 I. INTRODUCTION
The fall of 1973 saw one of the largest and most concen-
trated waves of UFO reports in history. Nearly all of these
reports came from the United States, and most of these from the
southeastern part of the country. Like previous waves, this
one had not merely a large number of reports of strange objects
but also many sightings which have a high rating on J. Allen
Hynek's Strangeness/Probability scale (1). But unlike previous
waves, this one may have been unique in the sheer quantity and
variety of cases with a high degree of Strangeness, i.e., close
approaches, landings, physical traces, angel hair and electro-
magnetic effects.

Many well documented and now famous cases occurred during

the fall wave, including the Pascagoula, Miss., abduction, the
Coyne helicopter encounter over Mansfield, Ohio, the Wedekind
Park, Mo., incident where a trucker's glasses were melted by a
UFO and the Pascagoula underwater UFO (2) . While scouting some
of these reports for an NBC White Paper, free lance author
Ralph Blum and his wife, Judy, became believers in UFOs and
wrote about them in a book (3). I highly recommend their book
to anyone interested in this wave.

But the strangest reports from 1973 were of humanoid

entities often seen in association with UFOs. I recorded 70
reports of this type during the 5 months from August through
December, 1973. Of these, 55 took place in the continental
United States, 36 in October and seven on a single day, Octo-
ber 17, with two more occurring on the night of October 16.
This represents the largest number of humanoid reports from one
country since the famous French wave of 1954.

Hovreve r , t h e anth:ropoid rE~po~ct:.s cannot, I feel, be

ignored despite t.he stron.g c~mo·tional distaste that many
researchers have for them. The large number o £ these re.port.s

seem to be ar som.e relationship to the UFO wav-1.:: its,a1 f. For

invo lving a hairy , ape-like being inside an il luminated struc-

kinds of reports during 1973 is needed; the activi ty du ring that
looked in the future.

l.o..-nc.
.S:'" ' three olde:r ones whi ch ;,.;eem t.o have s~cood th{?: test of
time as well - documented r epor ts from credible witnesses. These
are Villas- Bo as {1957), the Hills (196 1 ) and Shirmer ( 1967).
These t h r ee cases a nd the 1973 a bd uc ti o n r eports are presen ted
in ~.!:'ab 1. e 2 w.i th some 12t: sent:i.a:I da ta . Th is is not to say that
such "classic" older cases as da S ilva (5 / 4/69) or the Silveira
inciden t s at It aperuna , Brazj.l, in 19 71 , or rec ent fascinating
cases as Higdon (10/25/74} or Diaz (l/5 /75) a re not important .
I have chos e n the three above because they a.re .l~epre-::scnt.:tti '.re

of very well-docuinent.ed cases and the credibility oE th(:~

witnesses is now accepted by nearly all resea rchers af ter

independent:

the Hills! story, a s we sha ll see.

The Patterson account is a very inte resting case involv in g

C. Extenders

In reviewing the abduction cases, I was surprised to

find an affinity between the Shirmer and Llanca reports
concerning the alleged use by the UFOs of what I call an
~extending device" to draw power from power lines and bodies
of water. I uncovered three other reports d uring 1973 involving
such extenders, and my files turned up four older cases of this
nature. The aspect of appendages repo rtedly observed on UFOs
is very important to the study of the phenomenon because clear-
cut physical structures are de sc ribed detached o r extended fro m
the o bject i tself. Like the r epo rts of occupants, the alterna-
tive explanations ar e minimal; the witne ss either saw something
simila r to what h e is reporting or h e is l y ing or halluci nating.

The Schirmer acco unt is des cr ibed in some de tail in

Ralph Blum's recent boo k, Beyond Earth: Ma n's Contact with UFOs . ( 32}.
The following is e xtrac ted from Blum's review o f an hypnosis
sessi on between Shi rmer and Loring G. Williams on June 8, 1968,
six mo nths after t he abduc tion.

SCHIRMER : He said I should look out o ne of the portholes .

He push e d a button. I saw a n antenna-like thing move down
and around to where it pointed at the power l ine . He mus t
have pushed another butto n or something because t here is a
sudden whit e spurt o f electrici ty . It s hot out o f the
e l ectrical line and went right i n to the ti p of the antenna .
He sa id for me to look a t the dials on this one gaug e. They
registered comp l etely full, way o v e r to the side. He said
that they didn ' t take much elec tricity, but t hey have a
pr oblem storing it so t h e y t a k e i t fr om our power lines.
Later , he put the elec tricity bac k in the power l i n e and
the gauge went down again.
-42-

WILLIAMS: Why extract small amounts of electricity from

power lines?

SCHIRMER: When they land, an invisible force field is

thrown around the ship in a circular pattern. He said that
the electromagnetic field is a defense mechanism.

WILLIAMS: Did they mention anything about water?

SCHI&~R: They asked about the Lincoln City Water Reser-

voir, which is just down the hill. In some way which I
do not understand, t h ey draw a type of power from water.
Thi s i s why we see them over rive rs, lakes and large
bodies of water.*

The Buenos Aires, Argentina, newspaper "La Nacion"

quoted Llanca as saying that during his time on board the UFO
it hovered over a power li ne , placed a cable on the line and
another in a small lagoon "appa rently to take on electrical
power." "La Nacion" report ed a sharp and unexplained r ise i n
power consumption at about the time o f the inciden t (33).

Of further interest is a sighting made a f e w days later

on November 2, at 11:15 a.m. at the Commandante Espora Naval
Airbase at Bahia Blanca. A round, luminous UFO hovered at an
estimated 14,000 ft. for 20 minutes, then sped away at high
speed (34). The National Tattler repo rte d the UFO was tracked
with sophist ica ted electronic tracking equipment" (35 ) •

Besid es the Llanca case, two cases from the Fall wave,
on October 4 and December 13, involved extenders. In the
former is Report 15. Gary Chopic observed a strange object

*A well established element of the phenomenon is the repo rted

series of sightings, or concentrations, of similar UFOs ove r
power lines and bodies of water, for instance, the concentra-
tio ns in Exeter, NH, in l ate 1965 and around the Wanaque, NJ,
Reservoir in 1966.

that swayed "like a boat a t anchorv t en feet o ff the ground

and was 80-100 ft. away . From t he bo ttom of the UFO extended
a hose-like object abou t e ight f t . l o n g and one foot in diameter
that didn't quite reach the g r cund. A silver-suited be ing was
seen crawling around the obj ect (it is not clear whether the
"pilot" was on the ground or o n the cr;'l ft) . The report was
supported by a woman who lat e r c al led Chopic, saying that she
and her husband had seen a similar object in the same loc ale
one week before (36).

On December 13 at Brade nton, Flor ida, at a bou t 9 : 00pm

Patrick Thrush, 16, saw an o bject c om ing down t h e Braden River.
His car headlights refle c te d o ff a s ilv ery UFO hov erin g 2 0 f e et
ov e r the water about 35 feet from shore. A tube ang l ed in t o the
water from the object. When he used his st r obe to t ake a p ho t o -
graph, the tube straightened up and began r etr acting . When th e
tub e disappeared int o th e UFO, it headed towards Thrush a nd he
heard "several loud cl a nk s '' a nd a splash. The object de sce nded
to sev e n fe e t over h i s ca r ' s hoo d; he heard s omet h ing h it the
car, whe r e upon t h e UFO r et r e ated and t ook o ff r ap i d l y . Thrus h

of the photos ( 3 7) . ~hi s r eport is suppo r ted by two o t h e r p e ople
who s aw a similarly lig hte d o b jec t in the same are a at about the
same time.

