1978 Humanoid Reports, the year the dam broke
1978 Humanoid Reports, the year the bottom dropped out. As far as range and variety of incidents 1978 led the 70’s decade. All types of humanoids were reported worldwide and in all types of situations. Besides your standard abductions, there were numerous types of entities reported. Humanoid waves were reported from Italy, France, England, Malaysia, Spain, etc. The first reports coming from behind what it used to be the Iron curtain were beginning to emerge; repeated abductions were reported from Brazil. Bizarre incidents and abductions surfaced from Australia and New Zealand. Reports from previously slow areas became commonplace. High Strangeness was at its height. An era of change was looming, the 80’s were just around the corner. In the US the reports were steady and consistently of a high strangeness nature, the ominous manimal-bigfoot-para-ape connection became more evident. A well documented possibly retrieval of a dead humanoid was reported in New Jersey early on the year, but it was only the beginning. It was an unprecedented year; it took 11 years to almost equal the quality and amount of reports recorded for 1978. Following is the list of the known 1978 reports.

Two young boys, Barry Scott, and Russell Lee were camping in the woods, when they heard something tramping down the hill. When they looked out of their tent, they saw something that floated more than it walked. Each boy apparently saw something different. Barry saw a bell shaped white being, and Russell saw something he described as “like the Virgin Mary.” Whatever it was, the entity vanished among the trees, leaving the two boys in a state of bewildered excitement.

Mendelejew W Charitonow reported seeing in a garden close to some woods a small transparent object resting on the ground. The object appeared to be made out of two sections, in one he could see a seat in what appeared to be a command console. The witness approached and saw 3 “perfect humans” inside, except for the faces, which were somehow “different.” He invited the humanoids to come out. But apparently he was taken inside where he was sat at a console and saw a square keyboard that apparently controlled the ship. He was then given a ride in the object and eventually released on the same field.

The 18-year old witness, who had earlier felt a strange compulsion to leave for the weekend and rent a room at an isolated, old hotel on the coast, was in her room, which overlooked the water, sitting on a chair, as it was getting dark. After about an hour she noticed a very bright light up in the sky that seemed to be moving in her direction. The bright object suddenly began to descend and began hovering very close to the window, only about 50 feet above the water. Then after an apparent time lapse, she found herself opening her eyes and now lying flat on her bed, it was now daylight and she soon was stunned to learn that two days had passed without her remembering anything. She went back home and as she sat in her room pondering what had happened, an avalanche of thoughts poured into her brain. She soon remembered that as she sat in the chair staring at the light she suddenly found herself onboard of what appeared to be a “spacecraft.” Disoriented she watched a group of “people” standing in front of her. There were two men and three women, the men were the closest to her, and the women just a few feet behind them. She described the humanoids as the most beautiful people she had ever seen. They all had jet black hair, and the most pearl/blue piercing eyes she had ever seen, their skin was extremely pale and their complexions flawless. Feeling scared she reached into her hand bag and grabbed a pair of scissors, holding them in both hands straight in front of her, in a threatening gesture. She yelled at the “aliens” not to come any closer to her. The man nearest to her simply smiled, then very slowly began to raise his arm until it was straight out in front of him. The scissors that the witness was holding suddenly began to melt; each part of the scissors began to roll back in a curling motion, until they wound up in a very tight curl. The man closest to her was the only one to speak and told the witness not to worry that they were not going to hurt her that they only needed to look at something. The same man told her that they needed to look at her hands. He then gestured for her to follow and walked on a corridor that had a slight elevation upside. After about 10 feet they reached what appeared to be an alcove or indentation on the wall. There was a small apparatus there that looked like a mirrored surface, 2’ by 2’. She was asked to place her hands on top of the machine, as they needed to get a record. The man then walked down the corridor and left the witness alone. The man returned then gesture at the witness to again follow him down the corridor. They stopped beside a room and was told to please wait there. Curious she entered the room, and noticed that it was shaped somewhat like a half diamond, with slanting walls and ceiling. The entire room was an odd red/rust color. She then walked out of the room and followed the corridor in an upward direction. The corridor came up to a very large room, that was nearly pitch black, and the only thing in the entire room was a very comfortable looking recliner chair. She approached the chair and placed her hand on the armrest, immediately the room seem to change, and she felt “alone in the Universe.” She repeated this several times but soon the now familiar man appeared and told her not to touch the chair again and to follow him, as she walked down the corridor again, she suddenly found herself on the bed back at the hotel.

The object remained at a height of 100 feet as it traveled in a straight line, occasionally dipping 30 feet. Rounding a curve the sun shone on the object, and it appeared to turn transparent. Inside she was able to see 3 or 4 human like figures inside. Two, which were looking at her and were leaning over a console or platform. The men looked very handsome. She gave them the peace sign but they did not respond, displaying no emotion just curiosity. They attempted to follow the object but eventually lost sight of it.

