UFO phenomenon the investigators

63
00:03:12,410 --> 00:03:10,200
described the witness as being reluctant

64
00:03:14,690 --> 00:03:12,420
to speak with them to the point of

65
00:03:16,670 --> 00:03:14,700
actually fleeing from them according to

and nose to nose with two cosmonauts

78
00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:49,200
which is how he referred to them the

79
00:03:54,050 --> 00:03:51,360
witness was confused because he didn't

80
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:54,060
remember slowing down or breaking he put

81
00:03:58,490 --> 00:03:56,400
a foot down on the ground to stay

82
00:04:01,250 --> 00:03:58,500
upright and the creatures were on both

83
00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:01,260

with square helmets that had openings

88
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:14,340
for their faces he said he couldn't see

89
00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:16,500
their features because the inside of the

90
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,479
helmets were dark and it seemed like

91
00:04:22,550 --> 00:04:20,639
their faces were covered he said they

92
00:04:24,909 --> 00:04:22,560
were five-fingered gloves which ended up

93
00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:24,919
at their shoulders like those worn by

two cars in the grass below the level of

97
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:35,759

98
00:04:40,129 --> 00:04:38,160
creature ship the creatures started

99
00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:40,139
gesticulating and he thought they might

100
00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:42,120
have been trying to tell him they needed

101
00:04:46,010 --> 00:04:44,280
food the witness is described as

102
00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:46,020

106
00:04:55,850 --> 00:04:53,639
the right started searching for

107
00:04:57,890 --> 00:04:55,860
something with its hand behind its back

108
00:04:59,810 --> 00:04:57,900
it then showed the witness something

109
00:05:01,790 --> 00:04:59,820
that was the size and color of the

110
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:01,800
chocolate the witness is said to have

111
00:05:06,770 --> 00:05:03,960
called it a chocolate in its right hand

112
00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:06,780
and indicated with its left hand that

the creatures watched the witness as he

120
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:25,560
ate waited for him to finish and then

121
00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:28,020
let go of the motorcycle he took the

122
00:05:32,330 --> 00:05:30,360

00:05:34,490 --> 00:05:32,340
without looking back he couldn't

124
00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:34,500
remember whether his engine had been

125
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,900
