The Swedish Man Who Was Injured by a UFO

What Physical Proof Do We Have?

It has been a very long time since it last happened but I fell asleep at around 0330hrs and quite literally ran through every CE3K/AE case and my intention, it seems, was to find the perfect case. The one that offers irrefutable evidence of extra-terrestrial visitation.

After all, Ufologists claim no one can deny these cases happened and Preston Dennett on his You Tube channel says that there are "Hundreds of thousands" of these cases on the record and "undeniable proof".  I enjoy a coffee and watching Dennett but his cases presented range from very clearly hypnagogic, altered state and "anonymous" people posting their accounts to MUFON forums, etc. The one reason I have never purchased one of his books is because of that. 

WHY would people report such things if not true?  Psychological reasons, financial ones, to have a laugh or because they genuinely believe what they report happened -the latter are NOT liars and certainly not "mental cases" but have Ruth Syndrome (my first book explains all of that.

A "story" -that implies it isn't true which is why, barring the odd slip, I never use that term just "report" or "account". Anonymous reports may be genuine but when they all follow the path set out by Hopkins and Jacobs they get a low rating. Single witness/percipient cases can get a low to Medium-High rating. I have cited cases where someone is out for a walk or berry picking and they encounter an entity and an object/craft might or might not be seen. Why would that get a higher rating?

1. There were other observers who saw an object take off from the area the encounter happened in or did not see the object like others did (due to where they were) but did report a strange sound as others did.

2.  There were unusual ground markings near the encounter site that match up with what was reported.

3.  The observer is found collapsed or in a state of mental shock and takes days or weeks to recover.

4. In many cases although locals have heard the observers account and know of the other reported activity they do not tell the press about the landing. A Ufologist may stumble onto the account as as shown from 1949-2025 that is used to get more press coverage even if against the observer/percipient wished (the ladies at Liberty were going through hell when Ufologists turned up and threatened to go to the press with their names if they did not cooperate -this is not a rarity).

There are other factors such as:

5. Radiation higher than background radiation, found at the landing site.

6. Power outages.

Whereas power outages can have many causes the fact that a berry picking site in the middle of the countryside before power stations were built or in a country with no random radiation sources around. In some cases, if checked, it is found that the "simple housewife out berry picking" has had a nasty dose of radiation.

There are physiological effects that have no rational explanation and are certainly not psychosomatic -I have seen that first hand.

The observer is therefore telling the truth?  About what?  When they were staunchly "flying saucer stories are silly" then have their encounter it changes things and most are prompted to say "alien".

Do these reports constitute proof?  Adding all the factors together it indicates something happened but not that we were visited by aliens.

I have spent over 50 years now looking into UFOs and these particular entity cases and my life has been spent looking at aviation history, hot air balloon history, satellites and even at military projects that never actually got to fly or if they did so not for long. Fifty, 60 or 70 years after some of these reports no such objects/craft as described have appeared.  We know about the4 Blackbird spy plane and we've even see the various stealth fighters/bombers revealed in the 1990s. But absolutely nothing amongst patents or aircraft designs t6hat match up with what was reported in the French, Italian or Danish countryside in the 1950s. If we had anything as percipients describe then we would not be stuck on Earth saying "50 years? Let's go back to the Moon...if we can manage it" -getting to the Moon would take a few hours.

In the (unpublished 1984 UFO Report) I defined a natural phenomena (UNP -Uninvestigated Natural Phenomena) and cited reports throughout history and these, even in 2025, are called "UFOs" as in "alien craft" and they can create ground traces, physiological effects and even shape shift.  However, none involve an entity so whereas most modern UFO reports are not adequately investigated and UNP becomes an alien craft with an actual object landing and entities seen or encountered  we know that we are not going to simple dismiss the report.

We have percipients/observers seeing what are obviously constructed craft but which are well beyond anything we have on Earth. Put an entity of odd description into that equation and .....

