1978 Humanoid Reports, the year the bottom dropped out. As far as range and variety of incidents 1978 led the 70's decade. All types of humanoids were reported worldwide and in all types of situations. Besides your standard abductions, there were numerous types of entities reported. Humanoid waves were reported from Italy, France, England, Malaysia, Spain, etc. The first reports coming from behind what it used to be the Iron curtain were beginning to emerge; repeated abductions were reported from Brazil. Bizarre incidents and abductions surfaced from Australia and New Zealand. Reports from previously slow areas became commonplace. High Strangeness was at its height. An era of change was looming, the 80's were just around the corner. In the US the reports were steady and consistently of a high strangeness nature, the ominous manimal-bigfoot-para-ape connection became more evident. A well documented possibly retrieval of a dead humanoid was reported in New Jersey early on the year, but it was only the beginning. It was an unprecedented year; it took 11 years to almost equal the quality and amount of reports recorded for 1978. Following is the list of the known 1978 reports.

Two young boys, Barry Scott, and Russell Lee were camping in the woods, when they heard something tramping down the hill. When they looked out of their tent, they saw something that floated more than it walked. Each boy apparently saw something different. Barry saw a bell shaped white being, and Russell saw something he described as "like the Virgin Mary." Whatever it was, the entity vanished among the trees, leaving the two boys in a state of bewildered excitement.

Mendelejew W Charitonow reported seeing in a garden close to some woods a small transparent object resting on the ground. The object appeared to be made out of two sections, in one he could see a seat in what appeared to be a command console. The witness approached and saw 3 "perfect humans" inside, except for the faces, which were somehow "different." He invited the humanoids to come out. But apparently he was taken inside where he was sat at a console and saw a square keyboard that apparently controlled the ship. He was then given a ride in the object and eventually released on the same field.

The 18-year old witness, who had earlier felt a strange compulsion to leave for the weekend and rent a room at an isolated, old hotel on the coast, was in her room, which overlooked the water, sitting on a chair, as it was getting dark. After about an hour she noticed a very bright light up in the sky that seemed to be moving in her direction. The bright object suddenly began to descend and began hovering very close to the window, only about 50 feet above the water. Then after an apparent time lapse, she found herself opening her eyes and now lying flat on her bed, it was now daylight and she soon was stunned to learn that two days had passed without her remembering anything. She went back home and as she sat in her room pondering what had happened, an avalanche of thoughts poured into her brain. She soon remembered that as she sat in the chair staring at the light she suddenly found herself onboard of what appeared to be a "spacecraft." Disoriented she watched a group of "people" standing in front of her. There were two men and three women, the men were the closest to her, and the women just a few feet behind them. She described the humanoids as the most beautiful people she had ever seen. They all had jet black hair, and the most pearl/blue piercing eyes she had ever seen, their skin was extremely pale and their complexions flawless. Feeling scared she reached into her hand bag and grabbed a pair of scissors, holding them in both hands straight in front of her, in a threatening gesture. She yelled at the "aliens" not to come any closer to her. The man nearest to her simply smiled, then very slowly began to raise his arm until it was straight out in front of him. The scissors that the witness was holding suddenly began to melt; each part of the scissors began to roll back in a curling motion, until they wound up in a very tight curl. The man closest to her was the only one to speak and told the witness not to worry that they were not going to hurt her that they only needed to look at something. The same man told her that they needed to look at her hands. He then gestured for her to follow and walked on a corridor that had a slight elevation upside. After about 10 feet they reached what appeared to be an alcove or indentation on the wall. There was a small apparatus there that looked like a mirrored surface, 2' by 2'. She was asked to place her hands on top of the machine, as they needed to get a record. The man then walked down the corridor and left the witness alone. The man returned then gesture at the witness to again follow him down the corridor. They stopped beside a room and was told to please wait there. Curious she entered the room, and noticed that it was shaped somewhat like a half diamond, with slanting walls and ceiling. The entire room was an odd red/rust color. She then walked out of the room and followed the corridor in an upward direction. The corridor came up to a very large room, that was nearly pitch black, and the only thing in the entire room was a very comfortable looking recliner chair. She approached the chair and placed her hand on the armrest, immediately the room seem to change, and she felt "alone in the Universe." She repeated this several times but soon the now familiar man appeared and told her not to touch the chair again and to follow him, as she walked down the corridor again, she suddenly found herself on the bed back at the hotel.

The witness was driving in a remote area when he suddenly lost control of his vehicle, he drove on until he came up to the top of a hill, and there he was commanded to stop. He left the car and found himself walking on a valley that was filled with light. He was then ordered to climb a nearby mountain; it took him five hours to reach the top. He did not recall much after that and had one hour of missing time. Later under hypnosis he recalled that as he was walking on the valley a bright beam of light shone on him. He then saw ten beings dressed in white standing in a circle. The beings were five-foot five inches tall, wearing skintight outfits that covered their faces. Their heads were elongated and they had a large round black lens over the eye area, their mouths were slit like and the noses were holes. They had small chests and thin arms. He was then taken onboard an object where he was examined and some robot like beings cut inside his nose. When the witness was released he saw two hovering objects one larger than the other.

John Cornett and three friends were driving on Dollarsville road when they saw a huge paneled craft with different types of lights on its hull descending slowly over the area. They pulled off to the side of the road and saw the craft descend lower. They could now see that it had a segmented hull with numerous viewing ports. A small white sphere shot away from the craft leaving a green tracer behind, this apparently bothered the witness eyes. John Cornett left the vehicle and felt mental communication from the craft. He could now also see several figures moving behind the viewing panels, these were very tall with large heads, he could see blue lighting inside the craft. The craft suddenly shot away towards the north at high speed shooting a long sheet of flame from its rear.

One night a platoon of soldiers were conducting war games in the forest, when the truck malfunctioned and lost all power. One soldier, Edwin Godoy, was ordered to stay behind with the truck as the other men left on foot. Soon after midnight he noticed a figure some 300 meters away from him, standing next to some pine trees in the forest. The figure was very tall, and its body was completely covered with hair. It had dark long grayish hair all over its body and it stood next to the pine trees swinging its body sideways while looking straight at Godoy. It was very strongly built and his eyes glowed red in the dark. The figure suddenly began running towards the witness. After yelling at the figure to stop, he fired a shot into the air then at the figure. The hairy figure grabbed its chest and emitted a loud moan, stopped and then ran to his right disappearing into the forest. Godoy locked himself in the truck until the morning. Later special army units found a peculiar green liquid in the area, believed to have been blood from the creature.

