1973 HUMANOID REPORTS

Compiled by

1973 was indeed a landmark year as far as UFOs and alien encounters are concerned. After 4 relatively slow years 69-72, 1973 exploded into the world heralding the arrival of The High-Strangeness era of UFOS and related phenomena. The autumn humanoid wave described by Webb was only the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Besides the almost 200 humanoid encounters (reported) there were literally thousands of well documented CE1's CE2's, radar visuals, aircraft, daylight discs, etc. It was the end of the Vietnam era, the beginning of the end for Nixon and the start of the weird decade. 1973 through 1979 can only be rivaled by that unforgettable French wave of 1954. 1973 brought us, Hickson and Parker, the Turin Airport intrusions, the Northwest Cape incident that possibly created a high state of military alertness for all worldwide US forces. It was the midst of the Yom Kippur war, the world was indeed at the brink, and more was yet to come.

The witness a supervisor at a local rubber factory was called outside by one of his men who had been smoking a cigarette. Once outside the man pointed up and to the left. They both saw some type of craft moving very slowly from the northwest to the southeast. There were a number of slanted downward windows in the craft. They could see several figures moving about and some were apparently looking down out of the windows. The background behind the figures was red, making the figure look like silhouettes. The strange thing about the craft was the rather bobbing motion it had while moving. They watched the object for about 10 minutes until the craft drifted out of sight.

Location. Near Norton Air Force Base, California
Date: 1973
Time: unknown
The witness was employed by the Air Force as a photographer. One day he received unexpected news that his security clearance had been upgraded. A few weeks later, he and another military photographer were flown for a temporary duty assignment to Norton Air Force base. As they landed they were taken on a two-hour drive inside an Air Force vehicle with blacked out windows. They finally arrived at their destination, which turned out to be inside an underground installation. They were ordered to disrobe and given white smocks to wear. The main witness was taken to a room, which contained a disc shaped craft suspended in a heavy net hanging from a large crane. The disc was about 30 feet in diameter and had a small opening on the side. The witness was lifted up to the opening and put inside. He was shocked to see that the inside looked to be about 10 times the size of the outside. Disoriented he poked his head back outside to check the size which appeared to be about 35 ft in diameter only. He continued to photograph the inside of the disc and was later taken to photograph actual alien bodies dressed in blue jumpsuits. At that point, he became ill and the other photographer was called in to complete the assignment.

A man working on his ham radio equipment received a strange message. After hearing peculiar static a metallic voice speaking in Italian communicated with him. He was told to maintain the communication a secret. Later he was given instructions to go to a wooded area near his home. At the rendezvous site he encountered a landed metallic circular object. Next to the craft stood three normal looking men, the men wore "asbestos" type suits and helmets with antennae. The beings promised to return but never did.

The two witnesses were driving when they sighted two hovering craft and experienced a time lapse. Under hypnosis one of the witnesses remembered lying on an examination table surrounded by electronic equipment. Several undescribed beings connected her to this equipment and assured her that it was going to be a painless examination. Later both witnesses found themselves sitting side by side on two chairs completely silent. They were then suddenly returned to their vehicle without any memory of the event.

Richard Kilburn was returning home along a remote road when he suddenly experienced a memory lapse. He only had fragmentary memories of an event. Under hypnosis he recalled seeing two lights descend from the sky and land nearby, his vehicle suddenly veered off the road and stopped. He got out of the vehicle and heard a sound, he then saw four or five humanoids coming over a nearby fence and approach him. The beings were very short and thin, hairless with large heads shaped like inverted teardrops, large black walnut shaped eyes, small noses, slit mouths, no ears and white putty like skin. They had long tube like fingers and wore black tight fitting suits and gloves and were clumsy when they moved. One that seemed to be the leader gave directions by gestures while another being began digging a hole. The witness was seized by a clamp like device and taken to a luminous white egg shaped craft sitting on a platform of girders and making a humming sound. He was escorted up a tube like ramp into the object and entered a luminous white domed room and next found himself on a table wearing only a diaper like cloth. A device came down from the ceiling and a needle like device ran along his back. He was then given an extensive physical examination by several of the beings, with different devices. He later lost consciousness and found himself driving home in his vehicle.

Mike Shea was driving toward Olney to meet a friend when about 15 minutes outside of Baltimore he noticed a beam of light strike a barn 150 feet from his car. He then saw a huge hovering object with a ring of alternating red & yellow lights. The object was totally silent. When the beam of light shut off Shea became fearful. He felt something coming up behind him. Suddenly he saw the object overhead and felt an electric current running down his spine. The next thing he knew he was feeling quite relaxed and was approaching his destination. He had somehow lost two hours of time. Years later under hypnotic regression he remembered seeing four figures standing at the side of the road. He then realized the figures were creatures dressed in a black kind of plastic armor. They had black faces and appeared to be wearing helmets with a line down the middle that came to a point. The beings looked like huge grasshoppers with long arms and bowed legs. Three of the creatures were large. The fourth one was small and wore a black silky suit with a zipper up the front, somehow this being seemed "ancient" to the witness. He then saw a large shiny craft hovering nearby emitting a low whirring sound and a smaller craft on the ground. Eventually he was taken inside one of the crafts, put on a table, and examined. Various organic samples were collected from his body.

Two young sisters had gone to the nearby river to fetch some buckets of water. The younger sister became tired and drifted off to sleep. At that point the older sister saw a figure approaching from a nearby path. She described the figure as a humanoid female, wearing a white tunic, with long jet-black hair. It carried something in her hand resembling a lantern or torch. The terrified girl stood watching as the figure approached her. As it got to within 20 feet it suddenly disappeared in plain sight. The girl then woke her younger sister and both went back home.

The 44-year old witness awoke to see a motionless figure standing in his bedroom. It was wearing a "bulky" one-piece matte silver suit that was joined to a round helmet with a rectangular faceplate of smoky color, so that the face was not visible. The height of the figure was about 6-foot. After about 5 seconds it turned its head to the right to face the witness; then it suddenly disappeared.

While asleep with his wife in bed, Allen C Smith "dreamed" he was on a "strange ship" of some kind. He was lying on a table and there, two entities nearby, one of which was bending over him, and passing a small rod-like instrument over his stomach and chest. The figure's face was 'silvery" with no facial features, appearing like a mask of metal. Without speaking, Smith "heard" him tell the others "this one has some kind of malady." Smith looked around and "knew" that the object he was on was "run" by "magnetic electrical force, coming from rods sticking in a bunch of crystals or a crystal like substance nearby." When he awoke, he was lying on the carpet in the living room. He had shaved before retiring, but had what appeared to be two days growth of beard on his face.

In a dream like state the witness saw an egg shaped object land on thick legs. A door slid open and a ladder descended. Two beings stepped out, one a humanoid with a big head and no hair, green eyes and a gray face; the other was human with blonde hair. She was unable to move as the beings approached, but she felt no fear or anxiety. The beings took her inside the craft, but she remembered nothing except computers and the end of the experience, when the door opened again and she went down the ladder, then the object took off at high speed.

