A farmer, Adolfo Serrate, was working on a field when he watched a silvery metallic shell shaped object descend from the sky and land on a nearby vegetable field. From behind a growth of weeds, he observed two small human like figures, one apparently behind a window inside the object, and the other walking around the object. Both figures wore some type of diving suit. The entity outside the object spent several minutes collecting "malanga" roots. Then with his arms full of uprooted plants he re-boarded the object. The object then began giving off a blue fire and white smoke; it then quickly disappeared among the clouds at high speed. The Ministry of the Interior dispatched a team to investigate. At the site they found physical evidence, including footprints, and leaves scorched black by the object's propulsion system. The material was reportedly turned over to the Cuban Academy of Sciences.
