Location: 
Portugal

Martha was walking home to her village in Northern Portugal when she saw some strange lights flashing in the sky. 

At first she thought they were planes, but the lights seemed to get bigger, and she couldn't hear the sound of the engine. Then she saw a huge ship in the shape of a "sausage", about 100 meters long, with flashing red and yellow lights. 

The ship hovered over a field where cows were grazing. The lights seemed to frighten the cows, and suddenly one of the animals began to rise into the air, as if the object was lifting it. The cow rose and disappeared into the hole in the UFO. 

Then the object flew away with the speed of a shot, making a "whistling" sound.
