Near Stratford-on-Avon, England: Fiery round object lands, three figures emerge
In January 1959 Leonard Hewins saw a fiery, round object land 300 feet away near Stratford-on-Avon, England; three figures emerged.
Background
Leonard Hewins saw a fiery, round object come down from the east near Stratford-on-Avon, England, and land 300 feet away. A blue haze formed, and three figures emerged and sat down with clumsy movements. Hewins was unable to move until the UFO took off. The case was reported by John D. Llewellyn in Flying Saucer Review in 1967 and is listed in Patrick Gross's URECAT catalogue. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
