Stories of strange and unnerving humanoid creatures stretch back to the beginning of human civilization, with many of these forming the basis for many myths, legends, and even fairy tales. As the UFO age has unfolded following the start of the Modern UFO Era in the mid-1940s, many accounts of encounters with perplexing humanoid entities are also on record, suggesting that whatever these entities are, they are very real and possibly otherworldly. There are so many of these humanoid encounters on record from around the world that several volumes would be required to even come close to documenting them all.
Undoubtedly, one of the strangest humanoid encounters on record is also one of the most recent, unfolding in 2019 and featuring a paramedic responding to wildfires in the Amazon who found himself face-to-face with a ten-foot-tall humanoid. The account was placed into the wider public arena through researcher and author Albert Rosales, who has documented many humanoid encounters.
According to the account, one evening in September 2019, 30-year-old Paul Parada was working as a volunteer paramedic in the Bolivian region of the Amazon, providing medical assistance to the authorities – and specifically, the emergency services – who were tasked with tackling wildfires spreading through much of the Amazon region at the time. On this particular night, at around 11 pm, Parada had stepped outside of his medical tent to smoke a cigarette when he noticed a strange figure seemingly heading in his direction.
One of the first things Parada noticed as the figure got closer was how tall he was. As he got closer still, he could also see that his skin was pale white and that he was dressed in a shiny one-piece suit that had several silver stripes on it. Furthermore, this strange figure sported long, blond, shiny hair stretching to at least his upper back. By this time, this tall man was only several feet from where Parada was standing. It was at this point that Parada saw the figure was pressing a towel or small blanket to his upper torso as if he was wounded. Parada called out to him, asking if he needed assistance. The figure responded in perfect Spanish that he did. Perplexed by the whole situation, Parada turned and headed into the medical tent, with the figure following close behind.
Once inside the tent, Parada turned to face the figure before asking what the problem was. This time, without speaking, the figure removed the towel, and Parada could see a gaping wound. As soon as he saw the injury, he immediately began treating it. As he did so, he marveled at the fact that despite the amount of blood pouring from the wound, none of it appeared to settle on the figure’s clothes, almost as if they were made from some kind of waterproof material.
Eventually, he asked the figure how he had come to be injured. The figure answered him, although much to Parada’s shock, he did so telepathically, speaking directly into his mind, telling the paramedic that a puma had attacked him while he was in the forest. The figure appeared to notice a look of shock on the young medic’s face as he told him, once more using telepathy, that he had nothing to fear and that no harm would come to him. Feeling slightly comforted, Parada continued treating the wound. Then, an already strange night took an even stranger turn.
Following the treatment of the wound, the figure thanked Parada for his help and stood up to leave. Before he left, though, he asked Parada to accompany him outside. As they went to leave, the figure spoke once more, telling the young paramedic that he “shouldn’t be shocked at what he was about to see!” As he followed the tall figure out of the tent, Parada became aware of a large, metallic, disc-shaped object that hovered several feet away and only a few feet from the ground. As he looked below the craft, he could see two more humanoid figures. They looked almost identical to the figure he had just treated; only these had green skin instead of white.
What was strangest of all, however, was the way these other figures moved around, almost mechanically or robotically. This is an interesting detail, with many reports of alien encounters featuring details of robot-like creatures. Stranger still, when Parada looked too long at these other figures, he began to sense feelings of fear and dread rising up inside him. After several moments, the two figures began in the direction of the humanoid Parada had just treated. At the same time, the taller, pale-skinned figure began heading towards them. Then, he stopped and turned to Parada once more. This time, though, he addressed him by his name, something that shocked him as Parada hadn’t at any point told this figure his name. When the humanoid turned to leave again, Parada took himself back inside the medical tent, his mind racing with the events that had just unfolded. As such, he didn’t see the figures enter the craft, nor did he see the craft leave.
