Location. Cvrljci, near Sibenik, Croatia

Date: December 12, 1997 Time: noon

On his farm on the outskirts north of the city of Sibenik an elderly pensioner and farmer named Janko Vrancic was herding his cattle when he saw a metallic object shaped like a household flatiron approach from the South-Southeast accompanied by a low hum and land quietly on a pasture nearby. Four humanoids described only as small and child-like in built and stature emerged from the object. Vrancic offered to share his lunch, which was figs and dried ham, but they declined, telling him they were not hungry. They had no problems in communicating as the occupants spoke a “broken” form of Croatian. After a brief visit that lasted from 3 to 4 minutes the humanoids boarded the craft, which again with a low hum, took off towards the North-Northwest and left. When asked if he was afraid Vrancic replied that he was not, stating that he had previously seen similar things on television. Vrancic is reported to be well-liked in his village and was described as an honest and down to earth man by his friends.
