One white cloud-like object was observed by one male witness in a residential area for ten minutes (Mercier). Three 4-foot-tall broad-shouldered beings, each wearing a black diver's suit and helmet, were seen.

A 9-year old boy, Mario Mercier, was alone on an ice skating rink on a sunny day when he observed a spherical white "cloud" fall rapidly from the sky, and come to rest beside the extension of his house, 700 ft away. Out of this "cloud," bout 7 ft in diameter, stepped 3 chunky, square shouldered little men 4 ft tall, wearing black clothing and black square helmets. One carried a little square black "kettle," which he proceeded to fill with snow. Then he walked to the Mercier's chicken house, and was just about to open its door when the boy cried out. He turned toward the boy, who tried to hide himself in a hockey net. Then he went back, and with one of the others, was seen to "climb" back into the "cloud," which then rose swiftly vertically. Left on the ground, and seen by other members of the family, were square tracks in the snow, and a 10" circle of black soot where the grass was burned. It was 2 years before the grass grew again.
