Two XC skiers saw round 10 feet metallic object with flat bottom descend to 10 feet of ground. From opening came light beam, red-gray mist. 3' being thin arms and legs, green coverall, conical helmet, pale,hook nose

One metallic domed disc, about 10 feet across, about ten feet away, was observed in snowy weather by two male witnesses, typical age 36, in a forest for over three minutes (Heinonen, A; Viljo). A buzzing sound was heard. One 3-foot-tall pallid being, wearing a green coverall and cone cap, was seen.

Aarno Heinonen and Esko Viljo saw a bright light in the sky approaching them with a buzzing sound. A round 10-foot wide metallic object with a flat bottom, wrapped at first in a reddish gray mist, descended to within 10-12 ft of the ground, and the buzzing ceased. It was so close to Heinonen that he could have touched it with his ski pole. From an opening in the center of the object's bottom, a bright light beam was the emitted, creating an illuminated area of 3 ft in diameter on the snow beneath it, edged with black. A red gray mist descended again; when it cleared both men could see, only 10 feet away, a 3-foot tall humanoid creature standing in the illuminated area, carrying in its hands a black box with a pulsating yellow light. The arms and legs were very thin, the face pale like wax, and the nose hooked; it wore a light green coverall with darker green knee boots, white gauntlets, and a conical metallic helmet. Then the mist again descended, and long red, green and purple "sparks" floated out from the lighted area. A sort of flame rose from this spot and entered the UFO; then the mist vanished, as did the UFO. After this experience, Heinonen found his right leg numb, vomited, and passed black urine; Viljo also suffered severe physiological effects. The former would claim, two years later, a series of contacts with a female spacewoman.
