Initial data
The family of four was suddenly woken up by strange noises coming from the trailer's backyard terrace. Taking a flashlight, my father went to investigate.
Opening the door, he shone his light on the wooden railing of the deck. then he heard a sound like " something running around on the deck, bumping into objects." The noise startled him. None of his dogs barked at the intruder.
As he shone his flashlight on the railing, he saw something behind him and stared at him between the railings. He described it as something like a rubbery or fleshy object five feet in diameter. He extended a tentacle or appendage over the railing to the deck floor.
According to the witness, the appendage was 18 to 24 inches (45.72 - 60.9 cm) long, resembling the trunk of an elephant.
He went to wake up his two sons, and then the whole family watched the creature from the trailer's dining room window. The wife also noticed several bright lights at some distance. Each time the family members pointed their flashlight at the creature, it acted in a very defensive manner, moving very quickly around the yard, under the cars, back under the deck, and apparently turning into a glowing disk at times.
At 04: 00, the main witness came out of the trailer to look for his dogs, he found them very depressed, one of them had a wound in the back leg, just below the hip, and he was limping as if in severe pain.
Meanwhile, a glowing object hovered over a nearby clearing, emitting beams of light. The witness was apparently struck by these rays of light in the elbow joint and neck. The man and his two sons followed the creature to the family's parked cars.
Then they noticed that the windows of both cars were covered in fog or ice, and one of the cars had some kind of electrical hum and the antenna was shaking. They saw the creature again at dawn in a nearby ditch and called the sheriff's department.

A family of four was suddenly awakened by weird noises coming from the trailer’s backyard deck. Grabbing a flashlight, the father went to investigate. Sliding the door open he illuminated the deck’s wooden railing. he then heard a noise that sounded like “something running across the deck, bumping into things.” The noise startled him. Neither of his dogs had barked at the intruder. Shining his flashlight toward the railing, he saw something rear up, and stare at him between the rails. He described it as a kind of rubbery or pulpy object five feet in diameter. It extended a tentacle or appendage through the railing and onto the deck floor. The witness estimated the appendage was”18 to 24 inches long” resembling an elephant’s trunk. He went to wake up his two sons, and then the whole family watched the creature from the trailer’s dining room window. The wife also noticed some bright lights some distance away. Every time the family members aimed their flashlight at the creature it acted in a very defensive manner, moving very fast over the yard, under cars, back under the deck, and apparently changed into a glowing disk at times. At 0400A the main witness left the trailer to look for his dogs, he found them very subdued, one of them had a wound to his hind leg, just inside the thigh and limped as if in great pain. Meanwhile a luminous object hovered over a nearby clearing, shooting off beams of light. The witness was apparently struck by these beams of light on the elbow and the neck. The man and his two sons followed the creature to the family’s parked cars. They then noticed the window of both vehicles covered with some kind of fog or ice, and one of the cars had some kind of electrical hum about it, and the antenna was shaking. They again saw the creature around sunup in a ditch nearby and phoned the sheriff’s Department. (Very weird, shades of the Hopkinvsille siege)
