1959 Humanoid report. The end of the
50's decade brought forth a decrease in reported encounters. The world was
entering a new phase of development; the era of innocence was about to come to
end in dramatic fashion. 1959 brought in the last encounters of the "Happy
Days" period. A new era was dawning. Following is a list of reported
humanoid encounters for 1959.
1.
Location. Wever, Iowa
Date: 1959
Time: unknown
8-year old Barbara Schutte (involved in other
abductions) remembered being abducted and examined by an alien. A sample was
taken from the first finger of her left hand (a remains to this day). The alien
was friendly and told her the he would see her again, he would teach me what
she needed to know later, and that some day she would be doing some important
work, when she grew up, she would understand. (There is no description of the
alien).

Madame Berube and a friend were in their
room when suddenly the area was illuminated by a bright white light coming from
outside, looking out the window they saw at a distance of about 50 feet they saw a huge
object with three bright points of light, one red, one green and the third
yellow, hovering very close to the ground over the road. They could see a
cabin-like structure surrounded by several transparent oval-shaped
"windows" from which beige luminescent emerged. A hatchway was opened
and two humanoid figures briefly stepped out and walked around some parked
vehicles. No details on these could be seen. They soon returned to the object,
which departed at high speed emitting a rumbling noise.

A man fishing with a friend near the
coastline suddenly saw the water around his vessel began to bubble, moments
later a huge silvery disc shaped craft emerged out of the water hovered
briefly, then shot away at high speed. A few minutes later they saw very near
the boat at several meters in depth 3 to 4 dark clad figures that appeared to
be wearing tight fitting diving suits. The witnesses could not determine the
origin of the figures and assumed that they were somehow connected to the
flying disc.

Joyce Updike recalls standing by a
country road waiting, when she saw two men approach, the two men wore
"space suit like" outfits, headgear resembling old style diving
helmets and thick soled shoes. One of the men was holding two metal rods that
he was aiming towards the witness, while the other climbed over a nearby wire
fence and walked to a landed object, partly hidden by a hill. She then found
herself inside the object on top of an examining table, two men wearing winged
type skullcaps stood next to her. They seemed to be of average height and well
built. Another man wearing a three piece loose fitting "surgical"
outfit with a hood & a smoke colored visor over the eyes, stood by a
circular, glass covered instrument panel, and he also wore gauntlet gloves with
pointed pincer type clamps. The man approached the witness and raised her right
arm by the elbow, at this point all conscious recall ended.

object descending over a nearby clearing, as it got closer they could now see
that it was a disc shaped craft about four meters in diameter. Frightened the
child and mother ran back to the house. Then from out of the woods a figure
emerged, it was surrounded by a silvery blue light from an unknown source, it
seemed to emit a cold air wave. The figure wore a one-piece suit and a divers
mask. The figure made a sudden move putting his hand over his face, pushing
aside a low hanging tree branch, then it seem to wave at the witness, it then
walked back into the woods. Moments later the orange disc shaped object rose up

While attending a convention Harry Mayer
observed mysterious globes of light hovering over the runway at the local small
airport. As he ran toward them, a pretty young blond woman suddenly appeared in
front of him, and put out her arm stopping him in his tracks. She was barely
more than five-feet tall and Mayer was well over six feet, she had "the
strength of many men." They spoke long enough for Mayer to learn that her
name was Mary. Under her coat she was wearing a chocolate-brown uniform that
looked something like a ski suit. She claimed she was from Venus.

Location. Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base, Dayton Ohio
Date: 1959
Time: evening
Leon B Visse, an expert on histones
(proteins connected with cellular genetic material), was invited to a military
compound at Wright-Patterson, where he was asked to perform an experiment on
the histonic weight of particular cells. In the first experiment Visse found an
inordinately low histonic weight---far lower than in human cells. Either he was
mistaken or there had to be a complete revision of genetic theories, he
reasoned. But Visse obtained the same results when he repeated the experiment,
so he asked if he could look at the organism from which the cells came. To his
astonishment, Visse was taken into a special room where the corpses of two
humanoids lay. The bodies were very tall---a little over 7 ft---and from their
terrible injuries they appeared to have been in an accident, although the heads
were intact, the forehead high and broad, very long blond hair. The eyes were
stretched towards the temples, which gave them an Asiatic look. The nose and
mouth were small. The lips were thin, perfectly delineated. Despite slight
differences in their facial appearances, the two humanoids looked like twins.
The bodies had been preserved in formaldehyde but remained perfectly white,
apparently lacking the melanin granules, which cause normal human beings to tan
in strong sunlight. The eyes were very light blue and looked no different from
normal, Visse reported. The hands were human-like but slender, while their feet
were absolutely flat, with small toes.

