1952 Humanoid Reports. The year of the Washington DC overflights. The first
year that a well-documented UFO flap was reported, mostly in the USA. Memorable
incidents were reported again mostly in the United States. Following is the list
of known humanoid encounters for the year 1952.

Adamski “Scoutship”

Location. Edwards AFB California
Date:
1952
Time: unknown
A “reliable” person in a technical position was on
radar duty when he saw a UFO descending rapidly across his radar screen. When it
was confirmed that the UFO was down the captain on duty told him that he hadn’t
seen anything. Later the radar operator learned that an object had crashed in
the desert. It was more than fifty feet in diameter with a row of portholes
around the center. It was also said that it contained a crew who were
approximately four and a half feet tall. The ship, the debris, and the bodies
were shipped to Wright-Patterson AFB.

Additional information on this
case:
According to researcher William Hamilton III a man named “Frenchie” was
stationed at Edwards AFB when he was called out of his barracks along with
others because something had crashed just south of the air base. When he got to
the site, he was not allowed to get any closer than an outer established
security perimeter, but could see men lifting up large chunks of metal. Sheets
of metal were all over the crash site, but no engine or fuselage was visible.
Frenchie said they had to cut out a piece of a C-47 to enlarge its door to fit a
large piece of the retrieved material into the plane for transport. The large
piece was lightweight and was lifted by two men. A lot of the debris from this
crash was supposedly transported to the Air material Command at Wright Field,
Ohio (now Wright Patterson AFB). The engineering division at Wright Field called
T-3 had already concluded that the UFOs were advanced aircraft or spacecraft,
which used non-conventional methods of propulsion and were constructed from
composite layers of lightweight material. It was the opinion of the General
staff that the unidentified objects were interplanetary
spacecraft.

The witness had been skidding with
a horse when he saw a domed disc shaped object with windows land on some brush
nearby on three metallic legs. A strong rush of wind accompanied the object. A
long ramp descended from the object and three men wearing shiny silvery
coveralls emerged. The men looked very human and spoke in an unknown language
and took interest on the witness horse, which acted frightened during the
encounter.

Mr. Nellie Thomas was taking an
after lunch stroll among the sand dunes encountered a shiny metallic object
partially concealed among the dunes. He went nearer to investigate and saw
several men standing on top of the now discernible disc shaped object, one of
the men who was apparently the leader or captain told him not to get any closer
that he could be injured by the strong rays emitted by the craft, since he
wasn’t wearing any protective clothing which was recharging itself with the rays
of the sun. They also told the witness that they were concerned that the earth
was on a self-destructive path. The men looked very similar to humans and told
Thomas that they had been visiting the earth for hundreds of years. They told
him the name of their planet but he could not remember.

A young couple walking near “the old

sudden silence in the area. Petrified the witnesses do not dare move. Soon they
heard muffled whispers and voices coming from behind a nearby hedge in a
language that they cannot understand. The terrified witnesses remain still,
holding their breath as long as the “conversation” goes on. Then, just like the
beginning there is a terrific crash and silence. Possible ground traces were
found the next day.

Helge Nystrom, a
farmer, was cleaning a ditch on his property when he looked up and saw a cigar
shaped object with wings, land 50 meters away. As he watched the object, a small
man, about half a meter tall, came towards him, walking along a ditch bank. The
man looked like a round football in his outfit. As the humanoid caught sight of
Mr. Nystrom he ran to the “cigar” as fast as he could. The witness then hid
behind some willows. A few seconds later there was a sharp explosion, like a
blasting discharge, and when the witness looked up both the object and the
little man were gone. There were no traces left at the site.

While employed as a rigger on this remote island, Eldon L. White
was wandering around looking for Blue Fox Burrows on his day off, when a
whirring whining sound caused him to look up. About 300 feet above him, falling
leaf-like towards the water was a gray, bat-shaped craft. It was about 30 feet
across. The leading edge of its wings was spaced with round openings emitting a
greenish yellow glow. Top center of the wing was a dome emitting a greenish
yellow glow. Top center of the wing was a dome emitting a pulsating red glow
from inside. Underneath and aft (rear) of the wing was a long rod or shaft.
Around 75 feet above the water this craft commenced hovering for a few seconds,
then fell off into a steep angled glide and disappeared beneath the water. The
witness gaped and waited quite some time for it to surface---but it never
did.

