The witness was walking along a fenced field when he suddenly heard the unnatural barking of a dog that came running by him and dived under a concrete wall. Wandering what had frightened the dog; he looked to his right and noticed about ten meters from the road, above the grass and at about half a meter up, a huge transparent "soap bubble". It was covered with all the colors of the rainbow and it was slowly approaching the witness position. The sphere stopped about 6 meters from him and he began to grow turbid and was unable to move. The surface of the sphere resembled a cellular structure of a three-sided trihedral. The sphere stood still inches above the grass. Terrified the witness wanted to run away but could not move a muscle. Suddenly on the surface of the sphere a slot-like aperture became evident, pink light twinkled from inside. From the aperture a silvery blue "mannequin" slowly came out and approached to within a meter of the witness. It was taller then the witness and slender, wearing a seamless metallic suit. On the center of its massive head it had what appeared to be a large round "eyepiece" the witness could not see any movement inside the dull visor. The witness then heard a soft whistle and something picked him up, switched him into a horizontal position and then he floated into the sphere. Inside the sphere all the fear seemed to melt away; he experienced a feeling of ecstasy. He was surprised to see that the interior of the object was far larger than what it appeared from the outside. As the floated just above the floor a figure wearing what resembled a motorcycle helmet floated rapidly towards him. A similar helmet was placed on the witness's head. At this point he heard inside his head a squeaky voice. It said that they meant no harm that they just wanted to have a "talk" with him, if he agreed. The witness attempted to float down to the floor but was unable to reach it. At this point he was allowed to ask several questions and before him a large silvery screen appeared. He saw on it the image of our solar system; he briefly explained the earth rotation around the sun and its relationship with the other planets. He also attempted to explain earth's basic system of calculation. He also explained the purpose of societies and the role of the United Nations. After awhile the helmet was removed from the witness, he then floated out an open slot and into the road. The opening on the sphere then closed. Then it began to brighten; it acquired the tint of a shiny mother of pearl and its transparency. It then sharply shot upwards and in a matter of seconds it disappeared into the sky. He arrived home pale, and began to vomit and suffer from terrible muscle spasms. He suffered from general weakness and fainting spells for a week after the encounter. He further described the interior of the ship as having continuous rows of screens resembling small squares, similar to glazed tiles. Periodically he would see symbols or writing on them resembling Chinese. The humanoids appeared to be able to control this panels by hand movements only. He was astonished to see his thoughts also appear on the screens. Everything he spoke was duplicated by the humanoids, which never took off their diving suits or helmets. They moved by sliding just above the floor, they appeared to have one dual foot. He saw a total of 3 humanoids. Their outer appearance seemed identical.
