Summary: Four friends, three local police officers and a professor had gone out on a hunting trip and as they drove near the town in the vicinity of a curve they saw about 100 meters away a human like figure, about 2 meters in height, floating about half a meter from the ground. They slowed the vehicle and observed the figure from a close distance. The figure wore a shiny white outfit and his facial features were not visible. He wore a white belt that had a bright rectangular light on the buckle area. They stopped the vehicle about 100 meters away and drove up to the side of the road not knowing what to do. As they sat there they saw through the rearview mirror a huge brilliant object apparently on the ground, oval in shape that emitted a dim uniform light. Afraid they decided to cancel the hunting trip and drove away from the area.

Summary: After suffering a job-related injury to his back the 18-year old witness, Vladimir S. was sent to this region by his family for repose and to seek locals with curative powers which were known to live in the region. His injury required him to walk with a cane. While there he camped, along with several others on a small peninsula by the river Chosovaya. Immediately he was struck by the apparent complete absence of wildlife in the area, including insects in an area with some trees and plants. One night at the end of his stay in the area Vladimir woke up around 0300A in order to satisfy a certain physiological need. At about 20 meters from the tent he noticed a luminous egg-shaped object rising out of the river. Stunned he stood watching as the object hovered in total silence in front of him. The craft was luminous matte yellow in color and apparently translucent which emitted a strong heat that the witness felt engulf his face. Inside the object stood a humanoid about 1.90m in height, with arms tightly held against its body, it had long hair and the witness was unable to see its feet. Suddenly from the top of the object a green beam of light shot out striking the witness full on the face like a photo flash, he was unable to see anything for several seconds. When he was able to see again he noticed the object flying away into the distance and disappearing from sight. Very soon after this incident the witness recovered completely from his injuries and did not necessitate a cane to walk every again.

A 31-year old woman was doing household chores when she suddenly felt ill. Suddenly three little beings appeared in front of her. One of the beings was five-foot tall, slender and with an elongated face. The other two were much shorter, with chubby, broader faces. All three had large eyes, very small noses, and mouth. All wore monk like cloaks. Telepathically the taller being told the witness that she had to go with them. She refused and next recalled seeing her fiancé at 1730 when he arrived home. A hypnotic regression proves fruitless.

As it came closer he could see three beings inside the transparent object. One was standing in the middle dome while the other two were seated besides the taller standing being. The middle taller being, seemed to be pointing at the witness. The object was moving in a zigzag fashion. The tall being was wearing a long red robe that covered his feet. It had a gray beard and small Oriental eyes. The two smaller beings were bluish in color and had what appeared to be an oxygen hose coming out of their mouths.

After a bitter family dispute the witness drove his truck to a prairie area southwest of town. He parked the vehicle and began walking around the area. He then heard a rustling sound from behind the sagebrush and then saw a tall figure approach. The figure left, then the witness heard a whistling noise and became paralyzed. A tube suddenly came down engulfing the witness and transporting him up into a hovering object. He floated through some kind of passage that took him into a room where he landed on a glass like table. As he lay there four tall figures came into the room. They began to examine him using a strange scanning device. All the data picked up by the device was fed into a peculiar gray screen where the witness saw his internal organs. The beings were described as seven-foot tall, grayish in color, with 3-fingered hands. They were friendly and wore flexible armor type suits and dark opaque helmets. After awhile the beings conversed among themselves and released the witness down the same glass like elevator or tube.

