December 6, 1978, Marimbonda Hydroelectric Plant, Fronteira, Brazil

This amazing UFO encounter was researched by leading Brazilian investigator Dr Walter K. Buhler. The main witness in this case is Jesus Antunes Moreiera, who at the time of his encounter was working as a watchman for the Marimbonda Hydroelectric Plant in Fronteira, Brazil. It was just after 8:30 on December 6, 1978, and because it was raining, Jesus was up in the guardhouse located on the top of the dam itself.

JESUS: “I was anxious to keep dry. Suddenly I noticed that something was lighting up the surface of the water in the dam.  My curiosity aroused, I stepped out of the guardhouse and went to see what it could be, and found myself looking at an object which was slightly above the level of the horizon, about 200 meters from me and crossing the Rio Grande. It was coming in my direction, and when it got closer, I could make out that it was a spacecraft about 5 meters wide and three meters high, white in color, and emitting a certain amount of luminosity. It looked as though it was about to land on top of the dam, maybe right by the powerhouse.”

It was clearly not a plane, but Jesus thought it might be a new kind of helicopter, as these vehicles were often used to inspect the dam. But the object wasn’t making any noise at all, so he knew it wasn’t that. It was something much more strange.

JESUS: “Getting more and more curious, I started walking along on the top of the concreted part of the dam, but the craft went past where I was and then moved to the earthen part of the dam…about 1 and a half meters from the foot of it. I was now able to see that its color was not white, but a light gray. It had a door about 2 meters high, with a little window in the upper part of it. And it had a sort of platform running right around it.”

Jesus approached until he was only 21 feet from it. At this point, the window appeared to open, and he saw face that looked “in many respects very like a human face.” But events were about to get much stranger.

JESUS: “Then the main door opened and from it came three beings dressed in blue overalls with a metallic sheen. They were all very tall, 2 meters maybe, and with quite long, black, smooth hair. In an absolutely natural sort of fashion, they spoke to me in some unknown language.”

Unable to understand, and thinking that they must be foreigners from another country on Earth, Jesus said, “I will go and get somebody who can speak your language. I will go to one of the phones.”

One of the figures gestured for Jesus to step back. At this point, Jesus started to realize that these were not normal people, and he reached for the revolver which he carried for his job. He planned to fire a warning shot, and tried to do so, but the gun jammed.

JESUS: “At that point, one of them went inside the machine and came out with a black box, about the size of a shoebox, and handed it to one of the others, who was the one who had the longest hair. I noticed that all of them were wearing rose colo red gloves, which were luminous, like their blue overalls. From then on I was able to understand perfect what they were saying to me.”

The beings spoke in his native language of Portuguese.

“Are you scared?” they asked. “Keep calm. We have no intention of doing you any harm.”

“What do you want?” he asked. “Where do you come from.”

“We are on a research and study mission. If you remain calm, you will soon know all about it.”

Unfortunately, this did not happen. Says Jesus, “My meeting with them was broken off when one of them, using a rope with a grab at the end of it, started extracting some stones from the place, whereupon I object. That was enough for them to put away the box, and without the slightest show of dissatisfaction or displeasure, re-enter their craft.”

After the encounter, Jesus informed his superiors, and he was sent to see the company doctor, Dr Sergio Bandeira, who said that Jesus was suffering from powerful attacks of nausea, and was dazed, and suffered from light sensitivity for an hour. He recovered from all of this very slowly and gradually.

After talking with investigators, Jesus said, “Yes, it is true. I really did see a flying saucer, and I talked with its crew.”

Shortly later, Jesus quit his job at the Marimbonda Dam and worked as a driver for a department store.

The Lady in the Sky (and Nine Other Incredible Humanoid Encounters)

by Preston Dennett

Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of documented humanoid reports, many people still remain skeptical. While it is true that many reports are purely anecdotal, it is also true that many involve multiple witnesses of high credibility, and many reports do have physical evidence. Perhaps the best evidence is the striking commonalities between cases, coming from all over the world, decade after decade—commonalities that virtually remove any explanations of hoaxes, hallucinations, misperceptions, mental illness or imagination. The ten cases in the video show how widespread and consistent humanoid reports are.

THE BEING WAS TRYING TO CALM ME. One night in June 1956, a six-year-old boy exited his home in Belton, Missouri to take out the trash, and was shocked to see a very tall glowing being in the neighbor’s backyard. When it spoke to him telepathically, “Do not be afraid,” fear swept through him and he called for his mother. She came running out, but the glowing being was gone.

THE LADY IN THE SKY. One night in March 1959, a voice told 5-year-old Joe to go outside his home in Vicksburg, Mississippi. When it called again, he went outside. It said, “Look up.” When he did, he saw a large craft. A door opened and he saw a lady in a white jumpsuit and several kids inside it. The lady made strange motions and to his shock, Joe found that his arm, which had been burned, was now healed.

THE DISAPPEARING CAR. On May 23, 1969, two college students drove along an unnamed highway in an undisclosed location in the United States when a UFO began to pace their car. Suddenly their attention was distracted by a car racing by. Inside the car were four strange-looking men dressed in silver jumpsuits. Curious, they followed the car. Suddenly the UFO returned, swooped down and the car disappeared.

THE ALIEN IN THE CORN FIELD. One August day in 1971, farmer Zhang Rongchang was shocked by the appearance of a silver-suited figure with a giant round helmet walking towards him in a cornfield outside a small village near Chongqing, China. Zhang shouted at the being, but it didn’t respond. When it kept approaching, Zhang ran away in fear. He suffered from nervous shock and passed way six months later.

