I was 12 years old and was walking down the street of where i live. i noticed a figure running with the legs extremely wide and open. it was quite short, but did not have the resenblance of a child. it ran exteremely fast. it went by me too fast too makeanythng out of it. at first, i dint give it much thought. the next day, my sister and her boyfriend who was 22 at the time, said she saw an aircraft. me and my family questioned her and this is what she said: - it was like a ball of hot white fire. - it went up in the sky with a very load noise/roar. - it went up in the air and took off right away and left no string of light or debry behind it. it seemed to wake up the whole neighborhood and the next day some got together to go see if it landed nd left a cirle of ash somewhere in the near field. we found no trace of it being anywhere. we dont really know if it actually landed because there were no signs. there was another boy a little older than me that said he saw the strange man as well. i believe that he may have been connected to the paceship. after several discussions, we decided that the strange figure was running towards where the aircract took off.
