HALLOWEEN STORY

Black Shadows and Mystery Lights

One cold night when the moon was dark, three men sat drinking in a shack by the side of a local lane. The shack was hard to see because it was down in a gulch, but it was right beside the road. They were drunks and the whole town knew it. The neighbors had learned to ignore the laughter, shouting, hoots and howls that emanated from the place in the wee hours. Whose home the shack was is hard to say. All sorts of riffraff hung out there. Drivers had to be careful at the dip in the road by the shack's gulch. Often drunks were stumbling about in the road. There seemed to be one snaggletooth, shaggy-bearded old man there the most. I later found out he wasn't so old - only in his forties - at his demise, and in that demise lies a tale - a continuing tale of blood and horror.

I had grown up not too far from this lane, so I knew about the shack. My parents admonished me not to ride my bike by the place - ever! I didn't, but the truth is, this place was part of my childhood landscape.

On that cold night, the neighbors had called the sheriff's office - again. The revelers at the shack were fighting and there were some awful and chilling sounds. By the time the sheriff's department arrived, all had fallen quiet, deathly quiet.

The first deputy on the porch slipped and fell down on the slick planks. He put his hand on the porch floor to rise and noticed it was covered with a thick, sticky, slick substance. He shined his flashlight on his hand. It was black blood.

I remember the stories, some from one of the deputies actually there, of what happened next. The two deputies yelled for the inhabitants to come out. This was the standard procedure for the shack and its inhabitants. No one wanted to get too close to the drunks. Sometimes they were combative and sometimes they had weapons. On this night there was no reply, but after calling again they heard a gurgling sound, accompanied by a moan. The deputies radioed for back-up and proceeded. They carefully made their way to the front door, covering each other. From the open, dark door exuded the stale odor of old booze and a sickly sweet, salty smell that reminded one of the deputies of the way it smells when fish bed or the smell of a hog slaughter.
The first deputy on the porch slipped and fell down on the slick planks. He put his hand on the porch floor to rise and noticed it was covered with a thick, sticky, slick substance. He shined his flashlight on his hand. It was black blood. He shined the flashlight into the shack and what he saw changed him. All the guys at the department said he was never the same again.

Other units arrived and more lights probed the darkness of the shack. The shabby and broken furniture glistened darkly with blood. Three figures lay sprawled about the interior, including the snaggletooth, shaggy bearded man. It was uncertain whose moan they had heard because all three were now dead. Their throats were all gashed and raggedly slashed by broken bottles. One had the neck of a broken liquor bottle sticking from the side of his throat. Another was nearly decapitated. Several of the deputies and other officials became ill at the sight and the smell.
The final report of the incident stated that apparently the three men had gotten into a brawl, possibly over an old hag of a woman that frequented the shack to drink and do whatever, and killed each other. That was based on rumor. The presumption was the last one left standing succumbed to his massive wounds after the others had, with that final moan. It was altogether possible that someone else might have killed them and fled. There never was any evidence to support that. The woman was not to be found for questioning and was never seen again.

The authorities boarded the old shack up. I remember finally riding my bicycle by the shack and looking at this place of horror with morbid fascination. Within a year, it mysteriously burned to ashes one dark, cold night.

But, that was not the end.

As is so often with horrible events, the very virulence of the evil embeds itself onto, or into, the surroundings. That is the way of evil: it taints a place and salts the soil so nothing good comes of it, then it advertises.

Immediately, even before the house burned down, the sheriffs department startled to get calls from the same area neighbors saying there were sounds coming from the boarded up shack. The neighbors seemed to think that ghoulish teenagers were breaking into the place and partying there. There were rumors of satanic worshippers using the place. Some of the neighbors reported feeling uneasy about the shack, even more so than when its occupants tread the soil as mortals.

It wasn't until after it had burned that people started seeing the lights. Neighbors could see them from the distance, always described as swinging oil lanterns. It just so happened that the shack never did have electricity and that oil lamps were used for lighting. Those driving past the site in cars saw lights down in the gulch by the road.

Then there are the dark figures in the road.

Many people have run through the dark shadows. One had seen four shadows: three men and one woman. He said that he had stopped and watched them "glide about." He noticed that they had eyes - malevolent eyes - and they were staring at him.

Traveling on this lane from north to south, one climbs a slight hill, but once cresting the hill there is a short gradual slope, then a sharp dip in the road. The shack sat aside the west side of the road, somewhere between the crest and the dip. All that area has changed now and it is hard for me to remember the shack's exact location, but those who have lived there seem to know.

"Yep, I saw them bunches of times," says one man who used to live within sight of the spot. "I also knows a whole bunch of folks that has seen them, too! First thing I ever noted that was wrong was that you'd see lights moving through all that scrub brush growing down in that hole by the veterinarian's driveway, across from the old factory. It looked like someone was walking all through that thick brush with some kind of light on a handle like a railroad conductor uses. The light swung as they walked. Yeah, and I seen them in the road, too: them dark figures. There's more than one. I come up over the hill one night and I come down in the dip and there was two black shadows - that's what they looked like, shadows - standing out in the road right smack dab in front of me! I ran right through them, and as I did so I felt this horrible cold feeling go all over me, like goose bumps! There weren't no noise, no thump and no dents and scratches on my car. It was like I run through smoke. And, that happened several times whilst I lived out there in the '70s and '80s. I got kind of used to it, if such a thing be possible."

I've heard this tale, or ones very similar to it, from several people now. Most have not seen the lights, but many people have run through the dark shadows. One I spoke with told me that he had seen four shadows one night: three men and one woman. He said that he had stopped and watched them "glide about," and that after he had watched them for a minute or so, he suddenly noticed that they had eyes - malevolent eyes - and they were staring at him. He says he backed up the road to keep from driving through them and that his transmission on his truck went out later that night. He knows that was connected to the dark figures.

I heard a story of the dark shapes as recently as last week. A person was introduced to me, because I am a willing listener to such stories and have achieved the dubious reputation as somewhat of a local authority on such matters. This family man lives in one of the new subdivisions to the area. He is a no-nonsense sort of guy, a level-headed businessman and pillar of his community and church. He confesses that he has driven through the dark shadows three times over the last two years, and it really shakes him up. He started making discreet inquires as to what the phenomena may be, and found his way to me. I was able to supply him with a possible answer. I think he believes it, too!

"You know," he told me, "A couple of times at night when I was sitting in my backyard, I have heard a horrible sound of animals fighting from that direction. It's odd because the sound fluctuates like it is riding on the wind, first soft then very loud. Oh, and it's an awful sound, too! It's not the sound of cats or dogs fighting; it's far worse and terrible. It is the sound of very vicious animals snarling and gurgling, fighting to the death."

I guess they still brawl.

I confess that I have driven that road day and night all my life and I have never seen anything, but I assure you, there are plenty that have - and still do! - Frank F. Baugh

TWO HUMANOID CASES

Location. Near Stasov, Kapustin Yar, Russia
Date: February 18 1990 Time: 0745A

Teenager Dmitriy Milkin was ice fishing in the banks of the Ahtuba River when he was suddenly confronted by a globe-shaped object resembling two hemispheres placed together. The craft landed on three pods, a hatch opened in the lower section and a ladder was automatically released to the ground. Two tall aliens (more than 2 m in height) came out. He described them as having oblong faces, large eyes, and small mouth, dressed in metallic looking outfits. They wore small caps on their heads with two short antennas.

Via telepathy the aliens said, “You will fly with us”, clearly heard inside the witness' head. Apparently some kind of preliminary mental influence was “beamed” inside the teenager even before he noticed the UFO. The witness felt, as he was being treated indifferently by the aliens and felt somewhat inferior.

He was taken onboard and found himself in a round room about 8 m in diameter. There he saw control panels, buttons, screens and other equipment around. The room had 6 seats. He was told to sit in a single armchair made out of semi-transparent yellowish material. One of the pilots pressed a button, and a flight program was apparently inserted into the ship’s “computer”, he then heard a telepathic command: “Close your eyes and don’t be afraid, we will say when to open them again.” Then Milkin felt heaviness on his body, he partially opened his eyes and was stunned to see the hour pointer in his watched rotating faster than the minute pointer. The whole flight lasted only 40-45 seconds.

After the craft landed he went outside and was confronted by an alien landscape. There were two suns: the bigger star was of the orange color; the second sun was dark orange in color. The flora was dense and the trees were of unusually bright green color. The ground was sandy color, but not sand. The air was extremely fresh, uncommonly light and tasty. The gravitational pull was less than the earth. He saw several other crafts there, some looking like spheres others disc-shaped. He was accompanied to a 2-story building; light bluish in color, with some yellowish elements, of almost cubic shape, with a domed shaped roof and big glassy windows. He was then sat in a room where a meal was presented to him. Incredibly, the spoon had Russian markings on it. (!). The food resembled Jell-O and was tasty and sweet. Later he saw robotic creatures apparently used for domestic purposes. The aliens spoke among themselves in a tonal language.

He was told that: “He was not fit for their purpose because of your mental capabilities”. And he was returned back to earth.

One last stunning detail: The alien spacecraft was some sort of interstellar machine, since when they arrived to earth it apparently was in the distant future. The aliens asked him if he wanted to stay in this time, but he refused.

After the encounter Milkin mental capabilities apparently improved.

Location. Simferopol, Crimea, Ukraine
Date: Spring 1990 Time: early morning

The female witness, Natalya Shishkina was awakened by a strong sound, resembling that of a helicopter or tractor hovering over the small wooded house where she was sleeping, where she lived temporarily in her grandmother’s property. The sound was more like that of farm equipment but more muffled.

She looked out the window and saw a silver object, descending from the sky resembling a “big belly” barrel. The object gave off bright rainbow-colored lights. The barrel-shaped object landed softly on the ground.

