2002 Humanoid Reports. It appears to be a slow start for this year with only one recorded case, again from Chile. We will see what develops later on the year. 2001 was pretty busy but it was a decline from 2000. Maybe we will see another down trend again, later to pick up again in the near future. This seems to be the ever-ongoing trend of the phenomena. Will it always stay the same? Time will tell. Following is a list of known 2002 humanoid cases.

Two young teenagers, Jean F and Nelson C, where at home at night when Jean noticed that his pet snake had escaped from its cage. Both boys began looking for it outside among the rubble of the parcel. They recalled how half an hour before, their two dogs strangely began to howl and cry; however, it did not seem to be important at that point in time. They searched for the pet snake together when suddenly, about 30 meters from where they stood; they saw what appeared to be a stray dog.

They threw rocks at to avoid an attack. However, to their surprise, the animal stood there, motionless and fearless; it did not get scared nor it ran away as ordinary dogs normally do. Shortly, the strange animal began to move towards them. The movements it made as it walked were very strange. It used two legs at a time. It made very small sand short leaps like a rabbit. Suddenly, it stopped and it stood up on two legs. The teenagers then began to feel some kind of energy. "It was like an electrical shock in the stomach," they said. It later walked again making a loud dragging noise, making small leaps and only moving one of its legs.

They noticed the weird shape of the animal. "It was like a rugby football with legs," one of them said. Jean began to feel frightened and started to move away from animal. On the other hand, Nelson felt a strange need to get closer to the creature; he got to within 2 meters away from it. The creature appear to emit a strange luminosity that apparently, was bright enough to lit a small area around the creature in spite of the nighttime darkness. Nelson was mesmerized as he stared at the strange creature.

He described it as having a head like a large dog with a flat nose like a bulldog. Its eyes were slanted and pale-red in color, which could only be seen when the creature turned its head from side to side like a lizard. At that moment, Nelson heard a voice in his head saying, "Don't stare, and just run away." They provided further description, describing the ears as flat, round and large. Its arms were short, it had elbows, and the hands had three fingers. It had hair like the one on a wild pig. Its legs were like the ones of a goat.

The feet had also three fingers and a membrane like ducks, but somewhat shorter. On its curved back, they were able to notice a spinal section covered with amounts of even thicker hair. Most of the hair of the animal was gray, but the tail had a white tip. Nelson finally fled, terrified, from the area. He also described how he felt an inexplicable bone-chilling cold sensation.

The witness was alone at home and was preparing his breakfast when suddenly he heard a window break; he went to see what had happened. Grabbing a golf club he peeked inside the room where the window broke. He was stunned to see a strange creature climbing on his bed. It appeared to be hurt, because it seemed that it could not move well.

Gripping the golf club he went a step nearer and the creature hissed horribly. It shrieked in an unworldly manner. Terrified the witness did not move. The creature was small, about the size of a large rabbit, and it was dark in color and had reddish eyes. It had wings and a spine of quills on its back, and had a semi reptilian face. It appeared to have hair and small legs.

Several friends were taking a trip to the coast and it was already very dark. They had already entered a tropical forest area and there was a mist rolling along the ground. As they turned around they saw something squatting in the middle of the road. It stared at them, and just as they thought they were going to hit it, it leaped off the road and into the trees. It leaped about 10 meters in the air. The creature was definitely human looking although it wore strange clothes.

It was dressed in a green robe of some kind with little pieces of gold on it, and it was either wearing a head crest or it had a row of spikes running from its forehead to the top of its neck. Very frightened the witnesses drove out of the forest and at the same time the mist turned to a thick fog. They pulled over and decided to wait until the fog had cleared, although none of them were too happy about it. As they sat around and waited they suddenly heard a shriek. It sounded like some sort of wild animal and they turned the car on so the headlights would scare it away.

The headlights revealed the same creature they had seen earlier. It hid its face from the light and shrieked. Right before the witnesses' eyes, the creature seemed to evaporate into the fog. Within five minutes the fog had gone and the normal rolling mist was back. The witnesses quickly left the area and drove towards the coast.

But the noises kept getting louder and louder and she decided to go outside to investigate. Once outside she was stunned to see some type creature that had somehow entered the rabbit cage and was attacking the animals that were making loud unearthly screams.

Thinking at first that it was one of the dogs she approached the case but realized that it was a gray colored hairy hunched over creature, that was moving quickly inside the cage. She stepped back and could not understand how the creature had entered the cage, since there wasn't any apparent hole or aperture visible anywhere and the door was firmly closed. Afraid she ran inside her home and notified her son, both then ran out but the creature had mysteriously disappeared.

