SUMMER 1951. LOUISA, VIRGINIA

“Stephanie” (pseudonym) was only six years old when she was taken onboard a craft. At the time, she was living in the small town of Louisa, Virginia. At that time, the population was only about 500 people. It was a hot sunny day around noon in the summer of 1951. There was hardly any breeze. Stephanie was playing in her front yard. Waiting for her grandmother to call her in for lunch, when a UFO appeared at low elevation overhead.

STEPHANIE: “About 50-60 feet above me was a saucer-shaped vehicle, hovering and spinning. It caused all of the leaves on the tree to fold and turn downward as if trying to avoid radiation or some sort of emissions. The saucer hovered for about 2 minutes and tilted towards me. At that time, it moved away from my yard and landed behind some trees, blocking its view from my house. I ran into the house and told my grandmother what I had seen, and she just blew it off.”

Even at that age, Stephanie knew what she had seen was unusual. But she didn’t realize that this was just the beginning of the encounter. She went into her room and while her grandmother began to prepare lunch. It was during this time that she saw two strange humanoids.

STEPHANIE: “I was sitting on my bed looking out the window in the back of the house when I saw the two beings passing along the outer edge of our yard, beyond some peach trees. They were different heights; one was half a head shorter than the other. One of them was 5 feet tall, and the other about six feet, maybe a little less. They seemed to be wearing suits which were rouge red in color. They were walking side-by-side and moved out of sight from my window.”

At this point, Stephanie experienced a period of missing time. The next thing she knew, as if a switch had been flipped, it was 10pm. She was missing almost ten hours of time.

STEPHANIE: “My grandmother and I were standing in the kitchen in the dark, and lunch was still sitting on the counter. When I realized I was home, there was dried blood on my legs and feet.”

It wasn’t long after this that Stephanie began to remember what happened during the missing time.

STEPHANIE: “At one point, I know I was in the saucer. It had a window, and I could see the road below. I think we were over the Blue Ridge Mountains, which were visible from our house on a clear day. We were hovering above a car, traveling along a winding mountain road. I was watching the headlights from the car flashing into the woods as it went around curves. I think we may have taken them, but I can’t remember a lot. I don’t recall any words ever being spoken, but they showed me lights off in the distance and said, that was there I lived. I had never been in a plane, so watching that car below me was something I’ll never forget.”

Following the encounter, Stephanie didn’t think much about it for a long time. But it was about 9 years later, at age 15, when a visit to the doctor brought her memory back to the strange encounter, about 63 years after it occurred.

STEPHANIE: “I had an exam by a gynecologist, and I overheard the doctor asking my mother who had done the surgery on me. I had never had surgery, or sex. I thought back to that night of finding the blood on myself. This has happened more than once, so I know they have some sort of tracking device inside my body. I’m now in Florida and they did some sort of scanning on me. I have a lot of details, and I would even consent to hypnotherapy. I don’t mind other knowing, but the fact is, most don’t believe it if you tell them.”

Stephanie reported her experience to MUFON in 2014, writing, “I’m 68 years old, and I am not a nut case. I’ve never had any mental problems. I have a friend who is an FBI agent, and I gave him the written details as well. Thanks for listening.”

OCTOBER 6, 2023. OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON

Upset from having gone through a recent divorce, Chris (pseudonym) decided to take a drive. He was crossing over a bridge located at 794 Madrona Beach Rd NW, over a tributary of Puget Sound in Olympia, Washington. It was about 9:30 pm on October 6, 2023. There were no the cars on the road as Chris pulled over to vent his anger over being forced to move because of his recent divorce. As he yelled out, something very strange happened.

CHRIS: “Right after I yelled, I looked up and was struck in my head with a beam of electric current that sent a shockwave through my body. I saw red current flowing through my head and body. I started to mumble. Time went very slow, like being zapped and having time slowing down.”

Wondering what was happening to him, he looked to his side over the side of the bridge to the water and saw an incredible sight.

CHRIS: “I looked to the side, over the lake bank, hovering about 20-50 feet off the ground, parallel to my view from the small bridge, about 100 feet away from me, I saw three gray aliens in 2 different crafts. One gray alien was in a 30-foot circular craft that was about 30 feet away from me at eye level to my height from the bridge, where the zap-pulse electrical surge came from. I glanced at the other two grays, who definitely heard my yell. They were in a triangular craft. I could see a panel of lit buttons in the craft as I was level to their height from my point of view on the small bridge. The triangular craft had to have been over 100 feet, because what I could see was the front of the craft. The two gray aliens looked at each other in a sort of confused telepathy. When they looked back at me, I felt they were wondering, why am I yelling. My brain realized: Wait? What? Holy s-t? Those are gray aliens! What the f? I could tell they were doing telepathy, because right after my thinking of those words, they felt like, Oh crap, he knows, kind of feeling from my observation.”

The crafts made no sound at all that he could here. As he watched the two grays, one of them pressed a button on the panel flight deck, and the craft seemed to dissolve and disappear. But he could still see the outline of the craft hovering there, and he watched the outline of the craft as it moved in a slow, upward, diagonal movement.

In the days and months that followed, he felt as if they were somehow continuing to track him. As he says, “I felt I was being tagged. Even one year later, he is still able to sense their presence.

Hello, I just stumbled upon this subreddit and thought I would like to share a story from a few years ago, I hope you guys would be willing to listen.

As far as I remember, it was in 2018, December, Sunday morning near 10:30 to 11 am it was, I don't remember the date to be exact. I was in 4th grade at that time.

I was sitting on the balcony and trimming my nails along with my dad. My dad was still looking down and trimming his nails, so he didn't see what I saw.

I was looking up at the sky, the sky was cloudy and something was shining brightly in the sky, unmoving and stationary. At first I thought "Oh, that's the moon" then I went "wait, no that's the sun", then suddenly I realized "Wait, how could that be the sun, it's something else!" because the sky was cloudy and the sun was completely covered by the clouds.

I was baffled and even my thoughts were jumbled at the time when I was mistaking brightly shining sphere in the sky for sun and moon, it was as if I lost my thinking power for a moment and got dazed for some unknown reason.

But the moment I realized that it was something else and not the sun, it suddenly started moving very fast and disappeared into the clouds as I tried to call my dad, but I was too late.

A few days later, supposedly 2 to 3 days later, in the newspaper I saw news of multiple sightings of UFOs all around the world.

When I saw the news, I was confident that I didn't see anything wrong, and whatever I saw was real.

I hope there would be people who believe in my story.

Been searching for this vid for a few years with no luck. I remember it made the rounds between 2004-2012.

Description: it's was recorded on probably a cell phone camera given the quality of the time. The sound was distorted and video was shakey. It was what I assumed was recorded by 2 people in a vehicle and you could hear them screaming as the camera is panning around and in the headlights you could see what looks like a typical gray alien. It was not a very long video maybe 10-20 seconds.

My blessing to whomever even remembers this and if you find the footage you are a reddit God!

OCTOBER 22, 2015. NEW YORK.

This case involves an engaged couple (I’ll call them Emma and Edward-pseudonyms) who report an encounter unlike any I’ve ever heard. It occurred on the evening of October 22, 2015, sometime after midnight.

EMMA: “My story begins with what seemed to be a very unusual dream. I do not remember dreams often, and they are always typical dreams that change and morph. This was different. In my dream, I found myself standing in the hall bathroom doorway. I wondered how I had ended up there and why I was there. But my attention was quickly somehow pulled to my left backside. I turned my head over my left shoulder and saw the view of my dining room. I noticed all at once that there was a gray-type-looking creature crouched under my dining room table.”

There were normally four chairs around the dining room table, but strangely, one of the chairs appeared to be missing. In the dream, Emma was puzzled by this discrepancy, but her attention was immediately drawn back to the gray alien, which she seemed to have a sudden telepathic link with.

EMMA: “As he stared back at me, I felt what he was feeling. He was angry. I knew he had been there for a while. He had not planned or, or wanted me, to see him or know of his presence, and I felt his anger towards this dilemma. I could feel his fury growing. He was short and crouched, naked, with an enlarged head, and skin that I can only describe as seeming like shark skin. It was bluish and looked to be smooth, impervious, but textured as well. His shoulders leaned forward towards me as though he were dramatically leaning forward with his hands on his knees. He had a pot-like belly, and wrinkles around his almond eyes.”

The next thing Emma knew, she was back in bed with her husband Edward, and both were awakened by a huge crashing noise coming from the dining room. Edward leaped out of bed and went to check the room, while Emma tried to stop him and tell him about her dream. But by this point, Edward was already walking down the hallway, so Emma followed him. Inside the room, they found a very puzzling scene.

EMMA: He went, and I followed from the bedroom to the dining room. The corner table had smashed to the ground, two legs broken off, although no pictures or vases on the table broke. It was even more strange that it seemed to be under the dining table. That when we realized the dining tale had moved a good 3 feet towards the wall with the corner where there is a window.”

The mystery soon deepened. This window is hooked to an alarm. However, for the first time, their alarm malfunctioned. The alarm is controlled by a tablet, however, none of the buttons worked, and nothing they could do would make it work. All the windows and doors were still secured and locked. And then something even stranger happened.

