In July and August, this very small village already had several similar UFO sightings (glowing objects at night), the most notable of which was on August 10, when 7 or 8 witnesses observed a large vertical yellow-glowing rectangle in the air, apparently a few hundred yards away.

In its lower part, about 4 more glowing squares appeared, similar to the lighted Windows in the building. Then, turning orange and then red, it gradually disappeared, culminating in a very powerful flash of light.

The next day, a footprint (a 10-foot (3 m) square of crushed stubble with footprints in the ground at the corners) was found in a field over which this footprint could be seen. Those who came too close to this trail soon experienced the painful sensation of "heavy feet".

After that, moving red glowing balls were repeatedly observed at night, and at night noises were heard and even (in the neighboring forest) "howling"and loud metallic sounds during the day.

A woman who saw both the glowing rectangle and the red spheres several times borrowed a camera to photograph them.

At about 00: 30, a woman and two other witnesses who were outside at the time saw a red balloon approaching. When he got “quite close", the witness took two pictures within a few seconds, and the witnesses could see several silhouettes of figures running or walking very fast and carrying powerful torchlike lights in their hands. They seemed to be of normal height. Then it was dark again.

In the following weeks, almost all the UFO witnesses in this place fell ill (from various ailments) and one died.

In July and August, there had been a number of previous UFO-like sightings (luminous objects at night) in this very small hamlet, the most notable being on August 10, when 7 or 8 witnesses observed a large vertical yellow-luminous rectangle in the air, apparently a few hundred yards away. About 4 more luminous squares appeared in its lower part, like lighted windows in a building; then, turning orange then red, it gradually faded away, terminating in a very powerful flash of light. The next day a ground trace (a 10 ft square of crushed stubble, with imprints in the earth at its corners) was found on a field over which the appearance might have been; those who approached this marking too closely soon suffered a painful sensation of “heavy legs.” Thereafter, moving red luminous balls were repeatedly seen by night, and noises were heard at night and even (in the adjacent wood) “howling” and loud metallic noises by day. A woman, who had seen both the luminous rectangle and, on several occasions the red spheres, had borrowed a camera to photograph them. About 0030A, a red sphere was seen approaching by the woman and two other witnesses who were outside at the time. When it had got “fairly close,” the witness took two exposures form some seconds, and the witnesses could see there several silhouetted figures running, or walking very fast, and carrying in their hands powerful lights, like torches. They seemed to be of normal stature. Then darkness returned. In the weeks that followed, nearly all the witnesses of UFOs at this place fell ill (of various ailments) and one died.
