1954 Humanoid Reports. Focus in France.
The unprecedented and until possibly 1973 unduplicated wave of humanoid reports
took place throughout France and some parts of Italy. Other reports came in
from England, US, Germany, Canada & other European countries but at a much
lesser extent. Towards the end of the year the focus seemed to shift to Venezuela
& Brazil. Whatever the case it was indeed a memorable year. Following is a
list of known Humanoid reports for the year 1954.
1.
Location. Near Ann Arbor Michigan
Date: 1954
Time: unknown
After contacting supposed
extraterrestrials on short wave radio, Richard Miller was instructed to go to
an isolated location near the city. After 15 minutes a disc shaped object
appeared and landed nearby. A doorway opened in the base of the vehicle and a
staircase descended. He then saw at the head of the stairway a young man
dressed in a brown one-piece outfit. He beckoned Miller to enter the object,
which he did. He found himself standing in a large circular hallway, which
seemed to encircle the whole craft. The young man radiated of friendliness,
which put Miller at ease. Miller was then taken to a control room where he met
the "alien" commander, Soltec that greeted him in perfect English. He
was then given a message of love for the human race & told that we were not
ready for contact.

The witness was alone in her house when
she encountered, standing in the passage on the landing in front of her, a man
over six-foot tall. He wore a metallic blue siren type suit that was
glimmering. She stood looking at the entity and he looked at her without a word
being spoken. The entity had a very high forehead, a slit for a mouth, large
eyes, and high cheekbones. He also had a large pointed chin and his eyes were
deep blue in color. He wore a very tight fitting helmet made out of a
translucent material; his skin appeared to be pink. After a brief moment he
suddenly vanished in plain sight.

Air Marshal Sir Peter Horsley reported
that a certain General Martin invited him to the apartment of a Mrs Markham.
There he met an apparent extraterrestrial of humanoid appearance, pale, with
penetrating eyes and not totally human, which called himself "Mr.
Janus." Fixing the Marshal with a steely gaze, the "alien"
talked for hours about traveling in space and time. On a return visit, Horsley
found the apartment empty.

The young witness was coming back from a
visit to the outhouse when the family dog started whining and looking up to a
nearby hill. The witness looked up and saw a large flat object with three
yellow-lighted windows, hovering low above the hill. The object was emitting a
humming noise. Suddenly a human face appeared on one of the windows and
apparently looked at the witness. The object then moved slowly away and
disappeared over the hill.

Time: night
A couple living in a farm had been
seeing mysterious maneuvering lights over the area for several nights in a row,
then one night as they were watching television in their living room a foggy
white beam of light shot through one of the windows. They then noticed, looking
in the window the face of a man who appeared to be of a dark complexion. He was
estimated to have been only about four-foot tall, judging by the height of the
window. The beam of light seemed to emanate from the entity's face. The
witnesses approached the window several times but each time they did the face
would disappear.

Several witnesses were passing by the
airfield in a vehicle when they observed a shiny disc shaped craft resting on
the ground. In order to get a closer look they exited their vehicle and
approached the object. The craft was smooth and silvery and there appeared to
be no one around the object. The witnesses then decided to get even closer to
the object when suddenly a man appeared and stepped in front of them. He raised
his arm and threw what appeared to be a fireball at them. The fireball passed
by them and struck their vehicle. The witnesses immediately fled the area,
driving to the nearest police station. The being was described as tall, man
like and wearing some sort of half mask on his face, apparently metallic. The
fireball reportedly dented the side of the vehicle and burned the paint.

The witness was driving his vehicle when
he was suddenly overcome by a strong state of lethargy and pulled over to the
side of the road. Moments later not far ahead on the road he saw a group of men
clad in coveralls with wide belts, gathered around a brightly lit object.
Before he knew what was happening several tall longhaired men were escorting
him towards the object. He felt a slight buzzing sound as he entered the craft.
The witness was given a detailed tour of the object and shown a screen on the
vehicle's walls where he was able to review the smallest detail of his life. He
was then given a ride and apparently was able to see the earth through a
porthole on the object. The longhaired aliens die not mentioned their planet of
origin.

