SABBATICAL

Unfortunately I have had an accident which has caused a great amount of pain.  Sleeping has become a problem.

I fell through the back door and landed on the floor.  It was impossible to get up.  Since that time I have fallen six times.  All of a sudden my knees give way and then I am on the floor.  That happened last night again.  I finally went to sleep on the floor.

I decided to take a rest from my blog.  When I get better I will start again.  I hope you all will understand.

Remember the meetings will begin on September 21.  I hope this will all be behind me by then.

SOUTH AFRICAN ORBS

From Filer's Files

 

South Africa Orbs

Johannesburg -- Clinton Morris reports, “After witnessing these orange orbs twice last year and two discs, one brownish red and the other silver. I actually saw an orange orb eject out of the center of the silver disc that was no more than 120 meters above my head at the time.” I've spent nearly a year outside my home EVERY night. It even snowed in Johannesburg last year which is very rare as you can imagine, I've been pretty diligent in keeping observation. The amount of orbs I'm seeing lately has almost tripled in the last three months. I would normally see about three to five a night and note times and directions in my journal. 

What became apparent was that the majority of these craft were not satellites, aircraft, balloons or anything other than orbs of orange/white light. What's disturbing is that we are now seeing sometimes five an hour. I even had one friend with me suggest the flight paths were outlining letters in the sky (really?) I'm going to now keep detailed descriptions of the directions and heights of each sighting and try test his theory. It may be wilder than own...I gave up trying to post individual sightings as a fruitless task due to the sheer number I'm able to observe on any clear night. 

I've invited a few friends with me to see "the show" as I call it and have had a few interesting responses. My favorite was a girlfriend that called them Angels. I've seen a disc 90-100 meters across that spits out 30 meter glowing orbs at random intervals. 

As a scientist making careful observations daily, the number of craft visible whilst other aircraft are in the sky at the same time is disturbing in itself. Another interesting fact is up until I take a friend out to see "the show" they all say they've never seen anything like it. Afterwards they call me and say "did you see the one flying southeast at 7:30 pm last night?" It confirms I'm not crazy and their calls reassure me. I've got an excel spreadsheet of sightings going back now 12 months. There is a definite increase in these things buzzing around up there. Thanks for the weekly file!

Bigfoot likely source of eerie sounds in Oregon swamp

Sylvia and Denise Minthorn – Edge of the soggy wetlands where hair-raising sounds are heard

Bigfoot or animals?  Strange sounds coming from

swamp on Umatilla Indian Reservation

By Richard Cockle for The Oregonian

January 20, 2013 - Nobody ventures into this soggy wetland on the edge of Mission on the Umatilla Indian Reservation after dark when the shrieks begin.  Resident Sylvia Minthorn once thought about plunging in to find the source of the cries.  “I used to play back there when I was a kid,” she says.  “But then I thought, ‘What if I do find something?  Then what am I going to do?’

The eerie late-night serenades began in November and emanate from a brushy swamp on the Umatilla Indian Reservation east of Pendleton, Oregon.  The cries range from high-pitched screams to basso profundo roars.

"It's causing an uproar around here," said Sylvia Minthorn, who lives in a tribal housing unit near the swamp, where she used to play as a child.

She's seen grown men's hair stand on end when the shrieks commence.

Colleen Chance, a tribal housing authority employee, keeps a recording of the howls on her iPhone.  "It's kind of spooky," she said. "Some say it's foxes, some say it's a female coyote and some say it's Sasquatch. I don't know what it is."

So far no one's pinpointed the source of the noise on this rugged 178,000-acre reservation that extends into northeastern Oregon's Blue Mountains and is home to about 1,500 people. The swamp in question borders the old reservation community of Mission, in a canyon north of the Wildhorse Resort and Casino.

Phone calls about the wails started coming in last month to the housing authority, and the office has had a half dozen so far. More could come in because the cries are continuing from time to time.

Some tenants of the reservation's 190 rentals and 32 homes admitted being afraid and one man reported that his dogs were too terrified to go outside, said Josh Franken, the housing authority's interim director.

"This guy was rather scared himself," Franken said. A rumor quickly spread that the cries were made by "a young Bigfoot that had got separated from the rest of his clan," he said.

It's difficult to shrug off the accounts, said Marcus Luke, a housing authority homeownership counselor. Many on the reservation "are woodsy-type folks," familiar with animals and not prone to taking fright at nighttime commotion, he said.

Daughter and mother Sylvia and Denise Minthorn have both heard the strange nighttime cries coming from the brushy wetland behind them. Denise thinks whatever is in the swamp is calling to another creature elsewhere on the 178,000-acre Umatilla Indian Reservation.

