Two of the hunters were able to reach outside in time to see the object overhead, as it slowly began to move away. It moved without a sound toward a nearby mountain. The two remembered a faint whining sound, which occurred simultaneously with the glow of lights on the underneath of the craft. They would then observe a white light, which was visible at each of its three corners. A red light strobed from the middle of the belly. Two of the hunters grabbed their binoculars to get a closer look. They were almost transfixed as they watched the unworldly object for at least 60 seconds. As the object began to ascend and move up a narrow canyon in the nearby mountain, the men stated that the craft moved "like a hockey puck gliding over ice,--very smooth and unwavering," according to the NUFORC investigative reports.

After the event, one of the hunters who was a pilot would remark that the craft was "not moving through the atmosphere the way an aerodynamic body would." The men were totally stunned by their experience, and frightened to the point of moving to a motel, three hours away from their campsite. The NUFORC report would state, "One of the two, the first to witness the object, spent a very uncomfortable night, lying awake and thinking about the object he had witnessed hours earlier. He felt keenly on edge, and startled dramatically on one occasion, for example, when the electric heater in their room suddenly came on," said NUFORC.

The next morning, the hunters contacted local government authorities, and the NUFORC offices. They gave all the details of their experience, including the coordinates of their campsite. As to be expected, nothing was forthcoming from local government, but NUFORC was on the scene immediately, and made a full and detailed report. The triangular shape of the object has been reported many times during UFO sightings, and has been captured on photo and video. What was the source of this strange, eerie object which moved across the mountains of Idaho that night? The case is still listed in the "unexplained" category.
