1996 HUMANOID SIGHTING REPORTSCompiled byAlbert Rosalesgaruda79@att.net

Worldwide encounters. Chupacabra mania enveloped parts of South America and the Caribbean. A bizarre cryptic creature, unfortunately named “The Chupacabra” seemed to have been active in different locations in South and Central America. The connection between UFOs and this strange humanoid was obvious in many encounters. Bizarre animals mutilations were attributed to this humanoid. Another strange creature created havoc and spread panic in India during the summer. Landings of strange objects, encounters with other types of humanoids and bizarre abductions stories were reported from many different locations worldwide. Even a Mothman type creature was reported in the state of Washington. During the fall, the occupied Arab territories in Israel became the scene of bizarre and numerous encounters, without precedence. High Strangeness spread throughout the Holy Land like wildfire. 1996 became a landmark year; it was the biggest humanoid wave since the memorable year of 1989.

The witness, a psychology student was sleeping along with two other students in a local flat when suddenly he realized he had woken up. He rested, relaxed in bed listening to the heavy breathing of a roommate in the same room. Suddenly from the bedroom door that had been left open, an apparently human-like figure entered. The figure was dressed in white and was not too tall; the witness immediately felt it was a woman. The figure came close to the side of the bed and took the witness left hand and began to pull with certain strength. It seemed that the entity wanted to pull him off the bed. Overcome with terror he began to resist the pull and began to scream wildly. Suddenly he found himself in the same position and the strange white suited entity had disappeared.

B. Borovikov was hunting sharks in the area and on that particular day had descended to a depth of eight meters. He then saw giant beings rising up from below. He described them as milky white, but with humanoid faces, and something like fish tails. The being ahead of its companions noticed Borovikov, and stopped. It had giant bulging eyes. Two others joined him. The first one waved a membrane hand at the diver, and then all of them approached him and stopped a short distance away. Then they turned around and swam away.

Driving late at night on Route BR-101 near a local bridge, Maria Marlene Carvalho, 27, saw a light in the distance and felt the car suddenly being pulled towards it. The vehicle began to shake, and she lost total control of it as the car slowed to a crawl. Marlene suddenly found herself in a wooded hill surrounded by trees. A tall dark skinned humanoid figure suddenly appeared in front of her. In a deep grave voice the creature introduced itself as “Dakon.” The tall humanoid had large green glowing eyes. She seemed to black out and her next recollection was of walking into a police station near the capital. Police later searched the area but were unable to find anything.

Location. Murwillumbah Highway, near Lismore, NSW, Australia
Date: 1996
Time: 1930
John was driving back from Lismore when his car suddenly stopped. He checked under the bonnet but could not find anything obvious so decided to start walking to get help. John stated that he had a funny feeling like something was touching his spine. He looked up to see 2 bright white lights about 500m above and heard what he described as like the sound of an arc welder. He noticed that there were trucks driving by on the road. John then hit the ground and rolled down the embankment. He then noticed a “gray” alien, which said to him, “you can’t get away” and grabbed him by the arm and proceeded towards one of the “motherships”. John stated that the craft was shaped like Egyptian “Eye of Osiris” metallic and gunmetal gray with no apparent openings. He said that both walked straight through the wall. The alien (who John learned his name was Theoraba) took him inside and he observed other aliens working on computers etc. And also noticed what he now calls “baby aliens” in flasks of red, green-orange solution. John asked him “what are those”? And the alien replied that they were “baby aliens”. The alien then asked him, “Would you like to have something to do with these in the future”? Two aliens then grabbed his arms and legs as he was approached by a female alien who he thought was a half human “hybrid”, with the body of a woman, long arms, 5 fingers and very dark black eyes. He was told that the aliens wanted him to father children for them, and at this point John began to panic. The female alien then took on a more human appearance and that he then became sexually aroused and made love to the female alien. A metal object was later introduced into his anal cavity (the famous anal probe) and a patch of skin from his left palm was taken for “DNA” samples. When he asked about the skin sample he was told that their planet had “blown up” and that in order to continue their species and ensure that genetic inbreeding didn’t occur that hybrids were the only alternative. That same year on another occasion John was walking along the road at Kingscliffe and saw two “motherships” again, and shouted at them to leave him alone. Apparently he met the now familiar gray alien who told him that they had inserted an implant in his finger. Still on another occasion whilst out in the bush John encountered a female alien hybrid, which he assumes was one of his offspring. He communicated with her telepathically. He states that she was quite young and because of this was wearing what he assumed to be breathing apparatus, which went from around her head into her mouth and nostrils. He was told that she was unable to breathe in our atmosphere yet. John claims he has 5 male and 1 female hybrid offspring.

The witness was sitting on her couch when she became aware of a small rectangle of light that came in through the closed window, rotating as it moved towards her, edgewise. As she looked into the rectangle she knew that she was somehow looking into another universe. Suddenly from out of the rectangle sprang a being dressed in a bronze or amber suit, wearing a tight helmet. Although she was unable to recall any facial features, she did remember the being’s eyes, which were huge and looked directly into hers as it bent over her. She was terrified and unable to move. When she became conscious of her surroundings again it was 0530A.

During a nighttime patrol by a security guard, he heard what sounded like horses hooves, apparently galloping. Needless to say there should not have been any horses in the fenced off area. The guard was using his flashlight, and rounded a corner of a building when the flashlight beam illuminated an unusual sight—a full sized Centaur, right out of Greek mythology. The only “incorrect” feature was that the Centaur had human hands and feet on the end of its horse’s limbs. (How did he make a galloping sound of horse’s hooves?) The guard, somewhat spooked, ran away from the scene.

Terry Neal was sleeping in her apartment when she suddenly awoke to find a figure standing in her bedroom. The figure was staring at her. She could not tell the sex of the individual, as she could not make out any particular features. However, the figure was very tall. Her ceilings were perhaps 9-foot ceilings and this figure stood at about 7 ft tall. The figure was glowing with a light so bright that it made the room glow with a strange white color light. It resembled a pure white, silvery metallic glow. The figure reached towards her and she screamed. She had suddenly for some reason felt very frightened. At this point the figure suddenly vanished from the room.

Gonzalo Fernandez Gamboa and several friends were camping out in the desert and were having a cookout around a large fire. Suddenly as they sat around talking a tall stranger appeared out of nowhere, the man was about 1.90m in height, with very wide shoulders impeccably dressed, in a white shirt, no hat. He approached the group and speaking in perfect Spanish asked the group for some fire. One of the men grabbed a small stick about 40cm in length lit it up and gave it to the stranger. The stranger thank the group and then added, “be careful with fire it could be dangerous”. The group was extremely surprised since the stranger was completely clean without an ounce of dust on him, while the group was totally covered head to toe by the desert sand. The stranger disappeared into the darkness. Several of those present attempted to locate him but could not find any footprints or traces.

Several youngsters returning home in a residential area observed a huge bright light quickly approaching in their direction. To the five witnesses it looked like the “sky had just opened.” As the object descended they could see that it was a domed disc shaped craft encased in a reddish foggy glow. It was emitting bright flashes of light and a high frequency humming sound. The craft also had a dome on its bottom and in the center area multi-colored lights rotated. Suddenly the craft divided itself in two and one section flew off towards the nearby Island of Culebra, while the other larger section remained and tilted to one side and flew off towards the west. Before it left, it hovered 300 feet away from the house of two adult witnesses, Carmelo Felix and his wife Maria, that were able to see the upper transparent cupola and inside of it they could see multi-colored flashes of light, plus what appeared to be the constant movement of a shadowy figure.

The witness (involved in other encounters) woke during the night and saw a small being scamper away from her, across her husband and to the foot of the bed without movement from the mattress. The creature moved to the floor and joined at least three other creatures that huddled against the wall on her husband’s side of the bed, watching her. The woman could not move or speak, just observe the beings by the illumination from the VCR light. The humanoid creatures were five ft tall, with skinny limbs, gray skin, small mouths, large eyes, a reverse teardrop shaped head, and a face also shaped like a teardrop. The odd part of the story was their dress black Panama hats and dark cloaks. She noticed neither smell nor sound during the experience. The apparently fell asleep again. In the morning her husband was ignorant of the incident, but the couple found orange-brown stains on the bedroom carpet and a sheet. A burn the shape of a commando dagger blade was preserved.

Traveling north on the heavily traveled Fernao Dias highway 35-year old Carlos da Souza suddenly heard a muffled roaring sound, and he wondered if something was wrong with the truck. He stopped to check, but when he stepped down from the cab he realized the noise was coming from a cigar-shaped craft about 400 ft in the air just west of the highway. It was silver colored, reflecting the sun, and appeared to be 30 to 40 ft long and 12 to 15 ft wide. It had at least four windows along the side and what looked like a big jagged hole four or five feet in diameter in the front. There was a long dent or crack running from the hole back to the middle of the craft, from which point white smoke or vapor was coming out. The craft was traveling north, almost parallel to the highway, at about 40 to 50 miles an hour. Astonished, Da Souza jumped in his pickup and followed the UFO for about 10 miles. It soon crossed over to the east side of the highway and eventually passed over some small mountains. Then it went into a 30-degree dive and disappeared from sight. Da Souza was afraid it had crashed and desperately searched for a way to get to the area. After 20 minutes or so, he found a dirt side road and turned onto it. A few minutes later he drove over the crest of a hill and there before him was wreckage spread all over a hilly field of knee-high grass. He also saw about 40 soldiers and two male nurses, two trucks, a helicopter, an ambulance and three cars—all Army vehicles. Everyone was busily running around picking up pieces of debris. One truck already held a chunk half the size of a mini-van. A strong smell of ammonia and ether hung in the air. It was a terrible crash and Da Souza doubted that anyone had lived through it. He was surprised to see anyone there, let alone the military. He didn’t know at the time that the site was only seven miles from the ESA Army base in Tres Coracoes. He parked and walked toward the wreckage, thinking he could help. He picked up a piece of aluminum-like material that was very light. It floated to the ground when he dropped it. Then one of the men spotted him, shouted, and in an instant, armed soldiers rushed toward him, ordering him to leave immediately. He protested, thinking someone had been badly hurt or killed, but a corporal screamed at him to get out. Da Souza was so astounded by what he’d seen that he abandoned his trip and headed back toward Sao Paulo. About 10 minutes later he stopped at a roadside restaurant to have coffee and think about what had happened. He was sitting there two hours later when a car drove up with two men in civilian clothes, but military haircuts and bearing. One got out and walked up to him, asked if his name was Carlos da Souza, then asked what he’d seen. He was then warned not to say anything to anybody and threatened, the men then left. (This occurred one week before the incidents in Varginha).

