1968 Humanoid Reports. 1968 the year we
lost Martin Luther King & Robert Kennedy, the days or rage in Chicago
during the Democratic presidential convention. Nixon came to power. The Tet
offensive in Vietnam. The students of the Prague revolt. But other events
worldwide were occurring behind the scenes. 1968 could be the most overlooked
year as far as UFO and Humanoid high strangeness reports. It was a strange but
important year something did happened behind the scenes, but maybe the scenes
were even more bizarre in nature. We have reached a mountaintop, would we learn
from it? Following is the list of known Humanoid encounters for the year 1968.
1.
Location. Nellis Air Force Base Nevada
Date: 1968
Time: unknown
Military personnel reported watching a
large object hovering above the base for three days consecutive. Three small
objects were seen departing the larger craft and one landed on the base
grounds. A Colonel accompanied by an armed security detachment was sent to meet
the landed craft. While waiting outside the men watched a short stocky humanoid
disembark from the craft. A green beam of light was then aimed at the Colonel
from inside the object causing him to become paralyzed. Orders were then issued
to fire on the object and humanoid but all weapons mysteriously jammed. The
object and humanoid eventually departed into the larger hovering craft. No
other information.

Time: evening
Lyyli Nilsson, had been out fishing with
her 11 year old daughter. The girl left her and went home. As the child came to
a ridge she saw two persons wearing overall like outfits and a bit further up a
brownish bell shaped object. A while later her mother passed the same place and
saw the men who talked between themselves in an unknown language. Hiding about 40 meters from them, she
saw that they were of a Nordic type and wore silvery overall like outfits.
Their craft stood a bit further up on the ridge. When she came home her
daughter confirmed Mrs Nilsson observation.

Time: evening
C W Hickman saw a lighted, oval shaped
object land on 4 legs 40 ft
away. From an opening, unlike a door, emerged 4 women and 2 men; the women 6 ft tall, slender and light
complexioned, with curly hair under 3 inch headbands and dressed in two piece suits
with short skirts and high boots, reassured him as they escorted him back to
their craft. The men remained silent and were of dark complexions, wearing
tight fitting uniforms. He was taken on board the craft into a large central
room, then into a smaller adjoining room where he was compelled to inject some
white powder, after which his clothes were removed. He was sponged with a fluid
while being monitored by a small device like a camera. The ship took off,
arriving at its destination after a short flight. He was taken into an oblong
white building, in a landscape covered with white sand. In the building he saw
complex electronic equipment. He felt no fear, but believes he was heavily
sedated. He believes he may also have been sexually molested. He was then taken
back aboard the craft and returned, after another short trip, to the site where
he had been abducted. He suffered no ill effects upon his return but did
develop pneumonia about 3 weeks later. The signification of the experience
eluded him, although he later reported seeing one of the women in an Austin
Texas supermarket; "Oh, they're right here with us. They are all around
us," he told the investigating reporter.

discovered more disturbing information in this case.

The witness, who had been experiencing
several strange events and other visitations in her home, woke up one night
feeling paralyzed and with difficulty breathing. She then saw grotesque faces
with large, round baldheads, dark slanted eyes, thin lips, no nose, and light
skin. The beings seemed disembodied as they floated in the air. They were only 3 feet tall and were dressed
in shiny suits, which made them shimmer. No sound was heard but her paralysis
lasted half an hour, during which the beings told her telepathically that they
wanted control of her body.

The witness was getting ready to go to
bed and was clothing the bedroom window when she noticed, not 6 ft from the trailer a
"being", Sasquatch in appearance. She told her husband but this one
ignored her. The being suddenly got up, as it had been sitting under a tree and
walked toward the window. He was tall, about 8 to 9 ft tall. The being was
looking directly into her eyes. He was completely covered in light and dark tan
fur, except for its face which was a light tan color, the eyes were large,
dark, dark brown not black as she could see the pupil and slightly protruding
as they seemed to be the most prominent feature. As she started to back away
from the window, it raised its right hand (huge and there were 4 fingers and a
thumb) and she heard in her mind a soft voice saying, "Do not be afraid, I
will not harm you." As she heard this a feeling of peace and calm came
over her and the being smiled and started talking to her...telepathically. Her
next memory was of waking up the next morning sleeping next to her husband and
not remembering what had happened.

The witness was suddenly awakened in the
middle of the night to see a large disc shaped object hovering just outside her
front door. The object had sort of a hypnotic effect on the witness, which
suddenly found herself being pulled from her body and out of the bedroom
window. She then found herself in a garden adorned with oriental statues,
standing in a long line of people who all waited silently. Soon she was on a
chair surrounded by several beings. The room she was in was dark and she was
unable to see the being's features clearly, but they were apparently humanoid.
She was handed an object and was told to do something, she refused, thinking
that the beings were evil. She began screaming and suddenly found herself back
on her bed.

