'Shapeshifter Men' Attack Female Conference Attendee in Irvine, CA

The following account was sent to me by an associate who was once a MUFON FI. They had been a part of this investigation, but no conclusion was ever reported. I may contact the experiencer at some point. Very bizarre encounter.

"I was up on the roof of the hotel watching the 2015 eclipse of the moon with a few other people from a conference I was attending in Irvine, California. Around 10:30 PM I decided to go to my hotel room and pack so that I could catch my flight in the morning. My roommate was already in the room and was watching TV. She had already packed her things. There was a strange bottle by my bed which had green liquid inside and a label which said bio-cleaner on it. I commented to my roommate how odd it was for that bottle to be there and that the hotel staff would use bio-cleaner to clean a hotel room. I then moved to bottle from beside my bed to behind the TV because I did not want to sleep next to it.

We talked for approximately an hour as I packed my things and got ready for bed. Then we both tried to sleep. About 30 minutes later, my roommate asked if I was still awake. I said yes I could not sleep and she said that she felt the same way. She got up, got dressed and went downstairs to see who else was still awake. After she left the room I heard her loudly talking in the hallway with two male voices. Then I heard some Asian voices as well. I felt very afraid after hearing the escalated voices in the hallway and curled up in a ball in my bed and began to cry silently.

As I was crying I heard the hotel room door began to open. I laid in bed and prayed for my roommate to come back quickly. I felt like I could not move I wanted to look at the door to see who was coming into the room but could not. I may have blacked out for a minute or two from the fear I was feeling. When I opened my eyes I saw three men in the room with me. Two were tall and one was shorter. One taller man was at the foot of the bed holding my legs. One man was holding my arm down and one man was holding my head. At first I thought they were trying to have sex with me or rape me. I was very afraid and kept struggling to get free from them and asking them why they were doing this to me. As I looked at the faces they changed to people I had encountered at the conference. I began to question if these people were hurting me for some reason. Then the faces changed again back to their original ones I had seen. The three men kept talking to me and telling me various things, such as "this is for your own good." "We are not hurting you." "These people are hurting you." "We need to know if there's anything left." "You need to stop talking to people or bad things will happen to you."

Then the man who was holding my arm pulled out a needle and tried to stick it into my arm. I kept fighting him. The man who was holding my head kept trying to put a white pill into my mouth and make me swallow it. I kept spitting the white pill out and turning my head away from him to see what the man holding my arm down was doing. I'm not sure what the man who was holding my legs was doing to me. At one point the man holding my head push the white pill way into the back of my mouth and put some water in my mouth then tilted my head back and forced me to swallow. At the same time the man holding my arm gave me an injection and then I suddenly felt very calm and sleepy. The man by my head gently tilted my head toward him and told me he would make sure that I was OK and would not swallow my tongue. It was best for me to sleep through the rest of this and not remember what was happening to me.

I must have fallen asleep at this point. I could, after a while, feel my body being washed down. It felt as though I was being systematically washed for a reason. I was being moved in different positions and washed down with something and then my skin was dried off. Then I must've fallen asleep again because the next thing I remember is the hotel room door opening and my roommate coming back into the room. I was still too afraid to move or talk to her but felt relieved that she was now in the room. She got back into bed and went to sleep. She kept waking up and asking me if I was OK because I kept sitting up in bed trying to stretch my legs and my body. I told her that I hurt really bad and felt like something bad had happened to me. She commented that you can feel like that after they visit you. I did not ask her what she meant by that. I laid down and tried to sleep but could not. My legs still hurt and I felt very raw vaginally inside as well as itchy and various parts of my body.

I waited until I thought she was asleep and then went into the bathroom to check my body for bruises because I hurt so badly. I couldn't sleep, so I left the hotel room and went for a walk downstairs and out by the pool to see if anyone else was still awake. The only other people awake in the hotel where the cleaning crew. I rode the elevator back up to the second floor and when I got off there was a sign by the elevator which read, "Remember your manual. Do not forget your instructions. "

The sign struck me as odd. It also had a room number listed on it I decided to investigate. I went down the hallway, found the room and put my ear to the door. I could hear movement inside of the room and then decided to see if my room keycard wouldn't open the door. I inserted it into the slot and it did not open I tried it again. The noise inside the room stopped. I then slowly walked back to my hotel room stopping to use a public restroom on the way. After I use the bathroom I looked in the toilet and noticed what appeared to be white human tissue. I thought of reaching and grabbing it but then decided to just not. I had already had two mysterious pregnancies and miscarriages and did not want to go down the road of unexplained tissue, so I flushed the toilet. I then went back to my hotel room to try to sleep.