But does that constitute proof?  Again, proof that people are reporting odd things and in a normal world scientists would be investigating rather than illogically attacking observer credibility (if they get that far) or t6he report based on a badly written news item. FAR (Fear of Alien Reality) is so ego and world shattering to even people supposedly looking for ET in space.

When I set about researching UFO Contact the idea in my mind was simple: go for the Classic cases and look at the pro and anti arguments because if I could disprove one case it showed that there was a flaw in any claims. Reports that could be explained I did as you need to sort out the trash from the possible treasure. 

I trashed the manuscript as even taking in the debunker arguments (which fell to pieces under even mild scrutiny) I was not disproving anything and with 40-60 years in some cases for debunkers to pick apart a report even the more controversial ones stood up to analysis.

I restarted but this time with the mindset that all of the reports were fake for one reason after another.  Ah-ha! A debunker had solved a case and proven it fake. Gather more evidence and...the debunker was easily found to have lied.  I tried to pull apart reports bit by bit but in certain cases it was not possible.

After a third fresh start I had to face the fact that people were reporting genuine events and so the cases I could explain I did. The ones I could not explain away I gave as much pro and con information as I could. No wild claims just facts.

Despite the reports that had the most data -94% of such cases were not investigated but just reported on using newspaper clippings! "Hundreds of thousands" of unexplained cases? No. I came up with solid cases and although I preferred reports with 2 or more percipients some single witness reports were unshakeable or shared details not widely known even in Ufology where CE3K/AE reports are still largely ignored (especial;y in this age of super star UAP conmen).

But is even the best report I can think of actual proof of alien visitation?Once more it proves something is happening that science should be looking into (difficult if you wear two eye patches).   What we need is for someone to have an onboard experience and actually steal something that can be analysed -that would be proof.

We have huge amounts of evidence that would convince a judge and jury that something was going on but we need that solid chunk of proof and at the moment Ufology is not interested in that just fake videos and images and a "UFO Disclosure" that will never happen.  Every report should be noted and filed because one day the accounts will slap science in the face so hard.

An Uninvestigated CE3K: Quebec, 1954

Donald Johnson indicates that on August 10, 1954 at 09:30 p.m., Gabriel Coupal, 13, and his younger siblings said they saw a brightly lighted object follow them to their farm in Hemmingford, Quebec, Canada. It landed, a figure exited and appeared to engage in some repair activity.

Mr. Coupal and his oldest son went to the field where the children had been playing and saw an orange object rise from the ground and speed off to the west.

Grass was flattened down over a 15-meter area with two tracks about five meters long.

Donald Johnson indicates that the sources are Harold Wilkins, Flying Saucers Uncensored, page 237; the Huntingdon Gleaner for August 18, 1954; Fate, for March 1955, page 19; the Albany (NY) Times-Union for November 27, 1955.

In a different entry, he indicates that on August 7, 1954, at 07:30 p.m., Gabriel Coupal, 13, and another boy were out riding a horse when they saw a luminous, nine foot wide sphere land 150 feet away from them in Hemmingford, Quebec.

The sphere turned black after landing, a door opened, and "a big tall man with big round eyes" got out, dressed in a skintight black rubber diver suit that covered his entire body except the head. He carried what looked like a "machine gun" and there was a "buzz like a bee."

The man approached and the boys galloped their horse for the house, then the UFO rose, passed close by them, and landed again near the horse barn. It "had a black cable with a square thing hanging" from it. In the moonlight, this landed UFO looked "like a soap bubble," and three men were seen walking around it.

Mrs. Coupal phoned Hemmingford to get another witness, but when three more people arrived the object took off, glowing orange. It had been present for an hour or more, and there was a circle of flattened grass 30 feet in diameter where the object had rested.

Donald Johnson indicates that for the above, the sources are David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1954-42, citing newspaper clipping from Dr. Adolph Dittmar, Civilian Saucer Intelligence for August 17, 1954.