Unnerved, they could not understand how they creature had escaped since the door to the rabbit caged was still firmly locked. Later they could only find a small round hole in the wire only several centimeters in width, not large enough for a creature estimated to have been about 70 to 80 cm in height. Several of the rabbits were found injured and one was dead.

A pharmaceutical products salesman was returning along a deserted road when he noticed ahead in the distance and in the middle of the roadway an object resembling a shiny pear that was resting on three metallic legs. Somewhat perplexed he approached and noticed two individuals standing on a nearby field. These were over 2 meters in height, wore tight fitting white coveralls and helmets resembling that of the early astronauts. He parked his vehicle and approached the two strange figures on foot.

One of the men walked away and entered the shiny pear-shaped craft while the other remained behind. Knowing that these men were "not from this earth" he still asked the remaining humanoid if he needed any assistance. He felt that as he approached the strange pair he had been in some type of a trance and seemed to have floated over the road. The humanoid answered and appeared genuinely happy as to his offer of assistance but said that everything was in order.

He also added that the area was very beautiful and also added: "Humans don't know what they have. Where we come from we don't have such beautiful scenes, they disappeared a long time ago." The astounded witness managed to ask the humanoid where he was from and was told that they hailed from another dimension, a concept that humans have not yet assimilated. The humanoid smiled as he answered the question. The humanoid then bid goodbye and walked towards the nearby shiny pear shaped object, he then disappeared inside of it.

The craft then emitted a loud whistling sound and disappeared at very high speed towards some nearby cliffs. The witness described the humanoids as about 2.50 meters in height, wide chests and heavy set, thin legs. Generally human features, but somewhat "refined" or sharpened features. The suits were very tight fitting made of an apparent synthetic material resembling plastic. Their eyes were very light almost white and their speech was hesitant & accented. Also their movements seemed kind of clumsy.

The witness was awakened during the night with a sense of some presence in the room. Looking toward the door, he saw, fading quickly, something, which almost had the appearance of a hologram. Next, shadows appeared outside the windows in an erratic shape. At first he thought the shadows to be from trees moving in a strong wind. The appearance was of a storm blowing the limbs to create these shadows outside the window. However, there was no storm.

He looked at the adjacent window on the side of the house facing opposite and there was no wind at all. In fact there was no trees positioned in such a way to cast a shadow. He opened the blinds to see what might be causing the shadows. He then saw what seemed to be a hologram with the shape of two small eyes moving erratically outside the window. Frightened he closed the blinds.

Two weeks later he was awakened by a humming sound and again saw the erratic shadows outside the window. He watched the shadows for 10-15 minutes and then called the police. The police found no signs of any intrusion in the yard. When the police left the witness walked toward the door facing the back porch and saw a large burst of bluish white light. It looked unnatural, almost like a laser. He has not seen the "shadows" again.

The primary witness had stepped out on his back porch when his attention was drawn to two huge black "birds" which were approaching from the north. His first impression was they were Herons, but soon realized that the color was wrong, and "they were huge, much larger than any bird I have ever seen." The two huge birds landed at the top of a very tall coniferous tree.

The witness stated that the wingspan appeared to be wider than the branches, jest below where they had landed. The body size was estimated to be about six feet from head to tail. The oddest feature was the shape of the wings, which according to the witness appeared to be bat-like. The tree where the "birds" landed seemed as though it would break from their weight.

The witness yelled for others in the house to come outside to look. Another family member was able to see the huge black birds as they passed overhead, and headed for some woods. After checking the size of the branches where the birds had landed, the witness estimated that the wingspan would have been close to 12 feet or somewhat larger.

Pedro and Estela Moine had decided to visit the business district of town called Barrio Norte and crossed the old railroad yard through a pedestrian pathway that ran through a pasture area between some silos, old railroad depots and abandoned wreckage. As the couple moved through the premises they suddenly became aware of a strange and incomprehensible conversation between many voices.

Startled, they stopped walking moved a few meters more and then heard the voices again which now sounded like strange "O" sounds. Pedro looked toward the silos and was able to see resembling humanoid but lacking upper and lower extremities. Despite the pleas of his wife, Pedro ran several meters toward an inner alley in the silo plant, being able to make out some 45 meters to the west and in profile---the entity, which acting surprised, avoided the encounter and moved again to the north.