The two witnesses, twin boys were standing in the hallway when one twin began felling very odd. It felt like an earth tremor was striking. There were vibrations and tremors running through him. His brother began feeling the same thing too. The atmosphere of the house had altered, it felt tense and silent. Even the dogs appeared to be affected. Then a bright light appeared as a reflection in the frosted glass of the doorway. At the same time a small figure ran through the hall and headed upstairs. Only one of the twins saw the figure, which was described as 3-feet tall and dressed in an all black jumpsuit with a helmet covering the head. The dog suddenly went berserk and then headed off into a corner remaining there whimpering and cowering. One of the twins obtained a knife and searched the house for the intruder, of course nothing was found.

The witness was lying down on his bed attempting to go to sleep when he began to feel an unusual spinning sensation. His whole body appeared to be vibrating. As his mind began to clear he became aware of standing inside what he assumed was a "spaceship," the surroundings were pulsating with a brilliant light. He felt a mental message and saw a group of seven beings standing directly in front of him, both male and female. Some stood around and others were manipulating some sort of control. One of the beings that was human in appearance and wore a pure white suit looked at the witness with the most intense and penetrating eyes he ever witnesses. A beautiful glow surrounded the beings and the witness felt a sense of peace emanating from them. The white-garbed beings, that seemed to be the leader communicated with the witness by using telepathy. He spoke of the energy used to propel their ship and of many other subjects including the cosmic mind and creation. Soon he found himself back on his bed with a clear memory of all that had transpired.

A military man and his wife were driving on Highway 77 on his way to Ohio when as they went over a hill they came upon a line of black robed figures walking across the highway. There was no way in this dark road that the figures could not see the vehicle headlights. Before the driver could react, she drove the vehicle right between two of the walking figures. The figures did not flinch or show any reaction. Stunned they noticed that further back in the line, was a man with a "lumberjack" shirt on, unbuttoned, walking with them. The witnesses were frightened since there had been numerous "cattle mutilations" in the area around the same time. They kept on driving and left the area.

A couple of students were near the Portland State College campus near an old tunnel system coming from the hills. They heard a noise coming out of the sewer hole, and saw what they describe as a "mole man" come out of the hole. It was not hairy, had big eyes, fangs, a long snout, three claws for the feet, but these were circular, and appeared not to be worn out. It also had a small hairy tail. Both students had the feeling that the thing psychically knew them, and that it was conscious. It ran back into the hole when they threw rocks at it.

A certain N, a translator, went to bed one late night in her Moscow flat when suddenly her two lap dogs started to whine and skulking in a corner. A few minutes later there appeared in front of a rather large window an enormously tall figure. N had no time to react as she heard (not in her ears, but rather at the nape of her neck, as she puts it) a very definite phrase thrice repeated, "I need your mind, I need your mind, I need your mind". The voice was calm, masculine, mechanical, and somewhat robot-like. Next she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and in both temples and fainted. Having not reported to her office the next day, the worried colleagues went to her place after the working day. Thy heard the dogs whining behind the door. They opened the door with the help of the police and found N lying on the floor unable to move. With the help of doctors she came to her senses and said: "I have an impression that all my energy had been sucked out of her". It took her a rather long time to recover.

Don Gaspar and several other men were traveling by minibus during a business trip when they noticed a light on a nearby clearing on the side of the road. They stopped the bus and Gaspar ran towards the light. There was a sudden flash and Gaspar stopped on his tracks seemingly reduced to ashes (!). Two figures exited the hovering light and using a device resembling a large aspirator (vacuum cleaner) absorbed what was left of Gaspar into what appeared to be a large aluminum bag. Somehow in this condition Gaspar was made to understand that he was going to be reconstituted onboard the object. Soon he found himself in a room surrounded by a very white light, brighter on the top and more opaque towards the bottom. The room resembled a doctor's examining room with a single bed in the center. Gaspar met several man-like humanoids very similar to humans except for very subtle differences especially in the area of the hands. He was given a thorough examination that included his heart, head and genitalia. A blond extraterrestrial female was later brought into the room and clearly communicated to Gaspar via telepathy that the wished to mate with him as part of an "experiment". He was also told that human's life span was too short for their purposes. Soon he was returned to his friends, who were sleeping peacefully in the bus and later as he stood around talking with them, his parka and several other belongings suddenly burst into flames. Soon after the incident the witness vision improved dramatically and a strange mark appeared on his forehead.

Claudia accompanied her young son Cristovao, to the elevator so he could go down to play. In the elevator they met a strange man that smiled at Cristovao. Later worried about her son not returning home early she went to ask the doorman about her son and this one told her that he had not seen him get out of the elevator. They searched in vain for young Cristovao the rest of the night. Around the same time strange events were occurring in the apartment: objects were moving on their own volition and a sound similar to a "beep" was constantly heard. The next morning around 0800A an employee at a local power plant discovered Cristovao sleeping on the grounds of the plant. According to Clauida, Cristovao was emitting a very strong odor and told her an incredible story about boarding a "rocket" that took him to a yellow moon, from there he was taken to an even larger "moon." There he encountered a man and a woman that appeared to lack mouths. The humanoids apparently inserted some items in Cristovao's head and gave him rice and fish to eat and a reddish gaseous drink. In that place Cristovao saw other children. He was later placed on a small bed, covered with a blanket and allowed to sleep. He told his mother that they would one day return for him. She also discovered several marks on he son's skin that had not been there previously. He kept pointing at the region of the sky where he said the "yellow moon" had appeared. The strange paranormal occurrences around the house continued for a while and then abruptly ceased.

