Summary: Terrill Wilson, a 44-year-old business owner from Alabama, told Cryptozoology News that the event was also witnessed by other members of his family in the woods of Marthaville, Louisiana, in the spring break of 1978. “Our great uncle Buddy and our grandfather told us that my uncle Buddy was having some of his cattle killed and mutilated by a large bird,” Wilson recalls. “As kids, you know, we were thinking they were just trying to scare us.” Wilson says that, curious about the story, he, his brothers and cousins ventured into the woods looking for the alleged creature. “So we went that afternoon through the woods to the back pasture where the cattle were. When we got to the edge of the woods, we could see the herd grazing. A few minutes later, at the back edge of the pasture a very large black, greyish bird came out of the woods and into the pasture.” The bird, says the man, was about 100 yards away featuring “large wings and a big head” and standing on its legs was about 8 feet tall. It had feathers on its wings and “was more fowl than reptilian”. The sighting reportedly lasted about one minute. “It came and us stood there for a few seconds and then the cattle saw it and got spooked. We didn’t recognize the cattle stampeding at first because we were in awe of what we were seeing. When we finally realized the cattle were stampeding and running towards us into the wood line, we took off running back towards the house,” said Wilson. According to the Alabama, the bird then decided to change paths and began flying in the same direction he and the other kids were running. “Scared wasn’t the word for what I was. Frightened for my life would be more accurate. So we took off through the woods, every man for himself, running for the house. I can not remember where anyone else was, I was just remember booking it through the woods.” Wilson says that when he was near the house, he noticed the bird’s shadow on the ground. He says that he was so “scared to look up” so he kept “running towards the house”. “It passed me and kept going. That shadow, honestly and truthfully, was at least 25 to 30 yards wide from tip to tip.” Finally, says Wilson, when he made it to the porch of the residence, he was the only one there. “There was no sign of my brothers or our cousin. I did not go back looking for them either. They emerged from the woods minutes later safely screaming and yelling for uncle Buddy to tell him what had happened.” Thunderbird, also known as Roc, is the nomenclature used by Native Americans to refer to bird-like creatures with reptile features that are believed to be related to the extinct pterosaurs.

Summary: Several soldiers were out on a routine patrol, including one named David. While resting David was putting on his backpack when a flash of light hit him. It came from an object just above the trees. It was metallic and elliptical in shaped and was hovering 100 meters away and was completely silent. Then it shot away at an incredible speed without a sound. Years later David had started having flashbacks of what really happened. He remembers putting on his backpack when a dwarf in a cloak and hood approached him. He said he would take him into the forest where he would be given something. He was led away from the rest of the group, who did not react at all to what was going on. He was taken to a clearing in the woods where a ship had landed. His next recollection was of standing in an empty room. He then found himself facing his double (cloning?) across the room. The double was wearing a blue cloak and hood. Next he recalled walking out in the forest with the dwarf by his side wearing his double’s cloak. He then came upon his companions and took them with him back into the forest. He remembers entering what seemed to be a hospital ward, besides being long the room was also crescent shaped, with beds filled with people, including his colleagues. At the foot of very bed was a container of unknown substance, with body parts of people; bloody and horrific.

The witness was traveling one evening with 2 small children in the back seat when she noticed a streak of light in the sky, which was approaching very fast below the horizon. The area around the street intersection became very dark and the traffic and streetlights went out. A dome shaped object quickly descended over the area as she pulled over to an empty parking lot. The object hovered silently and motionless over a building. The center rotated and appeared to be lit from the inside. Through a transparent area on the center the witness saw three tall man-like figures with long blond hair and wearing light blue jumpsuits that appeared to be staring at her. The witness could see inside the object and was sure that the figures knew she was looking at them. The underside of the craft was lit with bright white lights.

30-year old I Rumyantseva an engineer at the local Central Construction Bureau was on vacation and was sleeping in a wooden shack in a forested area together with her companions. Suddenly she awoke to see two figures amid the room. The figures wore tight fitting suits, similar to divers, smooth and polished. The strange pair carried sources of light in their hands (similar to flashlights), which they pointed at the sleeping people. No one else woke up. Mrs. Rumyantseva pretended to be asleep while she watched the figures. The figures stood motionless and manipulated their “flashlights”. Suddenly she felt paralyzed and at the same moment she heard voices in her head. They wondered why she pretended to be asleep. Soon after that the humanoids began to examine the paralyzed victim. They were especially concerned with her spine. She was unable to move. Soon the paralysis subsided and when she opened her eyes the two figures were gone. The next morning the occupants of the shack all felt sick, some had headaches and others vomited.

