The following are previous humanoid / cryptid encounter reports received by various agencies worldwide:

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT

Location/Date: near Flagstaff, Arizona - May 1994 - late night

A couple was camping in an isolated pine forest. During the very chilly night they built a campfire, but for some unknown reason the fire kept failing. The woman felt uneasy and scared for no apparent reason. As the temperature dropped they sat in the car.

Shortly thereafter the woman noticed a bright star like object above the tree line. The light moved from side to side and up and down. After about 20 minutes they looked to the west and saw five more similar lights above the tree line. These appeared to be balls of light that danced around very quickly. As they watched, the original light descended down behind the tree line. While observing the lights a multi-colored craft came out of the distant northwest sky. It flew at incredible speed and quickly out of sight. Increasingly scared both prayed. Soon the lights from the sky were gone, but an oblong bright white light illuminated the forest floor.

Both then took a shotgun and a pistol and settled in the tent. Soon they heard what seemed to be persons walking outside. They sat and listened to what sounded like six to ten people walking around in every direction with an occasional tap or prod to the tent. After an hour, a sound came over the tent while simultaneously the ground under the tent floor moved like waves of energy. The woman then looked up through the screened roof and saw a bright ball of white blue light in the sky, just above the tree line. From this light came a large white colored beam of light shining into the tent.

The number of "persons" or creatures outside the tent increased, sounding like 30 to 40 in number. Occasionally they heard a sound like whipping wind, along with what sounded like a yipping barking noise that gave them the creeps. At one point a pulsating orange white blue light glowed right next to the tent on the forest floor. It grew larger in size then just disappeared. At daybreak both left the tent and found strange footprints in the dirt and handprints on the dust of the car. The footprints "were toed cloven hoofs" and larger three toed feet. The four-fingered handprints had a skeletal, very long thin look. Frightened they left the area. Their families did not believe their story and they were told that they were "possessed".

GLOWING ENTITIES

Location/Date: Tualatin, Oregon - February 2003 - night

As the witness' boyfriend lay sleeping in bed she got up to use the bathroom. After she left the bathroom she decided to walk out to the living room and have a cigarette before she tried to go back to sleep. The apartment was pitch black. There were no windows except in the bedroom, which was covered with blinds and curtains. The living room had a sliding glass door to a balcony that was right along side the main door and completely closed up with a drape as well.

As she started down the hallway to the front of the living room she could sense someone walking up behind her. She thought it was her boyfriend and continued down the hall expecting that he wanted to scare her. After a couple more steps, she quickly glanced back and was stunned at what appeared to be an outline of a figure with a faint glow around it. As well, she could see the bedroom door behind/through it. She looked straight ahead and continued walking. She was stopped on her tracks as she reached the end of the hallway where it branched to either the entry to the kitchen or the entry to the dining room or straight ahead to the living room. She literally felt as though something was standing in front of her. She was afraid to look up but did glance behind at which time she saw the same outline as before only more defined. There was almost an actual being there though it seemed to glow all around. She quickly turned back toward the living room, as it seemed there was not only one presence in front and behind her, but also from the dining room and the kitchen. She was literally trapped by the four separate beings. The more she was feeling and seeing them, the more she could see them take shape.

The being behind her seemed to be wearing suspenders and maybe plaid, and was probably no more than 5'7", but the others seemed quite a bit larger and taller. The whole time that she felt their presence around her she felt a wind moving around at the end of the walkway. There were no windows opened. She could also hear what sounded like unintelligible whispering. During all this she was trying to look away and reach the light on the kitchen entry directly behind her on the hallway wall she was leaning on. She felt as though the presences were forcing her to the floor. She did manage to turn on the light; as soon as she did the room seemed back to normal. It wasn't cold or windy. Her boyfriend had been sound asleep the whole time.

NOTE: sounds like a haunting aside from the 'glowing'. Very unique encounter...Lon

THE YOUNG WOMAN

Location/Date: Hollywood, Florida - April 2003 - 1:00am

Two women came to the side of the South Florida gatehouse where "June" worked as a security guard. They said that there was something strange out by the curb, about 100 feet away, but they didn't know what it was. It was on the road just east of the driveway. The women were upset and seemed to think that something was very wrong. June instructed the women to wait in their car by the gatehouse while she went to investigate. If there were any problems they could call the police on their cell phone. June walked out to the curb and found sitting on the curb, curled up into a ball somewhat smaller than a beach ball a strange "person". With her flashlight June could see a neck and a dark suit. Gently, June touched the figure and said, "Hello!" but there was no movement. Finally as June touched the shoulder, a small woman suddenly unwound from the curled up ball position. She was about 4'8" tall with very high heels on her shoes. She was dressed very well with beautiful jewelry, a leather purse, diamond appearing earrings and long red hair that fell to her shoulders and very large brown eyes, a small nose and a tiny barely noticeable mouth. She appeared to be in her early 20s and appeared to be afraid. June questioned her gently:

June: What are you doing?
Woman: "I'm waiting".
June: "For whom"?
Woman: "A-a-a ride"
June: "Well, who is supposed to pick you up?"
Woman: "I don't know"
June: "Honey, come off the curb and stand next to me"

June put her hand around the little woman and noticed that she maybe weighed about 70 pounds, had long arms and very long fingers. Her pinstriped suit with a skirt looked as though it could have been made in the 1940's. Finally the woman looked at June and asked:

Woman: Where am I?
June: Well we're on earth, and it's the 4th rock from the sun. (!)
Woman: "Oh...."
June: "Can I do anything for you? Do you need the police?
Woman: "The who"?
June: "The police"
Woman: What do they do? (Was her stunning response)
June: They might be able to help.
Woman: No, I am all right. I am just going to wait.