However, what filled the witnesses with wonderment was that the creature did so as though flying or floating without touching the facilities it passed. Pedro and Estela ran after it. It was thus that the man managed to see the entity apparently hiding behind the control room of the truck scale. Pedro ran toward it and was again startled to see the apparition rising as a plane taking off, flying at an altitude of 5 meters and disappearing behind a large metal shed. Bewildered, both witnesses called out, but were unable to see anything else. Pedro Moine as "a thing with human shape" described the apparition.

It had some sort of light, although he could not say if reflected or self-generated, although he tends to believe the latter, since it was a nebulous whitish light, which kept him from making out details. The entire mass of the apparition appeared to be a body covered from head to toe in some sort of mantle, which he described as though it wore a hat, but covered with some kind of long raincoat reaching down to what he took to be its feet. He added that the "conversational sounds" repeated themselves in three separate occasions at various intensities. They were like conversations in a strange language.

Police officer Guillermo Arias was on routine patrol through a rural area when he heard over the radio that his colleagues in arms over at Achiras were seeing lights in sectors of said community, and that they were heading towards Chajan along National Route 8. At the wheel of the police patrol van, he managed to see a formation of 7 lights in the distance and decided to drive 10 km along a rural dirt road.

When he had covered said distance, he noticed, not without surprise, that the engine of his vehicle sputtered and died, causing the police car to strike the edge of a guardrail. Simultaneously, the lights on the van's dashboard began turning on and off randomly, the police radio went haywire and its dial displayed the random shifting of the frequencies while the cabin became filled with an acrid odor, as though of burnt wiring, and the interior lights and stop indicator, which were broken, began lighting on and off. Seized by fear, Arias leaped from the van and walked away a few meters down the road, losing his cellular phone in the escape.

The darkness was total, when suddenly, amid the confusing situation; an immense light emerged from a field adjacent to the road as a triangular object rose majestically into the air. Now Arias condition went from fear to abject terror as he saw what he described as a real "floating city" some 200 meters long with a long row of windows (perhaps as many as 100). Arias claims having seen something move behind them, describing the movement as "TV sets which make lines and shadows", which he defined as "non-human", and that many beams of light came out of the giant triangle, aimed at the ground.

The event lasted 2-3 seconds, but to Arias it felt like an eternity. The object suddenly rose and sped away, vanishing behind the hills of a local field. As the object moved away, the whole area was lit up like daytime and there was an afterglow that lasted another 20 minutes.

Three girls had decided to visit the rooftop as they did the prior evening watching for satellites. It was dusk and the girls had a good vantage point looking towards the east. With them they had a pair of binoculars and a pair of walkie-talkies. The girls noticed that a large orange light appeared approximately 15 degrees above the eastern horizon. The anomaly was noted to have fluctuated in colors of orange, yellow, white and pale blue.

At fist they thought of an arriving airplane, but then a second light appeared approximately 50 degrees south of the first anomaly, and about 10 degrees above the horizon. This much smaller anomaly began to perform some unusually maneuvering; from a stationary position it accelerated at least 5 degrees closer to the ground surface at an approximate 45-60 degree angle within a matter of a single second. The first anomaly then began to move slowly towards the north. At this stage they partially lost view of it as it moved behind a tree.

Then a third anomaly appeared in a valley-like region of the horizon. According to the witnesses, this third object appeared to have "landed" on the ground surface. The object was then viewed through the binoculars and presented in great detail; the object was described as a gray saucer with interchanging colors of green, red/orange, blue/purple and white rotating around the rim. Thy also noted the trees being slightly illuminated by this extraordinary phenomenon.

They were suddenly distracted by someone on their walkie-talkie saying, "Identify yourself." This was followed by some unusual voices communicating in a foreign language. Around 1830 the girls were then called down to have dinner. At about 2030 the girls re-established their places on the roof after dinner. To their surprise, the third ground-based object was still present.

Unexpectedly a yellow beam of light ascended a few meters above the object and suddenly deviated its course towards the three girls. "It was like an orange, yellowy bright light shining on us from far away." The light shone on them for a period of about half a minute. At this point, it is not clear how one of the girls ended up on the ground. She became extremely hysterical and ran inside. The other two girls quickly followed her. That evening all three girls had stomach pains. One of them could not sleep and did not go to school the next day. Another of the girls woke up the next morning with her nose bleeding.

Local residents have seen a strange figure, which they described as resembling a "shroud". The apparitions, which always occur in the early morning hours, have become so common that in recent days several neighbors have stayed up late to see them, and it is thus that they were able to confirm the simultaneous presence of up to 2 such beings, as well as red lights flying over the area.