While pushing her son in a baby carriage
across the bridge over the River Save, Mrs Jandot observed a motorcyclist
staring into the sky. Going a few feet further, and seeing no change in his
concentration at something above, she too looked upwards and, a short way off
over a grove of poplars, just above the river; she saw a motionless, silent
object of oval form and metallic appearance. A little cone at the rear ejected
a white smoke; inside the object she was able to see two human heads, "heads
like you and me." She thought it was perhaps 4 meters across. The heads
were seen presumably through transparent ports or windows, although this is not
stated. After a short period of time, the object departed at a vertiginous
speed in the direction of Toulouse. There were two other persons on or near the
bridge who had also stopped to watch, and whom Mrs Jandot knew. Curiously, not
one of the four witnesses acknowledged to any other having sighted such a
strange spectacle; rather they all continued on their way as if nothing unusual
had just occurred.

An anonymous working man returning home
on his scooter was attracted by a large white light, about 30 meters in width and
about 200 meters
away from the witness. He stopped the scooter and propped it up against a tree
and decided to investigate what the light was. As he approached the light he
noticed that it was a disc shaped craft with a large dome on the top. Suddenly
an opening on the center part of the dome and a ladder was lowered to the
ground. Two figures then descended to the ground. These were kind of hard to
distinguish since the light from the object was still very bright. They seemed
to be wearing tight fitting diver suits that covered their bodies except for
the head. They stood around and appeared to converse amongst each other, soon
they noticed the stunned witness and walked towards him. Paralyzed with fear the
witness could not move and could only stare at the beings. He described them as
about 1.40 meters
in height, with large pear shaped heads, with large slanted eyes and pointed
chins. Their outfits were luminous and very tight fitting, revealing parts of
their anatomy, which was human-like. One of the beings then spoke in perfect
Italian, telling the witness not to be afraid that they were friendly in nature
and would not do him any harm. He then imparted an anti nuclear war message and
one of peace. Moments later both figures climbed back inside the object. The
witness then heard a loud whistling sound and the craft became white-blue and
then bright red in color. It rose up vertically and disappeared at great speed
into the sky. According to the witness at the site where the object had landed
he found a scorched area of about 30 meters in circumference.

Bill Sheehan and four school-friends
were sledding when they saw a bright star-like object approaching from the
west. It grew closer until it was visible as a flying saucer with pulsating
lights round its scalloped edge. The lights were alternating blue-green and
red. The disc moved directly over the witnesses, who were huddled together on
the ground. A blinding light enveloped them, causing a tingling sensation.
Under hypnosis, Sheehan recalled communicating with the UFO entities, though he
did not see them. About one hour of "missing time" was never accounted
for.

Wakened by a motor like sound, John
Fante saw a 100-foot ball of luminous blue haze about 300 yards away. From it
emerged small human figures "which made their way down an iridescent
funnel from the crest of Pt Dume to the ocean." Going to the cliff edge,
he saw that this "conveyor belt---no more than 24" tall---entered the
ship's hold and emerged carrying bright cylindrical objects," with which
they returned to the ball." There must have bee 5000 of these grotesque
creatures." Then the ball gave a muffled roar and rose, and the ship
sailed away. At the site where the ball had rested, Fante found one of the
silvery cylinders. Breaking it open, he found in it 2 lb of coffee.

Walking along the coast near
Lossiemouth, Cedric Allingham heard a swishing sound, and looking up, saw
through binoculars a flying saucer only slightly different from Adamski's. 3
hours later he heard and saw it again, coming in for a landing 50 yards away. "The
whole metallic body, seemed to glow faintly," but was not translucent; it
was 50 ft
wide and 20 ft
high, resembling polished aluminum. A 6 ft man with a deep tan skin and a high
forehead got out. His garment covered him from neck to toes---he wore no shoes.
In each nostril was a tiny tube. When Allingham drew planetary orbits, he
nodded when Mars was pointed out, and repeated "Mars." In further
exchanges he verified Allingham's suggestions that the Martian canals consist
of a central string of water surrounded by vegetation. Allingham touched and
photographed the saucer and also photographed the pilot, from a side rear
angle; these photos are reproduced in his book. A slight humming marked the
take off of the saucer. The interview had lasted ½ hour.

Mrs J and her daughter went outside to
investigate a metallic droning sound, and saw an object passing overhead at low
altitude, at 5 mph
or less. It came to a stop, the noise subsiding, over a tree only 15 ft away. It was aluminum
colored & resembled a rowboat, bout 20 ft long & 10 ft wide; on top was a
transparent dome. Inside this dome 5 seated men were visible facing the
witnesses. They had "rather long faces," dark eyes & hair, and
dull olive complexions, and wore neutral colored uniforms & helmets. They
stared at the witnesses; one in particular gave Mrs J the impression of "a
cold scientific mind dissecting me." These men looked at them for a full
minute, and then leant back in their seats; the drone began again and the
object moved off toward the NE at about 35 mph .

