According to Tau-se from an ancient manuscript called
"Sey-to-ki", during the time of Emperor Ton-Yo, in the year of
"Mon-Sham" a "divine man" descended from the sky, using a "monster
that was emitting light" (spacecraft??). The people called this man
"the master." He received the name Tan-kun (Sandalwood God) and his
country was called Peson.

Apollonia, a city near today's city of Dirach in Albania they
encountered a strange being.
"Near Apollonia and the surrounding
area is Nympaio, a sacred place with a steep and narrow valley and
rivers of fire. There the soldiers of Syllas caught a "satyr" as the
status and paintings depict. The soldiers brought the strange
creature in front of Syllas and he questioned the satyr but it could
not speak, only moaned and cried like a goat or a

According to the
ancient Japanese manuscript "Nihoni" the Emperor
Oho-Hatsuse-Vaka-taka-no-Mikoto had gone hunting in the mountain
with bow and arrows when unexpectedly a tall man in a strange cap
and tight-fitting clothes descended from the sky. By his face and
manner of behavior the Emperor thought that he had encountered "God"
himself and decided to ask him who he was. The tall man answered, "I
am the God of visible people. You give me your king's name and I
will give you mine's". The Emperor answered, "I
am---Vaka-Taka-no-Mikoto". And the tall man gave his name, "Your
obedient servant God Hito-Koto-Musi" (which literally meant, "God of
one word. Goodness that sprays evil with one word and the good by
one word"). He left his "chariot" (spacecraft?) that was emitting
light and joined the emperor in his hunting
expedition.

A strange man, a
visitor from the sky was encountered during the rule of Emperor
AMe-Kuni-Osi-Hiroki-Niro-niha and told the emperor when he met him:
"In the past during the rule of Emperor Oho-Hatsuse, your country
has experienced strong pressure from Korea and was in a quite
critical situation. If after a respectful prayer to the divine
being---founder of your country---you will help the ruler who is
threatened by destruction, the state will then achieve tranquility
and peace will be established among nations. Recently I was informed
that your country has stopped honoring the Supreme God. If you will
now repent of your former sins, and build a temple to this God and
make a sacrifice in honor of his divine spirit...your country will
flourish. Don't forget about this."

Date: 1173 Time:

This village was named after its deep trenches in
which wolves were formerly capture. One day local villagers were
amazed to see two very unusual children crawling out of one of these
trenches. A girl and a slightly younger boy, they were both dressed
in strange clothing and spoke an unintelligible language. But by far
the most striking characteristic of these children was their skin
color, which was green. Unable to communicate with them, and
thoroughly perplexed as to what should be done, the villagers took
the girl and boy, who were weeping and very forlorn to the home of
Sir Richard de Calne a local landowner. Here they remained treated
with great care and kindness by Sir Richard and his servants. But
the boy fell ill and in less than a year he had died. Happily
however the girl survived and as she grew older her skin's green hue
gradually disappeared. She eventually married a man from King's Lynn
in Norfolk, a senior ambassador of Henry II according to some
sources, and became known as Agnes Barre. During her years in Sir
Richard's household, Agnes learned English and was eventually able
to reveal something about where she and her brother had come from
and the manner in which they had reached Woolpit. She claimed that
they were from a Christian place called St. Martin's Land, where it
was always twilight (and also where according to one medieval
chronicler of this story, everything was green), and which was
separated from a much sunnier place by a wide river. One day while
tending their father's flocks in a field, Agnes and her brother had
been led away by the sound of church bells into an underground
realm, and then somehow found themselves in Woolpit.

On Saturday for more than one half hour, four rather
scared and separate peasants sighted, from different places in town,
some 500 people performing a strange procession commanded by a
handsome lady in white robes who carried on her hands a baby. The
noisy unidentified crowd walked slowly through isolated streets
following an itinerary ending at the San Ildefonso church. The
charming woman and infant threw off a powerful light, which blinded
the observers and illuminated the area like "noon." The Señora was
taller than her attendants and wore a glowing mantle with iridescent
colors. The picturesque parade was headed by seven young men in
white clothing bearing white crosses, followed by 20 clergymen - in
two rows - praying aloud in some unintelligible speech. Right after
them went the lady and child with a man and a woman by the sides
escorting them. Behind and clustered, came along some 300 men and
women also in white garments. Finally ran a troupe of 100
individuals in white armed with lances, beating loudly their pikes
with each other. At the tail end of this staggering display, pursued
many barking dogs. When the crowd arrived at an open space behind
the church, the imposing dame sat herself on a resplendent silvery
throne in front of a luminous altar staged with red and white
ornaments, while her companions sat down around her intonating
chants. At midnight the entire "holy army" vanished inexplicably
into thin air. Afterwards one of the witnesses went through the
procession route and found no ground traces. Two days later, one of
the witnesses heard a mysterious voice that whispered to him: "Do
not sleep and you will see good things." Civil and ecclesiastical
Spanish authorities cautiously and carefully investigated the odd
happening. This bizarre happening was the origin of a local sacred
Marian cult that persisted for several
centuries.

Noted philosopher Fazio Cardano was resting in his
home after a day's work. As he sat in the kitchen area, suddenly out
of nowhere seven "majestic" looking men appeared in front of him. He
described them as wearing bright flowing robes and sandals and what
appeared to be Greek tiaras on their heads. They had black hair and
were of an unnatural beauty and appeared to be 30 to 40 years of
age. They briefly spoke about philosophy, the existence of the human
soul about life and death on earth and basically about the transient
nature of man's existence on Earth. When asked who they were, they
said that they were men composed, as it were, of air, and subject to
birth and death. It was true that their lives were much longer than
ours, and might even reach to three hundred years duration.
Questioned on the immortality of the soul, they affirmed that
nothing survives, which is peculiar to the individual. They remained
for over three hours and when questioned about as to the cause of
the universe there was disagreement between the men. The tallest of
them denied that God had made the world from eternity. On the
contrary, the other added that God created it from moment to moment,
so that should he desist for an instant the world would
perish.

