1968 Humanoid Reports. 1968 the year we lost Martin Luther King & Robert Kennedy, the days or rage in Chicago during the Democratic presidential convention. Nixon came to power. The Tet offensive in Vietnam. The students of the Prague revolt. But other events worldwide were occurring behind the scenes. 1968 could be the most overlooked year as far as UFO and Humanoid high strangeness reports. It was a strange but important year something did happened behind the scenes, but maybe the scenes were even more bizarre in nature. We have reached a mountaintop, would we learn from it? Following is the list of known Humanoid encounters for the year 1968.

1.
Location. Nellis Air Force Base Nevada
Date: 1968
Time: unknown
Military personnel reported watching a large object hovering above the base for three days consecutive. Three small objects were seen departing the larger craft and one landed on the base grounds. A Colonel accompanied by an armed security detachment was sent to meet the landed craft. While waiting outside the men watched a short stocky humanoid disembark from the craft. A green beam of light was then aimed at the Colonel from inside the object causing him to become paralyzed. Orders were then issued to fire on the object and humanoid but all weapons mysteriously jammed. The object and humanoid eventually departed into the larger hovering craft. No other information.

Location. Georgia (exact location not given)
Date: 1968
Time: 0230A
4-year old Celestian Falcon was with his family and father, a member of the military then, on their way to Florida from Tennessee in order to find temporary housing after his father had been transferred there. While driving through a long winding country road in Georgia, after traveling for several miles a strange lighted craft suddenly appeared about 200 yards in back of them off the left side of the road, hovering over a hill loft. His mother screamed. The craft had large red lights and other lights that appeared to be coming from the top windows of the craft, a red glow surrounded it as it started to slowly head in towards them over an empty field. As his mother kept screaming other cars began to pass them and almost shoved them off the road. Three more cars from the opposite direction did immediate U-turns when they saw the hovering craft coming toward the witnesses. One car stopped behind them and pulled over to their right side of the road. Then their car engine shut off. His father looked back through his rearview mirror and saw the stopped car, then armed with a gun he stepped outside to check the car engine. The UFO then began to turn towards the roadway. His father saw it and rushed back to the car and attempted to start the engine once more. His mother then shoved Celestian to the back seat and covered him to hide him. She told him to sit still and to not make a sound. The young witness then looked back through the rear window and saw the other stopped car about 40ft in back of them. A young male went over to his passenger side and took out his young girlfriend from the passenger side; he attempted to hide her in the trunk. Then he saw several 5ft tall aliens surround the couple. The male driver pulled out a tire iron but an alien touched him with a silver prod and he went limp. They then put them in “silver blankets” and levitated them into the craft. Then a pinkish red light filled into the witness car. He got down covering up and then everything suddenly became very quiet. Someone or something then opened the door, he felt hands and arms grab him and pull him out in his blanket, then he blacked out. His next memory was of being inside the spacecraft. They were in a room of some kind. A reptilian like alien was holding him, his mother was trying to get the aliens to give him back but his father had decided it was best to let them take them and have what they wanted. He was then taken downstairs. The witness then saw a large table with some type of probing device at the foot of it. On the other side were windows. He could see the night sky and part of the road through the windows. There were jars of human looking fetuses rowed beneath the windows. He saw another incubator containing more jars of fetuses lined on a rack sealed to the wall just next to the doorway in front of him and adjacent to the windows. Next to the fetuses were two other doors. A couple of aliens walked in and out of one. They seemed to be refrigerated storage compartments. The aliens then sedated his mother with a silver needle and placed her on the large table. Then they took the witness down to the mid-level of the main entrance. There he saw two small green skinned reptilian aliens sitting at a main flight control. Everything, including the floor appeared to be made out of silver. A white light filled the room, the temperature in the room was comfortable, and a deep base drone sound pulsated through the craft. Then all of the sudden a woman’s blood curdling screams came from his left as he was facing the main entrance away from the aliens at the main flight console. The screams were coming from inside the vaulted room; he then also heard a male voice screaming saying, “Help us we are being attacked by monsters!” He then heard some banging noises as apparently a fight ensued between the man and the aliens. Two aliens came running out of a middle chamber where they were. One had a swollen cheek and had been bruised. The other alien behind him pushed an emergency release on the outside of the door. Two more aliens came running out from the southeast hallway wearing white lab coats. They went into the room, the man tried to fight them off but everything suddenly became silent. Then two more aliens came up on an elevator that was right behind the witness. They were wearing white astronaut suits that looked similar to NASA. They appeared to be about 4 ½ ft tall, had large gray heads and large round human-like eyes. They wore clear bubble helmets. The suits appeared to be glossy and slick. They seemed to be wearing some type of “gravity” boots. One was holding a silver container box of some type. Then a strange human came out of a southeast quarter chamber from upstairs. He pushed a button at the top of the banister then opened a small gate door connected between the banister handrails. An escalator rolled out from directly underneath the railings where he stood. As the escalator rolled out he pushed another button, then lighted hand railings appeared on each side of the escalator. The lighted hand railings appeared to be working off of some type of remote sensors that were connected to the escalator. The escalator locked onto a platform at the bottom towards the center of the mid level off to the side where the young witness was standing. As the “human” came down the escalator he stood on the platform. He was wearing a skin-tight black suit with a V-shaped cap. He appeared to be “Spanish” and stood about 6ft. He wore a strange patch on his left sleeve with emblems on it. The emblems appeared to symbolize some type of Federation or Star League. He had a sharp cut beard. He spoke to the other aliens and the witness could “hear” the short gray aliens communicating by using telepathy. They had been diving for a device they lost in a deep mud swamp, and were trying to recover it. They had found only one part, but the main part remained lost somewhere at the bottom of the swamp. They feared the device was buried to deep in mud or covered in weeds and sticks to be recovered. The human alien ordered them back out for a second search. As they exited, the young witness saw another room that appeared to be a maintenance vault. He was then escorted by two small grays down to the main engine room through the main elevator, these grays stood 41/2 ft tall, with large slanted black eyes and hollow ears. The witness again hears their telepathic communication and understands that he is to be guarded by a “mechanic” in the engine room due to the fact that they were having problems with some of the abductees who had been fighting back. The main engine was about 3-4ft high and about 7-8ft long. The main engine had three cylinders on top with two long shafts that ran down on top of each side of the top cylinders. The “mechanical engineer” was a human “astronaut”, he stood about 6ft, was Caucasian, with thick light brown short hair, and a thick beard. He appeared to be about 37 years of age. He wore a heavily insulated orange space suit that was pocketed with remote attachments down the pant leg thighs and the shirtsleeves. He worked on the main engine front, and the witness curiously approached to watch. It appeared that they were having engine problems and at one point the witness saw what appeared to be blue-silver atom core. The alien mechanic told the witness to go into another room while he worked on the engine, he had hazel eyes and his pupils were little tiny dots as if synthetic. Later two gray aliens came back down and took the witness up to the mid level. There he noticed that the middle “abduction” door was opened. The two aliens then took him into this room. There he saw the young male hooked up to a vertical machine, standing upright facing him. He appeared to be about 19-20 years of age with blond hair and blue eyes. The machine was shaped like a “T”. To the right were two mechanical machines, one displayed colors of fluids in tubes, the other machine under it displayed red beads of round-circular looking lights on the inside. He had tubes in his sides of his mid section. A device from the top of the upright shaped like a T folded out over his head. His eyes were wide open; his mouth was open with a black flat piece inside it. He had white round taped sensory patches and wires to his head, fingers, body and feet. There were little spats of blood on the floor near his feet. To the left was a bed with a silver blanket that appeared to be space age material and the blanket they had used to levitate them. There was also an operations panel that seemed to be electrical and an alien performing functions on it. Then two aliens escorted him back out the main entrance room near the elevator again. Then something else happened. A call came from one of the green reptilian aliens at the main control, “We have been found by them, they are coming to destroy us.” One alien was scared and wanted to leave in fear that they were going to be killed. The witness could still hear the aliens communicating telepathically with each other, “They are getting close, we only have about 12 minutes before they get visible approach.” Two air force jets became visible on digital monitor screens, they magnified one of the monitor screens, and he could see through the clear cockpit glass and could see the pilot’s head and face as clear as day. As the pilots approached with weapons locked the main entrance of the UFO breached and air-licked the spacecraft down, the locking breach was noisy and loud, it released a small white cloud of gas. He saw short stubby aliens up on top of the southeast breach of the main entrance that performed the lockdown. They wore dark black robes and black hoods. Their eyes were large, black and appeared to be human-like, their skin was gray. They looked very evil. The young witness made eye contact with one and it glared back down at him as if he was “worth nothing to him”. The aliens at the console pulled out flat silver remote devices that attached to the main console and performed a program sequence to make the craft travel backward in time, locating the craft in another dimension of time and space. This was done according to the flight history of the craft that re-located 40 minutes before they had been picked up by radar.
A tall green alien then walked up behind the witness, picked him up and placed him on a small silver table with wheels, and laid him down on his back. The tall reptilian alien stood about 7ft, had large slanted black eyes, a tiny nose, and hollowed ears. At this point the witness began to cry. The tall alien then touched him and communicated telepathically with him, he said, “Do not be scared, you will be ok.” He smiled at the witness and comforted him. Then more small gray aliens surrounded the table. The witness then blacked out but fell “conscious inside”. He felt the table being rolled up on an uplift and the feeling of being rolled back downwards. He woke up in another room, or “an abduction chamber.” He was placed on a long table and then aliens in white gloss robes walked out from in back of the room. The small robed aliens were grays. They told the tall alien that the witness was the wrong type and they could not do any more to him. The tall alien ordered them to carry on with the abduction phase. The small aliens tried to argue but the tall reptilian had the authority. The witness noticed a miniature lazier lens strapped around the right side of the tall alien’s head, a rack mount of machines over his head and a rolling lazier machine rolled out through ceiling rollers over his body. Rings of oracular light swarmed his body, he clinched his teeth. He blacked out and then came to, everything was fuzzy and hazy. The tall alien then placed a large silver needle on the witness lower right calf; he could see machines lined across the side of the wall from the foot of the table. A small alien was taking out a tube from one of these machines. It had malfunctioned; the machine was then taken out and immediately replaced. Then alien technicians came back in with the original machine, it was shaped like a VCR and had a lighted tube that locked in place. He “blacked out” again but could feel alien fingers poking inside his stomach, it produced a dull pain as he moaned and tried to roll over on his side. Then a tall “angel” came in and stood on the other side of the table facing the reptilian creature. The angel looked at the reptilian and ordered it to put him back. It told them that the witness was a “child of God” and told the reptilian it had been sent by God. It told the reptilian that if they did not take the witness back they would be destroyed. The reptilian said that they were not going to harm him and that they would return him as they found him. The “angel” then said, “this is your last warning, put the child back now and let them go or you will be destroyed.” The angel then disappeared. The reptilian pointed over to where the angel had stood and said to the other grays, “Did you see that, what that was?” He then looked down at the witness and asked, “What are you?” Thinking that he had somehow produced the angel spirit, the reptilian then said, “I don’t know what you are or what that thing was, but we are going to find out.” It ordered the grays to go after the angel, to find it and bring it back. The witness awoke back in the mid level near the elevator where they had performed the “abduction” on him. The tall alien then sat him on the floor, his body felt dense, heavy, and mushy and his legs were limp. However he felt cheerful and happy to “be alive”. He wanted to play with the small reptilians at the main control. They could read his mind and were rude when they said, “We can’t play games with you.” “What do you think of us now?” “You think we are evil now don’t you?” The aliens then smirked at him.
Soon the “Spanish” human astronaut came back out and ordered to release the witness and his family. They were taken out and put back in their car. He remembered that his mother sat limp and his father was in a trance state. His father had red burns on the left side of his face. Then he came to about the same time as his mother as she awoke screaming, “Step on it, step on it”, she cried. The young witness looked back as the car sped away and could see one of the friendly aliens waving good bye, he waved back. The craft then shot straight upward and arched into space and then vanished. The witness reported later home visitations by spacemen type aliens wearing black skin-tight suits, silver belts and gadgets attached to them. They walked through the walls. The next day neighbors reported seeing a UFO early in the morning hours from about 0140A to the time the whole family awoke from a “trance” in the living room. The crafts resembled lighted silver discs. The young witness father reported the incident to the military officials and he was told that it could have been a secret military “V” craft.

Location. Sverdlovsk, Ural, Russia
Date: 1968
Time: 0400A
A 6-year old girl named Oksana Plotova who lived in a house near the base of Old Uktus Mountain awoke early one morning, sat on her bed and suddenly saw a strange entity standing at the corner of her bedroom. The entity was dwarf-like, about 60-80cm in height, somehow resembling a “wrinkled woman”. The girl although thought that the entity also looked like a doll. The entity’s skin was completely black and the eyes were totally white in color. The humanoid stared at the girl with its large eyes, unblinkingly. Very frightened, Oksana laid on her bed refusing to move. When her parents awoke early in the morning she looked at the corner and the entity was already gone. She later speculated that she had seen a “chud” an entity described in numerous Uralian legends as inhabitants of underground realms that had gone underground ages ago and still live there.

A hinting inspections officer flying on board a Mi-4 helicopter, with several other men and 3 pilots on a routine flight from Omsk saw at approximately 300-400 kilometers north-northeast of Omsk in the taiga a huge disk-shaped object on the ground, stuck in a bog. According to the witnesses report the disk was quite large in diameter, probably 30 meters in size, with a silvery surface which reflected the sun, probably lens-shaped, with a convexo-convex structure. The disk-shaped craft was partially sunk into the bog, near the pine forest in a tilted position. There wasn’t any safe area around to land for the helicopter and it had to continue its flight. They heard nothing more about it.

7-year old Elena Sokolova was returning home from school, and when walked inside the yard of her multistory apartment complex she was amazed to see the yard totally devoid of people. She thought that it was impossible, since at this time of day there were usually dozens of people about, mothers with their young children, elderly residents, people walking their dogs, etc, but on this date there wasn’t a single soul around. She kept walking and suddenly saw a strange “man” appear near her. The man looked extremely weird, he was of a small height, completely bald, and dressed in a red colored loose overall with unknown symbols on the breast area, which resembled hieroglyphs. In general the strange man somehow resembled a monk. The stranger stood staring at the witness and then made a gesture with his hand, beckoning Elena to come closer to him. Terrified she turned around and ran to her apartment without looking back. (She would have further encounters)

Lyyli Nilsson had been out fishing with her 11 year old daughter. The girl left her and went home. As the child came to a ridge she saw two persons wearing overall like outfits and a bit further up a brownish bell shaped object. A while later her mother passed the same place and saw the men who talked between themselves in an unknown language. Hiding about 40 meters from them, she saw that they were of a Nordic type and wore silvery overall like outfits. Their craft stood a bit further up on the ridge. When she came home her daughter confirmed Mrs Nilsson observation.

C. W. Hickman saw a lighted, oval shaped object land on 4 legs 40 ft away. From an opening, unlike a door, emerged 4 women and 2 men; the women 6 ft tall, slender and light complexioned, with curly hair under 3 inch headbands and dressed in two piece suits with short skirts and high boots, reassured him as they escorted him back to their craft. The men remained silent and were of dark complexions, wearing tight fitting uniforms. He was taken on board the craft into a large central room, then into a smaller adjoining room where he was compelled to inject some white powder, after which his clothes were removed. He was sponged with a fluid while being monitored by a small device like a camera. The ship took off, arriving at its destination after a short flight. He was taken into an oblong white building, in a landscape covered with white sand. In the building he saw complex electronic equipment. He felt no fear, but believes he was heavily sedated. He believes he may also have been sexually molested. He was then taken back aboard the craft and returned, after another short trip, to the site where he had been abducted. He suffered no ill effects upon his return but did develop pneumonia about 3 weeks later. The signification of the experience eluded him, although he later reported seeing one of the women in an Austin Texas supermarket; “Oh, they’re right here with us. They are all around us,” he told the investigating reporter.

Comments: Early abduction report describing human-like occupants. I believe the witness was not hypnotically regressed. Apparently this type of “alien” is able to easily mingle with humans without being noticed. I believe hypnotic regression would have discovered more disturbing information in this case.


11.
Location. Northern Adamawa Province, Nigeria
Date: 1968 (date is approximate)
Time: evening
The witness, 10-11 year old, Nevin Pfaltzgraff, son of missionaries posted in this isolated area near the border with the Cameroons was exploring an area several hundred yards from the back of the house not far from the base of a very large hill that had a sloped rock escarpment going up it. He was about 100 yards from it separated by large berry bushes through which he could see the rock. Suddenly, movement drew his attention and looking in that direction he saw several “humanoid” beings walking across the rock in single file, staring ahead. He does not remember the number but he thinks that it was between 3 and 5. The distance made it hard to judge their height, but his impression was that they were about 5ft tall. They were orange/red in color and did not appear to be clothed or carrying anything, they seemed asexual and could not see any details on the facial features. The most significant aspect of the experience (according to Nevin) was his reaction: He instantly “knew” that what he was seeing was abnormal, although at the time, being cut off from the news and the rest of the world he had no knowledge of UFOs or aliens. He was “electrified” as though all his hair over his body was standing on end and he ran from the there as fast as he could. The witness at first thought that these had been orange monkeys, but the beings he saw were too tall, had no tails and walked like humans.