I still could not sleep, so I got up and took my shaver and went back down to the public restroom to shave my legs. I then tried to sleep again in the hotel room I may have dozed off for a minute or two but mostly just laid there sore and wide-awake.

At about 5:30 AM I could not lay there any longer and decided it was time for me to get up. I got dressed. My roommate woke up slightly and asked if I was leaving. I told her yes, that I could not sleep and thought it best for me to just go to the airport. She wished me a safe flight and told me to be careful.

As I waited in the lobby for the airport shuttle, there were three other men also waiting. They looked very similar to the three men that I had seen in my hotel room earlier that night. They stood together outside of the hotel and kept looking at me as we were waiting for the shuttle. We all boarded the shuttle together. I sat behind the tall man in the back and the other two man sat on the left side of the shuttle. I felt very disorientated or drugged but tried to shake it off. A song came on the radio and I sang along silently to it, still trying to make sense of what it happened to me earlier that evening. None of the men talk to each other on the shuttle to the airport. Two of the men got off the shuttle with me. They followed me to the check in point and then the shorter man told me, "Have a nice flight and try to forget," or something to that extent. I looked down at my luggage and looked up. They were gone. I'm not sure if they disappeared into the crowd or just disappeared.

Skipping ahead to the airplane flight home. My seat was in the back of the plane and a man sat next to me in the aisle seat with a seat between us. During the whole flight he never talk to me but I felt very tired and disorientated so I slept for most of the flight. I was aware of people moving around on the plane but just could not shake the tiredness that I was feeling. When the plane landed in Minneapolis, we started getting off.

The man who had sat next to me waited until it was time for me to get off then he got up and went out the back door of the airplane and disappeared. It struck me as odd for a passenger to exit through the rear of the plane. I got off the plane and waited for a minute or two in the ramp into the terminal to see if the man would come this direction. No one else came off the plane. I just decided it was best to forget and went to find my luggage.

I got my luggage and waited for the shuttle bus to bring me to my vehicle because I had parked away from the airport. Two men got onto the shuttle with me. They reminded me of the two men that I had seen earlier that morning in California. They did not talk to each other much and did look at me from time to time. They got off the shuttle before me and then the driver brought me to my vehicle.

As I drove away from Minneapolis toward my home my body began to hurt again and I began to remember the night before...being touched, washed and talked to. The further I drove the more afraid I felt until finally I pulled over at a gas station and purchased a car charger for my phone because I had lost mine. I called a friend who advised me to go to the nearest hospital and get checked out, which I did.

After talking with other people from Minnesota who had attended the conference they told me that at the time I was claiming to have been visited or assaulted that a group of them had been down in near the hotel lobby and that the hotel fire alarm system had gone off. A few of them had also joked about seeing a craft hovering near the hotel." MN

Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid / Flying Entity Sightings & Encounters

UPDATED: Chicago / Lake Michigan Winged Humanoid Regional Interactive Map

'Reptile-Human' Entity Encountered in Elk Grove, California (Photo)

An Elk Grove, California painter heard sonic booms from above, then eventually encounters a 'reptile-human' entity in the bushes. They later investigate the sewer and come face-to-face with the creature.

The following information was recently forwarded to me:

"I had been in empty field in Elk Grove, California getting some painting done. It was in October 2015 during the mid-afternoon. Then suddenly, I heard what can be called a sonic boom. I quickly looked up and try to identify what had made this strange sound.

I saw an aircraft, which was unusual for the area I was in. I came to the assumption that this was no ordinary aircraft. I went back to painting when I heard another sonic boom. It had done this 3 or 4 times before disappearing suddenly. Out of curiosity I went to investigate the object and that's when things got weird.

I heard something rustling near some bushes. I froze in fear waiting for the entity to reveal itself, camera ready. It jumped out of the bush snarling and sniffing. I snapped a photo and forgot to turn off the sound. It heard the noise and went to investigate. It got around 30 feet away from me and didn't notice me. Out of fear, I was ready to turn back and get out of there. But the curiosity got the best of me.

I knew of a local sewer access that I thought it could have tried to take shelter in. So I went and brought a flashlight and got my other camera.