Aside from confiding in his brother (who was also in the region to volunteer his medical skills), Parada would keep the incident largely to himself, at least initially. However, over the next several months, he couldn’t cast the encounter from his mind, even suffering from several intense dreams and bouts of insomnia. Eventually, Parada agreed to speak about the encounter, and it came to light that he had kept a piece of medical dressing that he had used to treat the humanoid’s wound – a dressing that had the figure’s blood on it. At the time of writing, though, no DNA tests have been carried out on this material, at least none that is known to the general public.
Just who the figure might have been and for what reason they were in the region remains a complete mystery. The description of this tall humanoid entity is almost identical to descriptions of apparent aliens that were reported in abundance in the 1950s and are often referred to as the Nordics. These tall white humanoids of yesteryear were typically friendly and non-aggressive and often looked to impart knowledge and guidance to the people who encountered them. Furthermore, these encounters were not abductions but meetings where the respective witness remained of their own free will rather than being held or forced.
It is interesting to note that some researchers have questioned if these tall white humanoids could be connected to the legends of angels in Biblical writings. If that is true, then we might find that these apparent supernatural beings (angels) are, in fact, flesh-and-blood entities, albeit from elsewhere. We know, for example, that the figure in Parada’s account was bleeding, and so was not some kind of supernatural apparition.
Ultimately, the encounter remains a mystery, as does who the humanoid might have been. It is, though, far from the only encounter on record with bizarre and mysterious humanoid figures.
A decade previously, in England, an altogether different encounter with strange humanoid beings took place. According to the account, which first appeared on the paranormal blog Tales From Out There and soon spread to multiple other media platforms, on the afternoon of July 6th, 2009, somewhere in Wiltshire, an off-duty police sergeant was driving along the country roads when something caught his eye in one of the nearby fields at the roadside. When he turned to look in that direction, he could see several “strange-looking men” walking around in one of the cornfields. His first thought was that the figures were most likely teenagers enjoying a few beers out of the way. However, for reasons he couldn’t explain, he had a “strange feeling” about them and so decided to pull his car to the side of the road and investigate further.
He got out of the car and began across the field, all the while the “strange feeling” getting stronger and stronger. As he got closer, he could see there were three separate individuals, each of whom was at least six feet tall, most likely taller. They were each dressed in what appeared to be white overalls and moved about as if they were examining the ground as if they were looking for something. Seeing this, he now dismissed that the figures were teenagers and contemplated that they were a forensics team. Now, thinking a significant crime had been committed, he increased his pace, eager to offer assistance. As he got closer still, however, he began to hear a crackling sound like “static electricity” all around him. He stopped and listened for a moment, realizing that the sound appeared to be moving around him, and with each crackle, one of the crops where the sound came from moved in sympathy.
Realizing something strange was unfolding around him, the sergeant called out to the three men; however, none of them acknowledged or responded to him. He continued, and after taking several more steps, the three figures suddenly became aware of his presence. A moment later, all three of the figures turned and ran “faster than any man” the witness had ever seen. Within a second or two, they had disappeared. The static-like crackling sounds continued, however, and they continued to move around him. For the first time, the “strange feeling” turned to outright fear and he had a sudden urge to flee the field and head back to his car. He did just that, and several moments later, he was sitting in his car at the roadside. A moment after that, he started the engine and drove home, by which time he was experiencing an intense headache and intense feelings of nausea.
Interestingly, the witness did report the incident to his superior officer later that evening. However, the officer concerned refused to investigate the incident. Furthermore, as it had happened while the witness was off-duty, there was no official report on record. He was encouraged to forget about the encounter. However, because of its truly surreal nature, he found himself contemplating it more and more. When he discovered that a crop circle had recently appeared in the field where he had seen the three strange figures, he contacted a local expert and researcher, Andrew Russell.
Russell explored the incident and quickly came to the conclusion that the police sergeant had witnessed a group of extraterrestrials often referred to as Tall White Aliens. Russell also indicated that he was uncertain if these alien beings were responsible for the crop circle or whether they were looking to inspect it. We might recall that the police officer heard a crackling static electricity sound around him during the encounter. This could be suggestive of the crop circle forming around him while he was there.