The main witness and a friend were walking back home along a darkened street when they suddenly heard a whistling sound at the end of the street, looking up, they saw above a nearby house a hovering dark mass, in the center of the “mass” there were several circular multicolored lights, the mass emitted three flashes of light and passed over the witnesses, who terrified ran to their house. Later along with his father the main witness searched the area but found nothing. Years later the main witness was able to recall more details about the incident. There had been an apparent time lapse. The witness recalls that at the time of the object emitted the three flashes it descended towards the ground. A circular opening became visible and a cloud of “gas” seemed to envelop the witnesses. Both felt as if they were taken onboard the object through the opening. Inside they found themselves standing in a round entrance with two bright corridors. One of the corridors darkened and then both witnesses entered the lighted corridor and follow it. There a small entity confronted them. The entity was slightly smaller than the witness, dark green-khaki in color with a disproportionate sized head as compared to its body; it had large almond shaped eyes, a very flat slit like nose, and a long lipless mouth. The entity communicated by using telepathy and the witnesses answered back in French. He asked them not to be afraid that he was not going to harm them. The main witness was then escorted to a table and made to lie down on it. At the same time, other entities, gray in color and different from the other entity accompanied his friend to another table; his fried resisted and struggled with the entities. The green entity told the witness that the “gray” aliens were malicious but that his friend should not be afraid. The gray entities proceeded in taking skin, nail, and blood and hair samples from both witnesses. From the ceiling a “machine” with a long needle descended. The green entity told the witness not to be afraid as the needled is inserted into his left nostril. He feels extreme discomfort and feels something was inserted into the nose cavity. After the physical examination both witnesses found themselves in a room with the green-khaki colored entity. The main witness was told to follow the entity into another room, but his friend was told to remain behind. He was taken into a room where he saw charts and screens on the wall and what appeared to be “star maps”. Using telepathic means, the entity told the witness that he was from another planet and that he was a biologist. Apparently as a reward for being cooperative, the alien showed the witness a screen where he saw other planets. The alien said that they would return in 20 or 30 years. Soon the witness found his friend in the corridor; they heard an unknown voice and were transported to the ground within a cloud of vapor. At this point is when the 2 terrified witnesses ran home in a panic.

He struck up a conversation with the man and learned he was an extraterrestrial, who did not know what to do in Belgium (?) and had no money to pay the water he was drinking. VVK paid for the water and offered the stranger lodging at his apartment. At this point the witness tried to interest the Belgium UFO group SOBEPS about his “guest” but they were not interested.

One night the witness was riding his bicycle just south of the village when his dog, a large black lab, took off ahead growling and barking. The dog headed for the opening to a cottage driveway. The witness approached and saw what he though at first was a big large cat, but then it appeared just like a white shape. He dismounted his bike and attempted to stop his dog from attacking the creature. While he was shouting at the dog, the creature moved towards a bunch of cedar trees and then stopped. Just as the dog was about to pounce on the creature, “it stood up.” It was about 3 ft tall, with long willowy arms and a large head. Then the creature emitted a sound that was hard to describe. It resembled a very loud sub-sonic grunt or blast. The witness felt surrounded by the sound. The dog stopped in its tracks, turned, and ran behind the witness with its tail between its legs. Terrified the witness ran down the road with his dog, pushing the bicycle ahead of him. He did not see the creature again.

The creature was moving very slowly. It must have been as tall as a human, with united legs and open, unmoving wings, like the letter “T.” Its color was light tan and the witness had the impression that the entity was semi-transparent and also had the impression that the flying creature was looking at him. A friend told the witness that he had a similar experience with a flying creature, again in Rhodes.

The witness, who lived near the local Boeing Aircraft plant at the time, had stepped out of the house for a breath of fresh air when he noticed what he thought were helicopter lights approaching and stopping to hover over a nearby building at the Boeing plant. Suddenly the lights shot straight up, went to the north end of the plant, and descended to hover again. The object then made a quick arc and came up to the witness house. The witness was now able to see the object clearly and described it as a circular silvery object with a curved low top and sides, which sloped inward towards the bottom. Around the sloping sides was a continuous row of windows separated by thin vertical supports. The craft had a yellowish amber light in the center of the top. Several moving figures or images could be seen moving back and forth in front of the lighted background in the center section behind the windows. After about three minutes the object moved slowly away in an arc towards Lake Washington disappearing from sight behind trees.

She attempted to wake her husband, but it was no use. She suddenly was overcome with a peaceful feeling and found herself standing next to the saucer. A door opened and she walked in. A voice told her to leave her nightgown at the door. She walked through a beam of light and into a room where there were six women, each from a different country. Each of the women were given translators bracelets so that they could understand each other. Suddenly a voice rang out saying “The creator would be in, in a moment,” and a man about seven-feet tall walked in. He was described as “beautiful” with white hair, a white beard, and wearing a white robe. He told the women that they were there for a specific purpose. She was apparently given some information that she will remember when the time comes.

