1955 HUMANOID SIGHTING REPORTSCompiled byAlbert Rosalesgaruda79@att.net

1955 Humanoid Reports. After the great French-European humanoid wave, 1955 shifted to the US where incredible events were reported. Concentrated in Ohio and the famous Kelly Kentucky farm assault, humanoid reports in some way were simpler and much more cut and dry but things got weirder around August 1955. We were never the same after that.
Following is a list of Humanoid encounters for 1955.

Lloyd Arnold, 49, was in his home in Lakewood when he had an out of body experience in which he was taken aboard a UFO and examined by five occupants of normal height and appearance, although they had darker than normal skin. One spoke English, the other a tongue he has never heard. He recalls acceleration “like a jet, but more severe,” when he was flown to a place where the humanoids where gathered. “Call it a dream or hallucination, if you will. It was vivid and real. I was fully conscious and knew that I could stop it if I choose…but I have an immunity to fear.” His first UFO sighting was in 1913, and he has had many other sightings and experiences.

Location. Chita region, East Siberia, Russia
Date: 1955
Time: unknown
A group of scientists conducting research in the area accidentally stumbled upon a network of cell-like hollows, similar to honeycombs, but of a huge size, about 2.5m in diameter consisting of a total length of cells of about 500meters. In one of those cells the strange mummified body of a humanoid creature was found. The body of the entity was about 1.5m in height, with a disproportionably large, pumpkin-shaped head, short legs and six fingered hands. The finding soon caused interest in the regional Chita Department of the KGB. Once that happened all traces of the mysterious entity vanished, apparently the KGB had taken the body and shipped it to a classified laboratory. But later news came from nearby China from the Bayna-Kara-Ula region where similar entities had been discovered, reportedly descendants of a short dwarf-type gray yellowish alien entities that had crashed in the area in ancient times. Apparently the body of the entity was a kind of human-alien hybrid, identical to the type found in China.

It stared at the witness with an obscene and malevolent gaze. Eventually the room became warmer and the creature disappeared.

Three men noticed a shiny object falling to the ground five km away in a deserted area. After searching for an hour they came upon some jagged shiny wreckage and saw a moving figure nearby. As the figure approached they could see that it was semi human in form and somewhat frog-like. It wore a loose fitting green cloak that hanged down below its knees. It had a curved horn on each side of the head and its hands and feet were armor plated. The creature then began swaying and wriggling back and forth and it then disintegrated right before the three men.

Several young witnesses reported encountering a strange little man as they played in the backyard. They claimed that the being had human features and wore a form-fitting suit that covered his body completely except for his face. The first one who saw the little man was a 6-year old boy, who at first thought it was a doll and attempted to touch the humanoid, but when he approached the figure, this one stepped back. This alarmed the youngster who ran to his house and told his mother what he had seen. His mother did not believe him, but the boy insisted and dragged her outside. Once outside she almost ran into the strange humanoid and noticed that he had large lid-less protruding eyes that reminded her of a fly. Terrified, she fainted right away. Upon hearing the commotion outside other family members ran out to see what the problem was. Upon coming to her senses the woman noticed that the humanoid had now boarded a sort of floating platform that he seemed to control with a pair of pedals and a horizontal instrument panel on the top. The object seemed to move in short bursts or jumps and vaulted over a nearby fence, it then rose into the air and entered a large hovering metallic disc-shaped object that shot away at high speed quickly disappearing from sight.

Seven-year-old William was in bed one night recovering from a minor mishap. His father was working nightshift and his mother was sound asleep in bed. William looked across the room because some movement had attracted his attention. Standing next to a table he saw a figure with another one standing behind the first. They were not very tall and the one closest to him stared without blinking through round, quite large eyes, right at him. William noticed long snake-like things on the tops of their heads. He thought they were snakes because they were wriggling and moving. Both figures were doing something at the table with one still staring directly at William while the other one moved around. William now observed another figure over by the window, which also seemed to be staring at him. This third figure looked exactly like the other two. Then in a type of voice that he’d never heard before, one of the figures said “go to sleep little boy.” The eyes and the voice seemed almost hypnotic to William and he gradually fell asleep. At no time did he ever felt frightened by these figures.