Two men walking away from a beachfront café saw a bright bluish light flying low above the ocean at high speed in a descending angle. The light then stopped and descended slowly into a wooded area, next to some nearby camping grounds. Both men ran into the wooded area, which was now completely lighted by a bluish light. Upon entering a clearing they saw 8 meters away a huge human like figure, wearing a loose fitting silvery outfit, shiny in appearance. He also wore a large white helmet with a narrow black visor at eye level. The figure stood across from the witnesses and then it turned around and slowly walked towards a hovering metallic bluish saucer shaped craft with a dome on top, that was hovering very close to the ground. Both men became frightened and ran away from the area. During the encounter one of the witnesses felt a peculiar buzzing sound inside his head and suffered from lack of sleep afterwards. The next day ground traces were found at the clearing.

Two of the witnesses were sitting in their living room, when through the window they saw an approaching large yellowish white light angling towards the ground; one of the witnesses described the object as a yellow orange ball of light. One witness ran out the back door to see the object disappear behind the trees. Telephone interference was reported in the house at the same time. Later one of the children in an upstairs room reported seeing a white figure at the foot of the bed that tried to touch him. Moments later the father heard a noise coming from an empty room, going to investigate he then heard a noise at the window, when he pulled the curtains back he saw a white figure standing on top of the back porch roof. The figure was hooded and seemed to be wearing a mask. Later while investigating a noise at the front porch door the same witness saw the white suited figure standing just outside the glass door.

A 25-year man encountered two, irregular shaped, bright yellow objects in the night sky near Grafton. One of the objects approached and appeared to slowly move down a mountainside. It seemed to periodically issue a "shower of sparks". This initial sighting lasted for about 20 minutes. The percipient drove on but had difficulty recollecting the next part of the journey. Some 1/2 hour later, he observed a very bright object, which appeared to be a "chicken coop". The object was stationary on the ground for 10 minutes, and then it moved. It was a huge elongated object with "portholes", hovering over the ground. Photographs were taken but only show a blurred yellow shape. The percipient got out of his car and set off into the paddock to try to get closer to the object. However, as he got nearer, the object appeared to retreat into an extensive fog. The percipient advanced and saw the fog retreating out of the ravine. Suddenly the stopped and returned along its original path towards him. It quickly enveloped him reducing visibility to less than 10 ft. The fog was accompanied by a sound similar to a vacuum cleaner. Then the fog quickly dissipated along with the sound, leaving the witness alone. He returned to his car in the morning and noticed two "shockwaves" one minute apart, as if the whole area was suddenly shaken, and then normality. The witness could not recollect up to an hour of the journey despite traveling on a twisting and turning road, which presumably required the driver's constant attention.

The witness was chopping wood just north of his house when he spotted a white suited figure standing on a path about 90 feet away. The figure was described as four and a half foot tall wearing a square helmet with two round eyeholes; it had broad shoulders and arms that hung down its sides. It wore gray mittens each with 3 digits. The witness spoke English and French at the figure but got no significant reaction. After awhile the witness drove back home and on his way there he spotted a large egg shaped object on a slope in a partially wooded area. The object was dark gray in color and had bubble like windows.

Student Vladimir Sergeevich Kharitonov was vacationing in the city visiting his parents. In a clear moon evening he went outside the house to get some fresh air. Suddenly he noticed strange people in his yard. He approached them asking them angrily: "What are you doing in here?" When he did see their faces, he realized, that these were very unusual people. Their faces were covered by some kind of lattice forming an intricate ornament. The faces were not visible behind the smooth fabric, but their chins were clearly visible. The figures were slim & well built. Their height was about 1.80m. One of them was apparently a woman, since he could see long hair protruding from the hood (cowl) descending to the middle of the back. They were all in tight-fitting suits without buttons or visible seams. The material was shiny, like polished titanium. Behind a nearby heap of logs there was a car-sized object, which the aliens invited the witness to. This machine had a transparent cupola on top approximately 2 m in diameter and 1.5 m in height. The darkish lower part was larger and jutted back behind the cupola, and the front section was shorter. The whole thing was round, with no sharp edges. They went inside and sat on seats. The seats were soft, and comfortable. Inside it was very spacious. The "leader" who invited the witness, sat in front. The woman near him, he sat behind, and the third being close to him. The leader shut the door manually. There was no audible sound of moving or click. After that, the white-yellowish control panel started shining in front of him, consisting of transparent buttons approximately 15 x 30 mm each. They sat immobile for about 1 minute. He counted up to 9 rows of buttons with 25 buttons each. He did not noticed them closed an inner door but he felt isolated from "space". The leader began pressing buttons on the panel; at this point the witness noticed that he had 5 unusual fingers (no details). The machine started slowly ascending, simultaneously rotating around its axis. He saw houses, cars and the road below him. At 40 meters they stopped and faced west. The crew sat calmly, without paying attention to the witness. Suddenly Kharitonov felt a very sharp acceleration of the object and felt a strong vertical ascend. At this moment the witness became frightened and thought he was being abducted and punched the "leader" on the head with his fist. His memory seemed to end at this point or he went unconscious because he next woke up lying on top of the heap of logs where he the craft had originally sat.

He returned conversely the same manner in which he had disappeared. He thought he had been gone only for 5 minutes. During the period of his disappearance he was by himself in a small room. All around him stood five strange humanoids with square heads (or helmets?). Looking out the window he saw a bright sunny day and the tops of trees rocking as if in a strong wind (it was during the middle of winter). This occurred in the presence of 3 witnesses who frantically searched for Babkin to no avail.

During a spate of sightings of low flying objects in the area, that involved military police and state troopers, it was reported that a military police officer was chasing a low flying bluish green oval shaped object that then hovered over his car, his radio transmission abruptly cutoff and a four-foot gray brown figure with a large head, long arms and slender body appeared in front of his car. The police officer panicked, firing five shots into the creature and one at the hovering object. The object then shot straight up and the humanoid ran into the woods. Later it was reported that military patrols apparently located the dead body of the humanoid, which gave off foul ammonia like odor. The humanoid was crated into a wooded box and loaded into a plane, which took off, destination unknown.