The witness was returning home with her boyfriend when they caught sight of a dark figure that ran into one of the alleyways. Concerned they decided to walk in the middle of the road; slowly they walked passed the alleyway. Suddenly they noticed two bright red circles that came closer, they then realized it was his eyes. They both began to run when the boyfriend felt something strike his back. He turned around and lying on the floor was a pitchfork type tool, like a hayfork. They picked it up and ran home later contacting the police. Other witnesses came forward reporting a strange prowler described as very tall, 6' 6" at least, dressed in black, with a black cape with burning red eyes. Around the same time an old woman reported seeing a figure "jumping" across the rooftops. She watched him take tremendous leaps of about 20 or 30 ft, this frightened her.

After arguing with family members and his sister's boyfriend the witness, Zenon Carlos Rios decided to go up to the rooftop and sleep there for the night. As he lay on the hard concrete, almost at the brink of falling asleep, he suddenly heard a long whistle that startled him awake. He looked up and saw a large blue craft, two meters above him that seemed to be about to fall on him. The craft was egg-shaped with blue, black and white lights. There was a huge glass paned window going from one side to the other and inside he could see two human like figures sitting at a control panel. The two humanoids wore black outfits and had very pale features, and short white curly hair. The witness was unable to move and as the bottom of the craft was about to strike him, a door opened. Then a powerful blast of air sucked him inside the object. Inside he noticed a strong odor resembling propane gas, he immediately lost consciousness. His next memory was waking up on the terrace feeling great pain throughout his body. With great difficulty he walked downstairs and was stunned to learn that he had been gone for 3 days. He could not remember what happened during those three days.

The witness was asleep at home when she was apparently abducted. She found herself lying on a sterile looking aluminum like table, in a circular room. The room was cold and it had three other tables and seating. Two types of beings were present. One type was tall with an elongated head, no mouth or nose and set back ears. They wore a silvery suit and moved normally. The other type was shorter with elongated heads and seemed to move clumsily. The beings in the silvery suits appeared in control of the smaller ones. She saw other humans onboard, including her sister. They seemed to be in a trance and were seated on seats attached to the wall. The beings did not communicate with her but seemed to communicate with each other from their throats using cricket type sounds. The beings examined her apparently doing something to her stomach.

Rob Carlson had gone to the river in Whitmore Village with his friends to catch catfish. They laid traps in the river for about an hour, intending to come back in the morning to gather up the fish. As they were busy putting in their traps, they heard a blood-curling scream. It sounded at first like a wild man screaming in the bushes right next to them. In a state of panic the witnesses began to run. As they got to the top of the hill, running down a little trail, they came to a curve in the path. As they entered the curve, they all stopped dead in their tracks. An 8-foot tall man was walking down the trail, heading right for them. He was naked except for a cloth around his waist. They turned and ran back to the river. As he stumbled down the side of the embankment, a giant woman stepped out from behind a tree. She must have been at least seven feet tall. Turning downriver they ran until they came out of the ravine safely. Giant footprints were found at the site.

Location. Near Jordan, Ontario, Canada
Date: 1973
Time: late night
Tom Campbell and his fellow musicians on leaving Jordan had a nighttime encounter. He had no recollection of the events until years later. The four musicians had just finished a gig and were busy packing their gear into the van when a stranger whom they had not noticed at the party approached and asked for a lift home. They agreed to let him accompany them. Finally loading the last of the instruments on board, all climbed in and set off for home. For some unexplainable reason they took a service road that bordered the Queen Elizabeth Highway on the north and Lake Ontario on the south. Close to Charles Paley Park the driver saw lights up ahead and thought that there had probably been an accident. Upon stopping, those in the rear, including Tom were curious as to what had happened. To which the driver replied, "I think you had better take a look at this." Upon doing so they were astonished to see a saucer sitting in the middle of the road. Attempting to turn around the driver found that despite his very best efforts, he couldn't turn. Even worse the van appeared to be floating sideways towards the saucer. The drummer, who was in the passenger seat up front, suggested to the driver putting his foot on the brake. Tom noticed that there appeared to be no road, vehicle contact. The van came to a halt within thirty feet of the craft. Soon they saw what appeared to be small figures getting out of the craft. The next thing that was heard was the door handle on the driver's side rattling. Tom could hear footsteps moving down alongside the van to the rear door. At the same time he saw the head of the alien pass the side window. It had white cream-colored skin with black eyes. Suddenly the mysterious hitchhiker leant forward and opened it. When he did so the occupants saw four aliens looking in. One promptly climbed in, yet his head did not reach the ceiling of the van. In the dim light his features were not very clear. It was apparent he had no ears, and a small mouth. His facial muscle showed concern, probably because Tom was contemplating attacking them, but was unable to move. The alien telepathically informed him that his hostile thoughts made him concerned for the safety of his crew. That it was not their intention to harm the band members and their mission was one of peace. They wanted to examine three members of the group. At that point the alien "captain" turned around and caught his foot in the tripod of the snare drum, which promptly rolled out onto the road. One of the crewmembers picked it up and returned it to the van. Three of the band members and the aliens passed down the side of the van and entered the saucer through an egg-shaped doorway, steps were visible and a hallway further on the curve to the left. Entering the craft they saw three chrome cots on wheels. At which point they were asked to undress and then sit on the cots. Soon Tom saw one of the little humanoids wheeling a cart over towards him with what looked like a tray of instruments on it. Some looked like dental probes, and lights. Soon the three captives were taken into separate rooms in which the aliens collected different body samples. Later the three band members were escorted to the door and the bass player was sent. Later getting into the van everyone sat like zombies and also the stranger that had hitchhiked a ride with was gone. Later they drove home. Most of their memories were retrieved years later under hypnosis.

Several witnesses returning from their Christmas vacation were driving an old Valiant car and had just passed the Sussex Inlet turn off when they noticed an approaching light ahead. The object, perceived as a bright light, appeared to reverse direction and began to travel alongside the car. The large object maintained a parallel course to the vehicle for the next 24 kilometers. The object was described as a large disc shaped craft with what appeared to be lighted windows along its length. There appeared to be a searchlight beam that rotated around the bottom of the object. At least one of the witnesses, an army officer, who was very close to the craft, reported seeing figures at the windows of the object.

An unidentified youth, driving on Route 18 approximately 13 miles south of Gaffney, saw a domed UFO sitting on the highway ahead, supported by three legs and flashing various colored lights. Thinking at first it was an accident, he slowed his car. Standing around the object were about a dozen "men" of normal height, dressed in white coveralls; they wore gloves, and their heads were bare. Each had "jet-black" hair and faces "the color of Caucasians." On the uniforms were belts, buckles and buttons and the beings stood in place as the car approached, those facing another direction turning slowly to observe the witness car. They appeared to the witness to be seen through something similar to invisible waves of heat, appearing to "sort of wiggle like a worm." The lights on the object were all colors and the object itself glowed a darkish yellow, the color of an incandescent bulb. On a side away from the witness he observed what appeared to be stairs that seemed to be affixed to a door that swung downward. He said he would have driven under the object had the men not been standing in the spot; the object was large enough to span the highway so that no car could have passed around it. The youth suddenly became frightened and quickly turned onto a secondary road just this side of the object, and sped away. A later visit to the site disclosed no traces of the object's landing.

