At 3:00am on March 25, 1950, news cameraman Enrique Hausmann Muller observed and
photographed a huge, rotating greenish-orange globe in the night sky. It had a fiery Saturn-like ring
of vapor or mist surrounding its middle, and had great shooting tongues of flame jetting from the
edges of the ring, exactly like a huge 4th of July Catherine's Wheel. It emitted a loud drone as it
passed at low level over the island of Majorca. Its speed was estimated at up to 400mph , but Muller

Mutilations are differentiated from accidental or predatory death
for several reasons. Chief among them is the manner in which the
flesh has been removed from the body. Cauterization (the fusing of
tissue and blood vessels by heat or chemical means) seems to be
typical of mutilations. Unlike animal attack, the flesh, adjoining
the area where it has been removed, is smooth and clean as if cut
with a searing or laser scalpel. As well, the areas chosen for
removal are quite strange. Mainly the sexual, anterior digestive
tract and sensory organs are affected.(No predator
differentiates so precisely). Still, no tracks of any kind can be
found around the mutilation site, except, sometimes, tripod marks.
Also, no carrion eaters will touch the mutilated cow even though it
has plenty of flesh still left to be eaten.

As well, her rectum and sexual organs were cored out of the pelvic
cavity. Expert analysis revealed that this animal had been
mutilated. Normal predation indicators (bite marks, etc.) were
not present, and the cutting instrument used had to have generated
sufficient heat for cauterization (fusing of tissue and blood
vessels by heat or chemical means).

On April 24, 1959, Helio Aguiar, a 32 year old statistician employed by a banking firm in Bahia
Brazil, was riding an Army Captain friend's new motorcycle along the highway to Itapoan on a trial
run to appreciate the Captain's recent purchase. As he came to the stretch of highway passing
Piata Beach in the Amaralina district, the machine seemed to be losing power and he looked
around in dismay. Suddenly he noticed a big silvery-gray disc approaching in his direction from out
over the water. It was shaped something like a cardinal's hat (Catholic Priest) with a number of
"windows" or ports of some kind visible around a high raised dome on the top side. As it flew along
it changed its pitch angle and he could see the underside and that there were some strange
markings or symbols on the bottom of the rim there. He could not make out what letters they were.
By this time the motorcycle had almost no power at all and the engine just quit. He put the kick-
stand down and got off to check it, noticing the Captain's camera strapped to the luggage carrier on
the back of the machine. Looking back at the flying object he saw that it was much closer, then
thinking of the camera he untied it and opened it up to take a picture of this strange airplane. He
adjusted the settings and took four shots in rapid succession as the object made a sweeping turn
from the sea toward him over the surf line. He began to feel a strange pressure in his brain, and a
state of progressive confusion overtook him. He felt vaguely as though instructed by somebody to
write something down. As he was winding the film for the 4th picture he lost all sense of what was
happening and does not remember snapping it. The next thing Aguiar knew he was slumped over
the motorcycle and the UFO was gone. In his hand he held a slip of paper with some words in his
own handwriting on it. It said: "Put an absolute stop to all atomic tests for warlike purposes. The
balance of the Universe is threatened. we shall remain vigilant and ready to intervene."

If not for the intrepid work of Dr. Colin Andrew and his
associates, little would be known of this most amazing evidence of
extraterrestrial contact. Previous to his work, it was thought
that these formations were the effects of unstudied weather
phenomena, such as funnels and wind devils. Others argued that
these crop circles and patterns were the products of elaborate
hoaxes. And, because it had begun to happen around the world
(Australia, US, and England), all except otherworldly forces could be ruled out.
Like the plaques on the Voyager spacecraft which in mathematical
terms say hello to whoever may find them, these crop patterns
depict complex mathematical, chemical and atomic scientific
concepts, possibly in hopes that we will understand and try to
communicate in like manner. After all, the ancients across the
globe once painted the ground with amazing pictograms, such as the
Nazca lines, that could only be seen in their entirety from
above.
Besides the communicative aspect of the patterns, a strange
chemical process is undergone by the wheat that has been patterned.
Their once irregular carbon structure has become crystallized.
Yet, the plants continue to grow.
Hopefully, with the dedication of scientists like Dr. Andrews, we
may one day fully understand what is taking place.

The farmer Lievko Fiedorov, from the village of Mys, has related to me the following facts:
On this Saturday, the 15th day of August of the year 1663, the faithful from the district of Bieloziero
had assembled in great number in the church of the village of Roboziero. While they were inside a
great sound arose in the heavens and numerous people came out of God's house to watch it from
the square. There, Lievko Fiedorov, the farmer in question, was among them and witnessed what
follows which for him was a sign from God.
At noon a large ball of fire came down over Roboziero, arriving from the clearest part of the cloudless
heavens. It came from the direction whence winter comes, and it moved toward the lake passing
over the church. The ball of fire measured some 140ft from one edge to the other and over the same
distance, ahead of it, two ardent rays extended.
Less than an hour later, it suddenly reappeared over the same lake. It darted from the south to the
west and must have been 1500ft away when it disappeared. But it came back again, to the great
terror of all those who watched it, moving to the west and remainig over Roboziero for an hour and a
half.
Fishermen who were in their boat on the lake, a little over one mile away, were deeply burned by the
heat. The waters of the lake were illuminated to their greatest depth of 30ft and the fish swam away
to the shore. The water seemed to be covered with rust under the reddish light," from the St. Cyril

