Initial data
Two ten-year-old girls heard a strange humming sound while playing in a field near their home. It seemed to come from the nearest forest.
They went to the place of the supposed source of the sound and saw on the ground or near it an object of cylindrical shape, topped by a small dome with a constant red light.
The object was about 30 feet (9 m) long and had a metallic color; a red stripe encircled the lower part. The girls, who were about 300 yards (90 m) away, believed the object was two feet (0.6 m) above the ground - the same height as the fence placed between them and the object. They didn't see the landing gear.
To the right of the object was a very tall, thin "man", partially hidden by bushes between them. He was at least six feet (1.8 m) tall, his arms were disproportionately short, and he was fully clad in silver.
When he started to approach them, the girls got scared and ran away. At a safer distance, they turned and saw that the man had disappeared.
Then the object began to float, moving away in three jerks and "increasing", and then rising vertically at an amazing speed. They hurried home and told their parents, who said they heard a buzzing sound.
Police were notified and a circular area of about 100 yards (90 m) was found at the site with minor damage including charred trees and undergrowth.

Two ten-year old girls heard a strange humming sound while playing in a field near their house; appearing to come from a nearby woods, they approached and saw an object on or near the ground, of a cylindrical shape, surmounted by a small dome with a steady red light. The object was perhaps 30 feet long and of a metallic color; a red band encircled the lower section. The girls, approximately 300 yards away, believed the object was two feet above the ground—the same height as a fence situated between them and the object. They could see no landing gear. To the right of the object was a very tall thin “man,” partially hidden by bushes in between; at least six-foot tall, his arms were disproportionately short, and he was dressed all in silver. When he started to move toward them, the girls became frightened and fled; at a safer distance they turned and saw the man had disappeared; the object then began to ascend, moving off in three jerky “stepped up” maneuvers and then ascending vertically at terrific speed. They hurried home and told their parents, who said they had heard the humming sound. The police were notified, and a circular area of about 100 yards of minor damage, including singed trees and underbrush, was found at the site.