Summary: While guarding an ammunition depot near a freight train a military guard observed a strange figure about 1.20 meters in height, black in color that was moving over the train tracks in a very quick and agile manner. Two guards approached the figure and pointed their rifles at it and it suddenly turned around and stared at the two men with two large bright red glowing eyes, it jumped up into the darkness and disappeared. Other soldiers at the base had seen a similar figure around the same time and strange objects over the area had also been reported. One night, in the same base a soldier was given the task to guard a metallic cage, which contained a weird reptilian creature that emitted strange, grunting sounds. One night while standing duty a dark helicopter landed and three military personnel exited the craft, these proceeded to pick up the cage with the humanoid and left immediately. The guard described the humanoid as resembling a “reptilian penguin” with strong jaws and claws. It was about 40 cm in height. The guard observed that the helicopter lacked any identifiable markings on it.

Summary: About a dozen special KGB troops including 3 officers and led by a Major were dropped off at the island by a launch during military maneuvers in the area. As they patrolled the uninhabited island the group entered a strange fogbank. At this moment the Major perceived an incomprehensible anxiety. His expedition was a cover for a special operation designed to verify countless reports by locals of bizarre phenomena observed in the island and surrounding territories, which included flying luminous spheres, feelings of groundless horror and encounters with mysterious beings. The fog suddenly dissipated and the soldiers stumbled into a high fence, which according to maps was not supposed to be there. Weapons at the ready the men climbed the fence and arrived at an area next to a large rocky hill, next to the hill they saw a silvery sphere about 5 meters in diameter sitting on the ground, it brightly reflected the sunlight. Next to the sphere stood three strangely dressed persons, on the belt of each hung what appeared to be a “laser gun” as perceived by the Major and his troops. The Major silently ordered his soldiers to noiselessly move along the fence and be prepared for battle. The plan was to detain the strangers and if necessary to use force. Major waved his pistol and the men silently rushed the sparkling sphere. The figures standing around it reacted and attempted to grasp their weapons but were instantly cut down by the soldier’s automatic fire. After ordering the men not to touch anything the Major searched the corpses of the strangers. He took out a long thin tube, which had a knob with several colored buttons from one of the stranger’s belt. After directing the muzzle into the sand he pressed one of the buttons but nothing happened. Suddenly they heard a whistle and all the men including the Major squatted down expecting trouble, at this point the Major noticed that at the spot where he had pointed the strange “weapon’s” muzzle there was a large round spot of melted sand. He realized that it had taken a very high temperature to perform this. One of the soldiers then came running over reporting that he found a small cave on the rocky cliff. Led by the Major the soldiers enter the grotto and after a short passage entered a small hall, lined by rows of long tables filled with incomprehensible equipment, in the center of which, was located an apparent control panel. At the tables and inclined over the instruments were several huge man-like figures over two meters in height, wearing silvery overalls. Outwardly these giants were very similar to people. Other smaller figures also wearing silvery coveralls walked along the tables. A bright light from an unknown source illuminated the hall. The men began firing their weapons in all directions and the dwarf-like figures began falling, however the bullets appeared to have no effect on the giants whatsoever. Menacingly the giants rose from their seats and rushed the men who began a panicky retreat. As the men ran like mad towards the shore they heard a loud cracking sound behind them, looking behind them they saw bright beams of white light being directed towards the sky, which changed colors to red, to blue and then to multicolored waves of light. After several minutes the lower end of the beam of light became thin as a needle and began to describe circles above the island, moments later the stunned men saw what appeared to be a fiery conflagration above the island, which lasted for about 20 minutes. Suddenly everything disappeared. The men were debriefed and threatened not to divulge what had occurred. No traces were located during a search, according to KGB sources.

