On a lonely road, a 17-year old youth named Ricardo Limeres was riding his motorcycle when the headlight fell upon a weird-looking person standing on the left side of the road. According to Limeres, his motor cycle refused to obey him, and went against his wishes to within a few inches of the creature. The creature was over 6 FT tall, with a head "in the shape of a melon" and 3 eyes, which looked at him with a fixed stare. The monster stood motionless, then suddenly reached out with its right hand and grabbed Limeres' scarf. It then turned around in a manner "scarcely human" and began to walk away in a robot-like manner, leaving deep tracks in the dirt as it did so. An unidentified white light was seen low in the sky in the direction toward which the creature was moving.
 

SJD Comment: Sounds a lot like the creature in "The Thing" (the Howard Hawks one, not the John Carpenter).

A medical doctor named Caczue was driving to the city of Parana with his wife, when he saw a flying disk. It was surrounded with the classic luminous halo described by many people previously. He saw 2 strange persons walking along the road. They were over 6 FT tall, with light hair and huge eyes. They carried luminous objects on their foreheads, and with these they made signals for the car to stop. Dr. Caczue did not want to stop, and he was convinced that he was looking at extraterrestrial beings, so he floored it.

A peace officer, Francisco Piania, saw last night in the very heart of Milan, to "Martians" alight from a UFO. 
 

"I was doing my rounds of inspection when suddenly I heard a whistling behind me. At first I thought it was my ears, but the noise grew louder. As I was going to leave the courtyard, I saw a silver-aluminum disc, shining under the moon's rays, landing. I turned abruptly and stood paralyzed with emotion. I saw a strange being about 1 meter tall coming out of the disc. His spacesuit looked silver-florescent and emitted a bluish light. He was wearing a black helmet and made a gesture toward the dome or turret rising above the disc. Another person appeared at a porthole. The first man looked at me and then signaled for me to come toward him. At that moment, the other being signalled him, and he reboarded the disc and flew off."

Paul Padilla said he has seen UFOs five time in those years. And once, he said, he has returned from his encounter with a roll of film. If Padilla is the victim of fantasy, it's fantasy in Kodacolor. Last June 16, he said, he spent from 2:30 pm to 4 pm with the people -- men and women -- borne by the space machine. The UFO's occupants, said Padilla, were not superhuman. But they were superior to our species in physical qualities, and in the quantity of knowledge. UFO crew members, he said, expect a large-scale renewal of volcanic activity along the volcanic rim just west of Albuquerque.
 

Padilla said his first UFO sighting came on the west coast, when he conversed with the occupant of a small UFO. Once Padilla sighted a UFO near Landrith. This was the largest -- about 900 FT in diameter. The object he viewed near Peralta was about 160 FT across. From it stepped a number of people from the far distant galaxy of Coma Bernices,

At 0900 a middle-aged woman, who had seen a strange object hovering near her house the previous July, observed a gray-colored object 3.5 m long, hovering less that 2 m above ground. Through the transparent front part she could see three figures. Suddenly, one of the occupants was standing on the grass. He was clothed in "asbestos-textured coveralls" and face, hands, or feet were visible. When she asked, "What do you want?" the answer, in English, was: "one of our party knows you; we will return." The object then decreased in size, tilted, partially sank into the ground, grew to its previous size, and departed to the east, producing steam, a flash, and noise. (FSR 64, 6)
 

(SJD comment--it would be interesting to know if they returned.)

Between Isla Verde and Monte Maiz, Argentina, truck driver Ernesto Donles told police the following story:
 

"I was driving my truck to Isla Verde when a luminous object -- apparently a space ship -- surrounded by a light of blinding brilliance, came down near me. Three very tall beings, dressed in strange clothes and carrying unknown kinds of weapons, came out of it towards me. I lost control of my vehicle and drove into a ditch, but I finally got back onto the road and kept on driving at high speed. The three creatures kept coming after me. A blinding red light came out of their craft. The creatures followed me for about a mile and a half. When I finally arrived at the outskirts of the town of Monte Maiz, the suddenly stopped the persecution. They then got back into their craft, which disappeared into the distance."
 

