While rummaging
through my files checking on Operation Right To
Know material I came across this article I have
been trying to find for years, as well as the
three star general article that is available in
another post. This Swedish case is one of those
cases that involves an ethical extraterrestrial
human that those who study less ethical ET's tend
to ignore. Such reluctance to study all the
evidence keeps folks conceptually trapped in their
little clump of trees in the forest. I don't have
a date on this article but it was published in the
late 1980's or early 1990's. I think it was
published in UFO Universe Magazine as a reprint. I
searched the net but all I found was a fragment of
the article in a list of humanoid cases from 1955
so I typed in this article by hand.
The title of the article is, Humanoid Dies In
Sweden, and was written by John Fontaine. It is
noted that this report was filed with fellow
members of a Swedish UFO group translated into
English called Free UFO Study. This is a very
detailed, extraordinary and moving case much like
the story Larry Requa told me of finding the
mummified alien bodies in BC Canada. The article
follows. At an exhibition called "Love or Chaos"
in Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, Sweden several
hundred people each day visited the FUFOS (Free
UFO Studies group) stand to listen to continuous
lecture supported by slides, and the many
questions indicated that interest in UFOs is
steadily increasing. One morning when several
schools were visiting the stand, I noticed a
distinguished gentleman, about 60 years old, who
listened to the lecture several times and became
extremely interested each time the slide-show came
to the section about humanoids, a series of slides
produced on the basis of a substantial number of
interviews with witnesses. Even though the lecture
was interesting, I could not understand why an
ordinary listener would attend it several times,
so my curiosity was aroused, and I started to talk
to the man. At the beginning he was very reserved,
and did not want to go into details, but when he
saw that I took him seriously, he eventually told
his story. For an hour he told about his
experience while I took notes, and indeed, it was
a strange story:
"I once saw and talked to a man like the one
shown on the slides. In 1955 I was working as a
lumberjack in the Gulf of Bothnia in Vestra
Norrland in Sweden with two brothers who supplied
timber to a sawmill in mid-Sweden. One early
morning in July, about six o'clock, we were busy
cutting trees, when we heard a sound like a big
animal thrashing its way through the forest, or
like branches breaking and rattling. A moment
later we saw a cigar-shaped object flying
haphazardly in between the trees and branches as
leaves were falling to the ground. My immediate
thought was that it was a small airplane, which
had lost its wings and was now preparing, without
control, for a crash landing."
"Approximately 300-400 meters away flowed a
river, which the aircraft evidently was heading
for. It was obvious that the aircraft would hit
the ground within a few seconds, so we started to
run in the direction where it had disappeared.
15-20 meters before we came out of the forest, the
aircraft crashed in a clearing 30-40 meters from
the river." "I don't know what we had expected,
maybe a deafening crash, when the impact of the
aircraft with the ground caused the petrol to
explode. But it did not happen. Not a sound was
heard, but a gigantic flash of light engulfed the
whole area like a vast flashbulb, so that the
sunlight almost disappeared. The light was so
intense that we in fact could see through the
trees. For a second I could see the grains of the
trees and these were more than one meter in
diameter, like an x-ray. Seconds later came a
vacuum wave sucking everything towards the center
of the light. All three of us tumbled forwards,
branches and leaves flying past us.