Some members of the Confederated Umatilla, Walla Walla and Cayuse tribes believe the noises come from Bigfoot, the mythical manlike creature said to roam Pacific Northwest forests.

Bigfoot is part of the tribal culture, tradition and spiritual beliefs, said Luke, a follower of the Washat, or Seven Drums religion, and a longhouse drummer and singer. "We have stories about it," he said.

Carl Sheeler, wildlife program manager for the tribes, said several animals in this corner of Oregon are known for making strange noises, including cougars. "When they are breeding, it is absolutely hair-raising," he said.

"And the first time a person hears a fox calling in the night, kind of echoing around the canyons, it raises the hair on the back of your neck," Sheeler said. "That wetland is a perfect place to have an echoing call sound eerie."

But many who've heard the racket dismiss such notions. "Foxes do sound creepy," said Sylvia Minthorn. "But it's not the same sound, not even close."

Her mother, Denise Minthorn, believes more than one creature is out there in the darkness. She's heard shrieks from two directions at once, as if two animals were communicating.

"It was no noise I've ever heard before," she said. "It was like barroom brawls and laughter."

Armand Minthorn, Sylvia Minthorn's uncle and a tribal spiritual leader, said he may have stumbled onto evidence of Bigfoot's presence while hunting in the Blue Mountains many years ago.

"Right in the middle of the road was this great big footprint, perhaps 16 or 18 inches long and manlike,” he said. The enormous stride carried it across the road, leaving one footprint in the middle, he said.  Nevertheless, he said, the current shrieks could be anything. "We probably will never know what made those sounds," he said.

PHOTO & ENLARGEMENT OF STRANGE OBJECT.

Report a map error

Description: The witness took this photo with an Iphone. He did not say anything about the photo other than the comment: “Cigar or Tube Shaped?” The witness also said that the photo was taken in a northwest direction. I have written to the witness to find out if the object was seen or later discovered in the background of a photo. In either case the object appears intriguing.
Response to Investigator Questions: I saw the object. It was there for awhile before I took the picture. The photo is looking north/northwest. I was driving to the Twin Cities from Rochester, MN.

From what I could see of the UFO photographed by a witness over Rochester, Minnesota, May 26, 2013, the object seemed similar in design to the nine UFOs seen near Mount Rainier, Washington, June 24, 1947. Both similar objects of 1947 and 2013 appeared to be disc-shaped or fan-shaped with a curved front and tapering wings on each side. The May 2013 sighting would be 65 years after June 1947. Could the 2013 Rochester UFO be one of the nine similar Mount Rainier discs seen during 1947? I may have seen one of the 1947 UFOs over Seattle on July 4, 1947, and Frank Ryman took a celebrated photo of a similar silvery UFO over northern Seattle on July 4, 1947. This bolsters my theory the UFOs may be related to each other under some intelligent and wide-ranging plan and that 1947 to 2012 equals 65 years to humans, but only about 94 minutes of time to the UFOs. Hence, a thousand years to humans could represent only 24 hours to the UFOs.

  I just learned that the witness had been watching the object for some time before taking the photo. Many UFOs photographed are not seen and only later discovered in photos.

Thanks Bill:
I had the same thought as Kenneth Larson. It looks like the ones Kenneth Arnold saw over Mt. Rainier. Time is nothing to the aliens.

EYE WITNESS REPORT OF A CROP CIRCLE FORMING IN POLAND

Mr. Jerzy Szpulecki, Wylatowo, Poland
June 30, 2000, approx. 12:15 am
Approximately 7 minutes
Wylatowo, Poland
Interviewed by Nancy Talbott

DESCRIPTION OF EVENT:

In the early morning of July 22, 2000 Mr. Jerzy Szpulecki, a farmer in this rural area of central Poland, was working late at night on a new house he was building on the edge of a wheat field farmed by his neighbor, Tadeusz Filipczak.  At 12:15 am the lights in his house suddenly went out and he came downstairs to check for a short circuit or other possible cause.  As he reached the first floor he could see, through the large windows in the front of the house, that the street-lights on the nearby road were also out, and that there were no lights in houses nearby.

Almost immediately he then saw a "strange" red light in the sky coming down very slowly, toward the field in front of his house.  The light was a very bright red, spherical in shape, about 0 m (65 +/- ft.) in diameter and, when first seen, was about 500 m above the trees on the left side of the field.  As the light came closer he saw what looked like a turbulent and rotating misty "white fog" above the red light which - as the object descended about 80m out in the field and directly in from of his windows - then appeared to be "some type of craft."  As it got closer it banked at an angle and continued to descend to the field, but very very slowly.