 -44-

Accompany1ng th8 elongati on o£ the ·t ube, I heard a

faint. s o;.md, just like t he sotm.d of a cicada, esp. of
the kind which emits the sound like "Hin-Min-Hin . . . ,"
but the sound was not s o monotonous and appeared to
be lowering its pitch . .. ( 38)

T">'70 of the pre-1973 cases occurred in 1965. The first

happened in July and was reported in Flying Saucer Review (39).
John Hembling and a companion we re exploring for a mining company
in a mountainous country 70 miles north of Hazleton, B.C., Canada.
At about 10:0 0 am they saw a silver, reflecting object over a
ridge below the m. It was disc-shaped~ about 50 feet in diameter
and a half mile away. It exhibited a dome and possibl y windows.
I quote from the FSR account:

.. . the obj e ct moved s lowly across the ridge until it was

above a small g lacial l ake, barely more than a pond. Hover -
ing there an ins tant , it the n descended t o less than SO f e et
above the water . Again it hovered and , to the men's furth er
amazeme nt, lowered a pipe-like instrume i·,t from its unders ide
i nto the wa t e r.

'At first we thought it was s omething like a rope-ladder,'

Hembl ing said, ' but it didn't just drop down. It came ou t
smoothly and steadily as if under mechani ca l control .'

During th i s procedure the observers were c o nscious of a

h~~ing sound from t he object, 'like a qui e t electric motor.'
Wi t h its append age in the lake, the disk then rotated slowly
l i ke a wa t erborne t o p until its 'windows' fa ced the two men.

'We had a distinct feelin g it knew we we~e t here,' Hembling

sa id .

After r emaining in that position for abo ut e ight minutes - as

the men judge d it - th e ob j ect withdre w its ' pipe ' as carefully
as i t had l owered it.

'It climbed slowly, then all of a sudden it was o ff,' Hembling

s aid. 'It shot o ver the ridge, made a sharp turn without
s kidding and ·w-as out of sight in about 20 seconds . We figur ed
it had go n e 20 or 25 miles by the time it disappeared.' (Thi s
a spect of sudden, high spe e d dep arture after the extender is
retracted i s common to mos t of the other r eports h e re.)

Hemb l ing's companion took numerous pho tog raphs during the rather
 -45-

long sighting, but Hembling never saw them since he lost contact
with him soon after the sighting.

1965 was also the year of the famous concentration of low-

level sightings in the Exeter, N.H., area. Many of these involved
UFOs hovering over power lines in the area, pare of an important
intersection in the New England power grid. John Fuller reported
in his book Incident at Exeter that he interviewed one witness who
saw a UFO with an extender (40). Sometime before November 8
Joseph Jalbert observed a reddish-cigar-shaped object over some
power lines. After hovering a while, it released a red-orange
disc which slowly and erratically ("falling leaf" motion?) moved
to within several hundred feet of the wires. The disc then
slowly descended to only a few feet above the lines, whereupon
i t extended a silvery pipe-like object to touch the wires,
remaining for more, than a minute. It then retracted the pipe
slowly, took off at high speed and merged with the "mother ship.''
Jalbert's mother reported a similar sighting 20 miles away--
there the extender was reddish in color.

The Great Northeast Blackout occurred on November 9, 1965,

concurrent with the Exeter sightings and a general wave 1n this
country. There are several reports to support the theory that
the Blackout was caused by UFOs. A rash of blackouts commenced
in late 1965 and extended into 1966. Another wave took place in
the Spring of 1966 along with a mini-humanoid wave in the U. S.
A few months prior to the Fall, 1965 U. S. wave, another human-
oid wave occurred, mostly involving South America.

During the Spring , 1966 wave there was a very similar

case to the one above, involving smaller discs being detached
from a mother ship to hover over power lines. On May 4, 1966,
J. Viggiano observed a large amber disc discharge three smaller
-46-

discs, which desce nded and hov ered o ver pcw~r l1nes f or several
minutes . The di scs then retm::ned t.;.o the large object. Apparently
no contact 'tlw"as made (or was t.he wi tness too far away to see a
thin tube?). This occurred in the Riverhead-Hampton Bays area of
Long Island, N.Y. (41) *
Va llee lists a very o ld ~ but fascinating, case (August
1914) that happened on Georgian Bay in Canada {4 3 ). Eight
peopl e saw a sphere on the surface of the water with at least
five beings on a deck on the object , Two of them were plungin g
a hose in the water. Upon noticing the witnesses, the craft
shot upward.

D. ~~tomob il e s and Maj o r Highways

A cursory look at the 1973 wave humanoid reports shows

t h a t the witnesses involved in nearly half of the c ases were
e ith e r in or near their autos d uring the sighting. And in mos t
of thes e cases the witnesses were on a major highwa y at the
time, some times in broad dayli gh t with other cars around. 'I'his
beh avior seems bold even when we consider that this wave was
centered in the U. S., with its well-known love of the a utomo-
bile. No equivalent correlation exists with autos and major
highways during the 1954 Frendh wave, although s o me autos,
motorbikes and bicycles were involved on roads and highways.

The 1973 reports involving autos are indicated in Table

1 by the keyword "VEH" in C·olurnn 17. Of the 70 wave reports, 31
are of this type. Of t hes e 20 oc curred while the witness was

*Keel reports a similar sighting also on Lon g Island on May 2, 1 966.

Ov~r the McKay Radio Towers, witnesses observed a large white UFO
wh1ch exte nde d two re d r o ds that touched the towers. Is t h is the
same case Yeported above ? (42)

travelling on a "major" highway. Here I define a maJor highway

as a state or federal highway that has a number clearly identi-
fied with it. Figure 2a shows the time distribution of all
VEH reports where the time was reported. For comparison the
same type of plot is included for all of the 1973 wave cases
where the time was given. These are polar plots of 24 hour
timei each vertical hatch equals one report.

It lS evident from Figure 2 that a peak in both distribu-

tions occurs between 9 and 10 pm, a result not coincide nt \lith
American driving habits, which are mainly diurnal. In fact,
in both plots there is a distinct absence of points in the
diurnal period between 6:00 am and 5:00pm. See Chapter V~D

for a further discussion of the time distribution.

In half, or 15, of the v~H cases, only one humanoid was

seen. No UFO was seen in nine of these reports, and four of
these involved only one being.

I noted earlier that one of the connections between the

abduction cases of Table 2 and the 1973 humanoid reports was
that the witnesses were in or near vehicles. In one of
the two abduction reports where a vehicle was not directly
involved, Pascagoula, an interstate highway was within view
from the site. As I mentioned in the three earlier abduction
cases, the witnesses were captured after electromagnetic
effects were apparently used to halt their vehicles. In three
other 1973 reports where abductions might have been attempted,
the witnesses were driving cars at the time. These are out-
lined below.

