WINGED HUMANOID Encountered at the Mt. Fujiyama Komitake Shrine

A winged humanoid is allegedly encountered at the Mt. Fujiyama Komitake shrine in Japan. His finance believed that this was an evil omen concerning Mt. Fuji and possible disaster.

"Sir - I am writing on behalf of a business friend who I visited in September 2015. He lives in Tokyo, Japan. While I was there he told me of an incident that occurred while he and his fiance traveled to the Mt. Fujiyama Komitake shrine.

They had been at the shrine and other local sites throughout the day. While they were leaving the parking lot they both noticed a strange-looking man crouched down by a tree near the edge of the forest. My friend slowed down his car as they continued to watch this man. The forest was dark, but they could see a halo of red light over his head. About that time he turned and stood up. Instantly a pair of huge dark butterfly-like wings sprung open from his back and he shot up into the canopy. As it ascended, they noticed the wings reflected light.

They then noticed that two older women had been watching this man as well, who screamed and ran away towards a nearby building. Other people then reacted to the screams and were looking towards the forest. My friend did not stay and drove off. They were both frightened and his fiance cried most of the way home.

I was shocked by their encounter and started to look on the internet after I returned home to NSW, Australia. I then read about the Mothman incidents and other strange-winged humanoids. I talked to my friend and he said that someone had told him the same thing and that it had been seen in Japan. Could you offer an explanation? Thanks." - Jan

I sent an email to Jan asking for more details, if possible. He wrote back and mentioned that his friend was worried about mentioning this to others. His finance seems to believe that this was an evil omen concerning Mt. Fuji and possible disaster. I remembered a witness or two who stated that a Mothman-like being was seen before the 2011 Japan earthquake/tsunami. Here is an article I had posted at the time. It was forwarded by a colleague:

Witness Claims Mothman Sighting in Japan Prior to Earthquake

"I’m not sure if this is the appropriate time to come forward with this story seeing that the recent events in Japan are still fresh in everyone's memory. I have been a follower of your website. Naturally, your site was the one I thought of first when this incident happened and I decided to write in and tell you what happened that night in early February.

I was in Japan on business and had emailed a lifelong friend who was living in Japan and teaching English at a local school. He had insisted on my staying with him for the duration of my stay, saying it would help save me money and make my expense report look better when I turned it in. My friend (I will call him Tim for the sake of his reputation and career) was a lifelong bachelor and had a fairly large apartment all to himself and his cat. After several days of day-long meetings and group seminars, we decided to go out to get a bite to eat and take in the town. After a fairly large meal and hopping from one night spot to another, we decided to go toward the ocean and check out the moonlight reflecting off the waves. My friend stated that he wanted to check on a biology station that some of his graduate students had set up near a large power plant.

As we approached the plant from the west, we walked along some paths and came to a simple metal box bolted into the ground, from this box there were a myriad of weather vanes and other meteorological devices. My friend stated the school's science class students had a theory that just like the water being used and discharged by the power plant was warmed by the production of electricity; the air around the plant was also being warmed and thus affecting weather and tidal patterns in the surrounding ecosystem. It all sounded too complex and in my slightly tipsy and tired state was only able to grasp the bare bones of the complex theory he laid out.

He finished up and changed the subject to something more jovial when all of a sudden we heard a loud and distinct “WHOOSH.” At first, my mind thought it might be the sound of the distant waves crashing ashore when we heard it again, followed by an ear-pitching screech that shook me down to the bone and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. We looked around for the cause of the noise when we heard the sound again. The best way I can describe it is a city bus brake when they are in need of service, Loud and ear-splitting. We both continued to look around when my friend’s attention was drawn toward the plant by another nearby couple. A younger couple, out for a walk were staring toward the plant, arms outstretched and the obvious fear in their voice showing itself.

I looked toward the plant, and against the lights of the plant, I thought I saw a figure silhouetted against the moonlit sky. The figure was large and black, from the distance I was at it looked to be sitting on top of one of the squared shape buildings. It sat there for about 5 seconds then it unfurled a large set of what I could only describe as large, black wings. The only reference I can compare them to is from the old John Travolta movie “Michael” where the main character unfurls his wings and spreads them out to their full length. To say that this creature was large was an understatement.

