Family camping in trailer awoke to frantic barking of their dog. Stepping outside, saw landing of two sombrero-shaped UFOs. three huge entities, 3x human size, stepped out, collected plants. Departed 10 min
Flying discs were observed. Physiological effects were noted. Angel hair were found. Two violet domed discs, about 80 feet across, were observed by four witnesses at a campsite for ten minutes (Vas). A buzzing sound was heard. Three 16-foot-tall giants, each wearing a luminous suit, were seen.
George Vas and his wife and 2 daughters were asleep in their trailer when they were awakened by the barking of their dog, and heard a loud noise like the buzzing of a swarm of wasps. It came from an object shaped like a sombrero, 25-30 yards in diameter, which was brilliantly violet-luminous. From the craft descended three beings "about 3 times as large as humans," which had "blocky arms and legs and shapeless bodies," and emitted a purple and yellow glow. For about 10 minutes they gathered sugar cane and other plant specimens, without concern for the observers. Olga Vas said that the beings descended from the larger craft in a small object similar in shape. At one point one of the entities moved close enough to the group for Mr. Vas to call out in alarm; the 'spaceman" showed no concern and, after picking up several rocks, moved away. They re-entered their craft and the object took off vertically; as it did so, the hair on the witnesses' bodies stood up "as if affected by a form of magnetism."