Time: 1800
Valentina Flores was bringing in her
llamas when she discovered that her sheep pen was covered with a net made of
some plastic like material, and that inside the pen was a helmeted being, 3.5 ft tall, who was engaged
in the killing of her sheep by a tubular instrument having a hook on the end of
it. Mrs Flores threw stones at the being, whereupon he walked over to an
instrument resembling a radio and, moving a wheel on it, quickly absorbed all
the netting. The farm woman approached the pen with a cudgel, upon which the
being threw his instrument at her several times; it returned to him like a
boomerang, after inflicting superficial cuts on her arms. The entity picked up
the machine, which had absorbed the net, as well as a bag containing sheep
entrails, and put them into a rucksack on his back. Two legs emerged from the
rucksack and extended down to the ground, at which time the entity rose
straight up into the air with an "extraordinary" sound, and vanished.
34 sheep were found dead and from every one, "certain small portions of
the digestive organs were missing."

The owner of the Lagoa Negra Fazenda,
his wife and two children, and the Fazenda manager all saw a UFO that was disc
shaped, about 9 ft
high and 30 ft
wide, with a round hat shaped dome on top. It had a metallic gleam and emitted
a very powerful reddish light as it hovered about 6 ft above the ground, 400 yards away. Two
6-foot tall men appeared beside it, dressed in white coveralls with broad
sashes, they had shoulder length hair and ware barefoot. These beings walked
stiffly, without bending their legs. Then appeared 3 more beings less than 4.5 ft tall, wearing
chestnut brown coveralls, likewise with long hair, these 3 walked about
rapidly, but remained near the UFO. The two tall beings walked further away,
finally opening a gate in the fence around the yard and advancing to within 60 yards of the house.
When the wife opened the door and called out to her husband, in fright, the two
turned around and walked to the object; all five entered and the object rose
vertically. The family's 5 dogs remained unusually docile throughout the
visitation. Footprints, both large and small, were later found at the site.

Time: night
Jean D was awakened by a whirling sound
from outdoors; going to the window and wiping the steam from the cold, she saw
circling nearby a 3 foot
disk of highly polished metal. At the same time, she "heard"
messages, such as "we have to get into position on the east side of the
bedroom to clasp." The feeling was that "they' were frantic, and she
"heard" then speak of a tube like casing for entry, then a drilling
sound; next, a round metallic material appeared on the wall, growing in size.
The sound stopped and with a "light feeling" all around, a number of
3-foot beings entered the room through the casing. The next thing she remembers
is being on a table, with a cloth; certain entities were preparing her for an
operation; according to the continuing "messages," the beings needed
her "substance" or they would not "make it back." Using an
implement like a thin flashlight with a needle at each end, they made a circular
incision in her stomach from which they extracted blood. They seemed to be
shrinking until each, in turn, was given a sample of the blood. She described
them as having large gray green heads with large ear fixtures, eyes, nose, and
a mouth that did not open as they "communicate." They indicated that
they wanted her son, and Jean became hysterical; they told her never to reveal
what had happened or they would take him. The next she remembers is the
whirring sound, and they were leaving through the hole in the wall. She found
herself at the window again, wiping it in order to see outside, searching for
tracks in the snow. When her husband returned she tried to tell him what
happened; when he did not believe her, she accused him of "being one of
them." This feeling persisted for a long time, and she warned that she
would be committed to an institution.

Three teen aged boys, Russell Fox,
Richard Nutter, and Mike Cain, were out hunting when they saw a huge bird that
waddled sideways; their dog took after it and the creature ran into a decrepit
barn. With a flashlight, they could see that it was almost as large as a man,
with large glowing eyes. Fox, who was about to shoot it, inexplicably dropped
his gun, walked forward in the darkness, and offered it his new hunting jacket.
Then a glow lit the barn, and instead of the bird, he saw a youth wearing only
a loincloth, "who looked as if he were made out of gold." This figure
picked up the jacket and held it up, and then began to weep; then it vanished.

A young man, "Peter," was

nearby trees. As he started to get out of the car, this shadow glided to a new
position about 20 ft

tall, it was "too squat and square" to be a man, and moved
soundlessly. It appeared to have no legs. Peter and the girl drove off quickly.
At the same site two weeks later, an unpleasantly pungent odor was detected,

attaching themselves to the wall by "suction hands and feet." They
glistened like metal, possibly wearing flexible, tight fitting metallic
clothing. At her appearance, the two little creatures rushed to the door, and
she heard quite a scrambling around; as if there may have been 5 or 6 of them.