The witness was driving in a remote area when he suddenly lost control of his vehicle, he drove on until he came up to the top of a hill, and there he was commanded to stop. He left the car and found himself walking on a valley that was filled with light. He was then ordered to climb a nearby mountain; it took him five hours to reach the top. He did not recall much after that and had one hour of missing time. Later under hypnosis he recalled that as he was walking on the valley a bright beam of light shone on him. He then saw ten beings dressed in white standing in a circle. The beings were five-foot five inches tall, wearing skintight outfits that covered their faces. Their heads were elongated and they had a large round black lens over the eye area, their mouths were slit like and the noses were holes. They had small chests and thin arms. He was then taken onboard an object where he was examined and some robot like beings cut inside his nose. When the witness was released he saw two hovering objects one larger than the other.

One night a platoon of soldiers were conducting war games in the forest, when the truck malfunctioned and lost all power. One soldier, Edwin Godoy, was ordered to stay behind with the truck as the other men left on foot. Soon after midnight he noticed a figure some 300 meters away from him, standing next to some pine trees in the forest. The figure was very tall, and its body was completely covered with hair. It had dark long grayish hair all over its body and it stood next to the pine trees swinging its body sideways while looking straight at Godoy. It was very strongly built and his eyes glowed red in the dark. The figure suddenly began running towards the witness. After yelling at the figure to stop, he fired a shot into the air then at the figure. The hairy figure grabbed its chest and emitted a loud moan, stopped and then ran to his right disappearing into the forest. Godoy locked himself in the truck until the morning. Later special army units found a peculiar green liquid in the area, believed to have been blood from the creature.

The witness was lying down on his bed attempting to go to sleep when he began to feel an unusual spinning sensation. His whole body appeared to be vibrating. As his mind began to clear he became aware of standing inside what he assumed was a “spaceship,” the surroundings were pulsating with a brilliant light. He felt a mental message and saw a group of seven beings standing directly in front of him, both male and female. Some stood around and others were manipulating some sort of control. One of the beings that was human in appearance and wore a pure white suit looked at the witness with the most intense and penetrating eyes he ever witnesses. A beautiful glow surrounded the beings and the witness felt a sense of peace emanating from them. The white-garbed beings, that seemed to be the leader communicated with the witness by using telepathy. He spoke of the energy used to propel their ship and of many other subjects including the cosmic mind and creation. Soon he found himself back on his bed with a clear memory of all that had transpired.

There was no way in this dark road that the figures could not see the vehicle headlights. Before the driver could react, she drove the vehicle right between two of the walking figures. The figures did not flinch or show any reaction. Stunned they noticed that further back in the line, was a man with a “lumberjack” shirt on, unbuttoned, walking with them.

Later he narrated that as the object landed his cousin Paulinho and himself also tried to run but were unable to move. They were then attracted towards the object. Inside the craft they found themselves in a large room where there was only a chair and a button. In the room there were also eight short humanoids, wearing reddish rubbery tight-fitting suits, there faces were human-like. Both boys remained on the chair unable to move, until one of the short men approached and passed his hand over the side of the chair.

Four men were out pouching in a field next to the River Weaver, when they sighted a silvery balloon like object float along the river and land. It emitted a strong purplish glow that made it hard to look at. Two figures of normal height emerged, they wore silvery suits and had lamps on their heads like miners, and these also glowed purple. Cows on a nearby field seemed to become paralyzed and unable to move. Using a metal cage the figures penned in one of the cows and seemed to measure it.

Three young children were playing on the ice on a field of the local elementary school, it was dark, and floodlights illuminated the field. The boys then noticed a “plane” like object that passed slowly over the field. Moments later a second object arrived, it was described as square shaped with large yellow lights on each corner with a slight dome on top and a red light underneath. The object emitted a red beam of light towards the ground, which stopped short before touching it. They then noticed several figures moving stiffly along, around the park area. These figures were humanoid and were dressed in bright yellow outfits with boots and gloves. They were of average height and bald headed. One of the beings appeared different since he had a larger head which seemed “creased” down the middle and was wearing a brown cape over the yellow suit. As the witnesses watched the figures they noted and uncanny silence and an unpleasant sulfur like odor in the area. The figures walked away towards the nearby Public Works Garage. The boys then noticed another figure, this one a woman standing in the parking lot. She had medium long brown hair and wore a dark suit with blue fur around her shoulders and when she walked, she did as if in slow motion. She sat down on a low fence then raised her arm very slowly and pointed to the sky, apparently at another hovering square shaped object. The woman then also walked towards the Public Works building and at one point seemed to appear and disappear as a police vehicle drove by near her.