Just what the anonymous police sergeant witnessed that afternoon in a lonely field in Wiltshire remains unknown. One thing of interest to note is that the witness claimed it appeared as though the three humanoids were searching for something on the ground, perhaps as if they were on some kind of fact-finding mission. As we shall see, this is something that comes up repeatedly in encounters with strange humanoid entities.
Several years earlier, at a little after 4 am in the early hours of August 11th, 2003, just outside of Szczecinek in Poland, another encounter involving humanoid entities unfolded. According to the files of Brian Vike, who obtained the report from Polish UFO investigator, Tomek Wierszalowicz, on the morning in question, Lech Chacinski was making his way to work in his truck along the quiet country roads. As he was approaching a bridge, however, a strange figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the road a short distance ahead of him. Chacinski focused on the strange figure, realizing that it had its hand held up in front of it as if in greeting. Furthermore, two more almost identical figures stood behind the first one.
Cacinski pulled his truck to the side of the road and brought it to a stop. He could now see that each of the figures wore a shiny suit similar to that of an astronaut. Of more concern, Cacinski couldn’t escape a feeling that there was something “disturbingly extraordinary” about these three figures, even though they appeared human in almost every way (they were the same height, had two arms, two legs, etc.). He would further describe the attire of the creatures as shiny but with the appearance of “dull, silvery, elastic foil” that had a “puffed-out” look to them. Furthermore, each of the figures wore a helmet with a black visor that covered where the face should have been. Chacinski also noticed that on the torso, there were “seven lights in each row” that flashed different colors, while on their back, each of the figures carried some kind of backpack (quite possibly some kind of breathing apparatus).
Before Chacinksi realized what was happening, one of the figures was outside of his truck's cabin, peering in through the side window. From this close-up, he could see through the black visor somewhat and could easily make out “two round black eyes” looking directly at him. He was so unnerved by the pair of eyes that Chacinski went to restart his truck so he could drive away from the scene as quickly as possible. However, before he could do so, a “beam of light” emerged from the creature’s helmet and struck Chacinski. Then, he blacked out.
He came to several moments later, only now, he felt a sense of calm take over him. Even stranger, he could hear a voice – what he presumed was the creature’s voice – inside his head. It was telling him that he should not be afraid before asking Chacinski if he could hear them. Bizarrely, and without realizing how, Chacinksi replied that he could, but not with his voice but telepathically. The figure then began asking Chacinski questions about his vehicle, asking from “what material” it was made and what fuel it used. He answered these questions as best he could and recalled something akin to a sense of “great surprise” on the part of the creature as to his answers.
Following this, the creature then began speaking to Chacinski about the “catastrophic” consequences awaiting the planet if humanity continued on its current course, although he couldn’t recall any specific details of the conversation. He did, though, remember asking the humanoid figure one question, asking where they came from. To this, the creature replied that the “Eighth Galaxy” was their home.
Although he wasn’t sure how long this telepathic exchange lasted, following it, the three humanoids ascended into the air and floated away from the road to a large disc-shaped object that hovered nearby. Chacinski later stated that he wasn’t certain if the metallic craft had just arrived or had been waiting close by throughout the encounter. He did recall, however, that it was approximately 150 feet wide and around 1000 feet from his location. Moreover, he could see what appeared to be several rows of windows running along the side of the upper part of the object, while on the top, in the center, there was an “opaque chamber!”
As he looked on, the three figures had positioned themselves directly beneath the craft. Then, without warning, a “very bright blue-white light” emerged from the underside and “took the three beings up” into the object. Within a moment, the figures and the light were gone, and all that remained beneath the futuristic vehicle was a “colored smoke” that seemed to wrap itself around the craft. Chacinski looked on as the object rose into the air to an altitude of around 100 to 150 feet before moving slowly along the ground, the colored smoke following it. It then came to a very brief stop before suddenly shooting into the early morning sky with a bizarre sound that was a cross between a buzzing and a hissing.
