UFOs & Little Green Men
The following article was published in the Toppenish Review (Toppenish, WA) on Jan. 26, 1977. For the time, the amount of UFO / extraterrestrial information reported in this piece was somewhat remarkable for print or on-air media. Please note that In Search of... was a television series that had started broadcasting April 1977...considered by many to be the pioneer of mysterious phenomena television:
Martha Cantu of Harrah said if her son ever tells her again to "come and look," she'll be sure to do it.
Last Wednesday when her agitated nine-year-old son Jose woke his mother up at about 6:30 a.m. asking her to explain the little "man" he saw outside. She discounted his story and settled down to catch up on the sleep she'd lost the night before with a fussy baby.
Jose, who had been in the middle of preparing his breakfast, wasn't put off so easily.
He went outside to check for himself — and came back with an amazing story.
He told his mother he had seen two greenish creatures about three feet tall, who rotated on a base instead of having feet, and two "steely" crafts in which 2 other creatures were sitting. (Jose later produced a drawing)
He claimed that one craft rested in the back yard and the other on a flat section of the roof of the house. He told her he had hidden behind a washing machine stored outside next to a shed.
From that vantage point, he said he saw the two creatures join the other two in the crafts. He added that the crafts were brilliantly lighted inside, had "straight stairs" (much like a ramp) and a door that opened in "two parts, like a cross" to reveal the interior which contained two chairs with very tail bases. Jose said the craft in the yard rose from the ground and disappeared into something that resembled a cloud, steam or smoke.
When she heard the story, Jose's mother did what any mother might do in the same circumstances. She sent him to school.
At the Harrah Grade School, Jose repeated the story to Diane Gomez, an aide. "Jose is a serious boy. He's not one that tells stories or lies. What he told me, I took very seriously," Gomez said.
At 10:10, recess time, Gomez and another aide accompanied Jose to his home. There he showed them the places where he said the two creatures had been standing. In one location, where Jose said one creature had rotated on his base, Gomez said she saw two round marks in the gravel. At another place, where the creatures allegedly stood, there were two sets of three indentations.
After Mrs. Cantu spoke to the teacher's aides and they had returned to school with Jose, she called her neighbor, Irene Sanchez, to come to her home. Sanchez said they examined the back yard and found in the long grass a circular impression about 10 feet in diameter in which the grass in the middle was whirled up, and also observed the marks the aides had seen. The circle was easily visible from the window of the house next door, Gomez said, and added that her brother, who lives there, had seen it from that distance. The circle was still clearly visible when Mr. Cantu arrived home that evening from work, he said.