The young witness remembered being in
her house with her mother and grandmother and the lights going out. As her
mother and grandmother investigated a commotion with the chickens in the yard,
the witness saw, apparently standing on a chair in the living room, a very
small dwarf-like creature wearing a brown smock and a large floppy hat, she was
not able to see his face. The witness screamed and her mother and grandmother
came running in the room, by this time the little man had disappeared.

Location. Ganden, Tibet
Date: 1959
Time: night
A delegation of Soviet
scientists/scholars was introduced to an aged Tibetan monk with a profound
knowledge of astronomy and problems peculiar to space travel. This lama was
convinced that intelligent life existed on other worlds, and that, under the
proper conditions, he could achieve visual contact with such beings from the
beyond. The lama chose two scientists from the delegation. He instructed them
in a special form of concentration and in the nutritional details of a special
diet. After some days had gone by the lama invited the Russians to come to his
cell. There, he introduced them to a piece of machinery entirely unknown to
these savants. This mysterious apparatus---the details of which Kolosimo does
not record---was emitting an odd, muffled noise. Suddenly, what looked like a
cloudy face appeared in the center of the room. This manifestation slowly took
on the indistinct form of a humanoid. The eerie figure stood erect and
motionless, gazing at them blankly. Then there materialized in front of it what
looked like a moving replica of our solar system, including Mercury, Venus,
earth and the other planets slowly revolving around a central sun. This almost
ghostly solar system had an anomalous feature: a tenth planet orbiting in
leisurely fashion beyond the orbit of Pluto. Was this object from a sort of
time capsule, an artifact meant to convey some sense of the knowledge and
circumstances of the sentient species, which had occupied our planets before
us?

Location. At sea in the Florida Straits
Date: 1959
Time: 2200
While serving in the USN aboard the
aircraft carrier USS FDR, Chester Grusinski was below decks when he noticed a
number of seamen hurrying up to the flight deck of the carrier. When he got to
the flight deck, there were approximately 25 other men present observing an
oblong, orange light in the sky. The light approached the carrier in a
"wobbling" fashion, blocking out the background of stars in the sky
and becoming larger. At a distance of probably no more than several hundred
feet from the vessel, it stopped and hovered; Grusinski could clearly see a row
of square windows, lighted within by a dull orange glow; in two of these
windows, to his left, he could see occupants, one in each window. One appeared
to be leaning against the glass and looking down at the witnesses, while the
other could be seen only from the neck up. Then they both moved away and were
no longer visible. At is closer range; Grusinski could feel a wave of warmth
coming from the object. After the figures disappeared, the bottom of the object
began glowing a red orange; it became brighter as the object began to move off,
and they could clearly see then that it was cigar shaped. The faster it moved,
the brighter it got. The observation lasted from two to five minutes. The next
day, Grusinski, got up early to see if there was any reference to the incident
in the "plan of the day." He found none; when queried about it by others,
he denied having seen anything. On the other hand, he was unable to find anyone
else who was willing to talk about it.

Mrs C Wickens had been visiting her
sister's home in Leigh and on her way to catch a late bus noticed three figures
crouching on the nearby grass verge; she could also make out several other
groups of three and four figures standing further back in the shadows. All were
dressed in clothing of dazzling white and wore balaclava-type helmets over
their heads. They stood motionless, watching the witness, and there was a
strange silence over the area. Then, on her left, she suddenly noticed a
solitary robot-like figure standing well over six-feet, and she was seized by
terror and couldn't go on. She fled back to her sister's home where she
remained for the night. Her sister wrote the experience off, claiming she had
seen "boy scouts" camping on the green for the night. In the morning
there were no signs of such.

Leonard Hewins saw a fiery round red
object come in for a landing 100
yards away. When it stopped the light went out, and a
blue haze about 12 ft
high formed around the object. In this haze he saw 3 tall human like, blond
haired figures wearing blue coveralls that "appeared to step up, lifting
themselves with a clumsy movement." A 4th figure appeared and they seated
themselves 2 in
front and 2 in
the rear; then the object began to glow red again, & rose with a trail of
sparks & a rushing sound. A trail of multi-colored very beautiful stars
shot out from the rear. He then heard a sound like rushing water, the same that
you hear when pressing your ears in and out with your fingers when at a
waterfall. The object then disappeared towards the west. The witness reported
seeing a similar object in 1930 and again in 1953.

