1947 Humanoid Reports. The beginning of
the modern era, 1947 brought us "Roswell" and other interesting
happenings. But humanoids had been seen before and crashes mentioned also in
previous years. I think Roswell is just the proverbial "tip of the
iceberg", are we talking intergalactic warfare here? Following is a list
of known humanoid encounters for 1947.
1.
Location. Island of Muck Highland Region
Scotland
Date: 1947
Time: unknown
80-year old Alexander Gunn, an angler
saw a mermaid like creature right off the coast of the island. The being was a
female humanoid in appearance, and sat on a floating wooded box and appeared to
be coming her long blond hair. She plunged into the sea when she noticed the
witness looking at her. No other information.

2.
Location. Valle De Santiago Mexico
Date: 1947
Time: morning
A young farmer was out plowing his field
when he was suddenly confronted by a very tall gaunt looking individual, that
resembled an albino and with distorted features. The stranger told the farmer
that he had been held captive by "humanoids" in the interior of a
nearby inactive volcano. The stranger then sketched a formula on a piece of
paper which he claimed was the secret to growing huge vegetables, he then
walked away and disappeared. The farmer indeed has been able to grow giant
vegetables ever since.

3.
Location. Fort Worth, Texas
Date: 1947
Time: daytime
A young woman driving in the outskirts
of Fort Worth saw a discoidal craft 25 ft in diameter passing overhead. Jumping out
of the car, she waved; the object tipped, and its occupants waved to her. The
UFO then flew away in silence.

Location. Near Griffith Air Force Base,
New York
Date: 1947
Time: 1300
The main witness, Jackie, her brother
and cousins had gone to a local store to get some gum and as they headed down
the country road Jackie noticed to her left what appeared to be a bright
reflection, similar to a mirror being held to the sun. Being the adventuresome
member of the four she went off to investigate. What she saw was a large
silvery round shaped vehicle on the ground. She approached the craft and
strangely a fence seemed to have popped up from the ground in few seconds,
surrounding the vehicle. Her cousins tried to pull her but a being (not
described) approached her and without moving its lips asked her what she was
doing there. The being also said that they would not hurt her. From that point
she vaguely remembered her brother and cousins crying. Her next memory was of
seeing her parents and her aunt walking along the road looking for them. They
had been gone for 5 hours. About three or four months after the encounter a
gentleman in military uniform came to Jackie's front door and spoke for a long
time with her parents. She was told never to mention to anybody what had
occurred.

and saw a tall entity dressed completely in green. He also wore a cap on his
head that shone with a weak orange light. The entity looked like a
"soldier". They boy was very frightened and awoke his mother. She saw
the entity also. She asked, "Who are you, Why are you here" in a
trembling voice. The entity did not respond. He stood wordless in the same
place. The mother rushed into the children's room grabbed her daughter and hid
her under the blanket. The boy hid under the other blanket. The woman began
asking the alien again who he was and how he had entered the house. The alien
then made a deep breathing sound and vanished in plain sight. After that there
was a bright flash of light outside the window, like fire and then it vanished.

Location. 20 miles south of Malta,
Mediterranean Sea
Date: Summer 1947
Time: unknown
Anglers were raising their nets with a
catch of fish when they saw an object floating on the water's surface that
looked like a black submarine. The men were frightened at the object's
appearance, saying that it looked like a monster. They quickly started the
boat's engine. Suddenly a bright light from the "submarine" lit up
the whole area and "little men" began running over the deck of the
object. The men could make out that the little men carried some sort of
apparatus around their waists. They were about the size of a 10-year old boy.
After a few minutes the little men entered the "submarine" which
began to glow so brightly that the anglers could not see it anymore. It then
apparently submerged.

A woman had to be treated for nervous
shock as she reported that while doing some laundry outside her home, she saw a
large bright object shaped like two bowls put together land silently and a man
about 2 metes tall emerged from the object. The man wore a shiny white outfit
and some type of luminous headgear, he quickly approached the witness and
pointing at her and at the ground he yelled something that sounded to her like
'Terra" "Terra"! The witness fainted at this point and when she
came to booth the man and the object were gone. Other independent witnesses
thought there had been a "crash" of some sort and remembered that US
and Cuban military forces had cordoned off an area and had called for heavy
equipment and trucks to come in. Something of an unknown nature was taken from
the site.

Time: 1100A
The 4-year old witness was outside in
the driveway of her house, which faced at an angle onto the street corner. All
the driveways on the corner faced that way instead of straight out. She
suddenly noticed a strange figure in the driveway of the house opposite to
hers. It was about 6ft tall and was all in black. It had no arms that she could
see and seemed to be pear-shaped with a large round head and long thin black
legs. There was no face, only a glass-like face striated like a motorbike
headlight. She thought that it was both queer and fascinating. It was at the
same distance from that gate opposite as the witness was from her gate. The
witness took a step towards it and it responded with a step. With each step the
witness took, it seemed to copy the witness. But it seemed to be getting closer
to the gate than the witness. The witness began to feel apprehensive at it
stared at her with it's glass face. All of the sudden the witness was overtaken
by fear and ran screaming into the house. Her mother went out to look around
but did not see anything, the bizarre creature had vanished.

A young boy was playing in a wooded
field when he caught sight of a silvery torpedo shaped craft in a clearing.
Several four-foot tall humanoid figures stood next to the object. These were
described as well built, wearing dark green close fitting coveralls. They had
what appeared to be glossy black hair and seemed to be wearing dark wrap around
visors. The beings seemed to be inspecting the craft and were moving about

The 16-year old main witness and his younger
brother were resting and reading at a creek that ran near their home when
suddenly they heard a hum, and saw a silvery metallic object with a dome on top
land right in front of them. A door opened and 5 grotesque creatures emerged.
These resembled praying mantises and wore dull silver body fitted covering. The
main witness stood up as one creature came up to him, looked at him, & took
the book from his hand. The creature then put his hand on the witness's
shoulder and began reading his thoughts. The creature had large black eyes that
appeared to emit a clicking sound. Soon the creature rejoined the others and
they walked around the object as if inspecting it. The witness then heard a
telepathic message telling him that they were leaving, not to look up. The
object then shot up emitting a deafening noise. Both witnesses were extremely
thirsty after the encounter.

Time: afternoon
The 12-year old witness was staying home
alone one day when through an open window she spotted a small white oval shaped
craft going over some nearby vineyards where there was no road. Moments later
two men approached the house; these men were very short and wore white tight fitting
garments. They asked for a glass of water and asked some very strange questions
about the nature of time. That same night the two little men returned and told
the witness to follow them, while her family slept. They led her to a round
object, which had landed among the olive trees. She then apparently went
through an in depth medical examination inside the object. During that time a
normal looking woman with long dark hair was with her comforting and calming
her. The witness feels that something was implanted in her.

