The old farmer's wife went to see if there were any strawberries in a familiar spot in the woods. 

As she approached it, she heard three faint sounds like gunshots, but ignored them. As she got closer to the spot, she noticed something blue in the woods. 

As she got closer, she saw what looked like a giant blue "umbrella" that rose and then fell about half a meter. She heard two sounds similar to a "sigh" as the "umbrella" descended about 20 cm above the ground. 

Under the blue surface of the object, there was some kind of ribbing, hence the image of the umbrella. To her surprise, she now saw that the man was standing hunched over, about a meter away from the blue object. He seemed to be picking something up and throwing it into his jar, which made a "clinking" sound every time he threw something inside. 

She assumed that the man was collecting pieces of ore, as there were many mines in the area. The man was wearing a dark green jumpsuit with what might have been a wide belt. Once he stood up and then bent down again. After watching the man for 5-15 minutes, she felt an obsessive desire to leave, so as not to interfere with the man's work. 

She went home (the men and the object were still there when she left) and on the way looked for cars in the woods, but did not see them. 

Returning home, the daughter-in-law noticed that something had happened to her, and after discussing this event, they decide to go to the place in two hours. When they came to the spot, a faint imprint was visible on the ground.

 Over the next few months, the elderly witness often felt the urge to visit the site and could see the ground vegetation wither and eventually turn almost black. 

The following spring, UFO researchers visited the site and found five black spots on the ground. As of 1996, the area on earth remained lifeless.

An old farmer’s wife went out to see if there were any strawberries at a familiar spot in the forest. Walking towards it she heard three faint shot-like noises, but ignored them. When she came closer to the spot she noticed something blue in the forest. When she came closer she saw something resembling a giant blue “umbrella”, which rose and then descended about half a meter. She heard two “sigh” like noises when the “umbrella” descended to some 20cm above the ground. Under the blue surface of the object some kind of ribbing could be seen, hence the image of an umbrella. To her astonishment she now saw that a man was standing stooped over about a meter from the blue object. He seemed to be picking something up and throwing it into his vessel, which made a “ping” like noise every time he threw something inside. She assumed the man was collecting pieces of ore, as there were many mines in the area. The man was clad in a dark green overall with possibly a broad belt. Once he stood up and then stooped back down again. After observing the man for some 5-15 minutes she felt a compulsive urge to leave, so that she would not disturb the man’s work. She went home, (the men and the object were still there when she left) and on her way looked around for any cars in the forest but did not see any. When she got home her daughter in law noticed that something had happened to her, and after they discussed the event they decide to go to the site two hours later. When they came to the spot a faint impression could be seen on the ground. During the next several months the elderly witness often felt a compulsion to visit the site and could see the ground vegetation withering away, turning almost black at the end. UFO investigators visited the site the following spring and found five black spots still visible on the ground. The area on the ground was still lifeless as of 1996.