"On April 11, 1964, my wife, two children and I were having a
picnic supper on a hill 1,800ft above sea level, about 10 miles
northwest of Homer, New York. It was 6:30pm. Several jet bombers
had left vapor trails up high, traveling from west to east, but
these trails quickly disappeared... there appeared what I thought
was a very large jet trail from northeast to southwest. It was
very white and wide and at the southwest end there was a break on
the trail of about one mile. Then a very black spiral formation of
what appeared to be smoke appeared, about one mile long...
Approximately 10 minutes had now passed and it suddenly occurred to
me that the black spiral cloud had slowly moved to the west while
the white trail had drifted south. Also, the cloud became much
darker and we all observed this. At this point, I took my 6X25
binoculars to observe it and was shocked to see wisps of smoke
actually streaming out of the black cloud--almost boiling out....
Suddenly the black cloud, still retaining its spiral shape, changed
from the horizontal position with greater smoke activity and
resembled a smoking plane still falling from the sky, at the same
time assuming a shape not unlike a banana. Then, it no longer
seemed to be falling, but simply stopped and hung there for two or
three minutes and then very slowly seemed to sink into the clouds
and was obliterated... my daughter suddenly exclaimed, `There's
another one.' It appeared as a horizontal pencil shaped object.
It was impossible to determine the length, but it could have been
as large as a submarine. It moved from the left of the horizon to
the right... there was a flash of white light from the rear of it
and it shot forward with incredible speed for a distance of about
five times its length and as suddenly stopped, still maintaining
the pencil shape, apparently hovering... This whole episode took
place in about 45 minutes, and ended just about dusk. If it were
not for the fact that all four of us observed this event I would
hesitate to bring this to your attention," a physiotherapist wrote

"Three investigators for the air police arrived at Quarouble, Nord,
yesterday to interrogate M. Marius Dewilde, the man who saw two
`Martians' near his back yard gate. They left the village with the
assurance that during the night of Friday to Saturday, a mysterious
craft had landed, as claimed by M. Dewilde, on the railroad tracks
of the line Saint-Armand-Blanc-Misseron, near the railroad crossing
no. 79.
Their inquiries seem, in effect, to confirm the statement made by
the metal worker. The witness has declared that Friday, about
10:30pm, he had seen a machine of an elongated shape, three meters
high, six meters long, sitting on the tracks a few meters away from
his house. Two entities of human appearance, of very small height
and apparently wearing diving suits, could be seen nearby. M.
Dewilde walked toward them, but at this moment a beam of greenish
light was focused on him from the craft and he found himself
paralyzed. When he was able to move again the machine had started
to rise and the two entities had disappeared.
The investigators have found not trace of the existence of these
entities. The ground, examined meter by meter, does not show
traces of footsteps. However, one of the sleepers on the tracks
showed traces that could have been made by a machine landing on it.
In five places the wood of the sleepers is tapped on a surface of
about four square centimeters. These markings have all the same
appearance and they lie symmetrically, on one line. Three of
them--those in the middle--are separated by an interval of 43cm.
The last two are 67cm away from the preceding ones.
A craft that would land on legs instead of wheels like our own
aircraft would not leave other traces, one of the inspectors of the
air police has declared.
The narrative made by M. Dewilde is also confirmed by several
inhabitants of the region. In Onnaing, a young man called M.
Edmond Auverlot and a retired man, M. Hublard, have seen about
10:30pm (the time indicated by M. Dewilde) a reddish light
traveling in the sky. The same light has been seen from Vicoq by
three young men," taken from "France-Soir."

"My eyes were caught by a sort of mound, two hundred yards away in
a field. It looked something like an unfinished haystack, with an
upside-down plate on top.
`That's a queer color for a haystack,' I said to Yves, `look at
it.'
All of a sudden I noticed that the haystack was moving a little,
with a slight swing back and forth, like an oscillation. We both
rushed toward the mysterious object. When we got close the object
took off on a slant, traveled diagonally upward for about 50ft and
then began to go straight up. We watched it for three minutes.
The object was about 30ft in diameter," an anonymous witness