Location. Bahmut Kokchetav Region,
Kazakhstan
Date: end of June 1947
Time: about midnight
18-year old local herdsman Alexey
Romanovich Bodnya from a nearby collective farm suddenly noticed a brightly lit
circle shining on the grass on the field, somehow resembling a micro-tornado.
Next he heard a loud metal clicking sound and when he looked up he was stunned
to see a disc-shaped object about 25 meters in diameter, it was bright and shaped
like to deep saucers joined together, with a transparent dome on top 4
prop-like landing legs protruded from the bottom and moved up and down in
rhythm. The disk had a wide cylinder shaped protrusion on its bottom that
resembled a nozzle about 5
meters in diameter. A bright red-yellow rotating flame
like light was visible inside it. The surface of the disk was silver, almost
mirror like, reflecting the ground and grass beneath it. Powerful searchlights
could be seen on the craft as it approached for a landing. The disk seemed to
be unstable as if its flight control mechanism had been damaged, unable to
maintain a horizontal position. The witness got the impression that the disk
was going to tumble and crash, but it somehow managed to land safely. A ladder
came out of the object and three aliens descended from the bottom section of
the disk, when the round hatch opened Bodnya clearly heard metal clacking. The
aliens were very tall, close to 3 meters in height. They looked very much alike
almost like twins. Their faces were elongated, large eyes, rounder than the
humans, long noses, high foreheads, grayish-bluish skin, and thin lips. They
were dressed in silver reflecting tight-fitting overalls with head covering.
One of the aliens was obviously the leader, he was gigantic in stature with
broad shoulders, at least one meter taller than the other two aliens, he wore a
sort of "apron" in front with a light on his breast area. He was
apparently giving orders to the other two. The giant had even white teeth, wide
dense brown, large beard, and light brown hair, light colored eyes and a
powerful voice. One of the younger crewmembers was obviously in great distress
as a result of their misfortune and was mumbling something and crying. In a
harsh tone the giant leader ordered him to stop. The witness could not
understand a thing but the meaning was obvious. The transparent dome on top of
the disk was lifted up in order to initiate the repair procedure. While being
opened a melodic vibrating sound was heard. The witness noticed that the
transparent dome was made out of some crystalline substance, extremely strong
in appearance. The witness was also sure that there was a fourth alien inside
the disk, since the alien was leader gave orders to someone inside using some
kind of "microphone". That fourth crewmember was possibly a female
who remained onboard the craft at all times. All the aliens wore some type of
sophisticated device suspended on their chest area. The leader stood in the center
and the other two one on each side as they conducted the repairs. The stunned
witness had observed the emergency landing and repair of the disk hiding behind
some shrubs with his horse. Suddenly his horse snorted loudly this apparently
gave away his location. The aliens immediately shone a green beam of light in
his direction. He received a clear impression that he had been photographed.
The aliens seemed very curious and seemed to be enjoying themselves, as they
looked him and his horse over. After that the giant leader looked at straight
at Bodnya's eyes and the 18-year old was suddenly able to hear the alien's
thoughts. The alien leader reproached him for hiding from them instead of
greeting them like guests. His glance displayed kindness and understanding. He
informed Bodnya that their craft had apparently been damaged by a lighting
strike that affected their flight control mechanism. Bodnya then said, "I
invite you to eat, you must be hungry, I know what hunger is from my
childhood." The alien responded, "I see, I see, you are small but
brave, and who is that (pointing at the horse)." That's my horse Serko
responded the witness. The alien then told the witness that he was frightened
of the horse and to leave it behind since he wanted to speak to him alone. The
boy roped his horse and the giant alien took him by his hands and sat him on
the rim of the disk. Bodnya got so close to the alien that he was able to
listen to it's heartbeat. Soon Bodnya noticed a wolf slowly approaching his
horse and yelled at the leader, "Look a wolf" In a moment the leader
stretched his hand and emitted some kind or thunderous beam that killed the
wolf instantly. Where are you from? Asked Bodnya. The giant answered by
pointing at the sky and said, "From there". Is there a God? Bodnya
asked next, "A God? maybe" answered the giant, who then asked Bodnya
what was he doing there alone. He explained to the giant that he had been
pasturing the bulls and horses. Next Bodnya asked if he could look inside the
craft, he was allowed to. Looking in he saw a long corridor leading inside the
craft, some frame-like walls and noticed that the ceiling was very high. He
walked several steps into the craft but felt intense heat and nausea and could
not continue. The giant then said, "Come here" The boy then rushed
back and fell on the alien's arms, he could not remember what happened next, he
apparently lost consciousness and woke up again sitting on the grass looking at
the repair operations. He was sure he had been examined onboard and implanted
with some type of device. The rest of the night he watched the aliens finishing
up their repairs. Bodnya noticed that the inner structure of the craft appeared
very complicated filled with sophisticated equipment. After finishing their
repairs the aliens left behind a small cross-shaped metallic fragment, which
the witness buried on the edge of the field intending to dig it out in the
future. Unfortunately he was never able to return to the site and eventually
moved to the Crimea. The fragment apparently is still in the area now. The disk
rose up and zoomed up to the sky at incredible speed disappearing from sight in
a moment. Clear landing traces were left, observed by the other collective
farmers whom he brought to visit the place the next day. He was threatened not
to tell anyone of what he had seen. In 1990 while living in the hamlet of
Molodezhnyi in the Crimea the witness one night was sitting down drinking tea
when he was suddenly enveloped by the same green beam of light he had seen
years earlier. At this point the witness was able to ensue telepathic contact
with aliens, this was possible because he had been implanted with a small
communications device in 1947. The aliens informed Bodnya that their planet was
sterile and that they were vegetarians and that they had a base on the moon,
which was covered with a transparent glass dome. They expressed contempt
towards the human race and refused to reveal the location or name of their home
planet. They confirmed to the witness that there was life after death and
predictive coming catastrophes that would affect humanity. When Bodnya asked
them why didn't they contact humanity openly, their curious answer was,
"Why don't humans contact those in an insane asylum?"