Six young boys were playing soccer on a field when they saw a luminous disc shaped object flying over the area. It flew at treetop level then stopped and descended to the ground without making a sound. Four of the boys ran terrified to their houses and two remained behind. Two cousins, Manoel Roberto & Paulinho Roberto had stayed behind. The children told their parents and a search for the two cousins ensued. Later after midnight a telephone call from the police alerted the family of Manoel Roberto that he had been picked up by an engineer Mr. Touro in the nearby city of Rondonopolis, cold and hungry and looking for shelter. Later he narrated that as the object landed his cousin Paulinho and himself also tried to run but were unable to move. They were then attracted towards the object. Inside the craft they found themselves in a large room where there was only a chair and a button. In the room there were also eight short humanoids, wearing reddish rubbery tight-fitting suits, there faces were human-like. Both boys remained on the chair unable to move, until one of the short men approached and passed his hand over the side of the chair. Later the object landed in Rondonopolis and Manoel was let go by the humanoids. Around the same time there was a reported power outage in the area. His cousin Paulinho has never been seen or heard from again. His whereabouts remain unknown.

A father and son awoke like they usually did to the traditional morning run with their dog. From the start, the dog's behavior was uncommon; he hid under the bed and refused to come up. It was necessary to drag him by the collar and then it obediently began to run with the men along Korolev Street. Suddenly the dog stopped in its tracks and began to howl. Both men also stopped and noticed standing about 15 meters away a strange figure about 3 meters in height. The figure was dressed in overalls, which reflected the moonlight; it stood still slightly moving its hands. The head appeared to be directly connected to its shoulders without a visible neck. On its back it had an apparatus resembling a large oxygen tank. The figure then began to move has hands slow motion pointing towards the witnesses. Even though it was cold, both men felt a cold wind flow in their directions and a feeling of horror overwhelmed them. Suddenly the dog rushed towards the strange figure and both men heard an audible high-pitched tone, and immediately, after placing its arms straight on the side of its body the figure rose up straight into the air and disappeared from sight.

Four men were out pouching in a field next to the River Weaver, when they sighted a silvery balloon like object float along the river and land. It emitted a strong purplish glow that made it hard to look at. Two figures of normal height emerged, they wore silvery suits and had lamps on their heads like miners, and these also glowed purple. Cows on a nearby field seemed to become paralyzed and unable to move. Using a metal cage the figures penned in one of the cows and seemed to measure it. The men then became frightened and ran from the area, as they ran they felt a strange tingling sensation around the groin area.

Three young children were playing on the ice on a field of the local elementary school, it was dark, and floodlights illuminated the field. The boys then noticed a "plane" like object that passed slowly over the field. Moments later a second object arrived, it was described as square shaped with large yellow lights on each corner with a slight dome on top and a red light underneath. The object emitted a red beam of light towards the ground, which stopped short before touching it. They then noticed several figures moving stiffly along, around the park area. These figures were humanoid and were dressed in bright yellow outfits with boots and gloves. They were of average height and bald headed. One of the beings appeared different since he had a larger head which seemed "creased" down the middle and was wearing a brown cape over the yellow suit. As the witnesses watched the figures they noted and uncanny silence and an unpleasant sulfur like odor in the area. The figures walked away towards the nearby Public Works Garage. The boys then noticed another figure, this one a woman standing in the parking lot. She had medium long brown hair and wore a dark suit with blue fur around her shoulders and when she walked, she did as if in slow motion. She sat down on a low fence then raised her arm very slowly and pointed to the sky, apparently at another hovering square shaped object. The woman then also walked towards the Public Works building and at one point seemed to appear and disappear as a police vehicle drove by near her.

Avtandilom Vladimirovichem woke up with a terrible toothache; looking out the window he saw the flight of a huge luminous object that disappeared behind the mountains. Astonished, he ran out into his verandah and suddenly saw two enormous "black birds", descending overhead, they appeared not have any wings. Soon the so-called birds gradually descended and landed on the verandah. The two "birds" proved to me two humanoids, of which one was over two meters in height, the other somewhat shorter. Both wore dark tight-fitting suits and helmets. The helmets had one ball-protrusion on each side. In the region of the eyes and nose was an aperture, through which were visible large frog-like eyes without eyelashes. There were other apertures on the breast area. Conversation was conducted telepathically and in "refined" Georgian language. They proposed to the witness to go with them, but he politely refused telling them that he had a bad heart. One of the humanoids then produced a tablet and insisted that the witness swallowed it, at first he refused but when the humanoid insisted he swallowed it. Moments later the witness heard a peeping sound and immediately both humanoids took off vertically upward emitting a smooth hissing sound. These flew away in the direction of the mountains, where apparently the luminous object he had seen previously had landed. His next memory was of waking up in bed not knowing how he got there.