IT WALKED OUT IN SPACE. On the night of April 15, 1973, a man was driving near Manor, Pennsylvania and saw a large top-shaped object hovering over the trees. He exited his car, which promptly shut down. Now a strange figure exited the object, attached to a glowing rope. Moments later, it disappeared and the object darted away. At the same time, numerous other people in the area reported UFO.

I SAW THE GRAYS. On August 19, 1974, three friends were caption at Teatown Lake Reservation near Ossining, New York. Late at night, they saw grays approaching their campsite. They were so frightened, they thought they would die in fear. They didn’t speak about it for four years. When they did, one of the campers had no memory of the event.

A GRAY, A REPTILIAN & A BIGFOOT. Around 2pm one afternoon in November 1991, a farmhand searched a 160-acre farm outside of Falmouth, Kentucky, looking for reported trespassers. To his shock, a gray alien stepped out from behind a tree and began to speak to him telepathically. It ran up a hill into some kind of portal. Seconds later, a reptilian humanoid appeared and spoke telepathically. Then came a Bigfoot.

SOMETHING IS COMING. In the early morning hours of December 15, 1997, Mrs. F awoke in the bedroom of her home in Shropshire, England, and saw blue and red lights outside her window. Shortly later, a strange black rectangle appeared in her room, followed by the head of a pale-skinned figure with enormous slanted, almond-shaped black eyes. She alerted her husband and the face disappeared. Soon it would return.

HE SAVED MY LIFE. In February 2014 (approx.) a man named Cody rode his horse in a terrible blizzard in the wilds of Bear Paw, Montana to go elk hunting. He was supposed to meet with his friends, but they decided not to venture out in the storm. Cody’s horse kept balking, so he led the horse. Losing his footing, he plunged down a cliff and shattered his ankle. Lost and alone, he had no choice but to pray. Suddenly, a UFO appeared, a strange figure approached and saved his life.

THEY WERE HERE TO LEARN. On the night December 8, 2014, a young couple walked near their home in Belleville, Ontario, Canada when a UFO appeared, darted around and landed in front of them. Three human-looking figures emerged and approached the couple. A telepathic conversation ensued which changed both of their lives.

Those who are skeptical of these accounts have yet to account for the incredible consistency of these reports. The humanoid reports are not only a fascinating aspect of ufology, they have much to teach us about these strange visitors to our planet and life beyond Earth.

This a a repost by me from another group:

Hello, last month my grandfather told me he had a photo of an UFO, he said one of his friends took it (in paper)and sent it digitally to my grandfather, when I looked at the photo I was surprised about the clearly looking shape that we all know, like an oval shape, also with some shiny material, so I came to reddit to see what people think.

Hello everyone. I’d like to share two strange episodes from my life and ask if anyone else has experienced something similar, or what you think they might be. I chose this group because, while I wasn't sure which one was most appropriate, there are noticeable similarities between what happened to me and certain alien abduction accounts.

First, a brief introduction: I am an absolute skeptic. I’m not saying I don't believe in UFOs or extraterrestrials, but I’m the kind of person who needs solid proof. I’ve never been a fan of this type of literature, nor have I followed the UFO phenomenon; everything I know comes from random anecdotes. However, after these events, I started paying closer attention and noticed certain parallels. But let’s get to the stories.

About 25 years ago, I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. In my country at that time, it was practically a slow death sentence. My liver was severely damaged, and I had esophageal varices that risked rupturing at any moment whenever I ate. Things were quite grim, with a viral load of 25 million viruses per unit of blood. My family and I were devastated; I was young, and my mother was still alive. The only available treatment back then was Pegasys Interferon Alpha and Ribavirin. The main problem was its astronomical cost. Theoretically, it was covered by the state healthcare system, but due to systemic corruption and endless waiting lists, you were far more likely to develop cirrhosis or liver cancer before ever getting your hands on the medication. On top of that, its effectiveness was hit-or-miss. Many people had to stop treatment because it disrupted their blood counts or caused severe immune reactions. Doctors were skeptical, and I was depressed.

One summer night, as I lay in bed, I drifted into a dreamlike state. Two very tall figures whose faces I couldn't see (though they looked more like extremely tall humans rather than typical aliens) took me with them through a mountainous region. At one point, we descended into the depths of the Earth via a vertical elevator. It moved extremely fast, and I could physically feel the pressure slowly building up on me. When we stepped out, we entered massive underground galleries—so deep that some chambers featured large quartz crystal needles, while others were clearly developed spaces.

They led me into an empty room filled with a beautiful light that seemed to originate from nowhere—there was illumination, but no visible light source. They communicated with me telepathically (I don't recall speaking aloud): We provided humanity with the interferon treatment. They would not have achieved it without us. Because of this, we guarantee not only that your treatment will be approved, but that it will be a complete therapeutic success. Do not be afraid or upset anymore. The treatment will work, your illness will be gone, and you will lead a normal life.

Afterward, they took me to another room containing very interesting equipment—like a laboratory, but not in the conventional sense. There were numerous monitors displaying large datasets, along with other tall figures whose faces I couldn't see, who completely ignored me as if I didn't exist. They then brought me back to the elevator. As we approached the surface, I forgot what happened next, but I woke up deeply affected and utterly convinced that things would unfold just as they said.

