Not Alone: 10 Strange Alien Encounters

Summary

Ryan Sprague revisits ten close encounters from around the world in which witnesses reported not just strange craft but humanoid beings, from French police officers in 1956 to a man in Germany in 2009. The cases span France, Italy, Australia, Spain, Brazil, the Philippines, Florida, Norway, Illinois, and Germany, and describe entities ranging from small grey-suited figures to towering nine-foot beings. Despite their differences, the accounts share recurring details such as paralysis, humming sounds, missing time, electromagnetic disturbances, and lasting personal transformation.

Key takeaways

• 1January 1956, France: two police officers report a landed 30-foot disc with four dark figures, a basketball-sized glowing probe, temporary paralysis, and a wristwatch that never worked properly again.
• 2December 9, 1962, near Bologna, Italy: Antonio reports two five-foot olive-skinned beings in yellow jumpsuits who spoke an unknown language and pointed at him. Landing impressions were later found in the grass.
• 3January 1973, New South Wales, Australia: an army officer and other witnesses describe a domed saucer with portholes and occupants pacing their car for 15 miles. Researcher Bill Chalker interviewed them, but the Navy reportedly denied knowledge of the event.
• 4July 10, 1976, Escalante, Spain: a nine-foot 'clumsy robot' humanoid was seen walking and then vanishing, reportedly also witnessed by the town's mayor.
• 5July 11, 1978, São Paulo, Brazil: Amalia reports two hovering three-foot beings at her door, paralysis, and a landed oval craft.
• 6April 26, 1979, Talisay, Philippines: farmer Mamerto Dio watched six beings exit three craft during a regional UFO wave. Two encounters from 2009 (Hamar, Norway, with missing time and the book 'Du Er Meg'; and Bad Neuenahr, Germany) are also covered.