Location. Near Medicaneli Soria Spain

Time: 0545A
30-year old Julio Fernandez and his dog Mus an English Pointer were on their way to do some hare hunting but for some unaccountable reason he took a road that led in the opposite direction, heading north-eastwards along the Barcelona road towards the province of Soria. At about 0430A Julio stopped to drink coffee and anis at a wayside bar known as the Hostal 113, beside the highway on the outskirts of Algora. A strange waiter served. He was tall and fair, wearing rubber gloves and what looked like a wig. (!) During the 20-minute stop, no other customers came into the bar---unusual even for that time of night. Also, a smell of pine pervaded the establishment, which Julio assumed to be a detergent. Subsequent checks showed, however, that the Hostal 113 had not been open at the time and no one matching Julio's description of the waiter worked there. At 0545A Julio left the bar and drove on, half an hour later passing Medicaneli. Suddenly he "knew" that he had to be at a certain location 15 km further on, and put his foot down on the accelerator. At this point his conscious recollection stopped. Later under hypnotic regression Julio remembered driving his car down the road when for no accountable reason he suddenly braked. From this point on the car seemed to act of its own accord, reversing, and then coming to a halt after having entered backwards a narrow dirt trail, which started at the right side of the main road. Then the engine stopped, the lights went out and the radio cassette player ceased to work. It was as though the electrical current had been completely severed: the new battery no longer charged and the plugs no longer sparked properly. Mus growled, so as a precaution, Julio took his Winchester single barrel, semi automatic shotgun out of the boot and loaded it with its maximum of five carriages. It was then that he caught sight of two quasi human beings coming down the track, finally halting only one and a half meters from him. They wore seamless one-piece pastel green coveralls that reached to the feet and gave off a very faint luminosity with no zip fasteners nor openings and gathered at the waists. The overall was sufficiently tight fitting for their muscles to show. No fibers, no thread, and no designs were to be detected on it. The material was smooth and did not rustle when it moved. Pale yellow cowls or hoods, leaving only the face uncovered, covered their heads and shoulders. Their hoods, like their five fingered gloves were made of a texture resembling sating stitch, very fine and fitting the parts of the body closely. The men had extremely broad shoulders, with powerful dorsal muscles showing prominently, narrow waists, and they seemed athletic. Among features that set them apart from ordinary human beings were the exceptionally long arms and hands, large crania and very large eyes. Julio felt a sense of peace and calm envelop him. When they addressed him he at first thought they were using speech, but later, realizing that their lips did not move, he assumed they communicated mentally with him. They asked him to calm down and to follow them. Julio obeyed, taking along his dog and the gun. The aliens walked with a majestic, elegant and rhythmical gait. Julio was then led to a huge craft that had been concealed behind two hillocks in the bottom of a small valley, though hovering four meters above ground. It was an awesome sight. Shaped like an inverted soup plate, of a matt, silvery metallic color, it appeared to have a diameter of about 60 or 70 meters and a height of some 15 to 20 meters. Temporarily ignoring Julio, who had paused to take in the breathtaking sight, the occupants pressed ahead so that he had to run to catch up. Arriving underneath the central area of the craft, Julio noticed its completely smooth surface, as though molded in one piece, with no rivets or fittings. At this point he became aware of a powerful odor of pine, or possibly ozone, a smell also detectable on board. Julio's gun and knife levitated upwards into the craft. A smooth metallic cylinder then emerged silently from the center of the disc, stopping just above the ground. It was about four meters in height and 2.5 meters in diameter. A door, sliding upwards, opened in the descended cylinder's wall, revealing a small compartment lit by a strange light, coming from everywhere of an absolutely pure whiteness which Julio found thoroughly disturbing. By now frightened, he hesitated before stepping through the door into the shaft. So reluctant was the dog to follow its master that Julio had to drag him in. What was now an interior elevator rose silently, stopping at an entrance to a corridor, where the party alighted. Further along was another corridor, with two metallic doors, about 2.5 meters high. These doors were finely fashioned, and he could see no hinges, handles, or latches on them. The whole appearance of the place was the most clinically aseptic that could be imagined...there were no internal angles. The walls were continuous with the ceiling, being joined by a gentle curve. Continuing along the circular passage, he suddenly came to a small ladder...it did not seem to him logical that people with a technology capable of keeping a craft floating weightless four meters off the ground should require a ladder in order to pass from one level to another. The ladder looked like the steps of a swimming pool, with a very shiny finish and a cylindrical handrail. The semi-cylindrical steps were set at intervals of about 40 cm. One of the beings led the way, scaling the steps in two jumps with phenomenal agility. With some difficulty, carrying the dog under his right arm and with the gun over his shoulder, Julio followed. He noticed that the railing felt exceptionally cold. At the top of the ladder, which led up to a room through a circular hole, was another individual who, like the others, assured Julio that he had nothing to worry about. The "flight deck" as it turned out to be, was about 15 meters wide and five meters high. Interestingly, unlike Julio's shoes and the claws of his dog, the steps of the crewmembers made no noise on the floor. In the center of the flight deck stood a kind of console. It had some resemblance to an electronic organ. It was about 2.5m wide and, standing on it, set in metal footings was a transparent glass screen. The control table itself was standing upon a circular platform of the same white material as the rest of the floor. Elsewhere on the flight deck stood three other, smaller consoles, about one and a half meters wide, set around the circumference of the room, in front of which were strange, high, conical seats, with the pointed part towards the bottom. Also set close to the surrounding wall was a large square panel, leaden grayish in color, and a rectangular table of a metallic, blackish blue sheen. Set around the dome at intervals of about one and a half meters were rectangular windows made out of what appeared to be smoked glass. Meanwhile, Mus had been around the flight deck, sniffing at everything, including at least one of the aliens, who reacted in a surprise manner. When Julio called out to his dog, the sound of its name evoked great surprise among the entities. On asking where his hosts originated, Julio received an unintelligible mental response, including the expression "three seven, squared." After this the aliens indicated that they would like to examine his dog and take blood samples from him. Mus was carried to a rectangular table and blood from his paw was precisely, carefully extracted with a fairly normal looking syringe. The men then communicated to Julio that they wanted to examine him and placed him behind the screen on the rectangular table. After a few minutes he was given to understand that was all to be required of him. But in subsequent recollections---which proved harder to recover and which clearly he found very disturbing---Julio said that numerous samples had been extracted from him, including blood, semen, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, synovia, saliva, and gastric and intestinal juices. He believed that two women, similar facially to the men, were on board at the time. Politely ordered to sit on one of the seats at the central console, Julio did so. Next to Julio sat one of the crewmembers that, having raised the left armrest nimbly fingered several silvery buttons. The seat began to revolve along a track in the central console. Julio continued to sit beside the crewmember, his dog and gun at his side. Suddenly, a brief, piercing whistle was heard, producing a commotion on the flight deck. The tallest of the three crew members quickly headed toward one of the console units and all three studied the remote viewing screens in front of them. An image appeared on the screens of an older looking man. At this point the crew members began talking among themselves, their telepathy with Julio interrupted. The man on the screen, who seemed to be a superior, spoke first, and then the others conversed with him. The language sounded harsh to Julio, he described it as a mixture between German and Korean. They seemed to spit out the words as they were talking, and some of the sounds were like coughs. They never modulated their speech; the words seemed to come up out of their stomachs and did not seem to be produced by the vocal cords but to be thrown out by the diaphragm and from time to time they emitted a little cry as though they were choking. The image disappeared from the viewing screen. Julio found himself back in telepathic communication with his hosts. Hectic activity ensued; as crewmembers started desperately pushing buttons. The central platform began to rotate anticlockwise, halting when the control console came in line with what Julio assumed was a "computer." Another whistling sound could be heard, from which point Julio seems to have passed out. After another whistle Julio was awake again. The crewmembers showed interest in Julio's gun and, passing it around among themselves, asked him about its use. A heavy smoker, Julio lit a cigarette. The men asked if they might take one away for study and deposited it into the same cylinder. Soon Julio was escorted to the lift cylinder, the metal door rose and he was back outside, in bright sunlight. He staggered back to his car, where Mus immediately bolting from the cylinder, awaited him. The car engine now worked, and he drove away without bothering to look back at the disc. Among the interesting items of information imparted telepathically to Julio by the ufonauts, both during and after his alleged abduction, was that other, shorter beings were coming here who were less evolved ethically. These others, it was explained, "are engaged in probing and programming" the minds of those humans whom they have contacted or kidnapped. Julio Fernandez was killed in a car crash in 1992, coincidentally near the site where he claimed to have been abducted.