To his amazement, when he looked to the field where the object had been only moments earlier, he could see clear indentations in the crops that marked a perfect outline of the otherworldly craft. He managed to capture several photographs of the marks in the field, and several others were captured later during subsequent investigations following his report. Ultimately, many UFO investigators explored the case over the years, with almost all coming away feeling that Chacinski was a reliable, credible, and trustworthy witness.
Without a doubt, one of the most thought-provoking encounters with humanoid entities unfolded on the evening of January 27th, 1978, along the banks of the River Weaver in Cheshire, England. According to an article detailing the account in Volume 26, Number 3 1980 edition of Flying Saucer Review by Jenny Randles and Paul Whetnall, at around 6 pm on the night in question, four young men were poaching pheasant near the river in an area referred to locally as the Devil’s Garden, a location, coincidentally or not, that has many legends attached to it. Due to their questionable activities, the four men would insist on anonymity when speaking of their experience.
As they looked for their prize in the woodland and vegetation around the river bank, one of the men noticed a “strange object” that appeared to be skimming along the surface of the water. To begin with, largely due to a recent news story of a Soviet satellite crashing to the ground in Canada, the men believed they were seeing another satellite of one of the Cold War superpowers coming back to Earth. However, after observing this aerial anomaly for several moments, it was clear to all of them that the object was not falling but was under some kind of intelligent control, now moving only 20 feet above the ground.
It passed directly over the top of the four men, a “light humming sound” appearing to come from it as it did so. As the object passed over them, a strange “rushing wind” followed behind it, a wind that the witnesses claimed made them feel decidedly unwell. At this distance, the four men could see that the object was spherical and had a silver exterior. They watched in shock as this strange craft descended to the ground, landing only a short distance away from where they were standing. They later estimated that the object was around 15 feet across and recalled seeing multiple flashing lights around the side. They also recalled seeing several window-like areas, from which a “very strange glow” could be seen coming from the inside of the craft. Stranger still, the men recalled that they could only look at this light for a short amount of time before their eyes began to hurt (later conclusions by UFO investigators were that this was some kind of ultraviolet light).
Of immediate concern to the four men, they quickly noticed that when they looked at the now-landed object, it appeared “fuzzy” to them. This fuzziness alerted them to the potential for increased radiation around the craft, which caused them to begin backing away from it. However, before they could turn their backs, they noticed a strange figure suddenly emerge from the object. They could see that the figure was clearly humanoid and was wearing some kind of silver one-piece suit and a round helmet on its head, on top of which was violet light. The witnesses remained where they were, as still as possible, and watched as the humanoid appeared to be surveying its surroundings, the light on its helmet illuminating the area it was looking at. Eventually, this violet shade stopped on a herd of cows in a nearby field. After several moments, the humanoid figure turned and returned inside the craft.
The four men remained still, and a moment later, the figure emerged once more. However, this time, it was followed by a second humanoid figure dressed in the same silver-colored suit and wearing the same round helmet with a violet light on top. Between them, they were carrying what appeared to be a large, silver metal cage, although the ease with which the two figures carried it suggested that it was extremely light.
They were heading in the direction of the field where the cows were grazing. Once there, the two figures approached one of the cows that was slightly away from the rest of the herd. It was clear to the witnesses that this particular cow appeared to be unnaturally frozen to the spot as if it had been paralyzed standing up. They looked on as the two figures proceeded to place the cage around the cow before beginning to move several metallic plates into place. The witnesses were unsure if the humanoids were merely measuring or weighing the cow or if they were planning to take it back to their craft.
At this point, though, each of them decided they had seen enough and turned and ran away from the scene, eventually reaching a bridge where they crossed to the other side of the river. From there, they turned around in the direction they had just come from but were unable to see the humanoids or the spherical craft. Strangely, however, one of the witnesses later told investigators that they recalled some kind of “pulling sensation” as he was running from the scene, almost as if there was an “invisible force” intentionally dragging him back. Even stranger, he also claimed that he felt this pull on his testicles, which he stated remained “sore” for several days afterward.
