UFOs sighted in the area for two years have been landing regularly since early spring on the s farm. 

On October 8, 10-year-old Steve and another child saw a UFO at the base of the cloud and took a picture. Apparently, the object landed, leaving traces. 

On the 16th, Steve observed a spherical UFO, 10 feet (3 m) wide and 6-7 feet (1.8-2.1 m) high, landing no more than 60 feet (18.2 m) away. 

His attention was drawn to the humming sound that came when the ramp came out quietly and smoothly. 

A small man between 3 and 4 feet (0.9-1.2 m) tall, with long arms and hands with only two fingers, came out with a bow-legged gait. He was wearing a disproportionately large yellow-brown helmet, which he took off to wipe his forehead; the boy could see that he was bald and had a pale green complexion. Large eyes set close together, a slit like a mouth, and a double slit where the nose should have been. He was wearing a white spacesuit. 

The creature looked directly at Stephen, then put the helmet back on and re-entered the UFO. 

During another earlier encounter (date unknown) with a 2-foot-tall (0.6 m) creature, Steve discovered a "scanning device" on the roof of his shed. He put the tool in his pocket, and almost immediately the creature appeared out of nowhere and snatched the tool from him. 

Later, a second similar device was found, and when the same thing happened, the boy began to struggle with the entity, and the device fell to the floor, part of it rolled into the crack. The fragment was found and is said to still be in the family's possession. 

In another case, a 10-foot (3 m) creature appeared in front of a large glass window in a farmhouse. A tube was pointed at Steve, and a white beam of light hit him in the chest, damaging his skin and leaving red welts. The window was broken in the attack. 

Once again, the boy was asked if he wanted to go on a UFO to another planet. He said he wanted to go to Pluto, but the ufonauts compromised and offered to go to Venus, and all he saw were heavy clouds. 

The round trip took only 45 minutes.

Summary: UFOs seen in the area for two years had been landing regularly since early spring on the S. farm. On October 8 10-year old Steve, with another youngster, had seen a UFO at the base of a cloud, and snapped a picture. The object apparently landed leaving traces. On the 16th, Steve watched a spherical UFO, 10 ft wide and 6-7 ft high, land not 60 ft away from him. His attention was caught by the humming sound it emitted as a ramp came out silently and smoothly. A little man, 3 to 4 ft tall, with long arms and hands with only two digits, emerged with a bow-legged kind of gait. He wore a disproportionately large yellow-brown helmet, which he took off to wipe his brow; the boy could see that he was bald, and had a pale green complexion; large eyes set close together, a slit like mouth and a double slit where the nose would be. He was dressed in a white spacesuit. The being looked directly at Steven, then put his helmet back on and re-entered the UFO. In another earlier encounter (date unknown) with a 2 ft being, Steve had discovered a “scanning device” on the roof of his barn; he pocketed the implement and almost immediately the being appeared from nowhere and snatched the instrument away from him. Later a second similar device was found and when the same thing happened, the boy struggled with the entity and the device fell on the floor, part of it rolled into a crack. The fragment was retrieved and allegedly is still in the family’s possession. On still another occasion, a 10 ft entity appeared in front of a large plate glass window in the farmhouse; a tube was pointed at Steve and a white beam of light hit him in the chest, hurting him and leaving red welts. The window was broken in the attack. On yet another occasion the boy was asked if he wanted to ride in a UFO to another planet; he said he wanted to go to Pluto, but the Ufonauts compromised on Venus, and all he saw were heavy clouds. The round trip took only 45 minutes.