In Report 41 Lyndia Morel felt that her eyes were pulled

toward the UFO and that it was taking control of her body,
 -49-

drawing her toward it. She was so certain of capture that she
stopped the car and ran to a nearby house for help ~4 >.. Also,
as with some of the actual abductions, this case involves a
possible memory loss. (The occupant which Mrs. Morel saw in
the UFO had features previously reported in this type of case.)

The Morel report is especially similar to the Patterson

case and the Ohio case in Table 2 in the description of a
memory loss followed by a sudden realization by the witness
that her vehicle is moving at high speed on the highway. Although
Patterson' s description of his alleged capture is vague, he
reported that the next event he remembered (at least remem-
bere d clearly) was travelling down Highway 10 going 90 mph (45).
Patterson's capture was two weeks before the Morel encounter.
It was also only 40-80 miles from Reports 16, 17 and 19.

In the Ohio cas e (13C) the witness initially only

remembered losing consciousness while travelling at 70 mph
on I71, and when he r e gained consciousness he was driving at
85-90 mph. It was during this interval that his alleged ab-
ductio n took place (46).

In. Report 37A Brian Scott and hi s babysitter Jeani e

observed an object with blinking lights on the bottom a f ew
hund red feet off th e g r ound. The vague report states that the
two f e lt their minds somehow lifted up to the craft, then
returned. A period o f about l~ hours was unaccounted for (47) .

Report 46 describes the encounter of a young man in his

car with a UFO hovering low over the road. Tall, thin human-
oids were visible behind a window. Some liquid dropped from
the UFO and caused paint on the car to blister (48). This
sighting occurred two weeks after the Morel encounter.

 IV. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HUMANOIDS

In this section I describe some of the reported physical

characteristics of the humanoids in two general categories:
the association of salient features observed during the abduc-
tion cases, and important characteristics of the 1973 wave not
observed in the majority of the abduction reports. The first
part discusses these categories: height, grouping (or n~ber

of humanoids), color and texture of uniform or skin, eyes,

claws and ability to float. The second describes such features
as flying ability , silver suits, robots and sampling activity.
I emphasize that these categories are not meant to be exhaustive,
but invo lve featur e s that have been reported with some consis-
tency in th e past.

A. Features of Abduction Cases - Height

In his anal ys is of humanoid reports through 1960, Vallee

found that they fell into three general categories: the par-
ticular physical and behavioral characteristics of each class
seemed to be a function of the height of the entities (49).
The three c lasse s were "Giants," very tall (app. 7 feet), often
very ugly individuals, "Hen," of normal or slightly shorter
s tature ( 5-6 feet) and "Dwarfs" measuring about 3~ f ee t in
h eight, often seen in "divers' suits." Most of the reports
Vallee considered were split between the "normal" Men and Dwarfs,
but during the 19 5 4 French wave, observations of Dwarfs pre domi-
nated.

It is interesting that if one follows Vallee's classifi-

cation, seven of the groups of entities reported in the
abduction cases (Table 2) would be Men of slightly small stature
between 4~ and 6 feet tall (Patterson reported no hei g ht for his

-51-
-52-

creatures, and Scott said only that they were short). In fact ,
the individuals reported in these cases are remarkably similar
in several key aspects as we will see.

During the 1973 wave, 45 of the reports gave height

data. As with the French cases, the majority (27) involved
dwarfs, with 14 of normal stature and five of the giant class.*
In four of the 1973 wave abduction cases, "normals" were involved
( if the slightly smaller entities in 20B are included). In h alf
of the 14 cases invo lving normals, the entities seemed to
resemble the "classic" pilot of Vallee (09B, 13, 13C, 15, 29A,
39, 40).

In Reports 17, 22 and 30 the beings were reported to walk

like robots, which could be the result of a clumsy "earth-suit"
covering a "normal," even in the case of the Pascagoula enti-
ties. The other reports, however, are not consisten t. In
Report 21 the being had claw-like hands and blinking eyes; in
25 he looked like a catfish with flipper feet, webbing between
the legs and feather-like objects on his back. In Report 31A
the entities had long arms, pointed noses and ears and made
easy, l eap ing movements. Report 49 lacks details of the
creatures, if indeed there were any.

Groupings

Vallee reported in his study that the "Hen " " ... are
frequently in groups of more than three ... " ( ). For the
1973 abduction reports the number observed varied from three
to six (see Table 4). However, only one or two entities were

*The giant class would, of course, greatly increase if we

included the anthropoid reports from 1973. The
here are reported to be 7 to B feet tall. But, as stated
previously, their relationship to the UFO phenomenon is
unknown at present. The above total is 46; two sizes were
involved in one report.
31A Oct . 20- 21, El Yunque Mtn., Puerto Ri co

-5 3-
-54-

reported in nine of the other eleven cases of "Men" in 1973.

In the two remaining cases {30 and 31A), the entities were
discovered by people searching for UFOs. It is conceivable
that intentional contacts with humans where abduction is the
purpose involve a crew complement of typically 3 or greater ,
whereas intentional contacts with capture not the purpose
involve a minimum number of "Men," p ossibly for security
reasons.

In Vallee's study Dwarfs were usually seen singly or in

twos. Nineteen of the Z7 Dwarf cases in 1973 reported one ar two
entities (11 singles and 8 pairs), supporting Vallee's obser-
vation. If we take all 64 of the humanoid acco unts that g ave
the number of humanoids, SO% or 3 2 of them inv olved o nly a
single humanoid and 23% or 15 described pairs. Ag ai n , t h is
compares favorably with the French wave when 6 5 % o f the h uman -
oids were observed alone and 24% in pairs.

Color and Texture of Uniform or Skin

Anothe r similarity among nearly all the abdu ction

cases is the color of the entities' uniforms, reported as
dark or gra y (Patterson mentioned no color) . In the Utah
case th e wit ness r e ported the color of the uni f orms as
"silv er y and blue" o n board the craft and bright white in her
home.

It is important to note in the Pascago ula case that

news acco unts reported creatures with gray, wrinkled skin,
when, in fact, in his earliest record ed interview (in She r iff
Diamond's office only two to three hours after the sig htin g )
Hickson stated:

Best I remember, they looke d palelike t o me.

 -ss-
DIAMOND; Wrinkled skin?

HICKSON; It might have been. It looked kind of l ike

a skin fi t . They might've had something on, they
might not've. I don't know ( 5 1) ,

Hickson was not sure. The Pascagoula "Men" could have been
wearing wrinkled uniforms. A week later Hickson said the creatures
were "sort of light flesh-colored, or more a pale gray ... " (52 ) .

Report 16 is very interesting, though we have only the

t e stimony of a three year old child. It occurred on the d ay of
the Pascagoula report (in other words, earlier) and was 30 miles
away. The child said he had played with a monster that was gray
and wrinkled (53). Mrs. Morel reported that the being she ob-
s e r v ed on board the UFO had a grayish head with a darker body
and wrinkled skin "like an elephant's hide" (54 ) . The Omro, WI,
witness awoke to find 3 beings in his bedroom with grayish-
white, wrinkled skin, pointed ears and bald pates ( 55). Th e
almost identical descriptions of the hmaanoids given in these
4 cases, which occurred within 3 weeks of one another in the
same country, is remarkable.

