A 3-foot ball of fire dropped into the road several ft in front of John Womack's car. He followed it until it rolled into a meadow, when he stopped and got out. It rose and disappeared, and a huge silvery object, like a disc with shallow upper and lower domes, appeared instead. 150 ft in diameter and 5o ft high, it was surrounded by a yellowish blue glow. A beam of light moved slowly toward the ground and spread out on reaching it, and the UFO began to descend. As Womack retreated, a beam of red light struck him in the face; he woke up aboard the UFO, sitting in a padded chair with a metal helmet on his head. In the room were intricate looking devices and 3 sorts of beings; 2 "leaders" with nose less faces and mouths like a porpoise's. 3 giants at least 8 ft tall with hairy torsos and brutal looking faces, and 6-8 5-foot creatures with flipper feet, 6 crab like arms, 2 antennae, and beards, whose bodies were covered with "greenish warty lumps," and whose faces wore a grinning expression. A large TV screen covered one wall. One leader spoke to the witness by means of a translating machine, telling him he would not be harmed, and shook his hand. He was then told that demons are responsible for all evil and suffering; the ufonauts use a pill that expels them. Their planet is 40 years distant; they live on food pellets; their ships are propelled by solar energy. They have been studying the earth for several thousand years. The witness was taken on a tour of the ship, and then given a view of the alien's solar system. He came to himself sitting on the ground, and saw the UFO leave.