The incident was confirmed by other witnesses, who at the moment were at a burial and claim to have seen a

A Newark Valley, PA farmer encountered two beings from a landed UFO on April 24th. It was kept quiet because the FBI had been notified. Gary Cox, as described by a supervising principal of the Newark Valley Consolidated Schools, "is a good substantial farmer of fine reputation." According to Cox's story, he was spreading manure in an open field on his 300-acre farm just NE of Newark Valley. Shortly before 10 am, he decided to check another part of the farm which is almost rounded by woods, to see whether that piece of ground was ready for plowing.
 

As he stepped through the woods toward this spot -- about a mile from his home -- he saw a shiny object that he thought at first was a discarded refrigerator. As he came closer, he saw that it was not a refrigerator, and he thought possible it was an airplane drop tank. Cox said it was 20 FT long, 10 FT wide, and shaped like an egg. It looked like aluminum, but more durable, and seemed to have

About 0530, some 12 hours after Lonnie Zamora saw the 3 creatures near Socorro, NM, US, a landing took place at Holloman AFB.
 

Alien craft were spotted by Holloman radar and were warned off, but apparently landed anyway. The base commander ordered an alert. Two interceptors were sent up to chase the alien ships from the area. The commander supposedly alerted both Edwards & Wright-Pat.
 

Three disc-shaped craft. One landed on the airfield, while two orbited. A sliding door opened & a ramp extended. Three aliens, dressed in jumpsuits & wearing some type of headdress, exited. Apparently a group of military officers were there to meet with the aliens. Communications were possible because of some type of device the aliens carried.
 

An air force crew was there to film the

The Lonnie Zamora Incident. 
 

Lonnie Zamora, a Socorro, NM policeman, was the major witness and he got to within a few yards of the UFO before it took off. He is described as a "highly reliable source." The story began with his sighting of a four-legged, egg-shaped object, and two persons, in a gully a mile south of the courthouse shortly before 6 pm. Zamora was patrolling Park Street...when he heard what he described as a blast or a roar. His first thought was that an aluminum building used to store explosives had blown up. The policeman...headed up a very rocky dirt road towards the building. On the third try, driving very slowly, he managed to get up the road which leads to the top of the mesa where the UFO had landed. He said that he first saw the object at an estimated distance of 150 YD, and thought it was an overturned car. Zamora was looking out of his car window as he drove towards the top of the mesa. He said one of two persons

Five young boys from the Woodside Avenue area, Vonklin, NY, said they saw what appeared to be a spaceman and his vehicle in a field about 2 miles from their homes. The boys said they were walking in the field...& saw the spaceman 50-75 YD away. The mother of two of the boys, Mrs. Traveras, said she first learned of the experience when 3 of the boys came running into her house shortly after 1230 seeking a jug of water. "They said they were taking water to the spaceman. They said they couldn't understand what he said, but that it sounded like he needed water. " Two of the youngsters at first denied they had seen a spaceman, but later said they had. (They had originally been afraid their grandfather would have given them a liking for fibbing). The children were then separated & made to tell about what they had seen. Each gave the same story.
 

They said the creature was about the size of a small boy, had a human-looking face, & wore a black suit &

An observer who visited the field later noticed matted foliage where the boys said the vehicle was. There were also

Darby logger Lou Smalley was driving his logging truck into the area for a load of logs. As he came out of a dip in the road, he sighted the creature on a rugged point of rocks above the road. "I got a good look at it for several seconds, and it wasn't human." Smalley commented. He said the creature was possible 5 FT tall, had a hairy or shaggy appearance & was not wearing clothing. "It stood upright like a man, but it wasn't human." As a hunter, Smalley was very familiar with animals in the area. 
 

There had been a slew of UFO reports from the area (the Bitter Root) for the previous 3 weeks.

