Close encounter with a craft and its occupants. An unidentified object at close range and its occupants were observed by one witness in a desert (Van Tassel).

Sleeping out in the desert, George Van Tassel woke up and saw a man who introduced himself as "Solgando" and said he would be pleased to show Van Tassel his craft which. About 9 ft high and 36 ft in diameter, was hovering 100 yards away. Unable to rouse his wife Van Tassel went aboard for 20 minutes, seeing among other things a lighting system without switches and furniture that folded into the wall. Solgando's purpose was to give Van Tassel the designs for a machine to rejuvenate the old; he himself was 700 years old. Their religion is "the same as yours, but you talk about it, we live it."
