According to the ancient Japanese manuscript "Nihoni" the Emperor Oho-Hatsuse-Vaka-taka-no-Mikoto had gone hunting in the mountain with bow and arrows when unexpectedly a tall man in a strange cap and tight-fitting clothes descended from the sky. By his face and manner of behavior the Emperor thought that he had encountered "God" himself and decided to ask him who he was. The tall man answered, "I am the God of visible people. You give me your king's name and I will give you mine's". The Emperor answered, "I am---Vaka-Taka-no-Mikoto". And the tall man gave his name, "Your obedient servant God Hito-Koto-Musi" (which literally meant, "God of one word. Goodness that sprays evil with one word and the good by one word"). He left his "chariot" (spacecraft?) that was emitting light and joined the emperor in his hunting expedition.

A strange man, a visitor from the sky was encountered during the rule of Emperor AMe-Kuni-Osi-Hiroki-Niro-niha and told the emperor when he met him: "In the past during the rule of Emperor Oho-Hatsuse, your country has experienced strong pressure from Korea and was in a quite critical situation. If after a respectful prayer to the divine being---founder of your country---you will help the ruler who is threatened by destruction, the state will then achieve tranquility and peace will be established among nations. Recently I was informed that your country has stopped honoring the Supreme God. If you will now repent of your former sins, and build a temple to this God and make a sacrifice in honor of his divine spirit...your country will flourish. Don't forget about this."

Local residents observed a strange sign in the sky---a huge star with blood red beams of light. This phenomenon lasted for 7 straight days. It was seen only during the evening. Around the same time a child-like dwarf type entity was found by fishermen in the river Setomi (this river does not exist at present). The dwarf was pulled out of the river in a net. The fishermen kept watch over the strange entity until late afternoon and then threw back into the river out of fear and repugnancy. The dwarf like entity was very strange with a much-wrinkled face and other "shameless" details on his face and body (not specified).

It was reported that a "dwarf" was captured in the cellar of a German monastery. It was very black and did not speak any known language. He was tied up briefly but the rope was slackened to see what he would do. He returned to the cellar where he was found. He raised a stone on the ground and disappeared through a tunnel where nobody was able to follow him. The mysterious tunnel was reportedly sealed with a cross.

#. Location. Woolpit, Suffolk, England
Date: 1173 Time: daytime
This village was named after its deep trenches in which wolves were formerly capture. One day local villagers were amazed to see two very unusual children crawling out of one of these trenches. A girl and a slightly younger boy, they were both dressed in strange clothing and spoke an unintelligible language. But by far the most striking characteristic of these children was their skin color, which was green. Unable to communicate with them, and thoroughly perplexed as to what should be done, the villagers took the girl and boy, who were weeping and very forlorn to the home of Sir Richard de Calne a local landowner. Here they remained treated with great care and kindness by Sir Richard and his servants. But the boy fell ill and in less than a year he had died. Happily however the girl survived and as she grew older her skin's green hue gradually disappeared. She eventually married a man from King's Lynn in Norfolk, a senior ambassador of Henry II according to some sources, and became known as Agnes Barre. During her years in Sir Richard's household, Agnes learned English and was eventually able to reveal something about where she and her brother had come from and the manner in which they had reached Woolpit. She claimed that they were from a Christian place called St. Martin's Land, where it was always twilight (and also where according to one medieval chronicler of this story, everything was green), and which was separated from a much sunnier place by a wide river. One day while tending their father's flocks in a field, Agnes and her brother had been led away by the sound of church bells into an underground realm, and then somehow found themselves in Woolpit.

During a Sunday mass it is said that the congregation saw an anchor descend and catch on a tombstone in the churchyard. The churchgoers rushed outside to see a strange "ship" in the sky, with people on board. One occupant of the vessel leaped over the side, but did not fall, "as if swimming in water" he made his way through the air toward the anchor. The people on the ground tried to capture him. The man then hurried up to the ship. His companions cut the anchor rope, and the ship then "sailed out of sight". The local blacksmith made ornaments from the abandoned anchor to decorate the church lectern.

On Saturday for more than one half hour, four rather scared and separate peasants sighted, from different places in town, some 500 people performing a strange procession commanded by a handsome lady in white robes who carried on her hands a baby. The noisy unidentified crowd walked slowly through isolated streets following an itinerary ending at the San Ildefonso church. The charming woman and infant threw off a powerful light, which blinded the observers and illuminated the area like "noon." The Señora was taller than her attendants and wore a glowing mantle with iridescent colors. The picturesque parade was headed by seven young men in white clothing bearing white crosses, followed by 20 clergymen - in two rows - praying aloud in some unintelligible speech. Right after them went the lady and child with a man and a woman by the sides escorting them. Behind and clustered, came along some 300 men and women also in white garments. Finally ran a troupe of 100 individuals in white armed with lances, beating loudly their pikes with each other. At the tail end of this staggering display, pursued many barking dogs. When the crowd arrived at an open space behind the church, the imposing dame sat herself on a resplendent silvery throne in front of a luminous altar staged with red and white ornaments, while her companions sat down around her intonating chants. At midnight the entire "holy army" vanished inexplicably into thin air. Afterwards one of the witnesses went through the procession route and found no ground traces. Two days later, one of the witnesses heard a mysterious voice that whispered to him: "Do not sleep and you will see good things." Civil and ecclesiastical Spanish authorities cautiously and carefully investigated the odd happening. This bizarre happening was the origin of a local sacred Marian cult that persisted for several centuries.