Mr. S____, a young man on a bow-hunting trip, got separated from his companions and decided to hole up for the night. While seeking shelter, he saw 3 flying objects he took to be helicopters. Mr. S____ left his tree-nest and lit signal fires on the ridge overlooking Granite Creek Valley. The light he had first seen now appeared to be silvery objects circling his position. Two unknown objects were dropped by them. He took sanctuary in the lower branches of a tall pine tree. He saw 2 human-like individuals approaching his signal fires. They were garbed in silvery collarless suits, had unusual protruding eyes, and communicated with each other by unintelligible cooing noises. Mr. S____ said they were trying to dislodge him from his tree when they were joined by a third alien he called a robot. Mr. S____ fired some arrows at the robot, but failed to distract or divert any of the aliens. Then he tried lighting pieces of his clothing on fire and throwing

At Augusta Archer's archery range at Brand's Flats a local industrial worker saw 2 noiseless, unlighted flying craft, one about 20 YD across, one about 80. They were at rest on the ground some distance from him. 3 beings debarked from the smaller craft & approached within 12 yards of him. He said he froze, a double-edged axe in his hand. The being were 35-37 IN tall in his estimation. They were humanoid, except that one had very long fingers. "They seemed to look right through you," the witness said. He said they uttered sounds that were unintelligible to him, then turned around & walked back to the craft. A door opened, the three entered, & the door close, as it was as if the door molded itself to the ship--no evidence of a door after it closed.
 

The beings carried no weapons & did not appear hostile. They were dark in color & were wearing clothes the same color as their disk-shaped craft. The vessel was shiny looking. No

A Steven Houghton said he & 6 friends saw 3 little spacemen. They were driving in the Brands Flats, E of Staunton on US 250 when they saw what looked like a man walking toward the road from a field, but thought nothing of it until the man sat down near the road & seemed to be studying the cars passing by. They stopped the car & ran toward the man who dashed over a hill. Then two other little men appeared & also ran away.
 

The creatures were about 3.5 FT tall & were wearing one-piece skin-tight silver garments. The couldn't find any footprints in the muddy field where the figures were seen. 
 

Their report to the Staunton police brought 10 reserve policemen to the scene & Charles Wildon, a photographer. The police search at 2100, a hour after the reported incident, failed to turn up anything & the officers left. Houghton & Wilson

Sid Roderick said his "strange adventure" occurred about 0200, 30 Jan 65, when he was taking a customary night-time walk on Manresa Beach, about 1500 FT from the house where his wife & three sons were sleeping. He heard a "humming" sound & became aware of the ship some distance above him. A voice assured him, both before & after it landed, that the craft was friendly. At the invitation of a person he assumed to be the commander, a Mr. "Ziena," he entered from the ground level through a large, square door.
 

Inside, the ship consisted of at least 2 levels & possibly a third he didn't see. "The crew was dressed pretty much alike, in two-piece suits of bluish-white," he related. "The color was almost that of the light inside the ship, which was indirect & seemed to come from the walls. The crewmen seemed to be normal humans, of average size, wearing short dark hair that seemed never to have bee cut as though that

NOTE: The USAF has discounted this report due to controversial "evidence" (quotes in original) in the form of two pieces of paper on which were markings the Air Force had no difficulty deciphering. It is noted that two other persons, a fisherman & a Hernando housewife, saw a strange object in the sky about the same time the witness reported the encounter.
 

John Raney, noted as a "resident of a trailer park 3.5 miles east of Weeki Wachee Spring & 0.75 miles NW of Highway 50, " and "a retired longshoreman from Brooklyn," saw a UFO with four-legged landing gear and 5 FT tall robot figure with human-like features while on a routine walk in the woods. 
 

Intel officers from MacDill AFB were called to investigate after Raney came into downtown Brooksville and showed residents two pieces of paper he said was left by the spacemen. The report was forwarded to Project Blue

Gendarmes said they were investigating a report by Maurice Masse, a farmer ("lavender grower"--Blum), who saw a mysterious aircraft take off from his field. Dozens of people came to see the tracks left behind by the aircraft. Masson told the police he saw the craft at dawn. With the craft was a small human form, about the size of an 8-year old child, about 3 FT tall, fat, and dressed in what could have been a spacesuit (close-fitting gray-green clothes--Blum), with at least one other being discernible inside. The tracks left by the 6 metal legs on the ground were packed hard as concrete.
 

