The Alien Encounter of Gösta Carlsson

 wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%84ngelholm_UFO_memorial

The Ängelholm UFO memorial is a monument dedicated to an alleged UFO landing site in the Kronoskogen forest near Ängelholm, Sweden. It includes a concrete scale model of a flying saucer, the purportedly life-size landing impressions on the ground, and copper plaques mounted on pillars. The monument reflects the account of Swedish entrepreneur Gösta Carlsson, who attributed his success in life to encountering a UFO in 1946.

At the center of the memorial, a one-eighth-scale concrete model of a flying saucer sits atop a concrete pedestal. Cast in Carlsson's Välinge factory and based on his sketches, the model has a rear fin, support legs, and a metal periscope-like device protruding from the top. Concrete paths, which depict landing impressions, circle the model. Copper plaques mounted on pillars at the edge of the clearing provide the purported eyewitness testimony. The monument is Swedish National Heritage Board heritage site number RAÄ Strövelstorp 47:1.

Investigations into the account have not corroborated the UFO narrative. Despite a lack of evidence, it has become a tourist destination and national heritage site.

In 1995, respected Swedish ufologist Clas Svahn wrote a book with Carlsson about the incident, Mötet i gläntan (The meeting in the clearing). After years of research and over a hundred hours of interviews, Svahn came away disbelieving the encounter, but not doubting Carlsson's conviction.

So NO huge amounts of confirmation/corroboration.

The Ferri Incident

 October 9, 1984. 3:30 a.m. A beam of light coming in through a window wakes up Isidoro Ferri in his residence on the Via della Tessaia in Polcanto, northeast of Florence, Italy. He sees that it is coming from the forehead of a dark figure on a nearby hill across the road. 

Suddenly the figure and light vanish, and Ferri sees a stationary dark object with three pinkish jets of light projecting downward. After several minutes, this light disappears and an extremely bright white light approaches and floods the area. Ferri gets up and approaches the window but finds himself paralyzed for a few seconds.

 The light then withdraws, and he finds he can move again. 

The white light is replaced by a red lens-shaped light that hurts his eyes then moves on to the northwest. 

Ferri’s dog has not barked through the entire encounter, refuses food for the next several days, and stays in its doghouse for 2 weeks. Three circular holes 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch deep are found in an area of somewhat flattened grass. Sources: CUFOS

Hello

I started investigating and researching Close Encounters of the Third Kind /Entity cases in 1974 -the year I set up the CE3K/AE Study Archive.

One thing I have noticed is that a lot of reports of UFO landings involving entities are dismissed outright because (1) Greys are not involved and (2) there is no claimed abduction. Percipients in CE3K incidents either thenb say no more or turn to other things including religion looking for answers.

How many people here know of what we might call straight forward "old fashion" UFO landings and encounters. I can always be FB messaged if you do not want to make an incident public.

Thanks.

This Alien Encounter Was Unlike Any Other

I am not finding them

 

I've gotten to Alien Confrontations page 175 and stopped typing. I looked through the Archive and particularly for UK reports.

The majority on file come from the 1970s and 1980s and to be honest as much as people keep mentioning them there are no full reports. One by one cases have fallen apart.  Once the whole Grey abduction thing took hold it became a mess.

We have reports by some dubious big names in Ufology who planted fake reports but will not reveal for what reason or which report which means that anything with their name attached to it cannot be considered.

Someone (and I know I am talking to myself) point me in the direction of a well detailed, investigated CE3K/AE report -UK or elsewhere because I am not finding them.

You Walk TOWARD The Unexplained NOT Run Away

 Back around 1977 a member of a group -UFO International (less said about that the better)- offered to help me with compiling the CE3K/AE files.  I gave a sigh of relief as there were a lot of books and magazines to go through. After two weeks the volunteer (a manager for a major petroleum company) looked at me and said "I can't do it any more. Sorry" -so I asked why?

