| three-foot tall beings were seen outside the craft. They wore gray |
| coveralls and moved in a mechanical manner. Landing traces found at |
| the site consisted of a circle with three holes arranged in an |
| equilateral triangle. The sides of the triangle were 4.1 meters in |
| length. (Source: Ted R. Phillips, case investigation files, C005, |
