Ufologist Albert Rosales reported that he found on the paranormal.com website a page from March 2003 with a report saying that in a place not given, on Summer 1978, at night, a 13-year old person was laying in bed sick with the mumps when he looked across the room at a pair of large glass stained windows on the far wall, and noticed sitting on the window sill two little people.
They appeared to have been laughing at him, bending over with their hands on their knees, and pointing.
They were pale greenish yellow in color, they had very wide mouths and large almond shaped eyes, long limbs and narrow torsos. They were wearing clothes, but it appeared that the clothing would fade into the color of their skin. Their clothes were a darker greenish color. They had hats on their heads that came to a point, but these hats were kind of limp, not real firm. It appeared that their hats were indeed part of their heads. The person did not recall seeing any ears or eyebrows.
Everything about the creatures was subtle, with no real sharp defined edges or colors. They looked exactly the same.
The witness watched them for a long time then fell asleep.

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in a place not given, on Summer 1978, at night, the 13-year old witness was laying in bed sick with the mumps when he looked across the room at a pair of large glass stained windows on the far wall and noticed sitting on the window sill two little people.

Points to consider:
This is obviously an anonymous story posted on the web, a long time after the alleged event; which had been experienced by a child, no investigation is involved.
All the situation and all the description show on the one hand that this has nothing to do with UFOs or UFOs occupants, on the other hand, that it was certainly an hypnagogic hallucination, probably favored by a bad feverish sleep - the child was sick.
