7 Ft. Tall 'Alien Mantis' Encountered in Warwickshire, UK Forest
A British man says he fled from a seven-foot tall telepathic alien mantis. He told of how he fled while cycling home through a woodland in Warwickshire.
This account was originally reported in the Daily Star:
"It sounds crazy but I felt I could sense its feelings towards me and it was just like pure alien hatred. You know when you're watching a documentary and you see a spider eating a fly and just a malevolent sense of evil?"
He said he was forced to quit his job after skeptical colleagues dubbed him the "Mantis Man of Warwick".
He had been left traumatized and now struggles to sleep after cycling through Oakwood and Blacklow Spinney, shortly after finishing a 12-hour work shift on July 16, 2020.
"On a Thursday morning at 5am I was cycling home from work and I saw something odd in the sky. It was a glowing orange sphere just hovering on the horizon. At first I thought it must be Venus or a satellite but it seemed to be much closer than either of these things.
I stopped on my way to take some photos – the object looked a fair bit bigger in person than visible in the photos.
This is when the object started to move around and rotate in shape. I could see it was circular with a part sticking out from the main body.
When this started I got the chills down my back and felt like there was something wrong here, I hurried on my way home. As I kept cycling I could swear the object was moving along my course but I just told myself it must be some kind of optical illusion.
I entered a wooded area and lost sight of the object through the trees. Usually at this time of morning there is a chorus of bird song and insects but the woods were dead silent.
As I cycled down the path I came around a bend I saw something I will never forget. Standing a few meters ahead is what I can only describe as a humanoid praying mantis.
This thing was at-least 7 foot tall, light green with triangular head and big oval black eyes. It had all the features of a mantis but stood on two legs and had a somehow human like shape about it.
I was completely frozen with fear. For what felt like an age, but was probably only seconds. I stared into this creature's eyes and it stared back."

Bright Red-Eyed Bigfoot Encounters Teen in Northern Indiana
A young Indiana teen describes his encounter with an extremely tall black haired Bigfoot that had very bright red eyes. His aunt later mentioned that she had seen the same bright red eyes.
The following account was recently offered on social media:
"I grew up out in the countryside of northern Indiana. This encounter happened when I was in 7th grade. We had a trash pile where we burned our garbage and my mom had me take a bag out at like 10 PM. I grew up in the woods around our house and was not afraid of the dark so I didn't have any reason to be hallucinating or 'seeing shapes in the dark' as kids do. I had never been afraid of the dark until this point in time.
I took the bag out and walked the short distance down the road to our trash pile. I was about to throw our garbage on top before I saw something standing about a cars length from the pile. Whatever this thing was, it towered over me and I was tall for someone around my age being 13. This thing loomed over me. It had to have been over 10 feet tall. We just stared at each other for a long minute and that is when I noticed that it had dark midnight fur and bright red, almost glowing in the dark, eyes.
I was frozen. Then it just turned and stomped back into the woods. It was very fast and to me the weight of this thing was making the floor of the woods vibrate. I screamed and dropped the bag in the road and ran as fast as I could back to the house.
My mother saw that I was acting like I was in shock. I could hardly breathe. My mom was tuned out most of the time, being too depressed to even notice her children. My state of mind obviously disturbed her enough that she came to check on me. I told her what happened and she let me stay home from school the rest of the week.
Fast forward about 5 years later. I started living with my aunt because my situation with my depressed mother got so bad that I had to move.
One night my aunt had some friends of the family over and I heard a conversation that piqued my interest. My aunt was telling our family friend about seeing a pair of red glowing eyes staring in at her from a ten foot high window in her trailer. One of those weird small ones that are toward the top in the bathroom. The same height that I saw that tall man-beast thing. I told her what happened to me and her jaw dropped.
This was probably the most satisfying thing that happened to me. Hearing it from another person made my experience feel authentic and made me think that I wasn't crazy anymore." BB

Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet
Final Countdown: Rockets to Venus
Cosmic Ray's Excellent Venus Adventure
Lady Columba Venus Revelations
Raymond A. Keller, PhD, a.k.a. “Cosmic Ray,” is the author of the international awards-winning Venus Rising Series, published by Headline Books and available on amazon.com, while supplies last.
