A story without original sources appeared in many books and catalogues. It said that on September 20, 1965, at 04:30 p.m., near the town of Pichaca, district of Puno, in southeast Peru, a shepherdess saw a half dozen of 32-inch-tall creatures come out of a landed UFO.
The sheperdess reportedly said they talked together in a language which sounded "like the cackling of geese", and wore white clothing that emitted intermittent flashes of light.
She was so frightened that she fled and hid.
It is said that later a liquid resembling oil was found on the ground.

British ufologist Gordon Creighton indicates that in the small town of Pichaca, district of Puna, Peru of the South-east, at 04:30 in the afternoon of September 20, 1965, a shepherdess saw six entities, 80 to 90 centimeters, coming out of an UFO on the ground.
The creatures spoke an incomprehensible language which reminded her "the cackle of geese." She ran away and hid.
The creatures left some traces on the ground, of a liquid resembling oil. Their clothing was white and emitted intermittent flashes of light.
Gordon Creighton, unusually, indicates no sources for this report.

The sources are indicated as "Vallee Magonia Database" and "Rosales, Albert, Humanoid Sighting Reports Database".
[Ref. ud2:] "UFODNA" WEBSITE:
The website indicates that on September 20, 1965, at 16:30, in Pichacani, Peru, there was a case of unintelligible language, a shepard [sic] girl saw 6 little beings 2.5 to 3 feet all emerge from a metallic landed UFO, wearing white suits that emitted flashes of light and talked an unintelligible language like "cackling geese".
There were, as traces, a liquid resembling oil, and metallic traces.
The website indicates that the sources are Webb, David, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports; Steiger, Brad, Flying Saucers are Hostile, Award A234S, New York, 1967; Lorenzen, Coral E., Flying Saucer Occupants, Signet T3205, New York, 1967; Lorenzen, Coral E., Encounters with UFO Occupants, Berkley Medallion, New York, 1976, ISBN:425-03093-8; FSR, FSR (formerly Flying Saucer Review), FSR, London, 1966; Bowen, Charles, The Humanoids: FSR Special Edition No. 1, FSR, London, 1966; Pereira, Jader U., Les Extra-Terrestres, Phenomenes Spatiaux, Paris, 1974; Vallee, Jacques, A Century of Landings (N = 923), (in JVallee04), Chicago, 1969; Schoenherr, Luis, Computerized Catalog (N = 3173); Phillips, Ted R., Ted Phillips investigation files; Phillips, Ted R., Physical Traces Associated with UFO Sightings, CUFOS, Chicago, 1975; Hatch, Larry, *U* computer database, Author, Redwood City, 2002.
Obviously the unknown origin of the story makes me very suspicious.
And what if the shepperdess was actually someone not very bright and having heard the many stories of saucer people at the time there, who, when some actual geese came out some distant shack she became frightened and thought it was little men from a saucer? Would she not have said that they walked like ducks and spoke like geese cackling?