Patrick Gross:

Isn't it most unfortunate that a case which seems to have been published in several press articles, in which a taped interview of the witnesses was made, in which there seemed to be several, possibly independent witnesses involved, with a UFO and occupants apparently at close sight and lengthily see, and apparently landing traces that could have been investigated, has become nothing more that a few bits of an obviously incomplete and meager report, that even appears contradictory at times?

All I can hope now is that some Quebec ufologist gets inspired by this file and checks out newspaper archive, finds the witnesses or the relatives or the residents of the place and keeps me informed.

                                                  ***************************

In fact, Gross is correct in asking why no one bothered investigating this incident. However, he is obviously unaware that other CE3K events from 1947 to the early 1950s were either totally dismissed by flying saucer buffs or were labelled as "psychological" or "misidentification" or even "suspected hoax". The buffs actually took the word of authorities like the RCMP, RCAF who were not about to even consider such rubbish.

We have lost a lot of early reports because flying saucer enthusiasts and Ufologists decided they were unacceptable. It is still possible that the two boys are still alive and if anyone residing in Canada -Ufologist or not- can delve into this report it might still turn up some new material.

I should point out that one prominent Canadian Ufologist was still interested in a 1947 case I had dug up and reported on. He was "very keen" to find out more since the percipient -potentially- might still be alive. I sent him all the links and info and waited. After a month I enquired and he was going to look into it. After a year it was obvious that there was no intention to follow the data.

Five Books Exploring True Alien Encounters

 

 Although there are some classic cases in these books the majority involve cases that are very rare, have never appeared in English before and unlike most "clump everything together to fill a book" efforts these look at aspects of cases as well as some very common but not reported on before entity and scenario types.

Someone who has been involved in Ufology since the 1980s noted: "Over half these cases I have never heard of before!"

Since 1947 it has been claimed that UFOs/flying saucers are evidence of aliens visiting the Earth.  Since the 1950s claims of encounters with landed craft and alien beings were talked about but not taken seriously.

In the 1960s the subject of UFO abduction was a "slow-burner" until the whole "Grey" abduction phenomenon and claims made by researchers such as Budd Hopkins, Prof. John Mack and Dr David Jacobs and Whitley Streiber.

But is there evidence to back up any of the claims -and what about those encountering Alien Entities but who were not abducted?

Are these people all hoaxers, psychotic or suffering from some other mental illness as some claim?

Are those people who were exposed by Ufologists against their wishes, people who wanted to report what happened and then just get back to their everyday lives -thrust into the media glare against their will?

And if US authorities were so interested that in one case at least they broke into the home of two abductees and this was later proven -why?

Why did a hard core of these people never want publicity or to make money from what happened to them?

Above all, why did a major UFO landing incident take place on a US Inbterstate road in front of a large number of observers (all willing to talk to investigators) never get investigated? If it were not for a radio presenter interviewing and taking notes we would know nothing of the case -it would be labelled "insubstantial".

James and Coral Lorenzen -the Scopolamine Kids; using a very notorious "truth drug" on alleged UFO witnesses and selling stories to newspapers.  An investigator (a veteran) showing a witness images of "aliens" encountered in other cases before any memories were retrieved.  Worst of all, the constant "pissing competition" and breaches of trust between UFO investigators.

The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) says that we may have to wait many thousands of years before any signals sent gets a response if they are detected.

The real SETI may already have established the there is alien life –and it has been visiting Earth for at least 70 years.

Once the mass of reports of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and entity encounters are sifted there remains a strong core of cases that defy logical explanation and suggest that these encounters have resulted in physiological effects and post traumatic stress.

Terry Hooper-Scharf of the CE3K/AE Project has led research into these reports for over 40 years and in this work takes a look at rare or obscure reports as well as cataloguing encounters from Germany and Portugal and focuses in on correlations in the reports and how the Dandenong (Kelly Cahill) encounter could be the best case ever reported.

