The witness a supervisor at a local rubber factory was called outside by one of his men who had been smoking a cigarette. Once outside the man pointed up and to the left. They both saw some type of craft moving very slowly from the northwest to the southeast. There were a number of slanted downward windows in the craft. They could see several figures moving about and some were apparently looking down out of the windows. The background behind the figures was red, making the figures look like silhouettes. The strange thing about the craft was the rather bobbing motion it had while moving. They watched the object for about 10 minutes until the craft drifted out of sight.

Location. Near Norton Air Force Base, California
Date: 1973 Time: unknown
The witness was employed by the Air Force as a photographer. One day he received unexpected news that his security clearance had been upgraded. A few weeks later, he and another military photographer were flown for a temporary duty assignment to Norton Air Force base. As they landed they were taken on a two-hour drive inside an Air Force vehicle with blacked out windows. They finally arrived at their destination, which turned out to be inside an underground installation. They were ordered to disrobe and given white smocks to wear. The main witness was taken to a room, which contained a disc shaped craft suspended in a heavy net hanging from a large crane. The disc was about 30 feet in diameter and had a small opening on the side. The witness was lifted up to the opening and put inside. He was shocked to see that the inside looked to be about 10 times the size of the outside. Disoriented he poked his head back outside to check the size which appeared to be about 35 ft in diameter only. He continued to photograph the inside of the disc and was later taken to photograph actual alien bodies dressed in blue jumpsuits. At that point, he became ill and the other photographer was called in to complete the assignment.

A man working on his ham radio equipment received a strange message. After hearing peculiar static a metallic voice speaking in Italian communicated with him. He was told to maintain the communication a secret. Later he was given instructions to go to a wooded area near his home. At the rendezvous site he encountered a landed metallic circular object. Next to the craft stood three normal looking men, the men wore "asbestos" type suits and helmets with antennae. The beings promised to return but never did.

Richard Kilburn was returning home along a remote road when he suddenly experienced a memory lapse. He only had fragmentary memories of an event. Under hypnosis he recalled seeing two lights descend from the sky and land nearby, his vehicle suddenly veered off the road and stopped. He got out of the vehicle and heard a sound, he then saw four or five humanoids coming over a nearby fence and approach him. The beings were very short and thin, hairless with large heads shaped like inverted teardrops, large black walnut shaped eyes, small noses, slit mouths, no ears and white putty like skin. They had long tube like fingers and wore black tight fitting suits and gloves and were clumsy when they moved. One that seemed to be the leader gave directions by gestures while another being began digging a hole. The witness was seized by a clamp like device and taken to a luminous white egg shaped craft sitting on a platform of girders and making a humming sound. He was escorted up a tube like ramp into the object and entered a luminous white domed room and next found himself on a table wearing only a diaper like cloth. A device came down from the ceiling and a needle like device ran along his back. He was then given an extensive physical examination by several of the beings, with different devices. He later lost consciousness and found himself driving home in his vehicle.

Mike Shea was driving toward Olney to meet a friend when about 15 minutes outside of Baltimore he noticed a beam of light strike a barn 150 feet from his car. He then saw a huge hovering object with a ring of alternating red & yellow lights. The object was totally silent. When the beam of light shut off Shea became fearful. He felt something coming up behind him. Suddenly he saw the object overhead and felt an electric current running down his spine. The next thing he knew he was feeling quite relaxed and was approaching his destination. He had somehow lost two hours of time. Years later under hypnotic regression he remembered seeing four figures standing at the side of the road. He then realized the figures were creatures dressed in a black kind of plastic armor. They had black faces and appeared to be wearing helmets with a line down the middle that came to a point. The beings looked like huge grasshoppers with long arms and bowed legs. Three of the creatures were large. The fourth one was small and wore a black silky suit with a zipper up the front, somehow this being seemed "ancient" to the witness. He then saw a large shiny craft hovering nearby emitting a low whirring sound and a smaller craft on the ground. Eventually he was taken inside one of the crafts, put on a table, and examined. Various organic samples were collected from his body.

The witness had just returned to her home from school and had walked into her garden. Suddenly she looked up and noticed a disc-shaped object, about 15 meters above her, descending slowly towards the ground. The object was smooth, light metallic in color ringed with windows. As it reached to about 12 meters above ground the object stopped and the windows rotated around the object's axis. Next the object descended slowly and landed on her neighbor's rye field. This all occurred within a minute. The witness became frightened and hid in her potato field looking at the UFO from time to time. She was about 60 meters away from the object. She estimated the object to have been about 12 meters in diameter and about 2.5m in height. Soon 2 or 3 humanoids came out of the object. These were about 1.5 to 1.8 meters in height. Their silhouettes were thin and subtle. They wore silvery one-piece suits and helmets; their faces were not visible. The humanoids moved around the UFO and the witness thought that they were "measuring" something. She did not hear the humanoids speaking. They apparently did not see the witness or pay any attention to her. She watched the humanoids for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then the humanoids entered the UFO, it then rose, stopped in mid-air and took with at tremendous speed. An hour later other family members arrived at the house and the witness told them about what occurred. The next day the witness and her sister visited the landing site. There they found what now is would be called a "Crop Circle", about 15m in diameter and was located exactly on the spot where the UFO had landed. In the center of the circle they found a small hole. There were no traces of burning or broken plants inside the "Agro-formation." Other locals were fearful of the crop circle and did not visit the site.

He was lying on a table and there, two entities nearby, one of which was bending over him, and passing a small rod-like instrument over his stomach and chest. The figure's face was 'silvery" with no facial features, appearing like a mask of metal. Without speaking, Smith "heard" him tell the others "this one has some kind of malady." Smith looked around and "knew" that the object he was on was "run" by "magnetic electrical force, coming from rods sticking in a bunch of crystals or a crystal like substance nearby." When he awoke, he was lying on the carpet in the living room. He had shaved before retiring, but had what appeared to be two days growth of beard on his face.

During a get together at his home in which a number of adults had gathered for food and drink the 10-year old witness felt bored and stepped outside and sat on the steps leading to the entrance of the house. There was a full moon that night. Suddenly he looked at the gate entrance and saw a very tall thin figure, silvery in color with a strangely shaped head, resembling that of the classic head of the Egyptian queen Nefertitti. The strange figure entered the yard and began to walk towards the witness, without making any sound as it stepped over the gravel path. Terrified the young man ran inside and hid, after awhile he looked outside again but did not see anything. Thinking that whatever it had been was not hiding in the shrubs which surrounded the house the witness began poking into the shrubs with a stick, at one point he thought he touched something and dropped the stick and ran back inside. He told the gathered adults what had happened but was not believed except for a couple of people that actually went outside and looked around but did not see anything.

A girl of about 7-years of age had seen what she described as a flying saucer with lights pass by her window several times, some weeks later she saw what she described as Santa Claus in her house. She was very adamant about the sighting, several weeks following she was asleep in her bedroom when she was awakened by a noise she described as a "popping" sound, similar to the sound of a popcorn popper. The sound was coming from a small closet with a very small door in her bedroom. She felt compelled to open the door and upon doing so she saw what she described as an alien. It had a large pear-shaped head, pointed chin, large dark Asian appearing eyes, hairless head, very tan skin, about 4 ft tall, and very frail looking. It was wearing a tight-fitting, one piece uniform that was made out of a very soft tan material, somewhat like very fine thin leather. The being was holding a box to her forehead, there was a flash of light and she awoke in her bed the next morning. She said she never felt fear, and named the creature the "Popcorn Man". This being visited her at least 2 other times, and each time the same series of events took place. She also said that her cat, which always slept with her, was never awaked during the being's visits. She was able to recall these memories unaided by hypnosis.

She thought her children were playing a little game of "made ya look" but willing to go with the flow she climbed into the back seat to see for herself. Sure enough there was a flying saucer that appeared to be following the car. They could see two human looking figures wearing what looked like "wet suits" inside a glass dome like structure on the craft. The witness immediately yelled at everybody to wave since she wanted to see how many fingers the figures had. The figures waved back and she counted five fingers. At this point the driver pulled the car over and was also astonished at the object and its occupants. The craft was a classic saucer shape with strobe lights on the underside and it made no noise as it hovered for a few moments and then disappeared back towards the base. The occupants of a nearby apartment complex had also apparently seen the object.

One night the main witness was leaving the front yard and looked up to see an orange star, it then moved very fast over the mountain top and then dropped behind the mountain and disappeared. A week later she had the urge to go outside. She went out and looked at the stars and saw a large white "moon" rotating clockwise. She ran inside and told her husband to come and look. She grabbed the binoculars, and both stood there looking at this moon-like object going slowly across the sky spinning clockwise. Soon a jet came into view and flew behind the moon, and came out leaving the moon behind. Soon she became interested in pyramids, ancient cultures, etc. She also craved for information on UFOs almost obsessed. She was then hypnotically regressed by Dr. Leo Sprinkle and she was able to remember that the "moon" was really a bell-shaped craft. Somehow when this ship landed on her front yard she didn't seem scared. Her husband had been put in some type of suspended animation. A hatchway then opened on the ship and a ramp came out of it. She remembered walking toward the ship and up the ramp. She didn't see the small aliens next to her but she knew they were there. They must have beamed down before the ship landed. She was then led down a hallway into a large room. There were seven chairs in a half circle and on each chair sat a little alien, these were small gray colored with large oval shaped heads and black slanted eyes, except for one, the leader, he was taller by a foot, 41/2 to 5 feet. He had two antennas sticking out of his forehead. Soon two beings led her to a platform and then to a black box in the middle. She stood on the black box and then got off. She seemed to know that to do. Next she remembers standing next to the black box which had raised up. The seven little beings sitting in chairs around her just stared at her, she stared back. Next she remembers seeing the leader in the back motion to her to come to him. She walked over to him and he asked her why haven't she had been doing her work (?). He seemed very upset with her. He then said, "You will soon be doing what you are here for." He said that her mission was to help people understand the laws of the Universe and to help the people not to be afraid of the coming New Age. The leader moved his lips when he talked to her. Next she was shown a control panel and a view screen. Next she was looking out the window of the ship. And she could remember was seeing a red colored planet. And next she was walking on this red sand and looked at pyramids floating in the air. They seemed to have life of their own and they shone brightly with life. Their size was about 12 feet in length, and 7 to 8 feet in width. This is the extent of her memory under regression.

The two humanoids wore black outfits and had very pale features, and short white curly hair. The witness was unable to move and as the bottom of the craft was about to strike him, a door opened. Then a powerful blast of air sucked him inside the object. Inside he noticed a strong odor resembling propane gas, he immediately lost consciousness.

As they were busy putting in their traps, they heard a blood-curling scream. It sounded at first like a wild man screaming in the bushes right next to them. In a state of panic the witnesses began to run. They reached to the top of the hill, running down a little trail, and then came to a curve in the path. As they entered the curve, they all stopped dead in their tracks. An 8-foot tall man was walking down the trail, heading right for them. He was naked except for a cloth around his waist. They turned and ran back to the river. As he stumbled down the side of the embankment, a giant woman stepped out from behind a tree. She must have been at least seven feet tall. Turning downriver they ran until they came out of the ravine safely. Giant footprints were found at the site.

Tom Campbell and his fellow musicians on leaving Jordan had a nighttime encounter. He had no recollection of the events until years later. The four musicians had just finished a gig and were busy packing their gear into the van when a stranger whom they had not noticed at the party approached and asked for a lift home. They agreed to let him accompany them. Finally, loading the last of the instruments on board all climbed in and set off for home. For some unexplainable reason they took a service road that bordered the Queen Elizabeth Highway on the north and Lake Ontario on the south. Close to Charles Paley Park the driver saw lights up ahead and thought that there had probably been an accident. Upon stopping, those in the rear, including Tom were curious as to what had happened. To which the driver replied, "I think you had better take a look at this." Upon doing so they were astonished to see a saucer sitting in the middle of the road. Attempting to turn around the driver found that despite his very best efforts, he couldn't turn. Even worse the van appeared to be floating sideways towards the saucer. The drummer who was in the passenger seat up front, suggested to the driver putting his foot on the brake. Tom noticed that there appeared to be no road, vehicle contact. The van came to a halt within thirty feet of the craft. Soon they saw what appeared to be small figures getting out of the craft. The next thing that was heard was the door handle on the driver's side rattling. Tom could hear footsteps moving down alongside the van to the rear door. At the same time he saw the head of the alien pass the side window. It had white cream-colored skin with black eyes. Suddenly the mysterious hitchhiker leant forward and opened it. When he did so the occupants saw four aliens looking in. One promptly climbed in, yet his head did not reach the ceiling of the van. In the dim light his features were not very clear. It was apparent he had no ears, and a small mouth. His facial muscle showed concern, probably because Tom was contemplating attacking them, but was unable to move. The alien telepathically informed him that his hostile thoughts made him concerned for the safety of his crew. That it was not their intention to harm the band members and their mission was one of peace. They wanted to examine three members of the group. At that point the alien "captain" turned around and caught his foot in the tripod of the snare drum, which promptly rolled out onto the road. One of the crewmembers picked it up and returned it to the van. Three of the band members and the aliens passed down the side of the van and entered the saucer through an egg-shaped doorway, steps were visible and a hallway further on the curve to the left. Entering the craft they saw three chrome cots on wheels. At which point they were asked to undress and then sit on the cots. Soon Tom saw one of the little humanoids wheeling a cart over towards him with what looked like a tray of instruments on it. Some looked like dental probes, and lights. Soon the three captives were taken into separate rooms in which the aliens collected different body samples. Later the three band members were escorted to the door and the bass player was sent. Later getting into the van everyone sat like zombies and also, the stranger that had hitchhiked the ride was gone. Later they drove home. Most of their memories were retrieved years later under hypnosis.

Tamara Nikolayevna waited for her husband to return from work when suddenly the door to the apartment was thrown wide open. At the door stood an unknown and beautiful looking man with blue eyes, which quickly entered the apartment. The stranger was dressed in a bright blue, tightly fitting tricot outfit. He did not speak only looked around apparently inspecting the premises. He briefly sat down on the bed then arose and left the same way he came in. Around the same time she was visited by another man-like stranger, this one dressed in black. He sat directly in front of Tamara and struck her across the chest once and then left. (!) Frightened, Tamara consulted local psychiatrists but was judged sane.

The witness who was only 3 years old at the time remembers having his eyes partially shut and he thinks he pretended to sleep but could still see the whole episode (abduction?) through his partial closed eyes. The craft was no more than 10-20 feet in diameter and saucer shaped and sitting in his neighbor's driveway. Even at 3 years of age he can remember that after entering the craft everything went blank. He does remember the beings distinctly. They were classic examples of what are now known as the grays. They had big heads, big slanted eyes, long arms, and were 3 to 4 ft tall at most.

Several witnesses returning from their Christmas vacation were driving an old Valiant car and had just passed the Sussex Inlet turn off when they noticed an approaching light ahead. The object, perceived as a bright light, appeared to reverse direction and began to travel alongside the car. The large object maintained a parallel course to the vehicle for the next 24 kilometers. The object was described as a large disc shaped craft with what appeared to be lighted windows along its length. There appeared to be a searchlight beam that rotated around the bottom of the object. At least one of the witnesses, an army officer, who was very close to the craft, reported seeing figures at the windows of the object.

An anonymous Captain assigned as a watch commander at the base was made aware that sensors surrounding one of the missile silos recorded a rapid rise in ground temperature within the space of 5-15 minutes. Simultaneously all the sensors on the perimeter fences showed that whatever was occurring had not been initiated by something crossing the fences nor had any of the ground sensors indicated anything had "walked" by ground passage up to the missile site. He was told that the missile silo cover had been set aside and that "crew" (not described) from an unknown craft broke into the missile silo and some of the crew were examining the circuitry of the ballistic missile. At least one observer on the US military reaction team arrived to see the "crew" scampering aboard a craft. Apparently fighters were then scrambled and then the radar target appeared on the radar scopes within a few moments of the reaction team's radioed report. It was traveling straight up at a speed in excess to 50,000 miles an hour. It disappeared by moving outside the range of the radar the NORAD unit was using.

The main witness (stationed at Miramar Naval Air Station at the time) and his wife and infant son were returning to the Naval Station from Albany Oregon. Highway 101 was closed due to a land slide, so they had to take a construction detour. Soon they saw 3 large yellowish glowing lights below their position while driving on the auxiliary road. All three lights were equally spaced apart. The witness stopped on the shoulder of the road and proceeded down a small slope, a distance of approximately 100 to 150 feet. Upon approached the lights, he now realized that they were positioned above him by a distance of approximately 30 feet. As he approached the source of the lights, he walked into the side of a huge "thing". The side of this object was coated or made of some material which seemed to absorb light. After a couple of minutes when his eyes adjusted to the light being emitted from above and his flashlight he could ascertain the general shape of the object. It reminded him of the shape of a nuclear missile submarine. He could just make out the outlines of the object. It had the similar slope from the top the leading edge at the bottom. The bottom reminded him of the leading edge on naval aircraft. The main difference was when he looked underneath it, it was completely flat and a darker black color underneath, his distinct impression was the coloring was caused by heat exhaust. When he held his flashlight beam within 6 inches of the side or bottom of this object he could see what appeared to be material which was smooth and cold like metal, but looking more like rock, like when looking into the crack of certain geodes, with a sparkling effect. He was standing next to it. He then realized that the lights were actually large domes made of either glass or some kind of crystalline material, which appeared to be at least 12 ft high and approximately 8 to 10 feet across. Large enough he could have stood up in them, (he is 6 ft tall). The bottom edge of the object was at his shoulder height. When he looked underneath it he was stunned to see that there wasn't any type of landing gear or structural support holding it up. There was no sound or vibration of any kind coming from the object. His best guess on the size of it was equal to 2 or 3 railroad box cars hooked together. The top point where the domes were positioned was at least 30 or 40 ft above him. From his position it was hard to determine the exact shape of the object. Although his main impression was that the object was shaped more like a cylinder than round. He was quite shaken about the object being fixed above the ground, it wasn't actually flying or floating, and it was just there, rigid in one spot. After about 10 minutes he heard some rather disturbing sounds coming from the opposite side which kind of sounded like a scurrying noise and his fear turned into panic, at which point he departed the scene immediately in a panicked state.

An unidentified youth, driving on Route 18 approximately 13 miles south of Gaffney, saw a domed UFO sitting on the highway ahead, supported by three legs and flashing various colored lights. Thinking at first it was an accident, he slowed his car. Standing around the object were about a dozen "men" of normal height, dressed in white coveralls; they wore gloves, and their heads were bare. Each had "jet-black" hair and faces "the color of Caucasians." On the uniforms were belts, buckles and buttons and the beings stood in place as the car approached, those facing another direction turning slowly to observe the witness car. They appeared to the witness to be seen through something similar to invisible waves of heat, appearing to "sort of wiggle like a worm." The lights on the object were all colors and the object itself glowed a darkish yellow, the color of an incandescent bulb. On a side away from the witness he observed what appeared to be stairs that seemed to be affixed to a door that swung downward. He said he would have driven under the object had the men not been standing in the spot; the object was large enough to span the highway so that no car could have passed around it. The youth suddenly became frightened and quickly turned onto a secondary road just this side of the object, and sped away. A later visit to the site disclosed no traces of the object's landing.

