Sasquatch Encountered at Powell River, BC
Brittany from British Columbia called to tell of her Bigfoot sighting:
“There are a lot of really strange things happening in B.C. here. I had a really weird experience in the summer-time so I thought I would share it with you. Well basically my wife, we moved into an area of Powell River here, which, there's a lot of dense forest... there's about 50 acres of forest right behind our house and there's lots of bears and wildlife. So we went for a walk in the forest and I've been studying Sasquatch for some years and I was really a big fan of Lloyd Pye's work and I always believed in the Sasquatch but I never thought I'd actually have an encounter with one especially right behind my house but it happened and it kind of blew my mind and scared the living sh*t out of me. (Church asks where in B.C.) Powell River. It's quite isolated up here.
So we were walking in the forest. I basically saw something that a lot of Sasquatch researchers find, like a marker that a lot of Sasquatch apparently create. They basically... they take large trees and make a teepee formation out of it. So we're walking along the path and we saw this teepee formation and it was made out of these huge trees like no human being could have done it. It was pretty big and there's no like logging or anything going down on this forest, like, it's very dense woods. No one goes down there. And so when I saw that I knew right away what that was. I was like, 'Okay,' I'm like, 'Maybe we should turn back it doesn't really feel right.' And then we look and the whole pathway is completely blocked off by this giant tree, like, there's just no way of getting through. So my wife and my friend were just standing there and then I heard this rustling in the bushes right in front of me, like three feet away from me. I kind of stood there thinking that might have been a cougar or a bear because we get tons of those here. I can't believe it... a Sasquatch creature stood up right in front of me and he must have been about 8 or 9 feet tall and he was not a dark brown but more of a lighter amber-coloured Sasquatch and he just looked right at me and I booked it. I was two months pregnant with our daughter so I guess instinctively I just I wanted to get the heck out of there but we went back through there and the whole teepee formation had been taken down. The pathway was still blocked and, yeah, no one really goes in there.”

Giant Ground Sloth in San Jose?
I recently received the following account:
About 9 years ago I came face to face with a giant animal in San Jose, California. I've only shared my story with close friends. I was cat sitting at my boyfriend's aunt's house. He was in the bathroom. I walked into the living room which has a sliding glass door that leads to the backyard. It was dark out I don't recall the time. I looked over and saw an animal about 6-7 feet tall. It had two eyes, on its hind legs with an arched back, it had long claws on it's paws. It's hind legs were short. It was a few inches away from the glass just looking in at me. I screamed! It turned around slowly got down on all fours and left. I ran to my boyfriend I told him.
To be honest at the time I thought I had seen some giant monster raccoon. My aunt had a ton of raccoons in her backyard we had just seen one by the door. She would feed the stray cats. She had a big kitty litter bucket full of kibble right outside the door. The raccoons would actually pull the lid off the bucket and eat away. The animal I saw was standing right by the kibble in the same place we would see the raccoons. She doesn't do that anymore. I never told her what I saw most likely she would think I was crazy. She has a fenced backyard but it was in rough shape the portion by the front yard was knocked down. So I had told a few close friends and they believed me. I think I did Google back then just to find nothing I let it go as just a big raccoon.
I don't know why but the past few months it has been bothering me. Wondering what was that, what happened that night. I have never heard the term cryptid, never believed in bigfoot or anything like that. I started searching online to explain this. The closest thing I could find online that was close to what I saw was a description of a giant ground sloth. Was this what I saw it actually made a lot of sense to me. I have not heard of anyone else seeing this around here. I would greatly appreciate it if you have heard any story's like mine to let me know. Thanks! MK
NOTE: there have been reports of Mapinguary - Does The Giant Ground Sloth Still Live?