Ventura Maceiras had a second encounter with two entities; one of the two approached the witness, smiling, and greeted him by placing his left hand on his breast. There followed an exchange of communication telepathically in which Maceiras learned the name of his visitor, "Arnoil," and his companion, "Ninquier." They came from the planet "Prunio," which belongs to the empire of "Lobernia," its major city was 'Arlenquistan," and they were now in their 14,320th year. The witness was shown a book illustrating a surgical operation; three figures resembling globes that contained cancer viruses; and he was instructed on how cancer could be cured. Our earth-moon system was called "Cleotor." The entities made their pitch for goodwill and disclosed numerous other items of interest. They were approximately 1.75 cm tall, had small round ears, "slit eyes," a small, flattened nose, and short fine hair. Before they left they warned Maceiras of impending major seismic disturbances. It was not reported if they arrived or left in a UFO.

Time: 2150
While driving from Iron Knob to Kimba on Route One, Brian Hunt and his passenger, Miss Sharon Kinckler, observed a red light in a clearing to the right of the road. As they passed by, the two observed a red orange lighted area of rectangular shape, about 10 feet high by 5 feet wide, in which could be seen a sharply defined figure of what appeared to be a man in a white spacesuit. The figure was of normal size and appeared to be of ordinary shape, and was suspended in the lighted area some 2-3" above the ground, and floated in the middle of the lighted area some 2-3 feet above the base. Mr. Hunt called the object and figure to his companion's attention as he accelerated past the scene, and Miss Kinckler, upon turning in her seat, said the orange glow seemed to spread across the entire highway behind them. When they arrived at Miss Kinckler's home in Kimba, the local police were called and a constable accompanied them back to the site. No traces were found. Two other independent witnesses were subsequently located; Mr. Allen Degnor, a Ceduna truck driver who passed by the same area at 2200 and described essentially the same phenomenon; and Mr. Max Inglis, who had passed Brian and Sharon just before they came to the site.

Time: 0230A
As they were flying a DC-8 charter cargo plane from St. Louis, Missouri, to Dallas, Texas, two anonymous pilots observed an object over southeast Oklahoma. They had just commenced a gradual descent from 21,000 feet in the vicinity of McAlester when the object appeared off to their right, approximately 5000 feet away, and moving in the same direction. It gave off a strange orange light and abruptly rose straight up like an elevator, then made a right angle turn in the direction of the DC-8 and approached at incredible speed, taking a position about 300 yards away, slightly above them. It was disc shaped, with a clear dome on top, and continued to pace the airliner in the new position. The pilot tried to raise its air traffic controller by radio with no success. The moonlight reflected off the silvery sides of the object, which had two sets of raised fins along its trailing edge; it appeared to be about 75 feet long and 40 feet wide. The pilot switched on his radar and immediately picked up its echo on the scope; almost instantaneously the object began a series of complex maneuvers and took up a new position just below the leading edge of their left wing. It dropped to a position 300 feet below the aircraft and the two pilots were able to see two, perhaps three, indistinct and shadowy figures inside the dome; the object then moved out and ahead of the plane, executed several more maneuvers, and disappeared into the night.

Getting out of bed she looked out the window and saw a strange craft hovering over the utility wires. It had several lighted portholes and Edith thought she could see people or "objects" inside. It was making a quiet swooshing sound. It had an umbrella like protrusion on top. The witness was adamant that the craft was not a helicopter.

On the night prior to this experience, Mrs Maureen Puddy "heard" a voice calling her name. Next morning she perceived a "message" telling her to return to the site of her 1972 encounter. She contacted two investigators of the Victorian UFO group and drove with them to the site. On route she briefly "saw" a man sitting in the front seat of the car; her passengers did not see the figure. As she approached the spot of her earlier encounter, she saw the same figure standing outside the car. The others saw nothing. The figure was normal sized, wearing a white ski suit-type of coverall tucked in at the wrists and covering the feet. He had long blond hair. He beckoned to Mrs Puddy, but she did not respond; instead, she appeared to lose consciousness, although she described what she was seeing to the two passengers of the car; she was in a round room lit by an unknown source; the figure appeared in the room with her, and the room was shaped like a large mushroom with a stem at the bottom and a hemispherical dome on top. It appeared to have an inner hemisphere that appeared to be wobbling, and had what looked like hieroglyphics on it. The figure told her to describe what she saw, which she did; her companions heard this description but still saw nothing themselves. She saw no doors or windows in the room and began to get frightened; she started to cry and 'woke up" with tears in her eyes, but she could recall nothing of what happened in this trance-like stat, or what she just described to the others. About a week later she was driving with her son, seated in the front passenger seat. The same "man" again appeared, this time sitting between them. Apparently her son did not see him. His presence was accompanied by an abrupt change in the weather, which had been rainy and low visibility; it suddenly cleared, and Mrs Puddy could see for miles. The figure vanished abruptly, and the rainy conditions again prevailed.

Helene, 14, was driving the family snowmobile near McWaters, with her 2 brothers and 7 teen aged friends, all on snowmobiles, when a giant "headlight" rose from behind them and passed over the group, illuminating the whole landscape. After it had gone, all the boys went off on a race, leaving Helene behind. The brilliant light source reappeared and flew back over her; she estimated it as 60 ft in diameter. Suddenly its light went out. Helen thought it must be a plane that had crashed somewhere behind her. She turned around and went back about 500 ft, then got off and walked toward a very large dark bulk which she thought she could make out among the trees. She was within perhaps 50 ft of it when a small, cold hand coming from over her shoulder seized her by the chin and tried to drag her backwards. Thinking it must be her younger brother playing a joke, she broke free and pushed her attacker back so that he fell sitting into the snow. Turning to face him, she realized that it was a childlike figure smaller than her 13-year old brother. She ran back to the snowmobile and got a flashlight, turning it on the person, who was now slowly walking toward her. She saw a being about 45" tall, clad in dark, close fitting clothing with a "plated" surface, and wearing a helmet that covered his head down to the chin. Around his face the rim of a "visor", reflected the light, and his enormous eyes also shone brightly in the light, like those of a cat. He was advancing with difficulty, perhaps because of the snow. Terrified, Helene dropped the flashlight, ran to the snowmobile, and fled on it. She was joined by the other snowmobiles, which were returning. Her left arm was paralyzed. She was taken to a doctor at Rouyn, who gave her a sedative. The next day several people went to the place, where they found a large patch of snow melted down to the ground, 50ft in diameter and shaped like a donut. Beside it were the tracks of 2 small bipeds, a few yards away from each other; the tracks were short and broad with a large protruding great toe.

