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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The witness was out collecting bark in a spot near the lake, when the same two men she had met previously approached her; both wore dark “neat” coveralls. One of the men was young, about 20 years of age, and seemed to hide behind the other man as the witness approached. The younger man stared intently at the witness during the conversation she had with the older man and only spoke once.

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

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

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

Grant Callison and his wife noticed 3 winged beings flying at an estimated altitude of 500 feet. The beings appeared to be covered with feathers or metallic scales which acquired an odd fluorescence as they reflected light from the local street lamps. The strange trio lacked necks of any sort and had short, conical tails. There were other sightings of the same creatures in the area.

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

Driving a minibus driver Jose Da Silva and three passengers were listening to the radio under a light rain when they suddenly heard a whirring sound and noticed a diffused light over the road. Suddenly the van rose up in the air at about 50 cm and stay there for a moment coming down immediately and again rising up in the air soon it was set down on the road again, this time more slowly. The men then noticed an intensely luminous circular object hovering at above 100 meters overhead. Frightened the men watched from the van an object, which they described as about as only about 2 meters in diameter, on its lower part several porthole-like openings were visible where shadows or movement could be seen passing in behind them. A reddish light emanated from the top of the object. The UFO remained motionless for a few minutes, and then tilted at an angle and disappeared towards the sea. After the incident all four men suffered from vomiting. One of the men lost all the hairs of his eyebrows, Da Silva, which had had abundant hair became bald in less than a year.

A young boy, Anatoliy Grigorevich was sleeping in a hayloft outside of town when he suddenly awoke and noticed a silvery oval-shaped object hovering above the stables. A greenish, slightly blinking light emanated from the top section of the craft. The witness also counted seven round orange colored windows in the lower section of the UFO. Next the witness vaguely remembered that a ladder descended from the object and he started climbing up. After that his memory was seemingly erased. In the morning a neighbor woman told his mother that she had seen the witness standing on the roof of the barn and stretching his arms into the sky. The witness eventually forgot about the strange episode. But in the morning of June 27 1993 w