Be sure and check out the fourth addition to this series, The Vast Venus Conspiracy, which has recently become available on amazon.com. Book five in the series, Lady Columba Venus Revelations, will premiere at the Siskiyou Masonic Lodge in Mt. Shasta, California, at the “Meet the Venusians” conference, 26-30 August 2020. See Rob Potter’s website, thepromiserevealed.com, for further information on the conference or to purchase tickets.
In 1955 a special meeting was called in the sunbaked desert community of Blythe, Riverside County, California, to discuss the 1952 George Adamski contact case as well as an intense flap of flying saucer sightings and close encounters of every kind that ensued ever since.

Stepping Out on Hallowed Ground
On the day following the Bluebook magazine correspondent’s series of interviews conducted with the personnel of Blythe, California, KYOR Radio, Paul C. Benard continued where he left off, driving out to the station manager John M. Wages’ home to pick up Mrs. Wages and their 10-year-old son, Johnny, Jr., who were scheduled to direct the reporter to the exact spot where the now famous contactee, George Adamski, claimed to have photographed a Venusian scoutship and communicated with its pilot, telepathically at first and then vocally.
No sooner had Benard pulled into Wages’ driveway, than he was greeted by John, Sr., who introduced him to his wife and son before heading off to work in his own car. The mother and son then situated themselves comfortably in the back of Benard’s car while Mrs. Wages gave directions from the back seat as to the route that the journalist should take to get to the small and sunbaked settlement of Desert Center, some 48 miles to the west of Blythe off U.S. Route 60-70.
While Benard was driving the long stretch, Mrs. Wages talked incessantly about George Adamski and speculated on how life might be on Venus, the Moon and Mars. She even brought a copy of the book that Adamski co-wrote with the British nobleman Sir Desmond Leslie along with her, just in case they needed to reference anything once they arrived at the site. She was proud to have a copy that Adamski personally autographed for her. John, Jr., rolled down the window on his side of the car and put his head down on his mother’s lap. “Just wake me up when we get there,” he declared. Apparently, he had been to the site on a few occasions.
When Benard pulled off Route 60-70 and into Desert Center, there wasn’t that much to see: a small diner, a service station and a handful of houses. “So, this is the flying saucer mecca of the world” mused Benard.
“Actually, Paul, we have a little way more to go. The landing site is somewhere in the vicinity of the mile marker at 10.2 miles from this state road that we are now on. It cuts across the Colorado desert to the northeast, leading out to Parker Dam,” explained Mrs. Wages.
There was nobody else on this desolate road. Benard was glad that he took the time to fill up his car, as well as check the battery and oil, as soon as they exited the U.S. route. Mrs. Wages, with ample foresight, packed and brought along a picnic lunch of fried chicken, potato salad and soda pop.
No sooner than Benard and party arrived at the marker, than another car was seen parked alongside the road. At least they knew that they weren’t alone anymore and somebody else was out there checking out the situation. Little Johnny poked his head out the window and scanned the horizon. “Look!” he shouted. “There’s a Venusian over there!” Johnny brought a pair of binoculars along with him, just in case any extraterrestrials or flying saucer occupants were to show up. He focused the field glasses on the small being slipping and sliding down the lava-strewn slopes about a quarter of a mile away. “Aw, shucks!” declared Johnny, Jr. “It’s only another kid.”
“So, who drove the car?” wondered Benard. “Can I see your binoculars, Johnny?” asked the reporter.
“Sure, Mr. Benard. No problem,” said Johnny, Jr., handing them over.
“Hmmm, there are two women out there. They look to be elderly, maybe in their late 60s or 70s.” They were making their way down a treacherous hillside. Benard and Mrs. Wages walked over to talk to them. One was the frolicking boy’s grandmother and the other was her lady friend. They drove all the way from Portland, Oregon, a whopping 1,345-mile trip, just to see this place where a Venusian had allegedly come to Earth in a flying saucer.