Texas

Time: night
Five-year-old Percy Galloway reported
seeing a movement in the sky. At first he thought it was a comet when it
suddenly made a sharp right directly towards the witness and hovered about a
foot above the ground 200' away from him. The witness stood his ground and did
not run away. He described the object as circular, about 72' in diameter, with
domes on top and bottom. It had a black matte finish. It emitted a soft musical
tone type sound. At the same time a fog-like mist, danced around its
circumference. After a moment a brilliant light burst from the craft towards
the witness, which had to cover his eyes with his elbow. When he took a peek he
saw a large square door that seemed to implode, and there before him, stood a
tall, human looking man. He had platinum silver gray hair and very deep blue
eyes and was dressed in white tights and a thin gold belt. He radiated a warm,
benevolent feeling of love. He said, "Percy come to me." The witness
did, carefully but unafraid. As he approached to within 20' of the man, he was
convinced that he was kind, gentle and a loving person. He spoke to the witness
without moving his lips and before he could form a question to ask him, he
said, "Percy, we speak by means of telemetric---much like what you humans
call telepathy." The stranger told Percy that as long as he was in his
presence, he could speak to him the same way. Every time Percy tried to speak,
his thoughts were read before he could mouth his words. Inside the craft, they
walked down a cool, cave like hall. There was soft, white light everywhere but
Percy could not tell where it was coming from. They entered a room in which 30
men worked on instruments. They did not notice them. Percy asked if he could go
on ride on the craft. He was then taken to a control center where the man
raised his hand in the air with the palm closed. The metal of the craft became
as transparent as glass. The witness could see space. The man pointed to the
planet Earth, which was about the size of a baseball. He told Percy that they
were moving close to the speed of light and that they were going to move
faster. He was taken to a special protective area of the craft due to the
acceleration. He was placed in a room with a greenish blue light. He stood
upright and although he could not move, he was aware of everything around him.
A short time later they arrived at a mother ship, which was stationary at the
edge of the solar system. The craft entered an opening in the mother ship. The
crew and Percy left the small craft and were greeted by two human looking
people. There were dozes of others present. As they walked down a hallway,
Percy noticed three humans going the other way---a young white teenage girl, an
old man, and a white male about 30-years old. They entered a room in which a
ritual was about to start. Fifteen or twenty human looking men and women
dressed in tight white pants and loose blouses stood in a circle. He felt that
there was a leader present but he could not tell who he was. The participants
stood with faces toward the ceiling, their eyes closed and palms opened
outward. As Percy watched, each person's body took on a golden aura. The being
then took Percy to another room. There he was offered white chips and crackers
and a blue liquid to drink. Then he went to another room where he sat on high
backed chair that looked like metal but was soft like cotton. A metal headset
with two triangles on it was placed on his head. He was told that he would be
able to read and understand what was on the viewing screens. The screen then
lit up with images that moved at lighting speed. He saw medical data and
formulas. It was like looking into the future. He was told that he would not
remember anything---that it was a time capsule. Later he was returned to earth
and while hovering 500' above the ground he was lowered to the ground within a
blue beam of light.

22-year old Andrew Cherry waited at his
usual bus stop close to St Johns School in Baileyfield Road. Glancing skywards,
he caught sight of a strange object, disc-shaped with what looked like a large
glass dome in the style of an observation window. The UFO was hovering about 300 ft above the ground,
close enough for Cherry to get a clear view of its humanoid occupant. The
"alien" was wearing dark clothes and was sitting or standing beside a
control panel of some kind. He also noted the marked metal texture of the
spacecraft---"like rough diamonds"----and the orange yellow color,
which he thinks was simply a reflection of the sun's rays. The area around the
object looked hazy, possibly owing to the object's energy source. Cherry could
hear a low, smooth hum, which he associated with the flames he could see
escaping from the disc. The object suddenly tilted, spun away and disappeared
over the Fife coast in a matter of seconds.

Close to the eastern border of White
Sands missile test range a large lenticular disc-shaped craft, 99 ft in diameter, with a
dome on top and a small rim, crashed. US radars tracked it for a long time; it
was flying very slowly, apparently the pilots died out of decompression long
before the disk crashed. 5 short aliens, all dead, were found at the site.
There was a small hole in one of the portholes. The craft was moved to Muroc
AFB and later to Wright Patterson and moved to Hangar 18. The aliens were about
1.0m-1.2m in height, gray type with 3 webbed fingers, lizard-like skin, which
was originally bluish-gray-green in color but the color was distorted since all
were badly charred. Their origin was later established as star MD-5015 on top
of Cassiopeia Constellation, 60 light years away. Several other craft from that
same civilization have also crashed.

According to Gerald Anderson when he was
5 years of age, him and several other family members were out rock hunting in
the desert area, when they came upon a gully near a shallow arroyo and saw an
object that appeared to have impacted on a small slope. Curious, himself and
his cousin walked towards it and noticed that one side of it seemed to have
been ripped open, there was a lot of debris scattered around. They also saw
four apparent occupants of the craft. One was sitting next to it and was
apparently alive. Soon other witnesses arrived; some were college students from
an Eastern university. But soon several armed military personnel arrived, these
made threats to all those present and made them leave the area. The beings were
described as wearing two tone gray uniform like outfits and small in stature.
They had slightly lager heads than humans and huge bluish eyes; their skin was
very pale. The hands were also long and slender. Two of the beings were
apparently dead, one injured and the fourth was alive and appeared terrified.
No sound was heard coming from them. This is probably one of the several crash
retrieval incidents that occurred in the same area about the same time.

W D Secrest was hunting turtles in a
creek when he saw three flying disc shaped objects over the area. Scared at
first he hid behind a tree. He then noticed one of the discs descend and hover
over a nearby field. He was able to obtain a good look at the object & was
able to see a cockpit with two pilot-like figures inside as the object tilted.
He also noted a black hump behind the cockpit, which he believed housed the
engines. The other two discs remained high in the air, while the lower disc
apparently surveyed the field. It suddenly zoomed upward, took a leading
position in front of the other two discs and all three took off at incredible

Hearing a whistling sound, Jose C
Higgins, a topographer, saw coming down a lens shaped object with surrounding
flange; it landed 150 ft
away. It was of gray white metal, about 150 ft in diameter with a 3 foot rim, and 15 ft high, "crossed by
tubes in several directions," the whistling coming from these. Metallic
legs, which bent a little, supported the craft. Walking closer, he saw through
a black glass window 2 persons watching him; a door opened beneath the rim, and
there emerged 3 people enveloped in inflated transparent suits, with metal
boxes on their backs. They wore shirts and shorts, which looked as though made
of paper rather than cloth. Their heads were almost hairless, their eyes round
and large, and their legs relatively long; they were nearly 7 ft tall. All 3 looked
identical. They spoke in an unknown language, and he noticed that they kept in
the shade except for brief periods. One, pointing a metal tube at him, motioned
Higgins to enter the door, through which he could see an inner door and the end
of a "pipe." Using gestures, Higgins asked where they came from. One
drew on the ground a dot (the sun, "Alamo" in their language)
surrounded by 7 circles, and pointed alternately to the seventh circle (called
"Orque" Uranus) and to their craft. Not wishing to go there, Higgins
showed them a picture of his wife, indicating that he did not want to leave
her, and the allowed him to go. From the forest he looked back to see them
"playing like children, jumping in the air and throwing enormous
stones." After half an hour, having "carefully examined their
surroundings," they re-entered and the craft took off.

