form the rear of the fence line of L-9. (  There is a small hill 
approximately 50 yards behind L-9 )

   Jenkins stayed with the SAT vehicle and Raeke proceeded to the source of 
the light to investigate. As Raeke approached the crest of the hill, he 
observed an individuals  dressed in a glowing green metallic uniform  and  
wearing a helmet with visor.

refused to stop and kept walking towards the rear fence line of L-9. Raeke 
aimed his M-16 rifle at the intruder and ordered him to stop.

emitted a bright flash of intense light. The  flash  of  light  struck  
Raeke's M-16 rifle, disintegrating the weapon and causing second and  third

one intruder in  the  helmet.  Both  intruders  fell  to  the  ground,
