1976 Humanoid Reports: The Dam breaks!!!!

1976 must be considered a landmark year as far as encounters with bizarre humanoid creatures and alleged contacts with strange beings. Beginning with a number of encounters with a winged creature in Texas and the classic Kentucky abduction of three women and the repeated landings in Isere France, 1976 never let up. Encounters were many and widespread. The US, Brazil, Britain, Europe were all main focal points of encounters, but bizarre encounters were reported also from Spain, Iran, Australia and Italy. After the 1975 madness, which included the SAC bases overflights 1976 was not about to be outdone. After everything is said and done, it could well be the record year. Following are the known reported cases.



1.
Location. Near Elliott Northern Territory Australia
Date: 1976
Time: unknown
A large bright object landed near the elderly witness and several beings (undescribed) emerged and took him onboard the craft. He was asked several questions concerning life on earth. He was then returned unharmed to the same spot where he had been picked up. No other information.

Location. El Pedroso, Sevilla, Spain
Date: 1976
Time: 0100A
Four friends, three local police officers and a professor had gone out on a hunting trip and as they drove near the town in the vicinity of a curve they saw about 100 meters away a human like figure, about 2 meters in height, floating about half a meter from the ground. They slowed the vehicle and observed the figure from a close distance. The figure wore a shiny white outfit and his facial features were not visible. He wore a white belt that had a bright rectangular light on the buckle area. They stopped the vehicle about 100 meters away and drove up to the side of the road not knowing what to do. As they sat there they saw through the rearview mirror a huge brilliant object apparently on the ground, oval in shape that emitted a dim uniform light. Afraid they decided to cancel the hunting trip and drove away from the area.

Location. Molebka area, Perm region, Ural, Russia
Date: 1976
Time: 0300A-0400A
After suffering a job-related injury to his back the 18-year old witness, Vladimir S. was sent to this region by his family for repose and to seek locals with curative powers which were known to live in the region. His injury required him to walk with a cane. While there he camped, along with several others on a small peninsula by the river Chosovaya. Immediately he was struck by the apparent complete absence of wildlife in the area, including insects in an area with some trees and plants. One night at the end of his stay in the area Vladimir woke up around 0300A in order to satisfy a certain physiological need. At about 20 meters from the tent he noticed a luminous egg-shaped object rising out of the river. Stunned he stood watching as the object hovered in total silence in front of him. The craft was luminous matte yellow in color and apparently translucent which emitted a strong heat that the witness felt engulf his face. Inside the object stood a humanoid about 1.90m in height, with arms tightly held against its body, it had long hair and the witness was unable to see its feet. Suddenly from the top of the object a green beam of light shot out striking the witness full on the face like a photo flash, he was unable to see anything for several seconds. When he was able to see again he noticed the object flying away into the distance and disappearing from sight. Very soon after this incident the witness recovered completely from his injuries and did not necessitate a cane to walk every again.

Comments: Early report from this well known anomalous region in the former Soviet Union rich in bizarre encounters and other type of phenomena. This case appears illustrates the apparent healing affect of the UFO and its occupant on the fortunate witness. (Translated by Albert S Rosales).

Time: 0400A
A Mr. Lima, age 45, was driving when he observed two entities of humanoid appearance on the side of the road. They were about 7-feet tall, appeared to be of a blue/green color and the skull at the level of the ears formed a swelling. He also noticed a bright yellow light behind a wall and a noise resembling compressed air that caused the leaves on the trees to move. The engine of his car experienced difficulties and his light beams lost brightness.

6.
Location. New South Wales, Australia (exact location not given)
Date: 1976
Time: noon
A 31-year old woman was doing household chores when she suddenly felt ill. Suddenly three little beings appeared in front of her. One of the beings was five-foot tall, slender and with an elongated face. The other two were much shorter, with chubby, broader faces. All three had large eyes, very small noses, and mouth. All wore monk like cloaks. Telepathically the taller being told the witness that she had to go with them. She refused and next recalled seeing her fiancé at 1730 when he arrived home. A hypnotic regression proves fruitless.

Date: 1976
Time: 1500
The young witness stepped out of his house to find the area strangely quiet and deserted. He looked up and saw a strange object that appeared to be descending rapidly. As it came closer he could see three beings inside the transparent object. One was standing in the middle dome while the other two were seated besides the taller standing being. The middle taller being, seemed to be pointing at the witness. The object was moving in a zigzag fashion. The tall being was wearing a long red robe that covered his feet. It had a gray beard and small Oriental eyes. The two smaller beings were bluish in color and had what appeared to be an oxygen hose coming out of their mouths. Frightened the witness ran back into the house and did not see the object depart.

Comments: Interesting report from a country from where very few humanoid reports are known. The description of the tall entity is interesting since an almost identical humanoid was reported in France in 1951 inside a similar object. The two short “bluish” humanoids appear to be from a different species. According to information from the Indonesian UFO Group “BETA UFO” this case most probably took place in 1985!

Location. New Mexico desert, exact location not given
Date: 1976
Time: evening
After a bitter family dispute the witness drove his truck to a prairie area southwest of town. He parked the vehicle and began walking around the area. He then heard a rustling sound from behind the sagebrush and then saw a tall figure approach. The figure left, then the witness heard a whistling noise and became paralyzed. A tube suddenly came down engulfing the witness and transporting him up into a hovering object. He floated through some kind of passage that took him into a room where he landed on a glass like table. As he lay there four tall figures came into the room. They began to examine him using a strange scanning device. All the data picked up by the device was fed into a peculiar gray screen where the witness saw his internal organs. The beings were described as seven-foot tall, grayish in color, with 3-fingered hands. They were friendly and wore flexible armor type suits and dark opaque helmets. After awhile the beings conversed among themselves and released the witness down the same glass like elevator or tube.

Hercilia da Costa, then 9, was walking home from catechism class and as she passed through a patch of woods she saw a light ahead. Seconds later she came upon an object sitting on three legs on a dry riverbed. Gathered near it were seven men about six-feet tall in dark tight-fitting diving suits. They appeared to be surprised to see her and stared at her. One was kneeling and putting pebbles into a transparent bag. He spoke to her in an unknown language. The men looked like normal humans, they had normal mouths, long pointy noses normal hands and appeared to have no hair or the clothing covered their heads. They wore black boots that came to mid-calf. The object was round, silver colored, had a door and two little round windows with dark glass in them. Hercilia also remembers seeing two red lights on the front and hearing a motor noise. Later at the site were the object had rested, footprints and square holes were found on the ground.

Location. Brunoy, France
Date: 1976
Time: late evening
The main witness and a friend were walking back home along a darkened street when they suddenly heard a whistling sound at the end of the street, looking up, they saw above a nearby house a hovering dark mass, in the center of the “mass” there were several circular multicolored lights, the mass emitted three flashes of light and passed over the witnesses, who terrified ran to their house. Later along with his father the main witness searched the area but found nothing. Years later the main witness was able to recall more details about the incident. There had been an apparent time lapse. The witness recalls that at the time of the object emitted the three flashes it descended towards the ground. A circular opening became visible and a cloud of “gas” seemed to envelop the witnesses. Both felt as if they were taken onboard the object through the opening. Inside they found themselves standing in a round entrance with two bright corridors. One of the corridors darkened and then both witnesses entered the lighted corridor and follow it. There a small entity confronted them. The entity was slightly smaller than the witness, dark green-khaki in color with a disproportionate sized head as compared to its body; it had large almond shaped eyes, a very flat slit like nose, and a long lipless mouth. The entity communicated by using telepathy and the witnesses answered back in French. He asked them not to be afraid that he was not going to harm them. The main witness was then escorted to a table and made to lie down on it. At the same time, other entities, gray in color and different from the other entity accompanied his friend to another table; his fried resisted and struggled with the entities. The green entity told the witness that the “gray” aliens were malicious but that his friend should not be afraid. The gray entities proceeded in taking skin, nail, and blood and hair samples from both witnesses. From the ceiling a “machine” with a long needle descended. The green entity told the witness not to be afraid as the needled is inserted into his left nostril. He feels extreme discomfort and feels something was inserted into the nose cavity. After the physical examination both witnesses found themselves in a room with the green-khaki colored entity. The main witness was told to follow the entity into another room, but his friend was told to remain behind. He was taken into a room where he saw charts and screens on the wall and what appeared to be “star maps”. Using telepathic means, the entity told the witness that he was from another planet and that he was a biologist. Apparently as a reward for being cooperative, the alien showed the witness a screen where he saw other planets. The alien said that they would return in 20 or 30 years. Soon the witness found his friend in the corridor; they heard an unknown voice and were transported to the ground within a cloud of vapor. At this point is when the 2 terrified witnesses ran home in a panic.