More Cases of Possible Permanent Alien Abduction
The following accounts were forwarded to me by humanoid researcher and author Albert S. Rosales:
Location: Burragorang Valley, New South Wales, Australia
Date: early 1953
Time: daytime
One camper, who happened to penetrate that valley was surprised to come across a large “saucer nest” in a forest clearing. Yet the most startling incident occurred when a lone camper, Brian Dogherty, while camped under the stars one night, saw a large, dark “saucer-shaped” craft moving over the surrounding tree tops. As he got to his feet he heard a loud “crunching” sound as the craft landed in a nearby patch of gum forest above the gully he was camped in. It was a long time before he got back to sleep and by the time he awoke and went in search of the landing site of the mystery craft, it had lifted off and flown elsewhere. All that Brian found was an area of trees and shrubbery that had been broken and flattened.
That same year a hiker, Peter Suttor, happened to penetrate an area beneath the cliffs on the south side of the valley one day, which it turned out, was in the vicinity of two “saucer nests” discovered earlier by campers. From the protection of shrubbery he saw at a distance, several man-sized forms clothed in what he later described as “spacesuits”. The mysterious beings appeared to be searching the ground with strange metal devices, apparently collecting soil and rock samples.
It was not long before Peter told of his strange encounter to friends, including a UFO group at Fairfield. In turn, the incident was related by a member of the group to a friend in the Liverpool Army Camp. This soldier, and two others from Ingleburn, while on leave, decided that they would go on a camping trip to investigate the area of Peter Suttor’s strange sighting. Setting off from Warragamba Township, they attempted to follow the approximate route taken by Peter. It is believed that they penetrated several kilometers inland to the approximate area where the strange figures had been seen. However, it was beyond a certain point that all trace of them was lost. Despite searchers efforts, like the earlier servicemen two years before, all trace of these soldiers was lost. Furthermore, all further mention of their disappearance was soon lost in the official wall of silence that descended on the whole matter.

Location: Los Angeles, California
Date: February 12 1953
Time: sundown
At sundown witnesses told police that they had watched an automobile enter the throat of a storm drain near Willowbrook and Greenleaf Avenues. Officers arrived on the scene within ten minutes, and according to the Los Angeles Herald and Express, they followed the fresh tire-tread marks into the tunnel for seven miles. Other policemen and flood control district workers continued the search for the automobile by dropping through manhole covers. The track-down continued until midnight when, seven miles up the storm drain, the tracks vanished.
“Herald Express newsmen who had accompanied the police on the incredible search up the tube were witnesses to the fact that: “In the muddy silt covering the floor of the drain, the tire tread marks were sharp and fresh. Then no more tracks.

Location: Near Gardena, California
Date: November 11, 1953
Time: afternoon
Wilbur J. Wilkinson held a responsible position with the Hoffman Radio Corporation in Los Angeles and according to his wife, “had tape recordings of conversations with men from other planets who landed here in saucers.” The den in his home was lined with UFO photographs and weird symbols and formulations, supposedly passed along by little men from the planet Maser who were preparing to invade Earth. Wilkinson’s partner, Karl Hunrath, claimed to have information about landed saucers and talked his friend into renting an airplane so they could try to find it. They took off from the Gardena California, airport with a three hour supply of gasoline. That was the last anyone saw of them. A widespread search failed to turn up either the plane or the two men.

Location: Soo Locks, Michigan
Date: November 23 1953
Time: late evening
A wintry darkness had settled over Michigan. At an isolated radar station Air Defense operators were watching their scope in a routine guard against possible enemy attack. Suddenly the “blip” of an unknown machine appeared on the glass screen. The Ground Control Intercept officer took a quick look. The unknown was flying over the Soo Locks---and no aircraft was scheduled near that important target. Whatever it was, it had to be identified swiftly. In less than two minutes an F-89 from Kinross Field was streaking toward the locks. At the jet’s controls was Lieutenant Felix Moncla, Jr., a veteran at 26. Behind him was Lieutenant R. R. Wilson, 2-year old Oklahoman, acting as radar observer. Guided by Ground Control, Moncla climbed steeply toward the “unknown”. Back at Ground Control the controller watched the jet’s blip on his glowing radarscope. As it moved toward the UFO blip, the strange craft changed course. The controller called Moncla gave him the new bearing. From the scope he saw that the F-89 was now over Sault Sainte Marie, though to the crew the city’s lights would be only a blur, quickly lost behind. The UFO, flying as fast as a jet airliner, was heading toward Lake Superior. At over 500 miles per hour the F-89 raced after it, out across Whitefish Bay. Nine more minutes ticked by in the tense quiet of the Ground Control radar room. Gradually the F-89 cut down the gap. By now, the controller knew, Wilson should have spotted their quarry on the fighter’s short range radar. Watching the chase, he cut in his microphone and called the flight’s code name. “Target should be visual. Still bearing---“
He broke off, staring at the scope. The two blips had suddenly merged into one. Whether the strange machine had abruptly slowed or Moncla unaccountably had put on full power, no one in the room could tell. But one thing seemed grimly certain; the two machines were locked together, as if in a smashing collision. For a moment longer the huge, ominous blip remained on the glass. Then it quickly went off the scope. Marking the position, the controller flashed word to Search and Rescue. Moncla and Wilson might have bailed out in time. Both had life jackets and self-inflating rafts; even in the icy water they might survive for a little while. The mystery craft and the F-89 had come together far off-shore, about 100 miles from Sault Sainte Marie and 70 miles from Keweenaw Point. As quickly as possible, search planes with flares were roaring over Lake Superior. After a fruitless night search, boats joined the hunt as American and Canadian flyers crisscrossed a hundred mile area. But no trace was ever found of the missing me, the F-89 or the unknown machine.