Ascending a mountain stream, the
Chiarao, R L Johannis came upon a 10-meter wide lens shaped object of red
burnished metal, wedged into a rock crack so that it stood on edge. It had a
low cupola bearing a thin telescoping antenna like a car radio's but no
openings. Seeing two "boys" 50 meters away, he called out to them, and
began to approach them. When within 25 meters, he saw that they were midget-sized
beings not over 3 ft
tall, wearing dark blue overalls of translucent material, with bright red
belts, collars, and cuffs. Their large heads were covered with broad tight
fitting caps. They had immense round yellow green eyes with vertical slit
pupils, and a mere slit of a ^-shaped mouth, which kept opening and closing.
Their skin was dull greenish; they walked like robots, with arms hanging. After
a couple of minute's stupor, Johannis waved his geologist's pick and called
out, asking who they were. At this one raised his hand to his belt and a thin
puff of smoke received was emitted; Johannis found himself flat on the ground,
paralyzed, feeling as if he had received an electric shock. He saw one of the
beings pick up his pick, with a green hand that had eight fingers, four of them
opposite like our thumbs. Then with small steps they slowly walked to the
saucer. A few minutes after they entered the rock crack, the disk rose
vertically to about 15 ft
above the ground (still on edge, "like a gong") & hovered there,
while Johannis tried to get up but fell back again. The disc tipped a bit, and
then took off, with a blast of wind that rolled Johannis into the stony
riverbed. It was more than 2 hours before he felt able to walk home. When he
unpacked his pack, he found that the aluminum objects in it were missing. At
this time he had never heard of flying saucers.

Unconventional Flying Objects: A Scientific
Analysis
- Paul R. Hill
Here is a book to intrigue both
non-technical and more mechanically inclined UFO enthusiasts. Without making a
case for the origins of UFOs, Hill argues that their functionality is feasible
by applying established principles of physics to existing reports in which an
amazingly consistent UFO behavior has been described. In language which is
technically sound, but not so advanced that the layman could not understand,
Hill works out several possible propulsion systems for these mysterious craft.

1948 Humanoid Reports. During the early
years it was said that many reports describing humanoid or entities related to
UFOs were routinely discarded by investigators, why? Maybe they were not ready
for such bizarre reports; their realm only included flying discs and mysterious
lights in the sky. Reality was slowly creeping in on them, as we shall see.
Following is a list of Humanoid encounters for 1948.

A doctor was returning home on horseback
when suddenly the horse stopped, head erect and nostrils wide. The animal’s
body began to quiver and its eyes popped out as if it was seeing something not
yet visible to its rider. Moments later the horse began to whine strangely as a
being described as beautiful, human like with a youthful face and golden hair
appeared on the road just ahead. The being wore celestial green colored
garments and was enveloped in a soft golden aura. He had penetrating blue eyes.
The being did not speak as it kept pace with the horse when it started walking
again. The doctor briefly closed his eyes and thanked God for the experience,
when he opened his eyes again the angelic being disappeared.

amazed to what she saw. Not one, but four UFOs. Two were saucer shaped and two
like elongated cigars. The girls were so excited by this that they jumped up
and down and waved towards the objects. Linda recalls figures waving back in
response, but were to far away to describe them. The objects were very low
down, almost at roof height, hovering. The saucers had windows all around the
circumference separated by upright flashing bars. The cigars however had
windows only at the front. Linda felt that the UFOs were deliberately watching
them. Suddenly one of the cigar shaped objects, which had been hanging back
swooped down, and immediately all four UFOs rose upwards and disappeared

It was reported by the Tzeltal Indians
that there were many sightings of a creature called the “ikal” and several
people apparently tried to fight it with machetes. One man also saw a small
sphere following him from about five ft. After many attempts he finally hit it
with his machete and it disintegrated, leaving only an ash-like substance.
Locals had been paralyzed by the little beings that were thought to live in
caves. The strange little beings are believed to be from another world and some
have been seen flying with some kind of rocket like thing attached to the back.
With this rocket they are said to occasionally to have carried off people. Some
are described as black and hairy. Another man, apparently inebriated
encountered one of the short hairy creatures that jumped all around him and
kept tickling him. He tried to hit it with a stick, but couldn’t. Finally he

A series of distress calls were sent out
by the Dutch freighter Ourang Medan in the Straits of Malacca, “All officers
including captain dead, lying in chartroom and on bridge, probably whole crew
dead�” This chilling message,
accompanied by a spate of desperate SOS calls, was followed by indecipherable
Morse code�then a final message just two
stark words, “I die.” Boarding parties found the dead radio operator, his hand on the
Morse key, eyes wide open. The entire crew even the ship’s dog were discovered
in the same terrified posture, all dead. According to a frequently mentioned
document, called ‘The Proceedings of the Merchant Marine Council” the crew were
found “teeth bared, with their upturned faces to the sun, staring, as if in
fear�” Following this grim discovery,
a fire broke out in the ship’s hold. The boarding parties were forced to
abandon her. Shortly after, a violent explosion described in some accounts as so violent
the vessel “lifted herself from the water” and she quickly sank.

a metallic saucer-shaped object hovering low above one of the barns. Stevens
immediately realized that the object was real and solid and that it measured
about 60 feet
in diameter and was about 10 to 12
feet thick. The center seemed to be shaped like a dome,
which gave off a brilliant orange light. The dome was transparent, because when
the object inclined slightly he was able to see a silhouette of a man-like
figure inside. The occupant of the saucer seemed to be concentrating his glance
on the several barns on the farm. Stevens thought that it was because he had a

