One of the local residents living outside the hamlet who had never believed "neither in hell nor in God or UFOs" at one point reported experiencing a series of strange events. He reportedly came upon a landed disc-shaped object and began contacting the alien crew on a regular basis. He was later visited by an "unearthly being" twice and even stranger still once a month a powerful humming sound was heard under his wooded cabin, even his window panes shook as a result of the hum. The witness attributed this part of the phenomena to underground Soviet military activity in the area. According to the source there is possibly an underground alien base in the remote region amid the forests of eastern Latvia.
