Summary: Two men were patrolling the edge of a sugarcane field on horseback when suddenly as they neared a bend on the trail the horses stopped and would not move, snorting as if in a panic. The men then noticed what appeared to be a small white sack like “bundle” on the ground near the trail. Both men had the impression that whatever it was, it was a “living” thing. The bundle now began approaching the now terrified horses. One of the men that was armed with a pistol fired several shots at the thing. Both men were then astonished to see that the “bundle” seemed to become larger every time it was shot at. When it almost as large as the horse the men panicked and fled the area on foot leaving the horses behind. The next day both horse were found wandering the fields apparently unharmed.

Location: Linakjula in Kihnu Island, Estonia
Time:
Summary: Yuri Linna, of Estonia, and Russian ufologist Mikhail Gershtein, apparently reported that in Linakjula in Kihnu Island, Estonia, in October 1915 in the evening lit only by the moon, Tiju Vezik of the Nada Estate went to the post office to send mail. As she approached the opening of the gate surrounded by weeds of Koidu Estate to go on the road, she suddenly noticed three strange entities near some houses. They are described as apparently male, of colossal size, and wearing dark clothing. They moved in a line like soldiers without noise, quickly and parallel to the road, near two women who seemed unconscious of their presence. They used to stop and lean briefly, then continue their strange procession. They crossed a field which was about 100 meters away and disappeared under the pine trees. Amazed, Tiju Vezik noted that their head had touched the lower branches of the pine trees, which gave them a height of about 4 meters. Fearing the entities may come back, she went back home.