'Mantis Man' Encountered Near Thames River, Connecticut
I recently received the following account:
I just watched a show called 'Monsters and Mysteries in America on the Travel Channel and the last part was about a brown mantis man near a river in NJ (NOTE: The Musconetcong River 'Mantis Man' episode based on my investigations). I actually saw one of these a while back in 2011 in southeastern Connecticut right near the Thames River.
I was driving home from work (Mohegan Sun Casino) and it was after midnight. I saw a small 1 1/2 to 2 foot tall Praying Mantis humanoid running on the side of Pequot Avenue in New London, CT. The avenue runs alongside the Thames River and I was driving southbound on Pequot when I saw it on the side of the road directly on my left. It was a mahogany brown color and it looked exactly like the CGI version on the show. I stopped my car and watched it and it was looking right at me the whole while as it ran towards a storm drain. It never took its eyes off me then it jumped down the storm drain.
When I got home I told my boyfriend at that time about it and we both laughed it off. I chalked it up to being over tired and seeing things because I was so exhausted. But now I know I wasn’t 'seeing things!' It’s disturbing to realize this could’ve been real! DG
NOTE: I called and talked to the witness, who verified the information. Lon

'Skunk Apes' Observed Near Myakka River
I received the following account on Thursday, March 21, 2019. I was able to contact the witness by telephone:
Hello - last night around 11:15 pm (Wednesday, March 20) I was driving towards Sarasota, Florida northbound on State Road 72. I had just crossed the Myakka River bridge. It was clear with a light haze, with very good visibility.
Ahead of me, approximately 100 feet or so, I witnessed 3 hair-covered creatures run across the highway. They were between 5-6 foot in height each, but there could have been a smaller one on the back of one of the larger creatures. All were running on 2 legs, just like humans but kind of crouched. The creature at the back of the group looked in my direction and its eyes shined back like that of a cat. The shine was reddish in color. The hair was long all over their bodies and dark orange in color.
I have lived in the Sarasota area all my life and have heard about Skunk Apes and Bigfoot. I suppose that these creatures were those, but they reminded me of Orangutan at first glance. They crossed the road in about 5 seconds, but I got an excellent view. Thanks. KL
I called KL and received a bit more information on her sighting:
The witness states that her father believes he had seen a Skunk Ape in the same general area in the mid-1990s while fishing in the Myakka River. She said that she never really gave the phenomena much credence, but she now believes that they do exist. She said that it looked like the lead creature was carrying something on its right shoulder and back, but could not make out what it was exactly. The witness remarked how thick and long the hair was on the creatures, especially around the upper body and legs. She included a Google Map screenshot of the roadway where she had the encounter, about 1000 feet north of the bridge. They crossed the road from right to left. Lon

'Horned' Man Shapeshifts Into Large Dog
I recently found the following account:
I had the strangest experience a few weeks back at my local 7-11 early in the morning. My fiancé and I are both in our car headed to 7-11 to get the usual prerequisites that the morning requires...caffeine, donut, etc.
We pull into the parking lot and park in the front of the store. We are about to get out when we look to the car next to us. The driver is normal enough, your average looking twenty something Caucasian female but sitting next to her was something quite odd. It was a male, caucasian, glasses...looking for the most part like everyone else. Except for one major difference. He had short goat like horns coming out of his head. They were grey and fat at the base and got thinner as they got farther from the base. It looked like a baby goat's maybe, just nubs but still obviously horn-like protrusions.
We quickly turn our heads to verify with each other if we saw the same thing. A moment later and instead of a horned man sitting there I see a large collie dog mix. The woman driving, mind you, seems oblivious to all this and is doing her makeup in her visor mirror.
Baffled we simply pull back out, go home and take the day off of work. We spent the day napping and in between naps tried to figure out what we had seen.
Either way it was nuts, in the middle of Kansas City. Busy parking lot and we see this very odd thing that everyone around us is obviously unable to pick up on. - GH

