Ixtapalapa, Mexico
Little man report, no UFO.
Humanoid being seen. An unidentified object at close range and its occupants were observed by more than two male witnesses on a highway (Alvarez).
Raimundo Alvarez and Pancho Torres, masons, were working on a roof drain when they heard a humming sound, then noticed that all ordinary daytime sounds had ceased, creating a "stifling" silence. About 50 yards away Alvarez saw two strange figures about 8-foot tall, dressed in bright silvery clothing resembling fish scales. As they approached, the two men could see that the beings were "unusually broad," and "slender, the rounded head bright silvery in color, with two round bumps in place of eyes, small ears, no visible mouth or nose, hands with 4 fingers, and large webbed feet like those of ducks." They "seemed to float in air" while walking. They approached the two men but just then a woman carrying a can of milk came around the corner, and the two creatures "flew" toward her. A great deal of dust arose from the ground; the two entities disappeared into it and were not seen again.