longer see the occupant. The object then flipped over and shot away at high

Local resident Peter Grigorievich
Bykavorov reportedly saw a landed disc-shaped object and humanoids near the
Geran railway station. The witness noticed three “men of strange appearance”
near the landed disc-shaped object. Their was of a very interesting structure,
it was cone shaped on top, gray in color but the tip of the cone was white, the
bottom of the cone was also white. On top of the cone there was something
resembling rubber or plastic. The inside of the ship, its framework, was
cylindrical in shape, made out of numerous tube-like structures. The door was
positioned in the center of the cylinder. The three men seemed to “freeze in
place” (suspended animation) every time the witness looked at them. The
humanoids were dressed in tight-fitting overalls, which clearly outlined their
musculature. Under their helmets they had yellowish caps. Their hair was short,
bristling, sticking straight up. All three of the humanoids looked young, no
more than 30 years of age. Their faces were clean shaven without wrinkles. They
never spoke a word with the witness. And amazingly the local chief of the
diesel electric power plant apparently communicated with the aliens, the aliens
requested a favor from him, and he went to a local food store and purchased several
foodstuffs for the aliens. Bykavorov watched all this in amazement from a
distance. Apparently at first the aliens had tried to visit the store, but
after creating a stir in the store they had to leave. So after that failed
attempt they asked the chief to do it for them instead. Unfortunately due to
the distance additional details were not established. The humanoids generally
stayed away from everybody, and remained close to their landed craft. When some
of the locals attempted to approach the object the humanoids boarded their
craft and flew towards the nearby mountains. According to the witnesses the
craft “flew very fast”. However they returned in the evening as it got dark. At
that time the aliens switched on a light, very bright similar to an ox-eye,
about 5 meters
long, of yellow and red in color. Near the craft the aliens constructed a
bonfire that seemed to burn very hot and was same shape as the bottom of their
craft, the whole afternoon the aliens had been very busy occupied by some work.
Bykavorov who kept a close eye on their activities felt fear but eventually was
able to establish telepathic communication with the alien crew. At times he
would receive orders from the aliens to come close but he could not remember
most of the details. Bykavorov was summoned on several occasions by the aliens
outside during the night. The second time he watched a large metallic
cone-shaped craft that remained on the ground for two days (!). The next day he
saw a huge burst of flame but no smoke, rise from the ground. Bykavorov did not
see the aliens again after that. Incredibly it is reported that several unknown
items were left behind by the aliens and these were picked up by the operators
of a local hostel (nothing is known as to what happened to the items). Bykavorov
only spoke about the incident 30 years later. It must be remembered that during
Stalin’s times it was prohibited to speak about UFOs in the USSR, and the
witness only spoke about the incident in the late 90’s.

A disk crashed to earth on this date
after having been detected by three separate radar units in the southwest, one
of which was said to have disrupted the craft’s control mechanism. The area of
impact was calculated by triangulation and this information was immediately
relayed to Air Defense Command and Gen. George C Marshall, then Secretary of
State, who allegedly contacted the MJ-12 group as well as the interplanetary
Phenomenon unit (IPU) of the Army Counterintelligence Directorate. The IPU
operated out of Camp Hale Colorado, at this time. The source claims that its
main function was to collect and deliver disabled or crashed disks to certain specified
secret locations. The craft was recovered within hours by the IPU scout team
about 12 miles
northeast of Aztec. All those involved in the recovery were sworn to an above
top-secret oath. The IPU convoy used a route to the site that avoided main roads,
and on arrival roadblocks were set up at strategic points within two miles of
the recovery area. The owner of a ranch and his family were allegedly held
incommunicado and told never to discuss the matter. Equipment hauling trucks
were camouflaged to look like oil drilling rigs during the operation. A team of
scientists arrived at the site a little later than the IPU and began dissecting
the disk. They entered the craft one by one, entry having been gained via a
fractured porthole. The portholes themselves looked metallic and only appeared
translucent on close inspection. Inside the craft they found two humanoids,
about two feet in height, slumped over an instrument panel charred deep brown.
Another 12 bodies lay sprawled on the floor in chamber within the cabin, making
a total of 14 bodies. An instrument panel supposedly had several pushbuttons
and levers with hieroglyphic type symbols, as well as symbols illuminated on
small display screens. Scientists discovered that the controls panels had
drawers, which rolled out, but no wiring could be detected. A book composed of
parchment like leaves with the texture of plastic also contained the strange
hieroglyphs---similar to Sanskrit. Meanwhile another small group of scientists
and military personnel examined the craft and were eventually able to dismantle
it when several interlocking key devices were found which opened up seams at
specific points. Three days later the segments were loaded onto three trucks,
together with the bodies, and covered with a tarpaulin marked “Explosives.”
According to the report the bodies were described as averaging 42 inches in length. The
facial features strongly resembled “mongoloid Orientals” in appearance, which
disproportionately large heads, large “slant” eyes, small noses and mouths. The
average weight was about 40
pounds. The torsos were very small and thin, with very
thin necks. The arms were long and slender, reaching the knees, with hands
containing long and slender fingers with webbing between them. There was no
digestive or gastrointestinal tract, no alimentary or intestinal canal, and no
rectal point. No reproductive organs were apparent. Instead of blood there was
a colorless liquid with no red cells, which smelled similar to ozone.

Espinoza got up early in order to arrange some sugar cane carts, which he had
left in the fields in order to work on them later. Ignoring his mother’s his
mother’s pleas not to go out on such a Holy day because the “Devil himself was
out doing his work on this day” Jose headed out to the carts. Soon after
climbing on the first cart he began his labors, suddenly he noticed standing on
the last cart (there were four carts) a little man, only about one foot and a
half in height, fiery red in color, emitting sparks from “horn like protrusions
and a tail”. The little man noticed the stunned Jose and produced a small ball
of fire which he flung at Jose, he repeated this several times; rolling several
balls of fire at Jose, each ball was bigger than the last. Jose barely managed
to avoid the fiery spheres, and could not further react to the situation.
Finally he reacted and screamed with all his might, “this is the devil!”, and
quickly jumped from the cart, running towards his house without stopping.

They pulled into the desert about five feet from the road. As her husband was

She looked up to see what made him growl. Standing about 50 feet away was a huge
humanoid figure. She did not feel threatened by it, but did feel that it was
looking at her. She began walking towards it, accompanied by her dog that was
still growling. It seemed gorilla like but despite the moonlight she could not
see any features. She heard her husband yell out to stop and, she turned her
head and felt the dog relax, she turned back and the creature had vanished.
There was nothing within miles for such a huge creature to hide behind, it
simply dematerialized. Soon her husband packed up and left the area.

