1947 HUMANOID REPORTS
Compiled by
Albert Rosales
1947 Humanoid Reports. The beginning of the modern era, 1947
brought us "Roswell" and other interesting happenings. But humanoids
had been seen before and crashes mentioned also in previous years.
Methinks Roswell is just the proverbial "tip of the iceberg", are we
talking intergalactic warfare here? Following is a list of known
humanoid encounters for 1947.
1.
Location. Island of
Muck Highland Region Scotland
Date: 1947
Time:
unknown
80-year old Alexander Gunn, an angler saw a mermaid like
creature right off the coast of the island. The being was a female
humanoid in appearance, and sat on a floating wooded box and
appeared to be coming her long blond hair. She plunged into the sea
when she noticed the witness looking at her. No other
information.

Location. Valle De
Santiago Mexico
Date: 1947
Time: morning
A young farmer was
out plowing his field when he was suddenly confronted by a very tall
gaunt looking individual, that resembled an albino and with
distorted features. The stranger told the farmer that he had been
held captive by "humanoids" in the interior of a nearby inactive
volcano. The stranger then sketched a formula on a piece of paper
which he claimed was the secret to growing huge vegetables, he then
walked away and disappeared. The farmer indeed has been able to grow
giant vegetables ever since.

Location. Near Griffith Air Force Base,
New York
Date: 1947
Time: 1300
The main witness, Jackie,
her brother and cousins had gone to a local store to get some gum
and as they headed down the country road Jackie noticed to her left
what appeared to be a bright reflection, similar to a mirror being
held to the sun. Being the adventuresome member of the four she went
off to investigate. What she saw was a large silvery round shaped
vehicle on the ground. She approached the craft and strangely a
fence seemed to have popped up from the ground in few seconds,
surrounding the vehicle. Her cousins tried to pull her but a being
(not described) approached her and without moving its lips asked her
what she was doing there. The being also said that they would not
hurt her. From that point she vaguely remembered her brother and
cousins crying. Her next memory was of seeing her parents and her
aunt walking along the road looking for them. They had been gone for
5 hours. About three or four months after the encounter a gentleman
in military uniform came to Jackie's front door and spoke for a long
time with her parents. She was told never to mention to anybody what
had occurred.

his side. He opened his eyes and saw a tall entity dressed
completely in green. He also wore a cap on his head that shone with
a weak orange light. The entity looked like a "soldier". They boy
was very frightened and awoke his mother. She saw the entity also.
She asked, "Who are you, Why are you here" in a trembling voice. The
entity did not respond. He stood wordless in the same place. The
mother rushed into the children's room grabbed her daughter and hid
her under the blanket. The boy hid under the other blanket. The
woman began asking the alien again who he was and how he had entered
the house. The alien then made a deep breathing sound and vanished
in plain sight. After that there was a bright flash of light outside
the window, like fire and then it vanished.

Anglers
were raising their nets with a catch of fish when they saw an object
floating on the water's surface that looked like a black submarine.
The men were frightened at the object's appearance, saying that it
looked like a monster. They quickly started the boat's engine.
Suddenly a bright light from the "submarine" lit up the whole area
and "little men" began running over the deck of the object. The men
could make out that the little men carried some sort of apparatus
around their waists. They were about the size of a 10-year old boy.
After a few minutes the little men entered the "submarine" which
began to glow so brightly that the anglers could not see it anymore.
It then apparently submerged.

that sounded to her like 'Terra" "Terra"! The witness fainted at
this point and when she came to booth the man and the object were
gone. Other independent witnesses thought there had been a "crash"
of some sort and remembered that US and Cuban military forces had
cordoned off an area and had called for heavy equipment and trucks
to come in. Something of an unknown nature was taken from the site.

Summer 1947
Time: 1100A
The 4-year old witness was outside in
the driveway of her house, which faced at an angle onto the street
corner. All the driveways on the corner faced that way instead of
straight out. She suddenly noticed a strange figure in the driveway
of the house opposite to hers. It was about 6ft tall and was all in
black. It had no arms that she could see and seemed to be
pear-shaped with a large round head and long thin black legs. There
was no face, only a glass-like face striated like a motorbike
headlight. She thought that it was both queer and fascinating. It
was at the same distance from that gate opposite as the witness was
from her gate. The witness took a step towards it and it responded
with a step. With each step the witness took, it seemed to copy the
witness. But it seemed to be getting closer to the gate than the
witness. The witness began to feel apprehensive at it stared at her
with it's glass face. All of the sudden the witness was overtaken by
fear and ran screaming into the house. Her mother went out to look
around but did not see anything, the bizarre creature had
vanished.

