Close encounter with a an unidentified craft and its occupants. More than two luminous elongated objects were observed in cloudy weather by one male witness on a road (Leduc). Three 7.5-foot-tall tall beings were seen.

Bud Le Duc was driving home from Toppenish when his headlights fell on 3 men standing beside the road. One of these jumped in one bound to the middle of the roadway, a distance of about 15 ft; the leap appeared to be in slow motion. The man then slowly raised both arms above his head. Le Duc swerved and passed within 2 or 3 ft of him. The man was 7-8 ft tall and very thin, with long arms and matted reddish shoulder length hair. His very long face had a long pointed nose and dead white skin. The upper lip was pulled back to show the teeth; the lower lip was very thin. He wore a black one-piece garment with white bands at the wrists and ankles and a patch of white at the neck, and black boots. The other 2 men were dressed the same way. The man in the road held in his left hand "something red-purple with a wire on it." Le Duc drove on past, but shortly afterwards saw an elongated luminous object behind his truck, which blinked on and off several times. Soon afterward, a bright light illuminated the truck cab and its surroundings, and stayed with the truck until Le Duc reached his home. (Other sources (Long) indicate that at the same time that Le Duc encountered the strange men on the road, the image of a very close friend that had been recently killed in a car accident appeared sitting in the passenger seat.)