"It was about five in the afternoon. Emerging from the thick layer
that looked like a storm coming up, we saw a sort of luminous
blue-violet mist, of a regular shape something like a cigar or a
carrot. Actually, the object came out of the layer of clouds in an
almost horizontal position, slightly tilted toward the ground and
pointing forward, like a submerging submarine.
This luminous cloud appeared rigid. Whenever it moved, its
movements had no connection with the movements of the clouds, and
it moved all of a piece, as if it were actually some gigantic
machine surrounded by mist. It came down rather fast from the
ceiling of clouds to an altitude which we thought was perhaps a
half-mile above us. Then it stopped, and the point rose quickly
until the object was in the vertical position, where it became
motionless.
During this time the dark clouds went on scudding across the sky,
dimly lighted from underneath by the violet luminosity of the
object. It was an extraordinary sight, and we watched it intently.
All over the countryside other farmers had also dropped their tools
and were staring up at the sky like us.
All at once white smoke exactly like a vapor trail came from the
lower end of the cloud. At first it pointed to the ground but
finally rose up to describe around the vertical object an ascending
spiral. While the rear of the trail was dissolving in the air and
being carried off by the wind, the source of the trail went up to
the very top of the vertical object and then started to come down
again, turning in the other direction. Only then, after the smoke
trail had vanished entirely, could we see the object that was
sowing it--a little metallic disc, reflecting in its rapid
movements flashes of light from the huge vertical object. The
little disc then stopped turning around the luminous cloud and went
down toward the ground again, this time moving away. For quite a
few minutes we could see it flying low over the valley, darting
here and there at great speed, sometimes speeding up, then stopping
for a few seconds, then going on again, flying in every direction
between villages that were four miles apart. Finally, when it was
almost a mile from the vertical object it made a final dash toward
it at headlong speed and disappeared like a shooting star into the
lower part, where it had first come out. Perhaps a minute later
the carrot leaned over as it began to move, accelerated and
disappeared into the clouds on the distance. The whole thing
lasted about half an hour," a farmer who witnessed the event
recalled.

"I had been watching this amazing spectacle for a couple of minutes
when suddenly from the bottom of the cigar came an object like a
horizontal disc, which dropped at first in free fall, then slowed,
and suddenly swayed and dived horizontally across the river toward
me, becoming very luminous. For a very short time I could see the
disc full-face; it was surrounded by a halo of brilliant light.
A few minutes after it had disappeared behind me, going southwest
at a prodigious speed, a similar object came from the cigar and
went through the same maneuvers. A third object came, then a
fourth. There was then a long interval, and finally a fifth disc
detached itself from the cigar, which was still motionless. This
last disc dropped much lower than the earlier ones, to the level of
the new bridge, where it remained still for an instant swaying
slightly. At that time I could see very clearly its circular form
and its red luminosity--more intense at the center, fading out at
the edges--and the glowing halo surrounding it. After a few
seconds' pause, it wobbled like the first four, and took off like
a flash toward the north, where it was lost in the distance as it
gained altitude. During this time the luminosity of the cigar had
faded, and the gigantic object, which may have been 300ft long, had
sunk into darkness. The spectacle had lasted about 3/4 of an
hour," Vernon businessman M. Bernard Misery recalled.

Director of Civil Aviation, Mr. T.P. Drury and his wife observed and photographed a strange UFO that
materialized in a clear cloudless sky. Drury was taking movies of a native boy spearing fish when
his wife noticed a wisp of cloud forming in the clear sky. Together they stood there and watched it
build into a thick white mass of cumulus cloud. There were no other clouds in the sky at the time.
Because of his interest in meteorological phenomena, Drury rotated the telephoto lens of his French
movie camera into position and started to film the funny cloud. Suddenly, as they watched, a
silvery dart shot out of the cloud and upwards at a steep 45 degree angle. The UFO was elongated,
like a bullet, and subtended about 1" at arm's length. It was sharper in the front and appeared
truncated at the rear though the tail was partly obscured by a vapor trail. It was metallic and flashed
in the sun, and was very clear and sharp visually. No wings or fins were visible. It was traveling at
an incredible speed, at least five times the speed of a jet plane at the speed of sound. It
disappeared going up and away in the clear blue sky. The object was completely silent. The
original cloud was at that time about 50 degrees above the horizon to the southwest, towards
Napanapa. There was nothing by which to estimate altitude and distance.

Mutilations are differentiated from accidental or predatory death
for several reasons. Chief among them is the manner in which the
flesh has been removed from the body. Cauterization (the fusing of
tissue and blood vessels by heat or chemical means) seems to be
typical of mutilations. Unlike animal attack, the flesh, adjoining
the area where it has been removed, is smooth and clean as if cut
with a searing or laser scalpel. As well, the areas chosen for
removal are quite strange. Mainly the sexual, anterior digestive
tract and sensory organs are affected. (No predator
differentiates so precisely). Still, no tracks of any kind can be
found around the mutilation site, except, sometimes, tripod marks.
Also, no carrion eaters will touch the mutilated cow even though it
has plenty of flesh still left to be eaten.

At around midday on the 11th of July, 1977, Herr Dieter Croll was walking through a country area near Wurzburg when he suddenly spotted a shiny, silver metallic looking object flying in the clear blue sky. The flying machine looked like a thick disc with full rounded rim edges. It was flat on the bottom and had a curved dome with a prominent cupola on top. The cupola was wide and nearly flat at its top. The whole thing appeared opaque and solid, and it looked as though it could have been made in one piece. It had no visible windows, ports, or protrusions breaking its smooth contours. Its finish was highly reflective, like polished chrome or a mirror.
The disc was seven to 10m in diameter and was moving in and out of scattered small white clouds with bases at between 3,000 and 4,000ft above the ground. The wind was light and the atmosphere clear of haze and smoke.
Dieter Croll prepared his camera and snapped six good photographs of the object as he watched it move in the sky above him.