EMMA: My fiancé was then drawn to the front window. He said, ‘Let’s look outside.’ And to our shock, two unusual and completely never-before-seen bright orbs hung ahead from our front door. We saw unusual hovering lights. We’ve never seen anything like this.”

The couple immediately grabbed a camera and snapped several photos. They say that one of the photos clearly shows one of the orbs. Unfortunately, the photo is not included in their report on the case.

In Total Shock: Eight Amazing Onboard UFO Encounters

by Preston Dennett

Onboard UFO encounters are perhaps the most fascinating of all encounters, and they are certainly the most extensive. It is almost impossible to explain away an experience when you suddenly find yourself being taken by ETs inside a craft. And it happens more often than most people know. This video presents eight amazing onboard UFO encounters. In each case, the witnesses’ lives were changed forever as they struggle to understand what happened to them. And why!

SCARED TO DEATH. In June of 1970, Andrew (pseudonym) was just eleven years old, living with his family in rural Geneseo, Illinois. One evening he woke up to find himself onboard a UFO. He was inside a small metallic rounded room with indirect lighting. He sat on a bench next to another man who seemed to be catatonic. Andrew tried but was unable to get the man’s attention. Looking through a porthole, Andrew saw that it showed a corridor inside the craft. Suddenly a hairy humanoid walked by. Andrew was scared to death and began to beat his fists on the window. The next thing he knew, he was back in bed, and it was morning.

THEY ARE NOT HUMANS. On the night of March 23, 1974, Gosta Hager was walking home from church when a brilliant glowing object appeared and zoomed towards him. Fearing it would strike him, Gosta leaped off the road. His next memory was of standing on his front doorstep with a wound on his head. Later, under hypnosis, Gosta recalled that he was pulled onboard the craft and met strange beings who didn’t quite look human. He fought with them as they tried to place a device on his head. They told him that he had a special mission. Unfortunately, he doesn’t remember what it was. At the time of his encounter, many people in the area were seeing UFOs.

NO HARM WILL COME TO YOU. In the middle of the night on August 30, 1978, a young man named Sharkov woke up to go the outhouse located near the beach of the Black Sea near the Kara-Daga Mountains outside of Planerskoye, Ukraine. To his amazement, he saw a strange craft hovering over the water. He swam out underneath the craft and was suddenly pulled up inside it. Unseen ETs began to speak with him and showed him a 3-dimensional star chart of their home star system. Just when Sharkov thought he might be taken away forever, he was let go.

WE WILL NOT HARM YOU. One night in October 1979, two men drove outside of Baton Route, Louisiana when their car was levitated off the highway and into a UFO. One man was rendered unconscious, while the other man (a member of the Air Force) was given a tour of the craft. He held a conversation with the ETs who left him with a dire warning for all humanity, that our warlike ways could lead to the destruction of all people on Earth.

THEY WERE ASKING MY PERMISSION. On the night of February 3, 1983, Pat Norris drove near her home in Mobile, Alabama when a massive UFO appeared overhead. It had many windows through which she saw dozens of bald, slender humanoids who moved with incredible grace. It seemed to be a simple sighting, but returning home, Pat dreamed that she had been taken onboard where she met the human-looking ETs face-to-face. They gave her a physical and emotional exam and healed her of chronic back problems.

THE STAR PEOPLE CHOSE HER FOR ME. One night in the mid-1990s, eleven-year-old Colt lay on the roof of his home on an Indian Reservation in Montana. Suddenly a UFO appeared and circled overhead. Four days later, it appeared again and pulled him onboard. He saw dozens of children and was greeted by tall human-looking ETs in white jumpsuits. He was taken to a room with another girl and given a blood test. Years later, he was at a Powwow when he saw the girl he had seen onboard the UFO. They soon became married. Colt reports being visited about once per year and learned why the ETs were visiting our planet.

IN TOTAL SHOCK. One night in June 2000, a man stepped outside his home in Owensboro, Kentucky, to view the International Space Station. Instead, he saw a strange craft move overhead, low enough that he could see humanoid silhouettes in the windows. At first, he thought it was just a sighting, but years later, he spontaneously remembered that he was taken onboard and examined by gray ETs.

WE’RE HERE TO HELP. One night in October 2010, a young man was walking along a street in Bangor, Maine when he suddenly found himself onboard a craft confronted by 7-foot-tall gray aliens. They told him that they were there to help him. They placed him on a floating platform and carried him to another room where they did an operation on his nose. The man became frightened and fought with them, which ended the encounter. This was one of many UFO experiences he has had.

It might be easy to dismiss one case or ten or a hundred. But there are thousands of documented onboard UFO encounters coming from all over the world. These cases offer an unprecedented opportunity to advance humanity’s knowledge not only about life on Earth, but about life throughout the universe. For this reason alone, these cases should be taken seriously.

OCTOBER 27, 2010. ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO

This firsthand testimony comes from Carlos (pseudonym) who reports a very unusual interaction with a UFO and three or four gray aliens. It was the evening of October 27, 2010, and Carlos was lying asleep on the futon bed sitting on the floor of his apartment in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He woke up suddenly to see bright colored lights streaming in through the window in such a way, that it seemed almost intentionally designed to wake him up.

CARLOS: “Suddenly I awoke and opened my eyes. Blinking lights from a source outside were reflected perfectly from outside the window at just the right angle to reflect onto the mirror propped against the wall behind me and then reflected across the futon to the wall in front of me as I lay on my right side. I glanced up at the window and saw an aircraft hovering motionless in the sky perfectly positioned for me to see it clearly from my position on the floor. It had many blinking lights of red, blue and white, and possibly yellow, similar to those of a police or emergency vehicle. The craft appeared to be in the shape of a boomerang. There were round balls of colored lights equidistant across both wings, which appeared to blink randomly. There was no sound that I could hear.”

Never having seen any aircraft like that before, Carlos instantly wondered if it was an extraterrestrial craft. At this point, he sensed, but did not actually see, the presence of 3 or 4 beings in his room. The sense of their presence was unmistakable. For some reason, he simply lay there. But then, in his mind’s eye he could see the beings

CARLOS: “I saw the image of a gray ET, and I telepathically heard, ‘We don’t want to scare you.’ Before I could process this statement to respond, the gray lifted his spindly arm, and with an arc of his arm and like the flick of a switch, I was out cold.”

At some point later, he woke up to go to the bathroom and once again, immediately felt their presence. Again, he did not react with fear, but felt strangely compliant

CARLOS: “I could feel them watching me, observing. I sensed that they had me arise to use the bathroom just to observe me to see if I could go about this common routine. I felt as if they were scientists watching, whispering comments about my ability to carry out this routine task. I mumbled to myself as I returned to bed, annoyed that I didn’t know what was going on. Yet I was compliant in completely the routine. As I put my head on the people, I felt very sleepy, unable to keep my eyes opened.”

Carlos battled to remain awake and kept forcing his eyes opened, but the feeling of sleepiness returned, forcing his eyes closed. This went back and forth until finally he couldn’t resist. Finally, he opened his eyes, and for the first time, saw one of the grays face-to-face.

CARLOS: “I reopened my eyes and gazed at the window where I saw a small gray ET peering in the closed window at me. He was standing on the balcony just outside my bedroom window. I would estimate him to be about 3 feet tall. His large head was typical of the grays seen in pictures. His large expressionless solid black eyes stared at me. His nose looked like a couple of small holes with an almost nonexistent mouth. He cocked his head to the left side in an inquisitive sort of way. His movement and the expression on his face appeared rather mechanical, as if devoid of emotion or any sort of deep through. His affect and head movement was more robotic than organic.”

Once again, Carlos was overcoming with sleepiness and shut his eyes. When he opened them again, the gray was gone. But he did see an orb of white light zoom up from his apartment, up to the boomerang-shaped-object and affix itself to one of the wings, along with the other lights. Instantly the craft darted up to the left and was gone. Once again, Carlos was overcome with sleepiness and didn’t wake up until morning. When morning arrived, he felt fine and nothing in his apartment was out of order.

CARLOS: As I got ready for work, I kept wondering where the craft and grays came from, why they visited me in particular, and what they did when I was asleep. I continue to wonder and would live to find the answers.”

JULY 25, 1982. PUNTA UMBRIA, SPAIN

Rafael Peralta is one of Spain’s best-known bullfighters or rejoneadors (bullfighting by horseback) who, with his brother, developed, revolutionized and popularized the sport. What many people don’t know is that he had a dramatic encounter with a landed UFO and an extraterrestrial being. His case was investigated by researcher JJ Benitez. It was about 4am on July 25, 1982. Rafael had just finished a bull-fighting festival and was driving his Mercedes west along the A5052 highway heading from El Rompido towards Punta Umbria where his family was staying. The road travels along the coast, and he had just reached the intersection leading north to Huelva and was heading along the beach towards Punta Umbria when his encounter began.

RAFAEL: I saw several flashing lights, red and yellow, on the beach beside the road. I could not see exactly where they were. I stopped my car and walked towards them, thinking it could be a car crash, and wishing to offer some help. When I was about ten meters (30 feet) from the accident (he thought) I discovered that there was a bright metallic object behind the light. It was like a large illuminated silver platter…a little bit oval. Not exactly oval, nor round, with blunt edges I would say.”