Time: late evening
At the same time that his cousin, Gail Wilkins watched a gigantic cylindrical shaped object while driving along Linebrook Road, Jeffrey Morgan Foss (involved in other encounters) was taken aboard an object that was apparently launched from the large cigar-shaped mothership. Onboard the craft he remembered that several female and male “grays” were kind and gentle to him. The male being reflected tenderness by placing his hand on Foss’ while the female was helping Foss to remember about their mutual love for waterfalls (?). He was shown a simple test tube with yellow and red blood cells; genetics/incubation technology; self-sustaining deep voyage artificial environment production technology; and microscopic liquid chips. Then they escorted him through a curved corridor running between the inner drum shaped central control room and the outer edge of the disc. Just 15 feet or so around the curved corridor to the left was a room on the right which was very dark without room or control lights. There was a “homeworld head” there that examined Foss closely and then reflected approval to the male and female grays about the project which in this case was Foss himself. He noticed, as his eyes adjusted to the dark, bumps all over the being’s head. At first he thought it was a disease but then he saw they were laid out in a perfect pattern. Then he saw a hair-thin line on his forehead. He was wearing a skin-tight cap with perfectly matched the gray of his skin bearing sensors. Upon telepathic inquiry, it was revealed they were for (wireless) multitask fleet communications.

The witness, who had been experiencing several strange events and other visitations in her home, woke up one night feeling paralyzed and with difficulty breathing. She then saw grotesque faces with large, round baldheads, dark slanted eyes, thin lips, no nose, and light skin. The beings seemed disembodied as they floated in the air. They were only 3 feet tall and were dressed in shiny suits, which made them shimmer. No sound was heard but her paralysis lasted half an hour, during which the beings told her telepathically that they wanted control of her body.

The whole body of the stranger was covered with hair. The “alien” had less hair on his face. The color of the hair was dirty gray. They stood facing each other for a few minutes, after that the alien without saying a word, made a slight sound with his lips and walked away into the darkness. With a little difficulty the stunned woman walked back to her home.

The witness was getting ready to go to bed and was clothing the bedroom window when she noticed, not 6 ft from the trailer a “being”, Sasquatch in appearance. She told her husband but this one ignored her. The being suddenly got up, as it had been sitting under a tree and walked toward the window. He was tall, about 8 to 9 ft tall. The being was looking directly into her eyes. He was completely covered in light and dark tan fur, except for its face which was a light tan color; the eyes were large, dark, dark brown not black as she could see the pupil and slightly protruding as they seemed to be the most prominent feature. As she started to back away from the window, it raised its right hand (huge and there were 4 fingers and a thumb) and she heard in her mind a soft voice saying, “Do not be afraid, I will not harm you.” As she heard this a feeling of peace and calm came over her and the being smiled and started talking to her...telepathically. Her next memory was of waking up the next morning sleeping next to her husband and not remembering what had happened.

Two Air Force Policemen reported that they had been guards outside a top-secret aircraft hanger and were instructed never to enter inside. Yet one night they both decided to enter and check it out, inside they found themselves staring at the wreckage of a saucer type craft, and some small bodies lay side by side. A government civilian contractor entered the hangar after them. Shortly thereafter they were reduced in rank and transferred to Hickam Air Force Base.

Time: night
Because of the tense relations between the USSR and China at the time, Soviet KGB frontier troops intensified their patrols in the territories of the Russian Far East which bordered the People’s Republic of China. One night the crew of a Soviet patrol boat on the River Amur spotted a suspicious object flying in from the Chinese bank of the Amur. When the strange object came closer the men on the boat realized that the object resembled a winged human figure. The wings were visibly flapping in the air as the entity flew overhead. At the moment that the winged figure crossed the frontier into Russia the frontier guards opened fire with their automatic weapons. The flying entity stopped moving its wings and glided down sharply to the nearby taiga and dense pine forest. The crew of the patrol boat radioed headquarters about the incident and the order was given to find the object or creature whatever it was. The KGB frontier guards suspected that the figure was probably a Chinese spy, wearing some kind of flying apparatus or equipment. However a thorough search which included dogs conducted by the frontier guards proved fruitless. The mysterious flying man had disappeared.

The witness was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night to see a large disc shaped object hovering just outside her front door. The object had sort of a hypnotic effect on the witness, which suddenly found herself being pulled from her body and out of the bedroom window. She then found herself in a garden adorned with oriental statues, standing in a long line of people who all waited silently. Soon she was on a chair surrounded by several beings. The room she was in was dark and she was unable to see the being’s features clearly, but they were apparently humanoid. She was handed an object and was told to do something, she refused, thinking that the beings were evil. She began screaming and suddenly found herself back on her bed.

A brother and sister were asleep, when the sister awoke to a noise outside. She then awoke her brother. The noise was loud, but no one else woke (even another brother nearby refused to rouse when they tried to wake him). The sound turned higher in pitch, like whistles, and a bright light shone through the curtains. The sister was getting hysterical, saying that they were going to die. Then the sound grew softer. Their pet chickens were running around excitedly, and a small disk went over the house. The object seemed to land or at least stop right over the house. There were then three “zzzf” sounds and a light so bright that it was like daylight. A ladder-like object descended very shiny metal. Both the sister and brother fainted. The next morning both of them were in one bed covered with sweat. The parents wanted to know what had happened. “And I said to her, “We’ve come to visit you like you’ve come to visit us. We mean no harm. Please do not be frightened. We see that you are frightened. We shall leave, but we shall return. When we return, please do not be frightened.” And then they all went away. Mom was saying, “What are you saying! What is it? Get out of there!” So my dad took me to the kitchen and my mom took my sister to the bedroom and let her tell her story.

The 5-year old witness (involved in other encounters) was lying down on his bed when a ball of light came into the bedroom. It was bluish in color, violet. And it was very bright, but the light did not hurt his eyes. This light transformed into a woman. She was about 2.20m in height, the witness was just a small child so it was difficult for him to ascertain her exact size, but she was very tall. She had raid hair and her eyes were green, but water green, transparent green, very strange eyes. She had very white skin and her lips were pin, perfect, her features were perfect. He remembers that she leaned over him and said, “Don’t worry”. He heard that inside his brain (telepathy). “Don’t worry everything is going to be OK.” Then he found himself inside a room with a metallic bed and there was a bubble around him, like a soup bubble, transparent. And the same woman was outside the bubble looking at him. She was “talking” to him, telling him that they were going to put something in him. “Don’t worry, relax, everything is going to be OK. We are your friends.” He was very afraid, but when she began talking to him, somehow his fear diminished and he became calmer. She could penetrate the bubble, with a very thin crystal, shining crystal in her hand, and she said she was going to put that on him, on the back of his neck. And she did that, he felt pain. This is the end of his memories.

Valentina Flores was bringing in her llamas when she discovered that her sheep pen was covered with a net made of some plastic like material, and that inside the pen was a helmeted being, 3.5 ft tall, who was engaged in the killing of her sheep by a tubular instrument having a hook on the end of it. Mrs Flores threw stones at the being, whereupon he walked over to an instrument resembling a radio and, moving a wheel on it, quickly absorbed all the netting. The farm woman approached the pen with a cudgel, upon which the being threw his instrument at her several times; it returned to him like a boomerang, after inflicting superficial cuts on her arms. The entity picked up the machine, which had absorbed the net, as well as a bag containing sheep entrails, and put them into a rucksack on his back. Two legs emerged from the rucksack and extended down to the ground, at which time the entity rose straight up into the air with an “extraordinary” sound, and vanished. 34 sheep were found dead and from every one, “certain small portions of the digestive organs were missing.”

The owner of the Lagoa Negra Fazenda, his wife and two children, and the Fazenda manager all saw a UFO that was disc shaped, about 9 ft high and 30 ft wide, with a round hat shaped dome on top. It had a metallic gleam and emitted a very powerful reddish light as it hovered about 6 ft above the ground, 400 yards away. Two 6-foot tall men appeared beside it, dressed in white coveralls with broad sashes, they had shoulder length hair and ware barefoot. These beings walked stiffly, without bending their legs. Then appeared 3 more beings less than 4.5 ft tall, wearing chestnut brown coveralls, likewise with long hair, these 3 walked about rapidly, but remained near the UFO. The two tall beings walked further away, finally opening a gate in the fence around the yard and advancing to within 60 yards of the house. When the wife opened the door and called out to her husband, in fright, the two turned around and walked to the object; all five entered and the object rose vertically. The family’s 5 dogs remained unusually docile throughout the visitation. Footprints, both large and small, were later found at the site.

Jean D. was awakened by a whirling sound from outdoors; going to the window and wiping the steam from the cold, she saw circling nearby a 3 foot disk of highly polished metal. At the same time, she “heard” messages, such as “we have to get into position on the east side of the bedroom to clasp.” The feeling was that “they’ were frantic, and she “heard” then speak of a tube like casing for entry, then a drilling sound; next, a round metallic material appeared on the wall, growing in size. The sound stopped and with a “light feeling” all around, a number of 3-foot beings entered the room through the casing. The next thing she remembers is being on a table, with a cloth; certain entities were preparing her for an operation; according to the continuing “messages,” the beings needed her “substance” or they would not “make it back.” Using an implement like a thin flashlight with a needle at each end, they made a circular incision in her stomach from which they extracted blood. They seemed to be shrinking until each, in turn, was given a sample of the blood. She described them as having large gray green heads with large ear fixtures, eyes, nose, and a mouth that did not open as they “communicate.” They indicated that they wanted her son, and Jean became hysterical; they told her never to reveal what had happened or they would take him. The next she remembers is the whirring sound, and they were leaving through the hole in the wall. She found herself at the window again, wiping it in order to see outside, searching for tracks in the snow. When her husband returned she tried to tell him what happened; when he did not believe her, she accused him of “being one of them.” This feeling persisted for a long time, and she warned that she would be committed to an institution.

Three teen aged boys, Russell Fox, Richard Nutter, and Mike Cain, were out hunting when they saw a huge bird that waddled sideways; their dog took after it and the creature ran into a decrepit barn. With a flashlight, they could see that it was almost as large as a man, with large glowing eyes. Fox, who was about to shoot it, inexplicably dropped his gun, walked forward in the darkness, and offered it his new hunting jacket. Then a glow lit the barn, and instead of the bird, he saw a youth wearing only a loincloth, “who looked as if he was made out of gold.” This figure picked up the jacket and held it up, and then began to weep; then it vanished.

It appeared to have no legs. Peter and the girl drove off quickly. At the same site two weeks later, an unpleasantly pungent odor was detected, although nothing unusual was observed.

The main witness, Dan Welch, was sitting in the back seat of a car on the passenger side when he felt a sensation of light coming from behind him. At first he paid little attention to this thinking it was just bright car lights coming up from behind them. However, after it happened again he paused then turned around to look out the back window of the car to discover that there was no other car on the road behind them. Puzzled, he continued to look out the back window. Then approximately 500 feet in the clouds, the outline of an oval shaped blue light with a similar beam of blue light came on to engulf the small town which they had just driven through. They were driving up a small incline, so it was very easy to discern the oval shape of the blue beam of light. It was so distinct that he could clearly make out the oval edge of the beam in the darkness of the night. It was the most intense, beautiful blue he had ever seen, but strangely he could look at the light without squinting. The awestruck witness could tell that there was a definite on-off pattern to the light, which reminded him of a gigantic flash bulb. The UFO was huge, compared to that of a pineapple held at arm’s length. As he continued watching the UFO came on again but this time directly over the road behind the car. It was definitely moving in a SE to NW direction. The next sequence was of the UFO appearing directly over the car. The main witness distinctly remembers looking up into this light. But it was no longer blue but instead a very intense white light, he remembers that it hurt his eyes. The next thing he remembers was sitting down in the back seat looking out the front window of the car and hearing the driver say, “I’m getting the hell out of here!” With this the driver slammed his foot onto the gas pedal and left the area at a high rate of speed. The witness caught a last glimpse of the UFO again approximately 1,000 yards in the distance. Upon arriving at their cottage the main witness noticed that it had taken an extra hour and a half to get there also upon arrival no one in the car mentioned the UFO. To this day it has never been discussed among the witnesses. Not long after the encounter the main witness began to get severe headaches.

An interesting aside: A few years later the main witness was now living in Toledo Ohio and one morning was backing out of his driveway when he noticed an old style black Cadillac parked in front of his house. He pulled away from the house and the black Cadillac starts following him right into the parking lot of the school where he taught. The Cadillac proceeded to pull-up in the parking space right next to his. He was very concerned about who this person was and why they were following him. When he looked over to see who it was, he was met by a pair of icy, glaring eyes. To this day, he will never forget how these eyes stared right through him. The “man” just kept staring at him. The “man” wore a white overcoat with the collar turned up all the way around his neck with a white brimmed hat turned down so all that the witness could see were his eyes and nose (which appeared to be very thin and narrow). The eyes reminded the witness of two black coals. The skin of the stranger was ‘whitish’. The witness stared back for a few seconds but the quickly walked into the building hoping to catch a glimpse of the license number. He constantly kept the Cadillac in his peripheral vision all the time as he walked to and entering the building. On entering the building there was a door immediately to his left that he entered where the room included windows all along the side facing the parking lot from which he had just come in from. It had taken him less than 5 seconds to get to the window to observe this Cadillac...but it was gone.

Yelling “Get away from those mailboxes,” she rushed downstairs, but was dumbfounded to see two little greenish yellow “men” or creatures clambering around the boxes, attaching themselves to the wall by “suction hands and feet.” They glistened like metal, possibly wearing flexible, tight fitting metallic clothing. At her appearance, the two little creatures rushed to the door, and she heard quite a scrambling around; as if there may have been 5 or 6 of them.

The witness was at a boarding school in Spain and the above date him and a friend climbed a nearby hill to read letters from home. 5 to 10 minutes after reaching the top of the hill his friend pointed to a solid dull looking cigar shaped object which seemed to be carved out of a very clear blue sky. They looked at it for a few seconds before they could comment on it and decided it was not a cloud since the edges were crisp and there was some obvious 3 dimensionality to it. The object was huge since they actually had to move their heads from left to right to see it end to end. Within 15 to 20 seconds the object seemed to shrink in size, tilt and vanish. To their estimation the whole incident lasted not more than 30 seconds. They ran down to the school to report what they saw and a group of the other children were very excited when they saw the witnesses. To their surprise their excitement was due to the fact that both had been missing for over 2 hours and had missed lunch and the head count. Fortunately for them the Franciscan monk in charge of the school was very sympathetic and offered to call the local US air base (Torrejon) to ask about the phenomenon. The base reported that there had been no scheduled test flights that day but were very interested in a personal report. Both witnesses declined.

They went to the site & found that the UFO was no larger than a soup plate. Down a fine golden ladder climbed more than 24 4” tall humanoids, which then “grew” to normal size, shook hands with the witnesses, & engaged them in conversation. Strong was invited to take a ride in the saucer; with the crewmembers, shrank to 4” size and climbed up the ladder. The ship rose with a whistling noise, “becoming larger.” Sybil waited 8 hours, after which the UFO returned & let Strong out, still diminutive; he regained his normal height as he walked toward Sybil.

Shortly after, two “men” over 6 ft tall, “who looked as though they were made of crystal,” walked up to him stiffly, without bending their knees. He felt as if they were communicating with him telepathically. They greeted him by touching shoulders, and one of the beings, which had introduced himself as “Rubinako,” said to him, “Krebs, Navis, Karsicujo and Krero.” Cobo noted these words down, writing with a ballpoint pen on his bare arms and legs. Then they told him they would meet him again in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. He had a vague recollection that the craft took off vertically.

After work Sunday, a friend dropped off Tom Monteleone at home. As the friend pulled away, a large black car with its lights out glided out of the shadows and halted at the curb. The entity called Vadig then called out to the witness from the car. Another man was in the car. Monteleone later recalled only that he wore a gray coat, had black hair, and never spoke. The witness got into the car. The car was a very old Buick, but was very well kept, it looked brand new, and it even smelled brand new. They drove for about 30 minutes to a remote spot on a back road. When the witness got out of the car he was astonished to see an egg shaped object waiting for them. Inside the object he was put into a circular room containing nothing but a couple of bucket seats and a gray TV screen. Vadig and his companion disappeared into another part of the craft. After a few minutes the TV screen came alive, the object shuddered, and the witness watched the image of the earth receding to a tiny speck on the screen. Three or four hours passed. It seemed like hours before another planet appeared on the screen, it grew larger, and then the craft landed with a thump. The young witness found himself in a place no too unlike the Earth. He and Vadig got into a wheel less vehicle that traveled along a kind of through. “This is Lanulos,” Vadig announced with pride in his voice. Their vehicle traveled through a large city with low, flat buildings and signs written in some kind of Oriental looking characters. The people, male and female, were all nude. After the tour, they returned to the egg-shaped craft and took off again. The witness sat alone in the same circular room watching the television screen for hours. Finally they arrived back on Earth at the same place from which they had left. The witness, Vadig, and the silent man returned to the old Buick and drove for about 30 minutes until they reached his apartment house. “I’ll see you in time,” Vadig declared, the car drove off. To the witness amazement the whole trip, including the 30-minute rides to and from the object, had taken less than two hours.

A widow named Mrs. Anna de la Rovera returned home one evening and found a man dressed in gray sitting on her front porch. When she asked him what he wanted, he “simply stood up and walked into the house through the closed front door.” The mysterious stranger appeared frequently after that, often invading her bedroom and “making amorous advances” to her. One night she saw a dark apparition coming out of the kitchen. It was covered with long hair, and she particularly remembered seeing long, curved fingernails. Her children also saw the intruder. She complained to local authorities.