shaped craft in a clearing. Several four-foot tall humanoid figures
stood next to the object. These were described as well built,
wearing dark green close fitting coveralls. They had what appeared
to be glossy black hair and seemed to be wearing dark wrap around
visors. The beings seemed to be inspecting the craft and were moving

main witness and his younger brother were resting and reading at a
creek that ran near their home when suddenly they heard a hum, and
saw a silvery metallic object with a dome on top land right in front
of them. A door opened and 5 grotesque creatures emerged. These
resembled praying mantises and wore dull silver body fitted
covering. The main witness stood up as one creature came up to him,
looked at him, & took the book from his hand. The creature then
put his hand on the witness's shoulder and began reading his
thoughts. The creature had large black eyes that appeared to emit a
clicking sound. Soon the creature rejoined the others and they
walked around the object as if inspecting it. The witness then heard
a telepathic message telling him that they were leaving, not to look
up. The object then shot up emitting a deafening noise. Both
witnesses were extremely thirsty after the encounter.

The 12-year old witness was staying home
alone one day when through an open window she spotted a small white
oval shaped craft going over some nearby vineyards where there was
no road. Moments later two men approached the house; these men were
very short and wore white tight fitting garments. They asked for a
glass of water and asked some very strange questions about the
nature of time. That same night the two little men returned and told
the witness to follow them, while her family slept. They led her to
a round object, which had landed among the olive trees. She then
apparently went through an in depth medical examination inside the
object. During that time a normal looking woman with long dark hair
was with her comforting and calming her. The witness feels that
something was implanted in her.