Noted philosopher Fazio Cardano was resting in his home after a day's work. As he sat in the kitchen area, suddenly out of nowhere seven "majestic" looking men appeared in front of him. He described them as wearing bright flowing robes and sandals and what appeared to be Greek tiaras on their heads. They had black hair and were of an unnatural beauty and appeared to be 30 to 40 years of age. They briefly spoke about philosophy, the existence of the human soul about life and death on earth and basically about the transient nature of man's existence on Earth. When asked who they were, they said that they were men composed, as it were, of air, and subject to birth and death. It was true that their lives were much longer than ours, and might even reach to three hundred years duration. Questioned on the immortality of the soul, they affirmed that nothing survives, which is peculiar to the individual. They remained for over three hours and when questioned about as to the cause of the universe there was disagreement between the men. The tallest of them denied that God had made the world from eternity. On the contrary, the other added that God created it from moment to moment, so that should he desist for an instant the world would perish.

The wreaths were then placed on a silver crown and are still used to bless pilgrims. Around the same time an extraordinary looking woman asked a local peasant from Zlotki for a lift to Prostynia. The peasant didn't know the woman but agreed to take her. But immediately the oxen turned into the marshes and the peasant became frightened. However the woman assured him that they would be safe. Soon they stopped at Prostynia Hill and the woman said, "I am St Ann. I've have come here to worship the Holy Trinity." The peasant stood on the hill praying the whole time.

#. Location. Ozarks Region

In the 1530s and 40s, the Spaniard Cabeza de Vaca and his Conquistadores followed the Mississippi River and came in contact with various Native American tribes of varying dispositions. Upon befriending the Avavares further westward they were told a most unusual tale. According to the Indians, approximately sixteen years earlier the region had been visited by another "bearded" character of unusual aspect. This fellow was called by the Indians "Malacosa" or Mr. "Bad thing" (according to the Spaniards) an accurate appellation given his proclivities. Even though bearded his facial features were "never seen clearly" or where otherwise indistinct or else clouded by a mist. This character "invaded" Indian homes by night, accompanied by a light and an electrical sensation that would make the hair of the inhabitants "stand on end." Apparently paralyzed, the poor tribes-people would stand helpless as, armed with a "blazing brand" or wand the bearded creature would rush inside and perform intrusive surgeries upon its victims. This included abdominal intrusions and taking of intestinal samples, to incisions or perhaps partial amputation of arms and legs, which would then be surgically stitched or otherwise, repaired. The androgynous ambiguity of this creature was not lost on the Indians, for it happened that during this season of visitation, "Malacosa" would appear in the midst of their celebrations, dressed alternately as an Indian man or woman, which raises the question: Was he in a possible quest for genetic material based on seduction? The Indians offered him food but he never ate; they inquired as to his place of origin, and "Malacosa" pointed to a nearby "hole" on the ground and told them that his home was there, in the regions below. At first the Spaniards laughed at the account of the "barbarian bogey man" until the Indians brought forward numerous people who still bore the visible scars of the intrusive or amputation reattachment surgeries.

A teacher named Lu Yu who lived in the village of Yugiu was out standing outside his home under a torrential rain when he noticed two "ships" which were sailing on top of the clouds above some ruins across from his home. On the two ships "which measured more than ten arms each" he could see several tall men wearing each one a hat and multicolored clothing. They were holding each a "pole" in each hand as the ships moved quickly overhead. The teacher Lu Yu then alerted "ten well read men" who came beside him to observe the phenomenon. The ships then descended over the teacher, the ten other men and the men onboard the ships wearing the multicolored clothing, "then passed their hands over the mouths of the well-read scribes who could not speak anymore." At this time another men appeared on one of the ships, escorted like a Mandarin and accompanied by a bonze. Some time later the ships flew away, through the clouds and were seen descending about a kilometer away near a cemetery. When the ships left the "ten well read scribes" were able to speak again. But five days later, Lu Yu died of unknown causes.

