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.

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.

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.

A "man" that used to be a
boarder in her house awakened the witness one night. He blindfolded her and
told her to follow him. He drove her for miles before stopping; she was then
taken inside a landed object. Inside she saw a type of laboratory and several
humanoids wearing long dark cloaks and hoods, with shadowy facial features. She
was examined on a table and told that she would not be "useful" for
their purposes, since she has had an operation that prevented her form having
offspring.

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.

Because of his high clearance, Air Force
Sergeant Bill Holden was assigned to top-secret flights and special air
missions. On trip took him to the above location on a mission called Project
Mercury. It consisted of Air Force officers and civilian scientists. Although
ordered to remain at a distance Holden said he could see a vehicle shaped like
a saucer and parked on three legs. And to his surprise he said he also saw two
aliens wearing silver/gray metallic coverall uniforms. Before the mission he
had to sign a 20-year non-disclosure statement and was asked if he objected to
being involved in other similar projects.

minutes he noticed a huge shadow moving back and forth across the pond. 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

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.

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

an upside down dish, 9-12 ft
wide, with 2 large "headlights." 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

scintillating multi-petal "daisy" that appeared to be moving and
emitting flashes of light. The humanoid said his name was "Nicodemo"
and that he was an extraterrestrial that could materialize into a tangible body
whenever he needed to. The helmet had a transparent visor and inside Gasbarri
could see an "anatomically diverse" human face with glowing red eyes.
The humanoid suddenly disappeared. After this encounter the witness would go

pit, but the last one in lien was stopped by a strange odor. He could not

was giving off this odor and he had the feeling he was to follow this gliding
form. He broke away and ran back to the car. He told a person there to call the

antenna, on one end a horizontal "tail" and near the middle a
porthole. Near the tail end was a vertical inscription reading "TL 4168 or

Air Force uniform, with peaked cap, and a chevron insignia resembling that of a
master sergeant. Laxson got out & ran toward the object, then turned back

A soldier at the local military base
observed two little figures crossing a nearby highway and disappearing in a
grove of date palms. They were 65
cm tall, humanoid in form but with pronounced stomach
and buttocks, short legs and very long arms. Their heads were shaped like
inverted pears, and they wore what appeared to be goggles of a phosphorescent
yellow color. The figures appeared to be unclothed and green in color; no
sexual organs could be discerned. The soldier was in a state of panic and
nervous excitement as a result of his observation. The figures were similar to
the one reported at San Feliu de Codines in September 1967.

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.

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

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

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.

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

emitted toward Connersville. The lights of the city appeared to brighten when
the beam struck them. Then the beam was "retracted" again, & the

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

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

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

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

Manuel Pereira and Jose Sotuyo vanished from their homes about a week before

often landing and leaving behind imprints in the muskeg and grass. In addition,
the teacher had been told of the "little people" often associated
with these objects. These "people" were about a meter in height,
dark-skinned, and wore close fitting dark coveralls suits with hoods. They
carried a rod that gave off a beam of light, and they often "poked

of some of these "aliens" trying to snatch children in their sleep,

Mrs Everett Steward was talking on the

oval shaped object with portholes & red, green, & white lights
revolving around it. It was 75

that it had square windows glowing yellow. Janet went outdoors & saw the
UFO eject a red ball, which maneuvered while the first UFO took off southward.
The red ball flew 75-100 ft

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

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

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.

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.

then red and orange lights began flashing on and off. A beam of light seemed to
be constantly directed at the water. Finally the lights went out and a bright
greenish light came on. Then the craft shot up into the air and disappeared into
the sky.

Mrs Elsie Vargo and her daughter,
driving over a newspaper delivery route, saw a low flying object cross the road
about 100 ft
away and at a 100 ft
altitude, then turn toward them, terrifying the girl. It was about the size of
an automobile and bright silver in color with the outer edges glowing red, of a
"batwing" shaped with a bubble cupola on top. It carried an antenna
bearing a flashing red light. Inside the bubble was visible a small human form
dressed and helmeted in black. Mrs Vargo did not see where the object went.
There was no sound, & no interference with the car's radio.

Location. Near Leticia Peru
Date: late 1966
Time: daytime
Ludwig Pallmann a health food sales
representative and expert on nutritional plants was searching the jungles deep
within the rain forest. Near the Mari River his boat paddlers told him the next
district was "very mysterious" and not well known. 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. The strange visitors, that called
themselves, Itibians from the planet Iti-Bara traveled in 30-foot diameter disc
shaped objects, ceramic in appearance. These ascended and descended vertically,
and flew in horizontal flight with prodigious speed.

Location. DMZ Vietnam
Date: late 1966
Time: afternoon
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.

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

"There was no mistake. The leathery
wings, the little horns, the barbed tail
---All were there. The most terrible of
all legends had come to life, out of the unknown past. Yet now it stood
smiling, in ebon majesty, with the sunlight gleaming upon its tremendous body,
and with a human child resting trustfully on either arm."
