MARFA LIGHTS

I took this picture coming home from work on November 30th 2003 at 7:41pm. I saw a strange cluster of lights in the sky and I stopped to see if I could find out what it was.The lights were huge and bright orange and they were moving in and out of formations very tightly. I flagged down another car to see if someone could say what these were but the man and woman who I talked to were also curious and pulled of the road to watch these lights as they continued to move in formations. I remembered I had my daughters camera and I got into the car and pulled it out to take a picture of it before they ALL VANISHED AT ONE TIME. The objects were very strange and I have no idea what they were.. I know they were not military flares because military flares do not move around in the skies they simply fall to the ground. These lights moved left and right at different speeds and they all seemed to act as if they were all controlled by some source as they would all disappear and reappear at the same time each time in various formations. I snapped this picture of the objects in night vision mode on the camera.

 

I was driving on highway 67 just east of Marfa Texas..

 

Do you think these were UFOs of some type or could these be the famous Marfa lights?!?

Thanks for your time

When I lived in Texas I invited my friend Billy Harris to travel with me to Silver City and Roswell,NM and then on to Phoenix, Arizona.  

 

On the way back to Texas we decided to go to Van Horn, TX and then down to Marfa to see the lights.  On the way Billy noticed that the stars were blacked out above us.  We also noticed a light on each corner of "something".  We stopped the car and tried to determine what it was; of course we couldn't.  We were very excited.  We kept driving towards Marfa and on the way we saw an Air Force establishment with a tether holding something above.  There was a sign that said "Deadly Force will be used if you pursue coming into the base."  That was enough for us!  Eventually we arrived in Marfa and the first thing we did was ask someone what that base was for.  Everything made sense after we were told it was a dirigible that kept track of illegal aliens coming across the border.

 

We stayed in Marfa that evening.  Billy wanted to see if he could "catch" one of those lights so he took the car and I went to bed.  He said in the morning that every time he got near one it would zoom away. I believe it was the television show "That's Incredible" that did a feature on the lights.  They also tried to catch one but to no avail. - Aileen

 

THE UNSOLVED MYSTERY OF THE MARFA GHOST LIGHTS    

 

The Ghost Lights of Marfa still shine as bright as ever, and are still as mysterious as they were when they were first seen by early settlers who drove their herds into the Marfa area in 1883. 

 

Who can explain their source?  Where are they actually located?  How long have they been in existence?  The mystery is no closer to being solved now than when they were first seen.

 

Robert Ellison came to Marfa in 1883 and off-loaded his cattle in Alpine.  He then drove the herd west and on the second night out, while camped just this side of Paisano Pass, he saw strange lights in the distance.  At first, it was feared that they were Apache Signal Fires.  Mr. Ellison searched the countryside by horseback.  He finally realized that the lights were not man-made.  Other early settlers assured him that they too, had seen the lights and had never been able to identify them.

 

The lights appear almost every night.  They seem to come from somewhere east of the Chinati Mountains but just where exactly has never been determined.  Those who have searched for their source during the day have found nothing!  No buildings, no campfires, no evidence of human activity.  And no evidence of mineral deposits or Swamp areas.

 

The ghost lights appear in different ways to different people.  Some swear they have seen them divide and form separate balls of light.  Others claim that they have seen them move up and down.  All agree that they glow as softly as a star at times then brighten to the intensity of a spotlight.  Sometimes they pop off and on.  As they fade they seem to be receding.  There are verifiable accounts of people being pursued by the lights.

 

A Marfa Lights viewing site has been provided for the public on Highway 90 by the Texas Highway Department.  It is located nine miles east of Marfa.  Ghost light watchers can park in the area and scan the south-western horizon, looking toward Chinati Peak.  Using a distant red tower light as a marker, one can be certain that any light to the right of the marker, which appears and disappears, is a Marfa Ghost Light.  You will know them when you see them - there is no mistaking them.

Spanish wagon trains drove through this area in the 1500's.  They also reported seeing the mysterious lights.

   

MORE CASES FROM THE 1920s

This is the middle of the 1920 cases.  I think I have it sorted out now!

According to the Canadian UFO flyer ‘Cuforn Bulletin May-June 1988” an apparent early
abduction incident was reported from Port Burwell, Ontario, Canada one night during the
summer of 1925:

The five-year old witness woke up and felt compelled to go outside into the backyard; she then saw a
large “train-like” craft approaching. It was emitting a loud whining sound. A light approached the
witness and she recalled floating up into the craft. Several small gray beings with large eyes, set far
apart took her gown off. The beings were slender with whitish gray skin, large heads, and bulging eyes and were wearing tight fitting satin like outfits. She is later floated up and apparently examined with various instruments. She is eventually released.

This is an apparent very early abduction event describing what appeared to be the typical
modern day ‘gray’ humanoids. Later that same summer the same witness reported another
similar incident at the same location but involving somewhat different appearing beings:

The witness was lying on the grass outside when she saw a flat silvery disc land nearby; several beings with wrinkled yellow skin came out. She was then apparently taken inside the craft and given a ride. The disc flew at a very high altitude and the witness was returned later.

According to the Swedish UFO publication UFO-Aktuellt 3/1983 page 39, sometime between
September 20 through September 30 1925, between 630 a.m. and 630 a.m. a strange
encounter which I classified as of high strangeness, occurred, the following is the summary of
the event:

On an early Sunday morning the 8-year old witness had gotten up and gotten up and gone out into the
surrounding area near his home when he found himself in a small country lane. He had no definite
goal. It was already bright and the weather was fine. When he came down to a bridge that crossed a
creek he looked up out over the area and saw something reminiscent of two deep saucers facing each
other. This phenomenon was big as a car and blackish gray in color, stood on four legs in a field, which a few days earlier had been harvested for potatoes.

He doesn’t know how long he watched the strange object when he saw something that looked like a
rope ladder being hauled into a gap in the craft, the legs were retracted and the ring that went around
the object began rotating around faster and faster, and the craft rose slowly to the side with a faint
whirring noise. He did not see any living creatures. He was then seized by a strange fear and felt
uncomfortable. He ran quickly home and told his parents what he had seen, but was met with
skepticism. He also spoke about it to his best friend and her mother but was ridiculed.

The rope ladder hanging down from an open hatch implies that there were apparently
entities inside the object either getting ready to exit when interrupted by the witness or just
returning to their craft.