All the witnesses whether individuals or in a group, agree that the entities are nebulous and glowing, with a pair of red eyes being clearly identifiable, and glassy faces (as if transparent). Their movements are smooth and they always appear from behind the sand dunes, as though "coming form the Naval Base." Most witnesses agree that they show a great interest in the water tanks located above the roofs, and that they do not flee upon detecting the presence of local residents---rather, they stare at them fixedly for some minutes.

Deep silence is perceived during the observations and "the air appears to become still" and neither heat nor cold can be felt---only a sensation of warmth, as if the beings emanated heat. Witnesses also state that things appear to be darker when "the shroud" appears, as though ambient lighting were dimmed. Another curious fact is the large number of cats and dogs who report to the place where the sightings occur and sit down to observe it in silence, in a state resembling a trance.

A series of semi-circular prints have been found in the dunes, not very deep, with 15-20 cm separations in some cases and 30-50 cm in others. The locals have identified them as the strange being's footprints. Efforts have been made to photograph the "shroud", but all images, despite the use of different cameras appear exposed. One witness who approached the site to witness the phenomenon took two photos of the prints in the afternoon and decided to stay with the group of people hoping to see the "shroud", managing to take some photos of same and record the new prints which appeared in the dunes after the sighting.

A completely uncommon print was found at the site---but the residents aren't sure if it's related to the phenomenon: it has the shape of a five-fingered claw. One witness tried to make use of his carbine's telescopic sight to see the figure in greater detail, but "when he tried to focus on it, he could see nothing…it was a though it could only be seen with the unaided eye."

A search party composed of local police, state police and volunteers searched for Sees. The 4-wheeler was found on the top of the mountain near a power-line. Tracking dogs could find nothing to go on around the 4-wheeler.

The search went on for 2 days and over 6 miles of mountain was covered from top to bottom. Then, in the evening of the 2nd day, his body was found in a hard to reach wooded area. He was wearing his underwear. He was emaciated---not bloated. He was pale and had an expression of horror on his face. When he went up the mountain he was fully dressed, boots, camo-vest, hat, socks, pants. 3 people, on one farm, said they saw a large round bright object just above the power-lines at the time of the disappearance.

It was silent, it did not move for about 10 to 15 minutes. It suddenly went up and suddenly stopped. A light shone down and something was pulled up into the light. It then went straight up, hesitated again, and then went west over the Susquehanna River and out of sight. More specifically a farmer saw an object above Montour Ridge at the power lines, on top of the mountain, it was round and very still over the lines. Suddenly it moved what looked like a few hundred feet to the east, it stopped and a beam of blue and white light shone to the ground.

What was seen next was very unnerving, he saw what appeared to be a man suspended in the light, he was being pulled up head first, he was moving his arms slowly in the light. What looked like a man was pulled up into the bottom of the craft. A few seconds later it started shuddering, then went west very fast, stopped briefly, and then went straight up and out of sight. Also three fishermen saw the craft. The FBI is supposedly also investigating.

Researcher Robert Lesniakiewicz was out in a wooded area looking for mushrooms when suddenly he felt an unusual quiet in the area, the birds seemed to stop singing and the insects had stopped chirping. Almost simultaneously he heard a whistle coming from somewhere in front of him that was initially high-pitched and then declined in volume.

He noticed an "invisible" something or somebody that seemed to be parting some tree branches just about 30 meters from his location. Seconds later he heard a second identical whistle, this time coming from behind him. Lesniakiewicz had the distinct impression that someone invisible was stalking him and trying to surround him. He could feel whistles and movement all around him but could not see anything physical.

After a few terrifying minutes everything suddenly returned to normal, with the familiar bird and insect sounds now back in focus. He searched around but could not find any logical explanation as to what had occurred. (Brings to mind the attack on a woman by invisible "aliens" in the Lorie Valley, France back in 1950).

One of the "birds" left the group and sailed down to circle the witness for about five minutes or so. He described the strange bird, as having a long and baldhead with a long beak, and something prolonging the head stuck out form its hind skull.

It really looked more like a pterodactyl than a bird. The only difference was that it was covered with feathers. It had the body of a penguin and a long neck, also short legs. It had a white breast and belly, while the rest of its body was totally black. Its wingspan was at least that of 7 ft.

Pedro and Estela Moine had decided to visit the business district of town called Barrio Norte and crossed the old railroad yard through a pedestrian pathway that ran through a pasture area between some silos, old railroad depots and abandoned wreckage. As the couple moved through the premises they suddenly became aware of a strange and incomprehensible conversation between many voices. Startled, they stopped walking moved a few meters more and then heard the voices again which now sounded like strange "O" sounds. Pedro looked toward the silos and was able to see resembling humanoid but lacking upper and lower extremities.

