JANUARY 2 1978, GOMEZ PALACIO, DURANGO, MEXICO, A MAN:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Scientist and ufologist Paul R. Hill reportedly indicated in the September 1978 APRO bulletin that in Gomez Palacio, Mexico, on January 2, 1978, a man was sitting in his front room, reading late in the night, and when he looked up he saw a tall blonde man with the blue eyes in the room, whose body was surrounded by a strange gleam.

The witness asked "who are you?" and received no answer, then asked "what are you doing here?"

At this time the tall blonde man turned without touching the floor and floated through the doors of two other rooms and into a patio at the back of the house, followed by the witness. The gleam around the body of the man increased and he flew upwards in the air and out of sight.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Gomez Palacio, Mexico, on January 2, 1978, late at night, a man was sitting in his front room reading late at night when he suddenly looked up to see a tall blond, blue-eyed man in the room. The witness asked, "Who are you?" On receiving no reply he asked, "What are you doing here?" At this point the stranger, whose body was surrounded by a strange glow, turned around without touching the floor. The stranger floated through the doors of two other rooms and into a patio at the rear of the house, followed by the witness. The glow around the man's body increased and he flew up into the air and out of sight.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Paul R Hill, Apro Bulletin, September 1978."

[Ref. dj1:] DONALD JOHNSON:

Donald Johnson indicates that on January 2, 1978, a man was sitting in his front room in Gomez Palacio, Mexico, reading late at night when he suddenly looked up to see a tall blond, blue-eyed man in his room. The witness asked, "Who are you?" When he received no reply he asked, "What are you doing here?" At this point the stranger, whose body was surrounded by a strange glow, turned around without touching the floor. The visitor floated through the doorways of two other rooms and onto the patio at the rear of the house, followed by the witness. The glow around the man's body increased and he flew up into the air and out of sight.

The sources are indicated as Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1978, citing Paul R. Hill, APRO Bulletin, September 1978.

Points to consider:

A man in a room in a glow who flies away in the sky is quite extraordinary; unfortunately, there seems to be no checking or investigation in the matter and the origin of the story is not known.