While driving from Iron Knob to Kimba on Route One, Brian Hunt and his passenger, Miss Sharon Kinckler, observed a red light in a clearing to the right of the road. As they passed by, the two observed a red orange lighted area of rectangular shape, about 10 feet high by 5 feet wide, in which could be seen a sharply defined figure of what appeared to be a man in a white spacesuit. The figure was of normal size and appeared to be of ordinary shape, and was suspended in the lighted area some 2-3" above the ground, and floated in the middle of the lighted area some 2-3 feet above the base. Mr. Hunt called the object and figure to his companion's attention as he accelerated past the scene, and Miss Kinckler, upon turning in her seat, said the orange glow seemed to spread across the entire highway behind them. When they arrived at Miss Kinckler's home in Kimba, the local police were called and a constable accompanied them back to the site. No traces were found.

As they were flying a DC-8 charter cargo plane from St. Louis, Missouri, to Dallas, Texas, two anonymous pilots observed an object over southeast Oklahoma. They had just commenced a gradual descent from 21,000 feet in the vicinity of McAlester when the object appeared off to their right, approximately 5000 feet away, and moving in the same direction. It gave off a strange orange light and abruptly rose straight up like an elevator, then made a right angle turn in the direction of the DC-8 and approached at incredible speed, taking a position about 300 yards away, slightly above them. It was disc shaped, with a clear dome on top, and continued to pace the airliner in the new position. The pilot tried to raise its air traffic controller by radio with no success. The moonlight reflected off the silvery sides of the object, which had two sets of raised fins along its trailing edge; it appeared to be about 75 feet long and 40 feet wide. The pilot switched on his radar and immediately picked up its echo on the scope; almost instantaneously the object began a series of complex maneuvers and took up a new position just below the leading edge of their left wing. It dropped to a position 300 feet below the aircraft and the two pilots were able to see two, perhaps three, indistinct and shadowy figures inside the dome; the object then moved out and ahead of the plane, executed several more maneuvers, and disappeared into the night.

She contacted two investigators of the Victorian UFO group and drove with them to the site. On route she briefly "saw" a man sitting in the front seat of the car; her passengers did not see the figure. As she approached the spot of her earlier encounter, she saw the same figure standing outside the car. The others saw nothing. The figure was normal sized, wearing a white ski suit-type of coverall tucked in at the wrists and covering the feet. He had long blond hair. He beckoned to Mrs. Puddy, but she did not respond; instead, she appeared to lose consciousness, although she described what she was seeing to the two passengers of the car; she was in a round room lit by an unknown source; the figure appeared in the room with her, and the room was shaped like a large mushroom with a stem at the bottom and a hemispherical dome on top. It appeared to have an inner hemisphere that appeared to be wobbling, and had what looked like hieroglyphics on it. The figure told her to describe what she saw, which she did; her companions heard this description but still saw nothing themselves. She saw no doors or windows in the room and began to get frightened; she started to cry and 'woke up" with tears in her eyes, but she could recall nothing of what happened in this trance-like state or what she just described to the others. About a week later she was driving with her son, seated in the front passenger seat. The same "man" again appeared, this time sitting between them. Apparently her son did not see him. His presence was accompanied by an abrupt change in the weather, which had been rainy and low visibility; it suddenly cleared, and Mrs. Puddy could see for miles.

Helene, 14, was driving the family snowmobile near McWaters, with her 2 brothers and 7 teen aged friends, all on snowmobiles, when a giant "headlight" rose from behind them and passed over the group, illuminating the whole landscape. After it had gone, all the boys went off on a race, leaving Helene behind. The brilliant light source reappeared and flew back over her; she estimated it as 60 ft in diameter. Suddenly its light went out. Helen thought it must be a plane that had crashed somewhere behind her. She turned around and went back about 500 ft, then got off and walked toward a very large dark bulk which she thought she could make out among the trees. She was within perhaps 50 ft of it when a small, cold hand coming from over her shoulder seized her by the chin and tried to drag her backwards. Thinking it must be her younger brother playing a joke; she broke free and pushed her attacker back so that he fell back, sitting into the snow. Turning to face him, she realized that it was a childlike figure smaller than her 13-year old brother. She ran back to the snowmobile and got a flashlight, turning it on the person, who was now slowly walking toward her. She saw a being about 45" tall, clad in dark, close fitting clothing with a "plated" surface, and wearing a helmet that covered his head down to the chin. Around his face the rim of a "visor", reflected the light, and his enormous eyes also shone brightly in the light, like those of a cat. He was advancing with difficulty, perhaps because of the snow. Terrified, Helene dropped the flashlight, ran to the snowmobile, and fled on it. She was joined by the other snowmobiles, which were returning. Her left arm was paralyzed. She was taken to a doctor at Rouyn, who gave her a sedative. The next day several people went to the place, where they found a large patch of snow melted down to the ground, 50ft in diameter and shaped like a donut. Beside it were the tracks of 2 small bipeds, a few yards away from each other; the tracks were short and broad with a large protruding great toe.

The witness had set up camp in a remote area next to a gravel road off Highway 666. He had been there for about an hour when in the distance he heard the rattle and clatter of a vehicle coming rather fast. He was then surprised to see a battered rusty yellow Volkswagen Beetle coming up the old mining road. It was coming at a rate of speed he thought was far too fast for the rough, unpaved road. He was standing several hundred feet off the road and was well concealed in a thick grove of yucca plants and a variety of tall cacti. The VW went by out on the road, trailed by an immense dust cloud. In the front seats were two men with long, dark brown hair, who appeared to be in their early thirties. He watched the speeding yellow VW go far up into the mountains. The little car remained clearly in sight as it traveled up a broad alluvial fan at the foot of the high mountains. He began looking at the car with his binoculars. Eventually the VW pulled up to an ancient corrugated metal mining shack at the end of the road. The two men got out and spent 15 or 20 minutes walking in and out and around the dilapidated metal shack. He watched them get back into their VW and the car quickly resumed that reckless rate of speed back down the long, sloping hillside. A tremendous rooster tail of dust plumed skyward behind the little speck of yellow. In minutes he lowered his binoculars, for the yellow car was now easily seen with the naked eye. He was growing uneasy, as he began to suspect that the two men were up to no good. He also knew that from the angle of their present location they could easily see his red pickup with its white camper shell. But he was not prepared for what happened next. The car, going at that breakneck speed, came hurtling down the hill. He could hear it as well as see it. The yellow car dipped down into a shallow gully, and for a moment he lost sight of it. He waited and watched. Several seconds went by while he stood looking and waiting for the little car and its two occupants to reappear at the top of the hill. But incredibly nothing happened. There was only silence. The mammoth dust cloud caught up to the shallow gully and began to slowly dissipate in the absolute silence of the desert. The witness became more and more confused as each minute went by. He knew at the high speed the car was traveling, even if it had hit something or the driver had locked up the brakes, the momentum of the car would have carried it over the top of that hill. He started to experience panic. He decided that they had seen his truck and had somehow stopped. Fearful and confused he did not sleep that night, but instead spent the night sitting on a hillside above his camper with his high-powered rifle across his knees. In the morning he made his way to where he had last seen the car and its two occupants. He found nothing. There were no skid marks, no wreckage, and no side roads where a vehicle could have turned off. Not only that, but the banks at the side of the road at that spot were too high even for a four-wheel drive to cross.

The 7-year old witness and his sister were visiting a farm one night. He slept on a couch in the living room and his sister and another girl slept on another couch close to him. He suddenly awoke because of a bright light in the room and realized he was no longer on the couch. He was on the other couch and his sister and the other girl were nowhere around. He then looked towards where the light was coming from and there stood three humanoid looking creatures that appeared to be "transforming" they were talking to him, directly in his mind, telling him that one day he would assist on the "salvation of man" or something similar. The creatures then disappeared right through the wall and everything became black. Later the witness found his sister and the other girl in another room asleep.

Cirila Montero Lagunes reported that her 3-year old son Ramiro had wandered off one day in March and returned six days later, with a story of having been found by five "little men" (Chaneques) and taken to a cave where they fed him "sweet food" and played with him. He was located from information by a neighbor boy who said the Chaneques had told him where the boy could be found. The boy said he slept in the cave and was looked after by the gnomes, one of who was with him at all times. The hillside below the cave was found to be extremely dense with spine bearing shrubs, and access to it would have been difficult for such a small boy; the adults had to cut a path to the cave's entrance to reach it. It was approximately 9 miles form his home. No connection with UFOs is mentioned.

Olga Adler was in bed suffering from "chronic" back pain; her eyes were closed when the room suddenly became bright. She was suddenly paralyzed. She then perceived a figure in a long, light brown robe, resembling a monk's habit, with the hood pulled up and rendering the face in deep shadows. The figure entered through a closed door and floated across the room. The figure held in his arms what looked like a heavy metal cylinder, which he placed on the witness back as she lay on her side, and pressed down. With contact of the cylinder on the witness back, she could feel comfortable warmth penetrating her body and felt surrounded by a tingling sensation like electricity. The figure held the cylinder there for at least five minutes. It then departed through the closed door and Adler fell asleep. Upon awakening, Adler was astounded to discover that her backache was gone.

A local member of a UFO club had gone out into an isolated area in an attempt to signal UFO's with a flashlight. Suddenly he saw an approaching bright disc shaped object that leveled off and landed very close to the witness. It was a 30-meter metallic disc. A hatch opened and a very tall slender figure emerged, his body was very muscular and he was wearing a wide belt, he walked stiffly, like a robot. His face was not visible due to an intense orange light coming form the landed disc. There was a flash of light from an object in the entity's hand causing the hair of the witness to stand up. The entity then communicated via telepathy with the witness. The witness claims he was taken inside the object to a room where he was shown a film of the alien's home planet and was given numerous revelations.

Dr. Walter Lourenco De Souza and 7 members of his family were at dinner when they heard cries uttered by his nephew Samuel Faria, 26, who had gone out for a few minutes earlier to take a bath in a bath house at the end of the garden. On February 3 in the same garden the witness had encountered a hovering UFO that emitted intense heat. Pale and trembling Faria said that as he was returning from his bath, he had been seized by the arms, lifted about 8" from the ground, and thrown backwards. He struggled and freed himself, falling on the ground. On his upper arms were visible red marks, apparently from claws that had gripped him. These marks, which were photographed, gradually turned brown and disappeared.

On an early morning, with freezing weather, and clear skies the witness spotted several 18" cubic crafts flying overhead repeatedly, emitting a whooshing sound, a buzzing sound could also be heard, similar to the sound made by an electrical transformer under load. These flying cubes appeared to be made of brushed metal. They flew in an undulating "chain" formation. They repeatedly buzzed the witness, in other words they dove at him. He was on foot at the time. He attempted to 'escape' from this remote location by hiking toward a store. He had to cross a steel bridge over a river, but saw that the cubes had landed in the center of the bridge. He was terrified at this time. He watched the cubes disgorged a number of shiny silvery spheres; the spheres varied in size from 3" to about 12". After the spheres had 'rolled' out from small square doors in the sides of the cubes, the cubes suddenly took flight and vanished. The witness path was now blocked by the silvery spheres. They did not glow but were very reflective. There were several spheres, he couldn't tell how many. The witness decided to brave an attempt to pass by the spheres. As he did one of them vanished with a tiny 'ping' sound. He found that very strange. There was on the ground, the last of the snow winter, very hard snow, a crust about 1"-8" deep. There were bare areas of dirt also. As he walked toward the far end of the bridge, his head began to sweat, and his vision fogged. He became dizzy and could barely walk. The sensation of heat inside his head increased radically with every step he took. His vision doubled and he had to lean against a rail of the bridge to stand upright. He was convinced that he was about to die. He then carelessly walked close to some other spheres and they too vanished with the pinging noise, similar to the sound of a musical triangle. The moon was casting considerable light. He then happened to look at the sloped, snow-covered bank of the river, which bank was about 40feet from the top to the edge of the water. There, imprinted in the snow, was a huge 'footprint'. It appeared to have been melted into the hard snow. The footprint resembled that of a bird, it had three toes and one heel. In other words, it was a "Y" shape with a middle prong between the uprights. For some reason this sight deeply shocked him. He finally began to panic and indeed felt that my death was imminent. He gave up the attempt to cross the bridge and went back to the shore which he had started from. It was there that he saw on the hard snow at the side of the road, many footprints just like the one described above; but these were many sizes, from small (3") to large (6'). They were scattered about, in what seemed to be a random pattern. One thing caught his attention, the footprints occurred only in pairs. It looked as though some 'invisible creatures' whose feet were hot, had stood around there, on the hard snow. Amazed, he bent down and ran his finger around inside the footprints. The snow had been melted into hard ice; the footprints were indeed real. Each footprints was literally a depression in the snow, a 3-toed shape, and the snow had been compressed, or melted, to produce these impressions. It occurred to him that these footprints were made by something that had been 'hatched' when the silver spheres disappeared as he approached them. He felt that he was somehow under attack by invisible enemies. He had been sweating and now was growing cold, as the heat had diminished when he returned to the end of the bridge. It seemed to him that the cubes had deployed the spheres, which had deployed the 'invisible entities' whose job had been to prevent the witness from crossing the bridge. (The witness mentions a similar incident in an Alpine region in Switzerland in which a mountain guide had observed huge 3-toed footprints in the snow of a remote mountain valley. He stated that the footprints resembled those of a huge invisible bird.)

Jorge Roberto Herrera, an engineering student, saw an object shaped like 2 plates put together descend in falling-leaf fashion till within a yard of the ground, on which it then settled, tilted, beside the highway. It was aluminum colored until it landed, then it turned to a dull copper. It was about 16 ft wide. After 3 minutes, legs thrust out, this leveled the UFO. Then Herrera saw beside it a being 5'2" tall, dressed in a white "diving suit" with opaque helmet; the arms were cut off short, without any hands. The feet covered by the suit, without footwear. This entity was not seen to emerge from the UFO. It glided a few feet without walking, and then disappeared. A few seconds later the UFO retracted its legs, returned to an inclined position, and took off. Herrera was 50 ft from it at the time. He took one step and found he was at the landing marks, having moved 50 ft unconsciously. There were seven un-symmetrically arranged imprints in an area only about 5 ft square. A small truck came up, whose driver said that he had seen the UFO and that it had caused his engine and his radio to fail. This man drove Herrera, who now felt ill, to Salta; he entered a clinic, where he was treated for 8 days without ever being told the diagnosis.

In the next hour, at intervals of some minutes apart, she saw a total of 25 similar lights or objects flying over a low level-10 to 15 meters above the trees, moving very fast. With the aid of an old optical telescope, she observed in front of one of these objects a "man" standing, handling a "board;" it was a "tiny" figure, but "of great height." He held one arm straight up. The witness reportedly took pictures of some of the objects, "It was impressive," she is quoted as saying, insisting they were not normal aircraft, with which she is familiar, as there is a Belgian Air Base northeast of her locale.

M. Brechant, his 11-year-old son, Patrice, and his brother in law, Mr. Cosme, were in a car on a dark night on a saucer hunting expedition. In a field near Songeons, 250-300 yards away, they saw a luminous ball whose light diminished in intensity; for a few seconds, 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared beside it. Then they tried to drive around the light and observe it from the rear. This second luminous ball, likewise in a field, was about 200 yards away. From its base emerged a triangular beam of light, its base on the ball, and its point toward the left. Through binoculars, Mr. Cosme could see 2 luminous silhouettes of beings, one behind the beam and one "sliding on it" towards the point, where it disappeared. They seemed to have elongated heads and enormously broad shoulders; he could not distinguish arms and legs, but the one behind the beam seemed to carry a sack on its left side. This silhouette gradually "evaporated," then the beam went out, and then the ball. On their way home the observer's car was pursued by a ball of yellow-white, then yellow green light at treetop level, first seen 300 yards away and later approaching to within at most 50 yards.

Armando Silva and his wife, of La Salina, near Caracaya, were at their country home at the seashore. On the evening of the 28th they had seen two elongated bluish objects high overhead. About 0100A a stifling heat in the house awakened them. Mr. Silva went to the balcony and saw the two blue, capsule shaped objects they had seen earlier, now flying near the shore. One of them dropped into the sea and re-emerged on the surface, then was joined by the second, which bobbed on the surface nearby. Silva meanwhile had gone to the beach to see more clearly. "I was terrified when, at one of the small windows on the strange little object that came down from the sky and fell into the sea a few meters from shore, I saw a tiny figure, like a 5-year old child, and wearing on its head what looked like a great gourd. I cannot say for sure that it was an intelligent being, since I only saw half of its body and its head, which, as I say, looked like a gourd. Nor did I see any arms. And I didn't wait to see if it made any movements, for I took to my heels and ran into the house, where my wife was watching from the balcony, the two things which had come down from the sky and were bobbing up and down in the water." The incident lasted about 15 minutes.

During the night of April 15-16, more than a dozen witnesses reported observations of UFOs in the localized area of Penn and Manor, Pennsylvania, near the larger town of Jeanette. Among these was the report of a single witness who was driving near the Manor Power plant when he observed a large glowing object above nearby railroad tracks, just above the trees. Light from the object illuminated the immediate area, and the witness pulled over to the side of the road and got out for a better look. The object, no more than a hundred yards from the witness, was about 400 yards to the west of the power plant and approximately 10 feet above the treetops. The illumination was of an intense white, and the object itself completely illuminated but apparently solid in construction and about "3 car lengths" wide. It had a dome like structure on top the same bright color as the rest of the object. Around the main section were 2 or 3 rows of lights, or square windows, of a somewhat multi-color-one whitish, another red and the third a blue or green hue. More interesting than the object was "something" that appeared outside it, similar to the Apollo astronauts that were photographed "walking in space." From the left side of the UFO a line extended some 30 yards at the end of which floated a form of some 8 or ten feet tall, of a purple or orange color. The witness did not say it was specifically human form, but it did appear to be similar to a human torso. He did not see the attendant object retracted into the UFO; rather it disappeared like "a string of lights." He had left his lights on and engine running when he got out; 3-4 minutes, the headlights dimmed as low as a weak flashlight. When the object departed, the lights came back on as bright as before. The object made a high-pitched sound "like a spinning top" when it departed. "You could hear the trees blowing" as it went over them.

Eventually they stopped the car on the side of the road near a farm area and the main witness stepped out of the car to observe the light. She next recalled getting back into the car feeling nauseous and thirsty. When they drove to a nearby relative's home the light appeared again and descended low over a nearby field. The object was round and had lighted windows. The witnesses became hysterical and the object suddenly shot up at tremendous speed. Later under hypnosis the main witness was able to remember seeing, in the first encounter, a brown and white calf rise up into the object within a beam of pale yellow light. The witness and her daughter were also transported inside the object. There the main witness watched in horror as two little men, gray in color with huge wrap around eyes with vertical pupils and wearing form fitting black outfits excise tissue from the calf's eyeball, tongue and testicles and then lower the calf into a field apparently already dead. The daughter remembered being escorted into the object by several short humanoids that moved mechanically and performed medical tests on her. One of the beings was taller with different eyes from the others and seemed more compassionate towards the witness and was apparently a female. Both witnesses saw what appeared to be animal parts in a room inside the object.

