Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth – Beyond Belief
Though encounters with the proverbial and ridicule-prone ‘little green men’ are rare, there are reports by reliable witnesses which warrant our attention. Such is the case in the following report from Poland, an incident that occurred in the village of Emilcin, 140 kilometres southeast of Warsaw, on the morning of 10 May 1978.
At about 08.00, Jan Wolski, a 71-year-old farmer, was passing through a forest in his horse-drawn cart when he noticed two individuals ahead, walking in the same direction, but with ‘supple jumps’ like ‘divers on the sea bed’. When one of them approached a muddy patch, his feet seemed to ‘slide’ across the mud, as reported in a number of other cases. When Wolski caught up with the ‘hunters’, for that is what he took them to be, they walked alongside the horse and cart for a while then jumped aboard and sat down gently, one at each side, gesturing to Wolski to carry on.
(The added weight caused the mare to exert extra effort.) Wolski drove on while the ‘hunters’ exchanged some words in an incomprehensible tongue. Shortly, as the cart approached a clearing in the forest, a strange, almost ‘transparent white’ object could be seen, hanging in the air about 70 metres away, emitting a faint humming sound.
A NOVEL CONTRAPTION
Insofar as I am aware, the shape of that object was like none ever reported. Described by Wolski as ‘like a short bus, but with a roof like a barn’, it was about five metres in length, three metres in width, and about 2.5 metres in height. It shone, as if nickel-plated. No windows were seen. As investigators reported:
At its four corners, and half-way up, it had on the outside ‘barrels’ with black vertical rods running through them and carrying what looked like spirals rather reminiscent of corkscrews [see Fig. 26]. These black rods were rotating very fast. Their diameter was . . . around 30 centimetres. As for the ‘barrels’, their approximate dimensions were: height, about one metre; diameter, possibly 80 centimetres. The length of the black rods may have been about 1.5 metres
The ‘corkscrews’ emitted a range of colours, and the ‘barrels’ seemed to have been the source of the humming. When closer to the object, Wolski said the sound was like that of bumble-bees in flight. As though cast in one piece, the craft’s surface was smooth, stainless and seamless. At a height of some 50 centimetres from the ground was suspended a ‘lift’, held by four thin cables attached above the entrance to the craft, which had descended as the trio approached. Stepping on to the platform, one of the entities invited Wolski aboard, gesturing to him that he should grasp the cables. After rising rapidly, the ‘lift’ stopped in front of an opening and Wolski was motioned inside. Stepping into the object, Wolski paused, bracing himself with his right hand against the entrance. Inside the chamber, the walls of which were almost black, were two more beings identical with the first two . . .
The chamber wasrectangular. There was no internal lighting other than the daylight from the open door. The walls, floor, and ceiling were a greyish black — the same colour as the overalls of the occupants. The floor was shining, ‘as though polished’. The walls were smooth and hard to the touch, and made of a material resembling glass. Against the four walls there were seats, each fastened by two black cables.
No apparatus was seen inside the contraption, with the exception of two black ‘tubes’ that ran from one gable wall to the other and two holes, about 30 centimetres apart, into each of which one of the entities inserted alternately a smallish black ‘rod’. From floor to ceiling, the height was about 1.8 metres. On the floor of this cabin were about ten crows or rooks, which seemed to be paralysed, though they could move their heads and eyes.
THE BEINGS
The four identical beings, of indeterminate sex, were about 1.4 to 1.5 metres tall and had delicate, slim figures. They were dressed in tightfitting, flexible one- piece suits of a greyish-black rubber-like material, covering the entire body except the face and hands. No pockets, belt or fasteners were seen. Their legs seemed thicker than those of normal men, and from the way these curved when the beings sat in the cart with their legs hanging down, they looked like prehensile limbs. A ‘hump’ was visible on the shoulders, as though something was contained under the suits. The slim, greenish-coloured hands had five fingers, between which were fine membranes, except for the gap between thumb and forefinger.
Their heads were relatively large, with faces of an olive-green or greenish- brown hue, having high cheek-bones that gave them an Asiatic appearance.
The eyes, almond-shaped, very long, were dark, and, according to [one report], had nothing corresponding to what we call the white of the eye. In the place of the nose, there was only a slight protuberance with two small vertical openings . . . but according to [another report] the nose was straight. The mouth was straight, and thin . . . They had no lips. Their teeth were white. No hair was visible on the face When the beings smiled, the mouth twisted to one side with the effect of a grimace. Their speech was rapid and delicate. Wolski felt no fear in their presence; indeed, their polite, gentle manner inspired his confidence.
A PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
The beings indicated to Wolski that he should take off his clothes, and one of them helped him undo his shirt buttons. Facing him less than two metres away, one of the beings held in each hand a grey disc-shaped object that seemed to be attached to the hand by something like a suction-pad. The discs were vibrating and emitting a dull humming sound. Wolski was positioned with one side facing towards the entity holding the discs, then with his back towards him, and finally with the other side.
Each time, Wolski’s arms were raised alternately by the entities, whose fingers were very cold. He believed that when the discs were being moved around, he was being ‘photographed’. During the process, he smelled an odour similar to that of burning sulphur; a smell that lingered in his clothing for days afterwards.