At about 3:30pm on July 11th 1977, Sr. Hector Rufino Delgado, 29, a horticulturist, was working in his greenhouse at the rear of his home in Floridad, Uruguay. It was a magnificent day with an almost clear blue sky, and the temperature, in spite of the winter season, was almost spring-like. A light breeze was blowing in from the east.
Suddenly, Sr. Delgado heard a high pitched humming sound, "Something like that produced by an electric motor, or a ventilator." He nevertheless paid little attention to the noise and continued with his work. The humming increased in intensity, but a few seconds later it decreased until it was almost imperceptible. In less than a minute, the humming came back to audible level again and increased once more. This time its tone was a little sharper. "It was not constant, but its intensity increased and decreased perceptibly, and the same with the tone," said Sr. Delgado.
The witness began to wonder about the possible origin of the sound. He laid down the tools he was using and went to the doorway to look out. He saw, some 200m from his position and no more than 50m above the ground, a silver disc-shaped object moving smoothly, suspended in the air. "I was slow to react; never had the thought occurred to me that I might encounter a thing like this... but there it was, swinging gently as it balanced itself in the air a few meters above the ground," assured the witness.
After a few moments of indecision, Rufino ran to the house to get his camera. He grabbed the camera and raced back, fearing the strange object might leave. "I ran as fast as I was able. When I was looking for my camera in my house, I wondered if it would really be worth while to photograph the object, or whether it would be there when I came out of the house and got back. However from the doorway of my house, I saw it again, no longer suspended motionless in the air, but moving very slowly toward the south."
He barely arrived back out at the greenhouse when he stopped to take a picture, but he saw that some trees would be in the way. He ran to a better location. "When I took the first photograph the UFO was still moving very slowly toward the south, but I had barely snapped it when the object drastically altered its velocity and trajectory and commenced some climbing maneuvers as it increased its elevation above the ground," declared the witness.

He spotted six, luminous spherical craft with hazy rings around them flying in a trail high in the sky above him. He grabbed his camera and shot a picture. He was only able to get four of the six objects in the image frame.
Two weeks later, on July 23rd, he had another encounter of what looked to him like the same or very similar aircraft. He was again flying his airplane out of Morristown and was at 6,000ft.
"While my eyes played over the horizon, I became aware of a shaft of light that seemed like that of a photographer's flash bulb. It came from aloft, very high up. It was above that position over my plane's nose that flier's call 11 o'clock. At first I thought it was merely the reflected sun bouncing off the sides of an exceedingly high flying aircraft. I gave it no more thought. But then the engine of my own plane began to perform peculiarly. It coughed and sputtered spasmodically. So I pulled on the carburetor heat and gave it full throttle hoping to thaw any ice that might be accumulating in the carburetor. The engine emitted one final wheezing cough and then quit. Now, the nose of my plane, instead of dropping to a normal glide, remained... rigid... fixed on the horizon, in its normal level flight attitude.
Abruptly, I became aware that my plane was now defying the basic law of gravity. I became frightened and close to panic at so weird a predicament. I saw that the airspeed indicator was at zero! There was now an odd prickling, electric-like sensation coursing through my body. I had an eerie feeling that I was being watched and examined by something that minutely studied my features, my clothing, and my airplane... I flicked a cold bead of perspiration from my eye. Then I saw it! Above and slightly beyond my left wing tip was a strange wraith-like craft. One of the flying objects! Its flanged and protecting rim was dotted on either side with steamer-like portholes. It seemed to radiate a dull metallic hue that conveyed an impression of natural strength, and a super-intelligence not of this planet. It was motionless. Perhaps a quarter of a mile away... beyond, and slightly higher, I could see another (similar) object, seemingly fixed in the sky. I assumed that the second strange ship was but waiting for the one nearest me to complete its examination. Then I had the most unaccountable urge to reach up and snap on the magneto switch. I had turned it off when the engine quit. I switched both magnetos to the on position. Slowly the propeller began to turn... then the engine burst into a steady rhythmic roar. The plane nosed up into a stall, dropped off, picked up airspeed and steadied under control," recalled Mr. Janssen.

"Although it appeared stationary," Lars Thorn said, "It wobbled or rocked to and fro all the time. On the upper side there appeared to be a dome. Just below the dome there was something gray and red, and again just below that, I could see what looked like a green ribbon or band around the rim. The very bottom was red. A whizzing sound came from it at intervals of 10 to 15 seconds on more or less regular spacing." Thorn was able to snap two black and white photographs with his small camera.