The witness was on his way to a hunting trip when he felt an irresistible impulse to change course. He stopped at a strange bar with an unusual waiter and a smell of pine and no other customers. He then left and again felt an urge to go to a particular place. At that point he lost all conscious memory. Later under hypnosis he remembered that his car apparently was under somebody else’s control, all the electrical systems failed and the car stopped. His dog growled as two tall broad shouldered humanoids approached the vehicle, these were human-like, 2 meters tall, with narrow waists and a powerful built. They had enlarged crania, penetrating eyes, long thin noses and pointed chins; they also had bluish white skin, Nordic in appearance. They wore light green one-piece coveralls with only their hands and faces exposed. They communicated by using telepathy and invited him to come with them, he followed them over a rise and into a large hovering disc with a dome on top. It had a rotating ring around it and a row of windows. A smell of ozone was in the air. He entered the object via a cylindrical elevator. He then entered a control room with several tables and consoles with conical seats. A third taller being greeted him there.

Three teachers, Mr. Moreno, Mr. Aguilar and Mr. Coronado were on their way back to town from a late dinner, when they noticed bright flashes of green, red and white light coming from a nearby hill. They stopped their vehicle and got out to obtain a better look. They walked towards the lights, which appeared to be about 300 meters away. The light seemed to dim the closer they got to it. When they were about 20 meters from the light, they noticed that it was now an opaque egg shaped object, about 15 meters in length. It appeared to have three antennae like protrusions on top. It now gave off a fluorescent white glow. Curious the three men approached the object even further and began to surround it. Suddenly, one of the men noticed something very close to him and signaled the other two. They all then saw in an apparently freshly dug ditch a short “robot like’ humanoid that appeared to be still digging. The being seemed to be wearing a tight fitting silvery outfit with a round helmet. The little man simply ignored the trio and kept digging. Frightened all three ran across a field, entered the vehicle and drove away at very high speed. The next day they returned to the site and found numerous ground traces, including the ditch.

Several soldiers were out on a routine patrol, including one named David. While resting David was putting on his backpack when a flash of light hit him. It came from an object just above the trees. It was metallic and elliptical in shaped and was hovering 100 meters away and was completely silent. Then it shot away at an incredible speed without a sound. Years later David had started having flashbacks of what really happened. He remembers putting on his backpack when a dwarf in a cloak and hood approached him. He said he would take him into the forest where he would be given something. He was led away from the rest of the group, who did not react at all to what was going on. He was taken to a clearing in the woods where a ship had landed. His next recollection was of standing in an empty room. He then found himself facing his double (cloning?) across the room. The double was wearing a blue cloak and hood. Next he recalled walking out in the forest with the dwarf by his side wearing his double’s cloak. He then came upon his companions and took them with him back into the forest. He remembers entering what seemed to be a hospital ward, besides being long the room was also crescent shaped, with beds filled with people, including his colleagues. At the foot of very bed was a container of unknown substance, with body parts of people; bloody and horrific.

He ran towards the object, cutting across marshy ground near a river. The object suddenly rushed towards him, he started to fall when a tubular beam of blue light enclosed him. The beam of light led to the craft, now hovering nearby. He became disoriented and numb, then lost consciousness. He woke up lying on a table in a hospital-like room that glowed with a red light. His shirt was open and a cold metallic box sat on his chest. Three beings were in the room and were looking at a row of flashing lights and a TV screen. One being spoke by using telepathy to the witness and led him through a curving hallway and a small airlock to a room filled with computers and other equipment, it was apparently the control room. The beings were humanoid, with large bulging and hairless heads, almost jawless, with small mouths, slit nostrils and no ears. The eyes were large and glowing and seldom blinked. The beings were 4 to 5-feet tall, seemingly frail with pale, soft skin. They wore red overalls. One of the beings appeared to be the leader and guide.

It had brilliant blue, yellow, green, and lilac colored lights. On its upper section it had a sort of cabin or cupola with 3 circular windows. The craft approached, stopped, and hovered above the waters, causing the area directly below the object to become agitated and choppy. Ribeiro then saw two short humanoids appear on top of the craft. The figures were about 1 meter in height, and wore gray colored tight fitting outfits. The beings were baldheaded, with small noses and mouths and huge black eyes. One carried something resembling a walking cane; the other had what appeared to be a vacuum cleaner like object. Both beings then began operating the vacuum like object seemingly extracting water from the ocean. After 10 minutes they re-entered the object. Moments later the object descended to 10 meters above the waters causing them to become even more turbulent, creating large waves and foam. Afraid Ribeiro ran home.