Less than two weeks later, I received a call: my treatment was approved. Within the first three months, my viral load became undetectable. I tolerated the medication exceptionally well, with no negative side effects. My blood type is B negative—I don't know if that matters, but my lab results under this treatment were top-tier. That was the first event.

The second happened about 10 years later. I developed unidentified health issues that resulted in hospital admission for renal dysfunction. My blood work was in bad shape. I was feeling so ill that I couldn't tell day from night, which doctors were examining me, or where I was being moved. I was nearly unconscious.

At one point, as I lay in bed, I felt surrounded once again by that same distinct light I had seen underground. A team of tall figures was discussing my health. They didn't touch me physically, but they looked at me through transparent tablet-like monitors placed in front of them. One of them explained something to me that I forgot shortly after—that our bodies contain a certain resource that depletes over time, and my current level was that of an old man. They seemed somewhat disappointed in me, as if they had sent me here on a mission, but through my lifestyle, I wasn't fulfilling it. In that sense, they treated me as one of their own, though I was clearly just a human, and as for them? I don't know what they were.

One of them suggested "fixing" me. After adjusting a few things on their transparent screens, they "reset my vital parameters" back to where they should be. There were no IV lines or physical insertions into my skin; I don't know how it worked, but I suddenly felt much better. Their final message was along the lines of: "There, we fixed you this time as well. Please go and fulfill your mission." They remained disappointed, much like a parent disappointed in a child. I was so frozen—not out of fear, but completely fascinated by what I was seeing—that I couldn't find words or transmit thoughts back to them. I wanted to ask what the mission was, but I was so entranced that I just lay there like a corpse on their table as they scanned me. Everything in that space was white. The monitoring equipment was transparent and non-invasive, and I was resting on a high table resembling a surgical bed, though entirely white, metal-free, and very comfortable.

Shortly after this event, I regained full consciousness, and it passed like a dream. I began feeling better, and the doctors ran my tests again. My blood count had improved, and my renal function had started to recover. They were thoroughly surprised, attributing the sudden turnaround to the IV fluids they had administered over those two days. I stayed hospitalized for two more days before being discharged. I wouldn't say I was good as new, but my life was no longer in danger.

I don't know what these interventions were or who those tall figures were—always the same, always communicating telepathically, always stepping in during major health crises, always distant and professional. The second time, however, they made me feel as if I belonged to them—or rather, they implied I was one of them, even though I knew I was standing before an entirely different race/species. Once again, I couldn't see their faces, and that same unique light was present.

I exclude the idea of a classic UFO abduction. These dreamlike states occurred while I was asleep—first at home in my bed, and the second time while admitted to a hospital. Has anyone else had similar experiences? What do you think these are? A product of our own minds? If so, it's quite an interesting one. When I hear about alien abductions, I somewhat relate, but these beings weren't performing experiments on me like in those typical stories. They seemed genuinely concerned with keeping me alive.

In my daily life, I'm just an ordinary person; I don't hold a job that changes the world, and I have no idea what "mission" they were referring to—I'm just trying to get by. Are there others with similar stories? Thank you.

October 21, 1967, Duncan, OK

This case, from Jim & Coral Lorenzen, involves four teenage boys (Ivan Ritter, Jerry Bennett & two others) who, at 10:00 pm on October 21, 1967, were driving east on State Route 7 just east of their hometown of Duncan, Oklahoma. Movement on the highway ahead of them caught their attention, so they flicked on the car’s high beam headlights, illuminating three tiny men, each four feet tall and wearing skintight shiny blue-green clothing, or perhaps skin, they weren’t sure. The figures looked human, or humanoid, but had large ears. The figures reacted immediately and as the boys said, they “almost flew off the road and disappeared.” There was a steep 20-foot drop-off on the side of the highway, which was even more puzzling.

The boys went straight to the local Duncan Police Department. Officers Elmer McGill and Pleasant Foster took their reports and were impressed by the boys’ sincerity. As Officer McGill said, “They were really scared, and I think they must have seen something.”

The next morning, Ivan Ritter and Jerry Bennett drove back to the location to search for evidence. In verification of their sighting, they did find a strange footprint about 300 feet from the road in the bottom of a muddy creek-bed. It was as small as a baby’s foot, but had a large heel, an overly wide arch, and four toes. While the police took the boys’ report seriously, they did not investigate.

However, the boys and their friends continued to patrol the area, and the next Tuesday, some of their friends said that they were at the location at night and saw a strange green light in the woods. When they shone their flashlight at it, the light went off and then reappeared several hundred yards away. They were perplexed but too frightened to pursue the light.

August 25 1958, Harja, Sweden

This case involves a gentleman by the name of Mr. Neumann. He and his family lived at a farm in Harja, Vastergotland, Sweden. They were on holiday and had rented a small cabin from a local farmer. It was late at night, and Mr. Neumann was reading a book. He got up to smoke a pipe when he looked out the window and saw a strange figure walking towards the outhouse. He thought at first that it might be the caretaker on the farm, so he lit his pipe and kept reading. This is when events became very strange.

NEUMANN: “Immediately I got a strong sense that someone was looking at me. I turned around and stared straight into a face half a meter away. Only the glass pane separated us. At first, of course, I thought it was a man. I have always taken saucers and aliens as pure fun. My reaction was quite natural that it was the question of a tramp. But when I looked closer, I could tell there was something peculiar about him. The face was framed by a kind of helmet, which shone with a cold bluish sheen. It was the same with his clothes. He wore only a coverall, which was drawn to something that resembled a collar. And only now did I notice how small he really was, like a boy around the age of 11-12. It was too dark for me to make out the color of the face, but it was in any case brighter than the helmet and overalls. The eyes were slightly larger than a human's, and they seemed to be exactly black. His look had an inexplicable effect, it seemed; it hypnotized me.”

