The main witness heard a strange thud coming from a tin grain bin behind his house. He grabbed a rifle and went out to investigate, but found nothing and returned.

Fifteen minutes later, the light of dusk-dawn came on again in a strange way, and he picked up his rifle again and continued his investigation. 

He found on the roof of the barn a very strange creature of gray color with a large head, huge eyes and hanging hands. The creature made a sudden movement, and the startled witness pointed the rifle at it. Then the creature suddenly disappeared from view.

The witness fired one shot into the darkness and ran back into the house. A later search found nothing.
