1976 HUMANOID SIGHTING REPORTSCompiled byAlbert Rosalesgaruda79@att.net

1976 must be considered a landmark year as far as encounters with bizarre humanoid creatures and alleged contacts with strange beings. Beginning with a number of encounters with a winged creature in Texas and the classic Kentucky abduction of three women and the repeated landings in Isere France, 1976 never let up. Encounters were many and widespread. The US, Brazil, Britain, Europe were all main focal points of encounters, but bizarre encounters were reported also from Spain, Iran, Australia and Italy. After the 1975 madness, which included the SAC bases overflights 1976 was not about to be outdone. After everything is said and done, it could well be the record year. Following are the known reported cases.

1.
Location. Near Elliott Northern Territory Australia
Date: 1976
Time: unknown
A large bright object landed near the elderly witness and several beings (undescribed) emerged and took him onboard the craft. He was asked several questions concerning life on earth. He was then returned unharmed to the same spot where he had been picked up. No other information.

Four friends, three local police officers and a professor had gone out on a hunting trip and as they drove near the town in the vicinity of a curve they saw about 100 meters away a human like figure, about 2 meters in height, floating about half a meter from the ground. They slowed the vehicle and observed the figure from a close distance. The figure wore a shiny white outfit and his facial features were not visible. He wore a white belt that had a bright rectangular light on the buckle area. They stopped the vehicle about 100 meters away and drove up to the side of the road not knowing what to do. As they sat there they saw through the rearview mirror a huge brilliant object apparently on the ground, oval in shape that emitted a dim uniform light. Afraid they decided to cancel the hunting trip and drove away from the area.

Time: 0300A-0400A
After suffering a job-related injury to his back the 18-year old witness, Vladimir S. was sent to this region by his family for repose and to seek locals with curative powers which were known to live in the region. His injury required him to walk with a cane. While there he camped, along with several others on a small peninsula by the river Chosovaya. Immediately he was struck by the apparent complete absence of wildlife in the area, including insects in an area with some trees and plants. One night at the end of his stay in the area Vladimir woke up around 0300A in order to satisfy a certain physiological need. At about 20 meters from the tent he noticed a luminous egg-shaped object rising out of the river. Stunned he stood watching as the object hovered in total silence in front of him. The craft was luminous matte yellow in color and apparently translucent which emitted a strong heat that the witness felt engulf his face. Inside the object stood a humanoid about 1.90m in height, with arms tightly held against its body, it had long hair and the witness was unable to see its feet. Suddenly from the top of the object a green beam of light shot out striking the witness full on the face like a photo flash, he was unable to see anything for several seconds. When he was able to see again he noticed the object flying away into the distance and disappearing from sight. Very soon after this incident the witness recovered completely from his injuries and did not necessitate a cane to walk every again.

A Mr. Lima, age 45, was driving when he observed two entities of humanoid appearance on the side of the road. They were about 7-feet tall, appeared to be of a blue/green color and the skull at the level of the ears formed a swelling. He also noticed a bright yellow light behind a wall and a noise resembling compressed air that caused the leaves on the trees to move. The engine of his car experienced difficulties and his light beams lost brightness.

Date: 1976
Time: noon
A 31-year old woman was doing household chores when she suddenly felt ill. Suddenly three little beings appeared in front of her. One of the beings was five-foot tall, slender and with an elongated face. The other two were much shorter, with chubby, broader faces. All three had large eyes, very small noses, and mouth. All wore monk like cloaks. Telepathically the taller being told the witness that she had to go with them. She refused and next recalled seeing her fiancé at 1730 when he arrived home. A hypnotic regression proves fruitless.

The young witness stepped out of his house to find the area strangely quiet and deserted. He looked up and saw a strange object that appeared to be descending rapidly. As it came closer he could see three beings inside the transparent object. One was standing in the middle dome while the other two were seated besides the taller standing being. The middle taller being, seemed to be pointing at the witness. The object was moving in a zigzag fashion. The tall being was wearing a long red robe that covered his feet. It had a gray beard and small Oriental eyes. The two smaller beings were bluish in color and had what appeared to be an oxygen hose coming out of their mouths. Frightened the witness ran back into the house and did not see the object depart.

Comments: Interesting report from a country from where very few humanoid reports are known. The description of the tall entity is interesting since an almost identical humanoid was reported in France in 1951 inside a similar object. The two short “bluish” humanoids appear to be from a different species. According to information from the Indonesian UFO Group “BETA UFO” this case most probably took place in 1985!

Time: evening
After a bitter family dispute the witness drove his truck to a prairie area southwest of town. He parked the vehicle and began walking around the area. He then heard a rustling sound from behind the sagebrush and then saw a tall figure approach. The figure left, then the witness heard a whistling noise and became paralyzed. A tube suddenly came down engulfing the witness and transporting him up into a hovering object. He floated through some kind of passage that took him into a room where he landed on a glass like table. As he lay there four tall figures came into the room. They began to examine him using a strange scanning device. All the data picked up by the device was fed into a peculiar gray screen where the witness saw his internal organs. The beings were described as seven-foot tall, grayish in color, with 3-fingered hands. They were friendly and wore flexible armor type suits and dark opaque helmets. After awhile the beings conversed among themselves and released the witness down the same glass like elevator or tube.

Seconds later she came upon an object sitting on three legs on a dry riverbed. Gathered near it were seven men about six-feet tall in dark tight-fitting diving suits. They appeared to be surprised to see her and stared at her. One was kneeling and putting pebbles into a transparent bag. He spoke to her in an unknown language. The men looked like normal humans, they had normal mouths, long pointy noses normal hands and appeared to have no hair or the clothing covered their heads.

Time: late evening
The main witness and a friend were walking back home along a darkened street when they suddenly heard a whistling sound at the end of the street, looking up, they saw above a nearby house a hovering dark mass, in the center of the “mass” there were several circular multicolored lights, the mass emitted three flashes of light and passed over the witnesses, who terrified ran to their house. Later along with his father the main witness searched the area but found nothing. Years later the main witness was able to recall more details about the incident. There had been an apparent time lapse. The witness recalls that at the time of the object emitted the three flashes it descended towards the ground. A circular opening became visible and a cloud of “gas” seemed to envelop the witnesses. Both felt as if they were taken onboard the object through the opening. Inside they found themselves standing in a round entrance with two bright corridors. One of the corridors darkened and then both witnesses entered the lighted corridor and follow it. There a small entity confronted them. The entity was slightly smaller than the witness, dark green-khaki in color with a disproportionate sized head as compared to its body; it had large almond shaped eyes, a very flat slit like nose, and a long lipless mouth. The entity communicated by using telepathy and the witnesses answered back in French. He asked them not to be afraid that he was not going to harm them. The main witness was then escorted to a table and made to lie down on it. At the same time, other entities, gray in color and different from the other entity accompanied his friend to another table; his fried resisted and struggled with the entities. The green entity told the witness that the “gray” aliens were malicious but that his friend should not be afraid. The gray entities proceeded in taking skin, nail, and blood and hair samples from both witnesses. From the ceiling a “machine” with a long needle descended. The green entity told the witness not to be afraid as the needled is inserted into his left nostril. He feels extreme discomfort and feels something was inserted into the nose cavity. After the physical examination both witnesses found themselves in a room with the green-khaki colored entity. The main witness was told to follow the entity into another room, but his friend was told to remain behind. He was taken into a room where he saw charts and screens on the wall and what appeared to be “star maps”. Using telepathic means, the entity told the witness that he was from another planet and that he was a biologist. Apparently as a reward for being cooperative, the alien showed the witness a screen where he saw other planets. The alien said that they would return in 20 or 30 years. Soon the witness found his friend in the corridor; they heard an unknown voice and were transported to the ground within a cloud of vapor. At this point is when the 2 terrified witnesses ran home in a panic.

The witness, VVK, went to this café several times a week to have a beer. One day he saw a tall and very handsome blond-haired man with blue eyes sitting alone on a table, drinking water. He struck up a conversation with the man and learned he was an extraterrestrial, who did not know what to do in Belgium (?) and had no money to pay the water he was drinking. VVK paid for the water and offered the stranger lodging at his apartment. At this point the witness tried to interest the Belgium UFO group SOBEPS about his “guest” but they were not interested. One day the tall “extraterrestrial” disappeared along with the witness wife, never to be heard from again, leaving him alone with his little daughter. (?)

One night the witness was riding his bicycle just south of the village when his dog, a large black lab, took off ahead growling and barking. The dog headed for the opening to a cottage driveway. The witness approached and saw what he though at first was a big large cat, but then it appeared just like a white shape. He dismounted his bike and attempted to stop his dog from attacking the creature. While he was shouting at the dog, the creature moved towards a bunch of cedar trees and then stopped. Just as the dog was about to pounce on the creature, “it stood up.” It was about 3 ft tall, with long willowy arms and a large head. Then the creature emitted a sound that was hard to describe. It resembled a very loud sub-sonic grunt or blast. The witness felt surrounded by the sound. The dog stopped in its tracks, turned, and ran behind the witness with its tail between its legs. Terrified the witness ran down the road with his dog, pushing the bicycle ahead of him. He did not see the creature again.

Manolis S, an amateur astronomer, was observing the night sky with his telescope when he saw a “flying figure” crossing the disk of the moon, in a distance of “some dozens of hundreds of meters.” He was greatly surprised. The creature was moving very slowly. It must have been as tall as a human, with united legs and open, unmoving wings, like the letter “T.” Its color was light tan and the witness had the impression that the entity was semi-transparent and also had the impression that the flying creature was looking at him. A friend told the witness that he had a similar experience with a flying creature, again in Rhodes.

The witness, who lived near the local Boeing Aircraft plant at the time, had stepped out of the house for a breath of fresh air when he noticed what he thought were helicopter lights approaching and stopping to hover over a nearby building at the Boeing plant. Suddenly the lights shot straight up, went to the north end of the plant, and descended to hover again. The object then made a quick arc and came up to the witness house. The witness was now able to see the object clearly and described it as a circular silvery object with a curved low top and sides, which sloped inward towards the bottom. Around the sloping sides was a continuous row of windows separated by thin vertical supports. The craft had a yellowish amber light in the center of the top. Several moving figures or images could be seen moving back and forth in front of the lighted background in the center section behind the windows. After about three minutes the object moved slowly away in an arc towards Lake Washington disappearing from sight behind trees.

The witness was lying in bed suffering from insomnia, when she heard a noise coming from outside, she looked out the window and saw a disc shaped object hovering about 25 feet up. She attempted to wake her husband, but it was no use. She suddenly was overcome with a peaceful feeling and found herself standing next to the saucer. A door opened and she walked in. A voice told her to leave her nightgown at the door. She walked through a beam of light and into a room where there were six women, each from a different country. Each of the women were given translators bracelets so that they could understand each other. Suddenly a voice rang out saying “The creator would be in, in a moment,” and a man about seven-feet tall walked in. He was described as “beautiful” with white hair, a white beard, and wearing a white robe. He told the women that they were there for a specific purpose. She was apparently given some information that she will remember when the time comes.

They asked her via telepathy if she would like to come onboard. She briefly blacks out and the next thing she remembers was standing at the kitchen table. Three little humanoids stood at the other corner, one seemed to be talking. The beings put a map on the table and apparently showed the witness where they were from. Suddenly the beings and map disappeared. The beings were described as having round shoulders, funny shaped heads, no hair, gray color, and friendly in nature. They seemed to have been taller while in the kitchen. The craft was round with a dome on top.

During a rash of sightings in the area, which included disc-shaped objects, triangular objects, and large glowing globular objects, a witness, a foreign student, reported that while camped on an island in the inter-coastal waterway, he encountered a small, four feet tall silvery entity. He reportedly took a Polaroid photograph of the humanoid creature. Several research organizations, and one photographic specialist examined this photo, but no conclusion was reached concerning the validity of the entity. This large body of saline water is part of the Cape Canaveral Space Center.

While guarding an ammunition depot near a freight train a military guard observed a strange figure about 1.20 meters in height, black in color that was moving over the train tracks in a very quick and agile manner. Two guards approached the figure and pointed their rifles at it and it suddenly turned around and stared at the two men with two large bright red glowing eyes, it jumped up into the darkness and disappeared. Other soldiers at the base had seen a similar figure around the same time and strange objects over the area had also been reported. One night, in the same base a soldier was given the task to guard a metallic cage, which contained a weird reptilian creature that emitted strange, grunting sounds. One night while standing duty a dark helicopter landed and three military personnel exited the craft, these proceeded to pick up the cage with the humanoid and left immediately. The guard described the humanoid as resembling a “reptilian penguin” with strong jaws and claws. It was about 40 cm in height. The guard observed that the helicopter lacked any identifiable markings on it.

Time: night
About a dozen special KGB troops including 3 officers and led by a Major were dropped off at the island by a launch during military maneuvers in the area. As they patrolled the uninhabited island the group entered a strange fogbank. At this moment the Major perceived an incomprehensible anxiety. His expedition was a cover for a special operation designed to verify countless reports by locals of bizarre phenomena observed in the island and surrounding territories, which included flying luminous spheres, feelings of groundless horror and encounters with mysterious beings. The fog suddenly dissipated and the soldiers stumbled into a high fence, which according to maps was not supposed to be there. Weapons at the ready the men climbed the fence and arrived at an area next to a large rocky hill, next to the hill they saw a silvery sphere about 5 meters in diameter sitting on the ground, it brightly reflected the sunlight. Next to the sphere stood three strangely dressed persons, on the belt of each hung what appeared to be a “laser gun” as perceived by the Major and his troops. The Major silently ordered his soldiers to noiselessly move along the fence and be prepared for battle. The plan was to detain the strangers and if necessary to use force. Major waved his pistol and the men silently rushed the sparkling sphere. The figures standing around it reacted and attempted to grasp their weapons but were instantly cut down by the soldier’s automatic fire. After ordering the men not to touch anything the Major searched the corpses of the strangers. He took out a long thin tube, which had a knob with several colored buttons from one of the stranger’s belt. After directing the muzzle into the sand he pressed one of the buttons but nothing happened. Suddenly they heard a whistle and all the men including the Major squatted down expecting trouble, at this point the Major noticed that at the spot where he had pointed the strange “weapon’s” muzzle there was a large round spot of melted sand. He realized that it had taken a very high temperature to perform this. One of the soldiers then came running over reporting that he found a small cave on the rocky cliff. Led by the Major the soldiers enter the grotto and after a short passage entered a small hall, lined by rows of long tables filled with incomprehensible equipment, in the center of which, was located an apparent control panel. At the tables and inclined over the instruments were several huge man-like figures over two meters in height, wearing silvery overalls. Outwardly these giants were very similar to people. Other smaller figures also wearing silvery coveralls walked along the tables. A bright light from an unknown source illuminated the hall. The men began firing their weapons in all directions and the dwarf-like figures began falling, however the bullets appeared to have no effect on the giants whatsoever. Menacingly the giants rose from their seats and rushed the men who began a panicky retreat. As the men ran like mad towards the shore they heard a loud cracking sound behind them, looking behind them they saw bright beams of white light being directed towards the sky, which changed colors to red, to blue and then to multicolored waves of light. After several minutes the lower end of the beam of light became thin as a needle and began to describe circles above the island, moments later the stunned men saw what appeared to be a fiery conflagration above the island, which lasted for about 20 minutes. Suddenly everything disappeared. The men were debriefed and threatened not to divulge what had occurred. No traces were located during a search, according to KGB sources.

Shelley W was living in a cottage and had broken her foot, playing cricket, thus was resting one afternoon. The tinkle of bells could be heard although her husband, on entering the room with a cup of tea, heard nothing. Shelley heard the words, “Mayo, Mayo” and felt an alien presence wished to implant a transistor in her head to make a clearer reception. She experienced the feeling of skimming across water, but somehow resisted being taken to an unknown destination. The words, “No time” kept coming up, to mean there is no such thing as time and “You’re woman” was clearly stated. A form of contact was maintained in the months ahead through channeling. Her son, then 17, and a friend rushed indoors after seeing what were said to be have been a “spacecraft”. The sightings were so convincing that they reported it to the police and the press ran a story. Shelly, through channeling, made contact with tall, faired hair, blue-eyed beings on a mission of goodwill to save the planet. Our planet was described as the most violent of them all, but that could be reversed. These aliens were producing hybrids whose purpose was unclear.

In a dream like state the witness found herself lying on a table. Her clothes were gone and her legs were slung over the arms of a man, or so she thought until she looked up at his face and saw that it was not human. There stood a being that had the head of a dog with long pointed ears, a long muzzle, reddish brown fur on the face and neck, light colored eyes. His body was human looking. It was pale but the sexual organ had reddish stripes as well as hi slower abdomen and buttocks. She struggle to get up but was unable to. She looked at him and asked what was going on. This seemed to make him angry. Suddenly she was forced to look at his eyes. They began to spin around like a pinwheel. Then his long tongue shot from his mouth straight at her face. At that moment the witness felt fear like she never had before. She felt close to death. She then fainted. The being was about 5’11” to 6’ tall. She couldn’t see the lower part of his legs or feet. She suddenly woke up in her bed with a terribly start her heart pounding. About a month later she discovered that she was pregnant. Around the same time she began to see little twinkling lights. She would see hundreds of them at one time. They seemed to be always there and were very comforting. They seem very nosey sometimes. She had a normal pregnancy with no problems. When her son Tony was born there were no problems. It was completely natural. But when he was placed in her arms, she noticed large splotches of light all around. The colors were white, electric blue, and gold. They were so intense that she asked if anyone else could see them. No one else could. In August 1988 she received a Time-Life book in the mail. It was about mythical creatures. She sat down and looked through the book and then she came across a page that had a picture of a statue on it. It was a being that she had seen in her dream like state 11 years earlier. His name was Anubis. Upon seeing the picture her son Tommy told her that she had seen the same being in his dreams. He said that the dream was always the same. He would be walking into this pyramid and when she got inside the creature called Anubis would step down from behind a wall and start talking to him. He couldn’t remember what was being said. He described the creature as having dark reddish brown fur on the face, and peach color skin and wearing a skirt-like thing that was red in color.

6-year old Hermann E Bossi was suddenly awoken by what he termed were “holograms” somehow projected on the western wall of his bedroom, opposite to his bed. He saw two holograms resembling “chimneys” that appeared to be speaking (!) in an unknown language, similar to a high speed squeaking. In great fear Hermann ran out the bedroom door but apparently the “holograms” followed him along the corridor. He went into his parent’s bedroom and waited. After about half an hour a loud humming-buzzing sound filled the room, the sound came at intervals of about a second each. An unknown force somehow made the young witness leave his parent’s bed and in their bedroom (I assume his parents slept through the whole fantastic event)) he was confronted by several robot-like figures shaped like flat cylinders, black metallic in color, with a indentation on the top. He also saw another type of cylinder, larger than the others that apparently guided the other robots. Without any self control Bossi climbed on top of one of the smaller cylinders and felt totally glued to it, like a piece of iron on a magnet. The cylinder then flew out to the corridor, followed by the other cylinders as the witness held on wanting to cry but unable to move a muscle. As the witness flew on top of the cylinder through the corridor he was somehow able to switch a light switch on, but he was further drawn through the corridor. But after a few seconds the cylinders seem to disintegrate under him. In great fear he ran to the kitchen in search of a weapon for self-defense. His next recollection was of seeing an “owl” that stared at him through the kitchen window. He stood at the window opposite to the “owl” and also stared at it. Finally he went back to his parent’s bedroom and slept between his father and mother. After some minutes he felt a presence in the room but could not see anyone. He felt calm in the presence of the invisible visitors and in his mind he could hear the names, “Hather & Uasyr”. Finally the invisible beings left. His parents remained asleep.

A traveling salesman was driving his car on the Saukkoaava Road towards Vuostimo when he was near the outskirts of Kemijarvi close to the Niskala farm he spotted a large disc-shaped bright object descend gently towards the ground, flying over his car. As this happened his vehicle engine ceased to run and he had no choice but to stop the car. The bright object landed on the road some 100 meters away. The witness estimated the object to be about four 4 meters in diameter and one and a half in height. It was shining brightly. A few minutes’ later two small humanoids appeared besides the object. In the darkness the witness could see that they wore strange looking dark green suits and were about 80 cm in height. The two humanoids began to walk towards the witness car, but when they were about 40 meters away they suddenly turned around and hurried back to the object. The witness did not see how they entered the object but the object ascended almost at once straight up and vanished behind some thin clouds without a sound. When the object disappeared he was able to re-start his car again. He drove to scene where the object had landed and he found three landing marks, five cm wide and two & a half meters apart.

During a storm, the 10-year old witness saw a very large bird-like creature land silently about six feet from him. It was at least eight ft tall, with large glowing red eyes and a wingspan of about 20 ft. Terrified, the witness stood frozen in place. At that point his dog ran towards the creature barking furiously. That apparently broke the spell and the witness screamed and jumped on top of his father’s car. The giant bird like creature then flew off as silently as it had arrived. The witness continued to scream until his father came out. His father found strange prints on the ground.

As he approached the site to investigate he was able to see a large hovering saucer shaped object with a hump on its center bottom section. It was surrounded by red light. As the witness moved closer to the object he heard a low whirring sound and the object descended and landed on a tripod like gear. A stairway like protrusion descended towards the ground. Then a figure appeared and began to climb down to the ground. The humanoid was described as eight-foot tall, with long dangling arms a huge torso and two stump like legs. His face was long and oval shaped, it had two large tear shaped eyes. The witness felt paralyzed as the creature began moving towards him using high loping steps. The witness felt a strong humming inside his skull and smelled an odor resembling rotten eggs. Moments later on the road behind him a car went by, this apparently caused the creature to walk back and board the object which then lifted off at high speed and disappeared.

