Date: September 1938

Time: before sunrise

A man had gone into an isolated area in order to cut down trees and gather leaves. He suddenly saw two human like figures standing on a nearby clearing. He approached them carefully and was now able to see that the “men” were very tall with large heads, short hair, large red-colored staring eyes, and dark bronzed skin. Their faces seemed sunburned and bloated and both appeared to be wearing military type uniforms. The beings were standing in front of a large metallic egg shaped craft that was standing on 3-4 legs and its top half was transparent. The witness, who was holding an ax, shouted at the beings, this seemed to startle them since they quickly climbed up into the object via a round open hatch. The witness could now see the two beings inside the craft; one stared at him while the other appeared to operate some controls. Something resembling a balloon suddenly inflated on the back of the object apparently causing the object to rise up vertically and disappear quickly from sight. A peculiar flask with a flammable type liquid was later found at the site.

Maria Costa was on Commercial Street near the Town Hall and she prepared to cross the road toward the coffee shop, something caught her eye. Some large creature was moving about in the shadows outside a closed up shop. It then jumped right at her as if were on springs, spreading its cape like vast black wings. Maria froze, too startled to scream. The dark, menacing presence loomed over her like a giant. Then it vanished. She described it as all black, with eyes like balls of fire and at least 8 ft tall. The most unsettling thing of all, it appeared to make a sort of buzzing sound, like a monstrous insect.

Charles Farley’s dog cornered a creature in the yard. Farley went out, shotgun in hand, and was confronted by a tall black monster with what looked like long silver ears. Thinking it was some kind of wild animal he shot at it. But it didn’t react like any wild animal; the thing just laughed and vaulted over the 8-foot fence and out of Farley’s yard. Around the same time a local boy was coming home from the library when a tall black figure jumped out at him from nowhere and “spit blue flames into his face.”

A man was returning from work when he noticed a bright light shining from behind some nearby trees. He approached to within 150 ft and noticed a silvery object on the ground. It was shaped like an upside down dish with a dome on top, approximately 30 meters in diameter. 4 metallic “legs” supported the object and between these there was a long ladder extending all the way to the ground. At the base of the ladder stood 4 short man-like figures, about 4 ft tall, & wearing coverall like suits. Curious, the witness approached the group and these suddenly scrambled up the ladder & into the object.

Immediately the ladder & the legs retracted back into the craft and a very bright orange light came on. The craft lifted up, at first very slowly then it increased its speed and shot up into the sky and disappeared.

Interesting story, if true if would seem to indicate that the US Government had already recovered crashed “aliens” before 1947. There are other reports from other countries indicating that such recoveries had been made in the 30’s and early 40’s.

Date: January 1939

Time: midnight

Two men, including Michael Sheehy were returning home from work and were nearing a wide detour around the Killeaden state when they were perplexed to see three strange figures standing in a group just where the by-road joins the highway. And they were indeed three extraordinary figures. They were tall and well built and all were clothed in deep black. They stood close together and facing each other in a small circle or triangle, with their arms straight down by their sides and their heads bowed as if in sorrow or deep contemplation. After some hesitation the two men plucked up their courage and walked past these eerie figures but keeping as far away as possible, well on the grass verge on the other side of the road. Then they hurried on and parted at the avenue gates. As Sheehy reached the back avenue gate he stopped in horror, for there, before him on the outside road were the same three weird figures, just as he had seen them before. It was of course, quite impossible for them to have got there, by natural means. Even running they could not have made the detour in time, but there they were and in the same queer poses as before. Sheehy again keeping as far away as he could ran past them and made his way home as fast as he could go.

The 5-year old witness suddenly woke up to see three “shapes” sitting before him on his bed, however he did not feel any additional load or pressure on the bed. The shapes had human proportions with round heads but blurred facial features, but the eyes appeared to be black. They had arms with hands that blended into the darkness. The figures were encased in a shiny white glow, which clearly outlined their bodies. The shapes sat one behind the other; the figure in front was bending down looking directly at the witness. The witness never felt frightened, but however screamed for his parents and turned the lights on at this point the figures seemed to fade away. The shiny visitors apparently came back the same night, with the same results.

Mr. Antonis Priftis was coming down the mountain, taking his sheep back to the fold. Suddenly he saw a bright mushroom-shaped object hovering above some nearby trees. The object had bright searchlights around its rim below and was illuminating the area. Two strange creatures seemed to “descend” to the ground on one of the beams of the “searchlights.” The creatures were wearing “diver’s suits” (the witness described them as sponge divers”). The two creatures walked towards his location and stopped about 3 meters away from him. They did not talk to him, but the witness felt “voices inside his head.” The creatures asked repeatedly him to go with them but the witness refused. They also told him that they had come many times in the same spot and that they would come back again. After that, they went back to the “flying mushroom” in the same manner. The object’s light seemed to dim and it started gaining height. After a while the object disappeared with great speed, leaving behind it a trail of bright orange light.

