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

THE GLIDING CREATURE

Uniontown, Pennsylvania - August 3, 2000 - 10:00pm

Five witnesses observed what they described as an alien "glide" across a field. The witnesses described the being as about 5 feet tall with long slender extremities. It carried a brown "staff" about 5 feet long. It was observed for about a minute from a distance of about 250 feet. No apparent disturbances to the area around the being were reported. The creature appeared to glide about 6 inches above the ground, according to the witnesses. Weather conditions were cool and clear with no wind. No sounds were reported and witnesses commented on it seeming abnormally quiet at the time. Crickets and other normal background noises were absent. The witnesses lost sight of the being when they drove a short distance up the road to an area which they thought would offer a better view, only about 75 to 100 ft from where the being was seen. A small knoll obstructed their view as they drove. When they got to the closer location, the being was gone. The witnesses returned home after the encounter. They reported no serious effects from their sighting, although three of them did claim to be very tired the next day.

SMALL BEINGS WITH GLOWING RODS

Gulf Breeze, Florida - January 12, 1988 - 5:30pm

Ed Walters was in his pickup truck on US 98 when an object appeared ahead of him shining a white beam of light through the windshield partially paralyzing his forearms and hands. He stopped the truck to the side of the road. He now felt numb and his arms were stinging. The object approached quickly and now hovered 3-feet above the roadway. The witness was able to grab his shotgun and exited the truck attempting to crawl under it. At this point the object brightened and it came closer. The witness was again hit on the back of his legs by a white beam of light. The object now began rotating and a blue beam of light appeared under it. The beam apparently deposited five small beings on the roadway, all wore some type of shield like coverings had large black oval shaped eyes and carried glowing rods. The beings now walked towards the witness, who then managed to crawl back into the truck and was somehow able to start it, he then drove quickly away from the area at high speed.

"LOOKED LIKE A MOTHMAN"

Loma Linda, California - February 11, 2007 - afternoon

The witness was driving home in the South Hills area when she noticed a strange sight in the sky. She saw a man-sized "something" in the sky. It was speeding along and turning in a geometric spiral downward into a housing area. She did a double take, and parked her car to get a better look. At first she thought it was a kite. Then she thought that it was a "bunch of helium balloons". But the lower it got the more it looked like a man with a jet pack on, or at least some kind of wings on his back. She realized that it was not a kite as it moved in such a way and at such a rate of speed, that it had no earthly tether. Nor was it suspended from anything. It got to be about 100 feet off the ground, when she noticed a few people across the street looking at it too. It finally did settle somewhere in the neighborhood, a few streets away. Another witness mentioned to her that whatever it was "it looked like Mothman".

THE TALL BLACK FIGURES

Mamaroneck, New York - Summer 1965 - night

The witness remembers waking up and seeing a black shape standing over her, looking down at her. She is apparently became paralyzed. She remembers seeing people from all over the apartment complex were gathered in the courtyard. She went out the window into this courtyard and observed an object hovering about six feet off the ground. The people were all in a trance and were being taken up one at a time into the object. Other tall black figures were around the courtyard.

When she was taken inside the craft she was met by two of the black figures and placed horizontally on a table. One of the figures comes to her right side, the other to her left. One examines her with a tube like instrument, which is 12 inches long, and approximately one inch in diameter with a round end, it had a cord hooked to it. She is asked to look at the figure's hands. It has three long fingers and a thumb. She then looks at the face, but can only see eyes, but not well. The tube is then inserted into her vagina. There is no pain. Then a smaller instrument, which looks like a metal eyedropper, is inserted up her nose. She then gets up and looks at the table. It is like cold metal and it has one pedestal for a base. She then steps down through a glowing hole on the floor of the object and is returned to the courtyard. She goes back into her apartment through the window, returns to bed, and falls asleep.