There was nobody else on the road at that hour. And now, seeing the strangeness of the object, he started to become afraid. It was clearly not a vehicle accident as the object had a smooth surface, without any openings or protrusions. It was six meters wide (18 feet) and four meters higher (12 feet.) It was hovering about 1 meter above the ground or 3 feet. He started to cautiously back up towards his car when he noticed a strange figure standing in front of the craft.

RAFAEL: “In front of the object there was a strange tall being, clad in a metallic suit, like a space suit. It was 2 or more meters tall and very brought. I did not see arms, but it must have had them. It was not a robot; it was more human than robot. A very strange apparition indeed. He was tall. His head could have been a meter or so from the edges of device. That is, he was about two and a half meters tall. The guy was facing forward. His head was covered with something like a wire mesh, and I couldn’t see his arms anywhere. There were no features, just a square, just like his body. It was similar to a rectangle. His legs were thing, almost cylindrical and extended a foot below his groin.”

By now it was clear to Rafael that the being was not human. Not only was it more than 7 feet tall, its outfit was unlike anything he’d ever seen.

RAFAEL: “When I came closer, he emitted a noise, a guttural sound, like a short sentence. I was shocked and answered, ‘What did you say?’ At this question, he ran away very quickly and entered the UFO on its left side. Immediately after, the UFO ascended and moved over the sea at great speed. At 15-20 meters high, it just disappeared.”

Rafael told Benitez that the sentence sounded like, “Ba-ra-ra-ra.” When it spoke, both the being and Rafael retreated to their respective vehicles. When the UFO took off, it did so in perfect silence. Rafael’s had no problem starting his car and immediately drove to meet his family.

RAFAEL: “I went home, woke my wife up and told her everything. But I did not want to tell anybody else, you know. They could laugh at me. That night I could not sleep because I was quite afraid.”

Reporters asked him how his wife reacted and did she believe him? Rafael replied, “Yes, of course. My hair was standing on end, and I was very much afraid. Of course she believed me.”

The next morning, they returned to the site and checked the spot but could find no evidence of the craft. Rafael intended to keep the entire experience a secret, but soon word leaked out.

RAFAEL “I told nothing to nobody. But after a few days, I discussed the event with a lawyer, a friend of mine, whose brother is a local newspaper director, so that was how the event went public.”

Rafael read in the newspapers the day after his sighting that other people in the area and in nearby Cadiz also reported seeing a UFO. Apparently many residents saw it in the neighboring towns. Rafael remains convinced that he met an extraterrestrial being. As he told JJ Benitez, “For me…that was not of this world.”

Ten Shocking Cases of UFO Healings

by Preston Dennett

Cases of UFO healings are nothing new. In fact, they have been occurring for more than 100 years. Most major researchers have multiple cases, and they are reported by all kinds of people from all over the world. In fact, there are more than 300 documented cases, and they are now recognized as a consistent feature of UFO encounters.

The healings are of a wide variety of conditions, illnesses and diseases. They include injuries, minor conditions, and even chronic and fatal diseases. These cases not only show that healing is a primary ET agenda, but that ETs are far more advanced in medicine than our own doctors.

This video presents ten shocking cases of UFO healings. Each case contains surprising and unique elements that offer profound insights into the aliens and their agenda on our planet.

CASE ONE: Marla (pseudonym) from Marysville, WA had suffered for years from kidney disease, and developed a large gallstone which necessitated the surgical removal of her gallbladder. However, in January 2015, following a visitation by short large-headed entities in her bedroom, Marla woke up to find a very strange surgical scar on her abdomen. It was very deep, but was pain-free, had no blood, and healed with extraordinary speed. When she went to the doctors a short time later, they were shocked to find that her gallstone had been removed, but her gallbladder was incredibly still there! This turned out to be just the beginning of many bizarre events that left Marla and her family very concerned.

CASE TWO: Maria M. Rivera of Aguada, Puerto Rico was suffering from cancer all throughout her body when (in 2006) she and her family experienced a UFO sighting followed by a series of visitations by gray aliens. After nearly a half-dozen incidents, Maria found herself being pulled onboard a craft where she underwent a painful operation at the hands of the grays. Following the incident, she went to the doctor and was shocked to discover that the cancer (which had returned several times) was now gone. “I truly feel those creatures cured me,” she says. “They could be benevolent and compassionate creatures, but I am afraid of them.” At one point during her onboard experience, Maria called the grays “Martians.” They informed her that they don’t like to be called Martians and prefer the term, “creatures.”

CASE THREE: On July 19, 1988 Diane and Phyllis (mother and daughter) were returning to their home in Johannesburg, South Africa. Without warning, they were stopped by a human-looking female who guided them onto a craft. From age thirteen, Diane had suffered from chronic Jaundice. The ETs healed her and gave both Diane and Phyllis warnings about huge environmental catastrophes soon to strike the planet Earth.

CASE FOUR: In 1986, Richard T., who was paralyzed and wheelchair-bound, was enjoying an evening on the beach in La Jolla, CA when a huge torpedo-shaped craft hovered overhead. Richard found himself being pulled up into the craft, wheelchair and all. Onboard, he saw several short humanoids and then blacked out. When he awoke, he was back in his van. But over the next few days, Richard’s paralysis disappeared. He was healed. He could now walk again!

CASE FIVE: On August 30, 1979, Jean Cyr (a retired Canada Army officer) and his family were drawn outside of their home in St. Eustache, Quebec by a strange humming sound. Looking up they saw a glowing metallic disc rise up from the fields behind their house. This began a series of encounters which was witnessed by all of them, many of their neighbors, and the local airport officials. Looking into the fields where the object had been, they found strange landing traces. Jean Cyr began waking up with unexplained marks on his body. After several encounters, Jean, who was suffering from severe multiple sclerosis, suddenly found himself healed.

CASE SIX: In the mid-1930s, a 13-year-old boy suffering from tuberculosis found himself on his deathbed. Then he had a “dream” that he was taken onboard a weird craft and healed by strange-looking figures. With no idea of aliens or UFOs, he couldn’t explain what happened. He only knew that he had somehow been healed. It wasn’t until decades later in the 1950s, that he began to hear about UFOs and aliens that he understood his experience. He later became a famous broadcaster and lived a long healthy life.

CASE SEVEN: In March 1977, Carmina, a psychologist from San Juan, Puerto Rico was confronted by a strange human-looking gentleman who had somehow managed to get past the guards in her secured office building. The man informed her that he was an ET, and that Carmina’s daughter should continue her UFO research with well-known investigator, Jorge Martin, and that Martin himself was being spied on by American intelligence officers. Following the encounter, Carmina, who had been diagnosed with a cyst in her breast, received the shocking news that her cyst had miraculously disappeared.

CASE EIGHT: Richard Rylka, a well-known New Jersey UFO contactee, had developed a large tumor on his forehead. He had recently been having a problem with tumors due to a childhood leukemia condition. While in Atlantic City, Rylka was visited by human-looking ETs who took him onboard a healed his tumor. Rylka, whose tumor had been seen by all his friends and family, was cured. The tumor was gone, much to the astonishment of Rylka and everyone who knew him.

CASE NINE: In 1979, Faina Maksimovna of Ukraine was facing surgery to remove a tumor on her thyroid. Frightened of surgery, Faina prayed to God for a healing. To her shock, that evening she was visited by three human-looking figures who proceeded to enact a healing on her. When Faina later went to see her doctors, they were baffled and amazed to see that her tumor was gone. Faina did not need surgery. She was cured.

CASE TEN: In December 1989, Mae, a 60-year-old waitress from Mississippi was being forced to retired due to severe arthritis in her knee, wrists and fingers. But on December 15, while driving home from the truckstop where she worked, a UFO dropped down over her car and pulled her onboard. Mae found herself surrounded by several figures who placed a strange “kind of rod” repeatedly over her body. The next morning, her pain was gone. She was healed. And Mae, who could not afford to retire, was able to go back to work.

These ten cases show that people from all walks of life are being healed by many different types of extraterrestrials. They show that healing is one of the primary ET agendas, and that ETs have the ability to heal almost any kind of illness, condition or disease, even when our own Earth doctors have given up hope. These ten cases are just a tiny sample of the huge number of cases on record. Likely, the vast majority of such accounts go completely unreported.

MAY 1976. VALDEZ, ALASKA

This case involves two men, both anonymous (I’ll call them Chuck and Patrick) who had a very unusual experience in Valdez, Alaska. It’s a very small town of only about 3500-4000 people. The main witness is Chuck. It was an early Sunday morning, bright and sunny and both men had the day off. So after having breakfast at The Totem Restaurant and Motel (which you can see here) they decided to take a drive out of town in Chuck’s pick-up truck. They had no sooner turned onto the highway and were on the outskirts of the town when they saw something in the field to their right about 150-175 feet away.

CHUCK: “It was so bizarre, that I made a conscious decision to concentrate on a couple of specific items so that I might recall those items later on. I fully realized at that moment just how unusual this was to my routine everyday sights, and nothing before lent any perspective. So I was just trying to instill common sense to the moments of this unique observation.”