In the 1530s and 40s, the Spaniard Cabeza de Vaca and
his Conquistadores followed the Mississippi River and came in
contact with various Native American tribes of varying dispositions.
Upon befriending the Avavares further westward they were told a most
unusual tale. According to the Indians, approximately sixteen years
earlier the region had been visited by another "bearded" character
of unusual aspect. This fellow was called by the Indians "Malacosa"
or Mr. "Bad thing" (according to the Spaniards) an accurate
appellation given his proclivities. Even though bearded his facial
features were "never seen clearly" or where otherwise indistinct or
else clouded by a mist. This character "invaded" Indian homes by
night, accompanied by a light and an electrical sensation that would
make the hair of the inhabitants "stand on end." Apparently
paralyzed, the poor tribes-people would stand helpless as, armed
with a "blazing brand" or wand the bearded creature would rush
inside and perform intrusive surgeries upon its victims. This
included abdominal intrusions and taking of intestinal samples, to
incisions or perhaps partial amputation of arms and legs, which
would then be surgically stitched or otherwise, repaired. The
androgynous ambiguity of this creature was not lost on the Indians,
for it happened that during this season of visitation, "Malacosa"
would appear in the midst of their celebrations, dressed alternately
as an Indian man or woman, which raises the question: Was he in a
possible quest for genetic material based on seduction? The Indians
offered him food but he never ate; they inquired as to his place of
origin, and "Malacosa" pointed to a nearby "hole" on the ground and
told them that his home was there, in the regions below. At first
the Spaniards laughed at the account of the "barbarian bogey man"
until the Indians brought forward numerous people who still bore the
visible scars of the intrusive or amputation reattachment
surgeries.

On the two ships "which measured more than ten arms each" he could
see several tall men wearing each one a hat and multicolored
clothing. They were holding each a "pole" in each hand as the ships
moved quickly overhead. The teacher Lu Yu then alerted "ten well
read men" who came beside him to observe the phenomenon. The ships
then descended over the teacher, the ten other men and the men
onboard the ships wearing the multicolored clothing, "then passed
their hands over the mouths of the well-read scribes who could not

ships, escorted like a Mandarin and accompanied by a bonze. Some

At the end of the 20th century, academician and
anthropologist Dr. Rudolph Vanzhaev made a stunning discovery. While
he was reconstructing the facial features of the famous Russian Tsar
Ivan the Fourth (or Ivan the Terrible), Dr. Vanzhaev discovered a
diminutive metallic plate in Ivan's skull. The strange artifact, a
little more than one centimeter in diameter, remotely resembled a
complicated electronic mechanism. The Doctor concluded that this
object somehow increased the intellectual abilities of the Tsar but
at the same time, caused his periodic uncontrolled fits of anger.
The tiny metallic object with sharp teeth-like protrusions was
discovered quite accidentally. Dr. Vanzhaev was studying the exhumed
skeleton of Ivan the Terrible, attempted to find the physiological
cause of his death (later it was established that the Tsar's bones
contained a huge quantity of mercury, or quicksilver). Moving his
hand along the inner surface of Ivan's skull, Vanzhaev felt a small
protrusion. Trying to see it better, he took a large magnifying
glass and saw something very small and metallic, halfway covered by
bone tissue. The device was similar to an electronic chip used in
computers or other electronic equipment. When the device was studied
closing, using different kinds of techniques and equipment it
appeared to be a miniature transmitter of electric impulses to the
brain and the heart. Such impulses, emphasized Dr. Vanzhaev, sharply
increased the brain's ability to solve the difficult intellectual
tasks but at the same time, created various collateral effects that
influenced the man's psyche. The layer of bone tissue that had grown
around the metallic device was quite noticeable. This meant
according to Vanzhaev, that when Ivan was "implanted" he had been
quite young, possibly in his childhood. Ivan the Terrible was born
in 1530, so the supposed alien abduction had apparently occurred
during the 1530's or 1540's. He became the "Great Duke of all
Russia" in 1533 and the Tsar in 1547, and died in 1584. The historic
detail in favor of this assumption is that it was known that Ivan
the Terrible had the habit of placing his hand on his head, even
though he never complained to his doctors of feeling any pains in
his head. Another Moscow based researcher Vladimir Alexeevich
Smemshuk also mentioned in his books that Ivan the Terrible was
under "alien control" and experienced several humanoid encounters at
night when he was alone in his bedroom.

57-year old Juan Diego, an Aztec Indian, who
six years before, had converted to Christianity, was on his way to a
town nine miles away in order to take part of the holy mass. The
route he took led him through stony fields and over small hills. In
the vicinity of a small hillock, which is known to the Indians as
"Tepeyac" and later became the Spanish name "Guadalupe," he became
aware that he was hearing an unknown unearthly music. This music was
coming from the top of the hill. He looked up to the hillock, to the
side where the sun was rising and from where the wonderful singing
originated. And when the singing suddenly stopped, when it was no
longer perceivable, he heard how someone from the top of the hillock
called, "Juan Dieguito!" And when he reached the top of the hill, he
saw a noble lady standing there. She invited him to come nearer. Her
garment shined like the sun, as if it was reflected by light, and
the stone, the rock on which here feet stood, as if sparkled of
beams; the glow of her gleamed like jewels, like the most beautiful
ornament, the Earth, as if was shining in the glow of the rainbow.
Juan Diego fell down to his knees. The apparition once more spoke to
him and named herself as the "perfect holy Virgin Mary." She claimed
to have come so that the people would build her a sanctuary on the
"Tepeyac." She said that Juan Diego was the chosen messenger who
should bring this request to the bishop of Mexico City. Bishop Juan
de Zumarraga listened to Diego tell his story, but he did not
believe his allegations. He sent Juan Diego away with the comment
that he wanted to deal with the subject later. Disappointed, Juan
Diego went back to the "Tepeyac". When he arrived, he again met with
the "queen of the heavens." He bewailed his misfortune and asked her
to choose another messenger, preferably someone who was better
prepared for the mission. However, the Virgin stressed, "It is
absolutely necessary that you go personally and that you request
that my Will be carried out." The bishop still did not believe Diego
and sent him back and asked him to request some kind of evidence so
the bishop could really believe that the "queen of the heavens" had
really sent him. Once again Juan Diego returned to the "Tepeyac"
where the mysterious woman was waiting for him. He informed her
about the bishop's request and the "Virgin" told him to return
tomorrow in order to obtain such evidence. He was told to go to the
top of the hill where he had seen the Virgin and there he would see
different flowers and pick them, put them together and to then bring
them to her presence. Even though it was during the winter and frost
covered the grounds, these flowers had apparently grown on top of
the barren hill. Juan Diego was ordered to put the flowers into his
tilma, an upper garment similar to an apron. Then the light figure
or virgin took the flowers with her venerable hands, then she put
them back into his tilma and she told him that go back with the
flowers since these were the evidence. He again waited several hours
before he could see bishop Zumarraga. When he opened his white tilma
the splendid flowers fell to the ground there the tilma transformed
into an omen. Suddenly there appeared the beloved image of the
Perfect Lady, of the Holy Virgin Mary. All in the room fell to their
knees and admired it greatly. Convinced with the evidence a chapel
was built on the hillock.