Cirila Montero Lagunes reported that her 3-year old son Ramiro had wandered off one day in March and returned six days later, with a story of having been found by five "little men" (Chaneques) and taken to a cave where they fed him "sweet food" and played with him. He was located from information by a neighbor boy who said the Chaneques had told him where the boy could be found. The boy said he slept in the cave and was looked after by the gnomes, one of who was with him at all times. The hillside below the cave was found to be extremely dense with spine bearing shrubs, and access to it would have been difficult for such a small boy; the adults had to cut a path to the cave's entrance to reach it. It was approximately 9 miles form his home. No connection with UFOs is mentioned.

Olga Adler was in bed suffering from "chronic" back pain, her eyes were closed when the room suddenly became bright. She was suddenly paralyzed. She then perceived a figure in a long, light brown robe, resembling a monk's habit, with the hood pulled up and rendering the face in deep shadows. The figure entered through a closed door and floated across the room. The figure held in his arms what looked like a heavy metal cylinder, which he placed on the witness back as she lay on her side, and pressed down. With contact of the cylinder on the witness back, she could feel comfortable warmth penetrating her body and felt surrounded by a tingling sensation like electricity. The figure held the cylinder there for at least five minutes. It then departed through the closed door and Adler fell asleep. Upon awakening, Adler was astounded to discover that her backache was gone.

A local member of a UFO club had gone out into an isolated area in an attempt to signal UFO's with a flashlight. Suddenly he saw an approaching bright disc shaped object that leveled off and landed very close to the witness. It was a 30-meter metallic disc. A hatch opened and a very tall slender figure emerged, his body was very muscular and he was wearing a wide belt, he walked stiffly, like a robot. His face was not visible due to an intense orange light coming form the landed disc. There was a flash of light from an object in the entity's hand causing the hair of the witness to stand up. The entity then communicated via telepathy with the witness. The witness claims he was taken inside the object to a room where he was shown a film of the alien's home planet and was given numerous revelations.

On February 3 in the same garden the witness had encountered a hovering UFO that emitted intense heat. Pale and trembling Faria said that as he was returning from his bath, he had been seized by the arms, lifted about 8" from the ground, and thrown backwards. He struggled and freed himself, falling on the ground. On his upper arms were visible red marks, apparently from claws that had gripped him. These marks, which were photographed, gradually turned brown and disappeared.

Jorge Roberto Herrera, an engineering student, saw an object shaped like 2 plates put together descend in falling-leaf fashion till within a yard of the ground, on which it then settled, tilted, beside the highway. It was aluminum colored until it landed, then it turned to a dull copper. It was about 16 ft wide. After 3 minutes, legs thrust out, which leveled the UFO. Then Herrera saw beside it a being 5'2" tall, dressed in a white "diving suit" with opaque helmet; the arms were cut off short, without any hands. The feet covered by the suit, without footwear. This entity was not seen to emerge from the UFO. It glided a few feet without walking, then disappeared. A few seconds later the UFO retracted its legs, returned to an inclined position, and took off. Herrera was 50 ft from it at the time. He took one step and found he was at the landing marks, having moved 50 ft unconsciously. There were seven un-symmetrically arranged imprints in an area only about 5 ft square. A small truck came up, whose driver said that he had seen the UFO and that it had caused his engine and his radio to fail. This man drove Herrera, who now felt ill, to Salta; he entered a clinic, where he was treated for 8 days without ever being told the diagnosis.

In the next hour, at intervals of some minutes apart, she saw a total of 25 similar lights or objects flying over a low level-10 to 15 meters above the trees, moving very fast. With the aid of an old optical telescope, she observed in front of one of these objects a "man" standing, handling a "board;" it was a "tiny" figure, but "of great height." He held one arm straight up. The witness reportedly took pictures of some of the objects, "It was impressive," she is quoted as saying, insisting they were not normal aircraft, with which she is familiar, as there is a Belgian Air Base northeast of her locale.

However the experience seemed to be "projected" rather than "solid," and the voices of the entities "didn't seem to come from their mouths." He said that on this occasion he found the pair of boots that he'd lost on their earlier encounter.

M Brechant, his 11-year-old son, Patrice, and his brother in law, Mr. Cosme, were in a car on a dark night on a saucer hunting expedition. In a field near Songeons, 250-300 yards away, they saw a luminous ball whose light diminished in intensity; for a few seconds, 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared beside it. Then they tried to drive around the light and observe it from the rear. This second luminous ball, likewise in a field, was about 200 yards away. From its base emerged a triangular beam of light, its base on the ball, and its point toward the left. Through binoculars, Mr. Cosme could see 2 luminous silhouettes of beings, one behind the beam and one "sliding on it" towards the point, where it disappeared. They seemed to have elongated heads and enormously broad shoulders; he could not distinguish arms and legs, but the one behind the beam seemed to carry a sack on its left side. This silhouette gradually "evaporated," then the beam went out, and then the ball. On their way home the observer's car was pursued by a ball of yellow-white, then yellow green light at treetop level, first seen 300 yards away and later approaching to within at most 50 yards.

Armando Silva and his wife, of La Salina, near Caracaya, were at their country home at the seashore. On the evening of the 28th they had seen two elongated bluish objects high overhead. About 0100A a stifling heat in the house awakened them. Mr. Silva went to the balcony and saw the two blue, capsule shaped objects they had seen earlier, now flying near the shore. One of them dropped into the sea and re-emerged on the surface, then was joined by the second, which bobbed on the surface nearby. Silva meanwhile had gone to the beach to see more clearly. "I was terrified when, at one of the small windows on the strange little object that came down from the sky and fell into the sea a few meters from shore, I saw a tiny figure, like a 5-year old child, and wearing on its head what looked like a great gourd. I cannot say for sure that it was an intelligent being, since I only saw half of its body and its head, which, as I say, looked like a gourd. Nor did I see any arms. And I didn't wait to see if it made any movements, for I took to my heels and ran into the house, where my wife was watching from the balcony, the two things which had come down from the sky and were bobbing up and down in the water." The incident lasted about 15 minutes.

During the night of April 15-16, more than a dozen witnesses reported observations of UFOs in the localized area of Penn and Manor, Pennsylvania, near the larger town of Jeanette. Among these was the report of a single witness who was driving near the Manor Power plant when he observed a large glowing object above nearby railroad tracks, just above the trees. Light from the object illuminated the immediate area, and the witness pulled over to the side of the road and got out for a better look. The object, no more than a hundred yards from the witness, was about 400 yards to the west of the power plant and approximately 10 feet above the treetops. The illumination was of an intense white, and the object itself completely illuminated but apparently solid in construction and about "3 car lengths" wide. It had a dome like structure on top the same bright color as the rest of the object. Around the main section were 2 or 3 rows of lights, or square windows, of a somewhat multi-color-one whitish, another red and the third a blue or green hue. More interesting than the object was "something" that appeared outside it, similar to the Apollo astronauts that were photographed "walking in space." From the left side of the UFO a line extended some 30 yards at the end of which floated a form of some 8 or ten feet tall, of a purple or orange color. The witness did not say it was specifically human form, but it did appear to be similar to a human torso. He did not see the attendant object retracted into the UFO; rather it disappeared like "a string of lights." He had left his lights on and engine running when he got out; 3-4 minutes, the headlights dimmed as low as a weak flashlight. When the object departed, the lights came back on as bright as before. The object made a high-pitched sound "like a spinning top" when it departed. "You could hear the trees blowing" as it went over them.