The creature then took flight and circled the plant at least 4-5 times, some circuits he took at a fast pace, some he seemed to slow down, all the while he kept his attention on the row of square-shaped buildings that I later found out housed the reactors. The creature then came toward us, flying at least 25-30 feet off the ground. The younger couple who had noticed the creature first were now screaming and cowering, the man shielding the woman while shielding his head with a jacket. My friend and I looked in awe as this creature flew over us. That’s when I noticed the two large red eyes; they seemed to glow from within and with a blood-red hue. They were unblinking in the 3-4 seconds we saw them, we knew they were looking straight at us, we knew this creature knew we could see it and it made no attempt to disguise itself. The sick, intense, and overwhelming feeling of dread came over us. A feeling that we shouldn’t be there was, to say the least, overwhelming.

As quickly as it came, it flew away, back toward the town, eventually melting into the black night sky and as it flew away from us a loud whoosh was heard again and then...silence. This lasted a second or two before I heard the sound of a shutter and turned to see my friend trying to take pictures with his cell phone, but all he got was a dark nighttime sky. We went straight home and my friend bolted the door and drew all the blinds, he was shaking and saying that he could not believe what he saw, could it have been a large, unknown species of bird? He kept mumbling to himself until I was able to calm him down and get him to relax and talk about what we had seen. Eventually, we both agreed that it must have been some sort of large bird, or maybe an optical illusion caused by the lights given off by the plant on a regular, known species of bird.

We talked about it late into the night, till we both fell asleep on the couches and awoke the next morning to stiff necks and backs. My friend and I spent the last two days out and about and enjoying each other’s company, till he drove me to the airport and we bid each other farewell and I came home.

We spoke about it only once more in an email about a week before he was due to come to the U.S. for his sister’s wedding. When I brought it up at the wedding rehearsal dinner, he was convinced that it had been an optical illusion. That was until the day before the wedding when he woke me out of a deep sleep with a frantic phone call telling me to turn on the TV. There came the images of the devastation of the Japanese earthquake and the near-total destruction of the city of the town of Okuma, where my friend was living and working. On the day of the wedding, the news came of the explosions at the local nuclear power plant and as CNN broadcast the report, we were both a gasp at the same power plant where we had seen the strange bird-like object not being shown on the television set. The Fukushima Daiichi was the exact same plant we had seen the strange bird-like creature circling. Was it pure coincidence or was it the mythical Moth-Man doing his strange work of predicting disasters? I may never know and may go to the grave wondering that, but one thing is certain for sure, I don’t think that either of us is going to forget this event, no matter how long we live.

Thank you for reading my story. I give you permission to share this story with your readers." MP

Legendary PONTIANAK Video Recorded by Malaysian Police Officer

A Malaysian police officer claims to have recorded a legendary Pontianak, the ghost of a pregnant woman who died during childbirth, while on duty and patrolling Johor Baru.

"My intention is just to share my experience and warn people out there not to be too afraid or impatient," said the aid police officer, known by Ikhmal.

Ikhmal, 29, attracted attention on TikTok recently after sharing a video of the Pontianak's involvement and the terrifying sounds of the creature.

The video sharing earned more than 3.6 million views with some netizens believing it but others doubting it. Sharing the true story, Ikhmal said, the video of the Pontianak incident is valid and he recorded himself using a phone.

According to Ikhmal, he "accidentally" collided with the creature when he was making rounds with his colleagues.

"The incident occurred around 2 in the morning and coincidentally, my friend and I were making patrols around the area concerned.

"When we made the patrol, we heard a sound and it looked like someone had entered the bush area.

"Considering that this is a prohibited area that should not be violated, we who boarded the patrol's multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) continued to rush to the area to make patrols and inspections.

"How surprised we would be if we saw a Pontianak in the area, but I managed to get a phone call and record a video of the sighting," he said when contacted by Harian Metro.

Ikhmal said the video was later uploaded on TikTok to be kept as a memory besides sharing the experience he went through while on duty.

In a short period of time, the video received attention and gained a lot of views and spread on social media.

"There are those who believe and share their spooky experiences in the comments section. However, there are also those who say I tried to cheat and upload the related video for content purposes (simply shared content).

"It's up to the viewers to believe it or vice versa because it's each person's right and why cheat because I myself went through it," he said.