The expanded party then reconnoitered the area for about an hour until they came across a spot that matched the descriptions provided by Adamski in his book. It was a vast clearing, surrounded by wind-worn sandhills, just as Adamski clearly stated in his epic Flying Saucers Have Landed. There was also an abundance of other evidence that we had found the right spot. Hundreds of other “saucer researchers” had come to this God-forsaken locale during the past year or so and set up camp, wistfully hoping that Orthon and the Venusian scout ship would return. The clearing was littered with tin cans and the charred remains of campfires. There were even old mattresses with protruding bed springs and crude, wooden tables. The camp sites had clearly been abandoned, however; and Benard pondered what new saucer landing zone they might have flocked to. After all, there were plenty of new contactees emerging on the saucer circuit, with lots of them right there in California. He heard rumors about a Venusian flying saucer base being located right under Mt. Shasta, in the north of the state.
Varied Local Opinions
Later that afternoon, Benard, Mrs. Wages and son were back in Blythe. After the correspondent dropped them back at their home, Benard spoke once again with the Blythe High School science teacher, George Wixom, at his residence. “What do you think of this Adamski fellow, George? You’re of a scientific mindset. Is he legit?”
“Well, Paul, human belief is a strange thing. No matter how strongly you believe something that hasn’t actually been proved, there is always a tiny, recurring doubt in the back of your head. Normally, I would dismiss Adamski’s claims out of hand, since Venus is probably too hot to support any life as we know it. However, he does have lots of witnesses who have signed affidavits attesting to the reality of his encounter, and the mysterious being Orthon apparently said he was from Venus.”
Wixom then informed Benard that his arrival in Blythe was fortuitous, for there was to be a citizen’s meeting later that night, where a San Diego newspaperman, F. E. Rogers, was to play a tape- recorded message about Venusians coming to Earth in their flying saucers. Wixom was slotted to emcee the event. “Do you know Rogers and have you heard this tape?” asked Benard.
“No, I haven’t,” declared Wixom. Then he smiled and added, “But I think you have to keep an open mind when you are trying to get at the truth.”
Benard realized that he had arrived in this desert area at a most opportune time. News of Rogers’ forthcoming presentation had spread far and wide. Grady Setzler, the editor of the Palo Verde Times, had also arrived in Blythe to cover this story. Benard and Wixom met up with the editor in a local café, the Blythe Coffee Shop, prior to the big meeting. Setzler seems to be keeping an open mind about flying saucers and Venusians, too. “Mine is only a layman’s point of view,” he related to Benard and the science teacher, “but I don’t rule out the saucers. Only an ignorant person would do that.”
Others were hanging around in the local restaurant waiting for the arrival of Rogers and the start of the momentous meeting:
Blythe mayor A. J. Alexander, on the other hand, refused to commit himself one way or another. Like the typical politician, all he had to say was, “Anything is possible; but that is all I will say.”
A local minister opined that, “Church-going folks are sometimes afraid to admit that the saucers may be a reality;” but he had to question, “Does God have so little ability that he couldn’t have created other worlds and humans to populate them?”
Even Lois Kumer, a waitress at the café, shared a hunch she had that the flying saucers come from another world. “But I’d sure like to know,” she told Benard, “because my husband Jerry, a radio-installations man, has seen those saucers time-and-time again. He told me that their speed and method of flight defy anything on this planet.”
Hitting a Snag- “Cancel Culture” 1950’s Style
People from everywhere were showing up at the café, crowding all the tables, standing room only. They were all waiting for the green light to move over to the high school auditorium for Rogers’ flying saucer presentation. Suddenly the boys from KYOR Radio burst into the Blythe Coffee Shop with some bad news. Permission to use the high school for the saucer meeting had been revoked by the school board.
Benard managed to catch up with the Superintendent of Schools, Murrell M. Miller, who proclaimed, “The board cannot afford to go out on a limb. We can’t have it appear that we are sponsoring this meeting and officially endorsing Rogers and his tape recording.”
At that moment, a local rancher, Clyde Cowan, offered the use of his home for the meeting, partially solving the committee’s problem. The last-minute change, plus the fact that the new meeting venue was seven miles outside of Blythe, might cut down the attendance substantially. Surprisingly, when the Bluebook magazine correspondent actually reached the ranch house, there were more than 70 people crammed into the sprawling living room.