Comments: Very intriguing abduction report. Apparently the khaki-colored entity was operating in conjunction with some “grays” onboard the craft. It is interesting that this entity mentioned that the gray entities were indeed evil or malicious, but then why the cooperation between the two groups?

Time: late evening
The witness, VVK, went to this café several times a week to have a beer. One day he saw a tall and very handsome blond-haired man with blue eyes sitting alone on a table, drinking water. He struck up a conversation with the man and learned he was an extraterrestrial, who did not know what to do in Belgium (?) and had no money to pay the water he was drinking. VVK paid for the water and offered the stranger lodging at his apartment. At this point the witness tried to interest the Belgium UFO group SOBEPS about his “guest” but they were not interested. One day the tall “extraterrestrial” disappeared along with the witness wife, never to be heard from again, leaving him alone with his little daughter. (?)

A man reported that two short gray skinned beings had appeared in his bedroom one night and they had somehow transported him through the roof and into a hovering object. He was put on a table where a large gray eye like probe apparently examined him. He was also shown a number of images and was told by the aliens “A thousand of your years are but one day to us.”

One night the witness was riding his bicycle just south of the village when his dog, a large black lab, took off ahead growling and barking. The dog headed for the opening to a cottage driveway. The witness approached and saw what he though at first was a big large cat, but then it appeared just like a white shape. He dismounted his bike and attempted to stop his dog from attacking the creature. While he was shouting at the dog, the creature moved towards a bunch of cedar trees and then stopped. Just as the dog was about to pounce on the creature, “it stood up.” It was about 3 ft tall, with long willowy arms and a large head. Then the creature emitted a sound that was hard to describe. It resembled a very loud sub-sonic grunt or blast. The witness felt surrounded by the sound. The dog stopped in its tracks, turned, and ran behind the witness with its tail between its legs. Terrified the witness ran down the road with his dog, pushing the bicycle ahead of him. He did not see the creature again.

Manolis S, an amateur astronomer, was observing the night sky with his telescope when he saw a “flying figure” crossing the disk of the moon, in a distance of “some dozens of hundreds of meters.” He was greatly surprised. The creature was moving very slowly. It must have been as tall as a human, with united legs and open, unmoving wings, like the letter “T.” Its color was light tan and the witness had the impression that the entity was semi-transparent and also had the impression that the flying creature was looking at him. A friend told the witness that he had a similar experience with a flying creature, again in Rhodes.

The witness, who lived near the local Boeing Aircraft plant at the time, had stepped out of the house for a breath of fresh air when he noticed what he thought were helicopter lights approaching and stopping to hover over a nearby building at the Boeing plant. Suddenly the lights shot straight up, went to the north end of the plant, and descended to hover again. The object then made a quick arc and came up to the witness house. The witness was now able to see the object clearly and described it as a circular silvery object with a curved low top and sides, which sloped inward towards the bottom. Around the sloping sides was a continuous row of windows separated by thin vertical supports. The craft had a yellowish amber light in the center of the top. Several moving figures or images could be seen moving back and forth in front of the lighted background in the center section behind the windows. After about three minutes the object moved slowly away in an arc towards Lake Washington disappearing from sight behind trees.

The witness was lying in bed suffering from insomnia, when she heard a noise coming from outside, she looked out the window and saw a disc shaped object hovering about 25 feet up. She attempted to wake her husband, but it was no use. She suddenly was overcome with a peaceful feeling and found herself standing next to the saucer. A door opened and she walked in. A voice told her to leave her nightgown at the door. She walked through a beam of light and into a room where there were six women, each from a different country. Each of the women were given translators bracelets so that they could understand each other. Suddenly a voice rang out saying “The creator would be in, in a moment,” and a man about seven-feet tall walked in. He was described as “beautiful” with white hair, a white beard, and wearing a white robe. He told the women that they were there for a specific purpose. She was apparently given some information that she will remember when the time comes.

The witness suddenly woke up and sat up in bed, she then saw a small ship about the size of a volleyball. Three little figures exited the object. They asked her via telepathy if she would like to come onboard. She briefly blacks out and the next thing she remembers was standing at the kitchen table. Three little humanoids stood at the other corner, one seemed to be talking. The beings put a map on the table and apparently showed the witness where they were from. Suddenly the beings and map disappeared. The beings were described as having round shoulders, funny shaped heads, no hair, gray color, and friendly in nature. They seemed to have been taller while in the kitchen. The craft was round with a dome on top.

During a rash of sightings in the area, which included disc-shaped objects, triangular objects, and large glowing globular objects, a witness, a foreign student, reported that while camped on an island in the inter-coastal waterway, he encountered a small, four feet tall silvery entity. He reportedly took a Polaroid photograph of the humanoid creature. Several research organizations, and one photographic specialist examined this photo, but no conclusion was reached concerning the validity of the entity.

While guarding an ammunition depot near a freight train a military guard observed a strange figure about 1.20 meters in height, black in color that was moving over the train tracks in a very quick and agile manner. Two guards approached the figure and pointed their rifles at it and it suddenly turned around and stared at the two men with two large bright red glowing eyes, it jumped up into the darkness and disappeared. Other soldiers at the base had seen a similar figure around the same time and strange objects over the area had also been reported. One night, in the same base a soldier was given the task to guard a metallic cage, which contained a weird reptilian creature that emitted strange, grunting sounds. One night while standing duty a dark helicopter landed and three military personnel exited the craft, these proceeded to pick up the cage with the humanoid and left immediately. The guard described the humanoid as resembling a “reptilian penguin” with strong jaws and claws. It was about 40 cm in height. The guard observed that the helicopter lacked any identifiable markings on it.

25.
Location. Barsakelmes Island, Aral Sea, Kazakhstan
Date: 1976
Time: night
About a dozen special KGB troops including 3 officers and led by a Major were dropped off at the island by a launch during military maneuvers in the area. As they patrolled the uninhabited island the group entered a strange fogbank. At this moment the Major perceived an incomprehensible anxiety. His expedition was a cover for a special operation designed to verify countless reports by locals of bizarre phenomena observed in the island and surrounding territories, which included flying luminous spheres, feelings of groundless horror and encounters with mysterious beings. The fog suddenly dissipated and the soldiers stumbled into a high fence, which according to maps was not supposed to be there. Weapons at the ready the men climbed the fence and arrived at an area next to a large rocky hill, next to the hill they saw a silvery sphere about 5 meters in diameter sitting on the ground, it brightly reflected the sunlight. Next to the sphere stood three strangely dressed persons, on the belt of each hung what appeared to be a “laser gun” as perceived by the Major and his troops. The Major silently ordered his soldiers to noiselessly move along the fence and be prepared for battle. The plan was to detain the strangers and if necessary to use force. Major waved his pistol and the men silently rushed the sparkling sphere. The figures standing around it reacted and attempted to grasp their weapons but were instantly cut down by the soldier’s automatic fire. After ordering the men not to touch anything the Major searched the corpses of the strangers. He took out a long thin tube, which had a knob with several colored buttons from one of the stranger’s belt. After directing the muzzle into the sand he pressed one of the buttons but nothing happened. Suddenly they heard a whistle and all the men including the Major squatted down expecting trouble, at this point the Major noticed that at the spot where he had pointed the strange “weapon’s” muzzle there was a large round spot of melted sand. He realized that it had taken a very high temperature to perform this. One of the soldiers then came running over reporting that he found a small cave on the rocky cliff. Led by the Major the soldiers enter the grotto and after a short passage entered a small hall, lined by rows of long tables filled with incomprehensible equipment, in the center of which, was located an apparent control panel. At the tables and inclined over the instruments were several huge man-like figures over two meters in height, wearing silvery overalls. Outwardly these giants were very similar to people. Other smaller figures also wearing silvery coveralls walked along the tables. A bright light from an unknown source illuminated the hall. The men began firing their weapons in all directions and the dwarf-like figures began falling, however the bullets appeared to have no effect on the giants whatsoever. Menacingly the giants rose from their seats and rushed the men who began a panicky retreat. As the men ran like mad towards the shore they heard a loud cracking sound behind them, looking behind them they saw bright beams of white light being directed towards the sky, which changed colors to red, to blue and then to multicolored waves of light. After several minutes the lower end of the beam of light became thin as a needle and began to describe circles above the island, moments later the stunned men saw what appeared to be a fiery conflagration above the island, which lasted for about 20 minutes. Suddenly everything disappeared. The men were debriefed and threatened not to divulge what had occurred. No traces were located during a search, according to KGB sources.

