Physiological effects: witness paralyzed. four 5' tall humanoids, had antennas on helmets. Power out.
An object was observed. Electromagnetic and physiological effects were noted. One object was observed by one male witness at an excavation for 50 minutes.
A young man walking near a field suddenly saw the area illuminated by a bright light and could no longer see his surroundings. Up on a nearby hill he saw an oval shaped object resting on the ground. A human like figure with two antennae like protrusions on his head, stood by the object. Frightened he ran away but fell as four humanoids approached apparently in bizarre bounding like movements. The witness fainted and when he woke up he saw four five-foot tall entities wearing buttoned jackets, a backpack and helmets with antennae. Their hands appeared pincer-like. He fainted again, woke up later and everything had vanished.