Three luminous craft
visited the sky over the location much to the dismay of its
citizens. They watched the objects race errantly about for some
time, when they suddenly stopped and hovered a few feet above the
water. The craft were long, oval in shape and flattened along their
lengths, each with a "strange mast" sitting on top of them. The bay
waters began to froth underneath them, giving off a dense orange
vapor, accompanied by a loud, unpleasant noise. From one of the
craft two vaguely human looking beings appeared. They were described
as being dressed in red clothes covered with silvery scales, with
huge heads and luminous eyes. The two creatures, holding cables or
tubes attached to the craft, jumped into the water and moved about
their ship for around two hours. When they returned inside the
object, all three left at a high rate of speed, leaving the
terrified residents of Nice wondering at what this omen from God
could possibly mean.

Locals reportedly saw a bizarre creature emerging
from sea right off the coast. It was described as a human shaped
figure covered in scales and with what appeared to be "snakes"
protruding from its hands. Canon fire was directed towards the
creature without any apparent effect. Around the same time off the
coast of Nice in France fishermen saw an object that descended
towards the sea, a blood-like substance was seen to drop from the
object. Others saw three "vessels" moving at high speed above the
city. The three vessels then approach the local fortress and descend
to the water causing a great boiling of the sea and emitting
ochre-red vapor. To the great stupor of those present, two humanoid
beings, with large heads and large luminous eyes dressed in red
scaly combination outfits emerge from the vessels. These humanoids
appeared to be connected to their vessels by long tubes. The
humanoids spent several hours involved in "strange" work around
their vessels. Meanwhile soldiers in the fortress shot cannon at the

best to keep the fire going. This account, which was published in
Paris, is supplemented by a more complete version printed in Rennes.
This latter version adds that the demon was seen clearly by all,
inside the fire, sometimes green, sometimes blue and yellow. The
authorities threw into the roaring fire a quantity of Agni Dei,
close to one hundred and fifty buckets of water, and forty or fifty
carloads of manure---to no avail. The demon was still there, and the
fire kept happily burning. Something drastic had to be done, a
consecrated host was placed inside a loaf of bread and thrown into

burning pyramid. This the visitor could not stand, he whistled in a

while his family was all fast asleep. Just after midnight "he could
perceive a light entering his little room." Suddenly a dozen or so
little beings "in the shape of men, and two or three women, with
small children in their arms" walked in. The room seemed different
somehow. It was illuminated, and appeared to be "wider" than before.
The beings began to dance around and tuck into a special feast,
inviting the witness to try the meat. This went on for four hours,
and in the meantime "he could perceive no voice" except for the
occasional whisper in Welsh "bidding him hold his peace." He found
it impossible to wake up his wife. Finally, the party of little
spirits moved their dancing on to another room, and then departed.
Until the man cried out at last and woke up his family, for some

of visions of a lady and child that were to occur regularly over a

therefore ask the priest to come here with his people in

Ebenezer Babson was returning home late one night
when he saw two men step out of his house and dash into a cornfield.
When he ran inside to check on his family's welfare, his wife and
children were nonplussed by his questions; no intruders had entered
the house, they insisted. Babson grabbed a gun and went outside,
where he spotted the two men bolting up from behind a log. As they
escaped to a nearby swamp, one was overheard saying to the other,
"The man of the house is now come; else we might have taken the
house." The family retreated to a military garrison not far away,
and Babson then sneaked outside, where he encountered the two men
again. The following day he came upon them a third time and they
chased him into the garrison. Over the next week or two Babson,
sometimes alone, sometimes in the company of others, had further
encounters with mysterious strangers, suspected to be
French-Canadian scouts in league with hostile Indians. On July 14
the entire garrison watched half a dozen of the strangers. A pursuit
party, with Babson in the lead, got within gunshot range. Babson
fired on them, and three fell to the ground, only to rise to their
feet with no apparent signs of injury. As they fled one turned to
fire on Babson; the bullet narrowly missed him and lodged in a tree,
from which its intended victim subsequently retrieved it. A few
minutes later the garrison group trapped one of the strangers.
Babson shot him, and the man dropped. But when Babson and his
companions rushed to the spot, no one was there. Several days' later
two scouts from the garrison observed eleven of the strange men as
they performed what looked like peculiar incantations. Richard
Dolliver fired on them, causing them to scatter. As sightings
continued, the strangers were accused of beating on barns, throwing
stones, and other acts. Babson experienced one of the last
sightings. Seeing three strangers, he dived behind a bush and waited

