1959 HUMANOID REPORTS
Compiled by Albert Rosales
1959 Humanoid report. The end of the 50's decade brought forth a
decrease in reported encounters. The world was entering a new phase
of development; the era of innocence was about to come to end in
dramatic fashion. 1959 brought in the last encounters of the "Happy
Days" period. A new era was dawning. Following is a list of reported
humanoid encounters for 1959.
1. Location. Wever,
Iowa Date: 1959 Time: unknown 8-year old Barbara Schutte
(involved in other abductions) remembered being abducted and
examined by an alien. A sample was taken from the first finger of
her left hand (a remains to this day). The alien was friendly and
told her the he would see her again, he would teach me what she
needed to know later, and that some day she would be doing some
important work, when she grew up, she would understand. (There is no
description of the alien).

shaped craft resting on the ground on three metallic legs. He was
able to see three undescribed "little men" in it. The craft suddenly
exploded in a brilliant flash of light and disappeared. (Similar
incident reported in 1988 in the same area)

4. Location. Saint Michel, Quebec, Canada Date:
1959 Time: 0130A Madame Berube and a friend were in their room
when suddenly the area was illuminated by a bright white light
coming from outside, looking out the window they saw at a distance
of about 50 feet they saw a huge object with three bright points of
light, one red, one green and the third yellow, hovering very close
to the ground over the road. They could see a cabin-like structure
surrounded by several transparent oval-shaped "windows" from which
beige luminescent emerged. A hatchway was opened and two humanoid
figures briefly stepped out and walked around some parked vehicles.
No details on these could be seen. They soon returned to the object,
which departed at high speed emitting a rumbling noise.

5. Location. La Havana coast Cuba Date:
1959 Time: 0800A A man fishing with a friend near the
coastline suddenly saw the water around his vessel began to bubble,
moments later a huge silvery disc shaped craft emerged out of the
water hovered briefly, then shot away at high speed. A few minutes
later they saw very near the boat at several meters in depth 3 to 4
dark clad figures that appeared to be wearing tight fitting diving
suits. The witnesses could not determine the origin of the figures
and assumed that they were somehow connected to the flying
disc.

6. Location. North Platte Nebraska Date:
1959 Time: evening Joyce Updike recalls standing by a country
road waiting, when she saw two men approach, the two men wore "space
suit like" outfits, headgear resembling old style diving helmets and
thick soled shoes. One of the men was holding two metal rods that he
was aiming towards the witness, while the other climbed over a
nearby wire fence and walked to a landed object, partly hidden by a
hill. She then found herself inside the object on top of an
examining table, two men wearing winged type skullcaps stood next to
her. They seemed to be of average height and well built. Another man
wearing a three piece loose fitting "surgical" outfit with a hood
& a smoke colored visor over the eyes, stood by a circular,
glass covered instrument panel, and he also wore gauntlet gloves
with pointed pincer type clamps. The man approached the witness and
raised her right arm by the elbow, at this point all conscious
recall ended.

7. Location. Vechtel near
Osnabruck Germany Date: 1959 Time: evening A couple and
their young son had taken a walk in a forested area when they saw a
bright orange colored dome shaped object descending over a nearby
clearing, as it got closer they could now see that it was a disc
shaped craft about four meters in diameter. Frightened the child and
mother ran back to the house. Then from out of the woods a figure
emerged, it was surrounded by a silvery blue light from an unknown
source, it seemed to emit a cold air wave. The figure wore a
one-piece suit and a divers mask. The figure made a sudden move
putting his hand over his face, pushing aside a low hanging tree
branch, then it seem to wave at the witness, it then walked back
into the woods. Moments later the orange disc shaped object rose up
into the sky and vanished.

8. Location. Giant Rock
California Date: 1959 Time: late evening While attending a
convention Harry Mayer observed mysterious globes of light hovering
over the runway at the local small airport. As he ran toward them, a
pretty young blond woman suddenly appeared in front of him, and put
out her arm stopping him in his tracks. She was barely more than
five-feet tall and Mayer was well over six feet, she had "the
strength of many men." They spoke long enough for Mayer to learn
that her name was Mary. Under her coat she was wearing a
chocolate-brown uniform that looked something like a ski suit. She
claimed she was from Venus.