Despite the pleas of his wife, Pedro ran several meters toward an inner alley in the silo plant, being able to make out some 45 meters to the west and in profile---the entity, which acting surprised, avoided the encounter and moved again to the north. However, what filled the witnesses with wonderment was that the creature did so as though flying or floating without touching the facilities it passed. Pedro and Estela ran after it. It was thus that the man managed to see the entity apparently hiding behind the control room of the truck scale. Pedro ran toward it and was again startled to see the apparition rising as a plane taking off, flying at an altitude of 5 meters and disappearing behind a large metal shed.

Bewildered, both witnesses called out, but were unable to see anything else. Pedro Moine as "a thing with human shape" described the apparition. It had some sort of light, although he could not say if reflected or self-generated, although he tends to believe the latter, since it was a nebulous whitish light, which kept him from making out details. The entire mass of the apparition appeared to be a body covered from head to toe in some sort of mantle, which he described as though it wore a hat, but covered with some kind of long raincoat reaching down to what he took to be its feet. He added that the "conversational sounds" repeated themselves in three separate occasions at various intensities. They were like conversations in a strange language.

Jaime H F 31-years old and a group of friends were celebrating a birthday and were driving a convoy of about 3 vehicles when they suddenly had to make an emergency bathroom stop. One of the members of the group, Camila, walked about 20 meters away from the group in order to relieve herself. A few minutes later she began to scream hysterically. She reported seeing something incredible and hard to describe sitting on top of some nearby rocks. It resembled something resembling a person sitting on top of the rocks, with his knees up to his chin and arms covering the knees, giving the impression that it was cold. Its facial features appeared demonic, with large staring eyes, and something covering its head that was hard to describe. It had a large wide mouth that stretched all the way to its ears, and large fang like protrusions protruding from the lower jaw area.

The others now gathered and thinking that it was someone in a costume began hurling stones at the figure. The stones apparently did not do any damage and appeared to bounce back from the creature, which just sat smiling at the group. It had extremely wide shoulders and there was something on the neck area that the group was unable to describe. It had three fingered hands but with extremely long nails, the same with its feet. After about 10 minutes the figure suddenly vanished in plain sight. The group felt as it was being observed from all directions. Soon after making some lighthearted comments they returned to their vehicles. Suddenly something very heavy landed on top of one of trucks causing the roof to cave under, opening the door they did not see anything but felt as if something flew away. They shone their flashlights around the area but could not see anything. Still joking about the matter the occupants of one of the vehicles felt somebody suddenly lift their truck from behind.

At this point they decided to leave the area and go to another location across town an area called "El Puente del Diablo" (Devil's bridge). There at around 0530A at the edge of the river, the strange creature again appeared to the group, but this time it was standing up. They calculated its height at about 2.5 meters and stood immobile staring at the group. It resembled an image projected on the rocky terrain. Some attempted to use their cell phones but these were not working. At this point the group decided to go to their respective homes. Other locals in the same area reported hearing loud screeching sounds resembling those of pigs or mice.

Police officer Guillermo Arias was on routine patrol through a rural area when he heard over the radio that his colleagues in arms over at Achiras were seeing lights in sectors of said community, and that they were heading towards Chajan along National Route 8. At the wheel of the police patrol van, he managed to see a formation of 7 lights in the distance and decided to drive 10 km along a rural dirt road. When he had covered said distance, he noticed, not without surprise, that the engine of his vehicle sputtered and died, causing the police car to strike the edge of a guardrail. Simultaneously, the lights on the van's dashboard began turning on and off randomly, the police radio went haywire and its dial displayed the random shifting of the frequencies while the cabin became filled with an acrid odor, as though of burnt wiring, and the interior lights and stop indicator, which were broken, began lighting on and off. Seized by fear, Arias leaped from the van and walked away a few meters down the road, losing his cellular phone in the escape.

The darkness was total, when suddenly, amid the confusing situation; an immense light emerged from a field adjacent to the road as a triangular object rose majestically into the air. Now Arias condition went from fear to abject terror as he saw what he described as a real "floating city" some 200 meters long with a long row of windows (perhaps as many as 100). Arias claims having seen something move behind them, describing the movement as "TV sets which make lines and shadows", which he defined as "non-human", and that many beams of light came out of the giant triangle, aimed at the ground. The event lasted 2-3 seconds, but to Arias it felt like an eternity. The object suddenly rose and sped away, vanishing behind the hills of a local field. As the object moved away, the whole area was lit up like daytime and there was an afterglow that lasted another 20 minutes.