When shown by Aime Michel a photograph of a model of the craft described by Lonnie Zamora, Masse wondered when Michel had taken a picture of "his engine."

"This is part of a tape recording made by A. F. Salsbury (now deceased), Renton, Washington, dated September 4, 1965.
 

" ' Then a voice came out of the craft which sounded like it came from a loud speaker and said in a distinct, but loudly amplified tone, "Don't be afraid little Earthman, we are not going to hurt you--put down that gun and we will come out to see you." I did exactly what I was told, otherwise I didn't know what might happen or what they might do with me--and, by the way, I must have looked that way to them inside the craft. Probably in a lapse of a couple of minutes an oval-shaped door opened under the lower part of the tube next to this saucer-shaped disc and a man came out and walked slowly toward me. I would estimate he was about 6 FT tall & probable 185 LB in weight--age, 30 or so in years. He was dressed in a one-piece tight-fitting suit made of some metallic coating resembling aluminum

"J.F.T", 19, radio announcer for KEYL saw 3 "things" resembling tin cans with arms the size of match sticks projecting from their sides and with tripod legs, at about 1915 on Highway 27. His engine stopped and lights went out. He saw an object resembling a rocket ship in the center of the road. It was about 30 FT tall & 10 FT dia & was sitting on fins. The creatures were under the ship. They were the size and shape of a beer can with thin arms & fin-like legs. They scooted back under the ship, which took off. The landing site was investigated by Long Prairie Police Officer Laverne Luwitz. "The only thing we found were three strips of an oil-like substance on the road. They were a yard long and four inches apart, all parallel with the road. I don't know what they were, but I've looked at a lot of roads and never saw anything like them before."
 

Also investigated by Dr. Hynek himself over the telephone.

15-year-old Edward Burns was driving his dad's pickup toward home about 2345. When he was about .25 MI from the turn into the neighbor's farm, his headlights picked up a dark, oval-shaped object hovering about 6 FT over the road ahead of him. This was 5 MI west & 2 MI south of Herman. The UFO covered the entire road & looked like a huge light, a mixture of red & white. He came within "a telephone pole" distance of the object before he saw it. The engine & lights on the pickup went out & he wound up in the ditch. He said he saw something shaped like a man but all green moving inside the UFO.
 

SJD comment: Sounds like a tale to explain why he cracked up his dad's truck.

Betty Cline of Jamestown, NY, US told police a craft suddenly appeared & landed about 300 YD from the car she was sitting in with Douglas Tbot of Greenhurst, NY, US. (The car was "stuck in the sand.") Craft was mushroom-shaped with a narrow base rising to an oval structure, w/lights on the back. A police car pulled up & the officer accompanied the kids to about where the craft had landed. The horn sounded on the car & they ran back. There was a "thing" by the car. *About 6 FT tall. Humanoid, drawn by the girl as like a gorilla, apparently featureless.
 

Patrolmen the next day found strange markings in the sand where the craft had landed. The impressions were triangularly shaped, about 8 IN deep at the apex, Then sloping upward to an area that was rounded and smooth. Going from there to within 1 FT of where the car was stuck in the sand, a pattern of conically shaped imprints, staggered as if made by a walking

"The so-called monster seen on the Erie PA Peninsula has been reportedly seen at Edinboro, PA, just a few miles south of Erie. Brett Butler of Edinboro & six other witnesses saw 'a creature' near Edinboro Lake. Butler claimed the figure resembled the drawing made by a Jamestown, NY girl....The 6-FT tall 'person or thing' was seen by the seven on a peninsula jutting into a swampy area at the north end of the lake. The witnesses fired at the creature on two occasions with the weapons they had along."

