Black Shadows and Mystery Lights

One cold night when the moon was dark, three men sat drinking in a shack by the side of a local lane. The shack was hard to see because it was down in a gulch, but it was right beside the road. They were drunks and the whole town knew it. The neighbors had learned to ignore the laughter, shouting, hoots and howls that emanated from the place in the wee hours. Whose home the shack was is hard to say. All sorts of riffraff hung out there. Drivers had to be careful at the dip in the road by the shack's gulch. Often drunks were stumbling about in the road. There seemed to be one snaggletooth, shaggy-bearded old man there the most. I later found out he wasn't so old - only in his forties - at his demise, and in that demise lies a tale - a continuing tale of blood and horror.

I had grown up not too far from this lane, so I knew about the shack. My parents admonished me not to ride my bike by the place - ever! I didn't, but the truth is, this place was part of my childhood landscape.

On that cold night, the neighbors had called the sheriff's office - again. The revelers at the shack were fighting and there were some awful and chilling sounds. By the time the sheriff's department arrived, all had fallen quiet, deathly quiet.

The first deputy on the porch slipped and fell down on the slick planks. He put his hand on the porch floor to rise and noticed it was covered with a thick, sticky, slick substance. He shined his flashlight on his hand. It was black blood.

I remember the stories, some from one of the deputies actually there, of what happened next. The two deputies yelled for the inhabitants to come out. This was the standard procedure for the shack and its inhabitants. No one wanted to get too close to the drunks. Sometimes they were combative and sometimes they had weapons. On this night there was no reply, but after calling again they heard a gurgling sound, accompanied by a moan. The deputies radioed for back-up and proceeded. They carefully made their way to the front door, covering each other. From the open, dark door exuded the stale odor of old booze and a sickly sweet, salty smell that reminded one of the deputies of the way it smells when fish bed or the smell of a hog slaughter.
The first deputy on the porch slipped and fell down on the slick planks. He put his hand on the porch floor to rise and noticed it was covered with a thick, sticky, slick substance. He shined his flashlight on his hand. It was black blood. He shined the flashlight into the shack and what he saw changed him. All the guys at the department said he was never the same again.

Other units arrived and more lights probed the darkness of the shack. The shabby and broken furniture glistened darkly with blood. Three figures lay sprawled about the interior, including the snaggletooth, shaggy bearded man. It was uncertain whose moan they had heard because all three were now dead. Their throats were all gashed and raggedly slashed by broken bottles. One had the neck of a broken liquor bottle sticking from the side of his throat. Another was nearly decapitated. Several of the deputies and other officials became ill at the sight and the smell.
The final report of the incident stated that apparently the three men had gotten into a brawl, possibly over an old hag of a woman that frequented the shack to drink and do whatever, and killed each other. That was based on rumor. The presumption was the last one left standing succumbed to his massive wounds after the others had, with that final moan. It was altogether possible that someone else might have killed them and fled. There never was any evidence to support that. The woman was not to be found for questioning and was never seen again.

The authorities boarded the old shack up. I remember finally riding my bicycle by the shack and looking at this place of horror with morbid fascination. Within a year, it mysteriously burned to ashes one dark, cold night.

But, that was not the end.

As is so often with horrible events, the very virulence of the evil embeds itself onto, or into, the surroundings. That is the way of evil: it taints a place and salts the soil so nothing good comes of it, then it advertises.

Immediately, even before the house burned down, the sheriffs department startled to get calls from the same area neighbors saying there were sounds coming from the boarded up shack. The neighbors seemed to think that ghoulish teenagers were breaking into the place and partying there. There were rumors of satanic worshippers using the place. Some of the neighbors reported feeling uneasy about the shack, even more so than when its occupants tread the soil as mortals.

It wasn't until after it had burned that people started seeing the lights. Neighbors could see them from the distance, always described as swinging oil lanterns. It just so happened that the shack never did have electricity and that oil lamps were used for lighting. Those driving past the site in cars saw lights down in the gulch by the road.

Then there are the dark figures in the road.

Many people have run through the dark shadows. One had seen four shadows: three men and one woman. He said that he had stopped and watched them "glide about." He noticed that they had eyes - malevolent eyes - and they were staring at him.

Traveling on this lane from north to south, one climbs a slight hill, but once cresting the hill there is a short gradual slope, then a sharp dip in the road. The shack sat aside the west side of the road, somewhere between the crest and the dip. All that area has changed now and it is hard for me to remember the shack's exact location, but those who have lived there seem to know.

"Yep, I saw them bunches of times," says one man who used to live within sight of the spot. "I also knows a whole bunch of folks that has seen them, too! First thing I ever noted that was wrong was that you'd see lights moving through all that scrub brush growing down in that hole by the veterinarian's driveway, across from the old factory. It looked like someone was walking all through that thick brush with some kind of light on a handle like a railroad conductor uses. The light swung as they walked. Yeah, and I seen them in the road, too: them dark figures. There's more than one. I come up over the hill one night and I come down in the dip and there was two black shadows - that's what they looked like, shadows - standing out in the road right smack dab in front of me! I ran right through them, and as I did so I felt this horrible cold feeling go all over me, like goose bumps! There weren't no noise, no thump and no dents and scratches on my car. It was like I run through smoke. And, that happened several times whilst I lived out there in the '70s and '80s. I got kind of used to it, if such a thing be possible."

I've heard this tale, or ones very similar to it, from several people now. Most have not seen the lights, but many people have run through the dark shadows. One I spoke with told me that he had seen four shadows one night: three men and one woman. He said that he had stopped and watched them "glide about," and that after he had watched them for a minute or so, he suddenly noticed that they had eyes - malevolent eyes - and they were staring at him. He says he backed up the road to keep from driving through them and that his transmission on his truck went out later that night. He knows that was connected to the dark figures.

I heard a story of the dark shapes as recently as last week. A person was introduced to me, because I am a willing listener to such stories and have achieved the dubious reputation as somewhat of a local authority on such matters. This family man lives in one of the new subdivisions to the area. He is a no-nonsense sort of guy, a level-headed businessman and pillar of his community and church. He confesses that he has driven through the dark shadows three times over the last two years, and it really shakes him up. He started making discreet inquires as to what the phenomena may be, and found his way to me. I was able to supply him with a possible answer. I think he believes it, too!

"You know," he told me, "A couple of times at night when I was sitting in my backyard, I have heard a horrible sound of animals fighting from that direction. It's odd because the sound fluctuates like it is riding on the wind, first soft then very loud. Oh, and it's an awful sound, too! It's not the sound of cats or dogs fighting; it's far worse and terrible. It is the sound of very vicious animals snarling and gurgling, fighting to the death."

I guess they still brawl.

I confess that I have driven that road day and night all my life and I have never seen anything, but I assure you, there are plenty that have - and still do! - Frank F. Baugh

Date: February 18 1990 Time: 0745A

Teenager Dmitriy Milkin was ice fishing in the banks of the Ahtuba River when he was suddenly confronted by a globe-shaped object resembling two hemispheres placed together. The craft landed on three pods, a hatch opened in the lower section and a ladder was automatically released to the ground. Two tall aliens (more than 2 m in height) came out. He described them as having oblong faces, large eyes, and small mouth, dressed in metallic looking outfits. They wore small caps on their heads with two short antennas.

Via telepathy the aliens said, “You will fly with us”, clearly heard inside the witness' head. Apparently some kind of preliminary mental influence was “beamed” inside the teenager even before he noticed the UFO. The witness felt, as he was being treated indifferently by the aliens and felt somewhat inferior.

He was taken onboard and found himself in a round room about 8 m in diameter. There he saw control panels, buttons, screens and other equipment around. The room had 6 seats. He was told to sit in a single armchair made out of semi-transparent yellowish material. One of the pilots pressed a button, and a flight program was apparently inserted into the ship’s “computer”, he then heard a telepathic command: “Close your eyes and don’t be afraid, we will say when to open them again.” Then Milkin felt heaviness on his body, he partially opened his eyes and was stunned to see the hour pointer in his watched rotating faster than the minute pointer. The whole flight lasted only 40-45 seconds.

After the craft landed he went outside and was confronted by an alien landscape. There were two suns: the bigger star was of the orange color; the second sun was dark orange in color. The flora was dense and the trees were of unusually bright green color. The ground was sandy color, but not sand. The air was extremely fresh, uncommonly light and tasty. The gravitational pull was less than the earth. He saw several other crafts there, some looking like spheres others disc-shaped. He was accompanied to a 2-story building; light bluish in color, with some yellowish elements, of almost cubic shape, with a domed shaped roof and big glassy windows. He was then sat in a room where a meal was presented to him. Incredibly, the spoon had Russian markings on it. (!). The food resembled Jell-O and was tasty and sweet. Later he saw robotic creatures apparently used for domestic purposes. The aliens spoke among themselves in a tonal language.

He was told that: “He was not fit for their purpose because of your mental capabilities”. And he was returned back to earth.

One last stunning detail: The alien spacecraft was some sort of interstellar machine, since when they arrived to earth it apparently was in the distant future. The aliens asked him if he wanted to stay in this time, but he refused.

After the encounter Milkin mental capabilities apparently improved.

Location. Simferopol, Crimea, Ukraine
Date: Spring 1990 Time: early morning

The female witness, Natalya Shishkina was awakened by a strong sound, resembling that of a helicopter or tractor hovering over the small wooded house where she was sleeping, where she lived temporarily in her grandmother’s property. The sound was more like that of farm equipment but more muffled.

She looked out the window and saw a silver object, descending from the sky resembling a “big belly” barrel. The object gave off bright rainbow-colored lights. The barrel-shaped object landed softly on the ground.

Then a clicking sound was heard, and the witness suddenly went into a semi-sleep, semi-awake state. Nearby a small woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The woman was shorter than of average height, and was dressed in a silvery tight-fitting suit. She had very long hair, light brown in color. The strange woman seemed to change her appearance on several occasions. She had unusually large eyes, very kind and clever looking. They emanated much energy and kindness. Filled with emotion Natalya began to cry while she stared at the alien woman.

The alien woman then began to communicate with Natalya telepathically. Natalya asked where she was from; the answer was, “from the first planet beyond the Sun is where we live”. The woman further stated that only the blond entities lived there, that they were very kind and intelligent. They always had warm conditions on their planet, unlike the earth. They enjoyed their planet immensely and took care of it. All the dark shades or colors were absent on that planet (dark hair, etc).

After that the woman commented that it was very cold here but that it would get warmer in two days. Natalya asked the woman how they managed to fly by the sun without getting burned by its immense temperatures.

At this point she heard the clicking sound once more and heard the question, “Would you like to fly with us? But the alien woman then added quite ominously, “But for that to happen, you must die physically, according to your terrestrial notions. We have no one like you where we live, with dark hair, but you will feel good on our planet.” She added, “You will again become a human being on our planet”. Natalya agreed with her (!) and the alien woman began to caress her hair on the back, saying, “What beautiful hair” Natalya had tears in her eyes, but felt very good and calm, as if she was in the hands of a loving mother.

Natalya further understood that the aliens were very intelligent, full of wisdom and lacked greed or aggressiveness. But we have something, which they did not possess (it is not clear what). Soon Natalya thought about her mother and after that the clicking sound was heard in her head again, the alien woman then bade her goodbye and wished her well and hurried back to the landed UFO approaching the object in an unusually quick pace.

After she entered the object it began to rotate around its axis and vanished in plain sight. At this point Natalya seemed to snap out of a trance, her eyes were still wet, tears still streaming from her eyes. At first she thought it had been all a dream but soon realized that the event had been real.

The branches of a nearby plum tree appeared broken on top, near where the barrel had landed. Her brother sleeping in the next room had also heard the engine sound, but was unable to awake from a deep sleep.

Two days after the contact, the cold temperatures seemed to lift from the village and became very warm. Natalya’s hair acquired a beautiful appearance for a whole year without using any shampoos or conditioners. All of her acquaintances were amazed at her hair.

But her teeth began to fall out, and her immune system became weaker, as if she had been suffering from radiation poisoning. She also began to experience prophetic dreams.

MSTTopic: Abduction Reports

The Beginning: It's hard to really say when my story really began. There are dreams in my past that I feel may or may not to related. I will not bore you with those details. There are two things I must relate to you before I tell you about the night of the Visitors. All of these things transpired within a six-month period.

The Nightmare: Like most dreams, the nightmare was kind of stupid. The only reason I am reporting it is because it is most likely related because of the Buzzing sound I heard during the nightmare. In the Nightmare, I was hiding beneath the floorboards of a building somewhere. I could see the space above the floorboards through the cracks between the boards. Above the floor was an object that I remember being similar to an upright vacuum cleaner. On it's front side was a very bright light. It was searching for me, and I was hiding. It made a loud buzzing sound. The same sound I heard the night of the Visitors.

The Helicopter: I have been plagued off and on through out my life with sleepwalking. To me sleepwalking is semi-conscious, almost trance like state, other times I remember nothing at all. I have even hurt myself running in my sleep. Sleepwalking is a very bizarre experience. My memory of the night of the helicopter is rather blurred. I was in the familiar trance like state while a helicopter was flying extremely close to the house and shining its lights in the window. This also woke up my girlfriend. The really bizarre part of this incident was that I was crouched down near the floor, near the window, yelling at my girlfriend to get down. I was extremely afraid and very panicked. She later told me that I kept telling her that "They were going to get us". I do not remember how this episode ended.

The Night of the Visitors: A few months after the Helicopter incident I had the most bizarre experience of my life. It was May 2, 1992. I awoke; around 3 a.m. to some noise or activity outside my window. My first impression was that someone was messing with my car outside, however I did not get up to look out. I felt as though there was a crowd outside my window. I remember thinking that if I was quiet, and did not move, they would not know I was there. Fear set in. I knew it was "Them".

About this time I started to hear a very strange buzzing noise. (The same buzzing noise I heard in the nightmare.) It was very faint at first but grew louder with each passing second. It soon became very loud, almost loud enough to vibrate objects in the room. I continued to lie very still. My heart was beating very loud and my body was full of adrenaline. I was both absolutely terrified and totally in awe. I knew what was happening. As I lay on the bed, I watched the sky through the Venetian blinds.

They were open wide enough to see the outside sky very clearly. As the buzzing grew louder, I saw a triangle shaped craft slowly appear, turn, and head towards my house from the corner of the block. It had three lights. One up front, and two at the back to form a triangle. It reminded me of a helicopter without rotors. It continued in my direction until it was almost just past the window. It is here that the memory ends. I awoke nearly an hour and fifteen minutes later. Everything was back to normal. I have a small image in my memory of seeing this thing up close. Near one of it's lights. It was a dull flat black color with very little shine. It appeared to be held together by rivets.

I do very much feel that this was not a dream, as I was too full of adrenalin to be asleep. The event seemed too real.

Thank you Eric

In the last years we have been inundated with information pertaining to the "negative Greys." It is my contention that this information has been purposefully slanted. There have been many instances of healings that have never been revealed to the public. In this article I will tell you a few.

The most famous case we have in our files was related in a previous blog, The Helene Charbonneau case. Helene was healed of advanced pancreatic cancer as an adult by the "visitors."

Before that, as a little girl she was healed of tuberculosis of the spine. That took place in a Catholic shrine in Quebec. Who can really say who the perpetrator was. At the time she was 9 years old and walked with the aid of braces.

When she was healed a bolt of electricity went through her from head to toe causing her to jump up out of her seat. She knew she was completely well at that moment.

In 1985 Helene was in a car wreck where she broke some vertebrae in her back. The doctors inserted metal rods in her back. A chip of bone rested on her spine resulting in excruciating pain which could only be lessened by huge doses of pain killers. The pain killers caused another adverse condition. In 1989 Helene was again healed by her contacts. They also removed the bone chip.

Paris Colorado became very ill in 1984. X-rays could not determine the cause but the symptoms all pointed toward Gallstones. Finally the doctor decided to take his gallbladder out. When they took X-rays they found the scars from an operation on his stomach for ulcers! The doctor asked him when he was operated on and he said never! (that he remembered!)

His eyes were examined and they found scar tissue from an injury, one he was not aware of!

One of the Associate Directors in the UFOCCI in New Jersey was asked when she had her ear operated on. She never had.

A regular member of our group suffered from acute arthritis. During a contact experience a rod of "light" was shoved through her shoulder. Since that day the arthritis in her shoulder has disappeared.

In South America in the 50's a young girl was dying of cancer. The family were gathered around the bed waiting the final moment. All of a sudden several aliens came right through the window. They carried a strange instrument which they placed on the girls abdomen. When they did a light came on and you could see everything on the inside of the girl. One of the aliens gave five pills to the father and instructed him to give the girl one a day. The father followed the instructions and the girl was totally healed.

In Italy a few years ago a healing took place in a hospital which was observed on the monitor in the nurses station. A tape was made of three aliens coming into the hospital carrying an instrument. They wore light blue iridescent suits that looked like "fish scales." Light emitted from beneath their arms and between their legs.

They entered the room of a dying man who also had cancer. They ran the instrument up and down his body and he was completely healed.

This is probably the only case where a picture was taken of the aliens. This case was being written up by Wendelle Stevens. Perhaps he will tell us more about this case.

One of our abductees in Seattle had a huge lump in the hollow of her collarbone. It appeared to make her shoulder and arm go numb. Finally in desperation she submitted to a die test. Just going through this test resulted in convulsions, abnormal low temperature, then abnormally high temperature. As the instrument snaked through her arteries they found her artery was completely abnormal and went around her liver and curled back and around it where the doctor had never seen one before. In the artery was a solid object! All of the doctors in the hospital came rushing to observe this abnormality. At this point she felt she was going to die if she didn't get out of there. She demanded they remove the instrument stating she was leaving. They said no way can you get up off this table and leave. She did!

Who knows the reason for the object being placed in her artery and by whom? This case had so many physical anomalies.

Another person in our Seattle group had blood clots which broke off and entered the heart and lungs resulting in a near death experience. This was the fourth hospitalization. The percipient found himself above his body. The room filled with a blue light. He said, "I am not ready to go back." At that point he was back in his body. He was completely healed and all the blood clots were gone.

This was the second time the blue light came to him. The first time was when he decided there was nothing more to live for. He had started to go out the door to his car to end it all and the light appeared. After that he had a complete turn around in his thinking.

A lady that lives in Los Angeles told about an experience she had when she was 12 years old. She was born with a congenital heart defect. One side of her heart was huge and the other small. Her brother had died from the same condition. The doctors insisted she have an open heart surgery to correct the condition.

One night she had a dream that a man had came to her and did something to her chest to the point she felt like he was crushing her. The next morning she woke up with such pain she was rushed to the hospital. When she was X-rayed the heart was healed and totally normal.

Later when she was an adult she went to a chiropractor for an adjustment. He took X-rays and could see where surgery had been performed on her discs. He asked her when she had the surgery done and she said never! There was also a small scar on her lower spine she was not aware of until that time.

Viktor Kostrykin in Russia had a very bad heart which had given him problems over the years. When he was contacted and taken aboard a UFO one of the aliens came to him with black gloves on. He reached through his clothes and into his chest cavity and massaged his heart. Viktor screamed but when the alien withdrew his hand his heart was completely healed.

Another past member in our group had scars behind each ear. They are in the crease of the ear and look like her ears have been surgically removed. Now she wonders what caused the scars because on contemplating when she was 18 months old she had severe respiratory infections. The doctor decided to take tonsils out. She had an immediate recovery, no more infections. The location of the scars for biological engineering does not make sense. Now she wonders if the ETs did something to rectify her condition because there is no visible reason for the scars.

The above cases are just a few of the overall picture. I think we do not realize, nor can we understand, what the total picture about the Greys or aliens involve. Will we ever?

If anyone would like to be removed from my list I send the blog to please let me know.

Comments about yesterday's blog concerning the triangular marks on the back of the elbow.
_______
From Bill Hamilton:

Leenesa,
From the story: Stranger though is a mark on the back of my arm. It wasreally hard to get a picture of. Now, I don't recall missing time. Thismark hurt which is how I found it, and it was in an odd place, on theback of my forearm. I am including pictures here for you. It was veryhard to photograph and it has the shape of a perfect isosceles triangle.

From my book "Alien Magic": Gary had a drawing made illustrating the pertinent dimensions and angles on the broken windshield of highwaypatrolman Val Johnson's car that was shattered when he collided with aUFO. One particular triangle stood out and has appeared in other cases. It was an isosceles triangle with proportional dimensions of22-41-22. Gary also showed me a photo of the rear end of a car that was lifted off the ground on a highway in Missouri when it had a close encounter with a UFO. It had two indentations in the trunk that, together with the ornament on the trunk, formed an isosceles triangle of the same proportions. When you inscribe this triangle inside a circle with the apex at the circle's center, it produces a golden cut of the circle, or golden sector, which contains the ratio PHI(1.1618:1). Are these numbers and symbols a clue to Alien Magic?

If this person could measure the sides of the isosceles triangle and itis proportional to the 22-41-22 triangle, we can pin it down.This has significance.

From an "anonymous" experiencer

Talking about Strange Marks showing up on the body; I have had a bunch ...Scars & unexplained wounds I have a Black / Purple Thumb size mark on my back ( STILL THERE) the top skin is dry & apears to be dead..I..first noticed it after the 1 / 2 hr sighting in San Diego 3/6/96, 6:00pm to 6:30pm ...the one I call "BIG_RED". 100 ft wide ..it came down just above the Lakeside valley .. close to an airport but under the radar.. it was just above the tree tops for a half hour sighting.. I had missing time, somewhere between 6:30 and 9:00pm -- not sure... but didn't realize it till several years later when thinking back on the time my son arrived to return my car. The next day I saw the THUMB mark on my back in a mirror when it started to itch ..I looked back there..

A STRANGE thing happened on a trip from Sacramento California to San Diego. I was coming down the Grapevine into Los Angeles. I seemed to lose about 40 miles as I came to a commercial warehouse area next to the freeway. I saw a sign to my right that said "KNOTTS BERRY FARM". I was going about mph.. I looked up to my left, this was midnight, Thursday...June 13, 2002 ....I saw a Huge Triangle made up of THREE-BRIGHT - WHITE CIRCLES and green lights shooting out the bottom on both sides. The next day I had pain on my right elbow and when I touched it.. it was "gooey" and raw. All the top layer of skin was gone.

I WISH there were just "ONE" ET ( a Grey or Entity ..or their "BOSS", the one who sends them ...who would tell us the real reason they come to us..and why they do these things to us .Why they study and experiment on us, also why most remember some of the experiences ..and some don't remember "ANY"? I would really like to know if the Bigfoot or ( Sasquatch) or yeti is a early version of "US". ? I can "WONDER" till my brains fall out and not get an answer!

And now for the story of today:

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM, CAN WE MEASURE IT?
By Leneesa

In 1990 and 1991 the UFOCCI received articles from Mohammed _____ in Iran. The articles alluded to UFOs in the Quran. In Iran questioning the contents of the Quran is an offense punishable by incarceration or even death. To the Muslims, the Quran is not to be altered by one word. It is, for them, the direct word of God.

The UFOCCI published the articles in the Missing Link magazine we produced. We can only think this contributed to what happened to Mohammed.

In 1991, I received a call from Mohammed in Turkey. He was pleading for help. The Iranian secret police were trying to catch up with him. He asked me to help him. I suggested he go to the Japanese or American embassy. There was nothing I could do. I felt sorry. More than sorry, I felt utter helplessness knowing that something terrible was going to happen to him.
We didn't hear from Mohammed again. I thought he probably was dead. How were we to know? There was no way to find out.

In March of 1994, I moved to Texas and turned the UFOCCI over to Terry Burris. He carried on with meetings. Then on May 1, 1996, I moved back to the Seattle area. By this time I'd lost touch with what was happening in UFOlogy. I'd kept some contacts here with people who were involved in Terry's group. When I came back, I went to the meetings and met new members.
A member of the group, Eddie Melvin, was in Puerto Rico researching the chupacabra. When Eddie came back, we invited him to our meeting to speak on his experiences.

Several meetings later Eddie told me he had received a letter from Marilyn Childs. He told me he thought the letter was for me. The letter had been sent to Marilyn by Walt Andrus, the head of MUFON (at that time), with a note attached requesting it be sent to me as I had changed my address and the party who wrote the letter couldn't reach me. Marilyn gave it to Eddie whom I didn't know at the time. I don't know why she did that. Eddie decided to answer the letter, although he never opened it. He told me that he had received a letter from a man in Iran. I said I wondered if it was from my friend Mohammed.

Eddie sent me the letter. It was definitely from Mohammed. Following is what the letter said.

"It has been a long time since I contacted you last. This is due to the fact that I have been in jail from January 1991 until October 1995.

"Today I am so happy to have returned to my family and to freedom, having the chance to write this letter to you.

"I know this way of communication is a great risk for me but I wish to inform you that I want to continue my UFO research in Iran from now on. (There is punishment for this according to Islamic Laws.)

"However, I will be pleased to receive your membership card. It will be my pleasure to attend your seminars and UFO congresses.

"Looking forward to hearing from you."

Can we even imagine how it would be to not be free to write what we want? We're protected by the US Constitution, a stark contrast to the Iranian constitution. What we take for granted is something people in Iran can only dream about and risk their very lives for. I pray that Mohammed will be free in the future to do his research and not be oppressed.

Another example of government control was written by Paul Stonehill, who runs the Russian UFOlogy Research Center in Tarzana, California. Paul writes that there have been unprecedented attacks on UFO researchers in Russia. "Russian media gave the gruesome details about acts by religious fanatics from several different sects. In 1993-94, hoodlums who believe UFOs are 'messengers of God' attacked the Russian UFO Center and its employees on several occasions. The Russian information agency, Novosti, reported that UFOlogists have been threatened by telephone, huge numbers of defamatory leaflets, and offensive graffiti tagged on their homes and office buildings. Also reported by Novosti were attempts on UFOlogists' lives, including arson.

"Television reporters who cover UFO related news are also fair game. A. F. Myagchenkov, a well known TV personality and producer of a popular Russian TV program entitled Extra-NLO, has received many telephone threats. American producers who visited the bright young Myagchenkov found he was not silenced, but L. S. Makarova, who produced the popular TV program Unidentified Universe was brutally silenced. She was struck in the face with brass knuckles in Moscow, in broad daylight. She was so traumatized that she took her program off the air. The fanatics won that round.

"Threats have greatly affected the work of such prominent researchers of anomalous phenomena as cosmonaut Pavel Romanovich Popovich, academician V.P. Kaznacheyev, and engineer A. S. Kuzovkin. After appeals by the leaders of the city's UFO study groups, law enforcement in Moscow curtailed the terrorists to some extent, and sent some of the perpetrators to prison. Terrorists remained active in the provincial cities of Penza, Yekaterinburg, and Tver. In October 1995, scientist and UFOlogist A. Zolotov was murdered in Tver.

"Viktor Petrovich Kostrikin, (my friend!) a UFOlogist well known in Russia and abroad, was savagely beaten and his apartment was ransacked. The 70-year old researcher was at home on December 9, 1995, when two young men broke into his home at four o'clock in the afternoon. They beat him up methodically, and when there was nothing left to maim, the hoodlums tore apart his personal belongings. (He later died from this beating.)

"The Russian UFOlogy Research Center has been trying to find a well-known researcher from Vladivostok, Alexander Rempel. He was a fearless explorer, author, and publisher. Rempel and his colleagues have studied The Devil's Cemetery, the site of the Tunguska meteorite's fall in Siberia. His findings have been published in prominent Russian science magazines such as Tekhnika Molodezhi of Moscow. Rempel had excellent contacts among the Russian military in the Far East, and helped explore phenomena such as the Height 611 'crash.' He was one of the first to study the sinister cults that have recently mushroomed in Russia. Perhaps he found out too much; there has been no news of him since the end of 1994. His newspaper, Dzhentry, is no longer being published. What happened to his archives, his files, his unfinished work?

"Something is very wrong with a society where researchers of anomalous phenomena are attacked and terrorized. In the old days, it was the threat of the gulag that kept them silent. Today it is the terrorists that shut them up."

The next time you start to complain about America, think of these intrepid researchers who have risked all to enlighten the public and science. Would you do the same?

This article was written several years ago. I believe conditions in Russia have improved since the military have come out in the open about UFO sightings. As for Iran, I doubt it has changed much. I wish I knew what happened to my friend Mohammed. I did notice he was to speak at a conference in Brazil but when I read who attended his name was not on the list. Now what has happened to him!!! (I changed his name for his protection)

Brian, i have been meaning to write you. I had a couple of things to mention. No more visual sightings to report but something strange to share. I forgot to mention to you that my car battery was dead after one of these sightings. I remember running outside cause I thought I was going to drive out in the country and see this thing without the glare of the city lights. Then I remembered I had not charged my battery and that the car didn't start that morning. It was a brand new battery. I don't know if it is significant or not. Although car problems seem to occur when these events do.

Stranger though is a mark on the back of my arm. It was really hard to get a picture of. Now, I don't recall missing time. This mark hurt which is how I found it, and it was in an odd place, on the back of my forearm. I am including pictures here for you. It was very hard to photograph and it has the shape of a perfect isosceles triangle. It looked initially like a burn, yet it was almost a dry burn. It affected the entire area around it, only the corners seemed to be raised somewhat initially. The shadow of this image remains on my arm today. It is creepy. While wandering through your site last night, I saw the article you had from the Israeli UFO investigator who shows a nearly identical mark only on the left arm. This is almost identical to mine, different arm. In such a weird place. I wouldn't have noticed it at all in that location, although I had some pain there so I looked. I also had a severe headache for days after this. It was awful.

As far as my other experiences I have had several odd ones that stand out as those events that shaped me to become the person I am. And for whatever reason they seem connected to this phenomenon so many have experienced. So here it goes:

When I was little I was terrified of my windows, I wasn't sure why then. Several times I woke up and had dots of blood on my pillow and my nose hurt. I also remember a time when I was outside, and I looked down at my hand, It was bleeding and the skin looked like it was cut. I remember that some " little people around me" put a kind of rock in my hand and closed it up. I was upset and went in to my mom and said "you have to get it out". She saw very little blood and I have a scar on that wrist. I am 47 now. My mom has no idea what could have made such a scar and doesn't recall any accident I had then. But for the scar to remain, when many have come and gone over the years that have been significantly worse makes me realize it had to have been fairly significant at the time. Now, on to the other experiences.