Bob Strong received a strange phone
call, urging him to be at "Heaven's Gate," on the Longleat Estate, at
2100 on the 18th. He drove there with Sybil Champion, and they saw a UFO land
on the estate. They went to the site & found that the UFO was no larger
than a soup plate. Down a fine golden ladder climbed more than 24 4" tall
humanoids, which then "grew" to normal size, shook hands with the
witnesses, & engaged them in conversation. Strong was invited to take a
ride in the saucer; with the crewmembers, shrank to 4" size and climbed up
the ladder. The ship rose with a whistling noise, "becoming larger."
Sybil waited 8 hours, after which the UFO returned & let Strong out, still
diminutive; he regained his normal height as he walked toward Sybil. As to the
voyage, all he was "permitted" to tell Shuttlewood was that it
concerned "the inner core or central ball of Earth."

Axel Aberg Cobo, a Professor of Human

Shortly after, two "men" over 6 ft tall, "who looked as though they were

He felt as if they were communicating with him telepathically. They greeted him

said to him, "Krebs, Navis, Karsicujo and Krero." Cobo noted these

A quick tip to Lanulos...

Location. Near Adelphi Maryland
Date: February 1968
Time: night
After work Sunday, a friend dropped off
the witness at home. As the friend pulled away, a large black car with its
lights out glided out of the shadows and halted at the curb. The entity called
Vadig then called out to the witness from the car. Another man was in the car.
The witness later recalled only that he wore a gray coat, had black hair, and
never spoke. The witness got into the car. The car was a very old Buick, but
was very well kept, it looked brand new, and it even smelled brand new. They
drove for about 30 minutes to a remote spot on a back road. When the witness
got out of the car he was astonished to see an egg shaped object waiting for
them. Inside the object he was put into a circular room containing nothing but
a couple of bucket seats and a gray TV screen. Vadig and his companion
disappeared into another part of the craft. After a few minutes the TV screen
came alive, the object shuddered, and the witness watched the image of the
earth receding to a tiny speck on the screen. Three or four hours passed. It
seemed like hours before another planet appeared on the screen, it grew larger,
and then the craft landed with a thump. The young witness found himself in a
place no too unlike the Earth. He and Vadig got into a wheel less vehicle that
traveled along a kind of through. "This is Lanulos," Vadig announced
with pride in his voice. Their vehicle traveled through a large city with low,
flat buildings and signs written in some kind of Oriental looking characters.
The people, male and female, were all nude. After the tour, they returned to
the egg-shaped craft and took off again. The witness sat alone in the same
circular room watching the television screen for hours. Finally they arrived
back on Earth at the same place from which they had left. The witness, Vadig,
and the silent man returned to the old Buick and drove for about 30 minutes
until they reached his apartment house. "I'll see you in time," Vadig
declared, the car drove off. To the witness amazement the whole trip, including
the 30-minute rides to and from the object, had taken less than two hours.

In a rural area a couple were getting
ready to go to sleep when the husband decided to look outside to check road
conditions. He was then astounded when he saw a huge oval shaped craft hovering
near a pond, the craft had several prong-like probes protruding out, and one
was directly in front of the window. The husband then yelled to his wife and
both watched the object. The craft was dark gray metallic with a large dome on
top. It gave the impression that it was old and ancient. The bottom of the
object appeared concaved. There was a white light that illuminated the object
entirely and the witness could now see a catwalk on the middle of the object.
There was a single human like figure standing on the catwalk and was looking
directly at the witness. The witness could also see opened portholes from which
multicolored lights emerged, what appeared to be instrument panels and other
figures could be seen inside the object. Another figure had now come out to the
catwalk and was apparently talking to the other one. The object eventually
moved slowly away rising up out of sight shining a bright beam of light at the
witnesses who briefly followed it in their vehicle.

Serafin Vieria Sebastiao, a sentry,
after noticing interference on his transistor radio, saw a UFO so close to the
ground that he could see four of its occupants; the object was oval, metallic,
and topped by a transparent "tower" with a small balustrade on which
two beings were leaning; the other two could be seen as silhouettes inside the
transparent tower. After telephoning another sentry, he approached the craft
and shone his flashlight on it. At this he was enveloped in a sort of smoke or

"Do not be afraid we are a peaceful people", he fled without seeing
the object leave. The next morning upon returning to the site he found a

a strange looking irregular shaped silvery stone, which he kept. Analysis
proved to be made out of "normal" earth minerals.