The local science teacher served as the emcee and announced that the meeting would be delayed for about twenty minutes, allowing sufficient time for any stragglers to arrive. By the time the meeting was convened, there were more than eighty in attendance and even more were expected.

Don’t forget to return to this website for Part IV of “Desert Center, California: Epicenter of Flying Saucer Reports,” where we attend the controversial flying saucer meeting in search of the truth about the Venusian visitations to Earth, and Southern California particularly.
Uniformed Alien Confronts Witness Near Land O' Lakes State Forest, Minnesota
A Minnesota man recalls an alien encounter and possible abduction when he was a boy and attending a family reunion near Land O' Lakes State Forest.
The following account was recently forwarded to me:
"I was attending our family reunion at my uncle's cabin near Land O' Lakes State Forest, Minnesota during the first week of July 1986. There were about 25 family members present, including my aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was the first night at the cabin and all the children were set up in tents outside. That night, my two older brothers, my cousin and I shared a four person tent about 150 feet away from the cabin. Since it was so long ago, I've just recently become more fearful of it.
We were all sleeping. I guess it was around 2 AM. I was sleeping on the far side of the tent and for some reason I woke up in the middle of the night. I was lying flat on my back and I found myself looking directly into the eyes of something. It was standing on my left near my head and appeared to be studying me before I woke. The image of its face, that I can still picture vividly in my head, is similar to others drawings that I've seen later in my adult life. Somewhat normal-sized head, though large for its body. It couldn't have been more than four feet tall. grey/green wrinkly face. Very small nostril holes. The nose was almost flush with its face. The eyes. The frightening part about its eyes was the way that it was looking at me. Or maybe I misunderstood its reaction to my terror. It was wearing a collared uniform of sorts. similar to a trench coat that came down to the ground with seams on the front. I believe that this being was important. It was dark fuchsia/purple in color and appeared to be a dull suede texture. The moonlight made his face and coat sort of glow. The suit had a tall collar. I got the impression that this was a possible leader or overseer.
This all happened in a few seconds. I remember being terrified and immediately trying to scream but nothing happened. My brothers didn't wake. I just remember the very serious look that came over its face as if I did scream. His head tilted back like he was scorning me, or that it was somehow disappointed.
The next portion of my memory picks up shortly after. I remember being very cold, wet and beginning to wake again. This time I am on the ground in the weeds about fifteen feet from the tent. It took all of five seconds after waking on the ground before I remembered the face that I just saw looking down at me from inside the tent, and I let out a terrifying scream. I remember I screamed so violently that I woke my aunt who was sleeping in the cabin over 150 feet away. I saw her silhouette after she quickly flipped on the lights to investigate. I ran to the tent and my brother was still scrambling to unzip the door. I remember the sound of the zipper when finally opening it, and he reached his arms out and pulled me in. He was asking me what was wrong. I was scared and confused. He had me lie back down. As I lied there I told him what I had seen in the tent with us. He told me to just go back to sleep. I never told him that I also just woke up outside. That wasn't supposed to be the important part!
The next morning there were about ten other people who were talking and asking around if they knew who it was that was screaming at 3:30 in the morning. No one would say. My aunt chimed in and said she heard it too, and how she had quickly looked out the window and couldn't see who it was. This also frightened me because I thought it was apparent to everyone!
I went and found my mom and whispered to her that it was me, that "I screamed last night." She appeared worried and asked why. "I saw an alien." I remember the nervous pause before she whispered back "...don't say that to anyone, okay?"
I believe that there was an hour or more of lost time between the encounter in the tent and realizing that I was outside the tent and screaming. How did I end up outside the tent? How did I get wet? Was I abducted? I've never been able to answer this." K

A Yucca Valley, CA resident recalls observing 4 semi-transparent beings flying above him, his father and sister. This is just one of many flying being encounters I have received from the area.
This is another report that I found on an older flying humanoid database:
I had a very bizarre experience in 1994 when I was 11 years old, and it was also witnessed by two other people; my dad and my little sister. To put it plainly, we saw four semi-transparent beings with human-like appendages and heads flying in the sky maybe 10-12 feet above us one night in our front yard in Yucca Valley, California.