According to Ikhmal, he has been looking for sustenance as an aid policy for eight years and he has had many experiences during that period, including some that were scary.

However, Ikhmal admits that it was the first time he saw Pontianak in front of his own eyes the other day.

"The sound of disturbance is common, especially when on duty at night and early in the morning. In fact, old people have also told their experiences of encountering this creature.

"After all, the area was originally an oil palm field which was later built but they (old people) only saw it but didn't record it.

"It's also my luck if you are moved to record what you see at that time and luckily you are surprised, you don't get a fever after seeing it.

"I want to say believe (in the unseen world), yes, because in the Koran it is also mentioned, it's just that I want to work to make money, so I don't want to be too afraid to see we are all God's creatures and share life in this world," he said.

Ikhmal hoped that his partnership would be taken from a positive angle because it was not his intention to frighten anyone.

"Hopefully what is shared doesn't discourage anyone, especially younger siblings who are interested in getting involved in this field (safety).

"Let's just say that it's commonplace and one of the challenges in our duties because over time we will get used to it," he said. - I recorded the Pontianak myself

UNKNOWN ENTITIES PHOTO Captured After UFO Sighting in North Alabama

Two Alabama women are sitting on their deck when they observed a rectangular-shaped craft hovering above the property. They took photos of the event and captured a pair of unknown entities.

I received the following account and photograph:

"I lived in Boaz, Alabama at the time of this incident. It was July 5, 2014, at 10:25 PM (I checked my watch). My friend and I were sitting on her deck drinking coffee. She said, "Look!" I looked up in time to see a rectangular-shaped object with lights circling around it, changing colors. We kept saying, "What is that?" It briefly went totally dark and then reappeared moving toward her property. Her house is situated at an elevation of 1,053 feet above sea level according to my phone. There is a VERY STEEP drop-off at the edge of her lawn which is heavily wooded all the way down the mountain. These objects were high above the trees which are very tall.

As the large object moved closer and closer to us a small semi-circular shaped object was seen below the larger object. I grabbed my cell phone and began taking photos of what we were seeing. It came close enough to her lawn to reflect light onto the grass. Then the semi-circular shaped object straightened itself out and flew at a speed I've never seen anything move with out of our sight behind trees. The large object began getting very bright with almost fiery-looking lights shooting out of the ring where the multi-colored lights were first observed.

We watched it for what seemed like a short period of time but we later realized we had been out there watching for about an hour and a half. I have no direct memory of the object leaving or blinking out but it was just gone. I began to take photos all around in hopes of finding where it went. That's when I got the very poor photo of what seemed to be two little creatures.

Also, strangely enough, another glowing light appeared deep down in the woods. It would brighten when we talked to it, then dim and brighten again on request. My camera never recorded a photo of this object although I snapped them repeatedly. My friend said once during watching the object she was going to get a flashlight and go out there and look more closely. I strongly encouraged her not to do that. I felt that we were fine on the deck where we were but didn't need to be out there any closer.

We were unnaturally calm afterward and even talked about how we just sauntered back inside the house and went to bed - too calm if you ask me. It was a very odd experience." LM

BLACK-EYED GIRL & Other Disturbing Activity Reported in San Francisco Home

A family in San Francisco, CA has been dealing with disturbing and frightening activity. One of the children observed a little girl with black eyes. A priest has blessed the home, to no avail.

I received the following account:

"Sir. I'm 18 years old and recently graduated from high school. There have been some unexplained things going on in my home ever since we moved in last year.

My younger brother was in his room carrying out a conversation which was weird because we were alone at home. I went to see who he was talking to. There was no one there, so I asked him who he was talking to. He said the little girl with the black eyes. I asked where she was and he said that she had left. I thought he just lying.

About a week later we started hearing voices and footsteps. I would be sleeping with my blankets covering me and I would wake up with them folded at the bottom of my bed. My sister got scared one night and crawled into bed with me. As she was getting into my bed I woke up, so I turned on my TV. I also turned on my light to find the remote. I left the light on along with the TV.

Right when we were both drifting off to sleep, my door slammed shut, which is almost impossible as I always have a basket full of books in front of the door so that it doesn’t close. The light then shut off, and my TV picture went off with static noise.

I got up and went to the door. I tried to open it but it was like someone was holding the door handle from the outside.

