Driving through a desert area known as 'La Zona Del Silencio", Ruben Lopez began experiencing engine trouble. He stopped his van and became aware that five small figures were standing along the roadside about 100 feet ahead. At first he thought they were lost children, until he noticed that they wore unusual silver one-piece suits. Helmets resembling those used by football players covered the little beings heads. Through the helmets open fronts, Lopez could tell the beings had adult man-like faces. The little men approached the stalled van with curiosity. Scared, Lopez raced the van's engine in neutral, and the little men scattered into the desert darkness. The van then functioned normally again after the beings had vanished.
