Possible Crashed UFO In Oregon's Maury Mountains In The Summer Of 1967.

During the Summer of 1967 my parents and myself went on a camping trip in the Maury Mountains of Central Oregon. The campsite was around 30-35 miles east of Prineville, Oregon past a small village called Post.

One night during the trip I was awakened by a streaking lime green fireball moving very quickly across the sky. It was emitting sparks (also lime green in color) and I could hear a crackling sound from above. This whole memory is only remembered in a dream-like state.

In the brush across from the campsite about 30 yards away I saw a creature in a spacesuit-like outfit. It was short and rotund, like the Michelin Tire Man. It was in a form-fitting light brown color jumpsuit/spacesuit outfit. It also wore a dark brown space-helmet with some sort of night vision/binocular type device in front of where it's eyes would be. It stood about 4' tall. It was just observing our observations of the fireball streak.

However the next morning a group of military personnel in a jeep and two US Army trucks questioned my parents about the event. I think they were working on the idea that this was a crashed UFO!

I remember the creature probing my emotional state at the time. Were we being tested in some way? My parents are no longer around, I'm 47 years old now, and I was 9 years old at the time.
