The Space Brains of Palos Verdes also known as The 'Encounter on Dapple Gray Lane' sighting was a bizarre extraterrestrial sighting that took place on the night of August 17, 1971 in Palos Verdes, California. The two reported witnesses were Peter Rodriguez and John Hodges, two residents of Palos Verdes.
Appearance[]
The two witnesses described the creatures as simply being brain-like in appearance. Rodriguez and Hodges asserted that the “brains” were bluish in color and were shrouded by a strange, localized vapor.
They described one of the creatures as being approximately “the size of an overgrown softball,” while the second one had the dimensions of a human torso and — most startlingly — seemed to have a red, eye-like organ wedged into the center of its frontal lobe.

Artists interpretation.
- "Take the time to understand yourselves. The time draws near when you shall need to. You shall not remember this incident until we meet again." (AmericanMonsters.com)
