Close encounter with a craft and its occupants. An unidentified object at close range and its occupants were observed by several female witnesses at a bar (Hodak). One 4.5-foot-tall dwarf, wearing a burlap jacket, was seen.

For several days prior to the weird encounter there were multiple reports of UFO sightings in Antigo. On Saturday night, Nov. 16 Mrs Eunice H, proprietor of a local bar and restaurant, had seen with her family a maneuvering light in the sky. Next afternoon while on duty at the bar, the witness saw a little man of strange appearance, 4 1/2 feet tall, enter the bar with a kind of "bouncing" gait; he motioned to her to come closer and addressed her in rapid English, saying, "You saw a bright light on Friday night." She corrected him, saying it was Saturday night, but he repeated his assertion four times. He was smiling throughout this rapid-fire discourse, showing "a mouthful of white teeth." His eye level was no higher than the top of the bar, and he wore dark glasses with inch-wide frames; he had a dark complexion, and shiny black hair. His jacket was loosely woven, "like burlap." He continued his monologue and said a meteor was supposed to have landed nearby, adding something unclear to the witness about "Medford," repeating the same name several times. He spoke so fast the witness was unable to follow what he was saying; on perceiving this, he threw his arms into the air and exclaimed, "And the whole world lit up!" He then wheeled about and stalked out of the door. By the time the witness had recovered from her surprise, the stranger had disappeared. She and several patrons in the bar had not heard any car drive away.
