Reported encounter with inhuman beings involving radiation effects. One red oval object, about fifty feet away, was observed by three male witnesses, typical age 12, in a yard for ten minutes (Wells). A noise was heard.

Young Gregory L Wells was returning from his grandmother's house to his own home, next door, when he saw an oval UFO hovering just over some trees. The large red object was so bright that it illuminated the road, according to Mrs. James E Wells the boy's mother. It had a band of dimmer red lights flashing around its center. "I stopped," Gregory recalled. "I wanted to run or scream but suddenly a big tube came out of the bottom, which moved from side to side until it came to me, and a beam of light shot out." Gregory turned away as the light beam hit the upper part of his arm, knocking him to the ground. His jacket caught fire and the boy rolled around on the ground screaming with fright. Both his mother and grandmother responded. Mrs. James Wells also reported seeing the UFO, which "just faded away." During the sighting, a large night light on a nearby pole went out. And the dog barked uncontrollably.
