He was | | about 30-40 cm tall, and was wearing black clothing. She went back | | inside and looked at the creature again out a window, at the same | | time calling her son to come see. She also called her mother in-law | | on the telephone. The boy observed the tree with a pair of binoculars | | but was unable to distinguish any additional features. The being | | appeared to move from branch to branch, and then seemed to stand on a | | very thin branch that appeared incapable of supporting his weight. | | The humanoid looked to be trying to conceal his face with his hand. | | He soon disappeared from sight. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1980, citing Denys Breysse, Project Becassine). | | | | 1980 - In Botafuegos, Spain later that same night five witnesses, | | including Rafael Tobajas, spotted a low flying whitish-orange | | luminous object lifting off from some nearby woods. Minutes later the | | object divided into three separate luminous sections, then re-united | | again into one luminous spot. Using a pair of binoculars, they | | watched the lighted object descend in a falling leaf motion. Near the | | ground two huge man-like silhouettes appeared in front of the lights. | | They were grayish in color and over three meters in height. They made | | huge leaps and strides over the ground, jumping easily over | | obstacles, but they seemed to move in slow motion and stayed in front | | of the luminous orbs of lights. According to Tobajas, the humanoid | | forms stopped briefly by a small creek and seemed to bend down | | several times. The humanoids suddenly began running at witnesses, who | | became terrified and drove away frantically from the area. The tall | | gray humanoid forms persisted in chasing the witness's vehicle for | | several minutes. Tobajas reportedly encountered similar humanoid | | figures at night, one year later. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, | | Humanoid Contact Database 1980, citing Dr. Jimenez del Oso and J. J. | | Benitez). | | | | 1980 - At 10:00 p.m. Carlos Vommaro, age 22, was driving home from | | dinner at his girlfriend's house westbound on Route 22 between the | | towns of Ingeniero Huergo and Cervantes in Rio Negro province, | | Argentina when he noticed a strong glowly light over a field 200 | | meters away, on the left side of his truck and at about 30 meters | | altitude. He described the object as having two big "L" structures | | with a luminous rectangular form inside. The edges of the luminous | | "L's" seemed to be covered in a diffused vapor that seemed to reflect | | the light. Perplexed, Vommaro watched the object as it came parallel | | to him. Vommaro then decided to escape, speeding up to about 60 mph | | when suddenly everything around him became dark and he blacked | | out. When Vommaro woke up he found himself leaning over the steering | | wheel. The light was now on top of the vehicle, and suddenly from the | | area of the luminous rectangular area a beam of light shot out, which | | seemed to spread out in width the further away it got. The beam of | | light covered the vehicle, but not its interior; it seems to be | | stronger at the point of origin. Terrified, Vommaro jumped out of his | | vehicle, running for help but the road is completely deserted. A | | couple of minutes later he saw a car approaching from the direction | | of General Roca, and he frantically tried to flag down the car. The | | car slowed down briefly, but then sped away. Perhaps the approaching | | driver had seen the luminous object still hovering above the road. | | After coming to his senses Vommaro now realized he was outside of the | | town of Cervantes, located more than 15 km away from were he had | | been, and he has about an hour of missing time he can't account for. | | When he got home his dogs reacted strangely, did not seem to | | recognize him, and attempted to attack him. The next day he suffered | | from lack of appetite, weakness, lumbar back pain, and leg pain. | | There was also some damage to his car. There were numerous other UFO | | reports that evening from Argentina and Chile.

Both witnesses ran outside, jumped into their | | car, and began following the UFO and the mystery helicopters. Once on | | the expressway the helicopters left and the giant object turned into | | a ball of fire before their eyes. Both witnesses then suffered a | | blackout.

The primary witness felt pain in her | | left arm. They also realized that their vehicle was parked at a | | different spot than it had been parked, that was miles away from the | | original site. Under hypnosis one of the younger witnesses remembered | | the little men had been accompanied by a tall, heavyset being, with | | large eyes, a baldhead, long arms, wearing a gray outfit. The tall | | being was the one apparently in charge, and directed the activities | | of the little men. Another member of the group remembered being | | floated out of the vehicle into a dark place. The primary witness | | also remembered several tall female beings performing some type of | | operation on her left arm. Locals reported seeing luminous objects in | | the sky around the same time.