At this point the glowing, bright red sphere seemed to be an outer shell of some sort, surrounding an inner white mass of fog, which was constantly swirling or rotating within the red sphere.  As this strange object got closer to the ground it began to enlarge into a much bigger, but still round, object and seemed to "discharge something into the air around it."  Mr. Szpulecki says the he thinks the "craft" was the color of the white mist" (meaning that there was a white foggy material swirling around an actual solid craft, all of which was not inside the red sphere).  He also had the impression that the surrounding red shell was "driving" the object inside.

As the object descended to about 20m above the ground he began to notice a "pressure" on his body, and as it got close to the ground sparks erupted, "like a short-circuit... I saw it touch the ground... when it touched down there were brilliant flashes like lightning"  And, as it landed, multiple "arms" suddenly extended out of the center of the object, slowly bending down to the ground.  At this point the red glow became so bright "it was hard to watch because it hurt my eyes."  There seemed to be four of these "arms" (tentacle-like protrusions, which angled down toward the ground) and which were all the same length and bluish in color and on the ends of each of the "arms" there was an even brighter, round, violet-colored light-ball.  These violet light-balls were the brightest part of the whole object and wee very difficult to watch" because the brightness hurt his eyes.

Mr. Szpulecki was not completely certain about the number of these protruding arms, saying first that there were four of them, but later saying there may have been five of six.  His primary impression, through, was that there were only four.

At this point the witness noticed that there were at least three cars stopped on the road next to the field, their occupants apparently also watching the object. The next day he heard from other villagers that "many" people had seen the glowing red ball of light as it crossed the sky heading toward the field.

Mr. Szpulecki reports that the object  sat touching the ground for "at least a minute," with sparks flying and giving off an intense light, and that it was during this time that he became aware of a physical "pressure" on his body.  This sensation of something pressing on his body, and particularly on his head, was noticed most as the "arms" were extended from the object as it settled down to the ground.  Even though only the top half of his body was exposed to the windows, he is sure that he felt this strong pressure all over.  He reported no typical electromagnetic effects (such as the hair on his arms, or back of his neck rising) and did not have a headache, and states that he smelled nothing unusual and heard no sound at all during the entire episode.  On an instinctual level he was certain that this "energy" (as evidenced by both the brilliant light being given off by the object, and the pressure on his body) was not harmful to people.

After what the witness states was about a minute the protruding arms retracted and the object, whose white swirling center continued to rotate constantly inside the red outer shell, rose into the air a few meters and then descended into the field again, a "short distance" away. Again the "arms" (with the brilliant violet spheres of light on the ends) protruded out of the object, bending down to the ground and again he felt a very strong pressure on his body, particularly on his head.  "Many sparks" also accompanied this second landing of the object, but this time Mr. Szpulecki states that they were "returning to the mist" instead of coming from it.. that the sparks were coming up to the object from the ground.

Finally, after sitting on the ground this second time for about a minute, the arms again retracted and the "red shell closed in again around the white center" so that all he could see at this point was the red ball of light - and the whole object started to rise, becoming smaller in overall size as it rose.  Its red glow, "like a brilliant sunset," became so intense that it lit up the room in which the witness was standing.  Slowly, it simply drifted away across the fields and disappeared in the distance.  Mr. Szpulecki estimates the amount of time that had elapsed from when he first saw the object to when it disappeared at about 7 minutes.

Although when he had first spotted the object he thought it was something "on fire," during the sighting it became clear that the field did not catch fire and he got the impression instead that this was something "other-worldly" maybe "extraterrestrial."  He stated he was profoundly moved emotionally and completely awed and amazed by what he had seen, stating that "it was beautiful" and that he had not felt threatened or been afraid.  This intense emotional response lasted for about half-an-hour after the object departed, "like after drinking a glass of beer."  Again he reiterated that he felt this energy was not harmful to people.  While interviewing Mr. Szpulecki (and on the videotape) it was apparent that he was still markedly moved by his recollection of this experience.

Since the electricity in the house was still out Mr. Szpulecki went back upstairs to retrieve his wristwatch before returning to his home and discovered that it had stopped at 12:01 a.m, the time when he believed the power had been interrupted.  Because it was obvious that the wheat field was not on fire and because he had never heard of a crop circle, he returned to his home in the village.

The next morning a neighbor, whose house also faces the field in which the object had landed, informed Mr. Szpulecki that there was a strange marking in the wheat field - a pictogram-style crop circle which was, it turned out, flattened into the wheat in the precise location where the amazing object had landed the night before.  Furthermore, the design of this pictogram (described by the neighbor as "something like a cross") was strikingly similar to the witness's description of the strange object itself with its "arms" extended, ending in the smaller violet light spheres on the end of each.  In another field on the north side of the road (only a few meters away) an additional 20m diameter ringed circle was also found.  Both men struggled to grasp the significance of the symbols, but were unable to "understand the meaning of the signs."