Summary: Two men camping on the edge of a small lake watched a large round, pulsating ball of light hovering above the lake. Both men had a peculiar reaction to the light and felt that their sense of fear had been somehow altered or heightened. Later they went to the lake’s edge to fish and began hearing heavy footfalls coming from the direction of the nearby woods. They pointed their flashlights towards the woods and illuminated a huge hairy figure standing between two trees. The figure had huge dangling arms below his knee. One of the witnesses fired six shots at the creature apparently hitting it, but it crouched and hid behind a tree. The frightened men then ran into their tent. Moments later they heard loud pounding noises coming from each side of the tent. Both men then ran out fired two shots and fled in their vehicle. Both men then suffered from multiple symptoms like great thirst, depression, nausea, etc. They also had peculiar dreams of being taken onboard an object by tall hairy creatures.

Summary: A blue beam of light reportedly struck 18-year old Jose Alvaro as he walked to a house. He was on his way to check that it was locked for the night, because the owner (his father) was away. He never arrived, waking up in a daze sometime later, with the words “The task is accomplished” racing through his head and strange images of war running like a picture show in his mind. He slapped himself and found it was now 0400A. Two weeks later during a hypnotic session conducted by psychologist Dr. Palmor Carapecos. Jose was able to remember being led into a room where a silver-haired, tall female entity with large eyes rubbed him down, forced him to have sex with her and then told him he would have another task to perform later.

James Minton was up late reading when he heard a loud humming sound coming from outside. Going out to investigate he was stunned to see a large hovering disc shaped craft encased in a purple haze, hovering very close to the ground. As his fear became curiosity he approached the object. Suddenly close to the object a humanoid figure began to materialize. It became a man like figure of an incredible appearance. It wore a brilliant greenish outfit, a wide belt, and a pair of tight fitting boots. It stood staring at the witness. It appeared to have some type of emblem on its chest and what appeared to be luminous tentacle-like appendages emanating from the top of its head. It carried some type of instrument in his hands. After performing several tasks around the object and completely ignoring the witness, the strange being disappeared into the strange purple haze that surrounded the object, seemingly blending into it. The object then rose up and disappeared from sight.

Summary: Previously William J Herman had seen strange objects over the area. On the above date he spotted a silvery disc shaped object, about 60 feet in diameter, performing triangular maneuvers overhead. He ran towards the object, cutting across marshy ground near a river. The object suddenly rushed towards him, he started to fall when a tubular beam of blue light enclosed him. The beam of light led to the craft, now hovering nearby. He became disoriented and numb, then lost consciousness. He woke up lying on a table in a hospital-like room that glowed with a red light. His shirt was open and a cold metallic box sat on his chest. Three beings were in the room and were looking at a row of flashing lights and a TV screen. One being spoke by using telepathy to the witness and led him through a curving hallway and a small airlock to a room filled with computers and other equipment, it was apparently the control room. The beings were humanoid, with large bulging and hairless heads, almost jawless, with small mouths, slit nostrils and no ears. The eyes were large and glowing and seldom blinked. The beings were 4 to 5-feet tall, seemingly frail with pale, soft skin. They wore red overalls. One of the beings appeared to be the leader and guide. The leader told the witness, among other things, that they were from Zeta Reticuli and that time was short for humanity. He was then led back to the initial room and made to lie down on the table again. He felt relaxed then passed out. Soon he found himself on the ground looking up as the object rose away from him.

It had brilliant blue, yellow, green, and lilac colored lights. On its upper section it had a sort of cabin or cupola with 3 circular windows. The craft approached, stopped, and hovered above the waters, causing the area directly below the object to become agitated and choppy. Ribeiro then saw two short humanoids appear on top of the craft. The figures were about 1 meter in height, and wore gray colored tight fitting outfits. The beings were baldheaded, with small noses and mouths and huge black eyes. One carried something resembling a walking cane; the other had what appeared to be a vacuum cleaner like object. Both beings then began operating the vacuum like object seemingly extracting water from the ocean. After 10 minutes they re-entered the object. Moments later the object descended to 10 meters above the waters causing them to become even more turbulent, creating large waves and foam. Afraid Ribeiro ran home.
