Summary: The 16-year old witness had gotten up to get a drink when he looked out the kitchen window and saw a huge light descending towards him outside. It suddenly stopped in mid-air. He ran to wake his parents but he was ignored. Suddenly he heard a voice in his head telling him not to be afraid, that he was special. He then felt calm and began communicating mentally with the light. The light seemed to maneuver at his command. His next memory was of waking up in the kitchen around dawn. Later he would remember being inside a huge object with a line of about 20 people, behind and in front of him. They went through a compartment that was apparently a waterless shower. The occupants of the craft, apparently human like beings, told the witness that they were from the “future,” that many were historians trying to learn from the past. They also told the group that the human race disrespected other living creatures and was immature and not ready for contact.

Summary: Jeff Bach was driving back home after leaving a friend’s house, as far as he could see he was alone in the road. As he drove a few miles down the road he could see in the distance about 8 “people” walking across the highway. These figures were walking across the 2 northbound lanes he was in. They were slightly spread out and appeared to be dressed in a sort of blue flowing robes or something similar. Concerned and wondering where these strange figures had come from, he approached them. Suddenly one of them turned around, and walked back into the lanes, it raised its arm in an apparent attempt to flag him down, when he did this some of the others started rushing back to the witness car as well. Frightened the witness gunned his engine and headed directly to the lead figure, which incredibly did not budge. At the last minute he swerved back into his lane in order to avoid hitting the figure and drove away from the area. The figures were about 6-feet tall.

Summary: Teenager Nina Grinyova was walking along a riverbank when she saw a figure standing some 25 meters away. She said the figure was facing her and was piercing her very soul with his glance. Its eyes were big and glowing, and all of his body was sort of glowing. He was dark and at the same time somewhat silvery. He was about 2 meters tall, very hefty in appearance, square, and straight from shoulder to hip, with a short neck, the head put forward, the arms hanging down freely. The witness walked towards it and attempted to attract its attention with a rubber toy shaped like a bird. But the creature made a sharp turn and quickly went down the slope toward the river. It moved gracefully and very fast, unlike a human.

9-year old Alex Driscoll was walking to school on Gammons Lane when he saw a 6 ft tall or taller bird-like creature that was standing behind a gate on the side of a house. The gate was about 18inches of the ground and about 5 or 6 ft high, so all he could see was its feet and lower legs below the gate and its neck and head above the fence. At first Driscoll thought it was somebody wearing a costume until he saw its feet that were webbed and orange in color, like giant duck’s feet. It did not have any feathers, but thick black fur on its head and Driscoll presumed on its body. Its face was similar to the “Big Bird” character in Sesame Street, except for the fur. It had an orange beak, larger than a duck’s. The witness left the area and did not see the strange creature depart.

The witness (source) was sitting at the University of Pennsylvania library reading a UFO book when he noticed a strange figure standing in front of him. The man was very gaunt looking, very pale. He was about 6-feet, 1 inch tall, weighed about 140 pounds and wore a black suit, black shoes, black string tie and a bright white shirt. The suit was loose and it looked as though he had slept in it for three days. The strange sat down and asked the witness what he was doing. The witness replied that he was reading about “flying saucers”, the man asked if he believed in the reality of the phenomena. Receiving and indecisive reply the man became irritated and screamed that they were “the most important fact of the century.” With a single movement the man got up, put his hand on the witness shoulder, and told him to “go well in his purpose,” he then quickly left.

80-year old Lupita Hernandez who was living in the isolated and enigmatic region known as “La Zona del Silencio” (Zone of Silence) reported receiving regular visits from two tall, handsome, green-eyed men—sometimes accompanied by an equally green eyed woman—who customarily asked her to fill a large aluminum canteen with water. Hernandez noted that whenever these startling visitors departed, they would leave in their wake “a very pretty odor, like perfume or incense.” On one occasion, Hernandez asked to come along with the trio. They complied, and she felt herself being transported to the landing site of their vehicle; Hernandez allegedly “did not fell a sense of speed as she flew through the air to the site.”

Two months after seeing a ball shaped flashing light maneuvering over the area that emitted a “whirling” sound, 14-year old Maria Korn, was visited by two strange men at the Convent of Jesus and Mary, where she had been living. She was shown to the dining room where the two strangers met her. Sitting at a large table were two men dressed in black. As soon as she saw the two men she felt cold and put on her jacket. They told her they were from a local psychiatrist office. She noticed that their eyes were of a brownish grayish shade. During what she termed polite conversation she noticed some strange things about the visitors. They looked the same almost as if they were identical twins and their skin was smooth and featureless, no beard or “shadow” evident. Their hair was shiny black, each brushed in the same style, and their suits seemed brand new, fitted perfectly as if tailor maid. One of them asked Maria if anything strange had happened recently, but she refused to tell him about her experience. At that point the lunch bell rang and they asked what it was for, they were not wearing watches and asked at one point what time it was. Upon leaving she shook their hands and they felt ice cold to the touch. The men walked to the doorway, exactly in step with each other. They walked outside to a waiting black vehicle. They had a chauffeur also dressed in black. The car did not have any mirrors and the windows were very dark tinted. The license plate had a black background. She caught a glimpse into the vehicle when one of them opened the door, but all she could see was darkness. The car then drove away without making any sound at all. She saw the car turn out of the convent gate but did not see it moving up the hill that leads to the convent.

