He had just | | sat down on a rock next to a tree to rest when he noticed a very | | strong and pungent odor in the air and heard a low humming sound. He | | next noticed an object hovering near the ground next to some nearby | | power lines. The craft was shaped like a dome and was a shiny | | metallic color. It had several black glassy oval shaped windows. It | | was about three meters in length and a meter and a half in height. On | | one side he noticed some inscriptions, part of which resembled | | "IOIO." From the top of the object there were also some cables that | | were apparently connected to the nearby power lines. | | | | Dionisio also noticed a curious fact. If he moved back about three | | meters he could no longer see the object, but when he moved forward | | again he was again able to see it. Suddenly he saw three figures | | standing next to the object. Two were men and one was a woman, and | | they stood about six feet tall. They were wearing tight fitting, | | one-piece silvery outfits. Their faces were Asian in appearance, with | | high cheekbones, very pale skin, and slanted eyes. They had large | | hands with five long, well defined fingers and their mouths were | | slit-like. They also wore silvery boots. Suddenly he felt something | | strike his chest, and glancing up he noticed that the woman was | | signaling him, and one of the men was kneeling down next to the | | craft. He began hearing voices in his head. Frightened, he tried to | | hide behind some rocks, and then heard the humming sound and smelled | | the pungent odor again. When he emerged from behind the rocks he | | noticed that the humanoids and the object were gone. Investigators | | found ground traces at the site. A mysterious looking rock was also | | found at the site. During the same time others in the region saw low | | flying lights and objects. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid | | Contact Database 1996, case # 3040, citing Lorenzo Fernandez Bueno & | | Iker Jimenez Elizari). | | | | 1998 - Several local residents of Valentin Letelier, Chile reported | | encountering a strange little creature about 50 centimeters tall on | | this night.

Two of the | | witnesses have reported talking to the dwarf, who spoke in a gruff | | voice and told one of the witnesses that he was hungry. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1998, case # 3637, | | citing Paranigma Chile). | | | | 2000 - The 17-year-old witness reported encountering a large glowing | | sphere in a field in Columbus, Nebraska at 11:40 p.m.. The object had | | small protrusions on the bottom. Stunned and unable to move, he stood | | watching the object when a five-feet tall Grey humanoid with huge | | pitch-black eyes approached him. The being stared at him intensely | | and seemed to analyze him. It had small holes for ears, no nose, and | | a small slit for a mouth that never changed position. After about | | five minutes the figure and the object disappeared. The witness | | remained paralyzed for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. (Source: | | Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2000, case # 3795, | | citing UFO Abductions Raw Data Page & UFO Watch). | | | | 2003 - At around 8:30 p.m. two teachers in their fifties had gone for | | a short evening walk across the fields of Barnoldswick, Lancashire, | | England and were almost back home when they looked up and saw the | | figure of a man in the sky. He was dressed in what looked like black | | overalls, and he was descending as if by parachute. He came down | | about 50 yards away behind the last house in the row, so they thought | | he was going to land in the meadow beyond. But when he was only about | | 15 feet from the ground he leveled off and began to slowly | | accelerate, climbing gently and heading off in a northerly direction. | | They watched as he crossed the valley and disappeared into the | | distance. They did not see any means of propulsion on the man. | | Nothing visible was attached to his back and he made no sound, at | | least nothing they could detect. Visibility was excellent that | | evening. (Source: Albert S.
