UFO ‘mechanics’ at work?

77. OCTOBER 9. In the evening, Herr Hoge, a projectionist, saw four occupants of an object which had landed about 69 metres from the road near Rinkerode, in the vicinity of Munster (Germany): he was returning home when he observed a blue light on the side of the road and what he thought was an aircraft which had made an emergency landing. But the object which gave off the light was cigar-shaped; four men, who seemed to be

wearing rubber coveralls, were working under the craft. They were about 1.20 metres tall, each had a very large chest and a large head. Their legs were small and thin.

It was a round machine, about 2.5 metres in diameter, which was standing on three legs. Soon a man came out. He was holding a lighted flashlight in his hand and it blinded us. But we could see that he had large eyes, a face covered with hair and that he was very small, about 1.20 metres. He was dressed in a sort of black sack like the cassock M. le Curé wears.

I applied the brakes and stopped about 20 metres later. We had just got out of the car when we saw a large convex disc which took off vertically. It was about 6 metres in diameter, orange in colour, and it was literally “sucked up” into the sky.’

He felt something similar to an electric shock and then saw a craft which had landed in a pasture about 50 metres away from the road. It was cylindrical, fairly large in diameter and three small people were standing close by. The only light seen was a small reddish light compared to the end of a cigarette. Both witnesses were unable to move. Then the craft took off, and they were able to continue their journey.

It was perfectly motion­less and made no noise. Suddenly it moved horizontally over a small distance and landed behind a wood. Two of the witnesses walked towards it and soon were able to observe the strange craft again. Four little men, about 1 metre in height, seemed to be busy in the vicinity of the machine. When the witnesses arrived within 15 metres of the craft the four entities rushed into the disc by its opposite side. The two men were blinded by a sudden burst of light, first blue, then orange, then red, and the thing took off vertically at a fantastic speed.

98. OCTOBER 11. About two hours later, four persons ‘who were driving near Birac saw two luminous spheres, one much smaller than the other, flying in the same direction.Having stopped and maneuvered in mid-air, the large sphere took a deep red colour, then turned to an intense white with a red aura; both then landed vertically.

They flew slowly one above the other, but all of a sudden one of them dropped to the ground with a dead-leaf motion about 100 metres ahead of the car. Then the witness felt an 'electric shock’, the engine stalled and the head­lights died. The car stopped as the object touched the ground. Incapable of movement, Dr Robert saw a figure, about 1.20 metres in height, moving in the light of the object, then all went dark.

139. OCTOBER 17. At night, an artist who was walking near Cape Massulo, on the island of Capri, is said to have observed a disc, about 5 metres in diameter, which landed on the property of writer Curzio Malaparte. The witness first thought it was a helicopter, but upon approaching the object saw four little beings emerge from the craft.

Blue sparks were emitted by the machine.

All of a sudden the light dived towards them, leaving a reddish trail, and it landed not far from the road, but was hidden by some bushes. Upon reaching the top of a bill, the witnesses found themselves confronted with a bulky individual, human in appearance but only about 1 metre in height. He wore a helmet and his eyes were glowing with an orange light. One of the witnesses lost consciousness. There are four other witnesses who saw the machine in flight from a different location. A third group of independent witnesses in Sanson-la-Poterie saw the craft fly away at tremendous speed. The countryside was illu­minated over an area 2 or 3 kilometres wide. The craft flew away in a westerly direction. The sighting is reported here for the first time.

143. OCTOBER18. At 21.00, in Royan, on road N.150 near Salutes, M. and Mme Labassiere and other witnesses saw two discs in the sky, orange and red in colour, with a sort of luminous bridge between them.

147. OCTOBER 20. In the Lusigny Forest, an oval-shaped object about 6 metres in size was seen at tree-top level by M. Roger Reveille, who at the same time felt an intense heat emanating from the craft (see case no. 123).The object took off vertically at great speed. In the wood, the heat had become intolerable. As it was raining, a cloud of dense steam was forming where the object had come close to the ground. For about fifteen minutes, the heat prevented M. Reveille from reaching the site. When he did, he found the trees, the grass and the ground as dry as in full sunshine.

148. OCTOBER 20.Several unidentified craft manoeuvred for two hours in the area of Saint-Valery and Mers-les-Bains (Somme). One of them was brilliantly luminous and landed in a pasture. Two others were seen near the cliff in Mers-les-Bains. They seemed in communication by light signals with objects in the first group
