1966 Humanoid Reports. The year 1966 will be remembered as the year when a bizarre entity made its appearance in a little town called "Point Pleasant" West Virginia. It was a winged oddity that for reasons unknown made that little section of West Virginia his home for almost two years. Along with his appearance there were numerous high strangeness reports in the area, including MIB encounters, UFO sightings, and animal mutilations. Of course its origin has never been determined, and its purpose will remain hidden. A tragic event was to unfold in that little town at the end of the year, that some investigators link it to the enigmatic appearance of the "Mothman." Besides the bizarre encounters in West Virginia, there were scattered reports worldwide of humanoid encounters, mainly in the US, which continued in the throes of an unprecedented UFO wave. Other incidents of note were reported in Australia, and Canada. Following is a list of summaries of known Humanoid encounters for 1966.

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

Location. Peter Bottom Arkansas

Date: 1966

Time: late afternoon

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

Location. Blowing Cave, Arkansas

Date: 1966

Time: late afternoon

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

Time: afternoon

The 16-year old witness and a friend were at the Library of Congress when out of the blue and out of the elevator doors a stunning figure, with a perfect body; radiant beautiful blue eyes and blond short hair stepped in. The witness believes there was some sort of telepathic communication. The witness had the extreme urge to touch the stranger, but this one would simply but pleasantly not allow it. He just smiled, laughed at the same time radiating some sort of inner peace and kindness. He seemed amused at the witness childish behavior. They then followed the stranger down the corridor leading to the exit. He stood and looked back, and smiled. The witness ran out the building to see the stranger enter a yellow car that was parked just in front of theirs. The yellow car disappeared in the heavy traffic. That same night in Silver Spring Maryland both witnesses heard a voice in their dining room and kitchen. They both then looked out the window to see an unknown object hovering high in the sky. Minute's later air force planes were seen over the area.

Date: 1966

Time: 1800

A man riding with his girlfriend on his motorcycle on highway 99 had just driven out of the tunnel when they noticed a yellowish rectangle hanging in the air in the distance, just north of the airport. Lifting his helmet visor the witness noticed that the object was still there and was not a reflection. As they drove through Richmond they continued glancing at the object, as they approached the end of Oak Street, they could see what appeared to be shadows of people moving about inside the rectangle, which suddenly began to close. It was just like a door had swung shut and it was gone. They both had the impression that they had been looking through a doorway into some sort of large room, of an object that was completely invisible from the outside. The weather had been clear and sunny.

Just after sunset, Fazenda owner Walter de Freitas saw a bright white light come down from the sky and land by the river, 500 yards away. He walked to within 50 yards and could see a metallic lens shaped object standing on legs. Underneath it were moving figures-he was not sure whether like people or like animals-and he could see & hear that they were digging in the earth. When he got to within 30 yards, these 3 or 4 figures disappeared into the craft, which shot out fire and smoke and rose straight up. Many small fresh holes were left at the site.

MB was lying in bed when she suddenly became aware of a far-off whirring vibration, suddenly a small metallic Saturn shaped object appeared and hovered quietly over her bed, it seemed to have numerous oval shaped portholes around its rim. As she lay there staring at the object, she suddenly found herself inside of it. She was seated on a stool next to a porthole looking outside at what appeared to be ploughed fields and fences. Suddenly the craft swept up and nothing more was visible except for the interior of the object. She noticed sitting on a seat facing her, a very handsome man. He appeared to have perfect looks, build and immaculate in dress. He wore green "spectacles" with square frames and a hat. He stared intently at the witness. Besides him, where three more men and a woman. The woman wore a silk scarf tied around her head; a pleated woolen skirt in brown tones and a finely knitted woolen twin-set and a pair of brown brogues. She saw in the pit of the craft machinery and several crewmembers operating machinery. One of them operated a central steering column, which stood upright in the middle. Suddenly she found herself inside a large room, empty but for a white painted dining room table, oval shaped, and six tall backed chairs around it. From the wall protruded an elbow-arm with a large green disc light over the center of the table. She was alone in the room and noticed several white painted closed doors. She went to one of the doors then opened it, there was a long passage, and she went in and then found herself back in the central control room of the craft. When she became aware that they were returning to earth she panicked and pleaded with the crew not to take her back. But without any knowledge how she got there, she suddenly found herself lying in her bed again.

He looked up into the sky and saw the biggest and scariest bird-like creature gliding across the pond, silently and with glaring eyes. It looked like it had fur rather than feathers and its wingspan was about 20 ft. Terrified the witness beat a hasty retreat from the area. (Mothman in New Jersey?).

