A bedroom window on the second floor of a couple living in a small unnamed village opens onto a courtyard, behind which is a large orchard. 

The wife was lying awake when she noticed a pink and purple light coming from the left side of the window, the intensity of which rapidly increased as the source approached. 

Then an object the size of a large car arrived at the window and hovered motionless just 4-7 feet (1.2-2.1 m) away. It was a dark body, lenticular, with obliquely cut ends, with many flashing lights, alternately red and white, around the circumference, and with a large dome of transparent material, almost rectangular in profile, from which a pink and purple glow emanated.

Inside this transparent dome - just 15 feet (4.5 m) from the observer - you could see the upper half of two human silhouettes, their backs turned, and their heads gave the impression of being covered with tight-fitting hoods. 

She woke her husband. When he saw the UFO (which began to move very slowly away), he wanted to go down to the yard, but his wife wouldn't let him. The object continued to slowly recede, without gaining altitude, and eventually (at a distance of about 800 feet (240 m)) disappeared from view over the orchard.

Summary: The second floor bedroom window of a married couple, living in a small-unnamed village, faces a little courtyard beyond, which lies a large orchard. The wife was lying awake when she noticed a rose-violet light coming from the left side of the window, which rapidly increased in intensity as its source came closer. There then arrived at the window an object the size of a large car, which hovered motionless only 4-7 ft away from it. It was a dark body, lenticular with obliquely truncated ends, with a number of blinking lights, alternately red and white, around its circumference, and with a large cupola of transparent material, nearly rectangular in profile, from which emanated the rose and violet luminosity. Inside this transparent cupola could be seen—hardly 15 ft, from the observer—the upper half of two human silhouettes, whose backs were turned, and whose heads gave the impression of being covered with tight fitting hoods. She awakened her husband. When he saw the UFO (which had begun to recede very slowly), he wanted to go down into the courtyard, but his wife would not let him. The object continued to move away slowly without gaining altitude, and eventually (at about 800 ft. distance) was lost to view over the orchard.
