Mr. and Mrs. George Snitowski and their little girl suddenly found their car stalled, and an unpleasant smell (ether mixed with sulfurous smoke) filled the air. Mr. Snitowski thought a chemical plant might be burning in the area and walked toward a strong light visible in the woods, in spite of the nauseous smell. Coming near it, he felt pricklings throughout his body, had to stop, lost his balance several times as he returned to the car, where he found his wife terrified, pointing to a giant creature (3 meters tall), human-shaped, ten meters away. They locked the car as "it" inspected the vehicle, glided away and went into the woods. Soon afterward, the sphere of light was observed to rise gradually, to swing like a pendulum, and to leave a luminous trail.

One fiery ball, about 80 feet across, was observed by seven military witnesses at a mountain for over 15 minutes (Clise; Hill; Lemon; May). A hissing sound was heard. One 13-foot-tall giant, wearing a black robe and pointed hood, was seen.

A Grigori Snitowski immigrated to the United States on 5 Aug 1940.