Then a clicking sound was heard, and the witness suddenly went into a semi-sleep, semi-awake state. Nearby a small woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The woman was shorter than of average height, and was dressed in a silvery tight-fitting suit. She had very long hair, light brown in color. The strange woman seemed to change her appearance on several occasions. She had unusually large eyes, very kind and clever looking. They emanated much energy and kindness. Filled with emotion Natalya began to cry while she stared at the alien woman.

The alien woman then began to communicate with Natalya telepathically. Natalya asked where she was from; the answer was, “from the first planet beyond the Sun is where we live”. The woman further stated that only the blond entities lived there, that they were very kind and intelligent. They always had warm conditions on their planet, unlike the earth. They enjoyed their planet immensely and took care of it. All the dark shades or colors were absent on that planet (dark hair, etc).

After that the woman commented that it was very cold here but that it would get warmer in two days. Natalya asked the woman how they managed to fly by the sun without getting burned by its immense temperatures.

At this point she heard the clicking sound once more and heard the question, “Would you like to fly with us? But the alien woman then added quite ominously, “But for that to happen, you must die physically, according to your terrestrial notions. We have no one like you where we live, with dark hair, but you will feel good on our planet.” She added, “You will again become a human being on our planet”. Natalya agreed with her (!) and the alien woman began to caress her hair on the back, saying, “What beautiful hair” Natalya had tears in her eyes, but felt very good and calm, as if she was in the hands of a loving mother.

Natalya further understood that the aliens were very intelligent, full of wisdom and lacked greed or aggressiveness. But we have something, which they did not possess (it is not clear what). Soon Natalya thought about her mother and after that the clicking sound was heard in her head again, the alien woman then bade her goodbye and wished her well and hurried back to the landed UFO approaching the object in an unusually quick pace.

After she entered the object it began to rotate around its axis and vanished in plain sight. At this point Natalya seemed to snap out of a trance, her eyes were still wet, tears still streaming from her eyes. At first she thought it had been all a dream but soon realized that the event had been real.

The branches of a nearby plum tree appeared broken on top, near where the barrel had landed. Her brother sleeping in the next room had also heard the engine sound, but was unable to awake from a deep sleep.

Two days after the contact, the cold temperatures seemed to lift from the village and became very warm. Natalya’s hair acquired a beautiful appearance for a whole year without using any shampoos or conditioners. All of her acquaintances were amazed at her hair.

But her teeth began to fall out, and her immune system became weaker, as if she had been suffering from radiation poisoning. She also began to experience prophetic dreams.

MY NAME IS ERIC, THIS IS MY STORY

Date: Tuesday, January 13 @ 17:21:20
MSTTopic: Abduction Reports

The Beginning: It's hard to really say when my story really began. There are dreams in my past that I feel may or may not to related. I will not bore you with those details. There are two things I must relate to you before I tell you about the night of the Visitors. All of these things transpired within a six-month period.

The Nightmare: Like most dreams, the nightmare was kind of stupid. The only reason I am reporting it is because it is most likely related because of the Buzzing sound I heard during the nightmare. In the Nightmare, I was hiding beneath the floorboards of a building somewhere. I could see the space above the floorboards through the cracks between the boards. Above the floor was an object that I remember being similar to an upright vacuum cleaner. On it's front side was a very bright light. It was searching for me, and I was hiding. It made a loud buzzing sound. The same sound I heard the night of the Visitors.

The Helicopter: I have been plagued off and on through out my life with sleepwalking. To me sleepwalking is semi-conscious, almost trance like state, other times I remember nothing at all. I have even hurt myself running in my sleep. Sleepwalking is a very bizarre experience. My memory of the night of the helicopter is rather blurred. I was in the familiar trance like state while a helicopter was flying extremely close to the house and shining its lights in the window. This also woke up my girlfriend. The really bizarre part of this incident was that I was crouched down near the floor, near the window, yelling at my girlfriend to get down. I was extremely afraid and very panicked. She later told me that I kept telling her that "They were going to get us". I do not remember how this episode ended.

The Night of the Visitors: A few months after the Helicopter incident I had the most bizarre experience of my life. It was May 2, 1992. I awoke; around 3 a.m. to some noise or activity outside my window. My first impression was that someone was messing with my car outside, however I did not get up to look out. I felt as though there was a crowd outside my window. I remember thinking that if I was quiet, and did not move, they would not know I was there. Fear set in. I knew it was "Them".

About this time I started to hear a very strange buzzing noise. (The same buzzing noise I heard in the nightmare.) It was very faint at first but grew louder with each passing second. It soon became very loud, almost loud enough to vibrate objects in the room. I continued to lie very still. My heart was beating very loud and my body was full of adrenaline. I was both absolutely terrified and totally in awe. I knew what was happening. As I lay on the bed, I watched the sky through the Venetian blinds.

They were open wide enough to see the outside sky very clearly. As the buzzing grew louder, I saw a triangle shaped craft slowly appear, turn, and head towards my house from the corner of the block. It had three lights. One up front, and two at the back to form a triangle. It reminded me of a helicopter without rotors. It continued in my direction until it was almost just past the window. It is here that the memory ends. I awoke nearly an hour and fifteen minutes later. Everything was back to normal. I have a small image in my memory of seeing this thing up close. Near one of it's lights. It was a dull flat black color with very little shine. It appeared to be held together by rivets.

I do very much feel that this was not a dream, as I was too full of adrenalin to be asleep. The event seemed too real.

Thank you Eric

ALIEN HEALINGS

By Leneesa

In the last years we have been inundated with information pertaining to the "negative Greys." It is my contention that this information has been purposefully slanted. There have been many instances of healings that have never been revealed to the public. In this article I will tell you a few.

The most famous case we have in our files was related in a previous blog, The Helene Charbonneau case. Helene was healed of advanced pancreatic cancer as an adult by the "visitors."

Before that, as a little girl she was healed of tuberculosis of the spine. That took place in a Catholic shrine in Quebec. Who can really say who the perpetrator was. At the time she was 9 years old and walked with the aid of braces.

When she was healed a bolt of electricity went through her from head to toe causing her to jump up out of her seat. She knew she was completely well at that moment.

In 1985 Helene was in a car wreck where she broke some vertebrae in her back. The doctors inserted metal rods in her back. A chip of bone rested on her spine resulting in excruciating pain which could only be lessened by huge doses of pain killers. The pain killers caused another adverse condition. In 1989 Helene was again healed by her contacts. They also removed the bone chip.

Paris Colorado became very ill in 1984. X-rays could not determine the cause but the symptoms all pointed toward Gallstones. Finally the doctor decided to take his gallbladder out. When they took X-rays they found the scars from an operation on his stomach for ulcers! The doctor asked him when he was operated on and he said never! (that he remembered!)

His eyes were examined and they found scar tissue from an injury, one he was not aware of!

One of the Associate Directors in the UFOCCI in New Jersey was asked when she had her ear operated on. She never had.

A regular member of our group suffered from acute arthritis. During a contact experience a rod of "light" was shoved through her shoulder. Since that day the arthritis in her shoulder has disappeared.

In South America in the 50's a young girl was dying of cancer. The family were gathered around the bed waiting the final moment. All of a sudden several aliens came right through the window. They carried a strange instrument which they placed on the girls abdomen. When they did a light came on and you could see everything on the inside of the girl. One of the aliens gave five pills to the father and instructed him to give the girl one a day. The father followed the instructions and the girl was totally healed.

In Italy a few years ago a healing took place in a hospital which was observed on the monitor in the nurses station. A tape was made of three aliens coming into the hospital carrying an instrument. They wore light blue iridescent suits that looked like "fish scales." Light emitted from beneath their arms and between their legs.

They entered the room of a dying man who also had cancer. They ran the instrument up and down his body and he was completely healed.

This is probably the only case where a picture was taken of the aliens. This case was being written up by Wendelle Stevens. Perhaps he will tell us more about this case.

One of our abductees in Seattle had a huge lump in the hollow of her collarbone. It appeared to make her shoulder and arm go numb. Finally in desperation she submitted to a die test. Just going through this test resulted in convulsions, abnormal low temperature, then abnormally high temperature. As the instrument snaked through her arteries they found her artery was completely abnormal and went around her liver and curled back and around it where the doctor had never seen one before. In the artery was a solid object! All of the doctors in the hospital came rushing to observe this abnormality. At this point she felt she was going to die if she didn't get out of there. She demanded they remove the instrument stating she was leaving. They said no way can you get up off this table and leave. She did!

Who knows the reason for the object being placed in her artery and by whom? This case had so many physical anomalies.

Another person in our Seattle group had blood clots which broke off and entered the heart and lungs resulting in a near death experience. This was the fourth hospitalization. The percipient found himself above his body. The room filled with a blue light. He said, "I am not ready to go back." At that point he was back in his body. He was completely healed and all the blood clots were gone.

This was the second time the blue light came to him. The first time was when he decided there was nothing more to live for. He had started to go out the door to his car to end it all and the light appeared. After that he had a complete turn around in his thinking.

A lady that lives in Los Angeles told about an experience she had when she was 12 years old. She was born with a congenital heart defect. One side of her heart was huge and the other small. Her brother had died from the same condition. The doctors insisted she have an open heart surgery to correct the condition.

One night she had a dream that a man had came to her and did something to her chest to the point she felt like he was crushing her. The next morning she woke up with such pain she was rushed to the hospital. When she was X-rayed the heart was healed and totally normal.

Later when she was an adult she went to a chiropractor for an adjustment. He took X-rays and could see where surgery had been performed on her discs. He asked her when she had the surgery done and she said never! There was also a small scar on her lower spine she was not aware of until that time.

Viktor Kostrykin in Russia had a very bad heart which had given him problems over the years. When he was contacted and taken aboard a UFO one of the aliens came to him with black gloves on. He reached through his clothes and into his chest cavity and massaged his heart. Viktor screamed but when the alien withdrew his hand his heart was completely healed.