My brother and I were avid star gazers. He had a telescope and I spent many nights outside stargazing and studying astronomy. I used to laugh though about UFO's. He said they were real, and I said he was nuts.

My grandfather taught me dowsing when I was little. I was a natural. At seven I had a major spiritual experience. Yes, seven! I became aware of psychic abilities and began having premonitions many of which have come to pass. I heard a voice inside, and that voice told me that life would be difficult for me at some points. But it also told me that I had chosen exactly that road, that path and that lifetime. I was told that I would not have any natural children. I told my mother that I was going to be a nun. I was going to adopt children from other countries. I just had a strong sense that somehow my life would involve a lot of spiritual challenges. My mother has the same psychic abilities although it scares her to talk of them. And now, I am noticing that my niece is next in line. I just think that all of this, the encounters, everything has a profound spiritual effect on people. And it seems that they have at times inherited "gifts" such as the gift of sight. At the same time though as a little girl I was very logical. Must be the Virgo traits I have.

When I was 19 I came home from MPLS. (I was at a Christian college and I was going to be a missionary) for a visit. That night I awoke to a bright light streaming into my room. It flooded the wall in front of my bed and the backyard. At that time my parents had just built a new home and the backyard had been a pasture and part of a farm. There were no neighbors at that time in the backyard area. I awoke to this sound of a mighty wind as it rushed over my body. I lay paralyzed and unable to move.

I tried to scream. I couldn't. I felt someone was trying to steal my soul. I was besieged by this feeling three times, what I remember most of that night is someone over me, with some kind of knife or some kind of instrument and the being had eyes, eyes that I will never forget and that I have since seen again in similar type of night sieges. These eyes were like deep pools of water, dark and disturbing and all knowing. These beings were able to communicate through psychic means. But I didn't think that this was related to extraterrestrials. I thought this was simply another one of my paranormal experiences. I thought maybe it was a demonic attempt to get at me. I had no framework to review this experience by other than the Christian one I grew up with.

It was not a good experience. It was very dark. I have been so traumatized by this and have feared talking about it for years. Years passed with no recurrence of this, until this last year at the time I had my sightings. At 19, after this experience I started to question my traditional Lutheran beliefs. I lost several close people in my life at the same time. One of my girlfriends and spiritual mentors was brutally murdered. My questions about God and where he was in all of this really overwhelmed me. At the same time, I noticed that my premonitions and psychic abilities were increasing. I started to explore explanations for this.

At the same time I had never learned how to control the steady streams of visions and sensations I grew up with because my mom has always been afraid to talk about her own experiences. I converted to Catholicism. I studied all kinds of religion and spirituality, native traditions, Wicca, on and on. I discovered that I was able to read tarot as if I had read it before. I paid close attention to my dreams and visions. I wrote them down. Many of them have come to pass.

My grandfather died when I was twenty. Prior to his death I was at school. I remember standing on the staircase and I saw him in a hospital bed. One of my friends asked me what was wrong and I said I have to leave. I got my stuff, got a taxi and took a bus to the hospital two hours away. I walked through that hospital door and my mom almost fainted. How did you know to come here? I told her and she nodded at me with that look of understanding and hugged me. She said she didn't want to burden me away at college. My grandfather died a day later. I have had so many events like this happen since then and really was led into the helping professions as a result.

A few years later, I moved to Los Angeles. I worked with the abused alot of time. One day, an unusual visitor, a man showed up on my doorstep. He said that he had seen my card at a local store for readings, but he didn't want a reading. He simply wanted to tell me something he thought I needed to know at that time. He said, "you are on the right track and more will be shared with you when you need to know it."

I know he talked to me for over an hour, but I only remember the first two minutes, and try as I wanted I could not remember his name. He said he was from Sedona, AZ, weird, very weird. Kind of like your government guy only this guy wasn't in a suit. In some ways he didn't even seem human to me. He didn't seem to have any kind of personality and was very robotic.

It was at this time that Whitley Strieber published Communion with that eerie picture of a gray alien on the cover. I could not even pick the book up. I would walk to a different check out. Finally, I forced myself to confront the fear I felt over this picture and I bought the book. I thought it was a ghost story! Well the topic, was extraterrestrials and as he described his paralysis I noted the similarities to mine, but still, I thought he was a little eccentric. It seemed too weird to me, but at the same time it hit a nerve.

A few years later, I returned to Wisconsin. I met up with an old friend from school. He was on a spiritual quest as well. He was a scientologist. We were watching a show on TV or a video, I am not sure. I think it was called UFO's are real. I now know that it was done by Stanton Friedman. Across the screen flashed the name and date Colfax, WI 1979 I think. It seemed to correspond to the date and time of my night siege of terror. That shook me up. Another coincidence? How many can there be? Following that I had another experience.

I was working as a counselor at a local halfway house when I first moved back here from CA.. I had this dream and in it was a young woman I had been counseling. We were taken in my dream into a craft and they did surgery of some kind on us. The craft landed in the front yard of the facility. I thought, how odd nobody else sees this thing. I remember this Being in white, her eyes, pools of what seemed to be tears, and she was telepathically sending me messages. Many of them had to do with catastrophic earth changes and the same theme, you will know more when you need to know it.

I dismissed it as another weird experience. I went to work the next day. It was lunch. Staff ate lunch with the residents of the facility. As conversation passed this young girl who was a resident and one of my patients at the time said out loud "I had the strangest "dream" last night, a UFO landed in our front yard and took us in it, and operated on us. I almost fainted. Coincidence, hmm, you decide. At the same time I developed a terrible fear of owls, yes owls that has remained with me today.

Brian, the list goes on and on, and now this mark. I don't understand any of it. But I really would like to understand it more.

I haven't decided if this is a good or bad presence we deal with yet, and/or why? I do feel that there is an agenda of some sort kind behind this though. And it has to do with our earth, our future as the human race and our spiritual struggle. I expect that if I paid attention I would see, and probably paid attention I might see a lot of things I ignore. Frankly I am kind of afraid to look outside and stargaze after this last episode and this mark. But I am submitting this because I think we all need to talk about it and perhaps amongst all of us some ideas and truths will emerge.

I tried to put a tape measure to it, but alone I could not do it and I wasn't going to run over and ask my neighbor as you can imagine why. But this mark measured about 1 inch. Take care and God bless.

Thank you to the person for sharing this experience with us all.

Hi Brian,

I have been compelled to write you after reading some of the abduction stories on your site. The story "Unusual Markings Show Up On Israeli UFO Investigator" struck a chord with me, as well as a few others. A month ago, I had the same type of marks show up on my left elbow. They were almost in the exact same place as shown in the picture of the Israeli UFO Investigator. There were three small raised dots that formed an isosceles triangle.

They lasted for about a month. In the mean time, I've had plenty of mosquito, ant and chigger bites come and go. (I spend a lot of time outdoors.) All but one of the dots has healed, but there are little freckles where the other dots had been. I would probably just brush this off as coincidence if it wasn't for the fact that I've had several abduction dreams over the last few years. One occurred last month around the time these marks appeared.

Let me give you some background on the dreams. These dreams I've had involving aliens are very vivid. Unlike most dreams I have, the normal ones which quickly fade away as the day goes by, I can remember these "alien encounter" dreams as if they were actual real life events. One happened years ago but I can recall it as if it "happened" yesterday. I guess what I am getting at is these dreams don't seem like dreams at all. They are almost more vivid than things that "really" happened a few days ago.

Dream #1 (2 years ago, 6/02)

I was at a beach house with several people. It was dark out, the night was clear. While looking at the waves from a screened porch I saw a golden orb the size of a car fly into my field of view. It came from out in the darkness of the ocean to my left, maybe 500 feet over the water. It came about 100 yards from shore, swooping down about 10 feet above the waves. I remember seeing the golden light reflecting on the water. It took off to my right, back out into the darkness without a sound. I remember thinking how graceful an arc the craft had just taken and how it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen.

Next, I heard the sound of someone excited/surprised coming from outside. I opened the screen door and stepped down three wooden steps. I saw a friend (not sure who) and a "tall blonde", 5 feet tall, skinny, possibly silver clothes, whitish skin with big black eyes. I felt the need to communicate. I had my hands down by my side, palms facing forward in the least threatening posture, showing my hands were empty. I didn't want them to harm my friend and wanted them to know we were friendly and curious. Next thing I know, I was laying on my back in the grass. I don't know how I went from standing to laying down. I couldn't move but I wasn't scared. I remember the alien looking over me, his face was only about a foot from mine. He looked peaceful and interested. When I awoke, I was amazed. I wasn't scared, it was more like a WOW! feeling, butterflies in my stomach etc... It has been two years and I still remember it like it was yesterday. I just wrote this quickly off the top of my head.

(One thing I've noticed from this and other dreams is that aliens smell very strange. It is hard to put a smell into words, but I'll try... repulsive, acidic, musky, overwhelming. I did not like it at all. It is nothing like I have ever smelled, so it is hard to compare it to something else. Why do I remember smells from a "dream"?)

Dream #2 (6 months ago, 1/04)

I was outside next to my apartment. I looked up in the sky to see a geometric craft, roughly triangular, with the top of the craft having strange "stealth bomber" geometry. The craft was mostly white, maybe a silver underside. The skin of the craft was very detailed. It descended to 10 feet over me. It then proceeded to beam a bright light down onto the top of my head. It got very hot, but not a burning sensation, more electrical. I was starting to panic when something calmed me down and reassured me I would not be harmed. Everything became pure white and I woke up. My alarm had gone off but I slept through it. Very unusual for me. The next day I went outside to the spot were the event happened. I'd never stood in that spot before but the view was exactly what I'd seen in my dream. I got a little freaked.

Dream #3 & #4 (6 months ago, 12/03)

Twice within a few weeks I had choking dreams. The first woke me up in the middle of the night a little panicked. It felt like I'd had something down my throat. After a glass of water I was back in bed and didn't think much of it. A week later I woke up choking. Again I felt like I'd had tubes down my throat. My throat was raw and it was hard to swallow. My heart was beating out of my chest. I was scared to death of something in my apartment, more scared than I can ever remember being. (I'm not the type of person who scares easily.) It took a good 10 minutes to get the courage to get out of bed. I finally went into the bathroom to get some water. I could barely bring myself to turn on the light, in fear that something would be looking over my shoulder. After I got the bathroom light on, I started to calm down, but was still quite shaken. I am not sure what I was so scared of, all I can remember is a quick flash of a weird blank face. (I just got chills when I typed that.)

Dream #5 (last month about the time the mark appeared, 5/04)

Me, my mother and grandmother were on a dock that was on a small lake. It was almost totally dark outside, but clear with stars. I looked up and saw a redish/whitish UFO a few hundred feet above. It was morphing, changing shape but would always return to being a round sphere inside a circular ring. We made some comments about it, like "Is that what I think it is?", etc... Then I noticed two or three creatures coming towards us down the dock. They were three feet tall, almost as wide as they were high, with dark robe-like clothes and dark mask-like faces. They were trying to grab us with stubby fingers. I kicked a few into the lake. They didn't seem to like the water. I felt bad, but they shouldn't scare people like that. Everything else after this is unclear, but we were possibly taken somewhere by these creeps. When I awoke, I had slept through my alarm and was almost late for work.

Dream #6 (last week 6/04)

This one is a little vague, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I had been taken somewhere (a white foggy room?) and many people or beings were teaching me things. They were telling me I was on some kind of mission or assignment. It was important and a little creepy, as if I didn't totally agree with their purpose, but understood that it was necessary. There was something else that was to be revealed to me at a later date. I had many questions, I wanted to know more, but they only told me what they wanted me to know. Like I said, all this is kind of vague. This wasn't nearly as vivid as the other dreams, but I did wake intensely curious as to what I was told. I am frustrated that I can't remember more.

One last thing I'd like to add...

I have seen a UFO outside of my dreams. I was driving my car to work one morning about 9 months ago. I looked up to see a silver orb moving slowly over the top of a thunderhead. It was not a plane, as I saw about five planes that morning. It was silver, oval shaped, and not moving fast enough to be a winged craft. It was about at 15,000 feet and was bigger than a DC-10. It was heading slowly north then changed and headed slowly south. The sighting lasted about 30 seconds before it vanished behind the clouds. Since the sighting didn't last long, I can't say for sure what I had seen, but it wasn't a plane or a balloon.

I don't know if all this amounts to anything or if I just have an over-active imagination. Thanks for listening. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

Thank you to the person for the report.

She doesn't know why she was chosen or what it means, and she knows it is hard for others to believe. But she believes. The reporter went over her story word by word. He read parts of it back to her incorrectly, hoping to trip her up. But it didn't work. She believes it, or she is a well-rehearsed liar, he told her. She shrugged.

Think what you want, she said, I believe it.

She says she was abducted by an unidentified flying object on 151st Avenue Northeast, just north of Southeast 176th Street, Renton, at about 11:40 p.m., Tuesday, February 10. Her abductor said, "You will see us again."

Her name begins with K, but because she doesn't want to lose her job, we won't use it. We'll call her Kathy. She is a 25-year-old "health professional." She doesn't want her specific profession revealed either, married about two years.

A college graduate with a 3.7 grade point average. She is telling her story because she thinks others have been contacted by extraterrestrials, but are afraid to come forward with their stories.

HERE IS HER STORY

She was driving home from work the night of Feb. 10. She came off the Valley Freeway and started up Petrovitsky Road, passing Valley General Hospital at 11:35 p.m. She drove on, a song by Earth, Wind and Fire came on the radio. About an eighth of a mile west of the intersection of Southeast 176th -- as that stretch of Petrovitsky Road is called -- and 151st Southeast, she approached the crest of a small hill. Just before she reached it a dark-colored sports car with two vertical headlights and a loud engine passed her and roared on ahead through the intersection. She came to the crest of the hill, she saw the UFO.

It was a horizontal ring of red and blue lights, flashing from left to right in an apparent sequence. It was about 75 to 100 feet in diameter and hovered above a grove of trees at the Southeast corner of the intersection.

Curious, she slowed down and drove on for about 30 seconds, looking at the lights. When she reached the intersection, she turned left onto 151st putting the UFO behind her.

DROVE HOME

She drove a short way down 151st, and turned left into the parking lot of her apartment building. She parked her car and looked toward the UFO. It was not there. She then looked to the left and saw another UFO. It was a cluster of red and blue lights, about 25 feet in diameter. It hovered about 100 to 150 feet off the ground, across the street about 200 feet from her car.
She thought, "If this moves or drops, I'm getting out of here."

Then it began to move; dropping in a falling leaf motion to an altitude of about 20 to 50 feet. It stopped and started coming toward her.

Frightened, she got out of the car to head for her front door. She noticed her headlights were still on, got back in the car, closed the door and turned off the lights. And sometime, probably when she got out of the car for the first time, she believes she was abducted.

Consciously, she only remembers that after turning off her headlights, she left her car and ran for her front door 75 feet away. When she reached it, the UFO was gone.

HYPNOSIS SESSIONS

The next day, Kathy contacted the UFO Contact Center to report her experience. They came to interview her February 13 and asked Kathy if she would be interested in undergoing hypnosis, to find out if she had experiences she didn't remember.

In a series of four hypnosis sessions, she revealed that as she sat in the car, it suddenly was filled with a bright, white light. The next thing she knew, she was standing in a dome-like room, about 15 feet wide, with white, very smooth floors, walls and ceilings. An arched doorway was in front of her. A desk-sized white box with "zillions" of colored lights on a dark field was in front of her. A long white table perched on a single pedestal was behind her.

She stood there, "calm, but kind of bewildered," and absently reached to unbutton the collar of her dress. The next thing she knew, the garment was at her feet.

Two beings came through the door. They were about 4 feet 8 inches to 5 feet tall, with thin upper bodies, long, sloping shoulders and arms that hung to about their knees. They seemed unable to straighten their arms completely, she said.

They had four, very long fingers. Their heads were shaped rather like a light bulb and they had large, wide-open eyes. Their noses were very small, just a ridge; they had slits for mouths and small holes with a slight skin flap for ears. Their skin was gray-white and very cool.

ALL IN UNIFORMS

They were dressed from neck to toe in blue-gray metallic fabric. On the upper left chest of their uniforms they had an insignia, an isosceles triangle inside a white circle. They took her by the upper arms and guided her to the table.

"The whole thing seemed to go like clockwork," she said. "I got on the table and they gently pushed me down. I wasn't frightened. I had no real thoughts."

She sensed a third person in the room. He was like the other two, but wore a red-orange uniform with a black stripe around the neckline. He put a silver, mallet-like object to his eye and then placed the other end on her abdomen. He moved it around a bit and then left. He came back a short time later and the three beings stood around the table.

"What is the purpose of this?" she thought. "You are progressing physically and mentally as planned and are very receptive to us," they responded by telepathy. They added that they were pleased with what her father had taught her and then told her she must go.

"I didn't want to," she said, "But they assisted me off the table. I put my dress on; they said, 'You will see us again' and the next thing I knew I was back in my car."

She has no strong opinions about who her abductors were, but thinks they are probably creatures with higher intelligence who traveled to earth from a different galaxy. She found out why she might have been chosen when she called her father after the hypnosis sessions.
"He cried," she said. "He never told me before, but he has had four encounters with the same people."

The witness (involved in previous encounters) woke up Saturday night to see a cloaked being standing in the center of his bedroom. It had the same shape as the short fly-head/mantis being (but he could not be certain). He heard a "popping" sound and the being quickly disappeared.

On Sunday night the witness (involved in previous encounters) woke up to see two tall praying mantis type beings standing in the middle of his bedroom. They looked as if they were engaged in a conversation, making high-pitched (almost digital) clicking sounds at each other. The witness was too tired to be afraid so he just concentrated on making a mental description, cross checking it with the ones he'd seen before. Both were extremely thin and tall, well over seven feet high. One was slightly taller than the other. Their necks were long, flexible and tube-like and didn't look strong enough to support their triangular heads. The neck and the head moved in a way that reminded the witness of the old-stop motion monster films or like a lizard. Both were wearing long black robes that again looked like liquid oil. On the side of the face he could clearly see a small round hole just below their eyes. He felt completely drained and couldn't move. He then slipped back into unconsciousness.

Late at night Gonzalo Rodriguez heard strange noises and a ruckus coming from the henhouse on his property---a commotion that was far from being normal. He decided to send his son to check with a flashlight to make sure thieves weren't at work. The youth obeyed his father and flashlight in hand approached the large henhouse stealthily, becoming terrified upon seeing a strange black animal, standing some 40cm, tall and resembling a small dog with a long tail and standing on two legs. He recalls, among what little he was able to see through the flashlight's beam, that the animal had a very long tongue. Upon seeing the light, the creature fled into the vegetation, skillfully leaping over a wall. An inspection of the henhouse revealed that 20 hens had been slain. Police authorities of the nearby town of San Ramon were notified and officer Marcos Hernandez reported to the scene to corroborate not only Gonzalo Rodriguez's account, but also the testimony of frightened neighbors. The birds were whole and the only sign of damage to them were the two small orifices on their backs, through which it is presumed that the strange assailant drove its fangs to remove or suck the blood. Several days before several dead sheep had been found with the same characteristics; twin puncture marks on their necks or back and not a single drop of blood.

Jason McIntosh and two friends were stopped at the end of a road to watch a light in the sky when one of the girls pointed out some orange lights moving in a field. To their left in a fenced yard they saw an image of two people in white "dancing". About 20 minutes later the car was filled with green glowing lights moving around at high speed. They could feel massive charges of static electricity and one of the girls got out and wanted to see the aliens. She came back to the car saying that she had seen strange little men. At the same time the others felt sensations of a craft flying slowly overhead and felt downdrafts of air. Then they saw a bright white light above the house in the field and occasionally smaller lights shooting into it from the sky. They could also see a group of figures in white standing in front of a house. One of the girls and Jason walked up the path to investigate and they stood 15 ft from them and Jason waved at one and it waved back. Suddenly they had an overwhelming sense of danger and went back to the car. Soon they could see gray colored creatures, 4 ft tall leaning in the passenger window. They then drove to the end of a driveway then drove back to the front. They could see that from where the strangers in white were standing what appeared to be large black charges of electricity were being pushed up towards the white light in the sky. Then a big black fog came in and left. The creatures were gone but the little green lights stayed in the car for 2 or 3 hours afterwards.

In a dream-like state the witness suddenly found himself in a black void, totally conscious. Then 6 round bright lights appeared and illuminated the darkness around him, he could see blinding white light, which did not blind his eyes. He then heard a voice that told him that, "Time has come my child, and I am going to take you home soon." That's all it said then the blackness and the bright light was gone and the witness could now see the creature that had apparently spoke. He could not clearly make out what it looked like but he could see it, he could remember that it was not short and it had bigger eyes, looking almost human. That's all he could remember after the creature looked at him, he felt being sucked backwards at amazing speed, he could see what appeared to be stars whizzing by and huge planets and then he saw what appeared to be the Earth, he went head first through the sky, falling, headed towards his state and then his town and then finally towards his house and then into his bedroom. Upon arriving at his bedroom he heard a "boom" inside his head and he woke up, all in an instant.

A 17-year old motorist traveling almost 10 miles north of Aurora Indiana on Saturday night claims to have encountered an unusual figure on the road. While driving his black Chevrolet Cavalier Southbound along North Hogan Road a "figure" was spotted in the headlights of the automobile as it was crouched down near a puddle of water. From the driver's perspective the figure was spotted out the windshield on the right of the car. After passing the frail-looking figure, the driver looked into his rear view mirror and again observed---illuminated by the taillights of his car---what he described as a tall, abnormal figure that moved strangely with pointed joints that "buckled out". He estimated the figure stood around 6 feet, seven inches. "It had protruding joints and moved very strangely." The driver said he was able to ascertain the figure, alleged to be dark gray or black and "pencil thin" stand up and take several steps toward the woods along the roadside. The figure definitely walked on two legs and was thought somehow, to be a male, although no clothing was noted. No face or eyes could be seen, but the witness had the impression that the figure was looking straight at him. The figure was immediately thought to be something out of the ordinary, not a human being.

The duration of the sighting was "hurried" and possibly within the 3 to 4 second range. The driver continued on for a small distance after passing the figure and finally put on his brakes, coming to a stop at an estimated 2 minute walking distance on the road from the location of the sighting. He looked back to further observe the entity. At that point, a second car came into view and approached from the opposite direction, passed and then reached the spot on the road where the figure was thought to be. The 17-year old motorist reportedly watched closely and observed the second car undertake what he thought to be an evasive maneuver near the vicinity of where he thought the figure would be situated, then the car turned around at that spot and shortly pulled up behind him, somewhat in the grass. There was an elderly couple in the car, both in their late 60s or early 70s and both with gray hair. The driver, who wore glasses said, "Boy, did you see something back there? I'll tell you right now, that was no person." The passenger, an elderly female said, "It was no human being. It was no man." The elderly couple were reportedly "spooked" but offered to follow the first witness the remainder of the trip down North Hogan Road, clearly in the opposite direction of their intended destination route. It was thought that the elderly couple observed this same figure on the opposite side of the road, and possibly had observed it more closely.

Later, the 17-year old witness was said to have become hysterical, and within an hour was describing the figure as an "alien".

In the middle of the night the witness, Jim, (involved in previous encounters) suddenly found himself wide-awake. A loud buzzing sound filled his ears. He was curled up on his bed in a fetal position facing the closest wall. He felt a force push on the back of his head. It did not hurt but felt extremely uncomfortable. Again he heard the now familiar "clicking" sound in his head. This time it panned from his right ear to the left. He looked at his arm and it was covered in a bluish purplish pulsating energy. He could not move his legs and arms; he could just move his head.

Somehow he managed to break free and used all his effort to turn around. Standing before him in the center of the bedroom was some kind of short humanoid creature, with a large mantis/fly looking head. A beam of energy seemed to be shooting from the alien to the witness. Thousands of thoughts entered his head at the same time. Strangely he felt no fear and felt as he had known the strange being all his life, but also felt that he had been somehow manipulated into feeling this. He then heard a slow deep voice, almost overwriting all his other thoughts. It seemed to be communicating telepathically. It said in an abrupt manner, "Now do you understand?" "Yes" the witness found himself answering, but he had no idea why he said that. "Good" It replied. The witness then turned his head back to the wall and shut his eyes. The buzzing sound stopped and he felt extremely tired. He then collapsed and lost consciousness.

He described the creature as humanoid, 5 ft 5 inches in height. Its head was huge in relation to its body. Its eyes were extremely large, shiny, and insect-like and were supported by big sockets. His first impression was that it looked like a cross between a praying mantis and a fly.

The being appeared to be surrounded by a bluish purplish field of energy. In the center of its cloak was a golden badge, there was definitely a design or symbol on it, but the witness could not make it out. He looked closer at the head and it had two protrusions between the eyes and a mass of protrusions was in the area where a mouth would normally be.

The witness woke up the next day feeling very tired.

Virginia and her husband had retired and purchased a home near the Maryland coast, the house was 85 years old and needed some major repairs. Most of the repairs involved an interior facelift. A small room with an old desk and empty file cabinets on the second floor of the two story home was slated to become a part of a larger room next to it with the removal of a wall. Some old suitcases, empty packing crates and other debris had been left in there as well.

With contractor work scheduled to begin within a few days, Virginia, her husband and two friends went to work removing everything from the small room. They moved the desk and file cabinets out first, and then began bundling up the old suitcases and various pieces of debris left in the corners, of the small room. While the four worked, Virginia began to feel a bit sick to her stomach. Her husband and friends complained of similar feelings over the next few moments.

Before any of them had time to consider their sudden, unexplained illness, an odd green mist filled one corner of the room. As all present were focused on the green mist, they could see a human form taking shape. It looked like a man dressed in what all agreed later was a sailor's white uniform. It did not appear to be a modern uniform, but one that might have been worn 50 or 60 years ago. None were familiar with Naval uniforms, but the group came to this conclusion after viewing photos of US sailors from the 40's. Within seconds, the man became solid and started to move a bit.

Virginia's husband had been an electrician for years before he retired and noted that he smelled the odor of over-heated circuitry in conjunction with the sailor's appearing. Before anyone could say or do anything, the sailor looked at the group and said, "2005. Watch out for 2005! They're playing with your future!" (Boy isn't that the truth!) After that, the sailor faded into the wall and the green mist dissipated in less than ten seconds. All agreed later that they had heard his voice and everyone heard the same thing. They described the sailor's voice as deep and full, but sounding a bit muffled.

77-year old Mrs. K J woke up late at night and went to the lavatory and back to her bedroom, as she passed through the kitchen she was surprised to see a strong flame-orange light, which floated in the sky. She quickly realized that it couldn't be the moon. The light had the shape of a hemisphere, the upper part was rounded and its bottom was flat. The light was 2-3 times bigger than the full moon.

The witness states that the light hung above the forest over Hajdowka hill, which was 1.5 km from her house. She watched for about 5 minutes and felt dizzy and then she went to bed.

During the night she had a disturbing "dream" about a strange meeting with a huge shiny "thing". She awoke feeling very frightened around 0630A.

To her left she saw a "thing" running very fast about 30 yards away from her, not comprehending what she was seeing, she could only describe the entity as looking like a "stick man." It seemed to turn its head over his left shoulder and look straight at her, and then it took off in a sprint towards her front door. Very upset the witness ran inside and locked all the doors. It took her 2 hours to calm down; she began to sob so hard that she started to hyperventilate. She never told anyone, including her family about what she had seen. She felt that the "thing" wanted her to see it, for some unknown reason

26-year old Liliana Nievas was sitting in her patio with her boyfriend when suddenly several "cascotazos" (a sort of rock or brick abundant in the area) fell on the two apparently coming from an area behind the patio. Liliana went alone to investigate when she came upon a short dark "man", which began to pummel her and attempted to drag her away. She could only describe the entity as short, dark and shadowy, which covered her mouth and began to drag her on the ground. Hearing her screams, several neighbors, family members, and her boyfriend ran to find the woman lying on the ground suffering facial injuries. She kept screaming that "he is trying to drag me away" as the astounded group watched as a mysterious force indeed seemed to pull her away, however they did not see anybody. Finally with the help of her boyfriend and others they managed to hold Liliana down and the force seemed to release her. She was taken to a local hospital suffering from grievous injuries.

Others in the area reported being pelted by bricks and another witness reported seeing a shadowy entity stealing fruit from his backyard.

Emily Parkinson was lying in bed when a bright white light suddenly was reflected in her mirror. Instantly she sat up terrified and went to the window to see whether it was her husband coming home. She then saw a figure of approximately 6 ft in height standing on her lawn. It seemed to have a huge eye on its stomach (?) resembling huge black circles that seemed to pierce the witness head with an incredibly high-pitched sound. She was fixed to the spot with terror, as the strange creature seemed to slowly dissolve from view.

Several local inhabitants reported hearing a very loud booming noise over the area and what appeared to be a metallic object falling into the beach area. For a while they did not approach the supposed crash site because of fear. However others reported that the object was huge and disc-shaped, apparently metallic, without windows or wings. Soon after the "crash" members of the Mexican Territorial Army cordoned off the area and warned local inhabitants not to approach the area. Others have reported seeing similar disc-shaped craft flying at a high altitude over the area.

Constable Jagdish Parishad who on Thursday was keeping vigil on the international border had seen a flying object like a hot air balloon carrying three persons who disembarked after landing in Pakistani territory.

Since the constable had never seen a para-glider, fan glider or even a hot air balloon during his service tenure, it is difficult to ascertain the authenticity of the matter.

Just prior to the UFO sighting Pakistani troops backed
by helicopter gunships and artillery detained 20 people in raids against suspected Al-Qaeda hideouts in a tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

On a very cold night, the witness, Marina was in her room reading a book when she heard loud scratching noises on her window. Startled she looked at the window and saw a bizarre entity with a very large head and strange red eyes. The entity stared at Marina and mumbled some words, which Marina thought it meant for her to come and open the window because he wanted to talk to her. In a trance-like state she opened the window and the entity then spoke the following words, "Humans less and less value their planet, and each day that goes by they destroy the planet a little more, humans do not realize that they are destroying themselves also."