Three girls had decided to visit the rooftop as they did the prior evening watching for satellites. It was dusk and the girls had a good vantage point looking towards the east. With them they had a pair of binoculars and a pair of walkie-talkies. The girls noticed that a large orange light appeared approximately 15 degrees above the eastern horizon. The anomaly was noted to have fluctuated in colors of orange, yellow, white and pale blue. At fist they thought of an arriving airplane, but then a second light appeared approximately 50 degrees south of the first anomaly, and about 10 degrees above the horizon. This much smaller anomaly began to perform some unusually maneuvering; from a stationary position it accelerated at least 5 degrees closer to the ground surface at an approximate 45-60 degree angle within a matter of a single second.

The first anomaly then began to move slowly towards the north. At this stage they partially lost view of it as it moved behind a tree. Then a third anomaly appeared in a valley-like region of the horizon. According to the witnesses, this third object appeared to have "landed" on the ground surface. The object was then viewed through the binoculars and presented in great detail; the object was described as a gray saucer with interchanging colors of green, red/orange, blue/purple and white rotating around the rim. Thy also noted the trees being slightly illuminated by this extraordinary phenomenon. They were suddenly distracted by someone on their walkie-talkie saying, "Identify yourself." This was followed by some unusual voices communicating in a foreign language. Around 1830 the girls were then called down to have dinner. At about 2030 the girls re-established their places on the roof after dinner.

To their surprise, the third ground-based object was still present. Unexpectedly a yellow beam of light ascended a few meters above the object and suddenly deviated its course towards the three girls. "It was like an orange, yellowy bright light shining on us from far away." The light shone on them for a period of about half a minute. At this point, it is not clear how one of the girls ended up on the ground. She became extremely hysterical and ran inside. The other two girls quickly followed her. That evening all three girls had stomach pains. One of them could not sleep and did not go to school the next day. Another of the girls woke up the next morning with her nose bleeding.

Local residents have seen a strange figure, which they described as resembling a "shroud". The apparitions, which always occur in the early morning hours, have become so common that in recent days several neighbors have stayed up late to see them, and it is thus that they were able to confirm the simultaneous presence of up to 2 such beings, as well as red lights flying over the area. All the witnesses whether individuals or in a group, agree that the entities are nebulous and glowing, with a pair of red eyes being clearly identifiable, and glassy faces (as if transparent). Their movements are smooth and they always appear from behind the sand dunes, as though "coming form the Naval Base." Most witnesses agree that they show a great interest in the water tanks located above the roofs, and that they do not flee upon detecting the presence of local residents---rather, they stare at them fixedly for some minutes.

Deep silence is perceived during the observations and "the air appears to become still" and neither heat nor cold can be felt---only a sensation of warmth, as if the beings emanated heat. Witnesses also state that things appear to be darker when "the shroud" appears, as though ambient lighting were dimmed. Another curious fact is the large number of cats and dogs who report to the place where the sightings occur and sit down to observe it in silence, in a state resembling a trance. A series of semi-circular prints have been found in the dunes, not very deep, with 15-20 cm separations in some cases and 30-50 cm in others. The locals have identified them as the strange being's footprints. Efforts have been made to photograph the "shroud", but all images, despite the use of different cameras appear exposed.

One witness who approached the site to witness the phenomenon took two photos of the prints in the afternoon and decided to stay with the group of people hoping to see the "shroud", managing to take some photos of same and record the new prints which appeared in the dunes after the sighting. A completely uncommon print was found at the site---but the residents aren't sure if it's related to the phenomenon: it has the shape of a five-fingered claw. One witness tried to make use of his carbine's telescopic sight to see the figure in greater detail, but "when he tried to focus on it, he could see nothing…it was a though it could only be seen with the unaided eye."

A search party composed of local police, state police and volunteers searched for Sees. The 4-wheeler was found on the top of the mountain near a power-line. Tracking dogs could find nothing to go on around the 4-wheeler. The search went on for 2 days and over 6 miles of mountain was covered from top to bottom. Then, in the evening of the 2nd day, his body was found in a hard to reach wooded area. He was wearing his underwear. He was emaciated---not bloated.

He was pale and had an expression of horror on his face. When he went up the mountain he was fully dressed, boots, camo-vest, hat, socks, pants. 3 people, on one farm, said they saw a large round bright object just above the power-lines at the time of the disappearance. It was silent, it did not move for about 10 to 15 minutes. It suddenly went up and suddenly stopped. A light shone down and something was pulled up into the light. It then went straight up, hesitated again, and then went west over the Susquehanna River and out of sight. More specifically a farmer saw an object above Montour Ridge at the power lines, on top of the mountain, it was round and very still over the lines.