In a rural area a couple was getting ready to go to sleep when the husband decided to look outside to check road conditions. He was then astounded when he saw a huge oval shaped craft hovering near a pond, the craft had several prong-like probes protruding out, and one was directly in front of the window. The husband then yelled to his wife and both watched the object. The craft was dark gray metallic with a large dome on top. It gave the impression that it was old and ancient. The bottom of the object appeared concaved. There was a white light that illuminated the object entirely and the witness could now see a catwalk on the middle of the object. There was a single human like figure standing on the catwalk and was looking directly at the witness. The witness could also see opened portholes from which multicolored lights emerged, what appeared to be instrument panels and other figures could be seen inside the object. Another figure had now come out to the catwalk and was apparently talking to the other one. The object eventually moved slowly away rising up out of sight shining a bright beam of light at the witnesses who briefly followed it in their vehicle.

After telephoning another sentry, he approached the craft and shone his flashlight on it. At this he was enveloped in a sort of smoke or dust emitted by the UFO, and fell to the ground in a faint, where the other sentry found him a few minutes later.

The witness, a 12-year-old girl, heard a “bloop-bloop” noise and looked out her window; she saw a white egg shaped object, a little larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground beside the disused Winsted railroad station. A ray of light came out of the craft, pointed downward, and 15-20 little men about 3 ft tall walked in single file down this ray and jumped to the ground. They were dressed in dull silver clothing and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They proceeded to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with a hand over hand movement; when they reached the roof, they spread out in different directions. The girl became frightened and went to bed.

There was another couch like seat around the backside. He has a memory of talking to several undescribed beings that were “engineers.” The beings explained how they operated the craft. They said that a band around the middle of the craft had a magnetic force that kept them from hitting others.

Robert D. Miles who was living onboard a forty seven foot trimaran was docked at Honolulu’s Alawi Yacht Harbor. On that early morning he had gotten up early and made some coffee and was lying on his bunk worrying about current events in his life. Suddenly he experienced a dazzling array of shimmering light followed by an intense tingling of energy, which filled the entire stateroom and engulfed him. His entire body began to vibrate as a beautiful woman materialized in the walkway right next to his bed. His first reaction was believing that he was dreaming or hallucinating. But the woman spoke to him and took his hand. In a matter of moments he came to understand that the woman was real and much more alive than him. The energy aura that she emanated made his entire being vibrate at a level that could only be described as ecstasy. He asked, “Why have you come to visit me?” She replied, “Myself and others like me are friends, and we want you to come to a very important briefing.” Moments after agreeing to go with her, an unparalleled series of events occurred. First he was teleported to New York City. He then boarded a saucer-like spacecraft and was transported to an extraterrestrial location for the briefing. The extraterrestrials orchestrated the briefing to give him and about fifty other guests a glimpse of Earth’s history. They also showed them a dramatic and vivid view of humankind’s potential destiny. After the briefing, he was asked to undertake a mission. He agreed to publish a story about his experience and to place an ad in a major newspaper, saying simply, if you have the spirit of adventure and are willing to work, come sail with us. Upon returning to the sailboat he realized that only 33 minutes had passed. However from his personal perspective, it seemed like many unhurried hours had been spent with these incredible beings. To this day he remains convinced that the series of events were real and not a dream or delusion.

Shane Kurz experienced a series of terrifying close up encounters with a UFO outside her home. One of those involved missing time in conjunction with physical evidence. Her encounters continued, and she eventually sought out a therapist and went under hypnotic regression. Shane Kurz was then able to recall the period of missing time. To her shock, she realized she was a UFO abductee and had interacted with extraterrestrials with grayish skin, no hair and large eyes, but otherwise, very human-looking. Shane later recalled a very peculiar incident that occurred approximately one year before her first abduction. At that time she was in high school. One day she decided to go to school early and when she was about 50 yards from the school entrance somebody came up behind her. It was raining, and she was carrying an umbrella, and she had not seen anyone on the street prior to that. But suddenly somebody appeared behind her and said, “Hello Shane, may I share your umbrella?” She turned around and saw a man walk up to her. He struck her as being different by the fact that his appearance just didn’t seem to fit with the way everyone looked around the area. His dress was a little more modern, maybe a year or 2 ahead of the current time, so she thought he was a stranger. He had on corduroy pants and a plaid shirt, but his eyes and ears were the strangest things. She was fascinated by his ears, because they seemed to come to a point and was very sharp compared to humans. Also his eyes were gray, yet when she looked at them they seemed to disappear---as if she could see completely through them. They were very magnetic. He seemed to talk with some kind of accent, but she couldn’t quite place it. It sounded a little on the oriental side. His eyes were slightly slanted, not up but sort of back. His hair was light brown, and he did not wear a hat, which was unusual, because it was cold and raining, and he wore no coat either. He wore no necktie, his shirt was open, and he was about 5 foot 4inches and came level with her shoulder. When he walked, he never took his hands out of his pockets. Shane immediately asked how the stranger knew her name, but he evaded the question and began asking some of his own questions, all of which were somewhat strange. He asked Shane what she did during lunch hour at school. When Shane replied that she played volleyball or basketball, he asked her “What is volleyball and basketball?” Shane told him that everybody knows about those games, but the stranger insisted that Shane explain the games to him. Then he asked her, “During your lunch hour would you like to go for a ride?” When she replied that she didn’t see any car, he pointed to a nearby field and said, “Oh, my vehicle is over there...is a white vehicle”. Shane politely declined. Then came the strangest part of the encounter, as Shane says, “I sort of ended the conversation by saying, “it was nice meeting you”, and she turned around and she thought she took three steps---he didn’t follow her---she turned around just out of curiosity to see where he went, and he wasn’t there. No more than 3 seconds had passed from the time she took the steps and turned around, and there was no possible way he could have gotten out of her sight that quickly. She was stunned. Shane quickly searched the whole area, but the strange man had literally disappeared. She asked some of the girls in the area if they had seen the stranger, and they replied, “Who was that cute boy you were talking with?”

That was not the only incident (see above). About a month later, Shane had another similar encounter, this time in a convenience store. She was in the store looking at a magazine when a man with very thin, blond hair, hardly any hair on his head, and extremely white skin kept looking at her. He wore a black overcoat that covered him completely; it seemed almost too long and big for him. He kept smiling at her and she became somewhat nervous because of his staring and hanging around, he wasn’t buying anything, and as she walked around the store getting things, he seemed to hang in back and when she stopped at the magazine counter and was looking through them, he just kept looking at her in a sort of shy way. He never said a word or anything but she felt his presence behind her all along. She tried to ignore him. Then she turned around again and he was gone. Again, Shane dashed around looking for the strange man, but he was nowhere to be found. She was to experience abduction less than a year later.

Sometime during the night she was awakened by a strong feeling of a presence, like someone with great charisma. She felt very good inside and very excited. She doesn’t know if she was “taken” or what was done but later under hypnosis she said she had been carried by someone, not like a mother would carry you, but more like a load of wood---underhanded. Sometimes she was allowed to walk on the grass, but only after she had been carried for a while. When she woke up later her parents came and got her and they didn’t notice anything different and neither did she.

The 9-year old witness awoke to a high pitch sound that was driving her crazy. She yelled for her father and he came upstairs to see what was wrong. No one else in the house could hear the noise. They both lay across the bed looking out the window at several strange lights moving back and forth across a corn field. Suddenly the lights lifted into the air and disappeared. Her father then instructed her to go back to sleep. A few hours later she was awaken by lights shining into his room. Thinking that it was her brothers she yelled at them to turn off lights several times. She also heard small feet running up the stairs. The witness kept complaining about the lights and several times yelled out to turn it off. Suddenly a voice answered her, “we can’t turn it off”. She turned from facing the wall to see several thin creatures standing around his bed. She was so frightened that he wet his bed. This seemed to disturb the strangers and they asked the witness why he did it. She can remember seeing several of the creatures walking between her brother's room and his room. She had a jar filled with cattails and they seemed interested in that. They also showed interest on a mirror hanging next to her bulletin board and the items on the bulletin board. Her next memory is of one his brothers being in a place which he did not recognize and it appears to be some sort of examination table. She begins to cry and wants to go to her brother but she is not allowed. The creatures then asked her why she was crying and he tells them that he was worried about her brother and that she didn’t want them to “take his brain”. They thought that it was funny and assured the witness that they were not going to do any such thing. There seemed to be shorter creatures which the witness thought were meaner than the taller thinner ones. It seems they had assigned one of thin ones as a type of guardian and it was allowing the witness to touch it and look into its eyes. The witness was very interested in its eyes. The shorter ones would not let her touch them and became quite angry when he tried. Her next memory was of running across the backyard behind her brother and asking what had happened. They were both petrified with fear. The next morning his parents slept longer than usual and during breakfast his brother suddenly got a bloody nose for no apparent reason. As she got older she experienced problems with her reproductive system and doctors found her fallopian tubes completely bent over and twisted.

The large red object was so bright that it illuminated the road, according to Mrs. James E Wells the boy’s mother. It had a band of dimmer red lights flashing around its center. “I stopped,” Gregory recalled. “I wanted to run or scream but suddenly a big tube came out of the bottom, which moved from side to side until it came to me, and a beam of light shot out.” Gregory turned away as the light beam hit the upper part of his arm, knocking him to the ground. His jacket caught fire and the boy rolled around on the ground screaming with fright. Both his mother and grandmother responded. Mrs. James Wells also reported seeing the UFO, which “just faded away.” During the sighting, a large night light on a nearby pole went out. And the dog barked uncontrollably.

He then noticed what appeared to be a group of small children looking over his sister at a burn scar which Sierra had inflected on her earlier on the year. And then one of the figures pointed in his direction and another came over to him and held its hand outward and sprayed some type of liquid on the witness face, after that he could only remember crying in his bed and facing the open front door of the apartment. His parents came and saw the door wide open and rushed in when they heard him crying. Later in the 80’s he began having flashbacks of that night. He remembered walking out the front door and down a narrow street under a full moon, coming up to a cemetery on a hill. He walked for about half a mile over a small hill and saw lights under what appeared to be a large craft. To this day he is convinced that the aliens are getting involved in human affairs.

Three Muslim mechanics stopped on the street and stared pointing at the brilliant white apparition of a woman on top of the center dome of St Mary’s Coptic Church. Soon a crowd gathered, and hundreds of people witnessed the phenomena. Thinking it might be a nun about to commit suicide; the mechanics procured a ladder and started climbing up to rescue the woman. At that moment, the apparition formed a ball of golden light and shot up into the dark blue sky. Before the apparition completely disappeared, however, someone identified it as the Mother Mary. At that moment the figure seemed to bow to the crowd in acknowledgement. Over a hundred witnesses reported spontaneous healings as a result of witnessing the apparition, including one of the mechanics who was cured of a gangrenous finger that was to be amputated the next morning. Other phenomena included silvery winged objects, colored doves manifesting out of thin air, phantom crosses, and large red, perfume scented clouds that appeared and disappeared within seconds.

Its arms, or forelegs, were small, and as they watched, it ambled out of the water with “strange shuffling walk, but quite fast.” They only saw it briefly before it ran into the scrub.

The visitor, who had an “extremely florid” complexion, was smartly dressed in a black suit and white shirt, although his trousers and jacket sleeves were both far too short. “After grinning madly at me for what seemed like ages...the man’s whole body jerked,” Adele told investigator Lynn Pickett. “Then he said ‘Have you got insurance? Is it now?’ His voice was most odd. Like a robot’s---jerky and without feeling. The startled girl asked the “salesman” to call back when her parents were at home. Sweating profusely, he took off his hat and wiped his forehead. A thick layer of carelessly applied stage makeup came off on the back of his hand. He was completely bald, and beneath the smeared makeup his skin looked unnaturally white and “dead”. “Can I see a glass? Of water?” he asked, still grinning fixedly. Afraid that he might faint on the doorstep, Adele invited the stranger in and sat him down in the lounge. He walked with peculiar jerky steps like a puppet; hardly helped by the fact that he had his shoes on the wrong feet. The girl fetched him a glass of water from the kitchen and returned to find him standing by the fireside staring fixedly at a carriage clock on the mantelpiece.
“He made me so nervous I started to blather,” she recalled. “I told him that the clock was my father’s retirement present, which seemed to be some huge revelation to him. He stared at me---still smiling---and said: “It is your father’s time? Is it here and now?” “Then he took the glass of water and just looked at it. I realized that he’d asked if he could see a glass, and that’s what he was doing. After scrutinizing it in a short of polite way, he handed it back, having not taken even the smallest sip.” The salesman seemed mesmerized by the carriage clock. He stood tapping it repeatedly, musing “Your father. Your father. His time. His time”. Finally, he spun around, snapped “Watch the lights!” and, giving the clock an affectionate pat, hobbled out without another word. Adele had to rush past him to open the front door, as it looked as though he was about to walk straight into it. Once he had left, she ran to the window to see who he visited next, but he appeared to have vanished into thin air. Not long afterwards, a cluster of tiny lights appeared and danced around the living room. The clock that had so delighted the extraordinary salesman stopped working following his visit. Years later it started up again during one of Uri Geller’s television appearances and has run perfectly ever since.

11-year old Ruben Walter Rusin was walking out of his apartment building into the patio when a black cloud suddenly enveloped him. Disoriented he soon became aware of lying on something soft. He had the impression he was inside a sphere, and was surrounded by lights. He felt that there was another person in the room who kept telling him to “talk”. Somebody approached him and touched him with very hot hands and kept repeating the same thing “talk, talk.” His family that had been looking for him found him 2 hours later. He had no further recollection.

Looking out his rearview mirror Art Finkelstein noticed a bizarre creature that appeared to be flying at a low altitude above the lonely and deserted road. It was apparently following the witness’s truck. Stunned, Finkelstein almost lost control of his truck. He described the creature as about 5 ft tall, with wings that had about a 5 ft span on each side. According to witness the creature seemed intelligent and menacing. It had large bright penetrating eyes. It followed its truck for about a mile and then disappeared into the darkness.

On the night of May 2 Shane Kurz, a 19-year old girl, had been watching the sky for 2 hours when a luminous cigar shaped object came toward her, stopped, then shot upward, turning red. Miss Kurz went to bed and fell asleep. Her mother waked her at 0400A; she found that she was lying on top of the bed with her robe and slippers on; both were covered with dried mud, as were her legs. Earlier her mother had found her missing from her bed and the door open. She stayed out of school for the next 2 days because of nightmares and depression; her eyes hurt and she needed glasses, and 2 reddish ring shaped marks appeared on her lower abdomen. Her menstrual period disappeared and did not return for a year. Later under hypnosis, she remembered that she went outdoors in response to hearing her name called, and saw a saucer with windows and a revolving rim, hovering close to the ground. It came over her and lifted her inside with a beam of light; she found herself in a bare white room. A man shorter than her, with no nose, wearing a “motorcycle jacket,” and a “doctor” in a long coat, forced her onto a hospital table, and inserted a long needle into her navel. Another man, “the leader,” came in---they all had very “penetrating” eyes with no pupils---and said, “We’ve watched you. You’re the one. We want you as a mate.” He also said that they came “from very, very far.” The other went out and the leader proceeded to undress and to rape her. He said she would not remember. She was floated down to the ground again by a light beam.

Jerome Clark and three other young men had gone to a site where a “ghost light” was reported to be seen, and had chased it fruitlessly in their car. When it re-appeared a few minutes later, against its red orange light they could see the silhouette of a huge figure that was gliding toward them. They took off in the car, but when they looked again from a side road, the silhouetted figure was still visible, and still moving towards them. This time they drove several miles before stopping.

On this day an Albion butcher Charles William “Bill” Smith age about 36 also Father Gerald Boyer and a third witness observed a very large bulbous cylinder in the sky, glowing amber and ejecting numerous auto-sized disks that were also glowing amber. That same evening, Smith witnessed the landing of one of the ejected disks. Several 4 ½ ft tall humanoid beings, clad in silver suits, descended a ramp and again telepathically communicated with him. They attempted to convince him to “go for a ride”. Smith was apprehensive, to say the least, and refused to go with them. They obviously respected his decision, but told him that he will receive subsequent messages that he is to pass along to Father Boyer. Smith also claimed that a helicopter crew landed in his field around that time. When he went out to ask them what they were doing he was to “get out”. Shortly thereafter a plain clothed gentleman who identified himself as “Major Holmes” came to his door asking questions about the encounters. After the helicopter incident, Smith was unwilling to talk or trust anyone connected with the government. Major Holmes inquiry was rebuffed. During an 18month period in 1967/1968 dozens of neighbors, friends, relatives and other visitors observed regular intrusions of glowing spheres over the Smith property. Mrs. Smith daily dairy offers compelling testimony to further support the family’s account.

