Summary/Description:  Harold Carpenter, an employee at a local state, over a period of several weeks had kept hearing a very loud, deep humming noise, which lasted for about two or three minutes. The noise always seemed to occur between four and five o’clock in the morning. One morning, very curious, Carpenter rose from his bed, quickly got dressed and quietly stepped outdoors. With the humming noise still audible, and seeming to emanate from the southwest, Harold set off to walk to a wooded area known locally as Sunny Calvert.

Determined to track down the source of the humming noise, and having come this far Harold clambered down a deep slope to where the sound seemed to be coming from. Harold peered down and was shocked to see a strange looking device. It resembled a mushroom without a stem. The object was gray in color and seemed to be hovering about eight to ten feet above the ground. Harold came to a vantage point amongst the trees where he could actually see the underside of the craft. It was definitely hovering above the ground. It was about 15 to 20 ft in diameter across the base, which housed what looked like a lip on the inside bottom. Even more startling was the sight of up to five “peculiar looking beings” gathered underneath the craft on the surface below.

The beings were about four to five feet tall, and carrying what looked like “pound jam jars” with a handle in one hand and an implement resembling a pair of tweezers in the other. The beings used these to pick up bits of twigs and leaves before placing them in the clear glass looking jars. As the beings wandered around picking up various samples, all kept very close to the craft, which hovered silently above. The humming sound had now stopped. All wore the same one-piece gray; flexible looking suits that stretched over their feet. It also covered their heads much like a Balaclava. Their faces were exposed and Harold could see that these were human like but totally expressionless, with normal human like eyes. If they had any ears, the one-piece suit hid them from view. They had a snout-like nose, resembling that of a “pig.” Their mouths were similar to humans, and so were their hands, until Harold noticed they didn’t appear to have thumbs.

While observing in fascination, Harold had inch closer and closer, until he suddenly realized that he was only to within 10 ft of the craft. At this moment one of the beings suddenly looked up and with the same expressionless face, stared directly at him. Without so much as a sound or movement, it somehow alerted the others to Harold’s presence, for the rest suddenly stopped what they were doing and slowly began to retreat to the craft, which had descended to hover barely two feet of the ground. One by one the beings disappeared underneath the craft by means of its lip.

The craft then began to rise, at which point Harold saw one of the beings climb through a type of “gate” housed on the inside of the lip which then closed. The craft slowly continued to climb, moving slightly to one side towards a clearing among the trees. It gradually gained altitude and speed. It suddenly emitted a flash of light and departed at incredible speed.