Location. Bahmut Kokchetav Region,
Kazakhstan
Date: end of June 1947
Time: about
midnight
18-year old local herdsman Alexey Romanovich Bodnya from
a nearby collective farm suddenly noticed a brightly lit circle
shining on the grass on the field, somehow resembling a
micro-tornado. Next he heard a loud metal clicking sound and when he
looked up he was stunned to see a disc-shaped object about 25 meters
in diameter, it was bright and shaped like to deep saucers joined
together, with a transparent dome on top 4 prop-like landing legs
protruded from the bottom and moved up and down in rhythm. The disk
had a wide cylinder shaped protrusion on its bottom that resembled a
nozzle about 5 meters in diameter. A bright red-yellow rotating
flame like light was visible inside it. The surface of the disk was
silver, almost mirror like, reflecting the ground and grass beneath
it. Powerful searchlights could be seen on the craft as it
approached for a landing. The disk seemed to be unstable as if its
flight control mechanism had been damaged, unable to maintain a
horizontal position. The witness got the impression that the disk
was going to tumble and crash, but it somehow managed to land
safely. A ladder came out of the object and three aliens descended
from the bottom section of the disk, when the round hatch opened
Bodnya clearly heard metal clacking. The aliens were very tall,
close to 3 meters in height. They looked very much alike almost like
twins. Their faces were elongated, large eyes, rounder than the
humans, long noses, high foreheads, grayish-bluish skin, and thin
lips. They were dressed in silver reflecting tight-fitting overalls
with head covering. One of the aliens was obviously the leader, he
was gigantic in stature with broad shoulders, at least one meter
taller than the other two aliens, he wore a sort of "apron" in front
with a light on his breast area. He was apparently giving orders to
the other two. The giant had even white teeth, wide dense brown,
large beard, and light brown hair, light colored eyes and a powerful
voice. One of the younger crewmembers was obviously in great
distress as a result of their misfortune and was mumbling something
and crying. In a harsh tone the giant leader ordered him to stop.
The witness could not understand a thing but the meaning was
obvious. The transparent dome on top of the disk was lifted up in
order to initiate the repair procedure. While being opened a melodic
vibrating sound was heard. The witness noticed that the transparent
dome was made out of some crystalline substance, extremely strong in
appearance. The witness was also sure that there was a fourth alien
inside the disk, since the alien was leader gave orders to someone
inside using some kind of "microphone". That fourth crewmember was
possibly a female who remained onboard the craft at all times. All
the aliens wore some type of sophisticated device suspended on their
chest area. The leader stood in the center and the other two one on
each side as they conducted the repairs. The stunned witness had
observed the emergency landing and repair of the disk hiding behind
some shrubs with his horse. Suddenly his horse snorted loudly this
apparently gave away his location. The aliens immediately shone a
green beam of light in his direction. He received a clear impression
that he had been photographed. The aliens seemed very curious and
seemed to be enjoying themselves, as they looked him and his horse
over. After that the giant leader looked at straight at Bodnya's
eyes and the 18-year old was suddenly able to hear the alien's
thoughts. The alien leader reproached him for hiding from them
instead of greeting them like guests. His glance displayed kindness
and understanding. He informed Bodnya that their craft had
apparently been damaged by a lighting strike that affected their
flight control mechanism. Bodnya then said, "I invite you to eat,
you must be hungry, I know what hunger is from my childhood." The
alien responded, "I see, I see, you are small but brave, and who is
that (pointing at the horse)." That's my horse Serko responded the
witness. The alien then told the witness that he was frightened of
the horse and to leave it behind since he wanted to speak to him
alone. The boy roped his horse and the giant alien took him by his
hands and sat him on the rim of the disk. Bodnya got so close to the
alien that he was able to listen to it's heartbeat. Soon Bodnya
noticed a wolf slowly approaching his horse and yelled at the
leader, "Look a wolf" In a moment the leader stretched his hand and
emitted some kind or thunderous beam that killed the wolf instantly.
Where are you from? Asked Bodnya. The giant answered by pointing at
the sky and said, "From there". Is there a God? Bodnya asked next,
"A God? maybe" answered the giant, who then asked Bodnya what was he
doing there alone. He explained to the giant that he had been
pasturing the bulls and horses. Next Bodnya asked if he could look
inside the craft, he was allowed to. Looking in he saw a long
corridor leading inside the craft, some frame-like walls and noticed
that the ceiling was very high. He walked several steps into the
craft but felt intense heat and nausea and could not continue. The
giant then said, "Come here" The boy then rushed back and fell on
the alien's arms, he could not remember what happened next, he
apparently lost consciousness and woke up again sitting on the grass
looking at the repair operations. He was sure he had been examined
onboard and implanted with some type of device. The rest of the
night he watched the aliens finishing up their repairs. Bodnya
noticed that the inner structure of the craft appeared very
complicated filled with sophisticated equipment. After finishing
their repairs the aliens left behind a small cross-shaped metallic
fragment, which the witness buried on the edge of the field
intending to dig it out in the future. Unfortunately he was never
able to return to the site and eventually moved to the Crimea. The
fragment apparently is still in the area now. The disk rose up and
zoomed up to the sky at incredible speed disappearing from sight in
a moment. Clear landing traces were left, observed by the other
collective farmers whom he brought to visit the place the next day.
He was threatened not to tell anyone of what he had seen. In 1990
while living in the hamlet of Molodezhnyi in the Crimea the witness
one night was sitting down drinking tea when he was suddenly
enveloped by the same green beam of light he had seen years earlier.
At this point the witness was able to ensue telepathic contact with
aliens, this was possible because he had been implanted with a small
communications device in 1947. The aliens informed Bodnya that their
planet was sterile and that they were vegetarians and that they had
a base on the moon, which was covered with a transparent glass dome.
They expressed contempt towards the human race and refused to reveal
the location or name of their home planet. They confirmed to the
witness that there was life after death and predictive coming
catastrophes that would affect humanity. When Bodnya asked them why
didn't they contact humanity openly, their curious answer was, "Why
don't humans contact those in an insane asylum?"