At the end of the 20th century, academician and anthropologist Dr. Rudolph Vanzhaev made a stunning discovery. While he was reconstructing the facial features of the famous Russian Tsar Ivan the Fourth (or Ivan the Terrible), Dr. Vanzhaev discovered a diminutive metallic plate in Ivan's skull. The strange artifact, a little more than one centimeter in diameter, remotely resembled a complicated electronic mechanism. The Doctor concluded that this object somehow increased the intellectual abilities of the Tsar but at the same time, caused his periodic uncontrolled fits of anger. The tiny metallic object with sharp teeth-like protrusions was discovered quite accidentally. Dr. Vanzhaev was studying the exhumed skeleton of Ivan the Terrible, attempted to find the physiological cause of his death (later it was established that the Tsar's bones contained a huge quantity of mercury, or quicksilver). Moving his hand along the inner surface of Ivan's skull, Vanzhaev felt a small protrusion. Trying to see it better, he took a large magnifying glass and saw something very small and metallic, halfway covered by bone tissue. The device was similar to an electronic chip used in computers or other electronic equipment. When the device was studied closing, using different kinds of techniques and equipment it appeared to be a miniature transmitter of electric impulses to the brain and the heart. Such impulses, emphasized Dr. Vanzhaev, sharply increased the brain's ability to solve the difficult intellectual tasks but at the same time, created various collateral effects that influenced the man's psyche. The layer of bone tissue that had grown around the metallic device was quite noticeable. This meant according to Vanzhaev, that when Ivan was "implanted" he had been quite young, possibly in his childhood. Ivan the Terrible was born in 1530, so the supposed alien abduction had apparently occurred during the 1530's or 1540's. He became the "Great Duke of all Russia" in 1533 and the Tsar in 1547, and died in 1584. The historic detail in favor of this assumption is that it was known that Ivan the Terrible had the habit of placing his hand on his head, even though he never complained to his doctors of feeling any pains in his head. Another Moscow based researcher Vladimir Alexeevich Smemshuk also mentioned in his books that Ivan the Terrible was under "alien control" and experienced several humanoid encounters at night when he was alone in his bedroom.

57-year old Juan Diego, an Aztec Indian, who six years before, had converted to Christianity, was on his way to a town nine miles away in order to take part of the holy mass. The route he took led him through stony fields and over small hills. In the vicinity of a small hillock, which is known to the Indians as "Tepeyac" and later became the Spanish name "Guadalupe," he became aware that he was hearing an unknown unearthly music. This music was coming from the top of the hill. He looked up to the hillock, to the side where the sun was rising and from where the wonderful singing originated. And when the singing suddenly stopped, when it was no longer perceivable, he heard how someone from the top of the hillock called, "Juan Dieguito!" And when he reached the top of the hill, he saw a noble lady standing there. She invited him to come nearer. Her garment shined like the sun, as if it was reflected by light, and the stone, the rock on which here feet stood, as if sparkled of beams; the glow of her gleamed like jewels, like the most beautiful ornament, the Earth, as if was shining in the glow of the rainbow. Juan Diego fell down to his knees. The apparition once more spoke to him and named herself as the "perfect holy Virgin Mary." She claimed to have come so that the people would build her a sanctuary on the "Tepeyac." She said that Juan Diego was the chosen messenger who should bring this request to the bishop of Mexico City. Bishop Juan de Zumarraga listened to Diego tell his story, but he did not believe his allegations. He sent Juan Diego away with the comment that he wanted to deal with the subject later. Disappointed, Juan Diego went back to the "Tepeyac". When he arrived, he again met with the "queen of the heavens." He bewailed his misfortune and asked her to choose another messenger, preferably someone who was better prepared for the mission. However, the Virgin stressed, "It is absolutely necessary that you go personally and that you request that my Will be carried out." The bishop still did not believe Diego and sent him back and asked him to request some kind of evidence so the bishop could really believe that the "queen of the heavens" had really sent him. Once again Juan Diego returned to the "Tepeyac" where the mysterious woman was waiting for him. He informed her about the bishop's request and the "Virgin" told him to return tomorrow in order to obtain such evidence. He was told to go to the top of the hill where he had seen the Virgin and there he would see different flowers and pick them, put them together and to then bring them to her presence. Even though it was during the winter and frost covered the grounds, these flowers had apparently grown on top of the barren hill. Juan Diego was ordered to put the flowers into his tilma, an upper garment similar to an apron. Then the light figure or virgin took the flowers with her venerable hands, then she put them back into his tilma and she told him that go back with the flowers since these were the evidence. He again waited several hours before he could see bishop Zumarraga. When he opened his white tilma the splendid flowers fell to the ground there the tilma transformed into an omen. Suddenly there appeared the beloved image of the Perfect Lady, of the Holy Virgin Mary. All in the room fell to their knees and admired it greatly. Convinced with the evidence a chapel was built on the hillock.

Tomasz Michaek a man from Giedlarowa was working at a brewery in Lezajsk when he once saw two strange figures interpreted as St Joseph and the Virgin Mary, standing on a forest path. The woman spoke to him, "Michaku don't be afraid. Here you will find my son's glory and experience my help. I've chosen this place to save people. So go to the elders of your city and tell them that it's my son will that a church should be built here in which people would pray for things they need." But the witness didn't tell anybody about it. He thought that no one was going to believe him, a simple man that he was. He asked Mary to choose another person instead of him. She then appeared in a vision again and ordered him to go to the city council and state her will. He spoke about it to Wojcieh Wyszogradow a local priest who was also a member of the city council. They didn't agree to build a new church since the city was small and it already had a church. Michaek himself then built a pillar with the figure of Christ's Martyrdom on it in the place he saw Mary. Soon people began to gather around it and soon a small chapel was build there. Soon father Jan Teolog announced the location to be hollowed ground or saintly. Michaek had another vision in which Mark asked him again to build a temple. A church was soon built at the location.