Time: afternoon
Shelley W was living in a cottage and had broken her foot, playing cricket, thus was resting one afternoon. The tinkle of bells could be heard although her husband, on entering the room with a cup of tea, heard nothing. Shelley heard the words, “Mayo, Mayo” and felt an alien presence wished to implant a transistor in her head to make a clearer reception. She experienced the feeling of skimming across water, but somehow resisted being taken to an unknown destination. The words, “No time” kept coming up, to mean there is no such thing as time and “You’re woman” was clearly stated. A form of contact was maintained in the months ahead through channeling. Her son, then 17, and a friend rushed indoors after seeing what were said to be have been a “spacecraft”. The sightings were so convincing that they reported it to the police and the press ran a story. Shelly, through channeling, made contact with tall, faired hair, blue-eyed beings on a mission of goodwill to save the planet. Our planet was described as the most violent of them all, but that could be reversed. These aliens were producing hybrids whose purpose was unclear.

In a dream like state the witness found herself lying on a table. Her clothes were gone and her legs were slung over the arms of a man, or so she thought until she looked up at his face and saw that it was not human. There stood a being that had the head of a dog with long pointed ears, a long muzzle, reddish brown fur on the face and neck, light colored eyes. His body was human looking. It was pale but the sexual organ had reddish stripes as well as hi slower abdomen and buttocks. She struggle to get up but was unable to. She looked at him and asked what was going on. This seemed to make him angry. Suddenly she was forced to look at his eyes. They began to spin around like a pinwheel. Then his long tongue shot from his mouth straight at her face. At that moment the witness felt fear like she never had before. She felt close to death. She then fainted. The being was about 5’11” to 6’ tall. She couldn’t see the lower part of his legs or feet. She suddenly woke up in her bed with a terribly start her heart pounding. About a month later she discovered that she was pregnant. Around the same time she began to see little twinkling lights. She would see hundreds of them at one time. They seemed to be always there and were very comforting. They seem very nosey sometimes. She had a normal pregnancy with no problems. When her son Tony was born there were no problems. It was completely natural. But when he was placed in her arms, she noticed large splotches of light all around. The colors were white, electric blue, and gold. They were so intense that she asked if anyone else could see them. No one else could. In August 1988 she received a Time-Life book in the mail. It was about mythical creatures. She sat down and looked through the book and then she came across a page that had a picture of a statue on it. It was a being that she had seen in her dream like state 11 years earlier. His name was Anubis. Upon seeing the picture her son Tommy told her that she had seen the same being in his dreams. He said that the dream was always the same. He would be walking into this pyramid and when she got inside the creature called Anubis would step down from behind a wall and start talking to him. He couldn’t remember what was being said. He described the creature as having dark reddish brown fur on the face, and peach color skin and wearing a skirt-like thing that was red in color.

6-year old Hermann E Bossi was suddenly awoken by what he termed were “holograms” somehow projected on the western wall of his bedroom, opposite to his bed. He saw two holograms resembling “chimneys” that appeared to be speaking (!) in an unknown language, similar to a high speed squeaking. In great fear Hermann ran out the bedroom door but apparently the “holograms” followed him along the corridor. He went into his parent’s bedroom and waited. After about half an hour a loud humming-buzzing sound filled the room, the sound came at intervals of about a second each. An unknown force somehow made the young witness leave his parent’s bed and in their bedroom (I assume his parents slept through the whole fantastic event)) he was confronted by several robot-like figures shaped like flat cylinders, black metallic in color, with a indentation on the top. He also saw another type of cylinder, larger than the others that apparently guided the other robots. Without any self control Bossi climbed on top of one of the smaller cylinders and felt totally glued to it, like a piece of iron on a magnet. The cylinder then flew out to the corridor, followed by the other cylinders as the witness held on wanting to cry but unable to move a muscle. As the witness flew on top of the cylinder through the corridor he was somehow able to switch a light switch on, but he was further drawn through the corridor. But after a few seconds the cylinders seem to disintegrate under him. In great fear he ran to the kitchen in search of a weapon for self-defense. His next recollection was of seeing an “owl” that stared at him through the kitchen window. He stood at the window opposite to the “owl” and also stared at it. Finally he went back to his parent’s bedroom and slept between his father and mother. After some minutes he felt a presence in the room but could not see anyone. He felt calm in the presence of the invisible visitors and in his mind he could hear the names, “Hather & Uasyr”. Finally the invisible beings left. His parents remained asleep.

A traveling salesman was driving his car on the Saukkoaava Road towards Vuostimo when he was near the outskirts of Kemijarvi close to the Niskala farm he spotted a large disc-shaped bright object descend gently towards the ground, flying over his car. As this happened his vehicle engine ceased to run and he had no choice but to stop the car. The bright object landed on the road some 100 meters away. The witness estimated the object to be about four 4 meters in diameter and one and a half in height. It was shining brightly. A few minutes’ later two small humanoids appeared besides the object. In the darkness the witness could see that they wore strange looking dark green suits and were about 80 cm in height. The two humanoids began to walk towards the witness car, but when they were about 40 meters away they suddenly turned around and hurried back to the object. The witness did not see how they entered the object but the object ascended almost at once straight up and vanished behind some thin clouds without a sound. When the object disappeared he was able to re-start his car again. He drove to scene where the object had landed and he found three landing marks, five cm wide and two & a half meters apart.

Upon seeing him, the three beings turned about and disappeared. Two days later in the same enclosure in which he kept his herd, the witness once again observed two beings of similar appearance as earlier. He went into the village and returned with the police, but the beings had by then disappeared.

During a storm, the 10-year old witness saw a very large bird-like creature land silently about six feet from him. It was at least eight ft tall, with large glowing red eyes and a wingspan of about 20 ft. Terrified, the witness stood frozen in place. At that point his dog ran towards the creature barking furiously. That apparently broke the spell and the witness screamed and jumped on top of his father’s car. The giant bird like creature then flew off as silently as it had arrived. The witness continued to scream until his father came out. His father found strange prints on the ground.

A security guard finishing his rounds encountered a huge brilliant red light hovering above some trees near a construction site. As he approached the site to investigate he was able to see a large hovering saucer shaped object with a hump on its center bottom section. It was surrounded by red light. As the witness moved closer to the object he heard a low whirring sound and the object descended and landed on a tripod like gear. A stairway like protrusion descended towards the ground. Then a figure appeared and began to climb down to the ground. The humanoid was described as eight-foot tall, with long dangling arms a huge torso and two stump like legs. His face was long and oval shaped, it had two large tear shaped eyes. The witness felt paralyzed as the creature began moving towards him using high loping steps. The witness felt a strong humming inside his skull and smelled an odor resembling rotten eggs. Moments later on the road behind him a car went by, this apparently caused the creature to walk back and board the object which then lifted off at high speed and disappeared.