Time: night
Five-year-old
Percy Galloway reported seeing a movement in the sky. At first he
thought it was a comet when it suddenly made a sharp right directly
towards the witness and hovered about a foot above the ground 200'
away from him. The witness stood his ground and did not run away. He
described the object as circular, about 72' in diameter, with domes
on top and bottom. It had a black matte finish. It emitted a soft
musical tone type sound. At the same time a fog-like mist, danced
around its circumference. After a moment a brilliant light burst
from the craft towards the witness, which had to cover his eyes with
his elbow. When he took a peek he saw a large square door that
seemed to implode, and there before him, stood a tall, human looking
man. He had platinum silver gray hair and very deep blue eyes and
was dressed in white tights and a thin gold belt. He radiated a
warm, benevolent feeling of love. He said, "Percy come to me." The
witness did, carefully but unafraid. As he approached to within 20'
of the man, he was convinced that he was kind, gentle and a loving
person. He spoke to the witness without moving his lips and before
he could form a question to ask him, he said, "Percy, we speak by
means of telemetric---much like what you humans call telepathy." The
stranger told Percy that as long as he was in his presence, he could
speak to him the same way. Every time Percy tried to speak, his
thoughts were read before he could mouth his words. Inside the
craft, they walked down a cool, cave like hall. There was soft,
white light everywhere but Percy could not tell where it was coming
from. They entered a room in which 30 men worked on instruments.
They did not notice them. Percy asked if he could go on ride on the
craft. He was then taken to a control center where the man raised
his hand in the air with the palm closed. The metal of the craft
became as transparent as glass. The witness could see space. The man
pointed to the planet Earth, which was about the size of a baseball.
He told Percy that they were moving close to the speed of light and
that they were going to move faster. He was taken to a special
protective area of the craft due to the acceleration. He was placed
in a room with a greenish blue light. He stood upright and although
he could not move, he was aware of everything around him. A short
time later they arrived at a mother ship, which was stationary at
the edge of the solar system. The craft entered an opening in the
mother ship. The crew and Percy left the small craft and were
greeted by two human looking people. There were dozes of others
present. As they walked down a hallway, Percy noticed three humans
going the other way---a young white teenage girl, an old man, and a
white male about 30-years old. They entered a room in which a ritual
was about to start. Fifteen or twenty human looking men and women
dressed in tight white pants and loose blouses stood in a circle. He
felt that there was a leader present but he could not tell who he
was. The participants stood with faces toward the ceiling, their
eyes closed and palms opened outward. As Percy watched, each
person's body took on a golden aura. The being then took Percy to
another room. There he was offered white chips and crackers and a
blue liquid to drink. Then he went to another room where he sat on
high backed chair that looked like metal but was soft like cotton. A
metal headset with two triangles on it was placed on his head. He
was told that he would be able to read and understand what was on
the viewing screens. The screen then lit up with images that moved
at lighting speed. He saw medical data and formulas. It was like
looking into the future. He was told that he would not remember
anything---that it was a time capsule. Later he was returned to
earth and while hovering 500' above the ground he was lowered to the
ground within a blue beam of light.

22-year old Andrew Cherry waited at his usual
bus stop close to St Johns School in Baileyfield Road. Glancing
skywards, he caught sight of a strange object, disc-shaped with what
looked like a large glass dome in the style of an observation
window. The UFO was hovering about 300 ft above the ground, close
enough for Cherry to get a clear view of its humanoid occupant. The
"alien" was wearing dark clothes and was sitting or standing beside
a control panel of some kind. He also noted the marked metal texture
of the spacecraft---"like rough diamonds"----and the orange yellow
color, which he thinks was simply a reflection of the sun's rays.
The area around the object looked hazy, possibly owing to the
object's energy source. Cherry could hear a low, smooth hum, which
he associated with the flames he could see escaping from the disc.
The object suddenly tilted, spun away and disappeared over the Fife
coast in a matter of seconds.

Close
to the eastern border of White Sands missile test range a large
lenticular disc-shaped craft, 99 ft in diameter, with a dome on top
and a small rim, crashed. US radars tracked it for a long time; it
was flying very slowly, apparently the pilots died out of
decompression long before the disk crashed. 5 short aliens, all
dead, were found at the site. There was a small hole in one of the
portholes. The craft was moved to Muroc AFB and later to Wright
Patterson and moved to Hangar 18. The aliens were about 1.0m-1.2m in
height, gray type with 3 webbed fingers, lizard-like skin, which was
originally bluish-gray-green in color but the color was distorted
since all were badly charred. Their origin was later established as
star MD-5015 on top of Cassiopeia Constellation, 60 light years
away. Several other craft from that same civilization have also
crashed.

According to Gerald
Anderson when he was 5 years of age, him and several other family
members were out rock hunting in the desert area, when they came
upon a gully near a shallow arroyo and saw an object that appeared
to have impacted on a small slope. Curious, himself and his cousin
walked towards it and noticed that one side of it seemed to have
been ripped open, there was a lot of debris scattered around. They
also saw four apparent occupants of the craft. One was sitting next
to it and was apparently alive. Soon other witnesses arrived; some
were college students from an Eastern university. But soon several
armed military personnel arrived, these made threats to all those
present and made them leave the area. The beings were described as
wearing two tone gray uniform like outfits and small in stature.
They had slightly lager heads than humans and huge bluish eyes;
their skin was very pale. The hands were also long and slender. Two
of the beings were apparently dead, one injured and the fourth was
alive and appeared terrified. No sound was heard coming from them.
This is probably one of the several crash retrieval incidents that
occurred in the same area about the same time.

W D Secrest was hunting turtles in a
creek when he saw three flying disc shaped objects over the area.
Scared at first he hid behind a tree. He then noticed one of the
discs descend and hover over a nearby field. He was able to obtain a
good look at the object & was able to see a cockpit with two
pilot-like figures inside as the object tilted. He also noted a
black hump behind the cockpit, which he believed housed the engines.
The other two discs remained high in the air, while the lower disc
apparently surveyed the field. It suddenly zoomed upward, took a
leading position in front of the other two discs and all three took
off at incredible speed.

