Points to consider:
Human stereoscopic vision, allowing to estimate distances or sizes of known objects, does not exceed about 50 meters. The alleged entities were said to be at about 100 meters. Maybe they were a bit further away and their height was then taller than 1.20 meters. They are said to have been human looking. The witness apparently did not care to check who they were. There was no UFO, no particular strangeness with the alleged entities. So it was possibly a confusion, in which for some reason, two people appeared weird to a distant witness.