After seeing a bright object
hovering over a road a family drove home to their farm to be later awakened by a
bright white light that surrounded the house. The pet dogs became very quiet. A
little man-like figure then approached the window and knocked on the glass. The
father went to the window and saw a 4 ft tall man; wearing a helmet with visor,
he could see eyes behind it. The father noticed something peculiar about the
eyes, it seems that the large black eyes were only but a cover of some sort over
the actual eyes, which moved and blinked from behind the dark lenses. It
appeared that the skin was a sort of covering or uniform as well. The family
became scared and hid under the blankets. Apparently they did not see the little
man depart.

An airline pilot,
Chaskov, sleeping in a beach cottage was awakened by an explosive noise and saw
a bright blue white light outside. In the morning his grandmother, Mrs Chaskova,
told him that she had gone out to investigate this and had seen a large number
of objects like “inverted soup-plates,” lit up by an orange glow, hovering just
above the ocean. She watched them for half an hour, during which time she saw
two human figures emerge on to the top of one of the discs and remain standing
there for a while. Then they re-entered, and the vessels took off, one after the
other, at tremendous speed.

Driving northwards to Lima on the Pan
American Highway, “C.A.V.” saw near Lomo De Ballena a grayish, shining metallic
disc hovering a few feet over the desert; he stopped and ran toward it. An
opening appeared and there emerged 3 “mummy like” beings about 5 feet tall, with
joined legs and a single large foot. They had no faces, only a sort of
transparent jelly with a bubble in the middle. They wore no clothing, but had a
“towel-like” skin. They asked, in English, whether they were in North America;
on being told that it was South America, the voice switched to Spanish. They
asked C.A.V. to “take them to his chief,” and said they came from another star
and concerned about atomic energy dangers. They said they were asexual and
reproduced by fission; during the conversation, one actually did so. They
invited him into the craft, which was transparent and contained no machinery,
and took him on a flight down the coast. C.A.V. repeated the story under
hypnosis.

The witness who was staying at an isolated stone building near the
main house was awakened in the middle of the night by the sounds of her dogs
growling. She went out to investigate followed by the dogs. Near another smaller
stone building she came upon three giant human like figures and a smaller normal
looking human. The human spoke perfect French and communicated with the witness,
acting as a translator. The giant humanoids were well-built and dark
complexioned, somewhat resembling “Hindus” one appeared older and seemed to be
the leader. He had a half marble on his forehead and wore around his neck a
strap holding a box with buttons. The “normal” human claimed that the aliens
originally took him years ago when he had an encounter. The older giant
explained that they had originally introduced the first human colony on earth,
but as a penal colony. Later they showed her their craft that had been hidden
nearby. It was huge and shaped like a straw hat, and hovered silently just above
the ground. The witness was given various demonstrations of their ability to
levitate and dematerialize objects. Before leaving the giants told the witness
that they had come to take vegetation and mineral samples in order to evaluate
the consequences of atomic explosions. The witness claimed numerous psychic
experiences after the encounter.

a large craft of several hundred feet diameter crash-landed in the area,
clipping the top of a hillside and leaving a gouge in the valley floor before
coming to rest. Apparently some undescribed humanoids survived the crash and are

An object with many lights flew parallel to the female witness vehicle
for several minutes. Then the car came to a gradual halt on the side of the
road. The witness then found herself inside the craft not remembering how she
got there. She was then thoroughly examined by smallish gray creatures with
large eyes. Something was inserted into or behind her ear. She was not afraid
and saw “things on the walls, which weren’t maps.” She assumed that they were
celestial charts. There was a three-hour period of missing time.