Location. Monte Maiz, Cordoba, Argentina
Date: March 2004 Time: various

A silhouette of a man who walks on rooftops, drags heavy chains and makes strange noises turned into a disquieting "phantom" that has made residents of Monte Maiz restless. Opinions on the "phantom" are diametrically opposed, since some claim having seen "a figure standing over 2 meters tall, dressed in black and with spectacular agility" while others say its all imagination. The local residents call it "the phantom". Those who have seen it say that it is a young person, very tall and slim, with red eye. It dresses in white, sometimes black and others gray. Always wears a hat and covers its face with a mask or hood.

The sounds on the rooftops begin after 2100 hours, as do the calls to the police. Residents claim that it walks on the roof, shuffles and runs, drags chains, scratches at windows and bangs at doors. It doesn't speak or yell---it has only been heard to laugh in the dark or whistle, some claim having heard it imitate the howling of a dog. Locals say that it runs swiftly and jumps over barbed wire fencing and walls without touching them, according to concerned neighbors. Some eyewitness accounts follow:

Ivana Molina had gone out to her yard and saw a man dancing, whistling and slapping his hands. The neighbors heard similar noises. The next day, she went out and the same man tried to grab her. She ran into the house and phoned the police. It then banged on her bathroom window and wrote "mueres" (you'll die) with its finger.

Oscar Gonzalez reported standing in the yard when he saw a shadow walking along. He could see its red eyes. He then went out with another fellow to find it and the "phantom" jumped the neighbor's yard. It was dressed in white. The following day it whistled at the men again. They went out to chase it and it vanished.

Veronica Bertrando reported that her husband saw it as it crossed the patio; he said it was dressed in gray with a hood over its head. When it went by the dog >barked, her husband then went outside and it took off running. He searched for it but could not find it.

Local police offered the following additional details on the stranger (or strangers?), 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall, dresses in black, a white face (possibly a mask) wears a black hat, its movements are generally silent and possesses extreme agility, it jumps over fences, walls and climbs up trees with ease. It normally appears between 2130 to 0300 hours

A sort of "inner voice" told the witness to get his camera and go outside. He waited for about 5 minutes then a bright white light shone on his eyes and then he saw three disc-shaped craft surrounding a large cigar-shaped object maneuvering overhead. The discs kept circling around the cigar. He took three photographs then he was again illuminated by a bright white light and suddenly found himself on his bed the next morning. He suffered from nosebleeds after the incident and had strange lucid "dreams" of seeing a little "black man" who enters his bedroom and tells him that they are taking him. He remembers running and then being shot in the arm by a laser-like light. He woke up the next morning shivering and with his arm sore

Steven Nicklin and a friend were walking across Northicote Farm near an old Tudor farmhouse when both men saw a humanoid grayish figure with a human-type head standing on a tree, which formed part of the many trees that bordered the farm, these were tall pine trees, and the figure stood on the top branches. They estimated the size of the figure as being about 2.1 meters in height. It had two legs and two arms connected to membrane-type wings. Its clawed hands seemed connected to the wings, somehow resembling a pterosaur. It moved its head and looked directly at the witnesses, since the moon was full and there was a streetlight not far away. It turned its head from the witnesses and then took one giant leap and glided to the next tree. The tree bent under the creature's weight as it took the impact. It then turned its head to look at them once more. Its gaze felt that "it could look into their very being (soul)". Both men felt quite scared and both fled the area quickly. The men said that it was a creature they had never seen before nor wanted to see again.

The witness was on his paper route and was driving at about 25-30 mph when he saw a real bright light in the sky about the size of the moon. He pulled up to the side to catch a better glimpse of the object. About 1 minute passed when all of the sudden it disappeared. Then after 10 seconds of dead silence a round bright object landed right in front of the witness. It was circular and glowed very brightly. It was probably about 25 ft in height and about 100 ft in diameter. Stunned the witness heard a voice as if someone was talking to him gently in his ear. He looked around and did not see anybody. All of the sudden the craft didn't glow anymore and on the side of the craft it said, "future". The voice then said, "nobody else can see this but you, we are from the future, you are a representative now of the future for this mass (sic), please lead or there will be dire consequences." The voice talked very slowly and clearly in perfect English. He still couldn't see anybody but after the voice stopped talking he shouted, "who the hell are you"! And then everything disappeared. After about 10 minutes of reflecting on what had occurred, the witness drove home.

The cat walked out of the bedroom through the closed door, but feeling very tired Wiktoria went to sleep. That same night she had a strange "dream" about her cat. She woke up feeling the cat's hot body on her legs. At the same time she sensed and heard strange voices and music. Three separate voices were discussing something, speaking in a strange language. The music resembled classical music, very similar to the Mozart symphonies, but it was definitely not a Mozart composition. Afraid, Wiktoria turned the lamp on. The voices and the music then slowly faded away. She was unable to sleep the rest of the night.

The witness, M N, was driving eastward on Wellington Street on the southeastern end of Lake Superior and as he came to the central part of the city (known to locals of the Lake Superior region as Soo, Canada). He noticed a straight beam of light hovering in the early morning sky, from the top of the hill that was on his northern side. His vehicle came to a complete stop at a cross street and he looked all the way down to the end of the street (about 7 blocks away) because the street ended at the base of the hill and has a metal stairwell leading to McDonald Avenue. Although being 7 blocks away his eyes were able to focus on a little dark figure that was standing very still. This caught his curiosity as he slowly drove towards it, and then started moving from side to side using fluid movements as if it >was hovering in mid-air. It moved as if it was confused, or afraid and didn't know what to do. As he got closer, the figure's appearance seemed to have metamorphosed into a transparent, shadow like entity that very swiftly flew up the stairs. To his astonishment, the beam of light that he had seen in the sky a few minutes before and a couple of miles away was now at the top of the hill, only about 100 ft away. With his heart racing, he drove as fast as he could eastward along the base of the hill until he came to the nearest hill street and drove up McDonald Avenue to see what was happening. In a matter >of seconds, traveling from the bottom to the top of the hill, he arrived at the top of the steps only to find three circle-shaped burn markings on the pavement of the street. Approximately 10 seconds later he heard a very weird kind of gunshot sound, looked up to the sky and saw a bright light shooting up into the stars. As he watched the spectacle a surreal kind of peaceful feeling came upon him and he felt as if every hair on his body as standing on end. The feeling only lasted for what felt like 30 seconds, but when he looked at his watch it was a good 40 minutes later.

Later he awoke to the words "he has (unintelligible) send him back". It felt like he had an IV in his arm. His next memory was of being back in his bedroom at 0500A. He has no other memories of the event.

26-year old Liliana Nievas was sitting in her patio with her boyfriend when suddenly several "cascotazos" (a sort of rock or brick abundant in the area) fell on the two apparently coming from an area behind the patio. Liliana went alone to investigate when she came upon a short dark "man", which began to pummel her and attempted to drag her away. She could only describe the entity as short, dark and shadowy, which covered her mouth and began to drag her on the ground. Hearing her screams, several neighbors, family members, and her boyfriend ran to find the woman lying on the ground suffering facial injuries. She kept screaming that "he is trying to drag me away" as the astounded group watched as a mysterious force indeed seemed to pull her away, however they did not see anybody. Finally with the help of her boyfriend and others they managed to hold Liliana down and the force seemed to release her. She was taken to a local hospital suffering from grievous injuries.

Others in the area reported being pelted by bricks and another witness reported seeing a shadowy entity stealing fruit from his backyard.

Emily Parkinson was lying in bed when a bright white light suddenly was reflected in her mirror. Instantly she sat up terrified and went to the window to see whether it was her husband coming home. She then saw a figure of approximately 6 ft in height standing on her lawn. It seemed to have a huge eye on its stomach (?) resembling huge black circles that seemed to pierce the witness head with an incredibly high-pitched sound. She was fixed to the spot with terror, as the strange creature seemed to slowly dissolve from view.

Several local inhabitants reported hearing a very loud booming noise over the area and what appeared to be a metallic object falling into the beach area. For a while they did not approach the supposed crash site because of fear. However others reported that the object was huge and disc-shaped, apparently metallic, without windows or wings. Soon after the "crash" members of the Mexican Territorial Army cordoned off the area and warned local inhabitants not to approach the area. Others have reported seeing similar disc-shaped craft flying at a high altitude over the area.

Constable Jagdish Parishad who on Thursday was keeping vigil on the international border had seen a flying object like a hot air balloon carrying three persons who disembarked after landing in Pakistani territory.

Since the constable had never seen a para-glider, fan glider or even a hot air balloon during his service tenure, it is difficult to ascertain the authenticity of the matter.

Just prior to the UFO sighting Pakistani troops backed
by helicopter gunships and artillery detained 20 people in raids against suspected Al-Qaeda hideouts in a tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

On a very cold night, the witness, Marina was in her room reading a book when she heard loud scratching noises on her window. Startled she looked at the window and saw a bizarre entity with a very large head and strange red eyes. The entity stared at Marina and mumbled some words, which Marina thought it meant for her to come and open the window because he wanted to talk to her. In a trance-like state she opened the window and the entity then spoke the following words, "Humans less and less value their planet, and each day that goes by they destroy the planet a little more, humans do not realize that they are destroying themselves also."

A silhouette of a man who walks on rooftops, drags heavy chains and makes strange noises turned into a disquieting "phantom" that has made residents of Monte Maiz restless. Opinions on the "phantom" are diametrically opposed, since some claim having seen "a figure standing over 2 meters tall, dressed in black and with spectacular agility" while others say its all imagination. The local residents call it "the phantom". Those who have seen it say that it is a young person, very tall and slim, with red eye. It dresses in white, sometimes black and others gray. Always wears a hat and covers its face with a mask or hood.

The sounds on the rooftops begin after 2100 hours, as do the calls to the police. Residents claim that it walks on the roof, shuffles and runs, drags chains, scratches at windows and bangs at doors. It doesn't speak or yell---it has only been heard to laugh in the dark or whistle, some claim having heard it imitate the howling of a dog. Locals say that it runs swiftly and jumps over barbed wire fencing and walls without touching them, according to concerned neighbors. Some eyewitness accounts follow:

Ivana Molina had gone out to her yard and saw a man dancing, whistling and slapping his hands. The neighbors heard similar noises. The next day, she went out and the same man tried to grab her. She ran into the house and phoned the police. It then banged on her bathroom window and wrote "mueres" (you'll die) with its finger.

Oscar Gonzalez reported standing in the yard when he saw a shadow walking along. He could see its red eyes. He then went out with another fellow to find it and the "phantom" jumped the neighbor's yard. It was dressed in white. The following day it whistled at the men again. They went out to chase it and it vanished.

Veronica Bertrando reported that her husband saw it as it crossed the patio; he said it was dressed in gray with a hood over its head. When it went by the dog >barked, her husband then went outside and it took off running. He searched for it but could not find it.

Local police offered the following additional details on the stranger (or strangers?), 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall, dresses in black, a white face (possibly a mask) wears a black hat, its movements are generally silent and possesses extreme agility, it jumps over fences, walls and climbs up trees with ease. It normally appears between 2130 to 0300 hours

A sort of "inner voice" told the witness to get his camera and go outside. He waited for about 5 minutes then a bright white light shone on his eyes and then he saw three disc-shaped craft surrounding a large cigar-shaped object maneuvering overhead. The discs kept circling around the cigar. He took three photographs then he was again illuminated by a bright white light and suddenly found himself on his bed the next morning. He suffered from nosebleeds after the incident and had strange lucid "dreams" of seeing a little "black man" who enters his bedroom and tells him that they are taking him.

Steven Nicklin and a friend were walking across Northicote Farm near an old Tudor farmhouse when both men saw a humanoid grayish figure with a human-type head standing on a tree, which formed part of the many trees that bordered the farm, these were tall pine trees, and the figure stood on the top branches. They estimated the size of the figure as being about 2.1 meters in height. It had two legs and two arms connected to membrane-type wings. Its clawed hands seemed connected to the wings, somehow resembling a pterosaur. It moved its head and looked directly at the witnesses, since the moon was full and there was a streetlight not far away. It turned its head from the witnesses and then took one giant leap and glided to the next tree. The tree bent under the creature's weight as it took the impact. It then turned its head to look at them once more. Its gaze felt that "it could look into their very being (soul)". Both men felt quite scared and both fled the area quickly. The men said that it was a creature they had never seen before nor wanted to see again.

The witness was on his paper route and was driving at about 25-30 mph when he saw a real bright light in the sky about the size of the moon. He pulled up to the side to catch a better glimpse of the object. About 1 minute passed when all of the sudden it disappeared. Then after 10 seconds of dead silence a round bright object landed right in front of the witness. It was circular and glowed very brightly. It was probably about 25 ft in height and about 100 ft in diameter. Stunned the witness heard a voice as if someone was talking to him gently in his ear. He looked around and did not see anybody. All of the sudden the craft didn't glow anymore and on the side of the craft it said, "future". The voice then said, "nobody else can see this but you, we are from the future, you are a representative now of the future for this mass (sic), please lead or there will be dire consequences." The voice talked very slowly and clearly in perfect English. He still couldn't see anybody but after the voice stopped talking he shouted, "who the hell are you"! And then everything disappeared. After about 10 minutes of reflecting on what had occurred, the witness drove home.

The cat walked out of the bedroom through the closed door, but feeling very tired Wiktoria went to sleep. That same night she had a strange "dream" about her cat. She woke up feeling the cat's hot body on her legs. At the same time she sensed and heard strange voices and music. Three separate voices were discussing something, speaking in a strange language. The music resembled classical music, very similar to the Mozart symphonies, but it was definitely not a Mozart composition. Afraid, Wiktoria turned the lamp on. The voices and the music then slowly faded away. She was unable to sleep the rest of the night.

The witness, M N, was driving eastward on Wellington Street on the southeastern end of Lake Superior and as he came to the central part of the city (known to locals of the Lake Superior region as Soo, Canada). He noticed a straight beam of light hovering in the early morning sky, from the top of the hill that was on his northern side. His vehicle came to a complete stop at a cross street and he looked all the way down to the end of the street (about 7 blocks away) because the street ended at the base of the hill and has a metal stairwell leading to McDonald Avenue. Although being 7 blocks away his eyes were able to focus on a little dark figure that was standing very still. This caught his curiosity as he slowly drove towards it, and then started moving from side to side using fluid movements as if it >was hovering in mid-air. It moved as if it was confused, or afraid and didn't know what to do. As he got closer, the figure's appearance seemed to have metamorphosed into a transparent, shadow like entity that very swiftly flew up the stairs. To his astonishment, the beam of light that he had seen in the sky a few minutes before and a couple of miles away was now at the top of the hill, only about 100 ft away. With his heart racing, he drove as fast as he could eastward along the base of the hill until he came to the nearest hill street and drove up McDonald Avenue to see what was happening. In a matter >of seconds, traveling from the bottom to the top of the hill, he arrived at the top of the steps only to find three circle-shaped burn markings on the pavement of the street. Approximately 10 seconds later he heard a very weird kind of gunshot sound, looked up to the sky and saw a bright light shooting up into the stars. As he watched the spectacle a surreal kind of peaceful feeling came upon him and he felt as if every hair on his body as standing on end. The feeling only lasted for what felt like 30 seconds, but when he looked at his watch it was a good 40 minutes later.

A 25-year old witness named Mikhail Abramov went with two friends in a boat north of town on the “White Sea” to the forest looking for berries. They debarked, gathered berries and stayed to spend the night in an old empty wooded shack.

At 0300A Mikhail went outside for a physiological need and heard a growing humming sound, the sky darkened a thunderstorm approached. The witness stood waiting wondering why the sudden sharp changes of weather. Hail began falling and suddenly he saw a dot of light in the black sky over the forest, it was moving quickly towards the witness. Mikhail froze and pondered upon the origin of the object.

The object then descended very low and the witness was able to see a woman with long hair, sitting astride a small cylinder shaped object. The cylinder-shaped device emanated a blue glow from its rear section. The witness watched flabbergasted and could not move from his location, apparently paralyzed. The strange woman pointed a finger at the witness in an apparent threatening manner, he could not say exactly. At the same moment he felt an electric current that ran through his body. Then the woman suddenly accelerated away from the area again transforming itself into a distant dot in the sky, and quickly disappearing from sight.

The witness stood stunned for some time, staring at the sky for some time and then went back into the shack. In the morning his friends were also stunned as they noticed that Mikhail’s hairs had become totally gray overnight. (!) Not believing his friends, he approached the mirror and looked at his hair stunned. Later doctors were unable to explain why his hair had changed so radically overnight.

29-year old trucker Arquimedes Sanchez and his partner were on their way to off-load some merchandise when the headlights of the truck illuminated a strange figure standing on the side of the road on the embankment. They stopped the truck and focused the headlights on the figure described as about 1.10 to 1.20m in height and resembling a “hairy octopus” rust-red in color. Its body was completely covered in a rust-colored hair.

The strange creature was standing just on the side of the road and when the headlights shine on him, he covered his eyes with one of his tentacles. According to the witness, the creature had at least 4 tentacle-like arms.

After observing the creature for several minutes, in which the creature did not move, Sanchez told his partner to grab a jackhammer and attack the creature, his partner promptly refused the request. Sanchez then backed up his truck and then drove straight towards the creature, the creature did not budge it just seemed to step back as the truck stopped, since it could not go on any further due to the very steep embankment. The witness repeated this maneuver several times with the same results. The only movement on the part of the creature was when it covered its round glowing eyes with one of its tentacles. Another truck drove by and did not stop its occupant apparently did not see the creature. Sanchez and his partner finally decided to leave and drove into town, without telling anyone about their strange encounter.

The witness was suddenly awakened by strange noises and saw standing by his bedroom door three human-like figures about 1.65meters in height, which had apparently just walked up the stairs. One of the figures stopped by the door and looked directly at the witness. He was suddenly unable to move, totally paralyzed. The two other figures stood at either side of the first figure. They then walked over the witness’s brother bedroom and to the bathroom, apparently inspecting the area; they met again at the witness door and then disappeared up the stairs towards the attic. They moved slowly and purposefully. All three figures wore tight-fitting black diving suits with hoods covering their heads. The figure that briefly stared at the witness apparently exercised some kind of “mental” control over him.

After the witness was able to move again he searched the entire house and found nothing, he was not able to detect any signs of break in. The other family members apparently slept throughout the episode.

Thank you Arnold Rosales! We appreciate you sharing the Humanoid Sightings you have accumulated.

Did you see that dark, fleeting shape out of the corner of your eye? Perhaps you caught a glimpse of a strange entity that is being seen with greater regularity around the world. "What was that?" You were sitting comfortably on your sofa reading the latest issue of Fortean Times in the dim light when movement across the room caught your attention. It seemed dark and shadowy, but there was nothing there. You returned to your reading - and a moment later there it was again. You looked up quickly this time and saw the fleeting but distinctly human shape of the shadow pass quickly over the far wall... and disappear.What was that? Some natural shadow? Your heightened imagination? A ghost? Or was it something that seems to be a spreading phenomenon - apparitions that are coming to be known as "shadow people" or "shadow beings." Perhaps this is an old phenomenon with a new name that is now being discussed more openly, in part thanks to the Internet. Or maybe it's a phenomenon that, for some reason, is manifesting with greater frequency and intensity now.Those who are experiencing and studying the shadow people phenomenon say that these entities almost always used to be seen out of the corner of the eye and very briefly. But more and more, people are beginning to see them straight on and for longer periods of time.

Some experiencers testify that they have even seen eyes, usually red, on these shadow beings.The mysterious sightings have become a hot topic of conversion in paranormal chat rooms, message boards and websites, and it was given widespread attention on The Art Bell talk radio show.

What are shadow people and where do they come from?

Time Travelers

People from our own future, another idea states, could have found the means to travel to the past - our time. However they are able to accomplish this incredible feat, perhaps in that state they appear to us merely as passing shadows as they observe the events of our timeline.

Interdimensional BeingsEven mainstream science is fairly convinced that there are dimensions other than the three we inhabit. And if these other dimensions exist, who or what (if anything) inhabits them? Some theorists say that these dimensions exist parallel and very close to our own, although invisible to us. And if there are inhabitants in these other dimensions, it is possible that they have found a way to intrude on our dimension and become, at least partially, visible? If so, they could very well appear as shadows. It has long been held by psychics and other sensitives that beings on other planes of existence are of different "vibrations."

Science is beginning to look at reality, on a quantum level, in the same way - that particles of the smallest size exist as vibrations. Perhaps, some theorize, the vibrations of our existence are beginning to mesh with those of another dimension, which accounts for the increase in such phenomena as ghosts, shadow people and possibly aliens.

Aliens

The alien and abduction phenomena are so bizarre that it's no surprise that extraterrestrials are suspects as the shadow people. Abductees have reported in many cases that the alien grays seem to be able to pass through walls and closed windows, and to appear and disappear abruptly, among other otherworldly talents. Perhaps, too, they can go about their alien agenda disguised in the shadows.There's a good deal of overlapping among the above ideas, of course.

Aliens and ghosts could be interdimensional beings, or aliens could be time travelers - and some believe demons are responsible for all of these disturbing phenomena.There is no way to prove or disprove any theories about a phenomenon that is so mysterious, that happens so quickly and without warning. Science finds it virtually impossible to catalog or study such phenomena in any methodical way. All we can do, at present, is to document personal experiences and try to piece together what the shadow people phenomenon might be. Perhaps it's an old mystery becoming more recognizable... perhaps it represents a doorway to and from different planes of existence... or perhaps it's just shadows.


House of Shadows

I became aware of the shadows shortly after moving into my house in New Jersey. My daughters' playroom was in the basement and they were constantly complaining that they were always seeing something move out of the corners of their eyes. My youngest also said they hovered near the ceiling. In later years, I had my floral workshop in the basement and saw them constantly. It got to the point where I would talk to them with my mind, not that they ever answered back.

They were black. We saw them all over the basement, but mostly along one wall, and occasionally saw them along the same wall on the first floor and in the kitchen near the back door. We did not see them anywhere else in the house or elsewhere on the property. But even when we did not get a glimpse of them, we were aware when they were present. Some of them seemed to have an evil presence. A few years after we moved in, I told them they were not welcome in the house and the evil presence seemed to go away. Still, we had an uneasy feeling about them. Not fear. We just accepted they were there, as several steps taken over the years to make them go away didn't work anyway. Only once after the evil ones were told they were not welcome was I aware they came back. And I am not sure if they were evil or just upset. I will explain later.

Only once did it see one clearly. But it happened in a split second and I did not see it from top to bottom. I was walking through the breakfast room into the kitchen. The kitchen light was on in the corner. It was by the back door in front of the stove. I was startled. I thought someone had come into the house. It all happened very fast. But the light from behind it did not pass through as it would a shadow. It was short and stocky and appeared as a silhouette of a person. It had a head (there were no discernable features, including no eyes) shoulders, arms and a torso. It disappeared too fast to take note if it had legs or feet. I sensed it was as surprised as I was and did not intend to be seen.

Then our house caught fire. It was a major fire that started from a shorted TV along the wall of shadows in the den. We were out of the house six months while it was repaired. About a week after the fire, I stopped by right before dark to pick up a few things. As I came onto the back porch and looked through the six-foot hole where the picture window once was, I looked across the breakfast room at the basement doorway. I sensed three shadows near the doorway. It was almost dark outside, so I did not actually see them. I also got a very bad feeling about them and told them by thought that the evil ones were still not welcome in the house whether I was there or not. Then I turned and left without entering the house. I was quite rattled. Whether I had this feeling because I was also emotionally upset about the fire... I cannot say.

The next day, I went back and it seemed the house was full of shadows, although I only caught a glimpse of them, as usual, fleeing in the basement. And I am not sure I really saw them as there were no lights on down there and the only light was from the window-well windows. It was the only time I ever sensed that they tried to communicate. It seemed they were upset that we were not there because the house was all black, there was no light for them in the kitchen, and there were strangers in the house (the workers) every day. A few weeks later, burglars tried to steal the new appliances for the house. Everything was left in the kitchen by the back door. My daughters and I joked that they met up with the shadows and were scared off. Who knows? - MSF

Shadow Man on the Road

I've always been very observant and I notice everything around me in detail. When I was 13, I was riding home from the supermarket with my older brother. All of a sudden, a dark figure dove under the car. It happened very quickly, but I saw it straight on. It was definitely in the shape of a man and it seemed to appear out of nowhere. I said to my brother, "I just saw a... a... a shadow man." Of course, my brother made a joke of it. I went along with it, but it was more than a joke to me. I saw another shadow man that very night when I got out of bed to go to the bathroom. I know it was not my mind playing tricks. - Jason

Researchers in Ufology are very familiar with this case but for those of you who have not heard of it, it is one of the most intriguing cases ever! This article ran in the Missing Link magazine.
_______

One of the most popular cases involving an abduction is the case of Antonio Villas Boas, a 25 year-old (at the time) Brazilian farm worker. This case has been repeated numerous times in every UFO publication. We decided to relate it once more for those of you who have not heard about this notorious case.

Gordon Creighton reported in the book, "The Humanoids," a long and detailed study of this case. Local investigators are convinced he was telling the truth, incredible though the story may sound. In light of 1988 revelations concerning genetic experiments it is a lot more plausible than it was in 1966. At that time the information was incredulous.

Dr. Olavo Fontes (now deceased) who had the farm boy brought to Rio De Janeiro four months after the happening, decided not to publish the results of their investigation because the case was "too wild," and also, "Because of the possibility of another similar case occurring that could be compared with this one, a comparison that would have been most interesting if the first case were not generally known. But no second case appeared, and now years later, you have finally published the results of the investigation made by the Brazilian Society for the Study of UFOs." The above letter was from Dr. Fontes to Gordon Creighton, dated April 25, 1966.

Antonio Villas Boas is described as a handsome brown-skinned man, partly Portuguese and partly Indian, with very little education, a typical small farmer of the Brazilian interior. After the event, doctors confirmed that he had symptoms suggesting radiation poisoning or exposure to radiation.

The young man's experience began the night of October 5, 1957. There had been a party at his house and he had gone to bed later than usual, around 1:00 a.m. He shared a room with his brother Joao, and because it was a hot night he decided to open the shutters of the window. There he noticed, in the middle of the yard, a silvery fluorescent reflection, lighting up the whole ground. It was a very white light and he did not know where it came from. It seemed as it came from high above, like the light of a car headlamp shining downwards. But there was nothing in the sky where the light could be coming from. Since his brother was not interested, both boys went back to sleep, but a little later, bothered by it, he opened the shutters again and found the light still there. As he continued to watch, it started to move slowly towards his window. He closed the shutters again and then awakened his brother, who joined him in watching the light that penetrated through the little slats in the shutters, and eventually went out.

Nothing further occurred until the night of October 14. This time it was between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m., and he was working his tractor in a field along with his other brother. "Suddenly we saw a very bright light, it was so bright that it hurt the eyes, but it remained stationary at the northern end of the field."

Antonio decided to go toward where the brightly lit object was, but it moved and shifted to the other end of the field with enormous speed, and then stopped again. He went after it, and the same maneuver repeated itself several times more, with Antonio following the strange object, and the object moving away from him. "From time to time it seemed to give out rays in all directions, with flashes like the setting sun. Then the light suddenly vanished, just as though it had been turned out."

The following day, October 15, he was alone with his tractor in the same place. It was a cold night, and the sky was very clear. At one o'clock in the morning, a bright object appeared in the sky that soon came closer until he realized that it was a "very luminous, egg-shaped object, flying towards me at a terrific speed. It was moving so fast that it was above the tractor before I had time to think what I should do. This object suddenly halted and it descended till it was perhaps fifty meters or so above my head, lighting up the tractor and all the ground around, as though it were daylight."

Antonio was, of course, terrified by it all. He thought of running, but didn't think he had much chance escaping from it on his tractor. To abandon the tractor and run on foot would have made little sense because the soil was soft and he would have sunk into it knee-deep. While he was thinking what to do, the object moved closer and then slowly dropped towards the ground. "I was able now to see for the first time that it was a strange machine, rather rounded in shape, and surrounded by little purplish lights, and with an enormous red headlight in front from which all the light had been coming that I had seen when it was higher up in the sky... like a large, elongated egg with three metal spurs in front, one in the middle and one on each side. On the upper part of the machine there was something which was revolving at great speed and also giving a powerful fluorescent, reddish light. At the moment when the machine reduced speed to land, this light changed to a greenish color..."

Antonio tried to start up the tractor and run for it, but the machine died. The lights of his tractor went out simultaneously. He jumped to the ground and tried to run anyway. But someone grabbed him by the arms. "My pursuer was a short individual, reaching to my shoulder, and dressed in strange clothing. In my desperation I swung around sharply and gave him a hefty push which threw him off-balance. This forced him to let go of me and he fell on his back to the ground about two meters away from me."

Incidentally, Antonio had no idea whether his attacker was male or female. He tried to run again, but was attacked simultaneously by three other beings who grabbed him by the arms and legs and lifted him off the ground, thus ending his defense. Their grip was firm and although he started to yell for help and even to curse them, it didn't do any good. They dragged him towards the craft, but as he was speaking loudly, "my speech seemed to arouse their surprise and curiosity, for they stopped and peered attentively at my face every time I spoke, though without loosening their firm grip on me." Here perhaps we should remind ourselves that Betty Hill's extraterrestrials spoke without moving their lips, or nearly so, thus a human being articulating with extensive movement of the lips while speaking would naturally be a novelty to extraterrestrials.

They carried Antonio to the aircraft which was standing on three metal supports at a height of about two meters. There was an open door to the rear of it that opened from top to bottom, forming a bridge at the end of which there was a metal ladder. This ladder was unrolled to the ground now and he was put upon it, even while Antonio was still trying to run away. This made the narrow ladder swing from side to side. But it didn't do him any good; they pushed him up the ladder and inside the aircraft.

"I saw that we had entered a small square room. Its polished metal walls glittered with the reflection of the fluorescent light coming from the metal ceiling given off by lots of small, square lamps set in the middle of the ceiling and running all around the edge of it... the outer door came up and closed, with the ladder rolled up and fastened to it... the lighting was so good that it seemed like daylight. But even in that fluorescent white light, it was impossible to make out any longer where the outer door had been, for in closing, it seemed to have turned into part of the wall. I could only tell where it had been because of the metal ladder attached to the wall."
Antonio saw five individuals, one of whom motioned him to go towards another room which he saw through an open door opposite the outer entrance. The young farmer had by now decided that obeying the strangers was the better part of valor, so he stepped into the second room. This turned out to be much larger, and semi-oval in shape, and there was a metal column in the middle of it running from ceiling to floor, wide at the top and bottom and quite a bit narrower in the middle. It was round and seemed solid.