The craft were long, oval in shape and flattened along their lengths, each with a "strange mast" sitting on top of them. The bay waters began to froth underneath them, giving off a dense orange vapor, accompanied by a loud, unpleasant noise. From one of the craft two vaguely human looking beings appeared. They were described as being dressed in red clothes covered with silvery scales, with huge heads and luminous eyes.

To the great stupor of those present, two humanoid beings, with large heads and large luminous eyes dressed in red scaly combination outfits emerge from the vessels. These humanoids appeared to be connected to their vessels by long tubes. The humanoids spent several hours involved in "strange" work around their vessels. Meanwhile soldiers in the fortress shot cannon at the intruders without any apparent effect.

Three days later, a single vessel appeared near Marseilles over the fishing village of Martigues, and again displayed the same erratic flight maneuvers that had been displayed over Nice. It stopped in midair and two beings got out, appearing to engage in an aerial duel of some kind. The following week there was a heavy fall of red rain, and in the months after churches were packed with worshipers begging to be spared whatever disastrous fate that was about to befall them. While accounts of these events are sometimes ambiguously worded, it is remarkable that so many people in three separate locations could have imagined such strange occurrences at a time when no flying machines existed.

 The local cathedral had on its roof a pyramid covered with lead, on the above date between 1930 and 2000 thunder fell on that pyramid, and it caught fire, exploded, and fell down with a stupendous noise. People rushed to the cathedral from all parts of the town and saw in the midst of the lighting and smoke, a "demon" of a green color, with a long green tail, doing his best to keep the fire going. This account, which was published in Paris, is supplemented by a more complete version printed in Rennes. This latter version adds that the demon was seen clearly by all, inside the fire, sometimes green, sometimes blue and yellow. The authorities threw into the roaring fire a quantity of Agni Dei, close to one hundred and fifty buckets of water, and forty or fifty carloads of manure---to no avail. The demon was still there, and the fire kept happily burning. Something drastic had to be done, a consecrated host was placed inside a loaf of bread and thrown into the flames, and then blessed water was mixed with mile given by a nurse of above-reproach conduct and spread over the demon and the burning pyramid. This the visitor could not stand, he whistled in a most horrible fashion and flew away.

The three men were suddenly confronted with the appearance of a huge bright light hovering in the sky. The light "flamed up" as it hovered and appeared to be about "three yards square". As they watched, the light "contracted into the figure of a swine" and moved swift as an arrow in the direction of Charlton. For two or three hours the unidentified light moved back and forth in the sky between Everell's location and Charlton. When the light finally disappeared, the men noticed to their dismay that they had somehow been carried against the tide back to the place where they had started their trip.

In a letter written by John Lewis he describes the experience of an acquaintance of his: A man lay in bed at night while his family was all fast asleep. Just after midnight "he could perceive a light entering his little room." Suddenly a dozen or so little beings "in the shape of men, and two or three women, with small children in their arms" walked in. The room seemed different somehow. It was illuminated, and appeared to be "wider" than before. The beings began to dance around and tuck into a special feast, inviting the witness to try the meat. This went on for four hours, and in the meantime "he could perceive no voice" except for the occasional whisper in Welsh "bidding him hold his peace." He found it impossible to wake up his wife. Finally, the party of little spirits moved their dancing on to another room, and then departed. Until the man cried out at last and woke up his family, for some reason left unexplained "he could not find the door, or the way into bed."

Several persons (to the number of 15 or 16) having been at a wedding, did after dinner walked abroad by the riverside, some of them walked upon the bank close by the water, others of them at a greater distance, but they all, as they have since reported, saw a cloud rise up out of the water, much resembling the kites flown by local boys. It rose higher and higher until it became a direct cloud in the proper region, and as they stood looking up and gazing upon it, they plainly saw the cloud open, and therein beheld the form and proportion of a tall black man, with a thin meager countenance, who seemed to move to and fro very swiftly, and then suddenly vanished. After this the cloud closed again and within a very little while they saw it open the second time, and then there appeared a man on horseback, who moved to and fro with great swiftness for a very short space of time, and soon disappeared, upon which the cloud immediately (as before) was shut up, but presently opening again the third time, there appeared the form of a very comely and beautiful lady, who after she had for a while moved backwards and forwards (as the other two had done before) suddenly vanished also, and then the whole cloud dispersed.

17-year old shepherdess Benoit Rencurel was out working on the hillside near a ruined chapel and had just finished her rosary when an elderly man in a red robe appeared to her, introducing himself as St. Maurice. He found for her a spring of water that she had not seen before, and then told her to go with her sheep to a small valley near St. Etienne "where a great grace would be granted her." Being a devout girl, she went to the valley the next day. At a spot known as Les Fours she saw the first of a series of visions of a lady and child that were to occur regularly over a period of two months. When asked who she was the figure replied: "I am Mary, the Mother of Jesus. It is the will of my son that I should be honored in this parish though not in this spot. You will therefore ask the priest to come here with his people in procession." A number of healings and miraculous cures were claimed and accepted by ecclesiastical authorities. It is interesting to note that at times the apparition was accompanied by "delicious perfumes" or odors.

