Disk over Williamson, WV

The report, as filed

I was in my shed working on a metal box and went back in for dinner. I was walking back in and in the sky I saw a disk like shape that looked only silver and it just floated in mid air. The spacecraft was low towards the ground not too far up from the trees and field. I had hunting binoculars so I could get a good look at it. I have never been a believer of the extraterrestrial or the paranormal so I just figured it was just some sort of airplane but, I stared at it deeper and realized it wasn’t. Part of the shape towards to top was more visible and I could make out the shape of a figure that didn’t look human like. I open the door inside the house to tell my wife and tell my cousin to come out to get a look at it. After 1-2 minutes after they come out it starts to slowly move and it looked like it was slowly going around in small circles. Then the tip or the ship turns unnaturally nothing like I’ve ever seen before and starts going towards the ground. It starts to pick up speed and an indescribable color of light flashes right before it crashes. It was a bright light. My hounds started barking and trying to run over so I had to get them inside and figure out who to call and what to do. I went online to figure out what to do because I didn’t want people thinking I’m crazy so I found the number for the UFO hotline. The space-craft landed behind my barn and somewhere deep into the cornfield across the river.