A woman was asleep in her home when a light suddenly awakened her behind her window. She was then apparently taken up in a beam of light, which went through the window. She was then met by about 10 short beings. These had large egg shaped heads with large dark almond shaped eyes. They had slit mouth and nose and very small ears. They wore silver suits and gloves on four fingered hands. They seemed to move around in quick and short movements. They communicated by using telepathy assuring her that they meant no harm. She was then examined on a table inside a circular room. The table resembled a slab of marble and it warmed quickly making her feel comfortable. The beings stood around her and a light from above shone on her. Something was done to her throat.

5 witnesses, Joao Rodel, (owner of a factory called Importadora Auto-Globo) his wife, his 2 children and an employee were fishing at a local lagoon when suddenly a disc-shaped object about 30 meters in diameter descended and hovered at about 200 meters in altitude. The disc then descends to about a meter from the ground. It brightly illuminates its surroundings and the grass seems agitated under it. A figure is then seen within the light on the cupola, is about 1.80m in height. The light then disappears and only a cylindrical shaped light remains about 80m in height and 50cm in diameter. Soon the humanoid appears again. He is carrying some kind of flashlight and seems to look down at the ground, apparently looking at the water on both sides of the UFO. He then re-enters the UFO through the vertical beam of light. Soon after, the disc emits an oblique beam of light towards the sky and then a small sphere (1.50m in diameter) exits the disc and hovers over the water. A few minutes later a second sphere goes out. These two spheres then approached the witnesses who become frightened and leave the area.

The 10-year old witness who was at the being treated by means of hypnosis found herself suddenly inside a flying saucer. Three men onboard lay on gravity couches as the craft approached a planet, then entered a hole in a mountain, and approached a city. She explored various buildings and saw a place where saucers were made, also were the beings eaten. The sun smaller than on Earth, but the moon was larger and the constellations the same. She had to wear a helmet to go outside, since the air was not breathable. The craft had three globes beneath it, while the beings were both male and female and had black hair. The men wore overalls and the women short dresses. The beings spoke in a language of their own but communicated with her by telepathy.

The witness was cycling to work when he encountered a large hovering object over a nearby field. The object was silvery metallic and shaped like a huge top. It had a row of portholes around the middle. The witness approached the object and dismounted from his bicycle. As he watched, a shaft descended from the center of the object and with it a man that appeared to be standing on a platform. He wore a dark overall and a close fitting helmet. The witness then noticed a bluish flash from one of the portholes and he suddenly fell over, unable to move. The shaft then retracted into the object, which then rose silently away. The witness was then able to move again but felt quite dizzy afterwards.

He wore a blue coverall and with a friendly expression signaled the witness to stop. He grabbed the witness by his hand and apparently using mental telepathy invited him onboard an object that hovered above a nearby, secluded field. Inside the witness sat on a chair in a small compartment that had a triangular shaped window. He was asked if he wanted to take a trip, he indicated that he would want to see the pyramids of Egypt again. A few moments later he looked out the triangular shaped window and was able to see them. He was then taken back to the same field and then he returned home.

The 3-year old witness remembers sitting on the edge of the bed. There was a pulsating green glow coming in through the window of the bedroom. Everything was very silent. Very calm, almost in a detached state he heard footsteps coming up the back steps and the back door open. The footsteps approach his bedroom and the door is flung open. Moments later a blond haired man and woman enter the bedroom. They are wearing a one-piece suit that reminds the witness of his pajamas with the feet built into them. The color is dull silver. The humanoids are the size of his parents; the woman is somewhat smaller than the man. They stand there looking at the witness as he sits on the bed staring at them. They approached to within 3 ft of the witness and say hello and then call him by his name. They spoke in an accent just like the local New Englanders. The witness asks who they were and he is told that they are his friends. The woman adds that he does not remember them but that one day he will. The woman tells him that they had come to visit from time to time to help him learn “big things”, they seemed to be speaking in terms understandable to a 3-year old. The witness wants to know why but he is told that they cannot tell him yet. They tell him that is time to leave and that it was time for him to go back to sleep. They tell him not to look at the light outside. He lies down and covers up and the man leading the way, they turn around and open the door walking out and closing the door behind them. He hears them walk out the back door. The witness then hears a kind of hum and a bright green light momentarily shines through the window. He gets sleepy and falls asleep. (The witness was to have further encounters, all the memories of the encounters came back to him unexpectedly in 1989).