Although the entity reported in 25 seems un ique, it d id

have gray, fish-like skin (scaly}.

These reports are thus similar to the Ririe, Idaho, case

of November 2, 1967, when two Navajo Indians reported a strange
encounter with two UFO occupants, one of whom entered the wit-
ness' car and "drove" it into a field. Although no skin or
uniform color was given, this being report edly had a rounded,
deeply scarred or wrinkled head (56) (Mrs. Morel also reported
a round head ) .

Two weeks after the Ririe case, on November 17, 1967,

-56-

David Seewalt was allegedly abducted and underwent a p h ysica l

examination by aliens with ''rough brown skin like a crocodile'' (57).

Eyes

Another correlated feature among the abduction cases is

the slanted, Oriental-type eyes of the humanoids. This aspect
was popularized by the Hills' description of their abductors'
slanted, Oriental-type eyes with vertical, cat-like pupils . Few
realize, however, that Villas-Boas , Schirmer, Llanca, the Ohio
witness and the Utah witness, describe very similar eye struc-
tures in their humanoids (although they do not mention the
vertical pupils). For instance Villas-Boas says in describing
his "seductress" " .. she had big blue eyes, rather longer than
round, for they slanted outward, like those pencil-drawn girls
made to look like Arabian princesses, that look as if they were
slit" (58).

Schirmer's description is of eyes, slightly slanted, but

not quite Oriental, that don't blink. The pupils constrict like
the iris of a camera lens (59) . Llanca observed that the three
beings who accosted him had "elongated eyes, like the Japanese,
and a little tilted" (60). Like Barney Hill, the Ohio witness
most clearly remembered -the eyes of the entities, which were
very elongated horizontally across the face. In fact, a draw-
ing of the face of the entity is almost identical to the Hills'
drawing (61). The Utah witness described large, oval eyes that
"went around the side" of the head. The pupils were big, black
an d round. The eyes moved around a lot (62).

Mrs. Morel's account also mentions slanted eyes. I

quote from Walter N. Webb's report on this case (63): "Angling
upward across the forehead, two large "egg-shaped" eyes with
large dark pupils gripped the observer's attention so much that
 41

41 Nov. 02, Goffstown, NH
-57-
-58-

she felt unable to look away. " 'l'he wi t.ness' obsession with
these eye s and the alleged telepathy te lling her not to be
afraid are exactly what Barney Hill report ed (s ee Webb's report
for other interesting correlations of t:;.e Horel and Hill reports,
both of which he personally inves·tigated) .

Report 1 3 mentions a humanoid \llho conversed with a

motorcyclist o n his way t o work. I quote from the investiga-
tor's report: "The face had a human- appearanc e like a face
covered with a nylon stocking (the description also of the
Hills' entities). It seemed to have slitted eyes" {6 4).

Two very early sightings also mentioned such eye st ruc-

tures. In July 1953 a young cowherder in Villares del Saz ,
Spain, saw three dwarf s emerge from a UFO and attempt to converse
with him. They had yellow face s and their e ye s were narrow and
Oriental (65). I n March 1954 Rubem Hellwig twice encountered
occupants. The second time the crew consisted o f one man and
two women, tall with light brown skin, lon g black hair and
large , dark slant eyes. They conversed with Hellwig (66) .

Jo s e Filho observed two strange be i ngs on October 26,

1965, in Alto dos Cruzeiros, Brazil. They had brown skin with
"shriveled'' faces , white hair, large round heads and eyes "slit"
like Orientals, but proportionately larger than in human s (67).
Note the similarity of these reported beings with t h ose of the
Morel and Ririe, Idaho, cases.

Similar desc ript ions of featur es can be construed either

as evidence of observations of p hysic ally sim i lar beings, or
of fabricated or embellished tales that the tellers p icked up
by reading prev ious accounts, especially the widely publicized
Hill and Villas-Boas stories. Howeve r, no indication has yet
 -59-

surfaced to my knowledge that any of the witnesses knew but

superficially of their predecessors' stories. And there are
enough discrepancies among the descriptions to suggest that a
unique event is being discussed. The real danger here, I think,
is not that some of the stories are fabricated, but that impor-
tant details are added or embellished by a harried witness who
in reality doesn't remember them.

Claws

The humanoids in the Pascagoula and Utah abduction cases

exhibited claw-like appendages. In the Utah case they had long
arms that ended in orange (possibly gloved) hands with two or
three large claws or fingers that opened 11
like a clasp" (68) .

Reports of claws or pincer-type appendages are not new.

In Flying Saucer Occupants the Lorenzens list four cases where
claws are reported (69). On August 14, 1947, in Carnia, Italy,
a painter was paralyzed by 2 three-foot tall beings who had
claw-like hands with eight fingers, four opposing four, on each
hand. The mid-fifties saw many reports of pugnacious, hairy
dwarfs in South America. One of these occurred on November 28,
1954, in Caracas, Venezuela, when a worker was involved in a
scuffle with a three foot hairy being with clawed hands. After-
wards the witness exhibited an ugly red. scratch from the fight.

Two such reports took place in the summer of 1955 during

a mini-wave in the U. s. The first was in Stockton, Ga., where
a woman observed four "bug-eyed" bipeds with long, thin arms
ending in claw-like appendages. The second, the famous Hopkins-
ville, Ky., case, featured three foot bipeds with very long arms
-60-

ending in clawed hands. *

The 1955 and 1973 u. s. waves are thus similar in that

they produced several humanoid reports featuring claw-like
hands. For within a three day period in October, 1973,
three such reports exist. In Report 18 James Cline saw a
thing with a glowing head run across a road where later he
found many tracks with claw marks. This case is supported by
the discovery of ground traces of the UFO landing (71).
Report 19 is the story of cab driver John Lane who said he saw
something that scratched at his cab window with a "crab-claw
hand." This story has been discredited by some but I include
it since it is not yet a proven hoax. The alleged incident
occurred only four days later and 25 miles west of Pascagoula.
Finally there is the attempted abduction of Report 21 where
the occupant reached for two children with claw-like hands ( 72).
This happened on October 17, the peak of the wave when six
other humanoid reports took place in the southeastern u. S.

Floating

The ability of the Pascagoula beings to ''float" off the

ground has been reported in several previous cases. Although
possibly related, I differentiate this aspect from the "flying"
ability of humanoids which I consider in the next section.
Floating may be a preplanned maneuver possibly used for smooth
rapid transport to and from the UFO, and is often linked with

*Probably the most thorough account of this case in print is

given in Hynek's The UFO Experience (70). But soon to be pub-
lished is the revised manuscript of the original CSI investiga-
tion of the case by Isabel Davis and Ted Bloecher. The printing
of this document will be a landmark in UFO history.
 -61-

loss of feeling or paralysis on the part of the witness. *

Hickson noticed that, at least during the time the

beings were outside the craft, they floated about a foot off
the ground. When the entities grabbed the pair, they lost
sensation (partially paralyzed?) and were lifted off the
gro und easily (in other words they also floated ). Hickson
commented that the creatures ' legs stayed together the entire
time~ they did not walk.

