An object was observed. It departed by rapidly flying straight up until lost to sight. Occupants of the craft were seen. Physiological effects were noted. One object, about 5 feet across, was observed by one female witness in a yard (Fortier, S). A whistling sound was heard. A 3-foot-tall wrinkled dwarf was seen.
Mrs Susanne Fortier, with her collie dog, was walking on the lawn behind her house. Hearing a "wind or whistle," she observed a small object land in the vicinity of the children's playhouse. It was about five feet in diameter, with 8 "pods or legs," windows or doors all around it, and an antenna on top. The interior was a bright red, or illuminated by a red light, and contained six occupants 3-foot tall who had long slit-like eyes, ape like noses, and no hair. The skin of their faces seemed very wrinkled. They wore gloves. Mrs Fortier could hear "a garble of voices" talking, like a bunch of CB voices, and felt extreme heat from the craft. She watched it for about 15 minutes, after which it rose straight up and flew off to the south. When she got back in the house she found her face and legs red from the heat. Her dog, which reacted noticeably to the object, would still not let her go near the area a month later. No traces were found at the site, which was muddy.