28-year old Caetano Sergio dos Santos after arriving home after his night duties found a metallic cylinder lying on the right hand side near the back door of his house. It was approximately 17cms long and 15cms wide. He tried to pick it up, but found it was so heavy that it required both hands. Nobody had heard the object fall there and there was only a tiny impression about 1/2cm deep in the ground where it lay. The family consequently concluded that it might possibly be some stolen object that had been deliberately placed there to cast suspicion on them---or perhaps even worse---a terrorist bomb, as the newspapers of Sao Paolo were full of reports of such cases at that period. Caetano carefully surveyed the mystery object for 1-1/2 hours. Its surface was smooth of a dull grayish color (but it shone brightly at night under the electric light, as he was to find later). The two flat ends of the cylinder were covered with some transparent material that was so closely joined to the metal that no junction point was visible, and he found nowhere where he could introduce the tip of a screwdriver, try as he might. The surface of the cylinder was so hard that it was impossible for him to scratch it. Beneath the transparent covering at each end there was a dial, and a pointer to indicate, apparently five numbers, 1 to 5. But on a slightly larger circle, and corresponding to the conventional five “Arabic” figures, there were five other symbols so complicated in their form that Caetano found it totally impossible to reproduce them. The five Arabic numbers and the five mystery symbols were cut in a low relief and there was a sort of engraved groove between the numbers and the symbols. The pointers on each of the two dials seemed to be of the same material as the cylinder itself, but were of different colors, one being black and the other red. The pointers stood respectively on one side of the “O” mark and of the symbol that ceased to correspond to the “O” on the other dial, each pointer having a small ball on its tip. Later went outside to sit in the sun and eat an orange. At that moment an aircraft flew overhead and he watched his mystery object to see if either pointer moved. They did not. So he resolved to dash it violently on the ground, using all his strength, but still there was no response, the pointers did not budge. He and his family were a little shy about showing their queer find to all the neighbors, but he did show it to the people next door. He forbade his two children to touch the object and set it on top of the wall of the shower compartment in his bathroom, between a small oil lamp and two pieces of soap. His wife was expecting a child very shortly, and consequently he was in the habit of returning several times each night to see how she was. On the first night after he found the cylinder, he returned to see his wife at half an hour after midnight, and as he walked past it he noticed the strange glow of the object under the electric light. Back with his work mates at the factory, he told them about the weird object in his house. Returning again to see his wife at 0107A he learnt en route from some neighbors that hey had heard his wife calling for help, so he broke into a run and found the whole house in an uproar. His wife and two children were out in backyard crying wearing only their light nightclothes. It seems that Mrs. Dos Santos had been awakened just before 0100A by a loud humming noise emanating from the place where he had put the object. A strange blue light was also coming from the same spot and a terrifying sort of heat was rapidly pervading the whole house right through into her bedroom. So therefore she decided to turn off the electricity but that had no effect on the luminous, acoustic, and thermogenic phenomena, which continued to grow in intensity. Finding it impossible to remain in the house she roused her two children and ran outside. A few moments later there came a noise like a clap of thunder from the roof of her house and a rain of pieces of tile fell around them. Then there was silence and her husband appeared a few minutes later. When they entered the house everything had returned to normal but the mystery cylinder had vanished, and above where it had stood was a gaping hole in the tiled roof. It was reported that an investigative group had collected pieces of the broken tile and had found a high dose of radiation in them.

A young boy, Anatoliy Grigorevich was sleeping in a hayloft outside of town when he suddenly awoke and noticed a silvery oval-shaped object hovering above the stables. A greenish, slightly blinking light emanated from the top section of the craft. The witness also counted seven round orange colored windows in the lower section of the UFO. Next the witness vaguely remembered that a ladder descended from the object and he started climbing up. After that his memory was seemingly erased. In the morning a neighbor woman told his mother that she had seen the witness standing on the roof of the barn and stretching his arms into the sky. The witness eventually forgot about the strange episode. But in the morning of June 27 1993 while living in Sevastopol all the details of his remote childhood encounter came back to him. He remembered that after he climbed the ladder he walked into a round sterile-appearing room. Several vague figures were standing around, wearing some kind of masks, and white heavy coats. The boy was then placed on a table and medically examined. Something was done to his left forearm. He felt no pain during the entire procedure. He heard a low monotone voice, “You will be released and you will forget everything”. He regained consciousness in his room with an unpleasant feeling in his left forearm and noticed a small protruding scar resembling a whitish line. There was a spot in the center resembling the ace of diamonds with an oval circle in the middle. He had no trauma there before the encounter.

The witness, who was only 5-years of age at the time, was living on Telephone Road at the time and remembers waking up on his bed and thinking “why am I taking a nap?” he got up and went to his parent’s room to find them both asleep on the bed, with the sun coming in through the windows, he tried but could not wake them up. He then went out the front door and proceeded down the driveway, it was deathly quiet, no birds, no cars, no planes and nothing was moving anywhere. As he got almost to the end of their driveway he heard an unusual humming noise. Looking up he sees a disk shaped object floating over the roof of his neighbor’s house. He estimates the craft to be about 6ft in diameter, apparently big enough for one occupant; it has a glass dome and is a brushed silver color. Inside the dome he could see a humanoid that appears to be driving the object using a sort of “joy stick”. The humanoid is dark greenish gray in color and the witness remembers thinking if it was his skin or a body suit, the figure is also wearing a goggle type glasses very round and thick. The witness is now frozen at the end of the driveway, terrified. The humanoid apparently does not see him at first. The object progresses over the neighbor’s yard and crosses the street. Suddenly the humanoid “jerks” his head around to the left and looks directly at the witness. The witness becomes paralyzed and falls off the driveway into a small ditch that borders the road. He can still see but cannot move. His next memory is of waking up back in bed. The little TV in his room is on but has only “snow” on the screen. He screams and begins pulling on the TV electrical cord until the TV falls of the dresser and breaks. This apparently wakes his parents from their “sleep” and his father spanks him for breaking the TV.

Later as the girls stood on a hillock, Kotova suddenly saw the strange “persons” at about 150 to 200 meters from their location; the strangers were gigantic in height. There were three of them and were dressed in something bright red in color. Their height was no less than 4 or 5 meters. The one in the middle was shorter than the other two. One wore what appeared to be skirt. All three gigantic figures headed directly to the witnesses location. Their arms appeared to be stretched forward, as though they wanted to grab the witnesses and the figures made motions with their hands as if going through “water”. At the same time the two taller figures on each side of the shorter one seemed to support it. Their pace was quick and steady, as they kept moving their arms. Both witnesses then ran from the area and after 20 meters Kotova looked back and realized that the entities were no longer present. They had vanished. The witnesses had by now reached the kitchen garden. One of the entities was carrying something resembling a basket in one hand which it kept pointed forward also. Small trees and shrubbery hid the legs and feet of the entities. Kotova was perplexed since there appeared to be no place for the huge entities to hide.

The main witness, his girlfriend Lynda, his best friend Wally and Wally’s girlfriend Carol had been driving around one night when they decided to pull over alongside of a local cemetery where there was no real traffic around. Wally, who was driving, suddenly told the others to look over into the cemetery. They noticed a small lighted object floating around. At first they thought it was somebody with a flashlight playing a joke, but at the speed it moved over the cemetery it would have been impossible for a human. They watched the small orb for about 10 minutes as it flew over the graveyard, crossed the street and sped through a field next to the witnesses. As they all wondered what it was suddenly a bright white light shown down on the vehicle and the next thing the main witness remembered was lying down on what appeared to be a hospital operating room, but somehow he knew that he was onboard a “spaceship”. He was paralyzed and could not even open his mouth to speak. He was terrified as he was surrounded by several short gray colored creatures. One of them communicated to him to stop struggling, that he was going to be fine and he wouldn’t even remember what had happened. There appeared to be 6 or 7 humanoids in the room with the witness. Each had in their hands some sort of what appeared to be a medical instrument. The witness remembered being probed with a large tube-like device with a short needle that penetrated his left thigh just above the knee as the tube appeared to be collecting blood samples. Then one of the humanoids came over to the witness and used another device on his groin area. The witness is unsure what the humanoid did and does not know if it was a sperm or urine sample that was taken. The witness was covered with a yellow sheet. Then they turned him over onto his stomach and he heard the hum of some medical tool being used on the back of his neck just at the beginning of his hairline. He felt no pain but did feel pressure being exerted downwards. Then all but two of gray humanoids left the room and did not return. The other two remained with the witness one standing on each side apparently waiting for something. Just when the witness was starting to move again one of the humanoids injected something in him that made him loose consciousness. His next memory was of pulling into their home town, some 30 miles from the cemetery. They all felt weird and couldn’t remember how they got there, it was already 0320A. They had lost nearly four hours.

It crouched and stared at the witness with luminous slanted grape green eyes; it had pointy ears and a long muzzle, it was about five-foot tall. The witness had the impression that the creature was malevolent and that it was trying to communicate with her, it appeared frail and emaciated. During the earlier incident the witness experienced amazing insights as to the nature of reality that transformed her personality.

According to 12-year old Victor P. Sikilinda who lived in this village almost positioned at the very geographical center of the Crimean peninsula, he and some of his friends---local boys---from time to time had discovered several pieces of ancient weird crockery or pottery in the fields after the fields had been ploughed by the tractors. The pottery was truly amazing with well preserved images of ancient buildings, temples, columns, dragons and other animals. Victor stated that the fine ancient Chinese ceramics could not compare with these, they were pitiful in comparison. The images on the pottery indicated that that a very developed culture had made them. The pottery had a gold-like trim and by all signs quite valuable and interesting for archeologists. Victor admitted in giving all their findings to a local school teacher from their school. Later he couldn’t explain why he and his friends had done that. One night Victor suddenly saw a powerful light source emanating from an unknown source outside which appeared to be hovering low over the ground. The light was in the immediate vicinity from the house of the same local school teacher. Victor was peeping out his window and could see many details, the light was very bright and of a strange unnatural platinum color. The light was definitely not from a car or a truck, since it was evidently positioned in the sky. He then saw the teacher coming out of the house and talking to a tall humanoid entity standing in the background of the bright light. After the talk, like a zombie, the teacher returned to his house and brought out some kind of package which he promptly gave to the tall humanoid. Then to Victor’s amazement and in the blink of an eye, the tall humanoid figure simply disappeared in plain sight. The frightened Victor then saw a light zooming up into the air and disappearing in the sky. The next day when he asked the teacher where the pieces of crockery (pottery) where, the teacher’s eyes suddenly became glazed and in a monotone told Victor that he had been compelled to give it to those who had come to retrieve it, “to eliminate the evidence”. Then Victor understood that the teacher’s behavior and maybe also his own had been “remotely controlled” and that there were indeed teams of aliens engaged in “cleaning” up all material evidence of ancient developed civilizations on Earth. Literally stealing and erasing human history.

As a small boy Peter Good, remembers spending many sleepless nights where voices spoke to him in strange tongues. He says it was as if the voice or voices were so close that they sat on his shoulder. He attempted to scream but was not able to force any sound out of his mouth. Sometimes the voices would be in slow motion that drowned on totally ignoring his tears. He also remembers waking in the middle of the night and seeing a small almost transparent being watching him. The closest he could describe the being is that he was the color of frost upon a window pane. And for some reason he felt that it was a “he”. It would sometimes sit on his pillow, sometimes beside the bed or on top of a small wardrobe. Peter experienced no fear when he awoke to see the little frosty color being watching him in the night. He does not recall seeing any clothing and he thinks it had a small slit where the mouth was. Its eyes were dark but not large, almost Chinese in shape. But it did seem to be swirling with a sparkling energy.

The witness had gone to bed when he suddenly found himself awake in a clay/mud area surrounded by trees next to the elementary school he went to at the time, about six blocks from his house, barefoot and in pajamas. There was a saucer shaped craft that looked like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, and it had a door open and ramp down to the ground. He could see inside and didn’t see any alien beings from his vantage point. When he approached the craft closer he then saw an alien in the doorway which motioned to him. The witness described the aliens he met as a light shade of computer beige, not gray. Their heads were shaped like the grays frequently depicted, but their eyes were normal but large. Their bodies were both small in stature and thin limbs. They did have a nose, but he doesn’t remember any ears, but they seemed more human in appearance than the grays, but definitely not earthly human either. The witness felt both fear and enormous curiosity. Inside there was only one room which took up the interior of the craft. There were no food facilities, restroom facilities or even furniture to sit down. He got the impression that this craft was capable of almost instantaneous flight over great distances, or there was a mother-craft nearby, because otherwise you would need facilities to accommodate a longer flight. There was what appeared like a glass ring about a foot from the inside wall and about a foot off the floor around the inner circumference of the craft, it had a 4-inch minor diameter and appeared to be filled with mercury. The craft itself appeared to be about 25feet in diameter. About a foot to the right of the door there were two coils wound around this ring, they looked like they were separated and contained by separators that looked like they were made out of bakelite. The coils attached to something that resembled a lead acid car battery except there were only three cells, the inter-cell connectors were external and they were larger than car battery cells. This was the only thing resembling anything technological in the craft. He got the feeling that this was a highly simplified version being shown to him for some reason.

The 10-year old witness was woken up by something pulling at her blanket. She pulled up the blanket but the blanket was pulled down a second and third time. At this point she remembers waken up and pulling the blanket yet one more time. As before the blanket was pulled down. She slowly sat up and looked down at the bottom of her bed. There stood this non-human creature, about 3ft tall, large head, large eyes and gray in color. She remembers screaming and the being just disappeared. Her parents responded to her screams. According to the witness, for years this experience has ruled her life. She is now afraid of the dark and has found several unexplained scars on her body including a deviated septum which she has no recollection how it occurred. She is also a cancer survivor. She has a feeling that is “ultra” important that she recalls the complete experience on that night, not because of that particular night but because it appears that other things occurred and she doesn’t remember. During a hypnotic regression the witness could only say, “They don’t want me to remember” and she cried during the whole time. During a second session she was able to recall that the creature had come to say goodbye. The witness also found a peculiar triangular-shaped scar on her face.

Two witnesses, Galena Alekseevna Kazayeva and her partner, both employees at a local chemical laboratory were standing outside of the Kremenchung power station when they spotted a disc-shaped object that Galena first mistook for the moon, but she looked more attentively and noticed that in fact it was an oval shaped disk, emitting light and hovering in midair, close to the plant’s smokestack. Both witnesses walked closer to the base of the stack. Both witnesses now saw what appeared to be humanoid silhouettes through the transparent hull of the UFO. Both witnesses ran to the workshop and reported the event to engineer Husid William Naumovich and then went back outdoors to see the UFO still hovering in midair. They then observed several low flying “Mi” helicopters that appeared from beyond the oil-refining plant the pilots having seen the UFO as well. The UFO then quickly reacted, not waiting for the helicopters to arrive, it soundlessly jerked from its location and zoomed up in a sharp angle to the northwest disappearing from sight in seconds.

While walking along the Ceglie Messapica Road the witness, A. C. noticed at about 100 meters away a very strong luminosity blue-violet in color, about 10 meters in diameter and apparently hovering about 20/30 cm from the ground. Approaching the object he noticed that within the light he could see an illuminated disc-shaped craft. Through an opening he could see two humanoid figures about 1.20 meters in height, wearing tight-fitting dark coveralls and helmets moving about, apparently operating some instruments. Moments later one of the humanoids turned around and stared directly at the witness who felt afraid and turned to run to his car. As he ran away he “heard” a voice in his head telling him: “Do not be afraid we are a peaceful people”, he fled without seeing the object leave. The next morning upon returning to the site he found a depressed section on the ground of about 10 meters in diameter and about 30 cm in depth. He also found a strange looking irregular shaped silvery stone, which he kept. Analysis proved to be made out of “normal” earth minerals.

The main witness and others were stationed at the Cambrai-Fritsch Kaseme (Seventh Evac Hosp Army) outside Darmstadt. The Odenwald Forest was right outside their fence. Their barracks was 20ft from the fence. Their unit was “in the field” so there was no “lights out” and they were playing pool. Soon they noticed they noticed small white Christmas like lights flickering in the tree tops and started watching them. They then noticed that the cue-balls wouldn’t go in the pockets like they should, they seemed to veer away a little. The men thought that there was something peculiar going on but had no idea what. The main witness began to get the feeling of being watched and mentioned it. At least one other person had a similar feeling. It was really bothering the men and one of the new recruits, just seventeen, “was freaking out”. The main witness imagined that whatever it was “could read their minds” and he must have been thinking UFO because he thought telepathically to whatever it was to leave before the young soldier really lost it completely and contact him after he got back home. The odd feeling subsided and he went to bed. A little after lying down he had the sensation of being sucked out of his body. His legs and part of his body felt like they were at a right angle to how his physical body was lying on the bed and his shoulders and head were still in it. Fearful, he began to concentrate in something different and noticed that the fear made him weaker in his “fight” against whatever it was. He then concentrated on a girlfriend and was soon able to get up. He was afraid to go back to sleep so he went back to the pool table and wanted to wait until daylight to try to sleep. A while later he went up to the fourth floor to a friend’s room and looked out the window just in time to see an oval-shaped object take off out of the top of the trees. It was fiery orange in color. The witness and members of his family were to have further sightings.

Walking home after midnight, artist Benjamin Solari Parravicini was suddenly confronted by a fair skinned man with eyes ‘so light in color that he looked as if blind,” who addressed him in an unintelligible guttural language. Looking upward, the witness saw only 50 yards away a hovering aerial craft, with no lights. He became dizzy, and when he recovered, he found himself inside the machine, with 3 other persons. One of these, very handsome, was questioning Parravicini in an alien language, which he was able to understand telepathically. They told him that they would taken him once around the earth, and he observed Japan, France, and Chile before being returned to the same street corner. Since this experience, the alien beings have contacted Parravicini several times.