Suddenly it moved what looked like a few hundred feet to the east, it stopped and a beam of blue and white light shone to the ground. What was seen next was very unnerving, he saw what appeared to be a man suspended in the light, he was being pulled up head first, he was moving his arms slowly in the light. What looked like a man was pulled up into the bottom of the craft. A few seconds later it started shuddering, then went west very fast, stopped briefly, and then went straight up and out of sight. Also three fishermen saw the craft. The FBI is supposedly also investigating. (Debated as a hoax, who would? and for what purpose?).

When he came back to his room, there was a figure standing outside of his window, the figure was shadowy and it resembled a "typical" gray alien. He ran outside armed with his pellet gun and as he opened the door he saw it disappearing into the woods in front of the house. It was gray in color, hairless and the head was slightly larger than normal.

Researcher Robert Lesniakiewicz was out in a wooded area looking for mushrooms when suddenly he felt an unusual quiet in the area, the birds seemed to stop singing and the insects had stopped chirping. Almost simultaneously he heard a whistle coming from somewhere in front of him that was initially high-pitched and then declined in volume. He noticed an "invisible" something or somebody that seemed to be parting some tree branches just about 30 meters from his location.

Seconds later he heard a second identical whistle, this time coming from behind him. Lesniakiewicz had the distinct impression that someone invisible was stalking him and trying to surround him. He could feel whistles and movement all around him but could not see anything physical. After a few terrifying minutes everything suddenly returned to normal, with the familiar bird and insect sounds now back in focus. He searched around but could not find any logical explanation as to what had occurred. (Brings to mind the attack on a woman by invisible "aliens" in the Lorie Valley, France back in 1950).

The witness was at the Sharpsville High School parking lot when he heard a sound. A small "vehicle" then landed in the parking lot. At that point he apparently lost all memory of the event. His next recollection was of sitting in a room with two other people. They did not appear to be aliens. One was a woman with a mask on and a small tank on her back. She kept repeating, "Thank you Jesus." The man told the witness that his name was Joe. He also did not remember how he got there and was quite irritated. They took from the group and into a room. His last memory was seeing a tall man and a small man. The small man looked like he had on some kind of uniform. The small man called the other "grayman" or "graban". His next memory was of being back in the parking lot.

Startled he looked up and noticed a huge flattened sphere, hovering above the water and radiating light downwards. The hovering sphere was silvery in color with a diameter of about 15-20 meters. On the lower section of the object there was an illuminated "window" and from within a beam of light shone on the water.

The light was very bright resembling the glow of welding torch. On the side of the sphere he saw 4 or 5 additional lighted windows. Behind the windows he noted several silhouettes moving inside the object, these were similar to humans but only about 1.3-1.4 meters in height. In a state of shock Milkheev watched for several minutes as the sphere began to gain altitude and move away, in total silence. The object moved towards the village of Semenovka and disappeared into the distance. His friends who were in the same area also reported seeing the object.

Joyce Sawtelle was at a local grocery store (Market Basket Supermarket) when she came around a corner face to face with a man who looked basically Asian, but had eyes that were very different. Eventually she saw 4 other people with eyes exactly like his. None of them had any variation at all in size or shape. Except for the woman, who stood with a shopping cart at one of the check out lines, her eyes were smaller. These eyes were large and the irises were golden amber colored. The shape of these eyes was different from normal humans in that they were straight across the top and straight across the bottom. They did not tilt and they did not have the curved shape that human eyes have.

These people avoided making eye contact with Joyce and the man that she stood beside lowered his eyes, sod did the woman with the shopping car, which would not make any eye contact. She could not tell that their eyes were different when they lowered them. Two other men (wearing light brown suits) were standing over near the meat counter, one slightly behind the other, and they were both staring upward at something, which was behind her. They stared unblinkingly for a good 2 minutes before this whole episode ended and the man she was beside with walked away.

The two men that were staring turned away and as they did it seemed to her that they were "shrinking" or "collapsing" somehow. She did not want to look at them anymore and went immediately to the front of the store and checked out. In looking behind to try to see what the men were staring at, she noticed that there was a bare white there where the dairy cases were supposed to be.

It was still somewhat dark with moderate rain falling, so she was not able to get a detailed look at the creature.

She was however able to describe it as about 2 ½ ft tall if it had been standing, and entirely white all over its body, either covered in very sleek fur or just very white skin. It was seated on its haunches and appeared to have tiny, dexterous hands like a very small person might. She was not able to see its head or face clearly but was able to make out either hair sticking out around its head or some sort of spines. She hurriedly walked away from the area.