A family of five traveling by car on a clear night when they began noticing a bright blue white light pacing their vehicle. Eventually they stopped the car on the side of the road near a farm area and the main witness stepped out of the car to observe the light. She next recalled getting back into the car feeling nauseous and thirsty. When they drove to a nearby relative's home the light appeared again and descended low over a nearby field. The object was round and had lighted windows. The witnesses became hysterical and the object suddenly shot up at tremendous speed. Later under hypnosis the main witness was able to remember seeing, in the first encounter, a brown and white calf rise up into the object within a beam of pale yellow light. The witness and her daughter were also transported inside the object. There the main witness watched in horror as two little men, gray in color with huge wrap around eyes with vertical pupils and wearing form fitting black outfits excise tissue from the calf's eyeball, tongue and testicles and then lower the calf into a field apparently already dead. The daughter remembered being escorted into the object by several short humanoids that moved mechanically and performed medical tests on her. One of the beings was taller with different eyes from the others and seemed more compassionate towards the witness and was apparently a female. Both witnesses saw what appeared to be animal parts in a room inside the object.

The witness was driving west on Route 76, near Kent, when he observed a group of flashing lights overhead, almost directly above the car. They moved along the highway with him until finally, out of curiosity, he stopped; so did the lights. Looking up through the windshield, at close to a 90 degree angle, he could see a football shaped object that flashed from red to blue to white, in a repeating cycle; as he watched, he saw a figure materialize approximately 10 feet below the object. The figure was human in shaped, clad all in silver, and rapidly descended to the highway directly in front of the car; when it reached the pavement, the figure was standing rigidly in a position looking to the right, then turned its head to look directly into the windshield at the witness. After about a half a minute, the figure again ascended rapidly, "like a helium balloon," towards the object; disappearing before it reached it. It was shaped exactly like a human, but was entirely silver in color, lacking hair and ears; eyes, a "Dutch" nose and narrow mouth, with small pointed chin, were observed by the witness. He was uncertain as to whether the silvery body was a close fitting garment or the actual skin color, for he saw what appeared to be the faint outline of a vein running down the inside of one of the figure's arms, which he held rigidly downward; on the feet he saw what appeared to be boots or shoes, with a heavy, distinct line between the sole and boot itself. No line of demarcation could be seen between the shoe, or boot and the lower leg. The height of the figure was not much more than 2.5 feet; and it descended to a position approximately ten feet in front of the car. After the figure ascended, the object moved rapidly in a vertical ascent, rocking the car "as if a semi was passing it."

Fay, 7, with a boy about her own age, was on the golf links when they heard a wailing siren like sound. They followed it through a hedge into a swampy meadow. The noise ceased. As they were crossing a brook by a footbridge, a strange figure came out from under the bridge. This person fumbled with a book, dropped it in the water, retrieved it, and then went with "a strange hopping motion, with knees raised high" to a metallic "hut" with no windows. The being was nearly 7-foot tall and neck less. He wore a yellow, pointed, hood like hat with a black knob on top and "wooden" antennae or horns on the sides, and a green tunic with a red collar. "His face had triangular markings for eyes, a brown square of a nose and motionless yellow lips." Other round markings were on his paper-white cheeks, and a fringe of red hair fell onto his forehead. "Wooden slats" protruded from his sleeves and from below his white trousers. There were only three fingers on each blue-glove hand and 3 toes on his bare, white feet. The being carried from the hut a black knobbed microphone, into which he spoke (the children were now 50 yards away), saying "Hello, are you still there?" Since his tone sounded friendly, they approached him. He then wrote in a "notebook", in a large hand, "Hello and I am all colors, Sam." Talking without the aid of a microphone-his lips did not move, and his speech was unclear-he "asked the children about themselves." They "asked about his clothes, which were all ripped" and "asked if he was really a man." "No", he replied, with a chuckle. When they asked if he was a ghost, he answered "Well, not really, but I am in an odd sort of way." "What are you then?" they asked, but he replied, "You know." He also said that he had no name, and "confided that he was frightened of people." At his invitation, the children crawled through a flap into his hut, which he told them he had "just made." It contained two levels. The lower, which "had plenty of headroom", was "wall papered" in blue green and covered with a pattern of dials; there was an electric heater and simple wooden furniture. The upper level, less spacious, had a metal floor. He told the children that he fed upon berries, which he collected, and drank the river water after "cleaning" it. He said he had a "camp" in the mainland. Inside the hut he removed his hat to reveal round, white ears and sparse brown hair. Before eating a berry, he performed an "odd trick" with it; he placed the berry in his ear, where it disappeared and reappeared at one of his triangular eyes; "repeating the process, the berry traveled to his mouth." The children talked to this being for at least half an hour, then rushed across the golf links to tell the firs man they met they had seen a ghost.

An anonymous man "who enjoys an excellent reputation in Bahia" was walking on some river property of his, carrying a shotgun, when he heard a soft humming. Then a man about 5'3" tall appeared in front of him. He wore a brownish gray tight fitting leotard, with boots that appeared metallic, and a wide belt with a very large blue buckle. His face and his hands, which had long fingers, were pallid white, his ears small and pointed, and his head "larger than ours." This man, speaking in Portuguese, told the witness not to be afraid, and to put away his gun, saying that he was "not of this world-I come from a planet that you people call a satellite." He also said that his ship was hovering a few yards above them, invisible to the eye. Then he said, "Good bye, brother, I must go" and pushed a white button on his belt buckle. At this a beam of light shone on him "and then drew away, carrying the man with it", he disappeared a few yards above the witness head.

Onilson Patero, 40-year-old salesman, was driving to his home in Catanduva during a rainstorm; he'd given a lift to a young hitchhiker and dropped him off at Itajobi. About 7 miles from Catanduva, on Highway 321, his car began to lose power and the radio failed, with static interference. At the same time he noticed a circle of light moving about in the car and pulled over, thinking it was from a truck that was passing. He then saw an object about 50 feet ahead and 40 feet over the road; the interior of the car began to heat up and Patero felt a lack of air, so he opened the door and stepped out. A "curtain of light" began to form around the object, and the heat and lack of air diminished. He could now see that this was not a helicopter, and he saw a "tube of light" hit the car and, as it did, the car became transparent. He fainted. About an hour later two young men who drove on to get police help found him; on their return they found Patero still laying in the mud and rain. He came to crying out "they were trying to get me!" He was taken to the hospital in Catanduva, and later released. Over the next several days, he suffered the physical effects of some unknown symptom. The case is cited not just because is a possible abduction; eleven months later, Patero was the principal in an abduction experience in which he vanished for five days, turning up again in Colatina 700 km away. Under regressive hypnosis, he described one of his abductors as the same individual he had given a ride to in the case cited here.

