1980 HUMANOID REPORTSCompiled by

After the incredible decade of the 70's was over, 1980 arrived bringing in unforgettable and incredible cases that will remain as classics in UFO History. Many were still the high-strangeness category that flourished in the mid 70's. Many were CE2 cases as weird as any C3 or C4 of that year such as Cash-Landrum, Rosedale Australia, and of course the famous or infamous Bentwaters conundrum. A new trend was being noticed (or more documented) that of so-called abductions or missing time episodes, many CE3's were now just not CE3's anymore, something hidden was emerging. Echoes of Betty & Barney Hill, Travis Walton, Pascagoula, and Villas Boas were being repeated worldwide. 1980 was a prelude to a slow period of reports, of a period that Abductions, Roswell, Majestic 12 were the main preoccupation of most UFO researchers and groups. All of the sudden close encounters of the Third Kind were not in style any more.

The 16-year old witness had gotten up to get a drink when he looked out the kitchen window and saw a huge light descending towards him outside. It suddenly stopped in mid-air. He ran to wake his parents but he was ignored. Suddenly he heard a voice in his head telling him not to be afraid, that he was special. He then felt calm and began communicating mentally with the light. The light seemed to maneuver at his command. His next memory was of waking up in the kitchen around dawn. Later he would remember being inside a huge object with a line of about 20 people, behind and in front of him. They went through a compartment that was apparently a waterless shower. The occupants of the craft, apparently human like beings, told the witness that they were from the "future," that many were historians trying to learn from the past. They also told the group that the human race disrespected other living creatures and was immature and not ready for contact. (Contact the future humans?).

Jeff Bach was driving back home after leaving a friend's house, as far as he could see he was alone in the road. As he drove a few miles down the road he could see in the distance about 8 "people" walking across the highway. These figures were walking across the 2 northbound lanes he was in. They were slightly spread out and appeared to be dressed in a sort of blue flowing robes or something similar. Concerned and wondering where these strange figures had come from, he approached them. Suddenly one of them turned around, and walked back into the lanes, it raised its arm in an apparent attempt to flag him down, when he did this some of the others started rushing back to the witness car as well. Frightened the witness gunned his engine and headed directly to the lead figure, which incredibly did not budge. At the last minute he swerved back into his lane in order to avoid hitting the figure and drove away from the area. The figures were about 6-feet tall.

Teenager Nina Grinyova was walking along a riverbank when she saw a figure standing some 25 meters away. She said the figure was facing her and was piercing her very soul with his glance. Its eyes were big and glowing, and all of his body was sort of glowing. He was dark and at the same time somewhat silvery. He was about 2 meters tall, very hefty in appearance, square, and straight from shoulder to hip, with a short neck, the head put forward, the arms hanging down freely. The witness walked towards it and attempted to attract its attention with a rubber toy shaped like a bird. But the creature made a sharp turn and quickly went down the slope toward the river. It moved gracefully and very fast, unlike a human.

9-year old Alex Driscoll was walking to school on Gammons Lane when he saw a 6 ft tall or taller bird-like creature that was standing behind a gate on the side of a house. The gate was about 18inches of the ground and about 5 or 6 ft high, so all he could see was its feet and lower legs below the gate and its neck and head above the fence. At first Driscoll thought it was somebody wearing a costume until he saw its feet that were webbed and orange in color, like giant duck's feet. It did not have any feathers, but thick black fur on its head and Driscoll presumed on its body. Its face was similar to the "Big Bird" character in Sesame Street, except for the fur. It had an orange beak, larger than a duck's. The witness left the area and did not see the strange creature depart.

The witness (source) was sitting at the University of Pennsylvania library reading a UFO book when he noticed a strange figure standing in front of him. The man was very gaunt looking, very pale. He was about 6-feet, 1 inch tall, weighed about 140 pounds and wore a black suit, black shoes, black string tie and a bright white shirt. The suit was loose and it looked as though he had slept in it for three days. The strange sat down and asked the witness what he was doing. The witness replied that he was reading about "flying saucers", the man asked if he believed in the reality of the phenomena. Receiving and indecisive reply the man became irritated and screamed that they were "the most important fact of the century." With a single movement the man got up, put his hand on the witness shoulder, and told him to "go well in his purpose," he then quickly left.

