1997 HUMANOID REPORTS Compiled by Albert Rosales

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Ephesians 6:12

The new millennium was approaching; the so-called “Chupacabra” epidemic was ebbing. But it was not gone; it swept through Brazil and parts of the America Northwest like wildfire with numerous high strangeness reports describing bizarre creatures. 1997 ushered in a sort of normalcy. High strangeness reports still trickled in, but nothing compared to the madness of 1995 and 1996. There was a noticeable slow down of reports picking up again towards the end of the year ending with a sort of “Bang” taken into account the Kenwick Australia report. 1997 ushered in 1998, which was even calmer and kind of boring. But it was like a calm before the storm of 2000, which suddenly shot up with bizarre encounters, especially from South America and more specifically Chile.

J L was driving his motorcycle near the town when he observed a dark human-like silhouette standing by the side of the road. The figure was very tall, at least 2.5 meters in height. Once he drove by the figure he stopped his motorcycle, and concerned looked back at the figure. As he stared at the figure it suddenly vanished in plain sight. He then drove away, but the figure appeared one more time at the side of the road, but this time he kept on driving and did not stop.

The witness (involved in other encounters) recalls that he was sleeping in his bed facing the wall when he woke up to the sound of rustling in the room. He opened his eyes, turned around, and saw the silhouette of a small figure in the doorway. It was very small, with a disproportionately large head and long arms. As he watched, the visitor stepped back and walked away down the hallway. The witness felt very calm, despite this intrusion.

Two men, M. Yumtsov and P. Stepashin were traveling by car in the area when they suddenly saw a bright light descending directly over them. Both men seem to loose consciousness. Soon Yumtsov regained consciousness and saw his partner apparently sleeping leaning against the door. He was surprised to see his speedometer reading 80km per hour; he felt no sensation of movement. In front of the car hovered a luminous sphere. He watched as several diffused figures descended from the sphere on what appeared to be bright threads. One of the figures floated up to the front windshield of the car and began to make hand signals, as if suggesting Yumtsov to open the door. The witness wanted to open the door but suddenly became very frightened and remained still. The figure appeared not to have a face; instead of eyes or a mouth it had slight indentations. When the witness refused to open the door, the humanoid apparently became terribly angered and emitted a shrill whistling scream, almost bursting out Yumtsov’s eardrums. The figure approached the windshield further and somehow managed to insert several silvery threads into the car. The threads grabbed on to the sleeping Stepashin’s arm and encircled and then began to pull him. Terrified Yumtsov suddenly applied the brakes this somehow caused the bizarre figure at the windshield to float back and retrieve the silvery threads thus releasing Stepashin. The luminous sphere then also disappeared. At this point Stepashin woke up not knowing what had occurred; he did find several bruises around his wrists. Also several dents were found on the car’s hood. The two men were so terrified that they remained parked on the side of the road the rest of the night.

On a dark night Kyle Keatts was wandering about in the woods near his home when something caught his eye near the chicken coop, which was near a barbed wired fence, and beyond that for several miles were some cows and other farm animals. He remembered seeing two red eyes that stuck out from out of the darkness near the ground, he then approached it in order to obtain a better look. He remembered looking at the protruding, oval-shaped eyes, which appeared to have a black slit through them, like a cat’s eyes. It looked back at the Keatts and he perceived a sense of danger and became frightened, and ran towards his house yelling for his father to come out. His father ran out and saw what appeared to be a 3-4 foot tall animal running upright on its legs, and its legs looked like that of a kangaroo, but it did not hop, it just ran very fast. In the light of the light pole they saw that the creature was black with scaly-looking skin with what looked like spikes running down its back. A neighbor had reported that an unknown predator had slaughtered 10-15 of her chickens.

While working in a shopping center the witness (involved in other encounters) she noticed a woman who had a certain air about her and as she watched her she seemed to be gliding along above the floor. The woman came to her desk and she noticed that this woman’s irises were a pale gray color and her pupils were elongated from top to bottom rather than the usual round shape. She couldn’t keep her own eyes off the woman’s eyes and felt quite mesmerized by watching her. She knew she was asked a question but can’t remember what it was or what she answered. She thought to herself “what planet are you from”? And with that the woman quickly moved off and disappeared. She described the strange woman as having un-styled hair that was just to her ears, fairly straight and a mousy brown color. She wore a cardigan done up to the top button and the dress seemed to just hang on her. She didn’t seem to be dressed for the times but more like in her grandmother’s days. She carried an old fashioned handbag over her arm. The witness has experienced strange dreams in which she has found herself getting out of a ship and meeting a young man about 20 years old with tight curly hair, plaid trousers and a very tight-fitting jumper. She accompanied the young man on a dinghy like boat into a floating craft, on the top of the craft there was a gray type alien that appeared to be steering it. He wore a tight-fitting gray suit with an emblem on one side. She saw a craft with transparent walls and people walking inside, she thought these people were “workers”.

At 1900 it was reported that while several families attempted to watch television the program suddenly became grainy and then a clear image of a man appeared. He was dressed in a bright suit, and read what appeared to be a message on a sheet of paper. However the audio defective and whatever little was heard was in an unknown language.

He wore a green beret and had reddish blond hair. He had sort of a pleasant blank expression on his face. The whole time the witness saw him; he was standing in the “at ease” position. The witness eventually lost sight of the young man. She was convinced that he was somehow connected with the strange ball of light seen at the hotel.

Two 12-year old boys, Peter & Steven, had silently sneaked out of their homes as their parents slept, & had gone to a nearby storage yard to play for awhile. Soon they headed home taking a short cut through a large equipment yard, sliding underneath the chain link fence. Halfway through the lot they noticed a very large shiny white box on the ground. As they passed it hey heard a “thump” like noise. Right after that came a “popping” sound. They moved on to see a series of lights, red, blue, green reflecting from some nearby equipment. Unable to determine their source they crossed the yard, at this point reaching a dark area of the property. They then heard a lengthy high-pitched modulating screech that made their hair stand up. Whirling around they saw, three small “pink figures” walking rapidly between some items of equipment, quickly becoming lost from view. The being had no sign of a buttocks cleavage, nor visible evidence of knee joints or fingers. During the whole encounter it was very warm. At this point a maroon van suddenly roared around the corner and came to a skidding halt near the boys. Its headlights illuminated the boys & its bald headed driver remained inside the van. Very frightened at this point the boys ran out of the property vaulting over the chain link fence. They felt extremely thirsty upon arriving home.

Four days after encountering a UFO William Shearer had come home from work, and was trying to get some sleep, his wife and daughter had stepped out. He came downstairs for a drink, and thought he heard a faint knock on the door. As Shearer approached the door he could see the outline of a tall man through the glass. Shearer opened the door and was faced with a strange sight. The man was around 6’4″, and dressed in a dark gray suit and full-length coat. He wore a brilliant white shirt and a red tie, and was holding a brimmed hat. Another similarly dressed man was standing behind Shearer’s wife car, and appeared to be looking up and down the road, as if to see if anyone was coming. The tall man said, “Can I speak to you please?” His voice was very deep, and seemed to be coming from his chest rather than his mouth. At this stage the man’s gaze was lowered to the floor so Shearer could not see his face. Thinking they were Jehovah’s Witnesses, Shearer replied, “No, I am not dressed”. The man persisted, and asked again to speak to Shearer who again declined and asked him to come back later. When the man lifted his head and looked straight at Shearer his first impression was that the man was very ill, as he looked deathly pale. In contrast his lips seemed to tinged red, as if he were wearing lipstick. The stranger insisted in coming in, but Shearer held his ground. The two strangers kept looking at each other, either nodding or gesturing in some way. The men then walked towards their car, which was black and according to Shearer it looked like something straight out of a gangster movie, yet it looked brand new. Shearer noticed that the men walked awkwardly and appeared to have no facial hair. He also received a later visit.

The witness, Angie, suddenly woke up with a start and realized that the only part of her body she could move was her eyes. Disbelievingly she stared into the gloom of her bedroom at a small hunched figure, about 3 ft tall that stood by her bed. The witness was terrified and could not move. As she continued to stare at the creature it moved suddenly emitting a strong smell of “burnt cardboard or paper.” It leant over her and as it did so the witness hear telepathically in her head mechanical sounding words “Gran says do it in the morning.” With that the small entity vanished, leaving a heavy odor of burnt paper in the room, and Angie discovered she could move normally again. After having slept like a log for several hours, she woke refreshed, recalling the strange event with great clarity. She was in no doubt about the meaning of those cryptic words. Her much beloved grandmother had died just two weeks previously, and Angie’s grief had prevented her from applying from her “dream job”, as nanny for a family in Edinburgh. She felt as though her grandmother had sent her a message.