Many people described the formation in Wylatowo in 2000 as being "cross-like" in character, and the crop circle design at Golabki in 2002 resembled a Celtic Cross -- and both closely approximated the fiery red object which Mr. Szpulecki describes landing in the field in front of his house. Whether these events are in any way associated with the very similar mark found in 2001, embedded in a carp's body many miles away, is unknown, but in an overwhelmingly Catholic country with an enduring interest in spiritual matters it is surely understandable that a good deal of curiosity has been aroused.

Philippines cemetery provides Manila's poor a place to live among the dead

Thousands of families have made city graveyard their home as authorities grapple with rising population and housing shortage

Every morning, Alberto Lagarda Evangelista, 71, leaves the two-storey, lemon-yellow home he has lived in for the past decade and walks to work at the cemetery next door. As a caretaker of about 20 graves, Evangelista earns just 20,000 pesos (£315) a year, a sum so small that he must share his house with seven other people – all of whom are dead.
Evangelista lives and works in the Cementerio del Norte, a sprawling, 54-hectare green space in north Manila that is also home to some 1,000 other families. Here in the Philippines' largest public graveyard, century-old tombs have been converted into stalls selling sachets of shampoo and instant noodles, clothes lines are strung between crosses and car batteries power radios, karaoke machines and television sets. Evangelista's home is a mausoleum housing eight graves. The breezy second storey where the owners pay their annual respects to the dead doubles as his bedroom. "Just look at my view," he says, pointing his cigarette out towards the grave-studded horizon.
Today, the shady lanes are busy with the sundry activities of any normal neighbourhood: a group of boys plays basketball; adults while away the afternoon heat with sodas and playing cards; couples canoodle atop the graves that double as their beds; and women prepare chicken adobo in their mausoleum cafes.
The cemetery's inhabitants rank among the poorest of the poor in Manila, a capital where roughly 43% of the city's 13 million residents live in informal settlements like this one, according to a 2011 Asian Development Bank report. This Roman Catholic country has one of Asia's fastest growing populations and a massive housing shortage – meaning that the urban poor must usually find, build or cobble together housing anywhere there is space: under bridges, along highways, in alleys, perched atop flood channels, or even among the dead.
No one knows exactly when the cemetery became a living village. But many of Manila North's 6,000-odd residents were born here and expect to spend their whole lives here. Gravedigger Steve Esbacos, 52, a muscular man with blue-rimmed eyes, was born and raised in the same mausoleum where he now raises his own four children. "Sometimes I don't like living here, because it's dirty and it smells bad," he says, before admitting that he's never wanted to live anywhere else. "My father is buried just over there and I don't know where else I'd go."
Ramil and Josephine Raviz run a stall selling instant noodles and peanuts to residents and mourners. They earn enough money to send their 10-year-old daughter to school, and say they prefer life here to the possibilities "outside" the cemetery's four walls.
"When I first came to Norte 30 years ago, there weren't so many families here – it was quiet and peaceful and safe, very different to the outside slums in Manila," says Ramil, 46, in his mausoleum housing a fan, fridge, rocking chair, microwave, blankets and mattresses, and six graves. "But once people realised they could work here and live here for free, they moved in."
The cemetery hasn't retained that peaceful aura. Robberies and muggings are common, residents admit, with gangs said to be working different corners of the sprawling greenery. Youth unemployment is high and alcohol cheap. City authorities have repeatedly threatened to evict those living here. But grave-dwellers have found a way to stay on despite the pressure, using ad-hoc "deeds" from the families whose graves they maintain, allowing them to live and work on-site.
The issue is not so much people living in the cemetery – where quarters can be more spacious and cleaner than in a shanty on one of the city's easily flooded riverways – but the fact that Manila is not properly addressing the needs of the urban poor, says Father Norberto Carcellar, director of Philippine Action for Community-Led Shelter Initiatives. "Poor people can pay as much as four times [the normal rates] for electricity and water in their shanties because mafia syndicates take over and they have no choice but to pay [the higher rates]," he says.
"These people are 'invisible' – they can be evicted at any time, they face floods, they live on the periphery and the government generally likes to send them very far away to other provinces [to deal with the problem]."
Under a $1.2bn (£800m) government mandate to clean up Manila, that may soon change. Recent official figures show 104,000 families live in danger areas such as graveyards and riverbeds, and the city aims to move 550,000 of the most vulnerable residents to safer destinations. Some will be residents of Manila North, yet no one in the cemetery seems ready – or willing – to go.
"I often think, what would have happened if I had finished school," Evangelista says quietly as he navigates the steep ladder from his open-air verandah back downstairs into the main mausoleum. "I only made it to third grade. Maybe I would have had a better job to live somewhere else." As he knocks on the solid mausoleum walls, he says: "This is the best house I've lived in; the strongest, safest, with the best view."

