My other friends where aprox. 25' feet from us at the time so assume some sort of magnetic field killed ours. object floated into view rotating counter clockwise slowly facing one of the triangle points with another. paused shortly over camp, center magenta light seemed to brighten for a moment then faded back. Object then floated on over the the opposite ridge. flashlights, radio, and watchs all began working again at this time. that was about it.
