52 On May 20, Black saw the familiar-looking saucer hovering about 200 feet above the creek next to the mine. After the object left, Black found several strange, five-inch footprints around the area. One month later, on June 20, Black approached the area when he saw what he thought was a small child with a bucket. Looking closer, he saw it was a small man wearing green pants, unusual shoes, a jacket, and a green cap. He was very pale and had black hair. Says Black, “He looked like someone who had never been out in the sun much.” Black watched as the man scooped up water with a strange cone- shaped bucket. The figure then heard Black approaching and ran back into the saucer, which promptly took off and disappeared. Black reported the event to the police. The story was leaked to the press and crowds of people showed up at the mine, hoping that the UFO would return again. Unfortunately, it never did, and the Brush Creek UFO landing remains a mystery. It seems clear, however, that the UFO was interested in the titanium mine.’ Some UFO cases impress investigators because they involve convinc- ing physical evidence. On the evening of September 10, 1954, factory- worker Marius Dewilde of France was about to make UFO history. He went outside to investigate why his dog was barking. To his surprise, he could see a large, strangely shaped object had landed on the railroad tracks behind his home. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching. He grabbed his flashlight and shined it toward the sound. To his shock, he saw “two creatures such as I had never seen be- fore.” The figures were each three feet tall, with large helmets and “one-piece outfits like the divers wear.” Realizing that the figures weren't human, Dewilde turned to chase them. At that point, a beam of light shot out of the object on the railroad and hit Dewilde. As he says, “I closed my eyes and tried to yell, but I couldn’t. It was just as if I had been paralyzed. I tried to move, but my legs wouldn’t obey me.” UFOS AND ALIENS THE QUAROUBLE, FRANCE UFO LANDING
