Stillwater, Nevada, USA, 1994

Location: Stillwater, Nevada - June 1994 - evening

The witness and his wife were driving under a slight rain in an isolated area when they saw what appeared to be an accident off to the side of the road. It looked like an accident because there were lots of flashing lights around the site. Curious the witness slowed down to see if he could help and as they came closer they saw what they thought was an ambulance but it turned up to be an object resembling a large soda can lying on its side and resting on three "legs." It was a weird, sort of creamy color, but with a bright red halo around it. Flashing lights could be seen around the object.

As they watched fascinated, his wife suddenly let out a blood-curling scream the witness turned around and saw two "aliens" coming towards the car. These were described as bug-like, with their heads looking like preying mantises. They had humanoid-looking bodies, however, and wore bluish gray jumpsuits. The terrified witness, who was armed with a gun, pulled it out and fired two shots towards the road in front of the figures. This must have startled the humanoids, which suddenly ran back to their landed cylinder shaped object. At this point the witness began speeding away from the area, looking back he saw additional similar appearing humanoids standing around the craft, about 9 or 10 of them. They did not see the object depart.