Barney Hill said under hypnosis that he "felt floated"

when he and Betty were led by the humanoids to the UFO and
11
up a ramp. And I did not walk. I felt like I was being
supported ..• I felt floated, suspended" ( 73) . Betty, however,
said she saw Barney walking towards the ramp but with his eyes
closed (74). Concerning his lack of feeling Barney said "They
were by my side, and I had a funny feeling, because I knew
they were holding me, but I couldn't feel them" (75).

Patterson of 31A also report ed experiencing a loss of

feeling when he was being led out of his t ruck o n board the
UFO ( '776) • In the Utah case the witness was led by her arms
out of h er home and after the examination on board the craft
she felt like she was floating (77). In Report 31 the human-
oid may have been floating but the description is rather vague.
At the end of the sighting the being "was taken back up into
the 'ves sel '" (78).

*The general term "ma s s displacement 11 has been suggested to des-

cribe all such UFO-re lated effects which involve the transporting
of mass (other than UFO). The Patterson case would fa ll into
this category. For the purposes of thi s paper, I c h oose to
separate the effects on hardware, such as autos, from those spe-
cifically used on living things; i.e., enabling the humanoids
to appear weightless or to incapacitate witn esses .
-62-

In the Hopkinsville case, the humanoids reportedly

floated to the ground especially after being hit by gunshots.
In the Ririe case the occupant who drove the car left the UFO,
which was hovering five feet above the ground, and "with a
floating movement 'like a bird'" descended to the auto. He
returned in the same way (79).

At Brands Flats, Va., on January 19, 1955, William

Blackburn reported seeing three beings, each three feet tall,
from as close as 35 feet away. They seemed to float just above
the ground. The soles of their shoes were several inches thick
(see the Hartford City, Ind., 1973 case below, where the motive
power for the beings seemed to come from their box-like feet.
Thick soles could give the viewer the impression of "boxes.") (80) ·

B. Features of Other 1973 Cases

The following categories describe some salient charac-

teristics of the 1973 wave humanoid reports that were not
particularly noted in the abduction reports.

Flying

As mentioned in the last: section, I consider the "flying"

aspect of humanoids to be a d1fferent phenomenon from floating.
Flying may be a quick maneuve~~ to escape in an emergency or to
intentionally scare an observe1 Unfortunately there are few
cases describing this fascina~1ng activity.

The Lorenzens of APRO ~re to be credited with the first

serious study of this bizarre aspect of the phenomenon. In a
recent APRO Bulle.tin ( 81), they discussed the flying ability,
presenting a few cases, I therefore only briefly mention this
subject here. Most of the reports on record occurred during the
 -63-

1967 South American wave. Seven reports of flying humanoids

were made in August and September of that year, and of these,
five were in Venezuela!

A more recent curious case happened on August 18, 1972,

in Ixtapalapa, Mexico, where two very tall humanoids were
observed to both float while they walked and then fly at the
witnesses. The beings disappeared in a dust cloud (much like
the Simi Valley case) ( 8 2) .

The only 1973 reports of this phenomenon are the three

independent Hartford City, Indiana, reports that occurred on
the night of October 22/23 (Reports 33,34and35). These have
been well investigated and I emphasize only a few features
here. These are the "dancing" effect noted by the Donathans,
the fact that the motive power seemed to be in their box-like
feet and Flatter's observation that they "flew lik e a helicop-
ter in feet down position'' (83). Another curious, though
maybe unrelated effect, was the "parade of animals" crossing
the road which caused Flatter to notice the humanoid s.

The ultimate in flying humanoids was the "Moth Man"

reported ly viewed by hundreds of people in the Ohio River
Valley in late 1966. Although to my knowledge , he was never
seen directly associated with a UFO, the Moth Man flap
occurred during a local Midwe st wave and in the same area as
the mini-humanoid wave of 195 5. .
John Keel has written more
detail on this flap and the 1966 wave (84).

Silver Suits

Other than the correlation with autos noted during th is

wave, the most commonly reported fea tu re was that the humanoids
were in silver-colored suits, often with he l mets. This as pect

 -65-

was mentioned in 13 casesi 11 of these were associated with

the 31 VEH cases in Subsection D. In 9 of the 13 cases
involving silver suits, the humanoids were dwarfs (the other
4 were of normal stature).

Silver-suited beings have always been a relatively

common part of humanoid descriptions, especially during the
French wave (where the term "diver•s suit" was used) . Vallee
lists a dozen cases where dwarfs in silver, shiny diver•s
suits were seen during the fall of 1954. I n fact, the diver•s
suit is a key to his method of classification o f the dwarfs (85}.

Robots

Another common element of the 19 73 reports was the

description of humanoids as being robot-like, either in the ir
features or behavior or both. Twelve of the reports liwolved this
aspect. Five of the silver-suited humanoids had robot-like
characteristics: the thr e e Hartford City reports, the Falkv ille
"aluminum man" and the Ashburn, Ga., case. In the latter
frightening episode, a woman•s car stalled for no apparent
reason on a highway and at the roadside she was confronted
with a four-foot tall thing in a metallic pewter-like suit
with a bubble dome helmet . It had two rectangular eye slits
and when it walked, the dome moved in a programmed, mechanical
way (86).

Report 30, from Draguignan, France, occurred the same

day as the Ashburn case. Three beings had square helmets with
luminous, rectangular eye slits (like the Ashburn creature ) .
Their gait was slow and mechanical (87) . In the Omro, Wis.,
case three humanoids resembling the Pascagoula beings seemed
to move their entire bodies when turning and were "more
mechanical than human" (88). In Report 32 a creature observed

inside a vessel of some kind moved its arms without bending the
elbows very slowly like a robot (89).

The Mobile, AL, witness observed four silhouetted figures

which moved from 11
side to side in a jerking motion" on board a
craft (90). Report 14, one of the earliest reports of the wave,
involved a giant, hairy creature with a big, round head that
walked slowly with a robot-like rocking motion and its hands up
in the air. (This report is similar to many of the anthropoid
reports and especially Report 38; it is included because a UFO
was seen nearby at the same time.)

In two of the 1973 abduction cases, the term robot was

used by the witness to describe the humanoids. Hickson described
his captors a week after his ordeal: "After I thought more about
it , I believe they were more like robots. They acted like they
had a spec ific thing to do, and th ey did it. They didn't try
to communicate with us'' (91). Patterson stated that he thought
what he saw were robots. He said tha t they were like peopl e
walking s tiff- jo inted (92).

There are many older reports of humanoids that moved in

a robot-like way or looked like true mechanical "men." Th e
classic of this type is the Cisco Grove, Calif., affair on the
night of September 4/5, 1964. It is a complicated case involv-
ing five or six beings of which two we r e robots, and a single
witness forced up a tree all night long to prevent what was an
apparent capture attempt. Since the references noted are
detailed, I will here only give a description of the robots.
They were shor ter (about five feet) and stockier th an the
humanoids, with red-orange , luminous eyes and lar ge square jaws.
The robots had dull metallic silver suits, square shoulders, no
neck and fing er s in what s eemed like gloves made of medieval
armor. The robot's function during th e night was to occasionally
 -69-

expel white vapor from their mouths which incapacitated the

witness. One of them also took three direct hits from the
witness's bow and arrow (he was a hunter ) with no apparent
effect. The NICAP reference has an excellent drawing of the
robot (93) .