Location. Gdynia Poland
Date: January 21 1959
Time: night
A luminous object was seen to fall into
the harbor of Gdynia; divers set to reach it brought back a piece of un-rusted
metal whose composition is not publicly known. Several days later, a strange
male figure wearing "a sort of uniform" was encountered dragging
himself along the beach; part of his face & hair appeared to be burnt. On
taking him to a hospital, it was found that the uniform was of metal, and that
the being's organs were quite different from ours, the numbers of fingers &
toes also different. The creature died after an armband was removed; its body
was sent to the USSR. An autopsy revealed a different structure of internal
organs and a spiral system of blood circulation. It had six fingered
extremities and was about 1.60
meters in height. The body was stored in a frozen
container and stored in an underground bunker apparently in the Moscow area.
Apparently divers found half of the object embedded in the mud under the water.
According to information later uncovered, in fact, not one, but two alien
bodies were recovered on the shore within the short time gap between
recoveries. One of the aliens was dead, while the second gave signs of life and
remained alive for a long time. He was examined in the Gdynia-Redlow hospital
and soon fell into a coma-like state after an arm bracelet was removed. The
aliens had six digits on their hands and feet. An autopsy was conducted on one
of the dead aliens; the second one (the one in coma like state) was put in a
special chamber aimed to support its vital functions. The six-fingered being
from Gdynia (the one taken to the USSR the other apparently remained in Poland
at an undisclosed location) is still stored in an isolated top-secret underground
bunker located under a building on the territory of the biomedical research
facility center east of Solnechnogorsk, together with other alien bodies.

Date: February 28 1959
Time: afternoon
Gerry Irwin, a Nike missile technician,
was driving from Nampa Idaho to his barracks at Fort Bliss, El Paso. He'd
reached Cedar City when he observed a glowing object crossing the sky. Irwin
decided it may have been an airliner on fire, which was attempting to land, and
he went to investigate. Using shoe polish, he wrote "Stop" on the
side of his car, and left a note on the steering wheel which read: "Have gone
to investigate possible plane crash. Please call law enforcement
officers"). A short while later, a fish and game inspector did stop and
took the note to the Cedar County sheriff, Otto Pfief, who returned to the site
with a group of volunteers. No trace of an airplane crash was found, but Irwin
was soon discovered unconscious and taken to a hospital. When Irwin finally
woke up form a deep sleep, he was puzzled by the absence of his jacket. He was
flown back to Fort Bliss and placed under observation for four days, after
which he returned to duty. Irwin behaved very strangely; he was plagued by
fainting, didn't seem to be aware of the correct date, and kept asking,
"were there any survivors?" He was placed in a hospital for
psychiatric examination, and the day after being discharged, April 18, Irwin
felt a powerful urge to return to the site of his strange encounter. Once there
he walked straight to a bush and found his missing jacket. There was a pencil
in a buttonhole with a piece of paper wound tightly around it. Irwin curiously
took the paper and burned it. He then went to the sheriff Pfief, who provided
him with all the details of the initial incident. Shortly thereafter, Irwin's
case came to the attention of the inspector general, who ordered a new investigation.
On July 10, Irwin re-entered the hospital. On August 1, he failed to report for
duty. One month later, he was listed as a deserter and was never seen again.

over them, the craft had lighted windows around its lower portion and blinking
red, yellow and green lights around the outer rim, it also emitted a loud
humming sound. The craft flew towards and retreated from the witnesses several
times. They apparently suffered a black out. Years later under hypnosis one
witness recalled that the craft landed nearby on three legs and all normal
noises ceased. They were both then taken inside, where they communicated by
telepathy with several humanoids including a taller six-foot tall being that
appeared to be the leader. Several experiments and examinations were conducted
on them and they were taken onboard a larger craft or mothership where they saw
other human abductees.

Time: night
Two prospectors told a strange story
while visiting with an old time of the Phoenix area. They claimed that for
several days they noticed what they at first thought to be several small
children playing near and in a small creek, which had water in it only during
the early spring season. They were quite familiar with the many
"strange" deaths that had occurred in this area and wisely felt that
children had no business there. These small "children" appeared to be
about five or six years old and would be seen in the same dry creek bed day
after day as the prospectors went about their diggings. One day they decided to
investigate and see what children could possibly be doing in such an area. When
they reached the creek bed they discovered, to their amazement that the "children"
had completely vanished but there, still very fresh in the sand, were
footprints. These prints appeared as miniature duplicates of engineer boots.
Although the miners returned to the same spot the next day they reportedly
never saw the "children" again. Other witnesses claim to have seen
these little "children" at closer range and say they look more like
men than children. Some ranchers, while on roundups in this same area, say that
they could clearly see "little men" as they called them, on the tops
of ridges and mountains of the superstition range watching them.

