Location. Woking-Guildford Surrey England

Date: January 1968

Time: night

A young man, "Peter," was sitting with his girlfriend in a parked car and saw a "shadow" behind nearby trees. As he started to get out of the car, this shadow glided to a new position about 20 ft away. Between 4 and 5 ft tall, it was "too squat and square" to be a man, and moved soundlessly. It appeared to have no legs. Peter and the girl drove off quickly. At the same site two weeks later, an unpleasantly pungent odor was detected, although nothing unusual was observed.

Arriving late at home the witness noticed three humanoid figures wearing white inflated "snowsuits" with black belts. The figures were standing by the mailbox and appeared to be tampering with it. The witness entered her house and did not investigate further. Later neighbors told her that they had seen mysterious lights rising from fields behind the farm.

Emma Grimble, an early riser, was sweeping the upper hallway of her lodging home when she heard a commotion downstairs at the tenant's mailboxes. Yelling "Get away from those mailboxes," she rushed downstairs, but was dumbfounded to see two little greenish yellow "men" or creatures clambering around the boxes, attaching themselves to the wall by "suction hands and feet." They glistened like metal, possibly wearing flexible, tight fitting metallic clothing. At her appearance, the two little creatures rushed to the door, and she heard quite a scrambling around; as if there may have been 5 or 6 of them.

A night security officer was conducting his rounds when he came upon a flat pancake shaped object resting on a courtyard. He approached and could see that it had a transparent dome on top and a circular railing around it. Next to the object were two human-like figures wearing blue overalls and black helmets and gloves. Inside the dome a third figure was moving. The two beings outside seemed to be performing some repairs on the object. The witness walked up in order to offer his help and shone a flashlight at the object. The two figures suddenly scrambled into the object, which emitted a bright, flash and took off.

The witness, Linda was on her way to Junior Achievement class when suddenly bright lights in the sky attracted her. Looking up she saw a hovering elongated cigar shaped object with bright flashing lights. She watched as it descended several hundred feet from her and hovered about 150 feet from the ground. The object made no noise and had a solid row of red and green lights going on and off in sequence along its midsection. It also had five steady bright white lights evenly spaced along the top section. Linda advanced closer to the object just before it rose up, leveled off and moved away into the distance. At the same time she saw a tall man in a dark coat and a dark brimmed hat who was standing close to the object. When she called out to him, he turned and ran down a darkened street.

The real "Heaven's Gate"
27.

Location. Longleat Estate England

Date: January 18 1968

Time: 2100

Bob Strong received a strange phone call, urging him to be at "Heaven's Gate," on the Longleat Estate, at 2100 on the 18th. He drove there with Sybil Champion, and they saw a UFO land on the estate. They went to the site & found that the UFO was no larger than a soup plate. Down a fine golden ladder climbed more than 24 4" tall humanoids, which then "grew" to normal size, shook hands with the witnesses, & engaged them in conversation. Strong was invited to take a ride in the saucer; with the crewmembers, shrank to 4" size and climbed up the ladder. The ship rose with a whistling noise, "becoming larger." Sybil waited 8 hours, after which the UFO returned & let Strong out, still diminutive; he regained his normal height as he walked toward Sybil. As to the voyage, all he was "permitted" to tell Shuttlewood was that it concerned "the inner core or central ball of Earth."

John E., driving home, saw a round, saucer shaped object with a dull aluminum finish hovering over a pond 100-200 ft away. Its top section was transparent, and he could see two men, normal in every description and wearing light gray coveralls, as well as levers and little lights, as on a computer. Under hypnosis, he remembered, "hearing" them talk; they were engaged in fixing something and hurried when they saw him watching. In subsequent hypnotic sessions, he recalled being led into the UFO by a slender man in black; inside were 4 seats on pedestals, looking at the light hurt his eyes. He was sent by elevator into the room where the repair was going on; the men spoke to each other in English, and he was instructed to sit in a chair that rendered him immobile. There was a time lapse of several hours between his leaving work and his returning home.

Axel Aberg Cobo, a Professor of Human Relations and Journalism, was walking along the beach when a silver colored, luminous object emerged from the ocean 25 yards away, and he felt as though paralyzed. Shortly after, two "men" over 6 ft tall, "who looked as though they were made of crystal," walked up to him stiffly, without bending their knees. He felt as if they were communicating with him telepathically. They greeted him by touching shoulders, and one of the beings, which had introduced himself as "Rubinako," said to him, "Krebs, Navis, Karsicujo and Krero." Cobo noted these words down, writing with a ballpoint pen on his bare arms and legs. Then they told him they would meet him again in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. He had a vague recollection that the craft took off vertically.

Two men reported seeing a disc shaped craft land on a nearby field. Several undescribed entities emerged and apparently placed probes into the hides of several paralyzed cows on the field. The entities returned back into the object, which took off, showering sparks into the ground, which condensed into a thick fog, which fell over the men causing their skins to tingle. The object entered a cloud and disappeared.

Two 15-year old boys were packing snow on the bank of the frozen Mohawk River when they saw a glowing fireball "about the size of a basketball" rise from an island in the river. It hovered for some moments & disappeared. One boy thought he could distinguish a white-suited human form behind a bush. They ran home. The next morning, 300 yards away, a 16-year old was found frozen to death on the ice of the river.

A quick tip to Lanulos...
33.