Sampling

The last physical feature I will discuss is the human-

oids• sampling activities. Five of the 197 3 reports involved
sampling activity. The Snow case (Report 43) inv olved two
self-luminous, silver-suited beings with large pointed ears,
dark egg-shaped eye holes and large noses. They wore boots
with upturned toes (see also Reports 12 and 13 ) . One held a
long flashlight - like object while the other picked up rocks
from the ground and put them in a silver bag. Their movements
were slow but deliberate. The activity of collecting ground
samples was frequently reported in France and South America
during the fifties.

Also collecting ground samples were two beings in

Report 47A. They were "collecting things like leaves, water
samples from the stream and pieces of wood" (94 ) . The three
"little men" of Report 13A "were apparently looking for some-
thing , for they had instruments in their hands. And they
went over the stones (square cement blocks ) just as if they
were checking or finding out something" {95). I n Report 50 the
entity wore a helmet and respirator and held an instrume nt
resembling a vacuum cleaner or mine detector. This he passed
back and forth over a heap of brickbats piled in the witness'
courtyard (96 ) •

In Report 31 the humanoid seemed to be making measure-

ments. "He or it had a number of oddly shaped objects that he
31

 -71-

wore on a plastic belt," Walker said. He thought these were

instruments with "an egg shape with one end of the egg cut
off." During 25-30 minutes the objects changed color and the
humanoid appeared to take readings with them. The witness,
though apparently quite close, was completely ignored during
the sighting (97).

Of the interesting older sampling cases, one of the

earliest was on April 4, 1952, in Hasselbach, Germany. * A
man and his daughter saw two silver-suited entities examining
the ground, one with a flashing box (99). On November 5, 1954,
in La Roche-en-Brenil, France, a man saw three beings in a
pasture holding a box "which emitted a beam of light three
meters long" (lOffi. In September, 1957, in Campinas, Brazil,
three humanoids gathered samples in a large box UO l) .

In April, 1964, Gary Wilcox talked for two hours with

Martians (sic) who asked many questions about farming and
fertilizers. They held trays of sod in their hands, possibly
taken from Wilcox's farm. It is e vident from all this that if
the humanoids do exist, they are very interested in observations
of our environment and acquiring samples of it.

* Bloecherlists the press reference of this account for the date

of April 4. Apparently Vallee's date of Jul y 11 is wrong (98) .
 V. CORRELATIONS WITH OTHER UFO WAVES

This final section of my paper is a comparison of the

1973 humanoid data with that of other years of peak UFO activity.
It uses both landing reports and humanoid reports, comparing
them separately and together. I emphasize that I make no use
of 1973 landing data here; only the 1973 humanoid sample
approaches being a complete sample of the reported cases. A
thorough study of the 1973 landing data has not yet been done,
but may reveal the 1973 wave to be one of the largest waves in
terms of landings.

The primary source for the landing data is Vallee's

Passport to Magonia, where 923 landing cases from 1897 to
1968 (Vallee's Type I classification) are documented. This
is probably the most complete, readily accessible sample of
this kind of report in print (lots of people have extensive
files, but these are often unorganized and are generally
unavailable to the researcher) . The book was published in
1969; for my purposes I assume that the landing sample is
complete through 1967, although Vallee claims completeness
only through 1966 (102). Beyond 1968 I know of no such sample
available.

Vallee's Type I data also contains 308 humanoid reports,

of obvious interest for this study. My analysis utilizes this
data through 1967, as well as the more complete sample of
T. Bloecher (10]. As with anyone involved with these rather
bizarre reports, Vallee rejects certain kinds of contact
reports which he feels are not clearly implicated in the UFO
phenomenon. Unfortunately he does not clarify what his selec-
tion criteria are. His definition for a Type I report is no

help. Despite his extensive work in compiling the sample,
there are still some errors i n dates and many missing humanoid
reports. These fac ts are evident fro~ a cross-check with other
humanoid files, especially those of Bloecher. Bloecher records
645 specific references to humanoid reports for the same pre-
1968 period where Va llee lists 29 7 . Despite the f a ct that the
selection criteria for the two samples may b e slightly di ffer-
ent, it s e ems obvious that the Magonia sample of humanoid
cases is too small, by at least a factor of two.

Bloecher's criteria for his sample are i dent i c al t o thos e

I have chosen for listing th e 1973 c ases in Table 1 (see dis-
cussion in Chapter I) , "Contactee " r eports a nd reports with
very little data are included; anthropoid reports with no
associated UFO activity are e x cluded. Bloecher admits that
eve n hi s samp l e of references is not necessarily comp lete.
But Bloecher's is probably the most comp lete ~nd ava ilable
sample. to d a t e . Because we h ave two extensive samp l e s, it is
of interest to intercompare the m through their period of over-
lap (19671. From 196 8 to 1974 only Bloecher's sample i s used.

Using these samples, the data is graphed in var~ous

formats: the distributio n by year, which enab le s one to

easi l y isolate wave years. by month, and by day fo r the waves
of 1954 and 19 73, showing the remarkable temporal s~milarity

of these t .wo important waves . In Sect i on E , I discuss the

connection o f the 197 3 reports with Saunders' Orthoteny studies

A. Distribution by Year

Yearly distribution plots of UFO activity from almost any

sample always show certain periods of intense activity. These
periods are called "waves" by UFO researchers. One good defi-
nition of a wave is "any sudden and pronounced increase of UFO
sightings on a national scale, above what is ordinarily con-
sidered an average daily rate" ~05). Of c ourse, many of the
reports during wav es are lacking in details, are misidentifica-
tions or ar e hoaxes. But it is interesting that plots which
only include so-called "genuine UFO reports" show peaks that
are coincident with the data from unfiltered samples of reports.
I find this fact intriguing. First, it implies that UFO reports
occur in clear, repeated patterns of acti v ity, and that a more
complete sample might reveal a more logical, consistent pattern
to the phenomeno n. Secondly, it implies that a majority of the
reports which so f reely burst forth d uring period s o f public
e x citement abo ut UFO sightings ("flaps"), may b e of real, solid
craft and not me rely due to misidentificatio ns and hoaxes as
many investigators would conclude. Pe rhaps most of the sight-
ings that o v erworked UFO investigators happily file as
"explained" during these waves, are instead poor observations
of real (genuine) UFOs! Waves are to be considered among the
harder bits of scientific evidence for UFO reality .

Figure 3 is a h istogram of Vallee ' s landing data, as

mentioned in the introduction to this section. Vallee's
humanoid sample has b e en separ~ted and is plotte d as the
filled-in part of the histogram in Figure 4. Bloecher's
humanoid samp le in ever y y ear (except 1949) exce e ds that of
Vallee and is also shown in Figure 4. We can see that,
despite the fact that Valle e's sample is much smaller than
Bloecher' s, the two distributions track each other well. The

landing data includes Vallee's humanoid reports. From these

graphs we can notice several t h ings: 1 ) the peak y ears for
landing reports are 1954, 19 57 and the period 1965 to 1967,
2) the peaks of humanoid reports tend t.o follow those of land-
ings, 3) the general level of both types of reports has been
increasing since about 1951. *

Further analysis of the graphs suggests other intriguing

facts. Not all waves include significant numbers of Type I
sightings. If we examine just U. S. cases alone, waves
occurred in 1897, 1947, '5 0, '52, '57, '6 6, ' 67, and '73 .
However, except for the 1897 airship wave, which some would
question as a genuine UFO wave, none of the U. S . waves prior
to 1957 involved a significant number of Type I reports,
whereas every one from 1957 on has! From Figure 3 we see that,
on a worldwide basis, a fundamental change in the type of UFO
report was ushered in with the 1954 French wave .