Another past member in our group had scars behind each ear. They are in the crease of the ear and look like her ears have been surgically removed. Now she wonders what caused the scars because on contemplating when she was 18 months old she had severe respiratory infections. The doctor decided to take tonsils out. She had an immediate recovery, no more infections. The location of the scars for biological engineering does not make sense. Now she wonders if the ETs did something to rectify her condition because there is no visible reason for the scars.

The above cases are just a few of the overall picture. I think we do not realize, nor can we understand, what the total picture about the Greys or aliens involve. Will we ever?

Comments about yesterday's blog concerning the triangular marks on the back of the elbow.
_______
From Bill Hamilton:

Leenesa,
From the story: Stranger though is a mark on the back of my arm. It wasreally hard to get a picture of. Now, I don't recall missing time. Thismark hurt which is how I found it, and it was in an odd place, on theback of my forearm. I am including pictures here for you. It was veryhard to photograph and it has the shape of a perfect isosceles triangle.

From my book "Alien Magic": Gary had a drawing made illustrating the pertinent dimensions and angles on the broken windshield of highwaypatrolman Val Johnson's car that was shattered when he collided with aUFO. One particular triangle stood out and has appeared in other cases. It was an isosceles triangle with proportional dimensions of22-41-22. Gary also showed me a photo of the rear end of a car that was lifted off the ground on a highway in Missouri when it had a close encounter with a UFO. It had two indentations in the trunk that, together with the ornament on the trunk, formed an isosceles triangle of the same proportions. When you inscribe this triangle inside a circle with the apex at the circle's center, it produces a golden cut of the circle, or golden sector, which contains the ratio PHI(1.1618:1). Are these numbers and symbols a clue to Alien Magic?

If this person could measure the sides of the isosceles triangle and itis proportional to the 22-41-22 triangle, we can pin it down.This has significance.

From an "anonymous" experiencer

Talking about Strange Marks showing up on the body; I have had a bunch ...Scars & unexplained wounds I have a Black / Purple Thumb size mark on my back ( STILL THERE) the top skin is dry & apears to be dead..I..first noticed it after the 1 / 2 hr sighting in San Diego 3/6/96, 6:00pm to 6:30pm ...the one I call "BIG_RED". 100 ft wide ..it came down just above the Lakeside valley .. close to an airport but under the radar.. it was just above the tree tops for a half hour sighting.. I had missing time, somewhere between 6:30 and 9:00pm -- not sure... but didn't realize it till several years later when thinking back on the time my son arrived to return my car. The next day I saw the THUMB mark on my back in a mirror when it started to itch ..I looked back there..

A STRANGE thing happened on a trip from Sacramento California to San Diego. I was coming down the Grapevine into Los Angeles. I seemed to lose about 40 miles as I came to a commercial warehouse area next to the freeway. I saw a sign to my right that said "KNOTTS BERRY FARM". I was going about mph.. I looked up to my left, this was midnight, Thursday...June 13, 2002 ....I saw a Huge Triangle made up of THREE-BRIGHT - WHITE CIRCLES and green lights shooting out the bottom on both sides. The next day I had pain on my right elbow and when I touched it.. it was "gooey" and raw. All the top layer of skin was gone.

I WISH there were just "ONE" ET ( a Grey or Entity ..or their "BOSS", the one who sends them ...who would tell us the real reason they come to us..and why they do these things to us .Why they study and experiment on us, also why most remember some of the experiences ..and some don't remember "ANY"? I would really like to know if the Bigfoot or ( Sasquatch) or yeti is a early version of "US". ? I can "WONDER" till my brains fall out and not get an answer!

And now for the story of today:

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM, CAN WE MEASURE IT?
By Leneesa

In 1990 and 1991 the UFOCCI received articles from Mohammed _____ in Iran. The articles alluded to UFOs in the Quran. In Iran questioning the contents of the Quran is an offense punishable by incarceration or even death. To the Muslims, the Quran is not to be altered by one word. It is, for them, the direct word of God.

The UFOCCI published the articles in the Missing Link magazine we produced. We can only think this contributed to what happened to Mohammed.

In 1991, I received a call from Mohammed in Turkey. He was pleading for help. The Iranian secret police were trying to catch up with him. He asked me to help him. I suggested he go to the Japanese or American embassy. There was nothing I could do. I felt sorry. More than sorry, I felt utter helplessness knowing that something terrible was going to happen to him.
We didn't hear from Mohammed again. I thought he probably was dead. How were we to know? There was no way to find out.

In March of 1994, I moved to Texas and turned the UFOCCI over to Terry Burris. He carried on with meetings. Then on May 1, 1996, I moved back to the Seattle area. By this time I'd lost touch with what was happening in UFOlogy. I'd kept some contacts here with people who were involved in Terry's group. When I came back, I went to the meetings and met new members.
A member of the group, Eddie Melvin, was in Puerto Rico researching the chupacabra. When Eddie came back, we invited him to our meeting to speak on his experiences.

Several meetings later Eddie told me he had received a letter from Marilyn Childs. He told me he thought the letter was for me. The letter had been sent to Marilyn by Walt Andrus, the head of MUFON (at that time), with a note attached requesting it be sent to me as I had changed my address and the party who wrote the letter couldn't reach me. Marilyn gave it to Eddie whom I didn't know at the time. I don't know why she did that. Eddie decided to answer the letter, although he never opened it. He told me that he had received a letter from a man in Iran. I said I wondered if it was from my friend Mohammed.

Eddie sent me the letter. It was definitely from Mohammed. Following is what the letter said.

"It has been a long time since I contacted you last. This is due to the fact that I have been in jail from January 1991 until October 1995.

"Today I am so happy to have returned to my family and to freedom, having the chance to write this letter to you.

"I know this way of communication is a great risk for me but I wish to inform you that I want to continue my UFO research in Iran from now on. (There is punishment for this according to Islamic Laws.)

"However, I will be pleased to receive your membership card. It will be my pleasure to attend your seminars and UFO congresses.

"Looking forward to hearing from you."

Can we even imagine how it would be to not be free to write what we want? We're protected by the US Constitution, a stark contrast to the Iranian constitution. What we take for granted is something people in Iran can only dream about and risk their very lives for. I pray that Mohammed will be free in the future to do his research and not be oppressed.

Another example of government control was written by Paul Stonehill, who runs the Russian UFOlogy Research Center in Tarzana, California. Paul writes that there have been unprecedented attacks on UFO researchers in Russia. "Russian media gave the gruesome details about acts by religious fanatics from several different sects. In 1993-94, hoodlums who believe UFOs are 'messengers of God' attacked the Russian UFO Center and its employees on several occasions. The Russian information agency, Novosti, reported that UFOlogists have been threatened by telephone, huge numbers of defamatory leaflets, and offensive graffiti tagged on their homes and office buildings. Also reported by Novosti were attempts on UFOlogists' lives, including arson.

"Television reporters who cover UFO related news are also fair game. A. F. Myagchenkov, a well known TV personality and producer of a popular Russian TV program entitled Extra-NLO, has received many telephone threats. American producers who visited the bright young Myagchenkov found he was not silenced, but L. S. Makarova, who produced the popular TV program Unidentified Universe was brutally silenced. She was struck in the face with brass knuckles in Moscow, in broad daylight. She was so traumatized that she took her program off the air. The fanatics won that round.

"Threats have greatly affected the work of such prominent researchers of anomalous phenomena as cosmonaut Pavel Romanovich Popovich, academician V.P. Kaznacheyev, and engineer A. S. Kuzovkin. After appeals by the leaders of the city's UFO study groups, law enforcement in Moscow curtailed the terrorists to some extent, and sent some of the perpetrators to prison. Terrorists remained active in the provincial cities of Penza, Yekaterinburg, and Tver. In October 1995, scientist and UFOlogist A. Zolotov was murdered in Tver.

"Viktor Petrovich Kostrikin, (my friend!) a UFOlogist well known in Russia and abroad, was savagely beaten and his apartment was ransacked. The 70-year old researcher was at home on December 9, 1995, when two young men broke into his home at four o'clock in the afternoon. They beat him up methodically, and when there was nothing left to maim, the hoodlums tore apart his personal belongings. (He later died from this beating.)

"The Russian UFOlogy Research Center has been trying to find a well-known researcher from Vladivostok, Alexander Rempel. He was a fearless explorer, author, and publisher. Rempel and his colleagues have studied The Devil's Cemetery, the site of the Tunguska meteorite's fall in Siberia. His findings have been published in prominent Russian science magazines such as Tekhnika Molodezhi of Moscow. Rempel had excellent contacts among the Russian military in the Far East, and helped explore phenomena such as the Height 611 'crash.' He was one of the first to study the sinister cults that have recently mushroomed in Russia. Perhaps he found out too much; there has been no news of him since the end of 1994. His newspaper, Dzhentry, is no longer being published. What happened to his archives, his files, his unfinished work?

"Something is very wrong with a society where researchers of anomalous phenomena are attacked and terrorized. In the old days, it was the threat of the gulag that kept them silent. Today it is the terrorists that shut them up."

The next time you start to complain about America, think of these intrepid researchers who have risked all to enlighten the public and science. Would you do the same?

This article was written several years ago. I believe conditions in Russia have improved since the military have come out in the open about UFO sightings. As for Iran, I doubt it has changed much. I wish I knew what happened to my friend Mohammed. I did notice he was to speak at a conference in Brazil but when I read who attended his name was not on the list. Now what has happened to him!!! (I changed his name for his protection)

ONE PERSON'S EXPERIENCES

Colfax, Wisconsin
Date: Friday, September 09 @ 10:54:17

Brian, i have been meaning to write you. I had a couple of things to mention. No more visual sightings to report but something strange to share. I forgot to mention to you that my car battery was dead after one of these sightings. I remember running outside cause I thought I was going to drive out in the country and see this thing without the glare of the city lights. Then I remembered I had not charged my battery and that the car didn't start that morning. It was a brand new battery. I don't know if it is significant or not. Although car problems seem to occur when these events do.