The witness was exploring a remote area of the Amazon jungle when after getting up one morning he observed a silent disc shaped object pass overhead and descend out of sight behind some trees. The witness prepared a backpack, grabbed his machete, and walked towards the direction where the object had descended. He eventually came upon a large disc shaped craft that hovered over some nearby bushes. As he stood watching he felt somebody touch his arm, as he turned around two tall blond men wearing silvery one-piece coveralls confronted him. The men had several strange instruments hanging from pockets on the coveralls. They spoke to the witness in a soft melodic unknown language. While they spoke, one of the men took out a small apparatus from his pocket and seemed to adjust it. Suddenly their language became clear and understood by the witness, who spoke German. They spoke to the witness, telling him that they originated from the star cluster known as Proxima Centauri.

Tracey Lawson, eleven, and her cousin Jackie Davies fourteen, were playing in Tracey’s backyard in an area in the Rio Grande Valley. As they looked out on a plowed field beyond the yard they noticed an unusual object standing some 100 yards away, near a borrow pit bordering an irrigation canal. Tracey went inside her house to get field glasses, through which she observed a “horrible looking” black bird of extraordinary size, over five feet tall. Its wings were folded around its body, and the bird was staring at the girls through large, dark red eyes attached to a gray “gorilla-like” face. Its head was bald, and it had a beak at least six inches long, it made a loud, shrill “eeee” sound. The bird or whatever it was lost to view for a few moments, reappearing on the northeast corner of the property, its head poking above a small clump of trees. The girls fled inside and told Tracey’s mother and father, who did not believe them. But the next day Jackie’s stepfather, Tom Waldon, found strange tracks, three-toed, eight inches across, and square at the head, pressed an inch and a half into the hard ground. Stan Lawson also noted how oddly the family dog was behaving. It cowered inside the doghouse all day, leaving it only at suppertime, when it bolted into the house and had to be dragged out. That night Lawson thought he heard large wings scraping across the bedroom window, but whatever caused the sound left no trace of its passing.

The witness, who had been camping in an isolated area, was walking back to the cabin when he saw two “youngsters” who appeared to be skiing, approaching along an old hiking trail. They seemed to be wearing some sort of light colored reflective outfits. A few minutes later the road dipped slightly and he lost sight of them briefly. He soon regained the previous view in time to see the two young figures crossing the road to his side. He could not see the figures clearly, but they both appeared to be engaged in earnest conversation. Before they had come close enough, the two figures left the road, crossed a shallow firebreak ditch, and disappeared into the forest. Surprised the witness arrived at their last location and failed to find any footprints or marks on the snow anywhere. No path existed at the site where the two figures had vanished and there was a river on the other side of the forest. The witness retraced his steps from the cabin and failed to locate a single solitary footprint from the strangers.

Jean Claude Silvente, 10, was walking through a brush grown vacant lot (surrounded by buildings) when he heard a noise, and saw that a UFO had landed at the edge of the brush. About 30 feet away, it was a bell shaped object about 15 ft high, white luminous, resting on 5 thin legs. A door opened and a “giant” at least 6.5 foot tall emerged, walking stiffly and with his arms extended in front of him, in the manner of a sleepwalker. He wore a tight white luminous coverall and had long blond hair. On the back of his hands was a green circle. When the boy sneezed, this “giant” turned toward him, and Jean Claude ran home. Shortly afterwards he was sent to get milk; while returning, he saw the same being, following him on the sidewalk at 80 ft distance, still with his arms stiffly in front of him. The witness ran home.

Mona Stafford, Louise Smith, and Elaine Thomas were in a car driving home when they saw a luminous object descend from the sky. It came down the road toward them and they saw it was a football shaped object “as big as a house” with a small dome on top, surmounted by a very brilliant blue-white light. It came toward them, passed them on the right, and came to the road again behind the car. The intensity of the light gave them headaches. Then the car moved without their control, traveling at 85 mph although the driver’s foot was not on the gas; it seemed to be pulled backwards by the beam of light from the UFO. They found themselves entering Hustonville with no recollection of how they got there. When they arrived back at Louise’s house in Liberty, they found that more than 2 hours had elapsed, although the trip normally takes 45 minutes. All 3 women had burns resembling very strong sunburn on the backs of their necks. Under hypnosis all 3 remembered being physically examined, presumably onboard the UFO. Elaine Thomas recalled lying on her back while small figures about 4-foot tall passed by and looked at her; a blunt instrument pressed hard against her chest, and her breathing was interfered with. Louise Smith recalled being in a hot, dark place where something was placed over her face; when it was removed, she saw a being 4.5 foot tall, with slanted eyes, gray skin, and hand like wingtips. Mona Stafford remembered lying on a bed, her right arm pinned down, while 3 or 4 figures in white gowns sat around her, and she was put through torturous manipulations. All 3 women passed lie detector tests.

Alverico Guajardo heard something hit his trailer, dashing outside he got into his station wagon, drove it slowly around the south side of the trailer and shone his headlights on “something from another planet.” As the lights hit the creature, which had been lying on the ground, it suddenly rose up and stared at Guajardo with blazing red eyes the size of silver dollars. For the next 2 or 3 minutes it stood gazing at the man, who sat immobilized with fear. The creature was 4-feet tall, with black feathers and a beak whose length was between two and four feet. It was making a “horrible sounding noise” from its throat, which appeared to be pulsating. Its long bat-like wings were folded around its shoulders. The creature then backed carefully away toward a dirt road three feet away. By the time Guajardo had gathered enough courage to bolt out of his vehicle toward a neighbor’s house, the creature had vanished into the darkness.

Nikolay N, a truck driver from a glass-packing plant from the town of Kerch (Crimea) was driving his “Kolhida” truck (lorry with trailer) on the road in the Western Ukraine on his way to the town Ivano-Frankovsk felt very tired and stopped on the side of the road in order to have some rest and sleep inside the truck’s cabin. About 0100A someone from outside knocked on his cabin. Nikolay awoke and noticed three men standing near his truck. They were of average height, resembling normal humans (it was dark and the facial details were hard to discern). They were dressed in what appeared to be gray-beige sweaters. In a “pure” Russian dialect the men yelled out that their “car” was stuck that they needed assistance. Being very helpful in nature, Nikolay without hesitation exited the cabin and followed the men. Soon they approached an area but there was no car in sight, instead, a cylinder-shaped object, standing vertically, very much resembling an oil tower derrick. The upper section of the object was dome-shaped and gave off some light from inside. A hatch was opened in the lower section of the object from which a ladder descended to the ground. Interestingly Nikolay felt either fear or apprehension while looking at the spectacle. On the contrary he felt as if he were among old friends. The “aliens” invited Nikolay to enter the craft. He stepped onto the ladder and ascended entering a room resembling a salon. They asked him to seat on a chair, purple-reddish in color, with elbow rests and very soft. 3 male aliens stood in front of him while he heard other voices emanating from another room, one was male the other voice belonged to a female. While seating on the chair he apparently lost consciousness. He awoke laying on an examination table, his hands stretched over his head and his body covered with what appeared to be sensors or different devices. Confused at first he asked a female alien standing nearby where he was and what was wrong with him. A young man dressed in a tight-fitting overall, reddish in color approached him and told him not to worry that he was in their base. Soon after that Nikolay stood up and entered another room along with his alien guides. This room was a huge hall, about 12-13 meters in height, filled with numerous strange devices, tall boxes and instrument panels that saturated the hall. He remembered seeing a map of the Earth hanging near the control panels, surrounded by numerous lighting fixtures. Near the panel sat two aliens, one male and one female. He was able to hear part of their conversation as they spoke about a recent flight. (Strangely the communication was telepathically, but in the pure ancient Russian language). Soon Nikolay’s guide approached him and told him, “We are on the moon, and now we can go to its surface”. This remarkable statement caused neither fear nor amazement on Nikolay as he was apparently under some kind of mild mind control. He was to say later that he does not know why he felt so brave. He was soon dressed in a silver color “space suit”, which was very easy to wear. He was given black gloves to wear, with cuffs and a silver transparent domed helmet was put on his head. His alien guide was also dressed similarly. They approached the entryway from the large hall. There Nikolay saw an interesting device standing erect on the floor; its upper section was black in color. The center of this device emitted a crimson-scarlet colored light. “What is this” Nikolay asked. He was told that it was their source of energy. They soon entered a dark room, apparently some sort of elevator (apparently the base was located under the moon’s surface). Soon the door opened and Nikolay and his guide proceeded to walk upon a darkened surface of the moon, his guide carried a sort of flashlight-like object. Nikolay could see the Earth covered with clouds. He also bent down and grabbed some of the lunar soil. His guide then told Nikolay that some of the Russian lunar probes launched in the 70; s (Lunohod) were located apparently at a very long distance from the location. Nikolay noticed that everything on the moon’s surface looked very sharp and clear. After walking on the lunar surface for a while they returned back to the underground base. The chief of the alien lunar base displayed interest on what Nikolay had said while on the surface and asked his alien guide. After that Nikolay asked the aliens three questions, “How do you hear each other”, “What is the principle of the UFOs propulsion” and “Can cancer be cured”. The answers were as follows, “We communicate among each other via radio” To the second question there was no answer; the third answer was “No”. After that Nikolay asked a further question, “Can I visit you one more time” The answer was vague but it mentioned that humans were very technically weak and he would not be believed. “Where are you from?” asked Nikolay. He was told that they lived and worked on the moon. He was told that if they needed to see him again they would find him. After that he was again taken onboard the alien spacecraft where he lost consciousness. He awoke in the early morning of January 8 inside the cabin of his truck as if nothing had happened. Nearby another truck was parked. Its driver approached Nikolay’s truck and asked him, “Hey did you see the three men that approached your truck at night”. Nikolay then remembered the three men that had asked him to help allegedly because their car was disabled. Several years after the encounter, Nikolay, now a resident of the town of Kerch was walking on the streets of Kerch when he saw a man, which somehow looked very familiar to him. The man stopped and looked at him, and asked him how he liked his lunar trip. Nikolay was completely stunned since he had never told anyone about his lunar trip, and this man knew somehow, he was apparently an extraterrestrial. The theory was proposed was that the humans he met had been taken and worked for an alien civilization on the moon.

Jean Dolecki was driving home after dark when a luminous object appeared in the sky and landed in a field beside the road, 100 yards away. It had the form of a cylinder with a narrow waist, the upper portion larger than the lower one, 40-45 ft in diameter and 50-60 ft high. From the bottom a bright white light was emitted, which illuminated it. The top surface seemed to be vibrating, and on each side near the top was attached a relatively small vertical helix, which also vibrated. A door opened in the upper portion, and 3 “robots” resembling “aluminum diving suits,” 6.5-7 ft tall, descended. They had square heads, disproportionately small legs, and in lieu of arms, a telescopic “pole” about 7 ft long, mounted on the chest. These entities moved about near the UFO, walking in a mechanical way, & wagging their poles up and down, for about 10 minutes; then they re-entered, and the machine took off, disappearing at a vertiginous speed.

Mr. Masseron sleeping in a trailer was awakened by blows on the trailer, and scratching sounds; then the vehicle was shaken. He looked out and saw, a few dozen yards away, a luminous egg shaped object about 5 ft tall and 3 ft wide, resting on the ground or very close to it; is upper half was green and its lower half red. This rose up in a spiral, emitting a sound like a jet taking off, then hovered motionless at 50 ft altitude, and then disappeared. The witness opened his door, and heard something like a message as received on a walkie-talkie set, with a background of static; the only thing he could understand was the reiteration of the letters “L.P.X.” He then noticed something moving at his left; and saw a dark human silhouette running across the road near his trailer. He noted as peculiar “the man’s whole body was oriented on the axis of prolongation of his right leg.” At the same time Ms. Zamora, sleeping in a nearby trailer in the trailer park, had been awakened by voices; she heard one voice ask, “What shall I do?” and another answer “Do as I do.” She opened a window and at once heard the “walkie-talkie message.” Then she observed, apparently at the same place where Masseron had previously seen the UFO, a luminous ellipse, green above and red beneath, which was jumping up and down. She woke her husband; the ellipse was now gone, but the “message” was still continuing. The investigator, searching on the same night, found “rather curious footprints” at the place toward which the man had been seen running.

A 14-year old boy was walking through falling snow to a friend’s house when he saw a large glowing figure walking, or rather floating, near some sumac bushes 400 ft away. The figure was seen in profile, from the waist up. There was no discernible face, and the back of the head was flat and corrugated. The glow from the head extended above the bushes (7-8 ft high) and extended about 9” from the body, with a less luminous silvery outer glow that extended 9” beyond that. The witness ran to the friend’s house; then with two other friends, carrying a 22-caliber rifle he returned to the site. They saw the figure; when one of them played a flashlight beam on it, it fell backwards behind the ridge. It had no facial features, no neck, and no arms. When the flashlight was pointed elsewhere, it rose up again, and remained in flashlight view for 3-4 seconds before slowly ducking behind the ridge. When it came up a third time, the witness shot 2 shots over its head; it slowly descended for the third and last time. One of the witnesses apparently was unable to see the being.

Several witnesses reported seeing four strange humanoids accompanied by a feeling of well being that enveloped their bodies briefly and then disappeared. A strange light illuminated the area. The beings were described as tall, over 1 meter, 60cm tall, robust built, wearing dark opaque coveralls, oval shaped metallic gray colored helmets on their heads, with black egg shaped visors. The beings carried an oval shaped white metallic object on one hand and on the other, a round luminous object. On their backs they had what appeared to be rucksacks. Another witness felt heat and a strange silence and stillness in the air.

Jan Stewart drove Mary Root home from an astrology class, arriving at 0315A, and then drove home herself, arriving at 0430A whereas it should have been only 0330A. Later in the morning, after breakfast, she began to feel sick. The next day she remembered dreaming that she was sitting in a sort of cell with 2 red lights. Later under hypnotic regression, she remembered that a tall white clad figure had come up to her car door and that she had opened the door and taken his white-gloved hand. There was a red haze and 2 other white clad beings who were standing in the door of the translucent “bottom bubble” of a UFO resting beside the road. The 3 humanoids forced her inside, where she could see nothing until she saw, close to her face, a face with big, slanted eyes, which terrified her. She also remembered sitting in the red-lighted cell. Then she was allowed to return to her car, whose engine was still running; an hour had passed.

The main witness remembers working in a warehouse on Rte 109 when one morning in the dead of winter there was talk of something falling from the sky and landing in a pond on one of the arms and melting the ice. He said to his co-workers, “let’s go over there and view the area were the event happened.” But he was told that nobody could get in there because the military had closed the area off. He did not see anything about in the local newspapers the next day either. However later that spring there were reports of a small strange being in the local paper dubbed, “the creature” sighted and reported to the Millis and possibly to the Dover police by several students. (Strange report, but the “Dover Demon” was not encountered until April of 1977).

Before he knew what was happening, the creature made a hissing sound, jumped him, ripped into his shoulders, and then hopped off. He described the creature to the police as having “a brown or almost black body, bright red eyes and the wings of a bat…short stubby legs and two arms, each about two and a half feet long. It had pointed ears, the face of a pig, but without a snout.” Investigators found mysterious feathers at the scene.

Erminio Reis, 30, and his wife Bianca were driving on the Rio de Janeiro-Belo Horizonte highway near Matias Barbosa when they began to feel sleepy. Erminio pulled their VW over to the side of the highway and fell sleep over the wheel. Several minutes later, Bianca, still awake, became aware of a dead silence over the area, and noticed a blue light that appeared to intensify and approach them. As it neared, she screamed, believing it to be a plane about to crash. Her husband, now awake, had no time to say a word, as the couple, still in their car, were “absorbed” in a bright beam of light, as it through a chimney. They found themselves, still in their car, in a brightly lit, “kind of circular garage.” A kind of skylight appeared in the ceiling and two human appearing men floated down toward the car and its occupants. They were dark and about two meters tall (6’6”). They signaled to the couple to open the doors and get out, but Bianca was paralyzed with fear. Erminio got out first and his wife, eventually, followed, having to force her door open. The men were speaking incomprehensibly to the couple and Bianca screamed at them, “What do you want? What do you want?” Her husband describing the situation as “dream like,” kept repeating, “It’s a mistake, it is a mistake.” One of the two beings stepped on a button in the floor and a staircase appeared, up which the couple was led into a large compartment filled with instruments. They were given headsets to put on over their ears; one of the two entities also donned a similar set, and then plugged them into a kind of computer. As he quickly manipulated dials, the couple heard a voice say, I’ am Karen, calm down.” Bianca was told that she had to undergo a series of examinations of the skin, ears, and eyes. Then she was placed in a box-like device that turned red, inducing in her a static electric charge that caused her to lose consciousness temporarily. She was next placed in a form-fitting chair that converted into a table and bed. Both were required to drink a thick green liquid of rather bad taste. Several other entities joined the others, including one tall female with dark hair and large dark eyes. The couple was told that they performed medical research on “their” world and that age was treated as an illness, and that no one experienced death. Finally they were advised not to speak of their experience, since they would be considered mad if they did. They were told that they had a method to “erase memory.” They were then set free to continue their journey. Bianca claims that by means of a small implement that was implanted during their experience she was able to remain in communication with the being called Karen.

They appeared to be bumping into each other, suddenly a metallic object with a curved base and a flat top with several lights, swooped down over her. A pressure on her shoulders knocked her to the ground and her teeth began vibrating, hurting her mouth. She ran home terrified and attempted to scream but could not. Later under hypnosis it was revealed that the witness had suffered a time lapse. She could only recall being inside a room with a tall blond woman that wore a long gown. She was told by this woman “not to be afraid” and felt that information was being inserted in her brain at high speed. She was also given several apocalyptic messages.

It was dark green, rectangular, and taller than a telephone boot. It stood on 3 legs. From this object emerged 2 men 6’6” or more in height, who came to within 12 or 15 ft of the witness. They were clad in dark but luminous tight fitting clothing resembling rubber or plastic, with wide belts whose buckles emitted blindingly bright and hot flashes of red and white light; he could not see their faces, but noticed that they had shoulder-length blondish-white hair. The witness put his hands over his face, but could not stir from the spot. He heard the men talking in a language he could not understand; then he began to run. The UFO rose and flew over him, emitting something that burned him; he lost consciousness until at 0230A he found himself at the door of his house in Benacazon. He had to be hospitalized for shock.

While driving 14-22 miles SW of Las Vegas, country & western singer Johnny Sands saw descending from the sky a rusty orange cigar shaped object with flashing red and white lights on its end and a darker ring around the middle, in which were portholes. It was 60 ft long or longer. Then his car stopped, and he got out to check the engine. 200 ft away he saw 2 men walking toward him who wore silver sparkling one piece uniforms with a diagonal black stripe, and a round white central emblem. He wanted to get into his car, but felt paralyzed. As the men approached, he saw that they were bald and had close set squinting eyes, a gray white complexion, and something like gills under their ears. Their mouths were very small and their noses “puggish.” One of them questioned Sands in English (not using his mouth) in a slow, “robot-like” voice. Asked, “What are you doing here?” he replied, “I am an entertainer”, then “What are your means of communication,” which he was at a loss to answer. 4 or 5 other questions were asked which he has not revealed. They said that they would see him again. Turning to go, the leader brushed his fingertips over the witness hand, which seemed to release him from the paralysis; “his suit was rough, like coarse sandpaper.” They walked away, and the car started again. Many observers reported seeing rust colored cigar shaped objects over the Las Vegas Valley that night.

H K, then a student at Panteion Athens University was returning home, after his exams. Being a keen UFO enthusiast, he was reading Morris Jessup’s “The case for the UFO.” He was sitting near the door of the train coupe when suddenly a very tall man stood outside the door and stared at him. The witness did not pay any attention at first, but the man was casting a shadow and disturbing his reading. He looked at the man, and described him as about 1.90 meters in height with a very large mouth with no lips and very white teeth. His face was scarlet, “like that of a farmer.” He wore black trousers and short sleeved checkered shirt. He opened the window of the hall and stared at the witness grinning. After 15 minutes, during which the “man” was continuously staring at the witness, he made a gesture showing the book and another one like he was asking, “it is good, isn’t?” The witness was terrified. There were another seven people in the coupe but seemed like they did not notice presence of the other one outside. After 2-3 minutes, the “man” took a position where nobody in the coupe could see him except the witness. He continued to grin. After a while, the witness decided to get outside and talk to him. But outside there was nobody. He searched all the train but there was no sign of the mysterious stranger.

The figures were 61/2 to 8 ft tall, a dull black in color and had vague facial features. One figure placed a hand on the witness’s leg making him go numb to the waist while another figure tried to enclose the witness’s leg in a silver, glowing “sugar bag”. When the man called out, a figure made his mouth and right arm also go numb. The percipient managed to throw his cigarettes, lighter and an ash try towards his wife who stirred and started to put on the room light. Meanwhile the entities let go of the man, pulled off the bag, and one by one stepped over the wife’s bed and out the window, which had burst open in an orange glow.