Numerous witnesses heard a loud report coming from the sky and saw three tongues of flames shooting down into the fields. This occurred three times in a row. A powerful lighting struck parts of the city causing some fires. Around the same time on the nearby fields a large black cloud-like mass descended towards the ground emitting a loud thunder like sound. From the cloud emerged a huge hair covered figure that ran swiftly across the fields. Several locals attempted to chase the creature but this one was to fast. It ran so quickly that it was able to run circles around the stunned locals. It was able to seemingly appear behind them and then in front of them in a matter of seconds. Those who were able to see it close described it as having a huge multi-colored tail, white, blue, and red.

Ebenezer Babson was returning home late one night when he saw two men step out of his house and dash into a cornfield. When he ran inside to check on his family's welfare, his wife and children were nonplussed by his questions; no intruders had entered the house, they insisted. Babson grabbed a gun and went outside, where he spotted the two men bolting up from behind a log. As they escaped to a nearby swamp, one was overheard saying to the other, "The man of the house is now come; else we might have taken the house." The family retreated to a military garrison not far away, and Babson then sneaked outside, where he encountered the two men again. The following day he came upon them a third time and they chased him into the garrison. Over the next week or two Babson, sometimes alone, sometimes in the company of others, had further encounters with mysterious strangers, suspected to be French-Canadian scouts in league with hostile Indians. On July 14 the entire garrison watched half a dozen of the strangers. A pursuit party, with Babson in the lead, got within gunshot range. Babson fired on them, and three fell to the ground, only to rise to their feet with no apparent signs of injury. As they fled one turned to fire on Babson; the bullet narrowly missed him and lodged in a tree, from which its intended victim subsequently retrieved it. A few minutes later the garrison group trapped one of the strangers. Babson shot him, and the man dropped. But when Babson and his companions rushed to the spot, no one was there. Several days' later two scouts from the garrison observed eleven of the strange men as they performed what looked like peculiar incantations. Richard Dolliver fired on them, causing them to scatter. As sightings continued, the strangers were accused of beating on barns, throwing stones, and other acts. Babson experienced one of the last sightings. Seeing three strangers, he dived behind a bush and waited in ambush---only to have his gun misfire. The strangers gave him a disdainful glance and walked on. Soon after that they were never seen again.

