Landing Site

In last week’s blog, we took a look at a case from Kofu, Japan, that involved two seven-year-old boys, Masato Kono and Katushiro Yamahata, who reported seeing a saucer-shaped UFO and its occupants in a vineyard in 1975. The creatures were described as having brown heads with pinky-sized, horizontal wrinkles where a face would be; three silver, metallic, two-inch fang-like features where a mouth would be; and two rabbit-like ears with a hole in the middle of each one. One of the creatures confronted the boys and emitted a noise like a sped-up tape recorder in what seemed to be an attempt to communicate. They ran away to Kono’s home where their parents were having dinner and they excitedly told their story. Kono’s mother thought they had made it up as an excuse for being late, but the boys insisted it was true and pleaded with their mothers to go with them and see for themselves. The boys would soon be forgiven for being late and would become the center of attention for many interested parties.

Masako Kono and Hanae Yamahata followed their boys out to a road on the west side of the Hinode Complex where the Konos lived. With them were Hanae’s one-year-old son and four-year-old daughter. From there, they had a view of the vineyard where the boys said they’d seen the saucer and the creatures. Read more →

1965 Everglades UFO

admin

My family and I were fishing on loop road in the Everglades and fished into the night. My Father was watching planes on approach to the airport as we fished. He pointed one out to me that was not behaving like the others. It was coming towards us at low level and only a single orange-ish red light was visible. when it got close my Father had us load up. He was in the drivers seat with his hand on the ignition switch as we all watched the light. It was just above the treetops and 150 foot away. It was silent. When it crossed the road the light went out. Dad had enough and started the car. The light came back across the road and went out. Dad took off. We were all spooked.

A UFO and Creature Encounter Report From Kofu, Japan

admin

by Charles Lear

In 1975, two seven-year-old boys in Kofu, Japan, reported an encounter with a flying saucer and its occupants. They were taken seriously, and an investigation revealed not only other witnesses, but also physical evidence to back up their story. The case was re-examined almost 40 years later by investigators from the Space Phenomena Observatory Center, and in their opinion, still holds up. A report was given to the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization and the Center for UFO Studies by Matsushito Hayashi of the Japan Space Phenomena Association. Both organizations provided summaries (APRO here on page 5; and CUFOS here on page 13) in their publications. A two-part article using extensive Japanese sources was written by Otakupapa. It is titled Kofu Incident: A Creepy Alien Got Off a UFO and Tapped a Japanese Boy on the Shoulder and is posted on otakupapa.net.

According to the article, on Sunday, February 23, 1975, Masato Kono and Katushiro Yamahata were roller-skating on a concrete slab in a vacant lot at around 6:30 p.m. Looking up, they saw two lights moving towards them from the east. According to the version of events in one of Otakupapa’s sources (Kubota, Hachiro UFO to Uchu (UFOs & Space) June 1975, NO.12, 8-17, Universe Publishing Co.), the lights were seen by the boys to be orange objects as they got closer. At this point the boys could see that the objects were circular with three spinning structures on the bottom. The boys’ descriptions of the objects are very much like the “classic” Adamski-type saucer. According to writer Hiroshi Minamiyama (Otakupapa’s other source for this moment in the story) only one object came over to the boys while the other one flew off.

Boomerang Over my Car in 1984

admin

New to your podcast in 1984 , I lived in Yonkers I worked in New Rochelle and was coming home as I got onto the Cross County Parkway I noticed 2 lights , really low ,I thought it was plane but it was so slow,it wasn’t flying past me, so I started going slow I was on a 5 Lane Highway the two lights turn into 4 then 6. I was just so amazed it was floating and going so slow and it was so so low I didn’t understand what I was looking at I ended up stopping on the parkway I flicked my high beams, got out of my car and the thing literally just stopped, turned and then floated towards me, stop over my car and it just hovered all I could think about was how is it not falling and how could it just be floating then I noticed they had no nose no tail .i was crossing off what it should have been. As it was over me I could see underneath it it was literally no higher than maybe a 50 story building it was just so low and so huge, made no noise,I could see the belly…the pipes, ducts…it looked like the ceiling of an industrial buildings basement. It was all black and huge HUGE. It was about 1:30 in the morning , as I Stood out my car and pointed up to other vehicles pass by but did not stop near me and then at some point I was talking to them in my head asking who and where are they from things of that sort and then I just got really spooked and jumped back in my car and I started to drive away . I kept looking back as it slowly turned and went back the way it came. As I advanced I would turn my head back every two3 seconds and then the last time it wasn’t there anymore. But I don’t think it just disappeared I believe there’s a radius based on its perspective that can only be seen with in that radius. This is why it appears to skip and blink out, and also why one block sees it but not another down the street. NOW, What should’ve been a 20 minute drive home took me an hour and a half when I arrive home at 3:30 it didn’t understand how it was so late I literally woke up my whole family and being a New Yorker ,my sisters told me to shut up and go to bed. I was 19 or 20 I’m 57 now, live in LA and last year on February 19 I remember because it was the day before my birthday at 8 o’clock in the morning saw this little white dot in the sky zipping across the sky it was so tiny and we thought yeah maybe just a plain really really high but then it stopped and then it went back the way it came it was so amazing the incident in the 80s, 2other car stopped but we never spoke to each other I have often wondered who they were and I wonder what happened during my missing time just want you to understand It was so big and it was just floating so slow there was nothing too compare it to
Since then I always look up I believe I’ve seen a total of 3 yap’s to date. Somehow,I believe I can tune into other frequencies at certain times,I capture ghost in pics. Orbs and balls of light in the clouds.
I’m open to talk if you have any questions, thank you Tony

A UFO Abduction in Cergy-Pontoise?

admin

by Charles Lear

On November 26, 1979, police in the French agglomeration community of Cergy-Pontoise received a strange missing person report from two distressed young men. According to Jean-Pierre Prévost and Salomon N’Diaye, their friend, Franck Fontaine, disappeared after a ball of light that was accompanied by three or four luminous spheres engulfed the car he was in. This resulted in not only an investigation by the police but also GEPAN (Groupe d’Études des Phénomènes Aérospatiaux Non-identifiés), the unit of CNES (Centre National D’études Spatiales) tasked with dealing with UFO reports.

According to an article on the case titled L’Affaire de Cergy-Pontoise, posted on rrO.org, Fontaine, 18, Prévost and N’Diaye, both 25, were loading a Ford station wagon with jeans they were going to try and sell at Gisors market. They saw a light heading towards the ground at a “not too fast speed.” Fontaine drove towards where he thought it might have made impact after telling the other two to meet him there. Prévost and N’Diaye went back to their nearby apartments, N’Diaye to get a camera and Prévost to get another load of jeans. Read more →

PART II: A Multiple Witness UFO Abduction

admin

by Charles Lear

Filiberto Cárdenas

In last week’s blog, we wrote about an incident involving Filiberto Cárdenas, a Cuban exile living in Hialeah, Florida. Cárdenas was reportedly seen by his friend and his friend’s wife and daughter to float up in a beam of light into some sort of craft that then flew off. Two hours later, he was found 16 miles away on his hands and knees in the middle of the road. He was taken to a hospital and tested for radiation. The tests came up negative, but he experienced mysterious symptoms including an excessive thirst, shaking hands, and a sulfurous body odor. While this case might have been held up as an argument for the reality of the alien abduction phenomenon, it is rarely discussed and is overshadowed by more famous cases such as that involving Travis Walton. A possible reason for this is that Cárdenas, and then his wife, reported experiences that were similar to those of contactees, who have often been discounted by many in the UFO research community.