It turns out that after spending days going over the reports he had a vivid dream in which he was in some kind of hut or cabin in the countryside and he saw a landed UFO and some entities get out and move about. He felt trapped. Basically, this was his mind, while he slept, sifting through what he had learnt in order to explain or make some sense out of it all.

I had a similar dream when I startedand it was quite vividbut it never scared me off the work! I will give a more mundane example.

One job I had in the 1970s involved backing items into boxes and also rolling large prints and putting them into heavy duty postage cylinders. For two nights I had vivid dreams of the mundane, mind numbing boring chore of boxing up items. Vivid. As I needed to eat, pay rent etc I did not go to my boss and say "I quit. I cannot do this any more -I had vivid dreams of packaging things up!"  I did mention it to a co-workere who laughed and said "You, too?!"

I heard a similar story7 from someone who was working on business accounts for hour after hour and he told me that the vivid dreams of constantly opening up books, checking them was driving him nuts.

So, the fella with the CE3K work simply chickened out because of a dream.

I have read as well as spoken to supposed Ufologists who, seeing an object (large or small) come down behind a hill or trees will turn around and run.drive off. In one case an 'investigator' sent his father to investigate. Thankfully, that Ufologist being thoroughly incompetrent got out of the subject.  I have known others that would not go to speak to UFO repeater witnesses in case "something" happened to them. Those people need to step way back or simply leave Ufology.

I have watched and heard so many supposed "ghost hunters" run away screaming for their mummies when they hear a sound or someone says they thought they sawa shadow move! Again, give up the hobby and find a new one.

Cryptozoology is another field where you find this. Luckily, it's less embarrassing as most "cryptozoologists" never leave the comfort of home.

Around 1977 I was living with my grandparents in Downend on the outskirts of Bristol. Even on a sunny summer day everything stopped at 1700 hrs!  At night it was quiet even on the main Westerleigh Road -a little traffic might have helped as I walked past the large cemetery there! There was one large triangular patch of grass that was just off the Westerleigh Road on the Black Horse Estate. Returning from a UFO meeting on foot it was dark, warm but as I got more onto the country area the fog got thick. I crossed the patch of grass and turned as I heard a sound behind me. Fog too thick to see anything.

I continued walking but then heard foot steps behind me. I stopped andf they stopped. I thought it odd since it was hardly a robbery hot spot!  I started walking again and heard the sound again but now on paving I realised that what I was hearing were hooves. Two hooves clip-clop clip clop. I stopped again but the fog was so bad I could not see two feet (60cms) in front of me. I carried on walking along the concrete slabbed pavement between a brook and play area and the row of houses and I was not that far from home. 

I heard an odd sound as the two cloven hooves walked behind me. I stopped and said "Who is there?" but with a street light to one side all I saw were two very long horns. I turned and walked a bit faster but the clip clop stopped. I stopped. I could not see anything other than my feet on the pavement. I breathed a sigh of relief, Whatever it was was gone. Something warm then breathed on my neck. I ran to my grandparents house and there was a 6 feet high wooden gateway blocking the entrance to the back garden and from there I could get to the back door and into the house. I have still got no idea how but I vaulted over that gate. I stood with my back to the gate and listened as something was pushing the gate.

At bthat point what I call my "Gemini mind" was at work. One side panicked at what was going on while the other took over: I was "all mouth" about looking into the strange or unexplained when talking at meetings and here I was sweating like a coward. My more forceful Gemini side took over and I turned slowly and decided that what ever was on the other side of that gate I had -no options- to face it or I would simply be a useless coward. I slowly, and as quietly as I could, pulled back the gate bolt and lifted the latch. Calmly I pulled open the gate.

What I confronted that night made sure that whatever I faced whether strange lights, odd sounds or mysterious figures I did not turn and run. I headed straight for it or observed and noted details because of distance. The "Devil of Downend" made sure I was always prepared.
