The witness had just pulled into her apartment parking lot and was slowing down to select a parking spot, when she noticed what appeared to be a small child playing around a large steel waste dumpster in the corner of the parking lot. The steel dumpster was located underneath a large stand of trees about 15 feet from her location. She got out of the car and walked over to the rear passenger door to get her briefcase and saw movement out of her periphery that further caught her attention. She was concerned about the safety of the “child” and began to slowly walk towards the dumpster to ask where the child’s parents where at. She approached to within 6-8 feet when she heard a loud banging noise and this “child” suddenly had the ability to jump 5 feet and land on top of the dumpster’s steel lid. It was now staring down at her. At this point she described feeling a pressure in her head, nausea and dizziness. She strained to identify it for about 20-30 seconds when she realized that it was not a child, but a strange being, which suddenly produced a glowing white orb of light about the size of a volleyball in its hands and held on to it at about chest height. The light cast from the glowing orb illuminated its head for several seconds and she described a large almond shaped head with big black eyes staring intently at her movements. She stood there in stunned silence trying to understand what was happening and that everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. The being seemed to tighten its grasp on the glowing orb of light and it jumped feet first into the dumpster and disappeared without making any noise. She broke down emotionally and ran into her apartment, quickly notifying her husband. Her husband searched the area but failed to find anything. They also have reported seeing over the past year many electric white blue streaks of light in the area of the parking lot, and frequent but brief power outages.
