Loxton, South Africa
Four beings 5' tall moved inside landed oval UFO. Small, thin, pale, fair hair, slant eyes, high cheekbones (similar to AVB abduction). Wore cream coveralls. Light beam hit face, eye trouble, nose bleed.
An object was observed. Occupants of the craft were seen. Physiological effects were noted. Ground traces were found. One aluminum ovoid object was observed by one experienced male witness in the veldt (Van Graan, D). A humming sound was heard. Four 4.1-foot-tall nordic-asiatic beings, each wearing a light coverall and hood, were seen.
Danie Van Graan walked across his land and came upon what he first thought was a "caravan," but as he came closer he could see that it was an oval shaped object with rounded windows. Inside he could see four humanoids 5 ft tall, with very long faces and high foreheads, and fair hair. They all wore cream-colored coveralls with hoods, which were off their heads. One of the men was holding an instrument of some kind; another was near an instrument panel with little triangular lights. The witness heard a pulsating humming sound. As he approached, a flap near one of the windows opened with a bang; and a beam of light shone in his face, causing his nose to bleed. After 10 minutes the humming sound became louder and the craft took off. The landing marks found at the scene were four equidistant and one in the center in which the witness found a green putty like substance which was analyzed by the South African Geological Survey Department. At the landing site nothing would subsequently grow. The witness also found footprints. The witness has suffered from double vision ever since the incident.