A prominent official reported being visited in his bedroom by two beings that floated him off his bed and into the underside of a glowing golden bathtub shaped UFO. The beings were 6.5-7 ft tall and wore one piece white suits with a high collar and belts around the middle; their faces were long and ashen gray, with long noses, thin lips, and narrow eyes with slit pupils like a cat’s. The beings mentally showed the witness a picture of a piece of U-shaped tubing. Judging that something had gone wrong with their craft he asked to see it, believing he could help fix it. He was told to lie flat on his bed and with his arms folded across his chest and his toes pointing upwards. He felt a numbness come over his body and then found himself floating upwards out of his body. Inside the UFO, the witness was placed on a table and examined by a huge purple red eye-like device; he felt anesthetized. He asked questions, but was rebuffed. The entities told him: “A being as insignificant as a worm should not ask questions.” Finally he was returned to his bed, and the aliens disappeared.

The second floor bedroom window of a married couple, living in a small-unnamed village, faces a little courtyard beyond, which lies a large orchard. The wife was lying awake when she noticed a rose-violet light coming from the left side of the window, which rapidly increased in intensity as its source came closer. There then arrived at the window an object the size of a large car, which hovered motionless only 4-7 ft away from it. It was a dark body, lenticular with obliquely truncated ends, with a number of blinking lights, alternately red and white, around its circumference, and with a large cupola of transparent material, nearly rectangular in profile, from which emanated the rose and violet luminosity. Inside this transparent cupola could be seen—hardly 15 ft, from the observer—the upper half of two human silhouettes, whose backs were turned, and whose heads gave the impression of being covered with tight fitting hoods. She awakened her husband. When he saw the UFO (which had begun to recede very slowly), he wanted to go down into the courtyard, but his wife would not let him. The object continued to move away slowly without gaining altitude, and eventually (at about 800 ft. distance) was lost to view over the orchard.

The next morning M.J. had a sore stomach and a very inflamed navel, and C.W. had a small puncture mark on her spine with 4 little marks around it. Under hypnosis M.J. remembered that 4 short figures in black “snowmobile suits” with helmets over their heads had approached the car, while hovering over a field was a helmet shaped object 30-40 ft in diameter, with a big white light in the middle and little lights recessed around it. She found herself outside the car, and the Ufonauts came up and pulled at her arm; then she remembered sitting on a cot inside a room with a rounded door, where there was a chrome cylinder. A “nurse” wearing a facemask, with big black eyes, accompanied by a “doctor”, brought up a needle; M.J jumped off the cot, but was caught and fastened to it, and the needle was inserted into her stomach. Then a number of people with chalk white, cat like faces, wearing cream-colored robes, appeared; they had scaly skin and long fingernails, small noses and no visible mouths. She noticed also “a whole mess” of controls and gauges, up to the ceiling. The UFO was in flight at this time. She could see a man (of normal type) bending over C.W. She also observed a “pedestal” chair, and a box with lines going across it, on which, as on a TV, she saw “a baby crying, a war, people in the jungle with knives” and other scenes, for about 10 minutes.

Within 10 minutes, a cloud of white mist came up to the pier; her companion had fallen asleep. Then she remembered nothing more nothing more until she came to herself some hours later, on the pier, with a hot pain in her side. They sat in the car until 0300A, when something unseen began to hit and shake the car; they then drove away. The next day her side hurt worse, and she had a fever. A small red welt was visible at the site of the pain, which went away after 2 more days. Under hypnosis she remembered that both of them had been taken aboard a UFO, but that her friend had been asleep. She fond herself sitting in a chair facing a wall covered with “view screen type of things” with an operator seated at it, back to her. A man came down the hall and took her to a “council room” with a U-shaped table, at which sat 7 humanoids of different types. She was made to sit inside the U, and a black box was rolled in and set next to her. This machine started “telling everything about her” (not vocally) and displayed pictures of her on a screen. The leader then told her that she was “coming along real well” and that they were going to do one more thing to her before releasing her. Another black box was brought in, and she was laid on a table. She could see on a screen an X-ray view of her body. A small object like a buckshot was then inserted in her side, without pain; she was told that this “implant” was intended to create “better communications and power”, and would be “activated” in 3 or 4 weeks. Then the man was brought in, and she was put to sleep.

The witness, hearing neighborhood dogs barking and howling, looked out her picture window and saw nothing unusual, but the hair stood up on the back of her neck. Looking to the left, she saw by the full moon’s light, 100 ft away, a small figure, about the size of a 10-year old child, dressed in a close fitting one-piece snowsuit of silvery color. The suit had a hood over the head, with lumps at the ears, a dark belt at the waist, and dark boots. The witness felt convinced that the being was feminine. The face was visible and seemed not to be abnormal, as well as could be told at that distance. The witness felt paralyzed, and could not call for her daughter to come and see. She had a mental impression of the words “No fear” repeated 3 times. After perhaps 25 minutes, the figure turned on it heel and walked off into the woods. The witness returned to the house about 10 minutes later, and she told her husband to go out and look for footprints in the freshly fallen snow. He found a set of small footprints leading away from the spot into the woods, but none leading up to it.

Leonard Hegele, a 29-year old student, spotted a 7-foot tall humanoid with 3-foot wide shoulders walking about ¼ mile form the highway. It was walking in a non-human manner. The witness stopped his car and ran toward the being. When he got to within 700-800 feet, the creature turned about to face him; Hegele ran back to his car. While he was chasing the creature, Hegele also saw a gray, oval shaped object hovering in the air about ½ mile from the highway. It hovered at only 10 ft from the ground, but periodically rose and dropped another 15 ft.

Three schoolteachers were traveling north on Old Pleasanton Road in separate cars when they saw two large winged creatures in flight. They all pulled to the side of the road, and they all got out to obtain a better view of the creatures. One of the creatures landed in a nearby field, and the other kept flying southward, and then it turned and started coming back. Suddenly the one on the ground flapped its wings a couple of times and they both flew south. Their wingspan was estimated to have been 15 to 17 feet. They were mostly black and brown in color. One of the witnesses said the “birds” resembled prehistoric flying creatures, notable the pteranodon. One of the witnesses stated that the creatures glided and did not really fly and their wings were bony and leathery.

A group of five school children from Manuera were playing on a hill when they saw a UFO descend and land in a nearby field. The object was surmounted by a transparent cupola and appeared metallic, and 8 to 10 meters wide. Then an entity emerged from the object; he was tall, more than two meters, and wore a black coverall that covered him from head to foot. His head appeared small in proportion to its body. He took a few steps into the barley field and then returned to the object, walking normally but as if his feet were especially heavy. As one child tried to get closer, a bright light flashed from the object, frightening him. The object departed, leaving traces at the landing site; very large footprints were also found at the site, being more than 40 cm in length.

The witness had gone out on her patio to do some laundry when she looked up and saw a large object hovering nearby. It was described as cigar shaped with numerous windows and blue and white lights. It was totally silent. Inside the object she was able to see two short humanoids and two human like beings. The humanoids were four-foot tall with large heads, large dark brown eyes, two holes for a nose and a slit like mouth. They wore silver metallic gowns with rolled collars and cuffs. The two humans wore normal clothing and one of them, a female, appeared to be in a trance. As the object hovered tilting from side to side, the witness was able to clearly see two of the compartments. One had white Formica like tops with multi-colored buttons with what appeared to be hieroglyphics like symbols; leather back chairs were also visible. The two humanoids appeared to glide into one compartment and grab the female human under her arms and lift her up. As the witness yelled for her son the object suddenly rose in a jerking motion and disappeared over a nearby water tower.

Two soldiers driving along some railroad tracks in a swampy area noticed a white flash of “lighting” about 40 meters away and then a strange blue luminosity and small reddish flashes of light appear. The light dims as the witnesses approach to see 2 humanoids about 90cm in height, they are unable to see their faces as a result of the light. The humanoids are wearing boots and grayish overalls. They appear to be very busy along the tracks, cutting grass and taking small plants. They seemed surprised by the soldier’s vehicle headlights. At first they stand still but then disappear into the bushes. 3 minutes later another bright light is seen and an oval-shaped UFO, red and blue in color about 30 minutes in diameter goes up vertically, very slowly at first emitting a slight whistling and air turbulence. At 40 meters in height it moves horizontally and then flies at very high speed towards the southeast. The witness felt very cold and afraid during the encounter and smell an ozone-like odor. Broken branches and ground traces were found on the scene.

The witness and his now ex-wife were sleeping in their apartment at the Casagmo Apartment complex with the large sliding window partly open. A loud buzzing sound woke the witness. He covered his head with a pillow but soon realized that the buzzing seemed to be coming from inside his head. He went to the window and saw what he thought were 3 electrical company employees at the far side of the parking lot (about 100 feet from the witness). He thought they were electrical linesmen because they had their backs to him and appeared to be wearing very shiny hard hats that looked like chrome. Each was dressed oddly, appearing to be wearing dark “wet suits”. Each looked to have on mittens and the witness only saw a “thumb” and what looked like a mitten like glove. Each of the individuals looked to be 5 ft tall or less. Quietly he pointed out to his wife the strange scene in the parking lot. The three figures were clearly visible because they were illuminated by an overhead light source. One of the individuals was looking up into the tree line, another was looking very intently at the ground and the third was looking around almost as if keeping a watch. The witness continued standing at the window, behind a very large potted philodendron plant that they kept in the bedroom. The three figures suddenly turned as if they were given a command (right face) and faced directly at the window where the witness was standing. The witness was surprised since he had not made any noise and had not turned on any lights; he felt immediately uncomfortable and crouched down behind the plant. As the individuals turned toward him, it appeared that one of them had a reflective stripe running down his pant leg. The helmets were no longer visible from the front (only slightly around the perimeter of their heads, somehow resembling ancient Egyptian headdresses). They had unusually large reflective goggles over their eyes (or unusually large reflective eyes). He asked his wife to take a look; she got out of bed and came to the window. The three individuals then turned to their right again (all at the same moment). They all then walked as if they were in a strobe light. Two went out of the witness field of vision and one simply “disappeared” from the open parking lot. The overhead light and buzzing sound disappeared at the moment the last figure disappeared. His wife described the figures as walking as in “slow motion” and she was also perplexed as to what had occurred to the third individual. The witness checked the parking lot area the next morning but found no marks or traces. Around the same time there had been numerous UFO reports from Danbury Connecticut to Katonah New York. The main witness had a hypnotic regression performed on him in 1981, which he recalled being outside his apartment and the humanoids looking at him from up close.

Location. Hummingbird Ranch, Simi Valley, California
Date: March 1976
Time: late evening
There was a report that several motorists and at least two police officers saw an object coming from the southwest over the Simi Valley Freeway and going northwest, it appeared to crash at what was termed the Hummingbird Ranch just north of Simi Valley Freeway at Kuehner Avenue at the off ramp coming westward into Simi Valley. Later that night the witness was driving and had just come off the Simi Valley Freeway southeast of the freeway. She made a full stop at the Kuehner avenue sign, and paused a moment. Suddenly at her right she saw a hand with elongated fingers on her passenger side window and then a gnome like man’s head popped up. He was beating on the windowpane frantically, and was frightful in appearance. He had an extremely long neck and appeared to be bald, very aged and wrinkled and tiny, gnome like. The witness panicked and gunned the car and raced home. Later accompanied by her son and others she went back to the area. Two armed soldiers that aimed their guns at them stopped them at the entrance of the Hummingbird Ranch. They noticed many lights in the area and numerous military personnel. They were then told very harshly to turn around and leave the area immediately. The witness family, suffered from police persecution afterwards and the son died mysteriously under police custody. Eventually the surviving alien occupant that had escaped from the crash scene was captured by the military and taken to Edwards AFB for research and interrogation. Two other gray type alien entities were apparently discovered dead or unconscious onboard of the craft found with an opened hatchway. The disk was about 50 ft in diameter, appearing like tarnished silver, about 15 to 18 ft thick, encircled by what looked like mostly rectangular windows on top. There was a groove around the disk about 4ft from the edge all the way around. On the bottom section it had several structures resembling vents or louvers. The disk had insignias on the underside and on the top, described as a “Trilateral insignia”, the typical alien flag of the grays, shaped like a triangle crossed by 3 horizontal lines. At night the military moved the disk to the surface hangar at North Edwards AFB at Haystack Butte. In the morning it was taken to the main Edwards facility. This hangar was guarded by special “Delta” force teams. Because the disk was totally undamaged and operational the military succeeded in flying it at the Groom Lake base over Nevada from 1977-1978, escorted by helicopters and also in the 80’s and 90’s. Gary Schultz photographed the disk during one of the test flights in the presence of his wife on Wednesday February 28 1990 at about 2100. The surviving alien was eventually moved to an underground area at Haystack Butte laboratory and imprisoned in a special electro magnetically secured chamber, with 3ft thick walls consisting of numerous levels of wires, similar in design to previous YY-2 versions. This was done in order to prevent the being from sending telepathic impulses to his alien group that could possibly rescue him from captivity. The creature apparently died in captivity after some period of imprisonment and all attempts to interrogate it and to extract information were done. The 2 other dead aliens were sent by aircraft to Wright Patterson for autopsy.

Francesco Ojeda, 12, was walking through the woods on his way home from school when, in a clearing, he came upon a shiny circular object about 40 ft in diameter, resting upon a metallic platform. 2 persons in shiny suits, less than 5 ft tall, stood beside the machine, apparently making repairs. When they saw the boy they leaped into the UFO through an open port, which closed after them; then a device on top of the saucer rotated and flashed an intense light at the boy, blinding him. He fell to the ground, semi conscious. He hazily remembered being taken inside the object, where the occupants stripped him and placed him on a table under a huge amber light. “In his head” he heard a voice assuring him that no harm was intended, and adding, “we are coming here in great numbers to visit your planet.” Some time later, guided by his dog, his parents found Francesco in the woods a mile from the house, crying and wandering aimlessly; he was blind and all of his skin was reddened as if from sunburn. The next morning he recovered his sight, and told what happened to him.

A woman went to her back doorstep to call in the children; she looked up and saw an object moving slowly at treetop level “a few thousand feet away.” Her husband came out and saw it; it had a translucent dome on top and gold lights around its periphery. Above the dome a deep red light was flashing, and there were holes in the bottom out of which a blue light shone. He estimated it as 80 ft in diameter. It descended among trees in a swampy area near their home. They watched it for 2 hr, until 2130. The man and two sons then got into their van and drove to a point nearer the object. They noticed an unnatural silence, but cold not get a good view. When they returned to the house, the wife was missing. After searching the house, they returned to the living room; suddenly the woman showed up, her speech slow and slurred; she claimed she had been in the bedroom. At 2330, the couple went to bed; at about 0045 they woke up, finding that they had somehow exchanged positions in bed. Both felt nauseated. The back door of the house was found open. The next day an investigator visited them and discovered 3 wedge shaped holes in the ground and broken tree branches, where a UFO had evidently landed near the house. A few days later the couple vaguely remembered being taken onboard a spacecraft during the hour before they woke up. The husband clearly recalled “being in a galley area where they were eating. An extraterrestrial was sitting there with his head on his hand looking up at me as if saying, “What are you doing here?” This being had wrinkled whitish gray skin, high cheekbones, a high forehead, and eyes that were 3-4 times as large as human eyes; he was bald. He was looking at the man with an expression of “disdain.” Under hypnosis the wife remembered much more. One kind about 4 ft tall; a second class “the doers”, about 5.5.5 ft tall; a 3rd type, 6.6 ft tall, with huge eyes, with a pupil resembling that of a cat, with some type of covering over it, when the eyes were smaller they were speckled yellow-green, when they grew large they turned yellow. The couple said the beings communicated with them by telepathy, and that they think “their minds have been probed by extraterrestrials since the March incident.”

He wore a tight fitting, shiny but dark outfit, with rolls or bulges from the waist to the neck, similar to the Michelin Man. It appeared to be dark blue in color, extending over the head in a tight hood. No features could be observed. The figure held his arms close to his side, and did not move his legs as he moved along, but appeared as if floating just over the surface of the shoulder, a cloud of dust could be seen directly below him. As the couple passed the figure, the car lights dimmed to the point where they were almost extinguished. Right before seeing the strange entity, the couple had seen a bright oval shaped area of light hovering on the side of the road, a few hundred meters before they encountered the figure.

The main witness, 21-year old Ben and two friends were on a four day leave from the Army at Fort Polk Louisiana. At the time Ben had broken a leg, which was in a cast. He had been given light duty “because he was against the military”. Ben and a black friend named “JJ” were in the back of a pickup truck while two other men rode in the front of the truck. At about sundown, the two men saw in the sky a gold-colored cylindrical object that appeared suddenly from space at the 2oclock position. The object which appeared to have motors on the back, seemed to stop in midair and then moved north to south. Ben nudged JJ and asked whether he knew what the object was, but the latter responded that he had never seen anything like it. Then the object came down close to them and hovered above them. The next thing they knew they were being awakened eight or ten hours later in Wichita at a truck stop. The men in the front of the truck said they had stopped before and tried to awaken Ben and JJ but they could not be roused. Ben said that there were no liquor or drugs being used, so that was not the reason for their heavy sleep. Both men had the impression that they had just left a spaceship. For a time the two men could “see each other’s thoughts”. Later they were picked up again by the same truck and taken back to Ft Polk where they met Timothy an African American friend, who came running out to meet them. Timothy said, “I have to tell you something about Friday night”. I lay down on the bed and woke up about 0500 or 0600 in the morning and saw you guys on a spaceship way out in orbit.” The other two were astonished but felt they were being “guided” to do something, so they sat down and recorded their experience on tape. They felt they were programmed to “do something against the military”. Three months later all three men were “undesirably” discharged from the military.

Suddenly the headlights picked up two “Mario” head posts carved out of wood right in front of the vehicle, these started to bleed what appeared to be real blood from the eyes, ears and nose (?). They looked to their left and saw what appeared to be two phones booths with a pine tree directly on top of them. The pine tree suddenly disappeared in plain sight and they saw a little “boy” run across in front of them looking and smiling at them. Confused the witnesses looked to their left at the general store and heard what appeared to be old time music coming from inside, which looked like a big hall. At the back of the building there were large windows all around it. They could not see anybody dancing but could see the floor inside. They now both believed that the “store” was really some kind of ship. The music was still playing when suddenly about 16 human like beings seemed to float down from the stair straight towards the witnesses. As they got closer they witnesses noticed that the beings had powder white skin, with red very deep set eyes. Some of the beings were young and some were old. The beings approached the vehicle and put out the palm of their right hand in an attempt to calm the witnesses.

On Easter week at Prat Airport, a well to do couple, their infant daughter and the child’s nanny were getting ready to take a flight that would take them to the island of Mallorca for a brief holiday stay. After parking the family vehicle, the husband left his family in a waiting area while he went to the Iberia ticket counter to secure the boarding passes. Upon returning to the waiting area, he found his wife but no trace of the nanny or the two-year old daughter. The wife indicated that she had not seen the nanny, leave at any moment, and had assumed she had gone to the restroom with the child. Time passed and the restrooms were searched without result. At that point, airport security was notified and the nanny was repeatedly paged over the PA system. The airport was then shutdown, and the control tower ordered all departing flights to remain on the ground while the police searched the terminal. At a given point, a humble old woman approached the distraught mother, and gently advised her to pray for the return of her daughter. Before the grief stricken mother could react, two amazing things happened simultaneously, the elderly woman vanished into the encircling crowd of onlookers, and the mother realized that the nanny, holding the child, was sitting right next to her. In a mixture of joy and anger the mother asked the nanny where she had gone all this time. The confused nanny replied that she had been sitting there all along. (!) When an effort was made to take the baby girl from the nanny’s arms, the child appeared to be physically stuck to the nanny. After a prolonged struggle, the husband literally tore his daughter from the nanny’s arms, noticing that the part of the nanny’s arms that had remained concealed had acquired an unnatural shade of red. The situation back to normal the family boarded the flight to Mallorca. Onboard, the nanny erupted into hysterics midway through the crossing, having to be restrained by flight attendants until they arrived at Son San Juan Airport. The family then decided to return home in Barcelona, and placed the nanny in a private hospital, heavily sedated. A clinical hypnotist Francisco Rovatti later hypnotized the nanny in an effort to recover her memories from the time she was apparently missing from this “plane.” The sessions only revealed that the nanny had heard “an unpleasant-sounding male voice” summoning her as she sat next to her employers at the airport. She also remembered seeing a red light on the floor. Efforts to go beyond that point caused the nanny to erupt into hysterics.

He appeared to be from 60 to 65 years of age, with black dyed hair very short hair, combed back. His eyebrows lengthened at a peak towards the face with a line on the base of the eyelids and then angling upwards. The eyelids appeared very “metallic”. His nose was coarse and he had thin and dark lips. He wore clothing resembling the style from the 50’s but it appeared brand new. It was walking near the Berri de Montigny station. It walked in a bizarre, “contracted” way, with its arms firmly stuck to his body, his fingers also stuck to one another. His walk resembled that of a robot, it moved in very small stiff steps and at a rather slow pace.

Rancher Luis Barroso Fernandes had just finished rounding up his prized animals and was returning back to the farm on his burro when after about 3 km from the farm he began hearing a loud buzzing sound similar to the ones made by giant bees. Looking around he did not see anything and continued on his journey. Suddenly a bright ball of light of about 3 meters in diameter flew over the witness. The craft slowly descended towards the ground in front of him. It resembled a huge tractor tire or a giant turtle. Afraid, his burro reared back while at the same time a bright beam of light from the object illuminated them both instantly paralyzing them. At that point a door on the object opened and two figures became visible, one of them carried with him what appeared to be a flashlight, which he pointed at the witness, at this point a beam of light struck the witness on his face causing him to become unconscious. Two hours later he woke up feeling strong heat on his face and having some difficulty breathing along with a severe headache. Barroso’s health quickly deteriorated and his hair turned gray-white over night. His mental status became that of a 2 year old and almost 15 years after the encounter he had wasted away and died in bed.

