Case description

Teacher Miguel Timermans Ceballos recalled an encounter while motorcycling from Prado del Rey toward Jerez in May 1960. He could not remember the day. Investigator Miguel Peyro Garcia's report, published in Stendek 40 in 1980 and translated for APRO, places it near the Arcos–El Bosque road and the Bornos reservoir, around 13:00. The investigation therefore concerned a recollection approximately twenty years old, not a contemporary field inquiry. About 150 metres ahead on a pale earth road, Timermans reportedly saw a red figure estimated at two metres or more crossing diagonally with stiff, mechanical movements. A second, much smaller figure, about 1.2 metres tall, followed within several steps. Both had ringed outlines compared to the Michelin advertising figure. The smaller one wore a single black boot; the witness no longer remembered which foot. He stopped his motorcycle, watched the crossing and approached the bend, but the figures had disappeared. Alone, he chose not to search farther. The encounter reportedly lasted around half a minute. The report surfaced after a UFO lecture and passed through investigators before Peyro Garcia's interview. His favourable impression of the witness is an investigator's assessment, not independent confirmation of the beings. No craft, facial anatomy or communication was described. The plate preserves the unequal heights, ringed red forms and one black boot while identifying the reporting delay.