80-year old Lupita Hernandez who was living in the isolated and enigmatic region known as "La Zona del Silencio" (Zone of Silence) reported receiving regular visits from two tall, handsome, green-eyed men---sometimes accompanied by an equally green eyed woman---who customarily asked her to fill a large aluminum canteen with water. Hernandez noted that whenever these startling visitors departed, they would leave in their wake "a very pretty odor, like perfume or incense." On one occasion, Hernandez asked to come along with the trio. They complied, and she felt herself being transported to the landing site of their vehicle; Hernandez allegedly "did not fell a sense of speed as she flew through the air to the site."

Two months after seeing a ball shaped flashing light maneuvering over the area that emitted a "whirling" sound, 14-year old Maria Korn, was visited by two strange men at the Convent of Jesus and Mary, where she had been living. She was shown to the dining room where the two strangers met her. Sitting at a large table were two men dressed in black. As soon as she saw the two men she felt cold and put on her jacket. They told her they were from a local psychiatrist office. She noticed that their eyes were of a brownish grayish shade. During what she termed polite conversation she noticed some strange things about the visitors. They looked the same almost as if they were identical twins and their skin was smooth and featureless, no beard or "shadow" evident. Their hair was shiny black, each brushed in the same style, and their suits seemed brand new, fitted perfectly as if tailor maid. One of them asked Maria if anything strange had happened recently, but she refused to tell him about her experience. At that point the lunch bell rang and they asked what it was for, they were not wearing watches and asked at one point what time it was. Upon leaving she shook their hands and they felt ice cold to the touch. The men walked to the doorway, exactly in step with each other. They walked outside to a waiting black vehicle. They had a chauffeur also dressed in black. The car did not have any mirrors and the windows were very dark tinted. The license plate had a black background. She caught a glimpse into the vehicle when one of them opened the door, but all she could see was darkness. The car then drove away without making any sound at all. She saw the car turn out of the convent gate but did not see it moving up the hill that leads to the convent.

This amazing incident occurred to the crew of a new model Russian Tupolev strategic bomber (Bear-class long range bomber) during one of its test flights to Tiksi airbase in a remote area in northwestern Siberia. As reported by the test pilot, a colonel in the Russian Air Force, Alexander Miheev, who was commander of the flight crew. On their way to Tiksi the crew suddenly lost control over the aircraft and the giant 4-engine turbo jet strategic bomber & missile carrier was suddenly sucked up into some huge object hovering above. The shocked crew of 7 men saw unknown green lights and numerous wires. All of the men experienced a burning feeling in their heads and a strong headache. All flight instruments malfunctioned at once and went out of control. The aircraft had been apparently lifted up into a huge hangar inside an alien spacecraft. Colonel A. Miheev also reported that they saw a greenish door emitting a "poisonous" green fluorescent light, which apparently led to the interior of the UFO. Then the crewmembers heard voices in their headphones. The voices sounded quite earthly and spoke in pure Russian which told them to remain calm and forbid them from getting out of the cabin and into the alien spacecraft. The aircraft's engine was apparently still in operation. The aliens themselves were not in sight, but their voices were loud and clear. After the aircraft was apparently scanned and studied by the aliens it was let go. The giant UFO then opened a huge cargo bay door and the "Tupolev" descended out and continued its flight to the Tiksi aerodrome. After landing in Tiksi the crew decided not to tell their commanders about the incident, convinced that no one would believe them and fearing that they would be deemed insane. Apparently the aliens were interested in the strategic Russian long range bomber since it carried nuclear bombs. Other pilots of similar aircraft reported similar events. One aircraft flying between Tomsk and Omsk disappeared from the radar screen for 3 minutes. During the disappearance all the crew's watches stopped and no one asked unnecessary questions after the landing.

The 9-10 year old witness remembered seeing gray shadows in her bedroom that frightened her. The forms were dark with caps on their heads. One night she remembered waking up and seeing white humanoids with long skinny arms and legs, almond shaped eyes looking at her and coming towards her. She recalled being in a light-colored room that she walked through, shutting the door behind her. The room appeared to be on a cliff with a huge drop. She also remembered being levitated on her back in the dark with stars rushing past. At one point she was apparently tested to see how much pain she could endure.

Dante Franch was at his home when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his body and a bright light surrounded him. He lost all control of his body as he felt rising up into the air. He seemed to travel on a beam of light for about a kilometer to a distant object that hovered high above his house. Once inside the object he was confronted by two women and a man who communicated telepathically with him reassuring him that he would not be harmed, the aliens were human-like in appearance. He was told to lie on a cot, while the man approached him and seemed to scan him with a brown panel 30 x 40 cm in diameter, which he passed over the witness body. Franch could not move but he felt at peace. Inside the object everything was luminous and the walls were curved and he saw what appeared to be a command console off to one side. One of the women then waved a large diamond-like stone very close to the witness's forehead without touching it. While she did this she looked at the other aliens and telepathically informs them, "He is ready now". Finally Franch is deposited back into his home via the same beam of light.

