It initially came on at full brilliance then dimmed down. Without changing positions, it came on again, but at half brilliance, then dimmed down. Once more, it came on at half brilliance, but this time it dimmed out, and never reappeared.

I had the distinct impression that the performance I had just witnessed, was meant exclusively for me. It was a personal message which seemed to be saying, "You may be watching us, but we are watching you as well!" and, "You should not get too close - you should just go away." My response was not to go away, but to pursue them. I jumped back in my van, and headed north to a spot, near where the object appeared. I parked on a lonely, remote, dead-end road, got out and took up a position about thirty feet in front of the van.

I turned on my video camera, just in case there was something to record. It went right back off. Again, I turned it on, and again it went off. The battery was drained! I had just charged it before I left home and it had no more than ten minutes of use beforehand. This battery had never given me any trouble before. Fortunately, I had a spare in the van, having been cautioned previously about the proclivity of UFOs to zap a fully charged camera battery. I soon had the camera up and running again, but the object never reappeared.