The witness was exploring a remote area of the Amazon jungle when after getting up one morning he observed a silent disc shaped object pass overhead and descend out of sight behind some trees. The witness prepared a backpack, grabbed his machete, and walked towards the direction where the object had descended. He eventually came upon a large disc shaped craft that hovered over some nearby bushes. As he stood watching he felt somebody touch his arm, as he turned around two tall blond men wearing silvery one-piece coveralls confronted him. The men had several strange instruments hanging from pockets on the coveralls. They spoke to the witness in a soft melodic unknown language. While they spoke, one of the men took out a small apparatus from his pocket and seemed to adjust it. Suddenly their language became clear and understood by the witness, who spoke German. They spoke to the witness, telling him that they originated from the star cluster known as Proxima Centauri.

Tracey Lawson, eleven, and her cousin Jackie Davies fourteen, were playing in Tracey’s backyard in an area in the Rio Grande Valley. As they looked out on a plowed field beyond the yard they noticed an unusual object standing some 100 yards away, near a borrow pit bordering an irrigation canal. Tracey went inside her house to get field glasses, through which she observed a “horrible looking” black bird of extraordinary size, over five feet tall. Its wings were folded around its body, and the bird was staring at the girls through large, dark red eyes attached to a gray “gorilla-like” face. Its head was bald, and it had a beak at least six inches long, it made a loud, shrill “eeee” sound. The bird or whatever it was lost to view for a few moments, reappearing on the northeast corner of the property, its head poking above a small clump of trees. The girls fled inside and told Tracey’s mother and father, who did not believe them. But the next day Jackie’s stepfather, Tom Waldon, found strange tracks, three-toed, eight inches across, and square at the head, pressed an inch and a half into the hard ground. Stan Lawson also noted how oddly the family dog was behaving. It cowered inside the doghouse all day, leaving it only at suppertime, when it bolted into the house and had to be dragged out. That night Lawson thought he heard large wings scraping across the bedroom window, but whatever caused the sound left no trace of its passing.

The witness, who had been camping in an isolated area, was walking back to the cabin when he saw two “youngsters” who appeared to be skiing, approaching along an old hiking trail. They seemed to be wearing some sort of light colored reflective outfits. A few minutes later the road dipped slightly and he lost sight of them briefly. He soon regained the previous view in time to see the two young figures crossing the road to his side. He could not see the figures clearly, but they both appeared to be engaged in earnest conversation. Before they had come close enough, the two figures left the road, crossed a shallow firebreak ditch, and disappeared into the forest. Surprised the witness arrived at their last location and failed to find any footprints or marks on the snow anywhere. No path existed at the site where the two figures had vanished and there was a river on the other side of the forest. The witness retraced his steps from the cabin and failed to locate a single solitary footprint from the strangers.

Jean Claude Silvente, 10, was walking through a brush grown vacant lot (surrounded by buildings) when he heard a noise, and saw that a UFO had landed at the edge of the brush. About 30 feet away, it was a bell shaped object about 15 ft high, white luminous, resting on 5 thin legs. A door opened and a “giant” at least 6.5 foot tall emerged, walking stiffly and with his arms extended in front of him, in the manner of a sleepwalker. He wore a tight white luminous coverall and had long blond hair. On the back of his hands was a green circle. When the boy sneezed, this “giant” turned toward him, and Jean Claude ran home. Shortly afterwards he was sent to get milk; while returning, he saw the same being, following him on the sidewalk at 80 ft distance, still with his arms stiffly in front of him. The witness ran home.

Mona Stafford, Louise Smith, and Elaine Thomas were in a car driving home when they saw a luminous object descend from the sky. It came down the road toward them and they saw it was a football shaped object “as big as a house” with a small dome on top, surmounted by a very brilliant blue-white light. It came toward them, passed them on the right, and came to the road again behind the car. The intensity of the light gave them headaches. Then the car moved without their control, traveling at 85 mph although the driver’s foot was not on the gas; it seemed to be pulled backwards by the beam of light from the UFO. They found themselves entering Hustonville with no recollection of how they got there. When they arrived back at Louise’s house in Liberty, they found that more than 2 hours had elapsed, although the trip normally takes 45 minutes. All 3 women had burns resembling very strong sunburn on the backs of their necks. Under hypnosis all 3 remembered being physically examined, presumably onboard the UFO. Elaine Thomas recalled lying on her back while small figures about 4-foot tall passed by and looked at her; a blunt instrument pressed hard against her chest, and her breathing was interfered with. Louise Smith recalled being in a hot, dark place where something was placed over her face; when it was removed, she saw a being 4.5 foot tall, with slanted eyes, gray skin, and hand like wingtips. Mona Stafford remembered lying on a bed, her right arm pinned down, while 3 or 4 figures in white gowns sat around her, and she was put through torturous manipulations. All 3 women passed lie detector tests.

Alverico Guajardo heard something hit his trailer, dashing outside he got into his station wagon, drove it slowly around the south side of the trailer and shone his headlights on “something from another planet.” As the lights hit the creature, which had been lying on the ground, it suddenly rose up and stared at Guajardo with blazing red eyes the size of silver dollars. For the next 2 or 3 minutes it stood gazing at the man, who sat immobilized with fear. The creature was 4-feet tall, with black feathers and a beak whose length was between two and four feet. It was making a “horrible sounding noise” from its throat, which appeared to be pulsating. Its long bat-like wings were folded around its shoulders. The creature then backed carefully away toward a dirt road three feet away. By the time Guajardo had gathered enough courage to bolt out of his vehicle toward a neighbor’s house, the creature had vanished into the darkness.

