Location: Francis E Warren Air Force Base, Cheyenne Wyoming

Urban or Rural: – Air Force Base

No. of Entity(‘s):  Multiple

Entity Type:  Various

Entity Description:  about 6-7 ft tall staring at him. The being had a medium built as far as the chest, hip, and upper legs. But the head was quite larger than normal, and it had long arms. It appeared to be wearing a wet suit for skin diving. The head covering and bodysuit were as one. The eyes were covered with what appeared to be a one-piece lens that went across both eyes as if it was a type of blast shield, but the nasal area joined in with it. From the nasal area was a silver-gray tube that stretched at least one half feet long and went directly into its chest area. The silver-gray tube was ribbed and looked just like a tracheal tube. The hands consisted of three long fingers that ended in claws. The feet were three-toed and did not appear to have any heels.

Summary/Description: John R Renz had just been relieved from guard duty at Francis E Warren Air Force base and had stopped at the mess hall for a beer. On his way back to the barracks he came upon an unlit area of the base at the concrete reinforced bridge, which crossed over Cow Creek. For some unknown reason, everything was deathly quiet around him. As he began to cross the bridge and just before he got to the middle of it a paralyzing sound resembling loud heartbeats became evident. At the same time, the area around the bridge lit up like daytime. There was also heavy breathing like a sound present. The bridge began to move in a wave-like motion and then settled. Afraid he began to run to the other end of the bridge, before he reached the other end he noticed that he had dropped his pipe and went back to retrieve it.

The bridge was still lit up and the loud sounds persisted. He found his pipe and stooped down to get it. He looked up and was stunned to see only about 3 ft away a being about 6-7 ft tall staring at him. The being had a medium built as far as the chest, the hip is, and upper legs. But the head was quite larger than normal, and it had long arms. It appeared to be wearing a wet suit for skin diving. The head covering and bodysuit were as one. The eyes were covered with what appeared to be a one-piece lens that went across both eyes as if it was a type of blast shield, but the nasal area joined in with it. From the nasal area was a silver-gray tube that stretched at least one half feet long and went directly into its chest area. The silver-gray tube was ribbed and looked just like a tracheal tube. The hands consisted of three long fingers that ended in claws. The feet were three-toed and did not appear to have any heels.

When Renz looked up to the being’s face, he was almost to a full standing position. The being then raised its right three-fingered hand and motioned for him to come closer. Frightened the witness turned around and ran. His next recollection was of coming up on a military jeep and being picked up by two soldiers, still in the base. There was a seven-hour period of missing time. Years later under hypnotic regression Renz remembered being inside some kind of object in a cockpit along with the being. The being spoke to being telepathic. He remembers descending through clouds of vapor that had a reddish-brown tinge. The craft then flew in between two huge mountains; there was no vegetation anywhere it looked like a rocky desert.

Then he remembered following the being into a huge door on the side of a mountain and entering a small room. In this room, there was a table that floated in mid-air. The walls and floor of the room were a silver-gray color. On the floating table, there was the carcass of a creature or being. The creature on the table had a larger than normal head and the face resembled that of a wasp. The eyes were large like wasp eyes, and had slits inside that looked like pupils. The eye coverings were that of multi-lens, it had a small jaw and a slit-like nose. The creature was about four to five ft in length and it seemed to have an outer shell, as an insect would, like an exoskeleton. The color was tan to brown with a bluish-gray tinge. The humanoid emitted an unbearable foul odor; it resembled a rotten egg & sulfur mix. It had three fingers on its hands and where the elbows where there was a sharp concave like spikes at least six inches long. The mouth was gasped open and the teeth were like small shark teeth. A clear liquid with a reddish substance was dripped on the table.

The tall being then told the witness to exit the room. Outside the room, he saw a strange saucer-shaped craft with a wide front end and round tapered tail. The whole craft sat on two pillars, rectangular in shape and at least 50 ft between them. The being told him to go inside and sit on the left seat. On what appeared to be a control panel the witness saw numerous strange symbols. There was a sound like the harmonics of a powerful electric motor and the craft took off.

Later the witness recalled the craft attacking a large mountainous area resembling a beehive. He could see numerous creatures inside. They appeared to be scrambling back and forth. They were about 200 of them and they appeared to be the same as the insectoid humanoid that was on the floating table. Later he the craft landed in the destroyed complex where the witness saw a live creature with the face of a wasp that was wearing a dark cape-like cloak. Within its cloak it was carrying three small insect-like creatures at least a foot long, their heads were triangular in shape with large eyes. At this point, the tall humanoid arrived and shot the creature and the small insectoid-like humanoids dead. The witness was then returned back to the base.

Researcher’s Notes

The 1971 F.E. Warren AFB incident stands out for its departure from the typical “Grey” humanoid archetype common in the early 70s.

• Military Context: The location—a major Strategic Air Command base—adds a layer of high-stakes credibility. UFO reports involving nuclear-capable facilities often include accounts of electronic interference or “deathly quiet” zones, as reported by Renz.

• Unique Entity Morphology: The description of the being wearing a “wet suit” with a tracheal tube going directly into the chest is highly unusual. This suggests a biological or technological life-support system required for the entity to survive in our atmosphere.

• Insectoid Sub-Species: The “wasp-like” creatures and the “beehive” structure described under hypnosis are significant. In modern exopolitics, these are often categorized as Mantid or Insectoid races, which are less frequently reported than humanoids but often described as being in “overseer” roles.

• Multi-Stage Abduction: The narrative suggests a “shuttle” process: being taken from the base in one craft, transferred to a mountain facility, and then observing a conflict between different types of beings.

John R. Renz’s experience at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base is one of the more harrowing and complex accounts in the Wyoming archives. The physical sensations—the “heartbeat” sound and the wave-like motion of the bridge—suggest a localized distortion of space-time during the initial abduction phase. While the seven-hour gap was only filled years later through regression, the consistency of the biological details—specifically the foul sulfur odor and the distinct three-fingered clawed hands—parallels other high-strangeness cases from the same era. This case remains a critical study in the intersection of military personnel and non-human intelligence.
