Under hypnosis the witness remembered being in a moving vehicle in a rural area when the car engine stopped. It then started again; the witness then drove and then walked to the location of an abduction. He recalled being inside an object with four to six beings around him. The beings were short with elongated heads, very large wrap around lizard like eyes, and tiny noses, mouths and ears. No clothing was noted. They had pointed feet and moved extremely quick and seemed indifferent to him. The beings communicated by using telepathy apparently warning the witness of upcoming global disasters.

An employee at a base used for overhauling aircraft was on a late shift to strip a C-133 to be moved out. He was on his way down to the pit with the crew, when a workmate (already there) radioed, "Call security! As I started to go in the entrance door of the aircraft somebody pushed me down and ran out into the bushes." When they all arrived on the scene, the radioing worker said that a "small guy" pushed him over. He believed the person was an alien and that the push was accompanied by an electric shock. The crew saw a flattened silver ball-like object rise up out of the trees in the direction that the small man was said to have run. "Just sort of like a silver cloud-type thing." It went straight up, and then moved slowly away to the east. As to the friend who had been pushed down, his girlfriend told the witness that the incident had screwed her boyfriend up regarding their relations and she wasn't happy about the alien interference with their love life.

Two boys were traveling on horseback in an isolated area when a man in a tractor suddenly emerged from the valley, moving at full speed in their direction. The man was extremely agitated and told them to leave the area, that a "monster" was living in the Bottom, he had seen it only moments before. The two boys, unafraid, decided to investigate as the farmer drove away. As they entered further into the wilderness area, the horses refused to go any further, so they continued on foot. A few minutes later they found themselves in a gorgeous mountain meadow lush with flowers and sweet smelling grass. One of the boys then noticed what appeared to be clumps of white fur lying near the trunk of an old tree. It looked like a dead dog or animal. Suddenly the clump stood up and ambled toward them. It was a creature nearly 9-feet tall, and almost completely covered with thick, snow white fur. Where the skin was exposed it was a strange, pinkish color. Its face and posture was human like. It also emitted a powerful odor, and made a sound like a radio signal as it slowly approached the two boys. The signal sounded like "beep, beep, beep." The terrified witnesses fled the area immediately. A posse was formed to hunt the creature down, but it was never found. Dead and mutilated cows were found in the area & also a human corpse, missing its limbs from its battered torso.

Several spelunkers, among them George D Wight, were exploring the cave when they spotted a light at the end of the tunnel. As they approached it, Wight noticed a narrow crevice, just big enough for him to squeeze inside it. Then he found artificial steps. He called to the others and they climbed through the opening. The tunnel expanded and they suddenly came into a large corridor, 20 by 20. The walls and the floors were smooth and the ceiling had a curved dome shape. Soon they encountered blue skinned but otherwise human-like individuals. The strangers communicated with the witnesses, telling them that they had instruments that could measure people's emotions. They learned that the tunnels went on for miles. They were led to underground cities populated by entities that included serpent-like creatures and large hairy bipeds. Soon using an elevator-like device they were taken to a glass like city. Soon after this incident, Wight apparently returned to the cave and was never seen again.

The witness believes there was some sort of telepathic communication. The witness had the extreme urge to touch the stranger, but this one would simply but pleasantly not allow it. He just smiled, laughed at the same time radiating some sort of inner peace and kindness. He seemed amused at the witness childish behavior. They then followed the stranger down the corridor leading to the exit. He stood and looked back, and smiled. The witness ran out the building to see the stranger enter a yellow car that was parked just in front of theirs. The yellow car disappeared in the heavy traffic. That same night in Silver Spring Maryland both witnesses heard a voice in their dining room and kitchen. They both then looked out the window to see an unknown object hovering high in the sky.

5-year old Jan Thompson was playing between a trailer and his house with his German shepherd dog, Ramma at his side. The sun was going down but there was still a beautiful streak of turquoise in the sky as it met with the shades of lavender, gray and pinks of sleepy clouds. He remembers hearing the wind picking up above him, and the trees were swaying in circular motions and the other dogs in the pen began to pacing the fence. Ramma began sniffing up at the air and looking beyond the tree line. The wind or what he mistook for the natural wind intensified with strength and noise and grew closer to where he was playing in the dirt. While still sitting on the ground, he used his feet to turn his body around in a half circle, the bottom of his pants getting filthy from the turning, but normal movement for a child. He then beheld what he described as an awesome and beautiful object. The craft was huge, wider in length than in height, saucer shaped and appeared to be the width of numerous houses put together. It hovered, seemingly floating and the center of it was a band of colors that whirled around it in a steady motion like a moving belt around its waist. It was about 2 acres away from where the witness sat. The whirling of the 'magical colored belt' seemed to emit a pleasant melody at the same time, and when the tune slowed, so did the racing of the multicolored lights. From below the vehicle which hovered about 2 stories over the ground below it, a door, or hatch actually opened sideways and a great light escaped from the belly of the craft. What appeared to be a set of stairs made from clear acrylic slowly began to expand from the light downward. Then, the most extraordinary thing took place. The witness heard his name being called to him from inside the object. Whether it was only inside his mind or actually being gently called from the craft, he heard his name being beckoned. He stood to follow the voice, his dog, Ramma, beside him, she too was not nervous or frightened and they both began their walk towards this object. Half way there, the woman that owned the nearby junkyard, Pearl, came running up behind him and swooped him up in her arms, screaming at the same time and firing her shotgun at the object. He tried to fight her, since he wanted to continue walking towards it. She dropped him but still had a hold of his collar and was trying to drag him away, to get back to the house. He watched the beautiful stairs disappear back into the object's belly, the colored lights speeding up in their race around in a circle, and felt the wind picking up. When his mother heard the commotion outside with all the shotgun blasts she came rushing out the back porch of Pearl's house and witnesses the bottom of the craft shoot straight up into the sky like a rocket and then shoot sideways out of sight. He remembered crying for a long time afterwards, with sadness. The next day he remembered seeing a lot of white trucks coming with a lot of men in white suits and helmets. They went over the ground of the junkyard where the vehicle had hovered, using strange instruments, taking pieces of just about everything and putting them in different size bags.

She saw in the pit of the craft machinery and several crewmembers operating machinery. One of them operated a central steering column, which stood upright in the middle. Suddenly she found herself inside a large room, empty but for a white painted dining room table, oval shaped, and six tall backed chairs around it. From the wall protruded an elbow-arm with a large green disc light over the center of the table. She was alone in the room and noticed several white painted closed doors. She went to one of the doors then opened it, there was a long passage, and she went in and then found herself back in the central control room of the craft. When she became aware that they were returning to earth she panicked and pleaded with the crew not to take her back.

He watched the light shrink until it went back up into the sky. He then heard a male voice in his mind, "We will see you again someday, when you are a lot older," it said.

The 7-year old witness was lying on a cot in his cousin's bedroom; the room was very dark since they didn't have a night light. His cousin and he were on the third floor of a brown, wooden apartment tenement. The walls were rough hewn chocolate brown wood with no sheet rock; you could see daylight out through the cracks. In the middle of the night he awoke when he felt pressure on his cot. He looked down at the foot of the cot and saw a creature sitting on it. Two others were standing at the foot of the cot looking at him. There was a faint light emanating from them somehow, so he could barely discern them. The light eventually brightened. Later, much later, even now, he could still recall the beautiful, vivid electric blue light. The beings were tiny, gray in color, no more than 3ft tall. They looked very fragile; however he felt no fear of them. They communicated to him through telepathy. They didn't say much. All he could remember them "saying" to him was not to be frightened. As he watched a circle of beautiful, brilliant and indescribable blue light appeared behind them. He remembers one of them going into the light and he somehow knew that that was where he was going too. This entire episode lasted about three minutes. He remembers falling asleep before they were gone. His cousin never woke up throughout the entire ordeal. He further described the aliens as having large heads, black oval eyes too large in proportion to their heads, a slit for a mouth and two small holes for a nose. Their long spindly limbs seemed to be too frail. When he woke up the next morning his left pinky finger was aching. He felt it and in the middle segment of the digit he felt what seemed to be a BB of some sort. He knew it wasn't there before. He told his mother about the entire incident and she beat him severely and would not even consider feeling the "BB" in his finger. Later on in life doctors would tell the witness that the BB was just fatty deposit. For some strange reason the witness thinks that "they" have protected him throughout his life.

They could not discern any facial features on the strange entity and its arms appeared to be cutoff at the elbows.

Driving 2 miles north of La Harpe on Rte. 94, Violet Bricker observed the flash of lights on what she first believed was an approaching plane; as it neared, she saw it was more dirigible-shaped and closing on her rapidly on a collision course. It stopped and hovered over the telephone lines opposite her car; silent, it was egg shaped, about as long as a Piper Club and 10 feet thick, and had a single bright yellow-white light on the end facing her. No doors, ports, or landing gear were seen; a lateral line like a seam encircled it. It began revolving in a clockwise motion on its axis, bringing the other end in view and exposing a two-foot platform on which stood a "man" wearing a bulky, white one-piece suit. He was about 5 ½ feet tall, stocky in build, and he stood with his left hand against the object and his right hand on his hip, staring directly down on the witness. His face had a ruddy complexion and his eyes were dark; he looked entirely normal otherwise. The object drifted about on its axis again and the figure was lost from view, rapidly disappearing from view. She was so taken aback by the experience she could not recall if she actually stopped her car or not; she recalled seeing a man and a woman on foot not 20 feet away to whom she signaled frantically to catch their attention, but to no avail.