9. Location. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
Dayton Ohio Date: 1959 Time: evening Leon B Visse, an
expert on histones (proteins connected with cellular genetic
material), was invited to a military compound at Wright-Patterson,
where he was asked to perform an experiment on the histonic weight
of particular cells. In the first experiment Visse found an
inordinately low histonic weight---far lower than in human cells.
Either he was mistaken or there had to be a complete revision of
genetic theories, he reasoned. But Visse obtained the same results
when he repeated the experiment, so he asked if he could look at the
organism from which the cells came. To his astonishment, Visse was
taken into a special room where the corpses of two humanoids lay.
The bodies were very tall---a little over 7 ft---and from their
terrible injuries they appeared to have been in an accident,
although the heads were intact, the forehead high and broad, very
long blond hair. The eyes were stretched towards the temples, which
gave them an Asiatic look. The nose and mouth were small. The lips
were thin, perfectly delineated. Despite slight differences in their
facial appearances, the two humanoids looked like twins. The bodies
had been preserved in formaldehyde but remained perfectly white,
apparently lacking the melanin granules, which cause normal human
beings to tan in strong sunlight. The eyes were very light blue and
looked no different from normal, Visse reported. The hands were
human-like but slender, while their feet were absolutely flat, with
small toes.

Millersburg Oregon Date: 1959 Time: night The driver of a
mint truck traveling near Conser Lake was terrified to see a tall,
white creature that resembled a gorilla. The white hairy creature
ran at 35 mph alongside the driver's truck peering into his cab.
Sometime during the year it was rumored that a "flying saucer" had
crashed into the lake.

of his car and step over a barbed wire fence. The police officer
yelled halt and the creature turned and approached the officer, who
in turn fired his gun at the entity with no apparent effect. The

12. Location. Fiambala, Catamarca,
Argentina Date: 1959 Time: night The young witness
remembered being in her house with her mother and grandmother and
the lights going out. As her mother and grandmother investigated a
commotion with the chickens in the yard, the witness saw, apparently
standing on a chair in the living room, a very small dwarf-like
creature wearing a brown smock and a large floppy hat, she was not
able to see his face. The witness screamed and her mother and
grandmother came running in the room, by this time the little man
had disappeared.

13. Location. Ganden,
Tibet Date: 1959 Time: night A delegation of Soviet
scientists/scholars was introduced to an aged Tibetan monk with a
profound knowledge of astronomy and problems peculiar to space
travel. This lama was convinced that intelligent life existed on
other worlds, and that, under the proper conditions, he could
achieve visual contact with such beings from the beyond. The lama
chose two scientists from the delegation. He instructed them in a
special form of concentration and in the nutritional details of a
special diet. After some days had gone by the lama invited the
Russians to come to his cell. There, he introduced them to a piece
of machinery entirely unknown to these savants. This mysterious
apparatus---the details of which Kolosimo does not record---was
emitting an odd, muffled noise. Suddenly, what looked like a cloudy
face appeared in the center of the room. This manifestation slowly
took on the indistinct form of a humanoid. The eerie figure stood
erect and motionless, gazing at them blankly. Then there
materialized in front of it what looked like a moving replica of our
solar system, including Mercury, Venus, earth and the other planets
slowly revolving around a central sun. This almost ghostly solar
system had an anomalous feature: a tenth planet orbiting in
leisurely fashion beyond the orbit of Pluto. Was this object from a
sort of time capsule, an artifact meant to convey some sense of the
knowledge and circumstances of the sentient species, which had
occupied our planets before us?

1959 Time: night Caroline McAdoo (involved in other
encounters) was walking home along a rural road when she saw the
shadow of a creature with a huge body and a small head. She reported
a choking odor of rotten garbage and various vocalizations
comprising of whistling, laughing, and screaming sounds. The
creature touched the shoulder of the witness.

15. Location. At sea in the Florida Straits Date:
1959 Time: 2200 While serving in the USN aboard the aircraft
carrier USS FDR, Chester Grusinski was below decks when he noticed a
number of seamen hurrying up to the flight deck of the carrier. When
he got to the flight deck, there were approximately 25 other men
present observing an oblong, orange light in the sky. The light
approached the carrier in a "wobbling" fashion, blocking out the
background of stars in the sky and becoming larger. At a distance of
probably no more than several hundred feet from the vessel, it
stopped and hovered; Grusinski could clearly see a row of square
windows, lighted within by a dull orange glow; in two of these
windows, to his left, he could see occupants, one in each window.
One appeared to be leaning against the glass and looking down at the
witnesses, while the other could be seen only from the neck up. Then
they both moved away and were no longer visible. At is closer range;
Grusinski could feel a wave of warmth coming from the object. After
the figures disappeared, the bottom of the object began glowing a
red orange; it became brighter as the object began to move off, and
they could clearly see then that it was cigar shaped. The faster it
moved, the brighter it got. The observation lasted from two to five
minutes. The next day, Grusinski, got up early to see if there was
any reference to the incident in the "plan of the day." He found
none; when queried about it by others, he denied having seen
anything. On the other hand, he was unable to find anyone else who
was willing to talk about it.