Time: 0815A

Driving 2 miles north of La Harpe on Rte. 94, Violet Bricker observed the flash of lights on what she first believed was an approaching plane; as it neared, she saw it was more dirigible-shaped and closing on her rapidly on a collision course. It stopped and hovered over the telephone lines opposite her car; silent, it was egg shaped, about as long as a Piper Club and 10 feet thick, and had a single bright yellow-white light on the end facing her. No doors, ports, or landing gear were seen; a lateral line like a seam encircled it. It began revolving in a clockwise motion on its axis, bringing the other end in view and exposing a two-foot platform on which stood a "man" wearing a bulky, white one-piece suit. He was about 5 1/2 feet tall, stocky in build, and he stood with his left hand against the object and his right hand on his hip, staring directly down on the witness. His face had a ruddy complexion and his eyes were dark; he looked entirely normal otherwise. The object drifted about on its axis again and the figure was lost from view, rapidly disappearing from view. She was so taken aback by the experience she could not recall if she actually stopped her car or not; she recalled seeing a man and a woman on foot not 20 feet away to whom she signaled frantically to catch their attention, but to no avail.

Beside it were 3 small individuals the size of 9-year old children, wearing "large headgear," who seemed to be conversing; all wore one-piece garments with an extremely luminous band across the chest, whose colors constantly changed. There was also a man more than 6 ft tall, wearing a brightly luminous headgear likewise of varying colors, whose face could not be seen. The girls ran past the object & the beings, but soon found it had landed in front of them again, though the beings were not now to be seen. They had to run past it again. Arrived home, they went back with the mother of the Da Silva girls, but met the object flying toward them, 18 ft above the ground. The UFO, its luminosity waxing & waning, flew in circles above the house before rising & vanishing.

In a confusing and covered up incident numerous independent witnesses including dozens of schoolchildren and teachers from the local Westall High school watched a metallic disc shaped craft land on nearby field, then take off again, while several Cessna-type aircraft and other silvery "plane-like" objects circled the area. Some witnesses found a perfect circle of flattened grass on the ground while others encountered military or government personnel in the area who warned them to stay away. Some witnesses described seeing a cow in the paddock, where the object came down. It was alleged to have been in such a distressed state that it eventually had to be put down. One student who arrived before the others was found to be in a dazed trance like state. Other schoolchildren saw the object on the ground and a normal looking man in white coveralls walking around it, telling everyone to stay back. Another man appeared, this one wearing a dark uniform with an emblem or a logo on it. One of the men was seeing entering the object, while the other disappeared. The object emitted a loud humming sound then took off.

Six 17-year-old boys & girls in a shelter in the park heard footsteps on the shelter roof. Two boys went out to investigate, and heard a buzzing noise that seemed to surround them; in a field they saw 2 red lights a foot in diameter. Meanwhile those left in the shelter had seen a very tall man, dressed in black, standing outside. They left and started back to their car, when the buzzing was heard again, and they saw 2 blue lights low in the sky, which were joined by a very bright white light. Watching from the car, they continued to hear the sound, and saw "4 things like footballs with domes on them." They drove away---with difficulty, for the engine kept stalling---and were followed by a "hug light" which did not reflect in the rearview mirror.

Dr. Eula Page, a psychologist, was driving homeward from Texas with her 2 children & a friend when she noticed a luminous object as big as the moon, darting back & forth across the highway. Just after she had crossed the Red River Bridge she came directly underneath it, and stopped; it descended & hovered very close to the car. A luminous horizontal lens shaped body, more than twice the length of her station wagon, was surrounded by a spherical framework that was revolving around it. On one side of the disc was a long window through which 4 human occupants were to be seen; one stood regarding her, while the others busied themselves with instruments & controls on the rear wall, on which multicolored lights were flashing. They wore tight-fitting silvery gray uniforms and had slanted "Oriental" eyes. Her daughter said that one was a woman. Standing outside the car, Dr. Page watched the UFO for about 20 minutes. A "force field" around the craft made it difficult for her to breathe, and a hot wind blew from the sphere that smelt "electrical." Finally another car approached, and the UFO quickly moved away toward the river.

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

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

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

Time: afternoon

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

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

They watched as the object, a shiny metallic craft with large black spots or windows, flew very low over their car. Then it was suddenly gone.

A couple had observed a glowing orange ball over a nearby log storing area and had later drove home to prepare for bed. As the husband walked towards the window, he screamed when he saw a man like figure standing in the backyard. It was described as five-1/2 foot tall, dressed in a one-piece suit that glowed with a green light. It wore boots and a belt buckle, and it had an emblem on its chest resembling a crescent moon. It also wore a tight-fitting skullcap over his head. The nose was two simple holes and the mouth was a flat horizontal line. Its eyes were huge and round, glowing with a greenish red light that varied in intensity. Both witnesses fell in a trance like state looking at the entity and could not take their eyes off of him. The figure finally turned and walked towards the log storing area, moving as if it were floating, covering 15 to 20 feet in a single stride.

The seven or eight year old witness was in his bedroom, sitting on the floor watching television, (he does not remember if there was somebody else in the room) when he looked up and saw a creature standing on the outer edge of the window sill, leaning against the embrasure, looking directly at the witness. He described the creature as small, about 3 ft tall, winged, (it apparently had two small wings on its back), with a rather child like or rather pixie like face, almost feminine in appearance. Stunned he turned his face and then turned back to see that the creature was gone. The witness got up and closed the shades to his window.