My sister and I started to scream when my mom came and opened the door. As she did the light turned back on and the TV picture came back.

We had a priest bless the house, but the activity continues. The house was built in 2003 and no one has died there. Can you tell us what we need to do?" HN

NOTE: This activity is occurring in a San Francisco, CA house. I talked to the mother and I referred her to a few local people that may be able to help. I'm not sure that I need to get involved at this point. Lon

UPRIGHT CRYPTID CANINE Encountered at Piney Fork Tunnel in Pennsylvania

A Pittsburgh photographer describes an incident while she was shooting photographs at the Piney Fork tunnel just south of the city. She claims that she observed an upright cryptid canine.

"This encounter occurred just south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in October 2018. I'm a professional photographer and work throughout the region. I have been fortunate to have a successful business, great clients, and beautiful landscapes to work with.

I went out one spring day for a wedding engagement shoot. The couple had specifically chosen the abandoned Piney Fork tunnel for the location. I was familiar with it so I agreed. We shot at a few other sites first and then I met them out there late in the afternoon for the best lighting. I picked a good spot and started working. Everything was running smoothly at first until we started hearing the sounds coming from somewhere inside the tunnel. It was long enough that it was dark in the middle so we couldn't see anything past a few hundred feet. It sounded like someone was moving around in there. We tried to ignore it and I just kept taking pictures but the noises got louder like it was coming closer to us.

The couple was now more uncomfortable and they looked tense in the pictures, so I suggested wrapping it up, but they wanted to finish. I got in another few shots before we heard the growling. We stared into the tunnel petrified. The sounds had been unsettling though not actually concerning. But the deep growling meant something very different. It sounded large and threatening. After a quick discussion, we decided to leave and go to a backup location.

I started packing my lenses as the couple walked to their car. The growling continued and sounded as if it was getting closer. There was also a scraping sound. I panicked, grabbed my stuff, and ran for the car. I got in and immediately locked the doors. The couple was already pulling out but I had parked facing the other way and needed to turn around. As I did there was a brief second where my running lights shined into the tunnel entrance. In that second I saw the source of the sound. It was huge! It definitely was not a stray dog and many times larger than a German Shepherd and it was standing on its hind legs, although it was bent forward. The beast was nearly seven feet tall. The head was covered in thick fur and it had dog-like ears sticking up on the top of its head. I couldn't see the features clearly because it was too far away but I saw the eyes reflecting in the light. The eyes had a deep orangish-red color. I had absolutely no idea what I was seeing, but it walked on two legs. Then I blinked and it was gone.

I followed the couple to the next location. When we got out I asked them if they had seen the thing in the tunnel but they said they hadn't. I wasn't sure if I should tell them what I saw because it sounded too crazy, even though they had heard the growling. I decided to keep the details to myself.

We finished their session as fast as we could. A few days later I was sorting through their photos and I got to the tunnel photos. As I had predicted most were not usable because the couple was too tense and uncomfortable in their poses. I looked through them carefully trying to find the best ones to include, not wanting the location to be a total loss. In the last few images, I saw something weird. It looked like a glare or a light flare over the guy's shoulder. I zoomed in and played with the lighting until I saw it more clearly. It was not a lens flare. It was two orange eyes in the darkness of the tunnel. They appeared in each of the last few photos and it was proof of what I had seen. The creature in the tunnel was real.

I knew that I couldn't include those in the portfolio, not knowing what was leering behind them." K

NOTE: I looked at the photos. There are possible orange eyes in the two photos that I saw, though I'm not positive. The witness did not give me permission to publish the photos but felt compelled to make the report after finding my Pennsylvania Dogman / Upright Canine Reports Map online. If I am given permission to publish in the future, I will post here. Lon

Peruvian Villagers Claim Attack by 7-FOOT-TALL 'GREEN GOBLIN' ALIENS

A bizarre story has come from Peru where an indigenous people has indicated that they encountered & were attacked by unknown 'silver beings with enormous heads.'

"Members of the Ikitu indigenous people, from the Alto Nanay district, indicated that they are silver beings with enormous heads, immune to their hunting weapons, and that they have already attacked a teenager. They demand military presence in the area.

The residents of the Ikitu indigenous people, in the district of Alto Nanay, province of Maynas, Loreto, live in terror after reporting the presence of "strange beings" that attack them at night.

