It was silvery on top but  the lower half was dark gray, | | and it was about 10 meters in diameter. It also bore a black mark or | | insignia. Next to it appeared two human figures about 1.5 meters | | tall, wearing silvery coveralls and opaque helmets. A gesture from | | them scared the witness, who drove away but was subsequently followed | | by the object.

They stood about five feet tall. | | | | The beings got to within 50 feet of a house and then turned and | | walked away, side-by-side, to a nearby railroad crossing. They stood | | there for a few minutes, then walked a short distance towards the | | witnesses. As the witnesses boarded a bus, one of the beings extended | | his arm upward. At this point they were able to see that the figure | | was wearing a cape. | | | | 1970 - At 9:00 a.m. a nine-year-old girl saw an UFO shaped like a huge | | bubble come down from the sky and land near her house.

One of the | | witnesses at the bus stop went back to the site that evening and | | found a spot where the high grass was matted and twisted. (Source: | | Albert S.

At first it was standing | | with its back to them, but when it turned around it became aware of | | their presence by first noticing the flashlight being held by Luis. | | It took off running in a strange fashion, without bending its knees. | | They noticed that its head was hairless, but its body was covered | | with ample hair, and it had round, slightly Oriental-looking eyes | | that were orange in color. It was almost two meters tall, with long | | dangling arms and legs that looked deformed. It was very pale in | | color with its head was shaped like an inverted pear.

Filer and David E. Twichell, Filer's Files: | | Worldwide Reports of UFO Sightings, p. 81). | | | | 2002 - A very bright white disc-shaped object traversed the sky in | | The Colony, Texas at four o'clock in the afternoon, about 500-700 | | feet up, heading toward the North at a fairly fast pace. It was | | viewed through binoculars by a counseling psychologist and his | | daughter. It seemed to rotate, and changed from a disk to another | | shape. It was maneuvering in the sky, and no sound was detected. It | | was descending to the ground at a 25-degree angle. The winds were out | | of the south at 5-10 mph on a sunny day. (Source: George A.