Monsieur B was walking home when he came
upon a brightly luminous object standing on or hovering over the ground, only 10 meters away; a
discoidal craft 5 meters
in diameter, the upper part more curved, and with a small dome. Beside it stood
a slender man 5"2' tall, wearing a luminous tight fitting one piece suit
including the head. When he turned toward Mr. B he was seen to have a veil in
front of his face. He spoke some words to a second being, shorter 4'9" and
with a larger head, who wore a similar garb. On his abdomen this 2nd entity
wore a sort of flashlight, from which a beam of white light was turned on B,
paralyzing him. Then this 2nd entity raised his veil, revealing a grin on his
face that exposed all his teeth. His forehead was high, the chin & nose
pronounced, the lips very thin, and the complexion dark. The eyes were white,
showing no iris or pupil, and exuded a large brown tear. The being made
beckoning gestures; then both walked to the craft, got onto it, and vanished
into it. B heard a metallic noise, then lost consciousness. When he came to
himself, the machine was 10
meters above the ground, 50-70 meters away, and was
spinning, making a faint noise. Its shape now differed, showing 2 illuminated
portholes on a bulge. There was an "indefinable" smell. After a
bright flash of light, the object became gold-colored; it rose in a spiral, the
moved off leaving a trail of sparks. The next day B found flattened greenery at
the site.

A ten-year old was returning home after
school and had taken a short cut through a wooded area when she came upon a
dull silvery metallic object sitting on the ground. It was smooth and was
disc-shaped. Six feet to the left of the object stood a figure completely
covered in silver; it had its back to the witness and was very thin and never
moved. Both the figure and the object suddenly vanished into thin air.

Several days after Osmo Liene and his
brother Esko had seen a large disc shaped object that flew lover over a road
over them knocking them down and covering them with a white sandy quartz like
substance, Osmo suddenly woke up after hearing steps and voices talking in an
unknown language approaching the front porch of his house. Osmo ran to the
front door in order to confront the intruders when the door was suddenly yanked
open. Three men then entered the house. All were described as somewhat shorter
than humans and having oriental eyes. The leader seemed to be a young man of
about 19 years of age, who asked Osmo if he was the "young boy who built
radios." Osmo said yes and then the stranger marched into his room and
explored Osmo's radios. During the whole episode Osmo's family remained
sleeping. The younger of the men approached Osmo's father and looked down on
him with a benevolent expression. The second intruder looked to be about 35
years old and was carrying a bag. This man sat on the table in the living room
and told Osmo to sit on the end of the table. A small TV-set like device was
then produced; it had a monitor and a peg on top. The man lifted the device to
the table in front of him. The third man appeared to be the eldest, seemed to
be about 45-50 years old stood next to the window looking out, apparently
standing guard. Suddenly big drops of sweat began rolling down his face as if
he was feeling ill. Osmo suggested some water, but was told, "It was the
air they were breathing, that it will soon pass." Osmo tried to turn the
lights on but was forbidden by the strangers. Osmo was told to sit on the table
and an "interview" ensued. The 35-year-old man after each questing
would crank the peg on the TV-like device and an image would appear on it
apparently showing Osmo in apparently future scenes and situations. He was
shown images of his future life all the way up "to the end." At one
point Osmo attempting to touch the peg himself but was angrily reprimanded.
Osmo noticed that he was able to understand what the men spoke if he looked
directly at them, but if he turned his head he could only hear a murmur like
sound. The men then conducted an "experiment" on Osmo, which felt
like some type of electric shock and he soon fell into a state of ecstasy. He
was then apparently interviewed in length. The men eventually left out the
front door.

Two weeks later Osmo woke up to a yellow
light in his room. He then saw a very friendly elder man standing next to the
bed waiting for him to get up. Also the previous visitors were also present.
The eldest seemed to be their leader. Osmo was requested to sit beside the
table and to be interviewed again. One of the men had the same TV-set like
device in his hand. The elder man apparently began asking the same questions as
before. During the interview the other men began performing other chores around
the house. One carried a bottle-sized cylinder, apparently a medical device.
The elder man apparently instructed the others in how to use this device. The
men apparently lifted Osmo's still sleeping father up and a strange headphone
device placed on his head, next was Osmo's brother and then his mother. Osmo
was apparently allowed to use the TV-like device and the cylinder before the
men departed. They all shook hands with Osmo and left.