MYSTERIOUS ORBS IN ANCIENT TEMPLE

FROM DISCOVERY NEWS

Archaeologists Uncover Hundreds of Mysterious Orbs in Ancient Temple

In news that will likely delight Apollo 11 deniers, Roswell frequenters, and Illuminati enthusiasts alike, archaeologists have discovered hundreds of mysterious, once-metallic spheres buried deep beneath an ancient pyramid in Mexico City. And we have absolutely no idea what they're for.

Described by Jorge Zavala, an archaeologist at Mexico's National Anthropology and History Institute, as an "unprecedented discovery," the orbs have called one of the most important temples in an ancient, pre-Hispanic city home for the past 1,800 years.

But this wasn't just your average ancient township; the city, Teotihuacan, was once one of the biggest in the world, boasting over 100,000 residents at a time when the Earth itself only held around 200 million. And it's this relatively massive population that makes the city's total abandonment for "mysterious reasons" in 700 AD all the more puzzling.

Plus, it seems that the Teotihuacans knew damn well they weren't coming back. Before fleeing the famine and/or alien invasion that consumed their home, people had filled their beloved temple's tunnels with so much debris and ruins that it took scientists several years of planning alone before they could dig their way in.

Unearthing the Tomb

Archaeologists Are Unlocking a 1900-Year-Old Burial Chamber's Secrets—With Drones

The fruit of all that prepatory labor? A team of wireless robots working together to offer a glimpse into an increasingly esoteric past.

The robotic system, dubbed Tlaloque, includes a larger rover to take over carpool duty for two smaller mechanisms it chauffeurs around the ruins' dilapidated tunnels. Once the trio arrives at an actual chamber, one vehicle will break off and take infrared shots of the entire space while its smaller, flight-enabled drone friend zooms around to capture video footage.

In this case, it's the infrared scanner that stumbled upon the orb-loaded chambers, which held hundreds of the clay-cored, yellow-tinted balls currently stumping scientists.

Fool's Gold

The yellow color comes from jarosite, which forms as pyrite—or fool's gold—oxidizes. So back in 300 AD, when the Teotihuacanos used these variously sized (1.5 to 5 inches) balls in whatever ceremonies or rituals they engaged in, they were looking at what might have seemed like beautiful, glimmering balls of gold.

As George Gowgill, professor emeritus at Arizona State University told Discovery News:

Pyrite was certainly used by the Teotihuacanos and other ancient Mesoamerican societies. Originally the spheres would have shown brilliantly. They are indeed unique, but I have no idea what they mean.

As the walls themselves were also dusted with pyrite—which would have given a lovely golden sheen to the pottery and crystal-covered masks scattered around the room—the archaeologists believe that "high-ranking people, priests, or even rulers went down to the tunnel to perform rituals."

Ancient Intentions

What these golden-ball-necessitating rituals might have entailed, though, remains just as inconclusive. As Zavala succinctly and ominously states: "No one can establish their function."

It seems entirely possible, though, that they served some sort of religious purpose; Teotihuaca—translation: the place where men become gods—began as a religious center for the region, and the site has been thought to include a burial ground. The Teotihuacan people worshiped eight gods, and were known to practice human sacrifices during the dedication of buildings like, say, giant temples. All of which would have looked quite compelling against a gleaming gold backdrop.

Full answers may still come, and soon; there are still three chambers left for the researchers (and their robot friends) to go digging through. That last one might yield an even bigger surprise, its thick walls were demolished about 1,800 years ago so that the Teotihuacan people could deposit "something very important" in the safest part they could. Forget golden orbs; we might just be in for crystal skulls. [Mexico National Institute of Anthropology and History via Discovery News]

SPACE BABY

THE SPACE BABY (from the Fortean Times)

Cynthia Appleton (formerly Spencer) was 27 years old in 1957. After leaving the Woman’s Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS) some years earlier, she married Ronald Appleton and they eventually settled at 87 Fentham Road. Until 1957 the Appletons lived unremarkable lives. Ronald worked hard as a metalworker and provided for Cynthia, who bore him two children, Susan in 1955 and Janice in 1957. To all intents and purposes they were the perfect nuclear family in an imperfect post-nuclear world (see below).