In a 1984 article in ‘Fate’ magazine, authors Rob McGregor and Trish Janeshutz recount an
extremely bizarre and improbable tale occurring sometime in the year 1926 near the location
of Ancud, southern Chile, without going into any speculations I will present the following
narrative from the article:

The 18-year old brother of Marcelino Zaldivia was sleeping one night on the porch when he
disappeared and was not found until Easter week of 1976 when Marcelino, feeling nostalgic about his
lost brother visited their old home on the banks of the Rio Pudeto. There seated in the living room
and dressed as he’d been half a century earlier, was his brother, now old and evidently demented.
When Marcelino asked where he’d been all those years, the man replied only that he’d been on a
‘boat’ and implored him not to ask anything more. When a woman named Elena Vera Guerrero asked
him about it, he shook his head and said, “They hear everything.”

This area of southern Chile has been the scene of numerous other bizarre and similar tales.
Whatever happened to the unfortunate 18-year old perhaps will never be known, I do
wonder who he meant when he said, “They hear everything.”

Seasoned Polish researchers Bronislaw Rzepecki and Marcin Mioduszewski provided me with
an interesting case from the area of Ujazd, Poland said to have occurred one afternoon in
September of 1926. The case both involved a disc and related entities:

The witness (Zofia) was alone in a meadow grazing three cows when she suddenly turned around and
saw three gray discs (about 2 meters in diameter) hovering just above the ground and three strange
entities standing in front of them. There was total silence. All three objects had something resembling
opened doors. The humanoids were less than 120-130 cm tall, maybe about 80 cm, and wore dark
green suits and something like belts or ropes around their waists. She was unable to see any hair or
facial features as the humanoids stood about 100 meters away staring at her. Very scared she began
running away. She briefly turned around and everything was gone.

From French researchers Joel Mesnard & Michel Morel Seythoux we get a brief summary mentioned in the UFO magazine FSR Vol. 37 # 1 of a case which would have been labeled as a CE3 type ‘A’ (occupants seen within UFO) using modern UFO research classifications:

Location. La Combe De Morbier, Jura, France

Date: Winter 1926

A woodcutter reported seeing a large brightly lit sphere hovering at treetop level, several figures,
human-like in appearance could be seen inside the object. These apparently ignored the witness.

Time: evening

Quoting Italian UFO researcher Paolo Fiorino in UFO Universe another CE3 type ‘A’ incident
was reported sometime in 1927, one morning, in Corbola, Rovigo, Italy:

One morning while a 12-year old girl was going to fetch drinking water at the River Po she saw a shiny and round object come from the sky, it later crashed in the water seven meters away from her. After a couple of minutes, the witness noticed a big bubble in the water and later the object resurfaced and flew away disappearing in the sky. The girl had the chance to observe the interior of the object and saw a little man who seemed to be seated because he was only visible from the neck and above. The facial features were human looking and he was not wearing a helmet. The object, which emitted a hissing noise, had a diameter of 2-3 meters.

Researcher and author Jacques Vallee illustrates another similar case in his book
“Confrontations, a scientist’s search for alien contact” the following is a summary of this very
interesting case:

Location.
Date: late April 1928

Harry Dillon was driving along an unpaved country road when as he reached the top of a slight rise he saw an object slowly coming into the view. The object was described as resembling a metallic hexagon with a dome on top, olive drab in color. The witness could see rivets along a vertical section and a two by three foot window set in a metallic frame. In the window he could see the upper torso of a man dressed in a dark blue uniform. The man had a dark complexion and was totally human-like. He looked intently in the direction of the witness’s car, and then the object rotated, flew across the road, and shot away at terrific speed.

Long time English researcher Norman Oliver shared with us in Quest UFO Magazine Vol. 11 #
4 a humanoid sans UFO encounter said to have occurred on November of 1928 one late
evening in Bolton, Lancashire, England:

A young boy, Henry Thomson, playing with a gang of friends was running through a dark alley when
he saw in the backyard of a house three strange figures peering into a lighted living room. The central
figure was tallest; it turned and looked at the witness. He mumbled at the other two and they all
turned. A wide black eyepiece divided down the center by a ribbed silver piece covered the face of the tall entity. All three appeared to be wearing inflatable rubber suits with dark boots. On their heads
were transparent dome-like helmets. Tubes came from these and joined tanks that were on their
backs. They had pale heads shaped like light bulbs, slit-like eyes, scarcely any nose, and no visible
mouth. One made a strange noise, and all three began to move toward the boy. He ran away from the
area in terror.

One of the strangest incidents of this roaring decade was said to have taken place one
morning sometime in 1929 in Hertford, England. The incident is summarized by researchers
and authors Janet and Colin Bord in “Modern Mysteries of Britain”. It definitely involves a
humanoid and an ‘unorthodox’ conveyance to say the least:

A sister, 5, and brother, 8, were playing in the garden one morning, at that date the road was a lane,
with just two pairs of houses, one of which was theirs, and behind the houses there was an orchard.
As they played, they heard the sound of an engine---years later the sister would likened it to a quiet
version of a trainer plane. Her brother and her looked up and saw, coming over the garden fence from
the orchard, this small aeroplane (of biplane type) which swooped down and landed briefly, almost
striking a dustbin. It remained there for possibly just a few seconds and then took off and was gone,
but in that short the girl had a perfect view of the tiny biplane but also of a perfectly proportioned
tiny pilot wearing a leather flying helmet, who waved to them as he took off. Neither she nor her
brother spoke of the strange sight until years later. She estimated the wing-span of the tiny aircraft at
no more than 12-15 inches, with the tiny pilot in perfect proportion thereto.

A more ‘mundane’ incident (if there is such a word in the world of humanoid encounters) was
given to me by veteran Brazilian researcher Antonio Faleiro from Passa Tempo Minas Gerais.
It consists of brief but very interesting details of an incident said to have occurred in 1929 (no
specific month) in the town of Paraguaco, Minas Gerais Brazil:

One night a large shiny white metallic craft with several window-like apertures was seen on the
ground. Two giant humanoid figures about 2.50 meters in height stood next to the object. These wore
silvery outfits and brown boots and gloves. No other information.

In his excellent book “When saucers came to Earth” Italian researcher and author Maurizio
Verga gives us the following very ‘high strangeness’ report:

Location. Roccagloriosa, Salerno, Italy

Date: summer 1929

A girl was working in a field when she looked up and saw a stationary ball

of white light in the sky. This then descended vertically, stopping just a few

centimeters above the ground, while descending the ball greatly dimmed

creating a sort of “opening” in the center of the sphere. After 5 or 10 seconds,

a female figure emerged from the opening wearing sumptuous black garments,

“like those from the 19th century”. Inside of the ball, 2 or 3 small beings

moved slowly and peered outward. The female figure walked toward the

witness, without her feet touching the ground. Thereafter, she turned left and

was lost in some trees. The girl was frightened and made the sign of the cross.