16. Location. Leigh
England Date: 1959 Time: 2230 Mrs C Wickens had been
visiting her sister's home in Leigh and on her way to catch a late
bus noticed three figures crouching on the nearby grass verge; she
could also make out several other groups of three and four figures
standing further back in the shadows. All were dressed in clothing
of dazzling white and wore balaclava-type helmets over their heads.
They stood motionless, watching the witness, and there was a strange
silence over the area. Then, on her left, she suddenly noticed a
solitary robot-like figure standing well over six-feet, and she was
seized by terror and couldn't go on. She fled back to her sister's
home where she remained for the night. Her sister wrote the
experience off, claiming she had seen "boy scouts" camping on the
green for the night. In the morning there were no signs of
such.

17. Location. Stratford-on-Avon
England Date: January 1959 Time: 1715 Leonard Hewins saw a
fiery round red object come in for a landing 100 yards away. When it
stopped the light went out, and a blue haze about 12 ft high formed
around the object. In this haze he saw 3 tall human like, blond
haired figures wearing blue coveralls that "appeared to step up,
lifting themselves with a clumsy movement." A 4th figure appeared
and they seated themselves 2 in front and 2 in the rear; then the
object began to glow red again, & rose with a trail of sparks
& a rushing sound. A trail of multi-colored very beautiful stars
shot out from the rear. He then heard a sound like rushing water,
the same that you hear when pressing your ears in and out with your
fingers when at a waterfall. The object then disappeared towards the
west. The witness reported seeing a similar object in 1930 and again
in 1953.

18. Location. Gdynia Poland Date:
January 21 1959 Time: night A luminous object was seen to fall
into the harbor of Gdynia; divers set to reach it brought back a
piece of un-rusted metal whose composition is not publicly known.
Several days later, a strange male figure wearing "a sort of
uniform" was encountered dragging himself along the beach; part of
his face & hair appeared to be burnt. On taking him to a
hospital, it was found that the uniform was of metal, and that the
being's organs were quite different from ours, the numbers of
fingers & toes also different. The creature died after an
armband was removed; its body was sent to the USSR. An autopsy
revealed a different structure of internal organs and a spiral
system of blood circulation. It had six fingered extremities and was
about 1.60 meters in height. The body was stored in a frozen
container and stored in an underground bunker apparently in the
Moscow area. Apparently divers found half of the object embedded in
the mud under the water. According to information later uncovered,
in fact, not one, but two alien bodies were recovered on the shore
within the short time gap between recoveries. One of the aliens was
dead, while the second gave signs of life and remained alive for a
long time. He was examined in the Gdynia-Redlow hospital and soon
fell into a coma-like state after an arm bracelet was removed. The
aliens had six digits on their hands and feet. An autopsy was
conducted on one of the dead aliens; the second one (the one in coma
like state) was put in a special chamber aimed to support its vital
functions. The six-fingered being from Gdynia (the one taken to the
USSR the other apparently remained in Poland at an undisclosed
location) is still stored in an isolated top-secret underground
bunker located under a building on the territory of the biomedical
research facility center east of Solnechnogorsk, together with other
alien bodies.