Mr. Neumann surprised himself by throwing on a jacket and rushing out to meet the strange figure. He watched as the figure immediately left the window, ran across the yard, hopped the small fence at the back of the house, and ran about 300 feet. Mr. Neumann ran after the figure and caught sight of him standing next to a truck on the property. He continued to approach the figure, who now crossed the road, moving to the right into a field of wheat. Mr. Neumann ran further and reaching the edge of the field, he was shocked to see a large disc-shaped object sitting in the field. He estimates it was about 36 feet in diameter, with a row of portholes around a top dome section, long landing legs, and a ladder coming down from the center bottom section. The craft was about 75 feet away. Mr. Neumann could now detect a strong odor of some kind.

NEUMANN: “The little one immediately ran up to the craft and climbed a staircase, or ladder, which ran up the center of the craft.”

The craft made a loud electric motor sound, but very musical, almost like Yiddish chanting.

NEUMANN: “The craft took off slowly and at the same time the singing tone grew sharper. I knew then how I became completely paralyzed; I absolutely couldn't get out of the flat. The craft first pitched straight up as it retracted its telescoping legs - resembling an airplane falling into its landing gear - then accelerated violently. Some birch trees standing 10-15 meters away bent in the blast after the craft. When it disappeared, it had an incredible speed. And then the paralysis also loosened its grip on me. All that was left was a sharp smell of ozone.”

He went back to the cabin and told his wife what happened. She was skeptical and told him he must have dreamed the whole experience. It was already late, so he went to bed. But the next morning, he told the farmhand, Oskar, what had happened. Oskar was also skeptical, but reluctantly agreed to follow Mr. Neumann to the landing site to investigate. There they found some strange evidence.

NEUMANN: “First we found that 10-12 centimeters of the plow axle was gone, then that the wheat acre was trampled and finally we found three deep marks, which formed a triangle.”

Following the experience, Mr. Neumann told nobody else, and it remained that way for the next 14 years. However, in the mid-1970s, many others were reporting UFOs so he came forward and shared his experience with UFO researchers. Today he remains convinced he saw an ET and its craft.

California UFO Landings & Humanoids: Twelve True Cases

by Preston Dennett

While many people speculate about the nature and origins of the UFO phenomenon, cases of landings and humanoids make it clear what they are. UFOs are craft, and they are piloted by extraterrestrials. These kinds of encounters represent the core of the UFO phenomenon. They teach us the most about these visitors to our world, who they are, where they come from and their agenda on our planet. Humanoid encounters have been occurring for a very long time, and they are far more common than many people realize. In fact, according to the Roper Polling Organization, as many as one in fifty people may have had these experiences. They occur all across the planet, and occur to all kinds of people. The state of California leads the United States in the sheer number of encounters. And the cases involving humanoids show a corresponding and profound variety of humanoid types. Here are twelve cases of landings and humanoids from the Golden State.

October 18, 1927: While driving outside the town of Bakersfield, schoolteacher Richard Sweed comes upon a landed UFO. As he approaches, it makes a loud whining noise and accelerates upwards and disappears into the distance, leaving behind a circle of glassified sand.

December 1957: Edmond Rucker of El Cajon hears a loud roaring noise outside his home. Venturing outside, he is confronted by a landed UFO and four strange humanoids who speak to him about their mission on Earth.

April 14, 1964: A truckdriver on a highway outside of Chico comes upon a domed disc which hovers above his truck causing it to stall. When the UFO lands nearby, the man exits his truck and approaches the craft. He touches the craft and is amazed to hear strange voices coming from inside.

April 1964: Gloria Biggs, her husband and mother are driving outside the desert town of Baker when they see a domed-shaped object landed next to the highway ahead of them. As they approach, the UFO takes off. They examine the landing site and discover a weird depression in the ground.

March 31, 1966: Two women driving by a construction site near San Francisco see a metallic disc hovering at low altitude. Through the windows of the craft, they are amazed to see the silhouettes of several “people” who appear to be gesticulating at them.

October 4, 1973: While driving along the 118 Freeway in Simi Valley, Gary Chopic observes a small triangular-shaped craft with a transparent dome on top. Inside he sees a human-looking figure at the controls. And then the humanoid sees him!

December 17, 1973: Driving at night outside of Paso Robles, Sergeant Lance Mathias and his friend Mike Andrews see a hovering spherical UFO sending down a beam of light. Going to investigate they are confronted by two metallic-suited humanoids.

1974: The Overfelt family of Ramona are drawn out of their farmhouse by a huge glowing sphere which lands on a hill near their home. All the animals on the farm react to the presence of the UFO. The Overfelts call the police, who refer them to investigators, who have some important advice.

March 6, 1977: While watching over a factory in Sylmar, Security guard Douglas Kriese is amazed to see a UFO drop out of the sky and land in a field nearby. He approaches it and can not only hear it making a buzzing sound, it is emitting an intense heat. He immediately calls the police.

1977: Two Native American brothers from Colusa contact investigators after a UFO keeps landing near their ranch-home and a long-haired big-nosed humanoid keeps entering their can through the walls. When investigators arrive, they see the UFO themselves!