Driving a 6-ton truck loaded with asbestos sheeting, cement, and steel, Manuel Angel Gonzalez was in the vicinity of Cintalapa when he suddenly noticed five little figures standing in the road ahead of him with their arms raised in the air. They had abruptly appeared from nowhere. The driver braked his truck immediately, only a short distance from them. He thought at first they were children, but at closer range he saw they were perfectly proportioned adult figures but no more than 2 feet high, with light brown skin and black hair. He was unable to remember details about their clothing. As he got out of his truck, the little figures began scattering toward the sides of the road, disappearing into the underbrush along the highway. As he turned to go back to his truck, he saw it suddenly engulfed in blue flame; in a matter of no more than 30 minutes, the truck and its normally non-flammable cargo were reduced to ashes and fused metal. Two other motorists who stopped to watch witnessed the conflagration. Interestingly, according to the witness, two days after the truck was consumed by fire, metal fragments that had been collected spontaneously burst into blue flames and were reduced to ashes. The witness related the appearance of the little figures to stories of little people of Mexican folklore, the Chaneques. The investigators later learned that two other trucks were similarly destroyed and that in one case, UFOs were seen.

As she got up to the kitchen sink she looked up at the window and saw an oval-shaped craft hovering above the backyard. It was just a few feet from the kitchen window. She stood for a few minutes unable to move. It had a pulsating light inside an opening and she was able to see several figures standing inside, however she could not see any details or features. She was finally able to move and ran to the bedroom to wake her husband up. By the time her husband came to the kitchen the UFO was gone, but not completely. It hovered around about half a mile away, it seemed to spin and glide gracefully.

Geni Lisboa was busily baking wedding cakes early in the morning when her attention was drawn outdoors by the cries of her pet parakeet. Looking out, she saw an illuminated object approaching her property. The object circled the garden and hovered above the wall, at which time Ms Lisboa, only a few meters distant, could see through the transparent upper portion three identical figures of small stature, behind a kind of "parapet" which hid them from the waist down. Each one was shining a beam of light down as if searching for something when their beams simultaneously converged on the witness, immediately paralyzing her. Feeling some pain and dizziness, she was able to call out for help to her neighbor. But the object had departed before she was able to respond. When her neighbor arrived, she found Ms Lisboa's face swollen and her eyes bloodshot. Her body was painful, particularly in the joints, and especially in the knees, but she continued working until the pain returned and she was forced to call her neighbor again. Her physiological symptoms worsened and she was hospitalized for what the doctors called "prolapsed of the uterus." She had had a gynecological test 6 months earlier and had been healthy. In addition to this, her eyesight worsened after the experience to the point where she was forced to wear corrective lenses for the first time in her life; also, a previous condition of hypertension seems to have made an improvement to the degree where she dropped all previous anti-hypertensive medication.

Having unloaded some merchandise from his truck, truck driver Crisanto Marvel Perez and a companion were napping in the truck when Perez was awakened by a noise; he dozed off again and was again awakened and, through a rearview mirror on the outside of the truck he observed three whitish figures approaching. His companion was still asleep. Through the opposite mirror he saw the three figures peer in the window behind his head; he remained still, as though asleep, but was able to see that they examined the inside of the truck with curiosity. They were generally normal in appearance except for a "parrot-like" nose, and either their skin was scaly or they wore clothes that had a scaly appearance. On their heads was a kind of helmet divided across the top from front to back by a crest. They spoke among themselves in an incomprehensible language that had a sound similar to that made by bats. After they had examined the inside of the truck, the beings moved off, and Perez woke up his companion to tell him what happened; the man was incredulous. Perez drove home and was "very excited," going right to bed. He experienced a "strong fever and headache." Earlier that night, en route to Arecibo, he had observed a star-like object that seemed to be pacing his car. He saw it again on a subsequent night, but did not see the beings again.

Two men in their late thirties were on the way home from fishing when on impulse they decided to pull over on Rio Dam and throw their lines for one last time. They were both about to cast the lines when they noticed an oval shaped craft flying low over the lake and approaching them. The craft was rusty to brownish purple in color and had a dull "matte to purple finish." The object had about five portholes that emitted a green "fluorescent light" from inside. From the front of the object two purple pinkish beams of light swept forward and down to Rio Lake. The beams appeared to have "substance" inside them, apparently sucking up water from the river. The craft reached to about 100 feet away from the witnesses then they saw an entity inside the object. The entity had a leathery, wrinkled looking face and large pointed ears. Its skin was of a light brownish color, it had a round mouth, round eyes, and its face was flattened against the rectangular porthole of the object. It also had two hands thrown up against the window near its head. It moved its mouth and appeared to be exclaiming in great surprise upon seeing that he was being watched. Immediately the object accelerated to a high speed and continued its course quickly disappearing from sight at very low altitude over the dam.

Roberta T. observed from her patio what at first appeared to be a star-like object that descended until it came to a spot just above the trees beyond her patio, at which time it appeared to be a large, illuminated spherical object. As it hovered there a square opening appeared on the side facing her, like "garage doors opening." Illuminated brightly from within, the witness observed a human like figure approach the opening from one side, cross over, and then bend down "to do something." When she uttered an exclamation to herself he abruptly looked up and out at the witness, peering directly at her by leaning out of the opening. He was visible from the knees up and seemed to be wearing a tight garment. He "dropped his head down" as he looked at her and she could see he was tall, with a large head, and with hands that appeared to be busy working on instruments. At that point she heard a humming sound and looking off to her left she saw a second, smaller object approaching in the same direction. It passed a post on the patio and abruptly disappeared; she then looked back toward the first object and found it too had vanished. She then fell asleep and when she awoke later, found herself lying in a different position. Under hypnotic regression, she described seeing the same figure appear before her on the patio. She then describes in vague uncertain ways how she was told not to be afraid, and then "taken somewhere" by being floated upwards. She recalled seeing a dog that had been constantly barking also floating in the air. She was in some dark "enclosed" place where she couldn't see and an instrument of some sort was placed on her head, which made her uncomfortable. There were others around her but she "felt" them rather than seeing them; she had the impression they were "talking" to each other in a language she could not understand. She had the impression there were two people present. When she awoke on the patio, it was some 4 or 5 hours later.