As the figure came closer it became apparent that it was over 7 ft tall and totally black in color. It came within 10 ft of the witnesses before they ran away from the area. Another strange detail was that as they ran away from the area, his friend Mike, although he ran too, tried to block the witness from escaping (?) (Was he under some type of mental control?). Mike has never explained why he did that.

Two forest rangers were out in a wooded area setting wolf traps when a luminous cylinder shaped object landed on the ground close to them. A red beam of light shot out of the object temporarily blinding both men. One of the rangers felt a tug on his belt and when he looked down he saw a short humanoid with spindly arms and legs and a pale face without eyes or mouth. The humanoid wore a dark green tight fitting outfit, gloves and had a dark tube hanging from its thin neck. The witness then swung his ski staff at the creature, but the creature then leveled the black tube at him shooting out a pulsating beam of light, blinding both men. Both of them recovered to see the cylinder shaped craft taking off enveloped in a red haze. The man that had swung at the creature collapsed and had to be carried home by the other. He later suffered from classic symptoms of radiation poisoning.

Seconds later the headlights of his vehicle picked up a strange shape on the road ahead. The object was large, dark, and metallic with three red beams of light projecting from the top down to the ground. He recalled seeing several men moving around it as if doing some type of task. As he came closer to the object he realized that it was a tortoise shaped craft with a curved pipe on top. He saw two figures that appeared to be inspecting the red beams. Reducing his speed he noticed that one of the figures wore a peaked cap and a dark two-piece uniform. His arms were at his side. The second figure was wearing a one-piece suit, gray, or silver in color and he was stooping down looking at the object as if inspecting it for damage. As the witness drove slowly away from the area his headlights suddenly cut off and he was forced to slam on the brakes, at this point he apparently blacked out.

The witness who for the past two to three months had been followed by three strange men wearing black suits, was standing in front of his house one night when a car drove up and the door opened. The witness apparently lost his will and was compelled to enter the vehicle; inside the same three men he had been trying to hide from met him. They drove around for a while until they reached a wooded area outside the city. They stopped the car near a large hovering object that was encircled by a luminous ring. The witness and the three men then walked underneath the object and were hit by a beam of light. He suddenly found himself inside the object, sitting on a chair. Suddenly handles appeared on the chair that secured his wrists and an iron bar pressed his forehead backwards while another gadget held his neck. The three men then appeared and suddenly seemed to shed their skin or bodies and transformed themselves into green scaly reptilian like creatures with heart shaped heads. The beings interrogated the witness and spoke of upcoming global events. At one point a door in the room was opened and he was able to see human corpses hanging by their feet from hooks on the walls. Everything went blank after that and his next conscious memory was of standing next to a theater near his home.

It was outside all right, and above, but too high to see the source. He went downstairs and out the French Doors onto the patio in back, and there he saw a beautiful disc-shaped craft hovering in the air a few score meters from where he stood. He walked out toward it, and suddenly found himself inside it in his bedroom clothes. The occupants looked entirely human to him. They told him they came from a planet in what we call the Pleiades star system, and showed him the inside of his house on a viewing screen. They took him someplace away from there for a short time while they spoke to him, and then they returned. He had asked them something about this ridiculous idea of changing time, and now to his great surprise he saw that his house was gone, and the property looked like it did before any construction had begun on the site. This terrified him for a moment, as they showed him more of the surrounding area in a different time. Then they withdrew and returned him to his house in present time. Suddenly he was out of the spacecraft and he watched it withdraw and disappear. He turned and walked back to the French Doors, which were now closed and locked from the inside. Next day, about mid-morning, his wife received a call from their grown daughter who lived separately and who worked at night. She happened to casually mention that she had come by the night before on her way home from work and finding everyone asleep, went to the refrigerator for a glass of milk and noticed one of the French Doors standing wide open, so she closed and locked it.