Dame Rebecca West was walking the grounds of her home, Ibstone Home, when as she was going down a steep hill to the farm buildings she noticed a man walking on her property at some distance to the right of the path she was following. Presently the man reached a point when the wood stopped and there is a hedge which runs down to the valley along a sharp ridge. There is a gap in the hedge and the man stopped just past this and turned around facing in the reverse direction and stood still. Expressing concern West watched in amazement as what she described as an "aerial construction" appeared out of nowhere. It seemed to come down quite rapidly, on the other side of the hedge from the man, but very close to it. The object was strangely shaped; it consisted of something like a metal band, gray blue in color, flattened at one point so as to seem almost leaf-like, crossed with a sort of herringbone system of metal strips. There was also somehow attached to these and odd object like a bag with an opening that had points made of yellowish material. As she looked the whole thing collapsed toward the ground. There was complete silence. She saw "crumpling" towards the ground, the metal band seemed to cut backwards and disappeared while the curious bag looked as if someone was squeezing the air out of the lower portion of it, so that all the point stood up, and then fell back. Also playing in West's mind was the identity of the strange man, stressing that his behavior was "very odd". He seemed to be watching the thing come down and the minute it was down, he turned around and followed the hedge track down to the valley. Once or twice he looked to his left as if he was scrutinizing the valley, but he did not seem to see Dame West. But at the bottom of the slope he stopped again and looked all around the slope on which she was standing and this time he seemed to have seen her. They stood and looked at each other for a long time but Dame West had an uncomfortable feeling and went home. She reported the incident to the Ministry of Defense. Is not known if an investigation was conducted at the site.

The anonymous witnesses were changing a tire when they saw a flying saucer land 200 yards away. On investigation they found an object 75-100 ft in diameter and 25 ft high. A door slid open and a 7-foot spaceman appeared, called them by name, and conversed with them by telepathy. He said his race was from another star & that 400 American citizens are actually of his race.

At the local Inn called the Royal Oak, George Ingram woke up feeling very cold to see a huge, dark figure looming in his doorway. It slowly crossed the bedroom, went right through the bed and vanished into the wall by his side into the bathroom next door. This happened three times in one night. Around the same time, at a different room, Mrs. Hampton woke up feeling unutterably chilled, although the bed and the room were warm. Absolutely freezing she saw a broad-shouldered man leaning over the foot of her bed, arms outstretched. Her husband was in bed sound asleep. She looked back at the intruder and gripped the sheets tight. The intruder was huge, and a dark cowl like a monk's hid his features. She noticed the black or brown habit billowing beneath those long arms. Before she could scream it disappeared. She then rushed out of bed to turn the lights on and to wake her husband.

She described the creature as very thin, gaunt, covered with long black hair; it was about a little bit over a meter in height. It had a round hairless head, like that of a "newborn", terrified she screamed and ran into the house. A later search for the creature proved fruitless.

It looked like a disc with a pillbox on top, and was non-luminous. He was allowed inside, where the 5-foot pilot told him, in Spanish, that the craft was used only for travel around the earth. "The whole outside was a sort of giant fan;" there was a control seat with instruments & gauges. The pilot said it took 18-20 years to get to Earth from their system. The witness also had received letters from "M", a spaceman living in Seattle, giving further information.

Hilda Torper and her husband were on their way to a nearby movie theater driving on a strangely empty road, which usually had more traffic at that time. Near some cornfields they noticed an object resembling a "tower" flying low over the ground and approaching the road. Excited she yelled at her husband and this one began signaling the object with the headlights. Concerned she yelled at him to slow down since it could have been some type of farm equipment and she was afraid of an accident. He argued with her and instead went faster. Those were the last words she heard, suddenly she heard a sound like that of a giant vacuum cleaner and an uncanny force sucked both out the car, at the same time she felt a blow on her chin that threw her head back violently, at this point she lost consciousness. An intense light woke Hilda up; the light was blinding and was bothering her. She pleaded to whoever was with her to shut off the light, but her request was ignored. However slowly she was able to open her eyes again, she saw a small disc-shaped device hanging from a "ceiling" by what appeared to be a chain; this object emitted the blinding bursts of light. She felt asleep once again and soon woke up lying on a cot or stretcher, there were five men milling around her, she could not see her husband anywhere. She then heard a voice in her head that said, "Don't attempt to remember, is useless". A figure then appeared next to her cot, it was a told blond man, wearing a metallic blue coverall, he spoke to her in her mind, "I am Turnelde, and I will be your guide". He grabbed her arm and she noticed that he had six digits. Later she remembered being taken on a trip to the Brazilian Matto Grosso, more precisely "El Roncador Mountain". There the craft entered a huge tunnel where she saw immense shiny or metallic walls.

After driving around in a caravan of 3-4 cars, they decided to pull over in a gravel pit and watch the skies. Suddenly they all got out when a huge dark "dog" ran through the pit. The dog was larger than any they knew sot they decided to try to follow it. They ran through the pit, but the last one in lien was stopped by a strange odor. He could not identify it, and as he stood there, a large form glided towards him. The form was giving off this odor and he had the feeling he was to follow this gliding form. He broke away and ran back to the car. He told a person there to call the others back, & she did. As they walked back, the man jumped out of the car, saying that he had to go back, and started for the woods. The others grabbed him and held him until he quieted down, and they all left the area.

The object bore 4 lights, "the brightest I ever saw," one directed to the front, one to the rear, and 2 to the ground. On top was a long, curved antenna, on one end a horizontal "tail" and near the middle a porthole. Near the tail end was a vertical inscription reading "TL 4168 or TL 4768." Kneeling beside this craft was a man wearing something like an Air Force uniform, with peaked cap, and a chevron insignia resembling that of a master sergeant. Laxson got out & ran toward the object, then turned back to get his camera.

Just after she had crossed the Red River Bridge she came directly underneath it, and stopped; it descended & hovered very close to the car. A luminous horizontal lens shaped body, more than twice the length of her station wagon, was surrounded by a spherical framework that was revolving around it. On one side of the disc was a long window through which 4 human occupants were to be seen; one stood regarding her, while the others busied themselves with instruments & controls on the rear wall, on which multicolored lights were flashing. They wore tight-fitting silvery gray uniforms and had slanted "Oriental" eyes. Her daughter said that one was a woman. Standing outside the car, Dr. Page watched the UFO for about 20 minutes. A "force field" around the craft made it difficult for her to breathe, and a hot wind blew from the sphere that smelt "electrical." Finally another car approached, and the UFO quickly moved away toward the river.

A saucer flew down the main street of Bagley at a low altitude, jumping over a school bus and landed in the outskirts of the town. Four beings of small stature got out of the UFO, seemed to do some work on it, got back in & took off. Recently a witness (Rocky) came forward alleging he had been 15-years old at the time and had been abducted onboard that same craft. He claims he was given control of the craft and was indeed flying it at the time it flew over Main Street. The witness does not remember where or when he entered the craft. He thinks he would have played hooky that day. He remembers bringing a forged excuse slip to school the next day. First he was flown to Russia, where it was night. The craft landed (or per later recollection most likely hovered) in an unoccupied section of a large city---looking at the atlas after the fact, it was most likely Moscow. There an older man conferred with him and counseled him on how to deal with the nightmares that he had been having since his abduction at age 3. At this time the aliens told him that "That they would let him live my life." Then he was given complete control of the craft to fly back to Bagley. He recognized the Great Lakes as they flew over them. The witness stated that he overshot Bagley. "I flew to the far south and west. When I was flying over the Red River valley (at a very low altitude), I wondered why it was so flat. I was surprised by the ship answering me with several views of the Red River Valley during past geological periods. The ship had recorded prior events, playing them back to me, making it like actually being there." The witness flew on to Bagley. He flew the craft, at only a few feet of altitude, down the main street of Bagley and jumped it over the bus, because he wanted someone to see it, he knew he would forget the experience otherwise. He then landed the craft on the outskirts of town in Lake Lamand Park. He slipped down the ramp and out into the grass, while the aliens pretended to make repairs, and got away without being seen. He made his way down several blocks to the school and was in time to catch his usual school bus home. The witness claims other contacts.

On this weekend after Easter, 19-year old Valentina Ivanovna, a local resident of house # 36 on Druzhby Street, was staying alone at home, reading a book and waiting for her parents to arrive. Momentarily looking away from the book she looked at the clock and noticed that it was already noon time. Suddenly the heard a strange sound, which she could then only describe as similar to "shimmering electronic bells" but soft in nature, looking around looking for the source of the strange melodic sound she saw a tiny sphere or globe shaped object, dark gray in color, hovering just above the floorboards. The sound then stopped and the strange sphere began increasing in size and it became so big that it seemed to totally envelope the room, the witness felt as if she had been "absorbed" into the sphere and suddenly found herself transported into an unearthly realm. At first everything around her was gray, and then Valentina noticed a far horizon, the strange new sky above her was dark blue, without any stars. She then noticed the grass below her, which seemed to be cut very low and was of an unearthly red color. She felt a strong wind which bended the short grass to the ground and somehow understood that the alien's star (their sun) was evidently behind her, but she didn't see it. Looking to her right at about 1.5meters away Valentina saw an alien woman standing. Valentina felt that she could have easily touched her, but felt no desire to do so. The alien woman had dark wavy hair and wore a white dress. The strong wind was blowing the dress around. The alien woman stood still staring into the horizon. She wasn't that tall, about 1.55m in height, slender and thin, with tanned skin, of a pleasant brown tint. Such color of skin was usually typical to the Caribbean region on Earth like Cuba. Her eyes were unearthly, much bigger than normal human eyes, and elongated but straight, not slanted. The eyes were very beautiful and expressive. Her nose, mouth, ears and the rest of her body looked quite human or terrestrial. Her hands had five digits. Her dress was incredibly white---clean without any design, it was cut in an earthly style, with a low cut neck line, without any sleeves, extending below the knees. Valentina and the alien woman stared at each other, then the woman smiled (Valentina noticed incredible white teeth) turned around and began walking away towards the horizon, Valentina watched as it appeared that the woman seemed to float just above the ground as the grass did not bend as she walked over it. Valentina did not notice if the woman wore any footgear. Moments later Valentina saw a gray mist and the same tiny sphere began "rolling" towards her, the space around immediately transformed into her familiar bedroom. The strange sphere then rolled under the sideboard and vanished. The witness again heard the soft melodic sound and everything returned to normal. Valentina realized that the sound had been aimed to attract her attention. When she looked at the clock it was only 5 minutes after 12. Only five minutes had passed. Valentina never felt any fear during the encounter.