The incident remains unexplained today, almost half a century later. Was this some kind of cattle mutilation case? There are no reports of dead cattle being found in the days following the sighting. If not that, then was this some kind of intelligence-gathering mission? Was the cow taken and then returned to the field later? Or was whatever activity they were undertaking carried out right there in the field? All such questions remain unanswered. There were, though, several other similar sightings in the United Kingdom around the same time.
On the evening of January 2nd, for example, just under four weeks before the River Weaver encounter, a resident of Rainford in the Merseyside region of northwestern England reported seeing a humanoid figure wearing a silver suit. Just over two weeks later, on January 18th, in the same region, several schoolchildren claimed to have seen a “small UFO” land on the roof of their school. Even more amazing, after several moments, three “astronauts” exited the craft and walked around on top of the school building. The children offered that the three humanoids were wearing golden-colored shiny suits (we might question whether these suits were, in fact, silver that might have been reflecting the sun).
Whether there is a connection to the River Weaver encounter remains uncertain. However, we should ask how likely it would be that three different sets of witnesses should report seeing almost identical humanoid figures wearing identical clothing in the same (relatively speaking) geographic location within a month of each other. When we add to that that the United Kingdom experienced a discreet wave of UFO sightings and even several claims of alien abduction during this time, the River Weaver sighting takes on even more interest to UFO researchers and investigators.
Just short of a year later, in the early hours of November 25th, 1978, in the La Pizana estate of Spain near the town of Gerena, another bizarre humanoid encounter unfolded – one that shared many of the details with the River Weaver sighting. Interestingly or not, the following encounter also took place near water, this time near the Guadiamar River. On the night in question, at around 3:30 am, Manuel Gordillo and four friends were near the river in the eucalyptus trees on a late-night hunting trip. After they had been out for several hours, one of the group decided to return to the car and call it a night. The rest of the group decided to stay out. It would be a night none of them would ever forget.
Using their powerful flashlights, the remaining hunters scanned the area, looking for potential prey. As they were doing so, they noticed what looked to be strange red lights a short distance away. They appeared similar to the rear brake lights of a car, although none could understand how a car could have been driven into the woodland. The closer they got, the more they realized the red glow was not coming from a car’s rear brake lights. Realizing they were dealing with something out of the ordinary, the four men turned out their flashlights and began to approach much more cautiously. They watched the strange glow for several moments before deciding to cross to the other side of the river and resume their hunt. During this, though, Gordillo somehow became separated from the rest of the group.
To begin with, realizing he was alone, he moved the beam of his flashlight around him in an attempt to locate his friends. He couldn’t, though, see them anywhere. He then turned the flashlight off and whistled loudly, attempting to alert them. This worked, and almost immediately, he could see their flashlights heading in his direction. By the time they had found him, Gordillo could see that something strange had happened to them. Before he could contemplate things any further, one of his friends turned to him and asked, “Didn’t you see that again?” To this, Gordillo answered that he hadn’t seen anything unusual since they viewed the red lights on the other side of the river. His friends informed him that they had seen the bizarre lights again when he had become separated from them. After taking several moments to discuss what they should do, Gordillo, along with one of the hunters, Francisco Lopez Rivero, chose to head in the direction of the lights and investigate further while the rest of the group covered them from a distance.
They had only taken several steps when the lights were in view once more. From this distance, the lights appeared to be “shaking!” The closer they got to them, however, the more details became clear to them. They could see that there wasn’t just one light but several of them, all in a row, and they were on the side of a large object. Gordillo recalled that the object was hovering close to the ground and was a distinct round shape. From this distance – approximately 100 feet – he could see that the lights were not all red but different colors. Rivero would offer a different description, stating that the object was similar to a “large, earthen jar, upside down (and) with a red light on top!” He also recalled that the lights were different colors, stating they were a mixture of green, orange, yellow, and red, as well as that the object appeared to rest on several silver legs.