The witness, a painter, was occupied painting the landscape when he noticed a circular silvery machine slowly coming down in a vertical descent into a nearby clearing. The object was about 8 to 10 m in diameter, topped by a dome, and was about 50 meters from the witness. A type of door opened slowly and a person wearing a gray brown combination suit and a helmet descended to the ground. After taking a closer look at the being the witness noticed that it was a woman, of great beauty, with fair wicks of hair exceeding the lower edges and the sides of the helmet. She was smiling and remained 5 to 6 meters from the object. The woman then collected a certain number of small stones, which she aligned, two by two on the ground between her and the witness. There were 10 stone pairs. She pointed her index finger towards the witness, and then the to first stone pair. She indicated to the other stone pairs and pointed to herself and then to various points of the horizon. The witness understood that this meant that she has established contacts with 10 other people. The witness expressed his desire to visit the object, but she answered in incomprehensible words and the witness understood that she promised to return three days later. The witness return later and again encountered the landed object and its female occupant. This time he was given tangible proof of the encounter in the form of a 45 cm cylinder shaped metallic object that weighted about 2.5 kg. As he held the object it transformed itself into a kind of opalescent matter. He was supposedly able to see great distances when he looked through the object. A later visit to the site by the investigator and the witness caused the witness to become sick and leave the area. He was later supposedly harassed by mysterious strangers dressed in black and soon after disappeared, his whereabouts unknown.

Doors were barred in Hong Kong as the police searched for a hairy beast, said by terrified residents to be a shaggy animal over 6 ft tall. One man, a village gardener named Law Chiu had fought it and lived. The thing attacked him about 50 yards from the family temple. It was covered with long, shaggy gray hair. It stood upright when it came at him. He punched it in the stomach but the creature fell on him and they grappled for some time. The creature then went away, loping on all fours. Some time after that a woman saw a strange animal galloping past her vegetable garden on four legs, and as proof she exhibited large triangular footprints in the soft earth. They were unlike those made by a man or ape.

Location. Karachi, Pakistan
Date: March 20 1955
Time: afternoon
Several witnesses onboard a British aircraft approaching the city at 3,000 feet spotted a strange orangey-bronze colored sphere hovering over the area. Among the witnesses was John Parker a British air force man. After the craft landed the men headed towards Karachi on a convoy of vehicles and again spotted the same or similar object hovering low over the city. This time the object resembled a disc, and apparently was hovering directly over the city. The military personnel on the convoy estimated the object to be hovering at about 300-400 ft above the ground. As the convoy turned a corner they encountered thousands of people massed ahead of them, most had knelt to the ground with their hands clasped, as if praying, only they were looking straight up at the disc. The crowd impeded the convoy of buses to continue so the men, including Parker disembarked and joined the crowd in staring at the object. There was no panic among the crowd. Carefully stepping over and around people, who were either knelt or crouched, Frank and some of the other men eventually came to a stop some 60 yards from the underside of the disc. They estimated the disc to have been at least 150ft across and two to three stories high. The craft was now hovering about 125ft off the ground, and the men saw what they could only describe as perfectly aligned rivets on the object. It appeared to be made out of a bronze colored metal, complete with catwalks, ladders, portholes and aerials. At the underside they saw a large black hole. They also saw what looked like fans and Parker counted eight rotors, and every few seconds there would be a “whooshing” sound and that created sparks and an array of laser-like effects. Whenever this occurred, the entire craft would swing to the left and right and then come back again. This happened several times leading Parker to believe that the craft was experiencing engine problems. Every now and then the craft ejected smoke towards the ground and this gave off a strong smell of oil, but curiously, this never reached the ground, it just seemed to evaporate. The craft made a constant noise not dissimilar to jet engine propulsion, but nothing as loud. Parker got the impression that he could see people, or the shapes of people on the other side of the windows, but he couldn’t be sure. At the top of the saucer they could see a translucent dome, which was lit from the inside and gave off a pinkish red light. There were red, green and blue flashing lights outside the dome. Another curious observation was that the craft looked heavily stained, as if it had traveled some distance in order to collect all this muck and dust. Incredibly after observing the craft for some time, Parker and his friends left the square and went for a drink, they did not see the object depart.