The 13-year old witness (involved in other encounters) was at home alone babysitting her younger brother and two sisters when her mother called to see how things were going. As she spoke on the telephone an "entity" suddenly came to the front door. It was a small figure, about 4 ft tall, with a body that seemed solid and hard, as if it were encased in some kind of material. It glided into view, had two glowing silver eyes and two small ear-like projections on top of its head. As it stood looking at the witness, this one began shrieking on the telephone. Looking out the window the witness could see that the creature attempted to get into the house. She heard the doorknob rattle. However the door was hooked shut. The creature then moved away in the same direction from which it had come. By now the witness was still on the phone with her mom and her siblings had come from the other room to see why she was so upset. Even the family dog, a large collie/shepherd who always barked at anyone that came to the door, was frightened and backed away from the door with her tail between her legs. Her mother then called a neighbor who came over with a flashlight and looked around the bushes outside the house but nothing was found.

13-year old Robert Carter was sharing a bedroom with his brother when one night his brother awakened him and asked if he felt an odd humming sensation, which he did. They both jumped up and ran to the window. Both then saw a large saucer shaped craft which covered an entire 25 acre field (!), moving from west to east very slowly. Its altitude was approximately 15-20 feet over the field. From their vantage point on the 2nd story window they saw a side view of the craft. The craft was very bright luminous silver/white in color and at the most it was approximately 100-150 feet from the witnesses. They could see what appeared to be portals with creatures that appeared to be facing and staring at them. The craft slowly covered the distance of the field and then when it started going over a 2nd 25 acre field directly to the east it accelerated at an extremely high rate of speed, going at a 40 degree angle. At which time they could see the perfectly round shape of the craft as it accelerated to a very high altitude. It then performed a 150 degree reversal, then a 70 degree angle towards the rear fields. All of this accelerated activity taking no more than 1-2 seconds. They woke their parents up and they found it very hard to believe admonishing the boys and telling them to get back to bed. The next day there were reports of a low flying object in the area on local television and newspaper sources. In an area near Milford Ohio it flew so low that it broke tree branches. The witness claims that within three days an officer from Project Blue Book came to the farm and asked for an interview with them, but their parents refused. He told them that their neighbors directly to the east of them reported the same craft and that it had landed in their field. When they went back there the same day there was a large circular depression that appeared to be slightly burnt and covered almost the entire 25 acre field.

The 18-year old witness was driving on highway 75 on his way to visit his girlfriend. At first there was an annoying flash of bright sunlight in the distance on the road in front of him. It was much like the reflection of sunlight from the rear of a polished metal van and it was becoming irritating. After about 5 minutes of this irritation this turned to the east on what the witness thought to be a road in the far distance. But to his amazement this luminous object did a rapid turnaround and was now traveling west. Then again it changed directions and the witness then thought it was an aerial crop duster. He thought it was a Bell helicopter with the sun reflecting off the bubble canopy they have. The craft now appeared that it was coming in the witness direction. It made two or three east to west and west to east passes and then began a low level flight northeast about 200 metes parallel to the highway. As it traveled toward the witness the first thing he noticed was the silence of this craft, it was about still about half a mile away but there was no sound and that was very curious to the witness. The object kept traveling northward in his direction until he recognized that it was nothing like anything of this world. It was a perfect sphere like that of mirror, reflecting all that is around it. On its surface he could see the ground the sky and the sun beaming back at him. When the witness stopped his vehicle he stopped in the shadow of a surrounding hill and by chance gave him an opportunity to witness something he hasn't heard of anyone else mention in other UFO reports. The oddity was that when this spherical object crossed the line of sunlight into the shadow it was like dissolving of the sphere and out came a flying disk. At this point the hair on the witness head was beginning to tingle. In fact his whole body was beginning to vibrate almost out of control. The object had changed course and was coming straight at him. The adrenalin was pumping so hard that he felt that his heart was pounding somewhere in his brain. As it approached a red portal appeared and rotated to his direction. Within the portal he saw a being shadowed with barely enough frontal light to distinguish that it was a humanoid face and it was looking directly at the witness. He had never been that terrified in his life because as it approached it had to rise in the air to clear the power lines to fly directly overhead. At that moment the witness went looking for his camera and thinking about "temporal distortions". He sat there looking out all the windows of his vehicle waiting to see where it was going but it never passed overhead. Finally he gathered the courage to open the car door and look straight up, the craft had disappeared.

The witness was at one of his first overnight Boy Scout hikes in Camp Kaufman and was walking alone through a large empty grassy field. It was getting dark and he was returning from the trading post to the campsite. Suddenly he saw a bright glowing blue creature. His initial thought was that it was a large penguin---but glowing very brightly. It almost appeared that he could see all the different internal organs beneath the glow. He stopped and stared at it for 10 seconds and then proceeded to run away as fast as he could. No one believed him back at the camp. The witness added that what appeared to be the "internal organs" were yellow in color.

A man observed the landing of an oval object and 2 beings, which came out of the object through a system of light beams. They used strange instruments to examine a number of objects, especially plants. They were 6 ft tall, had oversized heads, and appeared bright & "transparent." Their eyes were slanted, their shoulders very broad. They wore no apparent weapon, but their belts were very wide & emitted light rays. They did not touch anything without first illuminating it with these beams. They went back aboard the craft "as if carried by the light."

At least 11 security guards posted around the site and the base and other independent witnesses reported an object descending in broad daylight into the woods, damaging tree limbs and branches on the way down. It was circular and according to rumor it landed on four structured legs (several children with their parents) that were about 100 to 200 ft from it witnessed this. As they approached the area they were able to see a small humanoid entering the base of the object. The craft quickly ascended vertically and moved away rapidly. The witnesses contacted the tower and security teams were dispatched to cordon the area off. According to the security guards, the vegetation was burnt at the center of four imprints, which were several inches deep and about a foot square. The base photographer was ordered to take pictures of the sight; his negatives and photos were confiscated. The base was a missile silo location at the time. In one occasion a motion alarm went off at one of the missile sites and two strike teams were sent there and observed a hovering circular object with many lights on it. It was at least 50 feet from the site and the strike teams experienced radio interference. They asked their commander what they should do and they were told that "if anything came out shoot it" after several anxious minutes the object flew silently away.

Farmer Manuel Hernandez was returning home from the fields walking on Los Morales County Road when at about 100 meters away from him he observed a disc shaped object. The craft was metallic and had a protruding rim that reflected the early morning sunlight. Carefully, he approached to within several meters of the object, which appeared to be about 3 meters in diameter. Suddenly out of nowhere and without any opening becoming visible on the object, several bizarre beings appeared. The humanoids flew around the object and over the nearby field. Afraid, Hernandez began moving away from the area and noticed that the creatures appeared to be short in stature with bird-like wing-like protrusions and gray-green skin color. He could not distinguish any facial features, but did see that the strange humanoids wore dark coveralls and transparent glass helmets that covered their heads. Terrified he ran all the way home. Later, upon returning to the site with several family members, the object and the bizarre creatures were nowhere in sight.