"I do not believe it was there only for decoration; it must have served to support the weight of the ceiling." Maybe so: but Dr. Daniel Fry, in speaking of his experience inside a UFO, reports a similar column, which however, was the shaft leading to the revolving dome and consequently a major part of the engine itself. There is of course no possibility that young Antonio had heard of Dr. fry or had read his book. Antonio noted a table and several backless swivel chairs, all made of white metal. The table and stools tapered off into one single leg fixed to the floor or linked to a movable ring held fast by three supports that stuck out on each side and was set into the floor.
The two men who had forced him into the room still held him by the arms while the others looked at him and seemed to discuss him.

"What I was hearing bore no resemblance to human speech. It was a series of barks, slightly resembling the sounds made by a dog... they were slow barks and yelps, neither very clear or very hoarse, some longer, some shorter, at times containing several different sounds all at once, and at other times ending in a quaver. But they were simply sounds, animal barks, and nothing could be distinguished that could be taken as the sound of a syllable or a word in a foreign language."

Naturally, if the strangers' ears were different from ours, for instance, capable of registering a wider band of auditory impulses than we carry, then what sounded like barks and yelps to Antonio might be decoded quite differently by a differently attuned set of ears. This is a little like a garbled radio signal which has to be filtered through an adapter before it can be understood in terms of our own spectrum. If we run a tape recorder at a faster speed than that at which we have recorded human speech, the resulting distortion would make it impossible for us to understand a single word being said, and create a totally false image of what we have been saying into the microphone. I think that the inability of the human ear to properly decode or receive the aliens' speech accounts for the strange impression their speech made on this witness, and some of the other witnesses who have heard their speech - Betty Hill thought it sounded like the humming of birds or bees, for instance.

Apparently, they had come to some sort of agreement concerning him. All five of them grabbed him again and started to undress him. He struggled, and protested, but to no avail. They did not understand his speech, either, and looked at him as though trying to make him understand that they were really nice people. Even though they were using force, they never at any moment hurt him, and they did not try to tear off his clothes.

"Finally they had me totally naked, and I was again worried to death, not knowing what would happen next. Then one of the men approached me with something in his hand. It seems to be a sort of wet sponge and with it began to spread a liquid all over my skin... they spread this liquid all over my body... I was cold, for the night temperature was already cold and it was markedly colder still inside those two rooms in the machine."

Again, we have the parallel of Betty Hill who reports that the inside temperature within the craft was markedly colder than on the outside. It appears to me that this is so not because the occupants cannot control their temperature, but because they are more comfortable in a colder climate, coming perhaps from a planet where the average temperature is lower than ours.
"I was led by three of the men towards a closed door that was on the opposite side to where we had come in. Making signs with their hands that I should accompany them, and barking to each other from time to time, they moved in that direction with me in the middle."

As they got Antonio through the door, he happened to see on top of the opening a "sort of luminous inscription traced out in red symbols which, owing to the effect of the light, seemed to stand out about two inches in front of the metal of the door. This inscription was the only thing of its kind that I saw in the machine."

He realized that this was something of great importance and tried hard to memorize the inscription so that he could tell about it afterwards. As it turned out, he was able to make a drawing of what he remembered, even more clearly after hypnosis had been applied.

He now found himself in a smaller room, and as soon as he was inside, the door closed and he was no longer able to tell where it had been, only that the wall was now smooth. A little later two men came in with a rubber tube each, and applied them through a cup-shaped nozzle to his skin, taking some of his blood. It did not hurt Antonio, but later on the spot where they had taken the blood began to burn and itch and he discovered the skin had indeed been torn. The second bleeding was applied to his chin, from the other side of the body, and then he was left alone again.

Why the blood? Perhaps to ensure that the baby which these individuals expected to obtain from the congress of the Brazilian farmer with one of their females would have an adequate supply of plasma, or blood for transfusion, should that ever become necessary. Perhaps their medical people are more advanced in the study of blood types and found it necessary to have the father's blood on hand rather than to depend on other donors. One can only surmise.

The room was empty except for a large couch with a strange hump in the middle, but without headboard or rim. It was soft and seemed to be made of some kind of foam rubber and covered with a soft, thick, gray material. Antonio sat down on it. He noticed then that thick smoke was coming in through openings in the walls. Whether it was because of that, or because of loss of blood, he became ill for a while. He began to wonder what the aliens had in mind, and his nausea and general anxiety made him even more depressed. He had no idea what the aliens looked like, since "all five were dressed in very tight-fitting overalls made of a thick, but soft cloth, gray in color, with black bands here and there. This garment went right up to the neck where it joined a sort of helmet made of a material of the same color, which seemed stiffer and was reinforced at the back and front by strips of thin metal, one of them being triangular and on a level with the nose. These helmets hid everything, leaving visible only the eyes of the people through two round windows similar to the lenses used in spectacles... Above the eyes, the height of the helmets must have corresponded to double the size of a normal head... from the center of the head, three round silvery tubes emerged which were a little thinner than a garden hose. These tubes, one in the center and one on each side, were smooth and ran backwards and downwards, curving in towards the ribs. There they entered the clothing, in which they were fitted in a way that I don't know how to explain. The one in the center entered on the line of the spine. The other two were fixed in, one on each side, below the shoulders, at a point about four inches below the armpits -- almost at the sides, where the ribs start. I noticed nothing, no protuberance or lump that would indicate that these tubes were connected to some box or instrument hidden under the clothing."

Why would these men wear helmets inside their own craft? We already know from many other reports that the aliens are able to breathe our air in a large percentage of cases observed. This also held true of these particular aliens. Therefore, the helmets must have another purpose (apart from serving as breathing devices outside our atmosphere).

Charles Bowen tells about a landing of a UFO near Lossiemouth, Scotland, where amateur astronomer Cedric Allingham reported that a UFOnaut six feet tall emerged from a landed craft, looking most humanlike in every respect." and appeared to differ only in that he had a very high forehead. He wore a one-piece garb with footwear incorporated, but no helmet. He also had tiny tubes running up into his nostrils, and the witness considered these to be part of a breathing aid." Could it be that these devices were in the nature of oxygen masks used by our pilots at very high altitudes, supplementing, but not supplanting the natural supply of air?

Antonio was thinking over what he had seen while waiting for the next act of his drama to unfold. He had observed that the strangers could not bend their fingers completely to the extent of touching their palms with their fingertips. Nevertheless, they had gripped him quite firmly. He was sure that the clothing worn by the crew was some kind of uniform, for he noticed that they all had, at breast level, "a sort of round red shield the size of a slice of pineapple, which from time to time gave off luminous reflections... from this shield in the center of the breast came a strip of silvery cloth or laminated metal which joined onto a broad, tight-fitting, claspless belt."

He also noticed that the pants were tight-fitting and continued onto the shoes, but that the soles of the feet differed from human soles by turning up in front. "Despite this, the men's gait was quite free and easy and they were quite nimble in their movements." Obviously, earth gravity did in no way interfere with the performance of their tasks, unless, of course, they had an apparatus allowing them to adjust to it.

Antonio thought that all of the strangers were exactly the same height as himself, allowing perhaps something for the helmets, except for one of them, the one who had first caught hold of him outside. This one did not come up to his chin. He wondered why one of the crew was somewhat shorter than the other four. But suddenly there was noise at the door and he jumped up. What he saw when the door opened, was a tremendous surprise: A woman was entering, walking towards him, slowly, and perhaps amused at the surprise she was causing.

"I was flabbergasted, and not without good reason. The woman was stark naked, as naked as I was... moreover, she was beautiful... her hair was fair, almost white, smooth, not very abundant, reaching to halfway down her neck and with the ends curling inwards and parted in the center. Her eyes were large and blue, more elongated than round, being slanted outwards like the slit eyes of those girls who make themselves up fancifully to look like Arabian princesses... her nose was straight, without being pointed, nor turned up, nor too big. What was different was the contour of her face, for the cheekbones were very high, making the face very wide... the face narrowed very sharply, terminating in a pointed chin. This feature gave the lower half of her face a quite triangular shape. Her lips were very thin, hardly visible. Her ears were small and appeared no different from those of the women I know... her body was much more beautiful than that of any woman I have ever known before. It was slim, with high and well separated breasts, thin waist and a small stomach, wide hips and large thighs. Her feet were small, her hands long and narrow, and her fingers and nails were normal. She was quite a lot shorter than I, her head reaching up to my shoulder."

It is the latter remark which leads Gordon Creighton to suggest that it was the woman who had originally grabbed Antonio Villas Boas.

The young man had little time to wonder about all this, for the woman looked at him with an expression of wanting something and embraced him rather suddenly, and then "began to rub her head from side to side against my face. At the same time I felt her body all glued to mine and also making movements. Her skin was white and on the arms was covered with freckles... I began to get excited... I think that the liquid they had rubbed on my skin was the cause of this. They must have done it purposely. All I know is that I became uncontrollably excited sexually, a thing that had never happened to me before. I ended up by forgetting everything and I caught hold of the woman, responded to her caresses with other and greater caresses... it was a normal act, and she behaved just as any woman would, as she did yet again, after more caresses."

Antonio was able to notice a few peculiarities of her love making style. It appears she grunted a lot, and that to him it sounded like the grunts of an animal (again, because he did not understand the language). She never kissed him; the nearest thing she came to it was a gentle bite on his chin. He also couldn't help but notice that the hair in her armpits and in the pubic area was red, whereas the hair on her head had been nearly white.

The door opened now, one of the men reappeared and called out to the woman. She left but before she went out, "she turned to me, pointed at her belly, and then pointed towards me and with a smile, she finally pointed towards the sky - I think it was in the direction of the South."
The man reentered and handed Antonio his clothes, gesturing to him that he should get dressed. It was clear to him why he had been chosen to make love to this woman; evidently, they had thought of him as a healthy specimen that would improve their "stock."

Antonio never saw the woman again, but he discovered there was another room on the craft where she stayed. The door was slightly ajar and he heard noises coming from that direction. When he was fully dressed, one of the men gestured to him and took him back to the room through which he had first entered the craft. However, they evidently decided to reward him by giving him a tour of the machine. The alien pilot gestured to Antonio to follow him, and they walked onto a platform on either side of the entrance door. This was a platform that went around the machine, and was in the nature of a narrow rim that allowed one to go in either direction. Antonio noticed a square, metallic projection fixed into the side of the machine on both sides, somewhat like short wings. He reasoned that they controlled the movement of the machine in some manner. "Further on towards the front, the man pointed out to me the three metal shafts I have already mentioned, solidly set in the sides of the machine and right in the front... the position of all three was horizontal... they were giving off a slight reddish phosphorescence, as though they were red-hot. However, I felt no heat." He noticed two side lights above the shafts, and one enormous one in front, the front headlight of the machine. "All around the hull of the craft and slightly above the platform... were countless small square lamps similar in appearance to those used for the interior lighting of the machine." He did not see any windows in the craft, but thought that perhaps that was specially arranged in this manner. "I think that those front spurs released the energy that drove the machine forward, because when it took off, its luminosity increased extraordinarily, merging completely with the lights of the head lamps.

The alien pilot then took him back to the rear of the machine and pointed out the "enormous dish-shaped cupola which was rotating slowly, completely lit up by a greenish fluorescent light coming from I don't know where. Even with that slow movement, you could hear a noise like the sound of air being drawn in by a vacuum cleaner, a sort of whistle ... Later, when the machine began to rise from the ground, the revolving dish increased its speed to such a point that it became invisible, and then only the light could be seen, the brightness of which also increased quite a lot, and it changed color, turning to a vivid red. At that moment, the sound also increased, showing that there was a connection with the speed of rotation of the round dish revolving on the top of the craft and turned into a veritable hum or loud whine." I could not make out the reason for such changes, nor can I even now understand what the bright rotating saucer was for, but it never stopped turning. Obviously, though, there was some reason for it to be where it was.

"There seemed to be a small reddish light at the center of the cupola or rotating saucer. But of this I cannot be quite sure because it moved so fast.

"Walking to the back of the machine, we went past the door once more and, going ahead, followed the curve to the back. Right behind, where the tail of an airplane would naturally emerge, there was an oblong piece of metal standing up back to front, crossing the platform. But it was low, no higher than my knee. It was quite easy for me to step over it to get to the other side, and then come back again. As I was doing this, I noticed that there were two reddish lights embedded one on each side of it, at ground level, looking like two thick, slanting-out jutting lines. They looked like the head spotlights of a plane, though they didn't twinkle. I believe that the metal slab must have been a kind of rudder to change the ship's direction. At least that was what I noticed, seeing the thing moving to one side at the very moment the ship, which had already stopped still in midair at some height after taking off, suddenly changed direction just before heading up at a fantastic speed.

"The visit to the back of the machine being over, we walked back to the door. My guide pointed to the metal stair and signaled to me to go down it. I obeyed and when I got down I looked up to see if he was coming too, but he was still there. He then pointed to himself, then to the ground, and then in southerly direction to the sky; he again signaled me to step back, and forthwith disappeared inside the machine. The metal ladder began to shrink, each step fitting into the other, like a pile of boards. When it reached the top, the door (which, when open, was part of the floor) began to lift until it fit right into the wall and so became invisible. The lights from the metal spurs, the headlights, and those of the rotating saucer got brighter, and this last kept turning round faster and faster. The machine began to lift slowly straight up. At the same time the three legs of the tripod began to lift sideways so that the lower part of each (which tapered, was round, and ended in a broader foot) began to fit, or telescope, into the upper part (which was thicker and square). When this was over, the top contrivance entered the bottom of the machine. Finally nothing was to be seen of the legs, and the bottom looked as smooth and polished as if that tripod had never been there at all in the first place. I couldn't see any sign of where the legs had disappeared. These people really knew their business."

"The machine kept rising slowly into space till it was a little over 114 feet above the ground. It stopped for a few moments while it grew increasingly brighter. The buzz formed by the dislocation of air grew louder and the revolving saucer began to rotate at a terrific speed while the light turned to many different shades of color, finally settling on a bright red. As this happened the machine abruptly changed noise, a kind of "shock" and it was then that I noticed what I have called the "rudder" turn to one side. When this was over, the strange airship darted off suddenly like a bullet, southward holding itself slightly askew, at such a heady speed that it disappeared from sight in a few seconds.

"I got back to my tractor. It was about 5:30 a.m. when I left the airship. By all accounts I must have entered it at 1:15 a.m. so I had spent four hours and fifteen minutes on it. Quite a long time, in fact!"

"As I tried to start the engine, I noticed that it still wasn't working so I tried to find out if there was something wrong with it and discovered that the wire ends of the battery had been unscrewed and were out of place. Somebody had obviously been at them, for a well screwed on battery wire doesn't come loose by itself, and I had checked them all on leaving home. That must have been done by one of the men when the tractor was standing still with the engine dead, probably to prevent me from running away in case I had been able to free myself from their grasp. Those were really sharp-witted people; there was nothing that had escaped their notice."

This case has been related from two books, the first, Hans Holzers' "UFONAUTS" and the second, Coral and Jim Lorensen's "Encounter's with UFO Occupants."

I still do not know who is speaking. - Leneesa


The world in the basement of our earth:

I do not know if you have read the book "TELOS" by Aurilie Louise Jones. (JW I know Louise and have been in her home when she lived in the town called Shastina, Calif. I believe she is telling the truth in the things that she says and does.) At the end of the first volume, Mykos invites those who can come to visit him. I wanted to do it!

I landed opposite a charming man of Mediterranean type, bronzed, who was close to a river. He had a really delighted air in that an inhabitant of the surface had come to give him a short visit! When one reads the book, one is curious about the world they live in, but when one is on the spot it is astounding! It is true that it has a central sun, and the most difficult concept to accept, is the horizon which goes up, which curves. It took several visits for it to become my normality also. Opposite the river, it had trees like I never saw. Enormous, gigantic, splendid. He showed me his library one day when I went to say hello. It is a beautiful building of Greek style if my memories are good, with many works. But I must acknowledge that after having seen the library on Vulcan, I was not as sensitive as I would have been, faced with so many works.

Then he led me to see the children of Telos. And there they are marvellous. They have an openness of spirit, a vivacity, a note of love, an incredible tolerance. Like the children of the Mouniens, and like all the children of the nonterrestrial races which were presented to me, these children very early learn how to take themselves on a journey of consciousness, and to meet other cultures. As Vaissia had said to me, that teaches them TOLERANCE. By looking at and by feeling the true Joy of these children, I said to myself that the time when ours will live this open-mindedly, will be a time of Rebirth.

I do not go down any more because Mykos has not been there since the summer of 2003. He does not resound any more in the subtle world, but he resounds in our heavy surface density.

Well before reading the Telos book and taking a stroll in the world of the center of our Earth, I had met other inhabitants who live under the surface. My first visit was to an immense cathedral. I landed there in a box at the top of the cathedral, and I see below hundreds of men and women clad in white, who emit a buzzing vibration. This vibration is in direct relation with Shamballa. These People are of Asian aspect, without a prominent nose. They pray to maintain, and reharmonize the vibratory fields of our Earth. There is no source of light, but the light is everywhere.

When I spoke about it to my Jean he answered that it was explained perfectly with the 3d theory of time. "time passing more slowly in these temporal high densities (more time and less space), one sees the energy which emerges from atomic excitations (emissions of photons) much better than in our world where it appears as only one overly rapid part."

After ten visits in which I did not dare to engage in conversation because I was afraid to disturb, one day I came face to face with someone thatI felt was like a spiritual head. I had no choice but to speak. As thefirst sentence of exchange with him I received: -"Ah, finally! you dare to spend some time!" Then, he trotted me around his world. We took a long corridor (giving the impression of a way that does not finish!) but I did not see an escalator nor something similar.

The places of life are zomes piled up one upon another. Street of zomes. (Zome: a geometrical building of faceted form, which pile up like crystals. Zome for a single person, zomes which communicate for families (like a duplex with us!). In the interior of the dwelling like the outside, the light is soft and homogeneous. Furniture is white, comfortable, purified lines. There are living spaces and places for community meetings. Banquet and conference rooms, with a fountain of purple fire which comforts the subtle bodies when one approaches. These People were in contact with the Cathars and visited at the time of the solstice ceremony for example.

A very interesting case sent in by Albert Rosales, Humanoid Sighting Reports

Location. Pacific OceanDate: 1936 (approximate date) Time: daytime

A Russian civilian transport steam vessel the “Maria” from Leningrad was crossing the Pacific Ocean. Suddenly one day the officer of the watch noticed a strange apparatus ahead on the water, remotely looking like a vessel that ascended out from the ocean. No signs of life could be seen on it and the strange vessel did not respond to the Maria’s radio signals. After a period of observation the Captain of the Maria ordered the launch of a small boat to find out what the object was.

Five sailors approached the object in the rowboat and the rest of the crew watched the boat approach the object and the sailors board the strange object. In a short period of time the strange vessel began moving away at very high speed and soon disappeared into a cloud or fog. An attempt to follow it and intercept the vessel was futile and after several hours of searching and waiting the Captain of the Maria ordered its vessel to continue on its original route.

As the ship returned to the area several days later the Captain ordered its crew to follow the same previous route. Coming close to the location of the previous unexpected meeting the officer of the watch caught a glance of a strange boat, unlike any normal boat he had ever seen. This boat was made of a transparent material. Inside the boat there were 3 sailors of the original 5 that original set out to investigate the anomalous object. When the Maria approached the boat one of the sailors screamed and jumped into the water. Despite an immediate search his body was never sound, apparently submerging into the abyss. The other two were taken onboard, they seemed happy to meet their comrades again.

After that they told an amazing story. When they were taken onboard the strange craft, they were surrounded by strange entities, dressed in dark shiny suits, looking like frogmen. Their extremities were only similar to humans, having small webbed membranes between the fingers. The aliens exchanged glances between them (obviously communicating by telepathy) not verbally. Sometimes they exchanged gestures. The aliens then told the humans that there was no way back, and requested that they stay with them. Two of the sailors immediately agreed, they were then separated from the rest and were never seen again. The other three were imprisoned in an isolated room where they spent about 2 days according to their estimation. Soon and by unknown means, the three men found themselves onboard the strange boat, with a stock of strange food resembling tablets in transparent pockets, that the aliens had also offered them onboard the strange vessel. It was enough to eat 1 or 2 such tablets to feel no hunger. One of the men (the one that jumped in the water later) refused to eat the tablets and while the rest slept became tired with fruitless observations of the ocean and grabbed the alien provisions discarding them into the water. They remained without food for 1 day, but felt no hunger.

Subsequently they noticed the Maria approaching their location. When the “survivors” were taken onboard and the Maria began moving away from the area the strange boat was suddenly surrounded by waves and sank into the ocean. The crew onboard had not been able to take the strange boat onboard since it had nothing to hook on to.

After arriving back to Leningrad the Captain of the Maria sent a report to the Ministry. The Captain and the two remaining sailors were called to the Ministry and interrogated. One of the sailors was labeled a psychotic, the second refused to cooperate any further. The Captain was very persistent in his testimony, referring to the watch journal and stating that everything was accurately documented. But subsequently he was forced to back off and admit that nothing had occurred. Soon the Captain was transferred to another ship.

Comments: A garbled second hand version of this amazing incident is found in the 1982 summaries. In that version the incident took place in the Black Sea. The above appears to be the correct and true account.

Here is some information about group of nice space people called the Mouniens. This also mentions Vulcan. Some people don't believe in it.Some people believe it existed but is no longer in our solar system.Other people believe that it is still there. ..............................................................................................................................................

Subject: Meetings with nonterrestrial consciousnesses

The consciousnesses which have a perspective of assistance: I will not be satisfied in this third part without telling you about their worlds to which they had the kindness to invite me. I will speak to you about: The Mouniens, our friends the instigators of the message "DO YOU WANT US TO SHOW UP" the Solarians, the Vulcans, the Venusians, our fraternity (Shamballa) Presentation of our friends the Mouniens:

Their place here on earth

This place is on earth, more exactly underground, until a short time ago under American territory. For reasons of safety, they are in the course of travelling to other places, always on earth. That said one should not confuse a geographical place with the state, material or not, of the buildings of this site. Everything is at a higher vibratory density, and is not visible, most of the time, with the physical eyes of men. They have laid out places of life, work, a hangar with vessels, overflow room for the reception of the intentions of votes, a temple, rooms for piloting simulations, operation rooms and a few sectors reserved for humans who will settle over there by nationality to be less disoriented.

Their Planet Mounia: While wanting to join my friend Vaissia, the first beingthat I met of this race, I dropped down on his planet. Conical buildings, with pieces at their tops, round, rectangular or square living spaces. The air is dark, cerulean blue, and the plants have white leaves. It is very beautiful over there. Really! What surprisedme, was the presence in a building of a human couple who are there to see whether colonization is possible.
I arrived behind them, in a pad room which I had seen while arriving, they were clad in close-fitting silver garments, seem to be about thirty, and to form a couple. They looked out the window and I could see the city that I had flown over while arriving. Here are the words of Vaissia on this subject: "They are in 4th density, like you. You believe yourselves in 3rd but you are already into 4th. If we want to meet, we lower our vibratory rate. To go out, they have oxygen masks and shoes which ballast their feet. Theystudy the planet and are studied. You seek to know if you can create a colony here."

Every 3 months there is a rotation, and they are studied, examined on their return. But they feel isolated here... With your declared capacities, you would take many years to come, but with a vessel, 3 days... The longest part, is to go to the assembly point."

The choice of life of our friends, and their designs:

The place of each one, is according to its temperament: (teachers, generals, spiritual guide...) They do not have a religion as we know it, but it's best that I read you the description that they gave me: "We do not seek to dominate one another, we do not seek to dominate anyone. It is not our way of Life. We have the direction of higher consciousness. We try to bring ourselves closer, by our acts, even if it is a long-term job!!! In fact they are beings with psychic aptitudes superior to ours, just like the capacity which they have to love. They are successful beings. Here is how they explained it: "We are same stock on the DNA level, although our bodies are more ethereal than yours, a question of density... Our DNA has 38 strands, whereas you have only 2 of them, or even 6 when you are in the process of, in a state of awakening." (12 physical bodies, the remainder etheric bodies that prove that we have doors in the subtle worlds) I believe that beyond all the anecdotes that I could give you on their life, since I frequented them for many months, the best manner so that you really define them, so that you realize of their capacity of Love and their profound desire to help us, is to recount the most intense, most bowled over experience which I lived on a journey of consciousness, and it is thanks to them that I could make this encounter.

My experience at the temple of the Mouniens.

Our friends have a temple where they go to meditate. Their spiritual guide is a very impressive being, so much does he give off wisdom and spirituality. Regularly, I go to the temple, and when he is there, he invites me to come to join him in the central alley. He makes passes around my head with his hands, and my spirit rises towards space-times where a being does not need to be embodied to assert its reality, where all the consciousnesses are Love. These are moments when I LIVE THE UNITY. But you know, it is very frustrating because there is no word to restore the power of these emotions and this comprehension.

ENGAGEMENT:

This day there, I feel a very sharp call at the level of my frontal vision. I put myself in meditation and my spirit is immediately called to our friends. Over there, one asks me to return to the temple. The temple is not yet filled. There are various races, of which some I do nothing but perceive. I see in the upper right Lizzia and some membersof her community.

A luminous being, of a gigantic power of love arrives by the ceiling and dominates the temple by its presence. I do not distinguish absolutely his features, he is an enormous sphere of white energy. The vibration becomes particularly extreme, I feel that I attend a rare event, with a solemn ceremony. I sit down on the left but very quickly the spiritual guide calls me so that I go in the central alley as it will be the case for each one among us. I go near him, and after some passes around my head so that I remember at which point we all are ONE, he makes me understand that we all are there in an engagement with respect to one another, and with respect to our humanity. In times to come where each one will have to choose his destiny, we are bound by the assistance which we want to bring to this terrestrial humanity. It is an engagement, it is a mission of Love of liberation. I feel an infinite gratitude for the engagement of all these nonterrestrial beings who are represented there.

I regain then, my place on the left side, and I see the being who oversees this assembly float in my direction. Its form of energy is so large, so powerful OF LOVE, that I feel a wave of concern. I understand that he moves towards me, and I am afraid of imploding under such a power of Love. I am afraid, I do not feel worthy of what will arrive, I am so imperfect, and once again, I am afraid that he will crush me, his Love is such a powerful force. There he is, he has me penetrate into his aura. I start to distinguish his features. I melt in tears. He is so powerful, he is so large, he is so strong and I am so imperfect... The more he makes me penetrate to the center of his form, the more my emotions are transformed into an immense gratitude, a Joy without name. He is CHRIST, I am rocked by the body CHRIST, of a power of INFINITE LOVE, and I SENSE THAT I HAVE FINALLY RETURNED HOME.

When I have gone down again to where I live, deeply modified forever, I transmitted to Jean the request of the guide to go in his turn to this ceremony. All the choices of our friends, are guided by the LOVE AT THE RIGHT HAND OF CHRIST AND BY DECISIONS OF OUR FRATERNITY. ALL DESCRIPTIONS WHICH I WILL GIVE YOU NOW APPEAR ANECDOTAL TO ME, SO MUCH THE ESSENCE IS ELSEWHERE.

Life with the solarians:

Extremely spritual beings, in unity consciousness, who have the responsibility of guiding humans who wake up. Certain Masters there have a direct involvement in the choices best adapted to our awakening. Jean and my council is in regular psychic contact with the councils of Shamballa.
They have the appearance of bl-cks, living in a splendid environment, restful..

My experience visiting a solarian work of art:

When they came the first time to the house, I asked them whether art existed with them. They had then invited me to come to see... The artist had designed a scene where all the details were beautiful, poetic, amusing, reassuring. I could go into the "tableau" to go and come from inside, nothing was placed randomly. It represented a virgin forest, with a gradation of colors, splendid, restful, with the not unhealthy odors of moisture, the noise of nature, but a magnificent nature. The artist imagines not only the image but also the odor, the sounds, and the music so that the environment is total and gives one a change of surroundings. Art is complete and it becomes very frustrating thereafter to return to brushes, so emotionally limited we are by this flat medium.

Life on Vulcan: (Mars for us).

Angular beings measuring between two and three meters. The facial features are on a smooth face, but it is mobile and expressive. A couple receives me when I go on their premises. Always together in a great peace.

OUTSIDE:

They initially took delivery of me on the surface, in their living space. That resembled a village, full of small places, surrounded by low dwellings. The houses are out of matter making me think of crystal. The sun gleams on the surface of their iridescent houses, but I did not see the interior.
Tents protect the lanes, and curtains of fine misty water clouds make traffic very pleasant. Everywhere, there are places to sit down and discuss, under these canopies of fabric. One of the things which surprised me is the sense of the colors and the beauty. The ground of the streets was covered with what made me think of warm colored carpets, bordeaux, yellow, ochre, duck blue... The sense of temperatureis very variable, and is considered a function of the space time in which one is. One day when I stupidly thought in the presence of the Solarians that it would be hard to live in their world (really very idiotic on reflection) they gathered and laughed while saying to me, that for many species, our Earth is regarded as icy! For example at the solarians my perception is that of a spring environment, whereas at the Vulcans, I felt a heat wave, and I aspired to sit on their benches, which we did. However, in our temporal density, it is quite cold on Mars!

LIBRARY

I very much envy their manner of cultivating themselves. It is lively and global. The only building which dominates this village, is the library. Several floors, crystalline matter, and inside. It was curious, I was on the first floor, I saw below me beings which held in their hands large colored crystal tubes that they took from shelves, or a series of the same tubes of color were laid out. These tubes were about 7 centimeters in diameter for a score of centimeters in length; I was invited to take one of them in my hand. When they are touched, they pass information by vibrations in the hands, they resound, "sing" and emit colors. Images are formed in the spirit, instant knowledge. The tube that they put in my hand made me travel to a place on Earth which I did not know, and by relaxing it, my head filled with images and emotions of Africa as if I had returned from a stay over there. Each color corresponds to an activity: blue for tourism (they know surrounding planets well) pink for civilization, yellow for agriculture, I did not retain the significance of the other colors...

