Pasadena, California: Woman sees gray entity at bedside, round dead patch in lawn
In January 1988 a woman near Pasadena, California, awoke to see a small gray-skinned entity probing her torso with medical instruments; the next morning the family apparently found a perfectly circular brown spot, 13 feet across, in their lawn.
Background
A family in the vicinity of Pasadena, California, noticed a large, perfectly circular brown spot, 13 feet in diameter, in the midst of their lush, well-kept St. Augustine grass. It seemed to have appeared the morning after the wife awoke to see a small, gray-skinned entity standing beside her and probing her torso with medical instruments; she had seen a strange light beam one month earlier. The brown area slowly filled in with Bermuda grass over 6 months. The Los Angeles County agricultural pathologist who examined a soil sample found four southern chinch bugs, which he said can cause similar damage, although the progression is much slower and requires many more than four insects.