Six days after UFOs were seen in the area, Faber Miles, a Malvern merchant, reported a "creature" about 8 FT tall changing in color from red to orange to yellow. Sightings were between 20 & 500 FT. Observations were made simultaneously by two reliable persons. Mr. Niles was able to snap a picture of the 'thing' from his window. The local newspaper said they would release the photo as soon as it was cleared by authorities.
 

Mr. Adams notes: "Those 'authorities' apparently never cleared the photo for release, since there is no record of the photo ever appearing in a newspaper."

Between 0220 and 0230, David Morris was driving home from work when he noticed an orange-red glow on the other side of the hill. After he went over the hill, he saw a wedge- or cone-shaped object 25-30 YD away to the left in a wheat field. It appeared to be 25 FT tall & 12 FT wide at the base, with a ball-shape at the apex of the cone. 
 

The car was still in motion during the sighting. When his attention returned to the road, Morris saw 4-5 figures running back and forth across the road. Humanoid, with stocky build, they glowed orange-red like the UFO. He slammed on the brakes, but still hit one. Fearing for his life, he quickly drove away from the scene.
 

Investigation of the site with a friend the next afternoon, revealed skid marks on the road but no footprints nor any indication that anything had been hit by an auto at that spot. The car, kept in mint condition by Morris,

At 2315, Sidney Zipkin, a guard, came across an alien craft in the main parking lot off North Main Street. It was about 50 FT long, round in the center with extended sides that gave it the shape of a fat cigar. Zipkin saw green lights underneath. He stopped his truck about 100 FT away, training the headlights on the craft. To midget-like men, dressed in shiny black uniforms, ran past the truck and boarded the craft, which then ascended vertically.

Sleeping in their car because of danger of earthquakes, the de S's at 2330 saw a luminous whitish object about 25-30 FT diameter shaped like two dishes lip-to-lip. The object was hanging over a palm tree. A door opened in the bottom of the craft, and a smaller, light-bulb shaped object descended, much like a rescue cage from a helicopter, although no cable was visible. When the small object was within a few inches of the ground, it stopped and a door opened in its side, through which stepped a little man in silvery clothes that were luminous like the other objects. The temperature was about 55 degrees, and Mrs. de S saw vapor around the creature's head which she interpreted to be condensation from its breath. The being picked up some stones & examined them, looking up to the larger object as if he was conversing with someone inside. He then dropped the stones, went in to the small craft which ascended into the larger craft, which then left.

On duty at City Hall, Police Officer Antonio Andrade heard a humming sound at approx. 0515 and then the sound of light footsteps coming from the garage. He went to investigate, taking his "hand machine gun" (machine pistol?). He was confronted by a small man about 4 FT tall, with a big head an bulging eyes that gave off a soft reddish light, wearing a silver-colored metallic-looking coverall. A voice from the roof said in Spanish, "Don't do him any harm.. We are on a peaceful mission. He'll do you no harm."
 

He turned and saw a disc-shaped object hovering in mid-air and wobbling from side to side. The little man then said to Officer Andrade that they indeed meant him no harm, that they wanted him to come as a guest to their world, which was very distant & much larger than Earth, with many advantages for earthlings. Officer Andrade declined, saying that he could not leave his post. The little

In the vicinity of Baleia Hospital, Fabio Jose Diniz saw a mushroom shaped object on a playing filed nearby. It appeared to be a huge thing with a cupola on top and a door "like a guillotine" that opened by sliding up. He turned to run, but then heard a voice in perfect Portuguese tell him to stay "or you'll regret it." He turned back & saw two men nearly two meters tall, having greenish skin metallic-looking clothes, with regular features but with hoses in their mouths. They told him not to be afraid, but to come back the same time next day for a journey into space.
 

When reporting the incident to police, Fabio also asked for protection, as he was now afraid to go near the area.