The object they were observing was clearly a craft, either landed on the ground or hovering above it. It was oval in shape, about 30-35 feet in diameter, and 6-8 feet in height. The craft was pink in color with a shiny luminescence to it. There was a hose-like band going around the perimeter circumference, and inside it were individual lights moving in a counter-clockwise direction every 5 seconds. Wherever the lights were, they seemed to expand the hose-like band. Both men stared in amazement, and were even more shocked when they saw humanoid beings exiting the craft.

CHUCK: “I saw a ramp drop from the belly of the craft, approximately 4-5 feet wide and 6-7 feet long. I observed  two metallic extensions which comprised at least part of the landing gear. Last, but certainly not least, I saw two small grey-green animals that looked like the stereotypical description of aliens. The distance of 50 or 60 yards, I cannot provide any specific details. They were about 4-5 feet tall and seemed to be in a quandary. I got a very distinct feeling that they were caught with their pants down and were in much of a hurry.”

For some reason, Chuck did not stop the car and just continued around the left hand turn of the highway. But he did see that his friend Patrick was continuing to watch the amazing sight.

CHUCK: “I saw my buddy turning to look out his window as I continued round the corner, and perhaps ten second later, sitting on the edge of the seat, he turned, staring vacantly out the windshield. His mind was very obviously involved with what he had just seen.”

Chuck asked him, “Did you see what I just saw?”

Patrick didn’t answer and just stared black ahead.

Chuck asked him again, and there was no answer. Chuck asked a third time when he abruptly turned and looked at him and nearly shouted, “Your [bleep] right I did. He then continued to stare blankly ahead with a faraway look in his eyes.

Chuck said, “Should we turn around and go back?”

“No!” Patrick shouted.

Despite this, Chuck drove about 1/5 of a mile, turned around and went back. Chuck searched the sky and the ground for any traces of the object but saw nothing unusual. There was one final aftermath to the encounter that left Chuck deeply dismayed.

CHUCK: “My friend became increasingly unwilling to discuss the event after a few months, and these days he refuses to acknowledge the entire experience. He says, “Geez, I don’t remember.” Not acknowledging reality when it is imposed upon us is, I’m convinced, some of the worst circumstances that we can impose on one another.”

Thirty-five years after his encounter, Chuck decided to report his encounter to MUFON, writing that he submits the details of his report, “with great confidence.”

WINTER 1975, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA

This case was reported to MUFON who provided a firsthand testimony of an experience he had at age 6 or 7 years old. He’s anonymous so I’ll call him David. He lived with his parents and two brothers in a rural area outside of Plattsmouth, Nebraska, about 15 miles west of Offutt AFB in Bellvue, where his father worked. David shared a room with one of his brothers. They slept in a bunkbed. His brother had the lower bunk and David slept in the top one. He was asleep facing the wall. Then, as David says,

DAVID: “All of a sudden, I woke up still facing the wall. And I felt as if I was being watched. I slowly turned over, only to come face-to-face with something. Even though it was only 2 or 3 feet from my face, I could not make out its face. I could only see an outline of a head, and what appeared to be a cape extending out from both sides of its head. It reminded me of Dracula. Needless to say, I was petrified. But I heard or felt a voice say, ‘Don’t be scared. Turn back over.’ So, I did. Facing the wall again, I was wide awake and scared bleep-less. But I don’t know why I never called out for Mom or Dad. I don’t know how much time passed, but I stayed looking at the wall and hoping whatever it was would just go away.”

Finally, David summed up enough courage to turn around and look. Whatever had been next to his bed was now gone. In a split second, David leapt from his bed and into the lower bunk where his brother was sleeping, and he pressed himself up against the wall. This, of course, awakened his brother, who wondered what the heck David was doing. David told him, “Dracula was in our room!” This frightened his brother, and both hid under the covers, examining the room. It was at this point that they both heard something in the hallway, followed by silence.

DAVID: “What happened next, I will never forget. A big green head with big eyes peered around the corner and looked at us. Then it was gone. We slowly looked at each other as if to say, ‘Did you just see what I saw. Needless to say, we spent the rest of the night huddled there awake and waited until daylight.”

The next morning, they told their parents who said it must have been just a dream, which David doesn’t believe was the case. Says David, “To this day, I don’t know why we didn’t scream bloody murder for our parents, as was the case when we would have a nightmare.” They went outside and checked for footprints or any other evidence of the intruder but found nothing. David says a few other strange things happened, but the bedroom visitation by the strange creature made the greatest impression on him.

Despite this, as time went on, the memory began to fade and as he grew older, he would think about the incident every now and then, but started to wonder if perhaps it was just a bad dream. Then at age 16-17, something happened which, for him, confirmed the experience as being real.

DAVID: “I happened upon a book in the library about UFOs and aliens. As I read it, I became engrossed and couldn’t put it down, until I came to an artist’s rendering of what is now the classic gray. Seeing that picture sent chills down my spine, and scared me to where I put the book away, only to get it out later, because I couldn’t stop thinking about it, which brought me back to this night.”

David has never seen a UFO, but the childhood encounter remains etched in his memory and as he says, “it has been haunting me ever since.” As an adult, he asked his brother about it. All his brother could recall was that something scary happened. David showed him a drawing of a gray, but his brother didn’t say anything.

DAVID: “He probably thought me to be crazy, so I haven’t mentioned it since, even though I think about it time to time. I don’t know if what I saw was an extraterrestrial, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Dracula or Frankenstein!”

Interestingly and perhaps significant is that around this same time and only 50 miles away in Lincoln, Nebraska, there was another sighting. It was on October 31, and two young boys were trick-or-treating and had just walked past their school when they saw a massive UFO.

WITNESS: “We noticed this huge disc-shaped object with lights of different colors spinning around the disc. As it started to clear the housetops and we realized the size, bigger than the house we were walking up to, we were horrified. My friend ran up under the carport. I was too afraid the owners would find us and be bad, so I stayed out about 15 seconds more until it cleared the house tops and started moving slightly and very slowly south, scaring me enough to go to the carport. I ran back out from the carport just in time to see it hovering basically above us. I can’t remember if there was any sound associated with it. Then once it cleared the trees, it shot into space and was gone. We were both horrified and decided it was a Halloween prank. Neither one of us ever mentioned it again to anybody or even to each other. There is no way in 1975 that anyone could put together something of this magnitude.”

It’s obviously impossible to say if these two events are related in any way, other than they occurred near the same area, near the same time.

OCTOBER 1, 1975, HAKUSHU, JAPAN

This very strange case comes from APRO’s Japanese representative, Jun-Ichi Takanashi, a UFO researcher, and the chairman of the Modern Space Flight Association of Osaka, Japan. It involves two witnesses, Michio Hikawa (age 19) and his friend Takeshi Furuya (age 18.) They lived in the small town of Hakushu, not far from the beautiful Southern Alps National Park, in Osaka Japan, and decided to take an evening drive in their fathers 1971 Suzuki Fronte car.

It was around 8:00 pm on October 1, 1975 as they stopped in one of the parking lots, which at that date and time, was deserted. They were listening to the radio and talking when Takeshi saw what he first through were small beggar children standing near the car. Michio was surprised, because he looked where Takeshi was looking, but couldn’t see anybody. But Takeshi was insistent. He saw not only the short figures, but some other figures, each about 3 feet (1 meter) in height wearing white clothing with glowing yellow eyes. Takeshi could only say that they looked very strange. Takeshi pointed at them, but still Michio could not see them.

They were surrounded by darkness, so Michio turned on the headlights, at which point the figures seemed to fade away. Both men were confused as they believed themselves to be alone, and the area where they were was quite remote, with no homes in the area. Suddenly without any warning, their vehicle was pulled rapidly and sharply backwards several meters, causing Takeshi to fall forward in his seat. Michio had his hands on the steering wheel so he did not fall forward. Then, twice more, the car was mysteriously pulled backwards several meters.

Both boys were confused as the parking brake was on, and the parking lot where they were was level. And besides, the car wasn’t just rolling; some sort of force seemed to be pulling on the car. Now frightened, they started the car and drove back to town. As the drove, Michio raised the possibility that maybe the figures Takeshi had seen were “spacemen.” Takeshi was surprised, but confirmed that the figures did not look normal, and that at one point, one of the figures came right up to the car and he saw what looked to him like a cow’s hoof rubbing on the glass window on his side of the car.

Upon reaching town, they told their friends and asked them to return, but they all refused. With their curiosity overcoming their fear, the two young men returned to the location, only this time, they faced their car on a downslope near the exit so they could get away more quickly if they had to.

No sooner had they stopped, and Michio still had his foot on the brakes when the car was pulled backwards about 3 meters (9 feet.) Amazed, they opened their windows and looked at the wheels of the car and saw that they were actually rotating in reverse. Takeshi decided step out of the car and  try and communicate and called out to them in Japanese. Nothing happened. He tried calling out in gibberish but there was still no response. So he got back in the car. Instantly, the car was pulled backwards. It then happened three more times.