During a period of heavy UFO activity and mysterious cattle mutilations in the area a 16-year old local youth was looking out his second story window, which provided a good view of the pasture to the east side of the house when he saw a tall, hairy creature walking in the pasture, coming from the south. He said the creature was taking long strides and his arms moved back and forth as a person’s would. The creature did not appear to have a neck but it was capable of turning its head and it appeared to be looking around. Except for its face, it was covered entirely with brown or black hair about an inch to an inch a half long. They youth was unable to describe the face, but said the forehead protruded out then upward to a rounded head. The nose looked pushed in. He didn’t notice any ears. When the creature moved, it walked very smoothly without stooping and id not appear to bend its knees much. The creature’s back seemed to go straight down to below the buttocks, without any curve at the small of the back. The youth estimated the creature’s height at eight feet. As the boy watched the creature kept walking until it was directly east of the house, at which time a second hairy creature joined it. The second one was about a head shorter than the first, but just as wide and the color was the same. At this point the larger creature reached down and picked up something dark colored, “about the size of a bale of hay.” Something was flapping from the ends of the object, which looked similar to a piece of dark plastic. The larger creature handed the object to the smaller creature, which carried it. The larger hairy creature then started walking straight toward the house. When it was within 100 feet of the house, it looked directly toward the window where the boy was watching. The boy vaulted downstairs to wake his father and the two returned to the window in not more than two minutes, but when they looked out the strange creatures were gone. Later on strange tracks were found on the pasture. They boy was extremely shaken after the encounter. (I included this case because it seems to deviate from your “routine” Bigfoot sighting report).

Inside the craft, Fidel was able to see numerous multi-colored lights, monitors and other unidentified apparatus. The craft was topped with a crystal dome and inside several very tall human like figures could be seen moving about. The witness then saw three huge man-like figures suddenly appear behind the object, not to far from his location. The humanoids were over 2 meters in height and wore tight fitting white outfits with belts and boots. They all had light colored shoulder length hair. Their faces were human-like with large almond shaped eyes. In an Indian file the humanoids walked to a nearby potato field where several pounds of potatoes were stacked high in pyramid style. After looking at the potatoes for a few seconds the beings then started at the witness. At this point he heard unintelligible words inside his head as if the humanoids were attempting to communicate telepathically. Seconds later the humanoids suddenly disappeared in plain sight. At the same time the object rose up emitting a steady buzzing sound. As the object disappeared into the distance several additional towns people arrived to see the object vanish into space.

He appeared to move without taking strides, gliding smoothly over the ground at a rather high speed. The children were unable to seen any legs. His body seemed to be surrounded by a “transparent light,” creating an effect similar to the head waves above a toaster. Frightened, the children ran to find their teacher who, upon returning to the scene, was unable to find any trace of the monster.

Mr. And Mrs F and their 4 children were traveling near Carman, which happened to be the center of a major UFO flap at the time. A deeply religious man, F was pondering some grave concerns as he drove. Something gave him the impression that they would see something and at approximately ¾ of a mile outside of Carman F noted “a small cloud appeared in the sky west of them, very bright and strange.” He drew his family’s attention to the cloud, and as he drove one of his children commented that the cloud appeared to have rainbow colored stripes. The cloud suddenly “opened up” with a noiseless explosion. F pulled the car off the road and all gazed upward. They claimed they could see a “big, colorful war” taking place, with armored horses running to battle in the west, and in the east “quite a few white angels, each surrounded by pillars of fire.” After a few minutes the tableau disappeared and they drove on. Soon the 10-year old son yelled out that there was a “big red dragon in the sky.” F stopped the car and saw a very bright, colorful funnel upside down over the car, two great big hands coming down underneath the car and felt as if were lifted up into the heavens. F claims that their bodies became weightless and he saw an angel-like figure above them. He saw bright colorful pillars of fire burning around them; they also saw several bright “stars” shooting by. His other children saw other images in the sky, a lion, a deer, an eagle, a witch, etc. (Religious vision?)

A retrieval team was sent to investigate. Divers found a disk shaped object, approximately 9-12 meters in diameter. The matter was immediately classified. Special equipment was delivered on place to pull the disk out from the ocean bottom. At night the craft was pulled out from the water. The joint US/Australian operation was possibly named project “Apotheosis”. Subsequently, again at night time, the craft was loaded upon a ship and moved to the USA across the Pacific to a base in California, from which the disk was transported to the S4 base in Nevada (Nellis Range). In 1987 Derek Hennessy saw the disc at the S4 facility bay # 6. The bodies of three dead aliens were found onboard. They were reportedly small with gray-greenish skins and with four fingered extremities.

An old bus filled with passengers was riding up an isolated and wooded mountain road at very low speed. Suddenly at a turn in the road the passengers watched about twenty short dwarf like beings emerge from the forest. The beings grabbed a hold of the back of the bus and would not let it move. Then some of them began pushing on one side of the bus, moving it back and forth very quickly until it overturned into a ditch. The terrified bus passengers scrambled out and watched the beings apparently laughing, obviously enjoying the spectacle. Suddenly as if obeying an unheard order the beings retreated into the forest and vanished.

The main witness and several others were camping out in the woods when they all awoke as someone appeared to be shining a floodlight on the tents. It was really bright and they were all feeling a bit dazed. The flap of the tent was pulled back from the outside and they all scrambled out. The light was so bright that they had to shield their eyes from it. He couldn’t see very well but someone took his hand and started leading him towards the woods. He wasn’t fully awake, but he wasn’t asleep, it felt very strange and he wasn’t afraid. He didn’t look at whoever was leading him by the hand but he remembered the hand being too thin, too pale and very cold to the touch. He also remembered seeing another camper being lead in the same way nearby. He doesn’t remember seeing whoever was guiding the other camper, just the camper being gently led through the forest. His next memory was of seeing a ramp, metal, leading up to a bright opening in a small black ship resting in a very small clearing. He didn’t really see the ship but he remembered that out of the opening streamed red light, an eerie blood red light that reflected off the polished silver of the ramp. His next memory was of lying on a hard table. He was naked and there were all these pale white faces looking down at him. They had black eyes and no noses, just nostrils. No hair and there seemed to be two different types of beings. There were 5 or 6 very short beings and one which seemed to be the same species but was much taller than the rest. They were all very thin with long fingers and oversized heads. He remembered becoming afraid and trying to kick and scream to get off the table but the smaller beings held him down. Then the taller one approached and bent down, bringing its face close to the witness’s. Then it spoke to the witness, telepathically. In his head the witness heard its voice which was feminine, it said, “Don’t be afraid this wont last long. I will protect you. You will be home soon.” Then “she” moved away and the shorter beings began strapping him down to the table. He couldn’t move or speak. They then shoved something up his nose and pushed it really far in. It hurt a lot and the witness remembered a distinct crunching noise from inside his head. They repeated the procedure with the other nostril. His next memory was of being in a small room with metal walls and a very small door. There were a few of the other campers there but they appeared to be asleep. It smelled like sulfur or rotten eggs and it made the witness queasy. Another screaming camper was lying face down on a platform sticking out of the curved walls. The ceiling was arched and was very low. The witness who was only 10 years of age almost touches the ceiling with his head. The camp counselor is there also, crunched up into a ball on the floor near the small door. He was shivering and would not talk to the witness. After that he remembers being led out the ship by one of the small beings. It led him back to the tent and actually pushed him through the flap. The other campers were right behind him. A voice then said in his head, “Go back to sleep, you are tired, you need to sleep”. They all went back to sleep except for one camper who began to scream.

While her brothers and sisters went out fruit picking, 10-year old Karen stayed behind in a wood. During the walk to the wood she watched a bright rainbow-colored light in the sky, although any connection with what was shortly to take place is unproven. Having entered the wood, Karen walked down familiar until she came to a clearing well known to her. The area was strangely silent. All bird and animal noises had stopped. The only sound that echoed through the wood came from the dry leaves crunching beneath her feet. Suddenly, she saw ahead of her a group of little figures, four in all, and she, confronted by this strange group, was unable to move. She was, “frozen to the spot.” The entities started to come towards her and as they did so she could see that not only their eyes, but also more remarkably, their skin was colored blue. They were small, smaller even than 10-year old Karen, probably not even reaching her shoulder. And then she felt hands touching her, cold and slimy. An enormous light appeared from nowhere and the next thing that Karen can picture is lying on a big circular table, which had the appearance of hard metal, but felt soft around her, almost as if it had been molded to the contours of her body. Entities surrounded her, reassuring her everything was all right. Not a word, though, was spoken. These beings looked human, but also she caught sight of taller entities whose bodies were incredibly thin, like stick insects. She believes that the small entities she first encountered may have been working for these taller aliens. The place was dark, but she remembered a light shining from somewhere. Drops were put into her eyes which paralyzed her them for a while. Karen recalls a “contraption like a machine” covering her from head to toe and going into her mouth. It may have examined her nostrils as well. Eventually, Karen was returned to the spot where her mysterious journey had begun. Dazed and shaken, she headed for home. When she walked in, she received another shock. Over eight hours had passed since she had gone on the picnic. Her frantic parents had been on the point of calling the police.

They tried the door and it opened to a room with some sort of control panels or computers filled with flashing lights. Seated in front of two of these panels were two “gray” type creatures. They had huge heads, large slanted black eyes, deep black, were about the size of a child and very thin and spindly. They turned from what they were doing and seemed surprised to see them, they kind of flinched. Then from the left and the right of the room came two robot-like creatures. They were tall, they seemed huge, and silver almost like they were wearing a suit because it was wrinkled around the waist, small black eyes and no mouths were visible. They grabbed the two boys with crab-like claws, very long. Both boys do not remember anything else and woke up in their bedrooms later.

As the witness watched mesmerized a lighted area became visible and within the lighted area he saw a man, who appeared to be attentively examining the ground. At this point his wife attempted to approach but her body became heavy “like lead” and she was unable to move a muscle. While his mother in law stayed in the vehicle in apparent indifference. He described the man as having curly black hair, southern European type facial features, and dark complexioned with a very sharp and defined nose. The object had been sharply inclined to the right when it simultaneously shut off the light and rapidly collected speed and flew away into the distance. Curiously after the incident the car that the witness had driven that day went on operating for 120 thousand km without any repairs.

Local farmers reported seeing a metallic disc-shaped object descend from the sky and land in one of the cooperative farms, near the beekeeper area. Several figures described as human-like, but very thin, almost emaciated left the object and approached the awestruck beekeeper. The men wore tight-fitting gray jumpsuits and had yellowish skin. One of the humanoids wrote a note (in Russian) to the beekeeper requesting a beehive, since they explained it was important to their “navigation” research, since these insects had a unique sense of direction. The peasant, completely unable to understand the situation knelt down at the stranger’s feet and said, ‘I greet you brothers in behalf of the entire humanity and the workers of the village.” The strangers explained to the beekeeper (Vasily) that they came from a civilization that did not recognized social statuses or differences between men. Eventually other villagers arrived and the aliens agreed in exchange for food staples to repair some of the broken farm machinery including the apiary milk separator. They had one request from the villagers, to let them use their wheat fields for their own research purposes. Soon “pictogram” like formations began appearing in the surrounding wheat-fields. The aliens further explained that they were part of an expeditionary group from the Crab Nebula region of space and were involved in a topographic study of the Milky Way Galaxy. Most of the communication between the aliens and the peasants was via telepathy or in written notes.

The creature stood about 70 feet away. They described it as about 5-½ ft tall to 6 ft tall, it had large eyes that did not glow or produce any color, a large head and no visible neck. It had wings that were either folded or attached to the front itself. There were visible feathers and the skin looked liked weathered human looking skin with dark or dirty spots on it.

Thinking they might be rescuers looking for him, he went to them, but found 15-20 men, women and children “dressed in Indian or gypsy clothing,” who talked in low whispers; he could not understand anything they said. They set up camp and made him move to another campsite for the night. The next morning they were gone. Rescuers found Lusignan 4 days later.

It was totally silent but all the trees were shaking like they were being buffeted by a strong wind. After a few minutes a beam of light landed right next to the witness on the road and he heard a voice in his head telling him to walk right into the light, terrified he ran into the woods, he heard another voice that told him that he was in no danger and that it was alright if he did not walk into the light.

Dr. Francisco Julio Padron, a physician, was being driven to Galdar, on Grand Canary Island, when he and his chauffeur saw a spherical object “about the size of a 3-story building” 60 yards off the road. It was of grayish blue color, but transparent—we could see the stars through it.” Near the center of the sphere were 2 figures well over 6 ft tall, who were either red in color or dressed in bright red; they had human faces with large eyes, and their heads gave off a glow. They wore cloth like helmets hiding their ears. On the ends of their arms they had “wing-like appendages that they moved slowly, like hands.” The car’s radio went out, and the witnesses felt an intense cold. Then the object began to rise, apparently growing larger as it did so. Many other witnesses, including 3 astronomers at the observatory, saw the object take off; it approached the observatory, then made a sharp 90-degree turn and took off “like a streak of light.” Onions in the field over which the UFO hovered were found later to have been “cooked” as if by burning.

Paulo Coutinho, 18, failed to return home after attending a night school class. The next morning a friend of his brought to his parents Paulo’s schoolbooks and notebooks, which he had found scattered on the street at about midnight. Police inquiries failed to find him. By evening, many people had gathered at the Coutinho home. Suddenly the boy’s father Jose Alves felt a conviction that his son was all right and would return; also, that he should go to the back of his garden to find traces of him. He did not do this, but went to reassure the family members; then groans were heard, and on opening the back garden door, Paulo was discovered lying on the steps, in a semi conscious condition. He was cold, as if he had been there some time. He was later revived at a nearby hospital. The police officer that carried him to the ambulance later felt a strong “irritation” of his body, especially the arms. Ballpoint pens in the boy’s pockets were found to be strongly radioactive. At about 1930 that evening a neighbor woman, Virginia, standing on her front porch, had observed hovering very close to the roof of the Coutinho house a strange luminous object which then moved away. Her daughter also saw it. According to Paulo Coutinho, all during the day of 23rd he had heard, off and on, a mysterious whistling sound. He had left his class at 2330, seen his girlfriend home, when he noticed in the sky a light moving westward, which he then saw was not an airplane. He felt a shudder, and found himself paralyzed and unable to utter a cry. The light approached him and descended, stopping 20-25 ft away, where it slowly “went out.” There then emerged a “very short” being with a big head and with large eyes and pointed ears, small mouth and an upturned nose “like a pig’s.” He was bald and had no eyebrows; he wore a tight one-piece suit of bluish gray color with an emblem on its chest; then he rose into the air (accompanied by the dwarf) “Everything was transparent.” He found himself above the ground, then saw a huge reddish colored cigar shaped object, perhaps 650 ft long, toward which he was moving. He color became metallic gray as he came nearer; then, with an attack of vertigo, he passed into it, apparently through a horizontal door. He found himself lying on the floor, in a dark gray circular area, with 3 beings standing watching him. He rose to his knees, then again felt paralyzed. He received a telepathic message tat they were not going to harm him. Then they turned and went toward a wall; he felt compelled to follow, still on his knees; the wall vanished, and they entered a larger room, in which were 6 more of the beings. Like the first one, it was devoid of furniture. There was no visible light source. They stopped, and he sat down on the floor, facing a sidewall. He now thought of his girlfriend, his school friend, and his parents; their moving images appeared on the wall before him, apparently doing what they were actually doing at the time. Angry, he asked the being what they wanted with him; they did not speak, but he understood telepathically that they would not harm him, and that “they wanted to discover how life arose in the universe.” Asking about 3 beings that were “different”, he learned that these were females. On inquiring about their reproduction, he learned that “on their planet there was no sex; children were produced in a laboratory, prepared for definite functions in their society.” When he expressed a wish to return home, one of the beings placed his hand on a projection on the wall and looked at one of the females, whereupon the wall disappeared, and there appeared a red-lighted corridor. Feeling himself called, the witness walked across the room; something like a bed came out of the wall, and he found himself in the air, then on the bed. One of the beings passed his hand over his body, “illuminating it wherever it passed.” Immediately thereafter, he rose into the air, and found that he was already leaving the object, again with an attack of dizziness. The he found himself lying down, hearing his parents and others talking but unable to speak. When he came to in the hospital, his whole body was numb and prickling.

As the stranger walked by the witness he did not raised his head and totally ignored Gutierrez as this one saluted him. Further down the field other family members now appeared and encountered the “old man” who also ignored them and continued on his way. After walking for about 30 meters there was a sudden loud noise, a cloud of dust seemed to rise around the stranger and covered him. As the dust dissipated he was nowhere in sight and there was no place for him to hide in the area. At the site where the stranger had vanished the witnesses found a 2-meter deep hole, but it was apparently empty. One of the younger members of the family was lowered down with a rope and did not see the old man but did see what appeared to be a tunnel that disappeared deep into a side of the hole.

The missile combat crew at a Minuteman II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Launch Facility belonging to SAC out of Ellsworth Air Force Base received alarms of possible tampering of launch facility and contacted security specialists topside to investigate. A two man alarm response team was dispatched and drove several miles to the launch facility. Written procedures for the security team to follow for all alarms was to stop within a quarter mile and conduct a visual recon. Before arriving within a quarter of a mile, the team reported a fiery orange red object over the launch facility. Following their checklist the team leader drove up the access road while the member followed on foot behind the vehicle for cover. They then observed a “classic gray alien” standing with a rod in one hand outside the fence line. Following their training the member immediately challenged the being with his M-16 rifle and the being pointed the rod at him emitting some type of discharge knocking him out. After this the being and object departed the area. Upon examination of the nuclear warhead by Air Force technicians it was discovered that the missile had been altered so it was not operational. This account was published almost word for word in the National Inquirer but drew little attention. During this same time period there were numerous reports of UFO flyovers and landings near northern tier military installations but South Dakota drew little attention because it was not considered a northern tier base like Minot Air Force Base North Dakota. In the early 80s a reporter from the Inquirer returned to follow up on this story with base personnel that may have had first hand knowledge of this incident. Air force personnel were told prior to the reporters arrival at the designated offices if they had heard or seen this UFO report they were to keep quiet.

A young boy was walking down a quiet deserted lane when he saw a glint of silver at a nearby field; he then went to take a closer look. On the field rested a silvery oblong shaped object on four tall metallic legs. It had a large round dome on top apparently made out of dozens of tiny square windows. There appeared to be some black writing on a silver rim. Six or five wires came out of the object and seemed to stick into the ground. Then six men walked around the object clumsily and somehow appeared to be in an angry mood. (?) They carried gun like objects, which had a blue button that would release a red beam of light when touched. The men were described as four-foot 10 inches tall, human like but with sparse hair sticking up. They wore silver tops with green pants. The men proceeded to strike some colored bulbs that were stuck on the ground at the end of the wires. At this moment a central ramp came down from the craft then a bizarre creature appeared, it was described as reptile like with a green body and a red neck. It appeared to have long floppy cheeks. It then went back into the object after one of the men growled at it. A human like figure now appeared inside the dome. He had a rosy complexion with abundant black hair and appeared to be wearing a white T-shirt, he seemed to be operating some controls, and he smiled then hid behind a wall and disappeared. The witness thought that everything looked smaller inside of the craft. Moments later the object left silently.

The witness hid behind the hedge and was able to see a narrow rim along the base of the object and a dull red box on top. There were three rectangular windows along the side of the object. Minutes later a five-foot five inch human like figure appeared from behind the object. The being was very thin with an angular body, he walked clumsily in a stiff manner, and his face was long, thin, and very pale. He also had very large round eyes, white in color with a pink dot in the middle. He only had a few sandy wisps of thin hair. The being wore a silvery one-piece suit and boots with thick black soles. On his head he wore a silvery helmet with a glass bubble on the front. He carried a gun like instrument, which he pointed to the ground several times, each time emitting a wavy red beam of light, which made cup size holes in the ground. At one point the being noticed the witness and briefly stared at her, she felt cold and dizzy at that point. The being disappeared behind the object and was not seen again. Another being now appeared, described as similar but shorter and possible a female. This being carried a knife like object attached to her side and seemed angry when she noticed the witness. The being then walked up a ramp into the object and disappeared. The red box on the top of the object began to pulsate and the witness ran from the area noticing the cigar shaped craft angle skywards and vanish into a low hanging cloud.

By exposed, the witnesses said that they could actually look into the craft, like a bay or something. Cathy recalls hearing a humming sound but David remembers a more vibrating sound. For years afterwards David would wake up in the middle of the night, bathed in a brilliant white light which filled his bedroom. He also found small amounts of blood on his pillow. Both did not remember the event until 5 years after it happened.

Two 14-year old girls, Sally Chapman and Barbara Perry, were camping out for the night not far from the church of Mawnan when they heard a hissing sound; then they saw, 20 yards away, a strange figure standing among the pine trees. “It was like a big owl with pointed ears, as big as a man. Its eyes were red & glowing.” Both girls thought it was someone dressed up trying to scare them, and laughed at it. Then it flew up in the air, and they could see that its feet were like black pincers. Its feathers were gray.