This amazing incident occurred to the crew of a new model Russian Tupolev strategic bomber (Bear-class long range bomber) during one of its test flights to Tiksi airbase in a remote area in northwestern Siberia. As reported by the test pilot, a colonel in the Russian Air Force, Alexander Miheev, who was commander of the flight crew. On their way to Tiksi the crew suddenly lost control over the aircraft and the giant 4-engine turbo jet strategic bomber & missile carrier was suddenly sucked up into some huge object hovering above. The shocked crew of 7 men saw unknown green lights and numerous wires. All of the men experienced a burning feeling in their heads and a strong headache. All flight instruments malfunctioned at once and went out of control. The aircraft had been apparently lifted up into a huge hangar inside an alien spacecraft. Colonel A. Miheev also reported that they saw a greenish door emitting a “poisonous” green fluorescent light, which apparently led to the interior of the UFO. Then the crewmembers heard voices in their headphones. The voices sounded quite earthly and spoke in pure Russian which told them to remain calm and forbid them from getting out of the cabin and into the alien spacecraft. The aircraft’s engine was apparently still in operation. The aliens themselves were not in sight, but their voices were loud and clear. After the aircraft was apparently scanned and studied by the aliens it was let go. The giant UFO then opened a huge cargo bay door and the “Tupolev” descended out and continued its flight to the Tiksi aerodrome. After landing in Tiksi the crew decided not to tell their commanders about the incident, convinced that no one would believe them and fearing that they would be deemed insane. Apparently the aliens were interested in the strategic Russian long range bomber since it carried nuclear bombs. Other pilots of similar aircraft reported similar events. One aircraft flying between Tomsk and Omsk disappeared from the radar screen for 3 minutes. During the disappearance all the crew’s watches stopped and no one asked unnecessary questions after the landing.

One figure was dressed in white and the other in dark green. Both outfits were one piece and very tight fitting. Both were man-like and the witness felt a great sense of tranquility come over her. The figure in white approached the vehicle and looked at the witness. She noticed that it had black hair and small shiny eyes; no other facial features were noted. Then the figure in dark green approached the car window, he also had black hair. Both seemed to glide just above the ground.

The 9-10 year old witness remembered seeing gray shadows in her bedroom that frightened her. The forms were dark with caps on their heads. One night she remembered waking up and seeing white humanoids with long skinny arms and legs, almond shaped eyes looking at her and coming towards her. She recalled being in a light-colored room that she walked through, shutting the door behind her. The room appeared to be on a cliff with a huge drop. She also remembered being levitated on her back in the dark with stars rushing past. At one point she was apparently tested to see how much pain she could endure.

Dante Franch was at his home when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his body and a bright light surrounded him. He lost all control of his body as he felt rising up into the air. He seemed to travel on a beam of light for about a kilometer to a distant object that hovered high above his house. Once inside the object he was confronted by two women and a man who communicated telepathically with him reassuring him that he would not be harmed, the aliens were human-like in appearance. He was told to lie on a cot, while the man approached him and seemed to scan him with a brown panel 30 x 40 cm in diameter, which he passed over the witness body. Franch could not move but he felt at peace. Inside the object everything was luminous and the walls were curved and he saw what appeared to be a command console off to one side. One of the women then waved a large diamond-like stone very close to the witness’s forehead without touching it. While she did this she looked at the other aliens and telepathically informs them, “He is ready now”. Finally Franch is deposited back into his home via the same beam of light.

The witness and a friend named Mike were smoking a cigarette in a darkened alley when suddenly about 50 yards away they saw a tall figure that began to walk towards them. As the figure came closer it became apparent that it was over 7 ft tall and totally black in color. It came within 10 ft of the witnesses before they ran away from the area. Another strange detail was that as they ran away from the area, his friend Mike, although he ran too, tried to block the witness from escaping (?) (Was he under some type of mental control?). Mike has never explained why he did that.

Ms M was watching TV when a voice in her head told her to go to a nearby park, where she would see a UFO. After walking to the park, she waited for about an hour then she saw 5 lights in the sky. One of the lights came closer and appeared to be some sort of craft, which hovered about 6m above her. A woman’s voice from the craft told her to sit under a nearby tree, which she did. She then saw a human, male figure, dressed in white T-shirt and shorts, standing looking at her. She held a flower in her hand, which she had picked. The woman’s voice told her to give the flower to the stranger. At this point she blacked out and does not remember anything else, or even how she got home. Several days later a burnt circle of grass was found at the site.
