Initial data
The 43-year-old witness and a friend were returning home after playing pool and walking along a secluded road. The witness watched warily and soon noticed a man standing near a dumpster about 50 yards (45 m) to their right. He just thought it was a drunk.
He poked his friend "Bob" and nodded at the man. Bob nodded, too, and saw the man. They slowed down and noticed that the stranger was waving his hands over the electricity meter on the wall.
In his hands, it looked like he had a remote control, like for a TV or stereo system. He stood looking at the man and asked Bob again what he thought the man was doing.
Bob shouted loudly that this guy must be some kind of"madman". When Bob said the man spun around and said something under his breath, looking directly at them, he hit the console several times, muttered something again, and then strode back to the wall of the store. He seemed to have become part of the wall.
The witness started to approach the wall, but Bob grabbed him when he was about 4 feet (1.2 m) away from it. Bob prevented him from touching the wall and said that if necessary, he would prevent him from doing so. As they left in the dark, the witness felt that they were being watched.
(Unfortunately, there is no more detailed description of the mysterious "man").

Summary: The 43-year witness and a friend were returning home from playing pool and were walking on an isolated road. The witness was keeping a wary eye out and soon noticed a man standing beside a dumpster about 50 yards to their right. He just thought that it was a drunk relieving himself. He poked his friend “Bob” and nodded towards the man; Bob also nodded and also saw the man. They slowed their walk and noticed that the stranger was waving his hands over the electric power meter on the wall. In his hands it looked like he had a remote control like for use on a television or stereo. He stood there staring at the man and again asked Bob what he thought the man was doing; Bob yelled in a loud voice that the guy must be some “crazy”. When Bob said that the man whipped around and said something under his breath, looking right at them he punched his remote a few times muttered something again and then walked backwards into the wall of the store. He seemed to become part of the wall. The witness started walking over to the wall, but Bob grabbed him when he was about 4 ft from it. Bob bereaved him for trying to touch the wall and told him he would prevent him from doing so if necessary. As they walked away in the darkness the witness felt like they were being watched. (Unfortunately there isn’t a more detailed description of the mysterious “man”).