Benjamin Solari Parravicini was suddenly confronted by a fair skinned man with
eyes 'so light in color that he looked as if blind," who addressed him in
an unintelligible guttural language. Looking upward, the witness saw only 50 yards away a hovering
aerial craft, with no lights. He became dizzy, and when he recovered, he found
himself inside the machine, with 3 other persons. One of these, very handsome,
was questioning Parravicini in an alien language, which he was able to
understand telepathically. They told him that they would taken him once around
the earth, and he observed Japan, France, and Chile before being returned to
the same street corner. Since this experience, the alien beings have contacted

Jorge Yaru, a member of the Argentine
Navy, stepped out of his home to hear a very loud engine type noise, looking
around he sees nothing and re-enters the house. Soon he again hears the noise
and goes outside to investigate. Looking towards a nearby empty field he sees a
hovering disc shaped object with a dome on top and one in the bottom, he
estimates the craft to be about 1.50 meters in width and 6 meters in length, the
craft was rotating in anti-clockwise manner. He watched the object for 45
minutes then the craft shoots away at a ninety-degree angle towards the nearby
wooded hills. Mr. Yaru then feels a strange urge to bathe in a nearby brook,
which he does, not withstanding the very low temperatures at the time. He
strangely felt, as he had to "cleanse" himself. At the same time, a
neighbor, Adela Garcia, heard the same noise and noticed in the same empty
field a strange triangular shaped cloud from which a giant man-like figure,
over 2 meters
tall, with long blond hair, descended to the ground. The strange being, which
Garcia likened to Jesus Christ, approaches her and she kneels before him.
Turning away briefly from the being, she looks up and both the being and the
triangular shaped cloud had vanished. At the empty field a large scorched area
of grass was found.

At the same time that an asteroid named
"Icarus" came very closed to the earth, strange events were reported
in northern Italy. A half hysterical woman phoned the police station reporting
that three huge, disc shaped object were hovering outside of town, the objects
glowed a pale red. Lt. Germonde took the call. Minutes later other witnesses
reported seeing "spinning discs" the size of houses slowly descend to
the ground in a wooded area near the town. But soon it really got weirder.
Germonde received a call from a bar-restaurant owner reporting "huge birds
with tiny wings and with faces like humans." According to the witness
there were four or five huge birds flying towards Celano. The strange creatures
were described as 3-feet in height and flying upright, as if they were men being
propelled above the ground by some unknown force. No wings were visible...only
a blur above their shoulders, like the wings of a hummingbird. Whatever kept
them flying was small and moving very fast. The creatures reportedly flew at a
height of only a few feet above the ground. They appeared to have trouble
moving in heavily wooded areas. Their faces were reported to have been human
like, which contained a blank look. The next day, Arturo Gerraci, on his way
home and drunk, stumbled on a bird-like corpse in the woods. Running all the
way back to the tavern howling that he came across the "corpse of a winged
monster" in the woods. First reluctant to follow him to the woods, some
men did go to the spot and recovered the body of a strange creature. A Dr. Respighi
examined the corpse and described it as, "A creature of about 3-feet in
height, weighing approximately 41 pounds , having arms and legs formed roughly
the same as those of a normal human, that is to say with fingers, opposing
thumb, and toes, complete with joint structure. A wing like appendage attached
roughly halfway between shoulder and neck on each side of the head. It was made
up of tiny, thin, but extremely strong pieces of cartilage, apparently capable
of moving very rapidly. The creature had no eyes. In their place was a cluster
of tiny, filament like antenna, protected by a tissue thin membrane of skin. It
had also gill like apertures capable of oxygen intake. Incredibly as the body
was being examined it was decomposing at an incredibly rapid rate. The tissue
seemed to dry up and crumble into powdery flakes. Respighi had the corpse put
in a freezer, hoping to preserve it, until colleagues could arrive and examine
it. By the time they arrived, even on the ice, the corpse decomposed to a
grayish white powder.

Shortly after midnight several bursts of
machine gun fire were heard coming from a location in the vicinity where
militia member Isidro Puentes Ventura was on guard duty. At dawn, Puentes was
found unconscious by an Army patrol and taken to a hospital in Pinar Del Rio,
where he remained in shock and unable to speak for six days. Removed to the
neurological ward at the Naval Hospital in Havana, Puentes was diagnosed to be
suffering from emotional trauma, remaining in shock for another week. At the
site where Puentes had been posted, Cuban and Soviet intelligence investigators
found forty-eight spent cartridges and fourteen bullets apparently flattened by
impact, as well as equally spaced indentations in the ground, indicating that a
heavy device had landed. Tests revealed that the soil had been exposed to a
high degree of heat. When Puentes recovered consciousness he reported that he
had come to within 150 feet
of a brilliant round object on the ground, with a dome and several antennas on
top. Convinced that the device was an American helicopter, Puentes fired about
forty rounds at it. The craft turned orange and emitted a strong whistling
sound---Puentes last recollection before losing consciousness. Soviet
intelligence specialists subjected Puentes to a fifty-hour interrogation after
which he was examined by a team of psychiatrists and put through fifteen
hypnosis sessions. No contradictions were found in his story.

