The two women say a brilliant object descended directly ahead of them, spitting flames from its underside. Cash jammed on her brakes and brought the car to a halt about 150 feet from object. Immediately they felt intense heat inside the car and heard a loud roaring sound. They got out of the car and stared at a blinding light and a metallic structure, big as the 200 foot-tall water tower in Dayton, and shaped like a diamond with a blunt top. The object seemed to be struggling to ascend above the treetops, emitting blasts of fire and a continuous roar that reminded the women of a shrill welding torch, only much louder.
