The Encounter of 3 Boys with the "Cyclops Beings" Over the Yard. Sagrada Familia, Belo Horizonte, Brazil - August 28, 1963

Na noite de 28 de agosto de 1963, três jovens irmãos, Fernando, Ronaldo e José Marcos Gomes Vidal, encontraram um OVNI transparente e esférico pairando a apenas oito metros acima de uma árvore de abacate em seu quintal. Ronaldo notou primeiro um estranho brilho enquanto o mais novo, José Marcos, estava concentrado em coletar água de um barril. Dentro da nave de três metros e meio, que tinha uma antena em forma de V, os meninos podiam ver claramente quatro figuras semelhantes a humanos sentadas em bancos de uma perna, com a notável exceção de que cada uma possuía um único olho grande no centro da testa. Uma das criaturas era uma fêmea com longos cabelos dourados puxados para trás, sentada perto de um console de controle, enquanto os outros três eram completamente carecas.

De repente, a nave projetou duas colunas de luz amarela, e uma das entidades flutuou para baixo, caminhando diretamente em direção a José Marcos, que ainda estava alheio à situação. Acreditando que seu irmão estava prestes a ser sequestrado, Fernando correu corajosamente para frente, jogando José Marcos para a segurança do chão e ficando entre ele e a criatura. O extraterrestre recuou um pouco, fazendo gestos rápidos com as mãos e falando em uma língua incompreensível antes de se sentar brevemente na borda de uma cisterna próxima. Quando Fernando pegou um tijolo para atirar na criatura, ela imediatamente se levantou e disparou um feixe de luz amarela de um dispositivo retangular em seu peito diretamente na mão de Fernando, fazendo a pedra cair e lançando uma onda de calmaria sobrenatural sobre os três meninos.

Enquanto estava diante deles, a criatura permitiu que Fernando, Ronaldo e José Marcos observassem seus detalhes: um capacete redondo e transparente sobre um rosto vermelho, elementos de um traje elegante de uma peça que variavam do marrom ao branco e preto, e uma mochila de cor cobre. Depois de apontar para a Lua para indicar sua origem e acenar afirmativamente quando José Marcos perguntou se voltaria, a criatura arrancou uma planta do chão, entrou nos feixes de luz e flutuou de volta para a nave, que desapareceu silenciosamente no céu noturno. Depois, os meninos aterrorizados correram para sua mãe, e seu pai mais tarde descobriu pequenas marcas triangulares no solo onde a entidade havia caminhado, deixando as crianças tão assustadas que não voltaram para o quintal por dias.

Esse caso assombra a cidade há ANOS e ainda é muito debatido lá. Uma das testemunhas ainda estava viva há alguns anos, mas se recusou a falar sobre o encontro, pois foi ostracizada pelo resto da vida por causa disso. Recentemente, esse caso foi reconstruído em um documentário da Apple TV.

The Encounter of Antônio La Rubia with the "Keg Beings" that Left Him with Severe Sequelae. Paciência, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — September 15, 1977

​

In the early hours of September 15, 1977, bus company employee Antônio La Rubia experienced one of the most bizarre and unusual cases in ufology around the neighborhood of Paciência, in Rio de Janeiro. Upon leaving his house at 2 a.m. to go to work, Antônio La Rubia spotted an enormous gray, hat-shaped craft, about 235 feet in diameter, hovering in mid-air in the neighboring field, which he initially thought was his company bus. When attempting to flee, Antônio La Rubia was paralyzed by a blue beam of light and surrounded by three grotesquely shaped creatures: beings just over four feet tall, with heads resembling American footballs adorned with a dark horizontal band, stocky keg-shaped bodies covered in gray scales, arms that mimicked elephant trunks ending in a single finger, and just one centered leg, similar to a bar stool, upon which they floated.

Led into the interior of the shiny metallic structure, Antônio was faced with a confusing technological environment, filled with other similar creatures operating a piano-like console and watching a screen. In a moment of desperation, Antônio managed to shout, which seemed to cause deafening pain to the abductors, making their antennae freeze and causing them to fall to the floor. Quickly neutralized and paralyzed again, Antônio was subjected to a session of image projections on the wall showing disconnected scenes of his future, including predictions of himself naked, on fire, and becoming severely ill, in addition to having a significant amount of blood drawn from his finger via an alien syringe, before being dropped off without physical marks near a police station in a neighboring town.