At the time, Alexander Severov head of a geological expedition tasked to research the banks of the river in search for the presence of cobalt. On May 12 a group of 8 persons including Severov disembarked by helicopter in the area. The next day they walked a long distance during their search. On the evening of May 17 four of the group had stopped to spend the night and pitched some tents, made a bonfire and began preparing dinner. The sun had almost set as Severov finished entering notes into his diary when he suddenly heard a strong whistling sound, and felt a large body fly at a low altitude over the camp. The craft landed silently at about 100 meters from the camp. At first the group was filled with fear but in about 20 minutes it changed into curiosity and dared to approach the strange object. The object was described as shaped like a blunt cone about 30 meters in diameter. The surface of the cone was smooth with what appeared to be appreciable traces of burns and no visible apertures or openings. When the group approached to within 40 meters of the object they felt warmth emanate from the craft. At this point the geologist took readings with a Geiger counter for possible radiation but found none. They then approached even closer to the object to about 10meters. Suddenly they heard a rustling sound and saw an opening in the form of an ellipse become visible in the bottom of the object; it was illuminated, shining a strange lifeless bluish-violet light. In this aperture there was something similar to a person in a "spacesuit". The figure was a little above human height. In the bottom section of the aperture (hatch) was something similar to a ladder and it rested on the ground in front of the cone. The figure in the spacesuit walked down this ladder and moved in the direction of the witnesses. Strangely they didn't experience any fear, but the witnesses felt paralyzed in a state of catalepsy unable to move their hands or feet. Behind the first figure appeared two more humanoids, these two walked down the ladder and approached the witnesses. At about 5meters from the witnesses, the first humanoid made an uncertain hand gesture which could have been interpreted as a greeting or as an order to approach. Then by using additional gestures the humanoids invited the witnesses to follow them into the craft, the two other humanoids walked by the witnesses and stood one of each side of the group at about 5metersr away. The witnesses were now able to move and felt they had no other choice than to follow the humanoids into the craft. The first humanoid in the spacesuit entered the craft followed by the four witnesses (including Severov) and then by the other two humanoids. Alexander and the other witnesses then found themselves in an empty square room hardly more than 2 meters in height and 5 meters in width. The room was completely empty; there was no sign of the humanoid that walked inside the object first. The walls were absolutely smooth without any traces of doors and the room was lit by a bluish-violet light from an unknown source. After the last geologist (witness) entered the room the hatch closed slowly behind them, leaving outside the two other space-suited humanoids. Suddenly a milky colored gas began filling the room, as the odorless gas reached up waist level to the witnesses the room suddenly became extremely dark. The witnesses became terrified but after awhile the room became light again. The gas was already gone and they could now see a rectangular-shaped aperture directly in front of them on a wall and inside they could see some entities which were watching the witnesses with interest. These entities were described as human-like but with leathery blue skin tones and the size of their heads was a bit larger than humans. In a strongly accented Russian the entities offered the witnesses a tour of their ship. The witnesses were then led through a narrow corridor about 1.5m in width. Through this corridor the witnesses entered another room which had sparkling crystal white colored walls. In this room the aliens asked the witnesses to undress and then subjected them to a careful examination of their bodies using a silvery plate over, apparently some type of scanning device. The witnesses felt a strange prickling sensation over the areas of their bodies were the silvery plate scanned over, according to Alexander it felt as if they were being pinched by hundreds of tiny needles. After the examination the aliens somehow knew that Alexander was the leader of the group of geologists and he was then separated from the others and taken into another room where a conversation between the aliens and Alexander took place. During the conversation the aliens explained to Alexander that they had made an emergency landing due to a malfunction in their propulsion system. The purpose of their expedition was to study humans, their ability to live (survive), and their social structures without direct intervention into their lives. They were especially interested in the increase of radiation in the environment of planet Earth which as it seemed to them, could bring earth's civilizations to complete ruin. At the end of their conversation the aliens told Severov that must never talk about this meeting with them, since anyway nobody would ever believe him and furthermore his comrades will never confirm the encounter since their entire memory of the episode would be completely erased from their memories. The aliens then released Alexander and warned him not to come closer than 100meters to their ship. When Alexander descended the ladder from the ship the ladder was at once sucked back into the ship and the hatch was closed leaving no visible seams. Near the bonfire Alexander noticed his friends apparently sleeping on the ground he rushed to them and vainly attempted to rouse them. They finally came to their senses not remembering anything of what had occurred, their last memory was of sitting by the fire ready for supper. Alexander tried to explain to them what had occurred but they would not listen to him and made fun of him. In the morning Alexander visited the site where the UFO had landed but found not the slightest trace of the mysterious craft. After returning from the expedition Alexander told the entire story to his supervisors, but his story was not believed since the other members of the expedition could not confirm it. After the incident all the members of the expedition except for Alexander suffered from repeat headaches and doctors could not determine the cause of the headaches.

Several children including Margaret Borisova were playing on a field near a local pond accompanied by Borisova's grandmother when they noticed near the mill a strange cloud hovering in the clear sky. It rapidly descended and then hovered above a nearby vegetable garden. As the group stared curiously at the cloud suddenly several small transparent capsules ejected out of it and flew in the direction of the witnesses, in small capsule appeared to be occupied by one or two small figures. The capsules moved slowly as they noiselessly floated around the astonished witnesses. In some of the capsules there appeared to be 3 figures. The figures were very tiny, not more than 20cm in size, however they were correctly proportioned just like humans, with a head, 2 legs and two arms. They were dark in color, eyes like blue pits and seemed to move inside the capsules using diving or swimming movements. After a certain time they began to dissolve into thin air. First only the capsules remained visible and then they also disappeared. The grandmother explained it away as a "mirage".

Mike Lonzo had written a 58-page UFO report for a high school English class. His effort was awarded by an "A" grade and placed on display in his school after he was asked to read it to an entire convocation of students. This coincided with his mother's interest in signing up for a correspondence course on creative writing, sponsored by an outfit known as "Famous Writers". The volume of work required clashed with Mrs. Lonzo's other duties so she became discouraged. One afternoon, a strange character paid a visit to the Lonzo household. Mike describes him as wearing an olive-green sharkskin suit and having dark wavy hair and the facial structure of a "Filipino/Pakistani". The man extended a business card and introduced himself as "Mr. Marx", a sales rep for "Famous Writers". Mrs. Lonzo was concerned at first, believing that he had come to chide her on her lack of progress in the writing course. Mr. Marx, however, appeared more interested in UFOs and asked if either Mike or Mrs. Lonzo had seen any in the area. Mike promptly volunteered that he had recently completed an award-winning report on the subject. "Mr. Marx" went on to tell Mike that Wright-Patterson AFB had a museum in which captured saucers were "on exhibit". He later offered to take Mike's report to his superiors for possible publication as a pamphlet. No other copy of the document, which included photos, was available at the time. As a curious aside, Mr. Marx told the Lonzos that he lived in West Mifflin (outside of Pittsburgh) in one of two "round houses" build in the 1950's and which were well known to townspeople due to their irregular, futuristic style. Mike went to bed excited about the possible publication of his project. But as days went by, no word was heard from Mr. Marx. A call was placed to the number on his business card, only to be told that there was no Mr. Marx working for "Famous Writers" as a sales rep. A helpful operator suggested that they try the Cleveland office. The reply there was the same. Mike and his father went to West Mifflin to find the purported Marx character at one of the "round houses". They were stunned to discover that there was no Mr. Marx or Marx family at either of the structures. The fate of his school report remains a mystery to this day.

She turned to look behind her, and was stunned by the sight of a craft in the distance. The craft had an array of colored lights. The lights were blinking on and off. They encircled the strange craft, and these lights seemed to be of a color she had not seen before, and were extremely bright and clear. She said: "The more I looked, the more I wanted to keep looking." The sight of the beautifully colored lights somehow made her feel happy. She could not taker her eyes off the craft and its twinkling lights. While some of the other children ran inside the house, Eve remained outside staring at the craft, which now appeared to be much closer. Now she could see two beings through a window, she could make out part of one of their bodies and another being seemed to be controlling the UFO. The two appeared to be conversing among each other. The beings appeared thin, with long dangling arms. Suddenly a beam of light shot out of the craft and seemed to head towards her, she ran into the bushes with the beam of light close behind her. She was now kneeling, shaking and crying to herself. The beam was moving, apparently scanning the ground close to her. The object was totally motionless as the beam angled towards the ground. Soon the light disappeared up into the craft, not turned off, but drawn into the craft in one motion. Within a moment, the craft disappeared. Looking up into the sky, Eve now saw three other similar craft that appeared to be moving in unison. Soon the objects made a type of jerking motion and in a flash they were gone.

Moscow geologist Oleg Ivanovich was involved in a geological expedition and along with the others in the group had camped out in a thick forest northwest of Topolevka. One day their horse got badly stuck in the swamp mud and they decided to camp out for the night. Soon they were awakened by a deafening noise from the sky. Running out of his tent, Ivanovich found that, all around them, the forest was on fire. The trees were burning, the heat was intense and they jumped into the river to escape from it. The next morning, pockets of forest here and there were still burning and they set out to see where the explosion appeared to have been. Then queer things began to happen. Their compass went spinning out of control. The radio would not work properly, and they began to experience a sensation of "powerlessness". The trees were seemingly all bent over in one direction, and their tops were lopped off as though by a gigantic knife. Approaching cautiously over the very swampy terrain, they saw the wide outline of a burnt object, like two washbasins set face to face, with flashing lights around its central part, they could see a small door from which dense smoke was coming. And, emerging from the dark interior, through the door, a sort of "tentacle" sticking out. Owing to the swampy soil they could not get no nearer. They were about 25 meters from it. They began to take photographs, but none came out very well. They suspected that it was due to radioactivity---because even during that brief period they all felt overcome by vertigo and nausea. Ivanovich eyesight was also impaired somehow, so they decided that it was safer to retreat to a safer distance. By then it was getting dark and they heard the sounds of approaching helicopters. The witnesses counted over 5 helicopters heading to the site where the crashed UFO lay. They thought of going back to the scene but it was getting dark and their compasses no longer worked. So the next morning around 1000A they returned to the location and there wasn't a scrap of the burnt and crashed object left. They however found human footprints on the swampy soil and marks left by the helicopters. Later other eyewitnesses surfaced, Anna Egoronovna had been awakened in the middle of the night by a roar and found the walls of the house shaking. Half sleep she looked outside and found that it was all lit up, just like daytime. The ground began to shake and she saw a great glowing light descending towards the forest, a light as bright as the sun. It made her eyes sore and affected her eyesight. The thing fell somewhere in the forest and she felt a powerful blast of wind and then everything went dark again; all that remained was a great glow off into the distance. Also Michael Kuzmich, a 79-year old hunter had been fishing in the area late at night when suddenly he heard a tremendous noise, a sort of "howling". Then the sky lit up as though all in flame. He ran seeking shelter and then there came an explosion and he was struck by a tremendous blast of air. The tops of the trees were catching fire and crackling as the flames leapt up. He thought that the Chinese had launched a nuclear missile. In addition it is speculated that number of alien bodies were found inside the object after a research team penetrated it through the opened hatch.

A middle aged couple and their teenaged son went on a fishing trip on this remote lake set amid a quarry 20 miles north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Arriving in the evening the family congratulated themselves on having the body of water all to themselves for fishing purposes. But their joy soon turned to fear when they were engulfed in what one of the witnesses described as "total, complete darkness and stillness" punctuated by and odd grinding sound and a smell similar to industrial-strength abrasives on steel. Most terrifying than the shroud of darkness enveloping them was the fact that the couple's 15 year old son vanished right in front of his parent's eyes, not responding to their repeated shouts. After the enigmatic blackness evaporated, the son appeared out of nowhere, nervously saying that he had seen a disk-shaped "airplane" and gone toward it, but without any further recollection as to what happened---an amnesic condition which deteriorated into insanity. The hapless teenager has been confined to mental health facilities since that time, according to the letter written by one of the suffering parent's to Canadian Ufologist John Colombo.

