In a further effort to establish contact with the aliens, a teacher named Ananias waved both his arms above his head and was delighted to see two figures return his greeting in the identical manner. Father Gill joined the teacher in the two-armed wave, and all four figures aboard the UFO responded in a like fashion. "There was no doubt that movement made by arms was answered by the figures," Father Gill told the Sun-Herald and emphasized in his personal report. The natives at the mission were thrilled with the prospect of receiving such unusual guests, and they began beckoning and calling to the figures on the spacecraft to join them on the ground. The aliens made no audible response to the cheers and shouts of the mission natives, and Father Gill said that he could perceive no expressions on the faces of the men. "They were," he stated, "rather like players ona football field at night." In a determined attempt to persuade them to land, one of the mission's teachers began to flash and wave a torchlight at the UFO crew. "It swung like a pendulum," Father Gill said, "presumably in recognition ... it hovered, came quite close towards the ground ... and we actually thought it was going to land, but it did not We were very disappointed about that." Although professing that he was "a poor mathematician," the Anglican priest estimated that the size of the craft was about 35 feet in diameter across the bottom deck and 20 feet across the upper deck. The color of the saucer was yellowish when stationary, but changed to a blue-green when in motion. The calm and systematic Father Gill had all witnesses sign his report as testimony to the veracity of the account. The inhabitants of the Anglican mission agree strongly with Father Gill that "there is no doubt whatever that they (the UFO's) are handled by beings of some kind." 10. Outer Space Tourists Are Messy, Too Is there a connection between the strange droppings of wispy angel's hair-like substances and UFO's? Many observers seem to think so.
