Hi All
This is a continuation of my thread in the A & U forum. I thought I’d start another in The Gray Area so that members can chime in with their
encounters as well and I will continue to post encounters from ufo archives. Mostly I go to the ufoinfo.com site and look through Mr. Rosales’
incredible listings. The encounters below are gleaned out of hundreds/thousands of reports so definitely I would recommend a visit there to browse.
Please make note of the dates of some of the encounters, many were long before Spielberg, etc, but all are truly high strangeness of the first order.
The phrase, "Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction" definitely applies here.
Enjoy,
STM

Location. Alastaro, Finland
Date: end of August 1914
Time: about noon
A 10-year old boy, Arvo Kuoppala was sitting in the living room of a farmhouse with his grandmother, Maria Falt, when suddenly it became dark outside
like an eclipse of the sun, and a loud blowing noise could be heard. Then a bright wall of light came from the east and soon after a large shining
globe became visible. The globe approached the house and stopped outside the window, after which, an oval window opened on its side through which the
top part of two male beings could be seen. The larger one of the beings was in the middle of the oval-shaped window, the second was more to the side
but also well visible.
Their heads were large in comparison to their bodies, the faces were broad and angular, but the eyes appeared friendly. The being that was standing on
the side was more midget-like and looked "ugly". Arvo became terrified by the thought that the men could come in through the window, but his
grandmother assured him that they would not, that they only had "something" to say. The larger humanoid now began to smile and started to speak. His
lips and face moved as if he was speaking but no voice was heard. Arvo exclaimed with excitement, "He is talking, he is saying something" and
immediately after the creature ceased talking and the face abruptly disappeared inside the globe, although no movement could be seen when the oval
opening closed.
After a moment a loud "thump" was heard, and then a bright flash and the object rose to into the sky and vanished towards the west with great speed.
The observation had lasted only some minutes, but Arvo felt tired and went immediately to sleep, waking up later in the evening. His grandmother seems
to have anticipated the event and she later told Arvo that the strangers were not from heaven, but from a distant place, and the globe was intended to
travel short distances and that it had come from a "sky" ship to which it had also returned.
Of the beings she said that they had large heads and were much more intelligent than humans, but somehow were related to us, and visited now and then.
It seems clear that she had a lot of information about the humanoids and she claimed to have made an observation by herself years earlier (no details
on that).

J. L. Buick & another prospector were startled by a small brown man saying "Peace be with you, my friends." Sitting on a patch of sand was a silvery
round object nearly 100 ft in diameter, with central dome & a small conning tower; no wheels underneath. Around it was other small men in brown
picking flowers, pebbles, etc, & some mining a rock outcrop. The occupant told the witnesses they were from another planet, which had secretly been
keeping tabs on earth for over a hundred years; they had learned English via spies working in a US circus. The craft rose silently & then took off.
Next day it came back, & they were given a tour inside; 5 concentric saucers with diminishing air pressures, the outermost being evacuated. As to
lift, "gravity is only a different type of magnetism," so it can be controlled by an electromagnetic drive; they can do 9000 mph, and have
artificial gravity inside the saucer. Rockets, they were told, had failed for space travel.

Location. Rural Alabama
Date: July 1939
Time: daytime
A retired FBI agent said that while investigating unusual reports concerning a fortuneteller and military secrets he was sent to the above location to
investigate the facts. Upon arriving at the residence the agents found a woman sitting on the front porch. The agents approached the bottom steps and
identified themselves. They told her that they were going to ask her several questions. She smiled and said yes but told them she was not a
fortuneteller and she could read their minds. She said she had been “reading minds” for a very long time.
When asked where she was from, she replied, “Another world.” She was asked what she was doing on Earth and replied that she was guarding something
that did not concerned humans. The agents decided to take her in for questioning but she told them she had not intentions of going with them. The head
agent ordered one of the men to escort her to the car but as he was walking up the steps of the porch he suddenly began trembling and fell to the
ground. She remained sitting and told the agents that if they made any further attempts none of them would leave from there alive. They agreed and the
agent on the ground got up unhurt.
Before leaving, the agents asked for proof that she was indeed from another world, she agreed and told them to have their superiors pick an area of
100 square miles and to put markers around it, and to make sure no airplanes flew over the area. The agents left and reported the strange encounter to
their superiors. They strangely agreed to do exactly what she told them to. Later an internal excursion into the deserted area that was picked for the
“proof” revealed that it had been completely devoid of life, including birds, plants, etc. The agents were told to forget the whole thing and to
never attempt to contact the strange woman again.