She then ran to call her father. When he arrived at the landing site, he

smelled the fragrance of roses.

Time: 1400

There seems to be a combination of unusual factors in this case. The female entity could have
been interpreted as a type of ‘Marian’ vision, the small beings unfortunately are not
described, but in modern terms they could represent ‘aliens’. The fragrance of roses at the
site is also interesting, which tips the balance to the Marian vision hypothesis. Whatever took
place was definitely out of the ordinary.

According to French Canadian UFO researcher Henri Bourdeleau on or about June 15 1929 at
Fermeneuve, Quebec, Canada what appears to have been a close encounter of the third kind
took place:

Louis Brosseau, riding home to Fermeneuve, saw on a hillside a sort of black “cloud” with a yellowish light coming from within. Approaching on foot to within 150 ft, he saw it to be a dark object on the ground; he could indistinctly see, in the darkness, 4 or 5 small “yellowish” colored men running around in a 20-foot radius. The dark object rose & passed over him at about 50 mph, “purring like a milk separator,” with a rush of air; coming from it he heard 2 voices as if in argument. The object was about 50 ft in diameter, with windows “lit like the moon,” and with black protuberances 3 ft apart all around the circumference.

Quoting an entry on the NUFORC site (National UFO reporting center) we learn of an alleged
incident said to have taken place one afternoon on July 5 1929 near Burns, Oregon:

The witnesses were traveling east of town climbing up through a cut in the rim rocks when an object,
very slowly flew over the top of the car, about 50 ft above the rim rock. The object stopped and
through a transparent window the witnesses could see two completely human-like figures that
appeared to be pointing down at them using their arms and hands. One of the witnesses stepped out
of the car but his mother demanded that he get back in. He stood on the running board observing the
craft, which was two tones of brown. The craft, which had windows in the middle section, hovered for about 40 seconds emitting a soft hum. One of the figures then moved to another window and the
craft suddenly accelerated and was gone in a blink of an eye.

THE FORGOTTEN CASES - FROM ALBERT ROSALES

(I think the last blog I sent you was the final one.  This is the first part.  Sorry about that.)

The Forgotten humanoid and other encounters of the roaring 20’s.
During those turbulent times in between the two World Wars, right
before the Wall Street Crash and the beginning of the Depression, there were little known and mostly hidden encounters with ‘strangers’ among us.


For various reasons, I suspect mainly because of witness reluctance and faltering memories,
many of the encounters reported from 1920 through 1929 were mainly ignored and poorly
documented. But there is a core of incidents that appear to mirror what was going to occur in
the not too distant future. I will attempt to cover some of the least known incidents reported
during the time, not only ‘humanoid’ encounters but other high-strangeness events.

Sometime in 1920 a strange series of events took place in Bass Strait, Victoria, Australia. The
following narrative is directly taken from veteran Australian UFO researcher Bill Chalker article:

“UFOs sub-rosa down under: The Australian Military & Government role in the UFO controversy.”
“The Navy submarine depot ship, the Platypus, was involved in the search for a missing
schooner, the Amelia J., in Bass Strait. Mystery lights, thought at the time to be “evidently rockets,”

were observed. Two aircraft left the flying training school and aircraft depot at Point Cook to join in
the investigation. One was piloted by a Major Anderson and the other by Captain W. J. Stutt – an
instructor for the NSW Government Aviation School at Richmond…Stutt and his mechanic, Seargent
Dalzell, were last seen by Major Anderson flying into a large cloud. Their plane and the schooner
were never found.”

Figure 2. Australian researcher Bill Chalker.

Interesting account, what were those lights reported during the search for the schooner, what kind of a
cloud was it that the search aircraft fly into and never came out? I suspect we will never know these
answers. The area (Bass Strait) is a well known area for Australian anomaly researchers, where UFOs,
strange disappearances and other high strangeness incidents have been frequently reported. This case is
what I call perhaps a ‘permanent abduction’.

According to Ukrainian researcher, Dr. Anton Anfalov (he quotes UFO Liaisons of the Universe, Lugansk,
Ukraine) in the year 1920 during the bloody Russian Civil War and somewhere not specified in the
Crimean Peninsula a strange event took place:

A mobile Red Army group was moving along a local road in the rugged mountains of the Crimean
Peninsula. There were a total of five soldiers including one woman. They were moving in a cart wagon
and were armed with rifles and “Maksim” machine guns. Suddenly they noticed a lighted area on the
side of the road and then stopped near the road prepared their weapons and began to check the area.
They soon came upon a strange dome-shaped object on the ground and several tall figures walking
near the object. The figures were described as dressed in a kind of armored suit, resembling
chainmaille, The figures were about 2 meters in height, or taller. Thinking that these were foreign
enemies the group prepared to fire upon the strangers with their Maksim machine guns but were

suddenly blinded by a bright flash of light and knocked down losing consciousness. When they
returned to their senses again, the object and the strange figures had disappeared.

Another interesting event, one that it would have been classified as a CE3 in modern
‘Ufological’ parlance, the action taken in the part of the unknown entities was apparently a self
defense action. It is unfortunate that there is not a more precise location provided for this
extremely high strangeness event.

Figure 3. Luminous entities

According to veteran French researchers Joel Mesnard and Jean Marie Bigorne sometime
during the summer of 1920 near the town of Nontron in the Dordogne region of France the
following peculiar event took place:

On a Saturday evening, between 2300 and midnight, a group of young people was returning from a
dance when they saw in the sky, above a little wood, a strange spectacle; a group of beings of small
stature about in the air, and giving off “musical sounds.” The young people could see their little legs
move about, and noticed that surroundings the figures were a number of luminous balls that gave to
the group a “fiery aspect.” According to the accounts of two of the group, Louise and Marie Grasset,
they felt no fear at the strange sight.

It appears to have been an encounter with a sort of luminous and flying entity. The ‘musical
sounds’ reported is interesting as there have been many similar reports throughout the years
in which ‘musical tones’ have been connected with the appearance of UFOs and strange
entities.

According to published reports in the UFO electronic magazines, UFO Roundup Vo. 7 # 28 and
Filer’s Files (unknown volume) a ‘classic’ close encounter of the third kind took place in
September 1920 outside of Bethel North Carolina, the following is a summary of events:

Figure 4. Typical disc shaped UFO.