The 19-year old witness had fallen asleep that night when he was suddenly awakened by his mother’s dog. The dog was growling and shaking and staring at the bedroom door. The witness got out of bed and went to check and see what the dog was growling at. Going out into the hallway he heard a noise in the den area. Hoping to confront the intruder the witness put on a pair of jeans and sneaked into the den. Once inside he did not see anything, he checked his parents room and nothing either. He also checked the kitchen and headed back to the den, the dog still growling, and following him. Suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, turning around he saw a figure resembling a human. The witness decided to attack the figure. He came to the next day around noon. He had been stuffed under the kitchen counter, he was naked, his nose was bloody, and he felt sick and disoriented. The dog was hiding under the couch in the den refusing to come out. Feeling terrible and very hot the witness apparently fell asleep. He woke up suddenly at nighttime, naked again and the nose bleeding again. He looked over to the front door of the house and saw a 7 ft tall figure that looked very muscular, but incredibly, it looked like if it was on fire. It glowed as if it were a bright hot coal in a furnace. Its back was to the witness when he first saw it. It turned around as if was checking on the witness. The witness was apparently paralyzed and was unable to move. The strange being came over to him and put its hands on his chest. Strangely the witness did not feel any heat or fire. But he felt as it had been hit on the chest point blank by a shotgun blast. He also felt a great deal of some type of energy emanating from the creature. The witness felt his skin vibrating and so was the couch. The creature touched the dog and it fell over. The witness then heard a telepathic message in his head, which said, “That he had been with him since he was a kid, that he had been learning many things.” The witness attempted to get up but was told to go to sleep. The next day he woke up around 1500, feeling very tire and weak and could not eat. He fell asleep again and was sick for a few days after that. The creature had disappeared.

14-year old Liz De Albuquerque (involved in a previous encounter) was walking back home along a construction area when she noticed a small white luminous sphere quickly approaching her position. The sphere approached to within five meters from the witness. It seemed to be about 2 meters in diameter and hovered at about seven meters from the ground. Suddenly she heard a voice speak to her in perfect Portuguese. The voice asked if she wanted to come with “them”. Terrified the witness said no and ran quickly to her house. There was a period of missing time reported. During hypnotic regression the witness remembered seeing a familiar face appear within the sphere of light. It was the face of an alien she had encountered six years before. During the encounter she was allowed to ask several questions about the aliens purpose and history. No other information.

The witness, 10-year old Eduardo Enrique Lacayo was out playing in the front yard of his uncle’s house when he saw a cat. He decided to chase the animal as it ran towards a large empty lot across from the house. As he ran towards the field he suddenly noticed a hovering silvery disc shaped object that emitted a strong yellow light. The object resembled two soup plates placed together and was about 15 meters in diameter, and it was hovering at about 200 meters above the ground, with a slight wobbling motion. Suddenly a gray cloud like mist emerged from the object and descended towards the ground. Stunned, Enrique watched as the mist like vapor assumed the shape of a human-like figure that remained suspended above the ground. The figure wore a kind of “cape” or long tunic that did not reach its feet, since the witness was able to observe gold-colored lace less shoes on the figure’s feet. The figure was about 1 meter 70 cm in height. The cat apparently also observed the spectacle since the witness noticed that the animal’s hair stood on end and scurry terrified from the scene. The witness did not notice any facial features on the figure, except what appeared to be thin lips. The figure extended its arms at the witness as if beckoning to him and appears to open its mouth. At this point the witness, who had so far felt no fear, ran quickly away from the area. Looking back he did not see the figure and the object was seen rising up at very high speed.

The witness was walking back home alone when he observed in the sky a very bright object that began descending at high speed. The object descended low over a nearby fenced field and the witness could now see that it was a shiny circular metallic craft within a ball of fire. The craft descended projecting two bright beams of white light to the ground and extended four metallic legs to the ground. The area around the witness seemed to darken, as he felt compelled to walk forward towards the fence. Soon he was grabbed by two short humanoids wearing shiny white close fitting suits and head enclosing helmets with closed visors and on top two small antenna like protrusions. The beings spoke to the witness then took him inside the object. Once inside he experienced difficulty in breathing and noticed that the air appeared warmer and denser. The room was illuminated by a bright light and then he noticed two more beings seated at a strange console like apparatus. The beings walked over to the witness and then he was surprised to see that these were female dressed in shiny white suits, with attractive capes of the same material. These also wore helmets with antennas. They were a little taller than the other humanoids and had hair to their shoulders. One had black hair and the other was blond. The black haired female approached the witness and told him that he was going to be taken to their planet. The witness declined the invitation and begged to be released. At this point the blond woman walked over and ordered the others to let him go. He was then allowed to walk out and down a stairway to the ground. He then stood on the ground and watched the object ascend at high speed and vanish.