Soon he again hears the noise and goes outside to investigate. Looking towards a nearby empty field he sees a hovering disc shaped object with a dome on top and one in the bottom, he estimates the craft to be about 1.50 meters in width and 6 meters in length, the craft was rotating in anti-clockwise manner. He watched the object for 45 minutes then the craft shoots away at a ninety-degree angle towards the nearby wooded hills. Mr. Yaru then feels a strange urge to bathe in a nearby brook, which he does, not withstanding the very low temperatures at the time. He strangely felt, as he had to “cleanse” himself. At the same time, a neighbor, Adela Garcia, heard the same noise and noticed in the same empty field a strange triangular shaped cloud from which a giant man-like figure, over 2 meters tall, with long blond hair, descended to the ground. The strange being, which Garcia likened to Jesus Christ, approaches her and she kneels before him. Turning away briefly from the being, she looks up and both the being and the triangular shaped cloud had vanished. At the empty field a large scorched area of grass was found.

On arriving home he found his 19-year old daughter Maria in a faint. She said she had encountered in the vestibule a blond man over 6 ft tall, dressed in a “diver’s suit” of sky blue scales, and holding in his left hand a sky-blue sphere. On his right hand was a huge ring, like a gauntlet half covering his hand. The ends of his fingers and toes emitted light, and whenever his hand pointed at her she felt weak. He smiled and spoke to her in an unintelligible language resembling Japanese for some minutes before leaving. As he walked out the rear door it opened by itself and then it slammed shut as the stranger walked out. She saw what appeared to be a type of skirt on the back of the stranger. Before he walked out Maria felt very dizzy and began sweating profusely in her mind she heard a voice telling her not to be afraid.

At the same time that an asteroid named “Icarus” came very closed to the earth, strange events were reported in northern Italy. A half hysterical woman phoned the police station reporting that three huge, disc shaped object were hovering outside of town, the objects glowed a pale red. Lt. Germonde took the call. Minutes later other witnesses reported seeing “spinning discs” the size of houses slowly descend to the ground in a wooded area near the town. But soon it really got weirder. Germonde received a call from a bar-restaurant owner reporting “huge birds with tiny wings and with faces like humans.” According to the witness there were four or five huge birds flying towards Celano. The strange creatures were described as 3-feet in height and flying upright, as if they were men being propelled above the ground by some unknown force. No wings were visible...only a blur above their shoulders, like the wings of a hummingbird. Whatever kept them flying was small and moving very fast. The creatures reportedly flew at a height of only a few feet above the ground. They appeared to have trouble moving in heavily wooded areas. Their faces were reported to have been human like, which contained a blank look. The next day, Arturo Gerraci, on his way home and drunk, stumbled on a bird-like corpse in the woods. Running all the way back to the tavern howling that he came across the “corpse of a winged monster” in the woods. First reluctant to follow him to the woods, some men did go to the spot and recovered the body of a strange creature. A Dr. Respighi examined the corpse and described it as, “A creature of about 3-feet in height, weighing approximately 41 pounds, having arms and legs formed roughly the same as those of a normal human, that is to say with fingers, opposing thumb, and toes, complete with joint structure. A wing like appendage attached roughly halfway between shoulder and neck on each side of the head. It was made up of tiny, thin, but extremely strong pieces of cartilage, apparently capable of moving very rapidly. The creature had no eyes. In their place was a cluster of tiny, filament like antenna, protected by a tissue thin membrane of skin. It had also gill like apertures capable of oxygen intake. Incredibly as the body was being examined it was decomposing at an incredibly rapid rate. The tissue seemed to dry up and crumble into powdery flakes. Respighi had the corpse put in a freezer, hoping to preserve it, until colleagues could arrive and examine it. By the time they arrived, even on the ice, the corpse decomposed to a grayish white powder.

Shortly after midnight several bursts of machine gun fire were heard coming from a location in the vicinity where militia member Isidro Puentes Ventura was on guard duty. At dawn, Puentes was found unconscious by an Army patrol and taken to a hospital in Pinar Del Rio, where he remained in shock and unable to speak for six days. Removed to the neurological ward at the Naval Hospital in Havana, Puentes was diagnosed to be suffering from emotional trauma, remaining in shock for another week. At the site where Puentes had been posted, Cuban and Soviet intelligence investigators found forty-eight spent cartridges and fourteen bullets apparently flattened by impact, as well as equally spaced indentations in the ground, indicating that a heavy device had landed. Tests revealed that the soil had been exposed to a high degree of heat. When Puentes recovered consciousness he reported that he had come to within 150 feet of a brilliant round object on the ground, with a dome and several antennas on top. Convinced that the device was an American helicopter, Puentes fired about forty rounds at it. The craft turned orange and emitted a strong whistling sound---Puentes last recollection before losing consciousness. Soviet intelligence specialists subjected Puentes to a fifty-hour interrogation after which he was examined by a team of psychiatrists and put through fifteen hypnosis sessions. No contradictions were found in his story.

Many people in the world will see the same thing you have seen. We will talk about this again. If you speak of this, be sure it is with responsible people.” At that point the witness experienced a lapse of memory, for the next thing he recalls was being back in the laboratory, where it took him an hour to compose himself.

However upon approaching the window she saw a sphere hovering at an altitude of about 3-4meters over the ground, at approximately 40meters from her house, emitting a powerful yellow light. The object was about 3-4meters in diameter. She could hear a noise or “murmur” as if several persons with talking among each other in a fast paced chatter. She then noticed several tall figures walking outside the object, these figures wore something on their heads, possibly a helmet, and she could not see any additional details. The sphere hovered above a clearing between trees near some cottages. The witness 10-year old son did not wake up and remained sleeping. Originally the witness thought the men were “electricians” since they were all dressed in light-colored overalls and were apparently engaged in some type of repair. Then she thought that they were engaged in testing some new type of equipment, but she soon realized that what she was seeing wasn’t anything normal. Soon the strange men disappeared unexpectedly entering the sphere via a ladder, she then heard the sound of a metallic hatch closing and the light vanished. Silence followed. She further described the figures as proportional but with somewhat elongated arms. The whole episode lasted about 15 to 20 minutes. The next morning she could find no trace of the events and her neighbors had not seen anything.

A woman had just finished preparing food for her dogs in her kitchen when “I was just taken, immediately, right from inside the house.” She found herself outside, standing paralyzed, watching a thirty foot diameter disk descending. Three aliens came out and dragged her about the ship. The rooms were all like pie-slice wedges and she went by several until coming to the “medical center.” There she was placed on a levitating bed and told that they were going to do “brain surgery.” They calmed her with a wave of the hand and opened the front of her skull. They resealed it without a trace. “What I believe is that they were using a tracking device.” Then she was returned. She believes that this was the first of several abductions.

The witness, a Mr. Walter Rizzi was driving when he suddenly felt sleepy and encountered a fog. He pulled off the road. He smelled something burning and went to investigate; he then saw a silvery white domed disc shaped craft approach. The object landed on three legs. The witness felt unable to move. He saw two beings inside the dome and a 3-meter tall robot with 3 legs and 4 arms, appeared to be working on the craft. A being came out of the craft, he was described as five-foot three inches tall, with a large head, and large beautiful cat like eyes, with a small nose, thin lips, short hair and olive green skin, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He had feet like horse’s hoofs and moved in a hopping fashion. He wore a tight uniform with a transparent helmet with two tubes behind it. The being smiled and greeted the witness, a telepathic conversation then ensued. The being told the witness that in the not to distant future 80% of life on earth would be destroyed due to a polar shift. As the craft took off, a powerful force knocked the witness back. The object left straight up emitting a loud whistling sound.

The main witness, who lived on a 3rd floor apartment along with his wife and young son, was watching television one hot night with his wife. Suddenly the TV reception began to snow, then they heard crying coming from the child’s room. The witness then caught a glimpse of someone in the room and ran to see who it was. When he got to the bedroom window he saw the figure fly away to a point about 200 feet up and several hundred feet south of the apartment. It was headed to an object that was ruby red in color. In seconds the figure was as silver dot and it merged with the object along with 3 or 4 other dots. The object then rose to 1000 feet and went southwest at high speed. The creature was described as about 4-foot tall with large eyes and fang-like teeth. Its arms were disproportionately long, like an ape’s arms. He wore a silvery colored suit and his feet did not appear to touch the ground. He seemed to float across the room and out the open window.

15-year old Oscar Iriart, riding his horse, encountered two strange men who beckoned to the youth; they were 5.5 ft tall, with thin white hair, and wore red clothing. The witness noticed that their legs were semi transparent. They told him, in Spanish, “You are going to know the world. We will take you. But not now, as we have a big load.” They directed his attention to an elliptical object 6 ft in diameter, standing on 20” tripod legs in a drainage ditch. Then one of them handed the boy an envelope, telling him to dip it into a nearby puddle. He did so, and found that neither the envelope nor his hand were wetted. In the envelope, written in a crude hand like a small child’s, was the message, “You are going to know the world, F. Saucer.” The two men then got into their machine through the top, and it took off vertically at great speed. Oscar found both his horse and dog paralyzed, and unable to move for some minutes. At the spot were found 3 holes 5” deep, arranged in an isosceles triangle. 5 local skeptics visited the site at 2315 that night and were amazed to observe a luminous object zigzag above them at low altitude.

A man and his girlfriend were parked on an isolated desert road and were lying on a blanket near the car when suddenly they felt a strong heat wave hit them. The man looked up to see two men, both about five-foot six inches tall, standing next to them, both encased in a soft light. Both wore coveralls resembling divers suits. They had human like faces and were baldheaded. They spoke to the witnesses in a strange unknown language. Behind the men hovered a circular object with several small lights around its middle. The two men raised the witnesses up by their arms and began feeling their naked bodies. The humanoids then made the witnesses kneel and one of them cut off some of the woman’s hair and put it in a container. They then walked beneath the object and were then illuminated by a beam of light and vanished. The object then shot away at high speed.

In an area near the local “Sporting Club” several persons reported seeing a strange sight. Among the witnesses, was Corina Robles who stated that upon going outside to her garden spotted in the sky a huge disc-shaped object which emitted a powerful light from its bottom section. Afraid she ran into the house to get her mother, once outside again the girl now encountered at the same spot where the disc had hovered, a huge robot-like figure no less than 3meters in height. The entity seemed to float in mid-air and then departed slowly flying slowly above the ground until it disappeared behind some hills. Apparently this strange entity was also seen by a 14-year old boy named Francisco Emilio Sola around the same area. Sola had been watching the movements of the disc-shaped object near a hill called “Veinte de Febrero” (20th of February) when suddenly he saw a huge luminous figure about 2.50m in height floating in the air that quickly disappeared behind the hill. Other witnesses including the girl, Silvia Rosa Olmos and two stonemasons reported a similar encounter earlier that day on another nearby hill. That same night 3 police officers reported a UFO above the suburb of “Barrio El Portezuelo”.

In a mountain settlement the witness, Victor Petrovich Kostrykin was lying out on a haystack on one of the numerous pastures in the area. There wasn’t anybody else around. Around 0300A he suddenly saw an unusually bright vertically falling “meteorite”. Then the brightness diminished. The object descended trailing a smoky effusion at a very close proximity to the witness, coming down in a spiraling movement. He instantly came to a sitting position amazed and waited for an imminent explosion, but there was only silence. Close to him was a small wooded area and from that place he sensed something watching him and he was instilled with an overwhelming feeling of terror. He looked behind him and saw a humanoid figure in flames standing still, unmoving. Immediately he fell out of the haystack and ran as fast as his legs would carry him. I thought it was a “Yeti” an Abominable Snowman. He thought in his fevered condition that the Yeti had been torched by our technology and was now in his pain, going to revenge himself upon him. In his headlong rush he had forgotten ten firecrackers he had taken with him, in order to scare off any wild animals. In his panic and confusion he came to a dead halt. His ability to move deserted him; he had no control over his limbs. Every hair on his body stood on end. He was completely free of any pain, but broke into a cold sweat, his heart thumped like a beating drum and his conscious mind was clear. He was soon gripped by a feeling of “suspended animation” and his oppressive fear dissipated. His previous feelings gave way to a wonderful sense of lightness filling his whole being. He then heard a voice calling him. Behind the hill he saw disc-shaped object of immense proportions that could not be of Earth construction. It was bright and glowing; it had a circle of portholes around its center which emitted a bright light. On drawing closer to the object he realized that they were not portholes. They were in fact round mouths of tubes. There were no portholes in the earthly sense of the word. Every tube along the whole radius of the craft pierced deep into the bowels of the object. Like spokes from the rim of a bicycle wheel, they ran to the hub. The light coming from the tubs was a soft milky hue. This strange light circled the body of the object as if under the influence of a magnetic field. It gave the impression of being cocooned in a sea of light. He was met by an alien of very similar appearance to a human being, except in some small details. There were a few tongues of flame running across his silver coverall, which later disappeared. This silver figure had five digit hands and other limbs of similar proportions to humans. He was of slightly higher than average height. Later they explained that a man being in their close presence perceives them to be of regular human dimensions. Their real height is 5-6meters. They can compress dimension or extend it. The color of their uniform was light and around their heads and legs there was a luminescence. The figures were slim, thin with normal proportions; their movement was staid, slow and sublime. They didn’t like when anyone spoke loudly, or wave their hands. They stopped the witness numerous times asking: “Speak, be quiet, don’t wave your hands”. By gesture he was invited into the spacecraft. He crossed the threshold (where beyond stops all of Earth’s powers). It was warm inside. Warmer than on the pastures at that time, his footsteps were muffled. The light inside the craft was soft, not like electrical or our daylight. There were no sharp strong shadows. The light was warming soft-milky, falling from above. He couldn’t remember seeing any bulbs or lamps. Near the wall there was a control desk with colored glimmering buttons. All furniture or aggregates went in or out of the walls or floor. There weren’t any curtains or slide valves on the walls, but walls can move apart and a screen appear. Inside he saw additional figures. There were five of them in the craft. They looked identical like twins and dressed the same. Their heads were large and oval in shape. Their faces were handsome and had something special on their features. Somehow he perceived the feeling that they looked through him and knew his every thought. There wasn’t any hostility or curiosity from their side. The most particular thing was their large wraparound eyes; it seemed that they could see all around them. There was something on their heads that looked like a skull cap made of “gold and stones”. From the side it looked like a field cap. Later he was told that it was a “brain phone” for long distance talks-thoughts transmissions. Soon he noticed that there weren’t any buttons or zippers on the coveralls and all of them were dressed in silver coveralls and thick soled shoes. Their hair was gray and short, and their faces young without wrinkles. The witness presented himself as a native Caucasian. He was told that in the Caucasus there were only 4 native nations that all others were either mixed or brought there. The aliens spoke by using telepathically using perfect modern Russian. They spoke very politely and respectfully. Their voices were young, different in timber and directions. They didn’t open their mouths when they communicated. Among themselves they used a language unknown to the witness; he could remember one word that sounded like “Taila-Laila”. They invited him to sit on an armchair and told him in Russian, “We are now on our way to the mountain” pointing in the direction of Mount Elbrus. As he sat on the armchair two extraterrestrials looking like twins came up to him. One of them had long black gloves on his hands. He noticed that they had long thin fingers and was impressed by the quality of the gloves, which were absolutely black in color. They then took his left hand, turned it edgewise, pulled the thumb aside and took a piece of skin between first finger and thumb using a strange device. It was quite fast without any pain or blood. The witness was curious as to what kind of gloves they were wearing guessing they were for some medical purpose when suddenly the hand in the black glove with all 5 fingers began to sink into his thorax. With wide opened eyes he watched this unusual (spectacular) performance. Only when the fingers touched his heart that he felt a strong pain and screamed, the black gloved hand immediately retracted leaving no traces of blood on his chest. Apparently the witness was healed from an old heart condition. He was eventually returned to the same location where he was originally picked up.

They stopped and had a midnight cookout, toward the end of which a man walking on the road to Villavicencio, “with giant strides,” came up & passed by them without speaking. He was wearing “a sort of one piece Montgomery, fastened at the wrists & ankles,” blue in color, with a hood over the head, and seemed to be wearing spectacles. The area was far from any town and they had seen no one else, and no car, on the road.

After supper Gene Ruegg finally did what he wanted to do all day. He went into the back bedroom of his apartment in a suburb in Memphis and firmly shut the door behind him. He had a consuming interest in radio-telegraphy and mostly spoke to other radio hams as far away as Chicago and Florida on the sophisticated equipment that had cost him over 5,000 dollars to by and assemble. But much of the time Gene Ruegg did something that he knew was technically against the law. He eavesdropped on radio transmissions from the nearby top-secret Air Force Base at Southlands Tennessee and the squadrons of Phantom jet fighters which operated from the airfield. For over two years Ruegg had listened in on routine transmissions between pilots and ground control, fascinated by a world which, as a maintenance manager of a haulage firm, he was never likely to share. But all that changed on the evening of July 9 1968. He had tuned in early to the Southlands base on that date. At first it was just routine transmissions between the tower and aircraft on training flights and he was just about to switch over and call up Montgomery when he realized that something pretty dramatic was happening. An aircraft coded Delta four-zero had disappeared. For fiver minutes Ruegg listened fascinated as the operator called vainly to the aircraft with reply. Then through the crackling static came a voice, “I am being attacked by unidentified objects. I think I...” The transmission went dead. Ruegg realized that he was listening into something highly significant. Feverishly, he connected a tape recorder to his receiver. Seconds after he had finished, the set once again crackled into life. It was the voice of the pilot. This time he was near hysterical and shouting, “They’re closing in on me. I am unable to steer a course. Something is happening to the plane...I am being taken along by this thing. I require assistance. I require assistance...”Then the voice of the controller came in and told him to pull himself together. Seconds later, he said that they had got him on the radar scanner and that they could see objects clustered about the plane. Someone else came on the radio then and told the pilot that other Phantoms in the area had been alerted and would stand by. Then Ruegg heard a strange, searing noise like scraping metal and the pilot shouted something he couldn’t make out. Control tried repeatedly to re-establish contact, but they couldn’t. For the next six years the Air Force the authorities denied there had been any mishap that day. But finally it was admitted: An aircraft had gone missing. Over the years Ruegg has had visits from security men. He has been told to say nothing further about the incident and to hand over the copy tape and transcript, but he has refused. The original tape is in the possession of the US Air Defense Command. He doubts he will ever see it again.