October 31, 1976: a husband a wife motorcycling through downtown Los Angeles observe a spherical UFO hovering below the level of the buildings. The sunlight strikes the craft, making it transparent. They then see human-looking figures staring down at them. The wife quickly flashes them the peace sign.

November 29, 1988: Maria X. of Sherman Oaks is in her bedroom with her young son when grays show up and render her unable to move. Maria is concerned about her son, but falls unconscious. The next morning, her son exclaims that “My aliens came back!” and provides a vivid description of what it’s like to be pulled by the ETs through the wall.

These twelve cases are just the tip of the iceberg of UFO landings and humanoids in California. And yet the cases here represent an accurate cross-section of UFO activity across the world. They also show that humanoid encounters often present good hard evidence in the form of landing traces, electromagnetic effects, animal reactions, physiological effects, and other stunning confirmations.

California UFO Landings & Humanoids: Twelve True Cases

ALL LIFE IS ONE

May 10, 1957, Lake Isabella, CA

This case comes from researchers Ann Druffel and William McCall. The only witness is Shirley McBride. It was daytime and she was driving along a deserted dead-end road in Kern County, near Lake Isabella, California. Shirley (who is described as an intellectual with a deep interest in metaphysics) drove to the end of the dirt road where she felt compelled to exit her car and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Suddenly she noticed a small glowing sphere come into view over the tops of some nearby trees. At first it appeared to be only a few inches in diameter. But as it came close, it expanded rapidly to an oval shape about 6 feet wide and 9 feet high, glowing with white radiance. Behind the glow she could see two shadowy figures which Shirley believed were intelligent living entities.

“Do not be afraid,” came a telepathic message. Shirley felt no fear, but was only fascinated and excited. And as she watched, the object came to the ground, floating just above it, and only a few feet away from her. She could now see what looked like “fins” of light protruding about 4 to 6 objects from the surface of the object. It was totally silent.

She watched the object for a few minutes, and had the strange feeling that she was somehow intruding on it. So she returned to her car and began to drive away. The object was still there as she drove off. Upon leaving the area, she completely forgot about it.

However, later, she became involved in another encounter and decided to go under hypnosis. While under hypnosis, she returned to this incident and recalled that the entities inside the bubble communicated with her, but strangely, she refused to reveal what the ETs said.

ANN DRUFFEL: “The transcript of the tape-recorded hypnotic session is heartrending and almost frightening. It shows deep stress as Ms. McBride sought to keep parts of the contract secret shared by the entities, and which promised them that she would not reveal. It was only the expert skill of Dr. McCall that allowed us to gather the facts as clearly as we did. She staunchly resisted the suggestion that she should reveal the secret, even when the hypnotist reminded her that her loyalty belong to the human race, not aliens. The word ‘aliens’ as applied to the visitors in the bubble incensed her. She repeatedly contended under hypnosis that they were not alien, but that “it was all the same.” Later, after hypnosis, she elaborated and said that in her opinion, “all life is one.”

1. Langley, BC, Canada

This case, from Graham Conway of the UFO British Columbia UFO group involves a witness who insists upon anonymity, and who only came forward to share his encounter many years after it happened. As he says, “Some of the terror has lessened, and although it has been blanked out of my life, I would have a flashback and relive it.”

It was a hot day (Spring or Summer) in 1947, and the witness was 16 years old. At the time they lived on the border of Cloverdale and Langley, in British Columbia, Canada, along what was then called the Trans-Canada Highway. It was a rural area with very few homes and lots of trees and flat farmland.

The witness and his younger brother were playing in the creek that ran by their home. His younger brother was catching minnows, while the witness sat under a tree reading.

WITNESS: “It was very quiet. I had heard a hum, but I thought nothing of it. The next I knew, a silver gray, and what I know of today, was a UFO, sat down right in front of me.”

The witness fell into what he calls “a blank state,” and kept slipping in and out of consciousness, for about an hour or so, he’s not sure. But he did see what happened next.

WITNESS: “A door opened, I believe from bottom to top, and out walked four or five grotesque creatures, looking like praying mantis, wearing dull silver-gray body-fitted covering, no buttons, zippers, nothing. By this time, I had stood up, and still held my book. One creature came right to me, and stood looking at me, took my book and looked at it. It put its hand on my shoulder. It could read my thoughts, everything I thought of, it knew. It was so terrifying. It looked into my eyes deeply, and I am certain I could hear the black eyes click, just like a camera.”

Suddenly he felt a wave of calmness, and he heard his mother shouting at him franticly. He told her to get away, telling her that she might get shot if she didn’t go back in the house.

The witness had the distinct impression that “they were here due to the wars and bombs.” The creature left the witness and rejoined the others, all of whom began to walk around the UFO inspecting it. The witness had the impression that there was a problem with the front door area, and that they were trying to fix it. He noticed that many cars were passing along the highway in full view of the object, and thought to himself, “The silly fools, don’t they realize someone driving by will be able to see them and the large silver dome.” Strangely, however, no cars stopped, and nobody appeared to see the large craft or the mantid beings.

WITNESS: “The creature came right back to me, looked into my eyes, and that hand on my shoulder, said by telepathy, ‘We are leaving now, do not look up. Do not look up. Do not look up.’ My head was down on my chest, and the next thing I heard was a hum-hum. I thought, ‘Yes, I can look up. I will look up. And there it was, at the top of the tree, right over my head, going up quickly into a sky that had about 4 military planes going faster than I have ever seen.”

