|
|||
|
|
| Hassleholm, Sweden. The object was in sight for ten seconds. This |
|
|||
|
|

|
| same night a humanoid encounter occurred in the United States. At |

|
| shorter one was stocky but the taller one was slender. She shone her |
|
|||
|
|
| flashlight on them for three minutes before they walked away. |