A disk shaped object crashed in the desert on the mountainous area in the extreme western part of Arizona, and was retrieved by the US military. The craft was about 8.4 to 8.7 meters in diameter and about 3.5 meters high, shaped like deep inverted saucer on top, installed on top of each other, with a rim or flat plate between the two parts. On top the disk possessed a small dome. The central rim was segmented by zigzagging structures. On the bottom, there were 3 landing props (they were possibly not outside when the disk was found). A door was opened on the lower section of the disk. The most amazing fact for the retrieval team was that the disk was apparently larger inside than what it looked from outside. The disk was transported to 29 Palms Marine corps base in Southern California (to an underground bunker), where it was placed suspended in a heavy net hanging from a large crane. A photographer was called from Norton AFB, California to photograph the object. The bodies of three aliens were found inside the craft. All three were dwarfs, about 1.0 meter in height, with extremely pale white "skin" (it was later established during an autopsy at Wright Patterson AFB that the white skin was merely a protective covering like pellicle and beneath it, was the real skin, which was lizard-like, and greenish-blue-gray in color). The entities had large black round eyes, and large hairless heads. All three dwarfs were dressed in tight-fitting blue jumpsuits and had 3 fingers both on their hands and legs, with claws and webs. The bodies were later moved to Wright Patterson AFB by aircraft from the 29 Palms base. After a preliminary examination in 29 Palms, the disk was moved to the S4 underground base in Nevada. In February 1993 the disk was removed from S4 and taken to a new underground base on the White Sands missile range, New Mexico, where it is still located at the present. The origin of the disk was established as HD 5015 Cassiopeia Star system, 60 light years from Earth. (This is obviously a more in depth description of the # 2 case and the # 15 cases in the file).

An anonymous 20-year old man, on night guard at a lumberyard, observed a wildly maneuvering light that approached and a point over the nearby ocean, at some 20 meters above the water and hovered, at which time a transparent tube-like extension emerged and descended to the water, apparently taking on water. The operation was accompanied by a strange "cicada-like" sound, and the tube glowed until the operation was finished. The tube withdrawn, the object then approached the witness to a point some 50 meters above his head and he could see through lighted windows around the center several figures. One was visible through a center window, and two more two windows to the right. They were "too small and deformed to be called the shadows of men." During this the witness experienced a feeling of being bound hand and foot; he then noticed several more ball-like objects in the same vicinity; they were quickly withdrawn into the larger object and the UFO moved off rapidly into the north.

There, 100 meters above her, was a circular object about 10 meters in diameter, emitting a bluish luminosity, with a cupola on its upper part and a row of little windows around it, through which a dim light came from the inside, where there could be seen "some strange figures, looking out." The craft remained motionless for several seconds, until a commercial plane went by; the UFO followed it for a few moments before going away toward the sea. It seems that this phenomenon was also observed by a newspaperman of the local daily and by a group of office employees of the Argentine National Airlines. Later, at 1915 Mr. Villegas succeeded in seeing it with his Urano 100 telescope of 200x magnification, making out some shadows that seemed to be moving around inside it; the object was already at a greater altitude. The UFO remained in the sky of Mar Del Plata for 4 hours, during which it was seen by hundreds of witnesses.

A disc-shaped craft about 30 ft in diameter, lens-shaped, with a small dome on top, crashed for unknown reasons. It was retrieved intact and moved at first to an underground hangar at 29 Palms base, where it was placed on a big elevator lift. 3 dead humanoids (not of the gray type, but not described) were found inside. After that, the disk was moved to Wright Patterson and later to the S-4 facility. Incredibly the disk was larger inside than outside. (This bizarre detail has been described in numerous occasions).

A group of three unidentified witnesses observed the descent of a torpedo-shaped UFO over an isolated area near one of the witness ranch. As the UFO hovered near the ground, three "objects" dropped from it to the ground and "ambled" off in different directions. The witness said the "objects" were "animate" and one described two lights in what would approximate the area of the head (or two luminous eyes) of a reddish color. Next day at the site, tracks similar to those of Bigfoot appearances were made in the area, specifically one by a group of people on the night of July 25, at which time a convoy of military trucks appeared on the scene and, under the glare of spotlights, military personnel presumably "corralled" a Bigfoot and carted him off in a truck.

A 16-year old man found and photographed some strange traces in the area. He seems to have experienced a period of missing time. Later under hypnosis he recalled being approached and touched by a human figure. He then became confused and felt being sucked up into a hovering object through an opening underneath. He found himself in a round room where four figures were standing. A woman then entered the room and the beings began talking and touching the witness. He could not move the whole time. He then sat on a chair next to a window and saw the object descend and land. He was then released.

An ungodly looking creature created havoc among the local god-fearing Amish community. Witnesses described the creature as following: The size of a good heifer, gray in color with a white mane. It had tiger like fangs and curved horns like a Billy goat. It ran upright on long legs, and had long grizzly claws. In one incident, the creature sent a team of horses and two brothers flying when it approached their hay wagon. The following day, a man was cutting weeds on his farm about five miles from the previous incident when he heard a fierce roar and turned to see a monster with three horns and a tail charging in his direction. He raised his scythe to defend himself, only to have the implement ripped from his hands. At that point, the man wisely decided to turn both cheeks to the monster and escaped as fast as he could run. A day later a woman was feeding poultry on a farm midway between the two earlier incidents when she heard a commotion and turned to see the creature in the act of snatching a goose in each of its hands. She bravely ran toward the thing, waving her apron. The woman managed to recover one of her geese when the creature threw it at her, knocking her to the ground in the process. The interloper then escaped with the remaining bird in hand.

Edmund, a 19-year old youth from the Amparo settlement, was in the fruit garden of the farm when he noticed agitation among the nearby fruit trees, although the afternoon was calm and all the other trees motionless. Investigating, he discovered a strange spherical object 2 meters wide hovering just above the ground. Atop the sphere was a 10-meter tall contraption that consisted of a cylindrical rod surmounted by a cone shaped device that fanned outward toward the top. The entire object had a metallic sheen and revolved slowly. Edmund approached to within a meter but, apprehensive, retreated to a distance of about 4 meters. At this point an aperture appeared in the side of the craft with a loud bang; from it emerged a small humanoid figure in a one-piece suit that covered his head. Strapped to his back was a rather large, squarish backpack. The entity did not walk, but floated, with a "feverish" swinging of arms and legs in midair. The entity approached Edmund to within a distance of a meter, at which time the youth became panic stricken and fled, seeking others at the farmhouse. As he ran off, he looked back and saw the little being still "hovering" in the air at the spot where he stopped when the boy ran off. When he returned with others, there was no sign of either entity or object. No traces were left at the site.

Margaret and Christine were leaving the park after a visit. Following a lane out of the park they came to a junction where the green ended and a housing estate began. A car drew up quietly behind them. At this point two things happened simultaneously: the radio went dead and the car engine cut out. As if they eyes were drawn by a magnet, Christine, in the back seat with her young friend, looked to the left across an area of open ground. Heading towards them strode two veritable giants moving in a rather mechanical manner, like machines rather than living beings. Both wore one-piece silver suits, emphasizing their over large heads. Christine cannot be sure how long it took the entities to cover the space that separated them, but she does have a vivid memory of the strange beings getting closer and closer to the car, and the car simply refusing to start. When the two beings were almost up to the window, within yards of where Christine sat frozen and unable to move, she experienced a choking sensation and, it seems, passed out. What happened next remains a mystery. When Christine came to, she saw the backs of the two giants as they returned in the direction they had come from. Moments after they had disappeared from view, a cone of light spread around the trees at the edge of the field, as if marking the path of an object heading skywards. At this precise moment the car engine roared into life, as did the radio. A human voice was also heard---the driver of the vehicle behind had rushed up and shouted: "What the bloody hell was that?" When Christine arrived home she noticed that there had been a considerable time lapse.

