Two 12-year old boys, Peter & Steven, had silently sneaked out of their homes as their parents slept, & had gone to a nearby storage yard to play for awhile. Soon they headed home taking a short cut through a large equipment yard, sliding underneath the chain link fence. Halfway through the lot they noticed a very large shiny white box on the ground. As they passed it hey heard a "thump" like noise. Right after that came a "popping" sound.

They moved on to see a series of lights, red, blue, green reflecting from some nearby equipment. Unable to determine their source they crossed the yard, at this point reaching a dark area of the property. They then heard a lengthy high-pitched modulating screech that made their hair stand up. Whirling around they saw, three small "pink figures" walking rapidly between some items of equipment, quickly becoming lost from view.

The being had no sign of a buttocks cleavage, nor visible evidence of knee joints or fingers. During the whole encounter it was very warm. At this point a maroon van suddenly roared around the corner and came to a skidding halt near the boys. Its headlights illuminated the boys & its bald headed driver remained inside the van. Very frightened at this point the boys ran out of the property vaulting over the chain link fence. They felt extremely thirsty upon arriving home.

Four days after encountering a UFO William Shearer had come home from work, and was trying to get some sleep, his wife and daughter had stepped out. He came downstairs for a drink, and thought he heard a faint knock on the door. As Shearer approached the door he could see the outline of a tall man through the glass. Shearer opened the door and was faced with a strange sight. The man was around 6'4", and dressed in a dark gray suit and full-length coat.

He wore a brilliant white shirt and a red tie, and was holding a brimmed hat. Another similarly dressed man was standing behind Shearer's wife car, and appeared to be looking up and down the road, as if to see if anyone was coming. The tall man said, "Can I speak to you please?" His voice was very deep, and seemed to be coming from his chest rather than his mouth. At this stage the man's gaze was lowered to the floor so Shearer could not see his face. Thinking they were Jehovah's Witnesses, Shearer replied, "No, I am not dressed".

The man persisted, and asked again to speak to Shearer who again declined and asked him to come back later. When the man lifted his head and looked straight at Shearer his first impression was that the man was very ill, as he looked deathly pale. In contrast his lips seemed to tinged red, as if he were wearing lipstick. The stranger insisted in coming in, but Shearer held his ground. The two strangers kept looking at each other, either nodding or gesturing in some way. The men then walked towards their car, which was black and according to Shearer it looked like something straight out of a gangster movie, yet it looked brand new. Shearer noticed that the men walked awkwardly and appeared to have no facial hair. He also received a later visit.

Disbelievingly she stared into the gloom of her bedroom at a small hunched figure, about 3 ft tall that stood by her bed. The witness was terrified and could not move. As she continued to stare at the creature it moved suddenly emitting a strong smell of "burnt cardboard or paper." It leant over her and as it did so the witness hear telepathically in her head mechanical sounding words "Gran says do it in the morning."

With that the small entity vanished, leaving a heavy odor of burnt paper in the room, and Angie discovered she could move normally again. After having slept like a log for several hours, she woke refreshed, recalling the strange event with great clarity. She was in no doubt about the meaning of those cryptic words. Her much beloved grandmother had died just two weeks previously, and Angie's grief had prevented her from applying from her "dream job", as nanny for a family in Edinburgh.

The humanoid was about 1.30 meters in height with an oval shaped head lacking a mouth, nose or ears. It had two large black oval shaped eyes covered with some form of retina similar to cobweb. Riccardo approached the humanoid and touched its skin.

Its arms were disproportionately long as compared to the rest of the body and its hands were dark gray in color with three long pointy digits that ended in pink colored tips. Its feet were identical to the hands. The humanoid lacked elbows or knees and no sexual organs were apparent. It slowly approached Riccardo touching his forehead with one of its hands.