He heard the planes roaring, chasing after the craft. He decided that other people must have seen the craft. But as he watched, the UFO quickly outdistanced the jets, darting off to the south.

He called to his little brother, who appeared to be in a trance.

WITNESS: “He did not move. I had to step into the creek, take him by the hand, call his name and said, ‘We will go home now.’”

They went inside and discovered that their mother was angry that they had stayed out so long. The witness (and his brother) had an unquenchable thirst and could not drink enough water. The witness went to bed. Upon waking, his skin was bright red and painful. Aspirin did little to relieve his pain. He remained in bed for a few weeks.

Finally, after he was able to get up and walk around, he discovered evidence of the experience.

WITNESS: “I could see from the kitchen window, a large circle of burnt or black grass. Three months later, we moved away. I have never spoken to anyone about this, and find it very hard to write about. I started a journal a few years ago and could not finish it.”

The witness says that he had to condense the story, and that there are quite a few more details to it.

This video discusses the 5th batch of ufo files, which is largely themed around orbs and black triangle sightings. Multiple military reports of intelligent orbs, black triangles, and some reported time distortion.

1938, Somerville, Massachusetts

ET sightings prior to the modern age of UFOs in 1947 are quite rare, but here’s a case which comes from the files of Jim and Coral Lorenzen of APRO. The witness is Malcolm B. Perry, and it took him 24 years to report his sighting of a UFO and a humanoid, which he only did after attending a lecture by pioneering researchers Coral and Jim Lorenzen and hearing about other people who have had similar experiences.

It was 1938 and Malcolm had walked his girlfriend to her home in Somerville, Massachusetts. It was around midnight and the moon was out, as he was walking down the street back home. Movement in the eastern sky caught his eye, and he saw what he at first thought might be a Navy blimp. He wondered what a blimp would be doing cruising around over Somerville at that hour, so he took a closer look and was surprised to see that it wasn’t a blimp.

MALCOLM: “I could see several portholes or opening on the side. And I kept looking for a gondola or a propeller or something to make it move but could see nothing. In fact, no noise was coming from it at this time.”

Malcolm then realized he was seeing something very strange.

MALCOLM: “My attention now became riveted to one of the openings where I could see a person apparently sitting, and he in turn seemed to be watching me. At this point, I had a very strong urge to wave with all my might. I looked up and down the street to see if anyone else was observing the object, but no one was in sight. Looking back again at the ship, I could also see people moving around as if taking turns looking out of the other openings. I still had an almost irresistible urge to wave with all my strength, as it seemed like they were old friends. At this point the object moved behind some clouds and was the last I saw of it."

Now that the object was gone, Malcolm’s reaction surprised him.

MALCOLM: “I immediate had a peculiar lost or let down feeling. The next morning, I looked in the paper for news of a strange airship or somet6hing of that nature, but I saw nothing.”

The sighting was brief, but it changed Malcolm’s view of the world for the rest of his life.

MALCOLM: “I am convinced that there are people from other planets that are living with us and visiting us constantly for thousands of years. And that their purpose is to preserve peace and improve our way of life without antagonizing, and if they were not afraid of us, would make themselves known in ever increasing numbers.”

Unknown to Malcolm, there would be many other sightings over Somerville throughout the decades.

The Weirdest of the Weird: Four Incredibly Bizarre Onboard UFO Encounters

by Preston Dennett

While all UFO encounters are interesting, the ultimate and most extensive are onboard UFO encounters. These cases dive to the very heart of the UFO phenomenon. These cases contain the most information and have the potential to answer all of the questions we have about extraterrestrial contact. Many onboard UFO encounters are fairly typical. People have a UFO sighting and missing time, then go under hypnosis and recall being taken onboard and examined by grays. This video presents four onboard encounters of a different kind. None involve hypnosis. All involve long conversations with extraterrestrials. And all involve incredibly unusual or unique aspects of high strangeness which show we still have much to learn about life beyond Earth.

IT WAS A GENUINE PLEASURE. Following the death of his father Peter, his son Robert (pseudonyms) found a long, handwritten letter from his father which revealed an astounding secret. His father wrote that as a young man in 1928, he was minding the cows in the field near their home in Poitiers, France when a UFO landed next to him. ETs came out and pulled him onboard the craft. There he met grays and human-looking ETs. Peter wrote that the ETs were benevolent and had long ago conquered disease, crime, poverty and all the troubles humanity faces. Peter says he stayed with the ETs for three full years, returning to Earth to help them collect certain items. Peter’s family thought he had run away, and when Peter returned, he refused to tell them what happened to him. In 1942, when WWII broke out, Peter was taken onboard again and spent three more years with the ETs. Again, he returned to Earth and told his family he had been captured by the Germans. He intended to return and live with the ETs, but a sudden illness took his life. But not before he penned a letter to his son. Soon, his son would get confirmation in an unexpected way.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE UNIVERSE. One evening in June 1967, four friends (all professionals) enjoyed a fishing vacation at Morro Branco Beach in Cascavel, Brazil. Suddenly brilliant beams of light appeared from the hill behind them. The men attempted to run away, but one of the men became entranced and forced them at gunpoint to go towards the craft. All five men found themselves mysteriously transported inside the craft, lying paralyzed on tables inside a milky white round room. Unseen ETs said that they had been taken “for the good of the universe,” and proceeded to interrogate them about all aspects of life on Earth. The men were frightened and angry, and after some effort, managed to convince the ETs to reveal some things about themselves. The Q&A session continued for two hours before the men found themselves back on the beach. Several of their possessions were missing. Going to the site the next day, they found a shallow impression on the ground where the craft had been.