A 55-year old farmer, Mr. Pavao, had left his farm taking his sheep to the fields. At about 1100A he heard a noise, at the same time his dog panicked and he felt something happening behind him. He turned and was surprised to see two 8-feet tall humanoids standing close to him and staring at him. The humanoids were described as very strong looking, and dressed in gray suits. Their faces resembled humans except that the eyes and skin were different. Their hands were hairy and very big. The beings approached the witness and with friendly gestures touched his left shoulder and several other parts of his body. At the same time they spoke in a strange language with a modulation like a human's voice. One of the beings then pointed to the sheep, and Mr. Pavao told him the type of animal it was. Meanwhile the two beings kept talking and laughing. The witness then gave an order to his dog to fetch one of the sheep. When he looked back at the beings he saw an intense flash of light, which blinded him for a few seconds. After that the beings had disappeared.

The witness, Mr. Stanislaw T, was sitting in the kitchen feeling a little hung-over after an afternoon with friends. As he sat on the kitchen table listening to Radio Free Europe he suddenly heard a strange voice coming from behind him. He looked back and noticed four little men standing nearby. They were about 70cm tall human-like and looked to be about 35 years old. All four were identical to each other. Unable to freely move the witness began to talk to the intruders. He first asked them what were they doing there, but received no answer. He then asked the little men if they had come in a UFO. Surprisingly he received an affirmative answer to this question. The witness expressed surprised as to how they had entered the house since everything was locked. He was told that they were there all the time, but cannot always be seen. The witness could not understand how that could be possible, and was told that they were in a very high state of evolution and were able to do things like that. The witness then asked if they were from an "American film" about invaders from space. The little men reply that they were indeed real enough and not part of any movie. The witness then asked the strangers if they were so intelligent and powerful why didn't help the earth in preventing humanity to destroy everybody in a nuclear holocaust. He received no answer. He then asked them if he could wake his wife and daughter, but again received no reply and saw no reaction. His last question was if they were returning someday in the future, again no answer. Stanislaw then briefly put his head on the table, looked up and to his surprised the entities had vanished. He immediately woke up his wife and daughter and told them about the incident, they did not believe him. The next day he went to the police station and reported the incident.

Five witnesses, including Rafael Tobajas, spotted a low flying luminous white-orange object that seemed to be lifting up from some nearby wooded hills. Minutes later the object divided itself in three different luminous sections, then it united again into one luminous point. Soon using a pair of binoculars they saw the lights descend in a falling leaf like motion. Near the ground two huge man like silhouettes appear in front of the lights. These figures were over 3 meters in height and gray in color. The beings appeared to move using huge leaps and strides over the ground. Jumping easily over various obstacles, they seemed to move in slow motion and appeared to move in front of the luminous orbs of lights. According to Tobajas the humanoids stopped briefly by a small creek and seemed to look around and bend down several times. The humanoids suddenly began running towards the witnesses, who terrified, drove frantically away from the area. The tall gray humanoids chased the witness vehicle for several minutes. The main witness apparently encountered similar humanoids a year later at night.

22-year old Carlos Vommaro was returning from dinner at his girlfriend's house and was traveling west bound on Route 22 in his 73 Ford Falcon, as he drove by an irrigation system, common in this farming region, Vommaro noticed a strong glow on the left side of the truck over a field. As he drove on the glow seemed to get stronger, illuminating the surrounding area like daytime. Soon Vommaro noticed an object he described as shaped like an "L" separated by a luminous rectangular form resembling a bright TV screen, the object was now traveling over the road in the same direction that Vommaro was heading. The edge of the luminous "L" seemed to be covered in a diffused vapor that seemed to reflect the light, the diffused glow also surrounded the rectangular shaped screen. Vommaro estimated that the luminous "L" was about 2 meters in height and about 1.75m in width while the luminous rectangle was about 40-50 cm in diameter. Perplexed, Vommaro watched the object as it came paralleled to him about 200 meters away. Vommaro then decided to speed up to about 60mph when suddenly everything around him became dark and he apparently blacked out. When Vommaro woke up he found himself leaning against the steering wheel. The light was now on top of the vehicle, and suddenly from the area of the luminous rectangular TV screen a beam of light shot out, which seemed to spread out in width the further away it got from the screen. The beam of light covers the vehicle, but not its interior; it seems to be stronger at the point of origin. Terrified, Vommaro runs out of the car looking for help but the street is completely deserted. 3 minutes later he sees a car approaching from the direction of General Roca, frantically he signals for the car to stop. The car slows down briefly, but then speeds away again; apparently the driver had seen the hovering luminous object above the road. After coming to his senses Vommaro now realizes he is outside of the town of Cervantes, located more than 15km from his original position and encounter. He checks the car, which appears to be in good condition and drives to the nearby Cervantes police station. He looks back to see the strange luminous object still hovering above the road. Later when Vommaro returned home his dogs strangely did not recognized him and attempted to attack him. The next day he suffered from lack of appetite, weakness, and with lumbar pain.

