The background of this event is reported in the September 2008 MUFON Journal and follows:<\/p>\n
\u201cDenise Murter was out in the yard with her dog at 4:10 AM on July 8, 2008. This was her fourth sighting since mid-April. She looked up in the sky and saw four lights this time, three on the front of the object that looked like two eyes and a nose and were as bright as headlights, and a pink colored light toward the rear of the object. The craft emitted a blue fog out of what appeared to be the rear; the fog contained silver flakes which fell through two trees, filtering down through the trees until they hovered about three feet off the ground. After a while the silver flakes went back up to the object. The witness observed the whole encounter for 40 minutes this time. A robin which had lived in one of the affected trees for four months was found dead on the patio the next morning.\u201d (F.I. Bob Gardner)<\/p>\n
The object is to determine if there are any anomalies in the leaf and soil samples exposed to the fog\/silver flakes.<\/p>\n
