The five young men went out into the Mojave Desert to shoot rifles and set up camp for the night. \

Two of the group went to bed, while the other two stayed up, talking and working with a portable flashlight on a dirt bike. After a while, they heard a strange humming sound, and their portable light went out. Looking up in the light of the full moon, they noticed a large black circular object moving slowly over their camp. 

Startled and curious, they followed the ship, hoping to make out more details. After about an hour, they lost sight of him over the hill. They returned to the camp, but got lost. 

After nearly an hour of wandering, they came across an old trash can in a State Park in the middle of an area used for off-road motorcycles. Then, from the stone wall surrounding the dumpsters, they heard loud rumbling sounds, as if someone was throwing out garbage. One of the men approached the hole in the wall, intending to ask the way of those who were there. 

He noticed a tall, blond man, clean-shaven, wearing a golf shirt and trousers, both stained with engine oil and dirt, frantically throwing out trash while he searched for something in a dumpster. 

The camper asked the blond man if he knew how to get back to the city, and the man said he wasn't from the neighborhood, which the government probably knew. The campers asked the man what he was doing in the wilderness, dressed as he was, but he ignored them, picked up the bullet riddle of the radiator, and asked them what they thought of it. Worried, the two vacationers moved away from the stranger. Then they looked around for the car, but saw nothing.

At that moment, a helicopter flew over the hillside and illuminated the group with a blinding light. Although the two campers don't remember the man getting out of the dumpster, they turned to talk to him and he left. A moment later, the helicopter turned toward the burning green light that was steadily rising in the sky. After that, none of the campers remembered anything. They woke up, leaning against the stone wall, sometime after six in the morning.

Summary:  Five young men had gone into the Mojave Desert to shoot their rifles and camp for the night. Three of the group had gone to bed while the other two stayed up talking and working by portable light on a dirt bike. After awhile they heard a strange humming sound and their portable light went out. Looking up, in the light of the full moon, they spotted a large black circular object slowly moving over their camp. Startled and curious, they followed the craft hoping to make out more details. After about an hour, they lost sight of it over a hill. They headed back to camp but lost their way. After wandering about for nearly an hour, they came upon an old State Park dumpster in the middle of the area used for dirt bikes. Then from within the masonry wall surrounding the dumpsters, they heard loud crashing sounds like if someone was tossing garbage around. One of the men walked around to an opening in the wall, intent on asking directions from whoever was there. He noticed a tall blond man, clean shaven and wearing a golf shirt and dress slacks, both stained with motor oil and muck, wildly tossing garbage around as he searched for something in the dumpster. The camper asked the blond man if he knew how to get back to town, the man responded that he was not from around the area, that maybe the government knew. The campers asked the man what he was doing out in the middle of nowhere dressed as he was, but he ignored them, held up a bullet riddle radiator, and asked them what they thought of it. Concerned the two campers moved back from the stranger. They then looked around for a car but saw nothing. Just then a helicopter flew over the hillside and shot a blinding light down on the group. Though the two campers do not recall the man leaving the dumpster, they turned to talk to him and he was gone. An instant later the helicopter veered off in the direction of a glowing green light that was steadily rising in the sky. Neither camper remembered anything after that. They woke up leaning against the masonry wall sometime after 6:00 AM.