Nikolay N, a truck driver from a glass-packing plant from the town of Kerch (Crimea) was driving his “Kolhida” truck (lorry with trailer) on the road in the Western Ukraine on his way to the town Ivano-Frankovsk felt very tired and stopped on the side of the road in order to have some rest and sleep inside the truck’s cabin. About 0100A someone from outside knocked on his cabin. Nikolay awoke and noticed three men standing near his truck. They were of average height, resembling normal humans (it was dark and the facial details were hard to discern). They were dressed in what appeared to be gray-beige sweaters. In a “pure” Russian dialect the men yelled out that their “car” was stuck that they needed assistance. Being very helpful in nature, Nikolay without hesitation exited the cabin and followed the men. Soon they approached an area but there was no car in sight, instead, a cylinder-shaped object, standing vertically, very much resembling an oil tower derrick. The upper section of the object was dome-shaped and gave off some light from inside. A hatch was opened in the lower section of the object from which a ladder descended to the ground. Interestingly Nikolay felt either fear or apprehension while looking at the spectacle. On the contrary he felt as if he were among old friends. The “aliens” invited Nikolay to enter the craft. He stepped onto the ladder and ascended entering a room resembling a salon. They asked him to seat on a chair, purple-reddish in color, with elbow rests and very soft. 3 male aliens stood in front of him while he heard other voices emanating from another room, one was male the other voice belonged to a female. While seating on the chair he apparently lost consciousness. He awoke laying on an examination table, his hands stretched over his head and his body covered with what appeared to be sensors or different devices. Confused at first he asked a female alien standing nearby where he was and what was wrong with him. A young man dressed in a tight-fitting overall, reddish in color approached him and told him not to worry that he was in their base. Soon after that Nikolay stood up and entered another room along with his alien guides. This room was a huge hall, about 12-13 meters in height, filled with numerous strange devices, tall boxes and instrument panels that saturated the hall. He remembered seeing a map of the Earth hanging near the control panels, surrounded by numerous lighting fixtures. Near the panel sat two aliens, one male and one female. He was able to hear part of their conversation as they spoke about a recent flight. (Strangely the communication was telepathically, but in the pure ancient Russian language). Soon Nikolay’s guide approached him and told him, “We are on the moon, and now we can go to its surface”. This remarkable statement caused neither fear nor amazement on Nikolay as he was apparently under some kind of mild mind control. He was to say later that he does not know why he felt so brave. He was soon dressed in a silver color “space suit”, which was very easy to wear. He was given black gloves to wear, with cuffs and a silver transparent domed helmet was put on his head. His alien guide was also dressed similarly. They approached the entryway from the large hall. There Nikolay saw an interesting device standing erect on the floor; its upper section was black in color. The center of this device emitted a crimson-scarlet colored light. “What is this” Nikolay asked. He was told that it was their source of energy. They soon entered a dark room, apparently some sort of elevator (apparently the base was located under the moon’s surface). Soon the door opened and Nikolay and his guide proceeded to walk upon a darkened surface of the moon, his guide carried a sort of flashlight-like object. Nikolay could see the Earth covered with clouds. He also bent down and grabbed some of the lunar soil. His guide then told Nikolay that some of the Russian lunar probes launched in the 70; s (Lunohod) were located apparently at a very long distance from the location. Nikolay noticed that everything on the moon’s surface looked very sharp and clear. After walking on the lunar surface for a while they returned back to the underground base. The chief of the alien lunar base displayed interest on what Nikolay had said while on the surface and asked his alien guide. After that Nikolay asked the aliens three questions, “How do you hear each other”, “What is the principle of the UFOs propulsion” and “Can cancer be cured”. The answers were as follows, “We communicate among each other via radio” To the second question there was no answer; the third answer was “No”. After that Nikolay asked a further question, “Can I visit you one more time” The answer was vague but it mentioned that humans were very technically weak and he would not be believed. “Where are you from?” asked Nikolay. He was told that they lived and worked on the moon. He was told that if they needed to see him again they would find him. After that he was again taken onboard the alien spacecraft where he lost consciousness. He awoke in the early morning of January 8 inside the cabin of his truck as if nothing had happened. Nearby another truck was parked. Its driver approached Nikolay’s truck and asked him, “Hey did you see the three men that approached your truck at night”. Nikolay then remembered the three men that had asked him to help allegedly because their car was disabled. Several years after the encounter, Nikolay, now a resident of the town of Kerch was walking on the streets of Kerch when he saw a man, which somehow looked very familiar to him. The man stopped and looked at him, and asked him how he liked his lunar trip. Nikolay was completely stunned since he had never told anyone about his lunar trip, and this man knew somehow, he was apparently an extraterrestrial. The theory was proposed was that the humans he met had been taken and worked for an alien civilization on the moon.

Jean Dolecki was driving home after dark when a luminous object appeared in the sky and landed in a field beside the road, 100 yards away. It had the form of a cylinder with a narrow waist, the upper portion larger than the lower one, 40-45 ft in diameter and 50-60 ft high. From the bottom a bright white light was emitted, which illuminated it. The top surface seemed to be vibrating, and on each side near the top was attached a relatively small vertical helix, which also vibrated. A door opened in the upper portion, and 3 “robots” resembling “aluminum diving suits,” 6.5-7 ft tall, descended. They had square heads, disproportionately small legs, and in lieu of arms, a telescopic “pole” about 7 ft long, mounted on the chest. These entities moved about near the UFO, walking in a mechanical way, & wagging their poles up and down, for about 10 minutes; then they re-entered, and the machine took off, disappearing at a vertiginous speed.

Mr. Masseron sleeping in a trailer was awakened by blows on the trailer, and scratching sounds; then the vehicle was shaken. He looked out and saw, a few dozen yards away, a luminous egg shaped object about 5 ft tall and 3 ft wide, resting on the ground or very close to it; is upper half was green and its lower half red. This rose up in a spiral, emitting a sound like a jet taking off, then hovered motionless at 50 ft altitude, and then disappeared. The witness opened his door, and heard something like a message as received on a walkie-talkie set, with a background of static; the only thing he could understand was the reiteration of the letters “L.P.X.” He then noticed something moving at his left; and saw a dark human silhouette running across the road near his trailer. He noted as peculiar “the man’s whole body was oriented on the axis of prolongation of his right leg.” At the same time Ms. Zamora, sleeping in a nearby trailer in the trailer park, had been awakened by voices; she heard one voice ask, “What shall I do?” and another answer “Do as I do.” She opened a window and at once heard the “walkie-talkie message.” Then she observed, apparently at the same place where Masseron had previously seen the UFO, a luminous ellipse, green above and red beneath, which was jumping up and down. She woke her husband; the ellipse was now gone, but the “message” was still continuing. The investigator, searching on the same night, found “rather curious footprints” at the place toward which the man had been seen running.

A 14-year old boy was walking through falling snow to a friend’s house when he saw a large glowing figure walking, or rather floating, near some sumac bushes 400 ft away. The figure was seen in profile, from the waist up. There was no discernible face, and the back of the head was flat and corrugated. The glow from the head extended above the bushes (7-8 ft high) and extended about 9” from the body, with a less luminous silvery outer glow that extended 9” beyond that. The witness ran to the friend’s house; then with two other friends, carrying a 22-caliber rifle he returned to the site. They saw the figure; when one of them played a flashlight beam on it, it fell backwards behind the ridge. It had no facial features, no neck, and no arms. When the flashlight was pointed elsewhere, it rose up again, and remained in flashlight view for 3-4 seconds before slowly ducking behind the ridge. When it came up a third time, the witness shot 2 shots over its head; it slowly descended for the third and last time. One of the witnesses apparently was unable to see the being.

Several witnesses reported seeing four strange humanoids accompanied by a feeling of well being that enveloped their bodies briefly and then disappeared. A strange light illuminated the area. The beings were described as tall, over 1 meter, 60cm tall, robust built, wearing dark opaque coveralls, oval shaped metallic gray colored helmets on their heads, with black egg shaped visors. The beings carried an oval shaped white metallic object on one hand and on the other, a round luminous object. On their backs they had what appeared to be rucksacks. Another witness felt heat and a strange silence and stillness in the air.

Jan Stewart drove Mary Root home from an astrology class, arriving at 0315A, and then drove home herself, arriving at 0430A whereas it should have been only 0330A. Later in the morning, after breakfast, she began to feel sick. The next day she remembered dreaming that she was sitting in a sort of cell with 2 red lights. Later under hypnotic regression, she remembered that a tall white clad figure had come up to her car door and that she had opened the door and taken his white-gloved hand. There was a red haze and 2 other white clad beings who were standing in the door of the translucent “bottom bubble” of a UFO resting beside the road. The 3 humanoids forced her inside, where she could see nothing until she saw, close to her face, a face with big, slanted eyes, which terrified her. She also remembered sitting in the red-lighted cell. Then she was allowed to return to her car, whose engine was still running; an hour had passed.

Sharp claws were dug into his back as he cried in pain. He struggled and the attacker fled apparently on foot. The figure was described as very tall with a monkey-like face, ash gray in color. The witness was treated at a local hospital for wounds on his back.

The main witness remembers working in a warehouse on Rte 109 when one morning in the dead of winter there was talk of something falling from the sky and landing in a pond on one of the arms and melting the ice. He said to his co-workers, “let’s go over there and view the area were the event happened.” But he was told that nobody could get in there because the military had closed the area off. He did not see anything about in the local newspapers the next day either. However later that spring there were reports of a small strange being in the local paper dubbed, “the creature” sighted and reported to the Millis and possibly to the Dover police by several students. (Strange report, but the “Dover Demon” was not encountered until April of 1977).

Before he knew what was happening, the creature made a hissing sound, jumped him, ripped into his shoulders, and then hopped off. He described the creature to the police as having “a brown or almost black body, bright red eyes and the wings of a bat…short stubby legs and two arms, each about two and a half feet long. It had pointed ears, the face of a pig, but without a snout.” Investigators found mysterious feathers at the scene.

