It was apparently | | resting on a shaft in a muddy field, and was rocking back and forth. | | Several small humanoid beings, grayish green in color, moved around | | rapidly beneath it. The creatures had very wide set eyes and no | | visible legs, but they did have quick moving arms. After about five | | minutes they disappeared behind the shaft, the object rocked, took | | off, then sped away. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September-October 1969, | | p. 5; Ted R.

At around 4:15 a.m. the engine of the truck began | | missing and the lights flickered, so they shifted into neutral. They | | then felt a blast of wind shake the truck and saw an orange colored | | light moving low to the ground from right to left. They stopped the | | truck and saw six different lights or objects surrounding them: three | | blue stationary lights, a red pulsating light, a silver colored | | saucer, and a reddish-orange saucer. The red light then came directly | | at the truck, passed close by, and continued on behind them. After | | the objects had finally disappeared, they found the rear axle on the | | truck broken in half.

The craft descended vertically and landed. Several figures came | | out of the object. They had long arms and small heads. They looked | | around briefly and then went back inside the object. The object then | | rose straight up and in a few seconds it was gone. Others in the area | | reported seeing a bright light over the area around the same time. | | (Source: Albert S.