Have the serious investigators and researchers looking into UFOs been unearthing better evidence of extra terrestrial life and contact with humans than established SETI ?

Travis Walton Speaks: 50 Years After His UFO Abduction Experience

1977 HARRAH, WASHINGTON -A Child's Imagination?

 "Harrah Youth Reports UFOs With 'Greenish Creatures'", article in the  newspaper Toppenish Review, Toppenish, Washington, USA, on January 26, 1977.

Harrah youth reports UFOs with 'greenish creatures'

By Frances Story

Martha Cantu of Harrah said if her son ever tells her again to "come and look," she'll be sure to do it.

Last Wednesday when her agitated nine-year-old son Jose woke his mother up at about 6:30 a.m. asking her to explain the little "man" he saw outside she discounted his story and settled down to catch up on the sleep she'd lost the night before with a fussy baby.

Jose, who had been in the middle of preparing his breakfast, wasn't put off so easily.

He went outside to check for himself and came back with an amazing story.

He told his mother he had seen two greenish creatures about three feet tall, who rotated on a base instead of having feet, and two "steely" crafts in which 2 other creatures were sitting.

He claimed that one craft rested in the back yard and the other on a flat section of the roof of the house. He told her he had hidden behind a washing machine stored outside next to a shed.

From that vantage point, he said he saw the two creatures join the other two in the crafts. He added that the crafts were brilliantly lighted inside, had "straight stairs" (much like a ramp) and a door that opened in "two parts, like a cross" to reveal the interior which contained two chairs with very tail bases. Jose said the craft in the yard rose from the ground and disappeared into something that resembled a cloud, steam or smoke.

When she heard the story, Jose's mother did what any mother might do in the same circumstances. She sent him to school.

At the Harrah Grade School, Jose repeated the story to Diane Gomez, an aide. "Jose is a serious boy. He's not one that tells stories or lies. What he told me, I took very seriously," Gomez said.

At 10:10, recess time, Gomez and another aide accompanied Jose to his home. There he showed them the places where he said the two creatures had been standing. In one location, where Jose said one creature had rotated on his base, Gomez said she saw two round marks in the gravel. At another place, where the creatures allegedly stood, there were two sets of three indentations.

After Mrs. Cantu spoke to the teacher's aides and they had returned to school with Jose, she called her neighbor, Irene Sanchez, to come to her home. Sanchez said they examined the back yard and found in the long grass a circular impression about 10 feet in diameter in which the grass in the middle was whirled up, and also observed the marks the aides had seen. The circle was easily visible from the window of the house next door, Gomez said, and added that her brother, who lives there, had seen it from that distance. The circle was still clearly visible when Mr. Cantu arrived home that evening from work, he said.

On Thursday afternoon, when Bill Vogel of Toppenish and David Akers of Seattle, who is affiliated with the Center for UFO Studies, visited the Cantu home, the perfectly shaped circle and "footsteps" were still discernible. Akers examined the area with a Geiger counter and got no reaction.

On Saturday when this reporter visited the Cantu home only one set of "foot" marks could still be seen and only a faint trace of the circle remained.

Because the Cantu family is more at home with the Spanish language, this reporter took along a skeptical translator. After he questioned Jose, who answered his questions seriously and respectfully but asked to be allowed to return to his play, the skeptic concluded that "I believe he saw what he said he saw."

Vogel said he and Akers thought that Jose had "definitely" had an experience with a UFO.

If Jose did, he is in good company.

Barbara Brost, co-owner with her husband Earl of the Huba Huba Cafe in Toppenish, had a similar experience 20 years ago in southern Idaho on a ranch east of Blackfoot.