Rubem Hellwig, a rice planter, was
driving home when he noticed a strange object some 50 meters away. It was
about the size of a Volkswagen and was shaped like a rugby football. A man of
slim build and brownish complexion, about 5'2" tall, was seated in it, and
another outside was picking capon grass and handling it in to him. This man
came over to Hellwig, carrying a bottle of reddish liquid, and asked where he
could get a small quantity of ammonia that he needed. This request was made in
an unknown tongue, yet Hellwig understood it. He directed him to the drugstore
in a nearby town. The man thanked him and returned to the craft. A circle of
bluish yellow luminosity appeared around it, "making it appear
round," and from each side of the cabin protruded 4 3" tubes; a
yellowish flame shot out through these tubes, and the vessel vanished
instantly.

The next day, soon after starting,
Hellwig encountered the same or a similar machine, sitting on the highway. This
time it contained a tall fair complexioned man and two women with slanting eyes
and long black hair. All 3 were dressed alike, in one-piece brown garments
resembling suede leather, with a zipper type closure. They called to Hellwig,
and an extensive conversation ensued, the beings using their own language
(which has no more than 15 letters, and sounds musical) together with
telepathy. He was invited to view the craft, which was less than 10 ft long and transparent in
front. Source gives details of its construction and propulsion. Those people
come from a planet 'Arion" which is "far beyond the farthest star known
to our world," and is ruled by a monarchy. When the UFO departed, there
was only a slight breeze, no sound. Some time after this experience, Hellwig
'began to experience mental phenomena which, so far, medicine has been unable
either to explain or cure."

After seeing mysterious lights descend
over the area the five witnesses drove to an isolated area near some power
lines and soon they saw a white glowing ball of light gliding down wobbling and
apparently going into a clump of nearby trees. The light then approached their
vehicle, moments later the white globe of light passed in front of the car. At
that same moment one of the witnesses saw a tall, well-built, broad shouldered
man standing at the same spot where the globe of light had been seen. The
figure was encased in a glowing white light. It suddenly disappeared in plain

Emelino Martinez was walking back from
his hunting trip in the hills outside of the city when there was a sudden
movement in the bushes nearby. Martinez stopped, motionless, shotgun in the
ready, when the thrashing noise sounded again. He waited briefly then resumed
his walk toward his parked automobile. Suddenly he heard a blood curling
guttural noise. Terrified he dropped his day's catch and ran for his car,
parked in a nearby clearing. An unintelligible shout behind him indicated that
whatever creature it was, it was close to him. He stopped for an instant to
glance back toward his pursuer. He then saw two bizarre creatures running after
him. They were short, and looked like a half man, half monkey. They were
covered with dark hair. Martinez reached the car fumbling with his pockets for
the keys. He dropped the keys and picked them up and attempted to open the car.
He was then suddenly grabbed from behind. He fell together with his assailant
into a ditch besides the road. He dropped his shotgun as two powerful arms
closed over his throat. He managed to bake free and scrambled towards the car.
The creature jumped on top of him, screaming, growling, and biting like a mad
animal. He could not reach his shotgun, so he grabbed a large rock and repeatedly
smashed his attacker on the head. Screams of pain slashed through the dark
night. Martinez saw his attacker move backward, blood spurting from his head
wounds. He then dashed to his car. He snapped the door locked as the two
creatures lunged against the car, pounding their hairy fists against the
windows in frustrated rage. He managed to start the car and drove away at very
high speed directly to the police station. The next day, Martinez and some
friends returned to the site and recovered his shotgun they also found some
blood stained leaves. They questioned locals and were told that strange disc
shaped objects had been seen in the area and that; cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs,
and two young farmhands had disappeared on the mountain. The farmers have also
seen black, bristly haired dwarfs that hid in caves and kidnapped both
livestock and humans. Martinez never returned to the area to hunt again.