The witness was lying in bed with his head opposite to the window when he began to see lights reflecting/flashing on the wall. They resembled ambulance and fire truck lights. He looked out the window and could not see anything out of the ordinary. He climbed back into bed and later began hearing odd little noises resembling muffled voices or whispers, which were unintelligible; he also heard noises coming from the backdoor. Soon an uneasy feeling came over him as if there was someone else in the room. He looked up and saw a figure that stood not much taller than his waterbed. At the very most the figure was about 3ft tall. It was staring directly at him. Because of the darkness he could no see any other details. Panicking, he suddenly was unable to move. He has no other memories of the incident.

Hildo Lucio Galindo opened his bathroom window to see a creature with oily dark brown skin crouched in a nearby alleyway. It had very small hands with three extremely long fingers, ran away when Hildo cried out. The creature had no hair or clothing and was about 4-5 feet tall. Later several calls came into the local fire department about some “wild animal” on the loose in the northern area of the park. When the fire department arrived they found the military already on scene. According to other witnesses some children had thrown stones at a strange creature that emitted a soft buzzing sound like a bee. This creature was apparently captured by the military and put in a wooden box with a white plastic canvas cover and transported away by an army truck. Around the same time local residents heard three shots and saw soldiers come out of the woods carrying two campaign sacks. One motionless, the other moving. Sources revealed that the soldiers had shot a creature on the chest and it had died instantly. Others saw army trucks near the woods and others saw two F-5 aircraft moving at a low altitude over the area. It was reported that a total of 8 creatures were captured at the time. 1 dead, 2 injured, and 5 unhurt and living. Earlier that same day, around 0130A two farm workers in the same general area had spotted a group of agitated animals running away from a location, upon closer investigation they saw a gray metallic submarine shaped craft that appeared to be trembling like a curtain and emitting smoke or fog as it descended to at least 5 meters above the ground. Military witnesses later admitted that it had crashed.

It had brown skin, bulging red eyes, bulging veins, enormous feet, and three protruding lumps on its head. The being was apparently unclothed and its body seemed covered with oil. The girls panicked and ran away from the area to obtained additional witnesses. Soon units of the local fire department arrived and apparently took the creature into custody. Apparently a similar creature had been captured earlier. The creature emitted a strange buzzing like sound. Others saw strange cigar shaped objects flying low over a field.

At a remote mountain village several Quechua Indian shepherds tending their flocks watched six objects flying over the area. According to a witness, Silvia Bedoya, 40, the objects apparently emerged from nearby Lake Cococha. The objects formed what seemed a protective circle around a larger mother-ship type object. The flight of the objects illuminated the whole valley in an eerie deep purple type of light. The “mother ship” landed upriver from the village. Soon two occupants emerged from the object. These were described as 3 feet, 3 inches tall, with large oversized heads, long spindly arms and short bandy legs. They wore gunmetal gray helmets and matching one-piece coveralls. The humanoids took out transparent containers and, ignoring the shepherds, collected many samples, like soil, grass, mountain weeds, & water from the nearby river. Soon the humanoids entered the large object and all the objects shot away into space @ high speed.

Shirley Oatsball woke up feeling very thirsty and as she rose from bed she noticed standing at the foot of her bed a bizarre creature about 5 ft tall, hairy, with thick black hair with large red luminous staring eyes. It was about 175 lbs and from its mouth a tongue like protrusion came out, long and red, about two ft long and very sharp. The creature just stood there and at no time attempted to attack the witness. Scared she attempted to wake her husband and at this point the creature ran out the door at incredible speed leaving behind a rush of wind.

Cranberry bog farmer Allen Greenwood was walking along Bay Road, when he spotted an alien craft landing about three hundred meters in front of him. The craft was shaped like a baseball bat and had three chartreuse lights on the wide end. Five small white colored men with large eyes exited the craft and approached Greenwood, at which point he pulled out a handgun and reportedly abducted them by force. He took them to a nearby farm and hid there with the little men. Apparently the National Guard surrounded the property and negotiations were reported between the farmer and the authorities. No other information. (Media hoax?)

Two young men were walking in a wooded area on a very hot night when they heard noises behind them. Looking back they did not see anything, but one of the witnesses was carrying a flashlight and illuminated the area. They were stunned to see a dead dog on the ground with its jaw apparently preyed opened in an unnatural manner. They inspected the animal and were surprised to see that rigor mortis had apparently set in. Frightened they began walking quickly away from the area; they then heard the noises again. Again they illuminated the area with the flashlight and this time they were stunned to see a dead cat in similar conditions to that of the dog. Afraid they began running away from the area. Suddenly a bizarre creature jumped out of the woods and crossed their path directly in front of them. The creature was described as something resembling a bipedal dog, it had a rounded head, and had what appeared to be two small claw-like protrusions from the top of its chest. Frightened the two witnesses fled the area. One of them returned the next day and found the still there but the cat was missing. Several chickens also turned up dead on a nearby farm.

The same night that witnesses saw a large triangular vessel hovering over the town of Buckingham, Quebec, farmer Louis Boisvert, 19, saw a very large metallic triangular craft with a set of red lights hovering over a barn, while plowing snow on his tractor. The craft seemed to very slowly fly over the barn. The light coming form the triangle did not illuminate the ground or even the roof of the barn. The craft then suddenly left. After the craft left Boisvert and his father, noticed that their electric water pump would not function. Troubled by recurring dreams, Boisvert underwent hypnotic regressing. He was then able to remember that he had hopped of the tractor and ran to the barn where his father was working. As he rushed into the barn, he saw his father standing there with a blank expression on his face. Besides him stood two reptilian looking creatures, with long faces, scaled leathery skin, black eyes, clawed hands, and gaunt arms and legs. Both Boisvert and his father were taken onboard the triangular object by the humanoids.

The witness, who had been involved in a previous UFO abduction, received a strange visit by three pale, very bald men in black suits. They appeared Oriental-looking and arrived to the witness house in a black, late model Cadillac. They moved rather slowly and methodically, stiff and emotionless, almost like robots. The witness was told by one of them that they were from the FBI and he had to come with them to answer a few questions. They produced some ID badges. One man drove while the witness sat in the back seat between the other two. They drove in a big circle and during the drive warned the witness to stop talking about his UFO abduction. They showed him grisly pictures of mutilated human bodies. They also had a small television in the car, which showed some video footage of them supposedly killing people. At one point the witness tried to force himself out of the car but was prevented by the men. After about 1 hour and a half he was returned back home unharmed.

Paul Green suddenly woke up and immediately felt a distinct presence in the bedroom. He had heard it come into the bedroom but had thought it was his daughter. He then opened his eyes and looked to the side of the bed and saw an entity standing in front of the wardrobe, nearly facing him and his sleeping wife. Its entire body was giving off a soft dull bluish glow. The entity had human characteristics. It had a small head with a distinctly pointed chin, a bald domed head, and a very thin neck. It had a barrel shaped body, and very thin flexible arms, which was waving around very slowly in a fashion similar to Tai Chi movements. The glow that was giving off obscured its facial features. It seemed to exude an aura of peace. The entity, who seemed to be looking towards the witness daughter’s room, suddenly reacted, turning its head slightly towards the witness and then smoothly stretching out a hand in his direction, fingers widespread. Then a pale ball of light, leaped from the palm of the humanoid’s hand straight towards the witness, in a slow motion manner, hitting the witness square between the eyes. That was his last recollection, suddenly it was broad daylight, and the strange entity was gone.

A familiar buzzing sensation now began to creep through his body, starting at the fingertips. It felt like a strong electric current, and it traveled slowly through his body. In pain and terrified he opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes looking intently into his. The entire image was bathed in a pale blue glow. The eyes looked vaguely human, and curiously female. They seemed to convey concern and worry. He could see a distinct iris and eyelashes. Somehow he managed to roll over away from the stare of the eyes. He felt terrific pain on his left arm and frantically began clinging to his wife. She woke up but the room was now empty. Before he closed his eyes he heard a telepathic message in his head.

Attempting to avoid hitting the creature they skidded and ran the vehicle off the side of the road. Two other vehicles apparently stopped nearby. Marcel now noticed two similar creatures that were apparently running towards a bright light that hovered above a nearby field. The light was very bright and silent. The two creatures ran on two legs and were very fast. They appeared to have scales along their backs and a band of sharp spikes that ran down from the back of their heads along the back. Seen in profile they resembled bipedal goats with short snouts and a tail. They also had bright red teardrop shaped eyes. Apparently the police filed a report on the incident.

Irasema Margarita Cuevas, and other witnesses in the household heard their dogs barking outside and went out to investigate. Outside they saw a red-orange dome shaped craft floating a few feet from the ground, near some nearby trees about 50 meters away. Soon from the craft a small humanoid emerged, about 1 meter in height. It began floating up and down in peculiar movements. From a belt around its waist a bluish beam of light emerged. The being appeared robotic in nature, somewhat resembling “Alpha” from the famed children’s shows “The Power Rangers.” After a few minutes the being re-entered the object, which rose up to join a similar craft. They both then flew towards the nearby swamps. Several witnesses then followed the objects and were able to see a brilliant light emerge from behind some trees and a huge column of gray smoke. Upon seeing this, the head of the household, Guillermo Serna Marquez, told his family to return to the house and went into the woods to investigate alone, on the way there he ran into a farmhand, which accompanied him into the woods. As they watched they saw a luminous craft fly over the trees in the direction of the swamp, then a 2 meter tall humanoid appeared, seemingly floating above the trees and accompanied by the small robotic “Alpha” like entity. They watched the beings float around and then enter the dome shaped object. After awhile the witnesses grew tired of watching this spectacle and went back home. The next day a large section of the ground was found scorched in the form of three enormous circles. Strange foam like substance was also found at the site, purplish white in color. Numerous other strange incidents were reported in subsequent days. Small flying red spheres, more animal mutilations, and a large orange sphere that followed some of the investigators late one night.

