Patricia, age 27 at the time—was in the kitchen of her house. The time was around 17:15 hours and having completed some chores, she was taking a break. Patricia’s kitchen has a window from which the trees of neighboring houses can be seen. Specifically, a palta (avocado tree) located in the backyard of a neighboring property. She was looking at the bough of this tree when something caught her attention. According to Patricia, she saw what she described as “a little man staring back at me” from between the branches and leaves of the tree. The “entity” in question (according to Patricia) was in a squatting position and staring at her fixedly. Alarmed, Patricia ran and called for her husband, who was in another part of their home, to show him what was on the tree. When her husband reached the kitchen and looked through the window, he saw nothing unusual. He tried to calm her down (Patricia was excited and kept repeating “I swear I saw it, it was in the trees, looking at me”), and a few moments later, knowing the interest of one of the sources (Carlos Sainz), she went to his house to tell him about the experience. Patricia said the being reminded her of the character “Gollum” from The Lord of the Rings saga. She estimated its height at around one meter, despite not having seen the figure upright. It was very thin, hairless and with whitish eyes, “huddled” between the branches of the avocado tree. She stressed the fact that it stared fixedly at her. According to the source Patricia is a person with no interest whatsoever in the UFO phenomenon or in strange “events”, and is not in the least bit fantasy prone. According to the source who emphasizes that he doesn’t think it has anything to do with what Patricia saw (but does not know it for a fact) in the months following the apparition, one of the residents of the house adjacent to the avocado tree (a neighbor, known to the source) contracted a serious malady. Weeks later, in 2014, sadly this person committed suicide on account of this malady.