AGRICULTURE

Agriculture... They explained to me, then showed that they grew primarily cereals (wheat in particular), vegetables, they are vegetarians. Wheat is the base of their food. They have immense fields.

Water is pumped from underground. The wheat stem measures more than twometres and each grain is the size of a plum! To go to cultural spots, they take enormous vehicles like sailing tanks which use the wind to run. I saw one of them which could accomodate several people, and close to the village I saw another for a single person!

It is a civilization of exchange of capacity, barter to some extent, not of money, this concept is old fashioned for them. However, they are not compared to Venus, (at the time, I had not been invited to Venus, and I did not know a lot about this civilization). They specify that they are not in alliance with respect to the earth like it is, but they are informed in spite of that of very many of our intrigues. They told me that the Earth does not have the same future as they do, because we have a greater freedom of conscience.

They also showed me many vessels surrounding the earth far out in space, and which await the awakening of our consciousness to reveal themselves. And this couple shows me the progression of the vessels with each visit, as my Venusian Hostess will do later.

GOVERNMENT:

Their government is articulated around sages, the decisions are taken for the group, there is no individuality as we conceive it (no ego), only the sense of the individual in the community and for the community.

But after the library which left me greedy to learn and a little envious faced with such simplicity, they amazed me by showing me their place for....

HOLIDAY:

It is underground...

I felt a descent, and I was shocked to be faced with what awakened for me memories of small Mediterranean ports. Facing me, a stretch of water which made me think of a sea, with boats, and especially a seacoast, with small houses like those on the surface.

They love to come and relax there, but they do not remain a long time because they have a vital need for the sun's rays, it is essential for their balance, therefore they book frequent return tickets there. On return to the surface, they invited me on their premises.

INFORMATION:

If the interior is comfortable, it really did not leave me memories because all that I saw there was occulted by what could be compared with a television. A screen on the wall, but a televison which shows what occurs on other worlds. It is fascinating at what point all is known by all. There is an interactivity, a curiosity for the external world which I adored.

I had the occasion a few months later, by making the acquaintance of Anna on Venus, to see in her interior the same screen which opens on the worlds.

Life on Venus:

Anna received me the first time in her garden when I landed on her world without wholly knowing where I was. My first vision was that of a soft countryside, and on turning of a low and very open house. From afar, I see a human silhouette approaching, and a beautiful smiling and cordial woman nicely invites me to her home. It was Anna. Anna is dressed in white, when I meet her she is wearing jewels which resemble stone belt buckles, different gems with each one of my visits. Anna has a very attentive companion, a very merry child who is seldom at the house, a house open on external nature.

One day when I was tired, Anna suggested a pale pink drink to me which was in a bottle on the coffee table. I did not know that I could drink, but if she suggested it to me, it was possible for me. I took the glass that she gave me, and I drank. Its voice resounded in my spirit that this water held roses. It is more than rose oil, it is the spirit of rose. And it is sensational! This rose water makes the subtle body sparkle and makes it infinitely merry, light. It is amusing because the essence of my being was merry and semi-sparkling, whereas my physique did not feel anything, as if it did not know about what occurs up there, as if put to the side. While I sparkled on the sofa in the living room, I saw by the window a suspension vehicle, without wheels, which made me think of a boat on an air cushion rather than a vessel. This vehicle deposited her son at the house.

On the other side of the room, is also a screen similar to that which I saw among my Vulcan hosts. Regularly, Anna showed me the positioning of their vessels around our earth. Increasingly many have arrived, and await a signal to appear in our space time, and thus to be visible to our eyes.

Tom Dongo

During the past I have spoken at length about the numerous bizarre things that happen to me and around me. The following incident falls in line with dozens of other odd occurrences, due to its typically inexplicable nature. It's now clearly obvious that somebody or something out there is playing tricks at my expense. As always... why? What's the point?

And I'm not the only one. There are plenty of other people these things happen to. Personally, I don't particularly mind, but it is getting old.

In early April my friend Alan and I hiked into a remote Anasazi/Sinagua Indian ruin deep in the Sedona canyonlands. The ruin is situated high up on a mountainside. Because it is far back in the canyons, it is one of the few ruins not visited by a multitude of tourists and hikers. This ancient ruin has some of the most beautifully preserved petroglyphs I have seen; they are at least two hundred years old. Being an ardent photographer, I went about photographing interesting details of the ruin. I took several photos of some handprints on a wall that were probably left by the Apaches. The Apaches had a habit of pressing their hands into wet, red dirt, then imprinting their mud-caked hands on the walls of ruins they came across. Supposedly this was a warning to other tribes and was intended to keep demons from living in the ruins. After that the apaches gave ancient Sinagua ruins a wide berth.

Several weeks later the roll of film was developed. I saw something very curious on two of the photos. I had taken a photo of Alan standing on the edge of a high outcropping with his eyes closed, evidently meditating. It's a clear photo. About ten feet in front of him is a white shaft of light that extends from the top to the bottom of the picture. (Note from Leneesa: I took one like that on my porch) At first I dismissed this because it looked like a rather common flaw in film developing. (During the developing process a chemical can spill on the negative, causing unusual features to appear on the finished photo.) I thought that was the case until Alan took a closer look at the negative. I was surprised to see that the light beam was in the negative, not on it. I already knew that the sun was not a factor, because the sky had been overcast at the time. So this meant that the camera (a Minolta X370) actually captured a white beamlike object (unseen) that was in front of the lens.

On the other photo, one I had taken of the handprints, is a charcoal-black oval area measuring about ten inches in diameter that as not there when I took the photo. In the center of that black spash is a face, one which I had never seen anything like before.

To really make things interesting (as usual), a few nights later I attended a lecture by Al Bielek at the New Age Center. Al was involved in the Philadelphia Experiment. It was a fascinating but long lecture -- over four hours. About ten o'clock I began to get a bit drowsy. I was sitting between two friends, Margaret Pinyan and Tasha Douglass. I had told them about the strange face on my photo and had drawn a picture for them. Ten minutes later Bielek was discussing the types of aliens he was familiar with, showing slides of drawings of a half-dozen different humanoid faces. Most of them I had seen many times before from other researchers. The next slide clicked in and I was electrified by what was on the screen. I think the two women were as startled as I was. It was the exact face I had fifteen minutes earlier drawn for Margaret and Tasha! I asked who it represented, and Bielek replied that it was one of the Greys. The term "Grey" doesn't mean a whole lot to me because they have been tagged as the "enemy" aliens -- and I'm still not so sure about that.

Paranormal stuff like this happens to me quite frequently. This occurrence, like all others before it, has no obvious rational explanation. Here and now, in print, I want to call their bluff and challenge the ETs to stop playing games with all of us. It is my greatest desire to have an honest, heart-to-heart (with no bullshit) compassionate, fully conscious discussion with members of a friendly, humanoid alien race. (Top-secret NATO documents state that there are at lest one hundred alien races that regularly visit Earth. Source: Col. Robert Dean) I would meet with them anytime during daylight hours. But do not want them coming to me during the hours that I am asleep. I stipulate this clearly aware of my rights under the universal law of free will.

I have interviewed about a dozen men and women who have had genuine, pleasant, face-to-face alien contact. Some spoke to the aliens for hours on a friendly and equal basis. It's not that uncommon. But it is always incredible. So now it's my turn... here's my open invitation... let's get on with it. I'll have the coffee ready.

LOCAL UFO SIGHTINGS

There have been more UFO sighting lately in the Sedona area than in any similar period in the years I have lived here. I am still looking into seven of them due to their intense nature. One incident involves a UFO landing and occupants getting out and walking around.

In another incident a group of people watched a 300 to 400 foot diameter disc shaped UFO from a distance of 100 yards. It flew right over them. A third incident, which I know little about, involves a man who was hiking with his dog in the area of Boynton Canyon. A sizable UFO (ship) came right up in front of him as he was walking. By sheer "chance" this man, as he was fleeing the area, ran into Virgil Armstrong, who is one of the world's top UFO lecturers and investigators. Evidently the man was terrified by the incident (as was his dog) and would say little more than what I have just written. It's my opinion that something occurred that the man simply would not talk about.

I've seen this scenario before -- often. I will write about these incidents as I learn more.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The universe we live in must have a boundary. Another universe? Time zones? Other dimensions beyond that? All right, but even those must have boundaries. The Big Question is, what is beyond those boundaries, and what sort of intelligence's, if any, live in that space? Where are we, really -- we and hundreds of human, humanoid (and other) races contained in these hundreds of millions of light years of space? What sort of intelligence is the Ultimate Intelligence that is above all others? (And must it be a sane intelligence?)

Going in the other direction, how was existence created? At one point there had to be absolute nothingness. But even nothingness -- a black void -- is a thing with substance. What created that? What created nothing, and if only nothingness at one time truly existed, how could matter with purposeful form possibly have randomly coalesced into anything meaningful from nothingness? How could living, intelligent creatures have been formed from absolute total nothingness? At some point in creation this had to have been the case.

Nine years ago I had a friend, Terry Newlon, who was then one of the world's best channels. She channeled Djwhal Khul. I asked Djwhal these same questions in a personal channeling session. He said that he was once able to reach the boundaries of the universes, but he could go no further. He told me that he saw upward spirals of moving light outside the boundary. This master of masters had no explanation. To the second question he replied that they once assembled the most powerful entities in existence to try to discover how and when existence began. These entities formed what could be called a reality team, which relayed backward in time. But they never even came close to the starting point, the beginning of All That Is. These most powerful, wisest beings of all seemed to be as puzzled as I, a beginner.

Man is often illustrated as an imposing figure standing upon a globe, peering at the stars, trying to unravel the mysteries of the Universe. As a synthesis, there is a point of understanding in man's consciousness where macrocosmic knowledge of infinity and eternity becomes incomprehensible, and it remains for him a state of mystery. This inexplicable mystery, whatever aspect it may assume to various peoples, is a superior intellect called God: this intellect having the attribute of comprehending infinity and eternity.

With each succeeding generation of man on this earth, it is hoped that they will unravel further the mysterious causes behind the effects observed in our minute portion of the Universe. What will happen when today's teen-agers grow up into a divided world? It is no wonder that they are regarded as a distinct social group.

Earthman is finding a new freedom in breaking the bonds of earth to travel the roadway to the stars. Russia's moon rocket traveled 343,700 miles out from earth, and circles the sun as an artificial planetoid every fifteen months. This is a marvelous feat in human engineering, but where is the source of knowledge, and how does a mysterious something called intelligent mind resolve complex equations that can send a vehicle that far from the earth? We might get this picture: Man trying to solve the mystery of creation when he is the greatest mystery and the answer to it.

Oh Man, in the mysteries of the Universe, you stand as a sentinel upon the sands of time, observing the incalculable wanderings of men, and the errant peregrinations of wayfarers across the valleys of life. You stand alone in the night, and your eyes wander across the imperceptible distances of space, and you see scattered throughout the inky darkness the light of ten trillion stars, and your mind makes a crude attempt to touch the Universal, to comprehend infinity, yet your mind is universal and infinite. You are bound in the shackles of mortal thought. Thus you are bound in a vehicle salient to the limitations of those thoughts.

Your computations and tabulations try to unlock the door of enigmas to the modus operandi of the universe when within your being lies the key, now dormant, but with each individual that finds this key a greater en rapport with the infinite vault of knowledge will ensue.

Man, the universe of matter, energy, space and time, is composed of magnetism, and you supercede this universe which expresses itself through an infinite variety of densities, phases and motions. You are Consciousness, differentiated from all other expressions in that your Being is aware, thus your verification. Man knows and others know not. Of course, though as someone once wisely said: "All the philosophy in the world will not get you anywhere if it is not used."

The following comments were sent in about the Family sees Flying Saucers on yesterday's blog.

Quote: "They look like you or me. They can speak English and they do it perfectly although in a sort of sing-song manner. They are tall and quite strong and they live for hundreds of years. They are much advanced in technology and keep such equipment in their aircraft as would amaze a world scientist by its material and perfection. I am not permitted to reveal what the instruments are."

"Where do they come from?" I asked.

"These particular ones come from "Venus," he said. "They have friends on earth like me, and they visit with us. Those of us who can believe have been selected by a process only they know. Sceptics are avoided. " I don't know how many times I heard this back in the 50s and 60s. It all matches up: their appearance like us; their sing-song speech; their long lives; and their strength. They also said they were from Venus. I am still baffled as I believed these people such as George Van Tassel and yet Venus is a hostile planet in that the conditions there would not support human life. So what is the answer? I have considered these possibilities:1) they lied about where they were from 2) they were from subterranean Venus 3) they are us from the future and terraformed Venus 4) they are from Venus, but not our Venus in our dimension who knows?

From Chapter 1 of my book, Alien Magic...

During one of the meetings in El Monte, I met Harry Mayer in 1959. He said that he had an encounter with a petite blond girl from Venus at Giant Rock. The girl's name was Mary. She wore a chocolate-colored ski-type uniform under a coat. Harry had sighted globes of light hovering over the Giant Rock runway and was chasing these on foot when Mary abruptly stopped him. Mary was only 5-foot 3-inches tall and Harry was 6-foot 4-inches tall, yet she arrested him in his tracks with the strength of many men according to Harry. Harry was a no-nonsense guy who had experienced something strange and was doing his best to persuade me to go to Giant Rock and assist him in contacting Mary once more. I never passed up a chance to visit Giant Rock so I went with him. Needless to say, we never made contact.

All these human visitors were described by various contactees, those who had written books, and many who had not. Their descriptions were remarkably similar.

From another "experiencer"

I can't imagine how these folks can be so fooled? The"ET's " can disguise their physical Looks ...Put any "IDEA" in our heads they choose to. They have total "MIND"CONTROL over us..... I think maybe if you came upon a CANNIBAL in the Jungle.. he would make friends first.. then get you to walk to his Village.. make you feel WELCOME. Give you food .. fatten you up.... then maybe months later..or even years later when he needed you for "HIS" PURPOSE.. You would be shocked to see his "PRIORITIES" are not the same as ours . We are their LIVESTOCK.. for experiments..or whatever they choose ..or need us for .

A young local woman named Ludmila Hmarina was sitting in her armchair and listening to music when suddenly some unknown force pulled her from the armchair and flung her against the wall, pressing her against it, face first. Naturally she attempted to resist the invisible force and then she heard a voice, “Stop struggling. Don’t resist!” An invisible force pressed on her chin from below. In a painful move her head was pulled back and she was now facing the ceiling. She was then amazed to see that the ceiling and the room had apparently disappeared. Instead of the ceiling she could only see endless black sky filled with stars. She could also see the face of a male humanoid looking upwards, frightened Ludmila asked the image who he was. The humanoid answered, “I am your friend. I have kept watch over you during your life”. The voice sounded inside her head, “You watched over me?” Ludmila asked? He answered yes that he had been watching over her all her life. Ludmila was angry and asked the man if he had watched over her even as she was taking a shower (?). “Yes” answered the huge humanoid face, with hovered in the sky without moving.

The face looked very strange; it appeared to be sharply vertically elongated, having a very narrow triangular-shaped chin. The skin was brown, seemingly covered by a layer of tanned skin. The alien’s forehead and eyes totally amazed Ludmila. The forehead was 3 times larger than the face, significantly wider on its upper section. The eyes were almond-shaped, unnaturally large and slanted---like an insect. The eyes lacked pupils.

Then a piquant picture appeared in front of Ludmila’s, she saw herself washing under the shower, and the alien watching her. Angry from seeing this, Ludmila then asked the alien if he even watched as she sat on the lavatory pan. The alien answer in the affirmative and Ludmila asked if he felt no shame. The alien apparently did not know that “shame” was and added that when Ludmila was about to die he would help her. She said how, and the alien answered that he would take her with him. At this point the face was covered with fog and vanished. Then the image of “space” also vanished. The ceiling then returned to normal and Ludmila was deposited back on the armchair again.

While attending his cattle 62-year old Aleksandr Kuzmich was cutting down a small oak tree by the fence when he saw something enormous similar to a cloud descending overhead. Terrified he raised his hands and screamed for God to help him. He became tired and vomited. Out of the cloud a huge sphere emerged and descended landing close to the witness. Three tall man-like figures exited the sphere.

As the aliens approached and greeted him, Kuzmich’s fear was unaccountably gone. He asked for permission to board the object and counted about 13 windows, 90 x 30cm rounded along the angles, along the perimeter of the sphere. As he stepped inside he heard a faint crack and the opening closed. Inside the object his body felt incredibly lighter.

Frightened again he yelled that he did not want to “fly” with them, that he only wanted to have a talk. A woman about 40 to 45 years of age now approached the witness and made him sit down on a soft air inflated armchair. At this point a discourse about death and life after death began. The witness was told that when a human died he continued on into another life, until its long chain of “sins” was expiated this process normally took about 1000 years (!). The terrestrial life of man was considered an embryonic state. Kuzmich asked if after death he would meet his dead relatives, the answer was yes. He asked about his dead son who had died 12 years ago. Five minutes later a door opened and his son (or someone very similar) walked in. Overcome with emotion Kuzmich ran toward his “son” crying and embraced him. They exchanged brief greetings and comments and his son mentioned that he was fine, kissed Kuzmich and walked out the same door. Kuzmich managed to peek into the room his son has walked back to and was astonished to see a verdant meadow with grazing horses and numerous young men, his son’s age attending to them. The door suddenly shut.

Wiping away his tears Kuzmich then asked the woman about the operation of the ship. She explained that due to humanity’s primitive state he would not be able to understand if told. She further mentioned that the people of earth do not have contact with nature, but the people from the “sky” live according to nature’s laws. She then spoke about magnetic fields and the power accumulators, apparently a simple device used to power the ship.

She then warned Kuzmich about future catastrophes awaiting humanity in the future. The witness then asked about the cosmos and at this point he felt a terrific acceleration and he felt fatigued. Slowly he approached a window and saw his village as the craft apparently approached it at high speed. Before leaving the object he asked permission to tell people about his encounter, the aliens said yes and pointed out to him that he would not be believed anyway. Apparently the witness had two further contacts.(Not described).

FAMILY SEES FLYING SAUCERS; FATHER TALKS TO PASSENGER
By Charles House

Somewhere along the shore of Lake Huron I found a story which I could not dateline without exposing my source to ridicule and perhaps contempt.

I had halted my little canoe and hiked overland to a filling station for gasoline. As usual, I was unkempt, bewhiskered and travel-stained. My appearance elicited from the filling station proprietor a little more than casual interest. He questioned me and I explained my mission. He then invited me to his nearby home for a cup of coffee and to meet his 12 year old son and his pretty wife.

After a general discussion of my expereinces, he asked me if I had seen any unidentified flying objects. I grinned.

LAND ON ISLAND

"Well," he said, "it isn't really so funny. See that island out there?" and he indicated a small island a few hundred yards off the shore. "That," he said solemnly, "Is a frequent landing place for a flying saucer."

His mien was serious, his attitude and his speech sensible. I questioned him further.

I must admit at this point that I have my moments of skepticism, but that I feel it is part of my duty to try to believe if my judgment tells me a statement deserves some objectivity. My informant had every indication of being a man of good sense and sound judgment.

SAW THEM FREQUENTLY

"Yes, I have gone out to the island to watch the flying saucers land and take off. I have seen them many times and so have my wife and my son," he said.

I glanced at them and got a nod of confirmation from each.

"Have you seen the creatures in the flying saucers?" I asked. Then he shocked me with an offhand statement. "I certainly have. I know one of them," he said calmly.

At my request he described the persons he said came so often in the UFO.

CAN SPEAK ENGLISH

"They look like you or me. They can speak English and they do it perfectly although in a sort of sing-song manner. They are tall and quite strong and they live for hundreds of years. They are much advanced in technology and keep such equipment in their aircraft as would amaze a world scientist by its material and perfection. I am not permitted to reveal what the instruments are."

"Where do they come from?" I asked.

"These particular ones come from "Venus," he said. "They have friends on earth like me, and they visit with us. Those of us who can believe have been selected by a process only they know. Sceptics are avoided.

WANT TO SPREAD PEACE

"What do they want here? I asked.

"They want to spread the peace--everlasting peace."

"Did you ever ask your friend why he did not make his objectives known to all of us who love peace and want peace?" I asked.

"Of course I have. But he told me that our people are not ready to accept them or their word. But they are vitally interested in our aims and attempts at interplanetary travel because anything which happens on the planet must surely affect all other planets.

WOULD PLANT FLAG

"If, for example, we sent a party to the moon, the first thing they would do would be to plant a flag and declare the moon to be the property of the United States. Now, if somebody already owns the moon our action would be considered warlike and inconsiderate. It is just such a thing as that in which the Venus people are concerned."

"Does your friend have a name?" I asked.

"Yes, he has a name," replied my informant, "but I am not permitted to reveal it. And it is not proper to call him my friend; he is so superior to me and to all of the earth's people that one is inclined to look up to and revere him."

ABOUT 25 ABOARD

"How many of these Venus people are aboard the UFO?" I asked.

"About 25," he said, "but I have not been permitted to speak to them, although I have seen them many times. Only the one who has spoken to me is the one with whom I have closest contact. You may have trouble believing that I have talked many times to him but you could believe my wife an my son. Neither of them would ever tell a lie deliberately.

The wife and son both solemnly stated that they had seen him conversing with a person who came out of a brightly illuminated UFO which landed a number of times on the small island off the shore of Lake Huron.

SITS WITH MOTHER

Later, away from the personality of the father, I asked the boy if he had indeed seen these things. He is a bright, intelligent young fellow and I might have been inclined to believe whatever he told me.

"Yes, sir," he said firmly. "I have seen my father talk to the man from the flying saucer many times."

"What do they talk about?" I asked.

"I don't know," siad the boy. "Mother and I usually sit in our boat just offshore of the island. We have a good view and we can see these people in their shiny clothes and always the same one talks to dad.

"I have never heard what they say. I think they talk about peace."

Perhaps they do.

NOTE FROM RICHARD HEIDEN: Unfortunately, I didn't get this article until after Charles House had died (he died March 29, 1978). But I did call his widow, on June 2, 1984. She had no personal knowledge of the subject of this article. In response to my question if she thought UFOs were real, she didn't know one way or the other -- she said she couldn't speak for him. By the way, when House later wrote for the Milwaukee Journal, he was a human-interest writer or a humorist, rather than a serious reporter.

The 18-year old witness, who had earlier felt a strange compulsion to leave for the weekend and rent a room at an isolated old hotel on the coast, was in her room, which overlooked the water, sitting on a chair, as it was getting dark. After about an hour she noticed a very bright light up in the sky that seemed to be moving in her direction. The bright object suddenly began to descend and began hovering very close to the window, only about 50 feet above the water. Then after an apparent time lapse, she found herself opening her eyes and now lying flat on her bed, it was now daylight and she soon was stunned to learn that two days had passed without her remembering anything. She went back home and as she sat in her room pondering what had happened, an avalanche of thoughts poured into her brain. She soon remembered that as she sat in the chair staring at the light she suddenly found herself onboard of what appeared to be a "spacecraft."

Disoriented she watched a group of "people" standing in front of her. There were two men and three women, the men were the closest to her, and the women just a few feet behind them. She described the humanoids as the most beautiful people she had ever seen. They all had jet black hair, and the most pearl/blue piercing eyes she had ever seen, their skin was extremely pale and their complexions flawless.

Feeling scared she reached into her hand bag and grabbed a pair of scissors, holding them in both hands straight in front of her, in a threatening gesture. She yelled at the "aliens" not to come any closer to her. The man nearest to her simply smiled, then very slowly began to raise his arm until it was straight out in front of him. The scissors that the witness was holding suddenly began to melt; each part of the scissors began to roll back in a curling motion, until they wound up in a very tight curl.

The man closest to her was the only one to speak and told the witness not to worry that they were not going to hurt her that they only needed to look at something. The same man told her that they needed to look at her hands. He then gestured for her to follow and walked on a corridor that had a slight elevation upside. After about 10 feet they reached what appeared to be an alcove or indentation on the wall. There was a small apparatus there that looked like a mirrored surface, 2' by 2'. She was asked to place her hands on top of the machine, as they needed to get a record. The man then walked down the corridor and left the witness alone. The man returned then gestured at the witness to again follow him down the corridor. They stopped beside a room and she was told to please wait there. Curious, she entered the room, and noticed that it was shaped somewhat like a half diamond, with slanting walls and ceiling. The entire room was an odd red/rust color. She then walked out of the room and followed the corridor in an upward direction. The corridor came up to a very large room, that was nearly pitch black, and the only thing in the entire room was a very comfortable looking recliner chair. She approached the chair and placed her hand on the armrest, immediately the room seem to change, and she felt "alone in the Universe." She repeated this several times but soon the now familiar man appeared and told her not to touch the chair again and to follow him, as she walked down the corridor again, she suddenly found herself on the bed back at the hotel.

Date: January 1978Time: evening

Don Gaspar and several other men were traveling by minibus during a business trip when they noticed a light on a nearby clearing on the side of the road. They stopped the bus and Gaspar ran towards the light. There was a sudden flash and Gaspar stopped on his tracks seemingly reduced to ashes (!).

Two figures exited the hovering light and using a device resembling a large aspirator (vacuum cleaner) absorbed what was left of Gaspar into what appeared to be a large aluminum bag. Somehow in this condition Gaspar was made to understand that he was going to be reconstituted onboard the object.

Soon he found himself in a room surrounded by a very white light, brighter on the top and more opaque towards the bottom. The room resembled a doctor's examining room with a single bed in the center. Gaspar met several man-like humanoids very similar to humans except for very subtle differences especially in the area of the hands. He was given a thorough examination that included his heart, head and genitalia.

A blond extraterrestrial female was later brought into the room and clearly communicated to Gaspar via telepathy that she wished to mate with him as part of an "experiment".

He was also told that human's life span was too short for their purposes. Soon he was returned to his friends, who were sleeping peacefully in the bus. Later as he stood around talking with them, his parka and several other belongings suddenly burst into flames.

Soon after the incident the witness' vision improved dramatically and a strange mark appeared on his forehead.

Location. Over Bass Strait, Victoria, Australia
Date: October 21 1978 Time: 1906

20-year old pilot, Frederick Valentich, was attempting to rack up flying time for his commercial license, flying his single engine Cessna 182 to King Island some 130 miles south of Melbourne Australia. He failed to touch down at the King Field airstrip on schedule. At 1906 his last radio transmission was received by Melbourne Flight Service Control on Saturday, October 21, which makes this disappearance unique (not quite) 1980 Humanoid Reports.doc in the annals of aviation history.

Just before his voice was abruptly cut off after making contact with Melbourne flight controllers, Valentich reported he could see four bright green lights---1,000 feet above his position: “It is approaching from due east toward me---it seems to be playing some sort of game---flying at a speed I find impossible to estimate…” And then: “It is not aircraft, it is…” Finally a long silence, broken when communication was initiated by ground control asking for an identification of the object in question. The young pilot’s answer: “It’s not an aircraft…” and the contact was lost---permanently.

The text of the radio message between the aircraft and ground control---for a time stubbornly withheld from the public---began when Valentich requested information on the other traffic 5,000 feet below in his vicinity. When ground control responded, assuring Valentich there was no other traffic in his area below 5,000 feet, Valentich went on to describe 4 bright lights: “They appear to be lights”. He radioed, “Aircraft has just passed over me, about 1,000 ft above”. He repeated that the aircraft was coming for him. Then ground control heard metallic scratching, which replaced the voice of the pilot. Valentich was not heard from again. According to the Australian Transport Department, the transmission ended 6 minutes after it began, at precisely 1912 when the pilot no longer responded to emergency calls from ground control. However, before the transmission was broken off completely, Valentich described how the object seemed to be stationary. “I am orbiting (circling) and the thing is orbiting on top of me also”, he radioed.

An intensive land, sea and air search was begun by the Australian Navy and Air Force, centered on Bass Strait, 130 miles south of Melbourne and 25miles north of King Island---the point of Valentich’s last radio contact. But the search failed to turn out any trace of the pilot or his aircraft. It was determined that weather conditions at the time of disappearance were ideal, with almost unlimited visibility and a mild breeze.

The pilot’s father Guido Valentich strongly believed his son was still alive---that he was being held by someone from another world. More importantly, the elder Valentich said his son had been interested in UFOs for many years and even reported sighting one about 10months before.
There were numerous other witnesses who called police that same night claiming to have seen a UFO on Saturday night. According to a Royal Australian Air Force spokesman, about 10 reports of UFO sightings were logged during the same weekend of the disappearance.

A witness, Stephen Villages, a Queensland man saw a long object hovering in the evening sky, he could definitely see four green lights which came from the craft’s underbelly. Similar accounts have come from Sydney, Port Jackson, New South Wales and Victoria all describing four bright green lights flashing across the Australian skies.

Five years after, a real bizarre development:

One evening in August 1982 near the village of Iman, Primorskiy kray, Far East, Russia Lieutenant Colonel Igor Valerianovich Kazantsev, Commander of a frontier guard detachment near the hamlet of Iman, received a report of a suspicious man arrested by soldiers from his unit near the Soviet-Chinese border. One of the soldiers, Nikolay D (later to become a resident of Sevastopol, Crimea) in 2003 wrote to the Simferopol based “Secret Doctrine” Newspaper, confirming that he took over the watch on that date to watch over the Russian-Chinese border.

Approaching evening near the foot of one of the hills they saw smoke from a fire and soon detained a man about 40-years of age, dressed in a cowboy shirt, thick wide trousers, outfitted with “complete tourist gear”. The man assured the KGB sergeant that he had the necessary permission from local authorities of Primorskiy kray to do some prospecting in the area. Orders were given to detain the mysterious “geologist”. He was taken to the unit duty officer. During a search the soldiers found a very powerful searchlight and a strange dark elongated object, like a small flask with two dozen dots printed on its upper section without any visible pattern. The dots formed a strange image. Nikolay D paid special attention to the strange dot-like markings on the object.

The stranger showed a document indicating that his name was Sarychev (possibly an AKA, real name being possibly V. Sosnin). He also showed a letter from Academician Vsevolod S Troitskiy, correspondent-member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Chairman of the Commission for Study of Anomalous Phenomena. (Such a commission did truly exist). The man stated that he was engaged in prospecting in the area, but soon admitted under the pressure of interrogation the he was indeed involved in “UFO research”.

