Summary: French Egyptologist Louis Caparat reportedly “discovered a secret room in the Great Pyramid of Cheops.” A dead alien humanoid “was found in a crystalline transparent case. At first the alien (not described) appeared to be hibernating,” or in a state of suspended animation. Caparat reportedly “also found a papyrus text” which described the pharaoh meeting with the alien, who told him that some day his space traveling species would arrive from the stars. The alien supposedly suggested the design of the pyramid and persuaded the Egyptians to build it as his resting place. Caparat reportedly sent a message to a colleague in Spain, Francisco de Braga, a biologist, inviting him to come to Egypt, to take blood, cell, tissue, and DNA samples from the dead alien. But when de Braga arrived in Cairo, he was detained by the Egyptian Ministry of State Security and put on a plane back to Madrid. According to Rose El-Yussuf, the dead alien was taken to a laboratory at an undisclosed location by Egyptian military intelligence. No other information.

Summary: in 1988, Professor Roy Mackal led an expedition into the deserts of Namibia. He was investigating intriguing reports of a creature with a 9-meter (30 ft) wingspan seen gliding through the air. Eyewitness reports stated that it would appear at dusk, flying between two hills. Some even claimed that the winged monstrosity glowed in the dark. While the mission was unsuccessful, one expedition member claimed to have seen it from a distance, describing it as “a giant glider shape, black with white markings.”

Summary: “My story is from 1988. I was just moving out of the house for the first time. I moved to Crestline with a couple buddies. This story involves my buddy Nate and myself. He was helping me move into my room and, by then, we moved most of my things and it was the end of the night, probably round 10 PM. My room was facing the back of a slope of the hill. And right above the hill, was another house and there’s no fences, so neighbors and the kids, I noticed, throughout the day, were playing and just going through the yard. You know, no big deal. When my buddy and I were in the room, we looked out the window and we saw a couple kids. And it was pretty late at that time and very dark. The kids were just playing around, having a good time. I go and get another beer for Nate and when I come back, he says, “The kids went away.” And there was just one girl left and it’s kind of weird. We’re looking, trying to see if she was okay because she was just standing there, kind of just facing, I guess, east. When she started moving, she started moving slowly, and we noticed that, I don’t know if it was the moonlight or what, but her skin started becoming more pale. Yeah, it was really weird. She was dressed in normal clothes. Just at that time, she started to put her head up and started looking around. We didn’t say anything because we were already freaked out, but then when she looked at us, her eyes were all black. Then maybe a couple seconds later, it was almost a reddish-black. Really weird. That right there freaked us out and we slammed the window shut and put the blinds over it. And as we just peeked through the window, just to see what was there, it was almost like it was a, I don’t want to say skinwalker, but it was almost like a creature, something out of Men In Black (the movie). It was all quiet… but it wasn’t a girl anymore. It was almost like a man-like body but the arms and the legs were almost double jointed and it was walking and, very, almost crab-like. It was very weird, you know. At that point, it was just screaming like crazy. So, at that point, we just ran down the stairs and we were trying to contemplate whether, if we should just get in the car. We stayed inside for about an hour and my buddy Nate and I were having anxiety through the roof. And, at one point, Nate decided to just say screw it and let’s just get out of here. We ran down through the deck, got in the car and luckily the car was an automatic, you know, the button, you can just press it and it opens. Well, when we were backing up you have to go slow on the very tip where it gets on to the main street from your driveway or else it’ll scratch the back of the car. But, at that point, we were going too fast. He went backwards too fast and when it hit the bottom of the tow hitch, it was so fast that the truck went back on it, that the front end went up and we were vertical basically for, maybe, 30 seconds, freaking out. I kid you not. At that point, I was able to use my body weight to push the car forward, and when it went down forward, we looked down and there was the creature right in front of us. We were just cold. It was human with, it was almost a man’s body, no hair, but it was just a pale creature but it almost like an insect, but its arms and legs were both disjointed. It was the craziest thing. It was exactly what a praying mantis looks like, the arms and legs.”