Despite the colossal size of the ship hovering over an urban area, the only other witness to the event was the local drunkard, and no landing marks were left on the ground. In the weeks following the alleged UFO encounter, Antônio became violently and mysteriously ill, suffering from such extreme fevers that he needed to be sprayed down with water hoses by his coworkers, which ultimately led to the loss of his job and his hospitalization.

Giant in El Salvador

I posted this a few years back and wanted to post again.

This story was told to me by my uncle and swears it really happened. He was the only one in the family this happened to so no one else could back his story. I dont know if I believe this myself.

In 1979 their was a 12 year long civil war in El Salvador. My uncle was in the military. He was sent to the woods/jungle with like 6 other guys to go look for milita groups that we supposedly camping out their.

After walking in the woods/jungle for hours, they suddenly felt the ground shake as if something big was coming towards them. He described it like in jurrassic park then the t-rex was coming towards them and the water rippled. He said they thought it was the enemy doing something so they hid.

He said that he was shocked when he saw a giant! He said it was walking in the distance. I asked him if it was just maybe a really really big person like Bigfoot and he said no. It was more of a jack in the bean stalk kind of giant. He said their were trees blocking the view somewhat, but that he could make out that it was like a really big human. He said it was as tall at the tallest tree there. He said he tried to get a good look at it, but he was terrified and didn't want to get out of his hiding when he realized what it was.

He said the giant basically just walked past them. He said they were all terrified and and waited their for a while as they were scared to bump into another one. He said two of the guys suggested trying to kill it to get rich, but the guy in charge told them to stand down. My uncle said everyone thought they were idiots for suggesting such a thing.

He said they walked back to base as quickly and quietly as possible. They told everyone when they got back no one believed them. They were friends with the pilots. And the pilots called bullshit on their story because they fly over the jungle all the time and would have seen such a creature especially if it was as tall as the trees as they claimed. He said all of the guys described what they saw. One guy claimed that it appeared bald. Another guy Said he thinks it had some sort of loincloth like Tarzan.

My uncle emphasized that he didn't get a good look. And that all he knows is that the ground was shaking as if some really big creature was coming towards them. He saw what appeared as a giant human walking in the distance. He got down and hid and waited till it was gone.

I began to ask him things like if it was real don't you think they would have find a body or some bones of something that big. Especially since El Salvador is so tiny in relation to other parts of the world. He responded along the lines of "I don't know about none of that stuff, I just know what I saw that day."

I don't know how I feel about this one personally. This one seems a little out their. My mom said maybe it was some sort of spirit that just made it self appear as a giant to scare them. During the Civil War times my mom claims their was alot more paranormal things going on because of all the deaths that were happening. Alot of innocent people were being killed. My grandma would say if you looked out the window of the house you would see dead bodys on the street.

That wouldnt explain the ground shaking though. Has anyone ever encountered a story of a jack in the bean stalk kind of giant?? This one scared me as a kid because it's so unbelievable, that if he did actually see that, that's crazy.

Bizarre Humanoid in a Flying Chair, Russia,1957.

Location: Shnaevo, Penza region, Russia.

Date: Early August 1957.

Time: 22:00-23:00.

The teacher, A. I. Dubynina, her husband, and small child had come to Shnaevo on vacation. Shnaevo was a small village surrounded by a forest of tall pine trees. In the evenings, after all the day’s activities, they usually rested until about 10pm or 11pm. On the night of the encounter they had spend the night at the local school located across her parent’s house. The school is surrounded by pine trees. Dubynina with her child in her arms went for a walk in the forest, while her husband was still talking to her father. She walked to the pine trees and then back to the gate of the school to wait for her husband. Today she doesn’t remember why but she had the sudden urge to look up at the pine tree tops and saw a hovering oval shaped object, greenish, kind of emerald in color. It was glowing at the edges; the object was transparent and inside she could see a large black chair and a man sitting on it. He had his legs together and his arms on the armrests. He wore a black helmet on his head and black gloves on his hands. Dubynina stared at the man in amazement and then she called her husband in a frightened voice. Her husband, concerned about the tone of her voice ran up to her and she pointed out the object to him. Her husband looked, but the object moved and flew out of sight at very high speed. It did now go up, according to the witness it went sideways. The couple were so dumbfounded that they didn’t move for several minutes. Her husband, who was a former pilot, decided that it had been some new device for studying the weather. Dubynina didn’t talk about the incident for years.