19 November 1957 was just an ordinary winter’s day, with Cynthia Appleton going about her routine domestic routines. Then, shortly after lunchtime, her world-view was utterly transformed.


Less than two months later, in the Birmingham Evening Dispatch, Cynthia Appleton gave the first public account of what had taken place: “It was early afternoon. My children were having a rest and I went into the lounge where the baby was asleep in her pram. There, just a few feet away, stood this slender white-skinned man. He had blond hair. He was the same as any human being, except that he wore a kind of dome over his head and a tight-fitting all-in-one suit of a grey metallic colour. I was rooted to the spot – and terrified – until he spoke. He said we were going about space flight the wrong way and that men of his world – which he did not name – would come to Earth before we reached theirs.”

This initial public statement was, however, just the barest outline of Appleton’s experiences, which developed over a three-year period. UFO researcher and clinical psychologist Dr John Dale interviewed Appleton many times over this period. Dale is missing in action, his notes lost, but ufologist Jenny Randles copied some of them, giving us a fuller picture of Cynthia Appleton’s claims. It seems that events had actually begun on 16 November, when Cynthia had suffered a blackout while doing the housework. This, her visitors later informed her, was a “failed attempt at contact”. According to her interviews with Dr Dale, the 19 November contact began when Appleton “became aware of an atmosphere. It seemed like a rosy coloured darkness materialized outside. The light did not seem to penetrate into the living room.” The entity then appeared in the room from nowhere, and the light returned to normal. Appleton described how the entity “spoke to me into my mind, saying, ‘Do not be afraid’.”


Through telepathic communication the entity told Appleton he was “from another world, but do not want to take you over because the world is so good with you… we wish to live in unison but cannot until you stop all wars.” The visitor went on to state that he knew space-flight experiments – “to get to us” – were taking place, but that the methods being used were fundamentally wrong: “Your scientists are pulling against the greatest force of gravity by going straight up – you should travel with a sideways attitude.” And with that Zen-like suggestion, the being slowly opened his arms and a ‘TV set’ appeared in the space between them. This appeared to be a holographic image – unknown in the 1950s – in three dimensions and full colour. For some reason, Cynthia was more stunned by the colour than anything else about the manifestation. The ‘living image’ as she called it, showed a classic flying saucer with flat rim and transparent dome. On its underside there were three half spheres. Appleton commented: “These spaceships were like nothing I have ever seen in my life before. They seemed to take off and hovered in space for two or three seconds, went off to the left, then they went very quickly to the right”.


Cynthia’s crash course in saucer technology included being shown the saucer’s power source – which she drew and later showed to Dr Dale. Her sketch depicted a central hub with a series of curved arms, like spokes. These, she was told, rotated and “collected power” from the atmosphere. She was then informed: “your greatest power is under the sea. It is there in great quantity just for the taking.” The entity also revealed that he was from “Gharnasvarn”, which Earth people called Venus, and that he would return. The holographic TV set then blinked out and, along with the entity, vanished. Appleton told Dr Dale that her visitor “did not seem like a vision, because there was a three-dimensional depth and you could not see through him. He did actually seem to be there.” After he had disappeared, Appleton noticed the entity had been standing on a sheet of discarded newspaper that now had a scorch mark on it. Dale later saw this and noted that it looked like the result of a “lightning strike or small electrical discharge”. Unfortunately, this potentially vital piece of physical evidence was removed by reporters from the Birmingham Evening Gazette and no more was heard of it.


Soon after this initial contact, Appleton was approached by a local clergyman, the Reverend GE Tiley, vicar of Powick, near Worcester. Tiley made several visits to the Appleton household in late 1957 and early 1958, and on 12 January 1958 made her experiences the focus of his Sunday sermon. Tiley’s congregation may have been somewhat surprised when he told them:“If you take the trouble, as I have, to study very deeply, you cannot possibly – if you have an honest, open, sincere mind – review the mass of evidence from all over the world that men other than ourselves exist, and refute that evidence. I believe they do exist, for what it’s worth, and their visits to this Earth are like the Star of Bethlehem.” The vicar continued: “I feel very grateful to have had the chance to sit with her in her kitchen and talk about it. A higher hand than mine led me there. These men told this woman that they have overcome war, poverty and disease and that they had passed through the same stages as we of this world. They came with a message of brotherhood and love. They want to help us.”Rev. Tiley may have believed Cynthia had been visited by spacemen, but the Birmingham Psychic Society had other ideas. BPS spokesman Bernard Payne conducted a lengthy interview with Mrs Appleton, and was convinced she “believed the truth of her story”. Payne planned an experiment in which Mrs Appleton would re-enact her first encounter, repeating exactly the same tasks, at the same time of day, in an effort to recall more details, a technique often used by police in the reconstruction of a crime. To be on the safe side, a medium would be present, as would a tape recorder and a ‘super ray’ machine. Payne commented: “We are not sure what will happen, but I think something is bound to occur. We have open minds on the subject at the moment, but I think the visitation will prove to be of a psychic nature.” Sadly, we are not informed of the results of this experiment, or indeed whether it ever took place.
On 7 January, a few days prior to Tiley’s space sermon, Appleton had received her second visit from the stranger from Venus. Once again, he appeared suddenly, accompanied by a burst of rose-tinged light. But this time he had brought along another entity, whom he described as his ‘superior’. Neither wore helmets, and Appleton could now see her first visitor wore his blond hair at shoulder length whilst his superior had shorter, brown, curly hair. They explained that ‘special brainwaves’ were what enabled their contacts with her, and that their appearances weren’t physical but were a ‘projection’.