Location. Near Adelphi Maryland

Date: February 1968

Time: night

After work Sunday, a friend dropped off the witness at home. As the friend pulled away, a large black car with its lights out glided out of the shadows and halted at the curb. The entity called Vadig then called out to the witness from the car. Another man was in the car. The witness later recalled only that he wore a gray coat, had black hair, and never spoke. The witness got into the car. The car was a very old Buick, but was very well kept, it looked brand new, and it even smelled brand new. They drove for about 30 minutes to a remote spot on a back road. When the witness got out of the car he was astonished to see an egg shaped object waiting for them. Inside the object he was put into a circular room containing nothing but a couple of bucket seats and a gray TV screen. Vadig and his companion disappeared into another part of the craft. After a few minutes the TV screen came alive, the object shuddered, and the witness watched the image of the earth receding to a tiny speck on the screen. Three or four hours passed. It seemed like hours before another planet appeared on the screen, it grew larger, and then the craft landed with a thump. The young witness found himself in a place no too unlike the Earth. He and Vadig got into a wheel less vehicle that traveled along a kind of through. "This is Lanulos," Vadig announced with pride in his voice. Their vehicle traveled through a large city with low, flat buildings and signs written in some kind of Oriental looking characters. The people, male and female, were all nude. After the tour, they returned to the egg-shaped craft and took off again. The witness sat alone in the same circular room watching the television screen for hours. Finally they arrived back on Earth at the same place from which they had left. The witness, Vadig, and the silent man returned to the old Buick and drove for about 30 minutes until they reached his apartment house. "I'll see you in time," Vadig declared, the car drove off. To the witness amazement the whole trip, including the 30-minute rides to and from the object, had taken less than two hours.

In a rural area a couple were getting ready to go to sleep when the husband decided to look outside to check road conditions. He was then astounded when he saw a huge oval shaped craft hovering near a pond, the craft had several prong-like probes protruding out, and one was directly in front of the window. The husband then yelled to his wife and both watched the object. The craft was dark gray metallic with a large dome on top. It gave the impression that it was old and ancient. The bottom of the object appeared concaved. There was a white light that illuminated the object entirely and the witness could now see a catwalk on the middle of the object. There was a single human like figure standing on the catwalk and was looking directly at the witness. The witness could also see opened portholes from which multicolored lights emerged, what appeared to be instrument panels and other figures could be seen inside the object. Another figure had now come out to the catwalk and was apparently talking to the other one. The object eventually moved slowly away rising up out of sight shining a bright beam of light at the witnesses who briefly followed it in their vehicle.

Serafin Vieria Sebastiao, a sentry, after noticing interference on his transistor radio, saw a UFO so close to the ground that he could see four of its occupants; the object was oval, metallic, and topped by a transparent "tower" with a small balustrade on which two beings were leaning; the other two could be seen as silhouettes inside the transparent tower. After telephoning another sentry, he approached the craft and shone his flashlight on it. At this he was enveloped in a sort of smoke or dust emitted by the UFO, and fell to the ground in a faint, where the other sentry found him a few minutes later.

The witness, a 12-year-old girl, heard a "bloop-bloop" noise and looked out her window; she saw a white egg shaped object, a little larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground beside the disused Winsted railroad station. A ray of light came out of the craft, pointed downward, and 15-20 little men about 3 ft tall walked in single file down this ray and jumped to the ground. They were dressed in dull silver clothing and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They proceeded to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with a hand over hand movement; when they reached the roof, they spread out in different directions. The girl became frightened and went to bed.

The witness suddenly found himself onboard a silvery metallic crescent shaped craft with windows going all the way around. Inside he saw two seats in front of a dashboard and the seats swiveled around, they were high backed and large. On the dashboard there was what appeared to be a television set. There was another couch like seat around the backside. He has a memory of talking to several undescribed beings that were "engineers." The beings explained how they operated the craft. They said that a band around the middle of the craft had a magnetic force that kept them from hitting others. He was shown other craft, some were powered by solar, and others were run by something resembling a gyroscope. He does not recall additional details.

The two witnesses were in their car waiting for a third party to arrive, when one of them observed a bright white light moving among some trees. The other witness turned to look but the light had disappeared. After a few minutes they both saw the white light. They watched the light move to the edge of the woods. At this point they saw a figure come out of the woods. It looked like a small glowing humanoid, very bright, resembling a fluorescent light. They could not see any details as far as facial features and clothing. The being moved about very quickly and then went back into the woods. They both watched the bright white light moving away among the trees.

The witness was coming back home from work late one night when he noticed something whisk across his windshield. At first he thought it was a bird, but was not sure. When he looked over on the side of the road, he saw a very tall man-like figure. Just then, a flash of light came from the being and it was gone. One month later, his right ear (the ear closest to the flash) went deaf for no apparent reason and still is.

Ricardo Castillo Trujillo, a janitor, saw a long, very bright UFO; making a noise like an electric motor, land in an isolated section of the city. Two crewmembers dressed in aluminum colored uniforms emerged; although they were light skinned, the witness could not see any facial details. Speaking in strange, echo-like voices, they inquired about his myopic vision, promising him that the condition would be cured. "I didn't understand them too good," he said, "but the fact is that I can see real good, and without glasses." The humanoids promised to return for the witness.

Young Gregory L Wells was returning from his grandmother's house to his own home, next door, when he saw an oval UFO hovering just over some trees. The large red object was so bright that it illuminated the road, according to Mrs. James E Wells the boy's mother. It had a band of dimmer red lights flashing around its center. "I stopped," Gregory recalled. "I wanted to run or scream but suddenly a big tube came out of the bottom, which moved from side to side until it came to me, and a beam of light shot out." Gregory turned away as the light beam hit the upper part of his arm, knocking him to the ground. His jacket caught fire and the boy rolled around on the ground screaming with fright. Both his mother and grandmother responded. Mrs. James Wells also reported seeing the UFO, which "just faded away." During the sighting, a large night light on a nearby pole went out. And the dog barked uncontrollably.