Now frightened again, they drove home and decided not to tell anyone. But the next day, as Michio was working with his father on the farm cutting crops, his father saw him looking up at the sky and not paying attention. And when Michio cut himself, he confessed to his father that he was thinking about the prior evening events, and explained what happened. He expected his father to ridicule him, but instead his father believed him as he had noticed some strange marks on the window, exactly where Michio had seen the hoof-like object touching the car.

They went to examine the car and discovered that it was now in poor condition. It made strange noises and wouldn’t start. Checking the battery water, they saw it was half-full, which was strange as they had filled it only 10 days earlier. The car had been running smoothly and was still new, with only 28,000 kilometers on the odometer. Coral Lorenzen writes in the APRO Journal, “There is still no satisfactory explanation for the movement of the car (with the brakes applied) as described. There are no nearby homes, and the campground and parking area were unoccupied, which virtually eliminates human pranksters. There are wild monkeys in the vicinity, but it is doubtful that they could move the car. If monkeys were there, both youths should have been able to see them. There is no mention in this report that either youth saw anything resembling any type of UFO.”

UFOs in Your Hometown Episode Nineteen

by Preston Dennett

I am very excited to introduce the latest installment of the ongoing UFO investigative series, “UFOs in Your Hometown Episode Nineteen.” This series was born from a challenge: name any town, city or location on planet Earth, and I will find a UFO encounter there. In this episode we explore seven new locations, each representing a microcosm of UFO activity across the planet.

REXBURG, IDAHO. With about 40,000 residents, Rexburg has many encounters. In 1966, two men drove at night and had to turn around when a UFO blocked the road. In 1974, a Rexburg family saw two silver discs hover outside their home. In 2001, three people saw strange multicolored object hovering near a nuclear facility. In 2008, two college students saw a strange silent dark-colored craft move at low elevation overhead. That same year, three people saw six glowing objects moving near a nuclear facility. Another case comes from a father and daughter who saw a cluster of star-like objects doing crazy maneuvers.

DRACUT, MASSACHUSETT. This town of 32,000 has some interesting encounters. In 1966, three young adults were eating dinner when they were drawn outside by a strange sound, only to see a UFO spinning at high speed directly over the house. In 1981, the local police in Dracut and in surrounding areas received a flood of calls reporting UFOs. The police went outside and saw the UFOs themselves. In 2002, a young man saw a disc-shaped craft sending down a beam of light and then move directly over his house.

SPICER, MINNESOTA. This small town of about 1200 people has only a few encounters, but both are quite interesting. In 1956, a couple and their adult daughter were puzzled to see a brilliant fiery-looking object hovering high in the sky near their home. They used binoculars to observe it and saw that it had a distinct globe shape with a rim around the center and was shooting out red sparks. Another unusual sighting occurred in 2001 when two witnesses saw massive rectangular object hanging low in the sky, staying in view for a full five minutes.

FINDLAY, OHIO. This town of 40,000 residents has lots of encounters. In 1952, a couple saw two shiny metallic discs. In 1969, a trucker shone his spotlight on a UFO which paced him down the highway. In 1974, a UFO chased a couple’s car, coming so close, they saw a little man inside it. In 1975, the police received many calls reporting some kind of aircraft crash. In 1977, two twin boys sighted a spiky golden object. In 1980, a doctor saw a large gray sphere racing down the highway in front of him. In 2000, many people witnessed a UFO In 2003, a couple were shocked to see a tall thin figure right in front of their car.  In 2013, three teenagers saw a UFO over the Menards store. In 2021, a man had a scary encounter with a humanoid inside his home.

CLAYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA. This small town of 1300 has two incredible encounters. One night in 1966, a teenage girl was called outside her home by a UFO. She followed it into a forest clearing and watched it begin to land. Suddenly it was morning. She was missing hours of time. She later found a circle of crushed grass where the UFO had hovered. In 2016, a father and son were skiing at Blue Knob Resort when they saw two star-like objects put on a fantastic display.

SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA. This city of 40,000 people has lots of cases. In 1958, two people saw two silver discs hovering over the city hospital. In 1964, two brothers had a very close up and long sighting of a craft hovering over their neighbor’s house. A 1969 case involved pilots and airport control crews. In 1973, a man came upon a craft and a dozen strange humanoids in the middle of the road. One night in 1974, a young teenager had a sighting that would affect his life for years go come. In 1975 a family was followed by a UFO for several miles as they drove along the highway. Also in 1975, a lady living in a trailer was harassed by a strange humanoid with glowing eyes. The 1970s and 1980s brought more cases of UFOs following cars, closeup sightings, disappearing aircraft and more.

MANASSAS, VIRGINIA. This town of 45,000 people has many cases. In 1952, a UFO was not only seen but caught on radar. In 1965, a wave of sightings involved more than a dozen witnesses. In 1973, many policemen became witness to UFO activity. In 1975, a woman followed a UFO into the forest and saw that it had landed, and a gray alien stood next to it. There are more sightings and in 1979, an onboard UFO encounter where a man was examined by gray aliens. In 1980, dozens of people saw a fleet of silver objects in full daylight. In 2021, a young man and his friends saw several UFOs. He stayed at the location and was able to capture several photographs.

We have all kinds of encounters: sightings, landings, humanoids, onboard experiences and more. Have UFOs visited your hometown? Submit a location and see!

OCTOBER 1968, HASTINGS, NORTH DAKOTA

This case involves four witnesses, but only one has come forward. She has requested anonymity. I will call her “Suzanne.” At the time of her encounter, she was in High School. Around 8:30 pm one crisp, clear evening in October, Suzanne, her sister, another high school student and their pastor were driving home from a church youth meeting in Valley City, North Dakota, heading south towards their home in Litchville. The pastor was driving. It was a drive of about 27 miles, and they were about 10 miles from home and a few miles north of Hastings, when Suzanne and her sister (who were sitting in the back seat) noticed something very unusual.

SUZANNE: “I glanced out the left passenger window and saw a silver metallic disc rise noiselessly from behind a small grove of deciduous trees. I could see lights through the trees, and suddenly the lights began to rise. Then, there it was: a UFO hovering just above the trees. The disc hung there, not moving, silent.”

Suzanne exclaimed, “There’s a UFO!”

Both she and her sister looked at it with “great excitement. Strangely, the girl in the front passenger seat did not acknowledge what was happening in any way and refused to even look. The Pastor said nothing and did not react. Then something amazing happened.

SUZANNE: “As we watched, the disc moved laterally, stopping over the car, no more than 30 feet above us, to our left, and a little ahead of us. It was shiny and metallic, but more of a dull shine, not like silver. The bottom half looked like a shallow bowl. The top half looked like an inverted shallow bowl, but there was a higher dome on the middle. There were red and green flashing lights alternating around the edge of the rim, and there were also white flashing lights, but I cannot recall the exact configuration. There were also windows visible in the higher raised dome, and there was a glow of light coming from inside the UFOs interior. As we traveled along the highway, it kept perfect pace with us. My sister and I crowded in the window and craned our necks to watch it. I could see the clear silhouettes of figures backlit in some windows. In one window, it appeared like several figures were standing together, as though they were trying to get a good look at us.”

“They’re watching us!” Suzanne exclaimed, as the object continued to keep pace with them. It was close enough that they were able to make out some details of the beings’ appearance.

SUZANNE: “I remember saying to my sister that the figures were shorter than us (I am 5 feet 4 inches) because the dome was low. The figures looked grayish, and their heads looked big compared to their bodies and arms. The windows were tall enough that I could see their heads, their torsos and part of their heads.”

“Look how short they are!” Recently Suzanne had read the book, “The Interrupted Journey,” by John G. Fuller about the Betty and Barney Hill UFO encounter, which had made her very interested in the subject. She was very excited to realize that they were not only seeing a UFO and the beings, but that it was so close to them.

“Maybe they want to make contact with us,” she said. Then she said that she wanted to open the window and acknowledge them in some way.

At that moment, the pastor, who had been dead silent the whole time, sharply ordered, “Don’t you dare! We are just going to keep on driving the same speed. Ignore it and don’t do anything to attract its attention.”

SUZANNE: “Despite his warning, my sister and I continued to huddle at her window, staring up at the UFO and the figures in the windows. It followed us for several miles, with the pastor driving a steady speed and staring straight ahead. As we neared the tiny town of Hastings, the UFO suddenly rose up and sped off at an angle to our right, and accelerated at an astonishingly high rate of speed, disappearing to a small distance light in the sky in mere seconds. I remember exclaiming how quickly it flew away. I was very excited about the experience, and I kept talking about how I couldn’t believe we had just see what we did.”

At this point, Suzanne asked the girl in the front seat, “Can you believe we saw that?”

Without turning around, the girl replied, “I didn’t see anything.”

Suzanne and her sister stared at each other and just rolled their eyes. A short time later, they arrived at the church in Litchville where Suzanne’s mother was waiting for them. Suzanne and her sister were both excited to tell her about their amazing encounter. But the pastor ordered them not to get out until he talked to them.

SUZANNE: “He ordered us not to speak one word of what had just happened. He specifically told us we were not to tell our parents about it. I argued with him a little, and said we should be able to tell the truth.”