Even stranger, though, what really got their attention was the strange humanoid person who was walking in front of them. As it moved, Gordillo temporarily lost sight of it, unable to tell if the figure had returned inside the craft or had walked around it. Then, the figure was back in view once more. At this point, Gordillo could only see the bottom half of the figure, but it appeared it was very tall, and he could see it was wearing some kind of boots. The two men could also hear a bizarre “mmm” sound that appeared to come from the humanoid, almost as if it was humming. Rivero, who was several feet behind Gordillo, recalled briefly seeing that the figure was wearing a shiny, silver helmet with a visor similar to a typical motorbike helmet. Furthermore, much like Gordillo, Rivero also sensed the figure was tall, standing between six and a half and seven feet.
The next thing they realized, the figure was heading in their direction. By the time it was close enough for them to hear the sound of its footsteps, the two men turned around and ran back to the rest of the group. Once there, all four of them scrambled back to the other side of the river and back to their car.
While that was the end of the initial encounter, several weeks later, on January 14th, 1979, Rivero returned to the location with UFO investigators. It took several hours, but they eventually found the location where they had witnessed the strange figure and equally strange object. They could see that there was a clear circular indention in the vegetation that had created a clearing of sorts. All agreed that the clearing appeared far from natural and seemed to have been made by the object that had landed there. Perhaps of more interest to investigators, they also discovered what appeared to be several strange footprints. What was particularly interesting about these footprints, although investigators were unable to determine exactly when the footprints had been made, they were able to determine that whoever – or whatever – had made them had likely stood around seven feet tall – exactly as Gordillo and Rivero had estimated.
Ultimately, while the La Pizana encounter remains unexplained, it contains several intriguing and resonating details – ones that also show up in many other humanoid cases. In fact, around the same time, Spain experienced several very similar humanoid encounters. One of these occurred in Sevilla, also in November 1978. According to the files of Moises Garrido Vazquez, Antonia Aranda awoke suddenly in the middle of the night to find a seven-foot-tall humanoid standing over her bed. The figure was dressed entirely in black, with a black helmet and a visor covering its face. Before she could take in any more detail, she felt a blast of cold, icy air hit her in the face before she blacked out. When she came to, she saw a round, glowing metal sphere hovering directly over the top of her and she knew instinctively that the cold blast of air had come from this curious hovering device.
The next thing she knew, the figure dressed in black approached her once more. He claimed to her that he was “regenerating” her. She then blacked out once more. When she awoke next time, the figure and strange spherical device were nowhere to be seen. In the years that followed, Antonia claimed to have had several further encounters with this strange figure. Also interesting, following these encounters, she noticed how she had strange effects on electrical devices, even causing many of them to cease working altogether.
It is also worth mentioning that at the same time in East Sussex in the United Kingdom (which was experiencing its own wave of UFO and humanoid encounters) a local resident claimed to have seen a bizarre humanoid figure who was dressed entirely in black, including a black helmet that covered its face, from her window. At the same time, she noticed that her pet dog was seemingly petrified and cowered in the corner of the room.
Another encounter that unfolded in November 1978, this time somewhere in Italy, is of further interest. On the night in question, somewhere around midnight, “Antonio F” was watching television at his home when his pet dog suddenly began barking close to the window. Antonio got up from his chair and walked over to the window and looked outside, contemplating that there might be an intruder in the yard. At first, he could see nothing unusual. Then, out of the cold, drizzly night, a bright orange glow appeared approximately 100 feet from his property. In a similar response as the hunters in La Pizana, Antonio contemplated whether the glow belonged to a passing car that was experiencing trouble or had even crashed. However, a moment later, he dismissed this possibility, deciding that he was instead looking at something altogether more unusual.
Despite the late hour, he called out to his family. However, by the time they had dragged themselves from their beds, the lights had disappeared. They all returned inside, certain the strangeness had ended. However, a short time later, the dog began barking once more, alerting Antonio that whatever he had seen had returned. A moment later, he ventured outside once more to investigate. He began in the direction where he had seen the lights a short time earlier. Before he could reach the location, though, he heard a sudden rustling sound from the nearby vegetation.