A man and his fiancée were walking on a narrow wooded trail when they heard what sounded like a bear coming up towards them from the left side of the trail. The mountain had thick underbrush on both sides of the trail, so they were unable to see exactly what it was until it stepped onto the trail approximately 20-30 feet in front of them. They described seeing a large black furred animal that was much larger than a bear, and had a long bushy tail and pointed snout similar to a wolf. When it first appeared on the trail it was walking on all fours. They both noticed a foul odor coming from it and it made their hairs stand on end. At first it seemed the creature was unaware that they were even there, so they stayed completely quiet as the man eased his fiancée behind him in a feeble attempt to protect her in case the thing attacked. When it stepped on the trail it suddenly came to a stop, stood up on his hind legs like a man, and then turned and stared at them. It had small eyes that shone bright neon red. It was about 7 ft tall. It then walked off the very steep side of the mountain to the right of the trail still standing on its hind legs.

She found herself standing in front of a row of houses in New York and she entered one of the houses and went to the 3rd or 5th floor and entered an empty apartment. There she walked over to a window, which was cut open in a circular shape. She then remembers a UFO come down and picking her up. Soon she remembered seeing the earth getting smaller as she left. What she remembers well was that the initial travel feeling or phase had been underground. She also remembered standing on the "first floor" of the UFO, looking around. She saw three human-like persons to his left at the controls, which appeared to have large windows on top. The figures definitely looked human from the back and they were wearing form fitting uniforms. She also saw to his right a single bed and on this bed there was a military blanket, which has always stayed with him in that she thought that it was an important piece of information.

The creature was estimated to have been 2-3 feet wide, around 300 pounds, 5 feet in height and seemed to have a flat face. However, no eyes, ears, or snout could be seen, possibly due to the darkness. The witnesses said the creature tried to jerk their trailer home around, as if trying to push it over. Dave then decided to go out and investigate. When the creature advanced toward him, he became frightened and shot at the creature with his shotgun.

Since it was dark she was carrying a lantern that illuminated her way through the field. The sky was clear and starry. Moments later she watched a large round solid object encased in a soft glow descend slowly towards the ground. The craft was surrounded in a dim red glow that changed to dark blue and orange; the craft emitted a sound similar to that of a "small fan". When the craft landed, Eliete noticed that it was the size of a large truck. Standing about 50 meters from the object she watched an opening become visible on the object and a "cascade" of light descend towards the ground. Moments later three humanoid figures exited the object; she could see that these were two men and a woman that stood next to the object. They were about 1.65m in height, with bronzed slick skin that appeared to be wet; they were hairless and wore tight-fitting white-metallic coveralls. On their chests they had several objects hanging on a vest-like coat. Their movements were similar to humans. Eliete then noticed that the aliens began gesticulating and calling out to her in Portuguese. Approaching the strange trio she asked them what was their point of origin and what was the motive of their visit. The aliens replied that they came from a "better" world but did not specify which one and were here on a peace mission and were here to tell humanity that it was on a destructive path, they also mentioned that there were many of their species already living on earth. During the conversation Eliete felt as if a very cold liquid covered her body. About 15 minutes later the aliens bade farewell quickly returning to their craft, which took off at high speed and vanished. Soon after the encounter Eliete suffered from an uncontrollable crying fit. Her lantern, which was electric, failed to function during the encounter, but worked again when the craft left.

Air defense radars tracked four UFOs over the region then a fourth UFO appeared and then it disappeared. Several Migs were deployed in the direction of the UFOs and one of the pilots opened fired on a disc apparently hitting it with several rockets. The UFO apparently was shot down. A special helicopter search party was organized; they carried special 12-men contingents carrying special equipment. The men wore special suits and oxygen cylinders. Apparently a high amount of radiation was found at the crash site. The object was described as a huge disc-shaped craft with a crack in the middle of a diameter of about 26 meters and a height of 5 meters with a gentle sloping cupola. Fragments of devices were found without the least sign of anything resembling wire, printed circuitry or bracing struts. An opaque glass like material was found. Some type of ornamental inscription was also found inside the craft. Inside two small dwarf-like bodies were found. The bodies were transported from the area in special containers and the craft was transported to Sverdlovsk and taken to a military airfield south from the airport. There the disk was studied for 15 days and later it was transported by helicopter to an area in Moscow. Local residents observed the crash of the disc and the work of the retrieval party.