Geraldine McNeill was out walking her dog on the sloping ground above Lornshill Academy on the outskirts of the city when her black Labrador started whining with fear and stopped. The dog simply refused to go any further. Looking around Geraldine spotted a strong beam of light shining through a row of trees directly ahead of her. It seemed to be pulsating "on a regular rhythm" and at the same time changing color from pale cream through to yellow to deep yellow, and back to cream again. Ms McNeill estimated that the light beam was about 30 ft across. Clearly, a large object must be at the source of the glow.

Baffled and concerned, Geraldine decided to call the police and walked over to a nearby phone box. A couple of police officers arrived shortly and Mrs McNeill suggested meeting, at the back of the Academy so they could get the best view of the strange light. However by the time they met up the pulsating light had disappeared and all that could be seen was a pinpoint of light to the right of the original. The two police officers went to investigate as Geraldine watched anxiously.

She saw them reach the spot where the light source had been situated and then walk about waving their torches in every direction. After a few minutes they gave up the search and returned down the slope. It was at this point that Ms McNeill noticed a very strange occurrence. At the spot at the top of the slope where the police had been standing seconds before were two odd figures, walking methodically backwards and forwards.

When the police officers came back to McNeill they told her that it had only been a burning long, but that they would arrange for a firefighter to arrive. As they spoke the two figures were still clearly visible at the edge of the trees. She pointed out the figures to the two officers. The two young officers seemed taken aback by this and quickly departed, stating that they would have to write up their report. (!) Apparently the two officers had not seen the strange figures.

After dropping of his girlfriend at her house, Juan Sudarsky was walking home alone. Suddenly he felt very cold. He then saw a purple light drop from the sky, at the same time hearing a loud high-pitched screeching sound, he also felt dizzy. He fell to his knees sweating profusely. Then an orange beam of light suddenly appeared next to him.

Several bizarre medium sized creatures then appeared out of the beam. They were described as having only one eye and with large antennae that radiated an odd blue light. They had a strange orifice where their mouth should have been. The creatures emitted intermittent screeches of varying frequencies. The witness apparently understood them in his mind. The creatures then formed a circle around Sudarsky. One of them approached and touched his forehead.

He then heard a mental message in perfect Spanish, telling him to guard the planet against pollution, that theirs was almost totally ruined, that there were only 50 of them left. Soon they flew back into the purple light via the orange beam of light. Before leaving, their leader showed Sudarsky a strange communicating device.

On a property outside of Portland, two children (11 & 9) saw a large ball of silver blue light hovering about a meter above a paddock about 30 meters away from the house. The grass beneath the object was "moving and swirling." The children saw details on the object including something like a "door" and possible appendages. Their mother verified the presence of the object, but she seemed "mesmerized" and kept talking on the phone with a friend, with the children still outside.

After 30 minutes the phone cut out. She loaded a gun and went outside, walked around the house to ensure there were no intruders, virtually ignoring the UFO, which was still present. She felt inexplicably tired and just walked passed the children back into the house and lay down and seemingly "blacked out." She apparently woke up around midnight, showered and went to be, "as if she were in a trance," without checking on the kids.

She woke up in the morning feeling terrified, and found both of the children sleeping peacefully in their beds. She went outside and verified at the spot where the object had been hovering "a strange 12 ft diameter of swirled grass. It was discolored, a strange purple color with brown areas which appeared to be burned or affected by intense heat." During the next few months there was unusual activity of "unmarked helicopters" in the area.

The children began to recollect further details. One of them had 3 strange red spots on a foot. The girl had an unusual "scar" on the back of the neck that could not be accounted for. She also saw a strange "person" outside her window. Under hypnotic regression an apparent abduction milieu was developed, particularly involving the children. No details on that.

At an isolated ranch in Northeastern Utah barking dogs alerted a team of investigators to something lurking in a tree near the ranch house. Tom Gorman grabbed a hunting rifle and took off in his truck toward the tree. Two NIDS staffers followed in another vehicle. Up in the tree branches, they could make out a huge set of yellowish, reptilian eyes. The head of this "animal" had to be three feet wide, they guessed. At the bottom of the tree there was something else. Gorman described it as huge and hairy, with massively muscled front legs and a dog-like head.