She shined her flashlight out the window, and saw what she described as a “weirdo” creature. It had large red eyes that reflected the light when the flashlight hit them. The creature then covered its eyes with its arms crossed, and screeched. It appeared to rub its eyes as if to get its sight back. She noted that the creature was about 4 ft tall, green, scaly, and had claws on its four fingered hands. She honked the horn, which caused the creature to run away, she then noticed that it had several long green “spines” which hung off its back.

The witness was returning home by car when he noticed something unusual in his headlights in the distance on the right hand side of the road, on a footpath about 80 meters away. It resembled the figures of two children playing on the footpath, which was very unusual given the time. As the witness approached it became obvious that what the witness thought were children were not. There were two featureless, long, hunched, stick-like figures about 4 ft tall in height. They had long skinny arms stretching to the ground, long skinny legs and a very skinny body, which looked no wider than 20cm in diameter. They had no facial features and appeared to be wearing a dark one-piece body suit, black in color, which covered their whole bodies including their heads. As the car of the witness closed in to about 15 meters, the witness noticed that they appeared to become frightened upon seeing the vehicle. At that instant they scurried across in front of the car at great speed. The witness became scared realizing that what he had seen had been totally alien in nature. He accelerated looking into the rearview mirror noticing that the figures had crossed into the front yard of a house on the opposite side of the street. Shaken, the witness sped home and spent a sleepless night pondering over what had occurred. The next day the witness returned to the area to check around but noted nothing untoward.

Local farmer Heliodoro Nunez was tending his sheep in an isolated pasture, when suddenly his dog began to bark. Looking back he saw three 10-foot tall entities wearing strange conical headgear. The beings appeared shiny and seemed to change colors at all times. Upon seeing these he began to pray. Apparently he did not see the entities depart. Others saw strange lights over the pasture.

A 50-year old grandmother was sleeping with her grandchildren in a room and had left several lights on to comfort them. She awoke suddenly and noticed that the lights were turned off. Her eyes slowly accustomed to the dark and she felt a presence in the room. She then saw two short figures standing near her bed. She attempted to contact them, by using telepathy, pleading to go with them if they left the children alone. The beings did not answer her plea. She was then startled as one of the beings moved aggressively and grabbed her. She jumped up and punched the being on the face, his skin felt like hard plastic, she struggled further grabbing the figure by the throat, the neck appeared horribly wrinkled. The being was about 5-feet tall and thin. She then bit the being; she said it felt like biting a cold piece of ham. After a few minutes of struggling the being dropped to the floor. At this time a third figure appeared in the room, then the two standing aliens moved towards her. One brushed against her face and grabbed her wrist; this one seemed stronger than the first. She then suddenly passed out. Upon regaining consciousness the figures were gone. The children had been apparently unharmed. She suffered from a severe headache afterwards and found three puncture wounds on her neck.

Riccardo, while fishing alone by the River Livenza suddenly felt a presence behind him, turning around he saw a bizarre humanoid figure somewhat similar to a man. The humanoid was about 1.30 meters in height with an oval shaped head lacking a mouth, nose or ears. It had two large black oval shaped eyes covered with some form of retina similar to cobweb. Riccardo approached the humanoid and touched its skin. The humanoid’s body was covered in a fine gray fur similar to that of an “astrakhan” rug. Its arms were disproportionately long as compared to the rest of the body and its hands were dark gray in color with three long pointy digits that ended in pink colored tips. Its feet were identical to the hands. The humanoid lacked elbows or knees and no sexual organs were apparent. It slowly approached Riccardo touching his forehead with one of its hands. At this point Riccardo felt as he had gone into some kind of psychic or telepathic contact with the humanoid. Suddenly a strange mist began to form around them and out of a mist a metallic landed object appeared. Riccardo was then taken inside the craft and shown around for about five minutes and then was deposited back on the riverside.

Geraldine McNeill was out walking her dog on the sloping ground above Lornshill Academy on the outskirts of the city when her black Labrador started whining with fear and stopped. The dog simply refused to go any further. Looking around Geraldine spotted a strong beam of light shining through a row of trees directly ahead of her. It seemed to be pulsating “on a regular rhythm” and at the same time changing color from pale cream through to yellow to deep yellow, and back to cream again. Ms McNeill estimated that the light beam was about 30 ft across. Clearly, a large object must be at the source of the glow. Baffled and concerned, Geraldine decided to call the police and walked over to a nearby phone box. A couple of police officers arrived shortly and Mrs McNeill suggested meeting, at the back of the Academy so they could get the best view of the strange light. However by the time they met up the pulsating light had disappeared and all that could be seen was a pinpoint of light to the right of the original. The two police officers went to investigate as Geraldine watched anxiously. She saw them reach the spot where the light source had been situated and then walk about waving their torches in every direction. After a few minutes they gave up the search and returned down the slope. It was at this point that Ms McNeill noticed a very strange occurrence. At the spot at the top of the slope where the police had been standing seconds before were two odd figures, walking methodically backwards and forwards. When the police officers came back to McNeill they told her that it had only been a burning long, but that they would arrange for a firefighter to arrive. As they spoke the two figures were still clearly visible at the edge of the trees. She pointed out the figures to the two officers. The two young officers seemed taken aback by this and quickly departed, stating that they would have to write up their report. (!) Apparently the two officers had not seen the strange figures.

David Roth and a friend were walking on Centennial Park when suddenly they heard a loud, almost unbearable whirling sound directly above them. As they looked up they were engulfed in a bright white beam of light and were unable to move. They then saw directly above them, no more than 50 feet away, a large silver-disc shaped object with several multi-colored lights around its perimeter and a large light source in the middle of the base emitting a beam. The light and whirling sound increased its intensity and both then apparently lost consciousness. They woke up the next morning in the middle of a field in the park. Their clothes were singed and burns covered their entire bodies. His friend had a strange circular scar on her temple and suffered from amnesia for several days. David’s fingernails on his left hand had fallen off and have not yet grown back. His friend feels like she is being followed and watched, and along with several other friends have seen odd figures moving around her house on several evenings.

Then an orange beam of light suddenly appeared next to him. Several bizarre medium sized creatures then appeared out of the beam. They were described as having only one eye and with large antennae that radiated an odd blue light. They had a strange orifice where their mouth should have been. The creatures emitted intermittent screeches of varying frequencies. The witness apparently understood them in his mind. The creatures then formed a circle around Sudarsky. One of them approached and touched his forehead. He then heard a mental message in perfect Spanish, telling him to guard the planet against pollution, that theirs was almost totally ruined, that there were only 50 of them left. Soon they flew back into the purple light via the orange beam of light. Before leaving, their leader showed Sudarsky a strange communicating device.

On a property outside of Portland, two children (11 & 9) saw a large ball of silver blue light hovering about a meter above a paddock about 30 meters away from the house. The grass beneath the object was “moving and swirling.” The children saw details on the object including something like a “door” and possible appendages. Their mother verified the presence of the object, but she seemed “mesmerized” and kept talking on the phone with a friend, with the children still outside. After 30 minutes the phone cut out. She loaded a gun and went outside, walked around the house to ensure there were no intruders, virtually ignoring the UFO, which was still present. She felt inexplicably tired and just walked passed the children back into the house and lay down and seemingly “blacked out.” She apparently woke up around midnight, showered and went to be, “as if she were in a trance,” without checking on the kids. She woke up in the morning feeling terrified, and found both of the children sleeping peacefully in their beds. She went outside and verified at the spot where the object had been hovering “a strange 12 ft diameter of swirled grass. It was discolored, a strange purple color with brown areas which appeared to be burned or affected by intense heat.” During the next few months there was unusual activity of “unmarked helicopters” in the area. The children began to recollect further details. One of them had 3 strange red spots on a foot. The girl had an unusual “scar” on the back of the neck that could not be accounted for. She also saw a strange “person” outside her window. Under hypnotic regression an apparent abduction milieu was developed, particularly involving the children. No details on that.

At an isolated ranch in Northeastern Utah barking dogs alerted a team of investigators to something lurking in a tree near the ranch house. Tom Gorman grabbed a hunting rifle and took off in his truck toward the tree. Two NIDS staffers followed in another vehicle. Up in the tree branches, they could make out a huge set of yellowish, reptilian eyes. The head of this “animal” had to be three feet wide, they guessed. At the bottom of the tree there was something else. Gorman described it as huge and hairy, with massively muscled front legs and a dog-like head. Gorman who is a crack shot, fired at both figures from a distance of 40 yards. The creature on the ground seemed to vanish. The thing in the tree apparently fell to the ground because Gorman heard it as it landed heavily in the patches of snow below. All three men ran through the pasture and scrub brush, chasing what they thought was a wounded animal, but they never found the animal and saw no blood either. A professional tracker failed to locate anything. At the bottom of the tree, they found and photographed a weird footprint, or rather, a claw print. The print left in the snow was from something large. It had three digits with what they guessed were sharp claws on the end. After analysis, and incredibly, the print closely resembled that of a velociraptor, an extinct dinosaur made famous in the Jurassic Park films.