During the local cotton harvest 14-year laborer Nicora B. and her family were out in the fields plucking
the white bolls from the cotton plants and stuffing them in their trailing tote sacks when they saw
something large flying over the farm. They described it as an object resembling two pie pans placed
together lip to lip. The silvery object zigzagged across the sky and came to rest in the field in front of
the witnesses. Two little bald white men got out and pointed short stick-like implements at them.
They were the size of little boys but their faces seemed older. One of the little bald men began digging
and poking in the dirt with something like a shovel and put some dirt into a bag. He then took a small
plant and placed it in the bag also. Both little men then backed up one after the other and entered the
pie-pan shaped object, still pointing the sticks at them as they walked backwards. Presently the UFO
took off and zigzagged back in the direction it came.

In later decades hundreds if not thousands of similar events were to be reported, supposed
aliens collecting samples from the ground, also humanoids carrying stick-like implements.

Like I mentioned earlier I will be covering different types of encounters with all sorts of
humanoids during this time period, not all necessarily connected with a ‘UFO’ the following
case is an example.

According to the Fortean Times website (1993) sometime in 1921 at an unspecified location in
Hertfordshire, England the following encounter took place:

During daytime a man was driving down a rural road with nothing going on, when he spotted a
roadside tree stump up ahead. Sitting on the stump was a small (18” high) round-face being with a
pointed cap which slouched over to one side. Before being able to secure a better look, the being was
no longer there.

Of course this case can be classified as an encounter with a fairy, leprechaun, goblin, etc. Is
there a different between this sort of encounter and the landing of a disc-shaped craft from
which several short humanoids emerge and begin collecting soil samples? At first sight the
answer is no, but maybe there are more similar in nature than we think.

One of the earliest abduction type-scenario-incident was reported by several French Ufologists
among them, Joel Mesnard and Jean-Marie Bigorne, this case was said to have taken place in
the French city of Marseille in the Bouches du Rhone region it apparently took place one
afternoon in the summer of 1921 the following is a condensed narrative of the event:

“In 1921---a very hot year---I was playing one day among the hills of the North Canal. I was eight years
old and I love to lose myself in the moonlike landscape made by excavation, and from the First World
War. “Suddenly, two beings, wearing a sort of pliable helmet, literally leaped out from between some
acacia trees. Without preliminaries, they dragged me toward what I thought was an oddly shaped
tank. They took me up into the machine, without my being able to resist. I should say, ‘Without my
being able to want to resist.’ I suddenly began to cry; and I don’t know whether that moved them, but
after a while an opening appeared in the ceiling of the cabin, and in a few seconds I found myself on
the ground. “However, I had to walk most of the afternoon until I found myself near the road I had
left five minute before. “ When I got home that night, my parents treated me like a little liar, and no
one believed me. I can now hardly add much detail to the machine, or its cabin. Doubtless, I was too
astounded. I only remember two details; there were square or at least rectangular portholes. The
cabin had a kind of soft couch that I sat on.” I seem to recall that their helmets appeared metallic. I
don’t recall any anatomical details, except that the two beings were very tall and very slender.”

A bizarre tale to be sure and a rather crude abduction scenario, obviously the young witness
was let go by his strange abductors, but there is no further details available.

From veteran UFO/Bigfoot researcher, Peter Guttilla from his book ‘The Bigfoot File’ we have
the following event said to have taken place one night in August of 1921 in the area of Mount
Shasta, California, it includes some interesting details however brief the narrative is:

Elberta Payne was lying sick at her grandmother’s home when she saw two large black “furry
creatures” with large eyes, watching her through the bedroom window. Almost immediately she
recovered from what was thought to have been typhoid fever.

The apparent spontaneous healing of the witness following the encounter is interesting to
say the least since we have hundreds of similar events involving alleged healings after UFO
encounters.

Figure 5. Flying humanoid.

Renowned international researcher Jacques Vallee introduced us to one of the earliest reports of a flying
humanoid in connection to a UFO. The event reportedly took place at five o’clock in the morning on
February 22 1922 in an area near Hubbell Nebraska:

A hunter, William C. Lamb, was following mysterious tracks when he heard a crackling noise followed
by a high-pitched sound & realized that a circular object was flying overhead. He hid behind a tree &
saw this object, now brilliantly lighted, land in a hollow. Soon afterward a “magnificent” flying
creature at least 8 ft tall appeared that landed like an airplane & left traces in the snow. It passed by
the tree & disappeared; Lamb followed the tracks for 5 miles before giving up.

Stunning case, it was later reported that Mr. Lamb was involved in other encounters and
appeared to have been a ‘repeater’ witness.

Another very high strangeness case allegedly took place during another civil war, this time the
Irish Civil War and it is said to have taken place one early morning in April of 1922 in County
Donegal, Ireland. According to the INTCAT listing quoting the Watford and South Herts Post of
April 30 1964 this is a brief summary of what allegedly took place:

During the Irish civil war, soldier Lawrence Bradley came to a cave, the foliage at the entrance of
which was burned. Soldiers sheltering inside said they had been awakened in the early morning by a
‘whirring’ sound, and fired at an object. The object fired jets of fire at the cave. As the soldiers
emerged the object, circular and metallic, was beginning to ascend.

Strange indeed, did the exhausted soldiers perhaps mistake at tank (early version) for a more
unconventional craft? However the fact that it was reportedly ‘ascending’ does not make it a
mundane object.

From veteran researchers Ron Westrum and Ted Bloecher we have a more ‘typical’ (if that is
possible) CE3 event from the summer of 1922 said to have taken place around 22:00 in the city
of Detroit Michigan:

Mrs. Irma Hinz was walking home from a movie with a young friend when the two teenagers saw a
large disk shaped object hovering over a vacant lot on Dragoon Avenue. The sky suddenly lit up and
the object descended to the height of a large tree and slowly revolved as it hovered, around the
perimeter of the bottom of the object were rectangular windows, lit from within; seated at these
windows were approximately 20 entities that were seen only from the shoulders/neck up. They were
bald headed, with eyes set close together, and they were staring intently at the young couple. No
other features were observed, Mrs. Hinz and her date watched for several minutes, but left quickly
when they became frightened. Although Mrs. Hinz told her parents at the time, her mother tended to
believe it was a “vision” of some kind. She recalls her date’s name as William O’Brien.