NOTE: there are a different sources to this account...I used the account told directly by the witness. An addendum in another reference stated that the witness was treated by a physician for a severe infection after this incident but this cannot be confirmed. Frankly, this sounds more like a dream sequence IMO...Lon

DEMON IN THE TREE

Tivy Valley, California - Summer 1983 - late afternoon

I was visiting a friend in the country on the outskirts of Sanger, CA. I walked across the road to go pick pomegranates that grew on the edge of an old cemetery. Most of the gravestones are from the 1800's and a are few caved in. On my way back up the road, I could 'feel' something watching me. I looked up and what I saw was unreal & definitely unexplainable. I saw a very large thing sitting in an oak tree. It was sitting in a slumped manner with both wings tucked closely next to the body. It was the size of a man, but looked like a bat, eyes were very eerie. I was so scared but I continued walking, without looking up, fearing it would notice me, noticing it. I don't know what that was, but it was very real & very much in front of me. I walked underneath it as I was passing by to get back to my friends house, it was turning its head watching me pass by. I was so scared, but I didn't dare run.

Are we facing a future of demons or what?

YOWIE?

Lake Dulverton, Tasmania, Australia - January 1987 - 2:00am

After suffering a flat tire vacationer Bill Johnstone and his friend Stella Donohue set up a tent for the night near the lake. They were awakened around 2:00am by a screeching noise. Donohue unzipped the tent and went outside to see a huge creature towering in the water. It had a tiny head, too small for it's body. Its fur was shining brilliantly silver in the moonlight and it was staring straight at him. She screamed for Bill and he raced out with a flashlight. At this time the creature was racing towards them. They grabbed the keys and ran to the car and then took off. They reported the incident to the police. A local taxi driver reported that two boats had vanished on the lake and the wreckage was never found.

Hovering saucer-shaped UFO - Clyde, Texas

MUFON CMS - Clyde, Texas - 1/23/2011: I was in Clyde, wiping down my truck, when something caught the corner of my eye. I turned and saw this unusual shaped thing hovering over the power lines... I reached for my cell phone and snapped a picture of it.

The craft was there for what felt like an eternity, but was approximately a minute. its lower edges pulsed and glowed white. It was completely silent but the strange thing about it was I could almost feel it's presence. It is hard for me to explain, almost like touching a 9Volt battery to your tongue but milder and throughout the body. Almost made me lose balance... As i stared at whatever that was, it just vanished, I mean, it just disappeared... No sound, no trail, no sonic boom, no visual distortions...

I do realize that I live close to an AFB and I know they do some top secret stuff there, but this what I saw would not be part of our Human weapons arsenal. To move the way that thing did, no chance a human could handle the shock without instant death.

aftermath: felt a bit euphoric i guess or it was the excitement of seeing something out of the ordinary... Let's not kid ourselves people... We are not alone.

I was there with my friend who wishes to remain anonymous, for fear of being ridiculed . I am just sending you this photo in hopes that you can figure out what it is i got a picture of. I wish to remain anonymous but feel free to ask me questions if you should need.

I am a big fan of your work. Expose the truth!

NOTE: photo of a flying saucer over double-wides in Texas....classic stuff! Lon

Papua New Guinea man 'eats son in witchcraft ceremony'

ninemsn - Residents of a Papua New Guinea mining town say they found a man with a history of drug abuse allegedly eating his screaming, newborn son during a sorcery initiation ceremony.

Police said locals on the outskirts of the town of Tabubil, in Western Province, woke on Thursday to the screams of the baby.

Beset with the grisly sight of the father allegedly eating his child, an angry mob chased him to the police station where he was detained after a short struggle.

Police said the discovery was too late to save the baby, who died of his injuries.

Tabubil police commander Demas Tapea said officers had detained a man and his wife to assist them with their inquiries.

"It is a very disturbing incident," Sergeant Tapea said.

"The community is upset, angry but there is also a lot of fear and anxiety because there is a belief in sorcery or witchcraft."

Sgt Tapea said the main suspect was known to police.

