At about 10:45 p.m., witnesses reported seeing a bright light source in the sky over the Armbrust area. The light source, which was above the clouds, was shining down onto the clouds like a spotlight, and moving back and forth. The light which was yellowish, illuminated the area for about 5 minutes. People reported seeing three aircraft approach in the direction of the light, and suddenly the light source just blinked out.

Youngstown-Baggaley area

A resident who lives on a ridge between Youngstown and Baggaley in Westmoreland County, heard loud howling screams coming from the woods about 11 P.M. that evening. The first series of screams lasted a few minutes. Then a second series of similar screams, but not as high pitched, filled the air. It was as though this creature was answering the first calls. The second series of screams lasted about 30-45 seconds. The dogs in the area were extremely upset and howling while the screams were occurring. (This is an area with a long history of reported Bigfoot activity.)