The witness was walking down the driveway of her home with her 9-year old granddaughter when she saw a dark lilac colored glowing round object hovering just above the ground. Orange flames were emitted from its edge. It was about 25 ft in diameter. Something impelled the witness to walk down the street and look down a side street, where she saw another object hanging low in the sky over a church, 75-100 ft away. This 2nd UFO had “no color, no lights, and a strange appendage in the back.” She watched the purplish object, which hurt her eyes, for 4-5 minutes. During this time, strangely, there were no cars on the street and no other persons around except her granddaughter, who did not observe the UFO. The next day she examined the site where the purplish object had been, and saw “a lot of brown oil” on the fence and bushes; the oil stains remained for months. The witness later remembered that she saw a man sitting at a table inside the purplish object; he was human looking, brown haired, and was watching a screen of some kind. She felt he was contacting her mentally, warning her not to tell anyone what she was seeing.

Two boys, Andy, and Joel Riygh, were playing in Gitchie Manitou State Park when they heard, “strange noises followed by a grunting sound and then a whistle.” They looked and saw a person at least 7 ft tall standing behind a bush about 70 ft away; part of his leg which was visible was covered with shiny blue material. When the noises became louder, they boys ran ¼ mile to their brothers Chris and Tom. All 4 then saw a pulsating glowing object about the size & shape of a large haystack emerge from behind a large tree about 50 yards away; it hovered with a humming sound for 5 seconds, then sped away. Small oak trees over which it hovered were later found defoliated.

At 0500A Manuel Linares was awakened by noises; he woke the others. All heard the heavy breathing again, together with a very loud squealing noise. 3 of the party looked out the window, and saw, standing by a tree in the garden, “something” bigger than the tree, unclear in outline, “as though wrapped up in a black blanket,” with two bright lights where the eyes would be. The witnesses got axes and machetes and went out into the garden, but the thing was gone. After this a terrific heat began to invade the chalet, together with a smell of sulfur.

A family driving on freeway 84 when they noticed what at first they described as “funny looking airplanes” north of their location. The father described the objects as three black triangular-shaped craft above the other side of the river gorge, heading their way. Suddenly their car engine quit working, including the dash lights, radio, CB, etc. He then coasted to the side of the road wondering what was going on. His next memory was of standing in front of the car wondering what he is doing there. His mother and kids were looking at him from inside of the vehicle with a confused look in their faces. He got back into the car and everything was now working fine. They were all dazed and disoriented and stopped in a diner at the next time. While the father sat down eating a hamburger the hair on the back of his neck stood up as if someone was behind him, he turned around and saw a man sitting two tables away, not eating but just staring at the family. The witness sensed danger. He stood up and walked over to the stranger, he was thin, with olive-brown skin, coal black hair, and beady eyes framed by bushy-black eyebrows and pointed chin. The stranger wore black shoes and suit, and a white shirt. The witness then asked the stranger, “May I help you with something?” He shot back crisply, “Where are you going”? Feeling very uneasy the witness answered “I am going to take the family down to Fossil and see the sights”. The stranger then replied in a low but distinct voice, “Do not go down there, things bigger than houses, come in over tops of the trees.” With that he stood up and went out the door. Stunned, the witness went back to his table and discussed the events of the day and it dawned on him how that somehow they were unable to account for three hours of time, and then the encounter with this weird stranger. Then they all saw him drive very slowly by the side glass door of the diner, in a very black highly polished utility truck, just staring at them as he passed by. Afraid the family drove quickly on highway 97 when suddenly a large black car passed them like if they were standing still, with the same face looking at them as he passed (the witness were driving at 65 mph). The strange black car was quickly out of sight. Everyone in the car became quite upset again. The witness then mashed the gas pedal up to 80mph attempting to leave the area, but again the strange black car with the stern face passed by them again. In a panic the family went looking for a place with other people around and drove towards Deschutes State Park just ahead, as they made a quick right turn, they saw standing on the side of the road the same strange man. They camped at the location overnight but never saw the stranger again. Their car never functioned correctly after the incident.

She then saw six to ten beings that appeared to be floating above the ground on a very slight incline. The figures were very small, grayish silver in color with very large heads, small mouths, and huge black eyes. They wore something resembling a long grayish garment. One of the beings came close to the witness, who sensed that it was a male. At this point the witness was terrified. Another being then approached and motioned to the other ones not to touch her, perhaps sensing her fear. The being eventually moved away and left.

Jan Siedlecki was working late at Brydon’s Garage and had walked a short distance to his home and retired to bed. Suddenly a brilliant white glow flooded the bedroom. Thinking that the garage might have caught fire, Jan jumped out of bed. What he saw was a strange craft, hovering about 10 to 15 feet off the ground, wobbling, as if trying to land. The craft was saucer shaped, of a glistening deep blue color. Jan stepped outside to investigate. He dashed across a road and hid behind a fence to watch the strange machine as it hovered above a large expanse of grass, about 75 yards away. The craft finally descended silently supported on several leg-like protrusions. A few seconds later, Jan observed a tube descend from the center of the object, which was a few feet wide, and which reached the ground. Although the entire object was dark, unusual glow was pouring from its underside. Suddenly the tube opened “like a book.” Two humanoid figures, approximately four ft tall, walked form the tube and stood in front of the object. Noticing Jan, they beckoned him to come closer. As he walked slowly towards them, he heard a conversation taking place, but could not understand the language. The figures were wearing one-piece suits of a yellow-orange color, and a kind of helmet with a darkened visor over the face area. They wore mittens on their hands, and some kind of boots or shoes, which appeared to be integral to the suit. He also noticed a panel with a series of square shaped “switches” and circular buttons on the chest of each humanoid. When the humanoids began adjusting these, Jan was surprised to hear them speak recognizably. “We are in trouble with ship, we will have to make repairs before we leave,” they said. “We apologize for the intrusion. As soon as repaired, we go.” The tone of the voices sounded “tinny,” like a little boy speaking. Jan was invited inside the lift and he watched the doors silently close and the tube moved rapidly upwards. As he bent down to walk under the hull, which was about 5 ft off the ground, he noticed two rows of what looked like small rotor blades rotating very slowly. The doors opened out into a metal cabin. Standing on a shiny surface, he immediately became aware of a smell of “rotting grass.” The two humanoids led him up a sloping ramp that spiraled around what he took to be the ship’s inner perimeter, then into a room. Around the edge of this room lay a two-foot-wide channel of flowing water, with some kind of green grass, about two feet high, growing out of it. He asked, “How fast does the ship fly?” “B13” came the cryptic reply. Then another door opened. Peering into the semi light compartment, he noticed in a far corner, four or five crouched figures, with their heads in between their hands and knees. Unlike the other two humanoids, they were dressed in black one-piece suits, with no helmets, and had brown hair. The figures were gathered beside a circular pool containing a black, bubbling, oil-like substance, from which flashes of red light darted into the air. The light inside the ship was constant; an unusual yellowish orange light coming from all the panels. There were no windows or visible openings. Then a football-sized ball of orange light darted around the room in stops and starts. At this point he heard many footsteps, as if there was panic. One of the men then very politely informed Jan that he would have to leave, explaining that they had a “space-bug.” Jan was ushered down the spiraling staircase and into the tube. When Jan was inside the man said, “When you get out, run!” The door opened and Jan ran quickly to his former position behind the fence. Staring at the craft he suddenly heard a loud, high-pitched whistling sound. The tripods and the tube lifted inside the object, the whistling intensified, and then the object shot away at an angle of 45 degrees into the sky. He saw red fire pouring out from its underside.

Three young children were playing on a waste ground just off Longford Road West near an old railway line. They were around a hut which had been constructed for them by a neighbor. The girl, Susan, was tired and thirsty so she went into the hut to make herself and the boys some orange drinks. The boys remained outside playing by some bushes. Suddenly the boys saw a flash of silver pass before their eyes, and heard a crackling noise coming from the direction of the bush. Looking in the direction they saw a strange figure emerge from within the bush. He was wearing a silvery one-piece suit, seemed human in appearance but had a short gray beard and long yellowish hair. The boys stood aghast because he was floating about six inches off the ground. The figure was only visible for a few seconds, and then it just vanished. John, one of the boys, said, “It was like a light-bulb being switched off, one minute he was there, the next he was gone.” Meanwhile Susan was in the shed totally unaware of all this. As she completed the drinks she heard a strange rustling sound. Looking up out of the window she found herself staring face to face with a strange man who was not more than a few feet away. He was behind the boys, so out of their immediate sight, for they were still looking towards the bush. Susan did not know this man, so she stared back at him. Then he looked away from her and took a small hand shovel from the belt he wore around his waist. He proceeded to stoop down and dig up small bits of soil, pouring each shovel full into a see-through kind of plastic bag. There were several of these out around his waistband. By now she was getting frightened, as she had no idea who this man was, or what he was doing—and he did look a little odd. So she yelled out instinctively to the boys. As soon as she did this the man vanished into thin air. When the boys turned around he was not to be seen. In height he was similar to Susan and John’s father (five feet nine inches). His complexion was very pale, and his eyes were long and narrow and slanted a bit “like a cat’s”. The silvery suit was like a track suit and seemed to be elastic at the bottom. There were four or five buttons running down the middle of the chest at the top. The hands were covered with silvery gloves and the footwear consisted of boots with thick black soles on them. Unafraid, the children decided to look to see if they could find him again. They walked forward a few yards towards the fence surrounding the school and they saw that in a few moments spotted him again. He was stooped down by the fence, seemingly collecting more samples. He seemed unaware of the children, and continued for a few moments this time although they remained some yards away. Then he disappeared again, only this time John and Susan said he seemed to “go down into the ground and just vanish”. The children now walked towards the spot where he had been and saw an object rising slowly from the ground, apparently within the playground of the school. It was a medium-sized object shaped like a gently curved disc with a more or less flat bottom. It was silver but had four dark holes (windows?) at the top in a row, and a couple of dark blotches on the bottom in the middle. It rose slowly and then moved horizontally heading South South East to disappear in the direction of Tennyson Road, still quite low.

The 12-year old witness and a friend were riding on a Honda minibike on a dirt-road adjacent to the Wind River Indian Reservation. It occurred to the main witness that he had never been on this particular road and had never heard of anyone mention it being in the area. They had gone at least 2 or 3 miles along the dirt-bike when the motor on the minibike suddenly died. Due to the way it quit the first thing they checked was to see if the spark plug wire was connected, to their consternation the spark plug appeared to be fine. As the two young witnesses were scratching their heads they suddenly felt the scariest sensation they had ever experienced, they felt sheer terror as the hair all over their body stood up on end. At the same time they both looked up and saw what they were certain was pure evil. They were looking at a “man” dressed all in black, with a black cowboy hat on, riding a black horse, with all black gear. No face was visible at all. If it were a human with a cowboy hat on, even with the shadow from the hat, some detail would have been visible, but there was none on his face, clothing, the horse, nothing. He was approximately 50 feet from the witnesses, and was heading directly toward the witness through the sagebrush. The witness noted that the sagebrush all around this area grows to 2.5 to 3 ft high is very thick, and people and people and animals need to jump over it, or go around it. The horse was somehow walking directly through it. After staring in total shock for several seconds at this entity, they wordlessly spun the minibike around, and one of them jumped on it and began kicking the starter pedal as if their “lives” depended on it. The witness was somehow convinced that his life did. Thankfully after several kicks the minibike fired up. They both jumped on it and got out of there as quickly as possible. After many minutes of this breakneck getaway, during which we never once looked back, the main witness no longer had the feeling of impending doom, and they slowed to a gradual stop to catch their breath. They had been stopped for less than a minute when the feeling of dread returned, stronger than ever. Simultaneously, slowly, they both looked back over their right shoulders, and there was the man in black in exactly the same position he when they saw him last. It was as if they had been looking at a movie screen, and the film had stopped when they had looked away, and started again when they had looked back, even though they were more than a mile down the road from where they saw the strange entity. Needless to say they turned the throttle on high and didn’t slow down or look back or lose the feeling of evil until we had the main road in sight.

Some young males were driving in their truck in an isolated area, and were passing alongside a swamp. Out of the swamp ascended a classic domed disc UFO. It rose slowly, but disappeared at high speed. On the surface of the swamp water beneath it, there seemed to be yellow, foam like substance in a roughly circular pattern. They decided to go home, get their wader boots and come back. Which they did, taking only about fifteen minutes to do so. The foam was gone, but they waded in anyway. Near the center of where they guessed the UFO had been they found a sealed plastic bag. Inside you could see what looked like a mummified hand (four fingers and a thumb). For some reason this brought to mind the legend of the Monkey’s Paw sort of a talisman of evil or bad fortune. They took the bag back to their truck and decided to go home. The truck started but then, with terrible gasping noises stalled and would not go. Their radio began going on and off. They immediately accused the Monkey’s Paw of these difficulties, and threw the bag away. Upon which, the truck started up without problems, and they drove off.

A ten-year old boy, Lorenzo Alvarez Vazquez, reported seeing two small “extraterrestrial” beings, about 1.20 or 1.30 meters high, in the Bilbao suburb of Bulla. They had green eyes and noses and wore silvery clothing. They said nothing, but shone a light on the boy, as they stood near a motorcycle. He watched them for 5 minutes, and then went to get local residents who, returning to the spot, saw nothing, although the boy said he could still see one of the entities. One of the residents pointed a gun in the direction indicated by the boy, who then announced the “spaceman” had taken refuge behind a car.

After 3 successive nights in which cattle where mysteriously killed and mutilated in a feed lot, 2 cowhands were on the watch that night when they saw 3 “human like figures” go over the feedlot fence. The figures didn’t move like humans, but seemed to glide. They called police, who arrived within 6 minutes, but the “figures” were not to be found. Although the ground was muddy, no footprints were found near the fence, and no mud upon it.

Freddy Chiasson, 52, his wife Claire and their two sons Morris & Rony were driving across Gaspesian Park in a thick fog, heading toward Matane, when a beam of red light coming from the sky struck the road in front of their car. In spite of the fog, this beam had very sharp edges, and formed a circle 6” in diameter where it impinged on the road. It paced the car, always at the same distance ahead, for several miles, then broke up into several “sections” which shut up into one another, like a collapsible telescope, and rose back upwards (coherent light?). The witnesses then saw to their left a dazzling white light, which the witness estimated to be half a mile away; this light approached them and stopped over the road, some distance ahead of them. Mr. Chiasson stopped the car. They then felt a very strong sensation of heat, and the car’s headlights and radio went out. Then the motor died, and the witness could not re-start it. They could smell a peculiar “acid” odor that irritated the nose. They gout out of the car and walked through the fog toward the fuzzy, intense light ahead. They found that it came from a round, scallop shell shaped object, wider than the road, resting on legs. It was about 40 ft, wide, and 15 ft high, made of a dull metal, and with square circumferential windows 3 ft. square, out of which the light was pouring. About 4 of these were visible. They could hear a dull sound, like wood rubbing on wood, in regular intervals. They approached the windows, whose light diminished as they came nearer; then the wife gave a scream, and pointed to one of the windows, which seemed to be made out of a soft material, in it he could see, as if through water, a massive face with big, round fixed eyes. The sight made him feel like vomiting. All four ran back to the car, which still could not be started. After a few minutes, the 2 youths again walked through the thinning fog toward the object, followed by their father. When they had got to within 10 paces of it, and could see that the light inside it had gone out, 2 rays of blue-green light, of oval cross section and not expanding as they went, appeared, coming from behind the UFO toward the witnesses. Mr. Chiasson felt sick, his eyes watered, and he vomited. Then the light rays went out, and they saw two beings standing, off, as it seemed to Mr. Chiasson, floating, beside the object. They were about 7 ft. tall, bald, and appeared very ugly to the witnesses; they filled him with feelings of terror and rage. They wore khaki brown uniforms, “like a police officer, but closer fitting” and were holding one end of tubes about a yard long, whose other ends rested on the road. The beings were stocky, with wide shoulders, which were “too high” and round bodies. Their square chinned, straw yellow faces had big, round eyes without eyelids and thick red lips; neither Mr. Chiasson nor his sons observed their noses or ears, and they may have had none. They stood still, but turned their heads as if examining the witnesses. After some minutes of confrontation, the 3 witnesses fled back to the car, where Mr. Chiasson vomited again. Then there was a burst of insupportable light in front of them; followed by a wave of unbearable heat that made them all crouch down in the car. This got worse, then gradually passed off. When they got up they could see that there was nothing ahead of them; the fog had practically dissipated. The car could be started. At the place where the UFO had been, there was a slight luminous vapor. For about 10 hours afterwards, all suffered from intense itching.

He stepped outside and saw a black rectangular shaped object apparently hovering about 50cm from the ground. The object was on a nearby clearing. It had what appeared to be a small antenna on top. The witness approached the object and suddenly saw coming from the direction of the woods three thin silhouettes. They had long dangling arms and were about 1.20m in height. The figures moved towards the object and disappeared inside through an open door. At the same time the witness began having difficulty moving and experienced a headache. A bright green violet light then appeared on the bottom of the object and it disappeared from sight. Ground traces were reportedly found.

Cicilio H Pereira was walking home with Anita & Geralda, two older neighbors of his. They were on an isolated dirt road and were waling down a hill past some charcoal ovens near the road, when they spotted a bright light in the sky. The light soon came straight towards them at high speed, getting closer and closer. All three began running, but Cicilio did not get very far because one of the sandals he was wearing tore its strap. He stopped and the women kept running. Suddenly the huge bright saucer shaped object was on top of him. Cicilio screamed in terror as the object rose up then descended down over him again. He felt a terrible cold wind and rose up a little bit into the air. He also heard a slight humming sound. There was also a smell of sulfur in the air and he was able to see two or three small men inside the object. Suddenly the object disappeared. He ran the rest of the way home, feeling confused, scared, and nauseated. He saw the little men briefly as a door of some kind opened and closed quickly. He became extremely ill after the incident, became bedridden and eventually died.

44-year old Francisco Tejero, his wife Teresa Lacave and friends Jose Valles and his wife Pilar Osborne Domecq were on holiday at the local Hotel Da Balaia and had gone into the hotel bar for something to eat. There they saw two men and a woman who were engaged in a discussion and at the same time seemed to be watching the witness’s party most intently. The two men were short in stature, “with European features but very dark.” They seemed to be somewhere between 40 and 50 years old, and yet they were far too white haired for such an age. Suddenly a couple of strange flashes came from the direction of this mysterious trio, like the flashes of a camera, and although they observed no camera, the two Spanish couples had the firm impression that somebody had just photographed them, no doubt with the aid of some micro-camera concealed in a cigarette lighter or something of the sort. Moreover the presence of the mysterious trio caused the two couples to feel an indescribable sort of malaise—so much so indeed that they rapidly finished their drinks and left the bar, and went to have dinner. Their rooms were on the top floor of the hotel. Later that night Teresa awoke with a start, and to her great astonishment, she observed that, on the curtains of the window (which was opened on this extremely hot night) there was a very vivid luminous rectangle, “like a TV screen.” She immediately thought of the strange “spies” in the bar, who had seemed to photograph them the evening before, and her next thought was that maybe the ‘spies” had entered the bedroom and were going to rob them or do them some kind of mischief. She turned and shook her husband vigorously. Her husband quickly jumped out of bed and went to the window. In his account he says: “It was as though I was in some sort of trance, as if I had been hypnotized by someone. Outside, all was utterly, infinitely peaceful.” He was moving around like an automaton as though he had somehow been turned into a robot. He looked out the window and saw a quadrangular thing, with six reddish lights on it, on the on the hotel, but on another wing of it which made an angle with the main face on which their window lay. All was dark underneath the “thing”, and nothing was to be seen. He remained there motionless for a while gazing at the “attic” not without a certain feeling of irritation because one of the lights was being directed in such a special fashion right into their bedroom. He then turned around and went back to sleep. In the morning they were astonished to find out that there was no other wing of the hotel running out at an angle. There was no building or structure of any kind whatsoever there. Simply, there was no “attic.”

A motorist noticed a break in a local radio transmission. The engine of his vehicle started to miss while the headlights flickered and dimmed. Engine and lights returned to normal almost immediately. A flickering blue light was seen, illuminating the treetops and a figure was noticed moving towards the car. The witness reported that he became aware of some form of communication and understood that the figure was a robot. The witness alleged that a gadolinium ingot package was taken from the car by the robot, which seemed to float along in spite of the weight of the package. The witness followed and came to an object standing in a clearing. The object was about 40 ft in diameter, supported on three legs and with light coming from underneath. Within about 300 ft of the object the witness felt his hair stirring and noted a low humming noise. After ten minutes the being reappeared and the package was placed on the ground. The humming sound and light increased and the object took off, hovering and swaying slightly before it accelerated towards the north disappearing in a few seconds. The witness continued his journey and delivered the package for air shipment. He was later informed that the magnetic properties of the gadolinium were unusual and on analysis a depletion of the highest isotope was found.

Two young boys were playing with their dog in a rural ranch area when the dog suddenly began to bark uncontrollably, they then see coming from behind a nearby shack a strange robot like creature that began walking rapidly away without turning its head. The frightened children now ran behind a wire fence and hedge, soon one of them heard a strange noise behind him and saw a black sphere about 3 foot in diameter pass by rolling at high speed on the ground disappearing into the brush. By now the robot like being had kept walking away stiffly until it was lost from sight in the brush. The being was described, as about five-foot six inches tall, wearing a tight fitting red top and black pants, the skin on his arms appeared green and scaly. The boys were not able to see the eyes or nose but the being’s mouth was normal and he had frizzy blond hair. He wore a large white collar around his neck that seemed to prevent the head from moving and his arms were kept straight at his sides during the whole encounter. The dog never attempted to approach the being but appeared exhausted and nervous after the incident.