Jan Wolski a 71-year old farmer, was passing through a forest in his horse drawn cart when he noticed two individuals ahead, walking in the same direction, but with “supple jumps” like divers on the sea bed. When one of them approached a muddy patch, his feet seemed to slide across the mud, as reported in a number of other cases. When Wolski caught up with the strangers, they walked alongside the horse and cart for a while them jumped onboard and sat down gently, one at each side, gesturing to Wolski to carry on. The added weight caused the mare to exert extra effort. Wolski drove on while the strangers exchanged some words in an incomprehensible tongue. Shortly, as the cart approached a clearing in the forest, a strange, almost “transparent white” object could be seen, hanging in the air about 70 meters away, emitting a faint humming sound. Wolski described the object as like a short bus, but with a roof like a barn, it was about 5 meters in length, three meters in width, and about 2.5 meters in height. It shone, as if nickel-plated. No windows were seen. At its four corners, and half-way up it had on the outside, barrels with black vertical rods running through them and carrying what looked like spirals rather reminiscent of corkscrews. These black rods were rotating very fast. The “corkscrews” emitted a range of colors, and the barrels seemed to have been the source of the humming. When closer to the object, Wolski said the sound was like that of bumblebees in flight. The craft’s surface was smooth, stainless, and seamless. At a height of some 50 cm from the ground was suspended a lift held by four thin cables attached above the entrance to the craft, which had descended as the trio approached. Stepping on to the platform one of the entities invited Wolski aboard, gesturing to him that he should grasp the cables. After rising rapidly the lift stopped in front of an opening and Wolski was motioned inside. Inside, Wolski stepped into a chamber with walls that were almost black and saw two more beings identical with the first two. The chamber was rectangular. There was no internal lighting other than the daylight from the open door. The walls, floor, and ceiling were a grayish black the same color as the overalls of the occupants. The floor was shining, as though polished. The walls were smooth and hard to the touch, and made of a material resembling glass. Against the four walls there were seats, each fastened by two black cables. No apparatus was seen inside the contraption, with the exception of two black tubes that ran from one gable wall to the other and two holes, about 30 cm apart, into each of which one of the entities inserted alternately a smallish black rod. From floor to ceiling, the height was about 1.8 meters. On the floor of this cabin were about ten crows or rooks, which seemed to be paralyzed, though they could move their heads and eyes. The four identical beings, of indeterminate sex, were about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall and had delicate, slim figures. They were dressed in tight-fitting, flexible one-piece suits of a grayish black rubber like material, covering the entire body except the faces and hands. No pockets, belt, or fasteners were seen. Their legs seemed thicker than those of normal men, and form the way these curved when the beings sat in the cart with their legs hanging down, they looked like prehensile limbs. A hump was visible on the shoulders, as though something was contained under the suits. The slim, greenish colored hands had five fingers, between which were fine membranes, except for the gap between thumb and forefinger. Their heads were relatively large, with faces of an olive green or greenish brown hue, having high cheekbones that gave them an Asiatic appearance. The eyes, almond shaped, very long, were dark, and appeared to lack any whites. In the place of the nose, there was only a slight protuberance with two small vertical openings. The mouth was straight and thin. Their teeth were white. No hair was visible on the face. When the beings smiled, the mouth twisted to one side with the effect of a grimace. Their speech was rapid and delicate. They had a polite, gentle demeanor and Wolski felt no fear in their presence. The beings indicated to Wolski that he should take off his clothes, and one of them helped him undo his shirt buttons. Facing him less than two meters away, one of the beings held in each hand a gray disc shaped object that seemed to be attached to the hand by something like a suction pad. The discs were vibrating and emitting a dull humming sound. Wolski was positioned with one side facing towards the entity holding the discs, then with his back towards him, and finally with the other side. Wolski’s arms were raised alternately by the entities, whose fingers were very cold. During the process he smelled an odor similar to that of burning sulfur; a smell that lingered in his clothing for days afterwards. When ready he was shown the way out, bowed, and said goodbye. The beings bowed likewise, smiling. The same lift took him down almost to ground level, so that he was obliged to jump down a short way. Reaching his horse and car, Wolski turned around to look at the contraption. Two or three of the beings were watching him from the entrance. He did not see them leave.

The mother heard a sound like thunder, though seeming to come from the ground. Shortly afterwards, Adas came in to say that he had seen an aircraft like “a little house” or a big box, fly low over the barn. It then vanished vertically with a sound like thunder. Adas said that the object was flying with one of its smallest walls to the front, in which was a square window with rounded corners, through which he saw a pilot. On the edges of the wall, he said, were moving black rods, like the feelers of a snail.

Stunned he stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. Meanwhile Tomas’s father was in the parked car nearby and had not seen anything strange but did see his son stumble. Without taking his eyes off the figure, Tomas began filling the jugs with water. He described the figure as about 1 meter & 50 cm in height, with greenish scaly skin, except for its hands and feet, which were black and claw-like. On the left side of its chest it had a symbol resembling an inverted triangle that appeared to be part of the skin. It did not appeared to be wearing any clothing except for a belt, which consisted of several small inverted triangle-shaped sections. It had a normal sized hairless head with two huge pointy shorthaired covered ears, huge shiny cat-like eyes, a small wide nose, and a mouth with thin lips.