Gorman who is a crack shot, fired at both figures from a distance of 40 yards. The creature on the ground seemed to vanish. The thing in the tree apparently fell to the ground because Gorman heard it as it landed heavily in the patches of snow below. All three men ran through the pasture and scrub brush, chasing what they thought was a wounded animal, but they never found the animal and saw no blood either. A professional tracker failed to locate anything.

At the bottom of the tree, they found and photographed a weird footprint, or rather, a claw print. The print left in the snow was from something large. It had three digits with what they guessed were sharp claws on the end. After analysis, and incredibly, the print closely resembled that of a velociraptor, an extinct dinosaur made famous in the Jurassic Park films.

Giovanni Domenico and his son observed a strange flying figure of humanoid form approaching from a nearby mountain at about 10-12 meters from the ground. They observed the figure for about 10 minutes. They describe it as small and ungainly in appearance, about 1.20 meters in height and was flying at a low rate of speed. It had a large hairless head, disproportional to the rest of its body, which was dark gray in color. Its eyes were large and green in color and the nose was small and a little bit protruding.

Its body was thin and delicate and appeared to be wearing a form fitting dark blue suit. The humanoid seemed to be scanning the fields by turning its head slowly to the right and left. The witness noticed something suspended just above the humanoid's head that rotated like the rotor blades of a helicopter. The strange humanoid disappeared into the distance and was probably seen by other witnesses in the area.

Two sisters were walking near route AO 12 facing a silo factory, when they were startled by the appearance of a diminutive creature, entirely covered in hair and with shiny eyes. The younger of the sisters felt compelled to go towards the entity as if something were overcoming her will. Her older sister shouted at her and seized her arm to keep her from going any closer. The two sisters said that the creature made no hostile gestures upon seeing them, aside from the strange power of attracting one of them.

At a given moment the creature made a surprising jump and landed on the other side of the road (over 12 meters), losing itself in the soybean fields. The younger sister suffered a nervous breakdown and was sent to a local hospital. Days later another witness, was in her country home late at night when she felt a strange compulsion to open the door and go outside.

The dead cow had been mutilated by Satanists, he thought, as the eyes were cut out, there were fang marks on the neck, and it was drained of blood. There were no footprints visible in the damp ground. That same night he went looking for his missing cow.

The vehicle had two powerful search lights that illuminated a creature only 25-30 ft away…it turned and hissed at him, and he noticed that it had reptilian looking eyes, like a snake, only they didn't reflect the light, like humans. Badly shaken, he said the small gargoyle like green creature was only about four feet high, and had wings on its back, which it didn't unfurl. After about 15 seconds or so, it ran rapidly into the trees.

The witness was in his RV camping when his dog, a German shepherd wanted out that night, and shortly after he heard a single "yelp" from the dog. He took his light, one of those million candlepower jobs, and went out, flooding the area with light. He saw a strange creature, with eyes that glowed green in and out of the light. It was almost yellow, three feet tall, about 100 pounds, bipedal, five 2-½ foot spines on its back and it was sucking blood out of the dog.

It looked at him, then let out a screech, and ran off when the witness yelled at it, concerned about his pet. The dog's neck was broken, twisted to the back, and had two fang marks, and appeared to be drained of blood. He heard another scream from the distance, and hurriedly put the dogs body in his small RV bathtub, and put ice on it, and got out of there, heading to a local vet. The vet said he knew of no animal that would do that, confirming that the shepherd had been drained of blood, but admitted he had heard of other cases that were similar.

A man and his wife were at the Redmond lava caves near the airport when they heard a howl out of one of the caves during the early evening. Suddenly an immense creature came from one of the caves only 50-60 ft from them.

It just walked out of the cave, and then walked quickly away, apparently not noticing the couple. It left 22-inch tracks in the sand, and was really ugly, they said. The 8 ft creature was sandy colored with a peaked head, very broad shoulders, and no hair on the face, hands or feet.

