Larissa Nikolayevna Smirnova a local resident became worried when her daughter, Yulia, a second-grade student returned home agitated and telling Larissa that she was not going outdoors anymore because she was afraid. When Larissa asked her daughter why she was afraid, Yulia answered that she had been frightened by “extraterrestrials” that had chased other students from the school, she also added that her brother Roma had been a witness to the events. Larissa asked her son and he confirmed the events. The next day Larissa decided to tell her friends and they later told local UFO investigators. According to Yulia when the physical training class at the sport’s ground had finished and the teacher had left, she and the other kids saw a humanoid figure on the roof of the school and a light blue sphere or globe hovering next to the humanoid. Screaming, several of the kids ran towards the ladders on the wall to climb up and get a closer look at the “extraterrestrial”. The girls climbed one ladder and the boys the other. Suddenly Yulia saw the humanoid now standing on the ground, not far from the kitchen garden and nearby, hovered the blue sphere. The humanoid was very tall with a round head a broad mouth and one eye which emitted a blue flashing light. The alien’s head then rotated almost 360 degrees around its axis (like a robot). The alien’s arms were very long and almost touched the ground, it was dressed in a light shiny overall, and on the legs, it had some metallic “plates” which partially covered them.

The girls didn’t see the alien’s nose but claimed that its ears were large and “webbed”. The creature then began to approach the children, which caused the frightened children to run in all directions. As they ran away some of them turned around and noticed that the alien had already vanished. Later UFO investigators gathered many of the young witnesses and separating them asked them to draw a picture of the alien. The children did this quickly and without hesitation, the depiction of the alien all very similar. Other children had reported seeing several pink and blue spheres flying over the hamlet. Others saw a large sphere land near the local dance hall and a tall humanoid entity emerged from it, the witnesses at the dance hall became panic stricken, some of them fled on foot leaving their mopeds behind.
