W D Secrest was hunting turtles in a creek when he saw three flying disc shaped objects over the area. Scared at first he hid behind a tree. He then noticed one of the discs descend and hover over a nearby field. He was able to obtain a good look at the object & was able to see a cockpit with two pilot-like figures inside as the object tilted. He also noted a black hump behind the cockpit, which he believed housed the engines. The other two discs remained high in the air, while the lower disc apparently surveyed the field. It suddenly zoomed upward, took a leading position in front of the other two discs and all three took off at incredible speed.

Levity also had its day, coming from Gene Gamachi, 1309 S 8 St, I W Martenson and Gordon Pollack, and a group called the "Center & J Street Neighbors." The "neighbors" reported the disks, after landing on a neighborhood roof, disgorged several "little people" who vanished when reporters approached.

Time: unknown

A merchant seaman who swore he never touched a drop telephoned the Houston Post and said a big silver disc landed in front of him while he was walking in Acres Home addition (on Rt. I49, just NNW of the Houston city line). A little man, two feet tall, and with a head the size of a basketball, climbed out of the disc and shook hands with him, the seaman said, then climbed back in and whirled away into the blue.

"Did he look like a man from Mars?" the reporter asked.

"I dunno," the seaman replied, "I never seen a man from Mars."

Location. NE of Pitanga Brazil

Date: July 23 1947

Time: daytime

Hearing a whistling sound, Jose C Higgins, a topographer, saw coming down a lens shaped object with surrounding flange; it landed 150 ft away. It was of gray white metal, about 150 ft in diameter with a 3 foot rim, and 15 ft high, "crossed by tubes in several directions," the whistling coming from these. Metallic legs, which bent a little, supported the craft. Walking closer, he saw through a black glass window 2 persons watching him; a door opened beneath the rim, and there emerged 3 people enveloped in inflated transparent suits, with metal boxes on their backs. They wore shirts and shorts, which looked as though made of paper rather than cloth. Their heads were almost hairless, their eyes round and large, and their legs relatively long; they were nearly 7 ft tall. All 3 looked identical. They spoke in an unknown language, and he noticed that they kept in the shade except for brief periods. One, pointing a metal tube at him, motioned Higgins to enter the door, through which he could see an inner door and the end of a "pipe." Using gestures, Higgins asked where they came from. One drew on the ground a dot (the sun, "Alamo" in their language) surrounded by 7 circles, and pointed alternately to the seventh circle (called "Orque" Uranus) and to their craft. Not wishing to go there, Higgins showed them a picture of his wife, indicating that he did not want to leave her, and the allowed him to go. From the forest he looked back to see them "playing like children, jumping in the air and throwing enormous stones." After half an hour, having "carefully examined their surroundings," they re-entered and the craft took off.

His grandmother awakened the 9-year old witness when they saw a bright bluish light from behind their cottage. He ran out back and saw a large disc-shaped object hovering overhead ringed with multi-colored lights. His next memory was of was of waking up again and trying to explain how did the vegetable garden in the back of the house suddenly dried out; the whole garden was ashen and dry. His skin was also sunburned and he had a small puncture wound on his head from where blood was oozing out. (Possibly an unexplored abduction event).

Location. New Mexico Desert

Date: August 13 1947

Time: unknown

Six Native Americans discovered a still smoldering metallic disc shaped object that had apparently crashed in the desert. Inside they found an alien creature (not described) that was injured, but still alive. Hearing the approach of military troops, the men decided to keep the being from capture and care of him themselves. Taking him to their home, they found the being could communicate with them through a crystal device that conveyed images. The Indians called the being the "Star Elder".

Time: 0900A

Ascending a mountain stream, the Chiarao, R L Johannis came upon a 10-meter wide lens shaped object of red burnished metal, wedged into a rock crack so that it stood on edge. It had a low cupola bearing a thin telescoping antenna like a car radio's but no openings. Seeing two "boys" 50 meters away, he called out to them, and began to approach them. When within 25 meters, he saw that they were midget-sized beings not over 3 ft tall, wearing dark blue overalls of translucent material, with bright red belts, collars, and cuffs. Their large heads were covered with broad tight fitting caps. They had immense round yellow green eyes with vertical slit pupils, and a mere slit of a ^-shaped mouth, which kept opening and closing. Their skin was dull greenish; they walked like robots, with arms hanging. After a couple of minute's stupor, Johannis waved his geologist's pick and called out, asking who they were. At this one raised his hand to his belt and a thin puff of smoke received was emitted; Johannis found himself flat on the ground, paralyzed, feeling as if he had received an electric shock. He saw one of the beings pick up his pick, with a green hand that had eight fingers, four of them opposite like our thumbs. Then with small steps they slowly walked to the saucer. A few minutes after they entered the rock crack, the disk rose vertically to about 15 ft above the ground (still on edge, "like a gong") & hovered there, while Johannis tried to get up but fell back again. The disc tipped a bit, and then took off, with a blast of wind that rolled Johannis into the stony riverbed. It was more than 2 hours before he felt able to walk home. When he unpacked his pack, he found that the aluminum objects in it were missing. At this time he had never heard of flying saucers.

