Stepan Korneychuk was fishing with some friends and his dog and after briefly detaching himself from the rest of the group; unexpectedly he saw at a distance of 30-40 meters a short dark humanoid figure with large silvery eyes, apparently looking at him. Korneychuk perceived that the creature wanted him to approach more closely. The dog suddenly stopped at this moment, perking its ears. Terrified, Stepan began to yell out for his friends; however when he looked back at the creature it was already gone. Closer examination at the location where the creature had stood revealed a hole on the snow about 80cm in diameter. Many other inhabitants in the region reported seeing bright multicolored star-like objects maneuvering over the area.
