Reeves, a retired 65 year old, was | | hunting for snakes in the woods in Brooksville, Florida when he | | observed a reddish-purple saucer-shaped object on the ground. It was | | 30 feet in diameter and 6-7 feet thick, and stood on four legs, with | | a clear dome on top and a row of vanes like an outer rim around the | | circumference. It also had a set of stairs. He crept to within 100 | | feet, and after watching it for 10 minutes he saw a robot-like being, | | about five feet tall, wearing a silver one-piece uniform with a | | transparent "fishbowl" helmet. His hands were gloved and he wore | | metallic looking boots. His eyes were set far apart and he had a | | pointed chin. The being walked walked to the craft, then returned | | with a box that emitted two bright flashes when pointed at the | | witness; Reeves took it to be somekind of camera. The humanoid then | | re-entered the craft by walking up a small retractable stairway, and | | the object rose vertically with a whistling noise. Reeves found at | | the site many dumbbell-shaped footprints, and four roughly | | equidistant 6 inch holes, left by the landing gear. There were also | | two folded sheets of thin tissue like paper that bore messages | | written in an unknown alphabet. Reeves subsequently had further | | sightings and contacts.
