Driving on an isolated road near the village a soldier along with is wife and mother in law began experiencing engine trouble in their automobile, first they seemed to loose oil pressure and suddenly the engine began to misfire. Then the engine stopped completely. The soldier exited the vehicle to look under the hood. Suddenly he heard his wife yell, "Look!" At a distance of 15-20 meters from them and at a height of a 3-4 story house flew an object the shape of a tortoise, whose lower half was dark and the top half shone brightly. As the witness watched mesmerized a lighted area became visible and within the lighted area he saw a man, who appeared to be attentively examining the ground. At this point his wife attempted to approach but her body became heavy "like lead" and she was unable to move a muscle. While his mother in law stayed in the vehicle in apparent indifference. He described the man as having curly black hair, southern European type facial features, and dark complexioned with a very sharp and defined nose. The object had been sharply inclined to the right when it simultaneously shut off the light and rapidly collected speed and flew away into the distance. Curiously after the incident the car that the witness had driven that day went on operating for 120 thousand km without any repairs.