As they indicated to RPP News, since last July 11, these beings appeared that would measure two meters, that would be immune to their hunting weapons, and "disappear" when cornered.

"These gentlemen are aliens. They seem armored like the green goblin from Spider-Man. I have shot him twice and he does not fall but rises and disappears. We are frightened by what is happening in the community," said Jairo Reátegui Ávila, leader of the people.

Reátegui reported that a teenager was attacked with cuts to her neck by these beings. She was treated for her injuries from her in the same community.

“Her color is silver, her shoes are round in shape and with that, they rise up. They float one meter high and have a red light on the heel. His head is long, his mask is long, and his eyes are half-yellowish. With that, they see you well and they leave. They are experts at escaping," described the community leader.

Due to this situation, the population demands a military presence to protect them, and that the local and regional authorities take measures because they cannot carry out their daily activities in the town, located 10 hours from Iquitos by river trip.

Meanwhile, they have organized night patrols to try to hunt down those who torment the tranquility of the population.

RPP Noticias consulted other local versions of what these beings that the community described could be. Some described this presence as the so-called " peelacaras ", as alleged organ traffickers are known in the jungle, linked to legends of the mountain.

Another version that the population handles is that it could be drones that roam the area and generate uncertainty in the population. These could be linked to drug trafficking or to gangs of land traffickers.

Finally, this medium contacted the Loreto Regional Health Directorate (DIRESA) to find out if there are any reports of medical care for any person attacked by these beings, but they indicated that it does not appear in their records. (With information from Diego Cáceres, RPP correspondent in Iquitos)." - "They are aliens!": Loretan residents denounce the presence of strange beings that attack them at night

Here is another media account:

"Terrified villagers in a rural district of Alto Nanay, northeast of Lima, Peru, claim they are under attack by 7ft tall armored aliens that bear a striking resemblance to the Green Goblin from Spider-Man. According to the locals, these extraterrestrial beings have large heads and yellowish eyes, and they have been launching nightly attacks on the community since 11 July.

One alarming incident involved a 15-year-old girl who was reportedly grabbed from behind and had her neck cut when she resisted. The community members are living in fear, unable to sleep peacefully due to the constant threat.

The allegations have been made by members of the Ikitu indigenous people, who have described the aliens as being immune to their hunting weapons. The villagers are now urging the Peruvian military to intervene and protect them from these interstellar intruders. They claim that the aliens wear protective armour and have unique floating abilities, using round-shaped shoes with a red light on the heel.

Community leader Jairo Reátegui Ávila stated, “These gentlemen are aliens. They appear to be armoured like the Green Goblin from Spider-Man. I shot one of them twice and he wasn’t injured; he rose and disappeared. We’re very frightened about what’s happening here in our community.”

The villagers have taken matters into their own hands by conducting night patrols to hunt down the alien attackers. They have requested military presence from the authorities, but reaching the remote community from Iquitos City requires a challenging 10-hour river trip.

Some villagers have likened the aliens to “pelacaras,” strange beings believed to feast on human fat and organs.

Authorities have visited the area and toured the village perimeter, including the location of the alleged attack on the teenager. However, it is unclear if any evidence was found to support the villagers’ claims or if the government plans to deploy military personnel to the area for an extended period.

The Ikitu community, according to a 2017 national census, comprises approximately 1,350 people. The situation remains tense as the villagers seek protection and answers amid the unexplained attacks by these mysterious and seemingly impervious aliens." - Peruvian Villagers Report Attacks by 7ft Armoured Aliens Resembling Green Goblin from Spider-Man

Were Witnesses Reporting MOTHMAN Sightings in the 19th Century?

The following newspaper-published accounts from the 19th century seem to suggest that the winged humanoid or Mothman phenomena were active at the time.
In September 1877, the following 'Letter to the Editor' of the New York Sun was published:

To The Editor of The Sun--Sir:

"On Tuesday afternoon of this week, a few minutes after 6 o’clock, I noticed from my window a very peculiar, solitary, vapory object in the heavens. Its position was about where the constellation of the Dipper would be at that hour, viz., due north, and thirty-five degrees above the horizon. In magnitude and contour it in a marked degree resembled a human form, head, body, and nether limbs, the body and limbs robed in shadowy drapery. The head, which was of brighter luminosity on the crown and forehead, had thick flowing hair, and the whole figure was extended horizontally, with the head eastward and the front downward. But there was another feature quite as marked, and that was an appearance as of wings projecting upward and backward from the shoulders, and these in due proportional extent to the body and limbs. This last named feature gave the entirety the appearance of an angel.