A 15-year old teenager abruptly woke up in her bed. She sees a strong light emanating from the window and is unable to move. However she is able to see out the window and sees hovering very close to the ground in the garden a strange luminous object shaped like a dome, which was completely motionless. The craft had pulsating multi-colored lights on its top. Suddenly she heard a voice in her head that said: "We will pick you up and you will join us" Terrified she answered in her mind" "No I will not come with you because I am materialistic and very attached to banal joys of life" "You are advanced spiritually and extremely distant from my concerns. Leave me, spirituality does not interest me". After about an hour of constant mental struggle her paralysis subsided and she was finally able to move. The dome-shaped machine slowly then rose up. Terrified she ran for her parents who saw the slowly ascending object emitting multicolored flashes of light.

Three teachers, Mr. Moreno, Mr. Aguilar and Mr. Coronado were on their way back to town from a late dinner, when they noticed bright flashes of green, red and white light coming from a nearby hill. They stopped their vehicle and got out to obtain a better look. They walked towards the lights, which appeared to be about 300 meters away. The light seemed to dim the closer they got to it. When they were about 20 meters from the light, they noticed that it was now an opaque egg shaped object, about 15 meters in length. It appeared to have three antennae like protrusions on top. It now gave off a fluorescent white glow. Curious the three men approached the object even further and began to surround it. Suddenly, one of the men noticed something very close to him and signaled the other two. They all then saw in an apparently freshly dug ditch a short "robot like' humanoid that appeared to be still digging. The being seemed to be wearing a tight fitting silvery outfit with a round helmet. The little man simply ignored the trio and kept digging. Frightened all three ran across a field, entered the vehicle and drove away at very high speed. The next day they returned to the site and found numerous ground traces, including the ditch.

Several soldiers were out on a routine patrol, including one named David. While resting David was putting on his backpack when a flash of light hit him. It came from an object just above the trees. It was metallic and elliptical in shaped and was hovering 100 meters away and was completely silent. Then it shot away at an incredible speed without a sound. Years later David had started having flashbacks of what really happened. He remembers putting on his backpack when a dwarf in a cloak and hood approached him. He said he would take him into the forest where he would be given something. He was led away from the rest of the group, who did not react at all to what was going on. He was taken to a clearing in the woods where a ship had landed. His next recollection was of standing in an empty room. He then found himself facing his double (cloning?) across the room. The double was wearing a blue cloak and hood. Next he recalled walking out in the forest with the dwarf by his side wearing his double's cloak. He then came upon his companions and took them with him back into the forest. He remembers entering what seemed to be a hospital ward, besides being long the room was also crescent shaped, with beds filled with people, including his colleagues. At the foot of very bed was a container of unknown substance, with body parts of people; bloody and horrific.

His shirt was open and a cold metallic box sat on his chest. Three beings were in the room and were looking at a row of flashing lights and a TV screen. One being spoke by using telepathy to the witness and led him through a curving hallway and a small airlock to a room filled with computers and other equipment, it was apparently the control room. The beings were humanoid, with large bulging and hairless heads, almost jawless, with small mouths, slit nostrils and no ears. The eyes were large and glowing and seldom blinked. The beings were 4 to 5-feet tall, seemingly frail with pale, soft skin. They wore red overalls. One of the beings appeared to be the leader and guide.

The 19-year old witness had fallen asleep that night when he was suddenly awakened by his mother's dog. The dog was growling and shaking and staring at the bedroom door. The witness got out of bed and went to check and see what the dog was growling at. Going out into the hallway he heard a noise in the den area. Hoping to confront the intruder the witness put on a pair of jeans and sneaked into the den. Once inside he did not see anything, he checked his parents room and nothing either. He also checked the kitchen and headed back to the den, the dog still growling, and following him. Suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, turning around he saw a figure resembling a human. The witness decided to attack the figure. He came to the next day around noon. He had been stuffed under the kitchen counter, he was naked, his nose was bloody, and he felt sick and disoriented. The dog was hiding under the couch in the den refusing to come out. Feeling terrible and very hot the witness apparently fell asleep. He woke up suddenly at nighttime, naked again and the nose bleeding again. He looked over to the front door of the house and saw a 7 ft tall figure that looked very muscular, but incredibly, it looked like if it was on fire. It glowed as if it were a bright hot coal in a furnace. Its back was to the witness when he first saw it. It turned around as if was checking on the witness. The witness was apparently paralyzed and was unable to move. The strange being came over to him and put its hands on his chest. Strangely the witness did not feel any heat or fire. But he felt as it had been hit on the chest point blank by a shotgun blast. He also felt a great deal of some type of energy emanating from the creature. The witness felt his skin vibrating and so was the couch. The creature touched the dog and it fell over. The witness then heard a telepathic message in his head, which said, "That he had been with him since he was a kid, that he had been learning many things." The witness attempted to get up but was told to go to sleep. The next day he woke up around 1500, feeling very tire and weak and could not eat. He fell asleep again and was sick for a few days after that. The creature had disappeared. He described it as 7 ft tall, heavyset, and radiated some type of energy. It had stripes on it.

They described the creature as about 1.2-1.5 meters in height, with large pointed ears, and covered with long gray hair. Seeing the car, the creature turned around and started to run away. The witness accelerated his vehicle in order to catch up, but incredibly he could not keep up with the creature, which moved very quickly. The speeds of the car reach a speed of 110km per hour and they still could not approach the creature. The creature suddenly turned into the forest and disappeared among the trees. Godziszewski began to chase the creature on foot, but he was suddenly overcome by a feeling of dread and fear. After 2 minutes he returned to the car and drove back to Stolec on his way there he saw another orange ball of light hovering over the village of Buk, other residents there also saw the hovering light.