The 10-year old witness and some other members of his family lived near to Vanderberg AFB and late one afternoon he looked into the western sky and became aware of an aircraft that looked just like a glider—cigar-shaped with long narrow wings, a vertical tail fin, ailerons, and a white blinking light at the bottom of it. The craft was flying across the top of the western mountain range. Suddenly it quickly moved south over and probably beyond Santa Barbara in a matter of seconds. They all became intrigued (at this point more witnesses had arrived) as they watched it further. It turned east, looped around and began coming closer to the ground right between their house and the neighbor’s house in a large subdivision. It was painted black—like a stealth craft of today. It was so close they could have thrown a stone at it, but it made no sound at all—it was completely defying gravity. It seemed to know that it was being watched and picked the witnesses out. The witness looked up and saw a pilot who was dressed in black and wearing a black helmet and gloves. There was an orange-pink glow that seemed to come from the instrument gauges and was glinting off his helmet and gloves. The pilot looked over at the witnesses and then looked back down at his gauges and then turned to wave at them as the craft started to slowly move away gaining speed as it moved. After the sighting the witness was surprised that the sun had already set, as more time had passed than it had seemed. Only his younger sister remembers the incident today.

Dean Anderson and Wayne Schutte both noticed a “craft” coming in; then Anderson riding a mower, saw by its headlights a figure on the golf course, running. Anderson chased him on the mower. He saw the man’s helmet light up and his belt start glowing reddish; then it glowed green, yellow, pink, and orange, while the antenna on his helmet flashed bright red. Anderson was now within 10 ft of him, and could see that he was 7 ft tall and had a long nose. Then a beam shot down in front of the mower, stopping it, then the figure turned around and looked at the witness, seconds later a small “scout ship” descended and opened a door 3 ft by 3 ft, inside which lights could be seen flashing on a panel. The figure floated into this doorway, “the craft glowed bright blue, red, and orange then took off.” The footprints of the man were 20 inches long, 8” wide, and 5 ft apart.

Dean Anderson was cutting grass on a golf course when he saw a large orange craft drop down into a culvert behind the road. Anderson stopped his mower. Two figures emerged from a door in the craft and floated down to the ground on a “band of light.” The craft then took off. Both figures carried flashlights 3 ft long. They came up to the witness and the man extended his hand, which the witness shook. He said, “We come in peace. I am Sunar from Jupiter. This is Treena; she comes from Saturn.” The witness shook Treena’s hand while Sunar explained that they were here on a scientific mission, gathering specimens. Treena took off her space suit and appeared in a close fitting light green one-piece suit; the top was of “some glistening metallic material,” but the pants were dull. She wore slippers. Her skin was light tan, her eyes blue gray, and she had shoulder length hair. She was 5’2” tall. Sunar did most of the talking; he had copper colored skin, and said he was over 200 years old. The witness was told that the man he had chased on the previous encounter was Muton, from Mars, and that Sunar had once met Baha’u”llah, the founder of the Baha’i religion. After about 20 minutes of conversation, Treena put her space suit back on and gave Anderson an envelope of yellow nylon cloth, which she asked him not to open for 9 Earth days. The spacecraft came in and the two Ufonauts ascended to it on a beam of light. The craft was “30 ft wide at the bottom and 60 ft high.” As soon as the light allowed, the witness photographed the footprints of Treena and Sunar in the dirt. Later upon opening the envelope, the witness found a gold colored engraved amulet inside.

The 10-year old witness got up to go to the bathroom; looking out the window, he saw a deep orange luminous globe shaped object blinking on and off and slowly zigzagging in the sky. He watched it for 10-15 minutes, feeling a “pull” from it. Then as it blinked, he suddenly found himself inside it, where 2 “green beings” sat with arms over a table with little black knobs,” manipulating the knobs, and a third stood in front of the boy; the being was about an inch taller than the boy. The beings had no eyes, nose, mouth, or neck; instead of fingers they had pincers like a crayfish. They had two small projections on the top of their heads. Their legs did not end in feet; when they walked it sounded ‘like a wooded legged pirate.” The skin on their cheeks and arms was bumpy, like an alligator, and there were scales on their bodies. They did not utter words, but “hummed like Morse code.” After about 5 seconds the boy found himself back in the house, and ran upstairs. Later that same night, about 0500A, his 11-year old sister awoke and saw a blue light outside her window.

He saw what appeared to be a star-map on a wall. Onboard the craft he met human-like occupants of different statures. Some were over 2 meters tall, others much shorter than that. The women were generally shorter than the men; they were described as beautiful and well built, wearing form-fitting outfits, which seemed metallic in texture. He traveled onboard the “spacecraft” basically a short distance and did not go to another planet. He was shown a guest room where he slept comfortably. Later he was given 4 “crackers” to eat and a small glass of a substance resembling wine. He was told that what he ate would last for four days. Among many things the humanoids said was that they believed “in a higher being” and that the concept of God was a very personal one.

As one of the men shone a flashlight at the object, it began approaching the canoe slowly. A tube shaped beam of light was emitted from the object and hit the water. The object and the beam of light began approaching the four men and all began to paddle frantically as they tried to get away. At this point they all lost all conscious memory of what happened next. Later under hypnosis all four men remembered being taken up from their canoe and into the hovering object via the hollow tube like beam of light. Inside they encountered several short dark gray colored humanoids with large oval shaped heads and huge black almond shaped eyes, all wore metallic uniforms and were described as somewhat insect like. The men were made to undress and sit on a plastic like bench. The humanoids then looked into each of the men’s eyes and mouths with a pencil size rod with a light on its tip.

In July and August, there had been a number of previous UFO-like sightings (luminous objects at night) in this very small hamlet, the most notable being on August 10, when 7 or 8 witnesses observed a large vertical yellow-luminous rectangle in the air, apparently a few hundred yards away. About 4 more luminous squares appeared in its lower part, like lighted windows in a building; then, turning orange then red, it gradually faded away, terminating in a very powerful flash of light. The next day a ground trace (a 10 ft square of crushed stubble, with imprints in the earth at its corners) was found on a field over which the appearance might have been; those who approached this marking too closely soon suffered a painful sensation of “heavy legs.” Thereafter, moving red luminous balls were repeatedly seen by night, and noises were heard at night and even (in the adjacent wood) “howling” and loud metallic noises by day. A woman, who had seen both the luminous rectangle and, on several occasions the red spheres, had borrowed a camera to photograph them. About 0030A, a red sphere was seen approaching by the woman and two other witnesses who were outside at the time. When it had got “fairly close,” the witness took two exposures form some seconds, and the witnesses could see there several silhouetted figures running, or walking very fast, and carrying in their hands powerful lights, like torches. They seemed to be of normal stature. Then darkness returned. In the weeks that followed, nearly all the witnesses of UFOs at this place fell ill (of various ailments) and one died.

Philippe Chinarro had just left his uncle’s farmhouse, which was located in an isolated area surrounded by vineyards. As he walked out into the road he felt a presence around him, he then walked towards a track that led to the vineyards as if looking for something. There he saw a huge luminous white light that did not illuminate its surroundings; its light seemed to be confined to a certain area on the hovering object. The craft was about 50 meters away from the witness, hovering near a wall that encased part of the vineyard. At the bottom of the craft suddenly appeared an intensely luminous rectangular area, which seemed to be composed of solid “coherent” light, it measured about 15 meters in length and about 7-8 meters in width. Suddenly out of the light a very dark human silhouette emerged, it was very tall and had long dangling arms ending in three digits. It seemed to turn and stare at the witness. At this point a smaller silhouette, which the witness estimated it as being the size of an infant also emerged from the light, this one also, seemed to look towards the witness. The witness feeling afraid and very curious at the same time decided to approach the object and figures. But as he attempted to move his body and muscles did not respond and he remained completely immobile. At this point he heard a soft masculine voice inside his head, the voice told him not to approach, that it was not “the right moment”, the witness then felt a chill run through his body. At that point the witness seemingly and clearly understood the message and decided to move away, which he did, as he was suddenly able to move again. He left the area and did not look back. Strangely he forgot about the incident for three days, when he suddenly remembered all the details.

Reliable witnesses, including an x-KGB and a Soviet Air Force man confirmed the crash of an 11-13 in diameter disc-shaped craft. The craft was apparently damaged from inside with the outer hull almost intact except for the broken transparent dome on top. 3 heavily mutilated and burned bodies were taken from inside the object. Three chairs were reportedly inside; the rest was heavily damaged due to fire and explosion.

Michael J. Bailen, 58, awoke from sleeping on his living room couch and found himself levitated off the couch and floated into the kitchen. As he passed the kitchen light switch he flipped it, but the light did not go on. He floated into the hallway, and there at the bottom of the steps stood a man dressed in black clothing, holding a 5-6” “gadget” which he was pointing at the witness. In his left hand he held another gadget, which he slipped onto the one in his right hand. He was short of stature, with sharp pointed features, dark olive skin, and black eyes. His eyes didn’t move like humans, but around. The witness floated past him and out the door, then lost consciousness. When he came to, he was standing in the driveway watching the man back his car out of the driveway. The man hollered out to him “Don’t dare follow me!” Then the witness noticed, standing to his left a dwarf “with a larger head than ours.” He lost consciousness again and came to standing on a hillside; “instead of the moon shining like ours, the light was coming from the sides.” Then he found himself on his couch. Unlike a dream, the experience remained vivid in his memory.

Willy Gehlen was driving home late at night decided to stop and sleep next to a farm gate. He locked all doors and fell asleep. Later he suddenly woke up shivering and found the rear hatch door opened, he closed it again, but the same thing happened later. Feeling uneasy he stayed awake. Almost an hour later he heard a strange humming sound and noticed a seven-foot tall figure standing behind the farm gate nearby. He shouted at the figure thinking that it was a farmer but got no reply. The figure shone a dark orange beam of light at the witness from a square shaped object on its chest. A minute later the figure disappeared. The witness then heard the humming sound again and saw a large object lift off the ground emitting a pink pulsating glow from underneath. It shot away at high speed.

One day while the witness was picking apples some distance from her home, she fell from her ladder seriously injuring one of her legs. As she lay there, too weak to move or call for help, she saw two figures approaching. One was tall and thin, the other was much shorter. As they neared, the witness saw that while they were humanoid in appearance, they were not humans. They had an unknown device with which they began to treat the witness’s badly bleeding leg. In 15 minutes all bleeding and pain subsided, leaving no trace of a scar. The beings then presented the witness with a metal plaque with some carvings or drawings on it. She thanked them and asked if they would like to go to her house for something to eat. One being replied that they did not eat, but consumed only “juice.” When she offered fruit juice, they said they did not drink the same kind of juice that humans drank. They were arresting in appearance and, according to the witness, when they spoke, their voice seemed to emanate from their midsections. The taller one had the voice of a mature woman; the shorter one, that of a child. The beings walked away and the witness returned home, with the plaque in her possession. The images on the plaque included pyramids and 6-pointed stars.

A family of three including a three-year old child was living in a large wooded tract of land bordered by a bayou when one day they saw a circular metallic object land on a nearby clearing. Several beings described as three to three ½ foot tall with spindly fingers and wrinkled skin emerged from the object. The three-year old ran towards the beings wanting to play with them, his parents stopped him. The beings then communicated with the parents telling them that they wanted to take the child because he was smart. The parents refused and the beings left.

The 14-year old witness, who is mentally challenged, reportedly was walking in a wooded area when he heard a loud buzzing sound over him that got louder and louder. Suddenly he was hit by a beam of light and felt himself rising up into the sky. He then found himself lying on a table surrounded by five to six humanoid figures, one apparently a female. The beings were described as about five-foot seven inches tall, with large heads, large blue eyes, and thin necks. They wore silvery outfits with silver boots and a belt with a star like emblem on the buckle area. The beings apparently communicated by using telepathy and among other things gave the witness some shots and showed him a “star map.” Suddenly he found himself back in his house. The witness reported negative health related after effects.

Suddenly, a blue beam of light flashes form the underside of one of the ships and a man with a back walks out of the beam. Somehow Caywood realizes that the man is himself as an adult (!). The older Caywood, smiling approaches the young Caywood and stands face to face with him. He tells him not to be afraid, that very soon he “will be involved in the greatest adventure of his life.” That he would someday help many, many people. He was told that one day when the time is right he will “wake up” and see all things clearly as if for the first time. He tells him to remember that he is loved. With that he turns and goes back into the beam and disappears. The ships leave, the winds pick up and the witness memory of the event ends at this point.

On his way to work one evening the witness spotted a light next to a deserted barn where he hadn’t seen one previously. There also seemed to be figures or “animals” or something on the ground under the light. After riding past this barn on his motorcycle, a low flying object suddenly flew overhead and disappeared behind a grove of trees. By the time he cleared the trees the object was nowhere to be seen. He looked back over his shoulder toward the barn and the light was no longer there, and he had never seen a light or “animals” at this location since.

The witness had gone to feed some sheep that he kept in a small shed in his property, when he saw a bright white light moving slowly and low over some nearby trees. The light suddenly reversed direction and descended on a field near some orange bushes and next to the city cemetery. The white light was extinguished only leaving a red blinking light on an apparent round dark object. The witness then became frightened when he saw a very tall, heavy set human like figure appear, and it was wearing a shiny black helmet and a silvery outfit. It took several steps with difficulty as if balancing itself. After ten minutes the figure vanished and the object became fiery orange in color shooting up at fantastic speed. Ground traces and animal reactions were reported.

The witness was alone at home when she heard a noise outside; looking out she could see an oval shaped object on the ground between two houses. Nearby were four or five small spheres. Standing in front of the object was a tall being dressed in what appeared to be body armor; it also wore a helmet with a protuberance in the center. She lost sight of the being momentarily and then was able to see the object take off at high speed.

The witness heard a very high-pitched whine, and looked out onto the tundra where a small (2-1/2-3 inches in diameter) white beach ball seemed to be moving in the air, close to the ground. After a while it tilted so that she could see that it was a disk with a rotating platinum-shiny area in the middle. The object arced upwards, then back down, and seemed to just disappear into the ground. As soon as it entered the ground, the sound stopped. On inspection, she found no ground marks or evidence where it had disappeared. Following this incident by about a month, the same witness and a little dog were on her porch facing the area of the sighting. She went inside for a couple of minutes and the dog wandered off. She immediately began to search for her, following tracks in the fresh snow, but she couldn’t find her. As she said, “It was snowing. And her little tracks went out there and she just disappeared…. she weighed maybe five pounds max. So possibly some owl or something could have gotten her. But there wasn’t you know any other disturbance in the snow.” Since these events the witness feels that she has had a few very unusual light-projecting experiences, which result in vivid dreams or out of body experiences. The content of the experiences is difficult to describe. She has the feeling of movement, and there were these enormously huge objects that were like suspended in space, that were all around her. And they were very bright shining. They were all different kinds of geometrical shapes and forms. But these were immense. She also had the feeling like being on an invisible corridor that she was moving down.

The witness was returning home after visiting his mother when he suddenly observed an approaching disc shaped object from the south. The object had a rotating lower half and a bright light on top which seemed to change colors. The object flew over the witness then came to a halt just ahead of him. The object projected from its base an intense beam of red light. Within this beam three small beings descended slowly to the ground. The three small humanoids took position across the road blocking the witness path. The object then glided over to a clump of nearby trees. As the witness continued to walk, the three small beings spread out their arms across the road in an obvious attempt to block him, at the same time speaking in an unknown language. The witness threw a knife at the beings but it seems to strike an invisible wall. The being in the middle then pointed a rod like device at the witness from which a beam of bluish white light emerged. The witness apparently blacked out and was found later on the ground by his neighbors. The beings were described as heavy set and man like, wearing tight gray coveralls and a globular helmet that covered their heads.

A 63-year old woman and an 18-year old friend were walking past a waste area when they saw a strange object on a mound of earth. Roughly oval in shape with a large glass like compartment in the center and a bright orange dome on top, it rested on metallic sledge like runners. It was 5 ft long and 3.5 ft high. As the witnesses approached it, they noted that the wind and the traffic on a nearby road both seemed to stop; they later found that their watches had stopped. One of the witnesses ran her and over the object; it was very smooth and felt warm. Suddenly two entities “the size of dolls” appeared beside it; they were humanoid with long white hair parted down from the middle, large eyes, and claw like fingers. Apparently frightened by the witnesses, they put both hands up to their faces. The witnesses are not sure what happened next; the next thing she remembers is that the object took off at great speed with a humming sound.

He appeared in the door of a basement room and walked for about 30 ft “in a strange, clumsy way, as if sliding on the ground,” then disappeared in thin air. No footprints were found. The being was 4-foot tall and of a “weak constitution,” he wore a black close fitting coverall. In the part covering the head were two oblique eye slits. No skin was visible. They had him in sight for about 20 seconds. The local police chief called the witnesses “serious and reliable people.”

Mr. Da Silva, a village shopkeeper in his late 30s, was walking home late at night when he saw a light several hundred meters away. The light went out and in a few seconds went on again, now right over him. It was a hemispherical UFO about 5 meters in diameter, yellowish luminescent with a violet or bluish band around the base, and with a hole at the center. The witness took refuge in the back door of his shop, and cried out to his wife and brother in law in the house some 40 meters away. The light of the UFO became so brilliant that he had to cover his eyes. As he began to run toward the house, he felt a blow and fell; looking up, he saw that 4 hooked rods now projected downwards from the central hole of the UFO. Down one of these hooks to the ground slid a humanoid being wearing a dark metallic coverall uniform and an opaque helmet; this humanoid, keeping his arms bent like a boxer, ran to the witness and bumped against him, pushing him towards the hooks. The witness grabbed the entity, which was small, and lifted him off the ground, but the UFO then caught him with its hooks. The humanoid freed himself, and climbed up the hooks back into the UFO. Da Silva, yelling, was pulled upwards until, by kicking at the UFOs edge, he was able to free himself. He fell down into a thicket of thorny plants. His brother in law came to the window of the house just in time to see the witness fall. He helped him to his feet, and both ran inside; the UFO continued to hover over the house for a while. The humanoid left one small footprint, which was soon obliterated by rain.

Leoncio Jara Torres and his wife Elena were driving in a truck near Carabaya when a UFO descended and landed about 100 feet away. It was 60 ft wide and 10 ft high, had 2 windows on the sides, and emitted a blinding luminosity. The truck’s motor stalled as the object came down. From it emerged two men 5’5” in height, who wore shiny clothing and walked with very short steps; both carried lamps of blinding intensity. These men walked up to the truck and slapped the witnesses on the shoulders with their hands. The hands were felt to be burning hot—“the heat went to our very bones”—but the witnesses remained as if hypnotized. After about a minute, the men walked back to their craft, which rose vertically. The witness and his wife were medically treated for an “intense nervousness,” but later found that the arthritis from which they both suffered was alleviated after the encounter. Traces were found at the landing site.

A man who said he was the vice president of the “New Jersey UFO Research Organization” and that he would like to talk to him about the Stephens case called Dr. Herbert Hopkins, the physician who conducted the hypnotic sessions with David Stephens, on the phone. Dr. Hopkins told him to come right up, and went to the back door to turn on the porch light. A man dressed in black was already coming up the porch steps; no one could have got to the house that quickly from any telephone, but this did not occur to the witness at the time. The man wore a derby hat, a black tie, a white shirt, and black clothing. This looked immaculate, as if just put on. He came in and sat down; when he removed his hat, Dr Hopkins could see that he was completely bald and had no eyebrows or eyelashes. His nose and ears were small and low-set; his head and face were of a dead white color, his lips vivid red. His mouth was a perfectly straight slit, which he hardly opened. He asked Dr Hopkins about the Stephens case, speaking in an expressionless monotone and not grouping his words into sentences or phrases. While Dr Hopkins was telling about the case, he put the back of a gray-gloved hand against his lips. The red color came off on the glove; he was wearing lipstick. This man did not at any time move his head with respect to his body. He then told Dr. Hopkins that he had two coins in his left pocket, which was true. He told him to take one of the coins and hold it in the palm of his hand; Dr Hopkins took a penny. This proceeded to turn silver in color, then light blue; then it became blurred, became round, and then faded away. Dr Hopkins asked him to make the coin return, but he replied; “Neither you nor anyone else on this plane will ever see that coin again.” He then told the witness, that Barney Hill died because he knew too much, and that he died “because he had no heart, just a you no longer have a coin.” He told him that he had tape recordings of the Stephens’s case and correspondence relating to the case, which the witness admitted was true. The man then ordered him to destroy the tapes and all other UFO information, or he would suffer the same fate as Barney Hill. He said he would know when this had been done. The witness noticed that his speech was slowing down. Slowly, and somewhat unsteadily, he got to his feet and said, very slowly, “My energy is running low—must go now—good bye.” He descended the porch steps one at a time and very slowly and unsteadily walked to the corner of the building. He was walking toward a hedge. A bright bluish light, from the driveway, was shining as he left. Dr Hopkins then out to watch the driveway, but the light was gone, and the man never came out. Later he and his eldest son found in the middle of the driveway “a series of marks that looked like a small caterpillar tractor tread”, 4” x 18.” The witness was so shaken by this visit that he burned the tapes and everything on UFOs he had.