On March 2 1996 at 0630A police found a 17-year old boy wandering confused at the edge of Ilopango Lake. Later under interrogation he related a bizarre story. During the night in question he had been walking towards his home during a local “black-out.” Suddenly there was a bright flash of blue light from behind him. Thinking that it was the police he turned slowly around. Suddenly his next memory was of being in a completely white “space” or room. He could not distinguish any walls or furniture of any kind. He then realized that he was lying prone and unable to move in some sort of “bed.” He noticed numerous “cables” that appeared to be connected to his chest area, and on his right arm he had an object resembling a blood IV machine. He then saw several humanoids, about 1.2 meters in height. They had extremely large heads, huge eyes and in the forehead area he could see what appeared to be another “protuberance” resembling another eye. They also had sparse beards around the mouth and chin area. In a horrible state of confusion he noticed other humans in the room but could not tell if they were also prisoners or not. He remember seeing a terrible scene in which he saw several of the humanoids apparently operating on a woman, seemingly cutting her in half. Then they took the upper half of the human female and somehow inserted it on top and back of a “hump-like” area of one female humanoid that had apparently was being prepared on another bed. The humanoids wore white tunics on which they had a strange “symbol” on the right side of their chests. He was then taken to the shores of Lake Ilopango where they told the witness that their race “was in a state of war and could not reproduce in their original normal manner.” He then had the sensation of falling towards the lake. This part was very confusing and could not be remembered in detail. The beings also told the witness that on the bottom of the lake they had their reproductive “eggs.” Several strange scars were found on the witness body.

Looking out the window they were terrified to see several “Chupacabra” type creatures fighting with the dogs while others, which levitated over the ground, entered the hog pen killing several of the animals. After killing the hogs the creatures levitated up again, carrying the dead hogs out one by one. Immediately after, the creatures deposited the dead hogs in a perfect straight line on the ground. There was no doubt to the witnesses; the creatures were apparently behaving in an intelligent manner. After killing all the hogs and laying them out on the ground, the creatures departed. After awhile the family went outside and found all the hogs dead, apparently bloodless and also two of the dogs. The third dog survived but later died of its injuries.

He was dressed from head to foot in a white tunic, which also covered his head and face. He told her not to be afraid and introduced himself as a messenger from God. A conversation developed between them about which Hasnah revealed no further details, apart from the fact that the white night led her to understand that it was he who had been behind the crystal tears, and that all went according to God’s will. There was a witness to the conversation: Hasnah’s little brother had followed her outside, heard his sister speaking, but failed to see who she was talking to.

Moments later a shaft of “coherent” light appeared under the sphere, it reached the ground right below the sphere. Soon after, three small humanoids descended to the ground via the shaft of light, these seemed to move in slow motion. Once on the ground the three beings formed a line, grabbing each other’s shoulders, not unlike a “Conga” line. Then using quick jumping motions they began moving towards the witness location.

A local dentist who prefers to remain anonymous was leaving his clinic, located on Southwest 8th street in the heart of the city, when he went to the parking lot behind the building and sat down in his car. Starting the motor, he heard a flapping sound, and opening the car window, he observed a huge bird-like creature flying away in the darkness, leaving in the parking lot a dead dove and a frightened dentist. The dove checked by the dentist, showed a hole in the neck, and the bird was also without a single drop of blood.

One of the men felt mesmerized by the brilliant outburst of light, while his companion tried to keep hold of the squad car’s steering wheel. The mesmerized officer told his companion that he felt the odd sensation of being pushed upward at the same time that he saw two pairs of moist, black oval shaped eyes staring at him from large pear shaped heads. The police officer had not yet been able to digest the uncanny experience when the bizarre light staged a return. According to the agents, nine lights, identical to the first, appeared out of nowhere, and were then joined by three more which came from across the Portuguese border. The twelve lights were elongated and had an intensely yellow glow. The lights remained suspended some 100 feet above the highway, prompting the police officers to flee the scene in terror.

A 58-year old retired police officer and his wife arrived home together. On entering their house he detected a strong smell of sulfur. On investigation he found nothing visibly out of the usual. His wife went to the main bedroom and put on the lights in the hallway and in the bedroom. She then walked back along the hallway to the living room end of the house. He then walked along the hallway towards the bedroom and as he neared the end of the hallway where Jenny (his wife) had just passed, he walked into an area of extreme cold, which, as he touched it, discharged a strong electrical current, which caused him to reel backwards. He retreated back to the entry to the hall and he was filled with a feeling of revulsion and fear. He quickly recovered and Jenny then walked along the hall and suffered a similar experience. He tried again to walk along the hall and again suffered a similar electrical discharge. The witness and his wife discussed the situation for a while and tried several times to move past it along the hall, each time with the same result. During this period the object remained stationary at the southern end of the hallway. Their toy poodle was very much aware that something was wrong and he noticed that when he looked along the hall the guanine at the back of his eyes reflected a bright orange color instead of the usual bright green. The presence of the object could be determined by the feeling of an electrical discharge similar to static electricity though very strong and goose bumps appeared on the skin. Within the object it was extremely cold and quite painful. Upon direct contact one was drained of all energy for a short period and normal breathing was difficult. Later at 2030 their son Adrian and his then partner, Petra, arrived and he was invited to walk along the hallway. As he entered the hall he encountered the same discharge effect. The entity had moved eight meters and was in the northern end of the hall by this time. Petra, who was eight and a half months pregnant, encountered the object and was seemingly brushed or slapped aside but not hurt by it. Over the ensuing period all four of them had several direct contacts with the entity as it moved with apparent purpose throughout the house. Petra’s contacts were much less vigorous than those of the other three witnesses. At 2130 Adrian was ejected from a chair by the entity. Jenny had a severe accidental direct contact with the entity and was caught for a moment within it. She was visibly affected, breathing labored, elevated pulse rate, weakness and disorientation. External check of the premises revealed a column of warm air at the southern end of the house but nothing else unusual. During this period there was no discernible traffic or other sounds within or around the house. Adrian had another hard encounter with the entity. Adrian and Petra returned to their home. At 2330 a ball of light energy crossed within the screen of a television set. An independent witness testified to seeing a huge orange light suspended above the house at the same time, 0020A. A neighbor reported that her house shook and trembled for a period. The telemetry from the water storage reservoir across the road crashed and then, impossibly, restored itself. Loud clicks in a cadence of three and groups of three were heard several times throughout the house. Later some of the witnesses developed symptoms similar to a form of radiation sickness with severe headaches and flu like symptoms, sore eyes and joints, etc. Three developed chronic and permanent tinnitus. The main witness developed a brown-pigmented stain on both legs and a circular mark on the top of his left foot. Several rocks in the garden were discovered to have been affected by some form of energy, one having exploded into a fine powder. A candle had been selectively melted and the stearic acid component separated and crystallized. Moss on the concrete path showed burns marks. Two small sections of the path appeared to have been melted or glazed. Presently two of the witnesses have developed substantial psychic abilities.

The helmet had a clear visor, and she could see his face through it. She described his complexion as being a reddish or dark pink color with two vertical folds of flesh across the side of his cheeks. His lips were large and fleshy, and his nose, broad and flat. His eyes looked totally human and his expression was that of “complete boredom.” He was holding a round, black device that seemed to her like an old style radar gun used by the police.

Irene Sander was nodding off to sleep when a blinding white light woke her and a throbbing noise filled her ears. Paralyzed, she lay in fear as her body rose off the bed, almost reaching the ceiling. Then suddenly she went blank, waking hours later exhausted and aching, her room filled with a horrible odor. When Irene regained consciousness she was covered in bruises and puncture marks. Severely dehydrated and disoriented, Irene believes aliens had raped her. Her son Ryan also remembered a bright light and of flying onboard a spaceship to different parts of the world accompanied by short aliens about 90c m in height, very thin with grayish blue skin and black almond shaped eyes. Irene remembered being inside the ship; it was dull silver in color with a horrible musty smell. She communicated with the aliens via telepathy.

The creature was slightly bent forwards when first seen. The witness slowed the car and shone its headlights directly on it. The creature was covered with dark brown hair; it had large red eyes that glowed as if reflective. In a protective manner it covered its face with its hand and crouched down. The witness now could make out little horns on the creature’s head. When the car approached the creature left the road returning to the woods where it had come from.

The witness had just returned from feeding his horses, and gone inside his house when he noticed the back of a strange creature perched atop a six-foot fence. The creature stood 3 1/2 feet tall, was blackish green in color, with long 4 inch fangs coming out of the top of its mouth and a long whip-like tail. Additionally, the creature’s mouth was full of razor like teeth. The creature had “three bird-like” toes and on its arms, or wings, it had claws, long and shiny. The most striking feature was its red blazing eyes, which had a hypnotic effect on the witness. The witness armed himself with a double barrel shotgun, and opened the patio door and slowly walked outside. He watched the creature jump into some nearby grape vines. Bringing his shotgun up to his shoulders he fired twice. On the second barrel, the creature gave a high-pitched scream and disappeared into a puff of smoke. Immediately there was a horrible stench in the air. The witness felt that had he not shot the creature it would have attacked him. After the shooting his 3 dogs howled on smelling the stench and tried to get back inside the house.

It was reported that numerous witnesses spotted an unusual aircraft swoop down and land on the runway without tower permission and taxied over to the privately owned airplane parking area. The craft was described as a triangle-shaped object. The tower called the pilot but received no response. Three small occupants emerged from the object and began walking among the parked airplanes. Airport security then chased the beings across the runway right in front of a landing Delta airliner. Delta passengers described the beings as child-like in appearance, wearing metallic suits and white helmets. The three humanoids ducked into the terminal through the baggage area still being chased by airport security. Police were called in but when they apparently cornered the trio near a yogurt stand, they ran into what seemed to be an invisible barrier and could not get close to them. The humanoids then ran out through the baggage area. At the same time that Army personnel were arriving on humvees, the delta-winged UFO began to move. Witnesses saw the three occupants in the cockpit window. The object then rose straight up and took off at high speed.

Eva Leonidovna and her husband Leonid Pavlovich both residents of this small village were sitting inside their house reading when suddenly Eva felt someone’s fixed stare on her; she put down the newspaper and glanced out the window. Outside she saw a humanoid entity moving on their neighbor’s yard in the direction of the wicket fence towards the porch. The alien was more than 3 meters in height, which could be easily calculated judging by the height of the house. The width of the alien’s body was estimated as 2 times thicker than a telephone pole. Its hands and legs strangely did not move as it seemed to float just above the ground. The most amazing part of the alien was its head, which was completely round, the shape of an ideal sphere. The face was not visible because the whole head was dark in color and sparkled at times with blue, yellow and white flashes. The strange entity then disappeared behind some rowan berry bushes. Evan then rushed to the window, but she could not see anything. The entity had apparently dissolved into thin air. The whole observation lasted for 2 minutes; the woman attempted to notify her husband, but could not speak a word, apparently somehow influenced by the alien’s presence.