The strange black flask or capsule attracted everyone’s attention. The man stated that he found the capsule at an altitude of 1204 (m over sea level). Inside the capsule a plate rolled like a tube was found. When the KGB officer extracted the plate, it immediately straightened up emitting a slight rustling sound. The plate had an English text, written with a substance bright orange in color. The text was later translated to Russian and following is an approximate translation:
“I am Frederick Valentich, Junior, pilot. I was captured together with my plane Cessna-182 by a UFO on October 21 1978 145 miles south of Melbourne. Because of very limited time and of extreme danger to my state, here is what is most important.

What was proposed to me was beyond my imagination. Later I came to the conclusion that several factors influenced my psyche, at first, the reality of the UFOs and their pilots, and secondly, their proposal for me to become the pilot of one of their aircraft (!).

Here is proof of contact with another civilization and the man who achieved this is I, Frederick Valentich. That was what I thought. But the most tempting was their fantastic proposal for me to stay in my same physical body, so I have not aged over my current 25 years of age (my age when I signed such a “contract” with the aliens). This proposal “eclipsed everything” even those few purely human affections I’ve had. At the moment of the deal I remembered only that my mother had died, I am single with no children. I didn’t even remember my aunt and two of my ex girlfriends I have been close with, this is additional evidence of a strong psychological influence put upon me.

The giant UFO I have to work in is a “cargo ship”. The crew, except those humans which were captured just like me, are 2-3 aliens. All belong to a civilization located in the Pleiades constellation and represent an interplanetary organization with 6 civilizations from Orion, Swan and the Big Dog constellation; our Solar system is also part of it.

Like us they’re also albumen organic entities, breathing oxygen and of similar body build.

Answering such questions like, what are they doing here, they stated on numerous occasions that they were engaged in research work. But according to my own observations that is only a mere screen covering their “real” activities and to calm the conscience of other earthlings who signed such compelling contacts like mine.

Our basic load from Earth---is liquid oxygen obtained from plants installed onboard the ship. These “researchers” impudently steal the most valuable part of Earthly atmosphere. And idiots like me are actively helping them in this. The main route of our craft—Earth and Jupiter’s satellite Callisto where a huge constantly operating base is located.

Oxygen is loaded into balloons made of plastic-metal. Volume can be estimated in weight---the large balloon weighs no less than 110 pounds, the smaller ones—2 times less than that. The maximum quantity of balloons that our ship has taken for one flight to Callisto is more than 12,000 large and 5k small balloons. Imagine how much oxygen they take from Earth! We make 2 flights per week sometimes. God help me and those who find this letter! Russian or Chinese---I ask to give this capsule to the Australian embassy and to the representatives of our embassy, give it to scientists for further study!!!”

To establish the authenticity of this material evidence, it was sent to several scientific research laboratories of the USSR for secret analyses. Results of the research exceeded all expectations. Documents with the results of the study were compiled, stamped and signed by the expert laboratory of KGB USSR, document dated September 29 1982. Institute of Astronomy of USSR dated October 10 1982. Institute of the Technical Physics USSR, Chelyabinsk-40 (nuclear military industrial center), and dated November 12 1982, all the documents were classified TOP SECRET.

Here is the opinion of a member-correspondent of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Dr. Nechai PhD, addressed to the special expert commission in the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. “The amazing physical and mechanical characteristics of the materials, their uncommon chemical compound and structure allow to make the following conclusions:

- …materials obtained by the technologies, unknown yet to humankind and apparently outside the Earth. The plate is the source of unknown radioactive emanation of colossal penetrating ability and spoils all other types of cinema and photo films…

- Many other facts, described by Valentich were summoned to the systematic analyses according to modernized authorship-detection program created in our institute. The result, the author, Frederick Valentich couldn’t invent all of that alone and even to extract that from known science fiction literature, actually being taken onboard a UFO in 1978…”

What happened to the material evidence next is the following. The mysterious plate was transferred to the Australian embassy. A special commission was created there; a graphic, logical study was made. Style and grammar of the letter was compared with other material written by Valentich, obtained from the Melbourne Air Club (like flight records written by Valentich). The Australian commission came to the conclusion that the text on the plate and the records in the flight journal from the Melbourne aviation club belonged to one and the same person---none other than Frederick Valentich. The evidence was so strong that it was ready to go to court.

Unfortunately for humanity the cover up was effective and everything was classified TOP SECRET, possibly with the participation of the American CIA. Where the alien capsule with the letter is now, is not known, possibly in the USA (in a deep basement under the Pentagon?).

Perhaps even more alarming is a case investigated by Spanish researcher Manuel Carballal. According to the testimony of a number of witnesses, a young man who identified himself as Frederick Valentich, the Australian pilot who mysteriously disappeared in 1978 was alive and well in 1990 at Plaza del Charco, a seaport square on the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Displaying an Australian passport to prove his claim, Valentich told those with whom he spoke on several occasions that he now belonged to a group of humans who had been “recruited” by extraterrestrials. It is also worth noting that the supposed Valentich showed no signs of aging, and resembled the photos circulated around the time of his disappearance at the age of 20.

Excerpted from "UFO Healings" by Preston Dennett

One condition from which millions of people suffer is infertility. Although not physically painful, this condition can cause untold mental anguish. Being denied the right to reproduce can be a devastating experience. Many people go through great lengths, including experimental and sometimes painful medical procedures, all for the chance of having their own child.

The aliens have shown an extraordinary interest in the human reproductive system. One of the central features of an extraterrestrial medical examination may be the removal of reproductive material after a UFO abduction. Under hypnosis, these women often remember a medical procedure in which a fetus was removed from their bodies. In later abductions they are shown these children.

One day, Doriel X. of Chicago, Illinois, saw a UFO. A short time later, two beings mysteriously appeared in front of her. The two beings said their names were Leita and Gamal, and said that they wanted to "incarnate" through Doriel. They told Doriel that she was "one of them" and that she would be perfect for bearing a child.

Unfortunately, Doriel had already been diagnosed with infertility. Her doctor had told her in no uncertain terms that she would never be pregnant.

Doriel was told by the aliens, however, that she would become pregnant in six months. Six months later, the aliens' prediction came true. Doriel was inexplicably pregnant. Nine months later she had a baby girl by natural childbirth. Because of the unusual conditions involving her baby's conception, she gave her the middle name of Lieta.

Doriel had no choice but to believe that the aliens cured her of her infertility. She has the child to prove it. And as she says in her own words, "Physiologically speaking, I had been told that I would be unable ever to become pregnant."

On November 28, 1980, police officer Alan Godfrey of the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Police Force in England was assigned to handle a peculiar problem. The station had received several calls about a herd of missing cows that had been seen in various location.

Godfrey had been twice commended for investigative work involving murders, so this assignment seemed trivial. On the way to find the cows, he encountered a "large object blocking the road." At first he thought it was a double-decker bus, but upon closer inspection he saw it was a metallic saucer-shaped object with colored lights hovering five feet above the road.
He tried to radio the station, but his car's radio was dead. Godfrey had no police training for such an experience, but he quickly realized he was seeing a UFO as portrayed in science fiction movies. As he sat there, sketching the object, Godfrey experienced a "jump in time." He found himself further ahead on the road, missing twenty minutes of time.

He rushed to the station and returned with several officers to the scene. Although it had been pouring rain all night, the area where the UFO had hovered was completely dry.

They found the cows in a fenced area in which they appeared to have been deposited. There were no tracks in the area and the gate was locked at nights. As Godfrey says, "The only way they could have gotten there is if something had gone plunk and dropped them there."(This is similar to the 19 cows found in a water tank that we previously ran in this blog.)

At first, Godfrey was ridiculed by his fellow officers, but when other officers in neighboring counties reported similar experiences, the ridicule seemed to stop. Godfrey then received ridicule from another source, his superiors. They advised him to simply resign. When he refused, his police car was taken away and he was given a bicycle.

Eventually, he underwent hypnosis and recalled some of his experience aboard the UFO. Godfrey's wife, upon hearing his experience, made note of a peculiar event. It seems that a year earlier, Godfrey was called to a local disturbance. He ended up being severely beaten by three individuals. During the beating, Godfrey was kicked in the testicles, causing him to lose one testicle. The end result was that he was unable to have a normal sex life and was no longer fertile. As Godfrey says, "I was also told I would definitely be sterile for the rest of my life. I would not be able to father children."

One night, a few weeks after the accident, Godfrey's wife was awakened by a strange sound over the house. She tried to wake up Godfrey, but inexplicably, he would not wake up. After a few minutes, the sound left. She never knew how to categorize the experience until her husband mentioned his UFO encounter. Only then did she realize what probably happened. She believes a UFO was responsible for the sound.

But it was the next morning that they realized something else unusual had occurred. Godfrey seemed to be completely cured. As his wife says, "The next morning, Alan and I made love for the first time since he was beaten up. And then I became pregnant."

Alan, however, became angry and assumed his wife was seeing another man. After all, he was sterile and his wife was pregnant. What other way could this happen? But just in case, Alan went to see the doctor. The doctor was stunned and said that Godfrey was miraculously and impossibly cured. As the doctor allegedly said, "I don't know how it happened. Your condition has been completely reversed. The test shows you're fertile, back to normal

A 40-year old woman named Larissa Galushko awoke in the middle of the night and saw a semi-transparent humanoid silhouette suddenly condensing in mid-air in front of her eyes. She looked closely and saw a man-like figure. Frightened she asked, “Who are you?” In response the man ordered in a booming voice, “Give me your hand.” She obeyed the order and slowly as if in a trance she stretched her right hand towards the stranger. The man touched her right palm gently, carefully and then melted away into thin air. Larissa felt the man’s hands and they felt dense.

Several days later the transparent alien came back. He stood for a long time near the head of Larissa’s bed. He stared at her silently. She felt awestruck as she watched the figure again dissolve into thin air. From that moment on his visits became regular; he was now visiting Larissa at least 2-3 times per month.

At one time another alien accompanied the first one, standing next to him shoulder to shoulder. The new visitor (alien) was dressed in a white loose-fitting garment. His head was either totally clean-shaven or completely hairless. He had Hindu features and was also semi-transparent. Larissa began to cry, pleading with the aliens to leave and to leave her alone. She asked who they were and why where they visiting her at night. The hairless “Hindu” in the white loose garment said, “We love you”. Slightly taken aback, Larissa said, “Where are you from?” The alien said, “From a parallel world. Planet Trion.” That having been said both aliens then vanished. After this contact the strangers visited Larissa 5 to 6 more times, but they did not speak anymore. They usually just stood near her ottoman and stared at her. They totally ignored her requests to leave her alone. Their last visit was around August 1990.

Date: January 9 1990
Time: late night

Deontologist, Ivan Naranjo, and two passengers were traversing a lonely valley when their vehicle, a Nissan jeep, began to experience engine trouble. The vehicle soon ground to a halt by the roadside as its electrical system went dead. Stranded in the middle of the Andean foothills, Naranjo was doing his best to get the vehicle in motion again when one of the passengers gasped involuntarily at what was taking place in the night sky. In the horizon, headed their way, was an amazing interplay of red, green and yellow lights, which did not correspond to any atmospheric phenomenon, they could identify. They watched in sheer astonishment as the array of colors lit the sky and grew closer, increasing in size as it closed the intervening distance.

Within seconds a huge disc-shaped device, was hovering unsteadily in the blackness over their heads. The object was out of control, and to their horror, about to crash land right on top of them. Naranjo and his passengers found themselves paralyzed by what he characterized as “muscular sluggishness.” Then suddenly out of nowhere, another massive disc-shaped craft appeared. Gliding into a space immediately above the dangerously wobbling craft, it fired a dense beam of white light at the vessel, stabilizing its erratic motion immediately. (That is similar to the Maury Island case here in Washington state.)

The surreal event became even more so as two humanoids emerged from the larger craft to ostensibly perform repairs on the now stabilized saucer. Soon the repaired saucer began spinning furiously on its axis, vanishing in a thick fog. The “rescue” ship vanished amid a powerful whirlwind that stripped earth, rocks, and dust from the surface below.

Exhausted by the ordeal, the shocked witnesses spent a night of fitful sleep in the wilderness. In the morning they were stunned to see a landscape that gave the appearance of having been blasted by divine fire; water ponds adjacent to the highway had been turned into grim puddles of mud, and the carcasses of small desert rats and lizards littered the landscape, roasted by some form of radiation. One of the passengers would later die of an unknown malady, possibly related to the strange energies released by the alien vehicles over the valley.

Gennadiy Kosushenko was watching news on television when suddenly everything in the room seemed to slowly dissolve away in plain sight, cupboards, couch, etc. Frightened he tried to grab the back of a slowly vanishing chair but his hands seemed to go right through it. A milky fog then enveloped his whole body. Soon a male entity appeared amidst the fog, standing only a couple of steps from the witness. The man was quite normal in appearance, nothing special. He appeared to have been about 40 years of age. He looked at the witness smiling. Inexplicably the witness became calm and was no longer frightened. He felt a strange tranquility inside him. The alien man began speaking directly into the Kosushenko’s mind, he could hear the voice but could not see the stranger’s lips moving.

The “alien” told the witness that he constantly controlled his behavior and then said, “We are your brothers and you are not a real resident of earth, but an agent for an extraterrestrial civilization”. The alien then added, “How do you feel in that unsuitable terrestrial body?” The witness answered that he felt fine that everything was normal. At that, the alien man vanished and the milky fog surrounding the witness slowly melted away. The room had now returned to normal.

The above cases courtesty Humanoid Sighting Reports, Albert Rosales

Greg Sandow

Summary: An abduction that, supposedly, was witnessed by two federal agents and the Secretary-General of the U.N. -- and that's only the beginning of the most unbelievable UFO case ever vouched for by a major UFO investigator. Could any of it be true?

What's the most unbelievable UFO claim of all time? Ufologists could pass an amusing afternoon debating that. Would it be the George Adamski saga, or perhaps the supposed installation deep under Dulce, New Mexico, where aliens are said to store human body parts?

But if I narrowed the inquiry, and asked for the most unbelievable story ever vouched for by a major UFO investigator, I can't imagine there would be much disagreement. It would surely be the "Linda" case, which Budd Hopkins describes in his recent book Witnessed. And when I call the case "unbelievable," I don't mean that we shouldn't believe it, though there are plenty of people -- including some ufologists -- who most certainly don't. Instead, I'm using the word in its most informal sense, the sense I'd use if someone told me that my elderly aunt had just become a race car driver, and I replied "Unbelievable!"

Consider what Hopkins asks us to accept. To begin with, he tells us that, for the first time ever, a UFO abduction has been witnessed. Linda "Cortile" -- a housewife who lives on the lower east side of Manhattan with her husband and two sons (Cortile isn't her real last name) -- was supposedly seen just after 3:00 AM on November 30, 1989, floating upwards from her apartment to a brightly glowing UFO, accompanied by three of the standard gray aliens. One witness (though this isn't published in Hopkins's book) even says he saw tears running down her cheeks.

And who were the witnesses? One, Hopkins says, was a retired woman he calls "Janet Kimball," who was driving across the Brooklyn Bridge toward Manhattan, on her way home to upstate New York after a late party. In letters, on the phone, and in person, she told him her car had stopped, and along with other drivers -- the scene she describes was quite chaotic, with people honking horns, and shouting in dismay -- she watched what she first thought was a movie being filmed, though she quickly realized that it couldn't be.

She sounds reasonable enough (Cortile's apartment is very near the bridge), but the other three witnesses send the case reeling into pretty wild territory. Two of them wrote to Hopkins, introducing themselves as New York policemen who'd seen the abduction from a car parked under the FDR Drive (a highway that runs along the east side of Manhattan), facing Cortile's building. That wasn't the whole story, though. Later they revealed that they were security officers, working for an unnamed American agency and guarding a man Hopkins describes simply as "an international political figure," but who is widely known to be Javier Perez de Cuellar, at that time Secretary-General of the United Nations.

De Cuellar supposedly saw the abduction, too, and with that one stroke the case seems to get even more unbelievable (though we might ask ourselves why de Cuellar should be any less likely to witness an abduction than any ordinary person). To make matters worse, de Cuellar allegedly wasn't the only top official there. Allegedly he and his guards were part of a group coming late at night from the heliport on Governor's Island (at that time a military installation in New York harbor). With them, in other cars, were (as one of the agents put it, with quaint capitalization, again in a statement Hopkins didn't publish) "two US Government officals [and] two foreign Statesmen," along with guards of their own. Hopkins doesn't know who these dignitaries were.

And now things get really strange. The two security officers, known only as "Richard" and "Dan" -- Hopkins says he never met them, doesn't know their last names, and knows their story only through letters and audio tapes they sent -- became obsessed with Cortile. They spied on her, showed up at her apartment, and even kidnapped her, spurred by a confused mixture of feelings -- fear for her safety, fear that she herself might be an alien, a sense of professional failure (shouldn't they have tried to stop the abduction?), and, finally, a need to be near Cortile, simply to prove that what they'd seen had been real.

Dan, who began to lose his emotional moorings, then kidnapped Cortile a second time, and might have raped her if Richard hadn't shown up to stop him. Earlier, however, he'd told Hopkins that he, Richard, and de Cuellar now remembered that they'd all been abducted along with Cortile. The aliens, Dan wrote, had telepathically identified her as "Lady of the Sands"; she'd held up a dead fish, and told the three men "Look and see what you have done." (In yet another unpublished tidbit, Richard later said that Dan returned from the abduction clutching the dead fish, and would have held onto it, if he hadn't been persuaded to drop it from the car's window.)
Cortile hadn't consciously remembered that. But under hypnosis she did recall the same details, and can be seen on video after her hypnosis, reacting with shock as Dan's letter is read to her.

One curious sidelight here, and yet another amazement in this case, is that Richard, Dan, and de Cuellar remembered everything without hypnosis. Richard, in fact, recalled a lifetime of abductions, and set off another bombshell when he told Hopkins that he and Cortile had been abducted together many times, beginning in their childhood. They had formed a secret, shadowy relationship, one that existed only on the alien ships, and had become lovers; Richard, who had never married, was convinced he was the real father of her youngest child. Cortile, duly hypnotized, remembered all this, too, right down to the pet names Richard said they called each other when they were with the aliens. Again her shocked reaction was caught on video (though she won't comment on her son's paternity).

Anyone who needs a pause right here -- to pour a drink, perhaps, or just to hyperventilate or scoff -- should take one. Why, responsible UFO researchers might ask, did things have to get this messy? Why did de Cuellar have to be involved? And must we have this tabloid love affair?
It isn't reassuring to learn that Richard (during his abduction with Cortile, Dan, and de Cuellar) saw the aliens processing samples of earthly sand, and brought some back with him. That 's another first -- the first time any abductee came back with anything from an alien ship. (The aliens should abduct trained security operatives more often.) Richard even was alert enough, he said, to snatch "before" and "after" samples, which, when examined with an electron microscope, allegedly show subtle differences.

We're also asked to believe that yet another abductee, called "Marilyn Kilmer" in the book, was separately abducted with Cortile, de Cuellar, and Cortile's younger son, Johnny. Allegedly, Kilmer identified de Cuellar from photographs (though not with complete certainty). She and Cortile described what they saw each other wearing, and here again there's a video, documenting their amazement as each correctly names what the other wears to bed that night.

But even now we're not quite finished. In what might be the strangest episode of all, de Cuellar had his driver stop his car while Johnny passed them on the street (Johnny then was nine), and asked Johnny if he'd like a present. When Johnny said yes, against his better judgment, de Cuellar arranged to deliver the gift, which turned out to be an antique diver's helmet! I've seen the helmet; it sits in ornate bronze splendor on a wall unit in the Cortile's tiny living room, unabashedly out of place among the photos and other items you'd expect a lower middle-class family to display. How do we know it came from de Cuellar? Because Hopkins showed Johnny photographs of distinguished older men, and Johnny picked de Cuellar's, without a moment's hesitation.

My assignment, if I accepted it -- and, rashly, perhaps, I did -- was to investigate all this, or more reasonably to conduct a preliminary inquiry (which is all anyone could do without writing a book as long as Hopkins's own). The question to ask was obvious. Could this -- any of it, some of it, even all of it -- be true? The stakes, I thought, were pretty high, because two things are immediately clear: -- The case is either real or hoaxed. There isn't any middle ground. We can't say, as we might in a normal abduction case, that everyone sincerely believes it's real, but suffers from some psychiatric syndrome. After all, we've got people saying that they watched Cortile's abduction. We've got Cortile corroborating tiny details Richard mentions. So either the abductions really happened, or the whole thing is a scam. Maybe Hopkins staged it all, or maybe he and Cortile contrived it, or maybe Cortile -- forging a dozen letters, and hiring actors to record Richard's voice and portray Janet Kimball on the phone and in person -- staged an elaborate drama for Hopkins. (Or maybe there's an outside chance that it's all the result of government mind control. Maybe Linda was brainwashed to believe in her abductions. But with no evidence that government operations of this kind really exist, I'd say this explanation is purely speculative -- and, in its way, just as exotic as believing that the whole thing took place as advertised.)

If these events really happened, this is the most spectacular UFO case of all time. It's also clear that there are some immediate problems. First, de Cuellar has denied he was involved. He denied it more than once, in fact, most recently in a fax to the PBS science show Nova (which was preparing its 1996 abduction episode), in which he said: "I cannot but strongly deny the claim that I have had an abduction experience at any time. On several occasions, when questioned about that matter, I reiterated that these allegations were completely false and I hope that this statement will definitely put an end to these unfounded rumours. [de Cuellar's spelling]"

Not that this denial means very much. If de Cuellar really was abducted, would we expect him to admit it? But still we have to note his statement.

Second, there's a major unanswered question. Why would American agents be guarding the Secretary-General? According to a United Nations spokesman, the UN has its own security force. If the Secretary-General travels to Washington, the spokesman said, the Secret Service would protect him (as part of its mandate to guard important foreign visitors), but never in New York. We can speculate that, on a late-night secret mission (especially, perhaps, on one instigated by the American government), these rules might be broken. But until a diplomatic or intelligence insider confirms that, we don't know that the relationship the book describes between de Cuellar and Richard and Dan is even possible.

Finally, the most crucial witnesses are unavailable. Apart from de Cuellar, the three known people who (supposedly) saw Cortile's abduction are Richard, Dan, and the woman Hopkins calls Janet Kimball. And, with one exception, the only people who've ever met any of them are Cortile and Hopkins. The exception is Cortile's husband, who supposedly met Richard on the street one Sunday morning, when Richard saw the couple on their way to mass and stopped to say hello. (One of Cortile's sons and one of her friends supposedly saw Richard and Dan, without meeting them.) But for reasons I'll discuss more fully in the second part of this report, Cortile's husband won't be part of my investigation. (He and Cortile are seriously estranged.) Which brings us back to Cortile and Hopkins. If we believe the case, we're believing what Cortile and Hopkins tell us. And since Cortile has made very few public appearances, has never been extensively interviewed, and has never even taken a polygraph test, we end up believing her only because Hopkins does.

Why won't Dan and Richard talk? Dan, to begin with, is out of commission. According to Richard, he suffered a mental breakdown, and was removed from the scene by the agency the two men work for. (Was he hospitalized? Imprisoned? Killed? We don't know.) Richard won't go public, he says because his career and, perhaps, his safety would be threatened.

In one more unpublished passage from his letters, he discusses the character Ben Vereen played in the TV movie based on Hopkins's book Intruders -- a military man who sees a UFO crash, and is hounded by the government when he tries to talk about it. This, Richard says, is what might happen to him.

As for Janet Kimball, she told Hopkins that her family disapproved of her involvement, and that she didn't want to talk to him again. I could call her, I suppose. I know her real name, and her address. But as a member of the UFO community I feel I should respect the privacy a UFO witness asks for. Besides, Hopkins told Kimball he'd protect her. Should I make a liar out of him? In any case, calling her might do no good. She might hang up on me, and then -- if she felt she'd been betrayed -- we might lose any chance that she'll someday change her mind, and talk more publicly.

Which leaves me feeling honest, but also helpless. Normally, in UFO investigations, you have to figure out if witnesses are accurate. Here there's a much more basic problem. How do we know that Richard, Dan, and Janet Kimball even exist?

Humongous about five time the size of our USN aircraft carriers.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude100 ft.

Description of Area / Surroundings Beach shoreline.

Full Description & Details

This event occurred at approximately 4:00 pm to 5 :00 pm on a Friday evening. I know that it was a Friday because I had to go to work the next day and because I remember it as being the start of my work week. I worked a weekend shift rotation while employed with the City and County of Honolulu HI. My previous employment was with the U.S. N. as a Radioman (Radiations And Directional Intercept Operations Manager). I had a very high Top Secret and Nuclear clearance during my 20 year career in the U.S.N. During my entire active duty career I had a couple of incidences that I will not reveal because I believe that they happened as a result of employment in the Navy. What I witnessed in Ewa Beach Hawaii however forever changed my mind about unexplained Unidentified Flying Objects.

I can easily identify U.S.N. and foreign navy aircraft carriers and how they operate. The object that I saw was about 5 times the size of our modern day Aircraft Carriers and was hovering about 5 feet over the water.

My cousin's house in Ewa Beach was approximately 100 ft away from the shoreline. We were sitting outside on a picnic table enjoying the cool Hawaiian breeze when I saw immediately right in front of me about 100 feet away the largest aircraft carrier that I had ever seen floating about 5 feet above the air. This incident lasted approximately 10 seconds.

When I was sitting on the picnic table I had my neighbor friend's 19 year old daughter sitting besides me. We were both sitting on the picnic table across and facing my cousin and her husband. When this clearly metallic looking craft suddenly appeared out of no where, the first thought that came to mind was the fact that there was no wind or air displacement that would normally be associated with immediate movement of such a large craft. I could clearly see the exterior of the gray metal iron works rivets holding the large sheets of 10 gauge metal sheets that comprise the makeup of a aircraft carrier.

The exception being that this particular aircraft carrier had a large approximately 10 foot high by 20 foot port window glass which clearly contained humans standing inside in a group and observing the Hawaiian scenery as if they were on a sightseeing tour. The group appeared to be a mixed assortment of men, women and children all dressed in civilian clothing. I do not think that they knew that I could see them. As soon as they realized that I could see them and that their masking/invisibility capability had failed them they all jumped away from the port window and the object/ship immediately zoomed away ala warp speed. Again there was no movement of air or sound of their departure.

I was in the Navy for twenty years and had never seen any UFO's. I served from 1972 through 1992. I have experienced being onboard a guided missile destroyer operating off the coast of Russia during the cold war and being buzzed by Russian Mig 21's and know what it feels like to have a jet's wind drag hit the ship and the concussion/explosion associated with the overflight of a jet aircraft buzzing right over our destroyer.

This is what was missing with the UFO Aircraft Carrier it did not have a winddrag or movement of air for such a large object. The air displacement for an object 5 times larger than our present day aircraft carriers would have started a mini tornado.

This event was also witnessed by a famous Hawaii Radio Talk Show host by the name of Larry Price. I know this because enroute to work the next morning I was listening to the Hano Hano Show and Larry Price asked his co-host Michael Perry to rate his credibility. At first Michael Perry kind of joked with him about his credibility but later realizing the seriousness of the question attested to Larry Price's high credibility and high standing in the community. Larry Price then shared his experience on the air and with the tourists that were part of thier Hano Hano Show that morning and later asked if any of the radio listeners had had any similar experiences to call in so that he could know that someone else had also witnessed the same thing. I did not call in, but there was another gentleman from the Isand of Maui that called in and admitted that he also had seen the same object. We all agreed to the appearance and disappearance of the object and its characteritics.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object? This object is not USN or manmade to my knowledge. But the occupants appeared to be humans.

Witness Background

USN twenty year career.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before, I believed that people who reported UFO's were dillusional. What I saw was not a saucer. But, it was clearly a UFO. As a result of this sighting I still think that people are dillusional. I DO NOT ENJOY, OR HAVE READ ANY UFO Literature. I do not watch or have ever watched any movies related to Star Trek, Battle Star Galatica or other Space HIGH SCIENCE Fiction type movies.

Other Comments

It is my opinion that this sighting was evidence of time travelers from the future visiting our present day. I now have an opinion on how time travel can occur. It has to do with magnification.

The witness a 68-year old pensioner named Ivan Nikanorovich who lived alone in a house at the edge of a large meadow. He woke up one night when his dogs began to bark furiously. He got up from bed, dressed and went outside. In the yard he noticed several very tall “people” about 3 meters in height. Upon seeing the figures the terrified Nikanorovich attempted to run but fell to the ground. Soon he fell under apparently hypnotic control of the “aliens” and began walking towards them, leaving his house and poultry pens unlocked. As they walked on the garden next to the kitchen the aliens spoke among themselves in strange squeaking sounds resembling that of dolphins.

At the end of the garden the witness saw a round object, shiny as the moon and about 12 meters high and 8-10 meters in diameter. The witness was so frightened that he did not notice any details on the object. Entering into the craft by ladder, he could see that the craft was bluish in color. Inside the craft he noticed a strong “violet” smell.

When he first saw the aliens standing near his wicket fence they were wearing spacesuits but as they entered the spaceship their suits were automatically peeled off. Nikanorovich saw two males and two females wearing sports style suits, made out of a strong wrinkle free material. The alien faces were human-like, but their noses were flat and protruded downwards. They had no bridge for their noses. Their eyes were large, round with eyebrows; they had small mouths and ears smaller than those of humans. Fine, sparse hair covered their heads. The faces of the female aliens were beautiful, with grayish color skin and short-cropped hair.

Two alien females approached the witness, took his clothes off, and examined him thoroughly. When they touched him he felt as if their bodies were the same makeup as those of humans. They had five fingers in each hand. Still, the witness felt mortal fear, afraid that he was going to be taken away forever and not survived their “experiments”. The aliens examined him, listened to his heartbeat, etc. Soon the aliens placed some metal clasps on his body that emitted clicking sounds. The witness could see red dots or lights appearing on the instruments in the room. Most of the clamps were placed on his fingers and then they measured the volume of his legs, chest. Soon they placed what appeared to be electrodes on his chest (EKG?) he could see on a circle-shaped device his internal organs. The aliens did not place any instruments on his head.