At about 2130, Donald Chiszar, 13, and Pat Crosier, 10, spotted a bright object that approached from the north, then stopped in mid-air. At this point the craft tilted toward them and they could see "two big square windows separated by a bar." At each window they could see an alien. They had appearance similar to human, but with a bumpiness like rocks. The figures were visible only down to the hips. The hips were larger & seemed to jut out more sharply than on a human. No facial features were visible. Behind the creatures were a lot of instruments & knobs.

2 NOV 67
 

Will Begay & Clyde Soccie reported that a UFO landed atop their car and forced them off the road. Two small people, about 4 FT tall, got out of the saucer & tried to talk to them, but the two men couldn't understand a word. Frustrated, the occupants got back in the saucer & took off.
 

The police said that the strangest thing about the report was that the two men were sober.

The witnesses heard a buzzing & saw a bright light in the sky. The light was engulfed by a reddish gray mist with smoke puffing from the top. As the cloud neared the ground, they noticed a metallic sphere inside. Under the sphere were three hemispheres & a central tube. A the object hovered about 10 FT from the ground, a light from the tube shone on the ground, creating a 3 FT diameter circle. Inside the beam of light, standing on the ground, was a 3 FT tall creature holding a small box at waist height. The creature wore light green coveralls, dark green boots, white gloves, and a dunce like cap.
 

The creature pointed the box at Heinonen. As he did so, a thick reddish gray mist came from the object. Huge long red, green, & purple sparks shot from the circle of light. Although the sparks hit both men, they felt nothing. The mist continued to thicken, obscuring the small creature.

Ms. McAfee & her mother were driving on Interstate 10. A bright blue light flashed on them from a short distance away, seemingly from their lane.
 

McAfee saw an object ahead of her & prepared to pull around it. She & her mother saw 2 creatures standing under a craft that neither woman could later describe. The bright light seemed to be above them, hiding the shape of their craft. There were black rods about 4-5 IN wide near the creatures. They were 5.5=6 FT tall & robust. They wore suits like spacesuits or full-environmental suits with helmets, gloves, and boots. Neither seemed interested in the women & both continued working as the car passed them.
 

Randle/Estes reliability rating: 8. However, they suggest that there is a real possibility that they saw an American experimental craft & crew, given the location & description of the

At about 2230, Ventura Maceiras, an illiterate night watchman, was listening to the radio outside the wooden shack that is his home, when suddenly the transistor radio began to fail. Impact adjustment did not work, so he switched off. He noticed a humming "like angry bees." Looking up, he saw a bright light hovering over a nearby grove of eucalyptus trees. He could see an enormous object in the midst of the light, whose color changed from orange to purple. At the center of the object, he could see a round cabin with windows, and through the windows, two figures. They had on helmets & what looked like gray diver's suits, made of inflated tubes joined together to give an accordion effect (the accompanying drawing looks like an old-fashioned SF constant-pressure space suit). Both aliens had slanting eyes & slits for mouths. He could see instruments & dials within the cabin.

Proctor, a college student, on her way home, disappeared for four days. When she surfaced she told a tale of abduction at the hands of several small aliens. Unlike the others abducted during this wave, she was held by the aliens for several days while she was subjected to a battery of tests.
 

Randle/Estes, __Faces of the Visitors__ (FOV), labels this a "probable hoax."

A mother and son saw a gray humanoid near a landed UFO. The being was surrounded by a bell jar-shaped area of light. Ground traces were found.
 

SJD comment: Don't know if "gray" is a simple description or a type in this case.

Debbie Carney saw 2 small beings in silver suits slowly crossing the road in front of her. As she drove past, they shouted as if they were trying to scare her.
 

SJD comment: With no craft reported, sounds like early trick-or-treat to me.

The Donathans saw a pair of beings in bright silver jumping and leaping near the road. Donathan said the beings appeared to be dancing.
 

SJD Comment: No craft reported. More trick-or-treaters.

Having heard about the sightings (see Donathan & Carney entries) Gary Flatter went out in search of the two beings. After watching a line of small animals running across the road, Flatter spotted the 2 creatures. When he turned his spotlight on them, they turned to him, their suits reflecting the light. Flatter said the creatures had egg-shaped heads & wore what appeared to be gas masks. The aliens then leaped away. The next day imprints were found in the field.

