||
| dimly lit. A three-foot-tall Grey humanoid with slanted eyes, who |

|
||
| poking her with an unseen instrument. She sensed hostility from the |
|
||
| being, which kept circling her in an attempt to force her to lie down |

||
| on a nearby metal table. The witness resisted and blacked out. She |
|
||
| later she found herself back on her bed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
