[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Whitefield, Manchester, England, on June 26, 1959, at an unknown time, the witness was walking along Alexander Avenue when he noticed two men that were walking ahead of him. The men were six-foot tall and had long blond hair; they also wore tight pants and large heavy boots. They turned a corner and when the witness quickly followed, the men had already vanished.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Janet and Colin Bord, Modern Mysteries of Britain.

Points to consider:

The case show little strangeness, little credibility, the character seen are described as men and not humanoids, there is no UFO, it does not seem there was any investigation.