"On April 11, 1964, my wife, two children and I were having a

northwest of Homer, New York. It was 6:30pm. Several jet bombers
had left vapor trails up high, traveling from west to east, but
these trails quickly disappeared... There appeared what I thought
was a very large jet trail from northeast to southwest. It was
very white and wide and at the southwest end there was a break on
the trail of about one mile. Then a very black spiral formation of
what appeared to be smoke appeared, about one mile long...
Approximately 10 minutes had now passed and it suddenly occurred to
me that the black spiral cloud had slowly moved to the west while
the white trail had drifted south. Also, the cloud became much
darker and we all observed this. At this point, I took my 6X25
binoculars to observe it and was shocked to see wisps of smoke
actually streaming out of the black cloud--almost boiling out....
Suddenly the black cloud, still retaining its spiral shape, changed
from the horizontal position with greater smoke activity and
resembled a smoking plane still falling from the sky, at the same
time assuming a shape not unlike a banana. Then, it no longer
seemed to be falling, but simply stopped and hung there for two or
three minutes and then very slowly seemed to sink into the clouds
and was obliterated... My daughter suddenly exclaimed, `There's
another one.' It appeared as a horizontal pencil shaped object.
It was impossible to determine the length, but it could have been
as large as a submarine. It moved from the left of the horizon to
the right... there was a flash of white light from the rear of it
and it shot forward with incredible speed for a distance of about
five times its length and as suddenly stopped, still maintaining
the pencil shape, apparently hovering... This whole episode took
place in about 45 minutes, and ended just about dusk. If it were

seemed to be over Wyalong, it was so high up and so far away. It
was stationary.I said to the others--there were seven of
us--`Get a load of this.' One man is short-sighted. Another who
is could not pick up the object. But four others did, and watched
it off and on for over an hour, possibly two hours. I saw one
object leave the first object and go to the left, and later two
objects go to the right., then come back... The objects I saw
leaving the stationary object seemed round. But when the one I saw
leave it on the left came overhead as it went towards Young I could
see it seemed to be V-shaped. I do not know what I saw, but I know
that when the objects left the stationary object on the right-hand
side they went out to the side and then went straight up fast. The

"Three investigators for the air police arrived at Quarouble, Nord,
yesterday to interrogate M. Marius Dewilde, the man who saw two
`Martians' near his back yard gate. They left the village with the
assurance that during the night of Friday to Saturday, a mysterious
craft had landed, as claimed by M. Dewilde, on the railroad tracks
of the line Saint-Armand-Blanc-Misseron, near the railroad crossing
no. 79.
Their inquiries seem, in effect, to confirm the statement made by
the metal worker. The witness has declared that Friday, about
10:30pm, he had seen a machine of an elongated shape, three meters
high, six meters long, sitting on the tracks a few meters away from
his house. Two entities of human appearance, of very small height
and apparently wearing diving suits, could be seen nearby. M.
Dewilde walked toward them, but at this moment a beam of greenish
light was focused on him from the craft and he found himself
paralyzed. When he was able to move again the machine had started
to rise and the two entities had disappeared.
The investigators have found not one trace of the existence of these
entities. The ground, examined meter by meter, does not show
traces of footsteps. However, one of the sleepers (railroad car designed for overnight travel) on the tracks
showed traces that could have been made by a machine landing on it.
In five places the wood of the sleepers is tapped on a surface of
about four square centimeters. These markings have all the same
appearance and they lie symmetrically, on one line. Three of
them--those in the middle--are separated by an interval of 43cm.
The last two are 67cm away from the preceding ones.
A craft that would land on legs instead of wheels like our own
aircraft would not leave other traces, one of the inspectors of the
air police has declared.
The narrative made by M. Dewilde is also confirmed by several
inhabitants of the region. In Onnaing, a young man called M.
Edmond Auverlot and a retired man, M. Hublard, have seen about
10:30pm (the time indicated by M. Dewilde) a reddish light
traveling in the sky. The same light has been seen from Vicoq by
three young men," taken from "France-Soir."

All of a sudden I noticed that the haystack was moving a little,
with a slight swing back and forth, like an oscillation. We both
rushed toward the mysterious object. When we got close the object