Mrs. Ann Sohn looked out the
window and saw a luminous disc shaped object hovering over the vacant lot beside
her house. Along its side ran a row of square windows, and on top was a
transparent dome; beneath it was a cloud of green glowing vapor. The body of the
craft was white luminous, the windows dark, except for the last 3, inside which
was a very intense white light. In each of these windows a man was visible, 2
facing Mrs Sohn and the 3rd in profile. They were wearing parka like coveralls
with hoods or headpieces. She watched for 3-5 minutes, then the men were seen to
move levers; the ship became a brilliant red orange, and then departed at

he drank from it, it relieved his unpleasant sensations. After a short

The anonymous witness’s headlights illuminated a silvery, “cloud-like”
egg shaped object about 8 ft wide and 4 ft thick, some 12 ft above the ground.
It sank to the ground and a 3-foot being emerged, which the witness at first
took for a child. He got out of his car and confronted, a few feet away, a being
with light green complexion and silvery clothing, who asked him telepathically
for help in “putting their ship aloft.” Witness asked for “a formula for steel
that would not rust” and was given “a formula for regular rim steel, but
including the word ‘Unimic’ The being gave his name as “Tamarak” and said he was
from “the eighth or tenth planet from your source of energy.” The witness was
ordered back into the car, and the UFO took off, out of sight in

A man named Ivan Sergeevich K, a young boy at the time
was spending the night at a Gypsy encampment when suddenly a strong wind arose,
which frightened the horses causing them to scatter into different directions,
their owners rushing after them. Ivan was left alone sitting around the bonfire,
accompanied by an elderly Gypsy woman. Suddenly there was a bright flash of
light from the nearby glade in the forest. The light was compact in nature and
it rose above the ground, like a dome. Three strange entities then walked out of
the light, they were human-like but with huge featureless heads. Maybe they were
wearing some type of helmet with a transparent frontal section, but the witness
could not be sure. The humanoids wore tight-fitting outfits. One of the
humanoids was above 2 meters in height, the second shorter and the third also
shorter, about 1m70cm in height. The humanoids approached the fire and sat
around it, exchanging words among themselves using strange hissing sounds. The
aged Gypsy woman watched the aliens and took out a clump of “dust” from her
knapsack and threw it into the fire. The fire then began to crack loudly. One
alien attempted to approach the fire but the woman threw more dust into causing
the fire to sparkle loudly, surprisingly this seemed to frighten the humanoids.
During the next 15 minutes the humanoids and both witnesses sat across each
other by the bonfire, staring at each other through the fire. Finally, the
entities walked back to the lighted dome and soon the strong wind rose again,
this time obviously emanating from the dome. Soon a lighted globe-shaped object
zoomed up from the meadow and vanished.

Walking home from a movie,
Carl Haynes heard “weird music and singing,” which proved to come from “the
brightest lights you ever saw” down on the far side of the creek bank.
Approaching to within 75 yards, he could see four or five little men dancing and
singing around a shiny aluminum like object with open door, from which the music
came. It looked like “2 saucers stuck together,” with a central dome around
which rotated very brilliant multicolored lights; in their hands they held
something resembling guns. Within 10 minutes they stopped singing, and began
putting things in the “space ship.” He thought they had detected his presence,
and “would have done something about him” but for the creek between. They went
back in, the door closed, and the UFO took off “straight up in a kind of
corkscrew motion,” with a whistling sound, becoming brighter as it took off. The
whole episode took nearly an hour. When Haynes revisited the spot, he found 4
impressions of balls, and a deep sunk spike mark in the middle. Also, there were
many narrow “heel-less” footprints in the dust. Another man (now deceased) had
also seen the lights and heard the music.