Two men working in a mine
extracting malachite and other ore had gone for a brief rest on a
nearby meadow. They lied down on the grass and went to sleep.
Suddenly one of the men named Stepan Petrovich awoke by a sudden
push on his side. He then saw a strange "woman" sitting in front of
him near a large stone. Her outer appearance was that of a very
attractive young woman with black plaited hair, she had several red
and green beads attached to her plaits. She was not very tall and
moved with inhuman speed, like "mercury" changing her position
numerous times. Petrovich called her "mercury-girl". Petrovich then
heard her speaking to someone that was apparently invisible in a
language that was totally unknown to him, evidently laughing at the
witness and obviously talking about him. Her manner of dress amazed
Petrovich, she wore something like a silk dress but apparently made
out of malachite stone (?). The witness became frightened, since he
had already heard tales of encounters with a strange female entity
in this same area. She was called "The Mistress of Copper Mountain".
He also heard of the different tricks played on humans by entity or
entities, he thought to escape, but she suddenly turned around and
smiling said, "So why are you staring at my beauty Stepan Petrovich?
People pay money just to look at me, come closer, we will talk a
bit". Somehow the stranger knew the witness name. Seized by fear
Stepan told her that he had no time to talk, but she insisted and
the young man was forced to obey. The stranger ordered Stepan to
approach her and at this point he noticed what appeared to be
hundreds of "lizards" all around her, off different colors, green,
bluish, brown ones with gold spots, etc. "Don't step on them!" The
strange woman warned, "They are my army". "Look how big and heavy
you are and they are small". She then clapped her hands and the
lizards went away. Stepan came closer to her and stopped, but the
strange woman clapped her hand again speaking to him in a
humiliating manner, and threatening him, "Now you have no place to
go, if you step on my servants, you will be in trouble!" He looked
down and saw hundreds of lizards gathered at one spot. The female
then said, "Now you have recognized me Stepan. Don't be afraid. I
will not harm you." But Stepan pointed out that he was indeed very
afraid. The strange woman then ordered Stepan that tomorrow once he
was down at the mine he must tell his bosses the following words,
"The owner-mistress of the Copper Mountain is ordering you, you
stinking he-goat (!) to leave the Red Mountain pit at once. If you
continue in destroying my iron cap, I will drop the entire copper
deep into the bowels of the earth and it will never be found". She
made Stepan repeat her order and again told him not to be afraid.
She then ordered Stepan to leave and not to tell anything to his
companion. She clapped her hands once more and the lizards again
went away. She jumped up grabbed a stone and also ran away. At this
moment the stunned Stepan noticed that her outer appearance had
suddenly changed, he could see now that she had green paws, a tail
with a black crest running down her back, but her head still
remained human in appearance. She climbed to the top of the mountain
and said, "Don't forget what I told you Stepan, if you follow my
instructions, I will marry you!" Stepan replied disgusted that he
would never marry a lizard and spit in her direction. She laughed
and said, "We will meet again later, maybe then you would have
reached a decision." She then jumped again and disappeared behind a
large rock. The stunned Stepan pondered what to do since he was both
afraid of the reptile woman and his boss. But soon he made the
decision to do what he was asked. The next morning he approached his
boss in the pit and gave him the message. This infuriated his boss,
who accused Stepan of being either drunk or crazy. But Stepan
remained firm stating that it was the Mistress of the Copper
Mountain's will. The boss then ordered the others to tie up Stepan
with a chain and to beat him mercilessly. He was then imprisoned
deep in an underground pit, riveted by a long chain, and exposed to
mockery and humiliation.
When Stepan was left alone he began
beating on the rock, causing the malachite to crumble. Suddenly it
became dry around him and in a moment he saw a bright light and the
lizard woman standing before him, she said, "Good man, Stepan
Petrovich. You have honored me, you were not afraid of your boss."
The woman then told Stepan to follow her, that she always kept her
word, she was going to show him her dowry. She clapped her hands and
hundreds of lizards appeared quickly removing Stephan's chain. She
then invited Stepan into her realm. They went deep into the
mountain. She walked ahead, Stepan following closely. Amazingly
Stepan watched as they penetrated deeper and deeper into the rock,
which appeared to recede in their path. He then saw huge tunnels,
caverns and large underground rooms, with decorated walls, with
copper flowers. The surroundings looked stunning to Stepan. The
woman's dress also appeared to be changing colors, sparking like a
diamond, and then shining with a greenish tint. Soon they entered a
huge room with beds, chairs, and stools, all made out of copper. The
walls were made of malachite, encrusted with diamonds and the
ceiling was dark red with copper flowers. The "Lizard Queen" then
ordered Stepan to sit and asked him if he liked her dowry and if he
would marry her. Stepan was hesitant since he already had a bride
named Anastasia. He answered that her dowry was a king's ransom but
he was just a working simple man. She frowned, and said, "Don't
hesitate, will you marry me or not?" Stepan answered that he
couldn't since he already had a bride. He was afraid that the woman
would become angry. But incredibly, the "Lizard Queen" was thankful
and appreciative for his honesty and gave Stepan a present for his
wife, a malachite box filled with all types of jewelry. Stepan then
asked how he would get back. She told him not to worry, that it all
will be arranged, and added that he would be liberated from his boss
and that hew would live a rich life with his bride. He was then fed
various kinds of food and then the "Lizard Queen" bade farewell
giving Stepan several stones pointing out that they would make him
rich. Stepan then asked which way he should go, the "Lizard Queen"
then pointed with her clawed hands at the stone wall and a hole
appeared in front of his eyes that led into a tunnel. Stepan
followed the tunnel in which he saw many "treasures". As he walked
the tunnel closed behind him automatically.
Soon after this
adventure, Stepan became rich and lucky and people rumored that he
had "traded his soul with the Devil". The work in the mine soon
stopped and everything happened as the "Lizard Queen" had predicted.
But unfortunately Stepan's health deteriorated and he began "fading
away". Several years his dead body was found near the abandoned Red
Mountain pit mine, it is said that he had a smile on his face and
his rifle was lying nearby. Locals reported seeing a tall green
lizard type figure standing over him and crying over his
body.