After what seemed about 200 yards of walking, I heard footsteps other than mine. I turned off the flashlight and yelled, "I have a knife and I'm not afraid to use it." Then I heard a roar and growl come from the end of tunnel. I froze in fear and dropped my flashlight. As it rolled back and fourth, flickering on and off, I waited for it to stop moving. I stood there for several seconds. Then the next thing that I saw has haunted me. It was a human - reptile creature staring at me with eyes that reflected the light from my flash light. I snapped a photo (added below) then I quickly started running until I was about a mile away from the area. I never went back. But for what I know it could still be hiding in the sewers waiting.

Any thoughts on the images?" S

NOTE: I have attempted to procure further information from the witness. So far, what I have posted is all I have received. Lon

Huge Translucent Manta Ray Shaped Entity Observed Over Burnside, Kentucky

A Kentucky resident is driving late at night when they observe a huge translucent manta ray shaped entity flying above them.

Burnside, Kentucky - 11/22/2014:

My daughter called me around 1:20 AM to inform me that she was in the ER with a kidney stone. She requested that I come to the hospital to take her home as she had finally passed a stone but had been given pain medication and was advised not to drive.

I picked her up from the hospital and took her home. She assured me that she would be fine and just wanted to sleep as she needed to go to work the next morning.

I drove the 6-7 miles home and pulled into my driveway and got out of my car. It was 3 AM and I looked up at all the stars in the sky, noting their beauty when suddenly above me I heard a swish.

Directly above me, about 50-100 ft. off the ground, I looked up to see something that was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. There was a large stingray-shaped entity slowly pulsating as it flew above me. It was as large as my house which is 2500 square feet. I noted that I could see the stars through its body, although its outline was clearly visible. It did not fly as birds fly but rather seemed to undulate its body along in a perfect synchronized manner.

My house sits about 150 ft. from my neighbors and its shape covered the space between out houses so it was quite wide. As it undulated, I could see that hanging down from its back was something that looked like a tail or legs held together. I could not be sure as it continued to move as I watched it transfixed. It made no other sound except that initial swish when I looked up. I think it wanted me to see it, I felt that; as I watched it until it disappeared across a farm field in the back of my neighbors home. There was no odor of light associated with my sighting except the stars. At no time did I feel that it intended to harm me but even after it disappeared from sight, I felt frozen in amazement. I could not sleep after I went to bed and even now I gaze at the sky looking for it.

Has anyone else reported this entity? - MUFON

NOTE: I have been investigating the flying manta ray phenomenon for over a decade. This particular entity is much larger than others that have been reported to me. Very interesting account. Lon

Tall Glowing White Humanoid Encountered in Rock Creek, Ohio

A witness in Rock Creek, Ohio encounters a tall glowing white humanoid one day in 2011, which they believe may have been a alien being.

The following account was recently posted on social media:

"Back in 2011, a group of friends and me were hanging out on my family friend's property in Rock Creek, Ohio. I just want to note that their property was a bit bizarre. It used to be a saloon. You could peel back the wallpaper and see bullet holes in the walls. Also there is an undocumented cemetery with about 20 graves. Some of the headstones can be made out, most can’t. I was too young to personally remember but, according to my family, there was a lot of paranormal activity that went on inside the house.

Anyway, one night in October 2011, I was hanging out with my friends. We had a bonfire going and we were just talking (no alcohol or anything involved). We had walked up this hill that led to a huge empty field area, surrounded by trees.

All of a sudden, something caught my eye. I was looking at what I can’t explain too much, other than I believed it was a possible alien being. It was not human, although it had some  resemblance. It was similar to our human shape but it was much much more slender, probably 7.5 to 8 foot tall. It was white, a bit glowing, and its arms were very long/lengthy.

Almost the second I spotted it, it turned its head and looked directly at me, only I couldn’t see or at least can not remember its face. I couldn’t tell you if it had eyes, a nose, a mouth, or ears. I don’t recall seeing or not seeing any facial features. We starred at each other for what felt like a lifetime but was probably less than 5 seconds.

Suddenly it took off running into the woods at a speed that no human could obtain. I was so freaked out and kept asking my friends if they saw what I saw. But none of them did. Now again there was no alcohol or drugs or anything at all involved. I’m an open minded but also realistic person. This is a true sighting and not some made up story." S

NOTE: I forwarded a message to the witness in order to obtain further information. Lon

'White Walker' Humanoid Incidents in Sacramento, California City Park

A Sacramento, California resident describes her encounters with tall 'white walkers' in a particular city park on multiple occasions.