20. Location. Near Cedar City, Utah Date:
February 28 1959 Time: afternoon Gerry Irwin, a Nike missile
technician, was driving from Nampa Idaho to his barracks at Fort
Bliss, El Paso. He'd reached Cedar City when he observed a glowing
object crossing the sky. Irwin decided it may have been an airliner
on fire, which was attempting to land, and he went to investigate.
Using shoe polish, he wrote "Stop" on the side of his car, and left
a note on the steering wheel which read: "Have gone to investigate
possible plane crash. Please call law enforcement officers"). A
short while later, a fish and game inspector did stop and took the
note to the Cedar County sheriff, Otto Pfief, who returned to the
site with a group of volunteers. No trace of an airplane crash was
found, but Irwin was soon discovered unconscious and taken to a
hospital. When Irwin finally woke up form a deep sleep, he was
puzzled by the absence of his jacket. He was flown back to Fort
Bliss and placed under observation for four days, after which he
returned to duty. Irwin behaved very strangely; he was plagued by
fainting, didn't seem to be aware of the correct date, and kept
asking, "were there any survivors?" He was placed in a hospital for
psychiatric examination, and the day after being discharged, April
18, Irwin felt a powerful urge to return to the site of his strange
encounter. Once there he walked straight to a bush and found his
missing jacket. There was a pencil in a buttonhole with a piece of
paper wound tightly around it. Irwin curiously took the paper and
burned it. He then went to the sheriff Pfief, who provided him with
all the details of the initial incident. Shortly thereafter, Irwin's
case came to the attention of the inspector general, who ordered a
new investigation. On July 10, Irwin re-entered the hospital. On
August 1, he failed to report for duty. One month later, he was
listed as a deserter and was never seen again.

Lady of Grace Monastery when they saw a large silvery Saturn shaped
object descend over them, the craft had lighted windows around its
lower portion and blinking red, yellow and green lights around the
outer rim, it also emitted a loud humming sound. The craft flew
towards and retreated from the witnesses several times. They
apparently suffered a black out. Years later under hypnosis one
witness recalled that the craft landed nearby on three legs and all
normal noises ceased. They were both then taken inside, where they
communicated by telepathy with several humanoids including a taller
six-foot tall being that appeared to be the leader. Several
experiments and examinations were conducted on them and they were
taken onboard a larger craft or mothership where they saw other
human abductees.

after being diagnosed with a lung disease. As he walked he sees a
light coming down from the sky. The light approaches and he sees an
object within hovering one meter above the ground. The craft is
saucer-shaped surrounded in a blue-violet light; it is surmounted
with a cupola, which emits bright beams of light. Fascinated he sees
a stairway descend to the ground and a tall heavyset man-like figure

He approaches Raps and speaks in perfect German to him. He warns the
witness of approaching future dangers and asks him to return to the
same place 3 days later.

32. Location. Superstition
Mountains, Arizona Date: May 1959 Time: night Two
prospectors told a strange story while visiting with an old time of
the Phoenix area. They claimed that for several days they noticed
what they at first thought to be several small children playing near
and in a small creek, which had water in it only during the early
spring season. They were quite familiar with the many "strange"
deaths that had occurred in this area and wisely felt that children
had no business there. These small "children" appeared to be about
five or six years old and would be seen in the same dry creek bed
day after day as the prospectors went about their diggings. One day
they decided to investigate and see what children could possibly be
doing in such an area. When they reached the creek bed they
discovered, to their amazement that the "children" had completely
vanished but there, still very fresh in the sand, were footprints.
These prints appeared as miniature duplicates of engineer boots.
Although the miners returned to the same spot the next day they
reportedly never saw the "children" again. Other witnesses claim to
have seen these little "children" at closer range and say they look
more like men than children. Some ranchers, while on roundups in
this same area, say that they could clearly see "little men" as they
called them, on the tops of ridges and mountains of the superstition
range watching them.

afternoon The nine-year old witness had strayed from a picnic
into some nearby woods when suddenly she had the feeling that she
was being watched. She then found herself facing a short luminous
being wearing a luminous reflective seamless suit. The being had a
triangular face with cat like eyes. The witness had the impression
that the creature had been caught by surprise and that he had been