Strange Summer Day
“Hey, I have a very strange story I’m finally ready to share. This happened in a little town called Conway in South Carolina. It was the summer of 2009. I remember waking up late, around 11 or so. I decided to go outside shortly after to see if I could find some of my friends to hangout. When I stepped outside the first thing I noticed was it was really nice outside. Like way too nice of a day for it being summer time where its normally extremely hot and humid. There was a nice breeze and I remember thinking about how I wish everyday could be like this, how it is now.
I got to walking and I noticed no one is home. Hardly any cars were in any of the driveways. No one was outside. I never saw a car came into or exit my neighborhood while I was walking. It just seemed I was the only person there. Everyone was gone. I went to my friend's house and knocked on the door. No car in the driveway. No answer. Which is very odd because he's always home. I started walking back home. I was getting scared. I haven’t seen or heard anyone or anything. Not even a bird fly by or a dog bark. There was no sounds besides the wind going through the trees. I began to have thoughts like, 'Am I the only one left? What happened while I was sleeping?'
The whole walk back home there was nothing. I saw no one's dogs outside. I saw no birds or cats. No cars. No people. And it was so quiet. The only sound was the wind in the trees. Nothing else. I got back home went inside and turned on the news. Maybe there I could get some answers. But the news was just talking about everyday things. I just hung out in the house until my dad came home around 3 pm. I asked him what happened? Where is everyone? He had no idea what I was talking about. I went back outside and everything had returned to normal. Cars were back. I could hear birds and dogs bark. People were out walking around outside. until this day I have no idea what I experienced that summer day. The only thing I could think of is either I was ahead or somehow behind time. Like in that Stephen King book 'The Langoliers.'" - Omega Soup

Bizarre Creature Encounter in Adams County, Pennsylvania
I recently received the following account:
Hello Lon. I've been a fan of yours for years. I used to be on a paranormal team called Dead of Night Paranormal Investigations, my specialty was cryptozoology. I'm on my own now as spirits don't really interest me and it just didn't workout with that team.
My god-daughter who is 18 saw something last year that I can't get off of my mind. She and her best friend were in a neighborhood in New Oxford, Pennsylvania. They were in a car just talking. My god-daughter looks up and sees what she thought was a dog sitting near an electrical box. She didn't see a lot of details. She says it was black. All black. She could see black eyes that she noticed because of street lights. Then, she says it noticed her looking at it and it "expanded." I asked her to elaborate. She said it grew twice its size and started running at the car. Both girls saw this, screamed and hauled out of there. My god-daughter said it ran beside the car for a bit then disappeared. She felt sick as well after it was over.
What's even odder is the fact now her and her best friends relationship is on the outside and her best friend is moving away soon. All I can think is 'Hellhound' warning of this. Except it had no red eyes and no other features that she could make out other than it was built kind of like a great dane. I have drawn a picture of it and she said it's dead on accurate and scares her. Just wanted your opinion. I have attached sketches! Thanks! SK
NOTE: New Oxford, PA is just a few miles north of me here in Adams County (McSherrystown, PA); very close to my sighting of the Conewago Phantom in 1988. If I get a follow-up, I'll share it. Lon