Two men working in a mine extracting malachite and other ore had gone for a brief rest on a nearby meadow. They lied down on the grass and went to sleep. Suddenly one of the men named Stepan Petrovich awoke by a sudden push on his side. He then saw a strange "woman" sitting in front of him near a large stone. Her outer appearance was that of a very attractive young woman with black plaited hair, she had several red and green beads attached to her plaits. She was not very tall and moved with inhuman speed, like "mercury" changing her position numerous times. Petrovich called her "mercury-girl". Petrovich then heard her speaking to someone that was apparently invisible in a language that was totally unknown to him, evidently laughing at the witness and obviously talking about him. Her manner of dress amazed Petrovich, she wore something like a silk dress but apparently made out of malachite stone (?). The witness became frightened, since he had already heard tales of encounters with a strange female entity in this same area. She was called "The Mistress of Copper Mountain". He also heard of the different tricks played on humans by entity or entities, he thought to escape, but she suddenly turned around and smiling said, "So why are you staring at my beauty Stepan Petrovich? People pay money just to look at me, come closer, we will talk a bit". Somehow the stranger knew the witness name. Seized by fear Stepan told her that he had no time to talk, but she insisted and the young man was forced to obey. The stranger ordered Stepan to approach her and at this point he noticed what appeared to be hundreds of "lizards" all around her, off different colors, green, bluish, brown ones with gold spots, etc. "Don't step on them!" The strange woman warned, "They are my army". "Look how big and heavy you are and they are small". She then clapped her hands and the lizards went away. Stepan came closer to her and stopped, but the strange woman clapped her hand again speaking to him in a humiliating manner, and threatening him, "Now you have no place to go, if you step on my servants, you will be in trouble!" He looked down and saw hundreds of lizards gathered at one spot. The female then said, "Now you have recognized me Stepan. Don't be afraid. I will not harm you." But Stepan pointed out that he was indeed very afraid. The strange woman then ordered Stepan that tomorrow once he was down at the mine he must tell his bosses the following words, "The owner-mistress of the Copper Mountain is ordering you, you stinking he-goat (!) to leave the Red Mountain pit at once. If you continue in destroying my iron cap, I will drop the entire copper deep into the bowels of the earth and it will never be found". She made Stepan repeat her order and again told him not to be afraid. She then ordered Stepan to leave and not to tell anything to his companion. She clapped her hands once more and the lizards again went away. She jumped up grabbed a stone and also ran away. At this moment the stunned Stepan noticed that her outer appearance had suddenly changed, he could see now that she had green paws, a tail with a black crest running down her back, but her head still remained human in appearance. She climbed to the top of the mountain and said, "Don't forget what I told you Stepan, if you follow my instructions, I will marry you!" Stepan replied disgusted that he would never marry a lizard and spit in her direction. She laughed and said, "We will meet again later, maybe then you would have reached a decision." She then jumped again and disappeared behind a large rock. The stunned Stepan pondered what to do since he was both afraid of the reptile woman and his boss. But soon he made the decision to do what he was asked. The next morning he approached his boss in the pit and gave him the message. This infuriated his boss, who accused Stepan of being either drunk or crazy. But Stepan remained firm stating that it was the Mistress of the Copper Mountain's will. The boss then ordered the others to tie up Stepan with a chain and to beat him mercilessly. He was then imprisoned deep in an underground pit, riveted by a long chain, and exposed to mockery and humiliation.
When Stepan was left alone he began beating on the rock, causing the malachite to crumble. Suddenly it became dry around him and in a moment he saw a bright light and the lizard woman standing before him, she said, "Good man, Stepan Petrovich. You have honored me, you were not afraid of your boss." The woman then told Stepan to follow her, that she always kept her word, she was going to show him her dowry. She clapped her hands and hundreds of lizards appeared quickly removing Stephan's chain. She then invited Stepan into her realm. They went deep into the mountain. She walked ahead, Stepan following closely. Amazingly Stepan watched as they penetrated deeper and deeper into the rock, which appeared to recede in their path. He then saw huge tunnels, caverns and large underground rooms, with decorated walls, with copper flowers. The surroundings looked stunning to Stepan. The woman's dress also appeared to be changing colors, sparking like a diamond, and then shining with a greenish tint. Soon they entered a huge room with beds, chairs, and stools, all made out of copper. The walls were made of malachite, encrusted with diamonds and the ceiling was dark red with copper flowers. The "Lizard Queen" then ordered Stepan to sit and asked him if he liked her dowry and if he would marry her. Stepan was hesitant since he already had a bride named Anastasia. He answered that her dowry was a king's ransom but he was just a working simple man. She frowned, and said, "Don't hesitate, will you marry me or not?" Stepan answered that he couldn't since he already had a bride. He was afraid that the woman would become angry. But incredibly, the "Lizard Queen" was thankful and appreciative for his honesty and gave Stepan a present for his wife, a malachite box filled with all types of jewelry. Stepan then asked how he would get back. She told him not to worry, that it all will be arranged, and added that he would be liberated from his boss and that hew would live a rich life with his bride. He was then fed various kinds of food and then the "Lizard Queen" bade farewell giving Stepan several stones pointing out that they would make him rich. Stepan then asked which way he should go, the "Lizard Queen" then pointed with her clawed hands at the stone wall and a hole appeared in front of his eyes that led into a tunnel. Stepan followed the tunnel in which he saw many "treasures". As he walked the tunnel closed behind him automatically.
Soon after this adventure, Stepan became rich and lucky and people rumored that he had "traded his soul with the Devil". The work in the mine soon stopped and everything happened as the "Lizard Queen" had predicted. But unfortunately Stepan's health deteriorated and he began "fading away". Several years his dead body was found near the abandoned Red Mountain pit mine, it is said that he had a smile on his face and his rifle was lying nearby. Locals reported seeing a tall green lizard type figure standing over him and crying over his body.

Men working for the famous plant owner, industrialist, Demidov, engaged in finding ores in this region of the Ural reported capturing a strange gnome-like entity, which they found living underground in a cave. The weird creature reportedly lived for a time inside Demidov's canary cage, but it died several days or weeks after it was caught, either as a result of inadequate shelter, or more likely as a result of inadequate nourishment. Knowing about the interest in weird things by the first Russian Czar Peter the Great, Demidov ordered that the body of the strange gnome-like creature be "pickled" and shipped by convoy to the capital of Saint Petersburg where the dead body of the dwarf was eventually put into what was called a "Kunst-camera" (a sort of special museum for bizarre and weird things created by Peter the Great). Hundreds of years later during the 1960's one of the scientific research team members working with professor Dr. V. F. Porshnev PhD (a famous Soviet anthropologist) investigated the story and Dr. Porshnev who was also a researcher on relic hominoids and "snow man" reports, made an inquiry to the museum (despite the fact he had no interest on so-called dwarfs or gnomes). The answer was strange: There wasn't any gnome in the "Kunst-camera" the whole thing apparently had just been an unusual "dwarf-monkey" that was transferred to the Zoological museum in 1936. The researchers were puzzled and realized that Demidov could have hardly fooled Peter the Great by sending him 'bogus' materials, and they also knew that there were no such "monkeys" living among the cold pine forests of the Ural Mountains. Apparently what had happened was that researchers in the 1930s became interested in this extremely unorthodox and inconvenient exhibit and for the sake of "modern science" it was transferred to a hidden repository away from people. Evidently was uncommon in appearance and was not a monkey, and was very difference from Homo sapiens. According to ancient legends, there are underground cities, caves and tunnels under the Ural Mountains where these alien entities dwell on a regular basis.
[Note: Compare this case to the 1996 Kyshtym dwarf entity who allegedly also died after
being captured.]