34. Location. Aberdeen,
Washington Date: Summer 1959 Time: afternoon On a Friday
afternoon Shirlee Teabo was driving to her home in the suburbs of
Seattle when she barely noticed a tall, angular man hunched at the
shoulder of a curving stretch of highway, she had never before
picked up a hitchhiker yet for some reason she felt an inner
compulsion to offer this man a lift. Almost without volition she
backed her car along the shoulder of the freeway, but began to
tremble with fright when he slid into the seat beside her. "Don't be
afraid, Shirlee," she reports that he said. She wondered how he knew
her name. She noted other odd things about her new companion.
Although it was a steaming summer day, he wore a heavy pinstriped
suit with wide out of date lapels, and a wide brimmed black hat
pulled low over his eyes. Suddenly he was telling her things about
herself that she had never told anyone, and she had the weird
sensation that she had known him all her life. Increasingly
suspicious, she pulled into a roadside restaurant area, hoping that
the hitchhiker would look for another ride. But he followed her
inside, and sat quietly while she ordered coffee and an ice-cream
cone, declining anything for himself. She offered the stranger ice
cream and he appeared to study the cone for a long time before
tasting it. They returned to the car, and were cruising through
Tacoma before Shirlee realized that she had no idea of her
passenger's destination. "Oh, this will be fine," he said vaguely.
She stopped the car, and he smiled and called good-bye. As she
pulled back onto the roadway she glanced in the rearview mirror for
a last glimpse of the stranger. But he was gone. She pulled off the
road, looking frantically up and down the highway. There was nowhere
for him to hide, yet he was nowhere to be seen. He had vanished.
Another man, a neighbor known as Everett reported a very similar
encounter with an equally described and garbed man who also
mysteriously disappeared after a short car ride.

35. Location. Pennsylvania, exact location not
given Date: Summer 1959 Time: late evening The witness was
sitting in his lounge chair, reading, dozing but was at the same
time tense and restless. Something seemed to be at the back of his
mind. Suddenly he looked toward the door. Somehow he knew someone
was at the other side. He lay his book down got up and went to the
door, opened it a crack and looked out. There were two men dressed
in black there. They looked like identical twins. They were dark
complexioned with Oriental eyes, but they were definitely not
Orientals. They never said a word but the witness heard in his mind,
"Are you ready?" He does not know why but for some reason he was
ready to go. Since it was so terribly hot that night, he had
stripped down to his "birthday suit" so when he reached for a pair
of walking shorts again he heard in his mind, "That will not be
necessary. No one will see you." They stepped out in the hall and
instantly they were on top of a flat hill in back of the apartments.
The witness was rather surprised that the scene had changed so
quickly. He noticed the headlights of a car coming down the street,
and he ducked behind the two men. He then heard some laughter in his
mind, "We told you no one would see you. Try it." He then boldly
stepped around in front of them, spread his feet apart, propped his
hands on his hips, daring anyone to see me. But the car, with a man
and a woman in it, passed a few feet from them not even looking in
their direction. He turned to say something to his companions and
they were looking up. He followed their gaze and realized that
something was hanging there suspended above them. As he did so, an
opening appeared in its center and blue-white light came tumbling
out of it. He felt a queasy sensation in the pit of his stomach,
like when you are in an elevator or an airplane that is dropping too
fast. He could see apartment houses and the ground receding below
them. They were floating up toward whatever the object was. He
blacked out as they approached the opening. When he came to he was
lying on his side facing a wall. He rolled over on his back and sat
up. He was in an oddly shaped room. It somehow resembled a wedge of
pie with the point of bitten off. The whole room was bare except for
some kind of projection on which he was sitting. Everything seemed
to be made out of a blue gray material. While the walls were very
hard the surface on he was sitting was very soft even though
everything seemed to have been made of the same material. The room
was bathed in a soft glow and there were no shadows anywhere, but
there was no light source that he could see. He then heard a female
voice say, "He's awake now." He looked around to see if he could
spot the speaker but saw nothing, just the walls. About this time on
the short wall a door appeared and opened. He could see into a
hallway. Although the hall was dark, here was blue-white
illumination that appeared as though it was coming from some great
distance. Two shadows flittered across the doorway. He couldn't tell
anything about their shapes. The movement was too rapid and too
distorted. But he received a mental impression of two people
approaching---a man in the front and a woman in the back---carrying
a tray full of some kind of surgical instruments and hypodermic
syringes. His next memory was of being back in his apartment, in his
chair, reading his book. An interesting detail was that a book that
he had been reading went mysteriously missing for a week after the
encounter and was later found right on the same spot where the
witness had left it.

