A farmer named Mateu, walking to the light, found a very glowing hemispheric object hovering at an altitude of 3 feet (0.9 m) above the ground.

On the far side he saw about 100 yards (90 m) away from him and two octopus-like creatures rushing towards him, about 3 feet (0.9 m) tall, with "4 or 5 feet," very light and "absolutely disgusting."

The UFO left a large area of burnt grass, and "the clock stopped at this place 3 times".