Giovanni Domenico and his son observed a strange flying figure of humanoid form approaching from a nearby mountain at about 10-12 meters from the ground. They observed the figure for about 10 minutes. They describe it as small and ungainly in appearance, about 1.20 meters in height and was flying at a low rate of speed. It had a large hairless head, disproportional to the rest of its body, which was dark gray in color. Its eyes were large and green in color and the nose was small and a little bit protruding. Its body was thin and delicate and appeared to be wearing a form fitting dark blue suit. The humanoid seemed to be scanning the fields by turning its head slowly to the right and left. The witness noticed something suspended just above the humanoid’s head that rotated like the rotor blades of a helicopter. The strange humanoid disappeared into the distance and was probably seen by other witnesses in the area.

Suddenly he lost control of the car and it increased speed heading west then turning north on Priest Road. He heard the voice again telling him to stop. He stopped the vehicle under some power lines. There he saw only 2 feet off the ground a hovering smooth cylinder shaped craft, the size of a small bus. He was then told to stop investigating UFOs, and was then told about other personal family matters. The object came closer and he felt a strong energy field.

Mark Gallagher was attending the University of Massachusetts and living in the dorms in the Orchard Hill area. One night after falling asleep in the top bunk, his roommate, Aaron slept in the bottom bunk, Mark remembered suddenly waking up sleeping on his back, which he cannot do now. He then saw a being standing at the foot of his bunk. The being looked like a typical gray, steel gray in color, a pointed chin, with large dark eyes that seemed cold and lifeless but were staring directly at Mark. Mark could see its upper torso, and saw it lift a pair of thin arms up. Mark closed his eyes and pulled the comforter over his head and felt himself being lifted out of bed and into the wall behind him. His next memory was of waking up back in bed. He found out a week later that his roommate Aaron, had seen two of the aliens in the room—one floating above and one in the corner who spoke to him, the alien told Aaron, “this doesn’t concern you” and he went back to sleep. The alien spoke to him telepathically. About two weeks after the incident, Mark developed a white spot on the side of his head, and found a scar there, which he had never seen before.

Two sisters were walking near route AO 12 facing a silo factory, when they were startled by the appearance of a diminutive creature, entirely covered in hair and with shiny eyes. The younger of the sisters felt compelled to go towards the entity as if something were overcoming her will. Her older sister shouted at her and seized her arm to keep her from going any closer. The two sisters said that the creature made no hostile gestures upon seeing them, aside from the strange power of attracting one of them. At a given moment the creature made a surprising jump and landed on the other side of the road (over 12 meters), losing itself in the soybean fields. The younger sister suffered a nervous breakdown and was sent to a local hospital. Days later another witness, was in her country home late at night when she felt a strange compulsion to open the door and go outside. She then saw a strange creature; she would later refer to as “a bear” staring fixedly at her at a distance of 20 meters.

There were no footprints visible in the damp ground. That same night he went looking for his missing cow. The vehicle had two powerful search lights that illuminated a creature only 25-30 ft away…it turned and hissed at him, and he noticed that it had reptilian looking eyes, like a snake, only they didn’t reflect the light, like humans.

The 4-year old witness (was able to recall?) remembers something waking him up in the middle of the night, a strange feeling, which he didn’t like. He then noticed a light outside, and first assumed it was aircraft. But then he looked outside and saw a very large light, larger than the moon. Its colors constantly shifted, changing hues every second. Surrounding it were dozens of smaller lights. Through the window he was able to see a strange, “grotesque shape”—the large light was the center of the craft and along with the other lights were a few that were smaller than the large one but bigger than the smaller ones, that outlined the craft. The craft itself seemed teardrop-shaped, yet sprouting from random parts of the craft were long tentacle-like protrusions and they seemed to be coming dangerously close to the ground. The craft had a pointed end. Squinting to see better the witness was able to see miniscule humanoids inside the craft, but before he could see more details, a flash of light broke the calm, and it was the last thing he remembers. He came back to on his bed nearly an hour later, but did not recall falling asleep. A week later, however, stranger markings began appearing on him. They resembled needle marks—only much bigger and much redder. His IQ nearly doubled after the incident, perplexing his doctors. (The witness has experienced other UFO sightings).

Soon the beam reached the floor and seemed to become solid. A male humanoid and two female humanoids then descended out of the beam of light. One of the women was apparently the leader of the group. She approached the witness to within a couple of feet and began telepathic communication with him. The witness reported that she was about 1.7meters in height, with an elongated face, medium sized round dark eyes, and eyebrows that were outlined by narrow arcs, her head was hairless. She wore a tall hat on her head shaped like those wore by Catholic Bishops. Here skin was dense green in color, not shiny. The dress of the alien woman reminded the witness of those old style dresses wore by women, long light-green in color, with a red cloak and a tall light red collar. The claret-colored hat had a yellow “feather” on the front section. Within the feather he saw something crystal-like resembling a diamond. The alien woman was holding a stick shaped like a scepter with a double tip in her right hand. The alien female telepathically informed Igor that her name was Zuri, and that she was from the planet Galeya. She then invited the witness to leave the earth with them in order to decrease his “sufferings”. Igor declined, saying that his relatives would suffer without him. The woman then said that they could cause this to happen in a way that no one would notice and will not even suspect, because they had the ability to incarnate another soul into his body that would replace his departing soul the existence of his body on earth will continue as a bio-robot. Utkin still refused. The contact lasted for about 5 minutes and then the humanoids re-entered the blue beam or energy channel and quickly zoomed up. After that the beam of light vanished. The alien woman reportedly appeared to the witness again the next day (April 24 1997, evening), but quickly vanished.

Comments: I wonder if there have been instances in which witnesses have agreed to travel or leave with the aliens, I suspect so because there has been reports of deaths of humans which have left notes or information behind detailing their contacts with aliens and the fact that they could only travel with then in astral form or with their “souls” or spirits. I suspect that in those instances something has gone wrong, since the body of the human was supposed to remain behind as a cyborg or bio-robot.

Manicurist Maria Vega was returning home from her sister’s house. As she crossed an empty field to reach her house, she ran into a “horrible monster” described as an enormous, swift moving ape that went on all fours and had large red eyes. Despite of its simian appearance, Maria likened it to a colossal dog that reeked of carrion. It towered over the woman when it stood before her on two legs. Apparent confirmation to Maria’s sighting came from Irene Rodrigues do Mata, who would also describe the entity as a giant dog. A local night watchman, Luis Carlos, claimed having seen the aberration five times during the same night. He claimed that the creature had killed two cows. Dead dogs had also been found in the area.

Seconds later the witness woke up in an oval-shaped room with two windows and several doors. Everything in the room was dark and shadowy. Suddenly three giant humanoid figures approached the witness. He was then carried by them and placed on a large table. There he was covered in a strange gooey, smelly substance and examined several times by the humanoids. The humanoids were over 3 meters in height and moved in quick burst of speed, their skin appeared to be green-brown in color. Their teeth were sharp and fang-like and their hands had only three digits. The feet were long and ended in spur-like protrusions. Soon he found himself in his friend’s house feeling extremely cold. He reported the experience to the police.

At first he thought it could have been a horse until upon closer inspection he noticed that it was some type of creature standing erect. Scared he ran into his vehicle and then returned to the area along a road close to the woods. At this point the creature stepped out of the woods and the witness noticed that it was about 1.60 meters in height and completely covered in reddish-brown hair. The creature then executed a tremendous jump landing in the middle of the road, about two meters away from the car. At this point the humanoid raised his arms and emitted a deafening scream, opening its huge mouth. Inside the red colored mouth the terrified witness saw a row of powerful pointy fangs. The horrified witness maneuvered his vehicle around the creature, revving the car engine at high speed. The sound of the engine apparently spooked the creature, which performing another incredible jump disappeared into the woods. Before the creature disappeared the witness looked back to see a pair of powerful and clawed hands on the creature. The next morning another witness heard strange wailing sounds coming from the same patch of wooded area. Soon numerous domestic pets and animals were found strangely mutilated in the area.

He took his light, one of those million candlepower jobs, and went out, flooding the area with light. He saw a strange creature, with eyes that glowed green in and out of the light. It was almost yellow, three feet tall, about 100 pounds, bipedal, five 2-1/2 foot spines on its back and it was sucking blood out of the dog. It looked at him, then let out a screech, and ran off when the witness yelled at it, concerned about his pet. The dog’s neck was broken, twisted to the back, and had two fang marks, and appeared to be drained of blood. He heard another scream from the distance, and hurriedly put the dogs body in his small RV bathtub, and put ice on it, and got out of there, heading to a local vet. The vet said he knew of no animal that would do that, confirming that the shepherd had been drained of blood, but admitted he had heard of other cases that were similar.