Jennings H. Frederick had been hunting game with bow and arrow when he heard a high pitched jabbering; the rapid-fire message, which he may have perceived telepathically, seemed to say, “You need not fear me, I wish to communicate. I come as friends. We know of you all...I wish medical assistance. I need your help.” Frederick reached into his pocket for his handkerchief and found it was entangled in what he thought were brambles; withdrawing his arm, he saw attached to it a thin, flexible hand and arm, green in color like a plant, terminated in three fingers with needle like tips and suction cups. The hand tightened his grip and punctured a blood vessel as he turned to see a “terrifying being with semi human facial features.” It had slanting yellow eyes and pointed ears, and a body like the stalk of some huge ungainly plant. The eyes suddenly spun, creating a hypnotic effect in the witness, and the pain ceased; the witness froze to the spot while the “transfusion” continued, lasting perhaps a minute. He was then released and the being departed, with 25-foot strides, disappearing into the woods.

A civil servant named Pedro Dema Filho heard a loud humming noise and was blinded by a powerful beam of light accompanied by two green lamps. These vanished, and from a door in an object emerged 4 entities not much over 20” tall, greenish, and wearing something like headphones; they quickly approached him, and paralyzed, he could not run. They seized him and dragged him into their craft, whose interior “looked like a laboratory,” where they questioned him at length about human customs---apparently telepathically, since they seemed to have no mouths. They made him undress and conducted a detailed physical examination, including the introduction into his mouth of an extraordinary luminous wire that made his body transparent. His limbs felt cold, his head spun and his tongue “turned to stone,” but when they finally released him again, and the craft flew off leaving a luminous trail, he felt no further physical effects.

Three girls at a summer camp were sitting outside dining during an unusually silent moonlit night when they saw a bright light descending overhead and joined up with a cigar shaped craft that had now appeared. The objects soon disappeared. As it was already late they decided to go to sleep. It is interesting to note that during this first phase of the sighting all three girls felt an unusual fear. While the girls were undressing their room was suddenly lit with a bright light. One of them looked out the witness and noticed a large bright object about 50 meters away. She thought it was similar to a bus and from it red-orange and yellow beams of light emerged. The witnesses were briefly blinded by the bright beams of light, but the object quickly dimmed, now they could only see a dimly lit fog. The object then began to radiate a greenish dark blue light; it was possible to see a bluish-green stripe around the object, which seemingly had decreased in size. In shape it now resembled a disc; the bluish light completely lit the surrounding woods and frightened the witnesses. The object was in their field of sight for about 5 minutes and they heard a buzzing sound and the UFO disappeared. It seemed to have disappeared behind some bushes by a country road. At this moment the main witness felt a strong desire to leave the house, even though she had felt frozen or paralyzed while watching the object. When she approached the area where the object had been she saw a small humanoid figure which seemed similar to a “woman”. This figure was about 140-150cm in height. On the breast of the humanoid there was something similar like a shiny silvery badge. The entity then suddenly disappeared as if it had dissolved into thin air. The witness then returned to the house and her room. The next morning after a restless night the witness decided to investigate what had occurred. On the location where she had seen the object she found the ground burnt deep into the grass. The burned area was roughly round in shape and was about 2 meters in diameter, other strange tracks were found around the spot where the object had been. Later she told her friends what she had seen, but they didn’t take the story seriously and warned her not to make a “big stir about it”. But other girls who were working in the kitchen that night had gone for a boat ride on the lake that night when they heard a strange loud noise only about 50meters from the lake.

A man out on a hiking trip in the area was scanning some fields with a pair of binoculars when he noticed four bizarre looking humanoids standing on a field. The humanoids were standing around apparently inspecting the area except for one that appeared to be lying prone on the ground. These human like figures appeared to be naked or topless as if sunning themselves in a beach. As he watched, five minutes later a large gray balloon shaped object appeared above some trees. It was flying in a west-east direction and appeared to be about 25 meters in diameter. At one point the object ejected a small sphere that descended in a vertical parabolic trajectory disappearing behind the trees. Soon 4 bell-parachute shaped objects appeared and descend over each of the humanoids covering them completely, each of the humanoids raised their arms as if waiting to be covered by the objects. The parachute like objects then disappeared along with the humanoids. The witness described the humanoids as about 1.40 meters in height, of a robust build with short muscular legs and over-developed calves. Their skin was dark reddish in color and their hair was dark and swarthy. Their heads and faces were peculiar since they had dog or canine-like characteristics.

Adela Casalvieri, night nurse at the Neuropsychiatry Hospital, heard a loud penetrating humming noise outside in the hospital courtyard. Going out to see what caused it, she observed at a distance of 20 meters a landed object, in the shape of two saucers edge-to-edge and brightly luminous, in the middle of the courtyard. A luminous red ray was directed at her and she found her legs paralyzed; putting her hands up to her face for protection, she found she was unable to move, as well. She remained immobilized for a number of minutes, until the red beam was extinguished. At this time the object ascended vertically, and then moved off rapidly to the south, barely clearing the wall around the courtyard. Before it disappeared she was able to observe several human like figures through square portholes that encircled the object; these moved back and forth, passing each other, and were visible only from the waist up. Imprints were found at the landing site and several small potted trees were burned. Mrs Casalvieri had first-degree burns of the face and hands, and parts of her cap and clothing were burned; in addition, her watch, which had stopped at 0130A, was found to be radioactive, as was her ring.

A night watchman named Daildo de Oliveira, on duty at the Central Electric Power Station at Urubupunga, was making his rounds around the main control room when he noticed a dimly lit figure standing next to the entrance. Hoping that the figure did not notice him he attempted to approach. At that same instant he heard a noise that seemed to come from the office area as he turned to look in that direction he perceived another “man” looking out one of the windows next to the door. He could see this figure better and de Oliveira noticed that the man wore a tight-fitting dark colored shirt and pants. Reacting to the intrusion the witness grabbed a piece of iron and walked towards the figure at the window that appeared to be standing with his back to him. Silently approaching to within a meter of the intruder, de Oliveira attempted to strike the figure with the piece of iron but to his surprise this one evaded the blows with swift athletic moves. At this point the witness realized that the figure was in reality facing him. The watchman also noticed that it wasn’t a “normal” person, since it emitted loud grunting sounds and suddenly grabbed the witness, a violent struggle then ensued. As both watchman and intruder rolled on the ground, a second figure came running to assist his companion, this second figure was very similar to first one. Being a strong and agile man de Oliveira now continued to struggle with both intruders. But suddenly a third intruder appeared. The third figure was different from the first two; it did not wear an opaque helmet like the other two, and was wearing light-colored clothing. It had reddish hair, and had very light skin. This figure seemed stronger and pulled de Oliveira by his feet, taking his shoes off, the figure then tore de Oliveira’s raincoat and then struck a blow on de Oliveira’s leg, which caused the witness to lose strength and balance. Then all three humanoids lifted the witness up and dropped him on the ground five or six times until he remained still. The strangers then noticed that de Oliveira was not moving and apparently attempted to assist him, poking him in the ribs several times. At this point the witness heard the red-haired figure pronounce some unintelligible words as the other two remained silent. The witness then ran towards the stairwell, but looked back before getting there and noticed an object resembling a “Kombi” (a small vehicle resembling a Volkswagen) however with a base about 10 meters in width. All three humanoids then entered the object, which rose up into the sky emitting a noise. It rose quickly towards a nearby electrical transformer causing this one to throw off some sparks. It then shot up into the sky quickly disappearing from sight. De Oliveira then summoned another watchman and both searched the area finding the witness’s torn clothing and flashlight and several footprints. Local authorities investigated the site days later.

Armed with sub-machineguns a corporal and several soldiers drove to the spot in a jeep t where a UFO emitting multicolored flashes and making a droning sound was apparently about to land. It settled and three beings more than 6 ft tall wearing silvery uniforms, emerged and advanced with slow, unsteady steps toward the soldiers. The corporal fired a burst of submachine gun fire at them, upon which the beings lifted up their hands to show a small luminous ball, whereupon all the witnesses were overcome by a strange lassitude and were incapable of using their guns. However one of the men, a Corporal Menendez managed to fire five shots without any apparent effect on the humanoids. Only after the figures re-entered the UFO and it had taken off with a zigzag motion did the soldiers recover their faculties.

Five young people, including Paul Sauve, 20, and his sisters, Nicole, and Joanne, and Regent Leger and his brother Dennis, saw two circular objects with brilliant red halos, one of which was seen to land about 1000 ft away. They went out with a flashlight to investigate and encountered a being, 50 ft away that terrified them so that they ran back to the house. It was about 4 ft tall, had a big head ‘imbedded in the shoulders” without a neck, and large round eyes, a flat nose, and having a black or brown skin that was “wrinkled, scabby, with bumps.” When caught in the flashlight beam, it lifted a hand, which was very large, black, and rough, “like the skin of a toad,” and opened and closed its mouth. Then it backed off toward the barn. After they were back in the house, it came up to a window and knocked on the pane, making a “mooing” sound “like a cow.” Later they saw the object take off vertically. A 15-foot circle of crushed grain was found at the landing site.

They turned their backs and there was a brilliant flash of light, and a sensation of heat, with a blast of wind; a few seconds later nothing was to be seen. There was a local police investigation.

All of the sudden she could see that the sun had suddenly changed position, the shadows had moved from what they were a few seconds ago, and time had unaccountably gone by. Her mother then came down and yelled at the girls; apparently she had been looking for them and wanted to know why they had left the younger sister alone. Her mother informed her that they had been looking for them for about 45 minutes. The 8-year old witness could only remember that somebody had told her that it would be all right, that the baby would be sleeping and would not wake up. When the main witness was 12-years of age she was hypnotically regressed and was able to remember some of what had occurred on that day, she described being in a white room with white tables that were real cold, like metal and really bright lights and white astronaut-like figures that wore thin suits. These figures had really big heads and large black almond-shaped eyes, two holes for a nose and spoke to the witness via telepathy.

While riding bikes and listening to the CB radio in the high desert area one evening the main witness heard a commotion on a nearby hill and heard someone yell “flying saucer!” Going up to look he noticed an aircraft down on the other side of the hill about 60 to 100 yards away. The object was sort of rounded. Its base was larger than its rounded top and it was sitting on three or four legs, which all had round feet. A door was opened---like a chopper door that folds out and down. The underside of the craft was lighted with a beige diffuse light. The door was open facing the witness and there was a yellowish light inside. There were three men outside doing something. One seemed to notice the witness. The men all looked to be in their twenties, had short blond hair and were dressed in what appeared to be a gray, silvery jumpsuit. After some minutes the men got back inside the object, the door closed in a normal manner, and it started an easy vertical take off. There was no noise as the object rose to about 40 ft up, turned off its bottom light and blue and red lights came on. The take off seemed to change the local air pressure considerably. The craft then shot away slowly into the night and vanished.

A group of individuals, under the leadership of General Alfredo Moacyr Uchoa, had taken up residence at the plantation of Wilson Da Silva, near the capital; several sightings were recorded and photograph taken. After five months of observations and as predicted by Da Silva, who had been in telepathic communication with the aliens, a brightly illuminated disc came down at the designated spot on his property, hovering 4 ft above the ground. The party of observers took photographs. As Da Silva left the group and walked toward the landing site, he saw a door open in the object and a normal sized man, wearing a blue coverall with a wide belt, descended. Upon his return to the group, Da Silva could remember nothing except the message he had received, which was, “We are peaceful. Your atomic experiments are causing an imbalance in our world.” The craft shot up into the sky while he was returning to the group. Additional contacts were claimed subsequently, into 1969.

During their tenure as summer camp employees, Michael Lapp, a sixteen year old maintenance man and 19-year old water ski instructor Janet Cornell were relaxing at a boat dock on a slack day. On this particular August afternoon, the swim team had a made a trip to Burlington to compete in a meet, and the camp was virtually deserted. Late in the afternoon, the two friends were enjoying the view of the sun setting over the water, when a bright light appeared in the darkening sky. Michael thought they were being treated to a beautiful; close up view of the planet Venus. All of a sudden, the glowing light began to move downward, and ever closer to Michael and Janet. The object, at first a round glow, now began to flatten out as it approached even closer. Michael shouted, “Wow Venus is falling!” As the two steadfastly watched the light, three smaller lights seemed to drop from the larger one, which quickly moved up and disappeared from sight. The three smaller objects moved over the lake. They were obviously under intelligent control. The objects put on a type of show for Michael and Janet, doing zigzag maneuvers, loops, and then descended like falling leaves. The three objects now moved even closer to the two baffled teenagers. After forming a triangle, two of the objects pulled back. Michael would later recall a sound “like a thousand tuning forks” when the two left, leaving a single craft behind. The lone UFO passed over Michael and Janet, and then shot upward and momentarily disappeared. It very soon reappeared, tilted to one side, and dropped into the lake. A couple of minutes seemed to pass before the object reemerged from the water, and began gliding straight toward them. The object was now close enough to see a transparent dome occupied by two childlike creatures. Michael would describe the beings as having elongated necks, big heads, and no hair. Their eyes were also large, and extended around the side of their heads. Michael began to sense a kind of communication with the two beings. Watching them intently, Michael slapped his knee, and to his surprise, one of the occupants mimicked his movement. The craft now moved overhead, and shot a beam directly at Michael and Janet. Grabbing Janet’s shoulder, Michael pulled both of them on their backs on the dock. Frightened by being kidnapped, Michael remembers screaming, “We don’t want to go”! The light from the beam was so bright that Michael recalls being able to see the bones in his hand. The two teenagers both related that the beam had a “liquid” feeling to it, and gave them the sense of floating. Their next conscious thoughts would be that of staring at the object again from the dock. The sky was now totally black and Michael wondered how long he had been in this one spot. Looking at Janet, Michael could see that she was in a trancelike state, drowsy and disoriented. The UFO now moved upward into the black sky, flashed its light beam repeatedly and then vanished from sight. Strangely, Michael and Janet did not discuss what had happened to them. After summer camp they both went their separate ways. Years later under regressive hypnosis, Michael vividly recalled his experiences that August night of 1968. He remembered how the beam of light lifted him into the craft’s interior, how he entered a bigger craft, and how he saw Janet lying on a table being examined. The small beings shone a light into her eyes, scraped her skin, and took fluids from her body. Michael recalled that the aliens were very similar to each other. They had large eyes, a mouth without lips, no ears, and two small openings for a nose. He also described the beings as having three pointed, web-like digits for fingers, and their bodies felt “damp and clammy”. The aliens related to Michael that their mission was to “make life like ours in other places.” Janet also underwent the regression. She recalled feeling cold on the examining table, with something “pulling her hair, and pinching her neck.” Other camp employees reported seeing UFOs over the lake around the same time.

17-year old local Andrzej (AKA Jedrek) Domaa was picking mushrooms in a nearby forest. As usual he planned to collect mushrooms and sell them during Sunday’s fete. When he entered the forest he was surprised at the abnormal silence around him. Anxious he rushed towards the fence of a local military garrison (OPK) but when he turned his head he spotted a strange woman standing about a dozen meters from him. From the waist up she looked quite normal but the rest of her body from the waist down was dwarfish in appearance. She was dressed in a tight-fitting uniform without buttons or zippers. Only her face was visible. She had neither lashes nor eyebrows. Her eyes were big, slanted and devoid of white. Despite of the unusual appearance of the eyes, these emanated a kind of “softness”. Her nose was tiny and her mouth resembled a small horizontal hole, she was about 160cm in height. For some time both Andrzej and the strange woman stared at each other and then she came closer and began to draw geometrical symbols on the ground. Then unexpectedly he fell asleep. In a “dream” he saw himself lying in something like a laboratory table. He was then placed inside some kind of device and then tubes were connected to him and he then levitated up in the air. The strange woman stood on the floor. Allegedly he then had sex with the alien woman. He later woke up on a field in the same location in which he had observed a strange “stain” on the sun’s surface. It was midday. He thought that he had hallucinated but then found strange footprints pressed on the soil. The footprints led to within the forest. When he went into the forest he found his bag. He claims that after the encounter he changed as a young man. He became more sensitive, and claims he was able to help the elderly. There was controversy related to this case as the witness claims that he had “children” from the extraterrestrial woman.

The being had long blond hair and bright blue eyes and was dressed in a one-piece suit of gray color, including gloves and shoes, and corrugated all over.

