1968 HUMANOID SIGHTING REPORTS Compiled by Albert Rosales

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.

Comments: Early abduction report describing human-like occupants. I believe the witness was not hypnotically regressed. Apparently this type of “alien” is able to easily mingle with humans without being noticed. I believe hypnotic regression would have discovered more disturbing information in this case.

Time: night
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.

Comments: There is no additional detail on this intriguing case however I can recall another case also in Turkey where a witness was killed by a huge hairy humanoid that apparently was dropped off by a UFO (1964 Koyulhaisar). This case appears to describe a colony of hairy humanoids living underground. Other cases are on record.

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.

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 sitting with his girlfriend in a parked car and saw a “shadow” behind nearby trees. As he started to get out of the car, this shadow glided to a new position about 20 ft away. Between 4 and 5 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, although nothing unusual was observed.

Emma Grimble, an early riser, was sweeping the upper hallway of her lodging home when she heard a commotion downstairs at the tenant’s mailboxes. Yelling “Get away from those mailboxes,” she rushed downstairs, but was dumbfounded to see two little greenish yellow “men” or creatures clambering around the boxes, 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.

A night security officer was conducting his rounds when he came upon a flat pancake shaped object resting on a courtyard. He approached and could see that it had a transparent dome on top and a circular railing around it. Next to the object were two human-like figures wearing blue overalls and black helmets and gloves. Inside the dome a third figure was moving. The two beings outside seemed to be performing some repairs on the object. The witness walked up in order to offer his help and shone a flashlight at the object. The two figures suddenly scrambled into the object, which emitted a bright, flash and took off.

The witness, Linda was on her way to Junior Achievement class when suddenly bright lights in the sky attracted her. Looking up she saw a hovering elongated cigar shaped object with bright flashing lights. She watched as it descended several hundred feet from her and hovered about 150 feet from the ground. The object made no noise and had a solid row of red and green lights going on and off in sequence along its midsection. It also had five steady bright white lights evenly spaced along the top section. Linda advanced closer to the object just before it rose up, leveled off and moved away into the distance. At the same time she saw a tall man in a dark coat and a dark brimmed hat who was standing close to the object. When she called out to him, he turned and ran down a darkened street.

Witnessed : The True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abductions
– Bud Hopkins

In New York City, on 30 November 1989, at approximately 3:00 am, Linda Cortile, a married mother of two, was seen emerging from an apartment building window 12 storeys above the ground accompanied by three small alien figures. Suspended within a blue beam of light, Linda and her captors were lifted into a large reddish-orange glowing UFO, which then moved off in the direction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Several witnesses, including a world political leader, saw – and later independently corroborated – this event.