The Tuxedo Man
“After hearing these stories I'm wondering if I made a mistake identifying an entity my daughter saw. We had moved to a new rural area, our house was out in the woods, nearby was walking trails. Having walked nature trails deep in the woods in our hometown, my daughter (6 yo at the time) and I were well acquainted with the woods. As we began the hike, my daughter started freaking out and trying to grab my camera to take a picture of "monster" she said was further down the trail. I let her take a few pictures (one came out normally, one was completely black, but I don't know if she had covered the lense with a hand or hit the button before taking the cover off) Having had experiences like this before, I quickly got her back to the car. On the way home, I asked her about what she had seen. She described a man in a tall hat, dressed all in black with black shiny shoes and a black cape. I asked her if had any other colors on, she placed her hand on her chest and said it was white right there. She didn't point directly to her throat but to her chest in general. She also said he was from the empire and lived in the classrooms, that he spoke like my uncle (he is from Scotland) and hated children. How all of this was communicated to her in the few moments we we're on the trail is still beyond me. I assumed the white was a priest's collar due to the proximity of an old mental asylum that was at one time a school ran by nuns and priests after the asylum closed. I didn't see anything, she wasn't the type to make these things up. I had told her several times that just because I couldn't see something didn't mean it was there. That was very important that she not make up stories because if there was something there I had to know so I could protect her. Again, we had experienced situations where she would see things her father and I couldn't. We have both explained several times how important it was she not make anything up. Also, she wasn't familiar with the vocabulary she used, she had asked me what few of the words said to her meant. I had explained what I could in the context she told them to me.” - ParaMomal
----------
“When I was about 7 years old, my sister woke me up, saying that a man in a Tuxedo and Top Hat walked out of the closet stood there and fell face first on the floor. She turned the light on and looked over the bed, but of course there was nothing there. I always believed she must've been dreaming or made it up until I watched some of these videos on the Hat man and the Tuxedo man. I sent her a link to this video. She said that is exactly what she saw.” - J Coltrane

Alien in the Craft Window
“Years ago, in 1972 my older sister got a call about something strange hovering over a mountain in the city were we lived. Her and I walked down the street, in the afternoon, and we could see it (though I was only 8 years old and remember seeing a disk like object that wasn’t huge, like I’ve heard about in recent stories). I was at my sister's father in-law’s house later that evening, and when it got dark I looked out the window and saw a flying object zip from one side of the sky to another part in what would have been a second...the same craft that was above the mountain earlier that day. I remember a window in the craft, and seeing someone in it, who I perceived to be a child. I observed the craft off and on for maybe 10 minutes. I don’t know exactly what I saw, and it must have been pretty far up in the sky because I don’t remember a particular shape of the object, but oddly I remember seeing someone at a window in the object. Interesting memory.” - Isabella A R

Cases of Possible Permanent Alien Abduction
The following accounts were forwarded to me by humanoid researcher and author Albert S. Rosales:
Location: Near Cao Bang, North Vietnam (at the time)
Date: August 12-13, 1968
Time: night
A group of Soviet engineers working in this isolated region in the hope of building a hydroelectric power plant suddenly heard a rumble of engines overhead and thinking that it was American B-52 bombers they all ran out of their tents but were surprised to see a black angular diamond shaped object approximately twice the size of the moon and which emitted a greenish-blue light. Moments later a fiery comet shaped object emerging somewhere on the earth struck the diamond shaped object, immediately there was a bright flash which blinded everyone, and then a powerful shock wave knocked the Russian hydrologists down and tore their tents apart, sweeping away their equipment, fortunately no one was seriously hurt, but the explosion produced deep concern amongst those present. They even thought that a small nuclear device had exploded. During several hours neither the radio or other communications equipment worked, producing only severe static. Only in the morning it was possible to contact their central base and report the incident. The scientists promised a full report of the events and visited the closest village where strangely there was no sign of destruction or explosion, the inhabitants only thought that they had heard a very “loud thunderstorm”. After about 2 days the scientists found at about 1km from their base camp a black half sphere shaped object about 3 meters in diameter. The surface of the sphere was completely black; it seemed that light did not reflect from its surface. Moreover the sphere did not cast a shadow; the rays of the low evening sun seemed to go around the strange object, falling on the high grass around it. By touch the sphere seemed cool and a bit slippery, as if doused with soapy water. One of the men attempted to scratch the surface of the sphere with a sharp knife to no avail. They then notified their central base about their enigmatic finding. Soon after the group received instructions from their main base, to set up a protective perimeter around the object and guard it until a “special group” arrived at the site. They were strictly warned not to approach within 20 meters of the sphere, thus the entire group of five men camped at exactly 20 meters from the sphere. They had no idea what the sphere could be and guessed it was some kind of new weaponry either of Soviet or American origin. After building a small bonfire the men began to rest. The men stared at the bizarre object with bizarre fascination and fear.
One of the specialists, Boris Ivanov wrote in his dairy that the men rested uneasy staring at the object in the light of their bonfire with their carbines ready just in case of any problems, waiting for the Special Forces group to eventually show up and take control of the situation. Soon one of the men, Viacheslav G, rose and went into the brushwood; the rest barely noticed and thought that it must be a prosaic reason for his outing. When in five minutes he did not return, the men began to nervously call out his name, but he did not return. Searching the area with flashlights in the direction of the sphere the men could not find Viacheslav. Concerned and afraid the rest of the men decided not to look any further and returned to the bonfire. After about an hour another man, Peter K, silently rose and also went into the brushwood exactly in the same direction that Viacheslav had taken. He seemed to move uncomfortably, rocking back and forth, apparently very drowsy. A kind of anxiety suddenly enveloped the rest of the men and they remained sitting by the bonfire, unable to intervene. Peter K never returned. This time the remaining men did not search for Peter, but simply sat and waited. A feeling of predestination filled the men. After two more hours to the sphere went Vladimir M., it was obvious that he could not resist whatever force beckoned him, he also never came back. Now only two men remained, Boris and Sergey T. both torpid with fear and refusing to move from their position. But suddenly Sergey’s face became distorted; he arose like a weak-willed marionette and meandered away into the dark, in the direction of the strange sphere. Moments later Boris found himself able to move again, terrified he grabbed his carbine and shot himself on the leg in an attempt to disable himself so he wouldn’t walk away to an uncertain faith. As a result of the pain, he passed out. This action possibly saved Boris. He woke up in the morning when the specialists arrived. They found him half-conscious by the now extinguished bonfire, having lost a lot of blood but still alive, by this time the sphere had disappeared along with his comrades. He was soon evacuated from the area, but not before Boris convinced himself that he and his friends had encounter some type of extraterrestrial probe which had somehow taken his friends with it to places unknown.