We were walking to our car to go somewhere when they appeared. They seemed not to notice us and actually were playfully chasing each other around in the sky. It was almost as if they were made out of pure light. They were maybe 3-4 feet tall, had very little detail, and were randomly flying in no particular patterns. We watched them for maybe two minutes. They never got really close to us or tried to approach us.
I know what you're thinking; theatre spotlights or some kids playing with flashlights. But there were no light sources coming from below or above them. There were no beams of light coming from the ground to where they were floating. They were suspended in mid-air, and like I said were literally no more than 10 feet above our heads.
My Dad and my sister still remember to this day that night, and most people can't offer an explanation for it when I tell them the story. I've researched many things since then to try to connect it with anything real. Ghosts, aliens, angels...I don't know what they were, but they did not look or act anything like these things. After a couple minutes they just vanished. Literally winked out of existence. They seemed very benevolent yet very foreign, but the three of us felt like we weren't in danger.
NOTE: Over the years, I have received several reports of unexplained flying beings throughout the Yucca Valley region. Many times, these beings are winged and compared to Mothman. Others have called them Angels. They never seem to be threatening or malevolent, and usually appear in relation to other supernatural events, ex. hauntings and light anomalies. I distinctly remember one sightings of a Mothman-like being that manifested over the recently burned out foundation of a house. Very unusual area. Lon

Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid / Flying Entity Sightings & Encounters
UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map
Unknown Flying Being / Object Seen Over Milwaukee, Wisconsin
A witness from Milwaukee, Wisconsin describes a flying object or being that he observed while waiting for a friend in his vehicle. It's difficult to determine what this object may have been.
I found this older report while searching through a flying humanoid database:
The sighting occurred on a side street in an industrial neighborhood, a few blocks from the intersection of W. Capital Dr. and N. Palmer St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Williamsburg Heights) on February 2, 2010 at 6:30 PM local time (it the early evening and dark). A friend was in a meeting with a local community organization and I decided to stay in the car to make some work related phone calls. I had just finished up with the phone calls when I decided to step out of the car for a cigarette. I leaned up against the driver-side door of the car facing the south as I smoked. I noticed some movement to my right, and looked in that direction.
An object anywhere from 4 to 5.5 feet long, oriented perpendicular to the ground, was floating about 15 feet off the ground. The object was moving from the west to the east at about 6 - 8 miles per hour with a very shallow guide slope, about 1 degree. At first I thought that the object might be a kite cut loose from its string with how smoothly and quietly it was gliding along, until it passed underneath some power lines and a few feet later it ascended vertically by about 5 feet to clear the top of a building that it was headed for. It then moved parallel to the top of the building for about 300 feet until my view of the object became obstructed by another taller building to my left. The object was an imperfect cylindrical shape with a few small protrusions here and there.
When I realized that the object was not a wayward kite, I thought about reports of flying humanoids. However, the protrusions didn't seem to fit with what was described in those accounts - additionally there was a brief metallic flash as light from a lamppost reflected off of the object - this does not seem to fit with the description of flying humanoids either. Other than the brief metallic flash the object was entirely black. The closest the object's path took it to me was about 120 feet and I was able to observe the object for about 2 minutes, so I had ample opportunity to try to identify the object and for the life of me I cannot think of anything that this object could have been. Even after going home and doing a Google image search for UAVs nothing I have ever seen can match up with the description of this object.
My reaction to this object was initially one of pure curiosity until after I had dropped my friend off at his place, then I became extremely nervous and scared.
NOTE: The witness mentioned that there had been recent (February 2010) reports of flying humanoids in the Milwaukee area. There was a brief period in 2009 where there were a few reported sightings of 'flying humanoids with bright green eyes.' The descriptions were very general, so this case may or may not be related.

White 'Crawler' Humanoid Incidents in Missouri, Ontario & Arkansas
3 separate encounters and sightings of white crawler humanoids. These particular accounts come from Missouri, Ontario and Arkansas.