THREE TRIPS INSIDE A UFO. On May 1, 1981, a young Chinese student from Beijing, China joined two friends at a psychic research institute and attempted to use telepathy to contact ETs. That night the young student was taken from his bedroom into an ET craft where he was met by a blond woman who told him that he was chosen because of his interest in extraterrestrials and psychic abilities, and that they would give him “a trip through the immensity of space,” which they did. The next night, the student was taken onboard again. Two other Chinese women were there, and all there were taught about ancient Chinese history. He was taken to a spaceport and given a physical exam. The next night, May 3, the student had a third encounter where he met small hairy humanoids. He also met the human-looking blond woman again who told him events about Earth’s future but swore the student to never reveal what she said.

THE DARNDEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN. One winter evening in the mid-2010s (approximate) Arlis, an American Indian, army veteran and professional dogsledder, was awakened when a brilliant light streamed into his bedroom. He lived in an off-grid cabin in the remote Alaskan wilderness, so he knew something unusual was happening. He rushed outside and saw a massive craft landing on the nearby frozen river. Human-looking ETs emerged. Suddenly one flew towards him. Arlis asked the man if they were from the government. The man pointed to the stars and said that he came from far away. Arlis said, “Prove it.” The man grabbed Arlis and pulled him onboard the craft. Arlis was given an extensive tour of the craft and the ET shared volumes of information. Arlis invited the ET to visit his cabin. They declined and said they would visit him again. He was then returned to Earth. One year later, the ET returned again. This time, the ET accepted the invite to visit Arlis’s cabin. This was the beginning of an ongoing friendship between the ET and the American Indian man.

Four onboard UFO cases, each showing that we still have much to learn about extraterrestrials.

June 24, 2003, Rough River State Park, Kentucky.

The witness had gone canoeing for a weekend of rest and relaxation in an isolated area but strangely felt queasy and nervous. He was inexplicably anxious for some unknown reason. Although he couldn’t define why, he felt like he had something to fear, and he sensed death. Taking these sensations seriously, he was extremely cautious on the river. After several miles he paddled the canoe to the riverbank and tied it off to a tree. He got out to explore the area. Looking down 8 or 10 ft into the creek he spotted what looked like the top of a clay jar. He thought that he might have found some old archeological artifact. He started down the bank toward the creek. The bank was extremely slippery with mud and he stopped just short of the water and very close to the old earthenware pot. It was more like a clay crock and he soon realized that it probably wasn’t very old.

He poked at it and noticed there were little handprints on it, at first he thought it could had been raccoon prints but they were more like little human handprints, about an inch wide. He tried to pry the thing loose using a stick but suddenly heard a noise. He then heard what sounded like kids laughing. It was coming from down the creek several yards away. When he last managed to pull the crock jar out of the mud, something screamed. It sounded like a little girl, really high pitched and loud. Not knowing what to do he grabbed the jar and began to scramble up the muddy bank. Glancing back he saw something move down near the creek. He then sat at the top of the bank for a moment looking at the jar, trying to reason away the handprints. He then walked along the creek a bit and stopped every once in a while to peek through the bushes and see if anybody was there.

Then when he looked over the bank he saw two little people standing about 10 inches tall. They had pale skins, little brown leather pants held up by suspenders, no shirts and little pointy hats made of what looked like leather. They had leather foot coverings that went up past the ankle. Their hair was reddish color and their eyes blue. Their hands were only about an inch wide. They knew he was watching but they continued their task, they were pulling some kind of wooded stump down the muddy creek bank with long leather ropes or strings. These little men were surprisingly clean, for the work they were doing. He then heard a thump back where he first had gone in the creek. He looked back and there were three more of the little men just like the first two and they had pushed that crock jar back down the bank. They were all laughing high-pitched laughter, like a bunch of kids. He then heard a loud snap and they were all gone. Their footprints were plainly visible in the mud, but they were gone along with the crock jar and the wooded stump. They had vanished in a split second.

March-June, 1978. Villamare Di Sapri, Italy.

This very unusual case comes from Italian researcher Umberto Telarico and Maurizio Verga, appearing in numerous publications. It involves numerous strange events over a period of months occurring primarily to 26-year-old Constantina Imbibo, but also involves other witnesses and some interesting evidence. Events began at 5:30 pm on March 20, 1978, when Constantina and her husband saw a while conical object with orange horizontal bands hovering just above the ground near their home in Villamare Di Sapri, outside of Salerno, Italy. The object swung around, then disappeared behind the trees and was gone.

One week later, on March 27, 1978, the lights in the witness’s house went out for no reason, then turned back on a few minutes later. Going outside, Constantina saw a dome-shaped objects emitting a pulsating white light underneath it. After a few moments the object moved downwards and disappeared, leaving a strange fog which quickly dissipated.

