Hoaxed photo of small model with eggshell by 14-yr-old. Explanation: Hoax.
Objects were observed and photographed. Two objects, about 10 feet across, were observed by one male 14-year-old witness in a garden for over 15 minutes (Hill, R).
14-year old Ronnie Hill was playing in the garden when he noticed a strange odor in the air. His eyes began to tear. He then saw a spherical object about 3 meters in diameter descending from the sky and landing on a field nearby. Thinking that nobody would believe him, he ran inside his home and obtained a small Kodak camera. Once outside he saw a small figure emerging from behind the object. The figure was about 1.25 meters in height. It wore a tight-fitting silvery suit and it carried a black object in its hand, which the figure inserted into the ground, he then returned to the object, which took off into the sky at high speed. The odor was described as resembling propane gas. Hill also noticed a total lack of sound during the encounter. A controversial photograph of the humanoid was reportedly taken.