On a summer morning about 6 a.m. Barbara and her uncle were saddling horses and, as they left the barn by a rear door, they spotted an object "greyish white and as big as a boxcar" about half a mile away. Stunned, they watched it for about a minute. Barbara's aunt and Earl rushed from the house when the two called to them, but Earl was too late to see the cigar-shaped object which seemed to lift from the ground with a noise "like the transference of air," Barbara said. It disappeared so rapidly she couldn't tell which way it went, she said.

"When I see those rockets lift off now, on t.v., I just say to myself 'this thing was something else!'"

Another Toppenish resident, a man who prefers not to be identified, made a similar sighting eight years ago over a cornfield in Toppenish. The object that he, his wife, son and daughter saw from a distance of a quarter of a mile or less from their home was "not large. It was huge."

When asked to equate it to the size of a boxcar, he estimated it would be the length of three such train cars. He has described the object, which was off the ground and periodically beaming a light so brilliant that he was unable to look at it without squinting, to a Boeing employee who did his best to convince him that he had not seen the object and, if he had, that it was a helicopter. "I know what I saw," was his answer to that.

At the time he had a loaded Polaroid camera in his home but didn't even think of it, he said. The incident raised the "hair on the back of my neck," he said.

A more recent sighting happened in the late fall of 1958 or 1959, about 9 p.m. when Toppenish resident Ron Gardner was living in a rural area.

Gardner was about 14 years old at the time. He said he was watching television in the family's long and narrow living room with his back to a picture window in the room. A brilliant, bluish-violet light filled the room, he said. At first he thought it was "an electric arc light."

Turning to the window he saw the yard bathed in the purplish light and an object passing about 10 feet from the window.

The object, he said, was off the ground about three feet, was about seven feet high "tapering to real thin at the bottom," was engulfed in the light and the last four foot of "whatever it was" was disappearing behind a building.

Gardner said his father accused him of watching too many Flash Gordon pictures and he never talked about it very much to anyone but "I know what I saw and I've never seen anything like it since."

Vogel, who seems to be the man in Toppenish to whom all the UFO reports are given, said that there has been many reports of brilliant lights over the Harrah area in the past six to eight months.

He said reports of a bright light over Harrah were made by many CBers the Tuesday night before Jose Cantu claimed to have seen the men and crafts.

A bright light has also been spotted over Toppenish Ridge by Mrs. Stan Johnson of Toppenish, who was Toppenish's Woman of the Year three years ago. She shared the experience with a friend, Judi Farquharson of Toppenish. They reported the lights to the Toppenish Police, who notified Vogel, who watched the light until it disappeared over Union Gap.

The Johnsons, who are area farmers, have seen the light often  and are still trying to explain how three holes, about four feet deep and six feet wide, appeared all in a row in a field in which they were growing sugar beets just south of Harrah.

Those who have seen the lights and mysterious objects all agree that they "know what they saw" but they aren't betting on convincing anyone else of it.

Carl Higdon Abduction, 1974

The 'Big' Question

 

"So why don't they land and make open contact?"

I wouldn't.

Look at the number of incidents in which an object lands and entities are seen and the human reaction? Get the gun and start blasting away. Just an object in close proximity -shoot at it.

Humans are destroying their own planet willingly for gain or simply because they do not care. Polluting land, sea and air as well as killing species to the point of or into extinction without caring. Hit an animal on the road and drive on -so what. Hundreds of thousands of animals and birds killed that way every year on roads. Many thousands of animals killed simply for 'fun'.

Thousands a week killed in some conflicts and what does the collective world do? Nothing other than just watch or spout a few words for publicity. Slaughtering babies, children, women, men and anything else DAILY.

Believe me I might try the odd landing for some necessary reason but would I want to have open contact with humans or allow them to start a war over who gets to steal the alien tech first? Would I want humans in space contaminating it?

There are no Captain Kirk or Captain Piccard speeches about how humans have so much potential and that we are "getting there" -that is pure fantasy because humans have killed since before they found they could dress in animal hides and they continue to kill because they like to.

No, I can see no reason for any alien civilisation to do anything but observe.