At a local camping site the witness was walking to her girlfriend's house when she noticed a huge saucer-shaped craft hovering over some nearby treetops. There was no one around and she felt a sense of "isolation" as she watched the object. In a lighted window or "cockpit" the witness saw a figure or "being" that appeared to be operating some controls. At this point several small reddish spheres of light emerged from the bottom of the craft and began circling the area. Afraid the witness ran home and did not see the object depart. A strange thought came to her mind during the encounter as if she was "meant to see this".

A week or ten days later after observing a mysterious light maneuvering in the sky, the witness had to return to Phoenix for more things and she asked her brother to go along with her for company. While driving up a hill somewhere in the vicinity of Indio, she began to receive pictures in her mind and had a sense of presence. These "images" came in grays and browns; she would counter them by thinking of bright colors. She could sense a kind of puzzlement regarding her color images. She found the "gray" images unpleasant, and had the sense of an interior, with gray green walls, which had three vague "forms" in it. Feeling that she was daydreaming and tired, she forced her concentration back to her driving and noticed colors reflecting on the dashboard and asked her brother if there was something in the sky. She and her brother both observed briefly a light over the highway changing colors from blue, to green, to red, to yellow, then to a brilliant white. Then it vanished, in view less than a minute. Her brother was very excited. The trip continued, apparently uneventfully. Later under hypnotic regression the main witness is asked to examine d her image of gray interior more closely. She describes the gray-green walls, with at least one black line, or slot, on the back wall. She is with three vague shapes or "shadows." It's not a pleasant place; she feels there's another experience at another time. She is asked to go back to that experience and she finds herself in another room with a window looking out on an orange sky. There is a white bench in the room. The room is very sterile. Then she finds herself in a huge place with a domed ceiling; she is standing beside a 20-foot high crystal, set at an angle so that it points toward the sky. It's green on the bottom half, and it turns. There are other similar crystals in this place; about five in all, they are hooked to a large piece of machinery. It's similar to a generator. The crystal is connected to the machine by a rod. The whole room hums. There are two other people with her; one dressed in gray, looks older, with grayish hair. The younger man, in black, is taller. They point out a formula to her, which is on the wall; it is composed of script letters. She is brought out of the trance and is given the post hypnotic suggestion that she will recall the formula and be able to reproduce it on a piece of drawing paper, which she does. No other information.

She suddenly woke up with the feeling that someone was watching her; she turned around and was horrified to see a hideous face staring at her from the window. The creature was estimated to have been over nine foot tall and had dark oval upright eyes with no whites no eyelids or eyelashes. It had apparently pushed the shades to the side in order to observe the witness. The creature moved back awkwardly as the witness moved. The witness daughter also saw a huge shadow on the wall from a figure outside. A strong odor like rotten meat remained after the creature had gone.

The witness had been working in her garden and burning weeds when she saw, about 1200 feet away, just above the trees, a round object like two dishes face to face. It was about 60 feet wide and had "lots of windows" around it. She first thought the kids had erected a tree house with old stolen windows, but saw it was too large, and above the trees. She could see a single figure "he couldn't be very tall for sure," walking from window to window. The windows were brightly lit from within. Scared, she and her niece went indoors, with the intention of looking at it through a bedroom window. When they got there, the object was gone. The tops of the trees at the site "seemed tome like they were browned, and as if cut across." She found no other evidence at the site when she examined it the next day.

He then apparently blacks out. He then wakes up standing in the middle of the yard watching the object pass overhead making a hissing sound. It had what appeared to be a row of vents along its top back end and two dull red, glowing areas on the rear. Later the witness was able to recall being taken onboard the object. Inside several seven-foot tall beings with domed heads, no mouths or necks and long wrapped around eyes examined him. At one point he recalled sitting near a console and seeing a set of tube like wires being stuck at the base of his skull.

Mr. Norberto Iglesias was crossing a street when suddenly the streetlights seemed to go out. Moments later he found himself standing in the middle of a field. Nearby sat an object that glowed a "gray-blue" color about 6 to 8 meters in length, it appeared to be smooth and circular. Suddenly he became aware of two "men" standing next to him, one that touched him. They were about 1.55 meters in height. The men wore tight-fitting gray blue coveralls. Since the field was brightly lit by the bright moonlight he could see that the men had dark brown hair, with fine chiseled features and appeared young. The witness heard a voice in his head telling him to be calm. The man standing to his right then offered him a "round pill" which he swallowed. The men then bade him farewell and walked back to the landed glowing craft. The witness then found himself back in the street unaware how he got there.

The husband (driver) slowed down as he passed the cab and rolled down his window, and then saw a strange and frightening "man." The man's head was shaped like a shell (pointed at top, with no neck) and had very piercing dark eyes, which had neither pupils or iris, and no eyelashes or eyebrows. The cranium was bulging; there was no nose, and only an indistinct mouth. The husband is sure he saw the actual skin (which was a "phosphorescent" white), not a mask of any kind. The being made a gesture like a salutation as they drove on. Time of observation, 3 or 4 seconds.

Elizabeth Richmond and her husband were returning home on State Road 24 when they sighted a red glowing object rounded on the top and flat on the bottom. It was sun-like, four times as wide as the sun and much more red. It hovered, appeared solid, and had an outline. The next thing they recalled was seeing the sun in the west, realizing that what they had just seen was not the sun. When they got home they realized that they had arrived an hour later than they should have arrived. Years later under hypnosis Elizabeth recalled that the car had lifted quickly off the road and in an instant they were inside the bottom of the huge circular craft. Alien beings quickly but gently took them out of the car and into separate rooms. The beings were about 4 or 5 ft tall with large dome shaped baldheads, huge black wrap-around eyes, small noses, and slits for mouths. They had long dangling arms with claw-like nails, and were dressed in metallic like gray jumpsuits. Elizabeth lay on a table with three aliens on each side and one at her feet. She was terrified but could not scream. One alien took hold of her hand and told her telepathically no to be afraid. An instrument was put up her nose into her head. She felt nothing. Then she was put into a sitting position and something was done to the back of her head. The aliens discovered that she was wearing a wig. This caused some merriment, and one alien touched his own baldhead, perhaps indicating they should wear them. After that she was carried to another room and the alien who had held her arm came in and sat before her. Taking her hands in his, he said his name was "Maag" and he was happy to see her again. She was told that she and him had been mates and that that they had two daughters who were now aboard the spacecraft. He asked to see them. The humanoid then touched a light, doors opened and two beautiful aliens entered the room. They rushed across the room and embraced Elizabeth. They said she had volunteered to reincarnate on Earth (as did many others) to help usher in a new era of world peace, and we would learn more about it later---when the time was right. They said that our planet