Officer-submariner, Nikolay M. an amateur diver had been diving in shallow water in the bay when he spotted a strange elongated object, shaped like a cucumber. Thinking that it was part of the wreckage of an old vessel, Nikolay tied a rope around the object and tried to pull it to the surface. However he was not successful and decided to attach some slings to the strange “cucumber” and connect it to his automobile bumper to pull the thing out of the bay. He came to the surface and obtained the necessary equipment in order to perform that task. He brought a pneumatic drill with him for the purpose to drill holes on the object and attach the slings. Nikolay descended to the bottom again and attempted to drill the holes on the object. Suddenly a stream of dark liquid resembling oil spewed out of the object hitting him on the face. But instead of switching off the drill Nikolay increased its air pressure in an attempt to make the hole deeper. He heard a loud crunch within the “cucumber” and noticed a blood like substance in the water. The object suddenly then split in half revealing a large cavity inside, from it a large dull bubble floated out. At this moment Nikolay encountered a strange entity, apparently human-like with unnaturally white skin and what appeared to be a wound on his back caused by the drill, the wound appeared to be bleeding. The entity’s face was distorted by pain and anger. The entity looked at Nikolay with an immovable hypnotic glance, soundlessly opening and closing his mouth. The witness attempted to push away the cucumber-shaped object along with the strange entity, but the entity succeeded in grabbing his hand. The humanoid had clawed fingers, very sharp, which tore into his sleeve and cutting him deeply. Struggling, Nikolay used the drill with his free hand and stabbed the entity directly into the chest. After that Nikolay apparently lost consciousness. He was pulled out of the water and saved but he had lost part of his hand. No traces of the strange humanoid or object were found. Apparently the cucumber-shaped object had been some type of alien “cocoon” which the witness had accidentally stumbled upon.

After completing their task the women intended to return home when suddenly they could no longer move and felt as if some “mysterious force” was preventing them from doing so. The sky turned dark-violet in color and apparently able to move again both women were seized by fear and rushed home. As they passed by a nearby gully, they saw a bright flash in the sky. They looked up and unexpectedly a huge disc-shaped object appeared from behind the treetops at an altitude of about 50 meters. The disk was dark and totally silent. It slowly floated above the startled women. Both screamed simultaneously, “UFO”! And became fearful once again, and quickly ran home. In the village they immediately informed the other locals and a crowd of people rushed to the edge of the forest. But it was already very dark and nothing could be seen at first. Closer to midnight the dogs started howling, looking in the direction of the dark forest. Looking into the darkness, soon the locals noticed silhouettes of humanoid entities coming out of the forest. The distance from the figures was about 300 meters and no details could be yet seen on them. The bravest among the villagers, among them, Nina Alekseevna, someone took a rifle with him. The strange silhouettes continued to approach the villagers, about 150 meters from the group the figures stopped. The dogs were still howling and the villagers also stopped their approach. Now they could clearly see the aliens and described as seeing three of them, dressed in white tight-fitting suits, about 2 meters in height, slender, proportionally built and unearthly beautiful in appearance. However, the villagers did not approach the strangers, after watching the aliens for about 5 minutes the group decided to go home. Immediately after the incident a strange Jell-O-like mass began forming on the leaves of trees in the mornings. After being touched, it melted, apparently as a result of the heat emanated by the human body. It also evaporated under the sunrays.

All she could remember seeing were the faces, no bodies. Her next memory was of lying in bed. She does not recall actually laying down but her next recall was of lying in bed on her right side. Her boyfriend was sleeping soundly no more than 2 inches from her. She could not move, or speak. All she could move were her eyes and she glanced around and was able to see her dog, Mucker who apparently noticed her moving her eyes and started coming down the hallway from the living room. Her dog was very loyal to her so the next move was very unusual. He stopped about 5 ft from the bedroom and would not come any further. Her next memory was of waking up around 0600A-0700A feeling very sick, like she drank a ton of water. When she took out her dog for the morning walk the animal suddenly threw up on the deck. A couple of months later feeling ill she visited doctors who discovered strange bruise marks on both her arms. She also suffered from severe headaches. During this time her dog Mucker (a Boxer) seriously attacked 4 or 5 of the family members (sending one to the hospital) for no known reason. Her cat also came home paralyzed in her hindquarter during this period of time. No known reason was found for that either. Recently the witness has bee suffering from unexplained nosebleeds.

A 27-year old woman named Tatyana, the sister of a well known Russian UFO researcher Pavel Hailov was sleeping in her room. Suddenly she woke up and saw a bright white light above her, emanating from a powerful stream from an unknown source. She soon found herself paralyzed lying on some dense couch unable to move. A bright beam of light was piercing her chest area, causing terrible pain. She felt the stream of light going out her back area. She had to close her eyes as a result of the blinding light and the extreme pain. She then heard voices in her head speaking to each other, “Everything is normal, but it is early”, they said. The voices came from several dark silhouettes that she could barely see through the slits of her almost totally closed eyes; on the background of the figures there as a blinding white light. She then lost consciousness and the rest of the events were apparently erased from her memory. She woke up in the morning on her bed.

A couple staying at a local motel had been out most of the night looking for UFOs at a local hot spot and were now resting. Suddenly the wife woke up with a strange metallic taste in her mouth. The husband nudged her and pointed out two figures standing by the window. One of the figures was holding a small black box in its right hand and was pointing it at the couple. They sensed that the box was used to put them in a trance like state. The figures were described as about 6-feet tall, slender built, and were wearing robes. No facial features could be seen.

During a dance at a local club, security guard Rogerio Lascoski noticed a figure that suddenly appeared in the dance floor (no one saw the stranger come in). The figure moved in bizarre synchronized movements in the middle of the dance floor. It was described as very a very thin humanoid and appeared to be dragging its feet when it moved. As Rogerio approached the figure he noticed that it wore a beige colored outfit that seemed to wrap around its body. It resembled a very dark woman, about 1.5 meters in height, large dark eyes, with no whites and a small nose. Thinking that it was some type of vagrant Rogerio threatened to call the police but the stranger ignored him. The visitor then walked out followed by the witness that heard a phrase in his mind to the effect of “I come from God.” The figure then walked to a nearby curve at the end of the street and was joined by two more similar figures. They stood one on each side of the first one then walked into the darkness again using strange synchronized movements. At the club, a lot of those present expressed their concern and disbelief as to the strange visitor. Incredibly some of those present did not see the figure at all.

It then descended lower and hovered over some nearby trees across from him, at this point the witness noticed that it was a saucer shaped craft. Through lighted windows he could see beings that looked like children with large heads peering at him. The witness attempted to run but suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. He spun around to face a little man with big black eyes and gray skin. Paralyzed with fear he head the being speak to him in apparent English.

Phillip H Krapf awoke in the middle of the night and found himself encased in a luminous shaft of light, then involuntarily beamed aboard an alien spacecraft. Within a matter of seconds, he was standing before the strangest creatures he had ever seen, though not so different from depictions of alien beings that others have given. They were just over five feet tall, with dark, narrow eyes, nearly imperceptible noses, no visible body hair, and skin tones from grayish white to slightly tan. They were wearing satiny robes of varying muted colors. They spoke to Krapf in English even though their thin lips didn’t move. During the whole experience the witness felt at peace and fully alert. These aliens called themselves “The Verdants”, and claimed they come from a planet some 14 million light-years from Earth (the name of their planet apparently translates into “Verdant” in English, which the witness interpreted to mean something akin to “garden planet). They said that they had been recruiting hundreds of humans to serve as liaisons for an impending summit conference between representatives of the two species. Krapf spent most of his waking hours on the ship being briefed by the Verdants in orientation sessions. During his stay, he had a personal tour guide and attendant who went by the name of Gina. The other key figure among the Verdants with whom he had contact was using the name “Gus”. These names were adopted for his benefit because he was incapable of addressing them by their real names in their native tongue. He learned in the orientation sessions that the Verdants have been space explorers for millions of years. Apparently they belonged to a handful of other advanced species to form the Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets. Currently the group has a total of 27,000 species or members in their files. The Verdants also said that they had colonized a great number of formerly uninhabited planets making them more habitable or more hospitable.