Mrs. Sigrid Karlsson went out to walk with her dog on a beautiful clear night and Mrs. Karlsson looked up at the stars. She then suddenly saw a red light approaching from the northeast. She did not pay much attention first, thinking it might be an airplane or helicopter. But back in the house she went to a window to have another look and as the room was dark, she now had a very good view of that red light. The red lighted sphere was going to slow to be an airplane and it stopped several times. Mrs. Karlsson realized that something wasn't quite right and therefore awakened her 11-year old son, Robert, to have as a witness. Going outside she and her son then watched the red ball and noticed it stayed about one kilometer away over a neighbor's house that had bright floodlights on. The sphere seemed to throb. Shortly thereafter the object shot away from the neighbor's house and continued ahead with undulating movements. When the sphere started to move they heard a sound like a jet-plane that turned to a kind of hissing which seemed to fill the whole neighborhood. After five or ten minutes the red sphere came in their direction. They noticed as it came, that it was silver colored, and then changed to a more yellow-white color. While Mrs. Karlsson, who admitted her eyesight was poor, could just make out two grayish spots inside the object, her son suddenly cried out, "Mama there are two men watching us!" Later Robert told investigators the craft looked like two saucer plates put together, and in the middle they were separated by vertical beams of some sort. He said he could see two human-like silhouettes close to the center of the object. They seemed to bend over and look down at the witnesses. By this time the craft was about 50 meters away and about the same distance up. As it passed overhead at about the normal speed of a car, the two witnesses ran to the other side of the house where they saw the UFO hovering and swaying back and forth as if looking for a place to land, but it then made a U-turn and disappeared towards the east.

A disc-shaped alien spacecraft crashed in the desert in the remote western part of China, approximately west of Ruoquiang. Chinese military reportedly recovered the object and moved it, dragging it and loading it upon a platform on a low bed truck, taking it to the Lop Nur nuclear testing range located in the same province apparently for further study. The disk was about 8-10 meters in diameter, with a central dome and lens-shaped, its hull was shiny silver or shiny metallic. The disk was temporarily hidden at the Lop Nur in a surface hangar and then moved to an underground bunker. Two bodies were extracted from the disk through an opened hatch (the hatch was already opened when the military found it). Both bodies were small, of the dwarf type, with large heads and tiny bodies, 3 or 4 fingered extremities, and grayish skin. A special Government team was created to examine and study the disk, subordinated directly to top Party Government and Military Command, and personally under the control of Chairman Mao Zedong. A team of Government biologists conducted an autopsy on the bodies and the disk was later reportedly moved to a secure underground Government research installation in a military range southwest of Beijing under the Taihang-Shan Mountains. The disk had been subjected to the must detailed and rigid study, research and development. Other crashed UFOs (1 or 2) were also moved to that installation. According to one source (Commander X) China has managed to duplicate a UFO and fly it (!). But most likely due to primitive Chinese technology and the disastrous so-called "Cultural Revolution", progress on the disk did not go to far, the task to back-engineer its technology totally failed. Starting in 1978 under the Deng Chao Ping regime, the work continued. Possibly only in the late 80's China apparently succeeded to reverse engineer and partially copy some equipment of the crashed disk. Chinese specialists constructed a copy of the object, an antigravity replica, and some alien equipment from the crashed disk was apparently installed in the replicated disk. The hybrid antigravity technology (partly Chinese, partly extraterrestrial) was apparently flight-tested in a remote range of Lob Nur (Chinese area 51?). The original alien disk from 1973 could not be test flown because of extensive damage.

Looking up through the windshield, at close to a 90 degree angle, he could see a football shaped object that flashed from red to blue to white, in a repeating cycle; as he watched, he saw a figure materialize approximately 10 feet below the object. The figure was human in shaped, clad all in silver, and rapidly descended to the highway directly in front of the car; when it reached the pavement, the figure was standing rigidly in a position looking to the right, then turned its head to look directly into the windshield at the witness. After about a half a minute, the figure again ascended rapidly, "like a helium balloon," towards the object; disappearing before it reached it. It was shaped exactly like a human, but was entirely silver in color, lacking hair and ears; eyes, a "Dutch" nose and narrow mouth, with small pointed chin, were observed by the witness. He was uncertain as to whether the silvery body was a close fitting garment or the actual skin color, for he saw what appeared to be the faint outline of a vein running down the inside of one of the figure's arms, which he held rigidly downward; on the feet he saw what appeared to be boots or shoes, with a heavy, distinct line between the sole and boot itself. No line of demarcation could be seen between the shoe, or boot and the lower leg. The height of the figure was not much more than 2.5 feet; and it descended to a position approximately ten feet in front of the car. After the figure ascended, the object moved rapidly in a vertical ascent, rocking the car "as if a semi was passing it."

Fay, 7, with a boy about her own age, was on the golf links when they heard a wailing siren like sound. They followed it through a hedge into a swampy meadow. The noise ceased. As they were crossing a brook by a footbridge, a strange figure came out from under the bridge. This person fumbled with a book, dropped it in the water, retrieved it, and then went with "a strange hopping motion, with knees raised high" to a metallic "hut" with no windows. The being was nearly 7-foot tall and neck less. He wore a yellow, pointed, hood like hat with a black knob on top and "wooden" antennae or horns on the sides, and a green tunic with a red collar. "His face had triangular markings for eyes, a brown square of a nose and motionless yellow lips." Other round markings were on his paper-white cheeks, and a fringe of red hair fell onto his forehead. "Wooden slats" protruded from his sleeves and from below his white trousers. There were only three fingers on each blue-glove hand and 3 toes on his bare, white feet. The being carried from the hut a black knobbed microphone, into which he spoke (the children were now 50 yards away), saying "Hello, are you still there?" Since his tone sounded friendly, they approached him. He then wrote in a "notebook", in a large hand, "Hello and I am all colors, Sam." Talking without the aid of a microphone-his lips did not move, and his speech was unclear-he "asked the children about themselves." They "asked about his clothes, which were all ripped" and "asked if he was really a man." "No", he replied, with a chuckle. When they asked if he was a ghost, he answered "Well, not really, but I am in an odd sort of way." "What are you then?" they asked, but he replied, "You know." He also said that he had no name, and "confided that he was frightened of people." At his invitation, the children crawled through a flap into his hut, which he told them he had "just made." It contained two levels. The lower, which "had plenty of headroom", was "wall papered" in blue green and covered with a pattern of dials; there was an electric heater and simple wooden furniture. The upper level, less spacious, had a metal floor. He told the children that he fed upon berries, which he collected, and drank the river water after "cleaning" it. He said he had a "camp" in the mainland. Inside the hut he removed his hat to reveal round, white ears and sparse brown hair. Before eating a berry, he performed an "odd trick" with it; he placed the berry in his ear, where it disappeared and reappeared at one of his triangular eyes; "repeating the process, the berry traveled to his mouth." The children talked to this being for at least half an hour, then rushed across the golf links to tell the firs man they met they had seen a ghost.

An anonymous man "who enjoys an excellent reputation in Bahia" was walking on some river property of his, carrying a shotgun, when he heard a soft humming. Then a man about 5'3" tall appeared in front of him. He wore a brownish gray tight fitting leotard, with boots that appeared metallic, and a wide belt with a very large blue buckle. His face and his hands, which had long fingers, were pallid white, his ears small and pointed, and his head "larger than ours." This man, speaking in Portuguese, told the witness not to be afraid, and to put away his gun, saying that he was "not of this world-I come from a planet that you people call a satellite." He also said that his ship was hovering a few yards above them, invisible to the eye. Then he said, "Good bye, brother, I must go" and pushed a white button on his belt buckle. At this a beam of light shone on him "and then drew away, carrying the man with it", he disappeared a few yards above the witness head.

Onilson Patero, 40-year-old salesman, was driving to his home in Catanduva during a rainstorm; he'd given a lift to a young hitchhiker and dropped him off at Itajobi. About 7 miles from Catanduva, on Highway 321, his car began to lose power and the radio failed, with static interference. At the same time he noticed a circle of light moving about in the car and pulled over, thinking it was from a truck that was passing. He then saw an object about 50 feet ahead and 40 feet over the road; the interior of the car began to heat up and Patero felt a lack of air, so he opened the door and stepped out. A "curtain of light" began to form around the object, and the heat and lack of air diminished. He could now see that this was not a helicopter, and he saw a "tube of light" hit the car and, as it did, the car became transparent. He fainted. About an hour later two young men who drove on to get police help found him; on their return they found Patero still laying in the mud and rain. He came to crying out "they were trying to get me!" He was taken to the hospital in Catanduva, and later released. Over the next several days, he suffered the physical effects of some unknown symptom. The case is cited not just because is a possible abduction; eleven months later, Patero was the principal in an abduction experience in which he vanished for five days, turning up again in Colatina 700 km away. Under regressive hypnosis, he described one of his abductors as the same individual he had given a ride to in the case cited here.

Driving a 6-ton truck loaded with asbestos sheeting, cement, and steel, Manuel Angel Gonzalez was in the vicinity of Cintalapa when he suddenly noticed five little figures standing in the road ahead of him with their arms raised in the air. They had abruptly appeared from nowhere. The driver stopped his truck immediately, only a short distance from them. He thought at first they were children, but at closer range he saw they were perfectly proportioned adult figures but no more than 2 feet high, with light brown skin and black hair. He was unable to remember details about their clothing. As he got out of his truck, the little figures began scattering toward the sides of the road, disappearing into the underbrush along the highway. As he turned to go back to his truck, he saw it suddenly engulfed in blue flame; in a matter of no more than 30 minutes, the truck and its normally non-flammable cargo were reduced to ashes and fused metal. Two other motorists who stopped to watch witnessed the conflagration. Interestingly, according to the witness, two days after the truck was consumed by fire, metal fragments that had been collected spontaneously burst into blue flames and were reduced to ashes. The witness related the appearance of the little figures to stories of little people of Mexican folklore, the Chaneques. The investigators later learned that two other trucks were similarly destroyed and that in one case UFOs were seen.

The witness was up watching TV after having fed the baby and putting her to sleep. She went to the kitchen to get a glass of water without turning on the lights. As she got up to the kitchen sink she looked up at the window and saw an oval-shaped craft hovering above the backyard. It was just a few feet from the kitchen window. She stood for a few minutes unable to move. It had a pulsating light inside an opening and she was able to see several figures standing inside; however she could not see any details or features. She was finally able to move and ran to the bedroom to wake her husband up. By the time her husband came to the kitchen the UFO was gone, but not completely. It hovered around about half a mile away, it seemed to spin and glide gracefully.

Geni Lisboa was busily baking wedding cakes early in the morning when her attention was drawn outdoors by the cries of her pet parakeet. Looking out, she saw an illuminated object approaching her property. The object circled the garden and hovered above the wall, at which time Ms Lisboa, only a few meters distant, could see through the transparent upper portion three identical figures of small stature, behind a kind of "parapet" which hid them from the waist down. Each one was shining a beam of light down as if searching for something when their beams simultaneously converged on the witness, immediately paralyzing her. Feeling some pain and dizziness, she was able to call out for help to her neighbor. But the object had departed before she was able to respond. When her neighbor arrived, she found Ms Lisboa's face swollen and her eyes bloodshot. Her body was painful, particularly in the joints, and especially in the knees, but she continued working until the pain returned and she was forced to call her neighbor again. Her physiological symptoms worsened and she was hospitalized for what the doctors called "prolapsed of the uterus." She had had a gynecological test 6 months earlier and had been healthy. In addition to this, her eyesight worsened after the experience to the point where she was forced to wear corrective lenses for the first time in her life; also, a previous condition of hypertension seems to have made an improvement to the degree where she dropped all previous anti-hypertensive medication.

The beings could not have been much taller than 4ft, they had very large almond shaped black eyes, were slender and their mouths were just slits. One of the beings walked towards the witness and spoke to him telepathically. He could not move and was very afraid. He asked the being if he was a "Martian" and he said no, but that they were from another planet. The witness doesn't remember much what happened after that but does remember looking towards the hallway and seeing his father being carried out by several of the small beings out of the hall and down into the stairwell. The only other memory of the event---which is slightly detached---is that he remembers another being, slightly larger but the same large eyes, hovering over him, telling him that he will not be hurt and then forcing him to drink a white liquid that had the appearance of milk but had a horrible chemical taste.

Before sunset the witness remembered her father saying that they were in a very isolated area very far from any nomads. In the middle of the night the main witness needed to go to the bathroom which was basically the wide open desert. He took a small bucket of water to clean up, and walked away from their tent searching for a bush or large rock. Suddenly he heard people talking or whispering from a distance. He couldn't see them very clearly but he saw some kind of light swinging back and forth. He stood up watching and wondering where his father's friends were doing (thinking it was them) and walked towards them. Then he saw what appeared to be a faraway shiny vehicle, he could not see the whole vehicle. The strangers went inside the "car" and the vehicle began moving away without any sound. It moved slowly and elevated gradually as if going up a hill. The witness then did his business and went back to sleep next to his father. After a couple of hours he woke up for the dawn prayer. Surprisingly, he saw his father's friends with them. After the prayers the witness told his father about the strangers and he told his friends. They grabbed their guns and went to investigate. They could not find any trace of the strangers or any car. The desert was flat and there were no hills around. Tracks usually stay on the desert floor for hours but the men could not find anything. Their interpretation was that the strangers had been "Jinns" a race of invisible creatures or beings that Moslems believe in, but it did not explain the shiny vehicle.

An artist and painter named Vladimir was hunting goats in the Pamirs Mountains, before going to the area he had heard tales from local shepherds that at times a "second Moon" could be seen in the sky. Suddenly Vladimir stumbled upon what he termed was an "invisible wall" and became paralyzed. Then something like a large mushroom appeared nearby, it was a silver dome-shaped object standing on a cone-shaped base. Several humanoids entities were standing near the object, they were dressed in silvery overalls, they had emotionless faces and cowls covered their heads. One of the humanoids approached and grabbed the witness by the scruff of his neck in one hand and with the other hand grabbed Vladimir's rifle and a goat and then humanoid easily rose into the air and zoomed towards an opening in the UFO. At this time Vladimir became unconscious. He came too on board the strange craft. Inside besides the other aliens he saw a beautiful extraterrestrial female. She was of small height, well built, with broad somewhat bulging brown eyes. She proposed that they connect his "brain" into some kind of equipment. On a nearby screen he saw what had been the main events of his life, which the aliens were apparently able to extract directly from his brain. Vladimir experienced the most precious and desirable events in his life again. The experiments on him continued until he was finally left alone with the female. Vladimir said he couldn't help in admiring her beauty. She had peach-colored smooth hands, and arms slightly light violet in color. She had curly light flowing hair which descended over her shoulders to her hips. Unable to control himself Vladimir approached the woman and kissed her (!). He remembered a citrus-like smell emanating from her breath. The alien woman then said in a strange robot-like monotone, "This is not planned". But Vladimir could not stop now and continued his seduction process until they began making love. Suddenly the other humanoids burst into the room startling Vladimir. Incredibly, the humanoids seemed to reproach the woman and roughly dragged Vladimir out to another room. There they placed him on a table resembling a surgery table. He felt his body being pierced by what he thought was a vortex of currents, then what appeared to be "black hands" penetrated inside his body and began examining his inner organs. That was mostly painless except for a very unpleasant feeling when the hands touched his heart muscle; at that point he screamed in pain and lost consciousness. He woke up later back on the ground, near a small river and a grassy field nearby. A humanoid wearing a spacesuit stood nearby. The alien then told him, "We need you. We implanted a program into your organism that will always track you. Wait until we connect with you!" Then the alien disappeared. Vladimir descended the mountains and reached the nearby town of Pendzhikent several kilometers away. The witness remained silent about his experienced until 1992, afraid of being classified as a lunatic. He reported that in 1990 the aliens apparently "connected" with him and instructed him to build a strange device, which he did not provide any details on. He is now apparently writing a book about his experience.

She was about to wake him when she noticed emerging from a brushy area about 60 ft away a creature which she described as an alien. It was about 4 ft tall, large pear-shaped head, pointed chin, large dark Asian eyes, small nose, wrinkled old appearing face and wearing a bright yellow tunic of a plastic-like material, similar to a raincoat. The being approached her and she felt no fear. It began to talk with her telepathically in a very pleasant manner. It made small talk with her, humoring her as an adult would talk to a child. The being visited for about 5-10minutes and then walked back to the brushy area from where it emerged and disappeared. She had visited the farm 2 other times that summer and had two other similar experiences with the creature. Her male cousin was with her on at least one other occasion with similar event happening. She recalls these events without hypnosis. The witness claims to have had other alien experiences throughout her life.

A local farmer known as Miguel Cantoneiro was clearing brush in an isolated field on a hot windless day. Suddenly he heard a sort of "strong wind" sound which caught his attention since the day had been totally still. Looking in the direction of the sound he was surprised to see a metallic blue pear-shaped craft coming down for a landing on the nearby field. The surface of the craft reflected the sun's rays like a mirror. Despite being frightened, Miguel maintained his composure and remained there watching the craft. Moments later a sort of hatch or door opened up on the middle of the craft and a small three rung ladder was lowered to the ground. Immediately after a small human-like figure descended to the ground via the ladder, according to Miguel the figure resembled a typical human dwarf, this figure was followed by another very similar in appearance. The beings were not carrying anything in their hands and had what appeared to be small beards on their faces and both wore tight-fitting dark overalls. Both beings then spoke among each other in a strange language that Miguel was not able to understand. Both humanoids moved around in familiar human-like movements and both seemed to ignore the presence of the witness which must have been clearly obvious two both of the humanoids; they seemed indifferent to the fact that Miguel was watching them. After a few moments both figures walked back into their craft which then immediately took off disappearing from sight towards the south. Miguel noticed that as the craft ascended from the field it created a strong wind displacement causing the grass under it to swirl around violently. After this bizarre encounter Miguel continued his work and after finishing went back to the village where he met another witness to the encounter who had apparently seen everything from a greater distance.

The main witness and his uncle were driving home late one night after delivering produce and were heading up a winding road that snaked around a hill and they both saw what they thought was a big dog on the side of the road, pawing at something. As they got closer they saw the creature rooting and licking something with tongue and snout. And then the creature stood up, it was clearly not a dog. The driver (the uncle) slowed to a crawl and hit the high beams. The terrified witnesses were speechless as they saw what appeared to be a "man" covered in short, black fur, clearly well muscled with the head of a German Shepherd or wolf. Its eyes were yellowish-orange color; it had a well-muscled abdomen and thighs and was clearly a male. The witnesses didn't make a sound and started to roll by, when it lunged across the access road in a single leap. When they got to the top of the hill, his uncle went to the guard shack in the middle of a fenced area and returned armed with a gun, they returned to the scene of the encounter and found a deer carcass, with the haunches torn away.

Having unloaded some merchandise from his truck, truck driver Crisanto Marvel Perez and a companion were napping in the truck when Perez was awakened by a noise; he dozed off again and was again awakened and, through a rearview mirror on the outside of the truck he observed three whitish figures approaching. His companion was still asleep. Through the opposite mirror he saw the three figures peer in the window behind his head; he remained still, as though asleep, but was able to see that they examined the inside of the truck with curiosity. They were generally normal in appearance except for a "parrot-like" nose, and either their skin was scaly or they wore clothes that had a scaly appearance. On their heads was a kind of helmet divided across the top from front to back by a crest. They spoke among themselves in an incomprehensible language that had a sound similar to that made by bats. After they had examined the inside of the truck, the beings moved off, and Perez woke up his companion to tell him what happened; the man was incredulous. Perez drove home and was "very excited," going right to bed. He experienced a "strong fever and headache." Earlier that night, en route to Arecibo, he had observed a star-like object that seemed to be pacing his car. He saw it again on a subsequent night, but did not see the beings again.