Juan Gilabert and his wife, Anastasia
were at their home when Anastasia suddenly heard a loud whistling sound and
felt extreme heat. Juan was in another room. At the same time a bright light
seemed to descend from the ceiling. The light began to dim and she felt
semi-paralyzed, in a corner of the room she saw a short humanoid figure wearing
a silvery suit. Frightened she managed to grab a hold of her young daughter and
ran outside screaming. Several neighbors, among them, Rogelio Gianomini came to
her aid and found a strange white substance on the floor and a strong
sulfur-like odor in the area. Small footsteps were also found. Mrs. Gilabert
suffered from nervous shock after the incident.

Jennings H Frederick had been hunting
game with bow and arrow when he heard a high pitched jabbering; the rapid-fire
message, which he may have perceived telepathically, seemed to say, "You
need not fear me, I wish to communicate. I come as friends. We know of you
all...I wish medical assistance. I need your help." Frederick reached into
his pocket for his handkerchief and found it was entangled in what he thought
were brambles; withdrawing his arm, he saw attached to it a thin, flexible hand
and arm, green in color like a plant, terminated in three fingers with needle
like tips and suction cups. The hand tightened his grip and punctured a blood
vessel as he turned to see a "terrifying being with semi human facial
features." It had slanting yellow eyes and pointed ears, and a body like
the stalk of some huge ungainly plant. The eyes suddenly spun, creating a
hypnotic effect in the witness, and the pain ceased; the witness froze to the
spot while the "transfusion" continued, lasting perhaps a minute. He
was then released and the being departed, with 25-foot strides, disappearing
into the woods.

A civil servant named Pedro Dema Filho
heard a loud humming noise and was blinded by a powerful beam of light
accompanied by two green lamps. These vanished, and from a door in an object
emerged 4 entities not much over 20" tall, greenish, and wearing something
like headphones; they quickly approached him, and paralyzed, he could not run.
They seized him and dragged him into their craft, whose interior "looked
like a laboratory," where they questioned him at length about human
customs---apparently telepathically, since they seemed to have no mouths. They
made him undress and conducted a detailed physical examination, including the
introduction into his mouth of an extraordinary luminous wire that made his
body transparent. His limbs felt cold, his head spun and his tongue "turned
to stone," but when they finally released him again, and the craft flew
off leaving a luminous trail, he felt no further physical effects.

A man out on a hiking trip in the area
was scanning some fields with a pair of binoculars when he noticed four bizarre
looking humanoids standing on a field. The humanoids were standing around
apparently inspecting the area except for one that appeared to be lying prone
on the ground. These human like figures appeared to be naked or topless as if
sunning themselves in a beach. As he watched, five minutes later a large gray balloon
shaped object appeared above some trees. It was flying in a west-east direction
and appeared to be about 25
meters in diameter. At one point the object ejected a
small sphere that descended in a vertical parabolic trajectory disappearing
behind the trees. Soon 4 bell-parachute shaped objects appeared and descend
over each of the humanoids covering them completely, each of the humanoids
raised their arms as if waiting to be covered by the objects. The parachute
like objects then disappeared along with the humanoids. The witness described
the humanoids as about 1.40
meters in height, of a robust build with short muscular
legs and over-developed calves. Their skin was dark reddish in color and their
hair was dark and swarthy. Their heads and faces were peculiar since they had
dog or canine-like characteristics.

Adela Casalvieri, night nurse at the

hospital courtyard. Going out to see what caused it, she observed at a distance
of 20 meters
a landed object, in the shape of two saucers edge-to-edge and brightly
luminous, in the middle of the courtyard. A luminous red ray was directed at
her and she found her legs paralyzed; putting her hands up to her face for
protection, she found she was unable to move, as well. She remained immobilized
for a number of minutes, until the red beam was extinguished. At this time the
object ascended vertically, then moved off rapidly to the south, barely
clearing the wall around the courtyard. Before it disappeared she was able to
observe several human like figures through square portholes that encircled the
object; these moved back and forth, passing each other, and were visible only
from the waist up. Imprints were found at the landing site and several small
potted trees were burned. Mrs Casalvieri had first-degree burns of the face and
hands, and parts of her cap and clothing were burned; in addition, her watch,
which had stopped at 0130A, was found to be radioactive, as was her ring.