According to Len Wells from the Evansville Courier there was another typical close encounter of
the third kind one afternoon in June of 1923 near the town of Mount Erie Illinois, the witness
being a 10-year old boy named Norman Massie, following is a summary of the incident:

Norman Massie was 10-year old when he went out to take his horses into a pasture. As he led his
horses through the gate he noticed an object with lights all around it nearby. He walked to within 50
feet of the object and noticed five men onboard the craft. He described the men as about 4 ft tall with
blond hair. As he got closer he could hear them talking. One of the men sat on a chair, & the others
called him the “Commander”. The other men made trips back & forth into the object. Massie then
overhead one of the men tell the commander that the repairs had been made. The object was
described as metallic and standing on three legs. It had a dome on top with holes in it. The top of the
object resembled melted glass. The object then rose up and hovered & the tripod legs telescoped up
into the belly of the craft, which went straight up then shot away towards the west at high speed.

Several Spanish Ufologists including Antonio Ribera unearthed a very strange incident said to
have occurred one afternoon in 1924 near the small town of Quero in La Mancha region, Spain.
The incident involves a lone humanoid without the presence of a UFO but using some kind of
‘apparatus’ in order to get around:

Figure 6. Depiction of humanoid maneuvering over a field.

The witness was standing near a local rural church when he saw a short humanoid figure about 1.20
meters in height wearing a tight-fitting green colored coverall, it had its arms and legs in a rigid
position and approached to within 2 meters of the witness. The humanoid seemed to have both feet
together and resting on some type of circular platform that apparently propelled him above the
ground. On his hands he carried an object or control panel that seemed to operate the floating
platform. The humanoid, which had human features, disappeared silently into some distance fields.

The late and groundbreaking Ufologist John Keel (John Alva Kiehl) reported a bizarre possible
crash & retrieval case which involved strange characters, perhaps precursors of the modern day
M.I.B. The incident is said to have occurred one afternoon in May of 1924 near the small town
of Gem, West Virginia:

A farmer outside Gem in monster haunted Braxton County reported seeing an ‘airplane’ crash in a
forest. Planes were a very rare sight in those days especially in West Virginia, and a crashing plane
was big news. According to the farmer, the plane was very odd in that it didn’t seem to have any
wings, didn’t make any noise and seemed unusually large. “As big as a battleship” is the way the
farmer described it. A party of men, including the local sheriff and local newsman John Cole
systematically searched the woods. Within hours they found the wreck in a small clearing. According
to Cole:

“We weren’t the first ones there, though. There were already five or six men in the clearing. Some of
them were dressed in black business suits, neckties and all, and that seemed damned silly in that neck
of the woods”. Others were dressed in coveralls of a funny color---some kind of very shiny material.
They were talking among themselves in a rapid-fire foreign language when they found them. They got
real excited when they saw the search party. The men in coveralls ran into the wreck---like they were
trying to hide. Some of the men in the search party were carrying guns and one of them said to Cole,
“By God, they’re spies!” and he raised his gun. The strangers were all small, just a little over five feet
tall, and they all looked like Orientals, with high cheekbones, slanted eyes, and dark skin. One of them
spoke English. He told the men nobody was hurt, that everything was all right. He said he would call
on the sheriff later and make out a complete report. There wasn’t much they could do. No crime had
been committed. Nobody was hurt.

According to Cole while he was looking around he spotted a ‘little thingamajig” on the ground. He
picked it up and decided to keep it. He doesn’t know why he just didn’t turn it over to one of
“foreigners”. He put it in his pocket. They all finally went away, leaving the foreigners to fuss with
their contraption. It didn’t look like much of a flying machine. It face, Cole didn’t think it could fly at
all. It was like a fuselage of a modern plane, with windows and all. But it didn’t have any wings, tail or
propellers. And like the farmer said, it was mighty big. According to Cole at least seventy five feet
long, it filled the whole clearing.

He went back home in Weston and went right to bed. He was pretty tired from all the day’s hiking.
About three a. m. somebody started pounding on his door. He got up and looked and there was an
army officer standing there. He was dressed in one of those broad-brimmed hats they used to wear,
with those leg wrappings and all. It was a U.S. Army uniform, but except for his clothes he looked just
like those foreigners from the airplane. Slant eye, dark skin, but he was maybe a little taller. ‘You
picked up something today,’ he said. ‘We need it back.’ Cole was half asleep and at first he couldn’t
think what he meant. Then he remembered the metal ‘thingamajig” It was still in his coat pocket. Cole
went and got it. “Is this what you mean?” He asked him. He didn’t answer; he just grabbed it and

walked off without a word. He didn’t, seem to have a horse or a car. Cole shuffled back to bed. But
the next day he started wondering about it. How had the supposed officer managed to track him
down? A couple of days later he went back to those woods and found that clearing. It was empty. The
grass and bushes were all crushed down where the airplane had been but there was no other sign of
anything or anybody. After the Army ‘officer’ came by Cole figured that maybe it was a secret Army
deal of some kind and he thought it was better to leave it alone.

Another report describing a ‘little man’ carrying a sort of stick was reported by author and
researcher Graham J. McEwan in his book “Mystery animals of Great Britain and Ireland” said
to have occurred in Cranagh, County Carlow, Ireland one afternoon in November of 1924. The
following is a summary of the events:

A young girl was standing by a farmyard gate tending some cows when she saw a little man appear
from behind one of the cows. He walked quickly and tapped one of the cows gently on the nose with a
stick he was carrying. He walked by the witness, staring at her, and then walked straight into a bank
of solid earth and vanished. He was described as four foot tall, young looking, & wearing a black cap, a
red coat, and tight trousers.

CONCLUSION OF THE 1920s CASES BY ALBERT ROSALES

A more ‘mundane’ incident (if there is such a word in the world of humanoid encounters) was
given to me by veteran Brazilian researcher Antonio Faleiro from Passa Tempo Minas Gerais.
It consists of brief but very interesting details of an incident said to have occurred in 1929 (no
specific month) in the town of Paraguaco, Minas Gerais Brazil:

One night a large shiny white metallic craft with several window-like apertures was seen on the
ground. Two giant humanoid figures about 2.50 meters in height stood next to the object. These wore
silvery outfits and brown boots and gloves. No other information.

In his excellent book “When saucers came to Earth” Italian researcher and author Maurizio
Verga gives us the following very ‘high strangeness’ report:

Location. Roccagloriosa, Salerno, Italy

Date: summer 1929

A girl was working in a field when she looked up and saw a stationary ball

of white light in the sky. This then descended vertically, stopping just a few

centimeters above the ground, while descending the ball greatly dimmed

creating a sort of “opening” in the center of the sphere. After 5 or 10 seconds,

a female figure emerged from the opening wearing sumptuous black garments,

“like those from the 19th century”. Inside of the ball, 2 or 3 small beings

moved slowly and peered outward. The female figure walked toward the

witness, without her feet touching the ground. Thereafter, she turned left and

was lost in some trees. The girl was frightened and made the sign of the cross.