Guadalupe Cantu, 19, glanced through the kitchen window and saw an orange luminous object moving 30 feet above nearby rooftops. As it drew closer, he could see that it was a transparent disc shaped object, in which stood a hairy, ape like being without clothing; the entity was looking down toward him and the rest of the ground, its hand apparently resting on something. No machinery or controls could be seen. The UFO passed about a block away making no sound, and then went out of sight.

Georges Gaudet and his wife were sleeping soundly when a bright beam of green light entered the bedroom through the open window, awakening the wife. The green light seemed to transform itself into a 4 ft tall humanoid wearing a silvery combination suit, and a helmet with a dark visor, the figure was totally encased in a green glow. Gaudet's wife stared at the figure and attempted to wake her husband to no avail. The figure then vanished in a flash of light. She suffered from headaches and insomnia for a week after the incident.

After taking his cows to the meadows a 60-year old rancher was walking back home in a very mountainous area near the village, when he observed at a forest clearing a large silvery bluish dome shaped craft resting on the ground on several protrusions. The craft had a shiny metallic surface. From the object emerged seven to ten human like figures wearing dark outfits, they descended to the ground via an extended ladder. On the ground some of the figures just stood and looked around, while others appeared to jump and the rest gesticulated. Everything was extremely silent. After a few moments the witness left the scene and did not see the object or its occupants depart.

Author and investigator Gustavo Fernandez was visiting a friend named Alberto in an isolated and heavily wooded area of Buenos Aires one night in order to join him in his "occult incantations" and paranormal chanting which the self-style "warlock" (Alberto) conducted most Saturday nights in one of the rooms of the house, which he used for a "coven". On that particular night Alberto's parents were not home and Gustavo sat around listening to nonsensical chanting and choking of incense fumes when Alberto suddenly stopped and told him he had heard a strange sound coming from outside. Looking outside they both could see a dark figure that had climbed on top of the wire fence, thinking that it was a burglar they pointed a flashlight at the intruder. Once they could see it clearly they were stunned to see a type of humanoid figure, perhaps shorter than 1.70m in height, and very thin and reptilian in appearance. Its body was literally covered in scales and it had what appeared to be a protruding dorsal spine on its back, something like a "dinosaur crest", they could also see a short tail-like protrusion. The feet were claw-like while the hands were elongated and somehow resembling "human feet". As the light shone on the creature it turned to look directly at the witnesses. Its eyes were very human in appearance, but shone with a fluorescent yellow glow. The creature half-opened its mouth and at the same time Gustavo thought to himself "Please God don't let him speak". At that very same instance the porch light from the house next door turned on, and the men saw the neighbor (a local engineer) step out and look around, perhaps having been attracted by the same noises. The creature then rattled the wire fence and jumped with superhuman agility to the ground and ran quickly along the fire fence. At this point the neighbor apparently saw the creature and emitted a scream and ran back into his house. The creature then jumped on top of a nearby roof and disappeared from sight. The two friends remained in shock and discussed the manner only among themselves.

Comments: In a bizarre and tragic twist to this case 2-3 months after this incident the local engineer (the 3rd witness) slaughtered his whole family, including his daughter and mother in law and then cut his own throat. (The source does not suggest a direct connection). Was this creature somehow summoned by the misguided dabbling into unknown forces by Alberto? Who knows, it remains a very perplexing case.

The witness was at a campfire with many other people, but was lying on a blanket off to herself looking at the stars. She closed her eyes but couldn't open them. "It was like I almost lost consciousness or touch with physical reality." The next awareness that she had was of being inside a craft with short bald beings performing a physical examination on her. The procedures seemed to take about ten minutes, and then she was aware of being back on the campground, but on the other side of the road from her blanket, and with many people standing around her. They were concerned for her condition, and her children were there saying, "We couldn't find you. Where were you?" She felt disoriented, dizzy and just sat on the ground for awhile. Her body felt tingly, her skin very sensitive. She had laid down at about 2230 or 2300 and it was now 0400A. She got herself together went to her camper, and tried to sleep.

Two men in their late thirties were on the way home from fishing when on impulse they decided to pull over on Rio Dam and throw their lines for one last time. They were both about to cast the lines when they noticed an oval shaped craft flying low over the lake and approaching them. The craft was rusty to brownish purple in color and had a dull "matte to purple finish." The object had about five portholes that emitted a green "fluorescent light" from inside. From the front of the object two purple pinkish beams of light swept forward and down to Rio Lake. The beams appeared to have "substance" inside them, apparently sucking up water from the river. The craft reached to about 100 feet away from the witnesses then they saw an entity inside the object. The entity had a leathery, wrinkled looking face and large pointed ears. Its skin was of a light brownish color, it had a round mouth, round eyes, and its face was flattened against the rectangular porthole of the object. It also had two hands thrown up against the window near its head. It moved its mouth and appeared to be exclaiming in great surprise upon seeing that he was being watched. Immediately the object accelerated to a high speed and continued its course quickly disappearing from sight at very low altitude over the dam.

The adult witness was living in an apartment complex in a small one bedroom apartment. He had been watching television in his living room and this room had a picture window, so if he looked out the window he would be able to see the lawn behind the building and also the rear storage shed. The shed had lights so the yard was lit up. She was watching television and her 10-year old was in the bedroom, when all of the sudden the television turned off just went black and at the same time the lights of the apartment went out, she then saw flashing lights and heard a buzzing sound. Not understanding what was going on she arose from the couch to look outside. She called her son to come quickly and look, as they stood by the window they saw a "spacecraft" land in the backyard. It was perhaps 15 ft wide and round and had some sort of dome on top. An opening became visible and six or seven human like figures climbed out of the object. They all appeared to be wearing spacesuits and helmets. They all appeared to be "working" or performing some type of task, sort of unloading something and lifting things and handing them to each other. While she and her son watched she remembers thinking, "I wonder if I could walk down the back stairway and open the back door and get a better look". But she was very afraid and she lost all memory as to what occurred the rest of the night. Years later she would remember some more details. She remembers being back on the couch and the television turning on. But this time the aliens were on the television and they were showing scenes of devastation, the end of the world if you will.

She was near Panola Mountain on highway 155 when her car just suddenly stopped running. Kate then noticed a large glowing area over to her right in the woods. Frightened she attempted to start the car, to no avail. She then noticed a five-foot tall being with large head and large eyes standing in front of the car. The being opened her car door and removed Kate from the vehicle. The he escorted her to a landed craft over to where she had originally seen the glow in the woods. Outside the craft were several other beings of a similar description with metallic square boxes, apparently gathering rocks, plants, and things from the immediate area. These beings ignored Kate and continued with their work. She was then taken inside into a small rounded, gray room that had a musty odor. She then found herself undressed and on top of a table like structure. Several procedures were then performed, including a vaginal exam. After a while she was allowed to put her clothes back on and was then escorted back to the car. The being that escorted her back told her "not to remember."

Roberta T. observed from her patio what at first appeared to be a star-like object that descended until it came to a spot just above the trees beyond her patio, at which time it appeared to be a large, illuminated spherical object. As it hovered there a square opening appeared on the side facing her, like "garage doors opening." Illuminated brightly from within, the witness observed a human like figure approach the opening from one side, cross over, and then bend down "to do something." When she uttered an exclamation to herself he abruptly looked up and out at the witness, peering directly at her by leaning out of the opening. He was visible from the knees up and seemed to be wearing a tight garment. He "dropped his head down" as he looked at her and she could see he was tall, with a large head, and with hands that appeared to be busy working on instruments. At that point she heard a humming sound and looking off to her left she saw a second, smaller object approaching in the same direction. It passed a post on the patio and abruptly disappeared; she then looked back toward the first object and found it too had vanished. She then fell asleep and when she awoke later, found herself lying in a different position. Under hypnotic regression, she described seeing the same figure appear before her on the patio. She then describes in vague uncertain ways how she was told not to be afraid and then "taken somewhere by being floated upwards. She recalled seeing a dog that had been constantly barking also floating in the air. She was in some dark "enclosed" place where she couldn't see and an instrument of some sort was placed on her head, which made her uncomfortable. There were others around her but she "felt" them rather than seeing them; she had the impression they were "talking" to each other in a language she could not understand. She had the impression there were two people present. When she awoke on the patio, it was some 4 or 5 hours later.

A disk shaped object crashed in the desert on the mountainous area in the extreme western part of Arizona, and was retrieved by the US military. The craft was about 8.4 to 8.7 meters in diameter and about 3.5 meters high, shaped like deep inverted saucer on top, installed on top of each other, with a rim or flat plate between the two parts. On top the disk possessed a small dome. The central rim was segmented by zigzagging structures. On the bottom, there were 3 landing props (they were possibly not outside when the disk was found). A door was opened on the lower section of the disk. The most amazing fact for the retrieval team was that the disk was apparently larger inside than what it looked from outside. The disk was transported to 29 Palms Marine corps base in Southern California (to an underground bunker), where it was placed suspended in a heavy net hanging from a large crane. A photographer was called from Norton AFB, California to photograph the object. The bodies of three aliens were found inside the craft. All three were dwarfs, about 1.0 meter in height, with extremely pale white "skin" (it was later established during an autopsy at Wright Patterson AFB that the white skin was merely a protective covering like pellicle and beneath it, was the real skin, which was lizard-like, and greenish-blue-gray in color). The entities had large black round eyes, and large hairless heads. All three dwarfs were dressed in tight-fitting blue jumpsuits and had 3 fingers both on their hands and legs, with claws and webs. The bodies were later moved to Wright Patterson AFB by aircraft from the 29 Palms base. After a preliminary examination in 29 Palms, the disk was moved to the S4 underground base in Nevada. In February 1993 the disk was removed from S4 and taken to a new underground base on the White Sands missile range, New Mexico, where it is still located at the present. The origin of the disk was established as HD 5015 Cassiopeia Star system, 60 light years from Earth. (This is obviously a more in depth description of the # 2 case and the # 15 cases in the file).

The witness had stopped on the side of the road to cool the truck after climbing a steep pass on the I-15 which was a two lane road in 1973. He then saw a bright light on ground across the road. He thought it would be an RV and then walked across the highway to see if he could get water for the truck. At this point he realized that the light was up in the sky. He looked up and saw a triangle shaped craft with light coming from it. Very frightened he ran back to the truck and began to drive towards the next town. At this point he felt telepathic communication apparently from the craft telling him not to be afraid. The fear immediately left and a sense of calm and excitement both physical and emotional took over. He then drove to the small town and got the attention of several youngsters working at a gas station. He pointed the light out to them and they seemed not to be interested in it, apparently they had been seeing it for years. A crowd gathered and they all saw the craft descend and ascend on several occasions, clearly displaying its triangular shape. The witness believes there was an hour of missing time.

An anonymous 20-year old man, on night guard at a lumberyard, observed a wildly maneuvering light that approached and a point over the nearby ocean, at some 20 meters above the water and hovered, at which time a transparent tube-like extension emerged and descended to the water, apparently taking on water. The operation was accompanied by a strange "cicada-like" sound, and the tube glowed until the operation was finished. The tube withdrawn, the object then approached the witness to a point some 50 meters above his head and he could see through lighted windows around the center several figures. One was visible through a center window and two more two windows to the right. They were "too small and deformed to be called the shadows of men." During this the witness experienced a feeling of being bound hand and foot; he then noticed several more ball-like objects in the same vicinity; they were quickly withdrawn into the larger object and the UFO moved off rapidly into the north.

The witness had gotten up to give her baby her bottle and had gone downstairs to warm the bottle in the kitchen. All of the sudden she had the urge to go upstairs to the bedroom and look out the window. When she came to the window a huge saucer-shaped object was hovering above the telephone wires. The craft covered the entire parking lot. The windows were long rectangular shaped and blinked multi-colored lights. The whole light section rotate and she could see fine ridges, which reminded her of stainless steel. It had a bottom section, which was recessed into the craft. This may have been the landing platform. She very much wanted to wake her husband but she could only look at him. For some reason she couldn't speak. Inside the object she was able to see a silver-suited man that seemed solid enough but could disappear at will. He had high cheekbones, blue eyes, and a high forehead. His hair was white and stood high, which could have made his forehead seem higher. He had square shoulders and stood about 6 foot two. His silver suit looked very soft and seemed to be in one piece. The boots were attached to a belt in the center of his waist. He gave the witness the feeling of being very old but appeared to be only in his fifties. He projected peace and love with a smile of an angel. (The witness and her young daughter were to have further contacts).

Their recollection of this event is really fuzzy but one of them recalls floating over many rolling hills, greener than he had ever seen and being taken into a "cave" (underground base?) like place. Both boys were talked to for what seemed like hours and then were taken into a room where one of them had his eyes checked. He could remember the pain but not the reason for it. Their next memory was of getting yelled at by their parents for being late for dinner. The next morning when he woke up he was not able to see through his left eye, later he wasn't able to see colors. He was taken to the doctor where he was told that his eye had been somehow damaged.

The craft remained motionless for several seconds, until a commercial plane went by; the UFO followed it for a few moments before going away toward the sea. It seems that this phenomenon was also observed by a newspaperman of the local daily and by a group of office employees of the Argentine National Airlines.

An ungodly looking creature created havoc among the local god-fearing Amish community. Witnesses described the creature as following: The size of a good heifer, gray in color with a white mane. It had tiger like fangs and curved horns like a Billy goat. It ran upright on long legs, and had long grizzly claws. In one incident, the creature sent a team of horses and two brothers flying when it approached their hay wagon. The following day, a man was cutting weeds on his farm about five miles from the previous incident when he heard a fierce roar and turned to see a monster with three horns and a tail charging in his direction. He raised his scythe to defend himself, only to have the implement ripped from his hands. At that point, the man wisely decided to turn both cheeks to the monster and escaped as fast as he could run. A day later a woman was feeding poultry on a farm midway between the two earlier incidents when she heard a commotion and turned to see the creature in the act of snatching a goose in each of its hands. She bravely ran toward the thing, waving her apron. The woman managed to recover one of her geese when the creature threw it at her, knocking her to the ground in the process.

Edmund, a 19-year old youth from the Amparo settlement, was in the fruit garden of the farm when he noticed agitation among the nearby fruit trees, although the afternoon was calm and all the other trees motionless. Investigating, he discovered a strange spherical object 2 meters wide hovering just above the ground. Atop the sphere was a 10-meter tall contraption that consisted of a cylindrical rod surmounted by a cone shaped device that fanned outward toward the top. The entire object had a metallic sheen and revolved slowly. Edmund approached to within a meter but apprehensive, retreated to a distance of about 4 meters. At this point an aperture appeared in the side of the craft with a loud bang; from it emerged a small humanoid figure in a one-piece suit that covered his head. Strapped to his back was a rather large, squarish backpack. The entity did not walk, but floated, with a "feverish" swinging of arms and legs in midair. The entity approached Edmund to within a distance of a meter, at which time the youth became panic stricken and fled, seeking others at the farmhouse.

Margaret and Christine were leaving the park after a visit. Following a lane out of the park they came to a junction where the green ended and a housing estate began. A car drew up quietly behind them. At this point two things happened simultaneously: the radio went dead and the car engine cut out. As if they eyes were drawn by a magnet, Christine, in the back seat with her young friend, looked to the left across an area of open ground. Heading towards them strode two veritable giants moving in a rather mechanical manner, like machines rather than living beings. Both wore one-piece silver suits, emphasizing their over large heads. Christine cannot be sure how long it took the entities to cover the space that separated them, but she does have a vivid memory of the strange beings getting closer and closer to the car, and the car simply refusing to start. When the two beings were almost up to the window, within yards of where Christine sat frozen and unable to move, she experienced a choking sensation and, it seems, passed out. What happened next is a mystery. When Christine came to, she saw the backs of the two giants as they returned in the direction they had come from. Moments after they had disappeared from view, a cone of light spread around the trees at the edge of the field, as if marking the path of an object heading skywards. At this precise moment the car engine roared into life, as did the radio. A human voice was also heard---the driver of the vehicle behind had rushed up and shouted: "What the bloody hell was that?" When Christine arrived home she noticed that there had been a considerable time lapse.

At a local camping site the witness was walking to her girlfriend's house when she noticed a huge saucer-shaped craft hovering over some nearby treetops. There was no one around and she felt a sense of "isolation" as she watched the object. In a lighted window or "cockpit" the witness saw a figure or "being" that appeared to be operating some controls. At this point several small reddish spheres of light emerged from the bottom of the craft and began circling the area. Afraid the witness ran home and did not see the object depart. A strange thought came to her mind during the encounter as if she was "meant to see this".

A security guard, Benito Rojo Pasten, keeping watch over an old disused mining operation heard his dogs barking and was unable to sleep. Armed with a flashlight he went out the porch to check. He soon noticed a dark "form" standing nearby and focused his flashlight on it. Apparently surprised, the creature jumped up and at the same time Pasten felt his arm and hand becoming numb and cold. He only felt the sensation on the hand, which he held the flashlight. He was able to illuminate the creature for a few seconds and noticed that it was covered in dark brown hair with a large head and a wide body; it had a very wide thorax. He did not see any eyes or facial features; it was about 1.20m in height. The creature then bounded away and disappeared into the darkness. The witness felt so much cold that he had to put on a jacket.

Three friends were sitting in lawn chairs in the driveway when they heard a low hum and looked overtop the garage. There was an object which appeared like half an egg, silver metallic with an orange and blue glow about it. It was slowly descending to about twenty feet from the roof when one of them yelled, "Stop! You'll crush the garage!" Whereupon it did stop, and flew away rapidly. Two days later, one of the witnesses heard the same sound, went outside to his dog and saw the same object, now at street level. It was about 25 to 30 ft in diameter, and only three to four feet off the ground. He walked toward it, compelled to do so, and he felt numb. The dog barked and he snapped out of it and backed away. The object then drifted away, angled upward and was gone.

She could not distinguish any facial features and everything became confused. She suddenly found herself surrounded by a sort of mist or fog and the two humanoids were moving towards her in a slow and deliberate fashion. She felt totally paralyzed as she could not scream or move a muscle. Her last memory was of one of the humanoids touching her head with its hand.

A week or ten days later after observing a mysterious light maneuvering in the sky, the witness had to return to Phoenix for more things and she asked her brother to go along with her for company. While driving up a hill somewhere in the vicinity of Indio, she began to receive pictures in her mind and had a sense of presence. These "images" came in grays and browns; she would counter them by thinking of bright colors. She could sense a kind of puzzlement regarding her color images. She found the "gray" images unpleasant, and had the sense of an interior, with gray green walls, which had three vague "forms" in it. Feeling that she was daydreaming and tired, she forced her concentration back to her driving and noticed colors reflecting on the dashboard and asked her brother if there was something in the sky. She and her brother both observed briefly a light over the highway changing colors from blue, to green, to red, to yellow, then to a brilliant white. Then it vanished, in view less than a minute. Her brother was very excited. The trip continued, apparently uneventfully. Later under hypnotic regression the main witness is asked to examine d her image of gray interior more closely. She describes the gray-green walls, with at least one black line, or slot, on the back wall. She is with three vague shapes or "shadows." It's not a pleasant place; she feels there's another experience at another time. She is asked to go back to that experience and she finds herself in another room with a window looking out on an orange sky. There is a white bench in the room. The room is very sterile. Then she finds herself in a huge place with a domed ceiling; she is standing beside a 20-foot high crystal, set at an angle so that it points toward the sky. It's green on the bottom half, and it turns. There are other similar crystals in this place; about five in all, they are hooked to a large piece of machinery. It's similar to a generator. The crystal is connected to the machine by a rod. The whole room hums. There are two other people with her; one dressed in gray, looks older, with grayish hair. The younger man, in black, is taller. They point out a formula to her, which is on the wall; it is composed of script letters. She is brought out of the trance and is given the post hypnotic suggestion that she will recall the formula and be able to reproduce it on a piece of drawing paper, which she does.

