Initial data
While checking out a strange object seen near the Braden river, the witness began to turn his car around, and the high-beam beams of his car illuminated a silvery reflective object hovering 20 feet (6 m) above the river. The tube extended from the object to the surface of the water.
"I just sat there for a second," he said, then took a camera from the car and took two photos using a strobe light.
It was a Canon FT-QL with a 55mm lens.