When the medical examination was over they dressed him and by gestures made him exit the craft. In the meantime the aliens communicated among themselves in high-pitched timbre voices. The doors of the spacecraft opened and Nikanorovich was descending down the ladder when the aliens pulled him up by his shirt collar and back into the spacecraft.

Resigned to his fate Nikanorovich was led into a room with a couch like object, where he sat down. Moments later he felt the spacecraft apparently rising slowly from the ground. They invited him to come and look out an oval-shaped window and he saw the earth from a very high altitude with thousands of small specks of lights scattered beneath, apparently cities. But the whole marvelous panorama vanished in a few seconds. They were flying in space at unbelievable speed, but strangely no one in the room felt any effects. He was able to stand up and walk about the room.

In the room he could see what appeared to be a main control console with two screens on one of the walls. One screen was about 3 x 5 meters, the second smaller. The craft seemed to approach many planets (probably in our Solar System), and in minutes the small dots in space suddenly transformed themselves into huge bodies in the sky. He could see all this on the large screen that seemed to be more active than the other one.

He saw a container with transparent liquid, which tasted like ordinary water. They explained to him by gestures what buttons to press if he would like to have a drink. At this point Ivan’s fear had vanished, as he realized that the aliens meant no harm and apparently had good intentions. Gradually, he began examining everything around him with interest. Besides the main control panel in the room there was another panel in the room where the male aliens constantly sat around. He could see many devices installed on the walls and on the ceiling. Most of the equipment was covered with “panels” which moved aside as any of the alien crew attempted to check something on it.

All the rooms inside the spacecraft emitted an even bluish light, and some buttons and levers shone so brightly that it was difficult to look at them.

Ivan was amazed by a meteor “catching” system onboard the alien craft, when they encountered huge rocks in space the craft was able to evade them easily while the smaller rocks were collected in a special container that opened and closed automatically. During the flight, Ivan counted five such captured “meteorites”. Most of the flight Ivan remained in that one room, but he was allowed to visit other areas in the craft, even the special crew compartments.

At one point he fell asleep and was suddenly awakened by one of the aliens and was called over to one of the screens. On the screen Ivan could see an endless desert with many scattered rocks and deep craters and fissures on the ground. Apparently that was the first planet he saw. They passed by it at high speed without touching down.

He sat down on the “couch” and soon sensed the spacecraft smoothly landing. The aliens then placed a spacesuit on Ivan, which was completely hermetical with many tubes jutting out from it. Three windows were present on the suit for viewing purposes. The aliens had spacesuits of a different design, with one glassy window-like opening. Ivan moved out following the aliens thinking that they wanted to leave him there.

Outside Ivan could see small humanoids, standing on a meadow and by a river. These small humanoids were not afraid and did not run away. The faces of the little men were round, good looking and child-like. Their bodies were covered by fuzzy hair and they had wing-like protrusions on their backs, commensurate to their height. Their maximum height was about 1.20m. Their wings were feather-like, slightly tilted upwards. They had doll-like faces. Their color was mostly white with brown patches. These small entities also possessed hands besides the wings, and legs. However none of them were flying as Ivan arrived; they were walking near the river. Ivan watched the strange humanoids for a while until he was guided back into the spacecraft by the aliens.

While on the spacecraft Ivan felt rejuvenated and energized, he moved around easily and his chronic leg pain had completely vanished. When it was time to eat the aliens invited Ivan to a table where two alien females and a male were sitting. The food was prepared by the females, which consisted of many tasty dishes inside cans, plates, etc. The food was very tasty and resembled terrestrial cuisine. All meals ended with very tasty drinks. After eating Ivan usually felt drowsy and usually sat and rested on the couch.

He visited a second and third planet which was very rocky, with stones resembling gold, silver and precious stones that covered its surface. The aliens again put a spacesuit on Ivan before walking onto the planet’s surface. He did not see any living creatures on these planets. Ivan thought that possibly this planet was used as a source for the aliens to build their spacecraft. He did not touch anything on the surface.

Their stop on the planet was very short and soon they continued their flight until Ivan was again called to the control room where he saw a new planet, entirely covered by water. He then sat on the sofa again and some time later the aliens called on Ivan to come to the screen again where he saw a surface covered with smoke and fire and was difficult to discern.

They soon landed (twice) on a fifth planet where Ivan saw terrible sights and thought that if humans did not change their ways this type of future was awaiting them. Ivan saw a destructed city without a living soul around. He saw numerous bones scattered around. None of the houses had any doors or windows and there wasn’t a bush or blade of grass around. He also saw the bones of great huge animals no less than 5 elephants in size.

Later they again landed twice on a sixth planet, which was a complete opposite of the previous one. They exited the spacecraft without donning the spacesuits. Ivan was surrounded by indescribable beauty, dense forests, rivers and a sea visible afar. He could see many animals but no people. He thought that maybe this planet was like a “farm” for the aliens. So Ivan asked, “Do you have animals resembling those we have on earth?” He was told that they had animals similar to the ones on earth but also many with substantial differences.

The next planet, number 7, was the alien’s home planet. The alien females exited the spacecraft there and Ivan did not see them again. He was accompanied only by the two alien males. In the alien planet Ivan felt youthful and agile and was easy for him to walk. The smell of lilac was present in the air similar to the smell onboard the spacecraft.

At first the aliens led Ivan into what they called a church or place of worship. Inside the church he saw several elderly men standing side by side with young men. He could hear a chime and a loud melodic choral singing. All seemed to be praying. The church appeared remotely like a terrestrial church.

But the living quarters or buildings were radically different from those on earth. All buildings were topped with cupolas. Every resident of the planet had its own flying apparatuses. Ivan did not see any other kind of transportation there. The inhabitants only used their flying machines for long journeys and enjoyed walking more.

Everything on the planet was beautiful and well groomed. (Like Disneyland?). Everywhere Ivan went he was greeted with calm restraint, there was no apparent excitement. All the humanoids in the planet were tall, about 3 meters in height. He felt like a Lilliputian among them. He received the impression that the average lifespan in this world was very long, but that they eventually perished.

Ivan was then taken to a beautiful cemetery. He also noticed a common practice among the aliens, one that consisted of each one giving each other food gifts. He was given a big beautiful fruit resembling an apple. He attempted to hide this apple-like fruit and bring it back to earth as proof but the aliens did not permit it. He was made to eat it in view of them.

After church Ivan was taken on an excursion to a “milk-production” plant. There he saw mountains of what looked like cheese and butter. At this plant only one alien seemed to be in charge by pressing certain buttons, the rest was done automatically.

After a short visit Ivan was brought back to the spacecraft, which was still at the same location. While returning back to earth, the spacecraft performed a short stop. They left the ship clad in spacesuits and appeared in place enveloped by a dense fog. Through the haze Ivan could see bright white lights all around, their source unknown.

Later when he entered the craft he heard someone calling his name. The sound was very clearly heard through the helmet of his spacesuit. He turned around and saw his two sisters, both who had died many years before, Zina and Nadya. They both looked very young. They gave Ivan pastry and guiding by their hands took him aside where they told him that his father and grandparent still lived. Ivan wanted to go and look as his relatives but his alien guides did not permit him to do that. Ivan also saw his neighbor who had died recently. He appeared to be carrying some pieces of wood or boards. The figures of his sisters seemed semi-transparent but upon touching them they felt like normal humans. They had normal colored pink skin. Ivan then asked where his mother was. They then told him that they had taken great offense towards her since she never came to visit their graves in the cemetery (!). They added that she had been taken somewhere else as a form of temporary punishment. Ivan then saw a large beautiful meadow where his father and grandfather were pasturing sheep. At this moment the meeting with his dead relatives was over, the aliens did not allow Ivan to have a detailed conversation with his “dead” sisters.

From there he was taken straight home. When the spacecraft silently landed Ivan at first thought that they had landed on another planet, but as soon as the hatch opened he noticed his native country immediately. They then brought him to the same place he was originally taken from. Ivan does not remember how he got back home but without realizing how, the aliens were already gone.

Later Ivan noticed that the snow had melted in the place where the spacecraft had landed, and a dark spot approximately 3 meters in diameter was visible. For three days after “returning” Ivan did not eat anything, and became very ill. His whole body ached, including his muscles. He remained in that state for a long time. At one point he thought he was going to die. In a month he developed a severe itch in his skin.

Comments: By far the most incredible story out of the former Soviet Union in that incredible year of 1990. For a simple Russian peasant it was almost totally impossible to imagine something as fantastic as this story. Apparently the author personally investigated the case.

Some people don't believe in UFOs or Bigfoot creatures at all, and those who do can't even agree on the theory of their origins.

"It's not up to us to make any judgments on anybody's ideas," Gordon said, "We're trying to deal with things more as a scientific phenomenon to find evidence that those things (that are being reported) are out there. We're still looking for the answers of what this is all about."

At one time, the United States Air Force actively investigated reports of UFOs in operations called Project Sign and Project Grudge. "They later wound up being called Project Blue Book," Gordon said. "In 1969 they dropped all public level of UFO research and stated that the government has no interest in UFO reports. However, through the Freedom of Information Act, I and other researchers around the country have obtained many documents from major agencies such as the Air Force, CIA, FBI, NORAD and the NSA that show there have been many cases of UFO investigations through the late 1980s. Ther are still reports coming in."

Gordon admits that no one has ever found a Bigfoot carcass, nor captured nor shot one. Likewise, there has been no documented recovery of an unidentified flying object, nor of any alien life force. But Gordon's not so sure this is even possible, not the way that these mysterious things seem to disappear. (Note from Leneesa. The statement preceding is not true. I have seen a dead Bigfoot that Ivan T. Sanderson studied in depth and wrote about. This one had been shot and it was found in a block of ice in the Bering Sea and it had blood in the ice that came out of its head.)


"If these were normal flesh and blood animals, we'd have some definite evidence by now," he said. All they have are footprints, and numerous reports from people who are considered normal, reliable and not prone to hysteria. In fact, they're usually reluctant to even talk about their experiences. It's not easy to tell someone that you've seen a flying saucer, or that you believe you've been aboard one. Yet there are people who sincerely believe that this has happened to them.

Incidents with UFOs are classified in three levels. A close encounter of the first kind involves the sighting of an unexplained aerial object within 500 feet. These are by far the most common. Take for instance the persistent UFO that a prominent Westmoreland County man encountered at about 11:55 p.m. August 30, 1983, on Route 217 between Derry and Kingston Dam (on Route 30). "There were some lights and he looked up and saw an object above his vehicle," Gordon said. "He heard sounds like 'whoop whoop whoop' and the noise was so intense that it vibrated his body from head to toe. He was frightened."

The man kept his car moving so that it passed under the object, but it went ahead of him above the road so that he had to drive under it again. Then it moved ahead of him so that he passed under it a third time before it disappeared.

"He described it as 100 to 300 feet in diameter and it stretched across both sides of the road," Gordon said. "There were many lights, glowing amber, and when he passed under it he had a claustrophobic feeling like being closed in. He described it as feeling like going into an underground parking garage."

If anyone else saw this object, they didn't report it. But several persons individually observed and subsequently reported a UFO sighting on February 10, 1988, near Blough, a village near the borders of Somerset and Cambria Counties. The sightings occurred between 7:45 and 8:30 p.m. over a creek near Hooversville. Three cars stopped and the occupants watched a lighted craft send down about a half dozen laser type lights onto the treetops in the woods. It hovered noiselessly, as if there were no propellors nor engine. They said it was about 50 to 60 feet long by 25 feet wide, and it looked like a shiny metallic football. There were two rows of steady lights. In the distance, there appeared to be another circular shaped object in the sky.
Then at 8 p.m. a motorist going over the nearby McNally Bridge saw something rise from below. Another person near Davidsville saw a small silent "ship in the sky," about 20 feet in diameter with blinking lights. He drove to a rise in the road to get a better view, but it disappeared.

A woman driving her car on Route 220 near Altoona had not only a sighting but also what she claimed was an indirect encounter with a UFO. It was about 8 p.m. October 15, 1983, and as she approached the Bellwood turnoff she became aware of a loud whirring sound. Through the right window she observed a bright, silvery, saucer-shaped object about 24 feet in diameter and 30 feet off the ground.

As it passed over to the left, the right side of her car lifted about two to three feet off the ground. She grabbed the steering wheel and tried the brakes but there was no response. The headlights were blinking off and on. The car went down for a second, came back up, then thudded back to the ground, stalled and wouldn't start for 20 minutes. Gordon later learned that others claimed to see UFOs in the area at the same time.

Close encounters of the second kind leave some sort of physical evidence, like broken tree tops, burnt areas on the ground or in more recent years, the mysterious "crop circles" that have appeared all over the world.

At about 2:30 p.m. September 2, 1989, a man near Ebensburg saw an unidentified craft hovering noiselessly over his pond 50 feet from where he stood. It was about 30 feet off the ground, 15 to 20 feet long and 8 to 10 feet high. "He said it was more spherical in shape, with a silvery upper part and underneath it was orange red," Gordon said. "In the center were glass-like structures, like amber windows, and there were yellow-green ligts and protrusions from the sphere."

The witness saw a mist coming down from the craft. It suddenly moved "like a hummingbird" and was gone. The whole sighting lasted about 45 seconds. He then found that a grassy area about four feet tall had been swirled down in a 12-foot circular pattern, counterclockwise.
In 1990, similar types of circles made news around the world and in the states but there was no media coverage of a series of circles in rural areas of southwestern Pennsylvania. In a Washington County field, a farmer found three rings arranged within each other like a target. The circles measured 54 and 40 feet, with a smaller circle in the middle. The other incident happened in August near Chicora, Butler County. Those three circles, measuring 32 to 33 feet in daimeter, were interconnected in an oat field. In both cases, the crops were swirled without the stems breaking, unlike being trampled, and there were no tracks into the area.

Gordon believes that the farmers' insistence on anonymity supports their sincerity. They had nothing to gain by making bogus reports. Furthermore, when he and other PASU team members were investigating the Butler County incident, no less than three separate individuals videotaped a spinning top-shaped object hovering nearby.

Close encounters of the third kind involve an unknown object accompanied by some type of life form. This is the most rare type of incident, but also the most frightening.

"There have been sporadic reports of occupant sightings in Fayette, Indiana. Butler and Westmoreland Counties," Gordon said. "We've had alleged abduction reports over the years, and we get numerous people who call us about their missing time experiences, most for which involve having seen some type of UFO."

Some people claim to consciously remember certain details of being taken aboard UFOs. Others recall details under hypnosis. The lifeforms they say they encounter appear to be humanoid, and the universal description is the same: three to four feet tall, abnormally large heads, very often with large and usually slanted eyes. Witnesses report undergoing physical exams that include probing and tissue sampling, and they frequently have little scoop marks in their skin. Others are later plagued by unexplained physical and emotional symptoms.

"These encounters have a major effect on their lives, and it varies from positive to negative," Gordon said. "Some people develop emotional problems from dealing with their encounters. People are very reluctant to talk about this because they're afraid people will think they're crazy. But when they realize others have gone through what they have, they're able to go through it much easier."

All of the cases pose more questions than there are answers, and Gordon doesn't claim to have explanations for any of them. He just knows that there are things going on that defy logic as we know it, and are yet to be understood.

Long before recorded history, the Loyalhanna Creek formed a gorge through the foothills of the Laurel Highlands between what is now Latrobe and Ligonier. The hills and creek bed are littered with the rough remains of thousands of years of erosion on sandstone, and the natural beauty of this area is nothing less than majestic. In all seasons the trees, the rocks and the scenery intrigue travelers on Route 30.

The highway is divided in that stretch in two lanes east and two lanes west. The Sleepy Hollow crossing, halfway between where the road splits and rejoins, is a quick way to change direction. The causeway is also a good place to stop and linger for summer picnics or for fishing clear waters.

At around 11:30 p.m. May 15, 1988, Sam Sherry of Ligonier RD1 pulled into the area to go night fishing, like he'd done many times before.

"As soon as I got out of my car I could sense something was wrong," he told the Scene magazine. "I could sense something there, something unusual and it was watching me."

Sherry has been training coonhounds for years and considers himself a seasoned outdoorsman.
"I've been in the woods for 50 years, and I know everything in the woods," he said. "If I see a track, I know what animal made it."

But, he didn't know what was making a commotion near the causeway. There was also a bad odor in the air. Curious, he turned on a big flashlight and found himself looking into a pair of red glowing eyes.

That night, Sherry's half century in the woods didn't do him any good. This wasn't a bear. It wasn't a big cat, nor a dog, nor anything he'd ever seen before. He said, "The face was pretty much human looking, but it looked real old and wrinkled. The lips were puckered up, and it didn't have any teeth. It was breathing real noisy, wheezing and slobbering and spitting and this wheezing going on down in its chest."

They were just 25 feet apart, and man and creature began taking steps closer to each other. Then Sherry turned to go back to his car, but by then the creature was so close that he could feel its breath on his neck and smell the terrible odor, like rotten fish.

"It brushed up against me, into my elbow, and it grabbed at my clothes and let go," he said. Just before Sherry got into the car, the creature put its arms on Sherry's shoulders, then dropped them. The man got into the car and the creature continued to stand there, very erect. As Sherry pulled away, he could see it raise one arm.

Two years later, he can laugh about that gesture, "I thought he was waving bye-bye," Sherry said, "but I learned that a lot of people say that they'll put one arm up."

"They" are the Bigfoot creatures, and Sam Sherry, until then an unbeliever, drove away knowing that he'd seen something well beyond unusual.

"While I was standing there studying the creature, it occurred to me that I had a problem, that I can't tell this to anybody because nobody would believe this," he said.

But he soon told the story to someone who told him about Stan Gordon, director of the Pennsylvania Association for the Study of the Unexplained based in Greensburg. Gordon came out to the site and so did John Micklow, a retired Latrobe police office who volunteers with PASU.

What Sherry said he saw was nothing new. Each year, dozens of reports of Bigfoot creatures and unidentified flying objects are made to PASU. Although the cases are no longer making headlines, plenty of people report chilling incidents that can't be explained. Many of them have taken place in the Laurel Highlands, particularly along the Chestnut Ridge, which has become known as Pennsylvania's Twilight Zone.

"That ridge seems to have a pattern (of sightings) for what reason, I don't know," Micklow said. "Maybe it's because it's pretty wild up there and not heavily populated. If there's any other reason, I don't know what it is."

Alleged UFO and Bigfoot sightings have been known since the worldwide flap of 1973. Then, it made big news. Now there are few media reports, but that doesn't mean the sightings have stopped. Gordon emphasizes that the witnesses are average people and most of them hesitate to tell anyone what they've seen for fear of ridicule. It's the guaranteed anonymity that allows them to finally get in touch with PASU, often through referrals from the police.

The details from local sightings and from all around the world are always strikingly similar. In the case of the creatures, they're usually tall, hairy, ape-like, have glowing red eyes, are often foul-smelling, and sometimes emit screams that have been described as sounding like a woman in pain. In the case of UFOs, they come in all sizes, from small enough to fly through windows to bigger than a house. They can hover or flit around quickly. The creatures and UFOs have also been known to suddenly disappear.

The spring of 1990 was a particularly busy time for Bigfoot reports in the Laurel Highlands. On the ridge above Youngstown (near Latrobe) a witness said that for the last several springs he and some neighbors had been hearing high-pitched screams at night.

"He's hunted all his life and he lives on a farm, right next to the woods," Micklow said. "He knows just about everything that comes and goes through the area."

What he heard was nothing he'd heard before, and what he finally saw was unlike anything he'd ever seen. On this night the screams were so close to the house that he couldn't resist investigating. It was about 3 a.m. when he and his son went out and scanned the yard with a flashlight. There at the edge of the field was a small, hairy ape-like creature standing upright and staring back at him with intense red eyes. Unlike most reported Bigfoot creatures, this one wasn't very big. The witness estimated it to be only about three and a half to four feet tall.
"I froze," he told Micklow. "It just let out a scream and I shut the light out and didn't know what to expect. I just shut the light off. The hair on the back of my head stood up, that's how scared I was."

The man heard it one more time on another night, and woke up his wife. Until then, she never believed there was anything out there. Now she's changed her mind.

In another sighting that spring, a man going night fishing at Donegal Lake pulled into the parking lot, walked to the edge of the water with his little dog and 15 minutes later the dog began barking and twirling around. When the man got up and shined his light behind him, he saw a huge hairy creature just 50 to 100 feet away. It let out three shrieks then turned and walked into the woods. The man gave the usual description: hairy and ape-like, but he estimated that it stood seven feet tall and wieghed about 400 pounds.

"He was frightened," Micklow said. "He ran to his car and went directly home, about a mile away, and called the state police, who directed him to us."

In 1988 there were high-pitched screams in a series of incidents near Laughlintown, but the man who heard them said they happened about 4:30 to 5 p.m., not at night.

"He couldn't figure out what it was, but one afternoon he was walking around and heard where it was coming from," Micklow said. "He knew this wooded area like the back of his hand, and he stood there for about ten minutes looking over the hill."

At first he couldn't see anything, then about 100 yards ahead it looked like a stump where he knew he hadn't cut down any trees. Then the "stump" started moving away. PASU has tape recordings of alleged Bigfoot screams. When Micklow played one, the man said that's what he'd been hearing for a week.

A year or two earlier, a woman who lives on the ridge west of Derry heard similar screaming, but thought her horses were carrying on. Several nights later she heard the sound again, looked out the window and saw a Bigfoot type creature walk through her yard, cross the electric fence and go into a wooded area.

Micklow has never seen anything himself that couldn't be explained, but he believes there are some things that just aren't natural. Yes, there are hoaxes, like when someone fabricated footprints at the Sleepy Hollow causeway after media coverage of that reported sighting. But PASU experts can tell when tracks are faked. Real footprints leave impressions of muscle and tendon surfaces, and weight distribution.

"We don't go in with the idea that we're dealing with a hoax," Micklow said. "We go into the investigation with an open mind to determine all the facts, and we try to determine if (the incident) is really something natural."

Many times people see big dogs or bears, or objects in the sky that are explainable natural phenomena or man-made. But there's still that intriguing percentage of unexplainable incidents, such as in January of 1990 when an Oak Grove resident (near Ligonier) taking the family dog out at night found eight three-toed footprints in the snow, five and a half feet apart.

There were nearly 70 five-toed prints left in the snow during a blizzard-like storm on February 13, 1985. At around 6 a.m. several persons traveling a road on the Derry side of the Chestnut Ridge noticed what they initially thought were bear prints. However, these impressions were 15 inches long, nine inches wide and showed a stride from 48 to 65 inches. PASU investigators followed the tracks for a distance, but the severe weather halted their efforts.

Were the impressions left by a known mammal, or once again had something unexplained happened on the Chestnut Ridge? And what was it that on April 16, 1989, on the southern end of the ridge in Fayette County, disturbed the farmer's livestock and caused his dog to act strange? The witness swore it was a huge, 8-foot tall hairy manlike creature that ran, then easily cleared a high fence at the edge of a field.

Indeed, what are these people seeing, and what's leaving behind the footprints?
"We just present the facts," Micklow said. "You can draw your own conclusions."

By Tom Dongo
Paranormal Investigator

Several years ago, I came across what I would consider to be one of the all time most unique events in the annals of UFO, alien and paranormal encounters. These events include three completely different races, or types of extraterrestrials, flying orbs of light, human abductions by aliens and black witchcraft. And I suspect that-somehow-all of these encounters had a common thread. They were interconnected.

These anomalous events took place near the center of the Navajo Nation in the winter of 2003. Unfortunately, due to obligations in Sedona (AZ) I have not been able to follow up on this other than to stay in contact with the key participants involved. They are all full-blooded Navajos.
There are five people primarily involved. I have to include here that even though they exist at the poverty level (58% of Navajoes live-below-the poverty level) as do unfortunately many Native Americans, I early on found them to be exceptionally intelligent and focused people. I have no idea of the extent of their formal education, neither do I care nor have I asked.
The whole thing began for me when my close friend, Peter Gersten (UFO lawyer, Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, etc.) told me of an incident that had recently taken place on the Navajo Nation. Many of Peter’s clients are Navajo.

After hearing the story, I was intensely interested. And as I have said in several of my lectures around the west, the weirder it is, the better I like it.

We got specifics as to names and locations, made some contacts, loaded our gear and five of us piled into a SUV and drove up to the site. It was mid winter and nights on the Navajo Reservation can be harshly cold. I brought along the heaviest cold weather gear I own and in one hour of standing outside my hands and feet and exposed skin were numb. And I grew up in Maine where at times twenty below zero can feel warm.

I had, days before, heard some of the superficial details of the strange occurrences. But after a period of conversation with the Navajoes we got the story in its entirety. I am generally accredited as being an international expert in the UFO/alien/paranormal arena and what these people were telling us had my attention riveted. I had never run across anything quite like it in twenty-five years of research. Early on I conceded that they were not lying or simply making the stories up just to have a little fun with some white folks. I had been in the past caught up in many a hoax and this was not one. They were telling the story exactly as it happened with no embellishments.

For example, I asked one of the Navajo girls (who incidentally had such stunning beauty and poise it struck me that she would be a perfect poster girl for all Indian nations) what impressed her as being the strangest thing about the extraterrestrials. She had just told me that on numerous occasions she had encountered one particular species of alien, beginning when she was very young. More on that later.

Without a moments hesitation and with great excitement she replied, “Oh!...Their hands!!” “Their fingers were VERY long and looked like they were made of rubber!!” With that I was 100% convinced, because outside of some extraterrestrial’s large round or almond shaped eyes the hands of at least one humanoid race is the most fascinating to humans in face-to-face encounters.

By the way, even though there are rumors, I have never come across any even remotely credible evidence of non-humanoid aliens. They all are humanoid, one head, two arms, hands, two legs, feet, etc., and some super advanced human races resemble us so closely that you could sit next to one of them at Burger King and you would not notice anything unusual. I have personally heard some utterly incredible and wonderful visitation stories from a number of normal, average people who have met some of our brothers and sisters from “Out There.” It’s what keeps me in this crazy, confrontational and controversial business.

The peak of the Reservation activity happened in the mid-winter of 2003. It went on for about three and a half months. The great misfortune is that there were no experienced UFO researchers in the area with recording equipment who could have documented a potentially world altering event. The Navajos involved knew next to nothing about established “mainstream” UFO literature or films and knew of no one to call except the local police. After several weeks they finally called the police, a number of times, for someone to please come out and see the phenomena for themselves. The experiencers were by now becoming fearful and desperate. The police at first blew them off as screwballs and gave some superficial promises. Finally, after seeing some of this activity themselves near their station several police officers went out to the location. They were as a result quite shaken at what they witnessed. It was exactly as the callers had been reporting.

Navajo Nation Police were contacted soon after by a researcher but the police would not say who the officers were or what they had seen. No police report could be found-they said. To a UFO researcher this scenario is an endlessly broken record. “Somebody” it seems, always gets to witnesses first in extremely impactful cases and makes the witnesses an offer they can’t refuse. This becomes almost a certainty when cell phones, police radios or distant computer databases are involved.

The entirety of this story is the following. I am not revealing the exact locations or the real names of the people involved to protect the site and the fragile privacy of the people involved. I will call them Mike, Patty, Larry, Rachel and Billy. Many, if not most, full-blooded Navajos have taken English or Spanish names too in order to integrate better with the outside world. Some still keep their Indian names also.

Where the five experiencers live is barren, high desert with patches of scrub brush here and there and with a smattering of pinion pines scattered about. In the far distance a few white mobile homes or earth tone native hogans can be seen. The experiencers live a half-mile off the paved highway and the road leading to their homes is a wild roller coaster ride of ruts and bumps. In other words, a typical Indian driveway.

In the very beginning, they noticed one night what looked like the headlights of many cars moving about slowly and erratically in the far distance. It didn’t take them long to figure out that they were not headlights. These turned out to be singular spheres of white light, which have now been filmed around the world. This is a recent development in the last ten years that no one can explain. These are the same as the Marfa Lights which has made Marfa, Texas famous to UFO buffs. The big difference between the Marfa Lights and the Navajo Lights is that the Navajo Lights kept coming closer and closer and began to act in what I would term a rather aggressive manner. As far as I know this has not happened anywhere else in the world. These lights normally act in a very shy manner, very much like a curious, but shy animal. I personally have had hundreds of encounters with these intelligent lights. And as I have said many times before, they are probably a (new to us) life form we know absolutely nothing about. We saw five or six of these lights which were about two miles distant on that frigid cold night we drove up to the site. Another very odd occurrence associated with these Navajo Lights was that the Navajo Lights actually at times made an audible sound. One person said that the lights, “Made a sound like a car.” This was more noticeable when the lights were coming through trees. There is a small forest of pinion pines on higher mesas above the houses. Most of these lights in this occurrence were about two feet in diameter. In other places around the world they have been seen as small as six inches or as large as fifty feet in diameter.

The lights that the Navajos interacted with numbered over a hundred on one particular night. If I remember correctly that was also the night that the police officers were there. These lights actually came right up to one of the houses several times. Again, this is extraordinarily odd behavior for these lights.

There are four or five houses in the general area and they are approximately two to four hundred yards apart. An uphill neighbor told us that one night he and six or seven others watched as a dozen or more of these lights flew slowly around and over a house down the hill. There were three people at the time in the lower house. Those three people were later able to describe to me vividly what happened, inside and outside of the house that night.

Logically, one would wonder at this point, did anybody have a camera? The answer is no. That’s the tragedy, if you will, of this whole thing. They had no still cameras of any kind, no tape recorders, no camcorders, no night vision equipment, nothing. They, as non-affluent people, don’t have the accoutrements most of us take for granted. I am absolutely convinced that this is precisely why the anomalous activity chose this remote area and the people who lived there for whatever agenda the mysterious “they” had.

During the height of these strange happenings, it was toward the end of February, one of the families had observed suspicious surveillance type activity by a late model white pickup truck. About a year before I had been warned to beware of new, white pickup trucks. My source was impeccable. I hadn’t mentioned this to the Navajos and after two days the white truck activity stopped, much to my relief. Maybe it was nothing, but it was another piece to a strange puzzle.
Even as isolated as they are they do have electric power. They have home phones and some have cell phones. The home phones are supplied by the Navajo Nation and don’t always work reliably. It’s the same situation for cell phones because the towers are so far apart.