Four boys, Medardo Martinez, Hipolito Garcia, Hernan Manjarras and Mario Fernandez Ramirez, pupils at a local middle school were outside of town and were approaching a ravine known as "El Jordan" which lies just a few miles distant from Ibague. They were on an expedition to gather botanical specimens from the semi-dry bed of a nearby rivulet. Arriving at the banks of the stream, the boys observed with vast astonishment four small beings no more than 20cm in height standing beneath and slightly in front of a little stone footbridge and seemingly engaged in searching for something in the mud or the river bed. The boys described the little creatures as "dressed in white with tiny gray caps on their heads, and with human-like features." The boys walked on towards them, and then suddenly the little creatures were gone, "disappearing in the air as though by magic." There is no account of any machine or craft having been seen. After their initial shock and surprise the boys stepped down into the bed of the stream and found a whole series of tiny footprints in the mud. A photograph shows some six or seven of these marks, which certainly look quite deep. Later an anonymous policeman reportedly saw the same or similar creatures in the same area.

It was about 60 feet wide and had "lots of windows" around it. She first thought the kids had erected a tree house with old stolen windows, but saw it was too large, and above the trees. She could see a single figure "he couldn't be very tall for sure," walking from window to window. The windows were brightly lit from within. Scared, she and her niece went indoors, with the intention of looking at it through a bedroom window. When they got there, the object was gone.

He could see what he thought were men with helmets and goggles. He felt no fear and kept trying to get closer. There was no sound. The men were moving around inside as if not seated because one would move behind the other as if walking around. The location was a wooded area with a gravel road that the military would use to have access to a water reserve building. Suddenly two men wearing military clothing came out running out of the woods and grabbed him so hard that it hurt his back. The man that picked him up was breathing very hard, his chest heaving. They ran with him back into the woods and he watched a triangular shaped craft very slowly fly straight up. At a barbed wire fence the man handed the witness to another man. She remembers the men looking over him and bouncing him up and down as to calm a crying baby. Other men came and one was a priest.

Elizabeth Richmond and her husband were returning home on State Road 24 when they sighted a red glowing object rounded on the top and flat on the bottom. It was sun-like, four times as wide as the sun and much redder. It hovered, appeared solid, and had an outline. The next thing they recalled was seeing the sun in the west, realizing that what they had just seen was not the sun. When they got home they realized that they had arrived an hour later than they should have arrived. Years later under hypnosis Elizabeth recalled that the car had lifted quickly off the road and in an instant they were inside the bottom of the huge circular craft. Alien beings quickly but gently took them out of the car and into separate rooms. The beings were about 4 or 5 ft tall with large dome shaped baldheads, huge black wrap-around eyes, small noses, and slits for mouths. They had long dangling arms with claw-like nails, and were dressed in metallic like gray jumpsuits. Elizabeth lay on a table with three aliens on each side and one at her feet. She was terrified but could not scream. One alien took hold of her hand and told her telepathically no to be afraid. An instrument was put up her nose into her head. She felt nothing. Then she was put into a sitting position and something was done to the back of her head. The aliens discovered that she was wearing a wig. This caused some merriment, and one alien touched his own baldhead, perhaps indicating they should wear them. After that she was carried to another room and the alien who had held her arm came in and sat before her. Taking her hands in his, he said his name was "Maag" and he was happy to see her again. She was told that she and he had been mates and that that they had two daughters who were now aboard the spacecraft. He asked to see them. The humanoid then touched a light, doors opened and two beautiful aliens entered the room. They rushed across the room and embraced Elizabeth. They said she had volunteered to reincarnate on Earth (as did many others) to help usher in a new era of world peace, and we would learn more about it later---when the time was right.

Epsom racetrack jockey Peter Leather observed a domed disc with a rim, flashing and surrounded by a blue haze, land on the downs near the edge of the racecourse. An entity of humanoid appearance and about 5-feet tall emerged from the object, but was too far away to be seen in any detail. He carried in his hand an implement like a flashlight, although this did not emit a beam of light. Frightened, the witness ran form the area and did not see its departure. Examination of the site the next day disclosed no traces.

The witness remembers waking up in the middle of the night and being approached by a man dressed in all white. He took her by the hand and then both appeared to be flying over a gray choppy sea. They flew towards a huge octagonal shaped object with large windows, which seemed to hover just above the water. Next she was inside the object. Inside she saw several men and women in blue coveralls sitting and operating various consoles and terminal screens. A beautiful woman with long blond hair came over to the witness and spoke to her. She told the witness that they were monitoring the earth and were able to control certain disasters for their own interests and to prevent over-population.

Conner Corey, a part time preacher, was driving at 50 mph when he saw in his rear view mirror a small dark green "car" with front fenders like 2 small barrels, which was approaching his car from the rear. It came closer, now looking more like a van; in it were 2 figures with shoulder length hair. There was a humming sound like a swarm of bees. Then it "hooked up" to his car, and with a bright flash the 2 men disappeared. After this he watched the mirror as if it were a TV screen. First he saw something like water spilling, then a room "like the NBC News Room." Into this room came (through a trap door) 3 men, 2 of whom were dressed like doctors in grayish or light blue uniforms. They seemed to be conferring with the 3d man. Then they too disappeared, and he saw a view of scenery as if seen from an airplane, with the moon (or the earth) looming up on the horizon. A dark cross, looking like a water area, from which 2 persons emerged, at first in the remote distance, but coming closer as if on a conveyor belt followed this. As they approached, a blinking light illuminated them, and he could see that they were wearing gray greenish uniforms with a cloak and a sash tied in front. Just as they reached the rear window, the scene vanished. The car had traveled about ľ mile while these things were seen.

The witness was a passenger in a semi-trailer on Route 2 en-route to Perth. She awoke to observe a brightly lit egg shaped object on the ground to the left of the road. Walking towards an open door was a normal sized figure of human appearance; a second occupant was seen seated within the object, through a squarish window, looking upward at something in the vehicle. As the truck passed, the light rapidly faded until, by the time she got the driver to stop, only a single white light was visible. Both figures wore white silvery suits. She said she had been awakened by a "voice" just prior to her observation.

Walking toward the copse, they encountered a man 6.5-7 ft tall, wearing a 2-piece garment of dark green denim like material with an "anorak" type hood almost completely covering his face. He held a silver object resembling a flashlight. The man shouted in a resonant voice; "Move on-go away!" McClure shouted, "Will you harm us?" There was no reply, he then asked, "Will you come back?" The answer was "Yes." Another member of the group followed this man into the copse, where he vanished while the witness attention was diverted for a moment.

Two 17-year old boys, driving north on Rte 7 from Westchester County, saw a large oval object with flashing colored lights when they were several miles south of town. The object hovered just over the ridge on the west side of the Housatonic River, and they stopped and got out for a better look and were joined by another couple, a boy and girl also driving back from Westchester. Meanwhile on Spooner Hill, to the east, a witness on his way to visit his friends, a young married couple, saw the same object and when he arrived at his friend's house, he called them outside. By this time the object had dropped behind the ridge, although they could still see its lights shining over the crest of the hill. They got into the witness car and drove down the hill to Route 7, where they met the four younger people. All seven then drove north into town to bring back two additional witnesses. The large object was no longer visible, but they now saw a dozen or so smaller whitish lights maneuvering in a circular pattern just this side of the ridge. These lights then separated into a single line and proceeded north toward Mt. Algo, just southwest of the main section of town. The witnesses got into their cars and followed the lights toward Kent. The two additional witnesses were dropped off in town while the other seven turned west on Rte. 341 and crossed the bridge over the river, heading toward Mt. Algo. There they turned south on Schaghticoke Road, which runs along the base of the mountain, to Bonu's Field, an open spot about a mile south. The group assembled there briefly but was unable to see anything. Meanwhile, at about the same time, a separate group of three teenage girls, camping out in one of their backyards along the Housatonic, observed a line of lights descending Mt. Algo on its steep north side. The witnesses at Bonu's field had gotten back in their cars and drove north again to the junction of Rte 341, where they discovered a small white car parked, which had not been there a few minutes earlier. They parked their cars and the two younger boys got out and asked the occupants of the white car (two unidentified girls) if they had seen anything unusual. They said that they were waiting for a group of hikers who had told them an hour earlier that they were "hiking over the mountain" and that the girls should meet them there. Just then a group of 15 to 20 "hikers" came jogging down Schaghticoke Road from the same direction the young people had just driven (they had not seen anyone on the road). Each "hiker" had a lighted hat like a miner's hat on his head and they all carried poles or "rods." They were mumbling or "chanting" and approached in a double column. They did not answer the boy's questions as they passed on either side of them, when asked where they'd come from. According to the young people, the "hikers" apparently turned right at Rte 341 and headed towards Kent. However, when they all got back in their cars and drove after them, the "hikers" were nowhere to be seen-as though they had disappeared into thin air. According to the two young men and the younger couple, there were at least two hours they could not account for. The three older people could not recall what they did or where they went after the "hikers' passed. Hypnotic regression was apparently attempted, but the results are not described.

They could see three lighted windows and behind them several occupants that appeared to be looking down. They were described as having large oblong shaped heads that seemed too big for their thin necks. They appeared to be leaning on something, and their long skinny arms were crossing each other. The craft suddenly turned its lights off and ascended rapidly out of sight.

The witness was driving a truck from L'Anse about dusk when he saw a silver gray object, about 80 ft in diameter, glide across the road to hover just above the car in front of him. The car abruptly stopped, and he had to brake hard to avoid hitting it. As he stopped the truck he saw a woman get out of the car ahead and kneel down in the grass to pray with a rosary. He ran to the woman and found she was not hurt; meanwhile the object hovered overhead at an altitude of about 90 ft. It then moved off to the west to hover again, while it hovered its bottom lights were multicolored, but when it moved they turned magenta purple. There was a red "stone like" light on top of a windowed cupola. At this time he saw in a window the silhouette of a man with short blond hair; he waved, and the man waved back. Then the UFO rose, with a "high hum" and shot away to the NE. He found that the woman had not seen the UFO. His batteries were now normal.

Joseph Cottrell, 42, a machinery inspector, went outside for a breath of air and saw a glowing ball "like a ball of fireflies" 500 yards away. He began to walk toward it, upon which it "burst" into 7 smaller units which rapidly and silently approached him, glowing alternately red, white, and green. They came to a stop about 100 ft away and an altitude of 50 ft, and he saw they were 6-9 ft in diameter. Realizing that "there were alien beings inside the glowing balls," he asked "Why me"? Telepathically he heard an answer, "Why not you?" After 10-15 minutes he ran back to his house, loaded his camera, and returned with his son, Wayne, and a shotgun; Wayne carried a 22-caliber rifle. The luminous objects were now 120-150 ft away at an altitude of 35 ft, in a group of 4 and another 3. He heard a telepathic question "Are you going to shoot us?" He replied "No." Then a beam of light appeared at his feet, and passed all over his body, pausing at sites of old injuries. He thought, "They were making a Xerox copy of me." The intensity of the beam was increased to a point where he felt very uncomfortable; when he complained, it was reduced again. Meanwhile he was carrying on a telepathic conversation; "I was imprinted with a new world of friendly alien being." They showed him pictures of "glass like cities, energy systems and components", and warned against nuclear energy as dangerous. About an hour passed, and the objects had come very close; Mr. Cottrell realized that "they wanted us to go with them." He raised his hands in protection; the objects immediately returned to their former position, and after a few minutes disappeared.

Julian Garside was riding home from work on a friend's motorbike when the two young men saw 3 bright triangular lights, or shapes, gliding uphill through the woods near the road. They stopped and, out of curiosity, decided to follow. The shapes speeded up and the boys noticed an odor like burning oil. When they reached the top of the hill, a quarter mile from the road, the figures had vanished; above them, however, they observed a small, round orange light, like a road crossing beacon. It vanished in about a minute. There had been no path through the woods, and the three objects (or figures) appeared to glide straight through the undergrowth, leaving no traces. The odor of oil was the only trace left behind.

The main witness was walking through a local park along with some friends when a strange heavy mist began enveloping the area. There seemed to be a silvery glow coming from the center of the mist and the witness felt strongly attracted towards it. As she got closer she saw a beautiful silvery object or "starship" on the ground. She went inside the object and saw several of her friends being led towards different sections of the object. She was taken to a large circular room of transparent blue color with two transparent doors at each end. The occupants of the object were all apparently beautiful human like beings. Through a large window she saw a woman sitting on what appeared to be a communications console. The witness sat on a chair in the center of the room and ate from a bowl of fruit on a table. A man entered the room and walked into what appeared to be a circular shower stall, removed some dirty coveralls, the stall lit up and the man then emerged wearing shiny clean coveralls. The witness felt that she experienced some type of mind transplant or control onboard the object, which changed her life.

While picking up mushrooms on the woods on Mont Real, the witness observed a 4-foot tall dwarf standing at the edge of the clearing 100 feet away. As he grabbed something from the ground a second identical being joined him from the woods beyond. They looked perfectly human and wore beige coveralls that covered them up the wrists and neck; their feet were obscured by high grass. Their arms were slender and their hands normal. Each wore a black beret on his head. Thinking they were children, the witness called out to them, whereupon they laughed aloud, then turned and fled into the brush behind them. A few seconds later, the witness saw a dull blue gray oval shaped object, about 5 meters wide, rise up beyond the trees, ascending to a height of 20 feet, making a slight whistling sound. There it paused briefly, then departed toward the northeast rapidly and in total silence. At the landing site, a bush, and some grass had been flattened, suggesting that the object had been hovering a foot or so above the ground.

He got to the bottom of the exit ramp of the Ohio Turnpike and watched the object at about 500 feet in the air and had a circular bottom. The object then passed overhead. It was then about 100 feet up and was totally silent. The witness followed the object, which was moving at about 35mph and still descending not much faster than his car. Then at the intersection of Webster and Pearl the object stopped and hovered over the intersection in front of the witness, and about 25 ft up. He estimated the diameter of its base at 30 ft and it was bell-shaped about 15 ft tall with a dome-like top. Its color was gray gunmetal. It had no visible apertures or opening son it, or any identification symbols. At this point the witness radio was crackling badly and unintelligible. Two cars had come up behind me and both had pulled to the side of the road. The witness also pulled up to the side of the road and looked up when suddenly the object was gone.

A man out deer hunting when a bright whitish glowing ball landed gently on three brightly polished legs that retracted out from the body of the UFO. It sat there silently, except for two beeps it made. "I couldn't see a seam, crack, or rivet in the thing anywhere. It was perfectly round and I would say it was seven feet through the middle." Suddenly a door opened---all of the sudden it was there…it began to let right down to the ground, hinged from the bottom and it made a ramp. He expected something to come out, but nothing happened. The incident lasted about five minutes. When it left it took off at a tremendous speed. It left so fast that he couldn't see it after it got to 100 feet in the air, it just disappeared. The hunter then rushed into the field where the object had been. The UFO had left a lingering whitish vapor and when he breathed this in he felt discomfort, his chest started hurting and he couldn't breathe, it felt like his lungs were too full and wanted to burst. But when he got back out of it and got some fresh air he felt better.

Upon investigating the source the men spotted an oval-shaped metallic object on the ground. The object was silvery in color and emitted neon-like orange lights that changed colors to blue, red, etc. A strange man-like figure, metallic or robot like in appearance stood next to the object. He either wore a reflective metallic suit or was himself made out of metal; his body emitted bright silvery flashes. While on the ground the object emitted a sound resembling that of a transformer. Soon the strange character disappeared into the object, which then rose up moving up and down like a yo-yo, it then accelerated and disappeared at high speed.

A "man" suddenly appeared and came up to the witness, putting his left hand on the witness shoulder and offered "reassuring words." The man was about 2 meters tall thin, wearing a uniform like aluminum; a large helmet rested on his shoulders with a snorkel like tube on the right side. His face was "like a human face covered with a nylon stocking" with slanted eyes. He carried something like a pistol in his right hand, pointed at the ground. He asked the witness where he was going; he replied, "To my job." The being then said he must return to the "object" and told the witness not to inspect it too closely. He entered it from beneath, and it rose vertically, with a sound like a swarm of bees, and then moved off horizontally. The motorcycle then started normally.

It appeared to be only 6 ft wide and 3 ft high. They drove on and had passed Alijo when they heard a humming sound again, this time modulated and rhythmic. At the same time the driver "began to notice some difficulties with his motor." However no object was seen. About 5 km from Villa Real they came upon a bright green luminous cylindrical object resting on the road. Lisboa braked and just managed to avoid it. At the same moment, the passengers in the car noticed two flashing red lights on the left side of the road, at the level of the roadside gravel. As they approached they saw that these lights were on the tip of 20' antennas on the helmets of two short men in astronaut costume, who were lying on their backs beside the road, their feet toward the road. Their suits were shiny and "lead-like", giving the impression of a malleable foil, and they wore spherical helmets with rectangular windows, and gloves on their hands. The car passed within 6 ft of these beings, who were about 5 ft tall. Frightened, Lisboa tried to accelerate, but the car was slow to respond. As they passed the men and the green object, they could hear "an indistinct gurgling sound." Then they saw the two humanoids rise from the ground, rigidly without moving their arms or legs. They had small "knapsacks" on their backs. The two humanoids then rose into the air, and disappeared form view above the car.

Calling her husband, they observed the figure glide down the path and leap over the gate at the back of the property, like "an astronaut on the moon." They dashed outside and Gerry took after the figure, which had by now disappeared. As they looked around, Gerry noticed the figure now on the golf course on the other side of the road, approaching in his direction. As it approached the wire fence near the road, it hesitated, and then climbed under the wire. The figure then re-entered the Armstrong's property and moved toward an abandoned cottage, disappearing behind it. They did not see him again: it was as if he had disappeared into thin air. The figure was of normal size and dressed in a tight fitting red jumpsuit with attached hood that covered the head. The face was open, but they could not make out any features.

They were 4-foot tall and were dressed in white outfits like monks habits, with tight belts around their waists; on their heads they wore cowls with two points that hung on their shoulders. They seemed to be looking for something on the ground by the walkway between her house and a nearby school and had instruments in their hands. They wore wide, blunt shoes. One of the little men looked toward the house and apparently saw the witness "with my nose against the window" for he appeared startled and said something to the other two, unheard by the witness; all three turned at once and moved off quickly "with very small fast steps." Going to another window in the house to see if she could see more, the witness discovered a glowing red, spherical object of 2 or 2.5 meters in diameter at a distance from the house of 35 or 40 meters. She went to wake up her husband; when they looked for the object it had disappeared.

At this point just as his grandmother was racing out of the house, the craft rose 50 ft in the air and then shot away at incredible speed. The witness felt terrible fear during the encounter.

