Two men were walking away from a beach cafe when they saw a bright blue light flying low over the ocean at a high speed at a downward angle. Then the light stopped and slowly descended into the wooded area next to the campsite. 

Both men ran into the forest area, which was now completely illuminated by the bluish light. 

When they came out into the clearing, they saw a huge human figure in a loose silver suit 8 meters away, shining in appearance. He also wore a large white helmet with a narrow black visor at eye level. The figure stood in front of the witnesses, then turned and walked slowly toward a floating metal ship in the shape of a bluish saucer with a dome at the top, which hovered very close to the ground. 

Both men got scared and ran away from the place. During the meeting, one of the witnesses felt a strange buzzing in his head and subsequently suffered from lack of sleep. 

The next day, traces of soil were found in the clearing.

Two men walking away from a beachfront café saw a bright bluish light flying low above the ocean at high speed in a descending angle. The light then stopped and descended slowly into a wooded area, next to some nearby camping grounds. Both men ran into the wooded area, which was now completely lighted by a bluish light. Upon entering a clearing they saw 8 meters away a huge human like figure, wearing a loose fitting silvery outfit, shiny in appearance. He also wore a large white helmet with a narrow black visor at eye level. The figure stood across from the witnesses and then it turned around and slowly walked towards a hovering metallic bluish saucer shaped craft with a dome on top, that was hovering very close to the ground. Both men became frightened and ran away from the area. During the encounter one of the witnesses felt a peculiar buzzing sound inside his head and suffered from lack of sleep afterwards. The next day ground traces were found at the clearing.