"It was about five in the afternoon. Emerging from the thick layer
that looked like a storm coming up, we saw a sort of luminous
blue-violet mist, of a regular shape something like a cigar or a
carrot. Actually, the object came out of the layer of clouds in an
almost horizontal position, slightly tilted toward the ground and
pointing forward, like a submerging submarine.
This luminous cloud appeared rigid. Whenever it moved, its
movements had no connection with the movements of the clouds, and
it moved all of a piece, as if it were actually some gigantic
machine surrounded by mist. It came down rather fast from the
ceiling of clouds to an altitude which we thought was perhaps a
half-mile above us. Then it stopped, and the point rose quickly
until the object was in the vertical position, where it became
motionless.
During this time the dark clouds went on scudding across the sky,
dimly lighted from underneath by the violet luminosity of the
object. It was an extraordinary sight, and we watched it intently.
All over the countryside other farmers had also dropped their tools
and were staring up at the sky like us.
All at once white smoke exactly like a vapor trail came from the
lower end of the cloud. At first it pointed to the ground but
finally rose up to describe around the vertical object an ascending
spiral. While the rear of the trail was dissolving in the air and
being carried off by the wind, the source of the trail went up to
the very top of the vertical object and then started to come down
again, turning in the other direction. Only then, after the smoke
trail had vanished entirely, could we see the object that was
sowing it--a little metallic disc, reflecting in its rapid
movements flashes of light from the huge vertical object. The
little disc then stopped turning around the luminous cloud and went
down toward the ground again, this time moving away. For quite a
few minutes we could see it flying low over the valley, darting
here and there at great speed, sometimes speeding up, then stopping
for a few seconds, then going on again, flying in every direction
between villages that were four miles apart. Finally, when it was
almost a mile from the vertical object it made a final dash toward
it at headlong speed and disappeared like a shooting star into the
lower part, where it had first come out. Perhaps a minute later
the carrot leaned over as it began to move, accelerated and
disappeared into the clouds on the distance. The whole thing
lasted about half an hour," a farmer who witnessed the event
recalled.

"I had been watching this amazing spectacle for a couple of minutes
when suddenly from the bottom of the cigar came an object like a
horizontal disc, which dropped at first in free fall, then slowed,
and suddenly swayed and dived horizontally across the river toward
me, becoming very luminous. For a very short time I could see the
disc full-face; it was surrounded by a halo of brilliant light.
A few minutes after it had disappeared behind me, going southwest
at a prodigious speed, a similar object came from the cigar and
went through the same maneuvers. A third object came, then a
fourth. There was then a long interval, and finally a fifth disc
detached itself from the cigar, which was still motionless. This
last disc dropped much lower than the earlier ones, to the level of
the new bridge, where it remained still for an instant swaying
slightly. At that time I could see very clearly its circular form
and its red luminosity--more intense at the center, fading out at
the edges--and the glowing halo surrounding it. After a few
seconds' pause, it wobbled like the first four, and took off like
a flash toward the north, where it was lost in the distance as it
gained altitude. During this time the luminosity of the cigar had
faded, and the gigantic object, which may have been 300ft long, had
sunk into darkness. The spectacle had lasted about 3/4 of an
hour," Vernon businessman M. Bernard Misery recalled.

four Press Packs of film with a 4"X5" Speed Graphic camera and one
roll of film in a Bush Pressman camera, and they also shot 35mm
still and 8mm movie film of the spectacular objects. The Speed
Graphic film showed a UFO image larger than 1/4" on one or more of
the plates. Statements were taken from over 20 witnesses. They
described the maneuvers the craft had made over the airfield. Hundreds more such statements could
have been taken that day. Key officers were immediately called to
the Base Theater for a briefing on security, and were then required
to hold similar meetings to advise all base personnel
of their responsibilities in security matters such as this.
Eight copies of the complete classified report were prepared
according to standard instructions and were addressed as required
according to prescribed routing. As far as can be determined, all
the lower echelon copies were subsequently called forward to higher
levels of command and were never returned. All notes, leftover
photos, and other scraps of information from the report were
shredded and burned as soon as the report was assembled. Nothing has ever been seen
of this case outside of the few military men who handled it and
prepared the report. Nothing has ever been released to the public.
This is one of the many reports that never got to Blue Book files.
This information was obtained from a confidential statement by one of the team members.

"Jim Leyden was in the tower and George Conger and myself were outside back-to-back, each watching half the sky, when George Conger suddenly remarked, 'Hey, what the hell is that light out there!' And I turned around and looked, and in the direction of the Empire State Building was a glowing - pulsating - machine in the air; not a light now, a machine. It had a rim spinning in a counter-clockwise direction, and a glowing red dot in the center underside of this spinning rim. The object was anywhere from 50' to 100' in diameter. It's motion in the sky was very 'fluid'. We immediately called the Filter Center, and they saw the object on RADAR. I do have a copy of the RADAR report of it in the New York area that night. We watched it for three to five minutes as it was moving in the sky, and I took two pictures of it. The pictures did not come out well because I had borrowed a camera, a small cheap camera that even turned out to have a sticking shutter, that did not close properly and stuck. I had left my Press Cameras at home -- never dreaming of any eventuality such as now was happening. I can readily assure that, had I had my Press Camera there that night, things with the picture would have been a lot different, because I would have been able to properly photograph something that I know is operating in our skies, and it would have been proof. As it is, this is proof to me. All I have to do is close my eyes and there that object is. My mind is closed to the thought that it can not exist. I just can't accept that, for I KNOW."

They had been driving steadily for some time and pulled off the road for a short rest stop. It was then that Sra. Carrizo noticed a strange aerial vehicle drifting their way. It was a stupendous craft, floating at a steeply inclined angle to the horizon. It was inclined at about 80 degrees above the horizon, sloping only ten degrees from zenith, and was drifting in the air about one hundred meters above the trees. Carrizo estimated the slender cigar-shaped object to be about 200 meters long and 20 meters in diameter. As it got closer he could see that it had a silvery-gray color, and was cylindrical in shape, with a row of six rectangular "windows" along the side which were brightly lighted from inside. The second and third "windows" from the upper end glowed brighter than the others. The light from these panels was so intense that it hurt the eyes to look directly at them.

