At two o'clock in the | | morning the radio of hotel owner Rosa Gremville suddenly went dead. | | Moments later she heard a loud humming noise outside and looking out | | she was dazzled by a "huge moon lighting up the area, moving about | | like a seesaw." It descended and landed in a field 100 yards behind | | the hotel. "It was round, with flames coming from the top of a dome. | | There was a light on it, like a pulsating star." Two creatures 8 or | | 9-feet tall emerged from the dome through the flames. They wore cream | | or silvery colored jumpsuits. She could see no facial features nor | | any hair on these creatures, eventhough see tried to discern what | | they looked like through a pair of binoculars. They looked as though | | they had hands, but she saw no fingers. "I though their feet were | | webbed." The figures walked around near the object for about 15 | | minutes. Mrs. Gremville wanted to scream, but she had lost her voice. | | She went in search of another witness and when they returned the UFO | | and humanoid figures had gone. Burn marks were found on the ground at | | the site the next day. (Sources: David F.
