Ground marks.
An object was observed. Ground traces were found. One object was observed in overcast weather by four male witnesses, typical age 16, in a rural area for over one minute (Perino; Simpson).
Four young boys had been out hiking in an isolated area and were now waiting to be picked up by their parents when suddenly their attention was drawn to a glistening object in the distance, they then saw two men just west of the object. The men wore shiny silvery outfits. These men appeared to move across the terrain in a gliding motion, on top of the hill they were joined by a third man that appeared to be carrying a small suitcase. The men then glided towards a dividing fence and glided over it, one stopped to look at the boys. The silver suit covered his forehead, leaving only his face clear, he had gray skin. The men then glided up a hill and seemed to disappear upon reaching the summit. During the incident the witnesses noticed a strange silence in the area and a couple of them felt disoriented. Possible ground traces were found on the site.