36. Location. Hickam
Airfield, Oahu, Hawaii Date: Summer 1959 Time: night On a
warm summer night, six-year old Maureen Izon was sleeping soundly on
the bottom bunk when she suddenly felt a bitter chill around her.
She opened her eyes and looked around. Standing at the side of her
bed were three illuminated figures. They had no features at all.
They looked like human silhouettes made up of white vapor. Being a
devout Catholic, Maureen lifted a cross pendant around her neck
towards the figures, but they remained standing by her bed. The
taller figure moved toward her. She could feel the air getting
colder around her neck and then she felt pressure around her neck.
The figure was apparently trying to choke her. Maureen tried to
bring his right hand up to make the sign of the cross. But her hand
felt like it weighed a ton. At the same time she was having
difficulty breathing. She barely managed to make the sign of the
cross and began praying. Soon the figures vanished and the room
became warm again. On a later date, the same witness woke up with a
runny nose and when she reached over to the tissue box when suddenly
a large hairy hand came up from behind the tissue box and grabbed
her wrist. She attempted to scream but was unable to as a cold chill
enveloped her body. She opened her mouth in an attempt to bite the
hairy hand and it suddenly disappeared.

this intrusion was repeated several nights in a row. No other

1959 Time: 1845 A brightly luminous object descended to a height
of about 300 ft, its apparent size then being about 5" at arm's
length and its luminosity dull orange yellow. It was circular with a
wide base and a narrower upper deck, and had 4 tapering legs, 2 at
each end, on the bottom. A shaft of blue light shining upwards at 45
degrees was seen part of the time. On top of this appeared four men,
surrounded at a little distance by an aura of luminescence. "If
wearing clothes, they were very tight-fitting." Father Gill and 37
Papuans were witnesses. Several other smaller UFOs maneuvered around
it. The object hovered, the men coming & going, for 2.5 hours.
Then it shot off at tremendous speed.

Four men were seen occupied with something on top of it. Father
William Gill waved, and one of the men on the UFO did the same; then
all the observers waved, and all 4 seemed to wave back. Flashlight
signals were answered by movements of the object, which oscillated
& then came somewhat closer. After this there was no further
response. After about 1.5 hours of visibility low clouds hid the
object.

41. Location.
Washington DC Date: July 9 1959 Time: 1400 An interesting
para-psychological experiment closely tied to the UFO phenomenon was
conducted on this day in Washington DC by the CIA and US Naval
Intelligence. It was held at an office in a government building at
the corner of 5th and K Streets. According to Lt Colonel Robert
Friend, the officer in charge of Project Blue Book at the time and
who was present at the session, telepathic communication was
attempted through a psychic channeler who was also a military
officer. Colonel Friend was invited to attend a meeting with this
officer, and was given the following background information. A
Canadian woman Mrs. Swan had come to their attention through the
Canadian government. The Canadians had conducted an extensive
investigation into Mrs. Swan's claims of contact with the aliens.
With two Naval Intelligence officers present, she went into a trance
and they asked her scientific and technical questions to which a
woman of her education could not possibly know the answers. Yet as
questions were put to her, she was able to answer quickly and
easily, apparently with telepathic help from purported
extraterrestrials. According to the report, the aliens represented
an organization called the "Universal Association of Planets," and
this group had a project monitoring Earth. The investigation took an
unexpected turn when the woman informed one of the Naval officers
that "they" were willing to answers questions directly through him,
a Navy commander and intelligence officer---with no prior experience
in telepathic communications. He took over, attempting to write down
the answers to questions put to him by his associate Naval officer.
The word traveled back quickly to Washington officials and a very
skeptical CIA. Nevertheless, there was no strong reason to totally
disbelieve the report of this respected Navy commander and his
partner. A meeting was arranged to be held in the security portion
of a Washington government building. When trance state contact was
achieved, several questions were put to him, and answers came back
quickly. "Do you favor any government group or race?" and "Would
there be a third world war?" Both were answered "No." The officials
present then asked to see a spaceship. The commander, still in a
trance, told the group to look out the window and they would have
proof. They did promptly and a dark saucer-shaped object was seen
hovering in the sky "at approximately 1400 hours." They hurriedly
made calls to the Washington radar center to confirm the presence of
the object. Radar operators told them that they were experiencing a
strange type of technical difficulty with their equipment, and radar
was blocked for that quadrant of the sky over Washington. A follow
up contact session was attempted that same day with only limited
success, it was indicated, "this was not the right time".

In New York City, on 30 November 1989,
at approximately 3:00 am, Linda Cortile, a married
mother of two, was seen emerging from an apartment
building window 12 storeys above the ground accompanied
by three small alien figures. Suspended within a blue
beam of light, Linda and her captors were lifted into a
large reddish-orange glowing UFO, which then moved off
in the direction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Several
witnesses, including a world political leader, saw - and
later independently corroborated - this
event.