"Locals are saying the man was carrying out a sorcery ritual, or initiation, to become part of some sort of special society," he said.

"The suspect has a long history of drug abuse and we are not surprised something like this has happened.

"A few years ago, he went crazy in what we believe was due to the effects of drugs," he said.

In 2009, it was estimated at least 50 people were killed that year in sorcery-related murders in sudden or unexplained deaths in isolated communities.

Christian missions and the Australian territorial administration of PNG, along with the PNG government, have done their best to end the belief in sorcery, but strong superstitions remain.

Man plans to build an alien spacecraft-refueling station atop Pikes Peak

csindy - When I heard about a guy in our village named UFO Phil and his plan to build an alien spacecraft-refueling station atop Pikes Peak, I had the same reaction as you: Boy, this list of City Council candidates just keeps getting more fascinating.

Turns out, though, UFO Phil has no political ambition. This makes him one of an estimated nine people in our town not running for Council or mayor. Phil would, however, like to bring a being from another galaxy to a City Council meeting, which would be a first. Unless you count Sean Paige.

Seriously, even though UFO Phil and his alien pals are not seeking local office, odd extraterrestrial life forms are still represented in the at-large Council race. I'm talking, of course, about Ed Bircham, from the solar system Krypto-Kinetic-Kaolinite or KKK, and Doug Bruce, who emerged from beneath a rock in the galaxy Azzholius, where the beings are called Azzhols.

Anyway, UFO Phil — his real name is Phil Hill — wants to construct a gigantic Egyptian pyramid fuel station on our famous mountain. You think the artist Christo has a few obstacles trying to stretch a couple of bedsheets over the Arkansas River?

"I contacted the city of Colorado Springs and the U.S. Forest Service about the hydrogen pyramid on Pikes Peak," UFO Phil said during a Sunday morning phone call. "Initially, they did not seem to take me seriously."

And yet people still pretend to listen when Mayor Lionel Rivera talks.

Briefly, here's the plan, which Phil says is based on secret blueprints and schematics given to him by the aliens: The pyramid atop Pikes Peak will be 755 feet tall and will be built with limestone blocks, each weighing 2.57 tons. Phil says 2.3 million of these stone blocks will be needed.

Phil says the massive structure can be built by just 60 men, which sounds like a lot of work, but I remind you that just last Tuesday, in only eight hours, 386 Colorado Springs city employees, working as one, filled a medium-sized pothole and unscrewed another street light bulb.

But before work begins on the alien fuel station, a few earthlings are demanding some paperwork be completed. I would like to share excerpts from UFO Phil's actual letter to the Forest Service and, more importantly as it pertains to the area of humor, portions of the Forest Service's actual reply:

Dear Mr. Jeff Hovermale of the U.S. Forest Service:

I wish to construct a stone pyramid atop Pikes Peak based on extraterrestrial technology. It would mirror the Great Pyramid of Giza when it was in pristine operating condition some 4,600 years ago.

Sincerely, Phil Hill/UFO Phil

And the response:

Mr. Phil Hill:

The Forest Service must evaluate proposals to meet minimum requirements applicable to special uses per 36 CFR 251.54(3) (pre-application initial screening) criteria. An initial consideration of the pyramid-shaped power plant proposal would likely find the proposed use would unreasonably conflict and interfere with the Forest Management Plan and existing authorized uses on Pikes Peak.

Thank you for contacting the U.S. Forest Service and enjoy the National Forest.

Jeffrey B. Hovermale, U.S. Forest Service, Pikes Peak Ranger District

Because while constructing a hydrogen-producing Egyptian pyramid atop Pikes Peak seems like a great idea, if we ignore 36 CFR 251.54(3), the next thing you know we're ignoring 36 CFR 251.54(2) and maybe even 36 CFR 251.54(6) and frankly, I don't think any of us want to live like that.

It might not even matter, because this week Phil got a new idea.

"I think I can build it without any permits," he said.