The following account was recently posted on social media:

"This takes place in the Sacramento, CA area. It was about two years ago now. It was winter, night time, around 2 am. I had just gotten off work but wasn’t ready to go home, so I had pulled over on the side of the road before turning into my neighborhood. On this street, there’s a suburban neighborhood to the right, and fields and trees to the left.

As I was sitting there, I saw a figure come out of the neighborhood a little less than a 1/4 mile ahead of where I was parked, approximately where the neighborhood park is. It was hard to see from that distance, but it appeared tall (7 to 8 feet), super skinny and bony, hunched over, with long arms. It sprinted across the road at a speed faster than I’ve ever seen a human go (I couldn’t guess the speed, but it was fast enough to concern me). If it wasn’t for it’s speed, I probably would have just assumed it was human and ignored it. It disappeared into the fields. Something calm came over me, I don’t know what it was but something was keeping me from panicking. I remember just feeling like “okay, it is time to leave now” and calmly driving home. It wasn’t until a few months later that I realized that what I had seen wasn’t normal.

Flash forward to a week ago, A friend and I were at that same park doing some spells (we practice witchcraft). As it got later into the night, we both started to feel more and more unwelcome there. As I was finishing up my spell, we heard a inhuman guttural scream that sounded like it came from the area I saw that creature cross at. That’s not particularly incriminating, but as soon as I heard the scream, it’s apparent location made me think of the creature. I didn’t tell this to my friend as she is easily spooked, and I just tried to calmly finish up my spell (didn’t want to let my fear get out of control when doing spell work). We finally finished up and packed up and started the trek back to the car.

As we left, we faced a dark area with lots of bushes and trees across from the sidewalk we were taking to get to the car. As soon as I faced that dark spot, I had the feeling of looking at a face. I didn’t literally see a face, but it was the FEELING of seeing a face. And it didn’t feel like a human face. It felt like something that understood what I was but didn’t understand why I was there, and wasn’t quite hostile but had the attitude of like “get out of my home”. Once again, I didn’t tell my friend what I saw, not until we got in the car. Ever since then, I have not been able to shake the feeling that that face belonged to the same creature I saw two years ago.

Also, similar story but not the same. Last night, I was driving in a wooded area near Sacramento, and I saw a tall burly figure in the woods with a white face. Not white as in Caucasian, white as in stark white. I thought it was wearing a green shirt but I only saw it for a split second. It gave me such a bad uneasy feeling that I started putting protection sigils on my windows. I told the guy I was with what I saw. He didn’t tell me until later but he said he’s heard rumors of people seeing “white walkers” in these woods that are described as tall and having white faces and black hair. I don’t know what he meant or what, but that’s what he said. I also felt like something was watching me in those woods later." MM

NOTE: I contacted the witness in an attempt to gather further information. The 'white walker' / 'nightcrawler' phenomenon has been prevalent throughout the central valley of California for almost a decade. Lon

Acorn-Shaped UFOs / Hybrid Humanoid Encounter in Charleroi, Pennsylvania

A couple observes 2 acorn-shaped UFOs hovering above the Monongahela River in Charleroi, PA. Their daughter later encounters a hybrid humanoid in her bedroom that night.

The following incident was recently updated:

"My boyfriend and I had a strange sighting in the late afternoon of May 7, 2015 while bank fishing along the Monongahela River in Charleroi, PA. It was sunny, with a few clouds.

I had my line in the water and was looking in the sky, watching out for a possible sudden thunderstorm. I had my sunglasses on and spotted a dark sphere coasting along in the sky in front of us. It moved closer to our position and appeared to slow down. I got my boyfriend's attention to it. At first he couldn't see it because it was way up there and the bright sun made it hard to focus on it. He did see it and we watched. I got a better look with my sunglasses on. It was an acorn shaped dark black object, however one area seemed to be flashing a red light on the left middle part of it. There was nothing reflective on this object. It definitely was not a Mylar balloon. This object was much larger than a small balloon. If I had to guess, I'd say it was approximately half the size of a Volkswagen bug car.

This object did not move with the wind, it moved against it and hovered for 2-3 minutes. While watching this, I was stunned to see an identical object fly into sight right a few feet above the one we were already watching. It was the exact same dark black acorn shaped object that did not reflect the sun. This object had a blue flashing light in the same spot on it, as the other one. Both objects hovered for 4-5 minutes, then slowly moved away from us. I kept questioning what it was that we saw. I was perplexed that these objects did not reflect the sunlight.

