A peasant claims that the two occupants, 2.5 meters tall, invited him to board the craft
Lisbon, September 27. -- Visitors from another world landed on September 24 at 10 a.m. in a location in the Gardunha mountains, on the Spanish-Portuguese border: this was reported to the newspaper "Diaro de Lisboa" by a Portuguese peasant who, along with three of his companions, was working in the area.
"A sphere appeared in the sky to the east," the witness stated. "It flew at a dizzying speed and emitted multicolored flashes. It landed silently about two hundred meters from us, and two figures about 2.5 meters tall descended from it. They looked like men made of aluminum. These visitors first picked some herbs and gathered stones which they placed in a box of blinding brightness. Then, seeing us, they made some sounds."
"Faced with our incomprehension, they invited us by gestures to board their craft. When we refused, they re-entered the machine, which took off vertically and disappeared southward as quickly as it had arrived."
The witness specified that only the poles rotated and that the equatorial part was transparent, allowing moving shadows to be seen inside.