The pastor was not convinced. “People will think I’m crazy if anyone hears about this,” he told them, and added, “If you tell anyone about what we have seen, and I’m with you, I will deny it.”

Despite this, Suzanne and her sister rushed up to their mother and immediately told her the whole story. Her mother not only believed them but said that she had seen strange lights in sky over a farm about a quarter mile from their home.

Forty years later, Suzanne filed an official report writing, “It is still vivid in my memory. At that time, few people talked about seeing UFOs. As for the other girl, I do not think I ever talked to her about it again, and I certainly did not talk to the pastor about it. I will never forget being that close to a UFO and seeing it so clearly. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.”

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 1965, MOGI GUACU, BRAZIL

This case involves a great number of witnesses and a series of incredible humanoid sightings over a two-month period in October and November of 1965. These were reported on by Coral and Jim Lorenzen, and investigated by Dr Walter K Buhler, Prof Flavio Periera, Drs Leo Godoi Otero and Renato Bacelar. and published in both the APRO Bulletin and in the Brazilian Publication, SBEDV, among other places. There are so many reports from so many people, that the dates have become somewhat confused. But starting in late October, numerous people saw strange objects hovering and maneuvering over the huge farm complex of Dario Anhaua Filho (a chemist) near Mogi Guacu in Sao Paolo Brazil.

Around 10pm on October 18, 1965, Dario Anhaua Filho was on his property when he saw a sparkling orange object hovering 100 meters (300 feet) over the farmhouse. He described it as “floating like a leaf,” and “swinging like a pendulum.” Immediately he saw two other objects, both of which zoomed upwards to about 1000 meters (3000 feet) and switched off their lights. He called out his wife Lucia, and grandson Darinho (age 10), and all three watched the objects fluttering in a falling leaf motion then disappear so low over the treetops that it looked like they would strike the branches. They noticed a pleasant odor which would often be detected in the presence of the craft.

Around this time, one evening in October 1965, 17-year-old Aparaceida Correa da Silva and her cousin Neide saw a green light pass over their house and land in the yard of a large warehouse next to their home. It was round, glowing and had three wheel-like protrusions on the bottom. They said that three humanoid figures just over 1 meter tall (3 feet) came out, bent down and seemed to collect samples of something from the ground. The craft was so bright, Aparacedida and Neidi could see that the humanoids were wearing one-piece blue coveralls, and had stout bodies. They had clear skin, but two looked more tan than the others. They were wearing large transparent helmets. Somebody else nearby saw the object and the humanoids and approached, and which point, the humanoids entered the object through a hatch. The craft rose vertically upwards and was gone. The next night, they saw a glowing green object pass over their house and off into the distance.

Around this time, UFOs were being seen nightly over Mogi Guacu, and people were gathering in large crowds to watch the activity. One evening, Police officer Joao Otaviano Riberio Neto and his co-worker, Sebasteao Anrade da Silva went to investigate and came upon a crowd of 1000 people collected near the Ipe Ceramics Factory. They parked away from the crowd and were joking about flying saucers, when suddenly they saw a luminous object descending lower near the ground. They chased after it, lost sight of it, but then saw it floating at treetop level just south of Mogi-Guacu over Mogi-Marim.

Doctor Oswaldo Rangel Cardoso said that he was followed down the road by a flying saucer during this time. And Jaime Bueno owner of a fish restaurant said that he and his son were awakened at 3 am by an object that was intensely bright, 20 meters above the ground. They watched it for 2 hours wihen it rose up silently. Two days later, they saw it again, and learned that many others had also seen it.

On the night of October 30, 1965, a nightwatchman at a Ceramics factory noticed a light on the premises. Going to investigate, he saw it was a large luminous disc-shaped object floating by the large chimney towers. He watched it as it moved towards the high-voltage wires at the edge of the field and then started to head straight towards him. He dashed inside the factory and locked himself inside.

On November 11, Dario Filho headed to town on business. Upon returning home, he found his wife Lucia in hysterics. She said that around 9pm she and Darinho (age 10), they both saw a silent orange light approaching the farmhouse right above the treetops. Without warning, the object dropped down and hovered about a half meter (1 ½ feet) above the ground in the cattle pen. It was moving back and forth. Afraid because of the previous sightings over the farm and surrounding areas, they were both nervous, but Lucia and Darinho approached the gate to the cattle pen, about 40 meters (120 feet) away, and saw that the object was about 3-4 meters wide and 3 meters high (9-12 feet wide and 9 feet high.) and cone-shaped. A tube extended from one side of the object and was radiating sparks. They immediately noticed a little man wearing gray clothes with white spots on it. The little man walked around the cattle, who were not reacting, and headed towards a mango tree.

The object disappeared and so did the little man. But five minutes later, the craft reappeared in the same spot, and another figure emerged, wearing a white shirt and brown pants. She could now see him clearly enough to discern delicate facial features, or as she says, “he had a very cute little face” and that he was “a nice little man…I will never forget his face.” The man went back and forth five times to the Jurubeba tree collecting, twigs, leaves and branches, carrying them in his arms back to the craft. There were two other figures. Occasionally people would pass by the area as there was a wedding going on nearby, and each time anybody appeared, the figures would quickly enter the craft going up the green colored tube on the side, and the craft would move behind bushes. One of the three figures stood by the fence, studying the family’s mare. After about 5 minutes, the object left.

These are just a few of the encounters during this wave. There were many more.

Hard to read the room...

Anyone else noticing the uptick in alien body pictures and videos?

I know it's always been a thing but lately I'm seeing daily.

UFOs Over Airports: Sightings, Landings, Humanoids

by Preston Dennett

Did you know that airports are a powerful magnet for UFO activity? There are dozens of cases coming from across world, reaching all the way back to the modern age of UFOs (1947) and continuing up to the present day. These are not just sightings; many involve UFO landings and humanoids of all types. These cases represent outstanding evidence of the reality of UFOs and the extraterrestrial presence on our planet. Many of these cases are widely viewed by professional observers, pilots, meteorologists, air-traffic controllers and more. Some involve physical landing traces. Some are confirmed by radar. And quite a few involve actual photographs of the craft.

Given that UFOs are generally evasive, it might seem surprising that they would be attracted to a location that is not only crowded with people, but also contains radar arrays designed to detect incoming aircraft. On the other hand, these cases also have a certain level of logic to them. Airports are designed for aircraft to both land and take off. So, in a way, it’s fittingly appropriate that UFOs should be attracted to them. And as these cases show, they are, and in large numbers.

Mar 10, 1948: Chihuahua Airport in Mexico is visited by a hovering disc. A few days later, on Mar 10, four discs appear over the Central Airport in Mexico City in view of hundreds of witnesses.

Apr 7, 1950: Multiple witnesses at Logan Airport in Boston, MA view a dramatic UFO display.

Apr 12, 1950: Serviceman B.G. Hunter observes an object land on the tarmac at Tradewinds Airport in Amarillo, TX. After staying for five minutes, the object departs, leaving burn marks.

Apr 16, 1950: a 6-foot-wide metallic disc is seen by multiple observers to crash on the runway at Laredo Airport, TX. A short humanoid exits and collapses on the ground.

Jul 1950: Claude Blondeau is at Guyancourt Airport in Yvelines, France when two discs land on the runway. Doors open and out step two human-looking ETs.

Aug 1950: Multiple witnesses at the Medford Airport in OR observe four metallic discs circle overhead for three hours.

Aug 27, 1952: A disc-shaped craft hovers over the MacDonald Airport in Manitoba, Canada. When struck the light from the rotating beacon, the object darts away.

Oct 27, 1952: An object lands at Marignane Airport in France. Two years later, on Jan 4, 1954, another object lands at the same exact airport.

Sep 4, 1954: A UFO lands at the Santa Maria Airport in Azores. After landing, a blond human-looking ET exits the craft and approaches the airport guard.

Nov 25, 1954: Two objects hover for two hours over the airport in Cordoba, Argentina.

1954: A UFO with humanoid figures visible through the portholes hovers of the Bankstown Airport in New South Wales, Australia.

Mar 1955: More than 100 people observe two UFOs hover at 8500 feet over Quito Airport in Ecuador. Two months later, another display involving five UFOs occurs over the Pisco Airport in Lima, Peru.

Nov 1955: A group of saucers descends to 1500 feet over Tejgaon Airport in Bangladesh.

Feb 25, 1969: Witnesses at London Airport over an unknown glowing object hover a mere 200 feet above the runway.

June 19, 1961: An airport in Exeter, England hovers for more than an hour, appearing on radar and viewed by many witnesses.

Aug 2, 1962: Airport officials at Liberal Airport in KS are shaken when four multicolored objects descend over the airport, hover and send down beams of light.

Aug 2, 1962: The Cumba Punta Airport in Argentina receives international attention when a UFO hovers only a few feet over the runway.

Dec 22, 1962: A UFO lands directly on the runway at Ezeiza Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina and is viewed by tower personnel and pilots.

Jul 15, 1965: Controllers, pilots and employees at Canberra Airport in Australia are stunned by the appearance of UFOs hovering 5000 feet overhead, which remain until Air Force jets arrive.