Erminio Reis, 30, and his wife Bianca were driving on the Rio de Janeiro-Belo Horizonte highway near Matias Barbosa when they began to feel sleepy. Erminio pulled their VW over to the side of the highway and fell sleep over the wheel. Several minutes later, Bianca, still awake, became aware of a dead silence over the area, and noticed a blue light that appeared to intensify and approach them. As it neared, she screamed, believing it to be a plane about to crash. Her husband, now awake, had no time to say a word, as the couple, still in their car, were “absorbed” in a bright beam of light, as it through a chimney. They found themselves, still in their car, in a brightly lit, “kind of circular garage.” A kind of skylight appeared in the ceiling and two human appearing men floated down toward the car and its occupants. They were dark and about two meters tall (6’6”). They signaled to the couple to open the doors and get out, but Bianca was paralyzed with fear. Erminio got out first and his wife, eventually, followed, having to force her door open. The men were speaking incomprehensibly to the couple and Bianca screamed at them, “What do you want? What do you want?” Her husband describing the situation as “dream like,” kept repeating, “It’s a mistake, it is a mistake.” One of the two beings stepped on a button in the floor and a staircase appeared, up which the couple was led into a large compartment filled with instruments. They were given headsets to put on over their ears; one of the two entities also donned a similar set, and then plugged them into a kind of computer. As he quickly manipulated dials, the couple heard a voice say, I’ am Karen, calm down.” Bianca was told that she had to undergo a series of examinations of the skin, ears, and eyes. Then she was placed in a box-like device that turned red, inducing in her a static electric charge that caused her to lose consciousness temporarily. She was next placed in a form-fitting chair that converted into a table and bed. Both were required to drink a thick green liquid of rather bad taste. Several other entities joined the others, including one tall female with dark hair and large dark eyes. The couple was told that they performed medical research on “their” world and that age was treated as an illness, and that no one experienced death. Finally they were advised not to speak of their experience, since they would be considered mad if they did. They were told that they had a method to “erase memory.” They were then set free to continue their journey. Bianca claims that by means of a small implement that was implanted during their experience she was able to remain in communication with the being called Karen.

They appeared to be bumping into each other, suddenly a metallic object with a curved base and a flat top with several lights, swooped down over her. A pressure on her shoulders knocked her to the ground and her teeth began vibrating, hurting her mouth. She ran home terrified and attempted to scream but could not. Later under hypnosis it was revealed that the witness had suffered a time lapse. She could only recall being inside a room with a tall blond woman that wore a long gown. She was told by this woman “not to be afraid” and felt that information was being inserted in her brain at high speed. She was also given several apocalyptic messages.

It was dark green, rectangular, and taller than a telephone boot. It stood on 3 legs. From this object emerged 2 men 6’6” or more in height, who came to within 12 or 15 ft of the witness. They were clad in dark but luminous tight fitting clothing resembling rubber or plastic, with wide belts whose buckles emitted blindingly bright and hot flashes of red and white light; he could not see their faces, but noticed that they had shoulder-length blondish-white hair. The witness put his hands over his face, but could not stir from the spot. He heard the men talking in a language he could not understand; then he began to run. The UFO rose and flew over him, emitting something that burned him; he lost consciousness until at 0230A he found himself at the door of his house in Benacazon. He had to be hospitalized for shock. In the hospital he was found to have strange sooty black marks on his right cheek, on the palms of both hands, on his shoulders and on his right arm; these began to disappear after 7-8 hours.

While driving 14-22 miles SW of Las Vegas, country & western singer Johnny Sands saw descending from the sky a rusty orange cigar shaped object with flashing red and white lights on its end and a darker ring around the middle, in which were portholes. It was 60 ft long or longer. Then his car stopped, and he got out to check the engine. 200 ft away he saw 2 men walking toward him who wore silver sparkling one piece uniforms with a diagonal black stripe, and a round white central emblem. He wanted to get into his car, but felt paralyzed. As the men approached, he saw that they were bald and had close set squinting eyes, a gray white complexion, and something like gills under their ears. Their mouths were very small and their noses “puggish.” One of them questioned Sands in English (not using his mouth) in a slow, “robot-like” voice. Asked, “What are you doing here?” he replied, “I am an entertainer”, then “What are your means of communication,” which he was at a loss to answer. 4 or 5 other questions were asked which he has not revealed. They said that they would see him again. Turning to go, the leader brushed his fingertips over the witness hand, which seemed to release him from the paralysis; “his suit was rough, like coarse sandpaper.” They walked away, and the car started again. Many observers reported seeing rust colored cigar shaped objects over the Las Vegas Valley that night.

H K, then a student at Panteion Athens University was returning home, after his exams. Being a keen UFO enthusiast, he was reading Morris Jessup’s “The case for the UFO.” He was sitting near the door of the train coupe when suddenly a very tall man stood outside the door and stared at him. The witness did not pay any attention at first, but the man was casting a shadow and disturbing his reading. He looked at the man, and described him as about 1.90 meters in height with a very large mouth with no lips and very white teeth. His face was scarlet, “like that of a farmer.” He wore black trousers and short sleeved checkered shirt. He opened the window of the hall and stared at the witness grinning. After 15 minutes, during which the “man” was continuously staring at the witness, he made a gesture showing the book and another one like he was asking, “it is good, isn’t?” The witness was terrified. There were another seven people in the coupe but seemed like they did not notice presence of the other one outside. After 2-3 minutes, the “man” took a position where nobody in the coupe could see him except the witness. He continued to grin. After a while, the witness decided to get outside and talk to him. But outside there was nobody. He searched all the train but there was no sign of the mysterious stranger.

The figures were 61/2 to 8 ft tall, a dull black in color and had vague facial features. One figure placed a hand on the witness’s leg making him go numb to the waist while another figure tried to enclose the witness’s leg in a silver, glowing “sugar bag”. When the man called out, a figure made his mouth and right arm also go numb. The percipient managed to throw his cigarettes, lighter and an ash try towards his wife who stirred and started to put on the room light. Meanwhile the entities let go of the man, pulled off the bag, and one by one stepped over the wife’s bed and out the window, which had burst open in an orange glow. Over a period of time, family members reported various other apparitions. On several occasions, a ping-pong sized ball of light has been observed moving around the same room.

A prominent official reported being visited in his bedroom by two beings that floated him off his bed and into the underside of a glowing golden bathtub shaped UFO. The beings were 6.5-7 ft tall and wore one piece white suits with a high collar and belts around the middle; their faces were long and ashen gray, with long noses, thin lips, and narrow eyes with slit pupils like a cat’s. The beings mentally showed the witness a picture of a piece of U-shaped tubing. Judging that something had gone wrong with their craft he asked to see it, believing he could help fix it. He was told to lie flat on his bed and with his arms folded across his chest and his toes pointing upwards. He felt a numbness come over his body and then found himself floating upwards out of his body. Inside the UFO, the witness was placed on a table and examined by a huge purple red eye-like device; he felt anesthetized. He asked questions, but was rebuffed. The entities told him: “A being as insignificant as a worm should not ask questions.” Finally he was returned to his bed, and the aliens disappeared.

The second floor bedroom window of a married couple, living in a small-unnamed village, faces a little courtyard beyond, which lies a large orchard. The wife was lying awake when she noticed a rose-violet light coming from the left side of the window, which rapidly increased in intensity as its source came closer. There then arrived at the window an object the size of a large car, which hovered motionless only 4-7 ft away from it. It was a dark body, lenticular with obliquely truncated ends, with a number of blinking lights, alternately red and white, around its circumference, and with a large cupola of transparent material, nearly rectangular in profile, from which emanated the rose and violet luminosity. Inside this transparent cupola could be seen—hardly 15 ft, from the observer—the upper half of two human silhouettes, whose backs were turned, and whose heads gave the impression of being covered with tight fitting hoods. She awakened her husband. When he saw the UFO (which had begun to recede very slowly), he wanted to go down into the courtyard, but his wife would not let him. The object continued to move away slowly without gaining altitude, and eventually (at about 800 ft. distance) was lost to view over the orchard.