Men working for the famous plant owner,
industrialist, Demidov, engaged in finding ores in this region of
the Ural reported capturing a strange gnome-like entity, which they
found living underground in a cave. The weird creature reportedly
lived for a time inside Demidov's canary cage, but it died several
days or weeks after it was caught, either as a result of inadequate
shelter, or more likely as a result of inadequate nourishment.
Knowing about the interest in weird things by the first Russian Czar
Peter the Great, Demidov ordered that the body of the strange
gnome-like creature be "pickled" and shipped by convoy to the
capital of Saint Petersburg where the dead body of the dwarf was
eventually put into what was called a "Kunst-camera" (a sort of
special museum for bizarre and weird things created by Peter the
Great). Hundreds of years later during the 1960's one of the
scientific research team members working with professor Dr. V. F.
Porshnev PhD (a famous Soviet anthropologist) investigated the story
and Dr. Porshnev who was also a researcher on relic hominoids and
"snow man" reports, made an inquiry to the museum (despite the fact
he had no interest on so-called dwarfs or gnomes). The answer was
strange: There wasn't any gnome in the "Kunst-camera" the whole
thing apparently had just been an unusual "dwarf-monkey" that was
transferred to the Zoological museum in 1936. The researchers were
puzzled and realized that Demidov could have hardly fooled Peter the
Great by sending him 'bogus' materials, and they also knew that
there were no such "monkeys" living among the cold pine forests of
the Ural Mountains. Apparently what had happened was that
researchers in the 1930s became interested in this extremely
unorthodox and inconvenient exhibit and for the sake of "modern
science" it was transferred to a hidden repository away from people.
Evidently was uncommon in appearance and was not a monkey, and was
very difference from Homo sapiens. According to ancient legends,
there are underground cities, caves and tunnels under the Ural
Mountains where these alien entities dwell on a regular
basis.

the 1996 Kyshtym dwarf entity who allegedly also died after
being
captured.]

Respected local artisan,
Alberto Gordoni was walking in the castle's yard when he suddenly
disappeared in plain sight, before the eyes of his stunned wife and
other witnesses, including the Duke of Zenini and other fellow
countrymen. The stunned witnesses immediately dug around the area
but failed to find any tract of Gordoni or hollow pits where he
could had fallen into. 22-years later (!) Gordoni appeared back at
the very place where he had disappeared---in the dominion's yard.
Alberto himself claimed that he had not disappeared at all, so he
was then immediately taken to a rest home for the "feeble minded".
7-years later the doctor, Father Mario spoke with Alberto there. He
understood that somehow Alberto felt that a short time had only
elapsed between his disappearance and appearance. Alberto told
Father Mario that on that fateful day he had suddenly found himself
in something like a tunnel and walked along the tunnel toward a
vague white light. He did not see any familiar objects there only
"weird mechanisms" totally unknown and unrecognizable to him.
Alberto then saw something that looked like a large canvas all
covered with stars and "dots" which seemed to pulsate independently.
There he also encountered a tall thin human-like figure with long
hair, probably a female. The entity told him that he had fallen into
a "cleft" (fissure, crack) of "time and space" and it will be very
difficult to deliver him back. While Alberto waited for his return,
begging the strange entity to "send him back", Alberto was told
about "holes opening up in the darkness" and about "white drops" and
"thoughts that move with the speed of light" she also told him about
"souls without flesh and body" and bodies without souls, about
flying cities, where eternally young entities dwell. Doctor Mario
was convinced by the witness story, realizing that Alberto had not
lied. So he took Alberto back to Takoni, to the location where it
had occurred. Incredibly, Alberto took one step at the location and
again disappeared in plain sight, this time forever. He was never
found. Father Mario crossed himself and ordered the location fenced
in calling it "The Trap of the Devil". Apparently within that "trap"
time and space flowed at a very much slower pace that than on Earth

that Goethe suddenly became aware of lights in the ravine below

illuminated. In a funnel shaped space there were innumerable little
lights shining, ranged step---fashion over one another; and they
shone so brilliantly that the eye was dazzled. But the sight was

their effort was useless, it would not budge an inch. Then the local
drunkard, a man named Pouchkine arrived, he was known as a gambler,
even a heretic, and everyone looked down on his ways. But despite
his faults, he was known to be very courageous. He was led to the

terror; one of the circles on the ball had opened up, revealing a
single inhuman eye. Pouchkine sneered and carried on with his blows
against the object. He struck it so hard, in fact that the blade
snapped off. The peasants fled in fear. Behind them they saw the
drunkard and his steed were both becoming transparent and then
finally disappear into the air. They could still faintly hear his

disappeared into the water, to reappear a short time later. When

principal witnesses, an elderly farm couple living in the deepest

of horse-men, high up in the air all mounted on winged horses." The
"battle" lasted 10 minutes after the commander of one army cried
"Charge!" the two armies dashing into each other, thrusting and
hacking, the ring of their clashing swords audible, their blades
glittering and flashing in the setting Sun's rays. When one army was
routed and left the field, the shouts of the victors and wails of
the defeated were plainly heard. On subsequent evenings, the old

his arms of extraordinary length. Above the waist, he was shaped
like a man, but as the water was clear the men could perceive that

he is "an Angel of God" again confronts Martin. The supposed angel
formulated a secret message for him to present to the King. The next

In the early 1800's John Bell moved his family from
North Carolina to the Red River bottomland in Robertson County,
Tennessee, setting in a community that later became known as Adams.
Bell purchased some land and a large log home for his family. The
Bells quickly made many friends and gained prominence in the
community. John Bell acquired additional land and cleared a number
of fields over the next several years. One day in 1817, John Bell
was inspecting his cornfield when he encountered a strange-looking
animal sitting in the middle of a cornrow. Shocked by the appearance
of this animal, which had the body of a dog and the head of a
rabbit, Bell shot at it several times without any apparent effect.
The animal then vanished. Bell thought nothing more about the
incident---at least not until after dinner. That evening, the Bells
began hearing "beating" sounds on the outside of their house. These
mysterious sounds continued with increased force each night. Bell
and his sons often hurried outside to catch the culprit but always
returned empty handed. The noises were soon followed by more
problems. The Bell children began waking up frightened and
complaining of sounds much like rats gnawing at their bedposts. It
wasn't long until the children began complaining of more terrifying
things---having their bed covers pulled and their pillows were
tossed onto the floor by a seemingly invisible force.

