Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. An unidentified object at close range and its occupants were observed by two witnesses in a yard (Knecht).

At 2130, Dave and Phyllis Knecht saw a large white light moving in the sky. When he turned the porch lights on and off several times, the UFO made a U-turn and headed toward the house; then, when they thought it was going to crash into the house, it shot away again. At 2330 they saw 2 white and one blue and green lights, which maneuvered for 20 minutes, after which one of them, hovered over a nearby dairy farm. At 0100A when they last went out, it was still there; then they both heard peculiar footsteps, sounding "like the sound you would get if you break fresh lettuce for a salad," or "walking with boots filled with water." Dave pushed Phyllis into the house. Looking over his shoulder, he saw a grayish-white figure across the road; it was short (about 5 ft tall) and "had limbs." Frightened, he turned on all the lights of the house. Phyllis heard the "weird" footsteps again, but saw nothing.