The geographical distribution of the humanoid reports is

very in terest ing. During waves , as with the landings , a clear
majority of the humanoid r eports happen in a parti cular country
or r eg ion. Figure 5 illustrates this fact. It is a histogram
of all major humanoid waves from Bloecher •s sample. For seven
of the 12 waves, at l eas t 2/3 of the t o tal number of repo rts
for that wave came from one country . In the remaining five waves,
over 60% carne from only two or three countries . It is apparent
that, in terms of time and location, landings and humano id

*We must realize, however, that a pr ime reason for this increase
may be the greater awareness of the public toward UFOs and the
increased activity of UFO i nvest igators in collecting the reports .
Bloecher •s study of the U. S. wave of June and July 1947, for
example, shows that one diligent researcher can significantly
alter the sample during a wave period.

sightings are highly concentrated.

We also see from Figure 5 that eight of the 12 humanoid

concentrations involved the United States. In the 1973 wave
82% of the reports were in North America, two of them Canadian.
Many of these were in the southeastern part of the U. S. {see
Figure 1). Indeed, the 1973 wave was probably the most concen-
trated {or isolated ) wave in history.

Although more reports, 58 of 83 or 70%, came fr om France

during the French wave of 1954, the percentage of reports con-
fined to the U. S. during the 1973 wave was higher (8 2%, or
54 of 66 ). This apparent continuing interest i n the U. S. may
be due to a more developed news media and reporting network
here, or to an intrinsic interest by UFOs, possibly because of
our technological leadership, or other reason.

Ted Phillips has made a study of physical traces res u lt-

ing from UFO reports. It is of interest to compare his sample
with mine . His sample is somewhat biased towards recent years
because he only started collecting reports in 1970. His data
does, however, show significant peaks for the years 1954, 1965,
1967 and 1973 (106), in good agreement with Figures 3 and 4.
His dat a also shows a peak in 1969 which does no t correlate
well with the humanoid data (107). His "bes t " year is, not
surprisingly, 1973 with 97 worldwide reports, of which 64 a re
from the U. S. (108) .

B. Distribution by Month

For some reason ·much scientific effort has been expended

on analysis of distribution of UFO reports as a function of day
of the week. The idea was initiated by John Keel with later study
 -81-

by Vallee and Saunders. The results are inconclusive, but then

it is not obvious to me why any particular correlation is
expected.

What is more surprising is that there has been so little

effort on studies of yearly or monthly distributions. In this
section I examine the latter. To my knowledge, only one researcher,
Arnold Davidson, has investigated the monthly distribution of a
large sample of data (10~. His study sparked my interest in the
wave nature of UFOs and especially its relationship to humanoid
reports. He also used Vallee's convenient Magonia sample, reaf-
firming the necessity for this type of comp rehensive listing.

I applaud Davidson's study, but have some criticism of it.

Briefly, he divided Vallee 's landing data by month into three
bins: 1868-1959, 1960-1968, and 1868-1968. Then he listed them
in two tables, one containing all data by mo nth and the o ther
minus the 1954 data, since that year contributes the majority of
October reports to th e sample. Unfortunately the two graphs
confus e both the yearly division and the October separation. Why
divide the data into these artificial bins, and why arbitrarily
remove only one wave year and why remove data from that entire
year? Perhaps things would have been clea rer if Davidson had
used actual numbers instead of pe rcentages (percentages make it
difficult for the reader to accurately recover the original
numbers).

Both as a check on Davidson's work and as a meth od t o

assess the humanoid data, I decided to do an independent analysis
of Vallee ' s data for monthly distribution, adding to it the
humanoid sampl e . Th e results appear as Figure s 6 and 7. The
landing sample of Figure 6 is identical to that used in Figure
3. The humanoid sample of Figure 7 is similar to that of Figure

4 except that the years preceding 1 94 7 are excluded. This was

done because there are so few of the earlier reports that they
cannot be considered representative. Most of them, in fact,
come from the 1897 wave which would add to the month of April
for both the landing and humanoid graphs. As with the yearly
distribution, we see that in the monthly data 1} there are
obvious peaks, and 2) the humanoid sample resembles that of
the landing data.

Like Davidson, we ask "What does the graph look like if

we remove the obvious 1954 wave?" But is it not more meaning-
ful to remove all months obviously affected by waves, rather
than just one , and to remove only the affected month, not the
e ntire year? A table of months vs. y ears reveals the wave
nature of the Type I reports very nicely. It shows that,
although October, 1954, has the greatest monthly total of
reports, other years have waves that, in the sum over all
years, affect the monthly trend as much! For instance, April
is influenced by two big waves (1897 and 1966) which contribute
5 2% of all Type I reports for that month. I chose to r e move
the wave months in Table 3 from the landing sample . The list
includes all months with totals greater than 1 5 and thos e
adjacent months which obviously contribute t o the wav e, but
have fewer than 15 reports. Obviously some subjectivity is
necessary here; however, the waves are very evident in the data.

However, a few months which totaled 6 reports were not included

types of waves don't necessarily coinc ide and Bloecher's data
from 1947 to 1974 is included in the humano id sample.

C. Distribution by Day for the 1954 and 197 3 Waves

I have compared the wave years of 1954 and 1973 throughout

this paper, and with good reason. These waves are two of the
most extraordinary waves in terms of both the numbers of human-
oid reports and of close approach and landing reports. In this
section I examine more closely t he statistics of these two great
waves.

Any study dealing with humanoid s and landings must include

comparisons with the incredible year 19 54 when an •• invasion "
fell on France in late September and Octo ber. Bloecher records
59 humanoid reports from France a lone between September 10 and
November 5. Amazingly, before August 23 and af t er November 5 of
that year , France recorded not one report ! Generally not known
is the fact that humanoid reports were up on a worldwide basis
also . Between September 20 and December 27, Bloecher lists 50
non-French reports, b ut before September 20 only 15. Italy con-
tributed 11 humanoid sightings in October. The wave moved from
France in November and December, 19 5 4, with Italy, Brazil and
Ve nezuela contributing .most of the reports.

Figure 9 is a plot compa ring on a daily scal e the 1 954 and

197 3 waves. Only data from the two primary countries are included
in the figure. The plo t s are aligned horizontally to their peaks.
The two waves have obvious peak periods, and both peaks are in
October. However, the U. S. wave h ad an incred ible number of
seven reports on October 17, well above the number on any oth er
day during the wave. The reports seemed to have l itt le in common
with one another. It may be only coincidenta l that October 17
was also the day of the c l ose s t approach of Mars to the Earth, and

that the distance between the planets v.ras almost ident.ical to

that in 1954.