room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage
appeared at his bedside, standing in air, for his feet did not touch
the floor. The entity had no shoes but wore a loose white robe that
shone so brightly that Smith declared that he did not "belied that
any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and
brilliant." The figure introduced himself as Moroni a messenger sent
by God. Moroni had a message for the young man. Smith had been
chosen to translate part of the scriptures then would let the world
know the true story of the American continent. All he had to do was
to dig them up at a particular spot on the Hill of Cumorah, where
they had lain buried for centuries, and translated them into
English. Adding a few quotes from the Old Testament for good
measure, mainly about ancient prophesies that were shortly going to
be fulfilled. Moroni then left. This is how Joseph Smith described
the moment that this happened: "I saw the light in my room gather
immediately around the person of him who had been speaking to me,
and it continued to do so until the room was again left dark, except
just around him: when, instantly I saw, as it were, a conduit open
right into heaven, and he ascended until he entirely disappeared." A
little while later, on the same night, the "angel" reappeared in
Smith's room. According to the visitor, the future was grim, and
"great desolations by famine, sword and pestilence" would be coming.
Having related those things, he again ascended as he had done
before. The mysterious Moroni appeared again that

Feyodor, the old gardener of
the estate belonging to the Russian Tsar (Emperor) Alexander the
First (1777-1825) was returning home from the christening of his
granddaughter. The night was cold and windy. The witness later was
to allege on his deathbed that he was "completely sober" explaining
that he couldn't use alcohol since birth because of a distinct
allergy to it. The closer Feyodor got to the garden the stormier it
seemed to become. The wind was literally knocking him down when
suddenly everything became quiet. The gardener was amazed by the
sudden change in the weather and looked around. And then
unexpectedly the whole garden was lit up by an unbelievably bright
"diabolic" light. Feyodor raised his head to the sky and saw a huge
bluish sphere or globe "as if made out of fire". The garden became
illuminated just like broad daylight as a result of the light. The
old man's knees became weak as he then lay down next to a bush to
observe what occurred next. The scene he beheld was spectacular. The
globe-shaped fiery object descended lower and lower straight down
onto the garden. Near the ground three narrow shiny landing props
jutted out of the object. And at the same time the verandah's door
was flung open, and Tsar Alexander the First and his wife Elizabeth
appeared, both casually dressed for a night's walk. Amazingly, as
appeared to the witness the incredibly sight did not seem to bother
them or affect them in any way. The Emperor then turned to his wife
and kissed her on her forehead; he then sharply turned and began
walking along the garden path towards the fiery globe. The Empress
remained standing in place and covered her face with her palms. The
elderly witness then saw Alexander approach the fiery globe. The
Emperor was then levitated into the air and seemed to melt into the
fiery globe. The next second Feyodor lost consciousness and blacked
out. Later he woke up feeling a strong icy wind all around him. In
the morning of November 19 1825 at 0900A the death of the Emperor
was publicly announced. The empress testified about the fact. The
body in the closed coffin was never examined to establish the fact
that it was really that of Alexander the first. Feyodor only
confessed about the incident on his deathbed and died in complete
belief that the Tsar was taken to God and the skies alive because
"of his good deeds."

proximity of each other, with blue and white shades. The phenomenon
lasted for about 2hours. After that the area became dark again and
the sky again appeared normal. Soon after this observation, bizarre
looking strangers appeared in the Saratov region. These "men" looked
aged, like elderly men, with strange yellow-greenish looking faces,
and all the men were beardless. These strangers visited several
villages but never begged for alms. When the locals attempted to

unrecognizable language, which the Russian villagers could not
understand. So the strangers were then considered eccentric or crazy
(if indeed extraterrestrials, a perfect disguise which did not
attract too much attention). Neither village elders nor district

strangers aroused the suspicion of local representatives and

affairs from the town of Balashov. This report stated that on the
above date at around 2100 there was very bright lighting over the
area corresponding with the rumble of thunder that lighted the sky.
And then at 2200 a blood red colored spot appeared in the center of
the sky which was visible for 5 minutes, the spot then took an
elongated form, becoming pinkish in color and moving towards the
northwest, in half an hour the sky appeared to clear and the red
"spot" moved to the west and separated into several dozen
cone-shaped columns stretching to the horizon and becoming dark red
in color. After that the north was covered with whitish-red stripes
that slowly drifted towards the west. The phenomenon vanished around
2300.

Devout Catholic Mikoaj Sikatka a local shepherd was
working on a pasture when he saw a beautiful woman. She blessed God
and said, "Mikoaj, tell the people that the punishment for their
sins is approaching. The plague will appear in this area...encourage
them to do penance and prayer. If they are righteous there will be
no punishment. Especially they should pray to the rosary and
consider the life of Jesus Christ and his martyrdom." Mikoaj was
also told that a great war was approaching. She also asked him to
fix up the nearby chapel since there will be many visitors soon. But
the modest and shy shepherd didn't tell anybody about the encounter.
After a few weeks and while praying in the field he saw the woman
again. The extraordinary looking woman prayed for humanity's sins,
and called for penance and to pray with the rosary. She then spoke
about Polish history and foretold the rebirth of Poland. She
reprimanded him for his passivity in revealing her predictions.
However he became more confused since he didn't know how. He shared
his views with the woman (Mary?) during a prayer in the woods in
August 15. The woods shone with brilliance and he saw Mary for the
third time. He had a white eagle on her chest. She repeated the
warnings and added, "I will never leave the people and will save
them just like this white eagle." She told him that her image should
be removed from the forest chapel and placed in a more accessible
location, since soon pilgrims will be arriving from different
locations in Poland. "A magnificent temple devoted to me will be
built there soon". And she said to Mikoaj, "Preach about what you
have seen and heard" and as proof she made the old shepherd younger
(!).