Around 2315 several witnesses spotted a formation of luminous objects flying in a V-formation over a hill near Cerreto. Sometime later Cesarina Campioni was preparing to go to bed when she was attracted to a strange luminescence coming from her backyard. Looking out the window she noticed a strange "individual," that walked in strange leaps and bounds over the ground. At the same time she heard a deep guttural metallic, incomprehensible voice. She described the individual as slightly over a meter in height. It wore a shiny metallic loose fitting outfit that covered his body entirely. The head was covered with a pointy helmet with a dark oval-shaped visor. It also wore a dark belt around its waist. The strange entity bounded away and disappeared into a nearby olive grove.

The witness was in her kitchen when she noticed a large luminous sphere; clear in color descend to the ground nearby. The witness went to fetch a camera with the intention of taking several photographs. At this point the sphere seemed to shrink in size and a short being wearing a bright orange overall type suit stepped out. The being walked around looking in all directions. Its face appeared brighter than the rest of the body and it had human like features. On its head he wore a cone shaped device or cap. It moved in short steps and bounds. This apparently frightened the witness who yelled for her husband. At this point the being glanced at the witness and ran behind a nearby tree stump. A thick fog then began forming in the area and at the same time the luminous sphere shrank in size and dissolved into nothing. The being apparently disappeared also.

UFO Researcher, Pat De La Franier was at his office going over some detailed UFO reports he wanted to present on a local UFO program when there was a sudden knock at the door. Now, where his office is located, he could hear everyone coming in the main door, being admitted, and then walking down the hall. But this knock came from nowhere, and when he opened the door, there was a very odd-looking man standing there. He was dressed entirely in black. He was about 5 ft 6 inches tall, extremely thin, with a slightly enlarged head. His hair was just nubs, as if he had been completely shaved and the hair was just growing back. His skin had a strange olive hue. His lips were very thin, and his cheeks were so sunken in that they looked like they were pinned on the inside. His eyes were dark and extremely long; they literally wrapped around his temples. La Franier stated that he had never seen eyes like that, "They just bored into me". The stranger just stood there staring at the witness, who did not move. La Franier was fixated on his eyes and he felt intruded upon on a mental level. Finally, after a full minute, he spoke. "Would you like a photograph of your family?" It was a strange question, and his voice was very strange, too. It was low and hesitant as if this man had absolutely no conception of how to speak, how to put a sentence together. His English was impeccable, but the was struggling to get through the sentence. La Franier said no that he did not need any more pictures. And with that the stranger stepped back, turned and just disappeared. The man was completely gone, later La Franier discovered that many of his files and papers were missing.

14-year old Liz De Albuquerque (involved in a previous encounter) was walking back home along a construction area when she noticed a small white luminous sphere quickly approaching her position. The sphere approached to within five meters from the witness. It seemed to be about 2 meters in diameter and hovered at about seven meters from the ground. Suddenly she heard a voice speak to her in perfect Portuguese. The voice asked if she wanted to come with "them". Terrified the witness said no and ran quickly to her house. There was a period of missing time reported. During hypnotic regression the witness remembered seeing a familiar face appear within the sphere of light. It was the face of an alien she had encountered six years before. During the encounter she was allowed to ask several questions about the aliens purpose and history. No other information.

At one point he briefly looked into another direction and when he looked back he was surprised to see four human like figures standing near the mast. Their appearance and conduct struck him. They stood on a high hill under extreme windy conditions. They were also dressed strangely, they wore dark brown raincoats or jackets, their heads were bare and they had short-cropped black hair. All four were very identical and looked to be about 30 years of age. Another witness now arrived and also saw the mysterious figures another engineer watched the strange figures climbing the mast under improbable weather conditions.

Doctor of technical sciences, N F Kusov was staying at his dacha in order to finish a manuscript he had been working on. As he sat in his study he noticed an uncommon light shining from outside, apparently from behind some trees. He decided to go investigate the source and saw at about 100 ft from the light a cigar shaped object, 8 meters in length, sitting on the earth in a clearing at a 45-degree angle. Kusov approached to within 15 ft of the object, which emanated a beautiful orange light with different tints. As Kusov approached the object even further he suddenly felt his insides "bursting" open, he realized he was being enveloped in a low frequency (7 hertz) field. The vibration of this field is capable of destroying any living organism. Kusov took several steps back, and the discomfort passed. He approached again and the same thing happened. At this point he noticed, to his consternation how the rays of the sun seemed to be absorbed by the surface of the object, seemingly entering what it appeared to him as a "black hole". Shaken by what he had seen, Kusov walked back to the dacha but suddenly broke into a run towards the object, which still sat on the ground, again he could not approach the craft due to the high degree of discomfort. Suddenly the object rose above the earth to about 2-3 meters, and then shot away vertically upward; interestingly Kusov felt no shockwave emanating from the object's "liftoff". Shocked he stood around for 5 minutes then frightened walked back to the dacha. There he looked at his wristwatch and was astonished to see that almost 5 hours had passed and he thought he had only been outside for 30 minutes.

The witness, 10-year old Eduardo Enrique Lacayo was out playing in the front yard of his uncle's house when he saw a cat. He decided to chase the animal as it ran towards a large empty lot across from the house. As he ran towards the field he suddenly noticed a hovering silvery disc shaped object that emitted a strong yellow light. The object resembled two soup plates placed together and was about 15 meters in diameter, and it was hovering at about 200 meters above the ground, with a slight wobbling motion. Suddenly a gray cloud like mist emerged from the object and descended towards the ground. Stunned, Enrique watched as the mist like vapor assumed the shape of a human-like figure that remained suspended above the ground. The figure wore a kind of "cape" or long tunic that did not reach its feet, since the witness was able to observe gold-colored lace less shoes on the figure's feet. The figure was about 1 meter 70 cm in height. The cat apparently also observed the spectacle since the witness noticed that the animal's hair stood on end and scurry terrified from the scene. The witness did not notice any facial features on the figure, except what appeared to be thin lips. The figure extended its arms at the witness as if beckoning to him and appears to open its mouth. At this point the witness, who had so far felt no fear, ran quickly away from the area. Looking back he did not see the figure and the object was seen rising up at very high speed.