On a Friday afternoon Shirlee Teabo was
driving to her home in the suburbs of Seattle when she barely noticed a tall,
angular man hunched at the shoulder of a curving stretch of highway, she had
never before picked up a hitchhiker yet for some reason she felt an inner
compulsion to offer this man a lift. Almost without volition she backed her car
along the shoulder of the freeway, but began to tremble with fright when he
slid into the seat beside her. "Don't be afraid, Shirlee," she
reports that he said. She wondered how he knew her name. She noted other odd
things about her new companion. Although it was a steaming summer day, he wore
a heavy pinstriped suit with wide out of date lapels, and a wide brimmed black
hat pulled low over his eyes. Suddenly he was telling her things about herself
that she had never told anyone, and she had the weird sensation that she had
known him all her life. Increasingly suspicious, she pulled into a roadside
restaurant area, hoping that the hitchhiker would look for another ride. But he
followed her inside, and sat quietly while she ordered coffee and an ice-cream
cone, declining anything for himself. She offered the stranger ice cream and he
appeared to study the cone for a long time before tasting it. They returned to
the car, and were cruising through Tacoma before Shirlee realized that she had
no idea of her passenger's destination. "Oh, this will be fine," he
said vaguely. She stopped the car, and he smiled and called good-bye. As she
pulled back onto the roadway she glanced in the rearview mirror for a last
glimpse of the stranger. But he was gone. She pulled off the road, looking
frantically up and down the highway. There was nowhere for him to hide, yet he
was nowhere to be seen. He had vanished. Another man, a neighbor known as
Everett reported a very similar encounter with an equally described and garbed
man who also mysteriously disappeared after a short car ride.

Somehow he knew someone was at the other side. He lay his book down got up and
went to the door, opened it a crack and looked out. There were two men dressed
in black there. They looked like identical twins. They were dark complexioned
with Oriental eyes, but they were definitely not Orientals. They never said a
word but the witness heard in his mind, "Are you ready?" He does not
know why but for some reason he was ready to go. Since it was so terribly hot
that night, he had stripped down to his "birthday suit" so when he
reached for a pair of walking shorts again he heard in his mind, "That
will not be necessary. No one will see you." They stepped out in the hall
and instantly they were on top of a flat hill in back of the apartments. The
witness was rather surprised that the scene had changed so quickly. He noticed
the headlights of a car coming down the street, and he ducked behind the two
men. He then heard some laughter in his mind, "We told you no one would
see you. Try it." He then boldly stepped around in front of them, spread
his feet apart, propped his hands on his hips, daring anyone to see me. But the
car, with a man and a woman in it, passed a few feet from them not even looking
in their direction. He turned to say something to his companions and they were
looking up. He followed their gaze and realized that something was hanging
there suspended above them. As he did so, an opening appeared in its center and
blue-white light came tumbling out of it. He felt a queasy sensation in the pit
of his stomach, like when you are in an elevator or an airplane that is
dropping too fast. He could see apartment houses and the ground receding below
them. They were floating up toward whatever the object was. He blacked out as
they approached the opening. When he came to he was lying on his side facing a
wall. He rolled over on his back and sat up. He was in an oddly shaped room. It
somehow resembled a wedge of pie with the point of bitten off. The whole room
was bare except for some kind of projection on which he was sitting. Everything
seemed to be made out of a blue gray material. While the walls were very hard
the surface on he was sitting was very soft even though everything seemed to
have been made of the same material. The room was bathed in a soft glow and
there were no shadows anywhere, but there was no light source that he could
see. He then heard a female voice say, "He's awake now." He looked
around to see if he could spot the speaker but saw nothing, just the walls.
About this time on the short wall a door appeared and opened. He could see into
a hallway. Although the hall was dark, here was blue-white illumination that
appeared as though it was coming from some great distance. Two shadows
flittered across the doorway. He couldn't tell anything about their shapes. The
movement was too rapid and too distorted. But he received a mental impression of
two people approaching---a man in the front and a woman in the back---carrying
a tray full of some kind of surgical instruments and hypodermic syringes. His
next memory was of being back in his apartment, in his chair, reading his book.
An interesting detail was that a book that he had been reading went
mysteriously missing for a week after the encounter and was later found right
on the same spot where the witness had left it.