Two men, Vladimir and Sergey had gone into the popular Sablino caves out of curiosity. They went through the entrance and went along for about 50 meters lighting their way with a flashlight. Suddenly the flashlight died and fell from Sergey’s hands. When he found it he could not switch it on again. Suddenly Sergey noticed Vladimir apparently moving away and yelled at him asking why he had move but Vladimir swore he had not moved. His voice sounded as if coming out of a vacuum and was echoing. Suddenly something flashed and they both heard a low trembling humming sound. Vladimir sensed slipping down and landing on a heap of sand. The humming sound stopped and it was dark all around, but there was a faint glimmering distant light. Vladimir rushed in the direction of the light and finally left the cave. He was stunned to find himself among strange new environment outside, the area appeared unknown to him and completely different. There was a silver building nearby with huge mirror-like windows and a parabolic antenna on top. At this point Vladimir saw several people in white overalls running in the direction of a footbridge stretched towards the entryway to the cave. When Vladimir looked down he saw dark cables stretching deep into the cave. The strange people were frantically signaling to him with their hands that he must go back the same way he came. Suddenly a loud whistle sounded from within the cave. Thinking that he had unwittingly walked into some type of experiment Vladimir rushed back into the cave saw it covered in a pulsating bluish light, at that very moment he felt his body floating upwards. He could hear the loud whistle from all around him, he then heard Sergey’s voice from somewhere above him and stretched his hand towards it, he then lost consciousness. He woke up again inside the cave and saw his friend standing nearby. The ground around Vladimir still felt warm. The men then left the caves and came to the conclusion that Vladimir somehow slipped into another parallel world.

On Sunday a local man named Pyetr Tsegelnyi decided to take a walk on Hydropark Island on the River Dnepr. As he walked towards one of the lakes on the island not far from the path, he seemed to be alone in the brushwood. Suddenly he seemed to trip and stumble over a hole on the ground. Suddenly the surrounding landscape had vanished; Pyetr felt a sense of well being as his thoughts seemed to be clear. He found himself standing on a long white narrow road, made out of what appeared to be polished tiles. To his right was a beautiful dome shaped structure with large rhomb-shaped windows. On his left everything appeared to be shrouded in a cloudy mist or fog and he could see nothing through it. Suddenly a medium sized human-like figure wearing a white shirt and trousers appeared from within the mist. Pyetr was apparently unnoticed. Soon two more similar figures appeared out of the mist. The pair walked directly towards Pyetr apparently not noticing or seeing him. As the figures were almost upon him Pyetr attempted to move to one side but did not succeed as the two figures, a man and a woman, walked right through him (!), and apparently without any visible effects both figures continued on their way towards the strange dome-shaped building. Confused, Pyetr took several more steps along the strange road and was suddenly enveloped by a dense fog, using pure instinct he attempted to swat the fog away but suddenly found himself among the bushes in Hydropark Island, not far from the lake. Later Pyetr along with his brother returned to the site and searched the area but failed to find anything suspicious or out of place. Several local UFO researchers in Kiev suspect that this area is some kind of doorway or portal into another dimensional continuum.

18-year-old Norberto Perez was at his aunt’s house for a family reunion when he began experiencing a strong headache and stomach discomfort. He then became very sleepy and decided to go to bed. At the moment that he closed his eyes he found himself in a strange metallic room on a cot-like bed, unable to move. Standing around him were four 4-foot tall humanoids, very thin and wearing tight fitting gold-colored outfits and gold sandals. They had long six fingered hands. Soon a door suddenly appeared in the metallic wall and a tall figure entered the room. This figure was described a man-like, very good looking, with white skin, and blond hair. He was surrounded by a bright light and wore a white long tunic up to his ankles, with silvery sandals. The witness noticed that the man wore a gold colored ring with the image of a pyramid imprinted on it. The tall blond male then approached him and one of the short humanoids handed him a transparent sphere that contained an electronic chip-like device. The sphere was placed over Perez’s forehead, and it floated, then it floated over different parts of his body then it vanished. At that moment the blond man approached him and apparently began communicating by using telepathy since he did not move his lips. He told the witness not to fear. The witness then asked why he was chosen and was told because “he had been born with a special type of energy.” Soon the witness was able to move and he was taken into another room that seemed to be the control center. There he saw three of the short humanoids operating some consoles. Suddenly a huge screen became visible where he saw all the planets align. Then he saw the planet Earth but it appeared to be upside down. Then he saw something resembling a nuclear blast and much death and destruction. He was then warned that humanity was headed in that direction if we did not mend our ways. Another door now became visible and the witness noticed what appeared to be dozens of domed disc-shaped objects, apparently in a huge hangar. The tall blonde-haired person noticed the witness looking at the objects then preceded to touch his forehead with a finger. At that moment the witness found himself back in bed. For three hours afterwards he was in a state of mental confusion.

On their way he took a secondary road that past by an empty airfield, located in an isolated plain. As they drove near the airfield they all noticed a strange triangular-shaped mark on the ground, however they did not stop to investigate. Soon they began hearing bizarre screams resembling those of a woman being attacked or “raped”. Immediately after that they all saw a brilliant humanoid figure at least 3 meters in height, it shone like brilliant metal. Its face was oval-shaped and its eyes almond in shape emitting a brilliant light. Astounded the witnesses watched as the shiny giant creature stepped in front of their car and signaled them to stop. The mother began screaming as the creature turned its head towards them and emitted a brilliant beam of bluish light from each eye. The whole time the driver slowed the vehicle down until it was going a minimal speed. They were able to notice that the creature had extremely long arms; it was of thin build, and was wearing a one-piece shiny silvery outfit. It was totally hairless. As the mother screamed hysterically the creature disappeared in plain sight and everything returned to normal. The witnesses quickly drove away from the area.

Three people, Natalya Gracheva a reporter for the “Crimean Times” and two men, Anatoly and Alexander had gone by boat near the remote hamlet of Partenit and camped near the front section of Ayu Dag, near the high rocky precipices directly above the water. This location was usually used to bake in the sun and to skinny dip. At night while they rested near a lone tree Natalya sensed a strange feeling of worry. She noticed how the air seemed to condense near the water surface, like a cloak of some kind, and strange shadows were crossing the moon. Suddenly Alexander screamed, asking her if she was OK since he could not move, the next moment a bright white light blinded them. Now Natalya was also completely paralyzed. Anatoly, who was closer to the water also screamed. The only thing that Natalya could see was a blinding white light. She lost consciousness and awoke only in the morning. Anatoly was now quite able to move and told a strange story of encountering alien beings (not described). The whole contact lasted about 15 minutes, the aliens apparently communicated by using telepathy and seemed to know everything about him. He asked them for “adequate knowledge” and as he stated, an “abyss” of knowledge, normally inaccessible to humans, was opened before him. He also stated that the aliens cured him from his varicose veins, a fact that was confirmed by Natalya.

In rural Apache County several people were staying at a rural home near Concho and were sitting around the kitchen table when one of the men looked out the kitchen table and saw along with another woman a bright UFO streak by, apparently crashing. The witnesses said that the object left a wake of fire. They jumped into a jeep raced off in search for the crashed object. They crossed State Highway 61 and drove along an old cattle trail and soon came upon an elderly couple that had parked their white van on the side of the road, both were outside staring into the fields. They asked the witnesses if they had seen a UFO crash and they told them they were going to try to find them. The elderly couple had been driving westerly along Highway 61 toward Show Low when they saw the object streak by and appear to crash. The witnesses then drove to the area where the object had apparently crashed. This area had few trees, some scattered cedar and junipers and a lot of rock and canyons. After about an hour of driving they arrived at a very deep canyon and could drive no further. Deep in this canyon was the crashed UFO. It was an oblong, egg shape object. The color was strange—it was the color of Caucasian skin with a fading tan and it faintly glowed. The glow was sufficiently enough to illuminate the bottom of the canyon. There were two “pillars” (for lack of a better word) at the front of the object. These pillars may have been posted on either side of a door—although a doorway was not visible. It was about the size of a barn. Oddly the witnesses also saw a helicopter on the scene and a black pick up. They were baffled as to how the truck could have gotten down the remote canyon so quickly, unless there was some road that they did know about. They watched the scene for a while then left. Apparently none of the witnesses ever returned to the site of the alleged crash.

Debra Hernandez had stepped into her backyard and saw a black creature “with pointed ears and enormous fangs.” It was ripping open a chicken coop and had one chicken in its claws, but when it saw Hernandez, it dropped the bird and escaped through a hole. Five weeks earlier, the witness told reporters that they had lost several fowl. “The chickens were left bloodless.” Their wounds appeared to indicate that their intestines were removed.

A warden traveling down Highway 13 just south of the city saw a figure standing in the middle of the road. He slowed his vehicle as he approached it. He could not believe his eyes as he saw a shiny, green scaly, large figure staring at him. As he got within several yards of it, wings suddenly popped out from behind the creature’s back. The creature went vertical, zooming straight up and passing over the vehicle. It landed on the road behind the warden. To the witness it resembled a winged, reptile man. A group of highway workers also had a similar encounter along the same stretch of highway. They too saw a shiny, green scaly figure standing on the road. As they approached the figure, wings shot out from behind its back. It took off, and to their utter amazement, flew away into the trees.

A lady was camping with her family near the area of Panther Springs Campground when all of the sudden, she smelled a god-awful smell. She walked outside her tent, and about 19 ft away, she saw a tan colored creature with its fist in the air. She said it didn’t seem threatening, more like a greeting. She said it had a peaked head, and large brown eyes, and it “looked highly intelligent.” She said that it “talked in her mind” and told her that they called themselves the “Meikoy” and that they were a race of benevolent creatures from a different dimension. They were here to study humans. And to find out why we were so emotional, etc. They were apparently interested on how we humans reproduced and wanted to remain hidden and not found out. As her family returned the creature ran off into the woods.

