Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that near Provo, Utah, in 1965, at night, a 19-year old semiliterate shipping clerk reported being taken from his house in a glassy sphere into a large black object where he met a 6-foot 7-inch tall man, apparently the leader and a beautiful copper skinned girl with blond hair and blue eyes, who wore black uniforms with disc-shaped shoulder epaulets and serpents motifs on the pockets. No other information.

Albert Rosales indicates as source Dr. Frank Salisbury.

Points to consider:

Dr. Frank B. Salisbury was a specialist in the plants physiology, from Provo, Utah, very interested in the conditions for life on Mars, and who became a correspondent of APRO, Jim and Coral Lorenzen's large ufology group. He was a cautious man who never regarded all the reports as necessarily true. He had foreworded book "Flying Saucer Occupants" of the Lorenzens.

There are no elements of credibility given for this story.