While driving late at night a man saw a light flashing to his left, then right, then in front. It gained speed and disappeared ahead of his car. He lost conscious memory while driving at 70 mph, and regained consciousness driving at 85-90 mph on the same highway. On arrival at his home in Cleveland he discovered a lapse of time he could not account for of 55 minutes to an hour and twenty-five minutes. A series of disturbing psychic experiences had occurred to the witness before and after this time. Under regressive hypnosis the witness saw himself turning off I-71, asking himself "Why am I doing this?" and driving down a dark, narrow tree-lined road, seeing three beings on the road, one with both arms and legs outstretched, forming the silhouette of an X. Two others were closer to his car. He next saw two sets of eyes ahead and a face forming and shimmering to his left. Each set of eyes was projected into his brain and out again. His next impression was of approaching a craft with a door on the upper side. He felt terror but as he passed through the door he felt relief. He next felt himself lying on a table and saw beings with a silvery metallic look. One was bending over looking at his legs. A brightly lighted instrument was brought close to his head, hurting his eyes. Presently he was out of the craft, standing and watching it lift off. It was black, outlined by a shimmering white light.

The main witness, a young man at the time, was fishing in the river with his grandfather when suddenly the lantern went out and all the normal night animal noises ceased (crickets, etc). As his grandfather attempted to re-light the lantern without success the witness saw two crafts flying at about 45degrees from the ground, one behind the other. The front craft had a very bright bluish light on the left front corner, which shone only on that side. The witness then picked up a flashlight and pointed directly at the craft. Terrified his grandfather told him not to shine the light at the objects. As the two of them picked up their belongings to leave the area, two more similar crafts flew overhead, the crafts were rectangular in shaped, black in color and with pinkish lighting inside, flat in the bottom and rounded edges. For some unknown reason it took the witnesses four hours to get home that night. Later on the witness was able to recall being in a strange room with his grandfather, both of them naked, sitting on a metallic bench, the room was lit up from an unknown light source that seemed to originate from the walls. His grandfather seemed to be in a trance looking straight ahead, with knees together and elbows on his side and hands on his lap. A tall humanoid figure stood to the right of the witness behind what resembled a very wide medical table. He could only describe the humanoid as resembling a bipedal "lizard" or reptilian in nature. The reptilian humanoid told the witness to lie down on the "table". The humanoid then touched him and he blacked out. He woke later and stood up; he was then led to a dark hall, turned right and came upon a square of wriggling blue watery light on the floor. The witness had an uncanny feeling that he could stare into the bluish light "forever". The reptilian humanoids communicated telepathically and appeared to be able to read the witness's mind. That's all the witness is able to recall but he has been involved in other sightings. Years later he removed a very small object from his body, domed shaped with a small coil-like antenna sticking out of it.

Jeff Martin was fishing at a lake with two companions. His friends had gone off to another part of the lake when Martin heard something behind him. He turned and saw, about 20 ft away, an apelike figure watching. At least Martin thought it was apelike, since it was dusk and visibility was poor. Frightened, he called to the being, which did not respond. For some reason, though, Martin felt better about the situation, and was almost sorry when the creature slipped away. A few minutes later something touched his shoulder. Martin, who was sitting, whirled his head around and saw a sandy-colored anthropoid creature. The creature ran away with amazing swiftness, Martin in hot pursuit. It moved in running leaps, "like a man on a rope being pulled too fast by a car." As it crossed the road, the witness would hear its feet slapping on the blacktop. It turned around one last time, leaped over a ditch, and disappeared into the woods. Shortly afterwards a glowing bronze object shot out of the trees and into the sky, fading away so quickly that the whole series of events seemed nearly instantaneous. The following evening, Martin, his fiancé Nellie Floyd, Gene Floyd, and two friends drove to the spot, trailed all the way by a white, glowing star-like light. The object disappeared near a bridge not far from where Martin had seen the creature. When they got to that spot, the creature was waiting for them. The thing was about eight or nine ft tall was standing in tall weeds. The observers turned their flashlight on it and noticed a very curious detail: The beams seemed somehow "weaker" on the creature, which stood motionless, almost as if in a trance, giving off a musty odor. Oddly, its presence did not seem to disturb the crickets, frogs, or other wildlife. They hurled some rocks at it, but the creature seemed to ignore them. When the witness had to move their vehicle due to incoming traffic, the creature disappeared.

While driving south on A-1A from Jupiter Island, one of the occupants in the vehicle saw an egg-shaped object, hovering above the shoreline, approximately 50 feet above the water. The distance to the vehicle was only about 30-35 ft, as the road was well above the water's edge. The craft was silent and as the sunset, it was cast against the stars that were appearing. A beam of white light was emitted from the underside of the craft and seemed to search the bottom of the shoreline. As the passenger attempted to get the attention of the others the beam of light hit the car. The next thing the witness recalls is that everyone in the vehicle is as though in a trance. The witness then asked the other if they had heard him trying to get their attention and they all said no.

Two men, Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing from an old pier in an abandoned shipyard on the Pascagoula River. Shortly after nightfall Hickson, looking around to bait his hook, saw a domed, football shaped object descend until it hovered just off the ground about 30 ft away from them. The craft had two windows and two blue lights, and made a buzzing sound. When the object landed, an unseen door opened to reveal a brilliantly lit interior. Three beings came out and floated toward the witnesses. These beings were about five ft tall. Their skin was so gray and rough, like elephant skin that they looked like mummies. No clothes were apparent. On their faces was something about two inches long that came out to a point and resembled a nose. They had a slit for a mouth, which never opened, if they had eyes, Hickson couldn't see them, as the area above the nose was too wrinkled. They had no neck and their ears were pointed and retractable. Their arms were unusually long, and their hands were like mittens with a thumb attached. Their legs never moved but stayed together like a pedestal. Their feet were elephant-like. When two of the beings grabbed Hickson by the arms, he felt a pain in his left shoulder. This immobilized him and allowed his captors to lift and float Hickson over and into the craft. The third being seized Parker, who immediately went limp. Once inside, Hickson was nearly blinded by the light but was unable to close his eyes. He saw no furniture inside, only a screen-like device on the wall. He hung suspended in the air at a 45-degree angle while an eyelike device appeared out of the wall in front of his face and circled around him. The beings that held Hickson during his examination moved in a stiff mechanical way but did their work with speed and efficiency. One made a buzzing sound. The beings then disappeared for some time. When they returned, they grasped Hickson again and floated him through the opening, which had reappeared, and took him back to the place where they had found him. His legs collapsed when he touched the ground. Parker stood by with a terrified look on his face. Meanwhile the buzzing sound and blue light resumed, and the craft rose straight up and disappeared almost instantly. Hickson "heard" a message in his mind that the beings were peaceful. One of the witnesses, Hickson, subsequently reported three other incidents, one of which apparently involved the same beings. Two involved telepathic communication only and the transfer of information that was not disclosed.

Nancy, 22 and her boyfriend Jim were camping at Phantom Lake with another couple and the couple's baby; Nancy and Jim, just settled down in the camper for the night, were awakened by a bright light shining through the back window. Then the camper door suddenly burst open. They saw a bright saucer shaped object about to land, descending in a zigzag motion; on the ground, the glowing object then disgorged a variety of about 20 figures, male, who approached the camper slowly. One appeared to be a black man; a second was similar to a swami, standing on one leg with his other leg wrapped around his head. A disembodied face appeared in the camper telling them not to be afraid. About seven of the men stood in a semi-circle 10 feet away form the van door. One of the seven men had dark curly hair and was dressed in blue jeans and a red plaid shirt; he held a German shepherd in each hand by a leash. The group of figures stood there for about 10 minutes staring silently at the witnesses, who cowered inside the van in great fright. A man carried a scroll. Three more beings, different from the others and only four-foot tall, came out of the "space ship" and moved about the area very quickly, "just sort of running around." They seemed to glow a whitish green color. One of these perched in a tree. While this strange assemblage was still present, Jim jumped out of the camper and alerted their friends, asleep in a tent nearby. They were unable to understand what all the excitement was about, being unable to see either "spaceship" or any of the beings. Jim hustled them into the camper, collected all their belongings, found his dog and, with the other couple driving, they took off. En route back to Milwaukee, the couple in the rear of the camper experienced all sorts of odd phenomena, including a glove hand apparition, a presence, and both Nancy and Jim experienced hysteria. The other couple perceived nothing unusual, and believed their friends crazy. They were taken, in fact, directly to an emergency hospital entrance upon return.

Gabriella Versacci was driving pass the Langford Budville exit; she could see that the road was completely deserted. She then saw the glare of a single headlight ahead, it was too bright to be a headlight and it seemed stationary. Suddenly the car seemed to lose power. The headlights flickered, dimmed and then cut out. Next the engine faltered, sputtered then fell silent. Panic-stricken Gabriella pressed her face to the windscreen, struggling to steer the car to a halt in the almost complete blackness. Thinking she could not stay there alone in the vehicle on the side of the road she climbed out the car. Fumbling with the car hood she lifted it. As she stood there helpless, she noticed a humming sound, faint at first then seeming to grow stronger. She could not see the source of the hum, as she stood facing the car door a heavy hand came down on her shoulder, seemingly pushing her down into the ground. Gabriella struggled to face her assailant and saw a tall, dark colored and metallic figure. Gabriella then saw flickering multi-colored lights and blacked out. When Gabriella came to she was standing in a field. The "robot" like figure was standing next to her and before them stood a strange bright object. Half-moon shaped, it was rounded at the top and flat at the bottom. The bright object was silver gray in color and rested on thick legs, she saw two, but there might have been more. It was about 20 ft high and forty feet across. Large, oblong windows punctuated its middle and from these yellow lights issued. Now Gabriella realized that the humming sound was coming from this object. She then blacked out for a second time. She awoke inside a strange room, which she took to be the interior of the object. She found herself in a circular room, strapped to a table in the center. Naked and covered with a light blue blanket. Her wrists were bound to the table by what she described as "large rubber bands." Her spread eagle legs were restrained in the same manner, with the bands holding her ankles to the cold surface of the table. The inside of the craft was freezing. She glanced over to a far wall where the "robot" stood inactive. To her right was a console covered in buttons and dials. The floor was covered in what appeared to be black colored rubber matting. A few moments later, three men that came into view proved her. Two stood to the left of the table while the third went to the foot of the table and picked up some boxes or cubes. He placed three of the objects on a rail, which ran the length of the table, one by her head, one by her feet and one in the middle. As soon as the cubes were placed on the rail they began to glow. The three men were all about the same height, five feet six inches of five feet eight inches. Fair skinned and slim in build they wore the same garments. All wore a skullcap, tied at the back of the head and ending just above the eyes. Facemasks covered the nose and mouth, so only the eyes and facial parts around them were visible. No hair was visible, but she could make out the hair bumps under the caps. The eyes were more rounded than human eyes, and seemed emotionless. All three men wore a tunic with a gray colored edging; long gloves that went to the elbows and very long aprons that fell as far as their ankles. Thick-soled boots covered their feet. Every piece of clothing was light blue in color. Throughout the episode none of the man spoke or made any other noise. They looked at each other frequently, and nodded occasionally. Furthermore they did not appear to breathe, making no respiratory noises. During the examination none of the three beings touched Gabriella. The man at the bottom of the bed took a number of gray colored instruments, which he used one by one. A small knife like implement was used to take a nail paring from her right hand index finger. A blood sample was taken with a small plastic looking bottle with tubes and wires attached. Her blanket was removed and a thin pencil-like device was used to prod and probe her and a large black rubber suction device was used on the area around the groin. Soon the examiner placed another blanket over her, which provided badly needed warmth. Noticing her frequent glances towards the now inactive "robot" the examiner now spoke to her in perfect English. The robot was a trained retriever device. It did all the manual work outside the ship. It brought specimens for examination and study. It was merely a non-thinking intelligence that was programmed to do certain tasks. The examiner spoke in a deep male voice, although Gabriella could not see his mouth move beneath the mask. His eyes never blinked, not even once. His movements appeared practiced, deliberate and precise. When he completed his task, all three men left the room together. After several minutes Gabriella caught sight of the robot again. A flashing purple colored light was coming from it. It did not move but remained by the wall. Soon one of the men came into view from behind her and walked to the far end of the table. He lifted the end of the blanket from the bottom and stared at her body. Fearing that something awful was going to happen Gabriella struggled with her bonds but could not free herself. The being took a small pin and placed it on her thigh. Gabriella stopped struggling immediately. The device caused numbness in every part of her body apart from her head. The being climbed slowly on the bottom of the bed and slowly and without emotion raped her. She felt discomfort but no pain. Soon the three men came into the room and released her from the table. Gabriella looked down on the floor to see her clothes before passing out one more time that night. When she next regained consciousness Gabriella was standing, fully clothed, next to her car in the deserted country road. Distraught she drove home.

A woman was abducted from her home, as well as possibly three of her children and a neighbor boy, and given a medical examination on board a craft. Carrying a "machine" of some sort, three beings lifted the woman from a couch and carried her by the arms. Her next memory was of a big, bright room with lots of "lights and buttons" and glass tubes containing liquid. She observed four or five humanoids on the craft and at least two human like beings. The humanoids did not communicate with her, were coldly efficient, and made her feel like a guinea pig. They were 40-5 feet tall, with head coverings, no noses, and long fish like mouths, orange hands (gloves?) with two or three big claws or fingers that opened "like a clasp." They had large oval eyes that wrapped around the side of the head. The pupils were big, black, and round and move a lot. Their suits were a fluorescent 'silvery and blue," in contrast to the three beings that took her from her home who wore shiny, bright white uniforms. During the exam she was hooked up to a machine, probed with needles, given a blood pressure test and a gynecological exam. The beings were able to read her mind. One of the humans was bald, about 55, and talked with her and helped during the exam. They gave her a shot to make her forget, and then carried her out a door to be reunited with her children. The incident took 45 minutes to an hour.

The witness stated, "I heard a whizzing sound, like golf balls coming by my car." Looking through the windshield, up into the air, a craft was observed about 200 feet above the witness car. But it came down faster than he was driving, and that was about 55 or 60 miles an hour. By the time he skidded to a halt, it was within 75 to 100 ft from him. "Then I saw it wasn't any airplane". The object was silvery in color with bright lights. It was 15 ft in diameter and six ft high. As Brown adjusted his eyes to the bright light he suddenly saw two creatures descend from the craft. "They were about four feet tall. They looked like they had on silver uniforms, including their shoes. With elastic at the ankles, and closed at the neck too. They had silver gloves, and their hair was solid white." He could not see their faces due to the bright lights behind them, but they appeared "reddish." Brown started to exit his vehicle armed with a handgun when the two creatures quickly returned to their craft. The lights went dim and the object took off as Brown fired twice at it. Brown then went to the Madison County Sheriff's office to report the incident.

It was shaped like a cigar with a dome on top and under the dome there were lots of windows, shaped like portholes. The lights were pure white, and the ship was the size of a large hotel emitting a rosy hue all around it. It was about 100 feet overhead. It hovered for a minute and took off in a northerly direction. It was totally silent. They ran back into the house and the main witness thought about calling the sheriff or a radio station but her husband told her she would be making a fool of herself. So she just got a piece of paper and drew a picture of what she had seen, writing down the date and time. Then a strange thing happened to four of the witnesses that night. Her son was scared and asked if he could sleep with his dad while she slept in the guest room. She wasn't frightened when she went to bed but she woke up a few hours later and has never known such fear in her life, she was literally paralyzed with fear. She couldn't move but sensed something evil in their front yard. Next day she asked her son if he got any sleep and he said no, that he was cold and shook all night. She later checked with the other two girls and one had slept on the floor beside her mom and dad and whimpered, the other girl slept with her mom and dad. None of the girls would talk about what they had seen.

Police chief Jeffrey Greenhaw received a call from an exited woman saying that a spaceship had landed west of the town. Although he did not believe in UFOs he decided to go and investigate the report. He took his Polaroid camera, got into his car and drove out. At the alleged landing spot there was nothing. But Greenhaw then decided to look around in the fields before returning. The moment he turned into the first field track, his searchlights picked up a metallic looking figure. The policeman stopped, got out of the car and shouted "Howdy Stranger!" The figure did not react but marched with stiff steps straight towards the police car. Greenhaw took out his camera and took 2 photographs of the figure. About 6 feet away from the car the figure stopped. Greenhaw related later, "At that moment I had one feeling---get away from here---but I felt as if I had been paralyzed and was too afraid to move. I wanted to pull out my gun, but I was afraid of what would happen after that. Then I collected myself and took 2 more photographs." After that he put the camera in the car and switched on the blue lights. When he looked up again he saw the figure running off towards the south with arms stretched down stiffly, the left and right side of the body alternately swaying forwards and backwards. Greenhaw said, "I though it had springs under its feet, for with every step it covered about 9 feet."

The 11-year old witness remembers lying in bed when a very bright light came in through the window and then somehow he ended up in the backyard and seeing a huge craft hovering above his house and the neighbor's house. The craft was near the roof, not even four feet above it. The craft was bigger around than the houses and the bottom was lit up, either one large light or a whole number of lights lit the bottom of the craft. His next memory was of running down his yard and following 5 or 6 humanoids to a field that was called Sandy Hill. After this experience he remembers his mother saying that she had been awake and floating over her bed, she insisted that it hadn't been a dream. The main witness also remembers his brother coming into his room terrified because he had seen several "little men" around his bed.

No UFO was seen, but a diffuse white glow silhouetted a being approaching the group. Later two of the witnesses saw three entities pursuing their slowly retreating car. The entities were wearing one-piece suits with a waist high red light. The head or helmet was square with luminous, rectangular eye slots. One of them wore a gas mask with a veil covering the face. Their gait was slow and mechanical. Meanwhile, in the other car, the other two witnesses twice saw two sets of "red legs" crossing the road and later their car was swung sideways across the road, then back again. Other effects included heat, a smell of burnt insulation tape, and the beings conversing with modulated whistles, one of the cars being shaken while parked, a powerful white light beam and E/M effects on both cars.

A farmer was taking his two "coon" hounds out for a nightly run. On his way returning to the house, the witness's dogs being on leashes, began "tugging" and "acting funny" as they approached a slope in the valley. Reaching the top of the slope, between hi and the house was a ravine that held something out of the ordinary. About three hundred feet away, settled near the base of the wide ravine below him, the witness saw a strange looking craft. The craft was saucer shaped with a bell top, being approximately fifty feet in diameter and dimly lighted. There were two blue and two white lights pulsating. The craft made no sound. The witness could see that the craft was resting on three legs and underneath were three human-like figures in the shadows. One figure was in the process of climbing up what seemed to be a ladder, while the other two, one standing and the other was kneeling on the ground apparently probing or reaching for something. While the visitors were apparently finishing what they came to do, the witness's dogs were just raising hell and becoming uncontrollable. The dogs made so much noise, that the one figure on the ladder stopped and turned to look in their direction. Turning and continuing up the ladder, the figure soon disappeared inside the craft. Several minutes later, the other two followed and raised the ladder into the craft with them. Suddenly the craft began to rise slowly, making a "train like whistle" and shot up into the night sky. That same night a neighbor, Mrs. Wright reported seeing a bright ball of light descending about 2030 near the witness's farm. "It looked like it landed in my neighbor's field".

She dimmed her lights and when she crested the hill she noticed a landed disc shaped object on a nearby cornfield. She slowed the vehicle and saw that the object had a slight dome on top and was glowing with a blue light. She called her husband on the CB radio and described the object but soon static rendered the radio useless. She stopped the vehicle and the next thing she remembered was watching the object taking off at high speed. Later under hypnosis the witness remembered seeing five figures standing around her car looking at her. They were about five-foot tall with pasty white faces and huge elongated eyes, two holes for a nose and slit like mouths. Moments later she found herself inside the object where she sees walls and lots of machinery and also a very bright light. She finds herself in a room with several monitor-like screens and two humanoids standing near her, these seemed to have claw like hands. One of the beings is described as a more human looking female with long hair, a skirt, and a band around her head. The male beings wore silver metallic jump suits, one piece, with gloves and boots and belts across the chest area. The witness remembers lying on a table and is forced to remove her clothing.