In a hilly area east of Florence a local merchant watched a tall human-like figure suddenly descend slowly from the sky onto a nearby field. The figure was about 1.60 meters in height, human like and totally covered in a black tight-fitting diver's suit. It wore a red belt around its waist and a black helmet with wide dark goggles. It landed on a vertical position on the high grass. A few minutes later it rose up, again slowly and vertically and disappeared from sight. Others in the area saw bright red lights flying in a zigzag fashion over the area.

Local Ufologist John Tosti & two other men saw several bright objects hovering over a local power plant. Tosti decided to drive to isolated Snoddy Road and attempted to signal the objects by using a flashlight. Two of the objects descended to his position. As one object approached his vehicle, the engine and electrical system sputtered. Tosti was able to make out a disc-shaped metallic object, with a round small dome and even a smaller dome on top. A blue glow emanated from the bottom of the craft.

Around the middle of the craft was a row of square window, showing a yellow to amber ambient light within. Inside the craft he saw the silhouettes of several individuals with large heads. He attempted to communicate by waving his arms, but was apparently ignored. Two smaller bright spherical objects emerged from the disc, which then shot up at very high speed, joining the other objects in the sky. The objects then left the area.

Miguel Calderon was driving in his Jeep in an isolated road when about 100 feet away, he saw two child like figures wearing silvery clothing standing in the middle of the roadway. The figures were about 3-feet tall, and the silvery outfits were tight fitting, ending in turtlenecks. Their skin was pale-yellow in color and both had large black slanted eyes.

One of the figures lifted its right hand and the Jeep suddenly stalled, and its lights dimmed. The stunned witness watched as the short being lowered its hand and both then suddenly lifted up into the sky without any apparent means of propulsion and disappeared into the darkness. At this point the witness was able to re-start its Jeep. The witness also noticed that the beings wore silvery gloves.

During a dance at a local club, security guard Rogerio Lascoski noticed a figure that suddenly appeared in the dance floor (no one saw the stranger come in). The figure moved in bizarre synchronized movements in the middle of the dance floor. It was described as very a very thin humanoid and appeared to be dragging its feet when it moved. As Rogerio approached the figure he noticed that it wore a beige colored outfit that seemed to wrap around its body.

It resembled a very dark woman, about 1.5 meters in height, large dark eyes, with no whites and a small nose. Thinking that it was some type of vagrant Rogerio threatened to call the police but the stranger ignored him. The visitor then walked out followed by the witness that heard a phrase in his mind to the effect of "I come from God." The figure then walked to a nearby curve at the end of the street and was joined by two more similar figures.

They stood one on each side of the first one then walked into the darkness again using strange synchronized movements. At the club, a lot of those present expressed their concern and disbelief as to the strange visitor. Incredibly some of those present did not see the figure at all.

Phillip H Krapf awoke in the middle of the night and found himself encased in a luminous shaft of light, then involuntarily beamed aboard an alien spacecraft. Within a matter of seconds, he was standing before the strangest creatures he had ever seen, though not so different from depictions of alien beings that others have given. They were just over five feet tall, with dark, narrow eyes, nearly imperceptible noses, no visible body hair, and skin tones from grayish white to slightly tan.

They were wearing satiny robes of varying muted colors. They spoke to Krapf in English even though their thin lips didn't move. During the whole experience the witness felt at peace and fully alert. These aliens called themselves "The Verdants", and claimed they come from a planet some 14 million light-years from Earth (the name of their planet apparently translates into "Verdant" in English, which the witness interpreted to mean something akin to "garden planet). They said that they had been recruiting hundreds of humans to serve as liaisons for an impending summit conference between representatives of the two species.

Krapf spent most of his waking hours on the ship being briefed by the Verdants in orientation sessions. During his stay, he had a personal tour guide and attendant who went by the name of Gina. The other key figure among the Verdants with whom he had contact was using the name "Gus". These names were adopted for his benefit because he was incapable of addressing them by their real names in their native tongue. He learned in the orientation sessions that the Verdants have been space explorers for millions of years.