V.Z., a local boy and resident of an
area “hutor” (small village) was taken along with his older sister and a
neighbor girl from the collective farm to the fields since it was their turn to
graze/pasture the cows. Around mid-day the cows went to sleep after eating
their share of grass, the girls and the small boy also sat to rest on the grass
after eating their lunch. Soon the boy’s sister and the other girl decided to
tan themselves on the grass and they sent the boy to rest on the other side of
the hill. He walked there laid under a brush and fell asleep. Soon he was
awakened by the sound of a piercing/penetrating whistle, but not loud, and then
V.Z. saw a silver-colored object resembling a huge upside down plate. The
object landed not far from the witness on three landing props and became
silent. V.Z. later regretted not running away immediately, but stayed there,
very scared but curious at the same time. After some time a door on the
“saucer” opened and three humanoid entities walked out of it. They were very
thin and tall, wearing silver suits. V.Z. stood transfixed or paralyzed to the
same spot. The aliens approached him, took his hand and led him into the landed
craft. At first they appeared in a very narrow and small corridor. The aliens
closed a door and then a second one and took the boy into a small room along
the narrow corridor. Half of the room was occupied by 4 cages made out of
metallic rods. In one of these cages the boy saw a bear, in the second one---a
woman and in the third---three men of Caucasian appearance, and in the
fourth---a man of Slavic descent. The boy was then placed together with the
last man, in the same cage. V.Z. recollected and comprehended all of this only
later, because at the time he was seized with horror. Even dozens of years
later, V.Z. could not describe his state. He couldn’t neither scream nor
resist, he was in a trance-like state, his will to resist had been totally
neutralized. As soon as the boy and aliens entered the room, the bear began
dashing around the cage and growling, and the woman began screaming in
hysterics. She was undressed, naked, her hair disheveled, her eyes fixed in a wild
stare and she was foaming at the mouth. The three Caucasian men knelt down and
began to pray loudly in an unknown language (evidently in Arabic). The Slavic
man attempted to calm the boy, bringing the boy to his senses and distracting
him from the horrible things around him. As the boy realized later he had been
taken onboard an alien spaceship, and the spacecraft then began to move. And a
most horrible thing occurred. The aliens took out an “operation table” from the
wall, and put one of the Caucasian men on it. The man seemed totally helpless
and did not resist. The Slavic man then pulled the boy close to him and began
talking to him, distracting his attention and calming him down. The boy
remembered that the tall thin aliens were now dissecting the body of the
Caucasian man on the operation table, and there was not even a folding screen
to cover this gory and bloody event from the witness. Then the aliens collected
all the pieces of the unfortunate man and placed them in a box, washed out the
blood and left the room. The man who was in the cage with V.Z. asked the boy
his name, his place of origin and his nickname. About himself he told the young
boy that he was from the Urals and that he was a mining engineer, his name was
probably Alexander. Then he began to talk to the woman but she seemed not to
react and the other two remaining men also remained silent. Then the man said
to V.Z., “We will fight the bad men, together, you and me, OK?” Some time later
the man V.Z. called “Uncle Sasha” brought him to the edge of the cage and told
him to attempt to squeeze out of the cage. The boy was scared but the man
convinced him and with great difficulty the boy managed to crawl out of the
cage. Then Uncle Sasha told V.Z. to press a button, but the boy couldn’t reach
it, since the button was positioned high, much higher than the boy’s height.
The man then found a solution, he undressed, tied up all his clothing into a
bundle and gave it to the boy so he could stand on it and reach the button on
the wall. After several attempts the boy finally succeeded in pressing the
button. The lock on the cage then clicked and the man walked out of the cage.
He then dressed, walked toward the cage where the other two men were and again
tried to talk to them, but they never reacted. “Sasha” then searched the room
trying to find something to defend himself with, but he couldn’t find anything.
V.Z. and “Sasha” then walked to other rooms in the craft after finding the
buttons that could open the doors, and only in three rooms did they find the
aliens which were sleeping (!). In an upper room (cockpit) near the control
panel, they saw another alien who was also dozing by the control panel.
Searching the craft for any source of weapon as the alien crew slept Sasha
failed to find anything remotely resembling a weapon. The witnesses then
succeeded in opening another door, which apparently led to the “engine” room.
They descended into this room but failed to find anything useful and then
returned to the corridor where they began to open other doors on the corridor.
There were several such doors positioned in different places. Finally they
opened the largest door and found a metallic box with a stripe set up on
metallic struts. Sasha then moved the boy to a safe distance and threw the
metallic box on to some of the terminals. Immediately sparks appeared, smoke
came out of the box and a crackling sound was heard. Moments later what sounded
like alarms signals also went off. Three of the aliens then awoke rushed out of
their rooms, they threw themselves on Sasha and threw the boy aside, and he sat
on the floor watching the scuffle. Sasha struggled with two of the aliens as
the third one ran into a room. The third alien came back seconds later carrying
what appeared to be a metallic rod of some kind, he touched the struggling
Sasha with the road and immediately he was paralyzed. The boy and the man were
then put back into the cage, moments later one alien left the room but two
others stayed behind. These two aliens began to communicate with Sasha asking
him who he was and how he was able to “resist” so well. The humanoids were
curious as to why the other “creatures” they had captured were in such a low
level of development. Sasha explained to them that the other three humans in
the cages were of very low level of education and the female had probably gone
insane from fear. As for V.Z. Sasha pointed out that he was a smart human but
lacked “technique”, he then pointed out that the last creature in the other
case was not human at all but a “bear” or animal without any human emotions or
intellect. In response the aliens told him that they aim was to study the
surrounding space (space exploration). They had always considered the
population of earth as being in a very low level of development. But when earthlings
began testing atomic bombs in 1945 they became interested and decided to
conduct in depth studies of the human civilization. They told Sasha, “To waste
radioactive material for explosions was madness. These materials could be used
for other needs and they (the aliens) had those materials in very low quantity
and were very valuable to them. They used the radioactive materials to obtain
energy which they used in various branches of science and technique and also
for space travel.” It became evident to Sasha and V.Z. that these aliens basic
aim was to find and extract radioactive material from other planets, and their
secondary aim was to study other space civilizations. Then the aliens invited
Sasha to accompany them to their main ship (mothership) and then to their home
planet. He agreed but put forward the following conditions, the aliens were to
release all of their human captives onboard the craft. The extraterrestrials at
first rejected this condition but Sasha assured them that anyway no one would believe
them and their visit would remain a secret. The aliens trusted Sasha and agreed
to his condition. The aliens seemed in a hurry since they were intending to
depart in a preliminary calculated route. V.Z. does not know where the aliens
dropped off the other 3 remaining humans but Sasha insisted that the aliens
deposit V.Z. at the same location he was picked up from. He asked V.Z. to
remember his name and address. When the aliens freed the boy the time was
already morning, before they did however the aliens insisted in giving V.Z. an
injection which they said he needed to survive since he had been exposed to
“radiation” in their engine room (the environment inside the craft was
evidently very radioactive). The aliens led the boy out of the craft injected him
and then he blacked out. Later V.Z. awoke from voices, and he noticed a chain
of people walking through a field searching for him. His mother then ran to him
and asked him where he had been, but V.Z. felt a strong headache was trembling
with fever and was very thirsty. He was then brought home to bed. V.Z. was ill
for a long time and felt a metallic taste in his mouth and his skin couldn’t be
exposed to bright sunrays. However he wasn’t taken to a hospital and was
“cured” using home remedies. When he tried to tell people what had happened
V.Z. was mostly ignored and distracted. Gradually he recovered but could not go
out in the sun for a long time after that. Soon V.Z. told his story to his
sister and she told his mother. He wanted to write a letter detailing what had
occurred to him but his mother said no since “it might getting in trouble with
the militia”.
Three years later V.Z. was pasturing the
cows alone when he saw a military jeep approaching. The vehicle stopped nearby
and a neighbor boy walked out of it, along with two militia men and a civilian.
One of the men approached V.Z. and asked him his name and then told the
civilian male, “You talk here, and we will go and smoke”. Not knowing why, V.Z.
became very frightened as the man in civilian clothing began talking to him in
very familiar terms. V.Z answered that he did not know him and is seeing him
for the first time. The stranger then told V.Z., “Do you remember when we
visited Leningrad?” V.Z. answered that he had never been to Leningrad and had
lived in the small village all his life. Then the man (obviously from the
Secret Police) reminded V.Z. of his encounter with aliens, but V.Z. refused to
believe him since at this point he could not remember anything about the
encounter. The man apparently became upset and told V.Z. that if he said
everything he knew he will become “a respected man and get an education”. But
V.Z. stubbornly refused and could not remember anything still. After that the
militia men approached and also asked V.Z. questions, he told them that he
didn’t know the stranger in civilian clothing. The man in civilian then
suggested that they interrogate V.Z. under hypnosis. But the militia men
answered that no one would permit them to do that. The men in civilian clothing
insisted explaining that he would provide the conditions for the interrogation
if they trusted him. But the militia man also insisted pointing out that they
trusted him but was not sure if “the others” would trust V.Z. pointing at him
and then they left but not before telling V.Z. not to tell anyone of their
visit.