A retired FBI agent said that while investigating unusual reports concerning a fortuneteller and military secrets he was sent to the above location to investigate the facts. Upon arriving at the residence the agents found a woman sitting on the front porch. The agents approached the bottom steps and identified themselves. They told her that they were going to ask her several questions. She smiled and said yes but told them she was not a fortuneteller and she could read their minds. She said she had been “reading minds” for a very long time. When asked where she was from, she replied, “Another world.” She was asked what she was doing on Earth and replied that she was guarding something that did not concerned humans. The agents decided to take her in for questioning but she told them she had not intentions of going with them. The head agent ordered one of the men to escort her to the car but as he was walking up the steps of the porch he suddenly began trembling and fell to the ground. She remained sitting and told the agents that if they made any further attempts none of them would leave from there alive. They agreed and the agent on the ground got up unhurt. Before leaving, the agents asked for proof that she was indeed from another world, she agreed and told them to have their superiors pick an area of 100 square miles and to put markers around it, and to make sure no airplanes flew over the area. The agents left and reported the strange encounter to their superiors. They strangely agreed to do exactly what she told them to. Later an internal excursion into the deserted area that was picked for the “proof” revealed that it had been completely devoid of life, including birds, plants, etc. The agents were told to forget the whole thing and to never attempt to contact the strange woman again.

Several young children were resting in the shade under some large trees when some nearby goats became agitated and stampeded down a nearby hill. Soon a huge metallic disc shaped craft flew low above the witnesses emitting a strong heat wave. The craft descended and landed amidst a great cloud of dust on a nearby clearing, emitting a loud whistling sound as it touched the ground, the craft had a band of red, yellow and green lights around its edge. A door opened & a tall figure clad in a silvery metallic outfit, with headgear and a wide belt emerged, quickly followed by a shorter similarly dressed figure. They both walked in very stiff movements. Their silvery suit covered their faces and both had two black holes where the eyes should have been, both figures took out an object resembling a flashlight and walked 50 yards away from the object. They eventually returned into the object, which ascended at tremendous speed. Ground traces were said to have been found and were supposedly still visible in 1980.

Time: late night

Joao Lucindo a gold prospector had been camping in an isolated area one night when a persistent loud whistling sound awakened him. The whistling sound was like nothing he had ever heard before. He walked to a nearby ravine to investigate the sound and at first could not see anything. The strange whistling continued throughout the night without Lucindo locating its source. Soon he noticed a peculiar light on some nearby woods and armed with a powerful lantern and a rifle he went to investigate. As he approached the lighted circular area he suddenly felt he was unable to move any further. Suddenly he saw two very tall man-like figures approach; these were at least 1.80 meters in height. Both figures wore tight fitting metallic outfits that covered them from their feet to their necks. As a result of the light he could not distinguish their faces clearly but they appeared to be human in appearance. The men suddenly spoke and told Lucindo to look up, as he did he saw an object hovering above the treetops about 40 meters away. The object resembled a metallic revolving disc shaped object. This object was apparently the source of the mysterious whistling. As he looked at the object mesmerized a hatch opened slowly and he saw a very bright interior light. At this point the two tall humanoids grabbed Lucindo by his arms and all three rose slowly up into the object. Inside he saw what appeared an immense laboratory. He was given numerous examinations by the humanoids and was told that all this was somehow going to benefit his family. Soon Lucindo was released and returned to his home near the campsite at around midnight, not able to explain to his family where he had been. During the night Lucindo had a strange dream where the two humanoids told him exactly where to dig for gold the next time he prospected in the mountain. He did as he had dreamed (or told) and indeed found a rich vein of mineral (gold), which did improve his family’s fortunes. Vicente Lucindo died in 1970 soon after he revealed to investigators about what had transpired decades before.

Time: afternoon

10-year old “Jack Quinn” and his mother were taking a walk on a local hill when they heard a strange humming sound under their feet, which seemed to be vibrating. Scared his mother grabbed his hand and pulled him across the heather, but in their haste he fell and hurt his ankle. As his mother knelt down to check, there was a strong smell of “something burning” like burnt paper. Then a big white globe of light suddenly appeared from nowhere, in the middle of the field. The sphere of light did not move at first, it just sat on the heather about 4 or 5 yards away. They estimated it to have been about 6 feet across. Then two little men appeared on the brow of the hill. Even though they were about 30 yards away, the witnesses could see that they were tiny, about 3 ft in height. They wore some kind of shiny material, a sort of light greenish color, and had close-fitting helmets made of similar kind of material. The little men were jabbering away to each other in high-pitched voices. They then looked across at the witnesses, pointed, getting excited. The globe of light the moved closer to the witnesses and the mother, now terrified began to pray. The light rolled right around the witnesses very slow. Then it stopped, the humming sound getting louder. Then suddenly everything stopped. The humming noise and vibrating disappeared and the globe of light and the little men seemed to dematerialize. Both witnesses got up and as they made their slow and painful progress across the field to the path, they distinctly heard some weird high-pitched laughter, which seemed to come from the air. Then there was a sudden, unnaturally complete stillness. Both felt very tired. They seemed to have become disoriented and lost as they stumbled around the field for about half an hour. Soon, inexplicably they found themselves back in the path totally unaware how they got there.
