Outside the security facility, Woods sees a light to the east. He flips the lights; it answers.

A light on the prairie.
Woods recalls stepping outside the security facility into a clear, bitterly cold night. To the east, one light looked different. He flipped the lights off and on three times; about thirty seconds later, he says, the light went off and on twice. The launch-site alarm came later.