The French and the U.S. waves co ntai ned about the same
number of reports; the peak numb e r density was actuall y greater
for the 1973 wave. It is unusual for two humano id re ports to oc-
cur on the same day. If we take the time periods encompassing
two or more reports per day from each plot, we g et 1 .35 per day
for 1954 and 2 each day for 19 73 . Ove r the entire period of the
obvious French wave, the a verage is 1.2 reports per day. The
1973 wave is more spread out, yielding about 0 . 8 per d ay. How-
ever, as I stated earlier, the U.S. wave was more concentrated
geographically.

The United States has been visited befo r e wit h h umanoid

"mini-waves"; the 9 outstanding ones are li sted in Table 5 ,
including 1973. As with all waves, each of these had its
characteristics. The 1897 wave invol ved the infamous "airship s"
and their operators--many question whether this was a true UFO
wave. The Summer, 1955, wave featured the Hopkins vi lle case
noted earlier {the forthcoming publication involving this case
will also contain the results of the CSI {Civilian Saucer
Intelligence) investigations of the other 1955 humanoid re po rts ) .
Th e Fall, 1957, wave coincided with the rash of l ow level re po rts
beginning with the Levelland, Texas, si ght ings of h ug e, orange
"eggs" stalling cars. It is not well known that humanoi d s were
seen during this wave. In fact it is most remarkable: nine
humanoid sightings occurred in the U. S . within o ne week, four
o n the nigh t of November 6! * The Spring , 1966, wave occurred
during th e flap a~socia t ed with the Dexter, Michigan, report in
March that preceded the famed "swamp ga s" explanat ion. The July

* November 6, 1957, was also the p eak of the general sighting

wave (111.} .

D. Time Distribution
As discussed in Cb.III-D, Figure 2 1s a polar plot giving
the reported local times of the 1973 wave reports where avail-
able, using a 24-hour clock. In both plots of Figure 2, there
is an absence of points during the daylight hours, a peaking
between 9 and 10 pm and another secondary peak early in the morn-
ing.

These very characteristics have been found by other

researchers using different data samples. Vallee has found
such characteristics in at least three studies: l) a study of
350 humanoid reports through 1960 (112, 2) studies using his
catalog of Type I landing data Ul3) and 3) in conjunction with
-92-

Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos in a study of 100 landings on the

Iberian peninsula (114) • He calls this characteristic time
behavior the "La\'/ of the Times. " He believes it to be indica-
tive of a constant behavior pattern of the UFO phenomena
s howing a preference for night time landing and "extra-ve hicular"
activity. The night curve, with a peak from 9-10 pm, then a
lull with a peaking around dawn, is characteristic of human
activity and implies that the UFO activity may well be constant
through the night.

Further confirmation of this time pattern with the landing

a n d humano id data comes from Ted Phillips' catalog of 831 p h ys i-
cal trace reports (115) . He f in ds t hat for those cases where
the time of an associ ated UFO observation is a v ailable , there
is a clear peak between the hours of 7 and 10 pm with the day -
light hours again avoid ed . In a study of 28 h11manoid cases
duri ng 1974 for which the time was available, Bloeche r finds a
sim i lar pattern with a peak between 8-9 pm and an avoidance
d u ring dayligh t hours (116) .

There does seem to be one diff erenc e , however , between

Va llee ' s concl us i ons and the 1 973 and ' 74 humano i d data . Vallee
notes a se c onda r y peak nea r dawn wh ereas th e more rece nt dat a
shows a gen eral spread of sig htings from the peaks at 8- 10 pm
through about 3 or 4 am, wi t h a decre ase of s i g htings whe n
people are starting to get up. In several of the 1 973 -75 cases ,
the witnesses have b een a wakened by noises, li ghts or " a feeling ."
Thi s may be ind i ca tive of a change in the UFO patte~n . Certainly
the boldness o f e ncounters and intentional abd uctions seems to
have increased in recen t years.

E. Correlation with or·t hoteny

Orthoteny is a Greek derivation meaning ''stretched in a

straight line," and was first applied to the straight line
pattern of some UFO reports that occurred in the same time
frame. The word was coined by Michel in his study of the 1954
reports, and later applied to the 1957 u. s. wave by Lex
Mebane (117) . More recently Saunders has revived this contro-
versial subject with a discussion of results he obtained f rom
comput er studies of Michel's data and f rom data from the 1947
wave gath e red by Bloecher. His preliminary conclusions are
that th e re is a worldwi d e pattern involving the best-defined
orthote nic lines (reall y global great circles) , and that the
1954 French and the 1947 U. S. orthotenic patterns seem
related (118) .

Saunders lists five well-determined worldwide lines

(great circles) of which four cross the U. S. These are the
resultant best-fit lines from the data of two intense sighting
waves ; it behooves us to search for correlations with the 1973
data. The lines are drawn approximately on Figure 1, which
plots the 1973 humanoid wave cases.

Th e be st correlation is along the AUPER line whe re three

sighting s are on or close to it: Sikes, La. {Report 44),
Russell Springs, Ky. ( Report 36) and Albany, 0. (Report 20A).
The Pittsburgh, Pa., area lies close to the intersection of
the MOBAL and AUPER lines. This area was the cent e r of an
unpar a lle l e d concentratio n of anthrop oid r e ports during th e
wave. MOBAL passes n e ar th e scene s of aix repo rts: the t h r ee
in Hart f or d City, In d . (Re p o rts 3 3 to 35), Uni o ntown, Pa .
(Report 38), Terra Alta, w. Va . ( Re port 38A) and Pikesv ille ,
Md . {Repo rt 20B). The Uniontown and Terra Alta sightings
-94-

occurred on the same night only about 30 mi. apart and both
involved anthropoids in association with UFOs. MOBAL also
passes through Carroll Co., Md., home of the famous Sykesville
Monster which was also active during 1973. The TEXEL line does
not pass near any UFO sightings, but is near Clarksville, Ark.,
where another creature was reported. No sightings wer e reported
near the CAMAC line.

No further correlations are indicated by these ali gn-

ments. Note, however, that our sample includes only humanoid
reports from 1973. Two avenues of further research are needed :
an orthotenic study of all types of reports during the wave,
and a g e neral study o f the relationship of anthropoid cases
with orthoteny in the U. S.
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I especially thank Ted Bloecher, without whom this
paper would not have been possible. Ted provided me not only
with complete copies of his humanoid file, but also with care-
ful discussion and criticism of the ideas presented herein.

I thank Walter Andrus and the staff of the Mutual UFO

Network (MUFON} for their support and financial assistance in
the distribution of the first edition of this document . Like-
wise, I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. J. Allen Hynek and the
Center for UFO Studies for typing, publishing and distributing
this the second edition. Special thanks go to Margo Metegrano
for providing data on cases, Allan Hendry and Mark Chesney for
drawings and illustrations, and Mary Dell Onley for typing.

I thank Dr. David Saunders for his constructive criticism

and the guidance he has given UFO researchers on statistical
studies of UFOs; Richard Heiden for criticism of the first
edition and providing foreign case data for the second; Co ral
Lorenzen, of the Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization (APRO},
for initially stimulating my interest in humanoids; and finally,
Dr. Jacques Vallee for his published humanoid material and for
giving us all the lead on how to deal with the little men from
Magonia.