A local Indian named Chuima reported seeing several oval shaped objects along with an object in the shape of a train hovering above and near a local lagoon. There was an uncanny silence in the air. He could see several short child-like figures walking near the object seemingly in the air. The entities seemed to be picking up round black "rocks" and passing them among each other.

Date: September 1947

Time: evening

3 or 4 local peasant women were returning to their village from the lake with sacks of cranberries when suddenly they noticed a fire in the forest and several "men" seating near it. One of the women put her sack on the ground and approached the fire. The men did not react to her presence. When she came closer she was stunned to see that those "men" were child-sized dwarfs with greenish faces. When they saw her, they all jumped up and ran from the area. The next day, other villagers found unusual "alien" footprints resembling horseshoes with 3 calks. Apparently the greenish dwarfs were hoofed.

Time: unknown

Another alleged crash retrieval took place in Paradise Valley. Selman E Graves, a former businessman and pilot, witnesses part of the recovery along with two friends during a hunting trip. Graves reported: "There were some mine shafts---what you might call an outcropping---and a small hill, and we went up there and the three of us could look back and see everything that was taking place." There was a large aluminum colored dome shaped object, which was roughly the size of a house---it was measured to have been 36 feet in diameter. They could see pitched buildings---tents---and men moving about. Supposedly there were a couple of small humanoids---about 4 and half feet tall recovered at the site.

Terrified Campo began to scream, this apparently caused the creature to scamper away from the area at great speed. The witness became very ill after the encounter, loosing all his stamina. He died 15 years later after suffering from chronic pain.

During hypnosis experiment the witness entered a trance-like state during which she seemed to travel at great speed to a place with a cloudy atmosphere. She then entered a doorway into an underworld place where she saw machinery and heard the sounds of its operators. Suddenly two women seized and overpowered her and then took her before a man. The beings were tall. The man was nearly bald; the women wore silvery helmets and black shirts. She blacked out then awoke to find her shoulder exposed as the beings searched for a mark. They failed to find it then the man took out some sort of gun and burned the figures "H6AQ" onto her leg. (These were still visible when she came out of the trance!) The man gave a cackling laugh when he caused her this pain and then threatened her. The beings did not speak English, but somehow she understood them.

Unconventional Flying Objects: A Scientific Analysis

- Paul R. Hill
Here is a book to intrigue both non-technical and more mechanically inclined UFO enthusiasts. Without making a case for the origins of UFOs, Hill argues that their functionality is feasible by applying established principles of physics to existing reports in which an amazingly consistent UFO behavior has been described. In language which is technically sound, but not so advanced that the layman could not understand, Hill works out several possible propulsion systems for these mysterious craft.

1948 HUMANOID REPORTS

Compiled by

Albert Rosales

[e-mail]

1948 Humanoid Reports. During the early years it was said that many reports describing humanoid or entities related to UFOs were routinely discarded by investigators, why? Maybe they were not ready for such bizarre reports; their realm only included flying discs and mysterious lights in the sky. Reality was slowly creeping in on them, as we shall see. Following is a list of Humanoid encounters for 1948.
Dead aliens?

1.

Location. El Paso Texas

Date: 1948

Time: unknown

A doctor was returning home on horseback when suddenly the horse stopped, head erect and nostrils wide. The animal’s body began to quiver and its eyes popped out as if it was seeing something not yet visible to its rider. Moments later the horse began to whine strangely as a being described as beautiful, human like with a youthful face and golden hair appeared on the road just ahead. The being wore celestial green colored garments and was enveloped in a soft golden aura. He had penetrating blue eyes. The being did not speak as it kept pace with the horse when it started walking again. The doctor briefly closed his eyes and thanked God for the experience, when he opened his eyes again the angelic being disappeared.

While strolling near a creek one morning, Mr. Ottaviano A. Souza Bueno observed the silent descent of a round luminous object on one of the banks of the stream. There emerged from it 3 creatures of less than medium height, with extremely rapid movements, who started collecting samples of soil, using a tube which made holes in the ground. After the UFO had left, the witness went to the spot and found that all the holes were perfectly square. He took a sample and had it analyzed; the result was, Silica, 61% Aluminum, 19%, Magnesium, 11%, Iron and other trace elements, 9%.

Time: noon

9-year old Linda was heading for home during the dinner break with a school friend when she became aware of a distinct humming sound. Linda glanced upwards to the source of the and was amazed to what she saw. Not one, but four UFOs. Two were saucer shaped and two like elongated cigars. The girls were so excited by this that they jumped up and down and waved towards the objects. Linda recalls figures waving back in response, but were to far away to describe them. The objects were very low down, almost at roof height, hovering. The saucers had windows all around the circumference separated by upright flashing bars. The cigars however had windows only at the front. Linda felt that the UFOs were deliberately watching them. Suddenly one of the cigar shaped objects, which had been hanging back swooped down, and immediately all four UFOs rose upwards and disappeared through the clouds.
