Summary: A man, Jean Paul Guillou reportedly encounters “extraterrestrials” (not described) that invite him to go with him in their spacecraft. He goes to their planet—called “Stella” and lives among them for several years (!). He reports that many of the earth people on that planet are abductees being held prisoner there. While on the planet he marries a young lady, which had been abducted near Nantes France. After some time Guillou and his bride apparently returns to earth.

Summary: A platoon of US special operations soldiers came upon a group of humanoids that were apparently sorting human body parts into large bins and sealing them. A fire fight ensued in which several of the aliens were killed after it was learned that the light silver colored suits they were wearing were essentially “bullet proof.” All but one of the alien casualties resulted from “head shots.” As the soldiers pulled back several of the aliens quickly packed as much as they could. One pressed the side of a landed oval shaped craft nearby and a gangway slid down. They all scrambled into the opening, which disappeared as it closed. The hum from the craft increased as it rose and the “legs” pulled into the body. It then accelerated at fantastic speed and disappeared from sight. The body of a slain soldier began to decompose almost immediately after death. The military unit involved was then held incognito for debriefing for several days. The craft looked similar to the one observed by Zamora in New Mexico in 1964. It had the same arrow-like sign under semi-circle on its hull. The craft was polished, highly reflective, with a mirror-like surface. The symbol on the surface appeared to be sandblasted, as it was less reflective. The craft emitted a high-pitched hum but was otherwise nearly silent it its ascent. Legs appeared to be one contiguous piece with a body but withdrew into the orb during takeoff. It was spherical in shape; the craft was about 50 ft in diameter. The encounter and the description of the object were reported directly to civilians who identified themselves as representatives of the Majestic 12 group. The craft was later determined to have been from the HD Cassiopeia star system, 60 light years away.

The 17-year old witness was sleeping at home when suddenly she woke up when something hit her bed; she jumped up and now could hear her dog barking outside her window. She then noticed two bodiless hairy feet standing on her bed. She heard a noise and saw her Quija board sliding out of the drawer by itself. Feeling
somebody watching, she then saw a dark cloaked figure approaching her, this entity pulled out a 3-foot long rod and started hitting the witness, who attempted to wake her sister but could not. The witness was able to run across her mother’s room. The entity did not follow her there. Welts were found on the witness back the next day.

Summary: The young witness woke up in the middle of the night for an unknown reason; he was then drawn to the window. He looked out the window and saw a very bright light in the gravel pit behind his house, about a mile away. Once the bright light landed it illuminated the area enough to see the woods clearly. The witness was then also drawn outside, he remembers “knowing” that he was not supposed to be out bed let alone outside, but could not resist the impulse. Upon entering the backyard he was greeted by a being. The being was slightly taller than he was with a long neck, oversized head and large oval-shaped eyes, long fingers and toes. Its feet were bare and the witness could not recall any clothing on the being. The overall color of its skin was gray/green. When he came up to the creature it took the witness hand and they proceeded across the yard to the rear fence. Once he passed the fence and into the woods he could not recall anything else. But he does remember a feeling of warmth, friendliness and curiosity on both their parts. He felt no fear and felt hugely curious. He remembers that his feet felt cool and damp and remembers clearly the sounds of the night and feel of warm yet slightly cool damp air. The witness did not think about the incident until he was about 16 years of age.