Flying in mid-heaven, considered as a cloud, it was remarkable that it kept the same outline continuously, which is uncommon in those vapory objects, while I had it in view for a considerable time, as it progressed swiftly toward the east. The luminosity of the shadowy angel was of a golden white, and it presented a very beautiful appearance against the blue background of the sky. In addition to the startling outline of the object, the interest in it was greatly increased by its being at the time the only one visible in the whole northern heavens, except some low-lying black clouds on the horizon. I called the attention of several persons to it, one of whom discovered himself the resemblance I did.

Query--Was this a presage of a coming event? It reminded me of the words recorded in Mark XIII., 27: “Then shall he send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds;” and those in Daniel IX., 21: “Gabriel being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.”
Wm. H. Smith.
Brooklyn, Sept. 19.

Well, just a few years later, another flying being was seen over Coney Island. It was described as 'a man with bat’s wings and improved frog’s legs.' There are also references to similar sightings in St. Louis and Kentucky. Could these be early Mothman sightings?:

New York Times - 12 September 1880

AN AERIAL MYSTERY

"One day last week a marvelous apparition was seen near Coney Island. At the height of at least a thousand feet in the air a strange object was in the act of flying toward the New Jersey coast. It was apparently a man with bat’s wings and improved frog’s legs. The face of the man could be distinctly seen, and it wore a cruel and determined expression. The movements made by the object closely resembled those of a frog in the act of swimming with his hind legs and flying with his front legs. Of course, no respectable frog has ever been known to conduct himself in precisely that way; but were a frog to wear bat’s wings, and to attempt to swim and fly at the same time, he would correctly imitate the conduct of the Coney Island monster. When we add that this monster waved his wings in answer to the whistle of a locomotive, and was of a deep black color, the alarming nature of the apparition can be imagined. The object was seen by many reputable persons, and they all agree that it was a man engaged in flying toward New-Jersey.

About a month ago an object of precisely the same nature was seen in the air over St. Louis by a number of citizens who happened to be sober and are believed to be trustworthy. A little later it was seen by various Kentucky persons as it flew across the State. In no instance has it been known to alight, and no one has seen it at a lower elevation than a thousand feet above the surface of the earth. It is without a doubt the most extraordinary and wonderful object that has ever been seen, and there should be no time lost in ascertaining its precise nature, habits, and probable mission.

That this aerial apparition is a man fitted with practicable wings there is no reason to doubt. Some one has solved the problem of aerial navigation by inventing wings with which a man can sustain himself in the air and direct his flight to any desired point. Who is this adventurous flyer and what is his object? are questions of immediate and enormous importance. Of course, the first impulse of the unreflecting mind will be to exclaim that the mysterious flyer is an aeronaut who has invented practicable wings, and is secretly experimenting with then before making his invention public. This is directly at variance with the known habits and customs of aeronauts.