Stranger though is a mark on the back of my arm. It was really hard to get a picture of. Now, I don't recall missing time. This mark hurt which is how I found it, and it was in an odd place, on the back of my forearm. I am including pictures here for you. It was very hard to photograph and it has the shape of a perfect isosceles triangle. It looked initially like a burn, yet it was almost a dry burn. It affected the entire area around it, only the corners seemed to be raised somewhat initially. The shadow of this image remains on my arm today. It is creepy. While wandering through your site last night, I saw the article you had from the Israeli UFO investigator who shows a nearly identical mark only on the left arm. This is almost identical to mine, different arm. In such a weird place. I wouldn't have noticed it at all in that location, although I had some pain there so I looked. I also had a severe headache for days after this. It was awful.

As far as my other experiences I have had several odd ones that stand out as those events that shaped me to become the person I am. And for whatever reason they seem connected to this phenomenon so many have experienced. So here it goes:

When I was little I was terrified of my windows, I wasn't sure why then. Several times I woke up and had dots of blood on my pillow and my nose hurt. I also remember a time when I was outside, and I looked down at my hand, It was bleeding and the skin looked like it was cut. I remember that some " little people around me" put a kind of rock in my hand and closed it up. I was upset and went in to my mom and said "you have to get it out". She saw very little blood and I have a scar on that wrist. I am 47 now. My mom has no idea what could have made such a scar and doesn't recall any accident I had then. But for the scar to remain, when many have come and gone over the years that have been significantly worse makes me realize it had to have been fairly significant at the time. Now, on to the other experiences.

My brother and I were avid star gazers. He had a telescope and I spent many nights outside stargazing and studying astronomy. I used to laugh though about UFO's. He said they were real, and I said he was nuts.

My grandfather taught me dowsing when I was little. I was a natural. At seven I had a major spiritual experience. Yes, seven! I became aware of psychic abilities and began having premonitions many of which have come to pass. I heard a voice inside, and that voice told me that life would be difficult for me at some points. But it also told me that I had chosen exactly that road, that path and that lifetime. I was told that I would not have any natural children. I told my mother that I was going to be a nun. I was going to adopt children from other countries. I just had a strong sense that somehow my life would involve a lot of spiritual challenges. My mother has the same psychic abilities although it scares her to talk of them. And now, I am noticing that my niece is next in line. I just think that all of this, the encounters, everything has a profound spiritual effect on people. And it seems that they have at times inherited "gifts" such as the gift of sight. At the same time though as a little girl I was very logical. Must be the Virgo traits I have.

When I was 19 I came home from MPLS. (I was at a Christian college and I was going to be a missionary) for a visit. That night I awoke to a bright light streaming into my room. It flooded the wall in front of my bed and the backyard. At that time my parents had just built a new home and the backyard had been a pasture and part of a farm. There were no neighbors at that time in the backyard area. I awoke to this sound of a mighty wind as it rushed over my body. I lay paralyzed and unable to move.

I tried to scream. I couldn't. I felt someone was trying to steal my soul. I was besieged by this feeling three times, what I remember most of that night is someone over me, with some kind of knife or some kind of instrument and the being had eyes, eyes that I will never forget and that I have since seen again in similar type of night sieges. These eyes were like deep pools of water, dark and disturbing and all knowing. These beings were able to communicate through psychic means. But I didn't think that this was related to extraterrestrials. I thought this was simply another one of my paranormal experiences. I thought maybe it was a demonic attempt to get at me. I had no framework to review this experience by other than the Christian one I grew up with.

It was not a good experience. It was very dark. I have been so traumatized by this and have feared talking about it for years. Years passed with no recurrence of this, until this last year at the time I had my sightings. At 19, after this experience I started to question my traditional Lutheran beliefs. I lost several close people in my life at the same time. One of my girlfriends and spiritual mentors was brutally murdered. My questions about God and where he was in all of this really overwhelmed me. At the same time, I noticed that my premonitions and psychic abilities were increasing. I started to explore explanations for this.

At the same time I had never learned how to control the steady streams of visions and sensations I grew up with because my mom has always been afraid to talk about her own experiences. I converted to Catholicism. I studied all kinds of religion and spirituality, native traditions, Wicca, on and on. I discovered that I was able to read tarot as if I had read it before. I paid close attention to my dreams and visions. I wrote them down. Many of them have come to pass.

My grandfather died when I was twenty. Prior to his death I was at school. I remember standing on the staircase and I saw him in a hospital bed. One of my friends asked me what was wrong and I said I have to leave. I got my stuff, got a taxi and took a bus to the hospital two hours away. I walked through that hospital door and my mom almost fainted. How did you know to come here? I told her and she nodded at me with that look of understanding and hugged me. She said she didn't want to burden me away at college. My grandfather died a day later. I have had so many events like this happen since then and really was led into the helping professions as a result.

A few years later, I moved to Los Angeles. I worked with the abused alot of time. One day, an unusual visitor, a man showed up on my doorstep. He said that he had seen my card at a local store for readings, but he didn't want a reading. He simply wanted to tell me something he thought I needed to know at that time. He said, "you are on the right track and more will be shared with you when you need to know it."

I know he talked to me for over an hour, but I only remember the first two minutes, and try as I wanted I could not remember his name. He said he was from Sedona, AZ, weird, very weird. Kind of like your government guy only this guy wasn't in a suit. In some ways he didn't even seem human to me. He didn't seem to have any kind of personality and was very robotic.

It was at this time that Whitley Strieber published Communion with that eerie picture of a gray alien on the cover. I could not even pick the book up. I would walk to a different check out. Finally, I forced myself to confront the fear I felt over this picture and I bought the book. I thought it was a ghost story! Well the topic, was extraterrestrials and as he described his paralysis I noted the similarities to mine, but still, I thought he was a little eccentric. It seemed too weird to me, but at the same time it hit a nerve.

A few years later, I returned to Wisconsin. I met up with an old friend from school. He was on a spiritual quest as well. He was a scientologist. We were watching a show on TV or a video, I am not sure. I think it was called UFO's are real. I now know that it was done by Stanton Friedman. Across the screen flashed the name and date Colfax, WI 1979 I think. It seemed to correspond to the date and time of my night siege of terror. That shook me up. Another coincidence? How many can there be? Following that I had another experience.

I was working as a counselor at a local halfway house when I first moved back here from CA.. I had this dream and in it was a young woman I had been counseling. We were taken in my dream into a craft and they did surgery of some kind on us. The craft landed in the front yard of the facility. I thought, how odd nobody else sees this thing. I remember this Being in white, her eyes, pools of what seemed to be tears, and she was telepathically sending me messages. Many of them had to do with catastrophic earth changes and the same theme, you will know more when you need to know it.

I dismissed it as another weird experience. I went to work the next day. It was lunch. Staff ate lunch with the residents of the facility. As conversation passed this young girl who was a resident and one of my patients at the time said out loud "I had the strangest "dream" last night, a UFO landed in our front yard and took us in it, and operated on us. I almost fainted. Coincidence, hmm, you decide. At the same time I developed a terrible fear of owls, yes owls that has remained with me today.

Brian, the list goes on and on, and now this mark. I don't understand any of it. But I really would like to understand it more.

I haven't decided if this is a good or bad presence we deal with yet, and/or why? I do feel that there is an agenda of some sort kind behind this though. And it has to do with our earth, our future as the human race and our spiritual struggle. I expect that if I paid attention I would see, and probably paid attention I might see a lot of things I ignore. Frankly I am kind of afraid to look outside and stargaze after this last episode and this mark. But I am submitting this because I think we all need to talk about it and perhaps amongst all of us some ideas and truths will emerge.

I tried to put a tape measure to it, but alone I could not do it and I wasn't going to run over and ask my neighbor as you can imagine why. But this mark measured about 1 inch. Take care and God bless.

Thank you to the person for sharing this experience with us all.

UNUSUAL DREAMS

Hi Brian,

I have been compelled to write you after reading some of the abduction stories on your site. The story "Unusual Markings Show Up On Israeli UFO Investigator" struck a chord with me, as well as a few others. A month ago, I had the same type of marks show up on my left elbow. They were almost in the exact same place as shown in the picture of the Israeli UFO Investigator. There were three small raised dots that formed an isosceles triangle.

They lasted for about a month. In the mean time, I've had plenty of mosquito, ant and chigger bites come and go. (I spend a lot of time outdoors.) All but one of the dots has healed, but there are little freckles where the other dots had been. I would probably just brush this off as coincidence if it wasn't for the fact that I've had several abduction dreams over the last few years. One occurred last month around the time these marks appeared.

Let me give you some background on the dreams. These dreams I've had involving aliens are very vivid. Unlike most dreams I have, the normal ones which quickly fade away as the day goes by, I can remember these "alien encounter" dreams as if they were actual real life events. One happened years ago but I can recall it as if it "happened" yesterday. I guess what I am getting at is these dreams don't seem like dreams at all. They are almost more vivid than things that "really" happened a few days ago.

Dream #1 (2 years ago, 6/02)

I was at a beach house with several people. It was dark out, the night was clear. While looking at the waves from a screened porch I saw a golden orb the size of a car fly into my field of view. It came from out in the darkness of the ocean to my left, maybe 500 feet over the water. It came about 100 yards from shore, swooping down about 10 feet above the waves. I remember seeing the golden light reflecting on the water. It took off to my right, back out into the darkness without a sound. I remember thinking how graceful an arc the craft had just taken and how it was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen.

