A 24-year-old woman and her younger sister were washing next to their rural home when they saw a strange bulky figure, dark and motionless, on top of a nearby hill. It resembled an 8-foot (2.4 m) tall box with a round head at the top, and legs that seemed to thin towards the bottom. 

A strange sound, like several dogs barking into a microphone, seemed to come from the figure. 

Two witnesses got scared and locked themselves in their house. Then they heard a sound like someone dragging along the sandy path that surrounded the house. The sound seemed to stop at the edge of a nearby pine grove. 

The adult witness had a nervous breakdown. 

A small radioactive spot was found at the foot of the hill, and other traces of earth were also visible.