The witness was sitting in her kitchen at a counter facing a window reading when a light off to her left attracted her attention. She glanced up quickly and thought it was the reflection of the dining room light. She kept on reading but the light continued to bother her. She finally looked out the window and realized that there was some sort of craft hovering above the trees just past the fenced in area of her yard. The sky was lit up from the nearby city lights so she could make out the shape of the craft. It was a very sleek saucer shape seemingly even on top and bottom.

There were large windows separated every eight to ten feet by posts. A very brilliant light that did not shine out of the craft onto the surrounding trees, which the witness thought it was odd, lighted up the interior. Standing inside the vehicle was what seemed to be a male figure, human in shape, leaning on a ledge with his hands on it, looking at the witness house. When she came to the window and he saw her looking at him he did not move and just continued looking at her. Fascinated the witness watch the craft float and gently rock back & forth.

She started screaming for her husband who was in the other side of the house. Just then the craft gently tilted so that she could see the bottom and started to move slowly to the east. By the time her husband got to the window the craft was about 50 ft away and 50 ft off the ground. They could see red and white blinking lights on the bottom. No noise was heard.

She looked over to the other side of the room and noticed that the closet light was off (it had been on when she went to sleep). She then several shadowy creatures come through the wall and then one came behind her and she began to feel afraid. She kept saying in her mind to leave her alone.

The next morning she woke up and found a red "bump" in the back of her neck.

A man and his girlfriend had driven to an isolated area and were talking quietly when suddenly it felt very hot and there was a flash of light and a strange "car" appeared next to them, it was dark and appeared to have no lights. Afraid and unable to move both stood staring at the strange vehicle. Suddenly a normal man like figure emerged from the vehicle and asked the witnesses, apparently by using telepathy if they had seen any "strange smoke" in the area, the witnesses said no. He then went back into the vehicle, which then disappeared, in plain sight.

Coal miner Luis Sepulveda had gone into the woods to urinate before starting to work in the nearby mines. He walked about 15 meters into the woods. The area was not completely dark; there seemed to be a little bit of moonlight. Suddenly, at about 3 meters away from him, he saw out of the corner of his eye what appeared to be small tree moving from side to side, as if the wind was hitting it. But then he realized that there was no wind at all. He decided to turn around to take a better look at it, and suddenly realized that it was not a tree at all. It was a dark hairy creature mimicking a tree, with its arms wide open and moving its upper body from side to side just like trees do. Terrified Sepulveda left the area.

The 35-year old witness was staying over at a friend's house when soon after midnight they heard the dog barking and howling as if in a state of terror. Both men ran out and looked around but could not find anything. Soon they heard strange noises from the rear of the house near the goat pen, running over to the pen they were stunned to see what appeared to be a humanoid about 1.50meters in height, reptilian in appearance, that appeared to be sucking blood from a disabled goat. Upon noticing the witnesses, the strange creature took a long leap into the woods and vanished. The goat was found dead and almost totally drained of blood. The creature was reptilian in appearance, but the men were not able to see its facial features.

A middle-aged couple was driving home on State Road 254 when they saw 2 boomerang- shaped flying craft hovering over a neighbor's field. On at least one of the crafts a series of lighted windows could be seen with occupants moving around inside. When the couple turned around to go down the neighbor's driveway, the objects vanished. They turned around to go home and when they arrived, their college-aged daughter was waiting for them. She had just arrived home from college from the opposite direction and excitedly told them about seeing a triangle shaped object up the road, before they could tell her about what they'd seen.

The witness was out shopping on the main boulevard on a very snowy day. On his way back up the hill as he was approaching the crest of the hill he saw a man walking towards him. He had a long sleeve shirt on, a beautiful pale tan color, he had a tan color pair of trousers on, he had a tunic, blue sleeveless tunic on and the thing that the witness noticed most was the man's skin. It was the most beautiful golden color and immediately the witness thought of where did the man had gotten the tan. As the stranger came closer to the witness, they were on the same side of the street; the witness noticed that he had long black hair down to his shoulders.

And as he came abreast of the witness he gave him the most incredible smile that the witness had ever seen. The witness, now totally dumbfounded could hardly smile back at the man, who was smiling with his brilliant golden smile, full of love. He walked by the witness as the witness stood in the street almost in shock and in a state of awe. When he finally began to look around he could no longer see the stranger, but there were a number of people walking down towards the boulevard. He did not see the incredible looking stranger again.
