Case description

The imported Yerevan entry places a spherical object and a robot-like visitor among five children in April 1990. A translated account attributed to investigator Stanislav Ermakov gives a more elaborate sequence: three fourth-graders at school number 111 saw a glowing sphere land on rocky ground behind their school, opening into two parts. Two classmates joined them as a figure approached the fenced yard. That version describes a metallic-grey robot over two metres tall, with a chest screen, a watch-like device below it, a grille over its mouth and a light or third-eye feature on its forehead. The screen allegedly displayed the boys’ names in Armenian. Further claims include transformation into a ball to cross a fence, a light striking one boy’s arm and an enduring skin mark. These are reported details, without independently established transformation or injury causation. The same retrospective discusses local television coverage in September and an October investigation involving interpreters, alleged footprints and dowsing. Dowsing responses are not instrument confirmation of a landed craft. The compact catalogue describes two small humanoids and a robot, while Ermakov’s account describes three tall figures; their proportions should not be silently reconciled. The plate follows the detailed robot version, shows all five children safe in everyday clothes and leaves purported names unreadable because their identities were not supplied in the reviewed text.