Wolski’s clothes were also examined by the beings. Then, after looking inside his mouth, they motioned for him to get dressed. When ready, he was shown the way out. Wolski doffed his hat, bowed, and said goodbye. The beings bowed likewise, smiling. The same lift took him back almost to ground level, so that he was obliged to jump down a short way.
CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE
Reaching his horse and cart, Wolski turned round to look at the contraption. Two or three of the beings were watching him from the entrance. He did not see them leave. Once he was inside the cart, the mare galloped towards home.
There, ten minutes later, he told his family all about the experience, then he lay down to recover for a few hours. His family and some neighbours headed for the site, but the object was not there. Traces were found; however, these included relatively long, almost rectangular footprints, uprooted stalks and broken ears of maize, twigs and small branches pulled from trees, evidence of soil samples having been taken and black feathers.
At a farmhouse 800 metres from the scene of Wolski’s encounter, a mother was preparing a meal as her children, Adas (aged six) and Agnieszka (four), played outside. Between 08.00 and 09.00, the mother heard a noise like thunder, though seeming to come from the ground. Shortly afterwards, Adas came in to say that he had seen an aircraft like ‘a little house’, or a ‘big box’, fly low over the barn, coming from (it was later determined) the direction of the landing site where Wolski had been, then vanish vertically with a sound like thunder. Adas said that the object was flying with one of its smallest ‘walls’ to the front, in which was a square window with rounded corners, through which he saw a pilot. On the edges of the wall, he said, were moving black rods, like the feelers of a snail.
The first investigators, Witold Wawrzonek and Dr Zbigniew Bolnar, found the witness truthful, forthright and sound mentally and physically. Yet another investigator, Dr Kietlinski, a psychologist, also found Wolski to be honest. A devout Catholic, Wolski swore to God the veracity of his testimony.
Like the British abductee, Alfred Burtoo, Jan Wolski believed that the creatures were foreigners from Earth, such as Chinese. He attributed their green skin colour to make-up, or masks!
Those familiar with the numerous publications, personal accounts and memories about abductions, wherein, predominantly, grey-coloured beings with huge wrap-around almond-shaped eyes, slit mouths and only nostrils for noses — the so-called ‘Greys’ — are described repeatedly, will have been alerted by the partial similarity of Wolski’s entity to the Greys, perhaps wondering why more of these have not featured in this book. The fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of reports of the typical Greys (there are variations) did not appear in print until the late 1970s.
There are earlier reports, such as the case of Carroll Watts (see Chapter 14), whose ‘white or very light grey’ beings had wrap-around eyes of varying colours, small slits in a nose-type bone structure, and ‘a straight line with very thin lips’ for a mouth, and of course the famous Barney and Betty Hill case of 1961, but such cases are the exception rather than the rule; even then, certain differences are evident.
CONTRASTING ITALIAN ENCOUNTERS
Giorgio Filiputti, a 47-year-old railway employee from San Giorgio di Nogaro, in the northeastern Italian province of Udine, was fishing in the River Corno at Melaria, at about 15.30 on 18 September 1978, when he heard a piercing whistle, like ‘something scything through the air’. A few minutes later, having decided to give up fishing because of the wind, he walked up to the embankment.
No sooner had he reached the top than he was alarmed to see an unusual disc- shaped object standing on a small dry mudflat no more than 20 metres away. As Filiputti related to investigator Antonio Chiumiento:
It was four or five metres wide and it had a cupola on top [and] was supported on three thick legs about 1.5 metres high. These latter seemed to be divided into two parts, almost cylindrical in shape, the upper part having a greater diameter than the lower . . . I had the impression that they consisted of two tubes, one sliding into the other [which] terminated in flat ‘plates’. The object was totally smooth, without windows or portholes [and] seemed to be made of a metal of a brassy or yellowish colour which shone in the sunlight.
The craft and its occupant encountered by Giorgio Filiputti, near San Giorgio di Nogaro, Italy, in September 1978. These illustrations were made by Ugo Furlan after lengthy discussions with the witness. ‘A SORT OF ASIAN PYGMY’
‘Then, almost immediately,’ Filiputti continued, ‘I saw someone appear, from right behind the cupola, who was walking on the rim of the disc. My first thought for a moment was [that he had] the physical appearance of the inhabitants of certain Asian countries.’
His height was maybe about 1.30 metres [and] he was wearing a completely tight-fitting overall, of the colour and brightness of silver, which flashed and sparkled vividly in the sunlight, and which left only the front part of the head, from the forehead to the chin, exposed. On his feet he had boots of the height of those worn by paratroopers and of a smoky black colour [and] his hands were clad in white gloves
His face, dark-bronzed, had almond-shaped eyes extending back towards where his ears would be — which I did not see because that part of the head was covered by the overall. Nose and mouth were quite normal. From the moment that I observed him, particularly his eyes, I could see that these were wide open, with pupils that appeared to me to be a bit bigger and a bit more protruding than those of certain inhabitants of the Orient . . . the single-piece garment this being was wearing looked as though fashioned entirely of ‘fish- scales’, and he was wearing, approximately at waist-level, two containers of the same colour as his boots.
‘When I caught sight of that “sort of Asian pygmy”, I was overcome by a profound emotional disturbance due partly to stupefaction and partly to fear,’ continued Filiputti. ‘He too appeared to be gripped either by surprise and bewilderment [or] unease at seeing me, as if it had been completely unexpected for him.’