She experienced the feeling of skimming across water, but somehow resisted being taken to an unknown destination. The words, “No time” kept coming up, to mean there is no such thing as time and “You’re woman” was clearly stated. A form of contact was maintained in the months ahead through channeling. Her son, then 17, and a friend rushed indoors after seeing what were said to be have been a “spacecraft”. The sightings were so convincing that they reported it to the police and the press ran a story. Shelly, through channeling, made contact with tall, faired hair, blue-eyed beings on a mission of goodwill to save the planet.

In a dream like state the witness found herself lying on a table. Her clothes were gone and her legs were slung over the arms of a man, or so she thought until she looked up at his face and saw that it was not human. There stood a being that had the head of a dog with long pointed ears, a long muzzle, reddish brown fur on the face and neck, light colored eyes. His body was human looking. It was pale but the sexual organ had reddish stripes as well as hi slower abdomen and buttocks. She struggle to get up but was unable to. She looked at him and asked what was going on. This seemed to make him angry. Suddenly she was forced to look at his eyes. They began to spin around like a pinwheel. Then his long tongue shot from his mouth straight at her face. At that moment the witness felt fear like she never had before. She felt close to death. She then fainted. The being was about 5’11” to 6’ tall. She couldn’t see the lower part of his legs or feet. She suddenly woke up in her bed with a terribly start her heart pounding. About a month later she discovered that she was pregnant. Around the same time she began to see little twinkling lights. She would see hundreds of them at one time. They seemed to be always there and were very comforting. They seem very nosey sometimes. She had a normal pregnancy with no problems. When her son Tony was born there were no problems. It was completely natural. But when he was placed in her arms, she noticed large splotches of light all around. The colors were white, electric blue, and gold. They were so intense that she asked if anyone else could see them. No one else could. In August 1988 she received a Time-Life book in the mail. It was about mythical creatures. She sat down and looked through the book and then she came across a page that had a picture of a statue on it. It was a being that she had seen in her dream like state 11 years earlier. His name was Anubis. Upon seeing the picture her son Tommy told her that she had seen the same being in his dreams. He said that the dream was always the same. He would be walking into this pyramid and when she got inside the creature called Anubis would step down from behind a wall and start talking to him. He couldn’t remember what was being said. He described the creature as having dark reddish brown fur on the face, and peach color skin and wearing a skirt-like thing that was red in color.

Summary: 6-year old Hermann E Bossi was suddenly awoken by what he termed were “holograms” somehow projected on the western wall of his bedroom, opposite to his bed. He saw two holograms resembling “chimneys” that appeared to be speaking (!) in an unknown language, similar to a high speed squeaking. In great fear Hermann ran out the bedroom door but apparently the “holograms” followed him along the corridor. He went into his parent’s bedroom and waited. After about half an hour a loud humming-buzzing sound filled the room, the sound came at intervals of about a second each. An unknown force somehow made the young witness leave his parent’s bed and in their bedroom (I assume his parents slept through the whole fantastic event)) he was confronted by several robot-like figures shaped like flat cylinders, black metallic in color, with a indentation on the top. He also saw another type of cylinder, larger than the others that apparently guided the other robots. Without any self control Bossi climbed on top of one of the smaller cylinders and felt totally glued to it, like a piece of iron on a magnet. The cylinder then flew out to the corridor, followed by the other cylinders as the witness held on wanting to cry but unable to move a muscle. As the witness flew on top of the cylinder through the corridor he was somehow able to switch a light switch on, but he was further drawn through the corridor. But after a few seconds the cylinders seem to disintegrate under him. In great fear he ran to the kitchen in search of a weapon for self-defense. His next recollection was of seeing an “owl” that stared at him through the kitchen window. He stood at the window opposite to the “owl” and also stared at it. Finally he went back to his parent’s bedroom and slept between his father and mother. After some minutes he felt a presence in the room but could not see anyone. He felt calm in the presence of the invisible visitors and in his mind he could hear the names, “Hather & Uasyr”. Finally the invisible beings left. His parents remained asleep.