The witness saw a green glow through the kitchen curtains. When he pulled them aside he saw a small man using what might have been a metal detector in the garden. His shiny one-piece suit glowed with the green light that had attracted the witnesses attention. On the head was a transparent globular helmet with a tube that ran down to a backpack.
 

The witness shined a flashlight on the being, which turned toward his with his entire body, rather than just the head. The creature raised its hand & gave a V sign, then turned & walked off toward the rear wall of the garden. When it reached the wall, it continued walking straight up the wall, but it remained perpendicular the surface of the wall, and down the other side. Moments later, the witness saw a small craft in the distance.

At about 2015, a woman & her son saw a descending red ball illuminating the area & watched house lights blackout.
 

Shortly afterwards a barber got in his car & drove a few meters, then his engine & lights went out as a bright object descended over the road just ahead of his car.
 

Hovering a half-meter (1.5 FT) over the road was a 3 meter (10 FT) diameter domed disc with three light beams extending to the road. A panel opened and 2 humanoids about 1.2 meters (4 FT) tall & wearing green coveralls and helmets with antennae floated toward the car. They circled the car, apparently more interested in it than in the passengers, then they entered the UFO which took off in a flash of light and explosive sound.
 

Three scorched circles about 50 CM in diameter were found on the road surface, apparently corresponding to

May 1992
 

For several hours I [Filler] talked on the phone with k.t.[sic] Frankovich, who is an especially credible and well-qualified wildlife expert. She is a writer and had made numerous films while traveling around the world to study dangerous animals. In early 1992, she moved into her apartment in South Dade, Florida that had an inscription on the front door, stating "MAY GOD PROTECT US." She was also warned by neighbors that very scary things go on in the Lime Grove behind her home! k.t. had studied and worked with alligators, snakes, and some of the world's most dangerous animals. To her standards a lime grove is tame in comparison with swamps and wild jungles. Despite the warnings, she often took her four attack dogs for a walk in the miles of thick trees. Since two dogs are easier to handle, she took two of her attack dogs for a walk at sunset in May of 1992. The grove was abandoned and only sporadically had she seen a few lime-pickers. At dusk,

Summary: "Alien" body. decomposing, with silvery skin, approx. 36 IN - 48 IN tall, was found by Mason residents under leaves in their yard.
 

The Lansing State Journal along with WILX and WLNS television stations, both in Lansing, initially reported that residents of Mason, MI uncovered a strange humanoid-like body on their property as they raked leaves in the spring months of 1996. The body was slender with long arms and legs, an small head, and...large eyes. The body was reported to be 3.5 - 4 FT in length with silver skin that was deteriorating (presumably over the winter). The news sources reported that the remains had been taken to Michigan State University in East Lansing for examination. Suspiciously, there was never again any mention of this unusual find in the

Grand Mere, Quebec, Canada
 

The central office of the AQU (Association Quebecoise d'Ufologie) recently 

pondered on a rather uncommon case.
 

"The call concerned a sighting report made by a woman residing in Grand-Mere 

of which the description of the events remain one of the most mysterious to 

have been given to us since the creation of the AQU," said chairman Gilles 

Milot.

Three AQU representatives, along with representative Pauline Mongrain, who 

crossed the St. Maurice (river) in order to verify the authenticity of 

certain facts observed by the witness, went over to see this information for 

themselves.

other stood nearby. According to the witness, when they walked, they seemed

From Filler's Files #6:
 

"I know this might sound crazy but it is totally true. My friends and I were camping on his ranch about a mile from his house. We were sitting around the fire and we heard some noises in the bushes. So we went over to check it out. We came upon some weird footprints in the mud. There was a circle with 4 lines leading away from it (guess they would be toes). So we followed them. The curiosity got the best of us. We went through the woods and into a meadow when we saw something that looked like a walking tree except for the head. The creature was walking through the meadow at a more than casual pace. When we went to use a flashlight to look at