Professional scuba diver Robert Froster was diving alone looking for mysterious undersea formations, when he noticed a disturbance in the water. When he turned to look, he saw a vague, shadowy figure slashing toward him. All around him the water had begun to churn wildly, and clouds of sediment were swirling. As the creature rushed toward him, it appeared to undulate, rather than glide. When the fast moving form got to within 20 yards of him, he noticed something odd about it. Appendages like arms, seemed to be reaching out toward him, and the end of each arm appeared to be sharply talon hands. He then saw the creature in full view. He saw an unmistakable pair of breasts, long flowing hair, smooth skin, and scaled tail from the waist down. It appeared to be half woman, half fish. Froster said, “I’ve never seen such evil hate in the eyes of any human or animal before.” Before the creature could reach him, Froster shot up toward the surface and was able to scamper over the side of his craft to safety. He never saw the creature again.

A group of police officers walking near a local candle lit shrine outside of the Morbach munitions base noticed that the candle was out, they made a few jokes and returned to their posts. Later that night, alarms started going off at the base’s perimeter fence. Investigating, several men saw a huge animal standing on its hind legs. The creature was wolf-like and seven to eight feet tall, it jumped a twelve-foot security fence after taking three long leaping steps. A guard dog was brought to the scene of the sighting to track the animal, but it “went nuts” and wouldn’t follow.

The witness had been staying at a local cottage when one windy and rainy night she was unable to sleep. She was thinking of going downstairs for a while when she looked down the hall and there, at the end of the hall, to the right of the toilet, stood a black figure. It looked like it had a hooded robe on. She just stared, frozen in bed. All of the sudden, the figure lifted slowly from the floor and extended its arms out on either side and proceeded to swiftly float right towards the witness. The terrified witness turned around and dove under the covers. She could hear a rustling sound right above her head. But before she knew it there was dead silence. She waited at least 15 minutes before coming out from under the covers, when she did this the figure had vanished.

The 9-year old witness was sick with a very high temperature and was lying in bed with her mom sleeping on the bed next to her. She was still awake when she suddenly saw a fairly attractive adult woman, dressed in black with long black hair standing on the right hand side of her bed looking at her, grinning in an evil sort of way. The weird thing apart from the fact that there was a strange woman in their house in the middle of the night was that she appeared to have “vampire” teeth or fangs. Terrified the witness attempted to wake her mom. She shook her shoulder saying, “Mom there’s a vampire in the room.” Her mother moaned and fell back to sleep. The witness then shut her eyes and hid under the covers. She eventually fell asleep and does not remember seeing the strange woman leave. Many years later she spoke to a friend that lived in the same neighborhood back then and she described encountering the same black clad woman in her bedroom also, standing by her bed.

A woman woke up to find her husband, in a frenetic state, resembling a heart attack. He was gasping for breath, his temperature was high and he was shaking. He kept saying, “They wanted him to go with them.” He claimed he saw someone or something looking at him from the window. He had felt uneasy at first then he saw faces at the window, which were calling him. He panicked as he saw three or four faces present at the window, their bedroom being on the second floor. The faces were human in form but one made a bad impression on him. He told the “faces” that was not going to go with them; he then began to feel stifled and felt as if they were somehow “pulling” at his emotions. The next thing he knew his wife was calming him down. He became very ill soon after the incident but recovered.

Summary: Antonio Fernandes Duarte was driving to his thirteen hundred acre farm during a light rain and as he was entering his property he saw a huge ball of light off to his left about 40 meters away. It was an oval shaped object on the ground with a large light and resting on three legs. The witness stopped and noticed that the craft was dull, silvery metallic and about the size of a car, about three meters high. The legs were about two meters long. He was able to see three very small men standing in the door, which was like a window hinged at the top, and two were on the ground. There was an accordion like cable coming out of their backs. One wore amber colored jumpsuit; the other wore orange and the third grayish-green. He stood at the door of the object. They seemed to be about four-feet tall, well proportioned with somewhat largish heads. There faces appeared flat and their skin seemed to be grayish in color. They appeared not to notice the witness and seemed to be distracted. One was going down on the ground and then he would go back into the ship. He would do this by jumping and floating to the ground and float back up again. A cable connected him. During the whole time the object emitted a beeping sound. As the witness watch there was a sudden flash of light, and everything disappeared. He felt his body completely numb after the flash of light.