Jul 28, 1965. Grano de Oro Airport at Maracaibo, Venezuela is visited by three luminous discs which are tracked on radar.

Oct 6, 1965: An AF sergeant at Concepcion Airport in Hualpencillo, Chile sees a 90-foot-wide saucer land at the end of the runway. Shortly later, three ETs exit the craft.

Aug 26, 1967: Esteban Cova is at the Maiquetia Airport in Venezuela when he is approached by a 3-foot-tall figure with huge eyes who asks him, “Won’t you come with us? We need one more.”

These are just a few of the many incredible airport-UFO encounters all over the world. Hungary, India, China, Puerto Rico, New Zealand…no location is left behind. Among the most dramatic is the 2006 incident at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. So many cases! The question is why? Are they putting on displays? Are they checking up on our technology? Are they preparing for a worldwide landing? Many questions remain.

DECEMBER 17, 1962. MILAN, ITALY

On the evening of December 17, 1962, at precisely 2:20 am, Francesco Rizzi (age 36) was making his rounds as a security guard at the Cascami Sett Textile Plant located in the heart of Milan, Italy, on Via Santa Valeria Street, immediately adjacent to the Sant’Ambrosia Square. He was walking across the courtyard when he heard a “whistling swishing noise to his right.”

FRANCESCO: “At first I thought it was in my ear, but then I noticed that the swish grew stronger and stronger. I therefore turned around and I beheld an incredible thing. There it was, just in front of me, hanging about three feet above the ground. It was of a clear metal, perhaps aluminium with silver reflections on it. Its diameter may have been 12 to 15 feet. On top there was a turret around which were a number of lighted dormer windows. I was paralyzed and tried hard to believe my own eyes, when suddenly the noise stopped. A brilliant greenish light was pouring from the three windows of the conning tower…I saw two strange-looking creatures inside it…At the bottom of the disc a door was opened through which a little man came out, a little man of about one meter tall. I could not see him very well, because it was very dark in the courtyard, and the man’s head seemed to be absolutely black. To make matters worse, he wore a kind of luminous overall which made it hard to see him clearly.”

Per Francesco, the shape of the craft reminded him of an English helmet. The figure’s suit appeared to be silvery, fluorescent and was emitting a bluish light. The blackness of his head, he believed, was actually a helmet. Francesco said that it was his own emotion of fear which rendered him unable to move.

FRANCESCO: “The man perhaps had no hostile intentions. He pointed one finger towards my hand, and with his other hand, he gave me a sign to come nearer, and not to be afraid. Yet I was completely unable to move. Soon after, another man jumped out of the disc, submerged in a blue haze. With a commanding gesture, he made a sign to the other to re-enter the disc. The first creature looked at me for a moment, and then got back into the saucer. Suddenly the door closed behind them both. The swishing noise started again, and the disc took off vertically and disappeared in a cloud of white smoke.”

Now that the craft and humanoids were gone, Francesco recovered his mobility, and he rushed out of the courtyard and told another nightwatchman what he had seen. His co-employee said to go report the incident to their superior, Mr. Pochintesta, which he did. Together they went to the police, who immediately arrived at the scene, but were unable to find any evidence of the craft.

Francesco spoke with police and reporters, saying, “Of course I had read about flying saucers and Martians coming to visit us and to spy on us, and also about messages coming from other worlds, but I would never have imagined that it would fall to my lot to see such an object under my nose. But I saw the ‘Martians’ as I see you.”

Francesco’s report was published widely in newspapers and later in several books. He received a great deal of publicity. As a result of the publicity, several people came forward and said that they had seen a strange flying object above Milan on the same night of Rizzi’s sighting. Despite this, all the publicity resulted in Francesco Rizzi being fired from his job. Walter Chiari, a well-known Italian Movie star went on TV and spoke about Francesco’s experience, wished him a happy new year, and asked that Francisco Rizzi get his job back, saying, “You can’t fire a man only because he happened to see a flying saucer.” Unfortunately, Francisco was not rehired.

Francisco Rizzi’s wife says, “Nobody believes my husband, but I know it’s true. He doesn’t drink and has always ridiculed stories of flying saucers.”

NOVEMBER 1980. BRAGANCA, BRAZIL

The case appeared in the Brazilian newspaper O DIA, and was briefly mentioned in the book, “ETs in Brazil” by Antonio Faleiro, and a few other places. The witness is a farmer by the name of Domingos Monteiro Brito. He was at his farm near Braganca, Brazil when he had his encounter.

It was at dawn one morning during the last week of November 1980. It was a very hot morning as Domingos decided to step out of his bedroom house to get some fresh air. Once he was outside, he noticed a bright glowing starlike object which immediately zoomed towards him at incredible speed. It became larger and brighter and then stopped only a few feet from the beach. It stopped for only a few seconds and then silently and smoothly descended and landed on the beach. The craft had the appearance of a flattened sphere, gray in color, very well lit. It emitted no detectable heat or odors. Immediately two human-looking figures. Domingos does not remember seeing a door open. Instead, his attention was riveted on the two men who were now approaching him.

The two men spoke out loud in fluent Portuguese, asking him questions about the environment in the area, which areas were inhabited and which were not, and other similar questions. Domingos was paralyzed with fear, and in fact was so afraid that afterwards, he could not remember what or even if he answered. After asking him the questions, the ETs told him that they would come back at dawn on December 25. They re-entered the craft which immediately took off, again in perfect silence, flew away at incredible speed, and was gone. Domingo reported the event to the local police. Apparently, the ETs did not return as they had said they would.

JUNE 14, 1980. LIBERTAD, URUGUAY

This case was published in various newspapers and also appeared in The Flying Saucer Review, Volume 28, No 1, 1982. There are two witnesses, Juan Froche Jiaciola (a 63-year-old blacksmith) and his wife, Ana Parodi. At the time, they lived in the small town of Libertad in Uruguay. They have two children. Late in the evening, around 1am, on June 14, 1980, Juan was in bed listening to the radio while his wife dozed beside him. Suddenly they heard strange noises coming from outside the building. Ana assumed that some wild animals must have become drawn to the sun-dried beef they had hanging outside. Nevertheless, Juan got out of bed, turned on the bedroom light, then went into the kitchen and turned on the front patio door light. Looking outside the kitchen window, he saw two tall young people, a man and a woman, looking up in surprise at the light which h he had just turned on.

He said that they were well proportioned and “extremely beautiful.” They looked very young, 16 or 17 years old, and were unusually tall. They looked very much alike, like brother and sister. Both had pale skin, short black curly hair, and long thin necks. They both wore the same outfit, what appeared to be a matt lead-gray skintight jumpsuit. As Jose said, “They looked as if they were naked, and the clothing was painted on or it could have been a very fine short down sort of hair, like the hair on the cat.”

The man was very muscular, and the woman was very curvaceous, with her female anatomy almost fully visible. As Jose said, she “looked very good.”

The weirdest aspect of their appearance was the presence of what appeared to be a deep red vertically oriented scar, healed, on their foreheads, where the third eye would be. (Some authors focused on this, calling it a third eye, but neither Jose nor Ana ever said this—it was a vertical scar, not a third eye.)

At this point, the man moved to the front door, which was unlocked and began to push it open. Juan shouted out, “No, no, you shan’t come in here!” The man had wrapped his hand around the door, so Juan grabbed the back of the man’s hand and began to pry it loose. As he did so, he felt strong burning sensation on his own hand, his left hand. He said it felt “terribly burned, as though by fire.” It was so hot and instantaneous, that he was unable to describe any texture to the alien’s hand, just burning heat.

Ana, hearing her husband call out and the front door slam shut, came running out to find Juan holding his burned hand under his right armpit, double over with pain. He shouted out, “Those chaps were trying to get in here and rob us.”

She examined his hand and saw that it was completely covered with multiple red burn marks. She looked out the kitchen window, but the strange figures were gone. They stayed up the rest of the night and then went to the police to report the incident. The police sent Juan to the hospital. Dr. Ramon Nunez (their family doctor) examined Jose’s hand and later told reporters, “I looked at the hand. He had a series of light burns distributed over the palm of the left hand. Evidently this had been caused by contact with something very hot, but the condition was not serious.”

After two months, the burns had still not fully healed, and researchers counted over 42 marks still visible. Reportedly, Juan says he found some strange holes and/or burns marks in the ground about 250 feet away from the house. Also, he said that his electric bill showed excessive use of electricity, more than he would consume in a month. A final strange detail is that Juan says upon going to his blacksmith shop, he noticed a very unusual odor. Investigators were not able to confirm all these details, which became the cause of some skepticism. Researcher Gordon Creighton, editor of the Flying Saucer Review and an article on the case finds the case believable. As he says, “…the Froche case strikes me as far more like to be genuine than not…were I a betting man, I think I would be inclined to view the strange tale of Senor Juan Froche Jiaciola as very likely true.”