Two boys, students of the 5th grade Dmitriy Freyderov and his friend Sergey Boikov were walking on the edge of the village when they saw an object emitting yellow light that circled over the forest for 5 minutes, it then vertically descended and made a landing in the forest about 300-400 meters away from the witnesses. The two boys ran in the direction of the landing site and soon entered a clearing. In the middle of the clearing there had been an area cleared by a bulldozer and there they saw a landed saucer-shaped object. The object was disc-shaped and was about 30 meters in diameter (bigger than a bus) with a smooth metallic silvery surface. The disk had a broad central dome and generally the craft was hat-shaped. A trident-shaped antenna was visible on the top. The general height of the object was estimated at no less than 10meters. The saucer had a flat bottom and it was resting on four broad landing props. There was a line of round openings or lights on its periphery each one about 20cm in diameter which emanated multicolored lights, but these soon died out. The lower section of the dome was circled by similar round lights but these were bigger—about 35-40cm across. The boys did not dare to approach the object, and hid behind some bushes about 30-40 meters from the object. Suddenly three doors opened on the hull, which were of rectangular shape with slanted rounded corners. Ladders descended towards the ground from all three doors. Humanoids wearing silvery suits began exiting the craft, each one taller than the average human, about 1.9 to 2.0meters in height. In total 13-15 aliens came out of the disk. One lone humanoid exited from the right door and judging from his behavior the boys understood that he was the “commander”. The alien’s bodies were normally proportioned and transparent globe-shaped helmets covered their heads. As soon as the humanoids touched the ground all of them performed the same task, identical green plates appeared on their left shoulders and they pressed them this apparently caused the helmets to fold back in some unfathomable manner, somewhere behind their collars, it was difficult for the boys to image where had the globe-shaped helmets gone to. The whole time the boys sat behind the bushes looking at the aliens. The aliens had normal faces, light skin, blue elongated eyes resembling those of Mongol people, elongated faces, with pointed chins, straight thin noses, thin mouths and narrow lips. They had 5 digit hands. On the shoulder of the alien commander were two jutting protrusions resembling shoulder straps. The aliens had short-cut grayish white hair. Eventually the alien commander noticed the boys and glanced at them especially at Sergey. When Sergey caught the alien’s glance his eyes began to ache and when he looked at the alien for a second time his chest began to hurt. Then a voice appeared in the head of both boys, which told the boys that they were here to “dig” out something in the forest and had landed for that purpose. Besides if they wanted it to, the aliens could take the boys for a ride with them as soon as they finished their task. Moments later all the humanoids including their commander entered the forest. They returned 45 minutes later and after approaching the craft the alien commander faced the boys again and both experienced a strange sensation and became concerned that the aliens would take them and inexplicably walked to an area behind the landed saucer and there a big rectangular window opened up in the upper dome area, its cover moving up like a blind. Inside the boys were able to see a control panel and several humanoids sitting around it. Later at about 60 meters from the craft the boys saw the rest of the humanoid entities re-entering the object, the alien commander again used the special door on the right, the ladders were taken back up and the doors closed. The “blind” on the upper rectangular window closed and then multicolored lights switched on along the perimeter of the hull giving off a very intensive light. Soon a fiery red flame appeared in the center of the craft’s bottom, as if emanating from a “rocket” and the object rose smoothly from the ground and gradually began ascending up emitting a whistling sound as it did. The antenna on the dome began rotating and all 4 landing props moved inside the hull and the hull itself began emanating reddish then orange, yellow, bright green and eventually a bright white light. After rising at an altitude of about 1km the saucer stopped and flew horizontally and then it flashed and vanished across the horizon. At the landing spot the boys found a scorched round spot black in color exactly at the place where the flame had shot out from the craft.

During an investigation of the local anomalous zone “Petrozerye” by the “Sirius” group led by K. Vesyelov, a witness, Dmitriy Krutikov saw a bizarre entity jump out of a small forest and then run around in a semi-circle and then again vanish into the forest. The entity moved in all fours. Its front extremities seemed to move up and down and the rear extremities propelled it to jump. The size of the entity was compared to that of a calf, its body covered in dense red fur, which reflected the rays of the Sun. The neck was short and thick, and it had large ears. Dmitriy did not manage to see its face clearly. Tracks and footprints were found at the location where the entity was observed. One print resembled that of a hand, very different from that of a human, the fingers were no longer than 6cm, the largest finger only about 3.5m long. The largest depth of the track left by the palm print was 2.5cm. A second track was 70cm apart from the first one. Its width near the base of the fingers was 17cm; at the heel it was 12cm. The tracks of the feet had four digits. The entity somewhat resembled a bear, but was definitely not one. Members of the expedition also observed several UFOs and flashes of light in the forest.

John Wright was asleep in his second story bedroom when he heard a number of loud crashing sounds from a lot across the street. Because coyotes and the local youth both liked to enter the unfinished houses at night, John assumed it to be common trouble of one type or another. He immediately grabbed his mag light and narrowed a beam over at the location. As he panned over the front of the houses, a pair of red glowing eyes looking directly at him startled him. Assuming it was a coyote John threw his clothes on and armed himself with a 30-06 deer rifle and proceeded to investigate. As he approached the house, he heard a strange mechanical whirling sound, almost like a servomechanism of some kind, only much louder than he had ever heard before. He approached the house and leveled his rifle at the house when a large mechanical robot of some kind came barreling out. The thing was roughly human in size and proportion, but had a large, domed head and flailing mechanical arms, the joints of which appeared to be servomechanisms. Startled, John fired his gun at the machination but didn’t think he hit it. He did not wait around to find out either; he ran to his house and locked the door. John reloaded his rifle, broke out his shotgun and pistol, and barricaded himself in his study. 10 minutes later he heard a car drive up. It was the local sheriff, who came to investigate the shot John had fired. John explained the encounter to a shocked sheriff, who then went with John over to the house. Something had indeed rummaged through the empty house. Construction material was strewn about everywhere and someone or something had drilled many equally sized holes in the wooded planks used to construct the roof.

On a dark cold night the witness was in his room when a bright flash like light suddenly illuminated his room. He opened his window but could not see anything in the dark. Suddenly a kind of a stupor invaded his body and he was unable to move. He seemed to loose control of his movements and against his will his body rose up into the air, and floated out the front door into the darkness. He floated just above the ground towards a nearby wooded ravine. In the ravine he saw a bright blue disc shaped object hovering very close to the ground. The object was completely smooth without any visible openings. It seemed to be only about 3 meters in width and almost two meters in height. He floated to within two meters of the object when suddenly a triangular shaped opening became visible. He floated inside and down a metallic ramp into a circular room. There a pyramid shaped form made out of pure light met him, it seemed to be in constant dynamic movement and appeared incredibly complex. It appeared to be a “living thing” and was about 80 cm in height. The witness felt terrified, as his body did not obey his will. As he floated near the figure he experienced a number of mood swings, from euphoria to extreme sadness. He felt as if the pyramid shaped light creature was feeding of his emotions, he also felt like a trapped lab animal. His body began performing several athletic movements against his will, moving his arms and legs in all directions. At the same time the pyramid of light went through several light changes. Soon he found himself standing about 10 meters away from the craft and saw the light pyramid floating up a ramp and into the object. The object was then encased in a bright red glow and shot up into the air at an incredible speed. The witness returned home on foot.

The witness and her husband were asleep in the bedroom. Suddenly she awoke and saw a small form on the bed darting away from her. It moved across her husband’s side toward the foot of the bed in a sort of sitting/scampering motion. This entity continued on across the room where it joined at least 3 other similar entities that were standing in a sort of huddle next to the wall on her husband’s side. The witness could not move or speak and was only able to look at the figures against the wall. The witness stated that the entities just stood there in the huddle as if watching her. This went on for about 10 more minutes, and then the witness apparently went to sleep. She described the entities as being similar, humanoid form, about 5 feet tall, seemingly thin limbed, large dark slanted eyes, and a teardrop shaped face. They wore dark cloak like garments and dark hats, similar to a Panama. There was no sound, unusual odor or other effects noticed, and no form of communication transpired. The entities skin tone appeared to be light gray. Shortly after awakening in the morning she related the experience to her husband who recalled nothing unusual during the night. Soon they found an orange-brown stain on the carpet at the foot of the bed and a similar stain on the sheet, which was laundered thereafter.

The 32-year old witness had decided to take a walk around the countryside and had sat down on a field to read a book. Suddenly as she sat reading she was aware of a large shadow moving over her. She looked up and was astonished to see a large black triangular craft overhead. It was twice the size of an aircraft and had a white light at each corner. It hovered silently over her. Then suddenly a beam of blue light shot down from the object and covered her. The next thing she felt that she was going upwards, very fast and she felt very sick. She went up very fast and blacked out. Her next memory was of being in a strange building, everything very white and bright. There was also a “funny smell” around. She then saw several strange beings around her that were doing something down near her legs. But she could see or feel anything. She described the humanoids as having black eyes, there was no white to their eyes, they had no eyebrows, no eyelashes, no cheekbones, no ears, no mouth or any facial hair or anything similar to human skin. It was a translucent white skin tone. There was a taller humanoid that seemed to be in charge of the others. This humanoid looked like the others but was about 6 ft tall. This humanoid stood over the witness staring into her eyes and she felt euphoria and happiness. Suddenly her next memory was of waking up in the field at a different spot from where she had been originally. When she got home, 5 1/2 hours had elapsed. Her dogs acted strange around her as she arrived home.

A man & 2 sons were on a remote dirt road 1/4 mile south of their farmhouse when they noticed a strange object hovering over a nearby fencerow. Their vehicle was somewhat suck on the dirt road. The object then moved towards them stopping about 200 feet away. The craft was described as a circular object, with six legs for landing gear. On the bottom of each leg it had what appeared to be a suction cup shaped pod, and on the bottom of the object there was a globe that looked like a light glowing on & off. Three rod-like beams of light protruded from the top of the globe. The craft was metallic gray in color. On the top dome it had four windows that appeared to be tinted. Atone point a rod like object came out from the side of the object, apparently causing the witness vehicle to start on its own. Two of the witnesses were able to see what appeared to be moving shadows behind the tinted windows. The shadows seemed to be moving back and forth or passing by, while one shadow remained stationary in the third window. The object then tipped on about a 20-degree angle and went straight up at very high speed emitting a loud air-displacement sound.

The witnesses had just finished firing off fireworks and had entered a patch of woods away from the pasture to enjoy the warm night for a few minutes. In the woods they noticed a light about 100 yards away. Thinking that it was somebody shooting fireworks in the woods, they walked towards it. As they approached, they saw in a clearing, three triangular shaped objects hovering just above the ground. Lights were pointing down off each point of the triangles. Three strange beings, stood around speaking among themselves in gruff voices. The beings were described as tall and covered with very thick hair that covered their bodies completely. As the witnesses approached, the beings seem to sniff the air and glared in their direction. The beings then quickly ran into their ships, which shot away into the sky emitting a bright burst of light, knocking the witnesses to the ground. The crafts seem to elongate as they accelerated.