The following account were either recently sent to me or posted on social media:
"Late one night, in July of 2019, I was driving on a back highway, somewhere in southern Missouri (I think Hwy 60, southeast of Springfield). I was the only vehicle on the road for what seemed like quite a while. I had my high beams on, keeping my eye on the road, listening to music, when all of a sudden, some humanoid creature ran at a high speed across the road in front of me, causing me to swerve to avoid hitting it.
I grew up in the Midwest, so I am not unfamiliar with things crossing my path at night, but this creature...it left me absolutely terrified. I have never seen anything like it before or ever since, and I have absolutely no answer as to what this creature was. It was running on all fours, but it was big. I want to say probably 4 feet from the ground to top of its back. It looked like a tall, lanky, skin and bones, bare skinned naked humanoid with long black hair, and a sunken face, with empty eyes that glowed white, like an animal in headlights. When those eyes met with mine, pure terror came over me, not understanding what I was seeing. The closest thing I've been able to find that even slightly looks like what I saw, would be some drawings of skinwalkers and/or crawlers.
I would love to have anybody try to help me figure out what this was!! It has not ceased to terrify me thinking of it sense then." A
-----
"So this happened yesterday. I live out in the country ( north Arkansas) surrounded by fields. I love to hunt and seeing as it’s still quail season, I’d like to get some. So I usually cross this field nearby to go into some trees that have a lot of birds and what not. I was planning on staying awhile so I brought some food (crackers, cookies, cliff bar) and water (the nasty Ozark kind).
I began crossing the field and got over to the trees with ease, nothing scary. After about an hour and half of just walking though the trees and looking for quail I decide to sit against a tree facing the field and start eating my cliff bar. Well, I’d be damned if I didn’t see a white crawler creature crossing the field crouched like how I didn’t see it 3 months ago. I knew I wasn’t crazy this time. It was crawling from my left to my right and a good 70 yards away (I’m guessing) . Now of course I was frozen in fear for about 20 seconds just watching him vibe on across the field. I only had a 20 gage so I’m not gonna take him on so I just watched him cross the field, go into the tree line and disappear. It didn’t seem to see me but a crazy 2nd experience
I did have my phone on me but I was so afraid to move, the thought of it turning, crawling at me full speed." CB
-----
"So, I am a bit spooked. I was driving in the woods at night with my dad (I live in the middle of the forest). We went down a long, dark road in Ontario, Canada and suddenly saw a semi low, earless, boney and elongated creature with no tail that reminded me of the shape of a starving human mixed with a hairless dog. It was so fast it was a blur, and had long fingers and skin colored pale flesh.
Same night we saw strange foot prints outside our house that was not recognizable as a deer, moose, etc.(We both have spent plenty of time in the woods and recognize tracks, never seen anything like it) Looked like a cloven hoof mixed with a humanoid shaped print and was fairly spread out and large. The foot pattern was like a V shape, and followed across our yard in the snow but suddenly stopped and left a gap of no prints and continued again in the same line. We saw this same creature a year ago, and we often hear deep growls that are so loud they are as if a tree fell in the woods and can be compared to a garbage disposal layered with a high pitched trumpet with occasional clicking at our windows. My dad often sees glinting of gleaming eyes and sudden movement of the same creature, followed by the same call.
We have Native burial grounds and reserves in the city and area I live and lots of sightings of odd unexplainable things, including a place where thousands of Natives were tortured and killed; this particular area people report being pushed, hearing deep growls and screeches, scratching noises, weird glinting eyes and getting disoriented by sounds, wind, movements and even being pulled or separated with groups (people say the wind picks up and disorients, and they black out somewhat- as if they lost time- separated from friends and waking up with it being pitch black at night).
Anyone know what this is? A Crawler? Skinwalker? I am quite frightened." V

Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid / Flying Entity Sightings & Encounters
UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map
Reptile-Like Creature & UFO Encountered at Big Rock Quarry in Illinois
An Illinois couple encounter a reptile-like creature while fishing at Big Rock Quarry near Sugar Grove. The next day, the same witness and a friend observe a UFO at the same location.
I recently received the following account:
"My girlfriend and I were fishing at a stone quarry that was surrounded by cornfields and small patches of light forest and shrubbery. We were outside of Sugar Grove, Illinois at Big Rock Quarry. It was May 1988.