look he noticed an aircraft down on the other side of the hill about 60 to 100 yards away. The
object was sort of rounded. Its base was larger than its rounded top and it was
sitting on three or four legs, which all had round feet. A door was
opened---like a chopper door that folds out and down. The underside of the
craft was lighted with a beige diffuse light. The door was open facing the
witness and there was a yellowish light inside. There were three men outside
doing something. One seemed to notice the witness. The men all looked to be in
their twenties, had short blond hair and were dressed in what appeared to be a
gray, silvery jumpsuit. After some minutes the men got back inside the object,
the door closed in a normal manner, and it started an easy vertical take off.
There was no noise as the object rose to about 40 ft up, turned off its bottom

Mr. John Scarrah was walking to work
along St. Nicholas Avenue when he encountered a strange entity. The figure was
man-like about six-foot tall, dressed in a tight fitting metallic boiler suit.
The man had his hair brushed back and as he confronted the witness he stared at
him with considerable alarm for a few seconds, as if shocked to confront
anyone. He then turned around and vanished in plain sight. In amazement and
fear the witness went to the spot at once and tried to find a means by which
the figure could have appeared to vanish.

Hearing a sound outside the farmhouse
Larry Abbott, his father and a relative, Arnold Hubbard, went outdoors to look.
Then, from the opposite side of the house, they heard a rustling of weeds.
Grabbing a flashlight they saw a "monster" rising from the tall brush
about 50 ft
away. It was walking toward them, and appeared to be about 10 ft tall and about 4 ft across the shoulders. Its
arms were long, like an ape's. In the flashlight beam the monster's hairy body
was a beige color; its eyes glowed over a nose that was beyond Larry's ability
to describe. The teeth were prominent and protruding, the ears pointed. But the
feature that Larry remembered most was the thickness of the shoulders.
"The thing put me into a sort of trance," said Larry. "I
couldn't talk. Maybe it was just fright, but I couldn't open my mouth. And
nobody else talked either. Maybe we were all in a trance." Larry said when
he played the light beam on the monster it dropped down to the ground and was
lost from sight. Then, a few minutes later, they could hear it again, near the
garage. Alarmed, Larry's father returned to the house and brought back a .22
rifle and gave it to Hubbard, who wanted to stalk the beast. As the men moved
across the open field, the creature suddenly stood up in clear view about 50 ft away. When Larry got it
in the beam of the light, Hubbard fired. His first shot was a direct hit. The
creature screamed hideously, a scream that Larry will never forget. Two more
shots were fired. Unbelievably, before the eyes of all three men, the creature was
suddenly enveloped in a white mist. In less than a minute the mist vanished,
then darkness. The three men searched the spot where the creature was shot and
found no trace of it.

While driving from Haapajarvi to
Helsinki, Mr. Helge Lindroos picked up a hitchhiker at Evijarvi. During the
course of driving, Lindroos felt "electric vibrations" through his
body. The stranger then told him that he "came from space," and was
last on Mars and had landed on earth only a short time before. He said there
were "thousands" of them on Earth but that they didn't show
themselves to all humans, since people "are still afraid of humanoids."
The man appeared completely normal, about 170-cm. Tall and weighing about 170
kilos. He urged Lindroos to relax, assuring the man that he meant no harm, that
they were here to protect humanity "from destruction." At some
unspecified point the stranger asked Lindroos to stop and got out. Lindroos was
about to remove the key and get out for something to eat when he saw the
stranger had vanished; he could see in every direction for 50 meters , but the
stranger was nowhere in sight, and the fastest sprinter in the world could not
have covered the distance in so few seconds. For several weeks after this
encounter, Lindroos felt the electric vibrations throughout his body.

out her window and was surprised to see three normal looking men standing in
the yard, one of who was standing with his back to her. Three bright beams of
light shone down on them from above, coming from a Saturn shaped UFO that gave
off a shrill sound like "electronic music." The semi-spherical
underpart of the object was rotating, and the object appeared metallic. It was
slightly higher than the two adjacent buildings. Mrs Kok could see the men's
faces and was surprised by their entirely human appearance since, seeing the
object directly above them, assumed they were "spacemen," who she
felt must look different than humans. Apparently aware of her presence at the

opened the door to see what it was and was horrified to see a weird figure
floating up the stairs. The figure was humanoid and very tall; it wore a blue
tight fitting suit. Its face glowed orange, it had large round eyes, and it had
red hair that was standing up in all directions. The being swiveled its head at
an impossible angle and looked at the now terrified witness. The witness locked
the door and sat on his bed trembling. The loud whine now increased as the dog

when the engine of the car quit and the lights went out. Peccinetti was just
getting out of the car when both men found themselves paralyzed, and face to