Police sergeant Marian Mancu and volunteer police officer Marcel Rusu were patrolling on the main road passing the village in front of the police office. Between the road and the sidewalks, there are deep ditches, with small bridges across them. Mancu lived in the area and told Rusu he was going to eat something at his home. The moment the sergeant passed the corner near his house, he heard a whistling sound from the street and sensed a current of air. He turned immediately back, seeing on the road something, which “splashed blue and red lights, making a sound like voom-voom.” At first Mancu thought it was a police car from the district that had arrived on a routine patrol. Getting closer he realized that the object was hovering half meter above the paved road and a small and very strange figure was moving around it. He yelled for Rusu that was now hiding behind the ditch observing the strange spectacle. Rusu declared that immediately after Mancu had left and disappeared behind the apartment house, “a fluttering from above appeared”. The neon lighting in the street seemed to change in intensity. The object descended slowly, without noise, behind him. He became frightened when he noticed that the object remained suspended above the ground and three small human like creatures were moving around it. As both witnesses agreed, the object had the form of a flat hut, 5-6 meter across and 2 2.5 meters high, and was hovering and balancing at about 1/2 meter from the ground. Around the edge it had a continuous girdle of light “like a rainbow.” The colors, red, and blue changed from each other and flared. At the bottom of the object was a bright white light. None of the witnesses saw doors, portholes or other details. After about two minutes, the UFO rose vertically. At that moment its lights became much brighter, but the neon streetlights went off. The object then rose to about 30 meters and then disappeared towards the east at high speed. Rusu saw the humanoid creatures better as Mancu noticed only one and only from behind. Their height was estimated to have been around 1 meter, maybe less. Rusu said he heard some noises made by the humanoids, “as the rain in the drain pipe.” Both described the creatures as “abortions” or ugly. They had large heads, very elongated behind and covered with bumps, with no hair, and large ears. Their faces were white and they had big eyes. Gray metallic shiny scales, resembling fish scales, covered their bodies. They also had large limp protruding bellies. They had thin spindly arms and no noses or mouths were visible. The witnesses thought that the creatures floated just above the ground and moved around “as if they were drunk.” A huge sweet cherry tree nearby had around 15 % of its leaves affected as by an extreme heat. Other witnesses in nearby villages reported strange lights over the area on the same night.

Hav Tranh had been hiking up a steep slope when he slipped and fell, breaking his leg, a compound fracture with the bone sticking out. He passed out, and when he regained consciousness, there were two huge hair covered creatures hovering over him. The larger one was 7-1/2 ft-8 ft, a gray white color, eyes black with no whites, large sloping forehead, and peaked head-domed, very big feet. The second creature was about the same height, sandy colored gray with a white ruff on top of its head. They were very hairy and he could not see any sex. They were jabbering at each other with their small mouths, but not using “words” but indistinct noises. He passed out again, and did not reawaken until his wife, Gioking, shook him awake, and said two ape-men had carried him out of the forest and deposited him near her. She said they were horribly ugly and added that they had very long hair except on the face, heads and feet. She then took her husband to a local hospital.

A family of four was suddenly awakened by weird noises coming from the trailer’s backyard deck. Grabbing a flashlight, the father went to investigate. Sliding the door open he illuminated the deck’s wooden railing. he then heard a noise that sounded like “something running across the deck, bumping into things.” The noise startled him. Neither of his dogs had barked at the intruder. Shining his flashlight toward the railing, he saw something rear up, and stare at him between the rails. He described it as a kind of rubbery or pulpy object five feet in diameter. It extended a tentacle or appendage through the railing and onto the deck floor. The witness estimated the appendage was”18 to 24 inches long” resembling an elephant’s trunk. He went to wake up his two sons, and then the whole family watched the creature from the trailer’s dining room window. The wife also noticed some bright lights some distance away. Every time the family members aimed their flashlight at the creature it acted in a very defensive manner, moving very fast over the yard, under cars, back under the deck, and apparently changed into a glowing disk at times. At 0400A the main witness left the trailer to look for his dogs, he found them very subdued, one of them had a wound to his hind leg, just inside the thigh and limped as if in great pain. Meanwhile a luminous object hovered over a nearby clearing, shooting off beams of light. The witness was apparently struck by these beams of light on the elbow and the neck. The man and his two sons followed the creature to the family’s parked cars. They then noticed the window of both vehicles covered with some kind of fog or ice, and one of the cars had some kind of electrical hum about it, and the antenna was shaking. They again saw the creature around sunup in a ditch nearby and phoned the sheriff’s Department. (Very weird, shades of the Hopkinvsille siege)

He then noticed an object hovering near the ground, next to some nearby power lines. The object was shaped like a dome & was shiny & metallic, it also had several black glass oval shaped windows. It was about 3 meters in length & 1 & a half-meter in height. On one side of the object he noticed what appeared to be some inscriptions, part of it resembling “IOIO” and from the top of the object there were some cables that were apparently connected to the nearby power lines. Dionisio also noticed a curious fact, if he moved back about 3 meters he could no longer see the object, but once he moved forward again, he was able to see it. Suddenly he saw three figures standing next to the object, these were about six-feet tall. There were two men & one woman. They were wearing tight fitting one-piece silvery outfits. The humanoid’s faces were Asian in appearance, with high cheekbones, very pale skin, and slanted eyes. They had large hands with five long well defined fingers and their mouths were slit-like. They also wore silvery boots. Suddenly the witness felt something strike his chest, looking up he noticed that the woman was signaling him, and one of the men was kneeling down next to the object. Soon he began hearing voices in his head. Frightened he hid behind some rocks, and then he heard the humming sound & noticed the pungent odor again. Coming out from the rocks he noticed that the humanoids and the object were gone. Investigators found ground traces at the site. A mysterious rock was also found at the site. During the same time others in the region saw low flying lights and objects.

Juan Ramon Barrio was on his way to a hotel when he noticed a strange bright light that descended from the sky then followed his vehicle for a couple of miles, then hovered directly over the car. The car suddenly stalled and the headlights turned off. The object descended lower over the vehicle as the terrified witness suddenly saw dozens of small bright spheres floating all around the car. One of the tiny spheres then entered the vehicle right through the windshield. It flew in front of Barrio’s face from left to right. It seem to emit considerable heat, it suddenly flew out through the other windshield and left. Barrio suddenly found himself arriving at his destination unable to account for several hours of time. The next morning he found several mysterious handprints on his vehicle, which he photographed. He took several photos of the car and one of them seemed to show a large head with large black slanted eyes, staring out from the back seat window.

Aged pensioner, Tamara Vasilievna Prosvirina had gone to the village cemetery. Tamara had suffered from psychiatric problems for years and used to gather flowers from the local graves to decorate her bedroom. That evening after returning from the cemetery she had supper and went to bed. Suddenly she heard a strange “voice” in her brain. It requested Vasilievna to return to the cemetery. She got dressed, grabbed a flashlight and went out. At the cemetery she saw huge eyes staring at her from behind the closest grave mound. The pensioner approached the grave and saw a strange creature about 25cm in height. It was obviously not a human being. It had a tiny onion-shaped head that appeared to be composed of five “petals”. The little creature had no ears, huge slanted cat-like eyes, which cover most of its face. The creature could not talk but it began to whistle quietly to attract Tamara’s attention. It probably communicated in this manner in his “home world”. The pensioner took the creature to her home and there began examining the “alien”. The body of “Aleshenka” (the name given by Tamara to the creature) was plump and soft like jelly. The skin was gray and it had dark brown spots on its head. It had no hair, small holes instead of ears and a small flat nose enabled to creature to breath. The eyes were dark gray without eyelids. The vertical pupils in the eyes constantly narrowed and expanded. It had long fingers with small sharp claws. There was no indication of any genitals that would reveal its gender. Interestingly the creature had no navel, which all mammals must have. The woman could not figure out how to feed Aleshenka. Its mouth resembled a tiny hole and had no lips, but it could stretch it widely revealing a complete set of teeth, but a very small lower jaw and a huge scarlet tongue occupied most of its mouth cavity, which disturbed any chewing process. Tamara inserted a caramel candy on the creature’s mouth and it began to suck on it, she also fed it some milk, and water with a small spoon. Soon moist sweat appeared on the alien’s body after eating. The sweat gave off a sweet smell that completely soaked the clothes and furniture. From time to time Tamara would wipe the sweat off with a rag from Aleshenka. The creature remained still most of the time, hardly moving. At times it would seem to stretch its legs. The next day Tamara told all the villagers that she now had a “child” called Aleshenka. At first most people thought it was just Tamara hallucinating. However one day the pensioner’s daughter in law (also named Tamara) came to visit her. After sitting and talking in the kitchen for a while, the old lady mentioned that it was time to feed the child. Her daughter in law followed her into another room and saw the strange creature wrapped in a swaddling band. Later both the daughter in law and her mother saw the creature but did not reported it to the police. They thought if it had been a “human child” they would have reported it to the police. They thought it was some type of animal and therefore Tamara’s pet. However, a neighbor reported Tamara to her psychiatrists and one day an ambulance came and took her to the psychiatric hospital. Concerned, Tamara tried to explain that she had left a child alone in the house, but the doctors did not take her seriously. No one knew Tamara had been taken to the hospital and no one took care or fed the creature and it soon died. After the alien’s death its body began to dry up and become mummified. One man, Vladimir Nurdinov remembered the creature, he used to visit Tamara and reported seeing Aleshenka and after hearing that Tamara had been taken to the hospital went to her house to pick up Aleshenka. But he was too late; the alien was dead, mummified and lying on the bed. Nurdinov took the dead body to his place not knowing what to do with it. Soon the police came to the man’s apartment—he had been suspected of stealing electricity in Novogorny. The police found the body and suspected it was the body of a mummified child and took it for further study. However doctors confirmed that the mummified creature had 20 features distinguishing it from a human being and medical experts rejected the idea that Aleshenka could have been a mutated child. During a second examination other experts theorized that the town of Kyshtym was situated in an area that had been contaminated after the crash of a strange object in 1957. After the crash it was reported that possibly as a result of radiation several human mutations were born in the area. Soon the head of UFO Organization from the town of Kamensk-Uralsky in the Sverdlovsk region, Galina Semenkova took the mummified body to conduct her “research”. She soon dropped from sight and efforts to reach her and the mummified body proved fruitless. But recently Semenkova surfaced at a UFO seminar in Tokyo and explained what occurred to Aleshenka’s remains. According to Semenkova when she was carrying the corpse from Kyshtym to her town a UFO appeared in the sky. Her vehicle engine stopped and aliens (not described) from the UFO demanded the body of their dead comrade and she immediately obliged.