On subsequent visits, the visitors had discarded their archetypal space apparel, and instead sported black business suits and homburg hats! They also eschewed materialisation in favour of a more conventional means of transport, arriving by car – a large black one with tinted windows. Shades of the ‘Men in Black’ also permeated their surreal conversations, which veered between the mundane and the miraculous – on one occasion Cynthia was told that their saucer was waiting for them in the vicinity of Edinburgh.
On each of the six or so visits Appleton received during 1958, her Venusian confidants revealed further information about themselves and their beliefs. Jenny Randles, working from Dr Dale’s notes, writes: “She was advised time did not exist. It was a philosophical invention by mankind. We failed to understand that all life was connected at some deep inner level, not separate as we assumed. Detailed scientific facts about the nature of atoms were then conveyed to her. She was told this was the basis to understand how to cure cancer and a complex cure was explained to her which involved changing the vibrational rate of atoms at a sub-atomic level, but Cynthia struggled to remember the terms used when she tried to describe this to Dr Dale.”


Nuclear physics and the sub-atomic world clearly held a special fascination for the Venusians and many conversations revolved around the subject. To the Venusians, science and religion appeared to be synonymous, and they were keen to share their version of the secret of the Universe, telling Cynthia: “The deity itself dwells at the heart and core of the atom”. Heady stuff for an Aston housewife. Cynthia told them it was pointless revealing this type of detailed technical and philosophical knowledge to her, because she simply didn’t understand. The entities disregarded her pleas of ignorance and continued with the visits and the information. What else did they talk to Cynthia about? “Oh, religion, politics, conditions in outer space, racial differences.” Although the entities told Cynthia on many occasions that they were not appearing to her in physical form, on one visit the Venusian said he had burned his hand and, oddly, asked her to bathe it in boiling water, which she did. After he had left, she noticed a piece of skin at the bottom of the bowl. Portions of the skin were later distributed to various ufologists, with one piece apparently being tested ‘by scientists’ at Birmingham University. The tests were, as is the way of these things, inconclusive. The keen blade of science determined the skin wasn’t human – but couldn’t say it was extraterrestrial. The best guess was that it was animal in nature, possibly from a pig. Quite why a university science department couldn’t correctly determine what kind of animal the skin was from isn’t clear. But as with many artifacts alleged to be from space – or fairyland – what appeared to be one thing was, in fact, another entirely. Where does the truth lie? Patrick Kent, a reporter for the Sunday People, asked Cynthia’s four-year-old daughter Susan if she remembered any of the Venusian’s visits. “Yes,” she replied, “I remember Mummy bathing the hand of a man with funny long hair and a fur collar.” Curiouser and curiouser…


Cynthia may have had the support of the Church of England, the Birmingham Psychic Society and the ufologists who took an interest in her case, but contact with interplanetary visitors came at a price, and many of her friends deserted her following the newspaper articles. “Some people are saying I’m a crank, some that I am loose-headed and others that I have been working too hard,” she commented. But she stuck to her guns, insisting her contacts were genuine.


Brinsley le Poer Trench (Lord Clancarty), then editor of Flying Saucer Review, was certain Mrs Appleton’s claims were genuine: “The woman’s story ties up in many respects with what we have learned in the last 10 years from others who have had contact with men from other worlds.” Indeed, it did. Throughout the 1950s, US contactees had been telling their own tales of meeting, talking to, and even taking flights with spacemen from planets within our Solar System, often Venus and Mars. Like Cynthia’s visitors, they were tall, humanoid, communicated by telepathy and traveled in classic, dome-shaped flying saucers, and espoused a philosophy similar to that explained to Cynthia Appleton.