The five year old witness was out in the fields in order to bring the cows home for his father to milk, as his brothers and grandfather fed the rest of the livestock. Suddenly near the farm a very large object white in color and oval-shaped landed on the road in front of him. The witness could feel warmth coming from the silent object. Somehow the witness did not feel any fear and approached the object, touching it. It felt cool to the touch, despite the heat. His next memory was of seeing two “people” come towards him and stand in front of him, one of the figures who was wearing a blue shirt and white pants extended his hand out to the witness and then led him to a doorway on the side of the landed object. His next memory was of standing in the road with his cowboy boots in his hands and his grandfather running to him asking where have he been, it was already 0130A in the morning 9 hours later. He tried to tell his grandfather what had occurred but his grandparent told him to keep quiet about the whole thing. Later his grandfather told him that while searching for him he had seen a flash and then saw a bright object lift up and take off at high speed, when he ran to the location he found him standing on the road holding his boots. The witness only has brief memory flashes of what occurred inside. No details are given.

On closing the gate to the courtyard of his residence, M Droguet was temporarily blinded by a beam of bluish green light, and paralyzed, either by the beam or by fear. Then he saw an enormous object hovering 5 ft above the courtyard. Near it were 2 short men wearing metallic one-piece gray overalls, and bulky helmets; they somewhat resembled the Michelin “tire man” trademark. On the abdomen they had black boxes with wires attached. One seemed to be picking up pebbles. They walked with difficulty. After a few minutes they entered an opening in the under part of the craft by means of a ladder; the vessel rose vertically without sound, its outer part rotating, and its light then went out.

Robert Hunicutt was driving home at 0330A when his headlights illuminated 3 short figures standing beside the road. The one closest to him was holding something like a rod or chain above his head, and sparks were passing along this. As Hunicutt got out of the car, this one bent down and seemed to “tie it around his ankles.” The beings were about 3.5 ft tall and gray, with very wide lipless mouths, & corrugations rather than hair on their heads; their chests were lopsided, with a very prominent bulge on the right side. They seemed to be wearing garments only below the waist. Hunicutt watched them at 20 ft distance for 4 or 5 minutes before he drove away to wake up the local police chief. He noted a strong odor “like fresh cut alfalfa, with a trace of almonds.”

The 15-year old witness was having difficulty in falling asleep when suddenly she heard heavy footsteps approaching her room, somebody entered the room and then she saw a very tall human like figure standing by her bed, piercing shafts of light came from its eyes that almost had a hypnotic effect on the witness. He asked the witness to follow him, they both entered the dining room where a gray mist extended from the floor to the ceiling, the witness grabbed the man’s hand and entered the mist. Inside they were suddenly in a metallic room that felt like an elevator, they both then entered a corridor, then a room filled with bright pink light, there were numerous instruments and multi colored lights about. There were eight to nine more persons seated at various control panels, they were all very tall and had black hair. She saw a screen where an image of the earth could be seen. Then she was led to another room where she ate a meal consisting of fruits only. She was eventually taken back to the metallic “elevator” where she felt a downward motion; she walked through the gray mist again and was back in her apartment.

These helmets had flat circular rims, like World War I helmets. No features were visible. Near the dwarfs was a square metallic box without a lid, and they were taking stones from a dry broken dry stone wall and putting them in this box. Their movements were very slow, as though under a heavy weight. The boys watched for about 2 minutes before running away. No UFO was seen.

