The UFO flew off | | quickly in a westward direction. Within minutes of touching the | | substance it would disappear, leaving a green stain on the fingers. | | (Sources: Marysville (OH) Journal-Tribune, October 25, 1954 & July | | 22, 1958; Leonard H.

The man asked: "Enrique, do you want to come with me?" Enrique | | agreed. The young man straddled Enrique as he grabs a girdle on the | | man's coveralls. Then they fly through the air, inside an apparently | | invisible beam, into a hovering saucer-shaped object. Inside the | | craft Mercado is surprised at the apparent simplicity of the craft's | | furnishings. There is a table with multi-colored buttons, a screen on | | the wall, and two armchairs. The saucer then flew into a hovering | | mothership, around which other saucers were hovering. Mercado is then | | given a green coverall to wear and he is introduced to the commander | | of the vessel, a huge man over two meters tall, who wore a blue | | coverall. The commander's name was Yastek, and he showed Mercado what | | he called "sky charts". Enrique is informed he is at a point some | | 100,000 kilometers above Mexico City. Suddenly, he finds himself on | | the balcony of his house, and two hours have elapsed. (Source: Albert | | S.

While driving home Ms. Debbie Carne saw the | | creatures slowly cross the road in front of her. As she drove past | | them on the roadside they made a loud noise and raised their arms as | | if to scare her. About 15 minutes after the first encounter by Ms. | | Carne, Mr. & Mrs. Donathan approached the same area in a car and saw | | the same or a similar pair of beings on the road. They were described | | as wearing bright silver suits, straight in form and with no features | | noticed except box-like feet. The pair moved in a clumsy, flopping | | manner as they tried to get off the road ahead of the approaching | | car. Mr. Donathan described this as a dancing effect. A snake-like | | pattern of lights was seen dancing over the field. The next day | | imprints were found in the field where the beings had last been seen. | | (Sources: Donald Worley, APRO Bulletin, September-October 1973, p. 1; | | Donald Worley, Official UFO, January 1976, p. 16; David F.