A man was lying alongside the water of Lake Nasijarvi between the north side of the island of Pikku-Hormu and the island of Hormu. Having finished a job he was taking a one-hour pause in the northern shore of the lake. He was eating a sandwich and drinking coffee when he heard over the weak rushing of the water an increasing rushing noise from the south of the island. He thought that it was another boat coming to the island and soon after a sound resembling someone dropping an anchor was heard. Then began a very loud hammering noise and the man assumed the other boat had needed repairs. After this the noise faded, he then heard steps from behind him, first one person, then two persons. As he expected that they would come forward and address him, he did not turn around. When nothing happened, he rose and packed his things and walked over to his boat and began lifting the line into boat, slowly rowing away in his boat. He then thought he wanted to see what the other boat looked like and soon he saw it from a distance of about 30 meters. He was astonished to see that it had a row of oval windows, through which a faint light was shining. After a while he looked again and was even more astonished when he noticed that the ship was actually standing on the shore and over the surface of the island. In the area between the ship and the island he could see someone walking about. The "ship" was standing on four telescopic legs, two of which were shorter as the slope of the shore is quite steep. On the island side of the ship a ladder with three steps was clearly visible. The fisherman now felt that this ship was not from this world, but he continued to observe it, approaching it even further. Apparently someone onboard the ship did not appreciate this and they shone a bright beam of light towards him as he tried to approach. This ceased after a while however. He could altogether see five humanoids, three tall and two smaller. As they were all the time behind the ship, he could not see many details. They seemed to be clad in blue overalls. Finally they all got into the ship, which then began to ascend. The telescopic legs, which had rounded plates on the bottom, detracted into black holes on the bottom of the ship, which was oval shaped, some 2.5 meters high and 6 meters in width. After it had ascended to a height of several "tree heights" it accelerated at great speed towards the northwest. It then disappeared into the distance.

The five year old witness was sleeping in his bedroom with his window opened on the first floor of the house. His bedroom was facing towards the backyard. Suddenly he abruptly awoke to a loud humming sound coming from outside. After a few seconds, he noticed a blue light that seemed to be coming from his open window. At first it was very faint and hardly noticeable, but after the course of a few minutes, the blue light had become so bright that it covered everything in his field of vision. He tried to get up and get his parents but he was paralyzed, either out of shock from the event or from an unknown force. All of the sudden, he felt a presence in the room, at first he was scared but then he felt a strong reassurance that the presence was not there to harm him. Then, with an overwhelming flash of white light the buzzing sound stopped and the blue light disappeared. After this he was able to move and went to the window to see what had happened. He looked into the yard and everything looked eerily still. The trees weren't moving, the grass wasn't waving and there wasn't a ripple in the pool.

Four year old Dawn Chester disappeared from her bed at home in Chatham. The Family searched the bedroom thoroughly, stripping the beds and pulling out drawers, but there was no sign of her there or elsewhere in the house, and the doors were locked. Neighbors helped in another search of the house, and an hour later, when Mr. Chester was on his way to phone the police, he heard a voice in his right ear, "We have returned her." He rushed home and found Dawn sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes. Fifteen years later, when asked about the experience, she replied that she remembered nothing of what had happened, except 'going to sleep and waking up to a lot of people making a lot of fuss'.

Giusepe Cavenaghi was fishing in a creek near the town when he observed at about 70 meters overhead a metallic disc shaped object flying at about 40 mph. It flew slowly over the river and disappeared from sight. Cavenaghi then heard a loud voice from behind him asking him what he had seen; the question was repeated again at which time the witness replied in the negative. Turning around he saw a tall human like figure with pale features standing nearby. The figure was wearing a gray shirt with a dark vest and what appeared to be old-fashioned sleeves. He also wore a striped pair of pants with belt, and a tight fitting black cap on his head. The strange figure then turned around and disappeared into the brush.

A young couple was driving along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which seemed strangely devoid of traffic that day when they saw a large circular object in the sky ahead of them. It looked as if it was going to land directly on the turnpike. The husband, mildly alarmed pulled over to the edge of the road and stopped. They watched as the object, a shiny metallic craft with large black spots or windows, flew very low over their car. Then it was suddenly gone. Her husband started the car again, and they drove on to their cottage. It was not until after they arrived at their destination that they looked at their watches. It was 1330. They had started out at 0930A. For some reason, which neither of them could understand, it took them four hours to make a drive that normally took 30 minutes.

A man, who had gone fishing, was disturbed when he noticed a strange silence around him. He lay down but was awaken by a field mouse, he turned and saw a light, and he could see that the light was on a shiny silvery flattened tear-drop shaped craft, a hatch on the object opened revealing an interior panel with a dark desk divided into squares. Then four tall well-built men appeared, they had short blond hair, a kind face and appeared to be wearing casual clothing. A slightly shorter and older man now appeared. The witness became frightened and attempted to flee, but he heard a telepathic message that told him not to be afraid. He was told to ask as many questions as he liked, but the aliens apparently avoided a direct answer. Towards the end of the conversation the witness felt sleepy and closed his eyes, when he opened them again, the object and men were gone.

National railroad signalman Camillo Faieta was sitting on a small wall along the railroad tracks listening to his Sony transistor radio when suddenly the sky above was lighted by a very bright light and the witness saw a "shining globe" approaching. The object had a grainy and fluorescent trail was making a slight hum and finally touched down a few meters below along the embankment of a canal located along the railroad tracks. The object was stationary shining with a violet light like one emitted by the "oxy-flame" and two minutes later it moved to touch down again over an emerging little island in the middle of the canal. Once there the globe lost its brightness and became "dull argent" when the water of the canal seemed to reflect a kind of "fused aluminum color". After a while the light dimmed so that Faieta was able to make out the shape of the object, that's the moment when his transistor radio stopped working. All excited the witness ran to the signalman's house and called the Police department in Pontedera. Then he took his battery railway lantern and walked along the border of the old canal. He arrived right on the place where the globe first touched down and tried to light up the little island down below where the craft stood still, but his lantern suddenly turned down slow becoming reddish just like a battery losing power. Faieta then decided to walk down the embankment to stand by the river. He described the object as shaped like an irregular ellipsoid like two cones one upside down over the other. It was standing on three legs placed at a distance of 120 degrees one from the other. Faieta also said he saw "two little human shadows against the light moving around inside the craft, looking like tubes." Frightened by the shadows the witness ran back to the signalman house where he found other persons watching the object. At the site of the landing three holes were found 1.20" in diameter and 4 inches deep. Other independent witness that same night spotted the object approaching the location.

In an isolated area the witness was hurrying back to his house as he had apparently forgotten a book. But as he came up to the house he remembered that he hadn't really forgot anything. So he returned to catch up with the station-wagon containing his mother and two sisters when to his amazement time suddenly seemed to slow down. He seemed to slow down also but was somehow to think "separate" from physical what was going on, which he didn't have the slightest notion why. Soon he saw what looked like a fog in some nearby bushes and trees (with some sparkling light taking shape) take shape into a man. This person or whatever it was held out its hands and spoke to the witness in a warm and gentle voice telling him to be calm. The witness calmed down and the stranger seemed to look right through him, until after a little while time back-lashed and reclaimed what had passed in a swift motion. Regaining his composure he started back to the car only to get inside and shiver with fear. (The witness has been involved in other UFO encounters).

It was described as five-½ foot tall, dressed in a one-piece suit that glowed with a green light. It wore boots and a belt buckle, and it had an emblem on its chest resembling a crescent moon. It also wore a tight-fitting skullcap over his head. The nose was two simple holes and the mouth was a flat horizontal line. Its eyes were huge and round, glowing with a greenish red light that varied in intensity. Both witnesses fell in a trance like state looking at the entity and could not take their eyes off of him.

A young woman, D.R., while looking out the window of her apartment located in the center of town spotted a luminous spot quickly approaching her location from the direction of Santa Barbara de Montalbano just southwest of where she was. As it got closer the luminous object began to assume a cylindrical shape, transparent in nature. The curious witness watched the strange cylinder-shaped craft as it approached even closer. The cylinder was illuminated from within with a homogenous light. The craft then descended to within several meters from the ground and about 50 meters away from the witness. She could hear a low motor-like sound apparently coming from the object. Inside the object was visible a male human-like figure that appeared to be floating in a vertical position inside the object. The figure was about 1.68m in height, while the cylinder appeared to be about 3m in height, the eyes of the figure were closed and he was totally immobile, apparently meditating. The facial features were human and he sported a very long gray beard, giving him an "elderly" appearance. The humanoid figure was wearing a one-piece red tunic type garment and what appeared to be sandals on his feet. The witness however was very impressed at a large silvery medallion which the humanoid had on his chest area, shaped like a circle with an iridescent spot in the middle. In an instant the craft suddenly shot away quickly disappearing from sight and again becoming a luminous spot in the distance finally disappearing in the direction of Capo Milazzo.

The bodies of two men were found in a hilltop clearing near Niteroi. Two lead half-masks, for covering the upper half of the face, and strange, partially coded notes were found besides the bodies. The two men were identified as Manuel Pereira di Cruz, aged 32, and Miguel Jose Viana, and aged 34. They were both radio and television technicians. According to an autopsy report they died from stoppage of the heart. There was no apparent cause of this. The men had been dead for about four days when they were found. A mathematician reported that part of the notes contained only the ohm equation (dealing with the strength of electric current) and the rest was unintelligible. A number of people came forward during the investigation with reports of an oval, orange colored object hovering over the top of the hill. One woman reported seeing the object at the time the men went up the hillside. Local detectives and experts from Rio de Janeiro with the help of troops and the Brazilian Information Service investigated the affair, a weird array of theories was considered including murder, suicide, sorcery, spiritualism, and attempts to contact extraterrestrials, atmospheric electricity and radio waves. A man who reported that the men had been trying to contact the planet Mars was held by police for questioning. This man was said to have exercised a powerful influence over the dead men and to have owed them money. According to one report, a ma and a woman were arrested in connection with the case. The men were said to have had a great deal of money with them when they went up the hillside. The notes found on their bodies indicated that they had "taken orange capsules" and were "waiting for the promised sign." When detectives searched Manuel Viana's workshop they found lead from which the masks were apparently made, and a book on scientific spiritualism, with marked passages referring to masks and intense rays of light. The police eventually called off their investigation, having failed to solve the mystery. Detective Idovan Ferreira who led the investigation said, "I have no doubt they died of an experiment with psychic forces, for which they were ill-prepared and which turned out to be fatal."