Nathalie, a young French woman, was sitting in her car with a companion when both saw in the sky an object that resembled a wheel “without its rim,” it was made of 12 projecting lights revolving counter clockwise. The observation lasted almost 2 hours, and after that they both went to sleep. They seemed to be unable to move during the sighting. Later, under hypnotic regression, Nathalie remembered being lifted through a conical light beam and into a hovering craft. Aboard she was submitted to various medical tests, and apparently implanted. She saw another woman also subjected to the same treatment. She described her abductors as being “very tall”, about 2 meters in height, assisted by a smaller “woman”, some of them looked like humans, some not. In another room, she saw 4 beings sitting on chairs in front of glass panels. Some of the beings were courteous, and others looked rather irritated at her, for whatever reason. The beings appeared to be well built, with huge strong shoulders. Their heads were larger than humans and oval in shape, with large black slit like eyes. A very curious detail (never before or after reported!) was that they had what appeared to be a plume of hair, tight up like a ponytail, that suck straight up from the top of their baldheads. They wore tight fitting two piece gray colored outfits with belts. In the room she saw windows in front of a corridor, the floor was luminous, apparently made out of glass. She also saw a lozenge shaped table, black in color in the middle of the room.

It was reported that police, military personnel, and American scientists had captured a strange creature using fishing net. The creature was placed in a metal cage, but attempted to escape by moving rapidly back & forth inside of it. It was shot at with several tranquilizer bullets without any apparent effect. A police sniper then shot the creature dead. The scientists present placed the creature in a special box, which was sealed hermetically; it was later placed in a refrigerated truck, which then drove on the nearby city of Londrina. The creature was described as bipedal, about 1.70 meters in height, large protruding reddish eyes. It had pointed ears, which slanted upwards, a flat nose, a small mouth with two protruding canines or fangs. It had what appeared to be “scales” on its sides and a greenish crest that started on the head and ended in the tailbone area. It had three sharp claw pointed forwards in the feet area, and one small one pointed backwards. In the hands it had three very sharp claws.

On a road near this village a witness encountered a large object hovering about 300-400 meters above the ground. It was approximately 16 meters in height, resembling a triangle with a base. When the witness drove closer to the object it shifted and became longer. She felt no fear and a feeling of euphoria came over her. Spontaneously she began to pray. The object radiated a sharp, white light at one end. Incredibly, the witness reported that as she observed the object she suddenly heard a voice in her head of a former friend who had taken his life in 1975, which told her “come visit me, please come”! She was surprised since she had not really thought about her friend in more than 20 years. While she drove on she had a strong internal obligation to drive to the grave of her former colleague. Near the city of Kronach she could not longer resist the inner urge to visit the grave of her friend and drove like a “fury” to the cemetery in Thonberg. In a trance-like state she went directly to the grave. When she stood at the grave she again heard the voice of her dead friend in her head that seemed to be please that she had visited. Afterwards she seemed to relax and drove home.

The witness and his cousin were out in a hunting expedition and were sitting on the side of a wall of a rather large hollow which consisted of very thick underbrush and lots of evergreen and a larger valley leading to first, a clearing and then on to some ancient Indian graveyards. All of the sudden they heard the brush in the hollow bellow them rattling and they could tell that whatever was making the sounds was rather large. The main witness was armed with a Ruger 10-22 rifle with approximately 150 rounds of ammo ready to go. Under his night vision scope he could see what appeared to be a man, but upon further inspection he realized that the “man” was a creature about 7-8 ft tall approximately 450 lbs. It was covered with thick black fur. It was slimmer that the popular Bigfoot image, almost skinny. And it had a neck. Also protruding on either side of its head were long tapered “horns” also black in color. On the top of the head also protruded a horn pointing straight up. All horns were approximately 5-6 inch in length and were the same dark color as the creature. The terrified witness emptied a 25 round clip into the creature and then retreated into a nearby cabin about 65 ft away. The next morning they could not find anything except for lots of spent shell casings and bullet holes on a walnut tree. He thought he had struck the creature several times. Nearby animals traps had been sprung and all the bait extracted. On a nearby ridge the witnesses located a series of tunnels made up of brush and various sizes of tree limbs, vines and leaves. They thought it could have been “the lair of the beast.” Afraid they returned home.

It had large dark eyes and rounded ears extended above the head. It had long arms and a short tail. It was emitting a gurgling sound. The creature appeared to have hair or fur all over its body. It looked at the witness for a few seconds then headed towards a tent on the southern part of the pond. It kind of “skipped” when it moved and appeared to walk on his hind legs while using the “knuckles” on its front arms on the ground. When it reached the tent it again looked at the witness, at this time the dogs starting chasing after it, but the witness called them back. The creature was last seen moving along a barbwire fence.

The figure had a white luminous pearly white body, with a diamond shaped bulbous head; it lacked any nasal openings or mouth. The witness got the impression that he was looking at some sort of mask because it was very smooth. The eyes were a glassy black, but they were not slanted in nature. They were flat on the top and bottom, rounded on the inside edges and wrapped around the sides of the head like sunglasses, or more accurately like a dragonfly’s eyes.

But suddenly as he reached a curve on the road a large circular object flying at a very low altitude confronted him. He estimated the object to have been about 15 meters in diameter. The object then hovered above the witness truck, which had by now slowed down inexplicably. A beam of light suddenly enveloped Acevedo and seemed to drain his energy. The car seemed to move on its own accord, since Acevedo could not even control the steering wheel. The light of the object was reddish in color and in the center it seemed to have a purplish tone. However the beam of light that enveloped Acevedo was very bright white in color.

Five local residents, including a young man named M. Ryapolov, were fishing in a pond between a grove of birches and some cottages with private garden plots near Kashinskaya and Zarechnaya Streets when suddenly they saw a fiery red-yellowish globe flying in the sky. The globe then descended in an inclined trajectory and began to hover low over the ground at an altitude of about one meter. The globe-shaped object appeared approximately to be 3 meters in diameter. The distance from the witnesses and the object was about 40 meters. The globe was smooth, with what appeared to be a horizontal belt consisting of a row of spikes or thorns (each one about 10cm in diameter and 25cm long) were circling its middle section on its even smooth surface. A rectangular shaped door was opened in the lower section of the globe downwards creating a ladder, which was installed in the inner surface of the door. Two humanoids easily stepped out of the globe. Each entity was about 1.9 to 2 meters in height. They were dressed in dull gray black cloth-like tunics, but tighter fitting than those priests wear. The aliens had protruding noses, small ears, and hairless heads. Their skin was light, with round bulging eyes. One alien had red-yellow eyes, the second, lackluster bluish eyes. Both aliens had just slits instead of lips. At first the humanoids moved about as if they were “skating”, but then moved about like normal humans. They walked towards a cottage, several of the witnesses attempted to get closer but Ryapolov dissuaded from doing that. Meanwhile the humanoids were returning from the cottage and were carrying an elderly woman with them. The woman was screaming, “Help me, save me!” and was attempting to resist. When the aliens finally brought her to the craft, she stopped resisting and lost consciousness. The humanoids had been carrying her in a strange matter, elbows pointed to the front. During the ascent into the door of the craft the woman slipped out of one of the humanoid’s hands, but they quickly picked her up and moved her inside the spacecraft. The door immediately closed after that, and the globe-shaped craft zoomed into the sky. After that the witnesses approached the landing site but could not step into as they suddenly experienced cramps, convulsions in their bodies and extremities as if shocked by electricity. This situation was repeated on each attempt within 5 meters of the landing site. It appeared to have a protective field or barrier around it. The humanoids left clear boot prints on the soil.

The witness was walking on busy Wiltshire Blvd, when she looked up, and saw hovering between two buildings a large metallic hat shaped object, with several portholes around its rim. It was completely silent. As the witness stared at the object she felt some type of mental communication from it. Several nights later in a dream like state she remembered being in a round room with windows around it. She could see the skyline of West Los Angeles. She was apparently there with her sister and two nieces. Each of them had an instructor or guide. Her instructor was a very handsome man, with shoulder length blonde hair, about 32 years old, with a bare chest. He was loving, gentle, and kind. He had beautiful skin and smelled wonderful. Apparently she was taught many different things, one of them was that there was no such thing as time that it was a concept that earthlings only believe in and had grown accustomed to it. She remembers going up in the room in a spinning motion. They looked down and could see the San Bernardino Mountains.