Next, I heard the sound of someone excited/surprised coming from outside. I opened the screen door and stepped down three wooden steps. I saw a friend (not sure who) and a "tall blonde", 5 feet tall, skinny, possibly silver clothes, whitish skin with big black eyes. I felt the need to communicate. I had my hands down by my side, palms facing forward in the least threatening posture, showing my hands were empty. I didn't want them to harm my friend and wanted them to know we were friendly and curious. Next thing I know, I was laying on my back in the grass. I don't know how I went from standing to laying down. I couldn't move but I wasn't scared. I remember the alien looking over me, his face was only about a foot from mine. He looked peaceful and interested. When I awoke, I was amazed. I wasn't scared, it was more like a WOW! feeling, butterflies in my stomach etc... It has been two years and I still remember it like it was yesterday. I just wrote this quickly off the top of my head.

(One thing I've noticed from this and other dreams is that aliens smell very strange. It is hard to put a smell into words, but I'll try... repulsive, acidic, musky, overwhelming. I did not like it at all. It is nothing like I have ever smelled, so it is hard to compare it to something else. Why do I remember smells from a "dream"?)

Dream #2 (6 months ago, 1/04)

I was outside next to my apartment. I looked up in the sky to see a geometric craft, roughly triangular, with the top of the craft having strange "stealth bomber" geometry. The craft was mostly white, maybe a silver underside. The skin of the craft was very detailed. It descended to 10 feet over me. It then proceeded to beam a bright light down onto the top of my head. It got very hot, but not a burning sensation, more electrical. I was starting to panic when something calmed me down and reassured me I would not be harmed. Everything became pure white and I woke up. My alarm had gone off but I slept through it. Very unusual for me. The next day I went outside to the spot were the event happened. I'd never stood in that spot before but the view was exactly what I'd seen in my dream. I got a little freaked.

Dream #3 & #4 (6 months ago, 12/03)

Twice within a few weeks I had choking dreams. The first woke me up in the middle of the night a little panicked. It felt like I'd had something down my throat. After a glass of water I was back in bed and didn't think much of it. A week later I woke up choking. Again I felt like I'd had tubes down my throat. My throat was raw and it was hard to swallow. My heart was beating out of my chest. I was scared to death of something in my apartment, more scared than I can ever remember being. (I'm not the type of person who scares easily.) It took a good 10 minutes to get the courage to get out of bed. I finally went into the bathroom to get some water. I could barely bring myself to turn on the light, in fear that something would be looking over my shoulder. After I got the bathroom light on, I started to calm down, but was still quite shaken. I am not sure what I was so scared of, all I can remember is a quick flash of a weird blank face. (I just got chills when I typed that.)

Dream #5 (last month about the time the mark appeared, 5/04)

Me, my mother and grandmother were on a dock that was on a small lake. It was almost totally dark outside, but clear with stars. I looked up and saw a redish/whitish UFO a few hundred feet above. It was morphing, changing shape but would always return to being a round sphere inside a circular ring. We made some comments about it, like "Is that what I think it is?", etc... Then I noticed two or three creatures coming towards us down the dock. They were three feet tall, almost as wide as they were high, with dark robe-like clothes and dark mask-like faces. They were trying to grab us with stubby fingers. I kicked a few into the lake. They didn't seem to like the water. I felt bad, but they shouldn't scare people like that. Everything else after this is unclear, but we were possibly taken somewhere by these creeps. When I awoke, I had slept through my alarm and was almost late for work.

Dream #6 (last week 6/04)

This one is a little vague, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I had been taken somewhere (a white foggy room?) and many people or beings were teaching me things. They were telling me I was on some kind of mission or assignment. It was important and a little creepy, as if I didn't totally agree with their purpose, but understood that it was necessary. There was something else that was to be revealed to me at a later date. I had many questions, I wanted to know more, but they only told me what they wanted me to know. Like I said, all this is kind of vague. This wasn't nearly as vivid as the other dreams, but I did wake intensely curious as to what I was told. I am frustrated that I can't remember more.

One last thing I'd like to add...

I have seen a UFO outside of my dreams. I was driving my car to work one morning about 9 months ago. I looked up to see a silver orb moving slowly over the top of a thunderhead. It was not a plane, as I saw about five planes that morning. It was silver, oval shaped, and not moving fast enough to be a winged craft. It was about at 15,000 feet and was bigger than a DC-10. It was heading slowly north then changed and headed slowly south. The sighting lasted about 30 seconds before it vanished behind the clouds. Since the sighting didn't last long, I can't say for sure what I had seen, but it wasn't a plane or a balloon.

I don't know if all this amounts to anything or if I just have an over-active imagination. Thanks for listening. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

Thank you to the person for the report.

SHE BELIEVES

She doesn't know why she was chosen or what it means, and she knows it is hard for others to believe. But she believes. The reporter went over her story word by word. He read parts of it back to her incorrectly, hoping to trip her up. But it didn't work. She believes it, or she is a well-rehearsed liar, he told her. She shrugged.

Think what you want, she said, I believe it.

She says she was abducted by an unidentified flying object on 151st Avenue Northeast, just north of Southeast 176th Street, Renton, at about 11:40 p.m., Tuesday, February 10. Her abductor said, "You will see us again."

Her name begins with K, but because she doesn't want to lose her job, we won't use it. We'll call her Kathy. She is a 25-year-old "health professional." She doesn't want her specific profession revealed either, married about two years.

A college graduate with a 3.7 grade point average. She is telling her story because she thinks others have been contacted by extraterrestrials, but are afraid to come forward with their stories.

HERE IS HER STORY

She was driving home from work the night of Feb. 10. She came off the Valley Freeway and started up Petrovitsky Road, passing Valley General Hospital at 11:35 p.m. She drove on, a song by Earth, Wind and Fire came on the radio. About an eighth of a mile west of the intersection of Southeast 176th -- as that stretch of Petrovitsky Road is called -- and 151st Southeast, she approached the crest of a small hill. Just before she reached it a dark-colored sports car with two vertical headlights and a loud engine passed her and roared on ahead through the intersection. She came to the crest of the hill, she saw the UFO.

It was a horizontal ring of red and blue lights, flashing from left to right in an apparent sequence. It was about 75 to 100 feet in diameter and hovered above a grove of trees at the Southeast corner of the intersection.

Curious, she slowed down and drove on for about 30 seconds, looking at the lights. When she reached the intersection, she turned left onto 151st putting the UFO behind her.

DROVE HOME

She drove a short way down 151st, and turned left into the parking lot of her apartment building. She parked her car and looked toward the UFO. It was not there. She then looked to the left and saw another UFO. It was a cluster of red and blue lights, about 25 feet in diameter. It hovered about 100 to 150 feet off the ground, across the street about 200 feet from her car.
She thought, "If this moves or drops, I'm getting out of here."

Then it began to move; dropping in a falling leaf motion to an altitude of about 20 to 50 feet. It stopped and started coming toward her.

Frightened, she got out of the car to head for her front door. She noticed her headlights were still on, got back in the car, closed the door and turned off the lights. And sometime, probably when she got out of the car for the first time, she believes she was abducted.

Consciously, she only remembers that after turning off her headlights, she left her car and ran for her front door 75 feet away. When she reached it, the UFO was gone.

HYPNOSIS SESSIONS

The next day, Kathy contacted the UFO Contact Center to report her experience. They came to interview her February 13 and asked Kathy if she would be interested in undergoing hypnosis, to find out if she had experiences she didn't remember.

In a series of four hypnosis sessions, she revealed that as she sat in the car, it suddenly was filled with a bright, white light. The next thing she knew, she was standing in a dome-like room, about 15 feet wide, with white, very smooth floors, walls and ceilings. An arched doorway was in front of her. A desk-sized white box with "zillions" of colored lights on a dark field was in front of her. A long white table perched on a single pedestal was behind her.

She stood there, "calm, but kind of bewildered," and absently reached to unbutton the collar of her dress. The next thing she knew, the garment was at her feet.

Two beings came through the door. They were about 4 feet 8 inches to 5 feet tall, with thin upper bodies, long, sloping shoulders and arms that hung to about their knees. They seemed unable to straighten their arms completely, she said.

They had four, very long fingers. Their heads were shaped rather like a light bulb and they had large, wide-open eyes. Their noses were very small, just a ridge; they had slits for mouths and small holes with a slight skin flap for ears. Their skin was gray-white and very cool.

ALL IN UNIFORMS

They were dressed from neck to toe in blue-gray metallic fabric. On the upper left chest of their uniforms they had an insignia, an isosceles triangle inside a white circle. They took her by the upper arms and guided her to the table.

"The whole thing seemed to go like clockwork," she said. "I got on the table and they gently pushed me down. I wasn't frightened. I had no real thoughts."

She sensed a third person in the room. He was like the other two, but wore a red-orange uniform with a black stripe around the neckline. He put a silver, mallet-like object to his eye and then placed the other end on her abdomen. He moved it around a bit and then left. He came back a short time later and the three beings stood around the table.

"What is the purpose of this?" she thought. "You are progressing physically and mentally as planned and are very receptive to us," they responded by telepathy. They added that they were pleased with what her father had taught her and then told her she must go.

"I didn't want to," she said, "But they assisted me off the table. I put my dress on; they said, 'You will see us again' and the next thing I knew I was back in my car."

She has no strong opinions about who her abductors were, but thinks they are probably creatures with higher intelligence who traveled to earth from a different galaxy. She found out why she might have been chosen when she called her father after the hypnosis sessions.
"He cried," she said. "He never told me before, but he has had four encounters with the same people."

CREATURE SIGHTINGS - FINAL

Location. London, England
Date: March 13 2004 Time: night

The witness (involved in previous encounters) woke up Saturday night to see a cloaked being standing in the center of his bedroom. It had the same shape as the short fly-head/mantis being (but he could not be certain). He heard a "popping" sound and the being quickly disappeared.