Had any aeronaut invented a pair of wings he would have advertised, long before his invention was perfected, that he was in possession of a machine wherewith to make an aerial voyage to Europe in twenty-four hours, and that he was prepared to exhibit it for a few weeks to every one who would pay 50 cents to see it. A little later he would have taken up a subscription to pay the expenses of his proposed voyage in the interests of science, and would probably have published a book on the science of aeronautics. Then he would have suddenly disappeared, taking his wings with him, or accidentally burning them, and after the first outburst of indignation on the part of a swindled public would have been totally forgotten. This has been the invariable practice of these ingenious aeronauts who have claimed to be the inventors of balloons or other apparatus capable of navigating the air. That the mysterious flying man has not followed this custom makes it perfectly clear that he is not a professional aeronaut. Beyond any question, either the flying man or some Scientific Person at present unknown has invented the bat’s wings and frog’s legs with which the flying man now sails through the air. Why has not the inventor patented his invention and had himself duly written up by the press? The reason is obvious. The flying man is engaged in some under taking which he cannot safely proclaim. In other words, he is an aerial criminal, a fact which explains the cruelty and determination visible on his countenance, and what can be the nefarious object which this probable wretch has in view? It cannot be simply theft and robbery, for it would manifestly beÂ impossible for him, in his flying costume, to perpetrate burglary or highway robbery, or to pick pockets. It cannot be plumbing, for obvious reasons, neither can it be the sale of books published by subscription only. Yet the flying villain must have an object, and we have a right to assume that only a peculiarly nefarious object could induce a man to fly to New-Jersey or St. Louis in hot weather and without an umbrella or mosquito net. It has not escaped notice that of late Mr. Talmage has been wandering in the West in search of entertaining varieties of crime wherewith to embellish his sermons. It is also known that he returned to this City just before the flying man of Coney Island was seen. Now, if there is a man in this country whose arms and legs are fitted to endure the muscular strain inseparable from the act of flying, that man is Mr. Talmage. He has preached for years with those graceful limbs, and must have developed and hardened their muscles to an extent which would fill every other professional acrobat with envy. What is more probable than that Mr. Talmage has equipped himself with wings in order to study interesting types of immorality from the lofty height of a thousand feet! He has flown over St. Louis and Kentucky — precisely the places which might be expected to yield a rich reward to an investigator of crime; and he is now flying to and fro over Coney Island, preparatory to preaching a scathing sermon on the wickedness and indecencies of our bathing resorts. Here we have a natural and probable explanation of the flying man, and it is earnestly to be hoped that no one, with mistaken zeal for field sports, will attempt to shoot the preacher on the wing with a shot-gun. There is not a shot-gun in existence which will do any good at a distance of a thousand feet."

Evidence Discovered After Experiencers' ALIEN ENCOUNTER 'DREAMS'

A couple is staying in a remote cabin in rural Illinois. They both experience a dream that features alien beings and a craft. The next night, and the following morning, evidence is discovered.

I received the following account:

"Hi. My encounter occurred in Golconda, Illinois on 6/15/1991 at approximately 2:30 AM. That night I thought I "dreamed" about several aliens coming into a cabin I was staying in with my girlfriend. Early the following morning I awoke, and described to my girlfriend my strange 'dream.' She went on to tell me that she had the same dream and that she had been taken to a spacecraft out in the field that was near the cabin.

In my 'dream,' I was awoken by 3-5 alien 'Greys." Their featureless faces were only illuminated by the reflections from their black eyes. I remember sitting up in bed, holding the covers up to my face so that only my eyes were exposed. They came towards me, and one seemed to be holding some strange, jewel-encrusted 'wand.' It was gold and had red and green crystals that may have been used to control the device. I think it was this device that was used by the aliens to disrupt my memory of the events.

The next evening my girlfriend woke me up very late at night, terrified. She said they were back, and she did not want to do with them. Immediately I became aware of a very low-frequency humming that was coming from somewhere outside.

Here is where it gets strange since it was a waking memory, and I remember it as a waking memory. My actions at that point on seem bizarre and irrational to me.

I went out onto the porch to see if there was anything.

There was a very bright light shining through the trees that separated the space around the cabin from a large overgrown field.

It was at this point I think the aliens, again, used their minds, or my own brain was just going into shock over seeing such a bright light shining from this isolated field. We were miles and miles from anything! The cabin we were in had no electricity, and no water, and the closest neighbor was several miles down a dirt road.

It was like my rational mind kicked in to convince me that what I was seeing was not real. I thought it could be some kids on ATVs, or we were hearing the sound of a faraway generator, or that someone was simply playing a joke on us.

From that point on I can't remember much. I don't remember going back to the cabin.

The next day I woke up early in the morning and went out to the field to see if there was anything. Out where the bright light seemed to be emitted from there were eight concentric circles pressed into the grass and mud. These were not like crop circles but appeared as if something had pressed into the ground. The outer circle was approximately 40 feet in diameter." MK

USAF Law Enforcement Specialist Encounters UNKNOWN EVIL ENTITY at Barksdale AFB

A US Air Force law enforcement specialist was assigned to inspect a weapon storage area at Barksdale AFB. While performing his duty, he encounters an unknown evil and hateful entity.

I received the following account:

"Dear, Sir. I enjoy reading your blog and I feel comfortable relaying my encounter to you.

