The 51-year-old witness was lying in bed in his sleep when he woke up, experiencing that funny feeling that someone was looking at him. The feeling was clear and real. He opened his eyes a little. 

On his bed, no more than two feet (0.6 m) away from him, sat a tiny man, perhaps about 10 inches tall. He quickly closed his eyes, thinking that this was some kind of hallucination caused by sleep. He felt curious, but mostly distrustful. 

He decided to open his eyes again to get a better look at him, but not too wide, he didn't want him to know that he was looking at him; he didn't want to scare him. He was worried that it might be afraid of him. 

He deliberately held his breath slowly and evenly, pretending to be asleep. This time he opened his eyes, a little wider, looked at them better, and then quickly closed his eyes again. 

The little man was still watching him intently, with an expression similar to a person watching an animal in a zoo. He was about 8 to 10 inches (20.32-2534 cm) tall; it wasn't easy to assess, since he was sitting. He sat with his legs crossed and looked directly at the witness. 

The witness was sure that he was hallucinating in his sleep, so he decided to open his eyes wide, and they disappeared. 

He stopped pretending to be asleep, he was not asleep and completely opened his eyes. To his amazement, he was still there. They looked at each other for a long time, maybe from 5 to 10 seconds. The little man had a very human appearance, except that his eyes were slightly large compared to the size of his head. He had thick brown hair that resembled a "bowl" hairstyle. He was wearing a dark brown jacket and dark green trousers. There was something somewhat archaic about the cut of the jacket. It had very large lapels and a double row of buttons. 

He couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. It was either a man with a slightly feminine facial structure, or a woman with a slightly masculine facial structure. 

He was worried that it would scare him, and he wanted it to know that he was a peaceful person, and did not mean that it would not cause harm. He wanted to try to engage him in conversation. His curiosity was irresistible. 

He opened his eyes for the fourth time, but he was no longer there. The witness did indeed search the room for several minutes. According to the witness, " my perception of the technological superiority of humanity was destroyed."

Summary: The 51-year old witness was lying in bed sleeping when he drifted into wakefulness, having that funny feeling that someone was staring at him. The feeling was distinct and real. He opened his eyes a crack. Sitting on his bed, not quite two feet away from him was a tiny person perhaps about 10 inches tall. He quickly shut his eyes, assuming this was some sort of sleep-induced hallucination. He felt curiosity but mostly disbelief. He decided to open his eyes again to get a better look at it, but not too wide, he didn’t want it to know that he was looking at it; he didn’t want to frighten it. He was concerned that it might be afraid of him. He purposely kept his breath slow and even, trying to feign sleep. He opened his eyes just a bit wider this time, got a better look at it, and then quickly shut his eyes again. The little person was still watching him intently, with an expression similar to someone observing an animal in a zoo. It was perhaps 8 to 10 inches tall; this was not easy to estimate as it was sitting. It was in a cross legged position looking directly at the witness. The witness was sure that he was sleep-hallucinating so he decided to pen his eyes wide, and it would be gone. He stopped feigning sleep, he was awake and he opened his eyes all the way. To his amazement it was still there. They looked at each other for a long moment, maybe 5 to 10 seconds. The little person had a very human look, except its eyes were slightly large in proportion to its head size. It had thick brown hair, in a sort of a “bowl” haircut style. It wore a dark brown jacket and dark green trousers. There was something a little bit archaic about the cut of the jacket. It had extra large lapels and a double row of buttons. He could not tell if it was male or female. It was either male with a slightly effeminate facial structure, or female with a slightly masculine facial structure. He was concerned that he would frighten it and wanted it to know that he was a peaceful person and meant it no harm. He wanted to try and engage it in conversation. His curiosity was overwhelming. He opened his eyes for a fourth time but it was gone. The witness actually searched the room for it, for several minutes. According to the witness, “My perception of the technological superiority of the human race was shattered”.