Alaor Bernardes and his 12 year old were working a tract of land with a tractor at the local Tres Barras de Cima Fazenda. As they entered the fenced in piece of land they perceived a strange hairy creature standing next to some nearby woods. The witnesses estimated the creature to have been 1.50 meters in height, with a very strong build and wide chest, it had a large dog-like head with long pointy canine teeth protruding from its mouth. It was dark yellow in color and seemed to move in a strange sideways motion. The figure began walking in the direction of the witnesses and concerned for their safety Alaor and his son drove the tractor in reverse and hid behind some ornamental trees that circled the wire-fenced field. The creature moved a distance of 200 meters in the direction of the fence and the witness at very high speed, strangely it had apparently not seen the wire fence or the witnesses and walked right into the fence falling backwards to the ground. Very quickly it raised itself up and jumped the fence still walking towards the two astounded witnesses. Incredibly the creature had apparently not seen the witnesses yet even though he was just now about 4 meters away. Panic stricken Alaor armed himself with a large rock in case the creature attacked him and his son. At this point the creature perceived the presence of the witnesses and turned staring directly at them. In an apparent aggressive act in bared his teeth and began approaching very slowly towards Alaor. Terrified the witness jumped into the tractor with his son and drove away from the area not wanting a confrontation with such a bizarre entity. As they drove away they looked back and saw the humanoid walking away quickly in the opposite direction it jumped over the fence again and disappeared into the woods.

As he woke up the blinking lights stopped, he kept his eyes opened for a few minutes and then the blinking lights started again. Every time the lights blinked he could see creatures around the bed looking at him, as the lights blinked faster and faster the creatures began to move toward him and one of them put its three fingered hand on his forehead while the others (there were four) started tugging at his covers. The creatures were gray colored with shiny silvery clothing and large heads, with really big black pearly eyes. One of the creatures touched his forehead and a paralyzing fear came over him. Two of the beings then grabbed his left leg and poked his calf on his left leg. They held a strange metallic object with buttons or switches on it, they jabbed his leg and pulled it out. When that was done one of them touched his forehead, looked at him and he perceived a mental message that said: “If you tell no one we will return to visit you.” Then the blinking lights stopped and it became very dark.

They followed the object’s path as it flew at a low altitude; it suddenly curved and released a smaller object that landed on the avenue of Brasilia. They saw a ramp come out of the object and a bright light from inside that illuminated its surroundings. They were both surprised to see three very short humanoids, only about 50cm in height walk down the ramp. These had large heads and were carrying something resembling pens that emitted bright beams of red light.

The witness was driving alone back home to Kansas along some isolated dirt roads when he saw something in the middle of the road ahead about 100 to 150 yards…just beyond the reach of the headlights, just a shadowy figure. Not alarmed, he proceeded slowly, thinking it was a farm animal and that he would have to maneuver around it. As he approached it he first thought that it was a “real big dog” but as he closed in he realized it was a creature that he had never seen before. He could only describe it as a tall werewolf like creature covered in reddish and yellowish hair. It had an evil looking face with a wide mouth filled with teeth that were all long and sharp. Its eyes were blood red, full of evil and hate. The stunned witness stopped the vehicle and stared at the creature for a few seconds and then threw his truck in reverse and sped back as fast as he could. The creature did not budge it just stood in the middle of the road looking as the witness fled the area.

The witness was staying with her 1-year old daughter at a local pediatric clinic since her daughter was suffering from a heavy infection. She was sleeping next to her daughter’s bed in a folding cot. Sometime during the night she felt a presence in the room and suddenly awakened. At first she looked around and did not see anything and closed her eyes again. As she closed her eyes a strange vision appeared. She could see what appeared to be a “birdman” with green bluish resplendent feathers and a small bill. The eyes were larger than normal and its body was human, at least its upper section since she could not see the lower area. Its estimated height was about 2 meters; it seemed to float just above the floor. She opened her eyes and the vision vanished as her daughter slept peacefully next to her. When she closed her eyes, the “birdman” returned as before. She attempted to call out and was unable to. The “birdman” remained staring at her; he leaned over her and spoke to her telepathically telling her not to be afraid. His movements were fluid and quick, it radiated much warmth and security. She calmed down and fell into a deep sleep. Apparently she did not see the “birdman” again.

A young backpacker, Ricardo Machado Oliveira, was exploring a remote mountain cave and while in it apparently blacked out. When he came to, he found himself in a vast underground hangar surrounded by “three distinct species of aliens.” Nearby were several ovoid silvery craft. The aliens told Ricardo that they were part of an alliance of interstellar worlds engaged in observing Earth. Their base under the Serra da Guardunha was one of four such bases. Immediately after hearing this Ricardo blacked out again. When he opened his eyes, he was lying on the ground right outside the cave. (In the 14th century, at the same cave, a little girl from a nearby village vanished for three days. When she was finally found, she told the search party that she had been cared for by “a lady in white”, who had offered her water to drink from a bell. Some have attributed this to a visitation by the Blessed Virgin Mary.)

It had large black eyes and an almond shaped head, no ears, a slit for a mouth and two holes for a nose. It seemed to be about 5 ft 8 inches in length (tall). The witness could not move his neck much so he could not see its entire figure. Both alien and witness stared at each other for a good 5 minutes or so. It didn’t flinch or move. When the witness attempted to scream he couldn’t. He could move his arms but not his legs. He then heard a voice in his head that said, “Don’t move it is already done” or something like similar. Upon hearing that, the witness decided to defend himself and punched it directly on the face. As soon as his hand made contact with the creature, it disappeared. There appears to have been about an hour time lapse and in the morning the witness found marks on his arm and later on his back.

The witnesses had seen at 2000 a huge triangular shaped craft shining some very bright beams of lights towards the ground. The object hovered over the area and was seen to slowly bank revealing a large dome on top. On the underside they could see three small red lights on each apex of the object. Suddenly the object shot away into the distance at the sound of an approaching aircraft. At 2030 the witnesses again saw the huge triangle over the same location, shining down powerful beams of white light. Later some of the witnesses returned back to the area and watched a powerful blue glow appear above a field at about treetop height. In order to obtain a better look they drove down a narrow lane and parked their vehicle. They then saw a large star-like object just above the blue glow that was pulsing & growing larger & smaller alternately. Suddenly they noticed the silhouettes of numerous small thin figures, moving about, one of the figures however was much taller than the others, around seven feet tall. Other small beings moved in amongst the trees in the field. A large black object sat on the ground. The figures appeared to be moving towards the object. At this point the witnesses became extremely frightened & drove away from the area. They arrived at the home of one of the other witnesses borrowing some binoculars. They soon returned to the location & noticed the blue light still glowing. They again saw the little beings moving in & out of the trees. They also saw the very tall being standing with its back to them. Looking at the hovering object with binoculars they could now tell that it was amber in color, with dark indentations all around it. It rotated slowly, occasionally turning on its axis. Dozens of small creatures apparently carrying small boxes and tubular canisters were visible. Taller figures were also seen & described as having brown skin & oriental eyes, that seemed to be supervising a large group of the smaller beings. Using the binoculars they now spotted a large transparent illuminated capsule-shaped object, rippled on the outside with indentations like a brain. The object appeared to be on the ground & there were some very small thin beings inside it. Next to this object was another smaller one, otherwise identical to the first. This one contained a very tall being with brown skin. Another larger craft was also seen on the ground near the woods. There were lots of lights around it and dozens of small entities that appeared to be working in groups, going in & out of the woods. The witnesses also saw capsule shaped objects resembling cocoons coming out of the woods. These objects suddenly shot across the field towards the witnesses, hovering a few feet from them. Each of the capsules contained one of the small entities. They were dozens of capsules now hovering near the witnesses. At this point the witnesses became disoriented and had vague memories of being touched by the small entities with probe like devices. The small entities were described as having huge black eyes, & smiled at the witnesses. They communicated among themselves by making loud high-pitched noises, like whales. The witnesses later remembered leaving the area & returning home in a state of shock. Later while checking the scene of the incident, investigators found circular marks on the ground, burnt & dead vegetation, and branches from nearby trees covered in what appeared to be white spider web-type material.

Two men, Benicio Quintero and Onelio Gonzalez were fishing in an isolated area when they suddenly noticed some rotating multicolored lights that appeared to be approaching their location from a nearby hill. They appeared to descend slowly down the slopes towards the men. Concerned one of the men armed himself with a knife. As they lights approached their location the two men hid behind some brushes and turned off their flashlights. The lights kept descending along very difficult terrain when suddenly they changed direction and apparently disappeared, all without a sound. As the men looked around the lights came on again at a location about 20 meters from them. They could now a see a row of lights and what appeared to be some type of object behind the lights. Suddenly they saw several figures gliding over the ground coming from the object. The figures were above normal in height and appeared not to touch the ground. Curious the men shone their flashlights towards the figures and were able to see about 5 or 6 humanoids. At the same time the multicolored lights rotated behind the humanoids, which seemed to control them. The figures seemed to be wearing tight-fitting dark gray or khaki mesh-like suits. One of them carried something resembling a flashlight. At no time did the men heard any noises but did felt a slight heat or warmth coming from the figures. After the humanoids saw the witnesses they turned around and glided over to an inaccessible area known as “La Palometa.” The humanoids stayed in the area for a long time and the witnesses left before they returned.

81-year-old Joaquim Eloi woke up to see a powerful light shining outside his hut. Looking out the window he saw a brilliant white oval shaped object on the ground nearby. The light from the object was so intense that he had to cover his face with his right arm. At the same time he could hear strange voices coming from the object that sounded foreign to him. After a few minutes the brilliant object took off towards the nearby town. There a husband and wife saw the bright white object hovering above some high-tension wires. They were able to see what appeared to be “numbers” or strange symbols on the craft. At the same time there was a power outage in the region. Eloi’s right arm was numb for almost 5 months after the incident, and unknown if related, he began to slowly loose his sight and is now totally blind.

Dr Jonathan Reed had been hiking for about an hour and a half when his 7-year old Golden Retriever ran ahead of him and disappeared over a rise. He began barking frantically. Dr Reed dropped his backpack and ran up the slope where the fog disappeared. He picked up a tree branch on the way, thinking that he might need it to rescue her form some kind of animal. Topping the rise he saw that Suzy (the dog) had a strange creature by the left arm. The creature was shaking violently in an attempt to dislodge the dog. The dog released the creature and backed away. At the same time the creature extended a “fleshy pseudo pod” around the dog’s muzzle and severely wounded her. Suzy’s tissues seemed to “flow” into this wound. She was consumed in a matter of seconds. Later, Dr Reed could find no trace of her except for a fine white powder on the ground. The creature turned to look at Reed with an expression of what seemed to be pure rage then turned its head back to look at Suzy. Reed ran forward at this point and hit the creature with the branch with all the force he could muster. He knocked the creature back about four ft. The creature lay dead on the ground covered in it’s own blood. Shocked, Reed fell to the ground attempting to compose himself. Finally he remembered the camera equipment he usually carried on his frequent hikes ran back for his backpack and began taking pictures and videotape footage of the creature. A short time later, Jonathan became aware of a strange, low frequency vibration. He surveyed the area and discovered a black (craft like) device floating above the ground nearby. He approached the object and touched it. It was freezing cold and burned his hand. He took pictures of the object. After several hours, Jonathan still very sick, decided to wrap the creature in a survival blanket that he had with him. He decided to take the creature with him back to Seattle. He put the creature in a small freezer he had at home. The creature was described as about 4 ft tall that was capable of moving incredibly fast. It had large bloated eyes, which it was able to open and close, light in color. He also said that the creature emitted a horrifying scream or “shriek” as it fell to the ground. Around the fourth day Jonathan heard noises coming from within the freezer. He opened it and the creature was alive. In a panic he slammed the freezer shut, then called a friend over. Over the next few days he attempted many times to communicate with the creature and did so. He tried to feed it but it refused all food. It did, however drink water. Apparently unknown government agents broke into the house and removed the creature.