pates, and wearing coveralls. Behind them was seen a circular or oval UFO 12 ft across and 5 ft high, hovering about 4 ft above the ground and
directing a bright beam of light downward. When the entities came close, the
witnesses heard a foreign-sounding voice repeating, "Do not fear."
Then they were told; "We have just made 3 journeys around the sun,
studying customs and languages of the inhabitants of the system...Mathematics
is the universal language." Meanwhile, another of the entities, using a tool
like a soldering iron, was making inscriptions on the doors, windshield, and
running boards of the car. Next, the witnesses saw a circular TV-like screen,
on which there appeared first a waterfall, then a mushroom-shaped cloud, and
then the waterfall again, this time with no water. Finally the beings took hold
of the witness's left hands and pricked their fingers 3 times, taking blood
samples, after which they ascended to their machine along the light beam. There
was an "explosive effect" and the object rose and disappeared. The
witnesses ran to a nearby military college to report their experience. They
later retracted their story, but there are indications that there was coercion;
in fact, authorities in Mendoza quickly made the "spreading of UFO rumors"
a criminal offense in Mendoza to discourage widespread rumors on this and other

Their faces had no recognizable features but were covered with

they walked up what appeared to be a flight of steps and
"disappeared" into the object; followed by the third entity, who had

Mr. And Mrs Buck McMullen were alerted b
the barking of their dog outside their home, just as they were about to sit
down to dinner. The dog, howling and whimpering, broke loose from his chain and
ripping a hole through the screen door barreled in to cower under the table.
Going out, accompanied by the son's fiancée, Sharon Thompson, they saw 50 yards from the house a
transparent spherical object hovering over a palm tree, giving off a purplish
red light. Inside the sphere were visible two standing men dressed in white,
tight fitting uniforms with close fitting hoods, who were operating a
horizontal bar pivoted to a metallic central column. As they worked the bar up
and down, the craft rocked back and forth, slowly gaining altitude; finally it
emitted fire and sparks and sped out of sight. It left a strong odor of ammonia
behind. The object had been visible for approximately 20 minutes. Prior to its
appearance the family had noticed audio and visual interference in their TV

Robert Thompson, 14, and two other

a bright light in the north. It began descending in a zigzag fashion and landed
with a flash in the playing fields to the west of their position. They climbed
a small hill overlooking the fields on the east where they saw the object had
landed between the physical education field and the football field, a distance
of several football fields from where they stood. The object was large as a
house and oval, brightly lit, with bright yellow lights around the central
edge. It made a sound "like bees" and Thompson's hearing aid was
affected by it. A brightly lighted door appeared on the periphery out of which
floated an 8 to 9 foot
"apparition with a large head and small body. They saw no legs and the
most prominent features on the head were two large cat-like eyes and large
lips. After being briefly observed for a minute or less, both object and entity
abruptly disappeared, "like turning off a light switch." Traces were

Engineer Alberto Zecua and
other were out camping in an isolated area near the railroad tracks heading
towards Cuernavaca, when one morning he woke up feeling a strange attraction to
a section of the nearby woods. As he reached a clearing surrounded by tall
pines he saw an orange-lighted object hovering just above the ground, seemingly
suspended by a column of orange light. The craft was silvery-white in color,
disc shaped with a small turret-like dome on top. Three tall human-like figures
were moving around the object. Two of the figures were inserting chrome-plated
tubes into the ground as if collecting soil samples, the other one stood with
its back to the witness. These figures wore tight fitting coveralls and silvery
oval shaped helmets. Apparently sensing the presence of the witness the one
standing up suddenly turned around to look at him. The being was described as
human-like, very handsome with fine chiseled features and penetrating blue
colored slanted eyes. At this point Zecua began feeling nauseated and could not
move. Perhaps sensing his discomfort the tall figure approached and pressed a
button around a wide belt on his waist, a beam of green green light emerged, bathing the witness
from head to toe. After this happened the witness felt much better. He soon
began hearing telepathic communication from the being, telling him to remain
calm and not to be afraid. The being was easily over 2 meters tall and as he
stood next to the witness he removed his helmet, showing long blond shoulder
length hair. Still using telepathy the being told Zecua that they recognized
him and that they had "collaborated" with him before. At one point
the tall being took Zecua by the hand, pressed another button on his belt and a
sort of wispy cloud emerged. On it Alberto saw images of what he was told was
his past lives. While all this was taking place the other two beings continued
collecting plant and soil samples. Before leaving Alberto asked the beings for
some sort of proof of the encounter, but they refused. He bid them goodbye and
ran towards his tent to obtain his camera and a pair of binoculars, at the same
time waking up the disbelieving members of the campsite. As he ran back to the
site of the encounter he saw the craft slowly leaving the area and apparently
was able to take several photographs.