The creature was five feet long, with a dog-like head, large eyes, pointed erect ears, and whiskers hanging down from its upper and lower lips. Its thick round body tapered gradually toward a tail with two fins, the upper one longer than the lower as in sharks. It had neither forefeet nor fore fins. Its skin was covered with thick hair, gray on its back but reddish-white on its belly. It could "just possibly" have been "some aquatic form of primate," as implied by Steller's "Sea Ape".

A small boy (servant) named Yashka regularly visited the forest in order to collect berries. During one of his visits, he encountered a strange man that suddenly appeared in front of him out of nowhere. The strange man was dressed in white clothing. He took the curious boy into a large "copper cauldron or boiler" (bell-shaped flying vehicle, broader on the lower section and narrower on top and vertically elongated) and sat him on a chair. The alien man sat near the boy on another chair, and both ascended to the sky to an unknown location. Soon they arrived in "another planet" where the boy lived for a year and a half (!) (In his own perception) in a house that remotely resembled the wooden house he lived on earth. At the same time quite a bit of time passed on earth. The alien presented the boy some mysterious "coins" to cure him from an illness and returned him to the very same place he was taken from amid the forest. The alien man then told the boy to convey his "fatherly instructions" to the newly christened villagers in the settlement to "pray better". (?)

Respected local artisan, Alberto Gordoni was walking in the castle's yard when he suddenly disappeared in plain sight, before the eyes of his stunned wife and other witnesses, including the Duke of Zenini and other fellow countrymen. The stunned witnesses immediately dug around the area but failed to find any tract of Gordoni or hollow pits where he could had fallen into. 22-years later (!) Gordoni appeared back at the very place where he had disappeared---in the dominion's yard. Alberto himself claimed that he had not disappeared at all, so he was then immediately taken to a rest home for the "feeble minded". 7-years later the doctor, Father Mario spoke with Alberto there. He understood that somehow Alberto felt that a short time had only elapsed between his disappearance and appearance. Alberto told Father Mario that on that fateful day he had suddenly found himself in something like a tunnel and walked along the tunnel toward a vague white light. He did not see any familiar objects there only "weird mechanisms" totally unknown and unrecognizable to him. Alberto then saw something that looked like a large canvas all covered with stars and "dots" which seemed to pulsate independently. There he also encountered a tall thin human-like figure with long hair, probably a female. The entity told him that he had fallen into a "cleft" (fissure, crack) of "time and space" and it will be very difficult to deliver him back. While Alberto waited for his return, begging the strange entity to "send him back", Alberto was told about "holes opening up in the darkness" and about "white drops" and "thoughts that move with the speed of light" she also told him about "souls without flesh and body" and bodies without souls, about flying cities, where eternally young entities dwell. Doctor Mario was convinced by the witness story, realizing that Alberto had not lied. So he took Alberto back to Takoni, to the location where it had occurred. Incredibly, Alberto took one step at the location and again disappeared in plain sight, this time forever. He was never found. Father Mario crossed himself and ordered the location fenced in calling it "The Trap of the Devil". Apparently within that "trap" time and space flowed at a very much slower pace that than on Earth or in our dimension.

The German poet, dramatist, author and scientist Johann Goethe was himself a witness to a strange luminous object. He was journeying from Frankfurt to Leipzig by stagecoach. At one point the rough uphill track was so treacherous from mud and rain that the passengers were forced to alight and follow on behind, it was then that Goethe suddenly became aware of lights in the ravine below them. Writes Goethe: All of a sudden, in a ravine on the right hand side of the track, I saw a sort of "amphitheatre", wonderfully illuminated. In a funnel shaped space there were innumerable little lights shining, ranged step---fashion over one another; and they shone so brilliantly that the eye was dazzled. But the sight was even more confusing because these objects did not keep still, but jumped about here and there, as well as downwards from above, as if they were animated luminous creatures.

At 0500A, some peasants perceived an enormous globe apparently wrapped in flames, which flew at a high speed with a hissing noise. It slowed down, oscillated, and then fell on the crest of a hill, uprooting some plants on the hillside. It emitted such great heat that it started a brush fire, which the peasants brought under control. By evening, the sphere was still warm. A crowd including among others, 2 mayors, a doctor, and "5 other authorities" had assembled. A sort of door suddenly opened, and a person dressed in a skintight garment emerged. Seeing the crowd, he muttered something incomprehensible, and ran into the woods. Shortly afterwards, the sphere silently exploded, throwing in every direction fragments that burned to a powder. A search for the mysterious man proved fruitless. A police inspector named Liabeuf made a repot to the Académie des Sciences, which did not take it seriously. The crater in the hillside left by the sphere remained visible for years.

