Two miners, John Q. Black, 48, and John Van Allen, reported that an object, silvery, 2.5 meters in diameter, two meters thick, with a tripod landing gear, landed on a sand bar 50 meters away from them. An occupant described as a broad shouldered dwarf wearing clothing that covered the head and the trunk was also seen. His arms and legs were covered with tweed like cloth fastened at the wrists and ankle. He filled a shiny pail with water and handed it to someone inside the craft. He then appeared to notice Black and jumped into the craft, which made a hissing sound and departed.
