Case description
This is a catalogue variant of the November 20, 1968 Hanbury encounter involving Milin and Doris Milakovic and their eleven-year-old son Slavic, rather than an additional independent landing. Returning from house hunting toward Hednesford at about 5:30–5:45 p.m., the family noticed rabbits crossing the road and a brilliant object in a field to their left. They stopped their car. Doris described a sensation of warmth as the object rose and passed over them, followed by cooler air after it had moved away.
The object then appeared above a house roughly a hundred yards to the right. Its width was compared with that of the house. The lower section was dark and bowl-shaped; above it was a clear dome divided into vertical white, amber and green sections. Several figures reportedly moved inside, sometimes bending below the rim. The fuller account does not establish the ledger's precise count of three or supply detailed alien anatomy.
After about five minutes, the object ascended in a jerky fashion and became brighter. Milin reported discomfort or burning in his eyes, and the frightened family drove away. They described no sound and no vehicle interference. Turner and Daniels published the investigation in Flying Saucer Review in 1969. Later catalogue copies preserve the same family, sequence and distinctive coloured dome, so they should not be counted as separate corroborating events.