 A farmer went into his snow-covered field one night and saw enormous tracks that looked like those belonging to an overgrown wolf. He followed the tracks with a blacksmith for two miles, and they led to a scene of mutilation, which made the villagers in the area quake with fear that night. One snow-covered field was a lake of blood dotted with carcasses of sheep, cattle, and even the farmer's dog. The farmer was found locked up in his house in a terrible state. He wasn't harmed physically, but he was terrified. He had barricaded himself in after witnessing an enormous black animal that resembled a wolf ripping the throat out of his sheepdog. The animal had then gone for the farmer, but he had managed to run into the farmhouse in time. He had bolted the heavy oaken door and hid under a table in the kitchen armed only with a pitchfork. The farmer said the wolf pounded on the heavy oak door, almost knocking it off its hinges. The weird looking animal then stood up on its hind legs like a human and looked in through the windows of the farmhouse. Its eyes were blue and seemed intelligent and almost human like. The beast foamed at the mouth as it peered in, then bolted from the window to the farm.

#. Location. Don Region Russia
Date: March 1796 Time: morning
The inhabitants of a Russian village in the region were surprised to find a large metal ball in one of their fields. It was ten feet in diameter. People from everywhere flocked to see it, and they wondered where it had come from. It could have fallen from the sky, they thought, but there was no crater. Except for a regular pattern of circles etched into it the surface of the ball was as smooth as marble. The village folk tried to move the object but their effort was useless, it would not budge an inch. Then the local drunkard, a man named Pouchkine arrived, he was known as a gambler, even a heretic, and everyone looked down on his ways. But despite his faults, he was known to be very courageous. He was led to the spot. Pouchkine cursed at the object and struck it with his sable several times. Suddenly the crowd around him began to howl with terror; one of the circles on the ball had opened up, revealing a single inhuman eye. Pouchkine sneered and carried on with his blows against the object. He struck it so hard, in fact that the blade snapped off. The peasants fled in fear. Behind them they saw the drunkard and his steed were both becoming transparent and then finally disappear into the air. They could still faintly hear his voice, however, as his angry cursing faded away. Two days passed and nothing was seen or heard of Pouchkine. Then to everyone's surprise both he and his trusty horse staggered back into the village as if drunk. He seemed calm enough, but he soon "flew into a great rage and began to howl" that he was going to put an end to the unholy globe and set fire to it and the woods and everything around it. Everybody trailed along after him to enjoy the spectacle. But much to Pouchkine's mortification, the ball was no longer there.

A Methodist minister in the area had heard tales from his congregation that a certain tree in the woods along the river was the entrance to an underground lair of little people. The few remaining Native Americans who still lived in the area confirmed this story. The minister, in an attempt to prove that there was no validity to the local superstition, went to the tree with an ax and started to chop the huge tree down. After striking the tree a couple of times, a hole opened up at the base and a group of fifteen to twenty small men clambered out and began attacking the now frightened minister. The little men quickly overcame their much larger foe and cut his throat with a flint blade. The minister survived his terrifying ordeal, despite the jagged cut to his neck.

A local woman named Rhona was sitting in her garden knitting when she heard a rustling of the leaves. Thinking of her sweetheart she pretended not to have heard. Then came a tiny laugh and a tinkling sound from her rose arbor. Looking up she spied six handsome little men dressed in green from head to toe, except, that is for a red feather in their caps. Rhona extended her hand to the group and each in turn alighted on her offered palm. Becoming totally delighted with them she favored the six with every courtesy. Suddenly and without warning one of the fairies touched his fingers to her eyes, plunging her into darkness. In this state of total blackness she experienced herself moving through what could only be time and space, But this was more than a three-dimensional flight. Rhona's flight had taken her through a fourth dimension. After what seemed like only a few moments, Rhona felt her feet touch the ground. Opening her eyes she found herself in the most beautiful and wondrous place she had ever seen. Into her vision came lush trees, brilliantly colored songbirds, flower gardens and castle of every description shining forth in gold and silver. Each castle in turn shimmered with diamonds, garnets, pearls and emeralds. Along the streets were magnificently clad little people promenading, resting, dancing and indulging in favorite pastimes. Now, Rhona who noted that she was clad in the same fine manner as everyone else had also become the same size as everyone else. She immediately thought that she could stay there forever but all at once Rhona was once again plunged into darkness, whisked through the air and dropped safely onto the floor of her rose arbor, where a group of people had gathered concerned over her absence. It is said that for the rest of her life, Rhona was guarded by the fairies that nourished her with fairy food. At one point local authorities imprisoned Rhona and refused to feed her, but this did not effect Rhona at all, for she was fed daily by the fairies during her enclosure.

Curious, he walked towards it to obtain more accurate information. The globe then approached to within 11 ft of the witness, it did so at very high speed. It then instantly assumed the form of a female dress, but did not appear taller than a girl seven years old. While he looked upon her, he thought in his mind "you are not tall enough for the woman who has so frequently appeared among us!" Immediately she grew up as large and tall as what a normal woman would be.