My friend and I are trying to identify what he possibly saw location: Poland, Toruń Date:2023 autumn

This is not a joke or a fictional story we are genuinely trying to understand what happened.

My friend reported seeing something in a forest near a road and a cemetery at around 3:20 AM. The road runs directly into the forest. He was together with another friend at the time, and both of them reported seeing the same thing.

They described a humanoid figure approximately 170 cm tall, entirely white in appearance (the whole body appeared white). The conditions were such that the figure could be seen clearly enough to make out its general shape. The distance was around 4–5 meters, and the figure was slowly moving and appeared to be coming closer.

According to their description, the figure had no distinguishable facial features. They also mentioned a faint glow or soft light around it, described as a kind of natural aura rather than a direct light source.

The figure did not interact directly, and there was no physical contact or sound associated with it.

I was not present during the sighting, but I am trying to help them understand what it could have been.

There is also some local context: there is a reported case of suicide in the forest, and an old cross is located there.

There is also an additional unverified report from a taxi driver who was driving with my friend. During the ride, the driver mentioned seeing something similar in roughly the same area, near the same road leading into the forest. This is not confirmed, but the description was reportedly similar.

We are not claiming anything supernatural. We are simply trying to find possible explanations or known phenomena that could match this description.

Any serious input would be appreciated.

Also, would it be a good idea to investigate the area ourselves to better understand what might have caused this, or would that be unsafe or not recommended?

Edit:

It didn’t look like any known creature or alien. It was perceived more like a ghost or soul-like presence at the time.

Gloucestershire, UK. Humanoid followed me home

This was around 7 years ago, and ever since I’ve been so scared to walk alone at night.

So me and 2 friends were on top of this big hill overlooking our town, you could see the river severn and wales, also everything around our town.

We were smoking weed, playing rap instrumentals and having rap battles and just chilling and having fun. We decided to walk home. At the bottom of the hill you could walk the road way or go through 3 massive fields to get to mine. They went the road way and I was so paranoid about getting stopped by police I went the fields way, big mistake.

When you first walk through the first gate there’s a small forest that you have to walk through to get to the gate that leads into the first field. I wasn’t scared at all, I just wanted to get home and was in a really good mood. Halfway through the woods I felt this feeling, this feeling of feeling really really uneasy, like something was wrong, that something didn’t want me in the woods, I ignored it and kept walking normally. I got to the gate and opened it, and shut it and walked a few steps in the field and looked behind me, didn’t see anything at all but could sense something. I kept walking for another 5 mins and I got home and went straight to my room and was wondering what had happened, never felt like that before. I had a weird feeling to look out my window overlooking my back garden as it was attached to the last field I had walked through to get home separated by a wooden fence.

I looked for a few seconds and couldn’t see anything but then what I saw I will never ever forget, there was this big dog thing which looked all crooked and weird. I’d say looked like a dog that had been ran over and bones broken in weird places. It was slowly walking around the cars on the drive when all of a sudden it snapped its neck in my direction and stared straight at me, I froze with sudden fear knowing whatever it was had spotted me and knew I was looking at it. It slowly moved backwards and all of a sudden the next door neighbours motion sensor came on and the neighbour came out to let its dog out for a wee, when I looked back in the direction of the dog thing, it had vanished.

I have no idea what it could be, but it followed me from those woods to my house. I never walked that way home and never went to that smoking spot ever again.

Anyone else ever had anything like this before?

Leaf Entity" at a Military Base (Russia, 2003) — Detailed Sighting with Drawing

In 2003, while I was on night guard duty at a Military Prosecutor's Office in the Primorsky region (near Lake Khanka, Russia), I witnessed a creature that defies explanation.

The Context:
I was looking out the window at a lit-up area. My fellow soldier was resting nearby; he didn't see the entity itself, but he saw me freeze in shock as I watched it move.

The Entity:

  • Appearance: It was about 40 cm tall (1.3 feet). The body was transparent, like moving water or a pocket of refractive air. However, the silhouette was filled with autumn leaves. It looked like a 3D figure made of leaves, but you could see right through it.
  • No Shedding: The leaves didn't fall off. They were part of the entity's "structure" or its active camouflage, not just debris stuck to it.
  • Movement: It was bipedal (ran on two legs). It ran along a concrete path next to a small metal fence of the same height. It followed the fence line, turned left, and disappeared into the dark.
  • Sound: This is the most important part—it had physical mass. I heard the distinct, heavy sound of footsteps on the concrete, rhythmically bipedal, similar to the weight of a medium-sized dog.

