Kofu, Japan
Unintelligible language. Landing in vineyard. Occupant emerged, touched child on shoulder, paralysis. Then it reboarded. Boys ran in hysterics to get parents, who saw orange-red light hovering over.
Flying discs were observed. Occupants of the craft were seen. Traces found. Two red-orange domed discs, about 20 feet across, were observed by three witnesses on a farm for over one minute (Kouno). A ticking sound was heard. One 4.3-foot-tall being was seen.
Two 7-year old boys saw a luminous orange aerial object approach, with a "ticking" sound, and land on 3 balls on a nearby vineyard. It was discoidal, 15 ft in diameter and 6 ft high. They approached it closely, finding that it was silver colored and had unknown words embossed on its surface. A ladder was extended to the ground, and a humanoid slightly over 4 ft tall disembarked. He wore silver colored clothing and carried something like a gun. His skin was dark brown and he had pointed ears, but his large head had no eyes, nose or mouth, merely wrinkles on the "face," and 3 silver colored "fangs" 2" long where the mouth should be. Both boys could see another, smaller humanoid in the cockpit, holding a control lever. The one who had emerged patted one of the witnesses twice on the shoulder, and uttered words "like a taper recorder running backwards." Paralyzed by fright the witness sat down; but the other boy took him on his back and ran from the vineyard. They ran to one of the witness house and informed their parents, who could at first see the orange light pulsating in the vineyard; then it disappeared as they watched. 2 concrete posts were found displaced at the site.