We went about our day and arrived home later that evening. That night, my boyfriend had a hard time sleeping. He had a stomach ache, probably from something he ate earlier. He did seem anxious last night. I remember he woke me up in the middle of the night asking me if I had heard that 'knocking.' I did not hear the knocking he heard. After he woke me up, he went upstairs to check on it. He heard nothing while checking throughout the house. He came back and described the repetitious strange knocking sound he heard. I just chalked it up to maybe he was mistakenly hearing someone knocking on a neighbors door. We both went back to sleep.

About an hour later he woke me up again to tell me that our 11-year-old daughter was at the top of the stairs calling me. I got up and walked to the bottom of the stairs and asked her what was wrong. She said she was scared, that she saw a face in her room. She wasn't overly scared, so it didn't alarm me. I assumed she just had a bad dream and I told her to go back to bed. She hesitated, but did. She also slept with her light on in her room the rest of the night. 

Then around sunrise I was awakened by a loud noise of dishes sliding around in the kitchen sink upstairs. I didn't really feel alerted, as that kind of thing has happened before.

During breakfast, my daughter told me what happened during the night that scared her. She said something woke her up and she opened her eyes to a startling sight of face right up in her face. Maybe 1-2 inches away. She said it had white skin and was a slight human shape to it. She drew a picture of it. To me, it looked like a hybrid. She made the eye pupils dark and bigger than the average humans. She said it was just staring at her. She said she couldn't tell if it was male or female and didn't see any hair. Just the face. She said she closed her eyes and opened them up a few seconds later and it was still there. She said then the face slowly faded away.

It didn't occur to me that this all could be connected until late this morning. I felt it was important to report this and document it." P

NOTE: I remember reading this report now long after it had occurred. Then I recently read it again. It seems to have been updated from the original report. Lon

'Stalking Werewolf' in 1980s Sarasota. Florida Suburbs

I received the following account back in 2013 and have made references to it on previous occasions. Please read and help me with possible follow-up information. These incidents occurred in suburban Sarasota, Florida:

Lon,
The other story I want to tell you was a series of incidents with my siblings and I. As I said before we had a house in southwest Florida, back in the 1980s. For over a week our neighborhood had a series of what I believe were a stalking werewolf 
It was June I think and around 9 PM, I was out back on the patio. At that time no one had fences around their property, because all of us knew the others families around the area. The only exception was the family across the street from us - they had a 7 foot tall cinder block wall behind their house. They had a large wooded piece of property and kept equipment out there. The dad was in construction and the wall enclosed 3 sides of the property. It was hot out and a slight breeze, no clouds and starry.
As I sat there you could hear the dogs in the neighborhood begin to bark - then everything got quite. A lone howl started, so I howled back. I do this rather well - I'd watch NatGeo and would mimic wolf cries. Anyway this went on for about five minutes, each time the howl from the other end got closer. Down the road are train tracks that run north to south. The sound seemed to come from that direction. I started to get spooked as the howling stopped. Our yard had bushes and a tree on the side where the sound came from. The hair on my arms and neck started to stand up so I felt like I should go in. As I stood I heard movement by the bushes, I glanced over and saw something move. I didn't wait to see what it was so I booked it into the house and I stood by the door which had glass panes in it. I watched as something very large and dark moved about the bushes. It moved away and I could no longer see it from my vantage point. I went to the front porch to look out the windows hoping to get a look at whatever was there but it never came out that way. So I went to bed and to read for awhile to calm down.
About less that an hour later my brother came home, he came to my room and as white as paper. He was shaking all over - his eyes the size of saucers. I asked him if he was okay? Now my brother is the sort that has an explanation for anything unusual, and he's a big guy, so for him to be in this state was not normal. He said I need you to come with me right now, I'll explain when we get in the truck. I was still dressed so I got up and went with him. When we got outside I asked what's going on. He told me there was something in the road by the tracks he needed to show me first. I was not happy about that as I just had my own experience with something from that way. As we got there it looked as if something had exploded all over the road. There was blood everywhere as if something was mowed down in that spot, but there was no body parts anywhere. My brother related then what he had seen coming down the road.
"I was coming home and as I got closer to the tracks, there was this huge thing lying in the road. I thought it must have been a Mastiff or Great Dane in the road, but as I pulled up to it it didn't look like a dog I'd ever seen. It was hairy, it's head and nose was twice the size of a dog - the body wasn't a dog, just dog-like, but much, much bigger. It was all over the place, there was an arm on the road! Not dog a human arm."
There was no trace of anything when we got there and it was only minutes that it took us to get there. I said to get the hell out of there now and we went back home. I told him what I experienced just before he got home. A couple of days later my sister came to me and said she has been seeing a large dog prowling around at night. It was huge and she had seen it across the street, as she sat on the porch. I told her what my brother and I saw and not to be outside alone until we could find out what it was. We got together and decided to stake out the yard over the next night, sure enough it was back in the neighbors yard. This thing was about the size of a Shetland pony, black in color. We had flashlights and turned them on it took off to the back wall behind the house. Their dog was going off like crazy, they had a small terrier. We watched this dog-thing scale the wall. The neighbor came out to see what was going on, and we shouted there was something in his yard. He went back in and grabbed his pistol and went around back, but by that time it was gone. M.

