The Alien. United States

Two 23-year old Navajo Indians, Guy Tossie and Willy Begay, driving south of town, were blinded by a flash of white light; their car came to a stop and immediately ahead of them, hovering five feet of the ground, they saw an object 6-8 feet in diameter and 3 feet thick, shaped like two saucers joined together; and on top was a transparent bubble dome, occupied by two small entities. The dome flipped open and one of the two occupants floated out and to the ground, approached the car. By the flashing lights, the Indians were able to see that he was no more than 3-feet tall, and bald, with ears set up high on his head; his facial skin was scarred and wrinkled, “like a cantaloupe,” his eyes were round and showed no pupils, and his mouth had lips so thin as to be barely visible. They saw no nose. He was wearing tight fitting coveralls and carried a pack on his back. To the Indian’s horror, the little being opened the car door and seated himself behind the wheel; they drew over to the right as far as they could as the car towed, or driven, off the highway and out into a field of stubble wheat. As soon as it stopped, a terrified Tossie Jumped out of the right side of the car and began running to the farmhouse of William Hammon, a quarter of a mile away. As he ran, he found his shadow preceding him, as though a bright light were shining on him from behind. (It was presumed that the second occupant gave chase with a light, although Begay, who was otherwise preoccupied, could not confirm this). In the car, Begay cowered in the right side of the front seat as the little being attempted to communicate with him, twice saying something incomprehensible in a high, chirruping voice. Getting no response, the being got out of the car and joined the second being (presumably returned from his brief chase), and the two floated into the object, which took off in a zigzag motion. At the Hammon farmhouse, Tossie banged on the door, screaming for help. The farmer and his son Bob admitted him, and it took a period of time to calm him sufficiently to get his story; by the time they accompanied him back to the field, the object had departed and Begay was found in a state of near shock in the front seat. The farmer had to escort the youths by car; their fear was so great. There were attendant sightings in the area, and cattle had been “spooked” on several farms that night.

Location: Between Ririe & Rigby Idaho
Time: 2330
Summary: Two Indian youths in a car saw a disc with a transparent dome on top and multicolored lights along the rim (body lights). The object hovered in front of the car which stopped (EM effects). Two occupants were seen in the craft. One occupant got out and entered the driver’s seat of the car. The car either followed the craft or was towed into a field where one witness got out and ran off for help, followed by the second occupant, while the other frightened youth stayed in the car with the first occupant, who tried to communicate with him. The second occupant returned, and the two re-entered the craft, which rose and departed, a yellow flame-like light coming from the bottom. An anonymous witness, two hours after the previous case, was driving to Rigby in his truck; a few miles northwest of Ririe, “a small UFO came down in front of his truck and stopped it,” and a small humanoid being got out and tried to get in the truck, tapping on the side window and scratching on the windshield. The man, who had been drinking, thought he was losing his mind. He confided the story to a co-worker the following day when news of the Begay-Tossie sighting was known, and the co-worker told Ricks. The man was very reluctant to co-operate in Rick’s inquiries and, a year later, when follow up inquiries were made, the man had moved away.
