SUMMER 1978, PUEBLA NUEVO, MEXICO, TOMAS ORNELAS SALDANA:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Ufologist Fabio Picasso reportedly said that in Puebla Nuevo, Mexico, on Summer 1978, at 1900, Tomas Ornelas Saldana had gone with his father to a nearby creek in order to fill some jugs with water.

As he approached the creek by foot, he noticed three multi-colored football-sized spheres hovering over a nearby tree. These suddenly blinked out.

As he proceeded to fill the jugs with water he felt someone watching him, he looked back at the tree and saw, standing on one of its branches a bizarre looking little creature, staring intently at him.

Stunned, he stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. Meanwhile, Tomas's father was in the parked car nearby and had not seen anything strange but did see his son stumble. Without taking his eyes off the figure, Tomas began filling the jugs with water.

He described the figure as about 1.50 meters in height, with greenish scaly skin, except for its hands and feet, which were black and claw-like. On the left side of its chest it had a symbol resembling an inverted triangle that appeared to be part of the skin. It did not appeared to be wearing any clothing except for a belt, which consisted of several small inverted triangle-shaped sections. It had a normal sized hairless head with two huge pointy shorthaired covered ears, huge shiny cat-like eyes, a small wide nose, and a mouth with thin lips.

Tomas also noticed two shiny objects hovering over the tree.

A later a search of the area for the being proved futile.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Puebla Nuevo, Mexico, on Summer 1978, at 1900, Tomas Ornelas Saldana had gone with his father to a nearby creek in order to fill some jugs with water. As he approached the creek on foot he notice three multi colored football-sized spheres hovering over a nearby tree, these suddenly blinked out. As he proceeded to fill the jugs with water he felt someone watching him, he looked back at the tree and saw, standing on one of its branches a bizarre looking little creature, staring intently at him. Stunned he stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. Meanwhile Tomas's father was in the parked car nearby and had not seen anything strange but did see his son stumble. Without taking his eyes off the figure, Tomas began filling the jugs with water. He described the figure as about 1 meter and 50 cm in height, with greenish scaly skin, except for its hands and feet, which were black and claw-like. On the left side of its chest it had a symbol resembling an inverted triangle that appeared to be part of the skin. It did not appeared to be wearing any clothing except for a belt, which consisted of several small inverted triangle-shaped sections. It had a normal sized hairless head with two huge pointy shorthaired covered ears, huge shiny cat-like eyes, a small wide nose, and a mouth with thin lips. As Tomas watched he also noticed two shiny objects hovering over the tree. A later a search of the area for the being proved futile.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Fabio Picasso."