Hugh Marlowe as Dr. Russell A. Marvin and Joan Taylor as his wife Carol Marvin get buzzed by a flying saucer on a desolate Southern California desert highway in Columbia Pictures’ 1956 sci-fi classic, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers.  To see the exciting trailer, click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o4fd....

On Being a Contactee

As a contactee with our friendly neighborhood Venusians, I follow in the footsteps with many of the pioneering lights in the UFO community.  There is much that I have learned from such illuminated ones as Orfeo Angelucci, Albert Coe, Gabriel Green, Dana Howard, Gloria Lee, Howard Menger, Omnec Onec and many others.  But probably the most well-known of all the contactees, and the mentor to them all, and myself, was none other than the amateur astronomer from Valley Center, California, George Adamski (1891-1965).  While Adamski was not the first contactee to arrive on the scene in the previous century, he was certainly the most well-known due to the popularity of his three bestselling books about the planet Venus as the point of origin for the flying saucers which cruise our skies:  Flying Saucers Have Landed, co-authored by Desmond Leslie (New York, New York:  British Book Centre, 1953); Inside the Space Ships (New York, New York:  Abelard-Schuman, 1955) and Flying Saucers Farewell (New York, New York:  Abelard-Schuman, 1961).  

Desert Center Gains Notoriety

It took the landing of a spaceship from Venus to put the small town of Desert Center, California, on the map.  As with the rest of the United States in 1952, there were sightings galore of the flying saucers since 1947, and maybe a little before that; but as far as most people were concerned, none of these objects had ever landed with any of its occupants getting out of the craft and meeting a regular human being of Earth.  

Then, at 12:30 midday on 20 November 1952, a then 61-year-old amateur astronomer and metaphysical instructor, George Adamski, was visiting from Valley Center, California, with four friends packed in his car, where they encountered a landed flying saucer on the desert floor north of Blythe and Desert Center, California.  Adamski understood from the barrage of Southern California newspaper clippings he had read throughout 1952 about a massive flying saucer flap taking place in this area that he and his group’s best chance of actually getting close to a landed saucer would come about by being situated right at the spot they now found themselves.  Adamski expressed a feeling that extraterrestrials had guided him to this very location, albeit such a remote one.

Adamski was the only one in the group to approach the landed saucer, availing himself of the opportunity of speaking with its pilot, who self-identified telepathically with Adamski as a Venusian named Orthon.  According to Adamski, the extraterrestrial looked human, having straight blonde hair and being about 5’4” in height.  The Venusian was clad in a light tan jumpsuit and took on an androgynous appearance, having a slender figure and delicate fingers, as well as a lack of any discernible facial hair.  

Adamski’s four companions signed sworn affidavits that this meeting actually took place.  One of them was a prominent archaeologist from Prescott, Arizona, Dr. George Hunt Williamson, who made plaster of Paris impressions of Orthon’s footprints.  The true story of what happened to those plaster casts, and the result of their analysis by a Livermore Labs atomic scientist, are found in my most recent book, The Vast Venus Conspiracy (Terra Alta, West Virginia:  Headline Books, 2020).