Carlos & Anita Jimenez had just
returned home from shopping on a clear sunny Sunday afternoon. Carlos unlocked
the outside door and both carried their groceries into the kitchen, and while
they were stocking the cupboards, Anita heard a noise upstairs. She went to the
foot of the courtyard stairs to listen again and sounds resembling soft
footsteps. Both, with Carlos in the lead, went upstairs to check. They examined
all three bedrooms on the floor and there was no sign of any intruders. As they
walked past their own bedroom, Anita had a strong feeling that someone was in
there. She grabbed her husband's arm and both waited for almost a minute. And
then they heard the soft footsteps inside the bedroom. Together they rushed
through the open doorway. They stopped short, gaping in astonishment. Standing
on the other side of the bed was a beautiful young woman. She looked shocked at
first, and then her expression was a blend of frustration and dismay. Anita
described the intruder as about 5-feet six inches tall and slender, with a
honey gold tan and an exuberant mass of curling and wavy auburn hair. She had
golden hoop earrings and sandals to match. And she wore skimpy attire. Anita
described it as an "avocado green French swimsuit" and a bolero
jacket of the same color with elbow-length sleeves. The intruder had what
looked like a white plastic cast on her left forearm. Surprise both asked the
intruder who she was and what was she doing in their house. The intruder looked
at them for a long moment, and then relied in halting Spanish, "My name if
Jelu, I am not from here." The she lifted her left forearm. The Jimenez
couple saw twinkling multicolored lights along its length. The woman began
tapping it as if were a typewriter. Instantly a wall of fine red mist appeared
between them and the intruder. Ignoring the witnesses shouts of surprise,
"Jelu" turned and faced the stucco wall behind the bed. She began
tapping her thick plastic wrist device again. Carlos rounded the bed in an
attempt to detain her. But as his fingers made contact with the mist, he let
out a scream and tumbled to the carpet. Anita rushed to her husband's side.
White faced and gasping, Carlos tenderly cradled his stricken hand. His fingers
and thumb were covered with small red blisters. Suddenly a circle of golden
light appeared on the wall, as it there was a hand held flashlight on the other
side. The light circle swiftly grew until it reached from the floor to the
ceiling. The light was soft and resembled "oil floating on water."
The intruder stepped into the light and vanished. The red mist disappeared as
well. As Anita pushed open the latticework shutters, she was surprise to see
the intruder meters down the street, heading north towards La Compania church.
In disbelief Anita realized that the woman had only left 20 seconds ago, and if
not for her towering auburn style hair, she never would have seen her, for the
intruder was now wearing typical Andean clothes. Both attempted to chase the
strange woman but she was seen to hail a local cab and disappear from sight.
The police was notified of the incident.

The young witness was sitting with his
goat on a small hill near the village when he heard a whistling sound. He ran
towards the direction of the sound, which was from a nearby hollow. He then
observed a dome shaped object leaving the area headed towards a nearby river,
but on the ground rested an identical object. It was a metallic dome shaped
craft with a metallic ring on the bottom and a transparent section on top. It
had a conical protrusion, brown in color, on top. As the object left the witness
felt a heat wave. Inside the second object he could see two beings with large
heads and large eyes, wide apart, both appeared to have antennae on top of
their heads, the mouth appeared to be a round hole. They also wore metallic

Commander H R Penrose was driving homeward
from Derby to Burton when a bright light appeared ahead, heading towards him.
As it reached his position he experienced a crash and he was thrown forward
against the windshield. Then the car seemed to be lifted from the ground, and
he was moving through the air with a bright light above him. The car came to
rest atop some iron railings, and he was lifted from it by a man in a one piece
suit, who effortlessly lifted him into an entrance on the underside of a large
round object which was hovering above, giving out a bright light. He was taken
into a room, which had controls in it, operated by men and women in one piece
suits. They questioned him (telepathically, he thinks) about his naval
experiences and his work with radar. Then a woman injected some green fluid
into his arm, after which he remembered no more. He was found, suffering from
concussion, in his car atop some iron railings it had knocked down, and was
taken to a hospital. After his recovery he revisited the spot and succeeded in
finding a railway signalman who said he had seen a car, with an extremely
bright light above it, go past his signal box. Hypnotic regression was planned.