Three NCOs' watched a strange pulsating light in the night sky. They remarked to each other about it then went to bed in their sleeping bags as they were training in a military camp. A guard then told another story the next day. He said as soon as the NCOs' went to bed he saw a cigar-shaped craft in the ravine to the west of his position. Not knowing what to do, he then yelled out. Only the next day would one of the NCOs' report that he heard him yell out. The next thing the guard said was that three beings (not described) came towards him saying in his mind "don't be afraid we don't want to hurt you". The guard became hysterical and threw an aiming stake at the three humanoids. His next memory was of seeing one of the beings behind him so he ran about a quarter of a mile to another training site; he tried to get some of the other members to come back with him with no success. They calmed him down and told him to wait until daylight. He did so and came back to his position at daylight and said he saw a silver cigar shaped craft in the ravine and thought that everyone else must have been dead (?). The regiment woke up to find no guard on duty and at the same time saw the guard approaching them from the hill crying that he thought that everyone was dead. There were reports of electromagnetic effects on military vehicles after the incident.

Driving after dark, Mr. Sanborn heard a sewing machine like sound and then saw a dark basin-shaped object, 80 ft wide, tilted at a 45 degree angle, which crossed the road. It then turned so that he could see in the tilted basin a horizontal gold-lit dome, at the center of which was "a large man," at least 9 ft tall. After re-crossing the road the UFO came to a stop hovering 5 ft from the ground, and another occupant walked from the center to the edge of the dome. Both occupants wore long black overcoats and broad rimmed hats. Sanborn drove past it; he had it in view for 5 or 6 minutes in all. Afterwards the 78-year old witness experienced a wasting illness, losing more than 50 lb and requiring B12 treatment.

15-year old Frank Earp was playing with two friends beside a disused canal. He admits that they were looking for UFOs. As darkness came, a mist began to rise from the watercourse. This was not unusual. But then a cloud, the size of a fairground dodgem car detached itself in the shape of a doughnut (without a central hole). It drifted towards them. Becoming disturbed they set off for home, quickly breaking into a trot as the apparently intelligent "cloud" pursued them. They could all see it, glowing inside with a strange luminescence. As they approached the edge of the village they decided to stop. Frank was delegated to confront the intruder for they were now close enough to home and could escape, should anything go wrong. Frank turned to find the cloud just 20 feet away. He tried to ask if it was friend or foe, but his words were cut short by one of his friends, clearly terrified, tapping his shoulder and urging, "When I say run---run!" He looked ahead into the gloom and understood the reason for this fear. For there stood a 6-foot furry figure, silhouetted in front of the glowing object. In claw like hands it gripped two red "pencils" and its legs faded into nothingness. The third boy stood only inches from the creature. As the other two fled he called after them, bemused. It later transpired that although he was almost touching the figure he had not seen it. But he had seen the cloud.

The main witness, Mary Cozzens heard shouts from the neighbors and her family outside. Running she watched a huge dark metallic disc-shaped object descending slowly over the area. It had blinking orange-white lights blinking along its perimeter. Helicopters seemed to be following the object but these soon leveled off and left. The craft then hovered silently as everyone including Cozzens and her brothers and mother ran into the house and watched the object from the window. Soon the orange blinking lights detached themselves from the main object and began to land. Terrified the witness hid among the house including Mary who hid in the shower stall. Before she ran into the bathroom she saw several short humanoid figures coming into her yard. As she hid in the shower stall long skinny fingers pulled back the curtain and a tall thin being with large dark eyes looked at her reassuring her that she would be all right that they were there to help. The being was apparently a female and held a long thin device with a small ball shaped object at the end of it. The being wiped a gooey substance on the back of the witness neck and inserted the ball shaped tip into her nose. Her next memory was of floating up the basement stairs, inches above the floor accompanied by her little brother that was being escorted by two little men. She saw her mother screaming in fear begging her not to go with them. But she assured her mother that she was going to be ok. Once inside the object she was accompanied by the tall thin humanoid female most of the time. She was shown what appeared to be star-maps and other apparatuses onboard the object that apparently had to do with the propulsion system. She was apparently given numerous information that she has slowly remembered throughout the years. Her and her brother were eventually brought back to their home around 2200. Most of the area neighbors could not remember the incident days after and Mary suffered from periods of levitation soon after the encounter.

The pregnant witness had stayed up late doing some laundry and had falling asleep when she was suddenly startled awake. At first she laid still trying to discern if someone had entered the house before she made any move. Then in the doorway between the boy's room and her bedroom she saw a glowing white bright orange globe floating about 4 ft above the floor. It appeared to be so hot that it was almost totally white. Slowly she sat up. The object emitted a low hum and when she sat up, it conveyed a mental threat of electrocution if she moved any more (!). She felt it scan her children with beams that she did not consciously saw. Two of the boys were in the room it was in and it scanned her pregnant belly, then a child in another room. It seemed to convey that it discounted the child in the other room, a girl, but took note of the 2 sleeping boys and the infant in the womb, telling her that the baby was a boy. The it began to dim, turning from white to bright orange, to a faded dark orange, becoming transparent, then to gray and finally it disappeared. The witness then got up, looked around but saw nothing, then lie back in bed and quickly fell asleep again.

6-year old Robert Stinson was playing in his front yard when he saw a 50ft in diameter metallic-blue sphere land nearby. According to his mother he was missing for about an hour, but according to Robert he had gone onboard the sphere. Inside he was met by two 7ft tall muscled pterodactyl type humanoids and also saw a bizarre squid-like being that was apparently trapped in some sort of giant crystal. The creature seemed to be some sort of invertebrate, with rather intelligent eyes; the witness felt some sort of psychic energy coming from it. Apparently the two tall humanoids used the creature in the glass container as a source of bio-energy that allowed them to traverse through different dimensions. The tall humanoids communicated via telepathy and told the young witness that they were from the area of the Orion Nebula. The witness did not fully comprehend as he received the information all at once and not in a "linear pattern". The witness apparently saw the pterodactyl type beings once more after the initial encounter.

Jean Soler and several friends had been out camping in an isolated area when Soler decided to go fetch some water at a nearby stream. As he crossed some fields he noticed a bizarre object that appeared to be on the ground in a clearing area not to far away. As he approached the object he noticed that it was a white elongated cylinder shaped contraption, about six meters in length and about 1 meter & a half in height, it was roughly shaped like a bullet or torpedo and rested on two rectangular supports. He saw two lights on the object that seemed to dim as he approached. On top of the object he could see two transparent individual domes separated from each other by about 3 meters. These were opened and he could see what appeared to be black leather like seats inside. Suddenly, from behind the object two men appeared. These two wore shiny white outfits that covered them from head to toe, and helmets with transparent visors. Their suits appeared to be slightly inflated. The men moved as if they were tired or had been sitting for a long time. They stared at the witness with a surprised look on their faces. He described them as tall, about 1.85meters in height, Eurasian features, blond haired, blue eyes, and light tanned skin. At this point a farmer was approaching the scene from a nearby field (it was later determined that he was the owner of the fields). Using his instincts Soler decides to run from the area brushing quickly past the men, looking back he saw them boarding the strange craft which floated up silently and began following Soler. Looking back he could see the two transparent cabins and in each of one, a seated figure staring at him. Running down a path, with the craft closely behind him, Soler suddenly felt an electric shock in his body, causing him a severe pain on the right side of the head, neck, and back. Stunned he stopped, feeling confused, he stopped and begged for the craft to go on and leave him alone. Looking up one more time he saw the two men again which seemed to exchanged a signal between them, at this point the craft rose up at a 90 degree angle shooting away to the nearby pine forest emitting a loud buzzing sound. It was quickly lost from sight behind a nearby mountain. Later when he returned to the site of the landing, Soler found some footprints and other ground traces.

Near the Svartnes Ferry area an anonymous witness experienced total car engine failure. He then noticed a large reddish round object that appeared to be on the road just ahead of the vehicle. Two man-like figures wearing blue clothing and wide belts stepped from behind the object and approached the witness, who by now had stepped out of the vehicle. The witness described the aliens as having yellowish skin and six fingered hands. In apparent perfect Norwegian the aliens spoke to the witness about the poor conditions on earth and man's constant warfare. The humanoids then began to ask several questions on different subjects. The communication was done completely via telepathy. After warning the witness about the bleak future of humanity they walked back to the landed object and boarded it. The UFO then rose and quickly left the area. His vehicle then restarted without any problems.

