Summary: A Mr. Stocker, wireless operator for the Territorial Army and a driver were traveling through open moorland in a Land Rover on a single-track road. As they crossed a bridge and ascended a slight hill, Stocker saw what looked like an elderly woman dressed in a long, gray coat and a shawl. She was standing on a sandy area on the left hand side of the road beneath a hawthorn tree. After they passed her, Stocker glanced in one of the vehicle’s rearview mirror, but now could see no one beneath the thorn tree. The drive too had seen the figure. They went back but there was nobody visible anywhere on the open moor around and there were no footprints in the sandy ground at the spot.

The tracks just began and as abruptly ended with no indication of front whence they came. Sterling theorizes they must Iravt’ ltcclt rnlrdt’ by sol)l(‘ lr-l)(‘ ol airborne vehicle:.’ Thc saud was not dtstrtt’bctl rn that’ctr cxcept where the intermediate tracks were laid down’ Ail evidences of the tracks point to a strange vehicle landing on Sterling’s property, travelling on thc ground and then taking off again. The hugc marks in the sand give the apPearance of being rnade by some huge caterpillar tractor but thcre is not a tractor made with the wide tread needed to leave the gigantic marks ;there were more than 20 of these gigantic marks surrounding the house. each of these left a depression about three inches deep in the sand edge cutting sharply and the trailing edge leaving a small mound of sand behind it which would apparently indicate the trace were actually in motion and propelling something over the desert

The craft was about 150 meters from his location and was round and silvery in color, about 1.50m in altitude and 50m in diameter. It was emitting green flashes of light and had landed on 3 leg-like protrusions. On top it had a cabin-like structure with portholes and a ladder leading into it. From the desert brush 5 humanoid figures appear and quickly climbed up the ladder and into the cabin. The witness described the humanoids as man-like, about 1.80m in height, athletic in built, and wearing shirts, shorts and “military caps”, the color of their skin was rosy-white. As the humanoids disappeared inside the cabin, this one was immediately covered by a metallic disc-like lid, concealing it completely. Immediately after that the craft took off emitting bright flashes of multicolored light. It quickly disappeared into the distance.