On Sunday night the witness (involved in previous encounters) woke up to see two tall praying mantis type beings standing in the middle of his bedroom. They looked as if they were engaged in a conversation, making high-pitched (almost digital) clicking sounds at each other. The witness was too tired to be afraid so he just concentrated on making a mental description, cross checking it with the ones he'd seen before. Both were extremely thin and tall, well over seven feet high. One was slightly taller than the other. Their necks were long, flexible and tube-like and didn't look strong enough to support their triangular heads. The neck and the head moved in a way that reminded the witness of the old-stop motion monster films or like a lizard. Both were wearing long black robes that again looked like liquid oil. On the side of the face he could clearly see a small round hole just below their eyes. He felt completely drained and couldn't move. He then slipped back into unconsciousness.

Date: March 18 2004 Time: late night

Late at night Gonzalo Rodriguez heard strange noises and a ruckus coming from the henhouse on his property---a commotion that was far from being normal. He decided to send his son to check with a flashlight to make sure thieves weren't at work. The youth obeyed his father and flashlight in hand approached the large henhouse stealthily, becoming terrified upon seeing a strange black animal, standing some 40cm, tall and resembling a small dog with a long tail and standing on two legs. He recalls, among what little he was able to see through the flashlight's beam, that the animal had a very long tongue. Upon seeing the light, the creature fled into the vegetation, skillfully leaping over a wall. An inspection of the henhouse revealed that 20 hens had been slain. Police authorities of the nearby town of San Ramon were notified and officer Marcos Hernandez reported to the scene to corroborate not only Gonzalo Rodriguez's account, but also the testimony of frightened neighbors. The birds were whole and the only sign of damage to them were the two small orifices on their backs, through which it is presumed that the strange assailant drove its fangs to remove or suck the blood. Several days before several dead sheep had been found with the same characteristics; twin puncture marks on their necks or back and not a single drop of blood.

Jason McIntosh and two friends were stopped at the end of a road to watch a light in the sky when one of the girls pointed out some orange lights moving in a field. To their left in a fenced yard they saw an image of two people in white "dancing". About 20 minutes later the car was filled with green glowing lights moving around at high speed. They could feel massive charges of static electricity and one of the girls got out and wanted to see the aliens. She came back to the car saying that she had seen strange little men. At the same time the others felt sensations of a craft flying slowly overhead and felt downdrafts of air. Then they saw a bright white light above the house in the field and occasionally smaller lights shooting into it from the sky. They could also see a group of figures in white standing in front of a house. One of the girls and Jason walked up the path to investigate and they stood 15 ft from them and Jason waved at one and it waved back. Suddenly they had an overwhelming sense of danger and went back to the car. Soon they could see gray colored creatures, 4 ft tall leaning in the passenger window. They then drove to the end of a driveway then drove back to the front. They could see that from where the strangers in white were standing what appeared to be large black charges of electricity were being pushed up towards the white light in the sky. Then a big black fog came in and left. The creatures were gone but the little green lights stayed in the car for 2 or 3 hours afterwards.

In a dream-like state the witness suddenly found himself in a black void, totally conscious. Then 6 round bright lights appeared and illuminated the darkness around him, he could see blinding white light, which did not blind his eyes. He then heard a voice that told him that, "Time has come my child, and I am going to take you home soon." That's all it said then the blackness and the bright light was gone and the witness could now see the creature that had apparently spoke. He could not clearly make out what it looked like but he could see it, he could remember that it was not short and it had bigger eyes, looking almost human. That's all he could remember after the creature looked at him, he felt being sucked backwards at amazing speed, he could see what appeared to be stars whizzing by and huge planets and then he saw what appeared to be the Earth, he went head first through the sky, falling, headed towards his state and then his town and then finally towards his house and then into his bedroom. Upon arriving at his bedroom he heard a "boom" inside his head and he woke up, all in an instant.

CREATURE SIGHTINGS

Location. Manchester, Dearborn County, Indiana
Date: January 24 2004 Time: 1930

A 17-year old motorist traveling almost 10 miles north of Aurora Indiana on Saturday night claims to have encountered an unusual figure on the road. While driving his black Chevrolet Cavalier Southbound along North Hogan Road a "figure" was spotted in the headlights of the automobile as it was crouched down near a puddle of water. From the driver's perspective the figure was spotted out the windshield on the right of the car. After passing the frail-looking figure, the driver looked into his rear view mirror and again observed---illuminated by the taillights of his car---what he described as a tall, abnormal figure that moved strangely with pointed joints that "buckled out". He estimated the figure stood around 6 feet, seven inches. "It had protruding joints and moved very strangely." The driver said he was able to ascertain the figure, alleged to be dark gray or black and "pencil thin" stand up and take several steps toward the woods along the roadside. The figure definitely walked on two legs and was thought somehow, to be a male, although no clothing was noted. No face or eyes could be seen, but the witness had the impression that the figure was looking straight at him. The figure was immediately thought to be something out of the ordinary, not a human being.

The duration of the sighting was "hurried" and possibly within the 3 to 4 second range. The driver continued on for a small distance after passing the figure and finally put on his brakes, coming to a stop at an estimated 2 minute walking distance on the road from the location of the sighting. He looked back to further observe the entity. At that point, a second car came into view and approached from the opposite direction, passed and then reached the spot on the road where the figure was thought to be. The 17-year old motorist reportedly watched closely and observed the second car undertake what he thought to be an evasive maneuver near the vicinity of where he thought the figure would be situated, then the car turned around at that spot and shortly pulled up behind him, somewhat in the grass. There was an elderly couple in the car, both in their late 60s or early 70s and both with gray hair. The driver, who wore glasses said, "Boy, did you see something back there? I'll tell you right now, that was no person." The passenger, an elderly female said, "It was no human being. It was no man." The elderly couple were reportedly "spooked" but offered to follow the first witness the remainder of the trip down North Hogan Road, clearly in the opposite direction of their intended destination route. It was thought that the elderly couple observed this same figure on the opposite side of the road, and possibly had observed it more closely.

Later, the 17-year old witness was said to have become hysterical, and within an hour was describing the figure as an "alien".

In the middle of the night the witness, Jim, (involved in previous encounters) suddenly found himself wide-awake. A loud buzzing sound filled his ears. He was curled up on his bed in a fetal position facing the closest wall. He felt a force push on the back of his head. It did not hurt but felt extremely uncomfortable. Again he heard the now familiar "clicking" sound in his head. This time it panned from his right ear to the left. He looked at his arm and it was covered in a bluish purplish pulsating energy. He could not move his legs and arms; he could just move his head.

Somehow he managed to break free and used all his effort to turn around. Standing before him in the center of the bedroom was some kind of short humanoid creature, with a large mantis/fly looking head. A beam of energy seemed to be shooting from the alien to the witness. Thousands of thoughts entered his head at the same time. Strangely he felt no fear and felt as he had known the strange being all his life, but also felt that he had been somehow manipulated into feeling this. He then heard a slow deep voice, almost overwriting all his other thoughts. It seemed to be communicating telepathically. It said in an abrupt manner, "Now do you understand?" "Yes" the witness found himself answering, but he had no idea why he said that. "Good" It replied. The witness then turned his head back to the wall and shut his eyes. The buzzing sound stopped and he felt extremely tired. He then collapsed and lost consciousness.

He described the creature as humanoid, 5 ft 5 inches in height. Its head was huge in relation to its body. Its eyes were extremely large, shiny, and insect-like and were supported by big sockets. His first impression was that it looked like a cross between a praying mantis and a fly.

The being appeared to be surrounded by a bluish purplish field of energy. In the center of its cloak was a golden badge, there was definitely a design or symbol on it, but the witness could not make it out. He looked closer at the head and it had two protrusions between the eyes and a mass of protrusions was in the area where a mouth would normally be.

The witness woke up the next day feeling very tired.

Virginia and her husband had retired and purchased a home near the Maryland coast, the house was 85 years old and needed some major repairs. Most of the repairs involved an interior facelift. A small room with an old desk and empty file cabinets on the second floor of the two story home was slated to become a part of a larger room next to it with the removal of a wall. Some old suitcases, empty packing crates and other debris had been left in there as well.

With contractor work scheduled to begin within a few days, Virginia, her husband and two friends went to work removing everything from the small room. They moved the desk and file cabinets out first, and then began bundling up the old suitcases and various pieces of debris left in the corners, of the small room. While the four worked, Virginia began to feel a bit sick to her stomach. Her husband and friends complained of similar feelings over the next few moments.

Before any of them had time to consider their sudden, unexplained illness, an odd green mist filled one corner of the room. As all present were focused on the green mist, they could see a human form taking shape. It looked like a man dressed in what all agreed later was a sailor's white uniform. It did not appear to be a modern uniform, but one that might have been worn 50 or 60 years ago. None were familiar with Naval uniforms, but the group came to this conclusion after viewing photos of US sailors from the 40's. Within seconds, the man became solid and started to move a bit.

Virginia's husband had been an electrician for years before he retired and noted that he smelled the odor of over-heated circuitry in conjunction with the sailor's appearing. Before anyone could say or do anything, the sailor looked at the group and said, "2005. Watch out for 2005! They're playing with your future!" (Boy isn't that the truth!) After that, the sailor faded into the wall and the green mist dissipated in less than ten seconds. All agreed later that they had heard his voice and everyone heard the same thing. They described the sailor's voice as deep and full, but sounding a bit muffled.

77-year old Mrs. K J woke up late at night and went to the lavatory and back to her bedroom, as she passed through the kitchen she was surprised to see a strong flame-orange light, which floated in the sky. She quickly realized that it couldn't be the moon. The light had the shape of a hemisphere, the upper part was rounded and its bottom was flat. The light was 2-3 times bigger than the full moon.