A local
elderly pensioner suffering from insomnia was spending one of his sleepless
nights in his one room house when he suddenly looked out the window and was
amazed to see several humanoid figures in the garden plot of his female
neighbor. The strange figures were tall and amazingly appeared to be “horned”.
The frightened man switched off the light and hid in the house. In the morning
it was noted that all the apples on the neighbor’s trees had been removed from
the trees. After this incident rumors began circulating in this town and from
neighboring villages of strange horned entities that were stealing food. Most of
the reports concentrated around an ancient fortress located in the town. The
fortress is said to have underground passageways and according to a local legend
these or similar entities used to live somewhere underground and visited the
surface periodically using several well hidden and camouflaged tunnels. There
was also talk about a UFO crash in the area in some distant past (probably deep
into the water of the Black Sea) and of Ufonauts hiding under the ancient
fortress. These horned humanoids reportedly do not appear during the daylight
hours, apparently they can’t tolerate bright sunlight (allegedly they live in
humid and marshy locations in their planet with a damp climate, or underground
and their sun in their planet is probably much dimmer that the earth’s sun).
Others indicate that there is no connection with a UFO crash since these horned
entities have been reported in the area since ancient times. Another legend says
that a sanctuary to the Egyptian God Ra was located deep below the fortress and
the priests who worshipped there wore horned caps.

The witness was
walking along a desert trail looking for interesting rocks when she noticed a
ball of fire in the sky that descended and disappeared behind a nearby mountain
ridge. The witness walked towards the direction where the light had gone down
& then stopped to pick up a sparkling rock when she noticed a small gray man
walking towards her saying “Do not be afraid” apparently using telepathy. The
witness then apparently fell asleep. She woke up later lying on an examining
table in a small room illuminated by a fuzzy light. Four little gray humanoids
with large baldheads and huge bulging black eyes were examining her with
instruments. They pulled down an apparatus with a light from the ceiling and ran
it up and down her body. A small device was apparently planted in her ear and
one in her abdomen. She was also shown a book with strange symbols and a scene
with stars in a large 3-dimensional viewing screen.

witness attention being directed to the sky by a woman, he saw “what looked like
a daylight moon lowering itself through the haze.” It stopped and hovered for 30
seconds, then rose & disappeared. A few minutes later, looking from a car
window, he saw it again (now seen to be “oblong”), hovering over the Alco
Company. “Then a gondola seemed to lower from the object”, and he could see what
looked like “a bunch of Navy officers in Navy white hats,” all wearing huge dark
glasses, rushing to the windows. Red lights were flashing behind them. Then the
“gondola” was withdrawn, and the object rose. 3 round, smaller objects appeared
and entered the “dirigible” from the bottom. He mentioned it to his companions,
but when they looked out it had vanished. Each time he saw the object, he noted
“a very strong smell of ozone.”

the clearing encountered a hovering shiny disc-shaped object with luminous
portholes encircling a central dome. The craft hovered very close to the ground
but did not actually touch it. Three 1-meter tall humanoids stood about 10
meters from the UFO. The humanoids had large eyes, large heads, long arms, small
mouths and pointed chins. The humanoids approached the witness and communicated
with him in an Indonesian dialect, explaining to him that they hailed from a
planet called “Homan” located in the star system called “Wolf”. Before leaving
the small humanoids collected some tree branches and other ground samples and
then walked back into the object. As the humanoids disappeared into the object
there was a very bright explosion of light and the object vanished.

Going to the river Serchio before
dawn to fish, Carlo Rossi saw hovering over it a circular object, apparently
drawing up water through a long tube. It was black, with oval openings around
the edge, and in the center a transparent tower 6 meters in diameter and
extending 3 meters below the disc. In this were 4 thin tubes attached to a
central cylinder, and a bluish flame was passing between these tubes. Under the
disc were 5 equidistant propellers, and on top 3 concentric cones. The only
sound was “like silk rustling.” From a porthole in the turret a human face
looked out, and stretched out an arm toward Rossi, who threw himself over the
ridge of the bank. He saw a green ray projected above him, and felt an electric
like shock. Then he saw the UFO depart “at frightful speed.” 2 months later, he
encountered there a very thin & tall angler with a peculiar accent, who
asked him if he had ever seen any sort of aircraft over the river, and gave him
a peculiar cigarette that immediately made him feel faint. The stranger grabbed
the cigarette from him, threw it in the river, & hastened
away.