Manuel Pereira, 15 and Jose Sotuyo, 14 were walking along a path high in the mountains when they saw strange lights maneuvering in the sky. Manuel frantically signaled the UFO with his flashlight, using International Morse Code he sent the following message:
"Friend, please land." He repeated this message several times. A few seconds later they heard a faint whirring sound and the UFO descended to within a few feet from where the boys were standing. The craft settled just above the ground and three long tripod-like supports telescoped downward. The glowing of the UFO dimmed until it was a dull white light, and then a ramp opened and lowered to the ground. Then three tiny man-like figures emerged from the craft and began to walk stiffly down the ramp. The frightened boys were tempted to run but remained there. Just then they heard a loud voice that sounded strangely metallic speak: "Do not fear us. Stay and talk." Manuel and Jose, speechless, nodded. They stared in utter astonishment as the three little men in their suits of shiny brass-like material came toward them. A voice that seemed to come from all directions at once, asked them: "What are you?" The boys asked the little men where they were from but the question was ignored. For nearly an hour the questioning continued. The boys answered whatever the voice asked but whenever they asked a question they got no reply. Finally the voice inquired, "Would you like to come aboard our space craft?" Both boys agreed to go inside. The little men in their gleaming brass-colored uniforms and pear shaped helmets led the way up the ramp. They kept turning around as if looking to see if the boys were following. Their features in the helmets were obscured because of a cloudy vapor, which they seemed to be breathing so the boys had no idea what they really looked like. When they entered the craft they were surprised at the roominess of the interior. All around the craft were hexagon shaped sections like small cubicles. Tiny lights and buttons were to be seen on a console panel in the exact center. They saw no other little beings, although they had a strong feeling that other eyes were closely observing them. The little men asked the boys if they would like to go with them, and added that they would not be harmed. But the boys replied that their parents would be worried. After several more questions by the little men, the craft began to make a loud humming sound and the voice announced that it was time to leave, that perhaps they would visit them again. Manuel asked for a souvenir from them to prove their encounter. There was a peculiar high pitched humming noise and one of the little men came forward and held a small cylinder in his hand. They were told to take it as a token, that it was a small hand held light, that whenever they wished for the light to come on, they merely had to squeeze it. The little men demonstrated. There was a brilliant light form the lens. Manuel removed its own flashlight and gave it to the little men, as an exchange. Several minutes later on the ground the boys watched the saucer-shaped object rise up noiselessly and vanish in a wink. Just as the boys began to hurry toward their homes several helicopters swooped down from the night skies overhead, playing searchlights over the area. At the same time three Army jeeps came down the path at breakneck speed. They were interrogated numerous times by the military personnel and their strange flashlight device was examined and then taken away. Manuel Pereira and Jose Sotuyo vanished from their homes about a week before Christmas 1966, and were never seen nor heard from again.

A local teacher reported that flying saucers had been observed many times in the area and also around Island Lake, often landing and leaving behind imprints in the muskeg and grass. In addition, the teacher had been told of the "little people" often associated with these objects. These "people" were about a meter in height, dark-skinned, and wore close fitting dark coveralls suits with hoods. They carried a rod that gave off a beam of light, and they often "poked about" in the mud for unknown reasons. Along with this, there were rumors of some of these "aliens" trying to snatch children in their sleep, causing more than a little fear in the area; some people were afraid to leave their homes at night.

Ranch hand, Bill Hurtski was rounding up some cattle on a ranch northwest of Cochrane and was riding past a small valley when his horse suddenly chided, acting nervous and disturbed. Thinking that it could have been the dog he looked around but did not see the animal but instead clearly saw an object on the ground nearby, which he had not seen before. The object resembled an airplane fuselage with setback wings, like a hawk. It was about 15 ft in length, with a 12 ft wingspan, and about 4 ½ to 5ft in height, it had what appeared to be a waffle-like texture section on the bottom with the top silvery in color and a Plexi-glass dome on top. He got very close to the object and could clearly see inside the dome. He could see a mass of dials and switches and what appeared to be a television screen on a dashboard. There were five dials on top in a row and four on the bottom and numerous clear knob-like protrusions and switches. There appeared to be something written on the knobs. He could also see two small bucket-seats with a control "stick" with a ball at the end, and he could also see seatbelts made out of a very fine weaved material. There was what appeared to be fluorescent lighting inside the cabin. There was a door that was opened about 2 inches. The witness rode around the object on his horse and saw many details. He didn't see any undercarriage or apparent landing gear. The object was completely seamless. He didn't see any type of identification or markings on the craft. He suddenly felt fear and did not get any closer to the craft to check for additional details. He noticed a funnel-like protrusion on the side that appeared to be an exhaust. The witness did not see any occupants anywhere and left to round up the rest of the cattle. Soon after there was a snowstorm and he never returned to the site.

She peered through the curtains and saw a large flaming object hovering over the trees in her front yard. She immediately felt terrified and had "an electrical sensation" over her body. (She previously felt this sensation when a lighting strike hit a tree close to her house). No lighting was present on the night of the sighting. She also smelled a strong ozone odor. She only watched the object for about 20 seconds and ran upstairs quite terrified. She tried to wake her mother but could not. She did not sleep the rest of the night and the next morning she saw her family at breakfast. None of her family members knew that anything happened. She was afraid to investigate the area where the object had been sighted. Later the witness began having dreams (flash backs?) of encountering large gray creatures that would walk through walls.

Looking out the window, she saw an oval shaped object with portholes & red, green, & white lights revolving around it. It was 75 ft in diameter & 100 ft up. She woke her husband, who also saw it, and called her married daughter, Mrs Janet Emery, a mile away; the Emerys also saw it, and a neighbor with binoculars could see that it had square windows glowing yellow. Janet went outdoors & saw the UFO eject a red ball, which maneuvered while the first UFO took off southward. The red ball flew 75-100 ft over Jane's head; it was oval, and its underside was shiny like aluminum foil; it was "bigger than my cottage and yard combined." She also smelled the garbage like odor. Mrs Steward went to bed, the odor still in the house. After some time, the room was filled for an instant with brilliant white light; then this vanished, and a globe of light about 21" in diameter appeared at the foot of her bed. Inside this globe were 5 "non-human, hairless heads" with oval, sunken eyes. "Instead of noses, there were slits, and they had no mouths."

It had an upper turret that rotated slowly…that part had some windows that might have been eight sided. The shape of the craft was similar to a lid on a teapot…the top being small and cylindrical. It was supported by legs, he thinks 3. It had a ladder from the center underside down to the ground, a distance of about 4ft to the ground. The total size of the craft was 12 to 15 feet across and maybe 6 or 7 ft high. It made little or no sound. Apparently his older brother saw it too, and both their memories were apparently erased until almost 40 years later when they remembered the event. However they do not remember seeing any occupants or being taken aboard the craft.

Dean Fagerstrom, a soldier at the time, was sitting in his apartment working on the lottery numbers sequence when he suddenly had a feeling that he was not alone. He walked around and did not find anyone, then returned back to his seat and resumed working on the board. As he looked at the board a human-like face began to appear, the face began filling up the board and became clearer, now he was able to see two faces instead of one, those of a man and a woman. A bluish shimmer surrounded the faces. The man's face had tawny hair and the woman's hair was slightly darker and shorter. Both beings then communicated by voice with the witness identifying themselves and stating that there would be further contacts.

His farm is located a few hundred yards from the McDaniel home (Mothman witness) and is on the banks of the Ohio River. When he came out of the house to investigate, the dark hairy forms ran off erect towards the river, disappearing into the thicket.

Mrs. Ralph Butler and an unidentified lady friend were standing in a field outside of town watching a familiar sight---what they called little flashers: bright, blinking lights that danced around the sky almost every night. Suddenly one of the objects descended rapidly and hovered at the far end of the field where they stood, swinging back and forth a few feet above the ground. Colored lights flickered around its glowing rim. One of the women let out a little gasp and crumpled to her knees in a trance-like daze. Mrs. Butler, reached for her, but she was immobile, her head dipped down. A strange voice, stilted and metallic, came spasmodically from her lips. "What …is …your…time…cycle?" the voice asked. Mrs. Butler recovered from her surprise and tried to explain how we measured minutes, hours, and days. "What…constitutes…a…day…and…what…constitutes…a…night?" the voice continued. "A day is approximately twelve hours long---and a night is twelve hours long," Mrs. Butler replied. There were a few more innocuous questions, and then the other woman came out of the trance.

In the country close to the above named village a flying object reportedly crashed and an extraterrestrial being was extracted from the wreckage. The event was soon silenced, pretending that the crash was the result of a highly secret military test. The body, partially burned, was said to have been an Air Force pilot. They claimed that it had been deformed due to the heat. Under cover of night the military authorities were able to cover up the UFO crash. The extraterrestrial being was immediately taken to Belgrade in an Army ambulance and in the capital taken to a military hospital. In a few hours some of the most important Yugoslav scientists began to examine the corpse. Among those scientists present, three were doctors that performed the autopsy, surgeon Andrej Zobol, and two pathologists Nikola Julic and Zoran Frederic. The three were employed by the government. In 1999 pictures of the alleged autopsy were distributed by the nephew of one of the doctors that is now living in Slovenia. (At that time Yugoslavia though Socialist was not aligned and was considered neutral).

Woodrow Derenberger was driving his panel truck home in Mineral Wells West Virginia and was rearing the state Route 47 exit when he noticed a metallic gray object resting on the highway in front of him. He later described it as being somewhat similar to "the shape of a glass chimney of an old fashioned kerosene lamp lying on its side with a dome-like top." One peculiar aspect of the craft was that it did not touch the ground, but floated eight to ten inches above the road. Derenberger claimed that a tall man climbed out of the hovering craft and started walking toward his truck. As the stranger approached, the alien craft immediately climbed into the air to a height of approximately 50 feet. The man appeared to be between 35 and 40 years old. He was fairly tall, and looked as if he weighed about 185 pounds. He had a dark complexion and dark brown hair that was combed straight back. His dark and shimmering clothing was covered partially by some sort of overcoat. The stranger reassured Derenberger that he would not be harmed and not to be frightened---but oddly, his lips were not moving at all. The peculiar looking man was apparently communicating telepathically. (Although this is rather common in contemporary Contactee accounts, a statement such as this was not usually associated with UFO cases of the time.) After introducing himself as "Indrid Cold," the visitor said that he was from "a country less powerful" than the United States. Cold held a lengthy conversation with Derenberger, discussing topics such as politics, West Virginia climate, and family ties. All the while the visitor flashed a beaming smile, keeping his arms crossed with his hands under his armpits. This was a bit distracting at first, but no more so than conducting a conversation with somebody who did not move his lips when he spoke. At the end of the conversation, Cold told Derenberger that "at a correct and proper time, all of this would be revealed." The visitor then turned away from the truck and walked back to the craft, which by this time had once again settled to its former position. Derenberger claimed that he saw the arm of an unseen second occupant appear from the doorway of the craft to help Cold in. The object then flew away at an incredible rate of speed. As soon as the UFO was out of sight Derenberger started his vehicle and traveled---also at a fabulous rate of speed---directly home. After calming down and explaining his unbelievable experience to his wife and children, Derenberger called the authorities and the local media. Derenberger pointed out that Indrid Cold repeated to following sentence to him several times, "We eat, breathe, and sleep, and bleed even as you do" "We wish you no harm. We wish you nothing but happiness."