Emma Roberts, 8, was cooking potatoes over a small fire with her sister and a group of older children. Suddenly Emma became aware of strange entities or “beings” as she describes them. She found she couldn’t take her eyes off them. Her sister was frightened by the appearance of these “visitors” and Emma told her to run home. Emma on the other hand was fascinated by the sight and continued to watch, wondering all the time who or what these people might be. The two entities she had first spotted were now joined by several more. All of them seemed focused on the ground and completely ignored the children. Emma now recalled that they were floating rather than walking and that all these beings looked identical. They were tall, thin, very pale skinned, wearing long, floating, and plain white garments with white caps. Emma was particularly struck by their eyes, which were noticeably deep and penetrating, within distinctly pointed faces. All at once, as if a spell had been broken, one of the entities turned towards Emma, almost as if he had “tuned in” to her presence. He moved up the slope towards her, looking not at her but through her. All the visitors then turned and followed the first. Emma then turned and ran.

On a road between Karhula and Huruksela near Kotka a young man was driving his first car, a Russian Moskvits, when in a straightaway in the middle of the forest he noticed how three creatures resembling bears of penguins ran from the woods to the road some 100 meters away. When he drove closer, the creatures began to gesture for him to stop, which he almost did. The creatures at once ran to his car and tried to open the doors, which luckily were locked. The young man was terrified when he saw that their faces resembled that of Chinese or Eskimos. Their hands were covered by dark coveralls they wore. Scared, he gesture to the creatures that he would drive to the side of the road a little bit farther on and stop. When the creatures let go of his car so that he could drive to the side of the road, he accelerated his vehicle at high speed. The creatures seemed angry, and gesturing with their hands ran some tens of meters after his car in a clumsy fashion. Soon, accompanied by friends the driver returned to the spot but here was nothing to see. Later he found out that others in that area had found that there was a place where the ground vegetation was all burnt in a round area some 7-8 meters in diameter.

Three lumberjacks were out in a wooded area busy cutting trees when they suddenly heard a loud crashing sound. They then saw a cigar shaped craft flying very low between the trees, this object then apparently crashed into a clearing next to a river. There was no sound only a gigantic flash of light in the vicinity. Seconds later came a vacuum type wave that made all the witnesses tumble forward. Everything then seemed eerily silent. All three men went to the crash site but found no debris or fire. But close by they found a small man that was surrounded by a white light, he was apparently injured. One of the men touched the being and received an electrical shock. The small man then opened his eyes and spoke to the men, telling them that he was dying and to be calm. He was described as very well built with broad shoulders and normal features; he had yellowish skin with very light hair, small hands with slender fingers. He wore a reddish metallic uniform, which was skintight; he also wore a broad silvery belt with a very large buckle, which shone slightly in a light blue shade. In the center it had the initials “U V.” He spoke for two hours before he died. He was put into a bag that smelled like sulfur, the bag had been provided by the humanoid, and thrown into the river where he apparently disintegrated.

The main witness, John and a friend Barry Brock both teenagers at the time were reclining on the lawn discussing the infinity of space and the stars when, without warning they were “sucked” up by some type of powerful energy into a room or enclosure that had a huge window through which they were looking at what appeared to be a dense star cluster. John’s intuition led him to believe that they were at a great distance from the planet Earth and that frightened him. His next recollection was commenting to his friend how bright and clear the stars were and Barry agreeing. His next recollection was of Barry screaming and a strong energy pulling them through space back to the place on the lawn where they had originally been. They were both now in a standing position and simultaneously both screamed and ran into the center of the street. Barry grabbed the sides of his head with his hands and began to jump and down screaming that he had lost his mind. The witness only had brief recollections of the event years later but at one point was able to recall seeing a very tall being with large black wraparound eyes walking slowly up to him and his friend Barry screaming nearby.

A local district militia officer, P. N. Karpov was on patrol when he suddenly encountered a huge 2.5m to 3 meter tall hairy humanoid near the banks of the River Moskva. The frightened policeman grabbed his gun and opened fire on the hairy giant. But the gigantic hairy figure escaped inside the bushes and disappeared into thin air. The militiaman then inspected the bushes but did not find any trace of the entity. After 1955 the village of Kolomenskoye became part of the growing metropolis of Moscow and its fruit gardens and wooded area substantially decreased. Other reports indicated that the hairy giant entities have been in the area for hundreds of years, reportedly able to slip in into our reality from other dimensions.