The witness states that the light hung above the forest over Hajdowka hill, which was 1.5 km from her house. She watched for about 5 minutes and felt dizzy and then she went to bed.

During the night she had a disturbing "dream" about a strange meeting with a huge shiny "thing". She awoke feeling very frightened around 0630A.

To her left she saw a "thing" running very fast about 30 yards away from her, not comprehending what she was seeing, she could only describe the entity as looking like a "stick man." It seemed to turn its head over his left shoulder and look straight at her, and then it took off in a sprint towards her front door. Very upset the witness ran inside and locked all the doors. It took her 2 hours to calm down; she began to sob so hard that she started to hyperventilate. She never told anyone, including her family about what she had seen. She felt that the "thing" wanted her to see it, for some unknown reason

26-year old Liliana Nievas was sitting in her patio with her boyfriend when suddenly several "cascotazos" (a sort of rock or brick abundant in the area) fell on the two apparently coming from an area behind the patio. Liliana went alone to investigate when she came upon a short dark "man", which began to pummel her and attempted to drag her away. She could only describe the entity as short, dark and shadowy, which covered her mouth and began to drag her on the ground. Hearing her screams, several neighbors, family members, and her boyfriend ran to find the woman lying on the ground suffering facial injuries. She kept screaming that "he is trying to drag me away" as the astounded group watched as a mysterious force indeed seemed to pull her away, however they did not see anybody. Finally with the help of her boyfriend and others they managed to hold Liliana down and the force seemed to release her. She was taken to a local hospital suffering from grievous injuries.

Others in the area reported being pelted by bricks and another witness reported seeing a shadowy entity stealing fruit from his backyard.

Emily Parkinson was lying in bed when a bright white light suddenly was reflected in her mirror. Instantly she sat up terrified and went to the window to see whether it was her husband coming home. She then saw a figure of approximately 6 ft in height standing on her lawn. It seemed to have a huge eye on its stomach (?) resembling huge black circles that seemed to pierce the witness head with an incredibly high-pitched sound. She was fixed to the spot with terror, as the strange creature seemed to slowly dissolve from view.

Several local inhabitants reported hearing a very loud booming noise over the area and what appeared to be a metallic object falling into the beach area. For a while they did not approach the supposed crash site because of fear. However others reported that the object was huge and disc-shaped, apparently metallic, without windows or wings. Soon after the "crash" members of the Mexican Territorial Army cordoned off the area and warned local inhabitants not to approach the area. Others have reported seeing similar disc-shaped craft flying at a high altitude over the area.

Constable Jagdish Parishad who on Thursday was keeping vigil on the international border had seen a flying object like a hot air balloon carrying three persons who disembarked after landing in Pakistani territory.

Since the constable had never seen a para-glider, fan glider or even a hot air balloon during his service tenure, it is difficult to ascertain the authenticity of the matter.

Just prior to the UFO sighting Pakistani troops backed
by helicopter gunships and artillery detained 20 people in raids against suspected Al-Qaeda hideouts in a tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

On a very cold night, the witness, Marina was in her room reading a book when she heard loud scratching noises on her window. Startled she looked at the window and saw a bizarre entity with a very large head and strange red eyes. The entity stared at Marina and mumbled some words, which Marina thought it meant for her to come and open the window because he wanted to talk to her. In a trance-like state she opened the window and the entity then spoke the following words, "Humans less and less value their planet, and each day that goes by they destroy the planet a little more, humans do not realize that they are destroying themselves also." Moments later the entity vanished.

Location. Monte Maiz, Cordoba, Argentina
Date: March 2004 Time: various

A silhouette of a man who walks on rooftops, drags heavy chains and makes strange noises turned into a disquieting "phantom" that has made residents of Monte Maiz restless. Opinions on the "phantom" are diametrically opposed, since some claim having seen "a figure standing over 2 meters tall, dressed in black and with spectacular agility" while others say its all imagination. The local residents call it "the phantom". Those who have seen it say that it is a young person, very tall and slim, with red eye. It dresses in white, sometimes black and others gray. Always wears a hat and covers its face with a mask or hood.

The sounds on the rooftops begin after 2100 hours, as do the calls to the police. Residents claim that it walks on the roof, shuffles and runs, drags chains, scratches at windows and bangs at doors. It doesn't speak or yell---it has only been heard to laugh in the dark or whistle, some claim having heard it imitate the howling of a dog. Locals say that it runs swiftly and jumps over barbed wire fencing and walls without touching them, according to concerned neighbors. Some eyewitness accounts follow:

Ivana Molina had gone out to her yard and saw a man dancing, whistling and slapping his hands. The neighbors heard similar noises. The next day, she went out and the same man tried to grab her. She ran into the house and phoned the police. It then banged on her bathroom window and wrote "mueres" (you'll die) with its finger.

Oscar Gonzalez reported standing in the yard when he saw a shadow walking along. He could see its red eyes. He then went out with another fellow to find it and the "phantom" jumped the neighbor's yard. It was dressed in white. The following day it whistled at the men again. They went out to chase it and it vanished.

Veronica Bertrando reported that her husband saw it as it crossed the patio; he said it was dressed in gray with a hood over its head. When it went by the dog >barked, her husband then went outside and it took off running. He searched for it but could not find it.

Local police offered the following additional details on the stranger (or strangers?), 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall, dresses in black, a white face (possibly a mask) wears a black hat, its movements are generally silent and possesses extreme agility, it jumps over fences, walls and climbs up trees with ease. It normally appears between 2130 to 0300 hours

A sort of "inner voice" told the witness to get his camera and go outside. He waited for about 5 minutes then a bright white light shone on his eyes and then he saw three disc-shaped craft surrounding a large cigar-shaped object maneuvering overhead. The discs kept circling around the cigar. He took three photographs then he was again illuminated by a bright white light and suddenly found himself on his bed the next morning. He suffered from nosebleeds after the incident and had strange lucid "dreams" of seeing a little "black man" who enters his bedroom and tells him that they are taking him. He remembers running and then being shot in the arm by a laser-like light. He woke up the next morning shivering and with his arm sore

Steven Nicklin and a friend were walking across Northicote Farm near an old Tudor farmhouse when both men saw a humanoid grayish figure with a human-type head standing on a tree, which formed part of the many trees that bordered the farm, these were tall pine trees, and the figure stood on the top branches. They estimated the size of the figure as being about 2.1 meters in height. It had two legs and two arms connected to membrane-type wings. Its clawed hands seemed connected to the wings, somehow resembling a pterosaur. It moved its head and looked directly at the witnesses, since the moon was full and there was a streetlight not far away. It turned its head from the witnesses and then took one giant leap and glided to the next tree. The tree bent under the creature's weight as it took the impact. It then turned its head to look at them once more. Its gaze felt that "it could look into their very being (soul)". Both men felt quite scared and both fled the area quickly. The men said that it was a creature they had never seen before nor wanted to see again.

The witness was on his paper route and was driving at about 25-30 mph when he saw a real bright light in the sky about the size of the moon. He pulled up to the side to catch a better glimpse of the object. About 1 minute passed when all of the sudden it disappeared. Then after 10 seconds of dead silence a round bright object landed right in front of the witness. It was circular and glowed very brightly. It was probably about 25 ft in height and about 100 ft in diameter. Stunned the witness heard a voice as if someone was talking to him gently in his ear. He looked around and did not see anybody. All of the sudden the craft didn't glow anymore and on the side of the craft it said, "future". The voice then said, "nobody else can see this but you, we are from the future, you are a representative now of the future for this mass (sic), please lead or there will be dire consequences." The voice talked very slowly and clearly in perfect English. He still couldn't see anybody but after the voice stopped talking he shouted, "who the hell are you"! And then everything disappeared. After about 10 minutes of reflecting on what had occurred, the witness drove home.

44-year old Miss Wiktoria Lesniakiewicz was in her bedroom when she suddenly noticed her cat, which had died several days ago. She followed the animal. The cat walked out of the bedroom through the closed door, but feeling very tired Wiktoria went to sleep. That same night she had a strange "dream" about her cat. She woke up feeling the cat's hot body on her legs. At the same time she sensed and heard strange voices and music. Three separate voices were discussing something, speaking in a strange language. The music resembled classical music, very similar to the Mozart symphonies, but it was definitely not a Mozart composition. Afraid, Wiktoria turned the lamp on. The voices and the music then slowly faded away. She was unable to sleep the rest of the night.

The witness, M N, was driving eastward on Wellington Street on the southeastern end of Lake Superior and as he came to the central part of the city (known to locals of the Lake Superior region as Soo, Canada). He noticed a straight beam of light hovering in the early morning sky, from the top of the hill that was on his northern side. His vehicle came to a complete stop at a cross street and he looked all the way down to the end of the street (about 7 blocks away) because the street ended at the base of the hill and has a metal stairwell leading to McDonald Avenue. Although being 7 blocks away his eyes were able to focus on a little dark figure that was standing very still. This caught his curiosity as he slowly drove towards it, and then started moving from side to side using fluid movements as if it >was hovering in mid-air. It moved as if it was confused, or afraid and didn't know what to do. As he got closer, the figure's appearance seemed to have metamorphosed into a transparent, shadow like entity that very swiftly flew up the stairs. To his astonishment, the beam of light that he had seen in the sky a few minutes before and a couple of miles away was now at the top of the hill, only about 100 ft away. With his heart racing, he drove as fast as he could eastward along the base of the hill until he came to the nearest hill street and drove up McDonald Avenue to see what was happening. In a matter >of seconds, traveling from the bottom to the top of the hill, he arrived at the top of the steps only to find three circle-shaped burn markings on the pavement of the street. Approximately 10 seconds later he heard a very weird kind of gunshot sound, looked up to the sky and saw a bright light shooting up into the stars. As he watched the spectacle a surreal kind of peaceful feeling came upon him and he felt as if every hair on his body as standing on end. The feeling only lasted for what felt like 30 seconds, but when he looked at his watch it was a good 40 minutes later.

