[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Rauma, Finland, on June 19, 1979, at 12:30, two witnesses that lived in a rural area were sitting in their living room with the window opened when one of them caught sight of a silvery gray metallic cupola shaped object resting on the ground not too far away.

The bottom of the object was blue black in color and it was emitting a blue-black beam of light from its middle section. The beam briefly swept the nearby woods then switched off.

Both witnesses had now seen the object and one of them decided to have a closer look. This witness walked very close to the object and was able to see that it rested on small metallic legs.

The upper part of the object was transparent and inside two small humanoids could be seen. These were described a very "ugly" with crooked beak like noses and covered with green brown spots, they had large bulging eyes, pointed chins, large mouths and pointed ears.

Both wore shiny gray helmets with antennae with a yellow line on the middle. They also wore black gloves and clothing.

The witness was also able to see numerous gauges and levers inside the object.

The being nearest to the witness made a sudden move and the witness was suddenly blinded and fell back. The craft then took off emitting a whistling sound.

The witness eyes were irritated for the next several hours and he was briefly in a state of shock.

Rosales indicates that the source is Juhani Kyrolainen and Pekka Teerikorpi in FSR Vol. 27 #3.

Points to consider:

The main issue with the story is that there seems to be no indication about any investigation to check for the veracity of the story. Was it ever investigated? When, by whom, and where is the investigation report if any, and what does it conclude?