It was about 8-9 m in diameter, standing on three landing props. A yellow oval light was visible in the center of the object, which was surrounded by yellow lights. It had an antenna shaped like a “Y”. Two doors opened and ladders were lowered down to the ground. Two humanoids came out of the object. They were of average height, maybe 1.7 m or 1.9 m. They both wore helmets, which connected to their overalls, the helmets opened, but the boy could not discern any facial features or the color of their skin. What was visible was red lettering on their helmets. The aliens began walking towards the village.

Suddenly he found himself floating above his bed, he was unable to move a muscle. At the foot of his bed he then saw three four-foot tall figures wearing black monk like gowns, with hoods, the cloaks appeared to be tied together by a brown piece of string. Their faces were obscured by what appeared to be reflecting glass visor helmets. A beautiful blue light with gold sparkles accompanies the beings. The angle of the light beam is very low and seems to be coming in the window. His next memory was of yelling ‘No!” as one of the beings touches him.

Two farm workers, Silvino Augusto Medeiros, 71, and Bianor Alves dos Santos, aged 49 had just come back from the fields and were at Silvino’s farm when they heard a weird “hissing” sound and suddenly a craft they seemed to think as hexagonal in shape appeared overhead, coming from the east and rotating cables came down upon the head and shoulders of the younger man, Bianor. Like tentacles, these cables, black in color, began to wrap themselves around his head and shoulders and his entire body felt a sensation of intense cold and seemed to be “lighter”. He felt the ground slipping away from beneath him and he was going up, but he managed to shake himself free and escape with Silvino into the farmhouse nearby. Neither of the men got a good view of the UFO, but it remained around for a half an hour or more, for they heard its continued hiss. Then at 1930 hours Silvino slipped out of the house briefly to see to a tap he had left running. There was at first no sign of the UFO, but almost at once the hissing noise was back and it remained around a long time. When Silvino’s son came home, he asked if anybody had heard it. He had heard it from 4kms away. The following day Bianor felt weak and powerless, aching in all his joints and limbs and nauseated.

A local young man named Igor V. Kolomiets (involved in other encounters) claimed that he had been abducted onboard a UFO from his bedroom late at night. He felt paralyzed and was then beamed up from his bedroom into a hovering disk-shaped object outside his bedroom window in his apartment located on Aviamotornaya Street tenement house # 26. While floating in the air towards the object, he succeeded in looking at the object; it was not exactly disk-shaped from the top and only similar to a disk, looking at it from its side. In fact it appeared more oblong in shaped, narrow at the tail, streamlined with a gradual dome on top and a flat bottom. The dome was not even and was more elongated towards the front section. It looked like a perfect aerodynamic structure and was matt-black in color. A number of hieroglyphs or symbols resembling Egyptian scripture were visible alongside the outer rim of the craft encircling the dome, but Igor only remembered the one hieroglyph that was shaped as two horizontal lines, concaved and crossed by 3 vertical lines. He then floated into the opening of the craft. Inside, the object was segmented into several compartments positioned in a radial structure. His body was placed on some type of “operation table” and he noticed several alien beings in the room. He heard their voices even though their mouths were closed (evidently through telepathy). The humanoids were short, about 1.2-1.5 m in height, with beige colored skin, very frail body built, with thin narrow long arms and short legs, the arms were much longer than the legs, they had disproportionably very large heads over their small bodies. The aliens had very large, dark slanted eyes, without visible eyelashes and eyelids (maybe they were wearing some type of protective lid over their eyes), beak-shaped noses like those of birds and small thin mouths. On top of their huge heads they had a small amount of very short black hair, like the bristle or small fluff. They were dressed in tight-fitting overalls, dark in color. According to his impression the humanoids were very aggressive. They conducted a number of painful medical procedures on the witness, apparently studying his body and his mind. Igor understood that they had scanned all of his memory, which included his whole life and even his previous life (!). During the examination Igor could see vivid images from his past. The witness understood that the aliens originated from a star cluster in the constellation of Taurus or Pleiades, he received several mental impulses mentioning the world Pleiades in his mind. Unexpectedly one of the aliens stared in amazement and communicated that the witness had previously incarnated into an extraterrestrial civilization in the Orion constellation. The humanoids appeared shocked since apparently that civilization had been their foe in a distant past and had attempted to enslave them. Immediately after that he lost consciousness and awoke later back on his bed and could not remember anything else.

The human men were still in the room.

The witness asked the alien a question about hybrids and received a very complicated and bizarre answer. (Not described)

9-year old Dawn Smith, who lived on Lake Okanagan, saw a lighted object with green lights down on one side, going up and down in the sky above the lake. The object was somewhat rectangular in shape like a “shoe box” at one time it stopped briefly and a door opened, and a light went on inside. The door closed, and the object went behind a rain cloud, then it came back out and it opened the door again and then a disc shaped object with red, yellow and orange lights came out, it appeared to have a little hook on top. Dawn then added that when the door first opened she saw two dark colored figures standing in the dim light on the interior. She thought maybe the figures were wearing dark uniforms.

A rancher woke up one night after hearing a lot of noise coming from the corral area. He got up and went out to the corral and turned on the lights of his pick up truck. What he saw was a bizarre animal trapped in his predator trap. As soon as the animal saw him the animal tried to attack him but the trap and the chain held it. In the distance the rancher saw another two of the same creatures, kind of running away from there. The creature in the trap was 2 feet long but the two others he saw in the distance were about 4 feet long. According to the rancher they really were not running but taking leaps, anywhere from 10-15 feet. The creature in the trap was described as looking like a large lizard, with a large head, disproportional large for the body. On its back coming from the spine, there were at least 13 vertical spikes that stuck up, 12 inches off the back of the creature, it had a long tongue ending in a sharp tip. Somebody from nearby Texas University picked up the creature in the trap apparently died and its body. Apparently it was never returned.

The witness awoke to go to the bathroom and was on the hallway near the bathroom when she noticed, through a window, bright lights and an associated large object just above the trees on the side of the field, to the north of the house. She went to the laundry room to obtain a better look; she concluded that it must have been a “ship” of some kind. The object appeared to be the size of a house. She watched through the window as it slowly drifted to the south, low over the farm field. As the object approached the farmhouse, she became frightened. She began locking doors and windows but when she reached the kitchen window she felt it was to late. When she reached the kitchen door, it was beginning to open. She tried to force the door to close, but felt a force pushing it open. She was then pushed backwards and the door flung open. As the door opened she observed a white mist or fog roll in. she also felt at this point, that there were lights in the front of the house & assumed this were associated with the “ship”. She then saw entities at the kitchen door. Looking around the door, she observed a hand reaching in from outside. The hand was long and skinny and came in very low, at the level at which a small child’s hand would be. At this point, she also remembered a non-verbal scolding which seemed to say “you know better than to try to resist.” The next thing she remembered was awakening in her room.

He proceeded on and stopped to sit on a rock in order to drink one of the beers. He then heard a loud sound coming from behind him. Turning around he saw a large metallic oval shaped craft landing on a field close to him. The object landed on several leg-like protrusions. Once the object landed a door opened, and a sort of ladder or escalator was lowered to the ground. Then a 2 meter tall humanoid figure stepped out. The humanoid approached Bragatto and in a peculiar language that sounded like Spanish invited the witness inside the object. The witness agreed and was escorted inside. Once inside he noticed that the inside of the object had a metallic bluish sheen to it. Still speaking in the peculiar language, that the witness was somehow able to understand, the humanoid told Bragatto that they were going to take him to their “native planet.” He was given the impression that the planet was “Mars”. Inside the object there was a total of three humanoids, 2 men and a woman. Described as closely resembling humans, wearing loose fitting gray outfits, with several golden medallions hanging around their necks. According to the witness the humanoid’s hair grew from the middle of their heads back, and they had large ears and mouths, making them somewhat ugly. Before leaving, Bragatto was given a medical examination by the beings. His stomach area was probed with several needle-like instruments. On the way to the humanoid’s home planet the witness was given a fruit resembling a “Mamey” (known tropical fruit) and something resembling an empanada. He was also given a bitter beverage to taste that seemed to contain alcohol. In turn he offered the humanoids a beer, which he apparently had taken inside the craft with him. They immediately accepted. Arriving, the witness was greeted by numerous similar appearing beings. He noticed that the “planet” was beautiful in appearance and saw numerous buildings that appeared to be made of a nylon-like material. One of the beings now approached him and told him that it was time to go, that 8 hours had already passed. On his was back to the object, the witness saw a huge television screen which showed strange holographic like images, that included dinosaur like animals. The witness then asked the humanoids when were they returning to Earth, he was then told “We will return when the storms are less intense, since we have already lost five of our aircraft as a result of lighting.” Around 0400A the witness was returned to Earth, he found himself in an unfamiliar field. He then followed a nearby path and reached a village where he realized that the humanoids had dropped him off more than 800 kilometers from his hometown. He went to the police and told them what had happened. A police officer conducting an investigation found a circular ground mark at the field where Bragatto was dropped off by the humanoids.

This stretch of road was considered a good road, in a reasonable state of conservation, but the truck reportedly catapulted mysteriously killing four of its occupants, leaving only two young girls alive to tell what happened. When the two girls had recouped they told an amazing story. According to the girls everything was going well and as they approached the stretch of road near the salt mines the driver and the passengers saw what they children curiously later described as “three dolls the height of young children” jumping up and down with open arms in the middle of the road as if desperately wanting a lift. The driver attempted to avoid the strange trio but the creatures ran in the same direction, seemingly at the same speed of the truck, blocking its passage. In a desperate act the driver of the truck attempted to coast along the embankment but the truck turned over trapping most of the victims inside.