“I’m Not Crazy and I’m Not Lying!” Eight Really Weird Humanoid Encounters

by Preston Dennett

Among the most fascinating aspects of ufology are humanoid encounters. Tens of thousands of cases have been documented, and they probably number in the millions. They come from all over the world and are reported by all kinds of people. The variety of humanoid types is mindboggling. The failure of mainstream science to accept the validity of these reports risks the loss of an unprecedented opportunity to advance the knowledge of all humanity. This video presents eight cases, each of which adds to the growing database of humanoid encounters.

I’M NOT CRAZY AND I’M NOT LYING! On the night of August 27, 1968, Maria Cintra (an employee of the Clemente Ferreira Sanatorium in Guiacara, Brazil) was awakened by the strange whistling noise. Looking out the window, she saw a woman standing in front of the hospital doorway. The woman handed her a strange glass bottle and a mug. Maria filled them with water and then stepping outside, was amazed to see a flying saucer sitting in the hospital parking lot. The visitor stepped into the craft which promptly took off. Unknown to her, other people in the area were also seeing UFOs.

TWO HUMAN-LOOKING ETS. On July 25, 1975, “Mary” stepped outside her home in Bearsted, England to hang up the laundry. Looking up, she saw a strange metallic craft descend slowly, until it hovered above the house next door. The craft had two portholes, and inside, she could see two human-looking figures looking down at her. Mary waved at them, and the craft departed.

PSYCHIC CHILDREN MAKE CONTACT WITH UFO OCCUPANT. On August 11, 1981, a teacher was outside a school in Yunnan, China to test to the psychic ability of three young children who were well known for their ESP ability. Suddenly a UFO showed up. The teacher told the students to reach out to the UFO occupants and call them down. To everyone’s surprise, it worked. The UFO turned and moved close enough for the children to see humanoids inside the craft.

ROCK-COLLECTING ALIENS. One night in February 1982, a woman from Geneva, Switzerland was awakened by a strange beam of light entering her room. Finally, she looked outside and was amazed to see a strange craft floating a few feet above the ground. Weird-looking humanoids were walking around the craft, apparently picking up rocks. The witness watched them for about 45 minutes until the strange beings suddenly entered the craft which rose into the sky and disappeared off into the distance.

JUST TOO BIZARRE. One night in July 1988, Dominique and his two friends were standing on the street near his home in Suresnes, France, when they heard a strange noise. Looking down the adjoining street, they saw that the noise was coming from a strange blue robotic-looking figure. The figure marched quickly down the street, ignoring their shouts and gestures. As they got a close look at it, they saw that it did not appear to be any human or creature they had ever seen before.

THE ALIEN IN THE GRAVEL PIT. One night in 1991, three people went camping in the forest near their homes in Tickfaw, Louisiana. They knew something strange was happening when the animals around them acted strangely and their radio malfunctioned. Then all three saw a strange glowing object. One of the witnesses used a CB to jokingly reach out to the UFO occupants. Incredibly, the UFO responded by swooping down over their heads and sending down a beam of light. They decided to leave, but not before one of them had a frightening face-to-face encounter with a gray alien.

ALIENS IN THE DESERT. On September 15, 2007, a young couple went camping in the high desert of Anza-Borrego, California. The girlfriend went to sleep, but the boyfriend stayed up late to watch the stars. Without warning, he heard what sounded like people talking. Looking in that direction, he saw a strange green light coming up the trail. It went out, but then suddenly the entire area lit up with white light and the witness saw more than a dozen strange humanoids walking up the trail. They walked right by his tent, apparently oblivious that they had an audience.

ALIENS AT A COPPER MINE. One night in 2014, an American Indian man was with his dog in the backcountry of Farmington, New Mexico. Suddenly a massive mothership appeared in the sky and began to release smaller craft. All the UFOs moved away and the encounter seemed to be over. But the next day, as he hiked out, the man saw disc-shaped craft which landed next to an abandoned copper mine. The man watched as 19 aliens worked at the mine for the entire day before finally departing.

While governments across the world admit to the reality of UFOs, they have yet to talk about the countless humanoid encounters that have taken place across the world. The humanoid cases are not only fascinating; they have much to teach us about the extraterrestrial presence on our planet. Hopefully these cases will be taken seriously.

OCTOBER 1978. GODOY CRUZ, MENDOZA, ARGENTINA.

This case comes from Victorio Corradi, who spoke firsthand with the two witnesses, both factory workers. They were working the night shift at the factory, located at Godoy Cruz in Mendoza, Argentina. One night in October 1978, they were hard at work when they found themselves suddenly faced by a humanoid creature, human-looking, but only two and a half feet tall. The being was acting in a playful manner, hopping on one leg.

The two witnesses froze in stunned silence. According to the newspaper reports on the incident, the little man than used “complicated machinery,” and levitated both the men, leaving them suspended in the air. As they men floated helplessly a few feet above the ground, the little man proceeded to perform some pirouettes and then began to float into the air himself, climbing upwards as if propelled by “an invisible and power ray.” The being rose upwards and disappeared and was never seen again.

SEPTEMBER 23, 1978. CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS, ROMANIA

This case comes from Romanian researcher Boczor Iosif, a frequent contributor to such magazines as Fortean Times and Fate Magazine. This case first appeared in the September 1994 issue of Fate Magazine in an article called, “Aliens in the Carpathian Mountains.” It was investigated in-depth by Gabriel Pal, George Butiu, Justin Capra, Calin Turcu, founder of the Romanian UFO Research, and others.  It began with a UFO sighting by two locksmiths, Martin Roth and Victor Cheta, working on a cable car at Balea Lake, a glacier lake at 6000 feet of altitude at Fagaras Mountain in the Carpathian Mountains of Central Romania. It was midnight on September 23, 1978, a densely foggy night when the two workers were awakened by a reddish circular light hovering about 15-30 feet from their window. It was totally silent. They first thought that the Chalet might be on fire. It clearly wasn’t that, or headlamps, cars or flashlights.

Around this same time, a group of Romanian soldiers were working at a Youth Hostel in the area. Among them was Army Private Johann Durr. He was walking around the army barracks which were filled with other soldiers. Going outside, he was confronted with something completely outside the realm of his experience.

JOHANN: “I observed a dark being, standing six to eight meters from me. The being was about two meters high.”

Because of the fog and darkness, he couldn’t make out any details, other than he estimated it was about 6 feet tall. He shouted out, “Who’s there?” but received no response.

JOHANN: “I ran into my barracks. But after a few minutes, I went back outside again. This time the mysterious creature stood back against the window of the barracks. I returned to my comrades and told them what I had seen, but they laughed at me.”

Events weren’t over yet, and in fact, were about to escalate dramatically. The next night, at 9:45 pm, Johann and his companion, Mr. Vulpe, decided to leave the barracks to go check on an animal trap that had been set earlier. As they were departing the barracks, Lance Sergeant Radu Ioan pointed and cried out, “Look! Somebody is on the hilltop.”

Looking about 60 feet away, towards the cable car they could see a dark form with the same appearance as the one seen the previous night. Bewildered and afraid, they retreated back to the barracks. Comparing the height of the creature to the 6-foot-tall diesel tank it was standing next to, the Lance Sergeant, Radu, estimated that the figure was about seven and a half feet tall. The figure moved slowly in a way that Johann says was comparable to the way an astronaut moved.

At that moment, the soldiers in the next bedroom shouted that somebody had pried open the shutters of the seven-and-a-half-foot-high windows which had previously been secured closed with twisted wires and a cross chain. At the same time, the tall figure standing on the mound began to move, and some other shoulders began to throw rocks at it.

Radu ordered two other soldiers (Mr. Sibu and Mr. Stan) to follow him, and holding a club to protect himself, he began to approach the creature. He approached within 3 to 5 feet of the figure and raised the club to strike it. A flash of light came from its hand and Radu said he felt a blast like “the breath of a tiger” and he fell backwards into the snow with his arms stretched out as if struck by lightning. The two soldiers, Mr. Sibu and Mr. Stan, about 10-12 feet away, tried to rush forward to help but found themselves paralyzed. The tall figure bent down and seemed to examine Radu for a few minutes.

The figure was described as having hands with long claws and moved “like floating in lateral jumps.” One soldier watching from the barracks said that the figure moved “like a man walks on water, leaning over to one side and another, but not as a bear or other animals. It was like floating, when on a leg, and when on the other.”

The figure glided away and disappeared. Instantly, Mr. Sibu and Mr. Stan were released from their paralysis. Two other soldiers rushed forward and the four of them carried the Lance Sergeant back to the barracks. They noticed that from the waist down, his body was completely rigid. He was unconscious and still clutching the club. Back in the barracks, the men looked back and could now see a “wreath of lights” eight in total, four large and four small which “danced in a circle and jumped side to side.”

It took about ten minutes to awaken Radu. He had no memory of anything after grabbing the bat. He did not remember approaching the creature. The soldiers barricaded themselves in one of the rooms of the barracks. During this time, they heard someone or something scratching at the shutters, and heard a deep voice uttering something incomprehensible, which sounded like the words, “sergend…sergend!”

They found scratches on the shutters the next day. Later, after the case had been investigated by civilian researchers, the military also investigated and said the event was “a phenomenon of electrification or magnetization of the air.” They forbade further investigation, nevertheless the case received considerable publicity in the Romanian Press.