The witness was traveling on US-1 near the seven-mile bridge and had just begun to cross a small bridge when he noticed ahead some dancing firefly like lights. They appeared to be very far away. There were 3 or 4 of them. As he reached the end of the short bridge he parked his car, and saw that the lights were still there. He approached three anglers on the east side of the bridge and asked them about the lights. He was told that they had been watching them all night. As they continued to talk about the lights they suddenly noticed their voices were being echoed down to them from above and just to the east. Every sound they made was being amplified and reflected back to them from above. As the three anglers began laughing the witness noticed a black area obscuring the stars about 100 feet up and maybe 50 feet east of the bridge. He yelled at the approaching object to come down. Within seconds the black object illuminated itself, appearing as a thick oval shaped craft. It was extremely beautiful and covered with exquisite esoteric devices. Its whole surface was a multicolored array of sparkling light. It seemed to hover silently and motionless. The other three men suddenly became very quiet. The witness suddenly began to hear a high-speed noise, which seemed to come from below at his feet. Looking down he saw a spiral pattern of lights apparently encircling him; he was then surrounded in a cylindrical grid pattern all the way up to his head level. His surroundings then suddenly disappeared. He then saw several “persons” that greeted him. He remembered a woman, and he asked them who they were, she replied that they were “Watchers.” He felt completely at ease and comfortable, he then began to look around at what he assumes to be the interior of the object. His next conscious memory was waking up in his barracks in Boca Chica Island.

Then the beam of his flashlight illuminated something about 20 feet away. He could see that it was a human shaped figure about 5-feet tall that stood motionless on the other side of a small hedge. The figure’s skin appeared grayish in color and the eyes were a burnt yellow color. It seemed to be wearing a skintight gray body suit. Stunned the witness stared at the being for about 5 seconds, it then seemed to dive on the ground and disappear. The next morning the witness and his friends found in an area by a nearby quarry an area of flattened grass. Also on the spot where the being had disappeared they found a rough outline of a person in the grass, browned grass when the surrounding grass was green.

It was late at night and the witness had been asleep. He remembers as if he were sleepwalking. Walking towards the back door of the house with two or three entities. In addition there were two to three more with his son, plus possible additional entities in the house. When he noticed the entities with his son he became angry and more awake. The entities were facing away from him. But when he yelled for his son, several entities turned around to face him. The entities were described as short, about 4-feet tall, with no discernible clothing. They had no hair, and their skin was gray and wrinkled. There was no discernible nose, ears, or mouth, and he could not see their eye color. He could not tell anything about their hands and fingers. He noticed no apparent genitalia. He also could not remember sensing any odor. The entities movement was stiff legged, not very fluid. They were very close to him, but did not touch him. He could sense a subtle form of control over him, but no actual communication. He got the impression they were not intelligent, but just drones or minions. He felt a sense of purpose of some other entity, which controlled them. His son (4 years of age) then hit an entity on the face. The entity did not appear to react, respond or even to understand this reaction. At this point he shut his eyes and remembers nothing more of the encounter.

Francisco Nunez, and his son of the same name, about 23, was driving toward Lujan. Suddenly, as if by magic, a pickup truck ahead of them vanished. Then their car was levitated and they experienced motion at great speed along an unfamiliar, illuminated 5-lane highway surrounded by buildings so tall that they could not see the tops, and the sky was red. Up until the strange experience started the sky had been clear and starry. Their car engine stopped and they felt very cold. Their next memory was of being at a new location at a railroad crossing about 9 km away from where the experience began, and their car was facing in the opposite direction. Hypnosis was later attempted but elicited only some color patterns on the tall buildings.

They had long thin arms and fingers and wore tight fitting silvery outfits and gloves. One of the beings approached the witness and touched her, apparently causing her to calm down and relax. She then was taken by her hand and led outside and floated into a hovering object. Inside she found herself in a large stainless steel room where two short humanoids operated several devices. She was then led out of the room through a curved metallic hallway brightly lit by an unknown source. She was made to lie down on a cot and saw a terminal like instrument descend form the ceiling and hover over her. On the screen the witness was able to see numerous internal organs, apparently hers. The short humanoids gesticulated among themselves and pointed at the screen several times. Moments later one of the beings placed a small box with multicolored lights on the witness head. At this point she began receiving messages in her head. Soon a tall human like being entered the room; he wore a silvery uniform, with a large wide belt and thin gloves. He was well built, with short black hair, dark almond shaped eyes and with a somewhat pale complexion. The witness was then given a complete medical exam in which various samples were taken from her.