“Out-of-This-World Saucer”

Adamski himself took a series of photographs of the Venusian “scout ship” with two of his special cameras he brought along on this excursion, a Hagler-Dresden Graflex and a Brownie, just in case they ran into a real flying saucer.  Pev Marley, the cameraman for Cecil B. DeMille’s movie classic, Greatest Show on Earth (Paramount Pictures, Hollywood, California, 1952), took the time to examine all of Adamski’s photographs taken of the scout ship on 20 November 1952, during a special closed-door meeting of the Air Force Reserve Officers held at an officer’s club in Los Angeles, California, on 1 June 1953.  Of the photographs, Marley informed the assembled officers that, “If the pictures were faked, they were the cleverest I have ever seen.”  The minutes of the Air Force Reserve Officers also records that, “The Air Force has agreed, unofficially, that these saucers come from out of this world.”

Saucer Sightings over the Colorado Desert

The Southern California towns of Blythe and Desert Center are located in the Colorado Desert, an area covering the eastern side of Riverside County.  Blythe is about 4 miles west of the Arizona-California state line.  Back in 1955, what is now Interstate 10 was known as U.S. Route 60-70; and if one were to continue due west along that route for a distance of 48 miles, they would find themselves in the small community of Desert Center, where Adamski and his contingent encountered the landed Venusian scout ship and its pilot Orthon.  

In 1955, Blythe had a population of approximately 4,100.  Being the hub of the agriculturally-rich Palo Verde Valley, from the air Blythe appears as a vast green-and-white checkerboard of alfalfa and cotton, hugging the Colorado River in the southeast corner of California.  The town is encircled by 30 square miles of windswept dune and rugged mountain country, an extension of the Colorado Desert, the 17th largest desert area on Earth.  The village of Blythe began one hundred years ago, in 1920, after a consortium of Arizona farmers spent $40 million in diverting the unpredictable waters of the Colorado River, thereby transforming the barren wasteland on the California side into a second “Valley of the Nile.”  Blythe’s Main Street in 1955 consisted of a conglomeration of tourist courts, used-car lots and mercantile establishments.  However, there were quiet and shady side streets that stretched out toward the lush, green farms and open cattle range to the west.  

Investigative journalist Paul C. Benard, who wrote an article about the growing popularity of Blythe and Desert Center as UFO hot spots, “Who Believes in Flying Saucers?” in the July 1955 issue of Bluebook magazine (New York City, New York), provided a rundown on unusual UFO sightings by residents of these two desert communities that took place prior to Adamski’s contact with the Venusian.  The journalist began by visiting science classes at Blythe High School, where he conducted a survey among the students, soliciting their opinions about flying saucers.  What he discovered was that since 1951 to 1955, 123 of the students had actually testified to seeing the flying saucers over Blythe.  And among the student body at large, there was a near-unanimous opinion that the flying saucers were real, physical objects that came from outer space.  

Truck Buzzed by Flying Saucer

Frank Hines was a mechanic at the Desert Center Garage when, on the night of 14 June 1952, he claims that he was buzzed by a flying saucer as he was driving a tow truck along Highway 60-70.  Apparently, he was spotted by the occupants of a flying saucer, who directed their ship at him, swooping down from the sky and hovering over his truck for the space of about two miles, before the saucer just flew off.  

Civil Air Patrol Spotters Befuddled

In mid-July 1952, Tom Jewel, a Civil Air Patrol (CAP) spotter stationed at Blythe, reported four flying saucer sightings throughout a ten-day period.  In every instance, there was a flying saucer that rose up in a straight line from behind a nearby mountain range.  The object would then turn in a sharp, right-angle and fly across the sky at an estimated speed of 900 miles per hour.  Then it would just disappear over Arizona skies off in the eastern horizon.

Within the same ten-day period, another CAP spotter, Frank Draper, also out of Blythe, reported three similar flying saucer sightings.

On the Trail of the Flying Saucers

Our intrepid reporter Paul C. Benard was hot on the trail of the flying saucers.  For three weeks in the spring of 1955, he spoke with people from “all walks of life” in the “Flying Saucer Country” of the Colorado Desert and particularly in its two prominent towns of Blythe and Desert Center.  He wanted to know everything that the townies of Blythe and Desert Center could recollect and tell him about George Adamski, the interest of the Air Force in their sightings of fireballs and flying saucers, and anything else the residents might have to say about Nordic-looking Venusians wearing tan jumpsuits or arrayed in metallic gear and poking around in the desert. 