Location: Near Latacunga, Ecuador
Date: September 3, 1966
Time: sunset
Manuel Pereira, 15 and Jose Sotuyo, 14 were walking along a path high in the mountains when they saw strange lights maneuvering in the sky. Manuel frantically signaled the UFO with his flashlight, using International Morse Code he sent the following message:
“Friend, please land.” He repeated this message several times. A few seconds later they heard a faint whirring sound and the UFO descended to within a few feet from where the boys were standing. The craft settled just above the ground and three long tripod-like supports telescoped downward. The glowing of the UFO dimmed until it was a dull white light, and then a ramp opened and lowered to the ground. Then three tiny man-like figures emerged from the craft and began to walk stiffly down the ramp. The frightened boys were tempted to run but remained there. Just then they heard a loud voice that sounded strangely metallic speak: “Do not fear us. Stay and talk.” Manuel and Jose, speechless, nodded. They stared in utter astonishment as the three little men in their suits of shiny brass-like material came toward them. A voice that seemed to come from all directions at once, asked them: “What are you?” The boys asked the little men where they were from but the question was ignored. For nearly an hour the questioning continued. The boys answered whatever the voice asked but whenever they asked a question they got no reply. Finally the voice inquired, “Would you like to come aboard our space craft?” Both boys agreed to go inside. The little men in their gleaming brass-colored uniforms and pear shaped helmets led the way up the ramp. They kept turning around as if looking to see if the boys were following. Their features in the helmets were obscured because of a cloudy vapor, which they seemed to be breathing so the boys had no idea what they really looked like. When they entered the craft they were surprised at the roominess of the interior. All around the craft were hexagon shaped sections like small cubicles. Tiny lights and buttons were to be seen on a console panel in the exact center. They saw no other little beings, although they had a strong feeling that other eyes were closely observing them. The little men asked the boys if they would like to go with them, and added that they would not be harmed. But the boys replied that their parents would be worried. After several more questions by the little men, the craft began to make a loud humming sound and the voice announced that it was time to leave, that perhaps they would visit them again. Manuel asked for a souvenir from them to prove their encounter. There was a peculiar high pitched humming noise and one of the little men came forward and held a small cylinder in his hand. They were told to take it as a token, that it was a small hand held light, that whenever they wished for the light to come on, they merely had to squeeze it. The little men demonstrated. There was a brilliant light form the lens. Manuel removed its own flashlight and gave it to the little men, as an exchange. Several minutes later on the ground the boys watched the saucer-shaped object rise up noiselessly and vanish in a wink. Just as the boys began to hurry toward their homes several helicopters swooped down from the night skies overhead, playing searchlights over the area. At the same time three Army jeeps came down the path at breakneck speed. They were interrogated numerous times by the military personnel and their strange flashlight device was examined and then taken away. Manuel Pereira and Jose Sotuyo vanished from their homes about a week before Christmas 1966, and were never seen nor heard from again.