Hearing a whistling
sound, Jose C Higgins, a topographer, saw coming down a lens shaped
object with surrounding flange; it landed 150 ft away. It was of
gray white metal, about 150 ft in diameter with a 3 foot rim, and 15
ft high, "crossed by tubes in several directions," the whistling
coming from these. Metallic legs, which bent a little, supported the
craft. Walking closer, he saw through a black glass window 2 persons
watching him; a door opened beneath the rim, and there emerged 3
people enveloped in inflated transparent suits, with metal boxes on
their backs. They wore shirts and shorts, which looked as though
made of paper rather than cloth. Their heads were almost hairless,
their eyes round and large, and their legs relatively long; they
were nearly 7 ft tall. All 3 looked identical. They spoke in an
unknown language, and he noticed that they kept in the shade except
for brief periods. One, pointing a metal tube at him, motioned
Higgins to enter the door, through which he could see an inner door
and the end of a "pipe." Using gestures, Higgins asked where they
came from. One drew on the ground a dot (the sun, "Alamo" in their
language) surrounded by 7 circles, and pointed alternately to the
seventh circle (called "Orque" Uranus) and to their craft. Not
wishing to go there, Higgins showed them a picture of his wife,
indicating that he did not want to leave her, and the allowed him to
go. From the forest he looked back to see them "playing like
children, jumping in the air and throwing enormous stones." After
half an hour, having "carefully examined their surroundings," they
re-entered and the craft took off.

Six Native Americans discovered a still
smoldering metallic disc shaped object that had apparently crashed
in the desert. Inside they found an alien creature (not described)
that was injured, but still alive. Hearing the approach of military
troops, the men decided to keep the being from capture and care of
him themselves. Taking him to their home, they found the being could
communicate with them through a crystal device that conveyed images.
The Indians called the being the "Star Elder".

Ascending a mountain stream, the
Chiarao, R L Johannis came upon a 10-meter wide lens shaped object
of red burnished metal, wedged into a rock crack so that it stood on
edge. It had a low cupola bearing a thin telescoping antenna like a
car radio's but no openings. Seeing two "boys" 50 meters away, he
called out to them, and began to approach them. When within 25
meters, he saw that they were midget-sized beings not over 3 ft
tall, wearing dark blue overalls of translucent material, with
bright red belts, collars, and cuffs. Their large heads were covered
with broad tight fitting caps. They had immense round yellow green
eyes with vertical slit pupils, and a mere slit of a ^-shaped mouth,
which kept opening and closing. Their skin was dull greenish; they
walked like robots, with arms hanging. After a couple of minute's
stupor, Johannis waved his geologist's pick and called out, asking
who they were. At this one raised his hand to his belt and a thin
puff of smoke received was emitted; Johannis found himself flat on
the ground, paralyzed, feeling as if he had received an electric
shock. He saw one of the beings pick up his pick, with a green hand
that had eight fingers, four of them opposite like our thumbs. Then
with small steps they slowly walked to the saucer. A few minutes
after they entered the rock crack, the disk rose vertically to about
15 ft above the ground (still on edge, "like a gong") & hovered
there, while Johannis tried to get up but fell back again. The disc
tipped a bit, and then took off, with a blast of wind that rolled
Johannis into the stony riverbed. It was more than 2 hours before he
felt able to walk home. When he unpacked his pack, he found that the
aluminum objects in it were missing. At this time he had never heard
of flying saucers.

shafts---what you might call an outcropping---and a small hill, and
we went up there and the three of us could look back and see
everything that was taking place." There was a large aluminum
colored dome shaped object, which was roughly the size of a
house---it was measured to have been 36 feet in diameter. They could
see pitched buildings---tents---and men moving about. Supposedly
there were a couple of small humanoids---about 4 and half feet tall

Sight Unseen : Science, UFO Invisibility
and Transgenic Beings
- Budd Hopkins,
Carol Rainey
...In Sight Unseen, Budd Hopkins and
coauthor Carol Rainey show how fascinating discoveries
in modern science support the plausibility of the UFO
phenomenon.
Featuring sixteen
never-before-published cases, Sight Unseen probes two
newly uncovered patterns in alien abduction: cases of
UFO 'invisibility' and reports of genetically altered
alien beings who interact with humans during their
routine lives.
The 'invisibility' accounts
detailed by Hopkins include numerous daylight abductions
in densely populated urban areas -- all apparently
unseen and accomplished through a technology of
invisibility...