The Drawing:
I have attached a drawing of what I saw. The font and style are meant to reflect the "report" nature of the event.

It wasn't a hallucination or a trick of the light because it reacted to the physical environment (following the fence) and made clear, heavy sounds on the pavement.

Has anyone encountered a small, transparent bipedal entity that carries the texture of its environment? Could this be a specific type of elemental or a "cloaked" cryptid?

I spotted it/the object while it was still in the shadows as it approached. It felt weird right away—just a split second later, and it runs out into the lamplight. Then this even weirder crap comes into focus. It was maybe 3 meters away. I’m trying to make out a face, but I don't see one; just leaves, and the whole thing is rectangular. No head, basically. Its torso was swaying from side to side, and it was running like a dog, but on two legs. I clearly heard its feet hitting the concrete.

It runs past the window while I'm sitting at my desk; right in my field of vision, there’s a window facing the street toward the entrance and the barrier gate. Parallel to that, there’s a low metal fence, like the kind you see around gardens. It’s running, reaches the fence, and continues alongside it. I’m staring at it, completely frozen and shell-shocked. It runs along the fence, which then curves toward the exit barrier; it turns with it and vanishes into the darkness. That area wasn't lit. The only light came from the lamp above the building entrance."

A 'meeting' of six humanoids near Talisay City, Batangas, Philippines on April 25, 1979.

The farmer Mamerto Demetillo later recounted that one morning, upon waking around four to go to the bathroom, he was surprised to see a bright light reflected inside his house.

"I went outside and saw three saucer-shaped objects following each other in the sky about twenty meters above the ground," Demetillo said. He was forty-seven years old and lived on a small sugarcane plantation five kilometers southeast of Talisay, in the province of Negros Occidental.

The objects were moving slowly and descending. Demetillo followed them, running along a path behind some bamboo stalks. About two hundred meters from his house, he stealthily crossed a dirt road and hid in a ditch behind the sugarcane stalks.

"Two of the craft had already landed on the road, while the third hovered and was approaching to land," he said. "It simply descended gradually in a straight line near the other two, and it was the one that was closest to me." The objects were silent and didn't kick up any dust as they landed on a bend in the road. "They were about 20 meters away from me. The area was brightly lit because of these objects, and I was only two meters from the illuminated area."

The objects appeared to be about 2.5 meters in diameter and 2 meters thick. Each one stood on four short legs. "Around the objects were small holes from which flames shot out when they were flying, but after landing, only a bright light came out, spreading like beams from car headlights," Demetillo said. He could see six holes on the sides of each object facing him, each about three centimeters, or a little over an inch, in diameter. "I was lying face down watching when I saw doors or hatches open and two beings emerge from each craft."

Demetillo hadn't seen anything to indicate the presence of doors until they opened, sliding into the walls. As they did so, a small, single-step ladder descended beneath the doors. "People had to duck to get out and went down the ladder. They didn't all get out at once, but gradually: first the two from the first vehicle, then the two from the second, and then the third."

"They were about 1.80 meters tall. One was a little shorter. They looked like human beings, but taller and more muscular. They walked very slowly. I thought they were foreigners." The six of them wore what looked like shiny gray plastic suits, with brown belts, gloves, and black boots. Each one was holding something that looked like a pistol. "I'm not sure they were pistols. They were white and rectangular. What appeared to be the barrel was rectangular, like a ruler, and the grip was rounded." I couldn't see their faces. They wore helmets that covered their heads except for their eyes, and a visor. They had a kind of metal mesh where their ears should have been. These occupants were incredibly slow. They also had protrusions around their necks where their helmets were attached. Their trousers were tight, and their tall boots had zippers on the outside. Their shirts were somewhat loose and had bulges at the shoulders, like shoulder pads. They wore belts crossed over their shoulders that held what appeared to be thin, white backpacks on their backs.

"The six of them were gathered in a circle and seemed to be talking," Demetillo said. "They were gesturing or pointing in different directions and nodding their heads as if they were conversing, but I didn't hear any sound, neither from them nor from their ships, not even when they took off. Everything they did was slow. All their movements, even their gestures, were much slower than those of a human." They had to lift their feet slowly and walked very slowly. It seemed they had to exert themselves more. Upon returning to their craft, they moved just as slowly again and had to crouch down once more.