She then ran to call her father. When he arrived at the landing site, he

smelled the fragrance of roses.

Time: 1400

There seems to be a combination of unusual factors in this case. The female entity could have
been interpreted as a type of ‘Marian’ vision, the small beings unfortunately are not
described, but in modern terms they could represent ‘aliens’. The fragrance of roses at the
site is also interesting, which tips the balance to the Marian vision hypothesis. Whatever took
place was definitely out of the ordinary.

According to French Canadian UFO researcher Henri Bourdeleau on or about June 15 1929 at
Fermeneuve, Quebec, Canada what appears to have been a close encounter of the third kind
took place:

Louis Brosseau, riding home to Fermeneuve, saw on a hillside a sort of black “cloud” with a yellowish
light coming from within. Approaching on foot to within 150 ft, he saw it to be a dark object on the
ground; he could indistinctly see, in the darkness, 4 or 5 small “yellowish” colored men running
around in a 20-foot radius. The dark object rose & passed over him at about 50 mph, “purring like a
milk separator,” with a rush of air; coming from it he heard 2 voices as if in argument. The object was

about 50 ft in diameter, with windows “lit like the moon,” and with black protuberances 3 ft apart all
around the circumference.

Quoting an entry on the NUFORC site (National UFO reporting center) we learn of an alleged
incident said to have taken place one afternoon on July 5 1929 near Burns, Oregon:

The witnesses were traveling east of town climbing up through a cut in the rim rocks when an object,
very slowly flew over the top of the car, about 50 ft above the rim rock. The object stopped and
through a transparent window the witnesses could see two completely human-like figures that
appeared to be pointing down at them using their arms and hands. One of the witnesses stepped out
of the car but his mother demanded that he get back in. He stood on the running board observing the
craft, which was two tones of brown. The craft, which had windows in the middle section, hovered for about 40 seconds emitting a soft hum. One of the figures then moved to another window and the
craft suddenly accelerated and was gone in a blink of an eye.

Russian researcher and author Aleksey K. Priyma in his book “UFOs witnesses to the
unknown” mentions another close encounter case that allegedly took place in the Pestovskiy
area in the Novgorod region Russia, one day in August of 1929. It again involved an object
with occupants seen inside through a clear or glass-like dome:

17-year old Anna Petrovna Poletayeva was walking on a road on her way to visit her parents. The road passed next to Gusevskoye Lake and as she glanced at the lake she noticed a flying craft hovering above the lake. The object was round, small, without wings. Its lower part was yellow-reddish in color, resembling copper. The upper part was a glassy cupola. The glass from the cupola was joined to the lower part by large “copper” bolts. The UFO hovered about 15 meters above the water. Anna could see two small sized “people” inside the glassy cupola---one male the other female. They were dressed in gray tight-fitting suits. Both were smiling, looking at the witness. Their faces were very much like ordinary humans. Feeling initial fear she panicked and ran from the area stumbled and injured her elbow. She looked back and the object was still hovering in the same place.

I will finish my case summaries with an incident reported by Greek researchers C. Trantafyllou
and Homer Carajas of an incident said to have taken place one midnight during August of
1929 in the village of Krini in Chalkidiki Greece:

Theocharis Moustakas was carrying flour in his cart, returning home after the grinding of wheat at
Krini mill. Suddenly he saw an object like a “parachute” (semi spherical) landed on a nearby field and three “little people” speaking a very curious language between them. They were dressed in white
clothing with white hoods and their skin was also white. Near them was a fence and the small men
repeatedly jumped over it with ease. The witness was terrified and went to the village running. Some
of the villagers told him that he had seen “devils” while others laughed at him.

Of course there were many other encounters and strange encounters during the roaring 20’s,
I could not have possibly include them all, I hope I was able to chose the most interesting and
perplexing cases. The fact is that whoever or whatever this entities are, they have been with
us for decades before the so-called modern era of encounters in June 24 1947. Many of these
‘ancient’ or like some like to say, ‘pre-Arnold’ cases are mirror images of modern cases and
were mere glimpses of things to come. Please feel free to contact me at garuda79@att.net

FROM FILER'S FILES:

Alien Spaceship in Russia

Anfalov Anton, PhD writes an open letter in Russian and this translation may not be completely accurate.
To Coordinator "Kosmopoisk", Chairman of the Union of Russian UFO-BA Shurinovu,
To all ufologists:”There is a multi-year cover-up of alien spaceships in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation (one) and United States of America (three)”

Dear Vadim!

“Back in the 1990s there was a little known, a military base near the town of Odintsovo in the Moscow region where the military and intelligence agencies have covered-up the investigation of the captured alien spacecraft. Odincovo let slip this data in a telephone conversation with me in the mid-to late 1990s. You and your colleagues have taken virtually no tangible and concrete actions or a detailed study and the final publication of this important data for the whole of Russia and the world of ufology.”

KGB released photo of alien craft
My colleagues and I will put an end to your cynical criminal silence and inaction after years of hiding the truth about the alien ship. We are also aware of the three alien disks seized in the United States (two-discs in Arizona in May 1953 and another one in California in the summer 1967) and stored since the 1970s and still in the underground base at Area 12, Rainier Mesa, a Nuclear test site in Nevada.
With regard to the current Russian cover-up since the mid-1980s, an alien disk-UAV is in an underground bunker base at SRF-10-Odincovo that is now closed. This is the only extraterrestrial aircraft in storage and under study in the former Soviet Union and now Russia. Information about other alleged crashes is false. I’m fully aware of the fact that after the publication of this information on the alien disk will likely cause it to be transported to a more distant place in the Urals. Concealment continues in secret from most of the leading Russian aerospace industry professionals who have the right to know about it!
They are hiding and exploring the unmanned extraterrestrial reconnaissance machine which was discovered and captured in Zagorsk region of Moscow, near the village of Nikulskoe and the arsenal at the landfill by engineering troops back in 1979, after falling into the gorge near power lines, for the "Blue" zone defense of Moscow.
Contrary to popular belief, this craft was NOT hit by a missile, and the disc did not shoot anybody, he fell himself as a result of a domestic accidents. The above is confirmed by numerous witnesses. In particular, corporal Krupin Viktor, who served with the MAS technician in the protection of Zhukovsky in the period 1981-1983. In 1982, I personally talked to the officer, who secretly photographed the rescue disk at the crash site on his personal camera. A cordon of soldiers stood near the 1263rd Engineering Corps arsenal Arsaki. KGB and Soviet Interior Ministry personnel cordoned off the crash site for a rescue disk. The disc was studied in the workshop of NIICHIMMASH (Research Institute of Chemical Engineering) http://readings.gmik.ru/lecture/2002-NIIHIMMASH
It passed the preliminary examination by experts in various fields at TSNIIMV (Central Research Institute of Materials), now-NPO "Composite." http://www.roscosmos.ru/main.php?id=37&pid=36
 In the mid-1980s, after the full range of research and the weight of failed attempts to open the drive enclosure at the time of equipment in the USSR - the disc was hidden in a much more secure and isolated place. The alien disk was placed inside a new bunker underground room in 1986 or 1987 connected to the main building thru a tunnel in the southeastern part of the military base Odincovo of Vlasikha.