5-year old Tom Bricken remembers playing in the kitchen of his house with his toy soldiers when he heard the back door slam. He assumed that it was one of his family members and heard someone walk into the kitchen. Soon he felt someone staring at him and when he turned around he saw what he could only describe as a robot or a “machine-man” figure. His next memory was of being taken from the kitchen and put in a sleep-like state. Several short aliens with large hairless heads, completely black eyes, no white in them then carried him, but later upon looking at them closely he was able to see a pupil. It was later communicated to him that they had evolved in such manner because they hailed from a planet with two suns. They also had small ears; small mouths, and wore dark blue overall uniforms with silvery boots. He was carried outside across the driveway where he noticed the shadow of the neighbor’s house on his house and then taken to the backyard where he saw a hovering craft. A pole of some sort came from the dome of the craft and was making contact with the power lines of the neighbor’s house. He thought that they were somehow “borrowing” electricity. Suddenly a tripod-landing gear appeared and the craft landed. He noticed that the landing gear formed a perfect triangle. He was then taken onboard and examined and then taken to a sort of waiting room where he met a different alien, almost human-like with round black eyes, an environmental suit with a transparent helmet, what appeared to be a breathing apparatus, an antenna-like protrusion on the right side of the helmet and some type of equipment strapped on the chest area with red straps. In that room he saw another person, which he thought could had been his sister being examined. Soon he was brought to the control room where the commander, one of the short hairless humanoids, but wearing a light gold or peach suit transmitted some type of report into a console of what had transpired. Soon he was brought back into the house where he seemed to snap out of a trance-like state standing in the kitchen and staring at the wall. He further described the inside of the object as having curved walls, dimly lit with black lighting, a room that resembled a doctor’s office, he also recalled seeing what appeared to have been an oscilloscope in the control room. The next day the neighbor found strange markings on the ground in the backyard.

The witness, his wife and two friends were all sitting in their car outside an inn near Cheltenham, when an object appeared over treetops about half a mile away. It traveled towards them, then, making a near right-angled turn, vanished behind trees. The sharply-defined appearance of the object did not change as it turned, and this resembled a row of lighted shop windows through which outlines of “objects” could be seen. From each end of the UFO blue green rays were visible and a noise was heard described as a mixture of electric motor and landing jet. Its speed was estimated as fairly fast—about that of an airliner at touchdown. The total length of the observation was about 15 minutes.

He quickly pulled off to the side of the road, fearing he was having a heart attack. As son as he stopped the car he heard a noise from behind the vehicle. He then saw a cigar shaped object come from behind his car and stop across the road from him. It was hovering 8 feet above the ground. At this point Martin felt compelled to get out of his car and walk across the road. As he came around the rear end of the object he encountered a medium size humanoid female wearing a tight fitting silvery outfit. He apparently had a brief conversation with the woman and then got back into his car. He then watched the object take off at a very sharp angle, easily clearing the nearby treetops. The object was silent and it a matter of seconds it was gone.

It felt like the “hand” had huge claws and “furry” palms. It came up from behind her, grabbed her left leg, gripped her knee and pulled her under. She kicked and fought herself free. It pulled her under again. Although both women could not see the thing, they were screaming and yelling to scare it away. Finally, Mrs. Johnson lunged for Mrs. Lamble’s inner tube, and the loud “thump” apparently scared it away, as if released its grip. Back on shore Mrs. Johnson received treatment for her scratches and marks on her legs. According to Fortean investigator Terry Colvin Mrs. Johnson had a palm-print shaped green stain below her knee that could not be removed for several days. Interestingly Colvin learned that an individual who identified himself as an Air Force colonel visited the Johnson couple.

The witness was walking down a road when he saw a rapidly approaching red ball of light. As the light came closer it turned to a bright white-hot color, as it got even closer it seemed to cool down and turn red again. The witness then began floating up towards the object, which now appeared metallic. There were sudden sparks and the witness passed out. The only thing he was able to remember about being onboard the craft was two pairs of hands touching him and checking his penis. Later he was released and found himself in the middle of the street looking at another object hovering above a nearby storage shed.

A young shepherd heard a whistling sound and a dark mass appeared to fall from the sky, with a rush of air that swept him from his feet. The object looked like a machine, with an opening where a stairway became visible. 2 occupants were seen; one had a reddish face, a baldhead, & a row of white very fine teeth. The craft was round, about 11 ft in diameter & 6 ft high, lighted with neon-like light. The occupants gathered some plants & the craft flew away.