19-year old Luis Vital Carneiro was returning home after visiting friends during a powerful electrical storm in the region. Entering a gated field he first noticed a strange light cavorting over the area, and then about 50 meters away near a barbwire fence he noticed two short humanoid figures. Curious he jumped the fence and approached the figures. At a distance of ten meters from the humanoids he noticed that they projected a bright white light from the top of their heads downwards to the ground. The white light suddenly changed to red and the two figures suddenly disappeared to then re-appear 30 meters from the road. As Carneiro attempted to jump the barbwire fence again, a beam of light that knocked him senseless struck him. Regaining his composure Carneiro ran to his aunt's house nearby and alerted her. Mrs Orialis De Los Santos (his aunt) stepped out into the garden where she saw on the nearby field a group of about four humanoids that seemed to quickly glide back an forth above the ground. Accompanied by Vital they both counted a total of thirteen humanoids that "glided" about in different directions, within an area of about 100 square meters. For almost an hour the witnesses watched the strange humanoids cavort around as if playing. Vital Carneiro again attempted to approach one of the humanoids but again was knocked down by a beam of red light that seemed to originate from the creature's head. He fell to the ground feeling as he had been struck by lighting. Concerned for his safety, Mrs De Los Santos ran to her stricken nephew and dragged him inside the house. From inside the house they both could still see the short humanoids gliding about, plus at about 500 meters away, behind some trees, a large bright silvery light that appeared to be on the ground or rising slowly up and down. The witnesses described the humanoids as 60cm in height, with very large heads, triangular faces, large pointed ears, and rounded eyes. Their bodies were small and "rectangular" in shape. They wore a kind of gray uniform and a rounded cap from where the beams of light originated. They seemed to communicate amongst each other in quick bursts of "buzzing sounds." They glided quickly about the grounds and according to Mrs De Los Santos they stood on small rounded platforms, however Carneiro does not remember seeing the platforms.

The witness got out of the car to check under the hood, when he suddenly felt a chilling breeze at his feet. He then looked up and saw a very tall gesticulating being. He ran towards his car then saw another similar being. Both humanoids were wearing shiny black divers suits, they then approached the witness. He described them as seven-foot tall, with webbed hands, protruding mouths, long pointed ears, and almost no hair. Their eyes were hollow and no nose was visible. Their faces resembled that of a skull. The beings moved their lips but did not speak. One of them took the witness hand with both of its cold hands and the witness then began to feel weak and dizzy. He then fainted and later found himself 1/2 mile away from where he had been originally, and somewhat confused.

The witness stepped back and suddenly a huge man-like figure materialized in front of her. The figure was about seven-foot tall, very pale and with large dark slanted eyes. He was wearing a tunic like garment with a hood all in white. Only his face and hands were visible. The witness felt a mental message telling her not to be afraid. She was told to watch as the being pointed at this chest, there a television like screen became visible. She then heard another message that stated, "You are destroying this garden and is not yours." She then saw horrible scenes of devastation and death, including earthquakes and fires. The witness at this point knelt down and begged forgiveness for all humanity. The being then moved his head and vanished. At the same time the small shiny disc shot away into the sky and disappeared.

From a dome on top of the object an "escalator" descended to the ground then a human like figure came out and descended to the ground and stood next to the object. Two more similar figures came out and walked towards the witness. He described them as totally human in appearance, very pale, eyes slightly larger than normal and about 1.60 meters in height. They wore light colored combination outfits. The beings began speaking among themselves, saying: "What are we doing here?" the witness overheard them, (apparently the beings spoke in French) and started to explain that he was cultivating mushrooms, asking them if they wanted some. They replied, "Yes." Then the witness led them into the caves, and took a wooden tray containing several mushrooms, which he offered them. But the leader said he only wanted one piece. As soon as that single mushroom was placed in his hand, they all turned away and reboarded their machine, which took off and disappeared in the direction of Holland. The local gendarmerie was alerted, and interrogated the witness. The same day, in the afternoon, the witness received 2 visitors in blue military uniform (Belgian Air Force?) who were speaking French with a Liege accent. After listening to his story, they then warned him "that he would be better off if he not seen anything."