Instinctively, he turned on the flashlight he was carrying and pointed the beam in the direction the sound had come from. He was more than shocked when the light settled on two humanoid figures. Each figure wore a dark, tight-fitting one-piece suit, and each was at least six feet tall. The two figures appeared to stare at Antonio for several moments before retreating into the shadows. When Antonio went to the location he had seen the figures the following day, he discovered a round patch of burnt vegetation on the ground. He contemplated if the glowing object had made this burnt patch and whether that had been the craft the two humanoids had arrived in. Once more, we might ask if these two humanoids are the same as those witnessed by the hunters in La Pizana.
According to an article in the April 6th, 1976 edition of Flying Saucer Review titled Forced Feeding by J.M. Bigorne, on a lonely road in France at around 5:30 am on February 28th, 1974, an anonymous 59-year-old man was riding his moped along Highway 38 when he suddenly found himself at the center of a bizarre encounter with mysterious humanoids.
As he was coming over a bridge that stretched over the River Thon, he suddenly experienced a bizarre episode of missing time. He realized that he was no longer moving and was simply sitting on his moped at the roadside. He couldn’t recall slowing down his moped or coming to a stop. It was as if he was moving one moment and then stopped dead the next. He was so confused that it took him a moment to notice the two humanoid figures – who he referred to as cosmonauts due to the round helmets on their heads – who were standing right next to him. He could have sworn he was alone only moments earlier. It was as if these figures were not there one moment and next to him the next, as if they had just appeared out of thin air.
As well as the helmet, with a visor that covered their face, they each wore a dark, one-piece, tight-fitting suit. He also noticed that each of the figures wore a pair of long “five-fingered gloves” that went right the way up their arms, which the witness likened to gloves used for the “artificial insemination of cattle!”
It was at this point that he became aware of a huge, circular object that he described as a “dark circular mass” with no lights that was sitting on the ground in a nearby field. He estimated the object was around the size of two cars and appeared to be completely silent. As he was taking in the details of the craft, his foot still resting on the ground as he sat on his moped, the two humanoids began to investigate the handlebars. They occasionally looked at him, which caused a surge of fear to run through him. Then, things turned even more surreal.
The two humanoids began gesturing to the witness in a manner that they were encouraging him to eat something. When the witness simply remained still and looked at them, the two figures turned to each other and appeared to be somehow communicating. Then, one of them reached behind them and produced a small square that the witness claimed looked like a “piece of chocolate!” Once more, the figure gestured to the witness that he should eat it. More out of fear than anything else, the witness took the square and ate it. He later stated that although it was tasteless, it had a similar texture to chocolate, although slightly softer. As he ate it, the two humanoids simply watched him as if they were ensuring he swallowed it. When he had done so, they backed away slightly and gestured at him once more, motioning that he was now free to go.
He started his moped immediately and left the scene as fast as he could. He later told UFO investigators that he had no actual memory of setting off. One moment, he was watching the figures gesturing that he could go; the next, he was speeding down the road as he had been before he came over the bridge. Of course, whether this was due to the surrealness of the situation or whether these strange beings used some kind of technology to cloud his memory remains open to debate. Investigators, though, would soon manage to piece together a fuller picture of the anonymous witness’s encounter.
Although he didn’t notice any effects after eating the chocolate-like substance, because the witness didn’t see a doctor in the hours following the incident, no medical tests could be carried out in an attempt to see what the substance was. Furthermore, it remained a mystery as to why the humanoids were insistent that he ate it in the first place. It is perhaps worth mentioning many alien abduction encounters where the abductee is asked – or sometimes forced – to drink a clear or tasteless liquid so that their memory of their respective encounters is erased. Although this was food and not a drink, could it be that the effect of the chocolate-like substance achieved the same end? Could the humanoids have been so insistent that he ate the square substance in the hope that he would not recall the bizarre events? Perhaps much more happened that strange night that is locked away in the witness’s memory.
