LISBON, September 27. -- Visitors from another world landed on September 24 at 10 a.m. in a spot located in the Gardunha mountains, on the Spanish-Portuguese border: so reported a Portuguese peasant to the newspaper "Diario de Lisboa". He was working in the area with three of his companions.
"A sphere appeared in the sky to the east," the witness said. "It flew at a dizzying speed and emitted multicolored flashes. It landed silently 200 meters from us, and two figures, about 2.5 meters tall, emerged. They looked like men made of aluminum. These visitors first picked some herbs and collected stones, which they placed in a blindingly bright box. Then, noticing us, they approached and made a few sounds."
"When we didn't understand them, they gestured for us to enter their craft. When we refused, they reentered the machine, which took off vertically and disappeared southward as quickly as it had come."
The witness added that only the "poles" of the sphere rotated, and that the equatorial section was transparent, revealing moving shadows inside.