The sun had just set. The area behind us slowly rose to a corn field edged by shrubbery and small trees. The edge of the trees and shrubbery is about 15 to 20 yards behind us.
We were sitting on the edge of the water and had started packing up when all of a sudden we heard this very loud roar. It made us both jump up instantly. It roared again. I could see the outline of a creature with a large head and large eyes. I grabbed my flashlight and shined it at the creature. It had very large greenish orangish oval eyes.
It roared again and you could see very large predator like teeth. Then it moved through the trees and shrugs so fast we could not see it move until it was at it's next destination. Then it roared again. It had a roar that was not like anything that lives on this planet, especially in Illinois.
It was very frightening. The creature was at its closest 10 yards and maybe 50 yards at it's furthest. The eyes reminded me of a large reptile's.
The next day I went back with my friend to see if I could see or detect signs of anything. I could not find anything. No tracks or broken limbs.
My buddy and I started fishing. We were there about and hour when it started to get dark again. We packed up. We started to walk up the short path to my jeep when we both stopped in our tracks. Coming across the cornfield at treetop level was a long disc-shaped craft.
It had several lights on it with a large light that shined on us for a few seconds. Then it made a 45 degree turn and went out of the atmosphere in the blink of eye. The craft that we saw did not have a sound. Very bizarre." BH

2nd Report of 'Unnatural Sized' Winged Creature in Mercer County Park, NJ
A 2nd report concerning a large avian entity is received from Mercer County Park, New Jersey. I have included an earlier report from the same general area in the mid-1980s.
The following account was reported to MUFON on 2018-02-04. This is the first time I have seen it:
My wife and I while trail biking in a remote area inside Mercer County Park were startled by a huge "bird" that took off from a tree at approximately 15 feet up directly in front of us while we stopped for a brief moment. This was on the narrow trail by the creek that feeds the backside of the dam.
I am a retired law enforcement officer. I was very much concerned by this observation and felt that this encounter was unnatural by the size of this creature. My wife was not concerned and wanted to go follow it. I had a feeling that we might be in jeopardy and I wanted to leave immediately.
The bird had a wing span over 10 feet and was larger that anything natural I have ever seen fly. It made no sound and when it left the tree directly in front of us it glided approximately 50 feet into a row of trees across the creek and I couldn't see it land. She wanted to follow it and I had this feeling of doom and wanted to leave. I knew it was unnatural and there was a sense of impending doom to me. I couldn't readily see a head, beak, tail, legs or claws. This "bird" was the size of a small hang glider.
I know Hawks, Buzzards, Vultures, and the different kinds of flying creatures in the surrounding habitat. I am a outdoors person and have grown up in this environment. I am familiar with all that live in the habitat. When this thing glided away from the tree I focused on the right wing and it had a perpendicular multi colored pattern of gray, black and brown in varying shades. The sheer size and mass of this thing was nothing I have ever seen before. The clincher beyond the sheer size and mass of this thing was the eerie alarming feeling I had when I saw it that told me to leave.
This account is particularly interesting because of a previous report I received in the same general area:
"I just read your post about the dragon sighted over southern New Jersey. It took me by surprise because I had a similar experience in the mid-eighties when I was still a kid (about ten years old, I think).
It was before noon, in the springtime, and I was biking around a local ballpark by my house. (Nottingham baseball field in Hamilton, NJ). There were no games scheduled that day so I was alone, as far as I could tell.
There was a play area and a pond by the woods that I would frequent, when I was bored, in the hopes of finding other kids to play with.
About halfway there, while looking up at the clouds and sky, I saw what I thought was a plane coming from the south. There's a small air strip by us and there were some very cool bi-planes that would fly by from time to time. My favorite was a red baron style one, and I thought that was it, because of the color.
I stopped and turned to watch (and wave, it's what kids do). When the plane gave it's wings a single, long, flap, that's when I realized it wasn't a plane.
It was a dragon. There is no doubt in my mind. It was dark red and I could see the sun shimmering off it's scales as it got closer. Needless to say, I didn't wave. I felt frozen to the spot, dumbstruck, a little scared, and very, very excited.
