the figure had some sort of helmet on its head.

Summary: John Byrne was returning home from work and was driving up to Candlewood Lake Road when he thought he saw a low flying aircraft in the sky. The object passed over the trees to the left and he did not hear anything like a crash, so he was not concerned. And then as he drove on airport road he noticed four cars stopped with no lights on, mostly off the side of the road. He flashed his headlights and the car died. He had no electrical power at all, not even radio or headlights. He got out and walked over to the other cars. All the drivers—three men and a woman—were out of their cars. They told Byrne that they saw a very large and bright aircraft flying over and that seemed to go down over the hill in the west. They described the object as having all white and amber lights and very large, triangular in shape and totally silent. As the object flew over them, their vehicles just died. Two other cars drove by at that time and their engines seemed to be sputtering but they did not stop. It was getting dark and Byrne saw a glow in the woods. He wanted to investigate but nobody would go with. So grabbing a flashlight he went alone and started walking into the woods. He went about a quarter of a mile and came to a hill. The glow was getting brighter and he knew that there was something on the other side. As he climbed the hill, the glow turned a deep red and then went to a kind of off-white. As he reached the top of the hill he could see some type of lighted object, but trees blocked his way. He climbed down the hill and came to a clearing. He was shocked to see an object that looked like a dark triangle hovering in the trees. In was very strange since the object wasn’t above the trees but in the trees…like a ghost. Byrne pointed out that an object hat large should have broken tree branches and its engines should have been blowing the trees around, but there was nothing, just silence. He tried to get a little closer when he heard a noise coming from it. He then saw a figure wearing some type of suit approaching the object. Byrne then hid behind a bush. The figure got right to the object and then looked in Byrne’s direction. Byrne felt that the figure knew he was there and then he heard thoughts in his head saying that he shouldn’t come closer. He was more than willing to obey. As he watched, the figure raised his hand as if to say goodbye and vanished in a flash of red light. The object then vanished like someone had just turned it off. He described the being as of average height wearing a dark suit with glowing metal-like stripes around the arms and waist. He did not see the facial details but the figure wore some type of helmet on its head.
