The Alien. United States

Several decades after the sighting’s date, ufologists Ted Bloecher and Thomas P. Deuley separately recorded the testimony of Lawrence J. Crone who was only 5, 6. or 4 to 7 years old – depending on the later versions – in the Summer of 1910 when he allegedly experienced a close encounter of the third kind one morning. He told that in Violetville, now a Baltimore suburb, at a baseball field, he saw a blimp-shaped or cigar-shaped object, brown, of metallic appearance, approximately 100 feet in length or “twice the length of a railroad car”, which hovered with an oscillating motion over a pine tree located 200 feet away from him.The craft had a line of rectangular glass-looking windows of various colors, through one of these windows which was transparent, he saw occupants who looked at him or looked out. They had heads and necks “like pigeons,” with pointed heads or pointed helmets, no nose, no ears, a slit for a mouth, and two round spots or holes for eyes on their flat, chinless faces. They seemed covered with a soft-looking gray or light-colored gown, like fur.Several groups of two or three of them came in turn to look at the outside from this window, it is estimated that they were about twenty overall. He called the ship to the attention of two young men, who screamed and ran away. His mother came out and also saw the UFO, which moved away slowly.
