Patrolmen A. G. Huskey and C. Hutchins saw a dark, spherical machine with a flat rim land near them. Estimated diameter: seven meters. An opening and a short ladder became visible, and a small man, dressed in a shiny gold suit, emerged, came within six meters of them, and spoke in perfect English before taking off.

One ball, about 20 feet across, was observed by two experienced male witnesses (as reported to the police) on a road for two minutes. A whirring sound was heard. One 4-foot-tall dwarf was seen.

Two police officers, C Hutchins and A Huskey, were driving in an outlying section of Gaffney known as the West Buford Street Extension when as they neared a right angle bend in the road, they suddenly saw a metallic object directly in front of them. This object was descending when they first saw it, Hutchins said, and was about twenty feet above the ground. He described it as being spherical, like a ball, with a wide, flat rim around it. There were no lights or portholes visible on it. It was completely dark, reflecting a dull gold color in the headlights of the police car. The car did not stall. As the object settled to within a few feet of the ground, both men gout out of their car in a state of benumbed amazement. Later Hutchins estimated that the object must have been about twenty ft in diameter. A small door suddenly opened noiselessly on the underside of the sphere, he said, and a short ladder, four to six feet long, dropped down. White light poured out of the opening, but neither man could see anything in the interior. A figure appeared in the doorway, descended the ladder, and walked slowly and deliberately toward the two police officers. When the figure reached a point about fifteen to twenty feet from the two men, it stopped. "He didn't move stiffly," officer Hutchins said. "He moved just like anybody else, but kind of slow...like he was taking his time. He wasn't scared of us or anything like that." In appearance, the humanoid was about the size of a twelve-year-old boy, maybe four feet. He wore no helmet or headgear and was dressed in a gold suit with no buttons or zippers. His costume was shiny, like metal, in the reflection of the headlights, it was not self-luminous. The humanoid asked numerous questions and ignored the witnesses when they asked any questions. Hutchins could not remember seeing the feet of the creature. It was standing on high grass and the feet must have been hidden. Both men could not really remember the full context of the "conversation". Hutchins claimed the alien spoke perfect English, "Didn't have any accent or anything. He acted like he knew exactly what he was saying and doing...didn't make any quick moves or false moves. He just stood there and talked to the witnesses." He wanted to know why both me were dressed alike. His speech was very precise. He pronounced each work very carefully. When asked where he was from he just laughed. The meeting was brief, perhaps only 2 or 3 minutes. Then, Hutchins say, the creature announced, "I...will...return...in...two...days" he turned, walked slowly back to the ladder and climbed into the object. The door closed quietly and the craft began to whirr, a soft whirring sound, like an engine with a muffler on it. The object rose slowly and vanished into the sky. A local councilman found numerous footprints at the site where the little man had stood. There was no return visit by the alien.