Scientists from different research institutions, including and from the NGO "Composite were brought to the bunker periodically mainly materials science.
The diameter of the disc is a small, 6-7 (max -8) meters, unmanned. Dome top and bottom - a small projection and 3 supports. Unfortunately the disc has not opened, and researchers do not have access to the interior and the equipment inside the drone has not been removed. Numerous methods were tried and extreme means were rejected in order to avoid the danger of destruction of the disc. Therefore, there has not been a special introduction of alien technology. The Americans with those things are better, because they have access to the inside of the two captured alien discs.
The U.S. has three alien-discs tucked away at the underground base at Area 12 near Rainier Mesa, Nevada Test Site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainier_Mesa/ In the summer disc was seized in the summer of 1967 just north of Edwards Air Force Base where it was originally, and hid in a hangar.
In Area 51 (Groom Lake) there are no aliens at all. The base-12 in the area is in the foothills - spur of Rainier Mesa and is much better equipped with the latest technology and well-financed from the "Black Budget" of the U.S. with the direct participation of the Lockheed corporation, CIA, U.S. Department of Energy, and NSA and other secret government military and the U.S. intelligence community. There is a super-secret lab there with an alien spaceship. Rainier Mesa is one of four major nuclear test regions within the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) shown here.
To sum up, I note the reality of the extraterrestrial civilizations with conclusive tangible evidence - not just at Area 12 in the Nevada nuclear test site in the United States, but some specialists now SIC RKT , TSNIIMV (now NPO "Composite"), some soldiers and members of the Strategic Missile Forces Base Odintsovo-10 (Vlasikha). Employees of the former KGB and current FSB, hiding and studying for many years captured alien disc.

The US has three alien discs with participation of corporations "Lockheed", "Monsanto", "North American", "Konv"yr", "Boeing Phantom Works" and many others. The list of companies and organizations involved in the United States is very long (Indian Head Division-Navy DOD Center for Energetics, Maryland; North American Air Force Plant No. 85 - Columbus, Ohio - Naval facility); and more, Etc.
America has eight bodies of aliens while the Russians have only one disk-drone.
I propose on behalf of the "Kosmopoisk" and UFO-Russia Union with a proposal to the higher authorities of the Russian Federation - to address a proposal to the leadership of the United States of America - the joint and simultaneous removal of declassification and on a review of the world community in the Russian Federation and the United States.

I know that the top picture of the crashed UFO is authentic.  At one time I knew a Soviet Cosmonaut that showed me the picture but there were additional pictures that went with it.  A group of military men surrounded the craft, examining it.  He was one of the men as his father was the head of the group that had come to take it away..  Also there was a truck load of soldiers that were brought to the place to protect it.  Each had a gun.  I believe the pictures are on the video of  "The Secret KGB UFO Files"

ACTUAL ET WRITING

Actual ET writing . . . and the rest of the story
By Mary Joyce, website editor

SkyshipsoverCashiers.com

This is a copy of extraterrestrial writing that was found at a spaceship landing site in Brooksville, Florida on March 3, 1965.  It was received at this website in February 2013 along with a six-page handwritten letter from 71-year-old Jerry who felt it was time to share his eyewitness account of a remarkable story with the public.

Jerry wrote that in 1965 he and his parents were neighbors and friends of John F. Reeves who happened upon a spaceship and a spaceman in brushy land near their Brooksville homes.  At the time, Jerry said he was in his 20s and Reeves appeared to be in his 60s.
Jerry said he and his parents may have been the first ones Reeves told about his extraordinary experience.  He even took them to the landing site where they observed the imprints of the spaceship’s four landing legs plus the spaceman’s boot prints. 
In the photo below, Reeves is shown pointing to one of the spaceman’s boot prints in the white Florida sand.  Jerry described it as 10-11 inches long and “dog bone shaped” because it was equally bulbous on each end.  The boot print also had grooves running both lengthwise and crosswise.

In a follow-up phone call, Jerry told me what Reeves said to him and his parents right after Reeves’ out-of-this-world experience.  Here is a summary of what Jerry told me:
When Reeves stumbled upon the spaceship, he ducked behind some bushes and observed it from his hiding spot.  He described the ship as dull metallic gray, about 40 feet in diameter and nine feet high at its center.  He said he could see three windows, a clear dome top, four landing legs and a retractable ladder that dropped from the bottom center of the ship.
Then a spaceman appeared from behind some other bushes.  He was about five feet tall and wore a tight-fitting suit with a glass-like helmet, metallic boots and mittens - not gloves.  As he walked toward Reeves, he stopped and took something from his uniform and aimed it at Reeves.  It was a little box that made a flash of light.  Reeves thought it might have been a camera.

The spaceman then walked toward Reeves with open arms indicating he meant no harm.  Reeves said the spaceman looked humanoid and had slanted eyes and a slit-like mouth.
When Reeves overcame his fears, he stood up.  That’s when the spaceman tapped him on the shoulder three times and pointed toward the ship.  Reeves said he walked toward the ship and at the encouragement of the spaceman climbed the ladder just high enough to peer inside.  He saw a table, instruments and gauges, but quickly retreated down the ladder. 
The spaceman, who was waiting at the bottom of the ladder, then guided Reeves to an open area about 80 yards from the ship.  With a stick he picked up from the ground, the spaceman drew a symbol in the sand that indicated the place where his spaceship would land again.  After that, he pointed to the eastern horizon, then the western horizon and then drew a line in the sand.  He did this 29 times.  Somehow he made Reeves understand that he would return in 29 days. 
After the spaceship took off, Reeves found two sheets of alien writing on the ground at the landing site.  Though the sheets looked like paper, they weren’t.  Reeves and a friend, who also was a local news reporter and photographer, tested the “paper” in various ways.  They even tried to burn an edge of it but it would not burn.