“I talked to scrawny cowboys in skin-tight Levis and wealthy ranchers in overgrown Stetsons,” said Benard, adding that, “I talked to Mexican and African-American farmhands, desert rats and high school kids.”  As to his time in Blythe, the larger of the two towns, the journalist noted that, “I talked to the mayor, the chief of police, the newspaper editor and the manager of the radio station.  I talked to the high school principal, the superintendent of schools and the Chamber of Commerce.”  But most importantly, Benard emphasized that, “Everyone talked right back.”

An experiencer recalls a series of bizarre encounters while visiting Navarre Beach, Florida with other families in 1977. Was this a MIB encounter, followed by an abduction? 

The following account was forwarded to me. I believe it may have originally been a submitted report:

"During my spring break of 1977 my family and three other families, from the neighborhood I grew up in, traveled to a Holiday Inn in Navarre Beach, Florida. My mother had told me it was a newly opened hotel. It had an indoor pool, arcade, gift shop, deli, and small movie theatre. For its day it was considered to be a very nice place and my family went to this hotel three times. During our second visit in August of 1977 the movie 'Jaws II' was being filmed at Navarre and I even got to see the mechanical 'Jaws' stored with other movie equipment and props in the eastern portion of the hotel parking lot.

During this spring break vacation, around late March of 1977, there was a special showing of the film 'Bugsy Malone' where only children were permitted to attend. It was during the film that I started to feel a bit disoriented. I heard some other children crying and I heard the sound of someone throwing up. At one point in the film I got up from my chair to leave, but I was quickly escorted back to my chair by an usher in a black suit and black hat. I saw one or maybe two more men in black suits at the back of the theatre. After the film was over I felt just fine and I never did complain to anyone about that experience.

One evening on this vacation I awoke and sat up in my bed. I looked across the room and could see a group of small figures in the dimly lit room. My brother was asleep to my right and my parents were asleep in the bed to my left. The feeling I felt was something I had felt before, which I immediately recognized. It was a feeling I only have felt when the Greys were near. I thought it's been a while. And to a young boy, it had been over 2 years since his last encounter with the Greys. So it had felt like a long time. But then I could not move and one of the figures moved towards me very fast and the last thing I recalled were its big black eyes very close to my face and a wand like object being pointed at me. Then there was blackness.

The next thing I recall was being in the sand dunes away from the hotel in a circle of children. I must have been one of the youngest because I was the shortest. But my attention was more on the blue object directly over us that had a glowing blue light all about it. The closest thing I've seen to this shade of blue would be that of the blue glow of radiation that I've only seen from photos. Then there was blackness.

The next morning was a Saturday, and I was watching cartoons. It was not until I was watching TV that I then recalled that previous night's experience with the Greys, seeing the blue glowing sphere above me and the other children. I then told one of the other children, that were traveling with us on this trip, about my experience that night and she did not believe me. I also recall walking around the hotel later that day and then getting up the nerve to tell my older brother who also teased me." Name Withheld

Feathered 'Reptile Bird' Seen in Los Angeles, CA Sky

The witness states that her and her boyfriend observed several strange anomalies in the Los Angeles sky, including a pterosaur-like creature with feathers.

Los Angeles, CaliforniaJanuary 10, 20149 PM Local Time:
I was at my boyfriend's apartment. We were leaving his apartment and walked to my parked car that was in the alley next to his building. We were sitting in the car listening to music and talking with the sun roof open. So then we started to look up at the stars and we both seen about 10 or so black flying helicopters or something flying in a V-shape pattern. The black flying objects kind of looked like birds. They were small but they were moving too fast. So then the black objects flew off into the distance.
So we both got out off of the car to get a better look at the sky and that is when I saw a reptile-bird like creature with feathers and wings. And I knew that is was a bird because I could see the wings flapping like a bird and the feathers were blowing in the wind. The creature was like a pterodactyl because it was huge and it look like a mix of reptile and a bird. I only saw the creature for less then a minute and it flew off behind the apartment building.
The weird thing about this sighting is that I also saw another flying object at the same location. But it was about a year earlier. I seen the other flying object in the same way around the same time in the car in the alley next to the New Carver Apartments in downtown Los Angeles. This flying object was different from the black objects and the bird-like creature. It was brown moving in a waving motion or moving like a snake in the sky. It was also like a hover craft because it looked like it was floating in the sky.
Once my boyfriend and I saw this object it shape-shifted into the color of the sky. And we both could feel the energy of the flying object. It was almost like the flying object knew we were looking at it. But we could still see it in its cloud form. After less that a minute of looking at it somehow we lost sight of it. - MUFON
