The four boys were walking in an isolated area and were waiting to be picked up by their parents when suddenly their attention was drawn to a glittering object in the distance and they saw two men to the West of the object. 

The men were dressed in shiny silver outfits. These people seemed to be gliding through the area, and at the top of the hill they were joined by a third man who seemed to be carrying a small suitcase. Then the men slid to the dividing fence and climbed over it, one stopping to look at the boys. A silver suit covered his forehead, leaving only his face clean, and his skin was gray. 

Then the men slid up the hill and seemed to disappear as they reached the top.

 During the incident, witnesses noticed a strange silence in the area, and some of them felt disoriented. Possible traces of soil were found on the site.
