Leoncio Jara Torres and his wife Elena were driving in a truck near Carabaya when a UFO descended and landed about 100 feet away. It was 60 ft wide and 10 ft high, had 2 windows on the sides, and emitted a blinding luminosity. The truck's motor stalled as the object came down. From it emerged two men 5'5" in height, who wore shiny clothing and walked with very short steps; both carried lamps of blinding intensity. These men walked up to the truck and slapped the witnesses on the shoulders with their hands. The hands were felt to be burning hot---"the heat went to our very bones"---but the witnesses remained as if hypnotized. After about a minute, the men walked back to their craft, which rose vertically. The witness and his wife were medically treated for an "intense nervousness," but later found that the arthritis from which they both suffered was alleviated after the encounter. Traces were found at the landing site.