The young witness had gone to gather a herd of horses and as he rode on his horse through the morning fog he felt something fly overhead, several objects then appeared and began maneuvering overhead emitting powerful beams of color changing light. His horse panicked and the witness barely managed to ride back home. The boy’s father reprimanded him and ordered him to go back to get the horses. Back on the field the witness found a large round object on the ground, it had a dome on top with several round windows. A door opened and a seven-foot tall being wearing gloves and a cylindrical helmet appeared. The being seemed to be attached to the object by some type of breathing apparatus. He invited the witness inside. They boy then tied his horse to a ladder and climbed in. Inside he was able to see a panel with buttons, tables and a small robot like being that was apparently busy at cutting into pieces, large bones of some animals resembling cows or horses, afraid the boy jumped out of the object to the ground. The tall being followed him outside. The witness then requested one of the giant’s gloves as proof of the experience, he then saw that the being had green claw like hands with blue metallic nails. The being then pricked the witness right arm apparently extracting blood in the process. As the witness rode back home carrying the glove, two flying objects caught up with him emitting a small slab and sphere that descended and brushed by the horse pulling off the glove like a magnet. (Six days prior to the incident the witness father had found a mutilated cow in a pasture.)

Manuel Arias and his wife, Beatriz Turiella were attracted to a bright light originating from a nearby field where high tension wires crossed. Going to investigate they saw a huge luminous silo-shaped craft hovering about 800 meters away. The glowing object pulsated slightly. Two small lights left the object and flew towards a nearby yard where cars and construction equipment was kept. The small lights disappeared but then two strange figures appeared. These seem to float in mid air and moved slowly over barbed wire fences and other obstacles. Strangely, the witnesses noticed that throughout the incident their dogs, normally raucous dogs remained very quiet.

They then heard some noises coming from an adjoining shop that was connected to their house. They went to investigate and found some broken bottles on the floor and some other damage. Moments later they became aware of two short beings standing nearby. These were dressed in bright blue one-piece suits, dark blue helmets, and high boots bright blue in color and on their arms shiny black gauntlets that went up above the elbow. Their faces were brown and their complexion was pockmarked, their eyes normal and their noses flat. One of the figures was holding an object resembling a “hair dryer” and was pointing it at the witnesses. Both men then heard a telepathic message warning them not to scream. At this point one of the witnesses ran to the door and both figures were seen putting their fingers up their noses vanishing instantly and appearing at a different location in the shop, this they did several times as the witnesses, one armed with a knife ran around trying to exit the premises.

The wind became stronger so the witness decided to climb up a nearby embankment and take a look around. As he reached the top of the embankment he caught sight of a metallic disc shaped object sitting on a nearby dry mud flat. The object rested on three thick legs that terminated on flat plates on the ground. The object was totally smooth and the metal appeared to be brass like in appearance. A figure then appeared walking on the rim of the disc. I was described as short and oriental in appearance wearing a silvery tight fitting overall which sparkled in the sunlight. He also wore dark boots. His face was dark bronze in complexion and he had large almond shaped eyes.

The witness, “Giorgio” was on his way from a funeral when he noticed a bright glow coming from a nearby forest. Curios and fearing a fire, he parked his vehicle and went off on foot to check on the source. He took a camera with him. About 5 minutes into the woods he heard a strange sound resembling a sort of metallic “clatter.” He kept on walking while a feeling of “being watched,” crept over him. Suddenly, looking to his left he noticed a strange luminous human like figure leaning against the trunk of a tree. At this point the witness apparently attempted to take 2 photos but was unsuccessful. He observed the figure for about 30 seconds. Frightened, he described the figure as about 1 meter 60 cm in height, squat, and heavy set, with large donkey like ears. A dark spiral tube like device emerged from its mouth; he had large deep-set almond shaped eyes, which emitted a strange glow, and a small nose. It wore a loose fitting tunic and white gloves. During the encounter the witness noticed camphor like odor in the area. The humanoid became aware that the witness was approaching and suddenly turned around and quickly disappeared into the forest using great agility and speed. The witness briefly attempted to chase him but the humanoid moved to fast.

Sebastiana Francelina de Jesus an older brother and a younger cousin were traveling by Jeep on their way to a local farm when suddenly an unknown force seemed to halt the vehicle in its tracks pulling it backwards and into the mud on the side of the road. All this while a torrential rain was falling. The Jeep was hopelessly stuck in the mud on the side of the road. As the three witnesses attempted to dislodge it a very large object emitting an intense rotating light suddenly appeared. The object flew over them at very low altitude and then descended to hover a few meters away from the witnesses. The light from the object was so bright that it temporarily blinded the three young people. The older witness almost fainted of fright. Two bright rotating beams of light constantly illuminated the area around the witnesses and the interior of the Jeep. They could also hear a steady droning noise coming from the object. After awhile the witnesses began hearing what seemed to be human voices coming from the object, the voices spoke in an unknown language. The terrified witnesses began yelling for help as they began to feel a bizarre effect apparently as a result to the proximity of the object. All three felt as if they were “floating” apparently related to the loss of gravity. They also described it as feeling like “they were growing in size.” Finally the object began to move away throwing up into the air numerous rocks and debris, as it disappeared from view, a small spherical orange-yellow light seemed to follow the craft as it left the area at high speed. The witnesses then returned to normal.

