Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. One silver cone-shaped object, about 40 feet across, was observed by one male 55-year-old witness on a farm for over 12 minutes (Carrus; Dolecki). Three 8.25-foot-tall robots were seen.
Jean Dolecki was driving home after dark when a luminous object appeared in the sky and landed in a field beside the road, 100 yards away. It had the form of a cylinder with a narrow waist, the upper portion larger than the lower one, 40-45 ft in diameter and 50-60 ft high. From the bottom a bright white light was emitted, which illuminated it. The top surface seemed to be vibrating, and on each side near the top was attached a relatively small vertical helix, which also vibrated. A door opened in the upper portion, and 3 "robots" resembling "aluminum diving suits," 6.5-7 ft tall, descended. They had square heads, disproportionately small legs, and in lieu of arms, a telescopic "pole" about 7 ft long, mounted on the chest. These entities moved about near the UFO, walking in a mechanical way, and wagging their poles up and down, for about 10 minutes; then they re-entered, and the machine took off, disappearing at a vertiginous speed.