These Venusian values were essentially socialist in nature, tinged with elements now familiar from many New Age philosophies – beliefs quite at odds with the ‘you’ve never had it so good’ capitalism of the 1950s. Contactees were repeatedly told by their mentors that to save Earth from certain disaster, mankind should stop tampering with nuclear forces and live in peace and harmony. Only then would we be included in the Intergalactic Parliament, taking our rightful place among the stars with other highly evolved civilisations. The ‘space brothers’ often illustrated their concerns by showing contactees visions of nuclear and ecological disasters. Cynthia Appleton was shown a vision of two asteroids colliding and causing widespread panic and devastation on Earth. This, she was told, was going to happen soon.


By contactee standards, Cynthia Appleton’s story was just another “girl meets spaceman” account – but when worlds collide, there’s always the chance sparks might fly… and Cynthia’s tale eventually took a turn for the truly bizarre. Once again, the newspapers quickly got hold of the story. This time, it made the national news. On 10 May 1959, a Sunday People headline screamed: “‘I’m going to have a baby from Venus’, says Mrs Cynthia Appleton, of 87 Fentham Road, Aston, Birmingham”. The sub-heading opined: “This is the biggest crackpot statement a woman has ever made”. The People reporter cut straight to the chase and suggested that Cynthia might have been imagining things, to which Mrs Appleton retorted, “but it’s true, and my husband believes it too”. She explained how the man from Venus had given her other predictions and instructions about her as yet undiagnosed pregnancy.
It transpired that the Venusian had called again in September 1958, informing Cynthia that she was “in the state of being with child”. It was news to her, but he was adamant, telling her she would give birth in late May 1959. The child would be a boy and would weigh exactly 7lb 3oz (3.3kg). He would be a leader of men at the age of 14 and he must be called Matthew.(A comment was sent in that said his correct name was Michael.) Shortly after the Venusian’s visit, Cynthia was pronounced pregnant and, with the spaceman’s predictions ringing in her ears, settled down to enjoy her pregnancy, apprehensive as to what might lie ahead.


The Venusians weren’t far off the mark with their prophecies. On 1 June 1959, Cynthia Appleton entered her cosmic confinement, and at two minutes after midnight on 2 June, gave birth. As foretold, the child was a boy with blond hair, weighing in at just a little over 7lb 3oz, almost exactly as the Venusians had predicted. The Appletons called him – what else? – Matthew, and were delighted with their gift from an alien world.Not long after the birth, Cynthia received a telepathic message giving her advance warning that her Venusian friend was going to call again soon, this time with a friend from the planet Uranus. Ron Appleton once again stood by his wife, but issued a stern warning to the visitor from Venus: “I believe everything Cynthia has told me, but I would love to have a yarn with him… If he shows up I’m going to tell him I’m Matthew’s father. If he doesn’t give me the right answers I’ll crack his ‘delicate features’ with a crowbar. His mate from Uranus will get the same.”


Nothing more was heard from the Appletons for over a year. Shortly after Matthew’s first birthday, in 1960, the Empire News ran the headline, “The ‘Venus’ baby is so normal”, reporting that 13-month-old Matthew was doing well, although Mrs Appleton was still at a loss to know what to make of it all. As yet there was no sign of Matthew becoming a leader of men, but Mrs Appleton was keeping a close eye on him. “I don’t know what I expected but I haven’t noticed the slightest thing that could be taken as a sign”, she said. She was also concerned that, since Matthew’s birth, contact with the Venusians had been somewhat sparse. “He used to pop in quite regularly every seven or eight weeks,” she said. “When he left, after forecasting Matthew’s birth, he said he would be looking in again soon. But he never returned. I just can’t make it out.”

And there, in July 1960, the trail goes cold. Newspapers never again mentioned Mrs Appleton or her ‘Venus baby’ and there was no major collision between two asteroids, which the spacemen had predicted. Matthew would have turned 14 on 1 June 1973, the year when he was prophesied to become a ‘leader of men’. History shows that, as yet, he appears not to have taken up this challenge.
Since the early 1960s, UFO publications have often repeated the ‘Venus Baby’ story, but added nothing of relevance to the narrative. I have made every attempt to trace Cynthia and Ron Appleton and their offspring, both terrestrial and extraterrestrial, but to no avail. Despite strong local newspaper interest in the story during 2002 and appeals for information, nothing was forthcoming. A search of the electoral register for the year 2000 showed there was just one Matthew Appleton in the Birmingham area, but he chose not to answer letters or telephone calls. Could it be that this is the correct Matthew Appleton, and that far from being a ‘leader of men’ he is merely embarrassed by his mother’s claims? Or is the real space baby living somewhere else, blissfully ignorant of his cosmic heritage?

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.
