| 2,000-5,000 feet high. It was hovering, then moved away quickly on a |
| straight trajectory. The lights and radio then came back on and the |
| engine also started by itself. The whole sighting lasted only 15-20 |

| buzzing noise like a swarm of wasps. It came from a UFO shaped like a |
| sombrero, about 25-30 yards in diameter, which gave off a brilliant |
| violet luminosity. From the craft three beings descended. They were |
| huge, "about 3 times as large as humans," and had "blocky arms and |
| legs and shapeless bodies." They emitted a purple and yellow glow. |
| For about ten minutes they gathered sugar cane and other plant |
| specimens, without concern for the observers. Mrs. Olga Vas said that |
| the beings descended from the larger craft in a small object similar |
| in shape. At one point one of the entities came close enough to the |
| group for Mr. Vas to call out in alarm. The "spaceman" showed no |
| concern and moved away only after picking up several rocks. The giant |
| creatures re-entered their craft and the UFO took off vertically. |
| When it took off the hair on the witnesses' bodies stood on end, as |
| if affected by a form of static electricity. (Sources: Bill Chalker |