The witness was walking back home alone when he observed in the sky a very bright object that began descending at high speed. The object descended low over a nearby fenced field and the witness could now see that it was a shiny circular metallic craft within a ball of fire. The craft descended projecting two bright beams of white light to the ground and extended four metallic legs to the ground. The area around the witness seemed to darken, as he felt compelled to walk forward towards the fence. Soon he was grabbed by two short humanoids wearing shiny white close fitting suits and head enclosing helmets with closed visors and on top two small antenna like protrusions. The beings spoke to the witness then took him inside the object. Once inside he experienced difficulty in breathing and noticed that the air appeared warmer and denser. The room was illuminated by a bright light and then he noticed two more beings seated at a strange console like apparatus. The beings walked over to the witness and then he was surprised to see that these were female dressed in shiny white suits, with attractive capes of the same material. These also wore helmets with antennas. They were a little taller than the other humanoids and had hair to their shoulders. One had black hair and the other was blond. The black haired female approached the witness and told him that he was going to be taken to their planet. The witness declined the invitation and begged to be released. At this point the blond woman walked over and ordered the others to let him go. He was then allowed to walk out and down a stairway to the ground. He then stood on the ground and watched the object ascend at high speed and vanish.

The object was silvery in color and was encircled by orange lights. The lights changed to pink then to a dazzling white and the object began to rise. The object then descended again and the lights dimmed. The two girls then noticed four strange humanoid figures walking towards them. Two were described as seven-foot tall and the other two smaller. All moved in a jerky, zigzag fashion. The humanoids were described as having no feet, short legs and arms, short black hair, small eyes, no hands, no ears and pale colored skin. All wore orange colored robes with a silver strip down the neckline. All four beings were encased in a white hazy glow. During the incident horses were rearing, the dogs were howling and cats were running around frantic.

Jan Wolski a 71-year old farmer, was passing through a forest in his horse drawn cart when he noticed two individuals ahead, walking in the same direction, but with "supple jumps" like divers on the sea bed. When one of them approached a muddy patch, his feet seemed to slide across the mud, as reported in a number of other cases. When Wolski caught up with the strangers, they walked alongside the horse and cart for a while them jumped onboard and sat down gently, one at each side, gesturing to Wolski to carry on. The added weight caused the mare to exert extra effort. Wolski drove on while the strangers exchanged some words in an incomprehensible tongue. Shortly, as the cart approached a clearing in the forest, a strange, almost "transparent white" object could be seen, hanging in the air about 70 meters away, emitting a faint humming sound. Wolski described the object as like a short bus, but with a roof like a barn, it was about 5 meters in length, three meters in width, and about 2.5 meters in height. It shone, as if nickel-plated. No windows were seen. At its four corners, and half-way up it had on the outside, barrels with black vertical rods running through them and carrying what looked like spirals rather reminiscent of corkscrews. These black rods were rotating very fast. The "corkscrews" emitted a range of colors, and the barrels seemed to have been the source of the humming. When closer to the object, Wolski said the sound was like that of bumblebees in flight. The craft's surface was smooth, stainless, and seamless. At a height of some 50 cm from the ground was suspended a lift held by four thin cables attached above the entrance to the craft, which had descended as the trio approached. Stepping on to the platform one of the entities invited Wolski aboard, gesturing to him that he should grasp the cables. After rising rapidly the lift stopped in front of an opening and Wolski was motioned inside. Inside, Wolski stepped into a chamber with walls that were almost black and saw two more beings identical with the first two. The chamber was rectangular. There was no internal lighting other than the daylight from the open door. The walls, floor, and ceiling were a grayish black the same color as the overalls of the occupants. The floor was shining, as though polished. The walls were smooth and hard to the touch, and made of a material resembling glass. Against the four walls there were seats, each fastened by two black cables. No apparatus was seen inside the contraption, with the exception of two black tubes that ran from one gable wall to the other and two holes, about 30 cm apart, into each of which one of the entities inserted alternately a smallish black rod. From floor to ceiling, the height was about 1.8 meters. On the floor of this cabin were about ten crows or rooks, which seemed to be paralyzed, though they could move their heads and eyes. The four identical beings, of indeterminate sex, were about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall and had delicate, slim figures. They were dressed in tight-fitting, flexible one-piece suits of a grayish black rubber like material, covering the entire body except the faces and hands. No pockets, belt, or fasteners were seen. Their legs seemed thicker than those of normal men, and form the way these curved when the beings sat in the cart with their legs hanging down, they looked like prehensile limbs. A hump was visible on the shoulders, as though something was contained under the suits. The slim, greenish colored hands had five fingers, between which were fine membranes, except for the gap between thumb and forefinger. Their heads were relatively large, with faces of an olive green or greenish brown hue, having high cheekbones that gave them an Asiatic appearance. The eyes, almond shaped, very long, were dark, and appeared to lack any whites. In the place of the nose, there was only a slight protuberance with two small vertical openings. The mouth was straight and thin. Their teeth were white. No hair was visible on the face. When the beings smiled, the mouth twisted to one side with the effect of a grimace. Their speech was rapid and delicate. They had a polite, gentle demeanor and Wolski felt no fear in their presence. The beings indicated to Wolski that he should take off his clothes, and one of them helped him undo his shirt buttons. Facing him less than two meters away, one of the beings held in each hand a gray disc shaped object that seemed to be attached to the hand by something like a suction pad. The discs were vibrating and emitting a dull humming sound. Wolski was positioned with one side facing towards the entity holding the discs, then with his back towards him, and finally with the other side. Wolski's arms were raised alternately by the entities, whose fingers were very cold. During the process he smelled an odor similar to that of burning sulfur; a smell that lingered in his clothing for days afterwards. When ready he was shown the way out, bowed, and said goodbye. The beings bowed likewise, smiling. The same lift took him down almost to ground level, so that he was obliged to jump down a short way. Reaching his hor