A local and highly
respectable and intelligent farmer reported a most remarkable
phenomenon. Walking over a hill on his farm early one morning, his
attention was arrested by a light cloud of pale mist of remarkable
form, being perfectly circular, slowly uprising from the neighboring
valley. The sun was shining brightly around him from the other side
and as the cloud gradually floated up still retaining its form,
which was very like that of the halo often observed around the moon,
he found it present an inner circle much smaller but well defined,
and containing, as in a frame a human figure of most colossal
proportions. Instead of standing aghast in the mute amaze of
motionless horror, as many would have done, he saluted the specter
with a bow, which was returned by the airy phantom with the utmost
promptitude and civility. He then walked away for a little and on
returning found the shadow still visible, which continued to bow and
otherwise imitate every motion he made, thus proving it to be a
reflection of his own form in the cloud (?).

Adele Brise was on her way to the grist mill
with a sack of wheat on her head and as she came near the place, she
saw a lady in white standing between two trees, one a maple, the
other a hemlock. Adele was frightened and stood still. The vision
slowly disappeared, leaving a white cloud after it. Adele continued
on her errand and returned home without seeing anything more. On the
following Sunday, she had to pass on her way to Mass at Bay
Settlement this time she was not alone, but was accompanied by her
sister Isabel and a neighbor Mrs. Vander Niessen. When they came
near the trees, the same lady in white was at the place where Adele
had seen her before. Adele was again frightened, and said, almost in
a tone of reproach, "Oh, there is that lady again." The other two
did not see anything, but they could tell by Adele's look that she
was afraid. Adele then saw the lady disappear as the first time, and
all she could see was a little mist or white cloud. After Mass, her
two companions and a man who was clearing land for the Holy Cross
Fathers at Bay Settlement accompanied Adele. As they approached the
"hallowed" spot Adele could see the beautiful lady, clothed in
dazzling white, with a yellow sash around her waist. Her dress fell
to her knees in graceful folds. She had a crown of stars around her
head, and her long, golden wavy hair fell loosely around her
shoulders. Overcome by this heavenly light and the beauty of her
amiable visitor, Adele fell to her knees. At this point the
mysterious lady told Adele: "I am the Queen of Heaven, who prays for
the conversion of sinners, and I wish you to do the same. You
received Holy Communion this morning, and that is well. But you must
do more. Make a general confession, and offer Communion for the
conversion of sinners. If they do not convert and do penance, my Son
will be obliged to punish them." Soon the manifestation then lifted
her hands, as though beseeching a blessing for those at her feet and
slowly vanished, leaving Adele overwhelmed and prostrate on the

The Danish brig "Christine" was wrecked on a desert
rock or island several miles in size. The survivors, including a Mr.
Oleson had gathered at the base of a cliff waiting for the end as
the waves dashed & the winds howled on the rocks. Suddenly from
high in the air they saw what seemed to be an immense ship, driven,
uncontrolled in the elements. It was headed straight toward the
frightened mariners, who cried aloud in despair. But suddenly a
whirl of wind changed the course of the object and it crashed
against the cliff a few hundred yards from the miserable sailors.
Afraid they crept toward the wreck. It appeared to be a vessel as
large as a modern battleship, but the machinery was so crushed that
they could form no idea as to how the power was applied to the
immense wings or sails. Strange implements and articles of furniture
could be seen jumbled in an almost shapeless mass. They found in
metal boxes covered with strange characters what they afterward
discovered to be very wholesome and palatable food, which, with the
water in the rocks, saved them from immediate death. Their horror
was intensified when they found the bodies of more than a dozen men
dressed in garments of strange fashion and texture. The bodies were
dark bronze in color, but the strangest feature of all was the
immense size of the men. They were estimated to have been more than
12 ft high. They had long hair and beards. They found tools of
almost every kind but to large to be used. One man was driven insane
& jumped from the cliff into the boiling waters. The others fled
in horror from the fearful sight. But hunger forced them to return
to the site. After eating heartily of the strange food, they
summoned courage to drag the gigantic bodies to the cliff and tumble
them over. The survivors were finally able to build a raft and left

A remarkable phenomenon was witnessed a few miles
west of this place, at the house of Mrs. Pearcy, by Mr. Moses Dwyer,
her neighbor, who happened to be seated in her porch at the time, as
well as by others at or near the house. The weather was quite hot
and dry, not a cloud could be seen, and no wind even ruffled the
foliage on the surrounding trees. All things being propitious the
grand panorama began to move---just over and through the tops of the
trees on the adjacent hills on the South, immense numbers of rolls
resembling cotton or smoke, apparently thousands of them, and were,
perhaps, an hour in getting by. After these had passed over and out
of sight, the scene was changed from the air above to the earth
beneath, and became more intensely interesting to the spectators who
were witnessing the panorama from different standpoints. In the deep
valley beneath thousands upon thousands of apparently human beings
(men) came in low traveling in the same direction of the rolls
marching in good order, some thirty or forty in depth, moving
rapidly---"double quick," and commence ascending the sides of the
almost insurmountable hills opposite, and had the stoop peculiar to
men when they ascend a steep mountain. There seemed to be great
variety in the size of the men, some were very large whilst others
were quite small. Their arms, legs, and heads could be distinctly
seen in motion. They seemed to observe strict military discipline
and there were no stragglers. There was uniformity of dress, loose
white blouses or shirts with white pants wore hats and were without
guns, swords, or anything they indicated "men of war." On they came
through the valley and over the steep hill crossing the road and
finally passing out of sight, in a direction due North from those
who were looking on. On the 14th of the same month, the same scene
almost identical, was seen by 8 or 10 of our pickets at Bunger's

Rocky Mountain trapper, James Lumley was
engaged in trapping in the mountains about 75 five or 100 hundred
miles above the great falls of the Upper Missouri when after sunset
one evening he beheld a bright, luminous body in the heavens, which
was moving with a great rapidity in an easterly direction. It was
plainly visible for at least five seconds, when it suddenly
separated into particles, resembling the bursting of a skyrocket in
the air. A few minutes later he heard a heavy explosion, which
jarred the earth very perceptibly, and this was shortly after
followed by a rumbling sound, like a tornado sweeping through the
forest. A strong wind sprang up about the same time, but as suddenly
subsided. The air was filled with a peculiar odor of a sulfuric
character. On the ensuing day he discovered at a distance of about 2
miles from his camping place, that, as far as he could see in either
direction, a path had been cut through the forest, several rods
wide---giant trees uprooted or broken off near the ground---the tops
of hills shaved off, and the earth plowed up in many places. Great
and widespread havoc was everywhere visible. Following up this track
of desolation, he soon ascertained the cause of it in the shape of
an immense stone that had been driven into the side of a mountain.
An examination of the stone, or so much of it as was visible, showed
that it had been divided into compartments, and that in various
places; it was carved with curious hieroglyphics. More than this,
Lumley also discovered fragments of a substance resembling glass,
and here and there dark stains, as though caused by a dark liquid.
He was confident that the hieroglyphics were the work of human
hands, and that the stone itself, although but a fragment of an
immense body, must have been used for some purpose by animated
beings. During that time a bright meteor was visible in the area of
Leavenworth and Galena. At Leavenworth it was seen to separate in
particles and explode.