The chief of a local children’s health camp, Anatoly Ivanovich K sat exhausted in the porch of the office building after another long fruitless search for his 5-year old son already missing for over 24 hours in the nearby impenetrable forest. Filled with painful thought he rose and retreated to his bedroom. Laying in bed awake the room was suddenly filled with an unexpected bright light from an unknown source. After looking around he could not locate the origin of the light. As he sat down back in bed he felt a presence next to him, after turning his head to the right he saw a bluish circle of light and within it a short gnome-like figure. Stupefied the camp chief watched the fairy tale like character, which he described as resembling an old man with a long white beard, wearing a red sash and a broad white belt with a red cap. The bizarre creature was distinctively visible within the bluish light. The old man smiled politely and greeted the witness and then said, “Your son will arrive tomorrow”. Then he beckoned to the witness with a miniature finger and rapidly walked towards the forest, at all times encased in an eerie bluish light. Despite his atheism Anatoly involuntarily crossed himself and almost unconsciously followed the old gnome-like creature into the forest. After entering the forest he found himself in an impenetrable darkness lit only by the glow around the short gnome. He followed the creature for about half an hour until they reached an impenetrable thicket. The witness, who knew the area very well, felt disoriented and confused, he did not recognize his surroundings. At this point the short gnome had already vanished. The witness was found dazed and shoeless wandering near the office building by camp associates. He had no memory of where he had spend half of the night. Happily his son did show up to the camp the next day, apparently unharmed.

A local young man named Igor V. Kolomiets (involved in other encounters) encountered a strange humanoid figure that suddenly appeared in his bedroom out of thin air. The alien was very tall and was dressed in a black or gray loose-fitting overall. Facial details could not be discerned because it wore a hood or cowl that covered his head completely, and the room was also very dark. But Igor could see a greenish aura emanating from the alien’s body. The alien also radiated fear and the witness was immediately paralyzed, but was able to retain the ability to speak. The witness had been subconsciously ready for the contact and asked the visitor who he was and where he was from. Igor then heard inside his head in a cold, chilly and emotionless voice, “I am a representative of a civilization from the Canum Venaticorum constellation”. Igor was not frightened and began to ask additional questions, he asked, “How old is your civilization?” “Two million years. We are ahead of your civilization by 1000 years” Igor then asked, “Are you part of the Black League” (Apparently a group of negative civilizations from the Constellation Orion and others). The answer was a resounding yes. “What do you want from humans” asked Igor. He answered “We need vital space”. “What do you want from Irina?” (Igor’s friend who had also experienced contacts with a similar entity). The alien answered, “She is a powerful medium. We want her. We will take her soon”. (According to Igor’s claims Irina is actually a reincarnated alien being, by the name of Inzeada). Next the alien stopped answering questions and began speaking in a monologue, “Your civilization disturbs and hampers us. We did not find Irina by accident; we “pushed” her to you, because we are searching for control of you.” The alien paused a minute and then said, “Don’t interfere in the alien or UFO business, or death will await you. You will belong to my race”. After hearing this Igor became upset and yelled at the alien to “go to hell and get out”. At the end the alien transmitted a message in his brain, which the witness wrote in a piece of paper in the morning. It was purportedly a message from his “Government” directly to the witness.

Its legs were scrambling to get a grip and it then leaped or flew to the top of the embankment on the right side of the road. Then it disappeared. The creature was described as about four feet tall and bipedal. Its legs were large and muscular with big thighs. Its feet were round, but the witness did not see if they were clawed or hoofed. It had a narrow waist area with a much larger round chest. It had two slims arms with claws for hands with bat type wings that went from underneath the arms to about the waist area. Its neck was skinny, but the witness did not get to see its head as the sun glare blocked his view. The color of the creature was deep brown with a dark green tone under the wings. It was leathery with no fur and it had no spikes or anything from its spine noticeable.

Confused he stopped the vehicle and noticed that the lights were oval shaped and mercurial in nature. Suddenly a fog-like smoke approached the vehicle causing the witness to become frightened and drive away. Nearby as he drove away he saw “a strange vehicle” on the side of the road and several huge dark humanoid figures that appeared to have no heads milling around it.

A 22-year old man and an 11-year old relative were driving home when the younger one spotted a triangular shaped object in the sky. The craft was about 500 feet away at about 200 feet altitude and seemed to be moving parallel to the road. It appeared to be about 60 feet in length. As the witness drove through a heavily wooded area of hills, deep ravines and winding roads, the craft crossed the road just behind their vehicle and disappeared toward the west. When they turned onto the road leading to their farmhouse, a “strange animal” bumped into the car’s passenger door. It was described as something resembling a snarling hyena, with big red lights in place of eyes and huge teeth offset a short, pointed nose and small ears. The fur was tan, striped, and spotted with black; it had taut, bulging muscles all over its body. Arriving home the witnesses and other family members watched a larger triangular shaped craft moving very slowly at about 300 feet altitude. Then it hovered for 15 minutes before leaving. Since the sighting, the younger boy has had repeated dreams featuring “large heads with no faces”, he felt lots of hands touching him, and he couldn’t move, and he was being carried and laid on a “couch”. The previous night the Sioux City police dept received numerous calls about a hairy Bigfoot type creature in the area of 17th street in the city’s Northside section. On September 19 the man again saw a similar or same creature. The Family has been involved in numerous other bizarre phenomena and other encounters.

June (involved in other encounters) had been visiting a friend and upon leaving noticed a “heavy” darkness. The streetlights seemed diffused and dimmer than normal. As June continued to drive, the streetlights seemed even dimmer. As she approached the traffic light by the railroad crossing on the corner of A1A and Park Ave. in Lake Park three cars stopped at the intersection as though the light were red on both sides. While waiting for the traffic signal, June looked down Park Ave. and saw what appeared to be a tunnel. The streetlights were only pinpricks of light. After a long time the light turned green and June proceeded into the “eye” of the tunnel. The road seemed black and she could not see the street or even the instrument panel on her car. She down shifted and drove slowly. The 15-minute drive from her friend’s house took 45 minutes. June arrived home badly frightened. Later June was hypnotically regressed to the time she was at the intersection where she waited for the light to turn green. June recalled seeing a bright light all around her she was not able to move and did not know where she was. She then found herself in a room with “shadows” all around her, across the room she sees little people looking at her. One is touching her all over. This being was holding something bright—shiny in his hand, about a foot long. It resembled a rod with a light on the end. He puts it in her body as she yells to her to stop; she is still unable to move. There is a very disagreeable odor in the room. The small creature resembles an insect, something like a praying mantis. The room is very cold and has a very bad odor. The being with the rod is further described as about 4 ft tall, with four fingers that he wiggled slowly. He had antennae as well as a beak-like protrusion on his face. The bed in which she was lying on was low and close to the floor. The room was described as curved and platinum in color but with a greenish light that came from the walls, ceiling and floor. She did not remember being hurt by the being. June further remembered that as she drove through the “tunnel” she remembered opening the car door to try to see the centerline on the street, but did not see it. She took her foot off the clutch. She remembered that the car didn’t sway as it normally did and she didn’t feel the road beneath her. The streetlights were dim and tiny. She also had a hard time breathing.

Three men reported that as they stood out in a mountainous area admiring the night sky they watched a glowing green cigar shaped object descend and land on a nearby field. As curiosity overcame fear they walked towards the landing zone. As they approached an opening became visible on the craft and two 6 ft tall creatures, grayish-blue in color and wearing what appeared to be armor-like suits stepped out. At this point two of the men ran away but the third was caught by the creatures and was taken onboard the object. Inside the object he was put into what appeared to be a “cage”. The creatures apparently used telepathy in order to communicate amongst each other but somehow the witness was able to hear their thoughts, as they could hear his. The aliens told the witness that if the humans attempted to capture or injured their kind in any way, they would be forced to retaliate. Upon being asked about their point of origin they told the witness that they came from “beyond 300 million light years away”. Asked how could they travel so far they pointed out that they used the speed of gravity, which was faster then light. After awhile the witness reported that something apparently went terrible wrong onboard the object and that it crash-landed in the mountains outside Lake Lure. At this point he lost consciousness. He woke up about an hour later without finding any signs of wreckage or other visible proof of what had occurred.

It was as if someone had opened a window or doorway. Gorman grabbed his night vision binoculars to get a better look but could hardly believe what he was seeing. The dull light began to resemble a bright portal, and at one end of the portal, a large, black humanoid figure seemed to be struggling to crawl through the tunnel of light. After a few minutes, the humanoid figure wriggled out of the light and took off into the darkness. As it did, the window of light snapped shut, as if someone had flicked the “off” switch. Deetken had the presence of mind to snap a few photos of the event but would later learn that the film had recorded little of what the two men had witnessed.

It never dawned on the witness that he had completely stopped his car in order to look at the creature.

He then saw two almond-shaped blood red eyes that seemed to illuminate out of the black void as they peered at him.

The witness then asked him if she would be brought back. “No” was his answer. She then refused the help proposed by the alien and told him that she had a deaf daughter, which she could not leave. The alien the proposed to take her daughter also but she again refused telling the alien that her daughter had a large family that she would refuse to leave behind. The alien then went out the balcony disappearing into the hovering cigar shaped craft. Her daughter Viktoria Sosedenko also reported anomalous activity in her flat. Apparently she was also confronted by another alien (no details on that).