As a US Air Force law enforcement specialist I had earned leadership and respect by doing what I'm told to do, no matter how difficult the task. At the time I was stationed at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. A drugged-up civilian man attempted to beat me to death. He was charged and pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of a federal officer. I had been shot at several times by gang members who thought that they could send their buddies on base to sell dope and mess with the enlisted men. I had been recruited into nuclear weapon security and Presidential security. These are just a few of my duties while I served.

In January 2002, early in the morning around 2 AM, I entered a conventional weapons storage area on Barksdale AFB. The CAS area was located away from the main area of the base carved out of heavy forest. Inside the CAS area are bunkers. The bunkers have large locks on the doors that are easy to see using a spotlight from a vehicle. I enjoyed doing the CAS checks because it was often peaceful.

But on this particular night, I had a gut feeling something was wrong. I called dispatch and informed them that I was doing a CAS area check. Dispatch understood I would be in the area for approximately 20 minutes. The check ended up taking much longer because the weather went from misting to heavy fog and mist limiting my visibility to about 50 yards. With the spotlight, I crept through the CAS area to check bunkers. I became more and more scared, a fear that was new to me. I had never experienced this before. I felt almost a desperate need to leave the area, however, I wasn't finished with my area inspection.

So I stopped my vehicle, got out, chambered a round in my M4 rifle, and ensured I had an M9 sidearm ready. After re-entering the vehicle I continued my inspection. As I cleared the older bunkers I entered a new bunker area. The fear I felt was thick in the air and I had a fight against that gut feeling that I needed to leave the area quickly. As I approached the newer bunkers I slowed down and had to pull up very close to them because of the heavy fog and mist. I turned on my spotlight and was shocked to see a row of bunker doors open haphazardly and the padlocks cut off and laying on the ground.

I immediately called dispatch and informed them that I needed backup and I had found an unsecured area. Dispatch acknowledged and informed me they did not have a unit to back me up and I should clear the area alone. Everything I was informed to do was so far out of the normal procedures that I knew dispatch was dealing with a much bigger issue. I put the vehicle in park and grabbed my M4 rifle and slipped the safety off. I took out the flashlight and looked into the bunkers that had been cut open to find all of them completely empty. I called dispatch and informed them that I was going to return to the main base and they acknowledged.

I got back into my vehicle. The inspection was complete and I drove up to the lock gate to exit the area. As I exited the vehicle I again had this absolute terror wash over me, to the point that I looked around into the darkness. I even called out asking if there was someone there. Nothing but complete silence.

To make a long story short, the gate was stuck. I was unable to open it. The evil feeling became incredibly strong now. I could feel a presence standing behind me. It was full of hate. I became increasingly aware of this invisible entity or creature. I stopped and turned towards the area. I could feel this 'thing' was near me and I asked it politely to allow me to leave. I turned back and the gate was free to open. I drove my vehicle through locked the gate from inside and walked about 20 feet to a pedestrian gate and attempted to unlock it to leave the area. I couldn't unlock it. I felt this entity almost pressing against me emitting an overwhelming fear within me. I once again turned towards this entity and asked if I could please leave. I turned back to the gate and it was easily unlocked. I exited the gate and turned around locking it shut.

I had this distinct feeling that this entity was not able to leave the CAS area and I was safe from it. But it felt as if it was projecting hate and intense fear at me. I cleared the round out of my M4 and put the weapon back into the truck. I returned to my normal duties but soon realized that several hours had passed while conducting my 20-minute inspection. It was now around 7 AM.

I returned to the main base, turned in my weapons, and went to the Flight Chief's office to explain why I was late returning. I knocked on the door and pushed the door open to see the dayshift Flight Chief sitting behind the desk. When he recognized me he stood up and said in a very aggressive manner, "Did you see it?" I was thinking that the NCO was talking about the open bunkers. I said, "Yes sir." He came closer in an aggressive manner and again asked if I'd seen the creature. I was taken aback and said, "No, but I felt it." He looked me in the eye and told me never to go into the CAS area alone and if I was ordered to, which was common, to discreetly inform dispatch I can't enter that area alone because I was given a lawful order not to. Strangely, I was never assigned to the CAS area again.

After many years, I still have no idea what I encountered that night." J