Two friends and amateur alpinists were resting at a tourist base located in the Azau Glade in the Caucasian Mountains, when they decided to take a walk on Mount Elbrus, without telling the rest of the people in the party. They used the hanging rope bridge and reached the "Mir" station at an altitude of 3500 meters above sea level. The distance left to the summit of Elbrus was 2 kilometers. But the men had decided not to climb to the top and had opted in going to another destination point called "Shelter Eleven" where friends from Leningrad were present. But only one of the men reached "Shelter Eleven" with the hairs on his head turned ashen gray apparently from shock. He told a harrowing and unbelievable story on how his friend had vanished before his eyes. They had reached an area at about 300 meters below "Shelter Eleven" when they saw several strange humanoid figures standing near a similarly strange barrel-shaped object that the men took for an alpinist's cabin. His friend was walking slower and was lagging behind and when he turned around to call his friend he saw an amazing sight, which caused his hair to turn white from shock. His friend suddenly began to curve and stretch as if made out of rubber, becoming extremely thin and swiftly stretching upwards. In a fraction of a second everything vanished, including the strange humanoid figures and the barrel-shaped object. The alpinist rushed to the location to help his friend only to find his climbing axe stuck into the dense snow. Footprints from his lost friend were visible on the snow and suddenly stop in mid stride.

Valeriano Verdugo accompanied by his wife and young son were traveling by truck along an isolated stretch of highway when they noticed a strange man on the side of the road that appeared to be hitching a ride. The man wore a large straw hat, large white gloves and was carrying a "very modern" briefcase, the type never seen before by the witnesses. The man was described as about 40-years old, short, well built and wearing a dark coat. The witness was somewhat perplexed as to the reason why he had stopped to pick up the man, somehow he felt compelled to do so. The stranger sat in the vehicle and took off his hat. During the trip he engaged in conversation, bringing up different topics. When questioned, his answers were short and evasive. Verdugo felt nervous during the trip but was not frightened. During the entire journey, three unexplained red-yellow lights appeared to pace the witness's truck. These lights apparently disappeared the moment the stranger exited the truck. At one point Verdugo attempted to bring up the subject of UFOs in the conversation, but the stranger seemed disinterested and denied any knowledge of the subject. The stranger finally asked to be let out in a wooded area near a little town called La Reforma. The area was completely desolate and wooded. Later as Verdugo stopped for a barbeque further down the road he saw the same red-yellow lights disappear in the distance towards the south.

He then looked out the kitchen window. Outside he saw two peculiar looking tall figures, they appeared young and had beautiful facial features. One seemed to be a male the other a female. They had short very black curly hair and pale skin and resembled each other. They both wore lead gray tight fitting outfits. Both were extremely muscular and well built. Strangely, they had what appeared to be a big deep cicatrized wound running up vertically on their foreheads giving the impression of having a "third eye".

45-year old Antonio Gerardo D'Amico was on his way back home after a meeting. Near the intersection of Firmat & Ituzaingo streets something made him look up. Standing in front of a wall of the local coat-hanger factory he saw two humanoids about 1.10m in height. D'Amico stopped and under the light of a nearby streetlight he was able to observe some of the details of the humanoids. The humanoids wore "Roman type" helmets and boots. They also wore tight fitting diver's suits. Their bodies appeared to be extremely athletic. The suits appeared to be luminous in nature, one silvery, and the other with a pinkish tone. He could not see any mouths or noses, but their eyes were large and slanted. They stood under a window staring at the witness. D'Amico moved towards a nearby large tree. At this point the being wearing the silvery suit moved also. The witness then felt a strong discomfort in his eyes and began walking away rapidly from the area. He turned around and noticed that the two beings were now following him, the one in the silvery outfit ahead of the other. D'Amico then noticed a parked vehicle with its lights on nearby and walked towards it, hoping somebody might be inside. He looked back again and noticed that the two beings were not nowhere in sight. D'Amico was somewhat surprised since they had nowhere to go. They seemed to have vanished in plain sight. The witness's eyes were extremely inflamed and red afterwards and he also felt extremely thirsty afterwards.

The 23-year old witness was walking long the Thames heading back home when he noticed what at first he thought was a meteorite trailing across the sky heading east to west with a small tail behind it. It then changed direction heading north to south going at an incredible speed. It then slowed down and seemed to come to descend and land not far from the witness location. He ran up the hill thinking that an aircraft had crashed. As he reached the site his memory appears to have become clouded, he does remember seeing four 5'7" humanoids moving very quickly around a landed object. His next memory was of standing with one leg on the tiles of the roof of the house next door and the other leg on the window ledge of his bedroom, the window was open and he climbed in going straight to the kitchen. He does not remember much of what occurred but did find stranger marks on the back of his legs and in the base of his skull.

