Detail highlights as reported to nuforc.org: "There was a very deep drone hum, not really heard but felt, we didn't move as it seemed that if we made ourselves seen something may happen to us. As the craft passed in front to the NE and about 30 yards from us a beam of brilliant white light shot down to the ground from the (?) front of the craft, and began to sweep left to right down then up as if it were searching for something, When this light first hit the ground the was a disturbance of dust rising, and as it sweeped around you could see dust roiling up. We experienced an ill, nauseous, dread feeling... We about to leave when we noticed that the airbase had came alive, ie: search lights, sirens and military police vechiles ranging along the security fencewe saw this due to our being on a slight rise. We left in our car, and decided to check if the base was shut down, the main gate was closed and MPs were not allowing anyone to enter. The next day the word was that a coyote had set off the perimeter alarm."