The witness was in bed when he was awoken by a sound at his window. He tried to move but couldn't. A shadowy figure shaped somewhat like a human but all black like a shadow loomed over him and grabbed him. He felt that he could not breath and then passed out.

Later he awoke to the words "he has (unintelligible) send him back". It felt like he had an IV in his arm. His next memory was of being back in his bedroom at 0500A. He has no other memories of the event.

26-year old Liliana Nievas was sitting in her patio with her boyfriend when suddenly several "cascotazos" (a sort of rock or brick abundant in the area) fell on the two apparently coming from an area behind the patio. Liliana went alone to investigate when she came upon a short dark "man", which began to pummel her and attempted to drag her away. She could only describe the entity as short, dark and shadowy, which covered her mouth and began to drag her on the ground. Hearing her screams, several neighbors, family members, and her boyfriend ran to find the woman lying on the ground suffering facial injuries. She kept screaming that "he is trying to drag me away" as the astounded group watched as a mysterious force indeed seemed to pull her away, however they did not see anybody. Finally with the help of her boyfriend and others they managed to hold Liliana down and the force seemed to release her. She was taken to a local hospital suffering from grievous injuries.

Others in the area reported being pelted by bricks and another witness reported seeing a shadowy entity stealing fruit from his backyard.

Emily Parkinson was lying in bed when a bright white light suddenly was reflected in her mirror. Instantly she sat up terrified and went to the window to see whether it was her husband coming home. She then saw a figure of approximately 6 ft in height standing on her lawn. It seemed to have a huge eye on its stomach (?) resembling huge black circles that seemed to pierce the witness head with an incredibly high-pitched sound. She was fixed to the spot with terror, as the strange creature seemed to slowly dissolve from view.

Several local inhabitants reported hearing a very loud booming noise over the area and what appeared to be a metallic object falling into the beach area. For a while they did not approach the supposed crash site because of fear. However others reported that the object was huge and disc-shaped, apparently metallic, without windows or wings. Soon after the "crash" members of the Mexican Territorial Army cordoned off the area and warned local inhabitants not to approach the area. Others have reported seeing similar disc-shaped craft flying at a high altitude over the area.

Constable Jagdish Parishad who on Thursday was keeping vigil on the international border had seen a flying object like a hot air balloon carrying three persons who disembarked after landing in Pakistani territory.

Since the constable had never seen a para-glider, fan glider or even a hot air balloon during his service tenure, it is difficult to ascertain the authenticity of the matter.

Just prior to the UFO sighting Pakistani troops backed
by helicopter gunships and artillery detained 20 people in raids against suspected Al-Qaeda hideouts in a tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

On a very cold night, the witness, Marina was in her room reading a book when she heard loud scratching noises on her window. Startled she looked at the window and saw a bizarre entity with a very large head and strange red eyes. The entity stared at Marina and mumbled some words, which Marina thought it meant for her to come and open the window because he wanted to talk to her. In a trance-like state she opened the window and the entity then spoke the following words, "Humans less and less value their planet, and each day that goes by they destroy the planet a little more, humans do not realize that they are destroying themselves also." Moments later the entity vanished.

A silhouette of a man who walks on rooftops, drags heavy chains and makes strange noises turned into a disquieting "phantom" that has made residents of Monte Maiz restless. Opinions on the "phantom" are diametrically opposed, since some claim having seen "a figure standing over 2 meters tall, dressed in black and with spectacular agility" while others say its all imagination. The local residents call it "the phantom". Those who have seen it say that it is a young person, very tall and slim, with red eye. It dresses in white, sometimes black and others gray. Always wears a hat and covers its face with a mask or hood.

The sounds on the rooftops begin after 2100 hours, as do the calls to the police. Residents claim that it walks on the roof, shuffles and runs, drags chains, scratches at windows and bangs at doors. It doesn't speak or yell---it has only been heard to laugh in the dark or whistle, some claim having heard it imitate the howling of a dog. Locals say that it runs swiftly and jumps over barbed wire fencing and walls without touching them, according to concerned neighbors. Some eyewitness accounts follow:

Ivana Molina had gone out to her yard and saw a man dancing, whistling and slapping his hands. The neighbors heard similar noises. The next day, she went out and the same man tried to grab her. She ran into the house and phoned the police. It then banged on her bathroom window and wrote "mueres" (you'll die) with its finger.

Oscar Gonzalez reported standing in the yard when he saw a shadow walking along. He could see its red eyes. He then went out with another fellow to find it and the "phantom" jumped the neighbor's yard. It was dressed in white. The following day it whistled at the men again. They went out to chase it and it vanished.

Veronica Bertrando reported that her husband saw it as it crossed the patio; he said it was dressed in gray with a hood over its head. When it went by the dog >barked, her husband then went outside and it took off running. He searched for it but could not find it.

Local police offered the following additional details on the stranger (or strangers?), 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall, dresses in black, a white face (possibly a mask) wears a black hat, its movements are generally silent and possesses extreme agility, it jumps over fences, walls and climbs up trees with ease. It normally appears between 2130 to 0300 hours

A sort of "inner voice" told the witness to get his camera and go outside. He waited for about 5 minutes then a bright white light shone on his eyes and then he saw three disc-shaped craft surrounding a large cigar-shaped object maneuvering overhead. The discs kept circling around the cigar. He took three photographs then he was again illuminated by a bright white light and suddenly found himself on his bed the next morning. He suffered from nosebleeds after the incident and had strange lucid "dreams" of seeing a little "black man" who enters his bedroom and tells him that they are taking him. He remembers running and then being shot in the arm by a laser-like light. He woke up the next morning shivering and with his arm sore

Steven Nicklin and a friend were walking across Northicote Farm near an old Tudor farmhouse when both men saw a humanoid grayish figure with a human-type head standing on a tree, which formed part of the many trees that bordered the farm, these were tall pine trees, and the figure stood on the top branches. They estimated the size of the figure as being about 2.1 meters in height. It had two legs and two arms connected to membrane-type wings. Its clawed hands seemed connected to the wings, somehow resembling a pterosaur. It moved its head and looked directly at the witnesses, since the moon was full and there was a streetlight not far away. It turned its head from the witnesses and then took one giant leap and glided to the next tree. The tree bent under the creature's weight as it took the impact. It then turned its head to look at them once more. Its gaze felt that "it could look into their very being (soul)". Both men felt quite scared and both fled the area quickly. The men said that it was a creature they had never seen before nor wanted to see again.

The witness was on his paper route and was driving at about 25-30 mph when he saw a real bright light in the sky about the size of the moon. He pulled up to the side to catch a better glimpse of the object. About 1 minute passed when all of the sudden it disappeared. Then after 10 seconds of dead silence a round bright object landed right in front of the witness. It was circular and glowed very brightly. It was probably about 25 ft in height and about 100 ft in diameter. Stunned the witness heard a voice as if someone was talking to him gently in his ear. He looked around and did not see anybody. All of the sudden the craft didn't glow anymore and on the side of the craft it said, "future". The voice then said, "nobody else can see this but you, we are from the future, you are a representative now of the future for this mass (sic), please lead or there will be dire consequences." The voice talked very slowly and clearly in perfect English. He still couldn't see anybody but after the voice stopped talking he shouted, "who the hell are you"! And then everything disappeared. After about 10 minutes of reflecting on what had occurred, the witness drove home.

44-year old Miss Wiktoria Lesniakiewicz was in her bedroom when she suddenly noticed her cat, which had died several days ago. She followed the animal. The cat walked out of the bedroom through the closed door, but feeling very tired Wiktoria went to sleep. That same night she had a strange "dream" about her cat. She woke up feeling the cat's hot body on her legs. At the same time she sensed and heard strange voices and music. Three separate voices were discussing something, speaking in a strange language. The music resembled classical music, very similar to the Mozart symphonies, but it was definitely not a Mozart composition. Afraid, Wiktoria turned the lamp on. The voices and the music then slowly faded away. She was unable to sleep the rest of the night.

The witness, M N, was driving eastward on Wellington Street on the southeastern end of Lake Superior and as he came to the central part of the city (known to locals of the Lake Superior region as Soo, Canada). He noticed a straight beam of light hovering in the early morning sky, from the top of the hill that was on his northern side. His vehicle came to a complete stop at a cross street and he looked all the way down to the end of the street (about 7 blocks away) because the street ended at the base of the hill and has a metal stairwell leading to McDonald Avenue. Although being 7 blocks away his eyes were able to focus on a little dark figure that was standing very still. This caught his curiosity as he slowly drove towards it, and then started moving from side to side using fluid movements as if it >was hovering in mid-air. It moved as if it was confused, or afraid and didn't know what to do. As he got closer, the figure's appearance seemed to have metamorphosed into a transparent, shadow like entity that very swiftly flew up the stairs. To his astonishment, the beam of light that he had seen in the sky a few minutes before and a couple of miles away was now at the top of the hill, only about 100 ft away. With his heart racing, he drove as fast as he could eastward along the base of the hill until he came to the nearest hill street and drove up McDonald Avenue to see what was happening. In a matter >of seconds, traveling from the bottom to the top of the hill, he arrived at the top of the steps only to find three circle-shaped burn markings on the pavement of the street. Approximately 10 seconds later he heard a very weird kind of gunshot sound, looked up to the sky and saw a bright light shooting up into the stars. As he watched the spectacle a surreal kind of peaceful feeling came upon him and he felt as if every hair on his body as standing on end. The feeling only lasted for what felt like 30 seconds, but when he looked at his watch it was a good 40 minutes later.