Several human like extraterrestrials wearing tight-fitting yellowish suits exited the craft and invited him onboard. Inside he felt a shortage of air. He was then given a suit to wear on the breast area there was a plate that apparently regulated the oxygen intake, he was shown how to operate that. While inside the craft the other crewmembers ignored Kirsan. They apparently landed on a planet and the aliens brought in some equipment onboard and quickly returned to Earth.

They again saw the humanoid, which they described as about 90 cm in height, dirty white in color and with very long arms. It had three digit hands that ended in ball shaped tips. Its head was oval shaped devoid of any facial expression, it was pointed at the top and it had a very pointed chin. Its most prominent features were its huge black oval shaped eyes. Its mouth was but a thin line and its nose, two small round holes. Its skin appeared to be gelatinous and was very corrugated. It appeared devoid of any sexual organs. The boys left the scene.

The witness stepped out of her mobile home to get a breath of fresh air on her lattice-enclosed patio. As she did, she saw an object which had either landed or hovered very close to her nearby neighbor’s mobile home roof and was facing her. She could see a large curved window with a thin strip down the middle, and there was a bright spotlight shining from the lower front of the object. No sound was heard. She then noticed a “pilot” with something fitted over his head, like a form fitting mask, which was motionless. She could not distinguish any features. Then, two doors swung open and several small entities exited. She could not see their shapes or how they moved. The bright light was directed at her and she thought she was being watched. Frightened she went back into the house and noticed that the beam of light was now illuminated its interior. The witness continued to watch the object as it moved around the trailer court, occasionally stopping, hovering, and shining its light on various mobile homes.

June (involved in previous encounters) had gone to bed early because she kept falling asleep while lying in her couch watching television. She awoke to find a gray humanoid standing over her in her bedroom. She was trying to fight him off by hitting him, but her hand seemed to be swatting thin air. However she could see her hand go right through the alien’s body. She screamed out loud to him telling him to go away. All the time she kept trying to hit the creature, nothing seemed to work. The alien stayed right beside her. Then suddenly another voice came from out of nowhere and it said, “Go away!” This voice sounded like it was spoken in slow motion. It was very deep and masculine voice. Miraculously the being vanished, she was paralyzed from her waist down. Her brain seemed as if it was drugged. All she wanted to do was go back to sleep, but somehow she knew if she did something terrible would happen. Finally after much struggle she was able to move and sat up in bed. It took several more minutes before she could actually get to her feet and stagger into her living room. She stayed up until 0330A.

The next day Correa was working down in the valley when he “got a feeling” that something was going to happen so he went and got his gun. When he was near the henhouse he saw coming out of a nearby ditch, a dark colored creature that stood and stared at him with its arm raised, the palm open. He could only see the creature from the waist upward, the rest of it being hidden by the vegetation around the ditch. Correa was just at the verge on firing at it when a thought came to him, “Maybe if I fire my revolver the thing will make it explode in my face.” During this moment of hesitation he heard the creature dive back into the ditch again. And then he smelt a powerful odor resembling crush garlic mixed with sulfur. Correa promptly searched the entire ditch and scythed away all the vegetation, but found not the slightest trace of the creature. He described the creature as “ugly” with the top of its head flatter. The eyes were bigger than humans, with yellowish spots on them. The face was wrinkled and the skin was dark. The eyes were big and round and unblinking. It had a short goatee of the same shade as its hair, which was reddish brown. The mouth was half closed, and was very wide and a bit squarish. It had two big, broad, very white teeth.

His next memory was of being awake at 0515A, with a strange presence still in the room, once again he was forced to close his eyelids. He then woke up in the morning and was able to recall standing naked in an oval shaped metal room with small windows in the top right hand corner. Directly behind him there was a large door where the two oval walls met. In the middle of the room there was an odd looking operating table with two needle devices on robotic arms sticking out of the side. This was apparently the only object in the room. Afraid he began banging on the large door, demanding to be let out. He could hear voices in the background in his head. He was then told by an angry male voice in his head to either lay down on the table or someone he loves would get hurt. He did as he was told. He was asked to lay down in such a manner that his left hand lower back was exposed to the two needles like objects. One of the objects had a clear window on it and he could see, some clear liquid inside. At the base of the needle there was a triangle shaped piece of metal and two rectangle designs on both sides of the objects. He was then told by a more friendly female voice that he will feel no pain but would feel his legs go numb and would feel paralyzed and unable to move. Suddenly the robotic arm moved closer to his back and suddenly plunged into his lower left hand side of his back. He felt the clear liquid being pushed into his body. He then felt paralyzed, after a minute the needle began sucking instead of injecting. It then moved back and the second needle then approached and performed the same operation. He woke up the next morning feeling some pain in his lower back with a triangular shaped imprint on it.

The witness, who for more than a month had been seeing, three dimensionally solid but transparent, boomerang shaped objects flying at very low altitudes over her house and yard, had invited investigator Harold Egeln over to discuss the matter. Around 0330A they retired to bed. Soon her 5-year-old daughter abruptly woke up from a sound sleep, frightened by mysterious knocking sounds she heard in her bedroom. She went to sleep again at 0400A, when the witness heard her scream again. She ran to her bedroom nearly colliding with her, apparently the lights in her bedroom kept turning on and off. As the witness reached for the light switch everything turned deep, dark velvet black, there was an apparent power outage in the neighboring area. At this point Harold had woken up and was looking out the window where they noticed a beam of white light that emanated directly from above the house. After several minutes the witness and her daughter went back to bed. Soon a bright white light appeared in the bedroom window, and she noticed that her daughter was fast asleep. Turning back towards the light she was startled to see a tall, thin grayish yellow being, standing beside the bed. She then heard the following words in her head: “I am Dralov, I come as representative of the Sirian Arcturian Coalition for Interplanetary Defense.” The witness felt her body become very light and saw her sleeping daughter being levitated from her bed. In a trance like state they were escorted toward the hallway. In the living room they met Harold. Soon they left the house with a group of people all seemingly human, who waited in the corner, clearly illuminated by a bright white light from above the house. Someone in the crowd waved at Harold, and the three of them were led around the back of the house to a nearby vacant lot where a blue beam of light enveloped them and transported them up to a large craft that hovered just above the roof top. Onboard the craft Harold was surrounded by a group of small “little gray humanoids” who apparently knew him, and he walked off with them smiling. A tall gray being in a silvery white robe took the witness daughter hand and led her away, The witness stood with Dralov, and he pointed to an arched doorway that suddenly became visible as it opened. Telepathically Dralov told the witness that an Elder would like to see her, before the presentation. The Elder was a short being with large blue eyes and a black robe. He sat near a small, half circle table in a white, domed room and gestured for the witness to sit next to him on a white step like seat that protruded from the wall. The Elder touched the witness on her right hand and she noticed that he had a small thumb and three fingers of nearly equal length. He communicated with her telepathically. She was later taken into a large auditorium type room, in a diamond shaped transparent elevator. In the large room she saw other humans, including one that resembled Whitley Strieber (!).

The entities seemed to have had ceramic like skin with no seams or wrinkles. The witness thought they might have been some type of solid form of energy. Most of his glimpses of the humanoids were distorted “like looking at coins in a deep pool of water.” He was unable to discern any facial features, but the beings were humanoid in shape. They had arms and legs but strangely their hands seemed club-like except when they sometimes showed “webbed” digits. On coming outside into his backyard, he saw the outlines of a huge saucer shaped object. It seemed to be hovering above some nearby trees. A portion of the dark craft hung down immediately behind his house. Behind this portion of the craft a light emerged and in an instant the witness and the entities were inside the craft. The interior of the craft was brilliantly lit, and the witness could see humanoids everywhere. He was put on an examination table. He was able to see dozens of other people on similar tables. Machines with long arms, similar to x-ray machines were moving around the tables. A probe thumped his right front calf. He was then flipped over and something thumped his buttocks. A mechanical arm also grabbed the crown of his head. The beings around him seemed to be speaking in a low unintelligible language.

22-year old Duane Berger and a friend Mark were camping in an isolated area and as daylight faded they had build a campfire and were sitting around eating. Soon they began to hear “terrible screams” that seemed to be coming from an old mine nearby. After a few moments of nervous discussions and assessment of the very eerie situation the two young men decided to investigate the matter. Armed with a tire iron the two friends entered the mineshaft. They had walked a dozen yards when they saw a greenish glow ahead of them. As they got closer they could make out the dark figures of two men in hooded robes. It was clear that they intended to block their progress farther into the mine. But as the two young men drew nearer to the light, they noticed that the two figures were barely five ft in height. They then boldly demanded that the hooded figures release the women or whoever they were hurting. Then a deep, mechanical voice boomed out of the cowled figures in unison and told them, “The women are beyond your help! Leave at once or perish! Leave at once—or you shall join them in the caves.” The robed figures then produced some type of wand-like instruments and directed a yellow light at the two young men that held them both immobile. Next, they aimed a greenish beam against a wall of the mineshaft. The wall of solid rock seemed to melt away, allowing them to walk into the wall and disappear. Within seconds, the wall was once again nothing but hard rock. After a few moments the two men were able to move again and fled the area quickly, knowing that there was nothing they could do to help whoever was being detained in the caves.