This next item is an extraordinarily touchy subject. I debated with myself for a long time on how to present it here and be as brief as possible. It is black witchcraft or Skinwalkers. The term Skinwalker originated in Brazil long ago (I have not had time to delve into this) and somehow got integrated into Southwest Indian culture. It is primarily a Navajo phenomenon but it seems Colorado Utes may also have participated. Outside of Voodoo (and perhaps Santeria) it is in my estimation the most dangerous subject that exists on this planet. In a meeting with a Navajo woman several years ago she said to me, “We can talk about this here (Flagstaff) but don’t EVER bring up the subject on the Reservation!”

So of course I decided to do a book on Skinwalkers. What followed was seven months of the worst bad luck I have ever had in my life. I don’t need to go into the details. Looking back, it all started when I finished the first chapter. On several occasions I remarked to people that it seemed I was under a Voodoo curse. I thought because of my extensive background and understanding of metaphysics and the paranormal I could insulate myself. It seems I may have been wrong. My bad luck in reality may have had absolutely nothing to do with Skinwalkers, but I have since shelved the book and have no intention of finishing it.

Black and also white witchcraft has been practiced by practically all of the Southwest tribes for hundreds of years, notably by the Pueblo tribes like the Zuni. Only a few scattered, small groups still practice any form of witchcraft today.

Skinwalkers are more notably known as shape shifters. Folklore has it that Skinwalkers can shape shift into animals such as coyotes, owls, eagles or a human like being which was portrayed in the movie Independence Day. Some enterprising scriptwriter did their homework. I have seen evidence that has proved to me that shape shifting is more than superstition and folklore. It seems that at least some practitioners can actually perform this feat.

In several of my presentations, I mentioned my involvement in Skinwalker research and I was utterly amazed at the animated reactions and interest in the subject by the audience. I was also amazed at how so many people had so much knowledge of the phenomena. It is indeed a truly fascinating topic. When I began research over a year ago a friend in Albuquerque called one night and said that famed Navajo tales novelist Tony Hillerman and actor Robert Redford were skinwalker researchers. They both live in New Mexico. She added that they had information that was not generally available, and would I like to meet them. I of course replied sure. It never happened, but I am confident it would have been interesting.

The Skinwalker connection with my Arizona Navajo friends was this. I had asked if they had ever heard a two legged being walking at night on their roof. For some unknown reason this is a hallmark of Skinwalker activity. Why that is, is unknown. They replied, “Oh yes. Many times.” My friends had no interest in the practice other than curiosity. There is a lot more, but if I go into it, it would pinpoint the exact location to many that have in-depth knowledge of the phenomena.

For those of you who now have a burning curiosity about the subject, go to Google or any search engine and type in Skinwalker. There are hundreds of pages on Skinwalkers on the Internet. However, as far as I know, no non-fiction books in English have ever been written on the subject. Wonder why?

Also, objects inside and outside of my friend’s house would levitate suddenly and spin rapidly in the air. This would go on for a few minutes and then the article would drop back to the floor. In one instance, a big axe near the front steps rose up about seven feet and spun rapidly for a time then dropped back to the ground. And, there are about sixty wild mustangs in the area. On several occasions, all of the horses were heard at night running at full speed out in the desert and it was obvious, they said, that something was chasing them. Oddly, this sort of thing is not that unusual in high strangeness episodes. One of these almost tame mustangs walked within several feet of us that night. The horse was pure white and almost Stone Age looking. A thing of the wild, huge and shaggy and free.

What made me decide to get fully involved in this situation was the following incident. One night, after many frightful nights that winter, frightful for they had no idea what they were dealing with or what they could do, Patty and Mike woke up in the middle of the night to some strange noises in the house. At one point they actually wanted to leave their homes but they had nowhere to go.

Their step-dad, Larry, was asleep in a side bedroom and they thought he had gotten up and was in the kitchen. They quickly realized that was not the case. Patty and Mike listened intently to the noises that were coming from the kitchen. It didn’t take them long to figure out that something was very wrong. What really began to unnerve them was that Larry was making moaning and other vocal sounds they had never heard him make before. Larry was normally a very sound sleeper.

The strange sounds in the kitchen continued and became louder. Cupboard doors opened and closed and someone was obviously rummaging around in the pots and pans. They knew that somehow, someone had gotten into the always securely locked house. A neighbors dog barked frantically in the distance.

At this juncture I have to interject this statement. I have repeated it countless times in lectures and books and articles I have written. I met Patty and Mike in Flagstaff numerous times late that winter to see how things were going. They traveled to Flagstaff often. We have since become close, trusted friends. When Patty, out of the blue one day, told me about this incident she began to cry and could not stop. She was ok after fifteen minutes but my point is that extreme emotion is always an indication that a person is not lying. They are telling it just as it happened. Men or women, it does not matter. I have been through this with big strong construction worker types and truck driver types too.

To get on with the story, under the bedroom door Mike and Patty could see blazingly bright white lights moving back and forth out in the hallway. Then the doorknob started to turn slowly and someone was coming into their room. Not being able to think of anything else to do, they pulled the heavy covers over their heads and hoped the intruders would just go away. They were petrified with fear. They knew by now that something was very, very wrong.

An undetermined period of time passed and they next realized they were back in their bed. They had full movement now. Mike mustered his courage and jerked the covers off their heads. In the pitch black room were two glowing sets of eyes staring down at them. They think they passed out from fright and the next thing they knew it was bright daylight morning. The step-dad remembered nothing about the night before.

I have said during conversations with some of the top UFO researchers in the world that, whatever is going on, if it ever turns out that it is not UFOs and aliens, then it is still something utterly incredible, it’s real and we need to know what it is. If one takes the time to look, the evidence is powerful that something overwhelmingly awesome exists amongst us. I rarely run into skeptics anymore, used to be a running battle. I won’t spend three seconds with a skeptic now. If they look in earnest, they will see.

While in this country the little green men jokes have subsided and more and more people believe in the existence of aliens and UFOs there is still a deep element of skepticism largely and purposefully instilled by our own government over the last fifty years. I have a retired acquaintance who held the highest security clearance issued by our government. He states flatly that the U.S. Government has been dealing directly, face to face, with extraterrestrials since before World War II.

In Russia UFOs are anything but a joke. I have a close friend, Dr. Valery Uvarov who is the head of a department in the National Security Academy, Russian Federation. He works directly under President Vladimir Putin. Much of Dr. Uvarov’s research is focused on UFOs and aliens.

Russians treat UFOs as a dead serious subject of the utmost importance. Russia has never kept secrets on UFOs, even when Russia was the Soviet Union. During the Cold War the Soviet Air Force ordered its pilots to shoot down UFOs encountered over Soviet territory. After a dozen of Russia’s best Mig fighters were shot down in rapid succession by UFOs the military ordered its fighters to stay way clear of UFOs. In May of this year the government of Brazil issued a statement that UFOs and extraterrestrials exist and are visiting our planet. Brazil sharply criticized the U.S. Government for withholding UFO evidence that it has been keeping from the rest of the world.

One night Billy, a cigarette smoker, while visiting friends in Flagstaff had gone out to the front steps to smoke. It was a bitter cold night in Flagstaff and he had on only a tee-shirt. After having plenty of time to smoke a cigarette he still wasn’t back. His wife Rachel, and two others went looking for him. Billy was nowhere to be seen. They became panicky, they had no idea what had become of Billy. They split up and went looking for him. The apartment building borders on the Coconino National Forest. Almost an hour later Billy came walking out of the forest, there was eight inches of snow on the ground. He looked dazed and was pale with cold. They frantically asked, “Where were you?!!” All he could say was, “I was talking to three guys out in the woods.” He does not remember anything about the encounter. Three guys? Government or alien? Probably the only way to get the full story would be to hypnotize Billy.

The three types of extraterrestrials my Navajo friends encountered on the Reservation are as follows: late one evening of that winter, Patty, Mike and step-dad, Larry, heard some unusual sounds outside in the yard. They looked out a window and around the rear of their car were a dozen or more three foot tall humanoid beings looking at and examining the tail lights on the car. The light was not good enough to see the being’s faces. A large, dark ship-like object was on a ridge in the far background. They turned away from the window and when they looked back the beings were gone.

All of the people I have talked to that live at the site report that on many occasions they have seen groups of different human like beings walking around out in the desert as if the beings are performing some sort of work. In fact, Rachel, a twenty five years old, said that beginning when she was a little girl she had often encountered one particular type of alien while out walking or taking shortcuts in the desert. She said they were not really friendly but they were not unfriendly either. She was close enough to be able to describe them in detail. She described them as being five and a half feet tall and wore uniforms. They had round heads, gray skin and very large round eyes and the long rubbery fingers. She was not able to communicate verbally with these beings but had a sort of instinctual understanding of them and about them. There is a lot more but I am not privileged to go into it here. I think it would make a wonderful future story. I am very much looking forward to speaking to Rachel much more about this. There just hasn’t been time.

The third type of alien was tall, about six foot and six inches in height and walked stooped over a bit. The one that was encountered was thin and wore a hooded garment that completely covered his face. This being spoke good English but would not allow his face to be seen. Billy pulled up next to him one night that winter as Billy was going up the road to his home. He drove along beside the being for a ways, talked to him for a minute or two then continued on. If the guy was human, why wouldn’t he look at least once at Billy? And where they live no stranger would be out for an evening stroll or walking the dog. A government Spook? Maybe, but not likely given all the other high strangeness activity taking place in the area at the time.

The primary reason for writing this article is that a small group of us would like to start a five year UFO research project on the 25,000 square mile Navajo Nation. On the Navajo Nation it would be a Navajo Project, managed and run entirely by Navajos who are in place now. Several of us who have vast experience in UFO research would be in the position as consultants and advisors. Should a situation arise, through the network the best in the world could be involved in a very short matter of time. The ultimate decision and control would stay in Navajo hands. In the past little or no research or information on UFOs has come out of the Navajo Nation due to its closed nature. Probably other elements are aware of this as well. The time is right.

To simplify matters, instead of many donations we would prefer to have only one or two donors involved. Our estimations are that it would be in the neighborhood of $50,000. This for expenses only, no salaries are included. Otherwise the idea will be scrapped. For donor information only my email address is: tomdongo@yahoo.com.

To conclude this article I will include this fascinating story I got several days ago while having coffee with a friend. She was from out of town and we met at a local coffee shop. During our conversation, I told her about The Navajo Project. She said, “I have got to tell you what just happened on the Navajo reservation.” She works for a large non-profit organization in southern Arizona that often deals with Navajo children with mental and learning disabilities.

The doctor that heads this organization was recently at a remote village on the Navajo Reservation. She was told of an amazing visitation. I give this story 100% credibility because of the doctor and the number of witnesses involved.

Evidently while a private ceremony of dancing, drumming and chanting was going on suddenly three very human like beings materialized near the dancers. Naturally everything stopped. Someone went over and asked who are you and why are you here?

One of the three replied that they were from the inner earth and simply wanted to watch and be a part of what the Navajos were doing. The three stayed for a while and vanished as quickly as they had appeared.

Wouldn’t it have been something if a researcher had been there at the time or shortly after to document this amazing event?

We want to thank Tom Dongo for sharing his research with us.

LAJAS, Puerto Rico - People in this sleepy hamlet are so sure they have been receiving other-worldly visitors, they want to build a UFO landing strip to welcome them.

A bright green sign along a lonely country road in southwestern Puerto Rico proudly displays a silhouette of a flying saucer and two words: "Extraterrestrial Route."

Most Puerto Ricans laughed when a horse farmer installed the sign on his property at the request of Reynaldo Rios, a local elementary school teacher who says he's been communicating with alien visitors to this U.S. territory since he was a child.

Rios, a 39-year-old with a goatee and a shock of dark hair, won't be ignored. With the blessing of a local government desperate for tourist dollars, he's dedicated himself to building the UFO landing strip.

"I can't say exactly when they will come, but I know it will happen," Rios said. "I want to keep believing in my dreams."

Lajas Mayor Marcos Irizarry's support for the idea has provoked outrage among islanders who complained it would be a waste of money at a time when the government is encouraging thousands of employees to shorten their work week to cope with a staggering fiscal deficit.
"What nonsense," said Luis Arocho, 47, sipping coffee with friends in a cafe in historic Old San Juan. "This country is in crisis, and since politicians are incapable of creating jobs, they create fantasies."

Irizarry quickly clarified that his municipal government would not invest in the project. Instead, he has promised to help Rios get the proper building permits.

The mayor insists his goal is to attract tourists to his small town.

But he is also among Lajans who believe they have seen UFOs in the area. "It's a very mysterious place," said Irizarry, who says he once saw red lights zigzagging above the hills. "A lot of people have seen things."

Francisco Negron, the farmer who put up the sign and allows UFO watchers to gather at his ranch, volunteered his property for the landing strip. He and Rios estimate the project could cost up to US$100,000 and are looking for funds from private companies.

Negron, a soft-spoken grandfather, has already applied for a permit to build a road to Indian Hill, the chosen site for the strip. Negron and others believe a UFO crashed on the hill in 1997. They claim they heard a boom and saw the hill go up in flames.

Rios, who leads a group called "UFO International" that holds nighttime vigils to search for signs of alien life, lets Negron worry about details like investment costs and permits while he envisions the design. The landing strip would be 80 feet long and have pyramids as control towers because aliens are attracted to the shape.

The mayor hopes that UFO enthusiasts will flock to Lajas as they have to Roswell, New Mexico, the site of a supposed UFO crash in the 1940s. Hundreds of visitors have already come to check out the Extraterrestrial Route since the sign went up, Irizarry said.

Puerto Rico is already known for its Arecibo Observatory and its 1,000-foot (304-meter) parabolic receiver that astronomers really do use to search for extraterrestrial life. The huge dish, in northern Puerto Rico, made a cameo appearance in the 1997 film "Contact," starring Jodi Foster as an astronomer whopicks up a signal from extratraterrestrials.

But it's a little-known aerostat off the Extraterrestrial Route that inspires UFO lore in Lajas. The U.S. military uses the aerostat, a tethered blimp with a radar system, to detect low-flying drug smuggling planes.

But many Lajans don't believe that. Even Irizarry has suggested that the aerostat's true purpose is to detect UFOs.

A paved road leading to the blimp curves out of sight between two hills. Two signs warn against trespassing. Rios claims he was once briefly detained while trying to see the aerostat.

The school teacher says he first encountered aliens at 13. He says white lights burst into his bedroom, entered his body and cured him of a back injury he had received during a basketball game.

In Lajas, people who have grown up hearing reports of UFO sightings seem more open to his scheme.

"If we have the technology to reach the moon, there could be others who have the technology to come here," said Ronaldo Barea, 26, a sandwich shop owner.

The eggs had their typical lack of firmness and the sausage tasted more like greasy rope than pork links. The orders to mobilize saved me from this breakfast experiment. We proceeded down six flights of stairs below the COMPTRAPAC submarine base in San Diego to "shoot-the-tubes." After placing my few pieces of jewelry in a container I climbed into the cylinder to travel the tunnels to an unknown assignment. I wondered what was so important to upgrade our pay from E-3 to E-6 before we left and besides that, we could not even finish breakfast.

As I am told of our departure, a familiar, uneasy feeling comes over me. When you push down on the accelerator in your car, one can feel the tug of inertia sinking you into your seat. When you travel the tubes there is no feeling of motion but you know when the door opens you will be in another place hundreds, even thousands of miles away. For some comfort I check to see if the watch hidden in my pocket was still there. I quickly look to see if it is even running. It seems to be working normally, so why no jewelry? Because of the electrical charge buildup perhaps?

The soft clang of the door opening made me tense again. I did not even feel us stop! Peeking at the watch I noted only 30 minutes had passed. We must be in California, Nevada or Arizona, I thought. As I stepped from the windowless capsule I hear a military policeman murmur "Turners' Rangers." Our reputation had preceded us. As I re-adorned my jewelry the first surprise of this assignment was about to come.

A high ranking Navy OSS Officer informs us that we will not be allowed above ground while in North Dakota. NORTH DAKOTA!! Several of us were led to a larger hanger-type room that had been quickly set up to function as a laboratory. Resting on heavy jack stands in the middle of the room was a large, disc-shaped craft. The chief scientist present was introduced as Professor Bear. As his briefing and some discussion proceeded, I rapidly developed a rapport with this talented, open minded and gentle man.

The craft had crashed near Phoenix, Arizona and was moved to this North Dakota base. Two dead alien bodies with fatal radiation exposure were found outside the craft. I reflected on my OSS training for crash retrieval and remembered thinking, "Why bother? We will never get a chance to be involved in anything that exciting." Well, not only was I involved, I was the security team leader. This meant that when the craft was opened I would be the first one inside! After all, one does not send a high-ranking officer or a chief scientist to possibly encounter an alien booby trap or extraterrestrial virus. Come to think of it the prospects did not excite me either. As Professor Bear prepared his ultrasonic sound generators for opening the craft, my apprehension turned to intensity; after all, this is what my training was for.

As the "Bear" turned his equipment on the smooth solid metal surface of the craft began to ripple like when you throw a stone in the water. When the ripples seemed to gain harmonic stability the now liquid metal parted in a circular iris-like fashion. As I stepped inside I noticed a fresh pine scent and a strange smoothness to everything. The interior was rounded off and continuous with no seams or rivets. It was as if the walls, floor and ceiling were formed out of one piece of metal. Even a table in the center of the craft looked as though it had been pushed out of the floor. What appeared to be control panels had no knobs, switches or dials. There were strange symbols highlighting these futuristic yet simple consoles.

The outside of the craft had no apparent damage yet the interior showed some distortion, possibly from the crash. Next to one of the panels I could see something that would challenge my training and challenge my perceptions of reality forever. The craft was just another piece of hardware, but seated next to the panel was a human! Its gender was obviously male. Aside from his unusual dress he could have walked past you at the grocery store and not commanded much attention. Upon noticing some injuries about his head I instinctively and quickly moved toward him to help. His skin was a bronze color, reminiscent of Mediterranean or South American cultures. His hair was similarly brown and very short in a Roman or crew style cut. The only real difference in appearance from earth humans was that his ears were slightly pointed. He reminded me of pictures of Quetzacoatl, the deity of the ancient Toltecs.

He was conscious and in great pain. One leg was partially pinned by the shifting interior. I was examining cuts on his cheek and lip when I first touched him. An overwhelming feeling of compassion came over me as I heard his voice in my head. I could understand him clearly even though his mouth did not move. The communication was strictly telepathic. I perceived his fear of being harmed and told him that I would not let anyone harm him. Suddenly, a voice from the doorway refocused my attention on the duties at hand.

I called back that we had a live one. The craft filled with gloved and masked medical personnel to help free the occupant. He was quickly carried outside and placed on a gurney. I remarked that he felt heavy for his size and a few others that had assisted agreed. As the alien was whisked off for medical attention Professor Bear examined the inside of the craft. He found what he thought was a star map depicting the Constellation Eridanus and wondered if that might be where the alien was from. After a brief discussion concerning the nature of the communications, Bear asked me to accompany him to the medical lab. As we talked along the way I referred to the alien being as "Hank." The professor asked if that was the name the alien had given me. I explained that it was not and that I had chosen that nickname based on its Native American reference to a "troubled spirit." The professor smiled and said, "Hank it is," and the name seemed to immediately stick.

In the antiseptic, impersonal medical room, Hank's discomfort was compounded by his complete undressing. While still in great pain he was examined from head to toe. No stone was left unturned, so to speak. They treated him as if he were the baby of some rare animal species being first born in captivity. It became evident that Hank could not communicate with everyone involved so I was asked to be translator. I had no trouble understanding that the normal anesthetic we were administering had little or no effect. Suddenly, with Hank's discomfort still a concern, everyone's attention became divided between the being and a new person arriving on the scene.

This new person was obviously important yet seemed to make everyone uneasy. Even Hank recoiled in fear when he came close. He barked a few stern orders and several people, myself included, marched into a nearby conference room. The man introduced himself as Frank Drake and told us he was head of the operation. The reports would hence forth be titled "Project OZMA" (with an "S"). As the sound of his continued briefing faded into a day dream I thought that my regimented life had just jumped track and was now speeding off in a totally new direction.

This extraordinary story, according to the witness, is not fiction. Oscar is a simple country person from rural Missouri where he lives with his wife, three children and a menagerie of stray animals. His life is seemingly uncomplicated and unhurried. However, his eyes reflect a clarity indicative of inner knowledge and understanding. We first came to meet this man as the result of a lead from nuclear physicist and renowned UFOlogist, Stanton T. Friedman. At the "Show Me UFO Conference 1989" in St. Louis, Friedman asked Bruce Widaman, State Director of Missouri MUFON, if he would attempt to locate a witness that called responding to the "Unsolved Mysteries" show on the Roswell crash. The person in question had possibly been involved in a crash retrieval while in the military. The tip had come from a former neighbor of Oscar's.

Widaman, of course, agreed to follow up since Friedman felt the investigation should be handled locally. It was known that the witness did not have a phone. So with little less than a name, town and rumor to go on, the search began. Widaman and Alex Horvat, Public Information Officer for Missouri MUFON, arrived in the small town near St. Louis after dark. After questioning a girl at a local convenience mart no further leads were found. Horvat suggested checking the local bar. This produced a description of a front yard that might be the elusive witness'. After driving up and down the lane several times, one yard seemed more appropriate than the others so they hesitantly stopped. Stepping from the car into the country night proved harrowing enough as several large dogs snarled and barked from the surrounding darkness. Widaman was further unnerved when a large black dog began licking his hand as he knocked on the door. Not knowing whether he was being greeted or tasted by the animal, Widaman was relieved to see someone answer. After a brief explanation of who and what our investigators were, an invitation to sit and talk came as a positive sign. The stranger did not know where "Bill," the name given Friedman was, but that he was his brother. After Widaman and Horvat explained their purpose and some of their feelings and ideas he finally conceded that he was in fact the man they were looking for. He explained that his real name was Oscar and that the name "Bill" had been given so he would know where any inquiries were coming from.

As Oscar told the story that began this article it became obvious that because of his military background, the name was necessary for his protection. The account unfolded further to reveal horrible injustices to Hank and to Oscar himself. At the direction of Drake, the team conducted medical experiments such as spinal taps, marrow sampling, taking organ specimens and other exploratory surgery on Hank without anesthsia. Oscar had spent many hours over three months communicating with and growing close to the alien. One day he stepped between Drake and Hank with his .45 caliber pistol drawn and demanded an end to the torture. Drake withdrew but the next monring Oscar had new orders to depart immediately for Saint Albans Hospital in Connecticut where he was incarcerated for debriefing. He remained isolated for several months until the efforts of Lt. Charles Turner, Oscar's commanding officer, got him moved to a psychiatric ward. His family, who had now been out of touch with him for almost three months, was told that Oscar had suffered a head injury during a submarine accident. After spending time under psychiatric care, which would damage his military record, he was oddly enough given an honorable discharge.

After having returned to civilian life Oscar and his father embarked on a hiking trip to North Dakota. They purposely entered the restricted area surrounding the base where Oscar had been stationed. Perimeter patrol picked them up for removal from the area. While in their company Oscar asked how Hank was doing. One of the guards confided that the alien had died several months earlier.

The next trip out to the country included myself and David Rapp, a physicist with 13 years experience in the aerospace industry and also Director of Investigations for Missouri MUFON. Because of our backgrounds in science, the discussion focused on technical questions about Oscar's experiences. After questioning the logistics of a tunnel system stretching from California to North Dakota to Washington, DC, it became evident that this was not feasible. With careful questioning it was discovered, according to Oscar, that the tunnels only went a short distance and did not actually connect to the North Dakota base. The capsule shuttle was accelerated and then a time/space window simultaneously opened. The "exit door" of the time/space window simultaneously opened at the r prescribed destination where the capsule would appear in a tunnel and decelerate. The technology was supposedly a combination of our own knowledge, rooted in the Philadelphia experiment, and acquired alien technology. Oscar also talked about the geological location of time/space/dimension doors. These places allow the easy entry of extraterrestrial craft into our atmosphere. Two such large natural doorways were reported to be just northeast of Seattle, Washington and south of the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior.

The pattern from the panel inside the ship was confirmed by Rapp to match stars of the Constellation Eridanus as seen from earth. It was later confirmed by Hank that the stars of origin of his people were Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. In later sessions Oscar discussed some reasons for the presence of the aliens. He said they do not like the situation with some of the small grey aliens. He corrected us when we used the term "grey" and said they were actually white. The Tau Cetians feel the abductions being carried out by some of the greys are a great injustice to humanity. "They are a parasitic race that has and is praying on human civilizations throughout the universe," Oscar relayed. He added that our government's involvement with the greys is very dangerously out of control. He described them as "bug people" and said they are actually closer to plant life than mammalian. Oscar is adamant that the bug people are using human fluids for sustenance. They feed by immersing their arms in vats and/or rubbing the fluids on their bodies. He claims that they are also kidnapping children. The Tau Cetians have been preyed upon by these aliens before and they are working with other races and communities that were also victims. One such race that Oscar claims was run off their home planet by the bug people was what we now call the Nordics or Plieadians (Plejarans). He claims, because of his ongoing contacts, he was made aware of the Billy Meier case in Switzerland and swears that is a real contact. Oscar's comments about the bug people do not necessarily apply to all races of grey aliens, only those he claims are working with governments of the world to gain power with no concern for humanity.

I find all of these comments interesting especially when you consider one investigative detail of this case. I have seen Oscar's house, his Mother's house, his work shop and truck, and at no time were any books, magazines, transcripts of movies about any subject, let alone recent UFO material found. When asked about the strange absence of reading material, he claims that if he wants to know something he merely concentrates on it and the answer comes to him via his alien friends. Could he be an avid reader of the latest and most controversial UFO documents and just be hiding them when we came over? This is highly unlikely since without a phone, our visits were always unannounced.

While undergoing debriefing, a friend of Oscar's began sending his personal belongings from his locker to his family. Oscar had hidden a Polaroid picture of Hank from one of the files in his locker. He had the picture in his possession for two years before military intelligence people came and asked for it back. He returned the picture but had many Xerox copies hidden. One of these copies was enhanced by an artist so that anyone having profound abduction experiences with grey aliens will recognize the Tau Cetians. He wants people to know that if they are contacted by the Tau Cetians to not be afraid because they are here to help.

This attitude is reflected in correlations with a totally independent case involving a woman from Springfield, Illinois. Jill Waldport appears to have an ongoing and very serious involvement with grey aliens. After Budd Hopkins spoke to her at length the case was recommended to John Carpenter, State Section Director for Missouri MUFON and myself. The intensity and detail of the case is reminiscent of Debbie Tomies' (Cathy Davis) experiences. In my first interview with Jill, she asked if anyone had ever been adbucted/contacted by more than one race or group of aliens. I told her that it was reported with some frequency and asked her which other ones she had seen with the greys. She said that it was a totally separate contact and that they did not like the greys.

When asked about their appearance she reported that they were human, approximately five and a half feet in height, 180-200 pounds but not fat, tanned looking skin with short hair cuts that laid flat against their heads. I asked her to describe their eyes, ears, nose and mouth. She said all features were essentially normal except that the nose was broad and flat and their eyes were brown. Oscar reported the weight of Hank to be 190 pounds and five feet seven inches tall. He also noted the broad, flat nose.

Jill informed me that the aliens told her they didn't like what the other aliens were doing without her consent. They had come to help her learn how to protect herself. They explained that she needed to psychically build a shield around, like a brick wall, when they came for her. This would keep her from being deceived by their mind tricks. She tried it the next time the greys came for her and it seemed to work. At this point the correlation counter in my mind was working overtime so I decided to go for gold and asked if they told her where they came from. Believe it or not she replied, "Tau Seat-eye, does that make any sense?" Later I mentioned to Oscar that I was investigating a case that involved intense interaction with the greys and Tau Cetians showing up to help. He asked where the case was from and I told him near Springfield, Illinois. He rattled off a very accurate description of Jill and said he was aware she had been contacted.

Horvat showed several pictures of people from the archives of UFOlogy, one of which was Drake, to Oscar. He immediately picked Drake's photo from the stack and one could see the anger come over his face at the sight of this man. Follow up research by Horvat produced an interesting set of circumstances. The crash in question happened in 1961. Some of you will remember that Drake headed project OZMA Program, the predecessor to S.E.T.I. In 1961 Drake announced that OZMA, in its search for intelligent extraterrestrial radio signals, would first look to the stars Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani.

An interesting possible correlation with the predicted natural time/space windows can be found by studying patterns on special energy maps. On such map is a Bougguer gravity anomaly map. Oddly enough, a fairly local low gravity area can be found at both locations mentioned by Oscar. I encourage everyone to analyze these patterns further, comparing them to possible underground alien bases, etc. My research is finding some interesting patterns emerging by comparing the location of gravity anomalies, geomagnetic anomalies, Indian reservations, military bases and cavern entrances. These specialty maps can be purchased at great prices from Geoscience Resources.

A final correlation involves yet another abductee/contactee case who claims profound dowsing ability among other unique traits. Oscar told us that he moved to his present residence because of instructions by the aliens. The property supposedly has lines of energy (Ley Lines) that intersect to form a triangle and create some energy vortexes that make it easier to communicate and visit with him. He described a clearing in the woods behind his house where they best talk to him. Being a good scientist I like to test these things out so it was time for a double blind study. Lynn Cavins, the contactee with dowsing ability, was only told we were going to a special place to conduct an experiment. She identified a line of energy there and a whirlpool of energy but the real surprise came when we let her go wherever the rods took her. Without being told a single thing about the location or the owner, she wandered around approximately 5 acres of land and came upon a clearing in the woods. With a look of wonder on her face she said, "Oh my god, this is where he comes to talk to the aliens isn't it?"

As one can imagine there are many other facets and correlation's to this case that space does not allow for. The telepathic communication continues as well as occasional physical visitation. Several of Oscar's friends and family have witnessed crafts in the air and other paranormal phenomena associated with his contacts. An interaction between Oscar and Davins has begun and promises to be very interesting. Strange things happen when two contactees get together. Many things about this case may seem hard to believe and even harder to prove, but I feel a good scientist will go where the data takes him and not pre-judge. Always keep an open mind.