As he came to the stretch of highway passing Piata Beach in the Amaralina district, the machine seemed to lose power and he looked around in dismay. Suddenly he noticed a big silvery-gray disc approaching from out over the water. It was shaped something like a Cardinal's hat with a number of "windows" or ports of some kind visible around a high raised dome on the top side. As it flew along it changed its pitch angle and he could see the underside. There were some strange markings or symbols. He could not make out what the letters were. By this time the motorcycle had almost no power at all and the engine finally just quit. He put the stand down and got off to check the bike, when he noticed the Captain's camera strapped to the luggage carrier on the back of the machine. Looking back at the flying object he saw that it was much closer. He untied the camera and opened it up to take a picture of the object. He adjusted the settings and took four quick shots as the object made a sweeping turn from sea toward him over the surf line. Then he began to feel a strange pressure in his brain, and a state of progressive confusion overtook him. He felt vaguely as though instructed by somebody to write something down. As he was winding the film for the 4th picture he lost all sense of what was happening and does not remember taking it. The next thing Aguiar knew he was slumped over the motorcycle and the UFO was gone. In his hand he held a slip of paper with some words in his own handwriting on it. It said: "Put an absolute stop to all atomic tests for warlike purposes. The balance of the Universe is threatened. We shall remain vigilant and ready to intervene."

The farmer Lievko Fiedorov, from the village of Mys, has related to me the following facts:
On this Saturday, the 15th day of August of the year 1663, the faithful from the district of Bieloziero had assembled in great number in the church of the village of Roboziero. While they were inside a great sound arose in the heavens and numerous people came out of God's house to watch it from the square. There, Lievko Fiedorov, the farmer in question, was among them and witnessed what follows which for him was a sign from God.
At noon a large ball of fire came down over Roboziero, arriving from the clearest part of the cloudless heavens. It came from the direction whence winter comes, and it moved toward the lake passing over the church. The ball of fire measured some 140ft from one edge to the other and over the same distance, ahead of it, two ardent rays extended.
Less than an hour later, it suddenly reappeared over the same lake. It darted from the south to the west and must have been 1500ft away when it disappeared. But it came back again, to the great terror of all those who watched it, moving to the west and remainig over Roboziero for an hour and a half.
Fishermen who were in their boat on the lake, a little over one mile away, were deeply burned by the heat. The waters of the lake were illuminated to their greatest depth of 30ft and the fish swam away to the shore. The water seemed to be covered with rust under the reddish light," from the St. Cyril monastery records.

The UFO was elongated, like a bullet. It was sharper in the front and appeared truncated at the rear although the tail was partly obscured by a vapor trail. It was metallic and flashed in the sun. No wings or fins were visible. It was traveling at an incredible speed, at least at the speed of sound. It disappeared going up and away in the clear blue sky. The object was completely silent.

Former President Jimmy Carter, while governor of Georgia, reported
seeing an object that he could not identify and thus felt was a
UFO. Mr. Carter was about to speak before the Leary Lions
Club and was standing outside the conference hall.
"It was the darndest thing I've ever seen. It was big; it was very
bright; it changed colors; and it was about the size of the moon.
We watched it for 10 minutes, but none of us could figure out what
it was," Carter said in an interview about the sighting.
Indeed, Mr. Carter, on October 12, 1973, filed an affidavit with
NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomenon),
detailing the event. UFO skeptics believe that President Carter
simply mistook the planet Venus. However, Mr. Carter holds a
masters degree in nuclear physics, from the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, and therefore presumably has a rudimentary knowledge of astronomy.
Several months after taking office, President Carter ordered NASA
(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to evaluate the
need for a new UFO investigation. NASA concluded that no probe was
necessary.

investigated a sighting by a number of individuals in the Springfield
area. A saucer-shaped object with flashing lights had overflown
the city.
Mr. J. Gasslein, a Lt. Colonel in the Army Reserve, saw the saucer shaped object hover about a quarter mile from his house.
"I saw it as an object smaller at the top than at the base,
seemingly suspended in the air at an angle of about 45 degrees from
my position, and giving off colored lights. I know that the object
was not any kind of conventional aircraft or balloon," stated Mr.
Gasslein in his formal report.
A second sighting occurred after Mr. Gasslein drove his mother to her house. Her neighbor, Ms. Barbara Berryman, rushed from her house pointing in the direction of the UFO. "It was moving easterly at a low level--not over 50ft. above
ground level, as judged by trees in that area--the UFO proceeded
slowly without a sound. It was approaching the rear of our home
and adjacent properties. It was perhaps 150 to 200 yards distant,"
Mr. Gasslein said.
"The UFO appeared to be about the size of one of the Cape Cod
houses over which it passed, which would make it approximately
30ft. in diameter, and about the same dimension in height. It was
circular surmounted by a dome giving off flashes of green light.
The center had a rotating series of square shaped `windows,' each
giving off a brilliant white light. The base section was somewhat
saucer shaped, curved upward. Shafts of white light were directed
downward from the base," Mrs. Gasslein reported. The UFO
disappeared after a time. Professor McDonald assessed this sighting as extremely credible.

