The young witness, 7-year old Gilles L. was having lunch with his family when suddenly he heard a sort of call or ‘command’ in his head prompting him to go to the barn. For some reason Gilles could not refuse the telepathic call excused himself and got up and walked outside. He walked towards the shed and at about 20 feet ahead of him he sees a red sphere hovering about 3 feet off the ground. He is paralyzed with fear and feels that the sphere is ‘alive’ since it seems to look at him. He then covers his face with his arm, but this is a feeble gesture as he sees the sphere appears to be endowed with intelligence and seems to be able to read his thoughts.

Unable to withstand the probing he falls down against the wall of the shed, apparently, he blacks out and when he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in an unfamiliar place. He looks around and sees a strange prism-like wall with strange symbols imprinted on it resembling strange letters. He is barely able to move and is lying on something hard and white. He then heard spoken words in an unknown language. He feels something getting closer to him and then sees a strange 5-foot-tall creature standing by him. The head of the creature resembles a ‘bird’ with two large yellow eyes and no hair. What is supposed to be the nose is curved like that of an eagle, and the body seems to be made out of red leather. The arms on the creature are long and end in what appeared to be 3-digit chicken claws or knuckles. Soon a second being appears and he could still hear the strange murmuring in the unknown language. The being shoes the witness a sort of plaque of tablet with what appeared to be an unknown language inscribed on it, they seemed to want the witness to remember it, but the young witness is too terrified and cannot concentrate. Suddenly he feels severe pain on the right side of his head and blacks out. Later he wakes up on the field lying on the grass. He looks at the sun and believes is about 15:00 hours. He then goes home.