Apparently they belonged to a handful of other advanced species to form the Intergalactic Federation of Sovereign Planets. Currently the group has a total of 27,000 species or members in their files. The Verdants also said that they had colonized a great number of formerly uninhabited planets making them more habitable or more hospitable.

They had dark black eyes, no whites. The witness became scared and drove off. No one else appeared to be around.

Nathalie, a young French woman, was sitting in her car with a companion when both saw in the sky an object that resembled a wheel "without its rim," it was made of 12 projecting lights revolving counter clockwise. The observation lasted almost 2 hours, and after that they both went to sleep. They seemed to be unable to move during the sighting. Later, under hypnotic regression, Nathalie remembered being lifted through a conical light beam and into a hovering craft. Aboard she was submitted to various medical tests, and apparently implanted.

She saw another woman also subjected to the same treatment. She described her abductors as being "very tall", about 2 meters in height, assisted by a smaller "woman", some of them looked like humans, some not. In another room, she saw 4 beings sitting on chairs in front of glass panels. Some of the beings were courteous, and others looked rather irritated at her, for whatever reason. The beings appeared to be well built, with huge strong shoulders.

Their heads were larger than humans and oval in shape, with large black slit like eyes. A very curious detail (never before or after reported!) was that they had what appeared to be a plume of hair, tight up like a ponytail, that suck straight up from the top of their baldheads. They wore tight fitting two piece gray colored outfits with belts. In the room she saw windows in front of a corridor, the floor was luminous, apparently made out of glass. She also saw a lozenge shaped table, black in color in the middle of the room.

It was reported that police, military personnel, and American scientists had captured a strange creature using fishing net. The creature was placed in a metal cage, but attempted to escape by moving rapidly back & forth inside of it. It was shot at with several tranquilizer bullets without any apparent effect. A police sniper then shot the creature dead. The scientists present placed the creature in a special box, which was sealed hermetically; it was later placed in a refrigerated truck, which then drove on the nearby city of Londrina.

The creature was described as bipedal, about 1.70 meters in height, large protruding reddish eyes. It had pointed ears, which slanted upwards, a flat nose, a small mouth with two protruding canines or fangs.

The witness and his cousin were out in a hunting expedition and were sitting on the side of a wall of a rather large hollow which consisted of very thick underbrush and lots of evergreen and a larger valley leading to first, a clearing and then on to some ancient Indian graveyards. All of the sudden they heard the brush in the hollow bellow them rattling and they could tell that whatever was making the sounds was rather large. The main witness was armed with a Ruger 10-22 rifle with approximately 150 rounds of ammo ready to go.

Under his night vision scope he could see what appeared to be a man, but upon further inspection he realized that the "man" was a creature about 7-8 ft tall approximately 450 lbs. It was covered with thick black fur. It was slimmer that the popular Bigfoot image, almost skinny. And it had a neck. Also protruding on either side of its head were long tapered "horns" also black in color. On the top of the head also protruded a horn pointing straight up. All horns were approximately 5-6 inch in length and were the same dark color as the creature. The terrified witness emptied a 25 round clip into the creature and then retreated into a nearby cabin about 65 ft away.

The next morning they could not find anything except for lots of spent shell casings and bullet holes on a walnut tree. He thought he had struck the creature several times. Nearby animals traps had been sprung and all the bait extracted. On a nearby ridge the witnesses located a series of tunnels made up of brush and various sizes of tree limbs, vines and leaves. They thought it could have been "the lair of the beast." Afraid they returned home.

It had large dark eyes and rounded ears extended above the head. It had long arms and a short tail. It was emitting a gurgling sound. The creature appeared to have hair or fur all over its body.

It looked at the witness for a few seconds then headed towards a tent on the southern part of the pond. It kind of "skipped" when it moved and appeared to walk on his hind legs while using the "knuckles" on its front arms on the ground. When it reached the tent it again looked at the witness, at this time the dogs starting chasing after it, but the witness called them back. The creature was last seen moving along a barbwire fence.