The young witness was playing in a hilly wooded area when he heard a loud whistling sound coming from on top of a hill. Both the witness and a friend went up to investigate but found nothing; they then went to the nearby coal yard and became separated. The witness then walked towards a clearing in the woods and saw two figures standing by a tree, as he came closer to them he realized that they were not human and ran away but suddenly lost all control and was compelled to go where the creatures stood. The figures were short & humanoid in appearance and wore clear plastic helmets with a yellow rim; they also wore a one-piece uniform, red on top and blue pants with a silvery belt and a stripe with the letters “G A F” printed on it. He was then led to a nearby triangular shaped object and taken inside. There he saw numerous monitors and other equipment. He was made to sit in front of a gigantic white screen where he was shown images of other ships and the humanoids constructing them. He was apparently taken to a location resembling a city but was eventually brought back.

The witness had the impression that the figures were extremely agitated for some unknown reason. Moments later the figures noticed the witness then he ran towards the school in order to obtain additional witnesses.

The main witness and his friend had left home early in the morning in order to go hunting for the day. They parked their car at the edge of a field about 400A and leaned back to get some sleep before daylight arrived. At about 0415A, directly in front of them a light appeared. It looked like the cabin of a small two-seater helicopter which was making a very loud noise, not unlike the sounds of engine trouble. The light came over the top of the hill immediately in front of the men, perhaps a hundred or so yards away. They were in a narrow valley, surrounded on their right by woods; behind them slightly to their left was a steep wooded hill. To their left at about 45% toward their front there was a large barn, presumably used by local farmers for hay storage. No other buildings or structures were visible. The lighted noisy vehicle appeared to be quite small. The lighted area of the craft was all they could see, the rest of the vehicle was hidden by darkness. In a few seconds the noise diminished. And then the craft moved very slowly out and over the field to a point just behind the barn, slightly to the right of the barn when looking from the witness’s vantage point. It appeared to be about 150 ft more or less from their car and about 50 to 60 ft from the ground. The craft just sat there for a while, appearing suspended in the air, now completely silent. As the witnesses watched awestruck for about 15 minutes they began to notice that the craft was shaped like two saucers, the top one being inverted and the two saucer edges being separated by a vertical external side which appeared to be about four or five feet high, not unlike the appearance of a hamburger. The lower part appeared rounded and sloping with a flat bottom. Above this bottom section, was a straight sided cylinder with a brushed aluminum or lead-like appearance, the same as all the other external sides. On top of this section was visible an area resembling glass, they were not able to discern if the glass was clear or opaque. It seemed like another 15 or 20 minutes before this windowed area came to life. There came from behind the windows, a series of lights, changing from red, to pink, to yellow, to blue, to green, yellow, to pink to red, all the time rotating around the craft. On top of this rotating lighted area was also another windowed area, separated from the other section by a vertical side of not more than three or four feet in height. These windows were wide panels, perhaps four or five feet in height and perhaps six or seven feet long, each of the panels being separated by a single vertical strip. These windows were definitely opaque, and through which they could discern a lighted area behind the glass panels. The light was what they described as “bright white” not unlike that of a very fluorescent lamp or a halogen lamp. The top of this section was rounded, ending in a flat top. The fourth, or top section, was much rounded being topped with a short round vertical area of perhaps four or five feet in diameter and about a foot and a half to two feet high, topped with a rounded, tapered roof with a flat top of a diameter of about a foot or two at the top. Amazed and wanting to make contact the witnesses decided to flash the car headlights a few times. They did this several times and noticed that the craft’s lighted window panel area dimmed and brightened, possible as a response. Suddenly, silhouettes of three or four beings appeared in the opaque windows. They could see their shapes, but because the glass appeared opaque or frosted, they were unable to tell what the beings actually looked like, but their general appearance was that of humans. Exasperated the men witness continued to flash the headlights of the car in a desperate attempt to establish contact. Suddenly there was an extremely bright flash which caused them to cover their eyes; the flash appeared to come from the exact center of the flat bottom of the craft. After what seemed to be 15 to 20 seconds of extreme blackness, the whole valley lit up. The light was very bright, much brighter than daylight. It was a pure white light very difficult if not impossible to describe. After about 5minutes the light quickly faded into complete darkness. This period of darkness remained for what they guessed to be about 5 minutes or so. The human-like silhouettes were no longer visible. Soon after a bright shiny globe appeared from the exact center of the bottom of the craft, the same spot where the flash of light had appeared. It lowered itself slowly about 15 or 20 ft and then slowly moved to their left, and then rising slightly faster in an arc, to a point above the craft, stopping behind and to the right of the craft. Over the next several minutes several more globes appeared in like manner, finally positioning themselves slightly above and to the side of the craft. These globes remained suspended in the air for well over what seemed to be a half hour or more. Soon each globe returned to the craft following each other in what appeared to be reverse order. The globes were about 2 ft in diameter. Soon the area around the witness began to get lighter as daylight approach and they began to hear a loud, “clank, clank” sound which sounded like someone pounding a steel pipe with a very heavy hammer. This lasted a minute or two. A few seconds later the noise stopped and both men felt a low frequency growling noise which quickly increased in pitch. The rotating colored lights of the object then went out and the craft immediately moved straight up in a vertical plane, until it appeared as only a bright dot in the morning sky, about the size of the head of a small pin. The dot stayed motionless and disappeared when the Sun came up. The main witness never hunted again and the other man never discussed the incident with anyone until he died.