It was huge, flying at about the same height as the bi-planes do, and it didn't make any sound as it went overhead. just gliding. It was like a classical European dragon, but the proportions were a little different.
When it was right overhead I felt a blast of heat. I assumed it was it's fiery breath at the time. I was absolutely vibrating with excitement and looking around frantically for anyone else that might be around. the ballfields were empty, no one was outside in the nearby houses!
It kept going at a steady clip and right before it disappeared over the tree line to the north it gave another slow flap of it's massive wings.
I turned right around and sped out of the park hoping to find someone else who saw it too. No one, everyone was inside their homes that early. When I got home I realized no one would believe me. So I never told my parents. They'd think I was making it up. Instead I told my older sister, but she said I probably saw a hang-glider or a fancy plane.
It was such an odd sighting I never perused it further. Nice to see the dragons are still flying over New Jersey though. Thanks for all you do, your blog is awesome." D

Possible 'Alternate Reality' Encounter in Central Alabama Woods
3 pre-teens encounter an unknown human-like being one night in the dark woods of Sylacauga, Alabama. Is it possible that this was a glimpse into another reality?
I saw this account several years ago:
"I had turned 11 years old during the prior month, and school year had started few weeks beforehand in September 1971. At that time, there was several family relative living closely together within a rural area in close proximity of Sylacauga, Alabama. The area terrain was low, forested hills, with paved roadway, and widely-spaced residences in reasonably cleared areas along route.
The incident occurred after nightfall near evening meal time (approx. 7:00-8:00 PM), on a night with no following day's school. My younger step-cousin had hiked his way through a forested area separating the neighboring residences, requesting my younger brother and myself accompany him back to the other residence, to engage in playing various board games. To best of my memory, the evening was seasonally warm with moonlight.
As the 3 of us proceeded back through the forested area separating the residences, I took note of the amount of noise we were creating just from walking through the seasonal "tree-litter" all over the forest floor, and ambient moonlight was enough to easily avoid footing/collision issues.
Approximately halfway through forested area, I had wandered slight distance ahead of other 2 individuals (approx. 10-15 ft.) from them being engaged in dawdling around, pushing and jesting each other. While continuing to walk, I would occasionally engage jokingly with them. As I arrived to the side area of a moderate sized tree I walked by it and suddenly caught sight of what looked like a "person" jumping out from around the tree from a hiding position, that came lunging towards me with outstretched arms, as if to seize/grab. Because had been caught totally off-guard and quite startled, I rapidly twisted away from "whoever" was leaping at me, turning towards my left and crouching/hunkering over in a desperate defensive position, with teeth clenched & eyes force-closed, expecting the attacker to soon contact my exposed back. From the brief glance at whoever was leaping from behind the tree, the person appeared to be approx. 5 1/2' tall, slim-normal build, and had hair that looked "normal" (although non-combed/un-kept), of short-medium length & lesser color shade than medium brown. My glance did not last long enough to take in particulars of facial features, clothing, etc.
I then began to slowly, cautiously rise back up out of the defensive position, while listening intently for any forest floor litter noise to indicate the location or pathway of the attacker. Absolutely no associated noise was detected, and as no "noticeable" physical attack was forthcoming, I apprehensively finished standing back up and glanced all around me. Whoever had looked like it was jumping at me from behind the tree was nowhere in sight, and any departure from the area went undetected.
During the process of glancing around me, noticed that both my brother and the step-cousin were in the process of recovery from almost identical defensive reactions/positions as myself, and were also starting to glance about in apprehension, confusion, etc. After determining nothing was around us, we simply shrugged shoulders at each other, and resumed our progress through the forested area, as if nothing had occurred.
Only once during the evening's board game play did my brother casually ask what I thought that was all about, back in the woods, to which I replied I thought it must have been a "spook/ghost" pulling pranks. This explanation seemed to satisfy him, and the incident has never been discussed, since.
What is your opinion to this incident" H
NOTE: This is a very strange encounter and similar to what witnesses have described an interdimensional incident or the opening to an alternate reality. The fact that there were 3 witnesses make the incident that more intriguing. Your thoughts? Lon
