Four days after the UFO encounter, William Shearer came home from work and tried to get some sleep, his wife and daughter went out. He went downstairs to get a drink, and he thought he heard a faint knock on the door. As he reached the door, Shearer saw the outline of a tall man through the glass. Shearer opened the door and saw a strange sight. 

The man was about 6 feet 4 inches (194 cm) tall, wearing a dark gray suit and a long coat. He was wearing a shiny white shirt, a red tie, and a brimmed hat. Another similarly dressed man was standing behind Shearer's wife's car and seemed to be scanning the road as if to see if anyone was approaching. The tall man said:

"Can I talk to you, please?»

 His voice was very low and seemed to come from his chest, not from his mouth. At this stage, the man's gaze was lowered to the floor so that Shearer could not see his face. Thinking they were Jehovah's Witnesses, Shearer replied:

"No, I'm not dressed."

The man insisted and again asked to speak to Shearer, who again refused and asked him to come back later. When the man raised his head and looked directly at Shearer, his first impression was that the man was very ill, as he looked deathly pale. On the contrary, his lips appeared red, as if he was wearing lipstick. 

The stranger insisted on entering, but Shearer insisted. The two strangers continued to stare at each other, either nodding or gesturing. The men then walked over to their car, which was black and, according to Shearer, looked like something straight out of a gangster movie, but looked brand new. 

Shearer noticed that the men walked clumsily and had no facial hair. He also received a later visit.

Four days after encountering a UFO William Shearer had come home from work, and was trying to get some sleep, his wife and daughter had stepped out. He came downstairs for a drink, and thought he heard a faint knock on the door. As Shearer approached the door he could see the outline of a tall man through the glass. Shearer opened the door and was faced with a strange sight. The man was around 6’4″, and dressed in a dark gray suit and full-length coat. He wore a brilliant white shirt and a red tie, and was holding a brimmed hat. Another similarly dressed man was standing behind Shearer’s wife car, and appeared to be looking up and down the road, as if to see if anyone was coming. The tall man said, “Can I speak to you please?” His voice was very deep, and seemed to be coming from his chest rather than his mouth. At this stage the man’s gaze was lowered to the floor so Shearer could not see his face. Thinking they were Jehovah’s Witnesses, Shearer replied, “No, I am not dressed”. The man persisted, and asked again to speak to Shearer who again declined and asked him to come back later. When the man lifted his head and looked straight at Shearer his first impression was that the man was very ill, as he looked deathly pale. In contrast his lips seemed to tinged red, as if he were wearing lipstick. The stranger insisted in coming in, but Shearer held his ground. The two strangers kept looking at each other, either nodding or gesturing in some way. The men then walked towards their car, which was black and according to Shearer it looked like something straight out of a gangster movie, yet it looked brand new. Shearer noticed that the men walked awkwardly and appeared to have no facial hair. He also received a later visit.