After guiding the vehicle to the side of the road, she had a "strange feeling" and slowly looked to her left. Standing there was this small man. "If the window was down, I could have touched it," said the witness. The man was described as "four foot tall metal man who appeared to be wearing a metallic pewter-like outfit capped with a bubble or dome made of the same material…there were two openings for the eyes.

The main witness, Hector A. Jusino had been traveling around the island with a ground of 15 friends and had decided to camp at the famous rain forest preserve. (Note similarities with the case that follows this one). Fearing heavy rain they camped in the area near the Forest Ranger offices. While preparing a barbeque Hector and another friend, Cecilio, suddenly noticed a strange creature about 5ft tall standing in front of them, being kind of dark the witnesses could not describe it in detail and Hector grabbed a flashlight in order to attempt to identify what it was. The moment he pointed the flashlight at the creature this one disappeared at incredible speed, so fast that they could not tell which way it had gone and could only hear the branches and shrubs braking. Afraid the group decided to leave the mountain and camp near the nearby town of Luquillo. As they drove away from the area the group saw 3 strange bipedal entities standing on the side of the road. Hector was able to obtain a good look at the entities since he sat in the passenger seat as they drove by. The three entities were of different heights each, the shortest one about 4ft tall and the tallest one about 5ft in height. Their bodies were completely covered in short dark hair like that of a dog. Their facial features were sort of canine like and they all had large shiny orange colored eyes. They had large pointy ears and their torso was like that of human. Their arms and legs were extremely thin and the hands resembled lobster-like claws. The three humanoids stood on two legs plus a long tail that seemed to help to prop them up. At this point Hector says that from the moment they saw the humanoids to the moment they reached the outskirts of Luquillo he has no recollection as to what happened or how they got there. Their next memory was of all standing outside their cars and feeling very call, somewhat stunned. The group seemed to snap out of it as a police cruiser arrived and warned them that it wasn't safe to camp in the woods. However the group decided to drive back up the mountain. On their way there they saw two of the strange humanoids, again standing on the side of the road. Upon arriving at the ranger station they all felt very tired and sleepy and went to sleep. In the morning they spoke to the rangers who told the group that at a another location in the mountain a group had seen a strange craft landing and several humanoids (apparently similar to the ones Hector had seen) had emerged from the craft and had "harassed" the group the whole night. At that point the group decided never to speak of the event again.

Nine campers, students led by three adults had gone to El Yunque hoping to "contact" UFOs and their occupants. They made camp high up on a mountain trail, preparing to spend a night that would turn out to be the longest in their lives. Mr. Heriberto Ramos, the group's leader, stated that at one point during their ascent along the trial, they met three persons heading downward. There was nothing "alien" about the trio aside from the face that they all dressed exactly alike and with similar features. One of the group members, who had stayed behind, took a photo of both the other group members and the three mysterious walkers, but only a patch of mist appeared on the developed film where the trio stood. At a given moment that night, thoroughly convinced that an otherwise uneventful vigil lay ahead, the campers were surrounded by five or six vaguely humanoid figures which darted about the thick vegetation with claw-like hands and elongated ears. Some of the "monsters" blocked the precipice flanked trail that constituted the only way down from the mountain and back to the safety of their vehicles. From a prudent distant one of the creatures regarded Ramos intently. Upon noticing this, the latter tried walking cautiously toward the eldritch being hoping to show that his group's intentions were amicable. Ramos stood less than ten feet away from the creature, and was able to describe it as having a triangular head, and "extraordinary" eyes. Amazingly, he managed to touch the strange being, which did not stir. Its skin felt neither cold nor rubbery. Almost simultaneously, one of the students lit a large, powerful flashlight in the direction where the contact was taking place, flooding the area with light. The clawed creature reacted by racing away from the scene, literally tearing a path right through the dense vegetation, which led to a 100 foot long drop, giving the startled Ramos reason to think he had frightened the being into jumping. To the man's amazement, it reappeared instantly at the side of its fellows, which were still blocking the downward path. For endless hours until the sky began to lighten, the besieged campers were surrounded by the beings, which remained in constant motion around them. Terror had led one of the students to bang himself repeatedly on the head with a flashlight, hoping to escape the situation by passing out. Seized by an inexplicable urge, another camper expressed a desire to take a walk in the woods. Fearing for his mental state, one of his companions offered to walk with him. Before they'd taken more than a dozen steps, they found what could only be described as a glimmering, polychromatic "egg" lying on the ground. While entranced by the curious flashing object neither one felt brave enough to touch it. Later that night, they would see it in the claws of one of the nonhuman besiegers. Was this a "bait" of some sort, its pulsating colors designed to mesmerize prey. At sunrise the campers made a mad dash for the cars they'd left parked at the bottom of the mountain. Not a trace of the alien intruders remained aside from their footprints, which were much larger than a human's and appeared to have been made by very heavy creatures, in comparison to the smaller footprints left by the humans. Their valor rekindled by the morning light, the campers made plaster-of-Paris casts of the prints and photographed them. These materials were stolen by unknown parties' months after the incident, including valuable infrared prints.

Gary Flatter got the best view of the creatures. About two hours after investigating the Donathan story, he was searching for the beings when he came across a line of small mammals crossing the road. Then he noticed a "high frequency" sound and spotted apparently the same pair of beings in a plowed field 75 feet away. After a while he turned his truck's spotlight on them; they turned their whole bodies toward him forcing him to turn off his lights because the glare from their suits was so great. They had egg-shaped heads, with what looked like gas masks with hoses running down to their chests. Their feet were square with a heel and seemed to provide motive power for slow jumping actions. On the final jump, they flew off "like a helicopter in feet down position."

It was about 9.00 p.m. and the night was cool when Mrs. Evelyn Addlesperger came up the street from the east and turned left into her driveway. As she turned, the headlights of her car passed across her house, an open area at her rear of the house, and then onto her garage at the end of the driveway. As the headlights passed across the open area, which allows for a partial view of a deep backyard, something lit up this backyard area. The area, usually quite dark at night, was now brightly lit. The color appeared to be the same as the lights of her car. The apparent source of the light was a large object hovering above the ground. It seemed as if her headlights had caused this object to light up, but there was too much light for it to have been merely reflected light from a smooth metallic surface. Also between her and the object were two large pine trees and a deciduous tree with a few leaves still on it. She reacted by saying, "Oh, my gosh," out loud to her self. The object was visible for only a few moments. She didn't see it move, but sensed that it came in from the east, down into her yard, and then back out to the west. It reminded her of an "open cockpit" airplane, but she could see no wings, nor vertical or horizontal stabilizers. Based on her observations and the distance between the trees, the object was approximately thirty feet long. The front of the object, which was pointed west---to her right---seemed "square" and it tapered to the rear. Its front which appeared to be like an "open cockpit" was "covered" and had "wires running all over the object." In the "open cockpit" area wee three hooded figures "like the Ku Klux Klan." The figure on the right was "taller than the one to the left or the one to the rear." The figures appeared to be seated because she could see them only from what appeared to be the waist up. No facial features were noted, just the hoods. The figures appeared to glow with the same white/yellow color as the object itself. She sat there for a few moments. Exactly how long, she can't say. She turned off the engine of her car but left the headlights on. By this time the backyard was dark again. Determined to find out what was going on, she got out of her car and started toward the area where the object had been seen. When she reached the rear of her garage, about thirty five feet from her car, she stopped. It was as if something told her not to go back there. She felt fear. She returned to her car, started it up, and drove into the garage.

Walking along the fence line wee two tall figures, 7 to 9 ft tall, covered with hair, and arms hanging down past the knees, and displaying glowing green eyes. The creatures were fired upon, first tracers were shot overhead, and then live ammo was used. The larger of the two creatures turned towards the other almost touching it, and at the same time the object in the field disappeared, and the sound stopped. The creatures slowly walked towards the woods. One boy had already ran home, the other two left the field, went to the farmhouse and moved the family members to a neighbor's home, and called the state police. When the trooper arrived he and the main witness went to the site, and where the object had landed there was a glowing area that according to the trooper was about 150 ft in diameter. He said he could read a newspaper from the amount of light that it was emitting. The farm animals refused to go into the area. One witness reported that before they left the field, the larger of the two creatures was seen in the woods about 10 ft from them, and he shot at it and it struck the fence that stood between them. Later that night the investigation team, which included the main witness Stephen, Stan Gordon, Dave Baker, Dave Smith, George Lutz and Dennis Smeltzer, arrived in the area. Radiation levels normal, glowing area now gone, but animals still wouldn't go near the spot. Strange events now began to take place. A farmhouse several hundred feet from them was seen by some in the party to suddenly light up like daylight for several seconds. A bull in the field and a dog seemed unconcerned about the group, and were looking into the woods. The main witness, a rather large individual while being questioned, suddenly begins to growl, throwing his father and investigator George Lutz towards the ground. The man ran into the field growling like an animal and emitting screams, one that was near inhuman. His own dog approached him as to attack, then runs off whimpering. The man suddenly collapses onto the ground. Then two of the investigating team begins to complain that they are having trouble breathing. Suddenly the air is filled with a strong odor that was compared to rotten eggs. The man as he came out of what appeared to be an almost trance-like state began talking about visions he saw about the end of the world, etc. He claimed to have seen an "evil specter" attired all in black. He had heard his name called from the woods. Smeltzer felt faint and Dave Baker lightheaded. Stan Gordon and Stephen smelled a sulfurous smell that none of the surroundings or equipment could supply.

A "ground crew" of 10-12 figures wearing dully glowing "cube type" uniforms, were milling around, as if in search of something. A very low-pitched hum was heard, but no barking by the witness dog or others in the neighborhood. When two of the men approached her driveway, the witness took alarm and returned to bed, where she fell asleep immediately. There was no confirmation of anything unusual from any of her neighbors, and no traces were found.

24-year old truck driver, Dionisio Llanca was attempting to change a flat tire on his truck when suddenly a yellow beam of light illuminated him, the light change to blue and then illuminated all the surroundings. Feeling very tired he was unable to stand up, upon turning around he saw a large disc-shaped object hovering at about 7 meters from the ground. He then saw two men and a woman, all three had blond hair combed backwards, and were about 1.75m in height, and they wore one-piece gray coveralls, large yellow boots and gloves that reached up to the middle of the arm. The aliens had wide foreheads; large protruding slanted eyes, and spoke among themselves in loud whistles and humming sounds. One of the men pulled Dionisio up by his collar while another stuck an object on his index finger of his left hand, it lasted several seconds and he felt no pain. When he looked at his hand he saw two drops of blood on his finger. After that his memory becomes cloudy and apparently passed out. He woke up later in a location about 9km from where his truck was. He wandered the whole night until he reached the local Municipal Hospital. He suffered from sudden headaches and intense feelings of heat and then of cold. Later he was given three hypnotic regressions and injected with Sodium Penthatol by psychiatrists, Eduardo Mata and Eladio Santos. During the hypnotic sessions he was able to remember some additional details. He recalled entering the disc-shaped object via a beam of light accompanied by the two men. The aliens spoke to him through an apparatus resembling a "radio", they told him that they were his friends and wanted to know if humans could live in their planet. The female alien examined his watch, lighter and his pack of cigarettes while wearing a black glove, those three items remained missing after the encounter. Before dropping him off the aliens told Llanca that they would someday return.

The witness awakened and got ready for work and left his apartment building on Whipple Street in northwest Chicago. He didn't have a car then, so he had to take a bus to the rapid transit station at Addison, where he took the train for downtown. When he got off at Madison and took the stairs up to the street, it dawned on him that the reason few people were around was because he had forgotten to set his clock back for the ending of Daylight Savings Time. He was about to get to his office an extra hour early. He walked west on Madison toward the Chicago River…it was the first time he had gone that way to work. Normally he got off at the L and rode it to Washington, taking him about five blocks closer to work, but for some reason he took the more distant route. A strange new route with almost no people on the street, an unseasonably warm autumn da---it made him feel rather odd. About half way, he looked ahead at a man walking toward him. As he got closer, things began to feel rather ethereal. He was tall, well over six feet and he had no head or facial hair. He wore a strange silvery green uniform without lapels, buttons or openings. It was skin tight and appeared to be one piece, closed at his neck. As he got abreast of the witness he smiled warmly and looked at him with piercing, greenish-blue eyes. The witness felt a powerful spiritual attraction to him. He waited for what he assumed was just a second or two and quickly turned to see where he was going, but he had vanished. Stunned, he walked back to the nearest door, but it was locked. He tried every door for a quarter block, but they were all locked. Then he noticed more people on the street. A little unhinged, he continued on to his office building at Canal and Madison. When he arrived at his office on the fifth floor, his secretary said, "Wow, you're never late." He had arrived at just after nine, when he should have arrived at seven, as he always did. He had lost two hours. The witness is convinced he encountered a "benevolent humanoid, but has never being hypnotically regressed to explore what really happened to him on that date.

Carlos Argue Balvidares, 43, the manager of a country estate, was drinking tea when his son Manuel, 13, called his attention to the presence of 3 persons floating in the air over the surface of a pond 100 yards away. Balvidares went to the pond and called out to them; they "disappeared immediately, only to return to show themselves at the opposite shore of the pond, 300 yards away." There were two men and a woman. The woman was about 5'3" tall and had long black hair, black clothing, and white boots; the men (both of the same height) were somewhat shorter, and appeared naked and of a "sunburned" color; they may have been wearing tight fitting one-piece suits. They were blond, and their hair appeared "glued on." All three had white complexions, wide foreheads, and small noses. They floated about with their arms held close to their bodies. On the far side of the pond rested a rectangular object approx. 35 ft in diameter and 7-10 ft high, which was luminous, and emitted a beam of light 15" in diameter which struck Balvidares; it dazzled him and he could feel heat from it. Balvidares took his horse and rode out to the pond, but when he had got halfway to the entities, he encountered an "invisible barrier" and cold not proceed. Meanwhile the beings continued to maneuver over the surface of the pond, communicating by "a kind of shriek, like the sound made by a radio which is poorly tuned." After an hour and a half, Balvidares mounted his horse to ride around the pond, but at that time the beings returned to the UFO, the men "changing in color to dark green and orange" as they approached it. Then the witness smelt "an odor of sulfur" and became drowsy for a few moments; when he recovered from this, the object and its entities had disappeared. On later investigation, many triangular footprints 4" to 5" long, showing 4 claw marks at the front of the triangle, were found in the vicinity of the UFOs resting place; the object itself left 4 triangular impressions 15" on a side, arranged in a square 13 ft on a side. The horse "exhibited nervousness" after the event, and its hair began to fall out.

Ana Dominguez and Jose Alemar accompanied by their daughter and others were visiting an area near where their youngest son Jose Jr. had mysteriously disappeared 3 months before. While Jose was in a nearby ranch house, Ana and her daughter stayed in the car, which was parked near the road waiting for his return. Suddenly from the left side of the car, they both heard what they thought was Jose's voice, saying loud and clear; "Negra open the car door, I'm back." The voice repeated the same thing again, and suddenly the girl pointed at something outside the car. Ana Dominguez then saw a terrifying looking being standing outside the car, leaning on the windshield and looking in. The creature was described as tall, thin, with a huge egg shaped head, long pointy ears, and two huge black oval shaped eyes. The being was leaning on the windshield and had placed a "hand" on it. The hand was long and skinny, with three long thin fingers, somehow resembling those of a chicken claw. No other facial features could be seen, since it was dark outside. Both witnesses now in a panic began screaming and pushing on the car horn. When Mr. Alemar and the rest arrived the strange being had disappeared. To this date, both mother and daughter are convinced that the voice they heard had been that of Jose Alemar; however they are not so sure if it was audible or telepathic.

This window faces east in the direction of a factory and the Addlesperger house (see October 25 case). There in the sky above the factory and the trees to the east, was a gold object "like a large wash tub." It was flat on the bottom and open on the top. Sitting inside was a "man". Because of the distance, she could see no feature on his face. While the object seemed to glow, the man did not. She saw the object for only a brief period of time as it glided noiselessly from north to south and disappeared from view behind some trees or the factory building. She estimated that the object was further east than the Addlesperger house. She was not aware of the previous sighting.

Reported crash recovery of a disk-shaped craft, about 50 ft in diameter with a dome about 4.5 m in diameter, with 3 landing props. Inside the disk, 3 dead bodies were found which were described as midget type grays with 3 fingers and copper based blood. The bodies were moved to 29 Palms Marine Corps base and hidden in an underground hangar as well as the disk and later moved to Wright Patterson Ohio the disk was also moved to 29 Palms and then also to Wright Patterson. Incredibly the disk was reported to have been substantially bigger inside than what appeared to be outside. It was either shot down by other aliens or suffered a technical malfunction. Early in 1974 a most detailed study of the disc was begun in Wright Patterson. Origin of the disk: HD 5015 Cassiopeia (TAUAOS system). Follows are witness statements:
"During most of the 1970s I was working for a major defense contractor on Long Island. It was 1973 or 1974 when my boss told me that I was selected to be a part of a special crew that would be examining some foreign technology located at an unspecified U.S. Air Force base. I figured we were going to look at either Russian or Chinese technology and mentioned that I would be happy to go along. I was then soberly informed that the assignment was not voluntary. I had to go…The briefing was done by Air Force personnel who were easily distinguished by their uniforms. My boss engaged in some rather lengthy dialogues with them. Finally, after being briefed on various security factors we were taken into another hangar where we saw a disc-shaped UFO. I looked at one of the Air Force personnel and said, "Hey that's a UFO." The airman said, "Shh-we're not supposed to say things like that. It's a foreign aircraft." He then told us that we were visiting the Foreign Aircraft Technology Group. It was obviously a very clever use of language. The Air Force personnel representing the Foreign Aircraft Technology Group then proceeded to give us a grand tour of the UFO. From outside, the craft was silver and looked just like a typical disc shaped flying saucer. It appeared to be about fifty feet in diameter and twenty feet in height. There was also a dome on top that was maybe fifteen feet wide. The entire craft stood on three legs that came out of the bottom. A ramp went up from the ground to a doorway on the edge of the craft. The most startling aspect of this flying saucer was apparent when I first went aboard. It was absolutely huge inside. The vessel was only fifty feet in diameter, yet we walked in one direction for what seemed to be ten minutes. There was literally hundreds of thousands of feet of space. I couldn't explain it at the time. By today's knowledge it is apparent that we had entered an artificial reality when boarding the ship…It is obvious to me from what I have personally experienced that the UFO at Wright-Patterson was the most advanced form available and could be considered the Cadillac of flying saucers."

In front of the group stood a tall dark skinned figure wearing what appeared to be a combination Egyptian-local Indian outfit. The strange figure was awe-inspiring and no one dared to approach it. The figure remained silent but seemed to motion at Manuel to approach, it apparently wanted to give him something it was holding in one of its hands. The strange figure was wearing a large hat and its face seemed to be covered in permanent shadow. As Manuel approached, the figure handed him over a piece of old parchment type paper. The paper appeared to be inscribed with symbols encompassing different cultures, which included ancient Arabic, Phoenician, etc. It also included what appeared to be strange formulas. The piece of paper appeared to ancient and rustic. Manuel also noticed that the shadow that covered the stranger's face seemed denser than normal.