Summary: Luis P and a friend, Rodolfo, were traveling on the isolated road Ruta 2 when all of the sudden Rodolfo woke up screaming asking Luis to let him drive, all this under a very heavy rainstorm. Luis stops the truck and Rodolfo assumes the steering wheel. Soon they reach a detour on the road that apparently leads them to a field in the middle of nowhere. The rain had abruptly stopped. Soon they continued on to their destination and upon arrival go immediately to sleep. Soon they are woken up and realize that they had been sleeping for 24 hrs and have no recollection for almost one whole day. Years later Luis starts to remember what had occurred the night of the drive under the rain. He recalled being in a wheat field and feeling extremely cold. Soon a huge top shaped craft appears suspended very close to the ground; a stairway like protrusion is extended from the object to the ground. Two figures descend down the stairway. These are described as human-like in appearance about 1.80 meters in height, wearing a large visor helmet. The two figures stood about 15 meters from both witnesses. Using hand signals the two humanoids signal to the two
men to follow them up the stairway and into the object. They notice that there were three wide silvery steps on the stairway. Inside the object there is a small illuminated compartment at first. There is a chair resembling that of a dentist’s chair in the middle of the room, black in color. Gently, one of the men (Luis) is escorted to the chair and sat down. In the meantime Rodolfo is taken to another sector of the object in which he is asked to sit down and secured with what appeared to be seatbelts. The whole time Luis felt very comfortable, even though he seems to be sitting at a 90-degree angle. He could not see any windows but did see a door, which appeared to have been the main entryway. He noticed that the two humanoids wore outfits similar to those wore by the TV “Michelin” man but thinner in appearance; their feet were covered with flipper-like shoes. At this point a round crystal bowl is placed over his head and inside everything becomes orange in color and foggy, total silence permeated the room. At this point Rodolfo walks back into the room. The humanoid accompanying Rodolfo motions to the other humanoid instructing him to remove Luis from the chair. A door becomes visible along with the stairway. Luis remembers slipping on the wet stairs as he exited the object. Their next memory is watching the craft departing at very high speed in total silence. The two men then walk back to their truck. Luis felt “a great joy” after the experience, somehow knowing that the aliens “were pure of heart” something impossible to find among humans.

B, a youth, was walking from a neighbor’s house when he saw lights ahead of him, which went out. He walked on and came upon a metallic square top shaped “machine” blocking the whole width of the road. The whole object was luminous, but a brighter light, yellow in color, came from rectangular windows around its circumference and from a semicircular light on top. He could hear movements inside the object. Then he realized he was paralyzed. The whole side of the object in front of him opened up, with a noise, and there emerged from it something shaped like 2 triangles base to base, which was rotating; this object remained near the rim of the UFO. From it came a voice, either telepathic or real, which said in French, “Do not speak to much, for you too will speak no more.” The voice was harsh and loud, the words separated; there was a buzzing background sound. The witness remained there paralyzed for a total of half an hour; we are not told whether he saw anything else happen. The next morning he and his father found at the scene, on the snow banks beside the road, curious round tracks, 6” in diameter, with 3 clawed protruding toes; these tracks, which touched one another without separation, led to the top of the snow bank, where they ceased abruptly.

Summary: A carpet dealer, was driving near his house when he came to a clearing in woods in which rested on legs a large flat oval white luminous object, about 35 ft x 50 ft x 10 ft high. It had a small cupola 3 ft high and 6 ft wide. It was only about 40 yards away from the witness car. He stopped to look at it, and then found that his headlights were out and that he could not restart his engine. For 45 minutes he sat there, feeling a progressive paralysis of his limbs and voice. Then he saw a thin small blackish being, not much over 3 ft tall, run out of the woods, jump onto the disc, then jump into the cupola, which he seemed to enter without an opening. Immediately the object took off “dead leaf” fashion, its luminescence increasing, rose to an altitude of about 200 ft, and streaked off. The witness, who had not believed in flying saucers, was left in a stupefied state, crying at his steering wheel. In this condition a neighbor, who took him home, found him. For some weeks he suffered from amnesia for the events of about 6 months before the encounter. The next day numerous tracks and holes were found on the ground at the landing site. In a pasture next to these woods a dead cow was found, with a 1.5” triangle of holes on its forehead.

Summary: An elderly woman, Mrs Taylor, suffering from insomnia, was up late. She saw from her window, above a tall factory chimney, a glowing, and yellow white ball shaped object; from the sphere emerged a figure wearing boots. The object appeared eventually to disappear “within itself.” The figure, seen for a period of two hours, gave her the impression of an “astronaut landing on the moon.”
