A Waimata farmer had waken up early in the morning after hearing his dogs barking; outside, he saw a UFO on the ground near his house about 100 feet away. It was saucer shaped, red in color and he could see two open doors or ports. Near his kennels were two silver suited humanoid figures of slight build; they were carrying off one of his dogs, which appeared to be unconscious. He got his gun and opened fire on the creatures, hitting one; they dropped the animal and the figure that was hit staggered off into the bushes while the second one entered the object, which then took off. Friends visiting the farmer later found him in a state of shock, fearful that they would return for retribution. The incident occurred during a rash of UFO sightings in the area.
