Greek ufology investigators Constantine Trantafyllou and Homer Carajas reported that in the village of Krini, Chalkidiki, Northern Greece, on Sunday of August 1929, about midnight, Theocharis Moustakas, then aged 19, was carrying flour with his cart, returning home after the grinding of wheat at the Krini mill.
Suddenly, he saw an object like a parachute land on a nearby field and three little people speaking a very odd language between them.
They were dressed with white clothes with white hoods and their skin was also white.
Near them there was a fence, and the small men repeatedly jumped over it, very easily.
Terrified, Mr. Moustakas run to the village, and told of his 20 minutes encounter. Some of the villagers told him he saw "devils", others told him he was crazy.

This is a highly interesting story as it occurred long before the modern flying saucer era in a country where extraterrestrial visitors were not a usual topic in the villages and where the folks who heard the witness experience are obviously thinking of anything but a flying saucer and its occupants.
Unfortunately, a crucial point here is the date when it was actually reported publicly. It is not possible with the available information to know whether anyone confirmed that it was reported at the time, or whether it was reported only decades later. Apparently, the case was investigated by ufologists somehow; the investigation report would be an essential part of this file to answer the unresolved questions.