As time went on, the witness became less and less inclined to speak about the bizarre encounter, not least due to the ridicule he received from work colleagues and some of his friends. However, some of the witness’s neighbors took it upon themselves to visit the location where he claimed the events had unfolded. And when they did, they made some remarkable discoveries. In the precise location where the witness claimed he had seen the craft in the field, they found several depressions in the ground as if something very heavy had recently rested there. Furthermore, the surrounding vegetation had been squashed in a perfect circle – the same shape the witness claimed the craft was. UFO investigators later spoke with the neighbors in question and found them all to be of sound mind and, ultimately, credible witnesses.
Just who the strange humanoids were and why they seemingly stopped the witness and forced him to eat the chocolate-like substance remains a complete mystery.
Perhaps adding further credibility to the admittedly bizarre encounter is that there are several other very similar reports from France near the same time as the Highway 38 incident. Only two weeks previously, for example, according to an article in the No. 14, 2nd Quarter 1975 edition of Ouranos, at around 1:30 pm on February 14th, 1974, in Petite-Ile, another anonymous gentleman was walking along a quiet country road when he suddenly felt a strange force “pulling at him” as well as a “tingling sensation” that permeated his entire body.
At this point, the witness looked around to see if they could identify the source of this strange force. His focus quickly fell upon a white, disc-shaped object that had a domed upper section. He watched in amazement as it hovered a short distance from the ground, only several feet from him. Then, without warning, an urgent beam of light came from the craft and settled straight on him. Through the light, he could see three “small beings” that he estimated were no more than three feet in height. These strange figures were moving back and forth, seeming to go back inside the craft through some kind of doorway in the side and then back out again.
He later described these creatures as wearing a metallic one-piece suit, each identical to the other. He remained where he was and watched the bizarre scene play out in front of him. Then, after several minutes, the three figures reentered the craft, which began to ascend rapidly until it disappeared. For several days after the encounter, the witness experienced severe headaches, as well as temporary vision impairment likely from the beam of light.
According to an article in Volume 22, 1976 edition of Flying Saucer Review, at around 9 pm on August 26th, 1974, in Feignes, a little over six months after the Highway 38 incident, a resident was waiting anxiously outside their home for the return of his daughter, who was late returning from a festival in the town. As he was pacing outside, he noticed a curious object in the night sky, one that he later described as being a “perfectly round black hole” that was around 700 feet from where he stood. He watched it for several moments, certain that the object was descending in a controlled and purposeful manner.
At this point, the man ran inside the house to inform his wife of the aerial anomaly. They both rushed back outside, the craft still overhead but now much closer, less than 100 feet from the ground. From this proximity, the pair could see a corona of light around the object split from the middle, giving the impression of two letter “Ds” as they moved. Eventually, they split completely apart from each other, with one of them heading into the distance while the other remained hovering overhead.
The pair continued to watch the object and were more than shocked to see two humanoid figures dressed almost identical to an astronaut moving around on the other side of what appeared to be a large window in the side of the object. The astronaut-type suits appeared to be made from some kind of metallic-type material and were grey-white in color. Strangely, the figures moved in a bizarre manner, almost “like puppets” that were two-dimensional. In total, the husband and wife watched the object and humanoids inside it for around 40 minutes before his concern for his daughter became too great, and the main witness drove into the town to look for her. By the time he returned, his daughter now with him, the bizarre object had disappeared. Like many of the other encounters we have explored, the sighting remains unexplained.
We might note that several of the encounters we have examined here have featured humanoids wearing some kind of one-piece suit, often silver, at least partially, in color. More often than not, these suits are made of some kind of metallic material. Furthermore, although not exclusively, many of these humanoids wear helmets with a dark or black colored visor obscuring their facial features. Is it a mere coincidence that they were in such similar attire, or does it suggest that we could be dealing with one specific race of alien or otherworldly visitor? Might we even consider that these humanoids dressed almost identically to modern astronauts could be human time travelers from the future or even another dimension?
As we mentioned at the start, these are but a handful of questions from a handful of encounters with bizarre humanoid beings, and we will undoubtedly return to this area of interest in a future article to explore more of these fascinating and mind-blowing accounts. For now, we have much to contemplate, not least how the accounts we have examined here might fit into the bigger picture of the UFO mystery, and the wider paranormal world