Truman Bethurum had finished his work and decided to visit a nearby
hilltop because he heard the ocean once covered it and left deposits of
seashells. When he parked his car he used a flashlight to hunt for seashells. He
had no success during an hour or so of searching, so he returned to the truck
and slept awhile. Suddenly a “mumbling around the truck” awakened him. The
mumbling was unintelligible. Bethurum looked out the window and saw “eight to 10
small men, all about 4 feet 8 inches to 5 feet high.” They were not dwarfs but
fully developed men, said Bethurum. The strange men made no effort to molest
him. Bethurum said he was afraid to attempt a getaway. He was still in the truck
cab. One man spoke to him in a foreign tongue. Bethurum shook his head,
indicating he could not understand. Then the small man said: “You name it.” It
was perfect English, recalled Bethurum, who answered: “My God, you can speak
English, too?” “We have no trouble with any language,” replied the man. Bethurum
then climbed out of the truck and stopped, awestricken. He saw a flying saucer
parked about 75 yards away from his truck. It looked like burnished stainless
steel. Bethurum shook hands with all the “friendly” men and asked if their
captain was around. The spokesman for the group volunteered to escort Bethurum
to the captain, and led him toward the parked space ship. Meanwhile, Bethurum
looked around and saw the short men were “Latin types,” that is, with
complexions “something like Italians.” All were neatly dressed in uniforms
similar to those “worn by Greyhound bus drivers.” All had coal black hair and
dark eyes. They had beautiful skin---skin which contained no wrinkles or
blemishes. The spokesman for the group took hold of Bethurum’s right elbow.
While holding the arm gently, said Bethurum, the man seemed to “have me in his
power completely. He gave the impression of great strength.” Soon the group
arrived at the space ship. Bethurum described it as being made of some type of
metal. He learned that it measured 300 feet in diameter and was “six yards deep
in the center.” A 3-foot metal rim with beveled edges surrounded the saucer-like
ship. The rim, said Bethurum, was about 2 feet thick. The ship had no rudder or
stacks. They entered the ship through a large wide door that Bethurum estimated
was 4 ½ feet wide, and about 10 to 12 feet long. It was located atop the ship
close to the metal rim around the edge. Inside he met the woman captain, Aura
Rhanes. He described her as having a “slender” Latin- type face. She wore a
“radiant red skirt, black velvet short sleeved blouse and a black beret with red
trim.” He went into her lounge and talked. The woman captain said she was from
the planet Clarion, which could not be seen from earth even with “progressive
magnification,” which Bethurum interpreted as meaning by telescope. She also
said the planet was not known by people on earth by another name---such as Mars.
About Mars: She said it was peopled and contained atmosphere, industry and
homes. She said the people on Mars did not have to have any special breathing
apparatus.

inaudible. Then they noticed, 200 meters away, “a gigantic object” on the
ice---lens-shaped, with a red antenna on top. Monguzzi took a photograph; then
he saw a man in a metallic “diver’s suit” approach and circle the craft, as if
inspecting it. The suit “almost looked hairy.” He carried something like a
flashlight. Monguzzi photographed him. He disappeared behind the disc, then part

slanted tops, and, in the front, a helmeted man looking straight ahead. No

Still working the night
shift, Truman Bethurum (involved in several encounters) was just completing
repairs to several trucks on the camp’s perimeter when he saw what looked like a
meteor streaking through the night sky, pulsing brightly from bluish-green to
yellow, orange and back again. The “meteor” fell from the sky, vanishing
silently behind the dune desert landscape about a half mile east of the site of
his initial encounter. Sure that the saucer had returned Bethurum lit out across
the desert in his own small truck, bumping and bouncing over the rough terrain,
too eager even to bother searching out a road toward his destination. He found
the ship again hovering close to the ground only a mile from busy Highway 91,
the main thoroughfare through Salt Lake City. A group of small men milled about
in front of the saucer, talking together in that same mumbling language whose
rumble had awakened him in his truck when they first met. A doorway opened and
the lady captain appeared, beckoning for him to approach with a wave of her
hand. He followed her into the ship and down the long corridor to her cabin. The
captain again gestured for him to take a seat on the curving couch, and then sat
beside him, smiling. They talked openly together, like old friends. She
explained that the nature of earthlings and of her own people was very similar,
that the people of her world were human beings, sharing the same feeling and
foibles, the same natural talents and challenges. Her people however, had met
these challenges directly, and had chosen a les destructive course than the one
presently being pursued by the people of Earth. “The things worry you Earth
people,” she told him, “in our homes you will never find. We know nothing of
illness, doctors or nurses. You have mechanics and laborers, too. In our land
they only mean trouble, so you see they are all taboo.” She was unimpressed by
Earth technology and military might as well, lamenting our invariably
destructive use of these resources. She valued Earth’s politics and politicians
no more highly, declaring, “That’s what’s cleft your world through,” and adding.
“With so many politicians, voting hardly seems worthwhile.” After only half an
hour the captain from the planet Clarion signaled that the visit was over. As
soon as Bethurum placed his feet on the sandy ground outside the great saucer,
the disc was gone, streaking away into the night as mysteriously as it had
appeared.