June took hold of her and insisted she come with her to the gatehouse to talk for a while. But the strange woman insisted that she wanted to wait by the curb. At this she sat back down and curled up into a ball again. Reluctantly, June returned to the gate where she found the other two ladies still waiting in their vehicle. June then called the police, which came around and spoke to the woman for 45 minutes but could not detain her. They told June that the woman did not have any identification on her, and no keys, but had some money and small papers with scribbles on them in her purse. They said that they had no reason to detain her and left. After the police left, June went out to check on the little woman but she had vanished into thin air.

NOT TEEMU, THEN WHO?

Location/Date: Kuusamo, Finland - August 1, 1998 - 11:30pm

Two couples were in their summer cottage chatting and waiting for a bath in the sauna. The owner of the cottage, Pekka, went to the terrace to smoke a cigarette. Suddenly he noticed a man who he at first thought was his guest, Teemu, come to his left side. He was a little surprised since the door had made no sound whatsoever, but ignored it. Pekka began to talk to Teemu about events in the cottage last winter and wondered why did Teemu did not say anything and just smiled. He then noticed that the man was not Teemu, but only someone that resembled him. Pekka said, "But you are not Teemu" The man just smiled and walked to his right side.

Pekka now noticed that there were three other persons in the cottage sitting in the living room talking. He was going to ask the man a question but was answered before posing the question, apparently reading his mind. The stranger said, "You know very well who I am, Pekka." The man now seemed to be having difficulty in keeping his disguised appearance. His jaw fell down wax-like, but he manages to reconstitute himself after some facial "gymnastic". When his jaw fell down his mouth was very thin and the jaw pointed.

Pekka now began to think that the man was not from this planet and began to feel uneasy. He kept asking the man who he was, to which the stranger answered, "You are one of us Pekka. You are chosen". Pekka began to walk inside and asked, "Why me"? To which the stranger answered, "You are a good man". Once at the door Pekka asked, "How long did the journey last?" The stranger said 11 months. Pekka resisted the urge to get closer to stranger and walked inside. The others noticed right away that something had occurred but Pekka did not tell them about the incident until the next morning. In spite of what the stranger had said Pekka did not recognize him and he had never been interested in UFOs. He was badly shaken after the experience.

MUFON: Extraterrestrial in the Apple Tree

Posted: 23 Apr 2010 07:25 AM PDT

MUFON witness report - Washington - unedited: Approximately June 1996 I was mowing our very large front lawn with fruit trees all about. My path around a corner apple tree I felt the presence of something. Second time around in the same spot I feel a presence again so I am looking around but see nothing. Third time I am coming up to this corner looking at everything in front of me and see nothing but going under and around the tree I feel a presence again, continuing on and looking back, still I see nothing. OK now I am disturbed, I know I am being watched but I don't see anything. It is my fourth pass I am determined to see what is looking at me. I come up on the corner I feel the presence I pass under the tree and as I look back, up in the apple tree is a small creature being with dark almond shaped eyes, opaque color thin limbs. It was kind of scrunched up in the tree just watching me, in clear view and just watching me. When I first seen the being it was invisible, I mean I was looking thru it, I wasn't grasping what I was seeing. I was scared. I did not finish mowing the lawn. I did not tell anyone as I thought certain they think me crazy.

About a week later around 1:00 am I witnessed a mother ship hovering in the field just outside the bathroom window. 5 acres separated us and our neighbor, I could not see the neighbor's house it was so big. It appeared to be hovering just a few feet off the ground, round and disk like in shape with many windows. It was close enough you could see activity in the port holes of the craft. I turned away for just a second and the craft was gone, I didn't see it leave.

My sense was that the being in the tree was lost or perhaps like a teenager took off and the mother ship was there to pick him/her up. I have always been of the opinion that we are not alone and well now I know that to be true. Of course you ask the question, Why me, why did this being presence it's self to me? I sensed the lesson for me was continue on my journey continue on my search for peace. It was like the being and I had something in common, assuring me that there are struggles no matter who you are or where you are in the universe.

NOTE: not sure if this was a report or just an anecdote...regardless, it's an interesting nugget from MUFON...Lon

INTERESTING COMMENT ON BIGELOW / MUFON

Rick Phillips of The AnomalyMan Listing alerted me to a new comment left at Mysterious Universe last evening:

I do know this about BAASS..In August of 2009 my daughter and I videotaped a UFO and witnessed Greys on the ground outside our home. We filed a Mufon report and the very next day we were contacted by a BAASS representative to arrange a personal visit. One month later a team of two retired LA Police Detectives and an astrophysicist arrived to take our samples and copies of our videos and pictures. This event happened in conjunction with the multiple sightings in the Newman Lake area outside Spokane, WA. We are about 50 miles south of there. Mufon was furious and very angry that we allowed BAASS first access. BAASS assured us that they owned Mufon and they had first access. In any case, all we wanted was help and answers. We strongly feel our government is letting us down. Something is happening out there and no one in authority is doing a thing about it. It amounts to drive by rape, what they did to my daughter. Why is no one from the government doing anything? I watched dozens of Black Hawk helicopters chase a UFO. I watched one of the UFO's capture a fighter jet in a tractor beam. I watched what appeared to be small planes morph into orange balls of light. It is so damn scary and there is no where to turn for help. "They" have been gone over the winter and now "they" are back. Who's going to help us? NO ONE.