A French doctor was awakened by the
sound of his 14-month old son crying. His son was standing in his crib pointing
at the window: behind the shutter a bright light was moving. After the child
had gone back to sleep, the doctor went out onto the balcony. He saw 2 glowing
discs in the sky, silvery white on top and bright red underneath. Each had a
tall antenna on top and one on either side, and they were directing a narrow
beam of white light towards the ground below. The 2 objects slowly drew closer
and merged into a single object, about 200 ft in diameter and 50 ft thick. It approached
the doctor, and then tilted 90 degrees so that the beam of light struck him. He
then heard a loud bang, and the object evaporated into a whitish cloud that
dissipated with the wind. A thin thread o flight rose high into the sky before
vanishing, as a white dot and exploding like a firework. A few days earlier the
doctor had accidentally cut a vein in his leg while chopping wood, and a decade
earlier he had stepped on a landmine in Algeria, leaving his right side
partially paralyzed. After the above sighting, he found that the swelling and
pain from his leg injury had vanished, and the chronic after-effects of the
injuries he had sustained in the Algerian war improved dramatically in the days
that followed. A few days after the encounter, the doctor and his child each
developed a strange, reddish, triangular mark on the abdomen, and this mark
recurred in successive years. Strange paranormal phenomena began to take place
around the doctor and his family, including poltergeist activity and
unexplained disturbances in electrical circuits. The doctor began to have
mysterious meetings with a strange, nameless man he called "Mr.
Bied." He would hear a whistling noise inside his head and would feel
guided to walk or drive to a certain location where he would meet the man, who
would discuss his UFO experience and paranormal matters. Mr. Bied caused him to
experience apparent teleportation and time travel, including a distressing
episode with alternative landscapes on a road that does not exist. The stranger
also once visited the doctor at his home accompanied by a 3ft tall humanoid
with mummified skin, which remained motionless while his eyes quickly darted
around the room. The doctor experienced uncontrolled levitation on at least one
occasion.

The witness had been in the area back in
1950 and at that time had experienced a peculiar incident, which left him with
a scar. He returned to the site in December 1968 and saw a craft 40 ft in diameter and 10 ft high, and met its
occupant, who walked around the side of the object. He was human in appearance
with long hair, about 5'6" tall, and wore silver colored shoes. The witness
spoke with this humanoid, in English, for about 3 minutes, learning that he was
from Saturn; the man seemed to be in a hurry to get away; boarding, the craft
rose 15' off the ground and hovered momentarily before moving off and
disappearing.

Two men, a nephew and his uncle, were
driving along a clear, straight stretch of highway from Isabela to San Juan.
The nephew was driving when they observed an object sitting on the right hand
side of the road. Only the nephew observed a figure; seen only for several
seconds, it was short and human like. Its mouth gave the impression of being
toothless. The most distinctive features were the eyes, shining brightly in the
dark, "like a cat." It stood about 10 feet from the car at its
closest. The uncle did not see the figure, for the young man pulled rapidly
away from the scene. The uncle turned around in time to observe the UFO light
up like a blue green bulb, and then to rise, turning a reddish color. He also
heard a faint sound at the same time.

During his Christmas vacation, Robert
McAllister, a student, was out checking his animal traps when he came upon a
circular object hovering 6 ft
off the ground. About 15' in diameter, the object made no noise and Robert
approached to within a few feet. From behind some rocks emerged three figures,
their heads encased in helmets; they held a cable at the end of which, floating
about 10 ft
off the ground, was a chair, on which sat a smiling, apparently aged man, with
silver hair and a benign smile. He wore a kind of tunic, while the three men on
the ground wore uniforms of a hard, shiny blue type of material. Ignoring the
boy, they "escorted" the seated man to the object, in which a door
opened; the man and two of his escorts entered, the latter by floating up to
it. The remaining figure approached the boy and, placing his arm around him,
led the child around the craft, pointing out various features and speaking in a
strange language the boy did not recognize. Noticing a ball point pen in
Robert's pocket, the man took it to write a paper he drew from his pocket; when
Robert indicated he could keep the pen, he again reached into his pocket and
brought out his own, which heave gave to the boy. Repeating a phrase that
sounded like, "Ab-doon! Ab-doon!" he floated up to the door and
disappeared inside. The door closed then re-opened, and then man made gestures
for Robert to move further away; then the object rose slowly and silently,
suddenly shooting off at tremendous speed. After school had resumed, Robert was
visited at his home by a stranger who handed him a "deaf mute" card;
the man, rather than accepting the offered coins, asked for the pen, (the one
given to the witness by the humanoid) which he took and quickly left.
