The scenario and events surrounding this case may sound commonplace to some ufologists, however, La Rubia's abductors were unusually mechanical, almost "droid"-like, in appearance, rather than the typical reports of physical beings with eyes, small mouths, pale skin, no clothing, etc. Each being in La Rubia's case was about 1.2 m (4 ft) tall, not including the vertical antennae on top of their featureless heads (shaped like a rugby ball, standing erect on its tip). Their heads were also equipped with a horizontal belt of blue, mirror-like structures encircling its diameter. Beneath the head, which had no neck, was a sturdy, ovoid body covered in metallic "scales", resembling dulled aluminum or another silver-colored metal. They also had a waist-high "belt" bearing a series of hooks, which were all holding syringe-like tools, as well as two arm-like appendages that curved downwards but terminated in a dull point, lacking hands or digits. Rather than having a pair of legs or feet, the beings' bodies were borne upon a tall, slim, central "pedestal" with a circular base at ground level.