Mr. Davis jumped up and the figure, who had been watching the sleeping couple, stared guiltily and floated from the tree, moving across the road 40 ft away, and about 2 ft off the ground, moving with a slight undulation, “legs swinging, like walking away, only not touching the ground.” He was lost to view in the distance. The encounter lasted approximately a minute. Mrs Davis was asleep throughout.

Pedro Aylagas saw a lighted object in his fields, descending and emitting an upward directed beam of light; making an abrupt maneuver, the object then shone its light on the witness, blinding him and making his hair stand on end. The object descended in a spinning motion, stabilized, and displayed 4 large windows on top, and 4 smaller underneath. As he watched, he saw 4 “small dark objects” ejected from its central part, which landed on the ground; after about one minute they arose and re-entered the hovering UFO, which then ascended and disappeared in seconds. The entire incident lasted about 7 minutes. Others independently reported seeing the object depart.

A group of children on four consecutive days saw a strange being hanging onto a boulder overlooking a cemetery. He was a dwarfish humanoid about 4 ft tall, with a shaven head, naked chest and a heavy black beard, and with a red and bumpy skin, “like that of a lizard.” This being would disappear into thin air unexpectedly. Also a roaring noise was heard in an excavation at the foot of the boulder, and a kind of “flying saucer” was seen, about 30 ft wide and colored blue, white and red; it left a long trail of smoke, and each time it “looked as if it were trying to land behind the boulder.” The children were Denis Bogus, 7, who saw the object; his brothers Michael and Andre, and their uncle, George Bogus; other adults who subsequently observed the phenomena were Normand Daigle and Luc Cadorette.

Emilia de Salazar was alone with her children at home that night when she heard very loud knocking at the front door. Without opening the door, she pulled back the curtain and saw a very tall man like figure over 2 meters in height that appeared to have no hair or ears, with a large mouth and teeth. The being wore a tight fitting dull black outfit and had very long dangling arms. The being’s eyes also shone with a brilliant light. The stunned witness could not move and watched the strange figure move away backwards without taking his gaze off her. Emilia thought she could hear a muffled laugh coming from the figure.

Then the girls saw a tall man in black trousers and a black and brown shirt appear near the object; there was nothing unusual about his appearance. The object was not reported to be seen leaving, but later, at the landing site, there was found a circle of pressed down grass.

The man had his hair brushed back and as he confronted the witness he stared at him with considerable alarm for a few seconds, as if shocked to confront anyone. He then turned around and vanished in plain sight. In amazement and fear the witness went to the spot at once and tried to find a means by which the figure could have appeared to vanish.

Hearing a sound outside the farmhouse Larry Abbott, his father and a relative, Arnold Hubbard, went outdoors to look. Then, from the opposite side of the house, they heard a rustling of weeds. Grabbing a flashlight they saw a “monster” rising from the tall brush about 50 ft away. It was walking toward them, and appeared to be about 10 ft tall and about 4 ft across the shoulders. Its arms were long, like an ape’s. In the flashlight beam the monster’s hairy body was a beige color; its eyes glowed over a nose that was beyond Larry’s ability to describe. The teeth were prominent and protruding, the ears pointed. But the feature that Larry remembered most was the thickness of the shoulders. “The thing put me into a sort of trance,” said Larry. “I couldn’t talk. Maybe it was just fright, but I couldn’t open my mouth. And nobody else talked either. Maybe we were all in a trance.” Larry said when he played the light beam on the monster it dropped down to the ground and was lost from sight. Then, a few minutes later, they could hear it again, near the garage. Alarmed, Larry’s father returned to the house and brought back a .22 rifle and gave it to Hubbard, who wanted to stalk the beast. As the men moved across the open field, the creature suddenly stood up in clear view about 50 ft away. When Larry got it in the beam of the light, Hubbard fired. His first shot was a direct hit. The creature screamed hideously, a scream that Larry will never forget. Two more shots were fired. Unbelievably, before the eyes of all three men, the creature was suddenly enveloped in a white mist. In less than a minute the mist vanished, then darkness. The three men searched the spot where the creature was shot and found no trace of it.

While driving from Haapajarvi to Helsinki, Mr. Helge Lindroos picked up a hitchhiker at Evijarvi. During the course of driving, Lindroos felt “electric vibrations” through his body. The stranger then told him that he “came from space,” and was last on Mars and had landed on earth only a short time before. He said there were “thousands” of them on Earth but that they didn’t show themselves to all humans, since people “are still afraid of humanoids.” The man appeared completely normal, about 170-cm. Tall and weighing about 170 kilos. He urged Lindroos to relax, assuring the man that he meant no harm, that they were here to protect humanity “from destruction.” At some unspecified point the stranger asked Lindroos to stop and got out. Lindroos was about to remove the key and get out for something to eat when he saw the stranger had vanished; he could see in every direction for 50 meters, but the stranger was nowhere in sight, and the fastest sprinter in the world could not have covered the distance in so few seconds. For several weeks after this encounter, Lindroos felt the electric vibrations throughout his body.

Mrs Kok awoke in the early hours of the morning and gut up to make coffee. Seeing a light in her backyard, she looked out her window and was surprised to see three normal looking men standing in the yard, one of who was standing with his back to her. Three bright beams of light shone down on them from above, coming from a Saturn shaped UFO that gave off a shrill sound like “electronic music.” The semi-spherical underpart of the object was rotating, and the object appeared metallic. It was slightly higher than the two adjacent buildings. Mrs Kok could see the men’s faces and was surprised by their entirely human appearance since, seeing the object directly above them, assumed they were “spacemen,” who she felt must look different than humans. Apparently aware of her presence at the window, the three figures suddenly began rising into the air in the beams of light, disappearing into the underside of the object, which the began rotating more rapidly and, with an increase in sound, took off straight up at a moderate speed.

At a local army barracks, a sergeant was suddenly alerted by his fierce Turkish wolfhound of something strange that was going to happen, the dog, seemed terrified and would not respond to none of his normal commands. The sergeant then became aware of a high-pitched whine. He opened the door to see what it was and was horrified to see a weird figure floating up the stairs. The figure was humanoid and very tall; it wore a blue tight fitting suit. Its face glowed orange, it had large round eyes, and it had red hair that was standing up in all directions. The being swiveled its head at an impossible angle and looked at the now terrified witness. The witness locked the door and sat on his bed trembling. The loud whine now increased as the dog became even more terrified. The witness then armed himself but eventually the whining sound ceased and the humanoid apparently left. Another soldier found him in shock later. The dog was useless as a guard dog after the incident.

Two casino workers, Juan Carlos Peccinetti and Fernando Jose Villegas, were driving home after work at 0330A when the engine of the car quit and the lights went out. Peccinetti was just getting out of the car when both men found themselves paralyzed and face to face with three strange, 5-foot beings with unusually large heads, with bald pates, and wearing coveralls. Behind them was seen a circular or oval UFO 12 ft across and 5 ft high, hovering about 4 ft above the ground and directing a bright beam of light downward. When the entities came close, the witnesses heard a foreign-sounding voice repeating, “Do not fear.” Then they were told; “We have just made 3 journeys around the sun, studying customs and languages of the inhabitants of the system...Mathematics is the universal language.” Meanwhile, another of the entities, using a tool like a soldering iron, was making inscriptions on the doors, windshield, and running boards of the car. Next, the witnesses saw a circular TV-like screen, on which there appeared first a waterfall, then a mushroom-shaped cloud, and then the waterfall again, this time with no water. Finally the beings took hold of the witness’s left hands and pricked their fingers 3 times, taking blood samples, after which they ascended to their machine along the light beam. There was an “explosive effect” and the object rose and disappeared. The witnesses ran to a nearby military college to report their experience. They later retracted their story, but there are indications that there was coercion; in fact, authorities in Mendoza quickly made the “spreading of UFO rumors” a criminal offense in Mendoza to discourage widespread rumors on this and other cases occurring about the same time.

19-year old Richard Brinkerhoff had come home from work one night and found that his parents and brothers and sisters weren’t home. It was getting late so he went to bed. He shared a basement room with a younger brother. The room had no windows and when the door closed it was pitch black. After lying there for a while, he opened his eyes and could make out the pattern of the wood paneling in the room. It was as if the door was open and the light was on down the hall. He halfway rolled over to see if the family had come home. He could see a figure standing next to his bed and assumed it was his brother, so he lay back down. He sensed he was still standing there, so the witness rolled over again and indeed ‘he’ was still standing there. He could see that whoever was standing there was wearing red and had long, messed up red hair. He knew his brother had been wearing a red t-shirt earlier and for some reason he thought he was wearing an old red wig their mother kept for the younger children to wear when then played dress up. He still thought it was his brother so he asked him what he wanted. He then lay back down and waited for him to respond. There was nothing but silence. He again asked him what he wanted. Still no reply, but continued to stand there silently. Getting impatient Richard sat up in bed and turned and faced him. He asked a final time what he wanted and when there was again nothing but silence, he put out his arm to push him away. To his horror his hand went right through him, and while he was sitting there looking at his hand, the figure floated backward and all the light in the room gathered around it and it got smaller and smaller until it became a pinpoint of light and then just went out. Terrified the witness jumped out of bed and turned out every light in the house he could. But whatever it had been it had disappeared.

While oiling his bulldozer’s engine, Doribio Pereira saw, only a few feet away, a cigar shaped craft of golden color, hovering a foot or so above the ground. Then he saw, on a platform that extended from the base of the object, a person who drew from his sleeve a weapon resembling an electric drill, which he pointed at the witness; it emitted a bright flash and Pereira found himself paralyzed. He could see, however, that inside the cigar, which had a “glass roof,” there was a man using both hands on a sort of typewriter; below, on the extended platform outside the object, he saw 3 men standing. One of these was taking soil samples with a “conch shaped object.” Then the craft flashed a very vivid light 3 times, the platform now retracted, and under the cigar appeared “something like an electric polisher, rotating at high speed.” It then took off with a slight sound. The men were lean, about 5’5” tall, and dressed in blue knee length robes, hoods, and brown sandals with cross garters to the knees. Pereira, in a state of near shock, was given a lift to his home; from there he reported to the Town Council offices; because of his nervous condition, he was sent to a medical examination, upon which Dr Antonio Geris found entirely normal. Officials of the Brazilian Air Force later subjected him to an intense interrogation.

After retiring at 2300, Miss Z, 20, was awakened “in the early hours of the morning” by a “strange feeling.” Looking around the room she saw nothing unusual, but then heard a “high-pitched whirring sound.” She went back to sleep but was again awakened; this time she found that she was unable to move and, after several moments, again heard the same “whirring sound.” Looking straight ahead, she saw three figures facing her, each wearing shiny silvery suits. She found that she was again able to move as two of the figures approached her. Their faces had no recognizable features but were covered with “lumps.” After standing next to her for several minutes, the two figures walked to a “bell shaped” craft in the corner of the room; they walked up what appeared to be a flight of steps and “disappeared” into the object; followed by the third entity, which had remained in his original position. The object had a faint glow, but Miss Z could see no door through which they entered; they simply walked into the side and disappeared “by getting smaller.” There was no way in which an object of that dimension could have fit into the room. It disappeared by moving upward through the ceiling while rapidly rotating. The figures were of normal height; she could recall no specific details regarding arms and legs but was sure they were of general humanoid shape. Around the same time, the percipient’s father had two remarkable experiences both around the time when he was waking up. On one occasion he saw a large number of tiny storybook dwarfs with strange, patchy, faces, running about the room, riding tiny horses. On another occasion there were about a dozen figures, wearing glittery silvery suits. These were quite different from the figures described by his daughter, being normal-looking human figures and the suits were of a normal style, resembling glitter suits worn by show business personalities.

A man returning home from working in a farm watched what at first looked like a bright star in the southeastern sky. The light then grew in size rapidly and appeared to be coming at him on a perpendicular trajectory. Then it was very close to him as he was driving over a hill about two miles from his home. It was huge and hovered over a nearby swamp. He stopped the car and, got out and studied the craft, which was about 800 yards away. It was saucer shaped emitting a very bright pinkish red light. He could see what looked like bars connecting the two saucer shapes together. In between the bars were windows and he could see figures inside looking at him. This terrified him and he got back into his car and sped off for home. The craft kept up with the car and stayed about ¼ mile to his left. At one point the craft went over him and flew away at high speed.

Driving through the desert to California at 0300A, Michael Watts, and a hitch hiking passengers saw a “falling star” that stopped and shot back up again. They got out of the car and walked toward a distant light source at ground level; at the site, they then heard a sound like “digging,” and dimly saw 2 shadowy forms 4 ft tall, 15-20 ft away. The figures seemed to have large heads and abnormally long arms. Then the hitchhiker suggested they go back for a gun, the figures vanished. Other maneuvering lights were observed. The light on the ground proved to be 4 lights, one of which took off into the air. Then something sounding like a train passed by at a distance; it had a string of lighted windows in which silhouettes of passengers sitting up were visible. After this a dark lens-shaped object having a flat dome on top and a row of pulsating multi-colored lights around the edge approached the witnesses quite closely. As dawn came, the ground light could be seen to be on a pale cigar shaped object. Cloven footprints were found where the beings had been seen. Watts believe he may have had a memory lapse. The hitchhiker cannot be identified.

Damiani approaches the truck, and sees four foreign looking occupants, human-like wearing brown tight-fitting coveralls with silver belts. One of the men asks (in perfect Spanish) Damiani where was the exit road of the ranch. The strangers then drove away, without explaining how they had gotten in the ranch on the first place, since they had come from the rear of the ranch, which was completely circled in a strong barbwire fence and with several guard dogs around. Damiani found no sign of force entry on the wires or tracks (!). The day before his brother had found a dead and mutilated calf and next to it a circular impression on the ground. A neighbor, Mr. Pertusatti reported seeing a very bright white light hovering over the fields in the days prior to the above encounter.

Mr. And Mrs. Buck McMullen were alerted b the barking of their dog outside their home, just as they were about to sit down to dinner. The dog, howling and whimpering, broke loose from his chain and ripping a hole through the screen door barreled in to cower under the table. Going out, accompanied by the son’s fiancée, Sharon Thompson, they saw 50 yards from the house a transparent spherical object hovering over a palm tree, giving off a purplish red light. Inside the sphere were visible two standing men dressed in white, tight fitting uniforms with close fitting hoods, who were operating a horizontal bar pivoted to a metallic central column. As they worked the bar up and down, the craft rocked back and forth, slowly gaining altitude; finally it emitted fire and sparks and sped out of sight. It left a strong odor of ammonia behind. The object had been visible for approximately 20 minutes. Prior to its appearance the family had noticed audio and visual interference in their TV set.

Robert Thompson, 14, and two other students at the School for the Deaf, were outside their dormitory when they saw a bright light in the north. It began descending in a zigzag fashion and landed with a flash in the playing fields to the west of their position. They climbed a small hill overlooking the fields on the east where they saw the object had landed between the physical education field and the football field, a distance of several football fields from where they stood. The object was large as a house and oval, brightly lit, with bright yellow lights around the central edge. It made a sound “like bees” and Thompson’s hearing aid was affected by it. A brightly lighted door appeared on the periphery out of which floated an 8 to 9 foot “apparition with a large head and small body. They saw no legs and the most prominent features on the head were two large cat-like eyes and large lips. After being briefly observed for a minute or less, both object and entity abruptly disappeared, “like turning off a light switch.” Traces were found at the site, consisting of four 2-3” circles placed in a square of some two meters per side.

Engineer Alberto Zecua and other were out camping in an isolated area near the railroad tracks heading towards Cuernavaca, when one morning he woke up feeling a strange attraction to a section of the nearby woods. As he reached a clearing surrounded by tall pines he saw an orange-lighted object hovering just above the ground, seemingly suspended by a column of orange light. The craft was silvery-white in color, disc shaped with a small turret-like dome on top. Three tall human-like figures were moving around the object. Two of the figures were inserting chrome-plated tubes into the ground as if collecting soil samples, the other one stood with its back to the witness. These figures wore tight fitting coveralls and silvery oval shaped helmets. Apparently sensing the presence of the witness the one standing up suddenly turned around to look at him. The being was described as human-like, very handsome with fine chiseled features and penetrating blue colored slanted eyes. At this point Zecua began feeling nauseated and could not move. Perhaps sensing his discomfort the tall figure approached and pressed a button around a wide belt on his waist, a beam of green light emerged, bathing the witness from head to toe. After this happened the witness felt much better. He soon began hearing telepathic communication from the being, telling him to remain calm and not to be afraid. The being was easily over 2 meters tall and as he stood next to the witness he removed his helmet, showing long blond shoulder length hair. Still using telepathy the being told Zecua that they recognized him and that they had “collaborated” with him before. At one point the tall being took Zecua by the hand, pressed another button on his belt and a sort of wispy cloud emerged. On it Alberto saw images of what he was told was his past lives. While all this was taking place the other two beings continued collecting plant and soil samples. Before leaving Alberto asked the beings for some sort of proof of the encounter, but they refused. He bid them goodbye and ran towards his tent to obtain his camera and a pair of binoculars, at the same time waking up the disbelieving members of the campsite. As he ran back to the site of the encounter he saw the craft slowly leaving the area and apparently was able to take several photographs.

