Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Rio Verde, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, on September 30, 1965, according to two locals, Juan Gutierrez and Rafael Raul Torres they encountered a bizarre humanoid described as having "three heads and only one eye." They watched the creature from 15 meters away. It emitted bright flashes of light from its eye. It had apparently come out from a nearby landed disc-shaped object. No other information.

Albert Rosales indicates as source Contacto Ovni.

Points to consider:

"Contacto OVNI" is a quasi unusable reference; it could refer to a rather sensationnalist bulletin of this name which was published in Mexico in 1965.

Since there seems to be no other information, no published investigation, the question of the story's credibility is obviously strongly posed.

I sometimes hear that if extraterrestrial beings visited us, they would not be "like us"; but in this occurrence, it is rather the idea of a creature with three heads but one eye only which screams "hoax" to me.