Barely two weeks after his second
encounter Truman Bethurum saw the “scow” ship streaking down from the sky to a
spectacular, silent landing less than 200 yards from Bethurum’s small truck. He
joined the captain again in her cabin this time armed, in anticipation of their
conversation, with a list of questions he had compiled since their last meeting.
Topping his list was the lady captain’s name. “Aura Rhanes” she told him, then
she spelled it out loud, in English, so that he could accurately record it among
the growing notes he had begun to keep of his encounters. They spoke together of
the vast desert spaces, the extreme heat, and the scarcity of water in the arid
landscape around them---to which she concluded, cryptically, “I expect to be
around for a thousand years, but the water in your deserts will mostly be
tears.” She allowed him to touch her arm and shoulder, to assure himself of her
reality that he was not dreaming. They exchanged family stories, the tiny,
seemingly youthful Captain Rhanes revealing that she was a grandmother, with two
small grandchildren back on Clarion. She told him of her journeys, “We land on
various planets in many locations. Also, we have made many landings in different
places on your Earth. Our only purpose in landing is for our own education, and
to relax a bit and replenish our atmosphere tanks, since when we travel our scow
is sealed right against outside influences.” The conversation turned again to
the social conditions found on Earth. She spoke sadly about the continual strife
her crew had observed among earthlings, concluding that, “Other planets are much
too busy improving the welfare of their inhabitants to have time for even minor
controversies.” The beautiful captain closed their conversation with this
warning:
“We figure our lives and plan our actions far in advance, and every
one of us knows how to do this. We have not the problems you have, because we
know what is right and want to do it. The same could be true upon your Earth.
God has been liberal in his blessings, and there is no dearth. Your people’s
could amalgamate and act in unison instead of constantly warring upon each
other, and then your deserts and plains could be transformed into gardens that
would be like Heaven. The substance and effort and life spent each year on your
wars would bring an abundance of water into your deserts, if not from your
polluted rivers, then from the atmosphere itself, or from your distant oceans.
These things can be done. And you’d have a paradise in which to build your homes
and rear your children and see your sons bloom into manhood in peace, without
the nagging horror and fear of bloody death and maimed and crazed young bodies.
But so far as I can see into the future of this planet, the water in your desert
will mostly be tears.”

and went in to investigate. In a clearing it became oppressively hot &
humid, he smelled a pungent smell, and he had the feeling of being watched.
Looking up, he saw a dark body above him. Backing up & shining his
flashlight on it, he saw a huge smooth gray disc, somewhat concave on the
bottom, with vanes around the edge and a dome in the middle. Then he heard a
slight sound, and a small red fireball began to drift toward him, expanding into
a cloud of red mist; as this enveloped him, he lost consciousness. On recovery
he ran for the road, & encountered the car of a deputy sheriff summoned by
the boys, who had seen the red fire strike him. His arms face, & cap showed
slight burns, and his hair was singed. At the site the grass showed scorched
roots. In later accounts, Desvergers said that he had got aboard the rim of the

telepathy and was able to calm him down. The female being had an egg shaped head
with a pointed chin, a small mouth and had large black almond shaped eyes. She
was also very thin with a long neck & pale gray skin. Next the witness