Dorothy Yarbrough, 41, who had gone to bed in her trailer home, awoke to find herself sitting on the couch, with bright lights coming in the window. She took her shotgun and 3 shells and went to the back door. When she opened it, she saw the sky so fiery red that she thought the world must have been ending. Without conscious volition, she went back in, put the gun away, and walked out the front door, barefoot, with her head hanging down, and walked to an excavation site about 20 ft away. There she saw 2 “forms” standing beyond the excavation, and 7 or 8 more “forms” farther away, lined up by a fence who seemed to be “in confusion;” they were “jibber jabbering” to each other. These forms were very small (less than 4 ft0, with big heads and “swollen” cheeks. Above her head she could hear a sound like a helicopter, which was shedding a bright bluish white light, but she could not raise her head to look at it. She walked up, still without her own volition, toward the nearest “form”, which was surrounded by a mist. The last thing she remembered was seeing a white hand near her—a hand with something “wrong” about it. When she woke up in the morning in her bed, she found dirt on her feet, whose soles felt burned. For a week afterwards she felt weak and had a sore stomach, as well as a persistent headache that took nearly 2 weeks to wear off. But she found that she that she was no longer a “worrier,” as she had been before. She also had a better appetite, and temporarily gained about 60 pounds. Under hypnosis she remembered that the nearest “form” had big eyes, was dressed in dark form fitting clothing, and carried a shiny metal rod; his hand had 2 thumbs. He told her telepathically that they meant her no harm. She was led up a kind of rope ladder into a “round room”, laid on a table, and given a physical examination. Another person—a man, perhaps her husband—was wheeled into the room after this, while she was taken into a dome with blue lights revolving around it, then back down the ladder. The leader of the humanoids told her that she would begin to “see” things since then; she has made and recorded a number of predictions.

Dr. Simon Taylor and an Iranian friend, Reza, had gone for a hike in the mountains. When it began to get dark they decided to stay in one of the many climber’s cabins that were abundant in the area. The cabin was near a local shrine. That night only two other men had stayed in the cabin, a father, and son. Late that night Taylor and his friend both woke up gasping for air, as if there was no oxygen in the room. It was very hot and there was no sign of the father and son pair. Outside they could hear movements. Suddenly the cabin was rocked by a series of heavy, pounding thumps. Within seconds they both ran outside terror stricken. A few feet away stood three men. They were completely dressed in black and each carried a lantern like instrument. They all had large dark slanted eyes very lustrous. The men then began communicating with the two witnesses seemingly by using telepathy. It now became apparent that their mouths and noses were both covered. They told them not to be afraid, to pack their things and follow them. The witnesses collected their belongings and dressed, all the while the three dark clad men stood by the doorway looking at them. Taylor and Reza then followed the three men down a twisting path in the woods. After walking for a few hundred feet, they suddenly realized that they were no longer on the path but in some sort of room. Under their feet was a thick Persian rug. The room was oval shaped and was bathed in a soft light. The two witnesses were invited to sit cross-legged on the floor. A transparent “screen” took up the whole of one long wall. Both men could see branches of trees and past them, the distant lights of the city. The room began to shake and shudder and they were told not to be afraid. Both men gripped the carpet below them, as the room was swaying like a cable car going up a mountain. Both also felt tremendous pressure in their ears, one of the men attempted to reassure Taylor. They saw many places and distant locations, apparently going to different countries. Afterwards they were abruptly asked to leave. The witnesses then walked out of the room and were suddenly back in the wooded path. They then realized that they had been gone for five hours. (Three days later, occurred the classic UFO encounters above Tehran with an Imperial Iranian F-4 Phantom jet and a UFO. During the same time there were also reports of “aliens” landing in the holy city of Qum and of abductions in Mashhad.)

Time: late night
Don Rogers was driving along a deserted road with an unusual feeling of fear and of that of being watched. He drove into town and there was not a person to be seen in sight. He went to a nearby Mormon church but it was completely empty. As he left Richfield he heard a peculiar man’s voice in his head that said: “How would you like to go on AM? The last word was one that he had never heard of before. He understood the word to mean a spaceship or flying saucer. He replied in the positive. Then he looked up through the sunroof to see if he could see a ship. He thought about stopping but was terrified and continued on. He became disoriented and could only recall seeing darkness around him. He noticed that he was only going at 40 mph and shifted to third gear traveling on a road that he had no idea where it went. After driving for what seemed like hours, he finally arrived at Cary then continued on until he reached the next town, Arco. There he realized that he had somehow lost several hours of time. Soon at home he began to experience lucid dreams of somehow having being “kidnapped.” Soon he was able to recall that he had been lying on a small bed that was recessed into the wall. He was in a small room that was brightly lit from the ceiling, which was all white. There was a counter on the right end of the room and a door with no handles at the end. The room was completely bare. Suddenly the door slides open and a man appears, he is about six feet tall with reddish hair. Although no words were spoken, Rogers understood that he was to go with him on a tour. They went down a narrow hallway and turned right. The hallway was very dimly lit. However he did see another man who was a little shorter standing further down the hallway. This man gave Rogers a very disdainful look; he then walked down the hall and disappeared. He walked through some kind of control room, which was dark and was hard to see what was in there. It was shaped like a half circle approximately 20 feet across. There was a console that ran around most of the way of the room. There was a smaller curved console that was in the middle of the room. Both consoles had colored lights on them that seemed to be the only source of light. The height of the consoles seemed very short for normal people. The one image that affected Roger’s life more than any other from the experience was the energy source. It seems that the ship’s energy was stored in a metal sphere, a little larger than a yard in diameter. It was located on the edge of the “saucer” with two windows in it. They were shaped like rounded triangles. He looked through the windows and saw what appeared to be a sphere inside that was spinning at an incredible speed. It also appeared to be fluid and seemed to change shape slightly as he watched. He could only describe it as looking at spinning mercury. His next recollection was of being strapped in a reclined chair with his legs arms and head restrained. He hears a small whirr like a small motor and feels a needle poke him at the base of his skull. He understood that they wanted a small “sample”. The needle goes deeper into his skull and he experiences pain. His next recollection was of waking up at home screaming.

The witness was taking the air on his terrace when he noticed an internally illuminated “cabin” about 12 ft square and 6 ft high, stationary in the air about 600 ft away and at 300 ft altitude. Its light was of the color of incandescent lamp light. He watched it for about 7 minutes, during which executed a very slow trajectory, finally shooting away at great speed. It made no sound. He could see no structure around the “cabin.” Shadows moved within this “cabin,” seeming to be very busy.

Rodney Hedtke, 10, was going to bed in his second floor bedroom when he heard a tapping in the window, looking out, he saw a green colored being 3-3.5 ft tall crouching on the roof and tapping at the window. This humanoid had a huge baldhead with immense red eyes that seemed to rotate, no nose, a small lipless mouth, and long arms with small hands. It was apparently unclothed. The boy looked at this creature for nearly a minute; then it turned away, walked to the edge of the roof, and floated down to the ground. Looking back at Rodney, it went to a square gray object about 12 x 12 ft in size and 7 ft high, with red to orange pulsating lights on the corners and a yellow light inside. The being entered this craft by a ramp that rolled down from a hatch, it then began to glow red, and took off vertically without any sound. Rodney was “scared to death.” When his mother returned home 2 hours later, she found that the lights in the house were dim, and the TV did not work properly; she found that fuses had blown.

Only a few days after Dr Herbert Hopkins terrifying visit from an MIB—his daughter in law Maureen received a telephone call from a man who claimed to know her husband John, and who asked if he and a companion could come and visit them. John met the man at a local fast-food restaurant, and brought him home with his companion, a woman. Both appeared to be in their mid-thirties, and wore curiously old-fashioned clothes. The woman looked particularly odd; when she stood up, it seemed that there was something wrong with the way that her legs joined her hips. Both strangers walked with very short steps, leaning forward as though frightened of falling. They sat awkwardly on a sofa while the man asked a number of detailed personal questions. Did John and Maureen watch television much? What did they read? And what did they talk about? All the while, the man was pawing and fondling his female companion, asking John if this wall all right and whether he was doing it correctly. John left the room for a moment, and the man tried to persuade Maureen to sit next to him. He also asked her “how she was made”, and whether she had any nude photographs. Shortly afterwards, the woman stood up announced that she wanted to leave. The man also stood, but made no move to go. He was between the woman and the door, and it seemed that the only way she could get to the door was by walking in a straight line, directly through him. Finally the woman turned to John and asked: “Please move him; I can’t move him myself.” Then, suddenly, the man left, followed by the woman, both walking in straight lines. They did not even say goodbye.

A globular object emitting red-orange light—the point vehicle—the first visually acquired of three—was sitting geometrically/equidistantly at perfect center amidst the four stars of the pan of the Big Dipper and the pan was sitting notably flat just above the northern horizon. The pan sitting flat or parallel to the horizon occurs within a two minute window thus making it easy to note exact time using astronomical software. The main witness, Jeffrey Morgan Foss then sent a telepathic message that said, “Approach, I am not afraid.” The object immediately began a descent along a sloping downward trajectory straight for Foss. As the object approached, Phil Oxford and his friend, Bruce, were coming up behind Foss from the beach. They saw him holding up his arms in welcome and stood on each side of him in awe—Phil to his left and Bruce to his right. The object closed within 50 feet just across the road, was 30feet in the air and was as big as a two story house—or in size perspective, a basketball at one foot. It then stopped and immediately changed from glowing red to brilliant white. Suddenly there was an effect as if time had slowed. Then, after some time had a transpired, a Manchester Police officer emerged onto the beach, turned on his blues and bolted out of there in a hurry. At first, Foss didn’t think the officer did not see what was happening on either side of him in plain view but instead had caught sight of drunks further up the beach. But he drove past them and left the beach completely. Then the object receded backward along its original approach trajectory heading, stopped at a halfway point, elevated vertically to 4,000 ft, made a right angle turn and headed straight over their heads, aligned perfectly in between two other globes and the three objects moved away in an “I” formation toward the eastern sky and out of sight. He didn’t know it at the time, but there was some serious time missing that night which was later verified using astronomical software and hypnotic regression with investigator Joe Nyman. Foss remembers standing looking out through a curved window or screen at a star field. Though he tried visually to acquire land or ocean below, there was none. He had also been given a sleek and small unmarked silver canister of nitrox (?) as a worry stone which didn’t include a hose and mask. He remembers seeing himself looking down at it as well as through the eyes of the Gray that was off to his right and a little behind him. This memory was jarred loose thanks to the benefits of regression. At the close of the event there was an intense meteor shower which lasted for an hour and the baby at Kettle Cove was full of long silver fish jumping high out of the water by the thousands. According the Foss he reported the main part of the event to the police department.

Following an inexplicably urge the witness was taking a walk outside (something he rarely did in the morning) and was on Billinghurst street between Cangallo and Diaz Velez when he noticed a woman walking in the opposite direction toward him that greeted him by his surname as they crossed paths. Her facial expression was strange—aggressive and mocking. The woman was dressed in a black skirt and jacket, matching shoes and a black handbag in her right hand. She spoke with a local accent. She appeared not to be wearing any excessive makeup and her height was about 1.60mm, perhaps shorter. According to the witness there didn’t appear to be any other people around. The next day the witness ran into the same woman around the same location and as he readied himself to ask her about her strange behavior the previous day, she looked defiantly at him and asked, in the same tone, “What’s the matter?” Taken aback the witness did not confront her and watch as she continued walking normally until she reached Cangallo where she turned around to look at him from some 60 meters away, as if aware that the building’s porter and him were discussing her, if she was from the neighborhood or not. On that second encounter the witness felt a sensation of cold and panic as the strange woman walked by. According to the witness the woman’s eyes were shiny, “possessed”. They appeared to have a “golden sheen” filled with menace, malice and hatred. A couple of months later again in Billinghurst the witness saw the figure of a woman totally dressed in black that jumped in front of him falling to the ground, and yelling for help, stunned he realized that nobody else around had apparently seen the woman and kept walking, looking back he realized she had now disappeared.

Four men digging in a turquoise vein in the desert area suddenly noticed what appeared to be the desert floor moving across the sky. It came out of the western sky, and it was silent. The apparently camouflaged object then stopped at about a football field away from the witnesses, it then descended and landed. A ramp came down and two men dressed in normal leisure clothing, (shorts and t-shirts) walked down the ramp. Next two women and then 3 children. The men went back to the object and brought out something resembling a barbeque, the women took out something resembling a cooler, while the men brought out a table and some chairs that appeared metallic. The children brought out some toys while the women appeared to be bringing out some food. One of the men walked over the witnesses and asked what they were doing. The witness explained that they were searching for turquoise, and the man answered by saying that he would never understand human fascination with rocks, and then he walked away. Soon the group of “visitors” picked everything up, waved at the witnesses and left. (Bizarre as it seems there have been other similar reports from different locations.)

While, sleeping, the witness had a dream “as vivid as though it were a waking memory.” He was aware of being in a different place—a landscape of multi colored, limbless trees “like colored toothpicks.” No leaves or other growth was apparent. He was confronted by an entity 4-4 ½ feet tall, thin of built, with an oval head and sparse black hair. His skin was olive brown, and his eyes were large and dark, showing no whites. He had no apparent nose except for two nostrils, and very small ears, and a slit for a mouth that was only apparent when he opened it. He was dressed in a tight gray or brown-colored one-piece suit. The being told the witness telepathically not to be afraid, the witness asked if he was a police officer and was told that he was a “guardian” or “guide.” He pointed at the sky where two suns were seen; a third sun was not then visible. The witness was shown a book with thick pages showing pictures of large black spider-like animals, which, he was told, were “pets.” He asked if he could keep the book offering to pay; payment was declined and he was told with some humor that he could indeed have the book if he knew how to take it back with him. They were joined by a female being, (the guardian’s wife) and two adolescent sons. The woman told the witness that he was on a planet in the Alpha Centauri system, “five light years from earth.” The woman and her two children escorted the witness to their home in a vehicle “like a bucket that floated above the ground” at a moderate to fast speed. The house resembled an ice cream cone on its side; in whose small end were located energy sources, derived from the suns and from the atmosphere. He was shown the rest of the house and his questions were answered, and then he was asked if he was ready to return. He was taken back to the wooded locale where the guardian was waiting. The last thing he was told was that he would be welcomed back on his next visit, which they hoped would be a “physical” visit, “not just in your mind.” They appeared friendly, displaying “a sense of humor,” and the apparent purpose of the trip was to demonstrate the power of the mind.

The man, who had a mustache, wore a blue shirt and trousers made of a shiny material, a black “German type” hat with an emblem like crossed rifles, black boots, and a white tie.

Paul Bennett was playing with 5 friends near a Westfield Grove when he saw “a little black creature about two-foot tall” standing at the edge of the road. It then ran, with little short paces, across the road and up Westfield Grove. Its head was “squashed” like a tomato, and it had no feet or toes, its legs extending straight to their extremities; similarly, its thin arms lacked hands and fingers. There were no features visible, nor ears and hair. None of the other boys appeared to have seen it, and most of them made fun of Paul when he told them. One, Michael McDermott, did assist Paul in a search for some evidence of the little creature. They found a set of 30 small circular footprints leading from a puddle along the route taken by the being. McDermott claimed he heard a faint whistling sound and someone calling Bennett’s name, according to the witness.

Romeo Lucarelli was driving home from Hestroff to Hobling with his little daughter when he saw two lights ahead, which he took at first to be a car parked on top of a hill. As he approached, he recognized that it was a dumbbell shaped UFO about 50 ft long hovering in the air about 300 ft altitude. After he had passed by it, it began to follow him, and passed over the car so as to be in front of him. He made headlights signals, and then saw in the middle of the dumbbell a rectangular “screen” feebly lighted by orange light, in which 2 silhouettes appeared, as if looking at him. He came to the village and drove to his house; the UFO now hovered above his garage, and he pointed it out to his wife. She went to get binoculars, but just as he was about to use them the UFO “turned out its lights.” They heard a dull humming sound. At the spot which he had first seen it, three landing marks were found; each consisted of two tangential double circles of crushed grass, the outer ones about 3 ft greater in radius than the inner ones, and the whole about 50 ft wide.

When the cars stopped the drivers got out and stood “watching the craft make various maneuvers.” After the UFO sighting a person who claimed to be from the spaceship asked for a medical examination at the clinic of an eminent and respected Mexican doctor, 43. The doctor examined him and was shocked at his appearance. His skin was as white as milk, and apart from “black strands on his head” there was no hair on his body. ”He insisted that humans on this planet were very low on the scale of evolutionary development, and that we had yet to discover 3 more planets in our solar system.” It was reported that the UN’s Science and Technology office was investigating the case.

The two figures walked slowly towards the wall, the two boys could now see bright shiny eyes but no other facial features. One of the humanoids banged on the wall several times, and then both walked to the center of the yard. One of them then pulled out a long thin object from a sack on his side and pointed it at the wall, a long thin beam of light came out of the object and hit the wall several times, at one point the beam turned white. Moments later both figures walked back to their craft. The witnesses ran to tell their families and did not see the object depart.

They were driving along an unlit section of the road on a clear starry night when the passenger first saw the lights of the eight-foot tall luminous figure. He appeared to be balanced on the very edge of the curb. His large furry head seemed to project forward as he stood shoulders upright. The outline of his long thin body was spidery and hairy; it was green-gray in color. His clothes were a shabby gray fabric that hung very loose fitting, and they were covered with lines of embedded lights in both the limbs and trunk. The figure stood there with his hands reaching well below his knees. They noticed that each of his long upper limbs appeared to have two separate forearms on the end, almost like claws. The witness was extremely frightened by this, the effect of which caused him to duck down. He was quite unable to speak to the driver. The next day he missed work due to the after-effects of his shock.

She crossed a golf course near her property and entered a wooded area; at the edge of a clearing she discovered a bizarre scene; two men in white coats were apparently in the process of mutilating a horse that lay on the ground; two more men dressed in what seemed to be “Air Force” uniforms stood by watching, while two Air Force helicopters were seen on the ground; and also in attendance were what seemed to be the same two humanoids that the witness had encountered earlier. Frightened by what she saw, she turned and began to run away but she was apparently discovered, as she heard someone running after her for a brief while. Then she heard a helicopter, which quickly overtook her and began descending. A blue beam of light was directed upon her, producing serious burns in the area of her right breast and burning part of her clothing.

The main witness, 6 years old at the time, and his mother & aunts had gone on a picnic in this mountainous region. The group consisted of a total of 17 persons, mostly children. The mountain is called “El Chilarillo” and there is a legend that humanoid creatures that resembled women during the day and transformed themselves into “light beings” at night lived in the area, sometimes appearing as a glowing orange sphere. The legend states that these creatures called “Nahuales” were dangerous and are rumored to take children for unknown reasons. After sunset several of the children, including the main witness, noticed a strange orange “beach-ball” bouncing from tree to tree, and moving its way in their direction. Its movement was very fast and before they realized it, the sphere had come very close and at that point the children began to run, however the sphere followed them keeping itself only a few meters away from them, always behind them. The “chase” lasted around 20 minutes and there was no doubt that it was something real and “intelligent”. It finally stopped chasing the children once they reached the outskirts of town, the first streetlights which were now lit seemed to keep it from entering further into town. But before entering the town the main witness had gotten a very good look at the sphere, since it had been very close during the chase, apparently within the sphere he saw a person sitting in a fetal position, the same size as a human. The witness thought that it was very odd that it was glowing orange and had bounced around from tree to tree. The witness reported seeing the same thing again in 1989 along with many other witnesses.

The local sacristan, 77-year old Pedro Higuera Perez had climbed up the spiraling staircase of the town’s church tower. That night he had had some difficulty in falling asleep and had the uncanny feeling that he was not alone in the building. Once at the top of the stairs he noticed what appeared to be a dark form that appeared to be standing by the wall. Surprised he shone the flashlight on it and was stunned to see a bizarre humanoid of huge size that floated in a horizontal position a meter from the floor. The huge figure was wearing a dark flowing garment that had a glowing orange color stripe on the neck and upper trunk areas. Perez estimated the humanoid to have been at least 2.80 meters in height. It floated still with its arms held straight on its sides and its legs slightly bent. The being had a disproportionately small oval shaped head without any visible facial features. Terrified the witness dropped the flashlight and ran down the stairway. Out of the corner of his eye he was able to see the bizarre humanoid apparently dissolve into thin air.

Back in August 1976 a 9-year old girl named “Dirce” became ill and was diagnosed with infectious rheumatism. After examining her vision it was determined that she only had 9% of the normal vision. Photograph of the deep eye revealed an apparent degeneration of the macula. The night in question “Dirce” was taking food out for her dog in the backyard as she fed the dog she noticed standing in the backyard a dark figure about 2 meters in height, it seemed to be wearing a type of helmet and tight-fitting dark overalls. It had extremely dark eyes resembling holes; another hole occupied the place of the mouth. It seemed to be carrying a sort of “weapon” in his hand and walked slowly towards the young girl. He stopped about 1 meter from the witness, and then he pressed a button on his chest and in that instant the girl’s vision became every more cloudy. When she regained her vision she now clearly saw the being walking away into the darkness and disappearing from sight, it seemed to the young girl that her vision had somehow returned to normal. An eye doctor, Tadeu Cuintal confirmed that the girl’s vision had been inexplicably restored to normal. As of August 1982 her vision was still completely normal.

An engineer was driving with three other persons when they observed at a distance of 30 meters a landed object on 3 legs, flattish on the bottom and surmounted by a transparent cupola in which could be seen two torsos topped with large heads. They stopped the car to observe the object and felt a wave of heat upon the object’s arrival and departure. It hovered just above the ground, never quite touching down, and the three legs had rectangular footplates. The observation lasted no more than 5 minutes. At the site, the grass beneath the object had been beaten down or crushed over a diameter of 8 meters.