The next morning M.J. had a sore stomach and a very inflamed navel, and C.W. had a small puncture mark on her spine with 4 little marks around it. Under hypnosis M.J. remembered that 4 short figures in black “snowmobile suits” with helmets over their heads had approached the car, while hovering over a field was a helmet shaped object 30-40 ft in diameter, with a big white light in the middle and little lights recessed around it. She found herself outside the car, and the Ufonauts came up and pulled at her arm; then she remembered sitting on a cot inside a room with a rounded door, where there was a chrome cylinder. A “nurse” wearing a facemask, with big black eyes, accompanied by a “doctor”, brought up a needle; M.J jumped off the cot, but was caught and fastened to it, and the needle was inserted into her stomach. Then a number of people with chalk white, cat like faces, wearing cream-colored robes, appeared; they had scaly skin and long fingernails, small noses and no visible mouths. She noticed also “a whole mess” of controls and gauges, up to the ceiling. The UFO was in flight at this time. She could see a man (of normal type) bending over C.W. She also observed a “pedestal” chair, and a box with lines going across it, on which, as on a TV, she saw “a baby crying, a war, people in the jungle with knives” and other scenes, for about 10 minutes. Then she remembered leaving the UFO and returning, with C.W., to the car.

Within 10 minutes, a cloud of white mist came up to the pier; her companion had fallen asleep. Then she remembered nothing more nothing more until she came to herself some hours later, on the pier, with a hot pain in her side. They sat in the car until 0300A, when something unseen began to hit and shake the car; they then drove away. The next day her side hurt worse, and she had a fever. A small red welt was visible at the site of the pain, which went away after 2 more days. Under hypnosis she remembered that both of them had been taken aboard a UFO, but that her friend had been asleep. She fond herself sitting in a chair facing a wall covered with “view screen type of things” with an operator seated at it, back to her. A man came down the hall and took her to a “council room” with a U-shaped table, at which sat 7 humanoids of different types. She was made to sit inside the U, and a black box was rolled in and set next to her. This machine started “telling everything about her” (not vocally) and displayed pictures of her on a screen. The leader then told her that she was “coming along real well” and that they were going to do one more thing to her before releasing her. Another black box was brought in, and she was laid on a table. She could see on a screen an X-ray view of her body. A small object like a buckshot was then inserted in her side, without pain; she was told that this “implant” was intended to create “better communications and power”, and would be “activated” in 3 or 4 weeks. Then the man was brought in, and she was put to sleep.

The witness, hearing neighborhood dogs barking and howling, looked out her picture window and saw nothing unusual, but the hair stood up on the back of her neck. Looking to the left, she saw by the full moon’s light, 100 ft away, a small figure, about the size of a 10-year old child, dressed in a close fitting one-piece snowsuit of silvery color. The suit had a hood over the head, with lumps at the ears, a dark belt at the waist, and dark boots. The witness felt convinced that the being was feminine. The face was visible and seemed not to be abnormal, as well as could be told at that distance. The witness felt paralyzed, and could not call for her daughter to come and see. She had a mental impression of the words “No fear” repeated 3 times. After perhaps 25 minutes, the figure turned on it heel and walked off into the woods. The witness returned to the house about 10 minutes later, and she told her husband to go out and look for footprints in the freshly fallen snow. He found a set of small footprints leading away from the spot into the woods, but none leading up to it.

He wore boots, and seemed to have trouble walking; he was not seen to bend his knees. He was seen in the area for 3 hours. (The same or similar figure was again seen on 2-21-76 for several hours.)

Leonard Hegele, a 29-year old student, spotted a 7-foot tall humanoid with 3-foot wide shoulders walking about ¼ mile form the highway. It was walking in a non-human manner. The witness stopped his car and ran toward the being. When he got to within 700-800 feet, the creature turned about to face him; Hegele ran back to his car. While he was chasing the creature, Hegele also saw a gray, oval shaped object hovering in the air about ½ mile from the highway. It hovered at only 10 ft from the ground, but periodically rose and dropped another 15 ft.

Three schoolteachers were traveling north on Old Pleasanton Road in separate cars when they saw two large winged creatures in flight. They all pulled to the side of the road, and they all got out to obtain a better view of the creatures. One of the creatures landed in a nearby field, and the other kept flying southward, and then it turned and started coming back. Suddenly the one on the ground flapped its wings a couple of times and they both flew south. Their wingspan was estimated to have been 15 to 17 feet. They were mostly black and brown in color. One of the witnesses said the “birds” resembled prehistoric flying creatures, notable the pteranodon. One of the witnesses stated that the creatures glided and did not really fly and their wings were bony and leathery.

Time: 1600
A group of five school children from Manuera were playing on a hill when they saw a UFO descend and land in a nearby field. The object was surmounted by a transparent cupola and appeared metallic, and 8 to 10 meters wide. Then an entity emerged from the object; he was tall, more than two meters, and wore a black coverall that covered him from head to foot. His head appeared small in proportion to its body. He took a few steps into the barley field and then returned to the object, walking normally but as if his feet were especially heavy. As one child tried to get closer, a bright light flashed from the object, frightening him. The object departed, leaving traces at the landing site; very large footprints were also found at the site, being more than 40 cm in length.

The witness was driving down a country road near Nashville when she glimpsed something tan out of the corner of her eye. Ahead, standing by a telephone pole, was a second tan colored being, over 8-foot tall, with big head and no neck, and something dark looming behind him. As she came abreast of the figure, a bright blue light shone on her. She sped away.

During a brief power outage in the area and around the same time a lighted object was seen cruising low overhead, several witnesses spotted a seven to eight foot tall dark hair covered figure. The figure had long dangling arms, bumps for ears, wrinkled skin on it face and claws-like hands. It was apparently seen at a wooded area.

The witness had gone out on her patio to do some laundry when she looked up and saw a large object hovering nearby. It was described as cigar shaped with numerous windows and blue and white lights. It was totally silent. Inside the object she was able to see two short humanoids and two human like beings. The humanoids were four-foot tall with large heads, large dark brown eyes, two holes for a nose and a slit like mouth. They wore silver metallic gowns with rolled collars and cuffs. The two humans wore normal clothing and one of them, a female, appeared to be in a trance. As the object hovered tilting from side to side, the witness was able to clearly see two of the compartments. One had white Formica like tops with multi-colored buttons with what appeared to be hieroglyphics like symbols; leather back chairs were also visible. The two humanoids appeared to glide into one compartment and grab the female human under her arms and lift her up. As the witness yelled for her son the object suddenly rose in a jerking motion and disappeared over a nearby water tower.

Two soldiers driving along some railroad tracks in a swampy area noticed a white flash of “lighting” about 40 meters away and then a strange blue luminosity and small reddish flashes of light appear. The light dims as the witnesses approach to see 2 humanoids about 90cm in height, they are unable to see their faces as a result of the light. The humanoids are wearing boots and grayish overalls. They appear to be very busy along the tracks, cutting grass and taking small plants. They seemed surprised by the soldier’s vehicle headlights. At first they stand still but then disappear into the bushes. 3 minutes later another bright light is seen and an oval-shaped UFO, red and blue in color about 30 minutes in diameter goes up vertically, very slowly at first emitting a slight whistling and air turbulence. At 40 meters in height it moves horizontally and then flies at very high speed towards the southeast. The witness felt very cold and afraid during the encounter and smell an ozone-like odor. Broken branches and ground traces were found on the scene.

