"They lay there in the bush, quietly watching the lights. They couldn't tell what exactly was going on, but their activity was definitely centered around their camp."
I received the following account:
"I heard this story from both my Dad and Grandpa. When my father was a teenager (in the 1980s), he went hunting with Grandpa in Southern Idaho. They had made camp at the bottom of some foothills, and the plan was to hike up into them the next morning and start hunting.
So early in the morning, probably around 3 AM, Dad and Grandpa start making their way up the hill. One thing to note about this region, it's pretty much just empty grassland and brush, you don't get many trees until you start heading into the mountains. So Dad could easily see their campsite down below them, even in the moonlight. About halfway up the hill, Dad turns around to take a look at the valley below him, and he's confused by what he sees.
Hovering around their campsite about a mile away, are a dozen or so red lights. He couldn't tell how big they were, but they moved around seemingly at random. Not just on the valley floor, some of them had to have been several meters in the air. This was long before drones became a thing and the closest human being to them had to have been at least 20 miles away.
Just before Dad could raise his voice, Grandpa roughly told him to keep moving. So he did but kept looking back at the red lights still moving near their campsite. He tried to talk to Grandpa, but he'd just shut him up and tell him to keep walking.
Eventually, they make it to the top of the hill and Grandpa suddenly tells Dad to crawl underneath a bush. They both get under one and Grandpa pulls out his binoculars. Turns out, he'd seen the lights all the way back while they were at camp. Apparently, they'd been approaching the camp from the other side of the valley, and Grandpa wanted to get some distance between them before he did anything.
They lay there in the bush, quietly watching the lights. They couldn't tell what exactly was going on, but their activity was definitely centered around their camp. At about 5 AM or so the sun started to peak above the hills. And right as it did, both Dad and Grandpa heard an extremely loud and high-pitched ringing coming from down in the valley. They assumed it was the lights that made the sound. After a few seconds of the ringing, the lights began to rise into the sky until they were out of sight and the ringing could not be heard. It was this event that made both of them question what they'd seen.
They stayed in that bush for two more hours until they decided the coast was clear and proceeded down the hill back to camp. When they arrived, it was clear that something had searched the camp. Nothing had been taken, items had been haphazardly thrown around and anything that had been in a bag or container was now strewn around as well.
They quickly left after packing everything up and never went back there again. Both of them still live in Southern Idaho, and will often recount this story whenever extraterrestrial stuff is brought up." A