Suddenly the witness found herself down the road with the engine running. She eventually reached her home and realized that the routine drive had taken longer than usual. Later under hypnosis the witness recalled sitting in her vehicle very frightened with a white light shining on her face. The radiating circles of light seemed to shrink in size.

The beings were hovering very close to the ground. They were described as very short and thin, one shorter than the other. They had yellowish skin, large elongated heads, smooth and bald, long pointed noses and large mouths with two long pointed fangs. They were clad in dark tight fitting coveralls that started below the knee and up to their necks. They also had huge hands and feet with extremely long fingers and nails. The shorter of the beings approached the witness and began making sudden “sliding” moves around him, never touching the ground. The witness screamed for help and ask who they were but they only answered with mumbling sounds. The taller creature now approached and attempted to take the witness chopping ax from him. After a brief struggle the creatures fled into the woods. The witness chased after them but lost sight of them. He then came upon a clearing where a solid metallic disc shaped craft with a dome on top rested on four legs like protrusions.

Several witnesses spotted a bizarre human like figure about 1.60 meters in height, wearing a rose-colored coverall and without apparent facial features. It moved around in a field at very high speed and then remained immobile leaning against a wall for more than 30 minutes. The witnesses were afraid to approach the figure and some thought it was a prank and summoned the authorities. As the police arrived the strange figure suddenly ran through an opening in the wall at incredibly speed and quickly disappeared from sight.

A university student was standing in her living room by a balcony overlooking the sea when she noticed to the right of the balcony a gaseous form, white in color with two pulsating lights, one at each end, one red the other green. It descended onto the surface of the water and became a very bright large neon like white light, that reflected on the surface of the water. The witness attempted to wake her parents but they continued to sleep. Then she noticed two short figures standing in the garden at the adjacent apartment. Both were wearing dark gray tight fitting outfits, were very thin with large squarish heads. They turned a corner moving as if in slow motion and in a limping manner, disappearing down an alleyway. Moments later the bright white light that by now was very near the breakwater, vanished.

Alfredo D’Aviero was cycling home on a deserted and isolated dirt road riddled with holes when as he rounded a bend he spotted two strange figures standing on the road ahead. Ashe approached he noted that the two figures were two thin humanoids with human like features and pointed chins wearing white silvery uniforms, with loose fitting pants and jackets. Both wore large black helmets with what appeared to be a small white “feather” on top. From the knee down the legs were like two black “batons”, no feet were visible. The witness stopped and approached the two strangers offering them a cigarette, he was either refused or ignored, and he then decided to turn back to town, possibly to obtain additional witnesses. Then there was a sudden flash that made him stop, turning around he noticed that the two strange figures were now gone.

At a local petroleum depot, a worker had gone outside to put out some trash and saw a white sphere of light approaching in a quick zigzagging motion. The light hovered and the witness saw multicolored lights and a rectangular shaped metallic object descended from the light. At this point he saw two men like figures inside the rectangular object, one at each end. One of the figures apparently signaled the other and the object then left. The witness car battery was apparently damaged as a result of the incident. Soon after the encounter the witness disappeared under mysterious circumstances. (No details on that)

The Bucco family was returning from visiting relatives when a dazzling light began following their vehicle. The light overtook the vehicle and the vehicle suddenly stopped without the driver applying the brakes. Then at the same time a strange little man crossed road in front of the vehicle in strange bounding jumps. Mr. Bucco thought he had struck the figure with the car. The figure then quickly bounded away and disappeared into a nearby pine grove. Francesco and Fiorentina Bucco reported seeing one humanoid, but the other two passengers in the vehicle reported seeing two. The figure or figures wore brown “astronaut” like suits, large helmets with black square visors, and 5-digit white gloves. The beings were about 1 meter in height, and moved over the road in a strange unison-robot like manner, floating 20-35 cm above the road as if bouncing on an invisible cushion. Mr. Bucco noticed a green flashlight like object wrapped over the humanoid’s shoulder.

A man was walking back home alone when as he was crossing a street he heard a noise and noticed a light approaching from behind. He stepped aside thinking that it was a car but then realized that it was a huge yellowish light that was attached to the bottom of a large object. He was suddenly struck by a beam of light and apparently lost consciousness. Later he found himself inside the object in a corridor with some type of balcony. He then noticed three short humanoids that spoke among themselves in a strange language. The beings wore overalls, helmets, and face covers light green in color. The eyes resembled two simple holes lacking eyelids or eyebrows. The witness then apparently blacked out again and arrived home at 0330A with no further recollection of what happened.

Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said, “one can’t
Believe impossible things.”
I daresay you haven’t had much practice.” Said the Queen.
“When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day.
Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible
Things before breakfast.”