The man identified himself as Vi-Dal from Venus, and said he was the same spaceman whom George Adamski knew as Orthon. He was here “to help my brothers of other planets in their missions here on your beautiful island”. He added that they were keeping “tabs” on what the Arecibo Observatory was doing regarding space exploration. He wore his hair long so as not to be conspicuous; he added that he will not be spotted because he just looked like a hippie. They went on to talk at great length for two hours and one of the things Vi-Dal told Rosas was that George Adamski was now reincarnated on Venus.

A French doctor was awakened by the sound of his 14-month old son crying. His son was standing in his crib pointing at the window: behind the shutter a bright light was moving. After the child had gone back to sleep, the doctor went out onto the balcony. He saw 2 glowing discs in the sky, silvery white on top and bright red underneath. Each had a tall antenna on top and one on either side, and they were directing a narrow beam of white light towards the ground below. The 2 objects slowly drew closer and merged into a single object, about 200 ft in diameter and 50 ft thick. It approached the doctor, and then tilted 90 degrees so that the beam of light struck him. He then heard a loud bang, and the object evaporated into a whitish cloud that dissipated with the wind. A thin thread o flight rose high into the sky before vanishing, as a white dot and exploding like a firework. A few days earlier the doctor had accidentally cut a vein in his leg while chopping wood, and a decade earlier he had stepped on a landmine in Algeria, leaving his right side partially paralyzed. After the above sighting, he found that the swelling and pain from his leg injury had vanished, and the chronic after-effects of the injuries he had sustained in the Algerian war improved dramatically in the days that followed. A few days after the encounter, the doctor and his child each developed a strange, reddish, triangular mark on the abdomen, and this mark recurred in successive years. Strange paranormal phenomena began to take place around the doctor and his family, including poltergeist activity and unexplained disturbances in electrical circuits. The doctor began to have mysterious meetings with a strange, nameless man he called “Mr. Bied.” He would hear a whistling noise inside his head and would feel guided to walk or drive to a certain location where he would meet the man, who would discuss his UFO experience and paranormal matters. Mr. Bied caused him to experience apparent teleportation and time travel, including a distressing episode with alternative landscapes on a road that does not exist. The stranger also once visited the doctor at his home accompanied by a 3ft tall humanoid with mummified skin, which remained motionless while his eyes quickly darted around the room. The doctor experienced uncontrolled levitation on at least one occasion.

Two young sisters, Afrodit & Eugenia Lovazzano El-Far, 12 and 9 years of age respectively, were playing on a Sunday night in front of their home when they suddenly saw a large ball of fire approaching from the nearby mountains, which quickly came to a stop in front of the girls. The first to see the red ball of fire was Afrodit who was on her bicycle and noticed a red light suddenly appear from behind the mountain. It resembled a brilliant star. The red light seemed “gelatinous” in nature and soon changed to a greenish tint. Both girls could now clearly see what appeared to be a small “woman” inside the luminous sphere. The strange entity had a large mouth which seemed to be moving repeatedly, apparently calling the girls; it also had a pair of large pointed ears. Moments later the small woman exited the sphere and approached Afrodit who then attempted to run but was unable to move due to a strong “pulling” force, which apparently pulled her by her blouse and suspended the girl in midair. When Eugenia reached the kitchen door the force seemed to release Afrodit, who suffered from earaches, hoarseness and what appeared to have been scratches on her waist area. It was later determined that a third girl, 12-year old Monica Patricia Lagos also saw the bizarre apparition, which she described as a ball of fire, which floated around over the ground and then disappeared in a flash.

Speaking in perfect Spanish the stranger informed Donis that his named was “Francisco Atienza” and that he was a descendant of extraterrestrials. The stranger was totally human in appearance and wore a one-piece gray diver’s suit. A long conversation ensued between “Atienza” and Donis, which took place inside the witness car. Atienza told Donis that he came from a planet called “Urin”, whose original inhabitants were short large headed humanoids. However there existed on “Urin” a human colony, which lived under huge glass domes, since the atmosphere of “Urin” was toxic to humans. He further explained that life under these conditions had caused a massive sterilization among the human colony, which had more female members than males.

Seconds later an invisible “shock wave” struck his Citroen, making the vehicle sway from side to side. There wasn’t anybody else on the road and there appear to be fog on both sides of the road. However the witness decided to continue his drive and after rounding a curve at a spot about 300meters away to the left of his car he observed a strange figure which at first he thought was a “Civil Guard”. However as he approached the figure and the headlights illuminated it clearly he realized that it was not a guard. He drove slowly by the figure and was able to describe it as man-like about 1.70m-1.80m in height. Its legs remained together and its arms hanging straight down on its sides. The figure was wearing a tight-fitting diver’s outfit completely covered in tiny red, green and blue lights, “like a Christmas tree”. As the witness came upon the figure the intensity of the lights seemed to increase. He could not see any facial details but noticed that it had dark hair, somewhat longer than normal. It wore black gloves and boots and remained completely still as the witness drove by. A couple of days earlier a motorist driving on the same road had seen a metallic domed disc hovering above the road.

They got out of the car to watch as the UFO hovered over the house. It was dish shaped and dark underneath, with a transparent dome on top illuminated by white, amber, and green lights. Inside this dome several silhouetted figures could be seen walking about and occasionally bending down. The figures were human like in appearance. After about 5 minutes the object began to rise and move away with jerky movements, the lights becoming so intense as to hurt the eyes; the witness drove away before the object had vanished.

The primary witness was on a bus that stopped for a while at Macedo; there she saw, about 40 yards away, a domed metallic UFO the size of a small car, hovering only a few feet above the ground. Around the rim a row of changing lights gave the impression of spinning, and beneath it a patch of violet light was cast to the ground. A door in the object was open, with 3 steps below it, and standing in front of the UFO were 3 6-foot tall figures of human appearance, wearing skin-tight shiny black coveralls, and shiny black boots. The suits were one-piece, covering the heads, so that only the face was left exposed. One of the men was carrying a cylindrical implement 2 ft long and 3” thick, with a thinner tube of aluminum like material coiled in a spiral around it. Facing the beings was a crowd of about 20 people including 3 police officers, who had their guns drawn; two police cars were parked nearby. After a short time a beam of silver light shot forth from the cylinder and the people closest to the beings were paralyzed; others felt as if in a faint. The men walked calmly back to the object, which they boarded; the craft then took off and rapidly climbed out of sight. The incident had lasted about 15 minutes.

At sunset Alejandro Gonzalez Reyes, 34, went out of his house to seek his wife. Then, 230 ft away, he saw a metallic object; descend from the sky to an altitude of 150 ft. About 6 ft in diameter and 5 ft high, it was shaped like two dishes put together, with a Y-shaped antenna on top, and had four legs about 3 ft long. The object shone like aluminum. It descended diagonally to the ground or just above it. Three well proportioned beings of human appearance about 2 ½ ft tall got out of it through a door and started to walk about. One held an unlighted flashlight; another scratched at the ground with his hand, and the third some sort of “instrument.” On hearing a truck approaching, the 3 humanoids rapidly returned to the craft---the 3rd seemed to have some difficulty in getting back in---and it began to rock back and forth in “falling leaf” fashion, then took off suddenly at very high speed. The observation had lasted 2 or 3 minutes. No traces were left.

Students from the local Recoleta de Montevideo school reported encountering a strange short humanoid with an egg shaped head, and a blinking light on the chest area and what appeared to be a long antenna like protrusion on his back. It appeared to have duck-like feet, and it was shorter than a 7-year old boy. A priest and a teacher also reported seeing the creature.

A young witness spotted several large pterodactyls like creatures flying over the area. The creatures apparently descended and got closer to the witness who hid behind some bushes. He counted about 7 to 9 such creatures, described as having only skin, no feathers, and were very silent. They flew away from the area.

          “And her name was Rose”
267.
Location. Novosibirsk, Russia
Date: Winter 1968
Time: evening
A lonely female resident, an ardent Communist Party member who never believed in flying saucers, aliens and other nonsense was found unconscious one early morning lying on the side of the road by a street cleaner. An ambulance was summoned and doctors at a nearby hospital succeeded in reviving her. When she woke up she said that on the previous evening, while returning home, she noticed a large cigar-shaped object in the sky emanating a violet beam of light. The beam appeared to be searching for something on the ground, scanning over the streets. Suddenly, the beam shone directly on her, blinding her and she lost consciousness. Details of what occurred after that were apparently erased from her memory. It soon became evident that the woman was pregnant and her relatives were convinced that she had been raped, and thought she invented the bizarre story to avoid shame. However the child she gave birth to later was different from any other. It was a girl, quite small, with an enlarged head, large black eyes, a tiny fragile body, and a very pale skin with a grayish-pinkish tint. (A hybrid?). The name given to the little girl was Rose, for no reason at all according to the mother; the named just seemed to have popped in her head. The little girl soon attracted the attention of the KGB because of uncommon appearance. She began to write and read at a very early age, but even more incredible was apparently able to read human thoughts. She never attended kindergarten or any other school. Instead she was been constantly examined and studied at a secret institute in Akademgorodok under close KGB surveillance. One, professor Mysh, PhD, mainly conducted the studies there. When Rose was 6-years old she told her mother that she was “tired” of being on Earth and added that at the age of 7 she would disappear, and take her mother with her also. Apparently that’s exactly what occurred a year later, at age 7 Rose vanished, along with her mother.

Mrs. Mary Block saw a silvery flying object maneuvering over the area, then several days later, answered a knock on her door. Her caller had a deathly-white face, which had absolutely no lines and no expression. The figure wore all-black clothing and wore a black hat. The stranger got straight to the point. She and her children were not to mention to anybody what they had seen. He left riding in the back seat of a big black car whose windows were heavily tinted. Mrs. Block was so terrified that she did not report this experience until 17 years had gone by.

Hearing a commotion in his barn, Lonnie Duggan rushed out and discovered “a strange looking little man, covered with fur like hair” who was drawing blood samples from his horse’s flank with a large syringe like implement. The figure was 4 ft tall, had large eyes and a very high, bald forehead, and wore a snug fitting 2-piece suit. Speaking in a mechanical sounding voice, “like a computer,” the being said he was from a planet of Tua Ceti, and that his people had been visiting earth for a hundred years. Suddenly, appearing alarmed, he told Duggan to hurry back to the house and stay there for a half hour. Duggan did so, and saw a huge glowing object rise from behind the barn and shoot away “like lighting.”

Time: 0030am
This event occurred approximately ¼ of a mile from a hydro-electric dam. The witness was alone when he heard a whirring/whining dynamo type sound outside. He saw amber colored flashing light reflecting on the trees outside. When he walked out the door, overhead he saw a disc-shaped object about 35 ft across and about 10ft high, hovering above him no more than 10 ft away. There were four sets of lights which bathed the area in amber. The outer skin of the ship was what appeared to be a silvery/metallic color. Terrified he was unable to move (the house he was in was one of those lake front houses that were on “stilts” where the outside deck was about 8ft off the ground). After hovering overhead, the craft backed away some 20ft and lowered to where it would be almost eye level with the witness. This craft was saucer shaped with a smaller dome on top. The top dome had a round porthole (window) ...he could not see if there was anything inside; however, he “knew” that something was in there and it was looking at him. The craft then rose up came forward directly overhead and hovered. This event lasted approximately 5 minutes, although there were gaps in his memory as to what exactly happened. The craft then sped off effortlessly about 200 yards and hovered momentarily over the lake. Then it sped off at a 45 degree angle towards the southwest at tremendous speed quickly vanishing from sight.

In the midst of a series of multiple witness sightings in the area, Bernard and Mrs Perruche were working in their stable when they saw, behind a nearby house, a light, which they thought at first was a car’s light; it was in an area where no car should have been and remained immobile and, in front of it, they saw “some people moving about...as if in a magic lantern show.” The number of figures was at least two, and while a good distance off, they appeared to be “people” engaged in “a good deal of movement.” They watched briefly, and then went back to their work.

Pierre Driviere observes an oval shaped machine of the dimensions of a large car, yellow in color with orange reflections, moving at a sharp pace without noise. The craft was flying behind the building of the “Ultrasonic” factory. At this point Driviere is very surprise to hear a very acute and powerful voice say: “700 K...700 K...700 k. Thinking that someone was playing a joke he circumvents the building and hears the same voice again saying “700 KA” he then observes the object about 100 meters from him moving quickly towards the south.

The witness was alone in a room lying on the bed listening to music when he heard someone talking. The voices slowly got louder and the music began to fade away. Suddenly everything went dark (the room had been lit) and the next thing the witness knew he was in a “room”, which somehow he knew was in a spaceship, with two small aliens standing next to him. They aliens (not described) were very kind; the witness could sense only love from them. The air in the “space station” smelled like saffron and one wall to his left was filled with small lights and what resembled switches. The aliens communicated with him via telepathy and said that they wanted to see what effects the earth had on the witness (?). At least that’s what he understood. Then his body levitated to a horizontal position and a slab-like table appeared under the witness. He closed his eyes and the next thing he new the music slowly began to return. His next memory was of being back on the bed.

As they drove toward Auckland, at a spot 5 miles north of Wairakei, Miss Gay Harvey and Nino Perego saw a strange figure walking toward them on the road. Apparently oblivious to their approach, the man was 5’7”ft tall, and was dressed in a bluish black, shiny, plastic like garment which was loose fitting and of one piece, tucked in at the shoes; he wore gloves of the same material. There was a belt around his waist and on his head he wore a cylindrical helmet with a clear visor, square shaped and extending from ear to ear. The observers did not stop, being in a hurry to get to their destination.

While sleeping in his room at night the 5-year old witness (would be involved in other encounters) he saw a rather bright bluish-white light come in through the window. It was much brighter than the moonlight. He got up out of bed and went to see what it was. As soon as he went into the beam and looked up he became paralyzed and unable to move. The object was about 2 xs to 3x the apparent size of a full moon, and was shaped kind of like a half-moon, but it was tilted at a bizarre angle and the flat side wasn’t flat at all---it had a scalloped appearance like on the tops of ancient medieval castle towers. Although it was difficult to judge height & distance the witness would guess now that it was hovering 50’ above the ground at a distance of 150’ to 300’ away. This would make the object around 20’ in length by 15’ in height. There was no way to know for certain how long the object was there, but his best guest would be around 15 to 30minutes. Immediately after the sighting his hearing seemed to become very sensitive. Small objects like pins falling to the floor sounded like pieces or rebar being slammed into concrete. He also remembered feeling what he might now call an altered sense of reality. He began to have strange almost dream-like periods that would always begin the same way: a series of rectangular shapes colored in bright yellows, greens and blues would appear and rapidly superimpose themselves upon one another in his visual field. After a moment or two a small area of intense scintillating green would appear near the center, followed almost immediately by the paralysis, the apparent enhancements in his hearing and an overwhelming feeling of terror. This would happen almost every day, usually at night but sometimes while wide awake during the day. It wasn’t until many years later before he learned a way to “control” or stop these episodes in their initial stages, and eventually the incidents slowed to a point where they only occur very rarely anymore.

The witness had been in the area back in 1950 and at that time had experienced a peculiar incident, which left him with a scar. He returned to the site in December 1968 and saw a craft 40 ft in diameter and 10 ft high, and met its occupant, who walked around the side of the object. He was human in appearance with long hair, about 5’6” tall, and wore silver colored shoes. The witness spoke with this humanoid, in English, for about 3 minutes, learning that he was from Saturn; the man seemed to be in a hurry to get away; boarding, the craft rose 15’ off the ground and hovered momentarily before moving off and disappearing.

Two men, a nephew and his uncle, were driving along a clear, straight stretch of highway from Isabela to San Juan. The nephew was driving when they observed an object sitting on the right hand side of the road. Only the nephew observed a figure; seen only for several seconds, it was short and human like. Its mouth gave the impression of being toothless. The most distinctive features were the eyes, shining brightly in the dark, “like a cat.” It stood about 10 feet from the car at its closest. The uncle did not see the figure, for the young man pulled rapidly away from the scene. The uncle turned around in time to observe the UFO light up like a blue green bulb, and then to rise, turning a reddish color. He also heard a faint sound at the same time.

During his Christmas vacation, Robert McAllister, a student, was out checking his animal traps when he came upon a circular object hovering 6 ft off the ground. About 15’ in diameter, the object made no noise and Robert approached to within a few feet. From behind some rocks emerged three figures, their heads encased in helmets; they held a cable at the end of which, floating about 10 ft off the ground, was a chair, on which sat a smiling, apparently aged man, with silver hair and a benign smile. He wore a kind of tunic, while the three men on the ground wore uniforms of a hard, shiny blue type of material. Ignoring the boy, they “escorted” the seated man to the object, in which a door opened; the man and two of his escorts entered the latter by floating up to it. The remaining figure approached the boy and, placing his arm around him, led the child around the craft, pointing out various features and speaking in a strange language the boy did not recognize. Noticing a ball point pen in Robert’s pocket, the man took it to write a paper he drew from his pocket; when Robert indicated he could keep the pen, he again reached into his pocket and brought out his own, which heave gave to the boy. Repeating a phrase that sounded like, “Ab-doon! Ab-doon!” he floated up to the door and disappeared inside. The door closed then re-opened, and then man made gestures for Robert to move further away; then the object rose slowly and silently, suddenly shooting off at tremendous speed. After school had resumed, Robert was visited at his home by a stranger who handed him a “deaf mute” card; the man, rather than accepting the offered coins, asked for the pen, (the one given to the witness by the humanoid) which he took and quickly left.