The two witnesses were driving through a very isolated area just past the Yanchep National Park and had the high beams on since it was a very dark & cold night. Suddenly the witnesses had to come to a an abrupt stop when a kangaroo jumped into the street right in front of their vehicle, it then scurried away. As they were getting ready to drive away both heard a pig-like squeal. Curious one the witnesses grabbed a flashlight and went into the brush to investigate. As he got to the edge of the brush about 2 meters from the car he was stunned to see a bizarre creature standing five meters from him next to a gum tree. The witness crouched down to see a creature with two huge red piercing eyes. He then heard the pig like squeal sound again & the creature moved sideways becoming illuminated by the vehicle’s high beams, the witness could now hear his friend yelling at him from inside the car. As the creature emerged from the brush the witness could see that it had a hairy body, a large head & large teeth. The creature gave out very strong sulfur like smell. It kind of half walked, bobbing up and down as if sniffing the air. It had no tail & large pointy ears, a pug-like nose & was about 5-feet tall. It made horrible snorting & squealing sounds. As the witnesses drove away the creature leaped up into the air and into a nearby gum tree.

After finding several of his farm fowl dead under bizarre circumstances, apparently killed by an unknown predator, sometimes completely drained of blood, farmer Romeu Takeda, 54, was standing guard near the henhouse when he spotted a strange hairy figure approximately 1.50 meters in height, that suddenly rose from the ground about three meters away. It had his hairy arms outstretched. Frightened Takeda shot at it with a 28-caliber gun apparently striking it on the stomach area. The entity did not fall or cry out but it staggered to a nearby river about 70 meters away, without running but walking slowly. He described the creature as being covered with short dark brown hair with large round yellow eyes. He did not find any trace of blood or hair on the ground.

The witness was watching the Leonid meteor shower when he saw 2 glowing amber-colored lights hovering to the west over the Gulf of Mexico. He pointed them out to his friends but they all dismissed them as being just planes. Suddenly one of the craft began to get closer while the second one remained behind. The craft seemed to glide towards where the witness stood. He told his friends about it and they all became scared and all four of them took off running towards the pier. The craft hovered about 500 ft offshore when it sent down some kind of light beam that lit up a boat that was anchored right in front of the witness location. The beam of light was shaped like a cylinder. The craft then hovered above the witness and he tilted his head back looking on in astonishment. He felt mesmerized, and then he felt as he was given a telepathic message or image of the occupants of the craft. In his mind he saw two beings facing each other. They were very tall and dark. His memory of this part of the event is not to clear but he thought that the beings were somehow reptilian in nature, dark green in scaly. After the encounter ended the craft disappeared silently over the area flying over some nearby houses. The witness has been involved in further sightings.

A woman walking along a deserted road spotted a bizarre humanoid figure standing still about 3-4 meters from her. She described the figure as about 1.70 meters in height, and very thin. Its head was directly set on the shoulders, completely lacking a neck. The witness could hear that it emitted a strange sound. Approaching the figure she noticed that the sound emanated from a strange round facial orifice that seemed to be moving in an undulating fashion. It wore some type of dark habit with a type of cape hanging from its left side of the body. The stunned witness reported that the figure appeared to be bi-dimensional, “like a photo.” At one point the figure put one hand on his mouth, extracting a strange tiny object. The witness felt dizzy and briefly turned away from the creature, upon looking back the strange humanoid had vanished.

A deer hunter was standing in his tree stand holding a 12 gauge rifled barrel shotgun, when suddenly he heard a deep evil-sounding voice. It sounded like a “demon” taking deep breaths, amplified in comparison to anything he had ever heard. After two deep exhales it started to snort and bellow. He looked in the direction in which the sound was coming from and caught a glimpse of a dark figure about 7 to 9 feet tall, standing upright. As he looked at it through his riflescope it bellowed even louder. The hunter quickly left the area but heard similar sounds 20 minutes later.

Two witnesses were standing outside their basement apartment when a black 5-foot tall figure passed about 15 feet before them, “at very high speed” along a concrete driveway after coming out of the bushes of a park. There was no sound or odors. It was dark, and the figure was determined by the way it blocked out the light behind it. One of the witnesses had recently lost 3 cats in the area that had been apparently mutilated.

The two young witnesses had stayed up late studying and had gone to bed late. Suddenly a strange silence and bright flashing lights outside the window awakened them both. Frightened they both felt their covers gently drawn from their beds. One of the girls then saw standing at the foot of her bed a tall thin figure with large black shiny eyes. At this point her memory ends. The other girl then sees the main witness body rise from the bed and into the waiting arms of a tall thin figure. Another figure then appeared and also carried her into his arms. Unlike her friend she was conscious during this part of the incident. Soon she found herself in a different place, lying on a strange surface that was both hot and cold and surrounded by tall thin figures. She felt a sheet over her body but was unable to move, she could only move her eyes but could not see her friend anywhere. But moments later she saw several of the beings carrying her friend’s body out of the room. Looking towards the ceiling she an object descend slowly and silently towards her stomach. It resembled a very large needle. At that point she fainted. She woke up in the morning lying next to her friend on the kitchen floor.

The night of before the witness, Noel Chandler, had seen a round glowing UFO over his horse shed and for several nights previous there would be three loud thumps on the house and after checking all around outside, no cause was found. While in bed that night he became aware of a light in his bedroom from an outside source, bluish white, then a figure appeared, no real distinguishing features—real large eyes about the size of horse eyes, a small mouth, and nostrils like small holes. The witness was unable to move or talk. He heard a voice in his mind that told him that “they” were here to collect sperm samples. Soon a tube about 1/2 ” in diameter and six inches long with a ball at the end scanned his body. The tube was placed over his pubic hair just above the penis on the left side. A needle was then inserted; his left testicle was drawn up into his groin. There was no real discomfort or pain. The needle and tube were removed and taken into a floating sphere. Moments later another form came down the light, like floating in a horizontal position. It was a female with funny looking hair on her head. The needle and tube came out of the sphere and she inserted it into her navel. Then, telepathically, the witness was informed that their society was dying because they could not reproduce. They were becoming sterile; they said that by introducing new blood lines and clones, they could possibly regenerate their society. Their gestation period is three to four months. Soon the bluish light started to “close” in at the bottom and they were gone. A strange smell lingered.

A group of eight children, five boys, and three girls aged from 7 to 13, decided to camp out on the family property. Soon one of the boys, Ryan, noticed to the north west, about two kilometers away, flashes of red light streaking up into the sky and back down again. This went on for some time, and due to the unusual nature of the lights, Ryan called out to the other children to have a look. They did watch for some time then went into the tent. About 30 minutes later, Ryan, who had not gone into the tent, was astonished to see a huge illuminated object coming towards him from the direction of the lights. He called out once more for the rest of the children to come out to see. Of the eight children, five saw the object at varying positions in the sky in order of emergence from the tent. The other 3 were either sleep or not interested. As the craft flew directly overhead they could her a swooshing sound. All described the object as huge, with three brilliant yellow lights centrally situated underneath the craft in a triangular shape. And small blue, yellow, red, and white lights all around it. All described it as a “square circle shape” from underneath, and having three metallic, or bright silver landing pods. Ryan, who had the best overall view of the object, described a row of large yellow windows. Behind each window was a humanoid, described as having no hair, no clothing, large eyes, thin arms and legs, and potbellies. Behind each figure Ryan could also see some kind of controls. What appeared to be an orange window above and below the main row of portholes showed no signs of life. As the object passed directly overhead, it stopped over them for a few seconds. Around the landing gear and the lights swirled a white mist or vapor. The object eventually disappeared from sight.

The Wars of Gods and Men – [The Earth Chronicles Book 3]
– Zecharia Sitchin

Eons ago, the Earth was a battlefield. Mighty armies clashed, led by giant warriors meticulously skilled in the art of combat. These wars would shape man’s destiny and live on for centuries in legend, song and religious lore — brutal and terrible conflicts that began lifetimes earlier on another planet.In the astonishing third volume of Zecharia Sitchin’s The Earth Chronicles, the internationally renowned scholar parts the mists of myth and time to return to the violent beginnings of humanity — employing ancient text, religious documents and archaeological findings to reconstruct epic events that support the existence of extraterrestrial ‘god’ who once set nation against nation, army against army, and man against man.
