Initial data
A few days before the strange encounter, there were many reports of UFO sightings on Antigo.
On Saturday evening, November 16, Ms. Eunice H., the owner of a local bar and restaurant, and her family saw a maneuverable fire in the sky.
The next day, while on duty at the bar, a witness saw a short, strange-looking man enter the bar, 4.5 feet (1.3 m) tall, with a kind of "Bouncing" gait.
He motioned for her to come closer and addressed her in rapid English, saying:
"You saw a bright light on Friday night."
She corrected him by saying it was Saturday, but he repeated his statement four times. He smiled throughout this fast-paced performance, showing "a mouthful of white teeth."
His eyes were no higher than the top bar, and he wore dark glasses with inch-wide frames; he had a dark complexion and glossy black hair. His jacket was woven loosely, "like burlap." He continued his monologue and said that a meteor should have landed nearby, adding something incomprehensible to the certificate of "Medford", repeating the same name several times.
He spoke so fast that the witness could not understand what he was saying. When he saw this, he threw up his hands and exclaimed:
"And the whole world caught fire!»
Then he turned and strode out the door. By the time the witness had recovered from her surprise, the stranger had disappeared. She and a few bar patrons didn't hear the car leave.

Summary: For several days prior to the weird encounter there were multiple reports of UFO sightings in Antigo. On Saturday night, Nov. 16 Mrs Eunice H, proprietor of a local bar and restaurant, had seen with her family a maneuvering light in the sky. Next afternoon while on duty at the bar, the witness saw a little man of strange appearance, 4 1/2 feet tall, enter the bar with a kind of “bouncing” gait; he motioned to her to come closer and addressed her in rapid English, saying, “You saw a bright light on Friday night.” She corrected him, saying it was Saturday night, but he repeated his assertion four times. He was smiling throughout this rapid-fire discourse, showing “a mouthful of white teeth.” His eye level was no higher than the top of the bar, and he wore dark glasses with inch-wide frames; he had a dark complexion, and shiny black hair. His jacket was loosely woven, “like burlap.” He continued his monologue and said a meteor was supposed to have landed nearby, adding something unclear to the witness about “Medford,” repeating the same name several times. He spoke so fast the witness was unable to follow what he was saying; on perceiving this, he threw his arms into the air and exclaimed, “And the whole world lit up!” He then wheeled about and stalked out of the door. By the time the witness had recovered from her surprise, the stranger had disappeared. She and several patrons in the bar had not heard any car drive away.
