His name is Marius Dewilde and he lives in Quarouble in the Nord, where he works as a metallurgist. He stated that he saw an oblong-shaped craft, 3 meters high and 6 meters long, land on the railway track a few meters from his house. Two beings of human appearance, very small in size and wearing diving-suit-like outfits, were nearby. Mr. Dewilde walked toward them, but at that moment the craft directed at him a luminous beam with a green reflection, which had the effect of paralyzing him. When he regained the use of his limbs, the craft was beginning to rise into the sky and the two beings had disappeared.
Since then, the police have been investigating and the inhabitants of Quarouble no longer know what to think, because Mr. Dewilde had not - until now - been considered a joker.
