94 package of components to another kind of package, kind of like they were cables of some kind. And down the center between these things—they were all in very neat little rows—there was, like, scribbling. [On] each one of these component boxes there would be scribbling, it was almost a pink color on sort of a brown, woodlike background. Like it was writing or symbols that explained what this thing was. You could see some other lights in there. These lights were usually associated with components. Some of them were going on and off. The light would go off over here, and the light over here would come on. It was like circuitry was still functioning, or attempting to function. There was some [that were] amber, and some green. Were they the same color as the lights on the threads that were hanging down? Some of that was really brilliant red, and some of it was like brilliant white. Strobe-light bright. The others were red, they were incredibly brilliant colors and they were fading. Some of them would fade, they were very faint, and others were brilliant and real obvious. Some of them appeared to be fluctuating in intensity. . . getting real bright, and then dim, and then partially bright, and then real bright, and then dim again. I never got up in that crack. Glenn [said] that it was very cold. I knew that, as I'd already touched that portion of the outer hull. Eight to ten feet from bottom to top. It went almost from the edge of the saucer to the top of the dome. And probably in width: three feet. It was an elliptically shaped vertical gash, like a parenthesis. The widest part of it seemed to be toward the center. It looked like it had been pulled open and all the metal turned in, and it was very ripped and jagged. There was a real strong smell, too. Like, maybe, rubbing alco- hol or acetone or something like that. And this is what I think was prompting my Dad to jump on my brother's back constantly about his cigarettes, because he was afraid he was gonna blow the place up! CRASH AT CORONA How big was the gash?