On Monday night the owner of a local
plantation and his family had retired to rest when suddenly they
were aroused by a great outcry from the Negro quarters, which was
immediately to the rear of the house. They heard men, women and
children screaming in terror, creating a scene of utter pandemonium.
His wife and him sprang from their bed. Their room was illuminated
as brightly as by a flood of sunlight, though the light was of a
bluish cast. At first they thought that the Negro cabins were being
consumed by fire. They rushed to the windows and beheld a sight that
fairly curdled the blood in their veins with horror and filled their
hearts with outmost terror. Their daughters, shrieking loudly, came
flying into the room, hysterical with fear. They beheld, standing to
the right of the upper cabin, near the fence that separated the
Negro's garden from the house yard a creature of gigantic stature,
and the most horrifying appearance. It was nearly as high as the
cabin and had a monstrous head not similar in shape to that of an
ape, with two short white horns above each eye, and it had long
arms, covered with shaggy hair of an ashen hue that terminated in
huge paws, not unlike those of a cat, and armed with huge and hooked
claws. Its breast was as broad as that of a large sized ox, its legs
resembled the front legs of a horse, and only the hoofs were cloven.
It had a long tail armed with a dart shaped horn, which it was
continually switching about. Its eyes glowed like two living coals
of fire, while its nostrils and mouth were emitting sheets of blue
colored flame, with a hissing sound, like the hissing of a serpent
only a thousand fold louder. Its general color, save the arms, was a
dull dingy brown. The air was powerfully impregnated with a smell of
burning sulfur. The poor Negroes were evidently laboring under
extreme terror, and two of them, an old woman and a lad were
actually driven to insanity by their fears and have not recovered
their reason up to this writing. The strange creature then was
enveloped in a spiral in a spiral column of flame that reached
nearly to the top of the locust trees adjacent, and which hid its
horrid form completely from view. The extinction of the flame was
instantaneous, and with its disappearance they were relieved of the
presence of this remarkable visitor. It was reported that the same

A wonderful phenomenon has
recently made its appearance in this locale about two miles from
Brooksville and has been seen by quite a number of the worthy
citizens of the county. On the above date one of our citizens, a
prominent tobacco merchant, residing in Brooksville was returning
home from the southern portion of the county where he had been
buying some crops of tobacco and belated was riding along the road
when suddenly he beheld a most frightful object in the middle of the
road, immediately in front of him. The "object" was about six feet
in height and walked upright. The face was at times that of a man,
very pale, with curls of flame falling over his shoulders, eyes of
sulfurous blue, changing constantly in size, one moment large as a
tin cup, and then gradually decreasing in size until it was almost
invisible. Its arms were those of a man, and hands deadly pale. In
one hand, it held a torch, and in the other a sword that seemed to
be about four feet in length. Its lower extremity was that of a
horse, with legs well proportioned, and hoofs as those of a horse.
Its tail, which was about three feet in length, was of flame. Its
breath was a solid sheet of fire, which vibrated with the heaving of
its breast, like the pendulum of a clock. It was certainly the most
frightful thing the witness ever beheld. It walked off to the side
of the road, and then vanished. When it disappeared the witness
immediately put spurs to his horse and galloped by the spot where he
had seen it. When he arrived at the summit of the hill, about 200
yards off, he looked back and saw the creature in the same spot
where he had first beheld it. He stopped his horse and watched for a
moment, it walked over to the left side of the road and mounted a
rail fence that stood there, and commenced running toward the
witness. The witness did not stay to see remainder of the drama. He
immediately rode to town, and having told the adventure to some of

At numbers of times has an immense figure been seen passing to and

contracts to a sort of hoof, and has assaulted Mr. Brown, when he
attempted after dark to feed his horses and stock, in such a manner
and with such violence that he has been compelled to flee to his
house for safety. The figure, to the best of Mr. Brown's

horizontally to the distance of some six to eight feet, and supplied
on each side with huge and tremendous arms. It is of a pale bluish

courageous gentleman called Siger, who happened with his wife to
spend the evening at Mr. Brown's to go to the stable to feed his
horses. Siger, not believing the story, went without hesitation,
when, upon entering the stable, he was alarmed by the fall at or
near his feet, with a deep rumbling sound, of a tremendous stone.
Siger without looking to see whence the rock came, picked the stone
up, and it was so hot that he was compelled to drop it. Upon looking
up he beheld the unearthly monster not over fifty yards from him,
and the air became quickly filled and inoculated with brimstone. Not
wishing to be thought a coward, he did not mention anything of this
at the house, but upon walking home with his wife the same night he
told her of what happened at the stable, and instantly she became
alarmed, and was carried home in a state of apparent insensibility.

A man named Just encountered a small man, that wore
brown clothing, without any buttons, and on its head he had a large
hat. The small man claimed he was an angel and opened up his coat
and a bright light shone from inside of it. Apparently the small man
gave the witness a letter of "heavenly"
origin.

Three men working on splitting posts and rails for
fencing were startled to see a small white object of no particular
form, on the ground nearby. The object suddenly grew into a white
eight-foot tall humanoid figure. One of the men struck it with a
stick and it sounded hollow. The figure then chased the men. The men
encountered this same figure on another occasion and also saw a
strange animal resembling a dog with a chain attached to it.