Mesmerized by the unusual figure, the woman heard him rattle on about the war in the Middle East, the energy crisis, and a shopping list of global concerns, all the while emphasizing that there were "better worlds than Earth".

The main witness and her family were spending the night at her grandparent's farm and she and her sister were sleeping in the upstairs bedroom. This particular night they were sleeping in their own beds when the witness was suddenly awakened by an unknown force. She distinctly remembers not wanting to wake up, but something was prodding her to do so. Once she was fully awake, she realized that it was very cold in the room and wondered why her sister had not gone to bed with her, something that she usually did when it was cold. She also realized that she had become aware of something else. It's still hard to explain but it was like something was communicating with her in her head and was pulling her toward the window. It was not a good feeling. She sensed that it was something evil and she was scared. She got out of bed and took a couple of steps toward the window, looking out. She was scared, yet she still went to the window. Whatever it was it was communicating mentally, not even in words, but more like instant communications. She knew what it wanted her to do. 100 feet from her window she saw a series of small lights that swirled around, she sensed that it was quite intelligent and not human. The lights would sometimes become one bigger light and then break apart into four or six smaller lights that changed colors from white, red, green and yellow. They seemed to have a certain pattern to their flights and it was mesmerizing. It felt unmistakably evil to her and it meant her "harm". It was pulling her mentally to come to it. It was very strong and it seemed like she was battling it mentally for a long time, but she was sure that it was only minutes or perhaps even seconds. She knows that she was mentally screaming, "No!" to it and she became aware in her thoughts that it would harm her sister. That scared her even more because her sister was younger and she knew that she wasn't as strong as her or able to fight it. She became so enraged and scared that she kept screaming at it in her mind until she was actually screaming out loud and banging on the window, breaking it with her fists. Once the window broke, the hold it had on her also broke and it was gone. The witness is 44 years of age today and still has the physical scar on her hands to remind her of the encounter.

The family dog, trained as guard dog, was ordered to attack them but halted when 30 feet away, made some lunges at them and then walked back and laid down whining on the kitchen floor. Rex had observed a silver saucer shaped object about 5 hours earlier that night.

Famous "Psi-agent" Uri Geller was allegedly teleported by extraterrestrials in the interpretation of Andrija Puharich. Geller felt pulled up into the sky; he closed his eyes. He opened them to see the onrushing porch screen of Puharich's home. He crashed through the screen and landed on a glass-topped table. Dr. Puharich checked him for injuries and then confirmed Uri's story that he had been last seen in Manhattan. Uri presumably teleported or had been teleported by extraterrestrials from Manhattan to Ossining. This was said to be a normal journey of some thirty six miles undertaken in a brief moment. Geller and Puharich had been experiencing interpersonal difficulties around that time period and were about to conclude their association.

Enrique Castillo again was summoned telepathically to go to an isolated area for a possible contact with extraterrestrials. Hours went by when numerous illuminated objects appeared, one of which detached from the rest and approached slowly in a zigzag fashion, performing an astonishing series of maneuvers before landing on three supports about 60 meters away. The other lights disappeared. This craft was quite different from the previous one, of a rather peculiar shape. A metallic ladder emerged, leaving a narrow, illuminated opening, in which a human shaped silhouetted could be discerned. Castillo approached the craft, but a deep voice ordered him to stop, and then beckoned him to approach slowly. Soon a human like alien named Cyril that he had met on a previous occasion met him at the opening. He invited Castillo to walk up the six steps of the ladder. When Castillo extended his hand to greet him, he stepped back and motioned him to stop between the last step and the door. A very bright blue flash of lighting shone briefly covering Castillo's body briefly. He understood that the blue light was part of another cleaning or sterilizing system, quite different from the previous one. On board were two other very different beings, with "avocado-shaped heads", dressed in one-piece, ample overalls. They smiled constantly. He went up to greet them, but they just bowed, without extending their hands. The little men were bald, with pale brunet skin, seemingly completed coated with an oil film. They were about 1.5 meters tall, well proportioned, with large normal eyes, normal ears, Greek nose, and prominent jaw. These beings, declared Cyril came from Mercury. Castillo was incredulous, knowing the immense temperatures contrasts of that planet. But he was told, "You would be astonished at the civilizations that have flourished there." Via a spiral stairway Castillo was taken to the second level, which he found rather cramped. Cyril announced that the craft was on its way to the "mother ship." One of the other beings took Castillo to a closet on the first floor and gestured to him to put on a uniform, which stretched to fit him perfectly. The from the control room a gigantic craft came into view. A hatch opened, from which came intense light. Inside the mother ship, Castillo was led through several passageways and in one area he noticed an emblem in high relief, of a winged serpent holding what looked like an egg. Inside this object Castillo also encountered toilet like facilities. In the hall Castillo, claims to have encountered yet another thoroughly unbelievable being, a giant of a man no less than three meters tall. His features were remarkably similar to those of common terrestrial. All was proportional in size. His skin was grayish, his hands, hairy, with normal fingers, shaped at the tips like spatulas. He was dressed in a dull gray uniform. At one point Castillo, along with Cyril and the two smaller humanoids boarded a smaller craft, which took them to a ride to different places, apparently on earth. Later onboard the mother ship, Castillo claims to have seen a robot, with some human features, and for the first time, women, with tight fitting suits and decidedly feminine features. "Their golden hair framed the most beautiful faces I had ever seen." Castillo enthused. They were as tall as the men, perhaps 1.75 meters. Eventually Castillo was returned to an area not farm from Bogotá. He had been away for about 26 hours.

They passed through a cloud of red dust that obscured their vision; shortly after emerging from this, they had to swerve to avoid a man wearing dark clothing and a lappet helmet, who was standing on the white line in the middle of the road, apparently sweeping it with a brush-room. He was short of stature; they could not see his face. After passing the "sweeper" they saw a car and 3 dark clad people beside the road. There were many UFO sightings in this region of Quebec that same evening.

Apparently because of some technical malfunctions a 30ft disk shaped alien craft made an emergency landing in the Mojave desert on the vast territory of the Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat center, or very close to it. The craft carried about 3-4 gray aliens on board and one human abductee a 9-year old boy (Paul) who later told this story to John E. Mack. Another craft was promptly called to rescue the crew of the disabled disk. However the UFO landing was detected from 29 Palms base and the other craft did not arrive in time since soon after it landed near the disabled disk, military Jeeps arrived packed with fully armed Marines. The shocked Marines saw the two landed alien disks and several gray aliens standing near them, some leaving the disabled craft and carrying some equipment outside. Out of fear the Marines began to shoot their automatic weapons and three of the gray aliens were killed outright, basically from head wounds, exposing greenish (likely Chlorophyll based or copper based) blood. The other gray humanoids evidently not expecting such hostility quickly rushed inside the second disk, the door closed and the disk zoomed up and flew away immediately. The disabled craft and the three alien bodies were left behind lying on the desert (apparently and happily the aliens on the operational craft evacuated the abducted human boy). Some of the aliens that managed to run into the operational craft had been wounded also. The Marines captured the disabled disk with most of the equipment left behind and with the open entryway. They loaded the disk on a flatbed and took it to an underground chamber at 29 Palms base, where the disk was suspended in a heavy metallic net hanging from a crane. 3 dead bodies were described a "typical grays" with 3 fingered hands, pale-gray-white-bluish skin, large almond-shaped eyes and thin bodies. The bodies were also taken to the 29 Palms base and hidden in the same underground hangar with the disk. A security and research team then arrived at the base and the bodies were moved to the Nevada base, Groom Lake or Area 51 code named at the time "Grafford" the disk was also taken there. Incredibly the disk was reported to have been substantially larger inside than what appeared from outside. After being kept for some time in the Nevada base, the bodies were loaded on a cargo aircraft and flown to Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. But the disk was probably left at Groom Lake and hidden in a surface hangar there, later it was probably taken to some underground hangar/laboratory at "Dreamland". At present, the disk is hidden in an underground cavern under Dead Horse Flat near area 19 or Nellis Range. According to Paul who was the young abductee onboard the craft at the time of the incident and later involved in numerous other abductions by the same "gray" aliens, and was later regressed and interrogated by Mack, the aliens that survived the incident were totally shocked and did not expect such military hostility on the part of the Marines, so they had exited the disk without carrying any weapons. They did not understand humans at the time completely and only later "began to understand" human cruelty which is part of human nature. They were also upset after being unable to retrieve their dead comrades in the desert. Paul said that the name of the alien gray race was "The Tiey" and they came from a large bluish cloudy planet that resembles Jupiter in some way. The race is basically peaceful, according to Paul, and possesses a much higher level of spirituality and intelligence than humans (obviously). Details of this case were confirmed by CIA operative Marion Leo Williams and other military witnesses which contacted Leonard H. Stringfield.

A high school girl was finishing a shift on her part time job at a fast foot restaurant, and got in the family car and drove home. Once the car started, she heard a series of three musical tones. "That was the last thing I remembered until I woke up on a dark road. To my right was a Closed Road sign. Understandably I was confused and frightened and could not remember getting there…I just locked all the doors." She then noticed a red light moving in the sky from right to left. Then it reversed motion. And then it reversed again. She got hysterical and screamed. She started the car, spun about and fled. She didn't know where she was or where she was going, she just drove. Ultimately she recognized the terrain and got back home. It was fifteen minutes after midnight, over three hours later. She went to her bedroom and eventually got to sleep. In the morning she still couldn't remember what had happened but went on to school. In first period the teacher opened the class by saying: before we start I want to tell you something---and proceeded to recount a red light UFO that he and his daughter saw last night. "At that point I almost passed out and threw up!" After that she tried to forget about it "thinking its stupid being sixteen years old." But she couldn't sleep without a light on, didn't want to be out in the dark, and had nightmares of being held down by small creatures. She began keeping dream diaries about small creatures with large eyes, and following such a dream her daughter came in and told her of her own dream of her mother taken outside to a ship by small people.

Late on this particular night, Mrs. J P went into her kitchen to have a cigarette because she felt unaccountably restless. As the room was bright enough from a street-lamp outside, she did not switch on the light. Suddenly her attention was attracted by a white object, which seemed to stand just outside her kitchen window. She went closer to the window, which is very low, and to her surprise discovered a "four foot tall thing" as she called it. The being had a round head with two very bright eyes, which had a phosphorescent glow. They were three times as large as normal eyes. Around the head or helmet there was a sort of halo or flame. The witness did not see any mouth or nose but she did notice what seemed to be "laces" around the neck of the "thing". She said the shoulders were not square like humans' but sloped down from the head or helmet about a 45-degree angle. Far from being afraid of the apparition, Mrs. J P said it somehow looked beautiful to her. She said she was actually attracted by it and could not move away. It was only when the "thing" vanished after about 15 seconds that she suddenly realized something very strange was going on. Running into the bedroom she awakened her husband who dressed, turned on the outside light and searched all around the house without finding a trace of any trespasser. But he did notice their dog was crouched on the ground as if "scared to death". The height of the visitor was estimated to have been about four feet tall. The following night the family cat behaved strangely.

A man and a woman in a parked car on the Canourge road, Mairieux, noticed a white metallic looking hemispherical object some 50 ft wide in the snow covered fields, 100 yards away. Presently a dark opening appeared in this, from which 6 beings, of 3 different kinds, emerged. First were 3 small humanoids with large heads, 4 ft tall. They had protruding eyes with conspicuous whites, holes for a nose, narrow mouths, and bulging cheeks; their arms were long. They were dressed in tight one-piece suits of metallic appearance. Each carried a dark box 6" on a side whose upper surface bore a round white luminous "screen." They walked slowly, with stiff small steps, and fanned out as if searching for something. Gradually they approached the road, until within 50 ft of the witnesses. Behind them, nearer to the hemisphere, stood 2 human figures about 6.5 ft tall, with light complexions and blond shoulder length hair, likewise dressed in tight fitting one piece metallic suits. Closest to the door stood a squat figure, with long dangling arms, apparently covered with dark fur, "resembling a bear of great ape." When after about 10 minutes the small beings began to approach the car, the young woman became frightened and jump out, slamming the door, and ran back to her own car which stood close by. At this, the man saw all the figures stood still, then the "animal" reentered the object, followed quickly by the 2 humans and then the 3 humanoids, which ran back with such long, swift strides that they looked as if they were "flying over the ground." The dark opening disappeared, and the UFO took on a brilliant metallic color, and rose vertically for 30 ft, then shot off westwards, becoming successively orange luminous, bluish, and reddish before dwindling to a point. This all happened with such speed that the young woman observed only the recession of the luminous object. The witnesses did not seek for traces in the snow. However, strange tracks in the snow were found later that morning by a Mrs. Michel and her children in the garden of their house in Maubeuge, 1.1 mile away, implying a connection.

He could see their top halves and they were wearing gray colored clothing and had shoulder length gold/blond hair and were human in appearance. The craft was moving very slowly, at apparent walking pace. It flew over the neighbor's house at about 40ft altitude and about 70ft from the witness. He viewed it from the back garden until it disappeared behind the neighbor's house. He then ran inside and upstairs to the front bedroom of his house but the craft had disappeared from view.

Around 2100 Brenda said she stepped outside her friend's back door and immediately upon steeping out she noticed the area was illuminated by a bright light. Looking up Brenda saw a large bright white light above the treetops in the yard; she likened the size of the light to the older type satellite dishes used for TV reception. The light was round and hovered over the trees making no noise. Brenda says she became so frightened that she could not scream. She could only stare at the light. She said it hovered for about 2 minutes then suddenly the light shut off and was replaced by a small green light. As soon as the green light appeared it shot off at an incredible speed heading west in the direction of her house. Later when Brenda got home she informed her parents who informed her that a plane must have crashed on the hillside not far from them and that a search was underway. Breda told her parents that it was not a plane that crashed, but her parents did not believe she had seen a UFO. Brenda says that about 3 days later she answered a knock at the front door. Standing there were three men that she described as well dressed businessmen. They wore black suits with sunglasses and were driving a black expensive car. They wore no hats.

A black cone on the bottom of the sphere was emitting a bright red beam of light, causing a "great disturbance" in the field below. Said Mathias, "The beam shot out, stopped, then shot again in intermittent spurts. When this was done, the cone was drawn into the sphere and a cloud of vapor became visible where the cone had been." After a few seconds the object darted away. Mathias and Andrews ran into the field and examined the area where the beam had hit. They found a strange ring of crushed grass and the ground itself appeared to glow. After 15minutes the glow faded. Mathias and Andrews turned on their flashlights and prepared to return to their car. Suddenly their flashlight beams lit up two six foot tall humanoid figures in metallic suits. Says Mathias, 'The two were side by side, they startled me, and I know I saw them".

The entity wore a close fitting, luminous green coverall and had a clear spherical helmet over his head, which was attached by a tube to a backpack. He was using an implement similar to a mine detector to examine brickbats in the courtyard. When the witness played his flashlight on the scene, the being turned toward the window and held up one hand, displaying the V-sign with two fingers. The head was dark except for two brightly luminous eyes, over which were seen eyelids that blinked by lowering over the luminous iris. The entity then turned toward the wall enclosing the yard and walked up the sides stiff legged, at right angles, clearing the top and disappearing from view on the far side. Several minutes later, a disc with flashing colored lights and a transparent dome on top, rose from the other side of the wall. Inside the dome the witness could see the little being; it rose vertically slowly, rocked back and forth and then shot off into the sky at high speed. The witness had had one other observation four months earlier, with others, on the Belgian seaside; and four months later he, his wife, and others saw still another object as they drove to Brussels.

23-year old housewife Thenia Rodriguez was alone at home with her nine mouth old daughter at around, performing household duties. Stepping out to her backyard to hang freshly washed laundry, she noticed brilliance in the clear skies overhead, a vehicle resembling "a hubcap" in her own words, was hovering in mid-air, gently swaying from one side to another. Concerned about preparing the baby's lunch, Mrs. Rodriguez went back into her kitchen closing the door behind her. Upon turning on the radio, an intense buzzing sound emerged from the speaker. She would later describe the intensity of this unpleasant sound as "so strong that it threatened to make my head explode." Her daughter started to cry, holding tiny to her head. The young mother began to panic. After comforting the child, Mrs. Rodriguez decided to return outside to see what could be the source of the sound. She had no idea that this action would change her life forever. Standing outside the door was a weird creature that "appeared to be a man but wasn't" Mrs. Rodriguez found herself facing a being in a tight, form-fitting jumpsuit worn over a human-like body, but the head surmounting the torso was decidedly inhuman---a nose-less, mouth-less visage was dominated by two oversized black eye-sockets. The creature's cranium was covered by a shiny black helmet. From that moment onward, Mrs. Rodriguez mind went blank. She would not have any conscious recollection of whatever happened between ten o'clock in the morning and 11:30am. A few hours later, Angel Rodriguez returned home from college only to find his wife running around their small house clutching the baby to her breast, and apparently struck dumb by fright. He shook her to get her to react, and his wife burst into hysterical tears, shouting incoherently about "a man." Mr. Rodriguez managed to calm her down and rounded up his neighbors to conduct a search of the area, thinking that a rapist had probably tried to force his way into the house. The improvised search turned up nothing at all. On October 12 1975, psychologist Manuel Mendez del Toro hypnotically regressed Thenia Rodriguez back to the date when the mysterious event took place. Under hypnosis, Thenia recalled the sighting of the swaying UFO, the buzzing sound emanating in the radio, and later on, the veil of mystery began to lift, the strange creature had pressured her into coming with it by means of some sort of telepathic control. She remembered fighting these mental commands out of fear that this strange creature would abduct her baby. Nonetheless she found herself bending to its will, at which point she felt no fear and infused with great serenity. The hypnosis session revealed that the humanoid asked Thenia to go to the rear of her house, beyond which was a deep gorge. At the very edge of the gorge, she reported seeing an unusual object suspended above the ground, a silvery rectangular structure that emitted "clicking" sounds as she stood before it for some fifteen minutes. The humanoid's next command was for Thenia to re-enter her home and close the door behind her. Once inside the mental control loosened its grip and panic welled through Thenia's mind once more. She grabbed her daughter out of the playpen in the middle of the living room and started running senselessly from room to room.

Olavi Kolehmainen, a truck driver, observed a UFO sitting in the middle of the road as he was plowing snow in a wooded area of northern Karjala; it was about four meters in diameter. After about one minute, a hatch opened from within and a humanoid, in white clothing, appeared. After about 10 to 15 seconds, the hatched closed, and the witness heard a humming sound that increased in volume. Smoke appeared beneath the object and it began a slow ascent. By this time the witness had left his truck. After the object disappeared, he noticed landing traces in the snow covered road. He was the only witness.

A man driving east of Medicine Hat saw a bright light in the rearview mirror. The light was like a revolving light on a train, except no trains were on that section of the road. Then he noticed an 8ft tall man running in a ditch alongside, even though he was driving at least 60mph the entity came up to the truck and placed his hands on the roof and hood and then disappeared.

During a spiritual retreat in an isolated mountainous region, Arturo Abril, Ramiro Monroy and Leslie Amed were meditating one night in an open field when they reported seeing at least 30 or 35 unidentified lights and objects maneuvering over the area. In the morning two tall "humans" wearing a tight fitting beige outfit arrived at the campsite and identified themselves, as "brothers" from outer space. They claimed to have been vegetarians and communicated extensively with the witnesses. They were on earth in a supposed mission to help and benefit humanity.