One night, a bright metallic green light
that pierced through his closed eyelids awakened the 5-year old witness. He
opened his eyes and saw a shaft of green light shining into his bedroom through
a gap in the curtains. He threw his blanket aside and jumped out of bed to look
out the window and down into the farmyard. He saw a corona of green light
radiating into the sky. He assumed that it was his uncle digging up night crawlers
for bait, using a new bright lantern. Feeling safe he exited the window and
walked toward the rear of the chicken coop expecting to see his uncle. His eyes
were drawn to a blue/white cylindrical object shaped like a spade on an ace of
spades card. It was about twelve feet tall and five feet wide at the widest
part. All of the sudden, his body vibrated and felt large, weightless and
fuzzy. Soon he was in a large glowing red corridor with an arched ceiling. A
very tall thin man with long gold hair, wearing a metallic golden brown,
tubular collared, uniform stood next to him. He looked down at the witness with
huge blue friendly eyes as his left hand waved him on through an archway. He
put his large hand behind the witness back, and guided him. Somehow the hand’s
touch soothed the witness anxiety. As he entered a small room, he noticed a
centrally located white pedestal table with metal instruments hanging above.
The tall man hoisted him onto the table. He noticed an odor on him similar to
frankincense. Instinctively he laid down for an examination. Above him he saw a
large round purple light come on, and simultaneously in the center of his head
he felt a tickling sensation. In no time, all his consciousness ceased and he
felt something on his right side. It felt like a sword entering his right rib
cage and going up into his heart. When it entered it felt warm and pleasant.
The “sword” retracted. The witness opened his eyes briefly and saw several
baldheaded silhouettes partially eclipsing the light. Soon an exhilarating
feeling came over him and he found himself standing in the shadows behind the
chicken coop. He ran back to his bed.

humanoid figures walking on top of the walls of the fortress. Incredibly the
figures appeared to be horned; additional details could not be seen in the
dark. The frightened boys hid in the darkness, picked up their fishing gear and
fled to their nearby homes. According to local legend these entities use to
live underground, at times visiting the surface through carefully disguised
tunnels. Hearsay has it that at one point in the distant past a UFO crashed in
the region and the occupants of the object hid in the rumored underground
passageways of the fortress. These horned humanoids reportedly are not seen
during the daylight hours since they cannot tolerate bright sun light. There
are other legends and a more prosaic hypothesis that deals with hiding
surviving Romanian soldiers which hid in the fortress after WWII. The shape of
their field caps reportedly resembled horns or tri-star in shape.

or else he would die (!). Frightened he stayed in his bed but a bright light
coming through the window made him look outside. Outside he saw the little men
and his mother walk into the light. He didn’t remember going to sleep but then
he woke up. His mother greeted him and then told him that his dog Rusty had
jumped out the window and accidentally hung himself, possibly in attempt to
chase an intruder.

17-year old shepherd Lucas del Pozo was
guarding his family watermelon patch when he suddenly noticed what appeared to
be a “whirlwind” appeared within the patch. The dust or dirt covered the whole
field and the witness feared that the crop had been lost. As he approached the
field he was surprised to see a large metallic bowl-shaped object sitting in
the middle of the field that seemed to have come out of nowhere. From the
object a short humanoid figure with long dangling arms and short legs emerged.
The humanoid had small beady black eyes; slick back black hair that appeared
glued to his head, small fingers, and moved around in strangely coordinated
moves. It wore a very tight-fitting mustard colored coverall. Afraid the
witness fled the area and did not see the humanoid or object depart.

It was harvest time and all the
villagers were working in the fields except for the witness a 12-year old boy
at the time that remained behind guarding his house. He was very bored and
switched on the radio but instead of music there was only a strange whistling
sound. The radio seemed to be broken. So he took off the headphones and
realized that the strange and unbearable noise was coming from outside. The boy
then opened the window and saw two small, very thin creatures both dressed in
shining tight-fitting outfits. The entities had large heads and dark slanted
piercing eyes. One of them had horns or wore a horned helmet. The witness
became frightened and shocked and then fainted, remaining unconscious for
several hours. His parents found him lying on the floor. When he recovered he
told them that he had seen the “devil”. All his life he thought that he had
been cursed by the “devils” and they were responsible for his failures and
illnesses.