On a warm summer night, six-year old
Maureen Izon was sleeping soundly on the bottom bunk when she suddenly felt a
bitter chill around her. She opened her eyes and looked around. Standing at the
side of her bed were three illuminated figures. They had no features at all.
They looked like human silhouettes made up of white vapor. Being a devout
Catholic, Maureen lifted a cross pendant around her neck towards the figures,
but they remained standing by her bed. The taller figure moved toward her. She
could feel the air getting colder around her neck and then she felt pressure
around her neck. The figure was apparently trying to choke her. Maureen tried
to bring his right hand up to make the sign of the cross. But her hand felt
like it weighed a ton. At the same time she was having difficulty breathing.
She barely managed to make the sign of the cross and began praying. Soon the
figures vanished and the room became warm again. On a later date, the same witness
woke up with a runny nose and when she reached over to the tissue box when
suddenly a large hairy hand came up from behind the tissue box and grabbed her
wrist. She attempted to scream but was unable to as a cold chill enveloped her
body. She opened her mouth in an attempt to bite the hairy hand and it suddenly
disappeared.

five gray colored figures standing by the door looking at him and his sleeping
grandfather next to him. He could see a column of light or "energy"
in the middle of the room that appeared to be vibrating without any sound. This
appeared to be the mode of transportation for the creatures. According to the

A brightly luminous object descended to
a height of about 300 ft,
its apparent size then being about 5" at arm's length and its luminosity
dull orange yellow. It was circular with a wide base and a narrower upper deck,
and had 4 tapering legs, 2 at each end, on the bottom. A shaft of blue light
shining upwards at 45 degrees was seen part of the time. On top of this
appeared four men, surrounded at a little distance by an aura of luminescence.
"If wearing clothes, they were very tight-fitting." Father Gill and
37 Papuans were witnesses. Several other smaller UFOs maneuvered around it. The
object hovered, the men coming & going, for 2.5 hours. Then it shot off at
tremendous speed.

one of the men on the UFO did the same; then all the observers waved, and all 4

no further response. After about 1.5 hours of visibility low clouds hid the

An interesting para-psychological
experiment closely tied to the UFO phenomenon was conducted on this day in
Washington DC by the CIA and US Naval Intelligence. It was held at an office in
a government building at the corner of 5th and K Streets. According to Lt
Colonel Robert Friend, the officer in charge of Project Blue Book at the time
and who was present at the session, telepathic communication was attempted
through a psychic channeler who was also a military officer. Colonel Friend was
invited to attend a meeting with this officer, and was given the following
background information. A Canadian woman Mrs. Swan had come to their attention
through the Canadian government. The Canadians had conducted an extensive
investigation into Mrs. Swan's claims of contact with the aliens. With two
Naval Intelligence officers present, she went into a trance and they asked her
scientific and technical questions to which a woman of her education could not
possibly know the answers. Yet as questions were put to her, she was able to
answer quickly and easily, apparently with telepathic help from purported
extraterrestrials. According to the report, the aliens represented an
organization called the "Universal Association of Planets," and this
group had a project monitoring Earth. The investigation took an unexpected turn
when the woman informed one of the Naval officers that "they" were
willing to answers questions directly through him, a Navy commander and
intelligence officer---with no prior experience in telepathic communications.
He took over, attempting to write down the answers to questions put to him by
his associate Naval officer. The word traveled back quickly to Washington
officials and a very skeptical CIA. Nevertheless, there was no strong reason to
totally disbelieve the report of this respected Navy commander and his partner.
A meeting was arranged to be held in the security portion of a Washington
government building. When trance state contact was achieved, several questions
were put to him, and answers came back quickly. "Do you favor any
government group or race?" and "Would there be a third world
war?" Both were answered "No." The officials present then asked
to see a spaceship. The commander, still in a trance, told the group to look
out the window and they would have proof. They did promptly and a dark
saucer-shaped object was seen hovering in the sky "at approximately 1400
hours." They hurriedly made calls to the Washington radar center to
confirm the presence of the object. Radar operators told them that they were
experiencing a strange type of technical difficulty with their equipment, and
radar was blocked for that quadrant of the sky over Washington. A follow up
contact session was attempted that same day with only limited success, it was
indicated, "this was not the right time".

On running outside after an electrical
power failure, Mr. Gideon Johansson and his son saw a brilliant white light
hovering over a nearby building. This descended, breaking through the top a

was an oval, dome shaped machine 12
ft long & 8 ft high, light blue in color; in front was a
large window surrounded by rivet-heads. Inside this, brilliantly illuminated by
a white light, he could see 2 small, seated individuals, with very high crowned
heads, big eyes, small mouths, and pointed chins. Each had an earphone on one
ear. They wore white uniforms with broad black belts crossed over their
shoulders & chests. One of them loosened his belt to work on something
below the window level. After 2 minutes the craft floated along the street for 25 yards, then disappeared
in a flash, with a rush of air. A glassy deposit was found on the power line 1 km away. Mr. Johansson
suffered ill effects to his health, and the maple tree eventually died.