Vladimir Pavlovich Bogachev, had back in August of 1979 had encountered a bizarre invisible barrier in a field near his home. Earlier on this date he had been sitting outside with his young daughter when both heard a loud helicopter like sound over the nearby trees, they did not see anything. Later on as he was walking along a field near the village, he again encountered the invisible barrier and became tired and his throat became dry. He sat down on a clearing and suddenly heard a loud pitch voice in Russian, "Do you want to see girls"! it exclaimed. Looking up he saw a very tall man-like figure wearing what appeared to be a heavy monk like outfit. The figure smiled at Bogachev and he stood up. At this point the humanoid began to disappear before his eyes, first becoming vertical stripes and then completely vanishing. Moments later the humanoid reappeared again, this time wearing what appeared to be a tight-fitting shiny "spacesuit" green in color. The suit covered him completely except for his head. The stranger was heavy set with European features. He had a pointy chin and high cheekbones and what appeared to be scraggly beard. He repeated his original questions about the girls and disappeared again. In his place the witness could now see a meadow-like panorama, blue and white in color, resembling a rectangular screen. On the low cut grass there were a group of lovely girls, wearing white thin fabric like clothing and headgear. They had beautiful long black hair and were barefooted. Their skin was snow white in color and all had wonderful proportionate and voluptuous bodies. They somehow resembled Japanese girls but with European features, about 17-year of age. One of them spoke in a melodious but incomprehensible language. The witness then heard a hissing sound and the scene vanished. A fog came over him and he seemed to loose consciousness. He soon found himself entering an object with white linoleum like walls. On a wall hung a poster, similar to a hand painted drawing; on it there was a picture of a five pointed star. To the right of the room he saw large green curtains that led to a larger room. Behind the curtains he encountered two apparatus like devices and a table in the center and what appeared to be comfortable sofas on each side. On the ceiling there was a round fixture with a bright light. In this room he saw a very tall man, about 2 meters in height, with short black hair on each side and bald on top, wearing a narrow trouser with a belt and a short sleeve striped shirt, brown in color. On the right stood another man wearing gray clothing that completely ignored the witness. The tall alien spoke to Bogachev, asking him what he feared most, the witness immediately answered, "A nuclear war". The aliens promised to become involved in the affairs of men and to prevent a catastrophe. After promising to contact the local scientific community Bogachev was deposited back on the same field. Apparently he did not see the aliens again.

The night before (June 27 1980) members of the Carelli family were already in bed as a result of the intense cold temperatures when one of the members, "Malvina" heard noises coming from outside her window. She woke up Mrs Carelli and both heard what appeared to be "slow moving heavy footfalls" coming from the patio stairwell and later on the terrace area. Minutes later Malvina saw a strong light moving outside the window, that shone right through the bedroom curtains, Mrs Carelli also observed the light. They did not go outside to investigate. In the morning of the 28th Mrs Carelli was outside hanging some laundry and noticed that it was very cold, her pet dog "Esteban" accompanied her. As she worked she noticed, about 20 meters away a woman that was accompanied by two children. The two children, described as blond and wearing very light clothing in relation to the weather, were playing around a huge cactus plant. The woman wore a tight-fitting brown colored outfit, again kind of light for the weather. She had long blond-platinum hair and large beautiful penetrating, blue-green eyes. She approached the stranger and warned her about the dog, but the woman seemed unconcerned and said, "he will not bite us." The witness further describes the woman as very delicate and "beautiful", with a lean voluptuous body. Mrs Carelli then asked the woman if she was cold, but she replied in the negative. Moments later Mrs Carelli, a little perplexed, walked back into the kitchen; from that vantage point she no longer could see the strange woman and the children. An hour later Malvina went outside to check and saw the woman, this time breastfeeding a baby, and sitting next to the cactus while the two other children remained playing nearby. There was no obvious mode of transportation around (vehicles, etc). Malvina approached and also spoke to the woman, which looked at her with the penetrating eyes n a somewhat disdainful stare. The dog walked around the strangers, barking but did not dare approach. (The dog was later seen in the kitchen area and apparently disappeared later, and was never seen in the area again). On that same morning at a nearby sports field witnesses found strange tracks on the ground resembling an isosceles triangle. Also, mysteriously, the water level from the sports pool had inexplicably substantially decreased.