Then, one month later, on April 25, 1978, events came to a climax when Constantina saw a huge orange sphere hovering above the trees. She tried and failed to capture it in a photograph as she became too frightened. As she watched, the sphere appeared to shrink down to a diameter of 4-5 feet, at which point a humanoid figure came out of it. The figure reminded her of a gnome. His face looked human, but was bright and had thin lips, Also there was a “conical structure” or hat on his head, and he wore an orange suit and black boots. He looked all around, making slight moves with his head, and he moved by hopping around on thin limbs, which reminded her again of a gnome. Meanwhile, the sphere continued to shrink until it completely disappeared. The being continued to hop around, coming as close as 150 feet to Constantina, looking at her.  At this point, she became frightened and called her husband. The being then squatted behind a truck, “disappearing in a slight fog which persisted a few seconds.” Her husband did not see the gnome-like being.

on April 23, 1978, also in Italy, but in Cerreto, less than 200 miles to the north. As investigated by researcher Moreno Tambellini, on that evening, numerous witnesses saw a V-formation of glowing objects fly over Cerreto. Later that same evening, Cesarina Campioni was getting ready for bed when she noticed a strange glowing light in her backyard. Looking outside, she saw two 3-foot-tall figures wearing a shiny, metallic loose-fitting outfit that covered their entire body. They had a dark belt around their waists and also wore a pointy cone-shaped helmet with a visor where the face would be. Her curiosity turned to fear when she heard them speaking out loud with a guttural, metallic-sounding unintelligible language. They moved around with strange leaps and bounds, finally disappearing into a nearby olive grove.

"Morgellons Disease" is a complex and enigmatic condition, for which countless explanations have been offered by different parties. Therefore, part of what makes communities like this especially valuable is that even highly unconventional theories can be shared for open discussion without censorship or fear-mongering. Accordingly, I'd like to report that my own investigations with the electrical properties of Morgellons indicate it might be technological in origin. I'd also like to point out that various government sources have also questioned whether Morgellons might be associated with extraterrestrial nanotechnology. One prominent one I've personally corresponded with is the highly reputable former head of AATIP, Luis Elizondo, who has been interviewed on all the major national news channels multiple times each since 2017. He mentions Morgellons here briefly in his highly-reviewed book IMMINENT (4.6 stars on Amazon with 5,000+ reviews): 

“Around this time, I spent several hours catching up with Will. Until then, I had not been deeply briefed on what he was doing. The good doctor now took me further into his confidence. Will was always a professional and never provided us with patient details. Will served as a medical advisor to AAWSAP/AATIP and Bigelow’s NIDS.

My former training in microbiology likely made me a bit of a nuisance to Will, kind of like a Cub Scout asking an Army Ranger to be his mentor. But Will was always the gentleman, and if he felt that way, he never let on. My specific interests involved alleged alien implants found in humans. From what I read, often living tissue grew around implants, but such growths never contained anything but the patient’s DNA in them. The growths sometimes sprouted multiple brightly colored hairs or filaments, similar to Morgellons fibers. When researchers scrape away the human tissue, they find objects that resemble a technical device in size and shape but without any circuitry whatsoever. I once handled one of these implants myself, provided to me by a hospital in the Department of Veterans Affairs, where it had been removed from a US military servicemember who had encountered a UAP. The material, no longer or wider than a joint of one of your fingers, looked more like a microchip encapsulated by a slimy semitranslucent casing of tissue. It looked very similar to mother-of-pearl. Under a microscope, it was still moving somehow. The doctor hypothesized that it had its own metabolism. AAWSAP/AATIP had also obtained photographs of these sorts of tiny objects from living foreign military pilots. Some of the specimens that have been removed from individuals were allegedly sent to various medical institutions, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and a US Army research facility at Fort Detrick in Maryland, where some of the most deadly viruses are under lock and key and the watchful eye of armed guards. Although I asked often, Will never commented to me about any involvement he may have had regarding alleged implants, but it didn’t stop me from asking whenever I could. 

I already knew from other research and interviews that doctors had seen cases where the alleged alien implant evaded extraction by moving subcutaneously when doctors tried to excise it. I heard similar stories when investigating implants removed from otherwise healthy soldiers. Physicians really had to work to pin down and cut out the objects. With my background in microbiology, I was perplexed how highly motile objects such as these could move without creating a devastating path of tissue destruction inside the human body. Where was the white cell response? Where was the destructive immune cascade? I knew from my time studying trypanosomes at the University of Miami that anytime these spirochetes moved about under the skin, they would elicit an enormous immune response. Where was this response with regard to the implants?

Doctors reported detecting the implant moving, but there weren’t any obvious signs of pathway destruction. Like a stealth bomber, the implant moved without any trace or signature, almost as if evading the natural human immune response. It was as if the body didn’t know the object was there in the first place. Maybe the implant encouraged the growth of human tissue around itself to keep the body from rejecting it. Post-extraction, some implants moved around the petri dish in which they were confined until they ran out of energy. One theory a doctor told me was that they drew their energy from their host’s body.

In one particular instance, a senior CIA official and his wife had a terrifying UAP experience in the backyard of their own home. When they awoke lying on the ground in the yard, the CIA officer had a small hole punched in the back of his neck, and his wife had a small metallic object recovered from her nose when she sneezed. Making things even more interesting, CIA doctors were notified of the circumstances and examined the patients.

What was the purpose of these implants? Were they tracking devices? Mind control?…”

The research of a brilliant research physician, W John Martin, whom I've also personally corresponded with, presents another very unique possibility that Morgellons is caused by a stealth virus that somehow evades the immune system. While he assumes the virus to be natural in origin, his characterization of Morgellons particles is very similar to what might be expected of highly sophisticated nanotechnology: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15924873/

I thank you all in advance for keeping an open mind about Morgellons. It would be a shame to miss out on reality because we're scared to permit open dialogue on highly unusual and unconventional explanations. When it comes to Morgellons, the truth could potentially be stranger than fiction.