Standing up in surprise, he saw, less than 130 ft away, a dirigible shaped

“creature” taller than he was. He was terrified. The being stepped down from a
low stump on which he had been standing, and proved to be shorter that Jean, at
most 5 ft tall; he came forward several steps, holding his hands out in front
with palms upward. Jean “automatically” did the same, upon which the being
retreated very nimbly, hopping first on one leg, and then the other. But within

hair, and had large “pupil less” eyes in a very handsome, completely unlined
face, which was smiling. He wore a blue gray “well fitted” garment. Jean smiled
back at him; then, feeling foolish, he took out one of his visiting cards and
offered it to the humanoid, who accepted it, still smiling, and slipped it into
an invisible pocket. Then he backed away, again raised his lower arms to
horizontal, and “disappeared, with his hopping gait.” Jean had no doubt that he

and other friends a very popular game called “cops and robbers” when suddenly a
very strong wind that came out of nowhere was felt by the group. Before reacting
to the wind a strange object approached the group, it was about the size of a
bus. The object then stopped and an elevator like door opened, immediately after
that an “arrow” like metallic object about 30cms in diameter came out of the
craft, terrified the group of children ran from the area and found shelter at
the nearby school. The main witness then realized that her younger brother was
missing. She ran home and told her family what had occurred. A large group of
neighbors and friends conducted a search for the boy but no one could locate
him. However hours later a called was received by local policed department from
a nearby city, apparently they had found a young boy in a state of shock
wandering about their town. Immediately the family drove to the city and
realized that it was the missing boy. He was in a state of shock and could not
remember anything; he was gravely ill suffering from a number of skin rashes and
high fever. The doctors could not help him. He died soon after the
incident.

Type: G or F?
Comments: Obviously hypnotic regression was not
performed at the time and like many other cases from South America it appears
that the boy was suffering from some kind of radiation
sickness.

Although no one saw the saucer land, it apparently was
downed by atmospheric problems created by the detonation of hydrogen bombs. The
object and instruments were in good shape. However scattered on the ground
outside the ship were the bodies of seven men, all badly burned. One report
claimed they were about 20 to 30 years old and about six-feet tall.

Nello Ferrari, 41, a farmer, had gone to a
lonely spot to relieve himself when he noticed a copper colored light cast on
the grass. Looking up, he saw a gold or copper colored object like two 20 meter
soup plates put together; in the center, protruding above & below, was a 5
meter metal cylinder, in which was something rotating, with a motor like noise.
It was only 10 meters above him. The two plates separated, and 3 human forms
appeared in the interstice, dressed apparently in rubber like overalls, with
transparent masks. They spoke words sounding like ‘Verren---firg---unch,” then
they retreated and the two plates closed with a metallic click. The hum grew
louder, and the vessel ascended vertically.

“Attempting to establish a contact,” George Adamski and 6
others drove into the desert, and were eating lunch when a cigar shaped ship was
seen hovering. This departed, but after they had driven half a mile and got out,
there appeared a saucer hovering, which he photographed. Then he saw a man
beckoning, ¼ mile away, and Adamski walked up to him. He was wearing a one-piece
brown coverall without seams, and had shoulder length hair and a very high
forehead. Adamski asked him by signs what planet he came from; he replied by
indicating the second orbit and speaking, “Venus,” as Adamski had done. “He made
me understand that their coming was friendly,” and that, they were concerned
about atomic explosions (nodding or shaking his head in response to Adamski’s
questions accompanied by mental pictures) an extended partly telepathic
conversation is recounted. The visitor indicated his feet; his shoes left
footprints containing mysterious markings. He conducted Adamski to the saucer,
but not into it, it was translucent and hovering close to the ground. Then he
returned to it, and it took off. Adamski was apart from his companions for 1
hour, but they could watch by binoculars.

At Palomar Gardens, where
Adamski had set up his telescope, he was able to make 3 photographs of a saucer
as it approached. It came within 100 ft; “one of the portholes was opened
slightly, a hand was extended, and the film holder which my spaceman friend had
carried away on November 20 was dropped to the ground.” When developed, it
showed not the original saucer photo, but numerous mysterious blurry
signs.