The military showed up

When the reporter’s account of Reeve’s story was published in the local newspaper, U.S. Air Force personnel showed up and confiscated the sheets of alien writing.  Later copies of the sheets were returned to Reeves but not the originals.
Jerry emphasized that Reeves was an honest, kind and quiet man who retired to Brookville from the North.  In our research to confirm all of this, we found a number of positive testimonies from those who knew him. 
One woman wrote:  “He used to have Sunday dinner with my family back in the 60’s and 70’s almost every Sunday.  He also helped me on a science report for school and we did it on his experience and he also told me that the space people took him to their planet which was called Monheaya which he said was what we know as the North Star.  I submitted my paper and never received it back from my teacher.”
Another person wrote:  “I knew him, spent time with him and watched him during the days after his encounter.  Did you know that his hair became less gray and he appeared younger after the encounter?  Last time I spoke to him he was 82 years old and just as spry as he was at 65.”
Jerry told us that when Reeves got older he moved to South Florida to be closer to family and that he lived to be 104.
And, yes, Jerry told me the spaceman did return 29 days later but his ship was prevented from landing by jets from the nearby MacDill Air Force Base.

A walk on the Moon

Reeves continued to have meetings with his spaceman and other space people over the next six years.  In August of 1968, about a year before Neal Armstrong walked on the Moon, Reeves was taken on a quick flight and to the backside of the Moon.  They actually landed and Reeves was escorted into a clear domed base where he was able to walk comfortably without any kind of special gear.  He returned to Earth with gray Moon dust in the cuffs of his pants and a souvenir crystal about the size of a baseball.  Reeves showed his treasures to a number of people, but kept them locked and hidden so the military/government would not confiscate them as they had done with the sheets of alien writing.

Reeves’ flight to another planet

On his days off, Jerry said he often stopped at that special landing spot in hopes he, too, would meet an alien.  Then one day he saw something that put him on full alert - three sets of shoe prints in the sand.  There were normal human shoe prints in the middle and quite unique sets of shoe prints on each side.   It looked like someone, probably Reeves, had been escorted away by two spacemen.
Jerry took a quick look around and then decided to rush home to get his mother to come and see what he had found.  When they returned to the special spot, Jerry’s mother began searching the area more thoroughly and discovered a red broom stick stuck in the ground.  That was a sign from Reeves.  He had told them he would always take his makeshift walking stick with him to the landing spot and if they ever found it stuck vertically in the ground that would mean he had gone with the aliens.
For four or five days, Jerry said Reeves was missing.  He wasn’t at his home, his laundry was left on the clothesline, and his little dog was left inside the house unfed.  Jerry’s family immediately fed the little dog, which was the love of Reeve’s life, but they really worried about Reeves.
Days later, they got a phone call from Reeves.  With stress in his voice, he asked them to come over.  They rushed to his house and found him sitting in a chair weeping and gasping “Nobody will believe me!  Nobody will believe me!”  This was so out of character for their quiet and rather reclusive friend.  Eventually, he calmed down enough to tell them what had happened.
The space people had taken him to their home planet which they called “Moniheya.”  These were not like the spaceman Reeves first encountered who had slanted eyes and a slit for a mouth.  These space people were beautiful – tall and slim with smooth skin and facial features a bit like those of Orientals on Earth.  They wore tight-fitting jumpsuits and all appeared to be about 30 years old though they told him they were much older than that. 
In Earth time, Reeves said it took 1 ½ days to get to Moniheya and the same amount of time to return to Earth.  He also said he spent a day and a night on the alien planet as the guest of a couple with two children.  Reeves marveled at the appliances or devices in the home but didn’t understand what they were.

Reeves spoke of two modes of transportation on Moniheya.  There were moving sidewalks which didn’t exist on Earth at that time but can be found today in most large airports.  Then he spoke of “rockers” that cruised just above the ground.  Perhaps they were a bit like Volkswagen’s prototype electromagnetic hover car (shown above) that was introduced on Earth in May 2012.
Reeves said the Moniheya had two Suns and the sea was a pinkish color with creatures in it that looked like dinosaurs.   Reeves also said the rain was blue.  Jerry saw possible proof of the blue rain because Reeves returned to Earth with blue stains on the shirt he was wearing.  Reeves said the people on Moniheya stayed out of the rain for that reason.

THE DEAD FLIES MYSTERY

 Golden Field of Barley

By Janet Ossebaard, The Netherlands, used with permission

On July 17, 1998 I discovered a strange side-phenomenon of the crop circles in the Cher Hill Formation (Wiltshire, England): Dead Flies.

The small, black flies were attached to the seed heads in a strange fashion: stuck with their tongues/snouts as if glued to the plants.


It seemed like they were consuming something at the moment the circle making energies struck.  But not only that; they seemed to have died in shock.  Their legs and wings were stretched out; all they were attached with were their snouts. But there was more.  I also found other variants.  Some flies seemed to have been exploded; body and limbs scattered all over the seed heads. It reminded me of the blown nodes, the expulsion cavities that are created when the energies strike the plants shortly but fiercely.  Were these "blown flies"?

Other flies seemed to be in perfect shape, but when I took a closer look they too turned out to be dead.  And there were variants somewhere in between those who were attached to the plants, drugged as they seemed, but who flew away after I carefully freed them from the seed heads.  They first needed about ten minutes to recover, after which they took off.

Nobody had ever seen this before, me neither.  For a while, it looked like a new lead, a new hint so to speak.  Something that would give us new insights.

Were they flies killed in order to help us discover more?  Quite necessary, I would say.  After all, we don't get much further with our research, do we?

But then, a more perceptive 'croppy' - Ed Sherwood - told me he already saw dead flies on crop circles back in 99; he just never reported them.  So, nothing new after all.  We had just never really looked well enough.

What a weird side-phenomenon - dead flies.  I don't have a clue right now what to think of it.  I sampled the entire formation (including of course the dead flies) and sent them to Dr. Levengood in the USA and to a British lab.  Dr. Levengood is working on them so hopefully we will get some answers at short notice.

But until then, some question just won't leave my mind:

o  If the crop circles are indeed characterized by kindness, friendship, love and light, as so many believe (and I am one of them), then how come animals die in them?

o  If the energies are so strong and powerful that they can drug and explode insects, to what extent is the phenomenon safe and peaceful?

Sometimes I wonder when the phenomenon will give us some answers instead of more questions.