The witness had gone out on her patio to do some laundry when she looked up and saw a large object hovering nearby. It was described as cigar shaped with numerous windows and blue and white lights. It was totally silent. Inside the object she was able to see two short humanoids and two human like beings. The humanoids were four-foot tall with large heads, large dark brown eyes, two holes for a nose and a slit like mouth. They wore silver metallic gowns with rolled collars and cuffs. The two humans wore normal clothing and one of them, a female, appeared to be in a trance. As the object hovered tilting from side to side, the witness was able to clearly see two of the compartments. One had white Formica like tops with multi-colored buttons with what appeared to be hieroglyphics like symbols; leather back chairs were also visible. The two humanoids appeared to glide into one compartment and grab the female human under her arms and lift her up. As the witness yelled for her son the object suddenly rose in a jerking motion and disappeared over a nearby water tower.

Two soldiers driving along some railroad tracks in a swampy area noticed a white flash of “lighting” about 40 meters away and then a strange blue luminosity and small reddish flashes of light appear. The light dims as the witnesses approach to see 2 humanoids about 90cm in height, they are unable to see their faces as a result of the light. The humanoids are wearing boots and grayish overalls. They appear to be very busy along the tracks, cutting grass and taking small plants. They seemed surprised by the soldier’s vehicle headlights. At first they stand still but then disappear into the bushes. 3 minutes later another bright light is seen and an oval-shaped UFO, red and blue in color about 30 minutes in diameter goes up vertically, very slowly at first emitting a slight whistling and air turbulence. At 40 meters in height it moves horizontally and then flies at very high speed towards the southeast. The witness felt very cold and afraid during the encounter and smell an ozone-like odor. Broken branches and ground traces were found on the scene.

An old bus filled with passengers was riding up an isolated and wooded mountain road at very low speed. Suddenly at a turn in the road the passengers watched about twenty short Dwarf like beings emerge from the forest. The beings grabbed a hold of the back of the bus and would not let it move. Then some of them began pushing on one side of the bus, moving it back and forth very quickly until it overturned into a ditch. The terrified bus passengers scrambled out and watched the beings apparently laughing, obviously enjoying the spectacle. Suddenly as if obeying an unheard order the beings retreated into the forest and vanished.

The main witness and several others were camping out in the woods when they all awoke as someone appeared to be shining a floodlight on the tents. It was really bright and they were all feeling a bit dazed. The flap of the tent was pulled back from the outside and they all scrambled out. The light was so bright that they had to shield their eyes from it. He couldn’t see very well but someone took his hand and started leading him towards the woods. He wasn’t fully awake, but he wasn’t asleep, it felt very strange and he wasn’t afraid. He didn’t look at whoever was leading him by the hand but he remembered the hand being too thin, too pale and very cold to the touch. He also remembered seeing another camper being lead in the same way nearby. He doesn’t remember seeing whoever was guiding the other camper, just the camper being gently led through the forest. His next memory was of seeing a ramp, metal, leading up to a bright opening in a small black ship resting in a very small clearing. He didn’t really see the ship but he remembered that out of the opening streamed red light, an eerie blood red light that reflected off the polished silver of the ramp. His next memory was of lying on a hard table. He was naked and there were all these pale white faces looking down at him. They had black eyes and no noses, just nostrils. No hair and there seemed to be two different types of beings. There were 5 or 6 very short beings and one which seemed to be the same species but was much taller than the rest. They were all very thin with long fingers and oversized heads. He remembered becoming afraid and trying to kick and scream to get off the table but the smaller beings held him down. Then the taller one approached and bent down, bringing its face close to the witness’s. Then it spoke to the witness, telepathically. In his head the witness heard its voice which was feminine, it said, “Don’t be afraid this wont last long. I will protect you. You will be home soon.” Then “she” moved away and the shorter beings began strapping him down to the table. He couldn’t move or speak. They then shoved something up his nose and pushed it really far in. It hurt a lot and the witness remembered a distinct crunching noise from inside his head. They repeated the procedure with the other nostril. His next memory was of being in a small room with metal walls and a very small door. There were a few of the other campers there but they appeared to be asleep. It smelled like sulfur or rotten eggs and it made the witness queasy. Another screaming camper was lying face down on a platform sticking out of the curved walls. The ceiling was arched and was very low. The witness who was only 10 years of age almost touches the ceiling with his head. The camp counselor is there also, crunched up into a ball on the floor near the small door. He was shivering and would not talk to the witness. After that he remembers being led out the ship by one of the small beings. It led him back to the tent and actually pushed him through the flap. The other campers were right behind him. A voice then said in his head, “Go back to sleep, you are tired, you need to sleep”. They all went back to sleep except for one camper who began to scream.