Jose Maria Trejo and Juan Carrizosa Lujan were on sentry duty when they heard a very loud, penetrating whistle that continued for 5 minutes, stopped, and then started again. As it stopped for the second time, they saw a light in the sky, “like a flare,” which lit up a wide area beneath it, in the direction of Badajoz. After 15-20 seconds this light vanished. A third sentry, Jose Hidalgo, joined them; accompanied by a guard dog, and they went to search the fuel stockpile area. They had gone about 1000 ft when they experienced a localized “whirlwind,” which alarmed them and caused them to load their rifles. Then, hearing a sound as of branches being broken in the direction of some nearby eucalyptus trees, they loosed the dog. He dashed off toward the trees, but after a few seconds staggered back, as though sick, and whimpering. 4 or 5 times they got the dog to go to the trees, but each time he came back in the same way. Then Trejo glimpsed a greenish light out of the corner of his eyes, and turning around, beheld a luminous humanoid figure at least 10 ft tall, only 50 ft away. The luminous figure seemed to consist entirely of small points of light—along its periphery; these luminous points were more intense. The small head seemed to be covered with a sort of helmet. The body was thick. The arms seemed to be crossed. Legs and feet could not be seen. Trejo tried to fire his rifle, but was unable to; he felt a sensation of weakness, and collapsed to the ground. The other two men, a little farther away, caught sight of the entity at this moment, and fired at it. Between them they fired 40-50 shots. At the moment the firing began, the apparition vanished. The other two men helped Trejo to his feet, and at this time all 3 heard the whistle again, from the direction of the eucalyptus trees; it lasted for 10-15 seconds, and then ceased. At dawn 50 men searched the area. They found nothing; in particular, they could not find a single cartridge case. Moreover, the adobe wall of the base, which was just behind the being, showed not a single bullet-pock. A few days after the incident, Trejo lost his vision, and then fell unconscious. Hospital tests showed nothing abnormal. About 2 weeks later he again lost his vision for about 15 minutes. He was hospitalized for a month and during that time suffered from severe headaches.

Joyce Bowles, 42, was driving to a farm together with Edwin Pratt, 58, when they saw an orange glow descend from the sky. The car began to shudder and shake and went out of control, careering off the road onto a grass verge at the right, where it stopped. Its headlights were now at four times normal intensity. 15 ft in front of the car they saw a glowing orange cigar shaped object 15 ft long, hovering 12-18” above the grass. It had a window at the top left, inside which they could see 3 men’s heads. Then a man emerged from the object, though they saw no door open, and walked toward the car. He was about 6 ft tall, slim, and wore a silvery one piece suit that looked like aluminum foil, with a seam or zipper down the front; he wore no helmet; his skin was pale, with long blond hair and a dark beard. When he reached the car he bent over and looked inside. He had a long, sharp pointed nose and piercing pink eyes “like a rabbit,” the whole eyes seemingly pink. The car’s engine then spontaneously started. After about 2 minutes he moved to the rear of the car and was seen no more; the object had meanwhile disappeared. The car then behaved normally, and afterwards it performed better than before the incident.

Psychic Greta Woodrew claimed she was contacted by aliens, and told that they are waiting to help Earth cope with future catastrophes. She said she met beings from a planet called Ogatta, many light years away, during experiments at the laboratories of para-psychologist Dr. Andrijah Puharich. Mrs. Woodrew was placed into a deep hypnotic trance. She claimed she found herself in a long shadowy tunnel being guarded by a man-like creature called Hshames and two bird-like entities. Hshames stood just over five feet tall, and his skin was covered with minute feathers. He had large gold-flecked, luminous, lashless eyes, and his upper lip resembled a beak. They conversed by telepathy, and the figure told her about Ogatta. During a second experiment Mrs. Woodrew claimed that her soul left her body, and she was transported to Ogatta itself. Everything shone, and the surface was covered with dots like glistening halves of marbles. They held a precious water-like substance. At the next session, according to Mrs. Woodrew, an entity called Ogatta spoke to her. He said beings had set up a way station on the minor planet Vesta in our solar system, which will be used to help Earth. An armada of spacecraft, called “gattae” would come down to Earth after drastic changes occurred. Their preparations were well under way. Mrs. Woodrew claimed she was then shown scenes of devastation, which could happen on Earth in the next few decades. Floods, hurricanes, super-magnetic storms, droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves that will cover entire cities and people dying of thirst and hunger. “I was told by the extraterrestrials that they were survivors of what could come”, Mrs. Woodrew said. Then they said, “Despite what man can do to man and nature’s plan, there are civilizations in the cosmos who believe planet Earth’s worth helping.”

The witness was on his way to work at the local police station and had passed a garage located outside of town when he heard a loud “clanking” sound. Then to his left, there came into view a strange looking craft traveling low in the sky, the likes of which he had never seen before. It was a three-pronged object with a barbell like shape attached towards the end of one of its arms. The witness likened its size to that of a 747. The barbell seemed transparent and carried a red light, which flashed constantly, and yet there were no visible signs of engines or other means of propulsion. The UFO then stopped to hover. At that moment the witness experienced something completely new, while continuing to drive towards his destination his mind was suddenly filled with the image of a humanoid figure, surrounded by an intense white light, dressed in some kind of space suit. He could not see its face, but his demeanor seemed haughty, even arrogant. He was wearing extremely large, bronze colored boots. At that point and for reasons he cannot explain, the witness switched on the sidelights of his car. Suddenly, the demeanor of the figure changed to one of extreme anger and his body disappeared in a blaze of light. Within seconds, however, the figure returned, only this time it appeared to be crying. The witness then heard the words, “Love and Compassion.” At that point the UFO turned and from a standing start sped away towards the direction of Bristol at a very high rate of speed. The entire episode lasted two minutes.

After coming home from work the witness observed a white fluorescent cigar-shaped object at 60 ft altitude and 35 ft away at the closest point. The object was about 20 ft long and about 6 ft high. It moved into the southern sky about 1 mile away and burst into a “giant sparkler”, which then moved in a straight line and split into two objects. The two additional objects began to signal the witness with flashes of light, and then began to turn red and blink and then disappear over he horizon. The witness got into his car and attempted to chase the original object, he used a pair of binoculars to observe a black crescent shaped UFO, which nearly filled his entire field of view. At this point a “mystery man” not described approached the witness car and began to bang on the window, he spoke with the stranger for a minute and then drove to a nearby police station. Upon arriving home he saw a chevron-shaped cloud formation, he again looked at the cloud with his binoculars and saw a “classic” saucer shaped object emerge from the cloud, rotating and with alternate red and green lights. It approached the witness location. He then hid behind the storm door and watched the saucer float above his neighbor’s house across the street about 50 ft away and about 50 ft high.

The main witness and his wife were heading west on Sterling Road to drop off his children 4 and 1 ½ years of age at a local daycare center. As he was passing a bicyclist he noticed in the northwest sky a fireball falling. After a minute he pulled his car over and shut it off to say prayers as he thought it was an airplane crashing. He sat for several minutes after the fireball disappeared behind trees several miles away but he saw no flash, nor did he hear an explosion. Within two more minutes the witness and his wife observed a huge dull, grayish metallic looking object that was heading slowly towards them and southeast. The object was immense, did not emit any noise, smoke or any exhaust that would be noticeable from thermal fluctuations of the air around it. The object now appeared to be oblong or cigar-shaped, more than 250 ft long and more than 30 ft high. There seemed to be some sort of whitish light atop and a light at each end, front and rear but not white. As it approached their vehicle his wife’s upper body leaned out the window to look up at it. He observed it from the windshield inside. As they kept asking what it was he noticed that the entire interior of the car was illuminated. He then noticed his 4-year old daughter leaning on the back window looking up. He then looked at his interior light and saw that it was not lit. He immediately looked outside his side window and it was still pitch black outside the car. He then looked up as best he could to get a fix on the structure as it was now less than 50 ft from them. The surface was not metal at all. It had a sandy texture similar to that of shark skin. He could not locate any seams or a single area that would suggest any conventional assembly that he had ever seen. The object became stationary for an undetermined period of time and they just stared at it for minutes. And then from the corner of his left eye the main witness saw a small child-like figure run rapidly across the front of his headlights. It was about to climb over to climb over the metal road barrier but hesitated and turned toward him. He immediately tried to get a glimpse of any articles that he might be able to identify but it had nothing. It had no shoes, belt, tools, weapons or any other devices. His first thought was to jump out and grab it and throw it in the trunk. But then a voice of sorts told him not to move or he would be harmed. He tried to lift his arm and was horrified that it looked like it was cut off where the light ended inside the car. He looked at the small figure again and thought that it was so small and having no weapons that he could easily overpower it. The voice again warned him that the stretch cloth suit that the figure was wearing carried 40,000 volts of piezo-electrical current. The figure then hopped over the fence and went into a horse breeding ranch at about 140 Street. His last memory of the incident was when he was looking behind his car and seeing a somewhat different shaped object about 1 mile south of his location moving slowly at first but then as he watched the object seemed to accelerate so fast that it just vaporized. He then drove off without speaking a word to his wife and at the daycare center realized that they had been at the site for over 40 minutes. He also lost his eyesight for almost 2 days after the incident.

[Comment as1: The witness also claims that after years of nightmares after the incident he learned that the occupants of the craft he had seen were from a parallel Universe.]

Leaving Custodio’s sister’s house to go to their own house, about a 5-minute walk away, Mrs Martins was the first to observe a strange “form” coming toward the couple. It was tall and thin and moved at a slower pace, so that by the time they reached their own doorstep, they were within 20 meters of the strange figure. Although it was moving slowly, it appeared “motionless,” and Mr. Martins described it as featureless and vaguely transparent, his wife said it was dark. It made no sound of footsteps as it moved away. It appeared to be 2 meters tall and there were no apparent signs of arms or legs. A “head” appeared on the top of the form and seemed to be dressed in a one-piece garment that fell down to the ground in a straight, featureless line. It appeared to “glide” over the street. Interestingly, their dog, accompanying them homeward, slunk behind them at the approach of the figure, and then retreated. Mr. Martins would have confronted the figure had his wife not held him, preventing him from doing so. The figure was in view by at least one of the witnesses for about 5 minutes—nearly the whole time it took to walk from the one house to the other.

Antonia, 68, was driving to her home in an unidentified hamlet when she entered a small wood. She found it illuminated (only on the right hand side of the road) by a strange white light that, although it came from in front of her, lit up everything without producing any shadows with such unnatural distinctness that the trees and bushes appeared as if seen through binoculars. She drove slowly around a curve, and came upon the source, a flat elliptical or lenticular mass of brilliant, but not blinding, light 6-10 ft high and 26-30 ft wide, resting on the road ahead; it extended across the whole road including its grassy shoulders. When 20 yards from it, she stopped, and then tried to back up. Although the car was in reverse and the clutch engaged, it slowly crept forward. She gave up trying, and disengaged the clutch. The mass of light, she could see now see, was made up of a great number of very thin, flat luminous plates standing vertically, 2-3” wide and 3-7 tall, the shorter ones in front the taller ones behind. The car, still moving forward of its own accord, now turned to the right, onto the shoulder. There was no room there for it to pass; the right end of the luminous mass abutted the rock wall where the road had been cut into the slope. The car proceeded to travel into the right end of the luminous aggregation. In the midst of the light the witness felt her head forcibly turned to the left. She then perceived an ever more luminous ellipse, 16” high and 12” wide, not far from the car, at eye level, while at the same time she felt as if her brain was removed from he skull for about 3 seconds. Then, only 20” away, she saw a clothed human arm appear, as if it were that of an unseen man standing on the ground. It described a curve front to back, and at once all the lights went out. At the same moment the witness headlights went out, and her motor died. In darkness, she heard a slight click, and a sound like a sliding door opening. Her car (which had by now had come back onto the paved road) stopped. Two white luminescent geometrical shapes—vertical rectangles capped with slightly wider equilateral triangles, 32” tall—perfectly flat, like paper cutouts—appeared ahead of the car and approached to within 20” of its hood. The witness had the impression they were alive. Then she felt 2 “electrical shudders” running from head to toe, and lost consciousness. She was awakened by a sound like a pistol-shot, beside and behind her; something struck against the car. She heard a voice say, “Oh, we have killed her!” She found that she was still sitting at the car’s steering wheel. Looking at her outside rear window mirror, she could not see it. On opening the window and feeling, she found it missing from its supporting arm. At that moment she felt that her legs too were gone, and cried out “My legs! then sensation in them began to return. Her feet, she found, were now slued over to the right side of the car, which had not been so before. Looking about, she found that the car was now standing at the exit of the woods, 100 yards beyond the place where she had lost consciousness. All was dark except for two small lights before her, which she took at first for two very bright, low stars. She turned on her headlights, and then saw that they were artificial lights, which were sunk into the lower portion of a disc shaped object, hovering motionless 10 ft above the road, 10-15 ft ahead of her. It’s under surface was convex, metallic gray, with two darker 8” squares; it was at least 30 ft wide. After she had looked at this for 5 minutes, her car’s motor suddenly started up of itself. Immediately thereafter the UFO’s lights went out, and it silently flashed away, buffeting the car with a shock wave as it left. Antonia drove home, arriving 55 minutes later than she had expected to. On her arrival, her dogs shunned her. She could not sleep that night. In the morning she discovered a painless tear in her skin running from her anus to her vagina, whose lips were swollen and numb. On washing out her vagina, she found that it was stuffed with earth. At that point, her memory of the event returned. She went to the car and returned to the site, where she verified that her car’s tracks were impressed on the road-shoulder where it had gone around the luminous mass. The broken off metal back of her rear view mirror was found by the road at the entrance of the woods, 250 yards before the point where she had noticed its absence; no fragments of its glass were to be found. When Antonia had the mirror replaced, the mechanic was surprised to observe that the car was strongly magnetized. For two weeks she was hardly able to get to sleep. During this period, when she was drowsy and half sleep, vivid quasi-dreams repeatedly came to her conscious memory. She was able to remember that she had found herself in a circular room, dark except at the center, where there was a light from no visible source. Here, in front of her, was suspended by metal pipes attached to its ends a green hemi-cylinder 5 ft long, onto which, by persons unseen, she was forcibly placed and twisted about into various extreme and painful postures; she called this a “vaulting horse.” During this she could glimpse two figures, one on each side of her, standing looking at her; they were not very tall, and wore close fitting one piece suits one of them had an “officer’s collar” and wore a black skullcap and had a narrow black mustache. Both appeared to be “Chinese.” One, with the cap, was smiling “tenderly” at her; the other looked evil and malevolent. She could hear others, whom she could not see, “murmuring.” Also a hand was seen, holding a sort of “toy windmill” with sparkling points of light. In the dark wall were visible two dimly luminous, very small portholes. Later, she felt herself standing, being moved about as if someone was dressing her, and then thrown down onto something hard, after which someone said, in French, “She is dead!”

Suddenly he saw, outside on the lawn about 65 ft away, a “human form” about 5.5 ft tall, fluorescent green in color, its outline surrounded by a multitude of green scintillating points of light. It stood, arms at sides, in the middle of a circular luminous spot on the ground, “of a color which I had never seen, resembling orange yellow.” Its head was large and round, as if wearing a helmet; no features or other details were visible (the back may have been turned), nor could the witness describe the clothing. On seeing this, Hermann jumped up, and then felt his neck muscles paralyzed, possibly caused by shock, he ran out of the office and outside, but just as he came in sight of the figure again, it vanished.

At the same time that several locals watched a luminous reddish “cloud” hovering over the area, the main witness, Agustin, was preparing the annual Christmas tree a few feet from his house when suddenly he noticed a strange “vehicle” resembling a dome shaped platform approaching his location. On top of the platform stood two very tall beings, one of them a woman who called the witness by his name. The object then hovered a few feet from the witness. Both beings were over 2 meters tall and wore dark tight fitting scaled diver’s outfits. Both were extremely pale and the woman had very long dark hair. The woman left the platform and approached the witness, leaving the man behind. She told the witness that they had come from another world and that they were here to “help humanity.” In order to prove this she instructed Agustin to touch a nearby stone and water would flow from it. He did and apparently felt his hand wet. Frightened, the witness watched the woman reboard the floating platform and leave. The witness remained drained of energy and unable to move for about 15 minutes. He was never as energetic as he was before and soon after this encounter died of cardiac failure.

A 25-year old driver saw a cigar shaped object twice the width of the moon; 3 or 4 human like forms were visible through oval windows. It was stationary low in the east, 400-500 ft away. After 7-8 seconds, it disappeared in a bright red flash.

Liberato Anibal Quintero, a cowman, was roused from sleep by a thunderstorm. He felt a compulsion to go out of the house, and to walk toward the cowsheds some distance away. Just before he reached them he saw a vivid beam of light, which lit, up the sky. As the light approached, he threw himself to the ground and crawled into some bushes. He saw that a big, brilliantly luminous egg shaped object was slowly descending, lighting up the whole area and producing and unbearable heat. It landed near the cowsheds, and a small ladder was extended to the ground. Quintero wanted to run away, but he was unable to. A number of small figures (less than 5 ft tall) descended the ladder, carrying lights in their hands; they were white skinned, with flat faces, very high cheekbones, thick eyebrows, and round protruding eyes. Three of them were women, with long hair. These little people spotted Quintero, and caught him, though he knocked 4 or 6 of them down. They seized him by the spine, and he lost consciousness. When he recovered his senses he found himself naked, inside a room “with extraordinary lights,” racked with pain. There was a puncture mark on his right arm, and he thought they had taken blood from him. Beside him were 3 of the women, massaging his back and apparently trying to relieve his pain. They too were naked. He noticed that they had no navels. His advances were cordially received, and he was soon having intercourse with one of them. This woman, who was “extremely hairy” and “very ardent,” uttered “barks like a dog,” which were answered by barks from outside the room. The witness was exhausted after this, but the other 2 women gave him a “strange yellowish stuff” to drink, which “completely restored his vigor.” He proceeded to have intercourse with them also; “the whole affair with the 3 of them must have lasted at least 3 hours.” He felt the prick of an injection again, this time in his back, and lost consciousness. When he awoke he was lying on the grass near the cowsheds, and dawn was just breaking. He staggered home and told his wife, and subsequently his workmates, what had happened to him. His friends searched the spot, finding marks left on the ground by the object. Subsequently Quintero suffered from excruciating headaches. His employer described Quintero as totally trustworthy.

The six-year old witness had gone to bed with great anticipation as to Christmas morning, he thinks he may have fallen asleep but for some reason he suddenly awoke. He opened his eyes and was riveted to the scene. He saw something bending over the presents by the Christmas tree. It was a short figure about one or two feet tall composed entirely of what he could only describe as “white noise” (the kind of static on an analog television set when there is no signal). The figure stood there motionless. When the witness rubbed his eyes to address an itch the figure had disappeared. He waited awhile to see if it would come back but it never did.

While numerous farmers were returning home from the fields, walking along the main road they observed an intense violet light that was approaching the group from a distance of about 120 meters away. Ahead of the group were Candelaria Tucto Chilon and her young daughter. As everyone watch stunned the light seemed to transform itself into a metallic disc-shaped object the likes of which had been seen in numerous occasions in the region. The craft approached Candelaria and her daughter and without stopping it transformed itself into a bright violet light again, which seemed to enveloped mother & daughter, the light then disappeared into the sky. Mother and daughter were never seen again. Three witnesses testified to the civil guard about the truthfulness of the incident.

Joyce Bowles and Ted Pratt (involved in an earlier encounter) were driving to her home after dark when they saw a light in the sky among the clouds. Then Joyce heard a whistling noise, and the car began to rock backwards, forwards, and sideways. The next thing she knew, they were standing by the car inside a room, which she took to be in a spacecraft, with 3 men regarding them. One of these, with a beard, appeared to be the same man seen on Nov. 14. Another had a belt with a large scintillating jewel at the front, which he kept rubbing. He looked at the others and said something that sounded like “Millager,” with other words in an unknown language. Then the men talked to the witnesses in broken English, assuring them that no harm was intended. Ted was told to take 7 steps, then asked, “What do you feel?” he replied that it was cooler at one end than at the other. The man besides Joyce pointed at the wall where there were several incomprehensible diagrams on transparent material, and said “These are our fields.” He also said, “We are not coming to invade you.” Joyce then replied, “That’s what Hitler said.” He appeared vexed, and said, “You have a very strong tongue.” The men wore as before, silver boiler suits, with pale collars at the neck and silver boots; hanging on the shoulders was a pair of silver gauntlets. The humanoids were described as “nice looking people” with long sandy hair, which seemed rather coarse in texture than our own. Their eyes were glittering, their hands were normal. Ted asked, “Why pick Joyce?” The reply was not comprehensible, but they gathered it had something to do with the humanoid having put his hand on the car on Nov 1976. They also stated that they would be back, but did not say when. Much of the talk of the humanoids was in an unknown language. In the middle of the room was a large bottle shaped structure, wide at the bottom and tapering upwards. This had red, black, and yellow bands around it, and “emblems which reminded her of horoscope symbols.” Soon everything went “hazy” and they found themselves back in the car beside a road by a river. They eventually drove home.

Nellie Richardson, 65, was awakened by a loud bang. She got out of bed and saw a brilliant yellow-glowing object hovering outside the window, the apparent size of a 9” diameter plate at 10 ft distance. It moved toward her and became orange in color. After she had watched the object for over an hour it began to move away; at this time she saw two shadowy figures moving about, silhouetted against the glow.