The witness was out behind her building getting ready to go home when there was a sudden flash directly above her. A large cylinder shape object then appeared and landed on the nearby parking lot. The object was completely silent and the witness was unable to move as two men descended from the object and walked towards her. The men were normal looking but heavily tanned with pointed noses, pointed chins, and high cheekbones, they wore coverall like uniforms. They asked the witness several mundane questions using a singsong high-pitched voice; they then walked back to their craft, which took off at high speed. The witness lived in a farm and had been having problems with missing cattle around the same time.

They stopped the car and saw a man emerged from the object and walk over to them. The man was human looking and was grinning broadly. He was wearing a black coat and kept his arms folded out of sight under his armpits. The black-garbed stranger asked them several pointless questions before returning to the dark cylinder shaped craft, which quickly rose and disappeared into the sky. This incident occurred on the same night as the Woodrow Derenberger contact-landing case in the same general area.

It was a big as a house, & shaped like a ball with a ring around it (Saturn shaped); in the middle were brightly white-lit windows. Kathleen could see in these windows one man & two women, who appeared to be on different floors. The man, muscular in build, was staring directly at her, which frightened her; he was manipulating something like a steering wheel. The woman who was on the lower level handed him a small object "like a coup of coffee."

Newell Partridge was sitting at home when suddenly the TV blanked out. A real fine herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and at the same time the set started a loud whining noise, winding up to a high pitch, peaking and breaking off, as if you were on a musical scale. It sounded like a generator winding up. Outside on the porch, his dog Bandit began wailing. Partridge picked up a flashlight and went outside to investigate. The dog was sitting at the end of the porch, howling down toward the hay barn in the bottom. Partridge shined the light in that direction, and it picked up two red circles, or eyes, which looked like bicycle reflectors. There was something about the eyes that was difficult to explain. The eyes were huge, plainly visible at a distance of 150 yards. As soon as the flashlight picked out the "eyes" Bandit snarled and ran toward them. A "cold chill" swept over the man and he felt a wave of fear, which kept him from following the dog. That night he slept with a loaded gun beside his bed. The next day he went looking for his dog. They found tracks. At the approximate position of the "eyes" he found a large number of dog tracks. The tracks were going in a circle, as if the dog had been chasing his tail. Then the tracks vanished, the dog was never seen again.

Two police officers, C. Hutchins & A. Huskey, were driving in an outlying section of Gaffney known as the West Buford Street Extension when as they neared a right angle bend in the road, they suddenly saw a metallic object directly in front of them. This object was descending when they first saw it, Hutchins said, and was about twenty feet above the ground. He described it as being spherical, like a ball, with a wide, flat rim around it. There were no lights or portholes visible on it. It was completely dark, reflecting a dull gold color in the headlights of the police car. The car did not stall. As the object settled to within a few feet of the ground, both men gout out of their car in a state of benumbed amazement. Later Hutchins estimated that the object must have been about twenty ft in diameter. A small door suddenly opened noiselessly on the underside of the sphere, he said, and a short ladder, four to six feet long, dropped down. White light poured out of the opening, but neither man could see anything in the interior. A figure appeared in the doorway, descended the ladder, and walked slowly and deliberately toward the two police officers. When the figure reached a point about fifteen to twenty feet from the two men, it stopped. "He didn't move stiffly," officer Hutchins said. "He moved just like anybody else, but kind of slow…like he was taking his time. He wasn't scared of us or anything like that." In appearance, the humanoid was about the size of a twelve-year-old boy, maybe four feet. He wore no helmet or headgear and was dressed in a gold suit with no buttons or zippers. His costume was shiny, like metal, in the reflection of the headlights, it was not self-luminous. The humanoid asked numerous questions and ignored the witnesses when they asked any questions. Hutchins could not remember seeing the feet of the creature. It was standing on high grass and the feet must have been hidden. Both men could not really remember the full context of the "conversation". Hutchins claimed the alien spoke perfect English, "Didn't have any accent or anything. He acted like he knew exactly what he was saying and doing…didn't make any quick moves or false moves. He just stood there and talked to the witnesses." He wanted to know why both me were dressed alike. His speech was very precise. He pronounced each work very carefully. When asked where he was from he just laughed. The meeting was brief, perhaps only 2 or 3 minutes. Then, Hutchins say, the creature announced, "I…will…return…in…two…days" he turned, walked slowly back to the ladder and climbed into the object. The door closed quietly and the craft began to whirr, a soft whirring sound, like an engine with a muffler on it. The object rose slowly and vanished into the sky. A local councilman found numerous footprints at the site where the little man had stood. There was no return visit by the alien.

An American nuclear physicist was driving south with his family along a Louisiana road, the weather was overcast and it was raining. The witness, who is a professor of physics and does nuclear research, and who as a result, is a very well qualified witness, had reached a point north of Haynesville when he noticed a pulsating dome of light resembling the "glow of a city." Its color went from a dime reddish light to a bright orange. At one point, its luminosity rose so much that it became brighter than the car headlights. So intense was the white illumination that the two children who were sleeping in the back woke up and with the physicist's wife, observed what followed. The light was emitted by a source that was stationary and below the treetops---at, or close to, ground level---some distance into the forest. Concern for his family's safety made the witness drive way. But he did make a quick estimate of the amount of energy represented by the light, and it turned out to be a fairly impressive source of radiation, impressive enough to make him return to the location the next day, bearing a scintillometer with him. He determined the probable position of the object, which had been about one mile from his car at the closest point. Then he made some inquiries in the area. The investigations had two results. First while walking in the forest, he noticed that for some distance around the spot where the source of light had been, animal life had simply vanished. There were no squirrels, birds, and even no insects---and as a hunter, he was quite familiar with the Louisiana fauna. Second, he gathered several reports by local people who had seen the light and claims by farmers that important loss of cattle had occurred in the same period.

They mentioned that the tribe living there was secretive and was thought to be working with some "Americans" up there. Soon as he explored the area several Indians armed with crude hand made weapons approached him. He was then conducted to a small village of plastic like cones, resembling American Indian teepees, but the material was firm, like metal. There he saw a couple of persons dressed in calf-length toga like garments. They were light skinned and seemed to be of a white race stock. Pallmann addressed them in English, which they seemed not to understand. He tried other languages without any results. Then one of them went in a hut for something and came out with a translating device. It was adjusted and they began to understand him. These Aryan looking light skinned humans told him that they came from a planet much like Earth in many respects. They were operating this plantation site with local Indians in an attempt to develop hardier and higher yield species of plants and fruits. Pallmann stayed with them for nearly a month.

As they came under attack, a C-130 gun ship called "Puff the Magic Dragon" flew just outside their position and was working out their guns. It looked like fire coming from a hose in the dark. The next morning the other gunners and the witness decided to rearrange out-linked ammo to have all the tracers together to give the same effect as the night before. That afternoon they went out on a reckon mission. As they approached the landing zone they opened up with their machine guns. The LZ (landing zone) was large and mostly clear waist high dried grass. As they landed they received enemy fire. Small fires started all over from their tracer rounds. He heard on the intercom that a helicopter behind them was down with main rotor problems and fires had them enveloped, his captain ordered him to go back with a "fire bottle" and see if he could help. The witness grabbed the bottle but did not think to take his rifle. As he ran to their position the crew chief waved him back. It seems like the rotor was fine and they were about to take off. As he ran back he became disoriented, and became lost. As he ran around looking he heard someone shout "Dung Li" which means stop or halt in Vietnamese. He looked around and saw a North Vietnamese soldier pointing his AK at him. Feeling helpless, since he was completely unarmed he dropped to his knees, hands up. At the same time the soldier spoke to him things that he could not understand. As the soldier backed up, the witness knew he was going to die. From fear he then felt overwhelming sadness. As his whole life past in front of his eyes, he just hoped that it did not hurt so much. Suddenly a total peace came over him, a feeling he could not describe. He then heard a loud crack. He jumped up thinking that he had been shot. He heard a thump and saw the enemy soldier fall to the ground. As he looked up, he saw the tallest person he had ever seen. He saw what appeared to be a GI about 7 or 8 ft tall. He just stood there motionless, perfect in dress, incredibly with no soil marks or sweat, a perfect looking figure. His eyes shaded by the helmet showed through; an aura appeared to be all around him. He then spoke to the witness clearly. He told him that it was Ok that he was going to be safe. He added: "Thomas, go back to your bird." The witness realized that the stranger's lips never moved, apparently he had communicated with him telepathically. Thomas jumped up and ran to his "bird" (helicopter). As they lifted up, he looked down to see the dead enemy soldier, but no sign of the giant figure. He never mentioned what really happened to anyone for over 30 years.

Comments: Do we have here some kind of divine intervention? The height of the stranger is significant. Was the witness somehow not meant to die on that fateful day?