While her brothers and sisters went out fruit picking, 10-year old Karen stayed behind in a wood. During the walk to the wood she watched a bright rainbow-colored light in the sky, although any connection with what was shortly to take place is unproven. Having entered the wood, Karen walked down familiar until she came to a clearing well known to her. The area was strangely silent. All bird and animal noises had stopped. The only sound that echoed through the wood came from the dry leaves crunching beneath her feet. Suddenly, she saw ahead of her a group of little figures, four in all, and she, confronted by this strange group, was unable to move. She was, “frozen to the spot.” The entities started to come towards her and as they did so she could see that not only their eyes, but also more remarkably, their skin was colored blue. They were small, smaller even than 10-year old Karen, probably not even reaching her shoulder. And then she felt hands touching her, cold and slimy. An enormous light appeared from nowhere and the next thing that Karen can picture is lying on a big circular table, which had the appearance of hard metal, but felt soft around her, almost as if it had been molded to the contours of her body. Entities surrounded her, reassuring her everything was all right. Not a word, though, was spoken. These beings looked human, but also she caught sight of taller entities whose bodies were incredibly thin, like stick insects. She believes that the small entities she first encountered may have been working for these taller aliens. The place was dark, but she remembered a light shining from somewhere. Drops were put into her eyes which paralyzed her them for a while. Karen recalls a “contraption like a machine” covering her from head to toe and going into her mouth. It may have examined her nostrils as well. Eventually, Karen was returned to the spot where her mysterious journey had begun. Dazed and shaken, she headed for home. When she walked in, she received another shock. Over eight hours had passed since she had gone on the picnic. Her frantic parents had been on the point of calling the police.

They tried the door and it opened to a room with some sort of control panels or computers filled with flashing lights. Seated in front of two of these panels were two “gray” type creatures. They had huge heads, large slanted black eyes, deep black, were about the size of a child and very thin and spindly. They turned from what they were doing and seemed surprised to see them, they kind of flinched. Then from the left and the right of the room came two robot-like creatures. They were tall, they seemed huge, and silver almost like they were wearing a suit because it was wrinkled around the waist, small black eyes and no mouths were visible. They grabbed the two boys with crab-like claws, very long. Both boys do not remember anything else and woke up in their bedrooms later.

Then the engine stopped completely. The soldier exited the vehicle to look under the hood. Suddenly he heard his wife yell, “Look!” At a distance of 15-20 meters from them and at a height of a 3-4 story house flew an object the shape of a tortoise, whose lower half was dark and the top half shone brightly. As the witness watched mesmerized a lighted area became visible and within the lighted area he saw a man, who appeared to be attentively examining the ground. At this point his wife attempted to approach but her body became heavy “like lead” and she was unable to move a muscle. While his mother in law stayed in the vehicle in apparent indifference. He described the man as having curly black hair, southern European type facial features, and dark complexioned with a very sharp and defined nose. The object had been sharply inclined to the right when it simultaneously shut off the light and rapidly collected speed and flew away into the distance. Curiously after the incident the car that the witness had driven that day went on operating for 120 thousand km without any repairs.

