A large object on the ground and a small "ghost"
Four children came out of their home as dog barked furiously. They found a large object on the ground and a small being they thought was a "ghost" in the yard. Raymond Romand, 12, threw stones at the intruder. An object was observed. Electromagnetic, gravity and physiological effects were noted. Ground traces were found.One red ball, about 20 feet across, was observed in rainy weather by four witnesses, typical age 12, on a farm for 30 minutes (Romand, R). A 3.5-foot-tall robot, wearing a metallic suit, was seen.
Four children saw a ball of fire hovering in a meadow and 2 "tin ghosts," shaped "like a lump of sugar split at the bottom." Raymond Romand, 12, threw pebbles at one; on going to touch it, he was flung to the ground by an ice-cold force. A 12-foot circle of flattened grass was found at the site.