Date: August 18 1948
Time: daytime
Valentin Stepanovich was fishing on a
small river near the mountains when suddenly he saw a silver, cigar shaped
craft nearby, and several luminous balls of light separated from the object and
flew in the direction of the witness. He also noticed several tall and
beautiful women nearby, with long blond hair and smiling. Suddenly he blacked
out and when he regained consciousness he found himself onboard a craft, lying
on a bed inside a room. An alien “Nordic” woman entered the room, and
telepathically communicated with him, he agreed to go with them. The flight
apparently lasted 3 months, but a year had passed on the Earth. While in space,
he walked among the crew, and explored different rooms. The craft was cigar
shaped, more than 100
meters long and approximately 30 meters in diameter.
The aliens told him that it was flying beyond the speed of light, like
“piercing” space. The craft had two power plants on each end. The partitions
between the craft’s compartments could be walked through. These passages were
colored in different shades. He slept and ate for a long time. Soon they landed
on the alien planet that was approximately twice bigger than earth. It was
divided into three huge continents. The aliens were tall, more than 2.0 meters in height,
biologically similar to humans, with an average life span of 300-400 years.
They resembled Nordic people, with blond hair, and slightly slanted bluish,
greenish, grayish eyes. The women were beautiful. All the aliens were dressed
in a single piece tight-fitting silver suit made out of a multi-layered
composite material, with automatic cooling and heating systems and a system to
extract waste. The suits protected them from radiation and from all sorts of
weapons. The suits also had a multi-functional device installed into its lower
part of the breast area. It was for visual and audio communication purposes as
well as an antigravity controller. Stepanovich was also made to dress into this
suit and his terrestrial clothing was put away. At first he communicated with
the aliens via telepathy but soon learned their language enough to be able to
communicate. The aliens possessed a number of small disc shaped craft used for
planetary transport and possessed huge underground industrial areas. Landscapes
were picturesque, and plants were grown hydroponically. He became acquainted
with the alien’s history. He learned that there had been a war between the
current race of tall blond aliens and a shorter race of dwarf-like beings. The
war destroyed the dwarf-like race completely. Valentin met an alien woman named
Liffa and soon fell in love with her. At one time he attempted to kiss her, and
her skin became extremely red and she told him to get away from her. For this
transgression he Stepanovich was punished and was briefly exiled into a
polluted and radioactive satellite moon. He survived the exile and soon he was
allowed to marry Liffa (!). They had a child together. Valentin also helped the
aliens with a small problem. There was a small colony of humans taken from
Earth to that planet. Its leader was a German with Nazi ideas. Valentin soon
realized that this man and his friends wanted to take control of the planet and
informed the aliens about the situation. The rebels were quickly and safely
neutralized. Soon after this Valentin returned to earth. He was interrogated by
the Russian secret police since he could not explain where he had been for
three years. He wrote his fascinating adventure on an unusual notebook, which
was later confiscated by the police.

The witness (a woman who wishes to
remain anonymous) was drawing water from a well when an object (a round,
luminous ball) landed in an adjacent cornfield. Two longhaired, bearded men got
out, wearing long robes with a sash around the middle, and one of them came up
and spoke to her in accented English. “He told her not to be afraid, and
assured her she would not be harmed if she would cooperate and answer some
simple questions.” After about half an hour’s conversation, she fled into the
house, where the second humanoid was standing in the doorway; they left, and
she saw the UFO ascend. In the cornfield was a flattened and scorched area. The
witness “only spoke of the incident when forced to do so.”

Kathryn Brown was in her car when she
suddenly got the feeling that something was about to happen, she felt great
power and gentleness around her. She was not afraid, as she no longer could
hear the car radio or engine. And then she saw the familiar lights ahead of the
car and fell into what she thought was a deep sleep. She soon discovered that
she had lost 2 hours and felt extremely hungry. Later she recalled being
onboard an object and meeting a human like figure, tall with long brown hair,
blue eyes and who spoke English, he seemed to be the “captain” or leader. The
rest of the crew were shorter than her, with grayish white skin and wearing
what appeared to be space travel suits. These communicated with the witness by
using mental telepathy. After entering a small passageway she was taken to what
appeared to be a command center. There she was shown a window that had been
invisible from outside. She also saw what appeared to be star maps, dials and
abstract drawings. The tall man and one of the short creatures showed her how
to operate the dials. The floor was very shiny and made her feel light. Her
next memory was of being back in her vehicle. (Involved in other experiences).

Carmelite nun Teresita Castillo was
walking in a garden when suddenly a nearby vine began to shake. A small shining
female figure then appeared and requested that she kiss the earth and return to
same spot for fifteen consecutive days. She was in a cloud, dressed in white,
hands clasped, and a golden rosary hanging from her right hand. Her dress was
very white, very simple, and had a narrow belt tied around her. She was radiant
with beauty. She requested that the vine be blessed and that a statue be place
at the site of the apparition.

18-year old Guiseppe Madau was walking
home from a religious seminar when he perceived a loud “tone” like sound coming
from overhead. Looking up he saw a strange craft approaching, maintaining an
oblique position, at about rooftop height. It was a round disc with a
transparent cupola on top. Inside the dome, Madau could see two men. The men
were human-like, fair skinned, and apparently blond. Curious the witness waved
at the men, who then smiled and waved back. The craft now descended silently
flying parallel to the ground. On the upper section of the object there was a
bright beam of light that changed colors, from green, to orange and blue. This
beam completely enveloped Madau. Soon he perceived an “electronic” sound in his
mind and heard words telling him to be “calm.” Soon the sound became somewhat
painful, and the witness mentally told them that he “was not going with them.”
Scared he began reciting the Mother Mary prayer. He then heard a loud feminine
voice telling him to be quiet. The sensation in his mind continued, and he
again invoked Mother Mary. Finally the sensation stopped. The light around him
disappeared and when he turned around the object and the men were gone.

Time: unknown
A UFO crashed somewhere in the Dreamy
Draw area. Another version to the report has it that a UFO settled down in the
Dreamy Draw area but actually crashed 10 miles away near Cave Creek landfill. The
remains of its two aliens, described as about 4-1/2 ft tall were recovered.
They were kept in some guy’s freezer for a while and then taken away by the
military. Some believe the reason the Army Corps of Engineers built the Dreamy
Draw dam was not for flood control, but to bury the UFO. There are reports of a
large underground vault in the area.

A 15-year old shepherd boy named Behoet
Ocal was eating his lunch when a bright light landed nearby on a mound of
rubble. From inside the light came three beings, a woman, and two men. They
were all of the same height. The woman had long hair and the men were bald. All
of the extraterrestrials had a very bright object of plaque on their upper
chests. They told the boy they would not harm him and said they came from
another world. The woman had slanted eyes and wore a tight dress; the men had
“instruments” in place of ears and implements on their belts. They said they
would appear to Ocal “often” and “send me pictures.” They left the same way
they arrived. Ocal claims he has been in contact with them ever since, and has
devised a star map, with their aid; it depicts the center of the universe, from
which all things originated, and is identified as “Kur.” He always felt a deep
comfort in the presence of the aliens. But three weeks after the first
encounter the same three aliens returned to meet Ocal, one of them then
suddenly raised his hand and Ocal felt a strong “energy wave” hit him. He
fainted and had to visit a doctor who said he was suffering from appeared to be
a “strong electrical shock” and a deep sun tan.

The witness had gotten up in order to
use the outside commode when he noticed an area of diffused light next to a
nearby wooden fence. The whitish foggy light began taking the form of a woman
wearing a white robe like outfit. Her facial features were not clearly seen,
but she had long black beautiful hair. Frightened the witness asked the figure
who she was. In apparent response the figure raised one of her arms and the
witness that always carried a loaded gun, fired his weapon directly at the
stranger, which suddenly vanished in plain sight. He walked over to where the
figure had been and could not find any footprints or trace of her.