Summary: A New York witness at Hyde Park recalled a UFO incident from the summer of 1976 when a pyramid-shaped object hovered over her home, according to testimony in Case 62997 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. The witness recalls getting out of bed and moving toward a window in her home when the object was first seen in the summer of 1976 during the late night or very early morning hours. “Over the trees at the far side of the house was a bright white, perfect pyramid craft,” the witness stated. “My first thought was it was a two-man ship.” The main body of it was bright white and it spun rapidly, but it flew straight. On one point was a blue light; on one tip a green light and on the other tip was white light. Part of me remembers a red light somewhere.” The witnesses’ room was on one end of the home and the object appeared to be near the opposite end of the home.
“I remember touching my eyes to make sure I was awake. It was maybe 20 to 25 feet off of the ground and maybe10 feet away from the side of the house slowly flying parallel to the second floor of the house. There was no sound.” The witness became afraid thinking that the object could also see her. “At first I was amazed and then I thought – if I can see it, they can see me. Then I had an overwhelming feeling of dread and fear. I ran to the closet and hid.”
But hiding in the closet did not block the witness from the object. “I remember seeing the bright light under the door and then I’m in my mom’s room crying and she’s telling me to go back to sleep. My Dad walked me back to my room and my friend who was sleeping over said she saw something in the neighbor’s driveway. Next thing I know I’m coming home from school the next day. Then when my Dad got home, he told my Mom that she should have believed me because in the paper was an article that said the town about 30 minutes away saw the same thing I saw.”The newspaper article convinced her parents.
“After that she always looked at the sky as she wanted to see them too. I was 13 when that happened. I’m 51 now and I can’t talk about it without crying even after all these years. I don’t know what happened to make me cry when I think about it still. I do have a lot of dreams about ships in the sky and I see the tall shining, blonde, beautiful people. But I had to tell someone about my sighting even though it was a long time ago. I’m still a little scared that the ‘men in black’ will come to the door.”

Summary: Local farmers reported seeing a metallic disc-shaped object descend from the sky and land in one of the cooperative farms, near the beekeeper area. Several figures described as human-like, but very thin, almost emaciated left the object and approached the awestruck beekeeper. The men wore tight-fitting gray jumpsuits and had yellowish skin. One of the humanoids wrote a note (in Russian) to the beekeeper requesting a beehive, since they explained it was important to their “navigation” research, since these insects had a unique sense of direction. The peasant, completely unable to understand the situation knelt down at the stranger’s feet and said, ‘I greet you brothers in behalf of the entire humanity and the workers of the village.” The strangers explained to the beekeeper (Vasily) that they came from a civilization that did not recognized social statuses or differences between men. Eventually other villagers arrived and the aliens agreed in exchange for food staples to repair some of the broken farm machinery including the apiary milk separator. They had one request from the villagers, to let them use their wheat fields for their own research purposes. Soon “pictogram” like formations began appearing in the surrounding wheat-fields. The aliens further explained that they were part of an expeditionary group from the Crab Nebula region of space and were involved in a topographic study of the Milky Way Galaxy. Most of the communication between the aliens and the peasants was via telepathy or in written notes.

Emilie suddenly had the urge to urinate; she left the road and went up to some shrubs to hide herself. At the crucial moment, raising her skirt, she gazed upon “a very black bird-like creature” standing about 2 meters from her. The animal was about 120cm high, totally black from head to foot and didn’t move as if it was sleeping, but it suddenly looked at the witness. Terrified the witness ran all the way home.

The driver and passenger of a vehicle were in a car traveling at 50mph between Ennis and Limerick when both witnesses a large and frightening luminous ape-like creature. They were driving along an unlit section of the road on a clear starry night when the passenger first saw the lights of the eight-foot tall luminous figure. He appeared to be balanced on the very edge of the curb. His large furry head seemed to project forward as he stood shoulders upright. The outline of his long thin body was spidery and hairy; it was green-gray in color. His clothes were a shabby gray fabric that hung very loose fitting, and they were covered with lines of embedded lights in both the limbs and trunk. The figure stood there with his hands reaching well below his knees. They noticed that each of his long upper limbs appeared to have two separate forearms on the end, almost like claws. The witness was extremely frightened by this, the effect of which caused him to duck down. He was quite unable to speak to the driver. The next day he missed work due to the after-effects of his shock. When he returned the driver had already spoken of the strange incident to his colleagues and revealed this sighting to be the true reason for his absence, which greatly embarrassed him at the time.
