Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

The object had two round black dots on its side.

The witnesses ran to get some help, but upon returning both the object and figures were gone.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Ulrich Magin."

Points to consider:

We are not told a lot. For example, no observation distance, no age for the witnesses (children), no indication whether the craft was silent or noisy.

Well, at least, reading the description, I wondered whether this could just have been an helicopter landing...

List of issues:

Evaluation:

Probable confusion by children, helicopter.
