An object was observed. Traces found. One white ovoid object, about 10 feet across, around 100 feet away, was observed in clear weather by one female 12-year-old witness in a bedroom for five minutes (Amato; Brewer; Marchand; Wald). A beeping sound was heard. 15 3-foot-tall dwarves, each wearing a diver's suit and fishbowl helmet, were seen.
The witness, a 12-year-old girl, heard a "bloop-bloop" noise and looked out her window; she saw a white egg shaped object, a little larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground beside the disused Winsted railroad station. A ray of light came out of the craft, pointed downward, and 15-20 little men about 3 ft tall walked in single file down this ray and jumped to the ground. They were dressed in dull silver clothing and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They proceeded to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with a hand over hand movement; when they reached the roof, they spread out in different directions. The girl became frightened and went to bed.
