Chiang Rai--Residents of Huay Nam Rak Village were still certain
that the entity they witnessed was an extra-terrestrial being.
They claimed that features of Tongmuan’s rubber doll did not
match the alien being seen. The villagers stated further that
they saw the alien nodding, and the way it floated was different
from a balloon floating. The member of Pasak Subdistrict
Administrative Organization who showed the drawing of his
inflated rubber doll claimed that initially he had been afraid
that the villagers would have accused him of making up the
story, so he had decided not to comment on the incident. The
mayor requested that the village chief set up a camera, hoping
to obtain some proof.

Regarding the news on the residents of Mae Jan District, Chiang
Rai Province, witnessing an unidentified entity believed to be
an extra-terrestrial being, a member of Pasak Subdistrict
Administrative Organization argued that the villages might have
been seeing his lost inflated rubber doll that floated away from
the front of his house.

Our reporter met with Tongmuan Pochailoet, a member of Pasak
Subdistrict Administrative Organization at Doi Kam Village,
Pasak Subdistrict, Chiang San District, Chiang Rai Province,
about 6 kilometers to the east of Huay Nam Rak Village, Moo 5,
Jan Jawa Subdistrict, Mae Jan District, Chiang Rai Province,
where the alien being was witnessed.

Tongmuan said that on August 20, 2005 he made a journey to
congratulate his relative at the graduation ceremony at Chiang
Mai University Conference Center. Then he visited the Ancient
Village Museum nearby. On the way, he found an inflated greenish
orange rubber doll being about 1 meter tall in a roadside tree.
He believed someone had lost the doll, so he decided to take it
home. He described that the doll was 1 meter in height, and
floated like a balloon. It had large head, large eyes, a nose,
and a mouth. It did not have ears. Its arms and legs were small.
A string was attached through the doll’s lower part. There were
a lot of people who had not seen such doll. As the string was
not obvious, some children even got very scared seeing the head
moved by the wind.

He tied the doll up at the front of his house, using it as a
scarecrow, hoping its strange look could scare away ducks and
chicken sneakily ate his rice and nuts. He noticed that at night
the doll did not float. However, during the day when it was hot,
the doll would float. He, then, had to tie it up.

On August 29, 2005, at about 6:00 pm, the storm carried away the
doll to the north. He could not follow it, and believed that he
lost it. Later, he found out from the media that the residents
of Huay Nam Rak Village, Moo 5, Jan Jawa Subdistrict which was 6
kilometers away to the west, reported their sighting of a
yellowish orange entity that seemed similar to the particular
doll with a large head and eyes. He thought the unidentified
entity could be his missing doll.

He had not spoken his opinion, fearing that the villagers who
believed that they had witnessed an alien might have thought he
had made up the story. However, as the news was widely spread,
he decided to inform the media, and sketched his lost doll to
compare to the alien sighted by the villagers. His drawing could
be used as a way to find the doll to be used as proof.

The reporter photographed the sketch, and took the photo to the
Huay Nam Rak villagers who claimed the alien sighting. The
witnesses insisted that the doll did not look like the alien
they had seen, as the entity they saw had large head and eyes.
It had ears, but no mouth. It did not have arms, but had small
legs. However, Tongmuan’s missing doll had a mouth, a nose, and
arms.

Sawaeng Bunratchasak, 51, resident of Huay Nam Rak Village, Jan
Jawa Subdistrict, Mae Jan District, said on the day of the
incident during his ride passing the rice field at between 08:00
- 08:30 pm, he saw an entity that looked like a moving
scarecrow. He stared at that entity for three minutes, and it
stared back at him, nodding as if it was asking for help. He did
not pay attention any longer. After that, some villagers claimed
that they saw the entity floating up the sky and flew around,
unlike the floating of a balloon. The night before the incident,
a shooting star or "pee-poong-tai" had been witnessed in the
same area. The villagers, therefore, believed that what they had
seen was definitely not the doll claimed by Tongmuan, a member
of Pasak Subdistrict Administrative Organization.

Banjong Yang-yuen, Jan Jawa Subdistrict Municipality Mayor, Mae
Jan District, Chiang Rai Province, said after the news reports
on aliens a number of people showed their interest and doubt.
Yesterday there were villagers riding on several pickup trucks
visiting Mae Jan District Office due to the rumor that the alien
had been caught, which was not true. The mayor ordered officials
to fix the road near the area the alien had been witnessed, as
each day there were a significant number of visitors resulting
in the road being damaged and muddy.

Also, he requested the village chief to set up a camera and
undertake monitoring. If an entity that resembled an alien was
witnessed, photographs were to be taken and used as evidence
preventing confusion and for clarifying the incident. There were
doubts whether the villagers had witnessed the doll missing from
the near village or alien claimed.

According to a myth, Huay Nam Rak Village, Jan Jawa Subdistrict,
Mae Jan District, was 1,500-year "wiang nong lom", an ancient
city suffering from earthquakes and collapsing into the area now
called "Chiang San Lake" where old swords, household utensils
and city walls were found.