“I couldn’t see anything inside the craft through the doors, just a bright light. I was very worried the whole time because I was afraid they would see me. I was afraid they would kill me or take me with them.” After about fifteen minutes, the six beings climbed back into their vehicles and took off, one by one. They ascended about twenty meters and then flew horizontally away, flames again erupting from the small holes. They moved slowly, but suddenly picked up speed, and about three minutes later, Demetillo lost sight of them.

“When they flew away, I could barely stand because I was shaking with fear. I ran home.” Demetillo and his wife had ten children, one of whom was a sailor in the United States Navy. In addition to growing sugarcane, he made and sold ice cream and sometimes worked as a lawyer. as a healer, something he had done all his life. He was also a member of the barangay court, an arbitration group. “That morning dawned,” Demetillo said, “I went back and found landing gear marks, about five centimeters deep, along the side of the road. They looked like a duck’s webbed feet. I also saw shoe prints twenty-five to thirty centimeters long.”

That happened on the morning of April 25, 1979, but two weeks passed before Demetillo told anyone. “I had heard about other UFO sightings and wanted to tell someone, but I was afraid no one would believe me. I was afraid they would think I was crazy.” On the evening of May 5, a dance was held in honor of a local saint. Some local officials and Police Corporal Máncio Abrera began telling stories about UFO sightings, so I told them that I had personally witnessed the landing. Corporal Abrera convinced me that I should report it to Sergeant Félix De Asis, commander of the National Integrated Police station in Talisay. Demetillo's story circulated through police channels, and he was questioned by several officers, including Colonel Paterno Lomongo, then commander of the Philippine National Police and superintendent of the Integrated National Police in the province. Lomongo had Demetillo brought to his headquarters in the nearby city of Bacolod.

"I'm not saying what he said is true, but given the circumstances, it's possible this man really did see something," the colonel said. "There's no record of this man making up stories like this. Although he's an ordinary farmer and not very educated, he's well-known in his community. I found no reason to think he was lying to me. I thought he was being sincere in telling his story. When I questioned him, I couldn't help but feel he was telling the truth."

John Jefferson’s encounter of a ufo in Cotner Blvd. 1950. Location: Bethany School Grade. Date: 1950 or 1951

The Ufo was a saucer (possibly 20 meters in dynameter), it had 8 rectangular windows around the dome. It also had a bright moderately interior.

John Foster can see upper bodies of 2 men one in each window (we will call them Lefto and Righty). Lefto is seen at the Left window, he is human wearing street clothes and is somewhat stocky, he is serous and is busy appearing to fly the craft. Righty is seen at the Right window, he is bald slender and gangly wearing a one piece suit. Righty loves clowning around, he jumps up and down and poke Lefto.

About it

So John foster as a kid was at the playground, when this Saucer appeared, he was drawn to it and began chasing it through the neighborhood. it stopped over a car on Cotner Blvd, which in-fact caused the car to have it's lights went out and stop. John foster then got a better view of the Craft and can see a bright interior, he also saw Lefto and Righty. Lefto was busying piloting the craft while Righty Clowns around, suddenly the saucer dipped down to the left, and Righty fell into Lefto. Lefto and Righty scrapped in jest or anger for a while, until Lefto threw Righty back into his window where Righty continued clowning around.

Gray skin, yellow eyes

I’m a pretty avid hiker and have never encountered anything like this before. I’ve seen plenty of bears, birds, snakes, etc., but this was different. I was visiting a Florida state park called Hontoon Island State Park, and you have to take a ferry over to it. There’s a walking trail called the Wet Trail that runs along the river. If you’re planning on going, fair warning about a mile in we found 17 rattlesnakes, so be ready for that if snakes aren’t your thing. At the end of the trail, they have a Native American shell mound. My buddy and I got to the top of this roughly 30 ft mound and were looking out over the river when I turned around and saw a face staring at me from behind a log. The features were human, but not fully detailed. The lips and skin were gray, and it had these yellow eyes. Not glowing, just yellow. It looked like it was hiding there watching us, and then it just went poof, gone in a blink. It scared the absolute dog shiz out of me, and I’ve been searching around the internet looking for similar encounters. Before I even saw it, my buddy said he felt like something in the woods was watching us. It was probably one of the most horrifying moments of my life. The way it looked at us felt like we were prey.