The being then floats into a hovering bowl shaped craft nearby. The being is described as less than four-foot tall, wearing a tight white skull cap, with an egg shaped hairless head, waxy grayish complexion, slit like mouth, tiny nose and eyes like two large dark slits. The witness floats towards the object and enters right through a wall. Inside the object it is extremely cold. The being along with several other smaller similar humanoids then placed the witness on a silver table where clamps appear. A blood sample is taken from her and then she is later returned to her room.

Manuel Gonzalez Vazquez and his neighbor Erminda where in a field tending some cattle when they felt a slight tremor that lasted for a few minutes. Moments later they saw an undetermined figure inside “screen-like” image in the sky. The figure had a definite human shape. Seconds later they spotted a second flying figure approaching under the clouds. As the figure approached they could tell that it was a female figure, flying at 3 meters above the ground. It resembled an 18-year old girl, a little over a meter in height. Her hair was gathered up in a bun and was wearing a light turquoise colored cloak. The woman flew by the two witnesses and turned to look at them but did not say anything. It eventually glided away and disappeared from sight.

After eating dinner one of the witnesses walked up to the terraced roof to relax, suddenly he saw an illuminated disc-shaped object descend low overhead. He called up the other witnesses and all were able to see the hovering disc and what appeared to be an observation deck and inside the illuminated compartment three man-like occupants, with very pale skin and wearing white gloves and coveralls. The figures moved around and one of them seemed to pat another on the back and laugh. Apparently one of the occupants then noticed the witnesses staring at them and then moved some levers on an instrument panel. Soon after this, the craft shot up and incredibly speed and vanished from sight.

Italian physicist Narcico Genovese said he was part of an international group of 98 scientists working in a secret underground laboratory in the Andean jungles. At 1700 on the above date, 5 objects like flattened spheres visited their camp, and one landed on their landing field. The UFOs were 23 ft in diameter, with a rotating equatorial band 3 ft wide. 4 Martian humanoids, taller than we are, came out & established friendly relations. A month later 5 UFOs returned, this time with a larger lens shaped object, 230 ft in diameter & 50 ft high. 40 beings emerged, 28 of whom “stayed on Earth to help the scientists perfect their own spaceships.” On October 12 1956, 2 earth built spacecraft carrying humans & Martians traveled to Mars, which they found to be “physically much like the earth, though it’s social & political climate was different.”

About to go to bed, Mrs Roberta Jacobs saw a red orange glare in the sky, and a golden object came to hover over the barn. It resembled a cup inverted on an elliptical saucer, about the size of a jet plane; the disc rotated at high speed. In the lower part of the dome she could see forms moving. “Like a person walking in front of a light—not one but many things.” She felt nauseated, & felt that they were observing her. The object rapidly departed.