The witness and his now ex-wife were sleeping in their apartment at the Casagmo Apartment complex with the large sliding window partly open. A loud buzzing sound woke the witness. He covered his head with a pillow but soon realized that the buzzing seemed to be coming from inside his head. He went to the window and saw what he thought were 3 electrical company employees at the far side of the parking lot (about 100 feet from the witness). He thought they were electrical linesmen because they had their backs to him and appeared to be wearing very shiny hard hats that looked like chrome. Each was dressed oddly, appearing to be wearing dark “wet suits”. Each looked to have on mittens and the witness only saw a “thumb” and what looked like a mitten like glove. Each of the individuals looked to be 5 ft tall or less. Quietly he pointed out to his wife the strange scene in the parking lot. The three figures were clearly visible because they were illuminated by an overhead light source. One of the individuals was looking up into the tree line, another was looking very intently at the ground and the third was looking around almost as if keeping a watch. The witness continued standing at the window, behind a very large potted philodendron plant that they kept in the bedroom. The three figures suddenly turned as if they were given a command (right face) and faced directly at the window where the witness was standing. The witness was surprised since he had not made any noise and had not turned on any lights; he felt immediately uncomfortable and crouched down behind the plant. As the individuals turned toward him, it appeared that one of them had a reflective stripe running down his pant leg. The helmets were no longer visible from the front (only slightly around the perimeter of their heads, somehow resembling ancient Egyptian headdresses). They had unusually large reflective goggles over their eyes (or unusually large reflective eyes). He asked his wife to take a look; she got out of bed and came to the window. The three individuals then turned to their right again (all at the same moment). They all then walked as if they were in a strobe light. Two went out of the witness field of vision and one simply “disappeared” from the open parking lot. The overhead light and buzzing sound disappeared at the moment the last figure disappeared. His wife described the figures as walking as in “slow motion” and she was also perplexed as to what had occurred to the third individual. The witness checked the parking lot area the next morning but found no marks or traces. Around the same time there had been numerous UFO reports from Danbury Connecticut to Katonah New York. The main witness had a hypnotic regression performed on him in 1981, which he recalled being outside his apartment and the humanoids looking at him from up close.

A man chopping wood in an isolated forested area suddenly noticed two very tall beings almost seven-foot tall standing nearby looking at him. The beings were humanoid and appeared to have a tail like protrusion that ran from the back of their heads down through their backs. The beings then walked back to a landed silvery disc shaped object, which quickly left at high speed.

A family was returning to their ranch on the South Harrah Road when they were surprised to see several tall thin longhaired men like figures chasing some of the cattle down the road. The beings had extremely white or pale features and wore black outfits with white trapezoid emblems on the chest area, and were estimated to have been at least seven-foot tall. (Similar beings were seen in the area 3 months before.)

Location. Hummingbird Ranch, Simi Valley, California
Date: March 1976
Time: late evening
There was a report that several motorists and at least two police officers saw an object coming from the southwest over the Simi Valley Freeway and going northwest, it appeared to crash at what was termed the Hummingbird Ranch just north of Simi Valley Freeway at Kuehner Avenue at the off ramp coming westward into Simi Valley. Later that night the witness was driving and had just come off the Simi Valley Freeway southeast of the freeway. She made a full stop at the Kuehner avenue sign, and paused a moment. Suddenly at her right she saw a hand with elongated fingers on her passenger side window and then a gnome like man’s head popped up. He was beating on the windowpane frantically, and was frightful in appearance. He had an extremely long neck and appeared to be bald, very aged and wrinkled and tiny, gnome like. The witness panicked and gunned the car and raced home. Later accompanied by her son and others she went back to the area. Two armed soldiers that aimed their guns at them stopped them at the entrance of the Hummingbird Ranch. They noticed many lights in the area and numerous military personnel. They were then told very harshly to turn around and leave the area immediately. The witness family, suffered from police persecution afterwards and the son died mysteriously under police custody. Eventually the surviving alien occupant that had escaped from the crash scene was captured by the military and taken to Edwards AFB for research and interrogation. Two other gray type alien entities were apparently discovered dead or unconscious onboard of the craft found with an opened hatchway. The disk was about 50 ft in diameter, appearing like tarnished silver, about 15 to 18 ft thick, encircled by what looked like mostly rectangular windows on top. There was a groove around the disk about 4ft from the edge all the way around. On the bottom section it had several structures resembling vents or louvers. The disk had insignias on the underside and on the top, described as a “Trilateral insignia”, the typical alien flag of the grays, shaped like a triangle crossed by 3 horizontal lines. At night the military moved the disk to the surface hangar at North Edwards AFB at Haystack Butte. In the morning it was taken to the main Edwards facility. This hangar was guarded by special “Delta” force teams. Because the disk was totally undamaged and operational the military succeeded in flying it at the Groom Lake base over Nevada from 1977-1978, escorted by helicopters and also in the 80’s and 90’s. Gary Schultz photographed the disk during one of the test flights in the presence of his wife on Wednesday February 28 1990 at about 2100. The surviving alien was eventually moved to an underground area at Haystack Butte laboratory and imprisoned in a special electro magnetically secured chamber, with 3ft thick walls consisting of numerous levels of wires, similar in design to previous YY-2 versions. This was done in order to prevent the being from sending telepathic impulses to his alien group that could possibly rescue him from captivity. The creature apparently died in captivity after some period of imprisonment and all attempts to interrogate it and to extract information were done. The 2 other dead aliens were sent by aircraft to Wright Patterson for autopsy.

Francesco Ojeda, 12, was walking through the woods on his way home from school when, in a clearing, he came upon a shiny circular object about 40 ft in diameter, resting upon a metallic platform. 2 persons in shiny suits, less than 5 ft tall, stood beside the machine, apparently making repairs. When they saw the boy they leaped into the UFO through an open port, which closed after them; then a device on top of the saucer rotated and flashed an intense light at the boy, blinding him. He fell to the ground, semi conscious. He hazily remembered being taken inside the object, where the occupants stripped him and placed him on a table under a huge amber light. “In his head” he heard a voice assuring him that no harm was intended, and adding, “we are coming here in great numbers to visit your planet.” Some time later, guided by his dog, his parents found Francesco in the woods a mile from the house, crying and wandering aimlessly; he was blind and all of his skin was reddened as if from sunburn. The next morning he recovered his sight, and told what happened to him.

A woman went to her back doorstep to call in the children; she looked up and saw an object moving slowly at treetop level “a few thousand feet away.” Her husband came out and saw it; it had a translucent dome on top and gold lights around its periphery. Above the dome a deep red light was flashing, and there were holes in the bottom out of which a blue light shone. He estimated it as 80 ft in diameter. It descended among trees in a swampy area near their home. They watched it for 2 hr, until 2130. The man and two sons then got into their van and drove to a point nearer the object. They noticed an unnatural silence, but cold not get a good view. When they returned to the house, the wife was missing. After searching the house, they returned to the living room; suddenly the woman showed up, her speech slow and slurred; she claimed she had been in the bedroom. At 2330, the couple went to bed; at about 0045 they woke up, finding that they had somehow exchanged positions in bed. Both felt nauseated. The back door of the house was found open. The next day an investigator visited them and discovered 3 wedge shaped holes in the ground and broken tree branches, where a UFO had evidently landed near the house. A few days later the couple vaguely remembered being taken onboard a spacecraft during the hour before they woke up. The husband clearly recalled “being in a galley area where they were eating. An extraterrestrial was sitting there with his head on his hand looking up at me as if saying, “What are you doing here?” This being had wrinkled whitish gray skin, high cheekbones, a high forehead, and eyes that were 3-4 times as large as human eyes; he was bald. He was looking at the man with an expression of “disdain.” Under hypnosis the wife remembered much more. One kind about 4 ft tall; a second class “the doers”, about 5.5.5 ft tall; a 3rd type, 6.6 ft tall, with huge eyes, with a pupil resembling that of a cat, with some type of covering over it, when the eyes were smaller they were speckled yellow-green, when they grew large they turned yellow. The couple said the beings communicated with them by telepathy, and that the
