Johannis of Raveo, | | Italy saw a 10 meter wide, red domed, disc-shaped object with an | | antenna on top, on the ground across an ice field. There were two | | dwarfs less than three feet tall near the craft, wearing dark blue | | coveralls with red collars and belts. They had oversized heads and | | greenish toned faces. Their eyes were huge, without eyelashes or | | eyebrows but surrounded by some kind of ring-like muscle. The beings | | had greenish hands with eight talon-like fingers. They wore something | | similar to crash helmets. When he waved his ice axe at them in a | | friendly gesture, one of the beings discharged a thin puff of smoke | | or "vapor" at him which knocked him down, and the witness started to | | suffocate, feeling at the same time a strong electrical | | discharge. (Sources: Solas Boncompagni, UFO in Italia, Volume I, | | (Periodo 1907-1953), p. 82; Gordon Creighton, Flying Saucer Review, | | January-February 1967, p. 3; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A | | Century of Landings, p. 192). | | | | 1951 - At around one o'clock in the afternoon, a six-meter in | | diameter, metallic saucer with legs landed on a farm in Voghenza, | | Italy.

Investigating more closely, he saw a very large circular | | object hovering about two meters off the ground. The craft was | | somewhat turtle shaped, and was about 30 meters in diameter. The top | | part of the object was completely transparent, so much so that it | | appeared almost "invisible". The lower part consisted of a green | | platform that had a hollow central section, like a donut. He could | | not see any instruments inside the craft, but he could see five | | occupants inside a well-lit white dome. He described them as short in | | stature, about 80 cm tall, with large heads. According to the | | witness, their heads somewhat resembled those of donkeys, because | | they had extremely long faces and their heads were covered with short | | black, curly hair. They had large round black eyes about 5 cm in | | diameter that were very close together. Their noses were large and | | "potato" like. Their mouths were large and wide, resembling those of | | a monkey, with large meaty lips. On each side of their heads were two | | large pointy ears, like those of a wolf. Their skin was light brown | | in color and their hands had six digits. As the witness watched, one | | of the humanoids made a gesture, which he interpreted as a salute. | | The humanoids wore tight-fitting yellow outfits that went up to their | | short necks. Their footgear resembled pointy sandals, similar to | | those worn by "Gondoliers." He continued his observation, feeling a | | sense of "joy and tranquility." He believed that the humanoids were | | gentle and kind. One of the humanoids seemed to be counting some | | yellow paper-like objects resembling banknotes. The whole incident | | unfolded in complete silence. After about a minute and a half, the | | object lifted up vertically, disappearing from the area at very high | | speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Reports database, | | citing Antonio Chiumiento). | | | | 2001 - Starting at 10:45 p.m. and for the next 15 minutes, twelve | | white objects were seen performing maneuvers over Strathroy, Ontario, | | Canada.