Harold Carpenter, an employee at a local
state, over a period of several weeks had kept hearing a very loud, deep
humming noise, which lasted for about two or three minutes. The noise always
seemed to occur between four and five o'clock in the morning. One morning, very
curious, Carpenter rose from his bed, quickly got dressed and quietly stepped
outdoors. With the humming noise still audible, and seeming to emanate from the
southwest, Harold set off to walk to a wooded area known locally as Sunny
Calvert. Determined to track down the source of the humming noise, and having
come this far Harold clambered down a deep slope to where the sound seemed to
be coming from. Harold peered down and was shocked to see a strange looking
device. It resembled a mushroom without a stem. The object was gray in color
and seemed to be hovering about eight to ten feet above the ground. Harold came
to a vantage point amongst the trees where he could actually see the underside
of the craft. It was definitely hovering above the ground. It was about 15 to 20 ft in diameter across the
base, which housed what looked like a lip on the inside bottom. Even more
startling was the sight of up to five "peculiar looking beings"
gathered underneath the craft on the surface below. The beings were about four
to five feet tall, and carrying what looked like "pound jam jars"
with a handle in one hand and an implement resembling a pair of tweezers in the
other. The beings used these to pick up bits of twigs and leaves before placing
them in the clear glass looking jars. As the beings wandered around picking up
various samples, all kept very close to the craft, which hovered silently
above. The humming sound had now stopped. All wore the same one-piece gray;
flexible looking suits that stretched over their feet. It also covered their heads
much like a Balaclava. Their faces were exposed and Harold could see that these
were human like but totally expressionless, with normal human like eyes. If
they had any ears, the one-piece suit hid them from view. They had a snout-like
nose, resembling that of a "pig." Their mouths were similar to
humans, and so were their hands, until Harold noticed they didn't appear to
have thumbs. While observing in fascination, Harold had inch closer and closer,
until he suddenly realized that he was only to within 10 ft of the craft. At this
moment one of the beings suddenly looked up and with the same expressionless
face, stared directly at him. Without so much as a sound or movement, it
somehow alerted the others to Harold's presence, for the rest suddenly stopped
what they were doing and slowly began to retreat to the craft, which had
descended to hover barely two feet of the ground. One by one the beings
disappeared underneath the craft by means of its lip. The craft then began to
rise, at which point Harold saw one of the beings climb through a type of
"gate" housed on the inside of the lip which then closed. The craft
slowly continued to climb, moving slightly to one side towards a clearing among
the trees. It gradually gained altitude and speed. It suddenly emitted a flash
of light and departed at incredible speed.

turned watching her. She approached and climbed four "stairs" which
led to an open rectangular door. Inside she met four more beings standing with
their backs to her. The room had a cylindrical pillar in the center. The four
beings inside were shorter than the one she saw outside. The taller figure wore
a close fitting suit, the lower half light red and surrounded in mist and the
upper half intensive red. He also wore a cap and appeared to have a hump on his

Walking across the Eli golf course
searching for mushrooms, Larry White encountered a landed UFO with two human
occupants standing along side it. They were dressed in metallic colored
snowsuits. They conversed with White in English with a foreign accent. They
told him they learned languages by means of computerized analysis of basic
sounds, "formed into a type of universal graph or code." They would
intervene and "take over" in the event of an atomic war, but would
take nothing from us by conquest. They asked White if he wanted to visit their
home planet; he demurred, not wishing to end up as a "human guinea pig in
a laboratory." The object was round and saucer shaped, with a glass like
tube or ring around the perimeter, through which moved an expanding and
contracting coil. The object "was powered by an electro magnetic turbine
which takes its power from the elements around it." The beings took some
ground samples and then departed. Next day, White saw police officers examining
a ring of burnt soil four feet wide and 14 feet in diameter at the site. The local

hide behind a coppice of young oaks, in which they hide lying on the ground. There
was a strange quiet in the area, even the birds were silent. Slowly the object
began to descend until it remained about 1 meter above the ground.
The object was silvery in color, smooth, with several small windows around its
circumference. On top it had what appeared to be a glass-like cupola. Suddenly
three small humanoids appeared outside the object, no one sees them coming out
of it. They resembled dwarfs and are about 1.20 m in height, wearing

of it. It was about 30 ft
in diameter and a total of 16

portholes. It made a humming sound like a transformer. A man not more than 5 ft tall stood near it; he
wore a transparent suit, apparently made of plastic, with black clothing
beneath it, and a dark gray helmet that rested on his shoulders. On his back, beneath
the suit, was something that gave him a humped appearance; on his chest was a
small shiny black box. Moving heavily, he walked about near the saucer. Raymond
R took 7 photographs, only 4, which came, out well. The man returned to the UFO
through a door at its base; then two others came out, in the same costume. One
of them carried a sort of pistol with funnel shaped barrel, the other a white
ball as large as 2 fists. They went to the place where the first man had been,
turned their backs, and did something that produced a blue luminous smoke. At