Location: Paris, Illinois
Date: March 9, 1955
Time: 17:50
On this date Eugene Metcalfe was watching a jet plane flying toward him when, all at once and without warning, this strange craft came swooping in behind the plane and “scooped” it out of the sky right before his eyes. This craft had an opening or door in his line of vision and next to the plane. After it had abducted the plane it stood still and the opening closed. Then it went in an up and down motion for about 30 seconds, then quickly disappeared. While it was churning up and down Metcalfe could see vapor or smoke coming from what looked like round portholes or windows on the bottom of this craft. This happened at approximately 5:50 p.m.
This craft was shaped like the top of an ordinary call bell and was large enough to carry several planes the size of the one it had captured. This all took place, (you might say) in Metcalfe’s own backyard and was so close he could plainly see both craft and plane. The plane was a light jet bomber and was reported missing during a news broadcast in the St. Louis area. This plane was not found or accounted for. Sometime later, an identical craft followed three jet planes but did not molest them.
According to Metcalfe these strange aircraft are, without a doubt, the fastest things he have ever seen. It traveled in a few seconds, the same distance which took the jet planes minutes to travel. According to Metcalfe for the last three years, possibly longer, he has witnessed a very strange airborne craft in the sky in the vicinity of Paris, Illinois. This strange object would just hang in the southwestern sky, and after a short stay it would speed off and disappear.

Hoovering orange blue and orange lights on craft over rural PA - entities seen and photographed
On the of evening 28th of January, 2019, just past midnight, I experienced/witnessed sights and sounds I fail to find a logical explanation for. I live in rural PA and at night it is pitch black dark outside of my house and there has always been odd flashing lights in the woods. I chalked them up to deer tracking devices of some sort which I was able to catch on camera. This night I was sleeping on the couch and I heard what sounded like a vacuum of air being sucked out of the room and some sort of train whistle as well as whistling noises. I went to my back deck and snapped a few pics and in one there is an odd blue gauge of some sort and a circular craft with orange lights hoovering over the trees. My brain was still not processing what I was witnessing – it just seemed suspended in air with no sound then shot right up out of sight.
I went inside and ran into my room and snapped some more pics from outside of my south facing window. I caught what looks like to hairless figures staring right into my window – I did NOT see them in real time and after that I don’t recall much to be honest- I only have what is on my cameras and my hand held device. I know this sounds absolutely absurd but I am a rather logical professional/corporate college grad with advanced degrees and I have no explanation for what I see and hear on these videos. I use the BLINK security system so my home surveillance is directly linked/alerts to motion on my cell phone which is how I am assuming I was able to record this. I have gone through 4 laptops in 18 months. They just totally shut down- this morning I checked my amazon photos account which tracks everything and there are photos and videos on there I did not take or I don’t recall taking. Odd photos and videos seem to start on January 4th, 2019.
This area has had other strange activity, including a winged being:

Winged Being and UFO Sighting in PA (unedited)
“When I was younger my mom, my 2 brothers and myself where walking in the woods. My mom would sometimes take us for walks. We saw what appeared to be a very old man in a black cloak standing next to a green ground electric boxes they are like 4ft by 4ft square.
When we got near him it turned, looked at us then took off vertically into the sky and then the black cloak appeared as black wings.
Its description is 7 ft tall pale skin and human-like with a very old looking face and with black wings that looked like what one would think as a fallen angel. My mom looked up in the sky and there was a triangle craft with 3 lights hovering for about a minute. It then took off and we never saw the being or the UFO again.”
NOTE: Lansdale, PA is approximately 30 miles north of Philadelphia in Montgomery County. This is an area known for UFO activity in recent years. The black-cloaked being description is similar to that of the Conewago Phantom and several other flying humanoids, including Mothman. Lansdale was also once home to one of the world's three "H Trees," which are believed to mark portals to Hell. An individual had only to circle the trees a certain number of times and jump off a small cliff, on the ledge of which the trees grew. Upon doing so, the portal would open and transport the individual to Hell.