The witness was sleeping alone in her apartment when she was suddenly awakened by three beings that appeared in her bedroom. There were two men and one woman, human like with bright fluorescent skin. The woman had long red hair and violet eyes. They communicated telepathically with the witness and told her to follow them. She was floated out the window into a hovering "spacecraft." She was then placed in a "mind probe" chamber and the witness was examined with a glass like cylinder that came down from the ceiling and covered her. Somehow the witness resisted their mind "probing" and next found herself back in her apartment.

From a square hatchway, two 5 ft tall, slender occupants emerged, who had "large heads" (perhaps wearing helmets) and who walked about, apparently talking to each other, and examined some bicycles. Then they returned to the craft & took off. She watched for about 30 minutes in all.

The 3 Johnson children, Bobby Dale, 11, Christina, 10, and Gale, 8, were playing in their yard at dusk when they saw a luminous object approach and hover between the house and the barn. It bore 2 red lights and had a transparent "glass" dome on top. A door "as big as 2 barn doors" opened in the upper part, and a beam of light was emitted toward Connersville. The lights of the city appeared to brighten when the beam struck them. Then the beam was "retracted" again, & the children saw a large dark object, they thought a car, rising in the beam & entering the UFO, as if pulled by the beam; the door closed on it. After this Christina saw 2 humanoid beings looking out of the dome; she described them as having scaly skin, red eyes, and wearing masks of some kind on their "pointed" faces. Visible by a yellowish light from inside the UFO, they seemed to be "pushing buttons." Christina ran for the house. Their cat fell out of a tree, and fell again while running away; it came back only the next day. The UFO moved slowly, emitting a high-pitched sound, then suddenly disappeared.

He had intercourse with her, and then escorted her out of the ship, but she accidentally tripped over some kind of switch, causing a flash that burned her ankles. She passed out and then found herself lying in the field. When she returned to her friend's house she found that she had been gone for several hours. Later she was found to be pregnant.

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

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

Then in the doorway between the boy's room and her bedroom she saw a glowing white bright orange globe floating about 4 ft above the floor. It appeared to be so hot that it was almost totally white. Slowly she sat up. The object emitted a low hum and when she sat up, it conveyed a mental threat of electrocution if she moved any more (!). She felt it scan her children with beams that she did not consciously saw. Two of the boys were in the room it was in and it scanned her pregnant belly, then a child in another room.

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

Manuel Pereira, 15 and Jose Sotuyo, 14 were walking along a path high in the mountains when they saw strange lights maneuvering in the sky. Manuel frantically signaled the UFO with his flashlight, using International Morse Code he sent the following message:

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

The red ball flew 75-100 ft over Jane's head; it was oval, and its underside was shiny like aluminum foil; it was "bigger than my cottage and yard combined." She also smelled the garbage like odor. Mrs Steward went to bed, the odor still in the house. After some time, the room was filled for an instant with brilliant white light; then this vanished, and a globe of light about 21" in diameter appeared at the foot of her bed. Inside this globe were 5 "non-human, hairless heads" with oval, sunken eyes. "Instead of noses, there were slits, and they had no mouths." Telepathically, they repeated several times "We have made contact." Mrs Steward screamed, and the globe disappeared. She was so disquieted by the experience that she was under psychiatric care for the next 2 years.

Between 2010 and 2045, a number of people in Turku and Tarvasjoki reported having heard mysterious voices in the air at the same time as some observed a "mysterious light phenomenon" in the sky. Two women who compared them to the sound of cranes heard voices in Tarvasjoki at 2010. A student in Turku heard "odd speech sounds" coming from the air on a deserted street at 2030. They appeared to be in "a strange language." About the same time a woman on Eastern Coast Street observed a "light phenomenon" near the Polar Star while similar aerial voices were heard. At 2045 a man on another street heard voices "speaking from the sky" but was unable to make out the words.

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

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

The object had a profile similar to a kerosene lamp chimney flattened on the bottom side. A door opened and a smiling man of dark complexion descended, who wore a topcoat over shiny blue trousers. Without opening his mouth, he addressed Derenberger telepathically, asking him to open his window. For the next 10 minutes he conducted a telepathic conversation, first asking Derenberger's name & saying that his own was " Indrid Cold." He adjured Derenberger not to think of him as an "alien," and concluded by saying "We will see you again." After admitting Mr. Cold, the UFO rose vertically and disappeared.

The object was completely silent and the witness was unable to move as two men descended from the object and walked towards her. The men were normal looking but heavily tanned with pointed noses, pointed chins, and high cheekbones, they wore coverall like uniforms. They asked the witness several mundane questions using a singsong high-pitched voice; they then walked back to their craft, which took off at high speed.

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

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

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

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