A cynic might have responded by saying, "Sure, if you quietly slip our mayor an envelope stuffed with $100 bills before he leaves office!" But I'm not like that and instead I guided the conversation toward alien abductions. I'm glad I did.

"I get abducted almost every day," Phil said. "They seem to take one day off each week."

Which makes it a lot like the mating habits of the Kardashian sisters. Although to be fair, the Kardashians are young and sexy and, well, they're only human.

Not like Doug Bruce. That Azzhol.

NASA sees little risk of Apophis smacking into us; Russian experts disagree

msnbc - In 2004, NASA scientists announced that there was a chance that Apophis, an asteroid larger than two football fields, could smash into Earth in 2029. A few additional observations and some number-crunching later, astronomers noted that the chance of the planet-killer hitting Earth in 2029 was nearly zilch.

Now, reports out of Russia say that scientists there estimate Apophis will collide with Earth on April 13, 2036. These reports conflict on the probability of such a doomsday event, but the question remains: How scared should we be?

"Technically, they're correct, there is a chance in 2036 (that Apophis will hit Earth)," said Donald Yeomans, head of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office. However, that chance is just 1-in-250,000, Yeomans said.

The Russian scientists are basing their predictions of a collision on the chance that the 900-foot-long Apophis will travel through what's called a gravitational keyhole as it passes by Earth in 2029. The gravitational keyhole they mention is a precise region in space, only slightly larger than the asteroid itself, in which the effect of Earth's gravity is such that it could tweak Apophis' path.

"The situation is that in 2029, April 13, (Apophis) flies very close to the Earth, within five Earth radii, so that will be quite an event, but we've already ruled out the possibility of it hitting at that time," Yeomans told Life's Little Mysteries. "On the other hand, if it goes through what we call a keyhole during that close Earth approach … then it will indeed be perturbed just right so that it will come back and smack Earth on April 13, 2036," Yeomans said.

The chances of the asteroid going through the keyhole, which is tiny compared to the asteroid, are "minuscule," Yeomans added.

The more likely scenario is this: Apophis will make a fairly close approach to Earth in late 2012 and early 2013, and will be extensively observed with ground-based optical telescopes and radar systems. If it seems to be heading on a destructive path, NASA will devise the scheme and machinery necessary to change the asteroid's orbit, decreasing the probability of a collision in 2036 to zero, Yeomans said.

There are several ways to change an asteroid's orbit, the simplest of which is to run a spacecraft into the hurtling rock. This technology was used on July 4, 2005, when Deep Impact smashed into the comet Tempel 1.

The Selling of MUFON

Posted: 05 Feb 2011 11:37 AM PST

On Friday, I received a copy of the alleged contract that was negotiated and eventually agreed to by the Mutual UFO Network and Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS).

First of all you must ask 'what was the product?'...well, it was MUFON. "the Seller's existing CMS database and all other data," as well as "field investigative services and all information and material derived from those services, including but
not limited to...physical evidence...photographs, film, data from detection devices...radar...satellite data, ground disturbance site information...electronic information, interview transcripts, any testimony, including recordings..as well as any other item that may be recovered from prior, present and future field investigations [of] MUFON. This is "the Product." Simply, every bit of data collected by MUFON volunteers was now the property of the Buyer.

Another point...MUFON assumes all risks and responsibility. In other words, MUFON would pay all claims, would pay to defend itself, and would pay to defend the Buyer and it's affiliates and customers. Though the Buyer may control the entire handling of a lawsuit or claim, the Buyer would not generate any liability. There is more, specifically pertaining to strict compliance by MUFON.

It's obvious that the contract was written solely by the Buyer's attorneys. In less than a year, this contract defaulted...for various reasons which I'm not going to get into right now. The bottom line is that MUFON seemed to be out of it's element when an influx of funds started to pour in on a monthly basis. Read former International Director James Carrion's recent articles Strange Bedfellows and How To Take Down a UFO Organization 101 for a perspective of what happened.