thought it might be a star but Harold said it was too big for a
star, so we watched it for about 45 minutes. In the meantime the
cow had moved so we started the motor and was moving when the light
began to move. I told Harold to stop and turn the lights and motor
off. That light was moving real fast and did not make any noise;
at least, if it did, we did not hear it. I could see the form of
it as it went overhead. When I first saw it, it was a big light
and when it moved overhead it looked like a kite shaped object.
There was a big light on the front and on the back was a red light
which was smaller. As I said, it went real fast and after it
passed overhead it looked like the red light was closer to the big
light. It faded away and then we had to get the vet for the cow.
She had a dead calf. The vet said it was coming too soon. We did

Having been disturbed enough by the barking of his dogs, Mr. Frank
Mannor went outside to quiet their noise. The dogs were barking in
the direction of the swamp land that lies outside of Mr. Mannor's

strange lights and a red luminous object down in the swamp.
Calling his 19 year old son, Ron, to follow him, Mr. Mannor set out

"I was driving my truck north on Highway 15 about 25 miles south of
Abilene, Kansas. I was carrying a full load of peanuts and was en

of a sudden all of the lights on my truck went out. Then they came
back on, then off, then back on again. About this time the thing--
saucer, or whatever--went over my truck with a sizzling or wind-
like blowing sound. It scared the hell out of me. It seemed to
almost touch the cab, maybe it was 20ft in the air, and it just
swooped down over the road and hovered there not much more than
100ft in front of me. I tell you, I was standing on those brakes.
I just didn't know what was happening. It looked like it was going
to fall right in the middle of the road, but it didn't. I got my
rig stopped and about that time this thing raised up a bit and
slowly took off to the west and then headed south. I don't know
how long it hovered there in front of me, I was just too scared to
tell time. It seemed longer than 30 seconds. I'd say it was about
14 or 15ft in diameter and sort of orange-colored. It kept
shooting out reddish rays in spurts. It looked like a saucer, but
only about two ft thick, with a hump in the middle which stuck up
about four ft or so. There was a dark spot on the bump. It may
have been a window or something. I just don't know," Mr. Don
Tennopri, a truck driver, recalled. Minutes after the incident, he

Mutilations are differentiated from accidental or predatory death
for several reasons. Chief among them is the manner in which the
flesh has been removed from the body. Cauterization (the fusing of
tissue and blood vessels by heat or chemical means) seems to be
typical of mutilations. Unlike animal attack, the flesh, adjoining
the area where it has been removed, is smooth and clean as if cut
with a searing or laser scalpel. As well, the areas chosen for
removal are quite strange. Mainly the sexual, anterior digestive
tract and sensory organs are affected.(No predator
differentiates so precisely). Still, no tracks of any kind can be
found around the mutilation site, except, sometimes, tripod marks.
Also, no carrion eaters will touch the mutilated cow even though it
has plenty of flesh still left to be eaten.

This heifer had her udder removed and the remaining teats slashed.
As well, her rectum and sexual organs were cored out of the pelvic
cavity. Expert analysis revealed that this animal had been
mutilated. Normal predation indicators (bite marks, etc.) were
not present, and the cutting instrument used had to have generated
sufficient heat for cauterization (fusing of tissue and blood
vessels by heat or chemical means).
In a similar case, also from Wyoming, the pathologist found an
insertion into the brain cavity of the cow that had been mutilated.
The doctor, therefore, postulated that this cow had been subdued by
an injection of unknown medium into the brain.

Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, Alabama, Puerto Rico, Canada, and as far

Speculation that secret US government groups (paramilitary or spy)

the US government would have their own stock of cows for an
experiment of this nature. Satanic cults would need to have
enormous resources to carry out this type of operation throughout
the world.
Ranchers have witnessed strange, unmarked black helicopters fly
over their cattle where they will, later, find mutilated cattle.
Some have even witnessed strange lights in the night sky previous

If not for the intrepid work of Dr. Colin Andrew and his

extraterrestrial contact. Previous to his work, it was thought
that these formations were the effects of unstudied weather

these crop circles and patterns were the products of elaborate
hoaxes. And, because it had begun to happen around the world
(Australia, US, and England), all, except otherworldly forces,
could be ruled out.
Like the plaques on the Voyager spacecraft, which, in mathematical
terms, says hello to whoever may find them, these crop patterns
depict complex mathematical, chemical and atomic scientific
concepts, possibly in hopes that we will understand and try to
communicate in like manner. After all, the ancients, across the
globe, once painted the ground with amazing pictograms, such as the
Nazca lines, that could only be seen, in their entirety, from
above.
Besides the communicative aspect of the patterns, a strange
chemical process is undergone by the wheat that has been patterned.