a beam swept the area where he was running. Some 20 seconds later, with a loud

his head, "freezing" his body with cold where it passed. Then it
stopped, and 3 figures materialized from the mist at the bed's foot, and then
moved up to him, 2 on one side, 1 on the other, and bent over him. He felt they
were going to help him, to "make me at ease with myself." They were
dressed in black, or dark, robes like a monk's habit; he could not see their
faces, and cannot describe their hands. He tried to speak to them, but they did
not answer. He has no memory of their departure. The next day he felt well
again. The rabbits were shortly afterwards taken from him by the orphanage.

followed by a flying saucer; it came down to hover only 3 or 4 feet from them. It was
round, about 10 ft
in diameter, and the bottom was "black, trimmed with yellow spots which
could have been glass, and with a number of small, red jags." The upper
part was transparent, and a man operating controls was visible inside. He was
wearing black trousers, a black jacket, and immense red goggles over his eyes;
he looked at one of the girls. Then the craft rose, colliding with a
high-tension line with a shower of sparks, and the girls ran away. They noticed
a smell "like fried sausages." A "streak," apparently left

The humanoid was about four or five ft from him and was facing him. Its body
resembled, vaguely that of a human. From the waist up it was a man and from the
waist down that of a woman. Its flesh stinking putrid, seemed to hang in folds.
It was grayish color. The slack mouth was dribbling, its lips moved but there
was no sound. Stuart heard a telepathic message, "Your friend knew too
much and had to be silenced." Soon the creature seemed to waver and grow
less distinct; then materialized again into solidity. Stuart almost collapsed
in horror as he realized that the male & female areas of its body had
changed places. He received one more warning before the creature dissolved and

opened the door to the diner his eyes fell upon a young man sitting alone at a
center table. Their eyes met in an intense gaze and an inner communication
seemed to have passed between them as if they had known each other from before.
"Hello friend" said Orfeo, "Hello Orfeo" replied the young
stranger. The strange told Orfeo to call him Adam. The strange had ordered
dinner for two and Orfeo observed that there were three glasses of water. Adam
appeared puzzled when Orfeo pointed at the glass and asked him if he expected
anyone else. Offered a bottle of beer, Orfeo declined, preferring water. In
response his new friend smiled and produced an "oyster white pellet"
from a pocket. Orfeo was offered this "pill" which he dropped it into
his glass of water, which bubbled, assumed a pale amber color, and effused an
exhilarating aroma. After tasting the elixir Orfeo somehow felt transported
into "some radiant star system." At one point Orfeo heard music
emanating from the glass and saw what appeared to be a miniature young woman
dancing in the nectar. She possessed golden blond hair. Her arms moved in
rhythmic motion with the graceful thrusts of her dancing body. The expression
on her face was that of bliss and "eternity among the angels."

Wong Yi Moi, a young Chinese girl had
been tapping rubber trees near the edge of a large estate not far from the
Trolak River when suddenly she heard a rustle in the grass behind her---before
she could turn, she was seized by powerful arms, which were covered with dense,
black hair. Struggling, she managed to look over her shoulder and found herself
staring into a face that was straight out of a nightmare, with two long,
blackened fangs jutting out from between thick lips. In a frenzy of horror, she
saw two more ape-like creatures standing by the edge of the forest. Their skin
appeared to be white beneath its covering of black hair, and their faces were
distorted by fearsome grins. The two creatures by the trees were over six feet
in height, and wore loincloths. Each carried a knife slung from the waist. The
creature struggling with Wong Yi appeared to be a female. She wore a yellowish
skirt made of bark and uttered weird, croaking cries. Finding additional
strength the young Chinese girl succeeded in tearing herself free. As she fled,
she snatched one terrified glance over her shoulder, but the creatures were
moving away back into the forest. Two other people had also spotted the
"fang men" along the banks of the Trolak River within hours of Wong
Yi Moi's experience. The first was a corporal in the Malaya Police, Abdul
Talib, who had been on patrol with a security detachment. On seeing the three
weird creatures on the opposite bank of the river, the corporal raised his
rifle and all three-ape creatures dived into the river and swam out of sight.
The second witness was an Indian rubber tapper named Appiasamy. Hairy arms too
had grabbed him from behind. Breaking free he had run for his life only to fall
headlong down a rocky slope, bruising himself badly.
