He stopped his truck within 30 meters of the object with the truck's headlights aimed at it. The craft had a spherical central body with side extensions tipped with green lights, and he was surprised to see two 3-foot-tall dwarf beings dressed in shiny black uniforms rush by his vehicle and enter the craft, which took off straight up with a hissing sound.

1968 - Mr. Luce Fontaine, age 31, a farmer on
Reunion Island in the
Indian Ocean, was picking some grass for his rabbits at around 9:00 a.m. when he saw an object 5 meters in diameter like two metallic saucers put face to face, standing on a "glass foot" like a goblet. It was only 25 meters away. On its top it bore another such "foot." It was dark blue but had a large central window, through which could be seen two small individuals, only 3 feet tall, dressed from head to foot in bulky coveralls, something like the Michelin "tire man." Both wore helmets that partially masked their faces. They turned their backs and there was a brilliant flash of light, and a sensation of heat with a blast of wind. A few seconds later nothing was to be seen. There was a local police investigation. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher,

1993 - A man riding his motorcycle near Orihuela, Alicante, Spain around midnight noticed a tall dark human figure standing next to a light pole. The figure seemed to be staring at him. The witness rode away at high speed but then noticed that the figure was now running after him at very high speed also, still staring at him. The figure then disappeared and a bright white sphere appeared and followed the witness briefly before leaving. (Source; Albert S.

2000 - In Bairoa, Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico a woman was awakened around 5:00 a.m. when she heard noises coming from her neighbor's backyard. The noise of something falling on the ground. Her dog began barking inceasantly. She decided to get up and look outside, and when she looked out the window she was startled to see a strange creature standing with its back to her, only 15 feet away. It was white in color with wrinkled skin and had an egg-shaped head with large elongated white eyes with black centers. It had elongated ears, arms, and legs. It appeared to be unclothed. Its hands were in a praying position and its body and head jerked around as if it had no control over them. After watching for a few minutes the witness made a sudden noise, causing the creature to turn around halfway and gaze at her. This caused her to involuntarily close her eyes and step back. She rubbed her eyes repeatedly and was finally able to open them again. Frightened, she called additional household members but by the time they arrived the creature was gone. Two days after later the witness noticed a green light illuminating her room. No one was able to identify the source of the light. (Source: Albert S.
