The Unexplained UFO Portal Case in New Brighton

On the morning of Tuesday, July 10, 1979, a 58-year-old man named William York awoke in excruciating pain from a slipped disc at his flat at The Channel on Harrison Drive, Wallasey. William happened to glance out of his bedroom window and saw strange, unexplained lights in the sky.

He later told journalists about the widely reported UFOs: “I saw one light in the distance to the south; I would say it was flying east, but then it quickly turned north. “Suddenly I saw four large lights, two at each end of a horizontal line. Then they turned east and all the lights turned into a red cloud and disappeared.”

A milkman on his rounds that morning saw the same four UFOs only he had a better view of them than Mr York. He saw that they were cylindrical with rounded ends and they flew to a point just past New Brighton Lighthouse where they vanished. This spot where the unearthly craft seemed to dematerialise is known as a portal to many ufologists – it seems to be an opening near Perch Rock – an opening to where though?

Physicists call such openings wormholes, the mouths of mind-boggling tunnels through the very fabric of the space-time continuum that could provide the human race with an instantaneous way of travelling to another star system, or even to far end of the universe.

What’s fascinating about the 1979 sighting at Wallasey is that the same pill-shaped UFOs are being seen know – cylindrical with rounded ends – known today as the tic-tac UFOs – the very same ones that made a mockery out of the US Navy on manoeuvres in 2004 and 2015. The tic tac UFOs flew alongside strike fighter planes then left them standing.

The surfaces of the UFOs, which were filmed in both visible and infrared light, showed that they had a smooth hull with no discernible ailerons or exhausts to explain their propulsion. The videos of the UFOs leaked out and resulted in the Pentagon declassifying a lot of its footage of UFOs and admitting they were real and apparently piloted by ‘non-humans’.

In 2001, a Bebington man called me on air at Radio Merseyside on the Billy Butler Show and described a brilliant white UFO he and his wife had seen flying under the Runcorn Bridge and on towards Wirral as being shaped like a tic tac. This comparison to the breath mint evoked a few laughs but it is an accurate description of the phenomenal craft – the mathematical term for such a shape is a spherinder.

The one in 2001 flew along the eastern coast of Wirral and again, it vanished once it flew past New Brighton Lighthouse in broad daylight.

The most spectacular sighting of a tic tac UFO was during the Great Storm of 1987 when a violent cyclone with hurricane-force gales struck the country on October 15-16.

Just before the apocalyptic storm battered the UK, the BBC weatherman Michael Fish famously told viewers before his forecast, “Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way; well, if you’re watching, don’t worry, there isn’t. Then the storm made landfall in Cornwall. It caused £2 billion damage and resulted in 18 deaths. Gusts of over 100 mph battered Wirral.

Police closed part of Liverpool Road, Neston, after it flooded to a depth of three feet under a railway bridge, and vehicles had to be abandoned in a Biblical flood which swamped Eastham Rake, but up in the north-east corner of the Wirral peninsula, the raging seas looked as if they were going to engulf New Brighton lighthouse, and a woman in her sixties named Elaine screamed because she was sure her dog had been swept out to sea.

Her car had been blown off the road and she’d hit a bollard. Getting out to assess the damage, the lady’s poodle slipped out and seemed to vanish. Thinking the worst, Elaine was leaning into the maelstrom of the screaming winds at almost a 45 degree angle as she tried to look for her beloved pooch – when she saw something very strange: a gigantic craft hovering stock still behind the lighthouse.

Elaine later described it as resembling a giant white pill.

The waves were almost as high as the 95 feet tall lighthouse and the winds were in excess of 100 mph – and yet that craft was not moving an inch.

After watching the UFO for about twenty seconds, Elaine was startled by the craft’s sudden departure. It was there one moment and then it was a spot of light heading north across Liverpool Bay.

In tears, Elaine turned around and was blown back to her car. She got into the vehicle to find the poodle curled up in a ball on the passenger seat, its ears flat against its head as it was spooked by the howling banshee winds outside the vehicle. Elaine cried tears of laughter and drove home. The next day she heard a news report about a pill-shaped UFO that had been seen flying towards the north as if passed over the Isle of Man. The pill shape Elaine describes tallies well with our tic tac UFOs.

In much calmer weather, numerous people have seen some strange things come through the New Brighton portal.

In August 2022, a couple stood on Wallasey’s King’s Parade, looking out to sea. It was a calm warm night and as the couple looked at the moonlight twinkling on the waves, they became aware of an oval black shape which appeared about sixty feet above the water. Out of this ‘hole’ in the night air came a line of six red glowing globes which flew inland in complete silence and passed perilously close to two blocks of flats near Wellington Road.

The couple looked back at the ‘hole’ above the waters and saw it was rapidly shrinking in size and within a minute it was gone. In March 2023, a woman jogging along King’s Parade saw what seems to have been the same mysterious dark aperture about 600 yards out to sea. The woman thought her eyes were playing tricks on her at first, but then she saw two red orbs of light emerge from the hole, which then closed up. The lights flew towards the east and faded away. If someone could only send a drone with a camera into that hole, should it open again, I wonder what we would see.

Small UFO that flew into the house cured a paralyzed dog

This bizarre story was published in the book Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness & Contact with Non-Human Intelligence, published in the United States in 2018. One of the authors of this book is a lawyer named Ray Hernandez and this story happened directly to him and his family in his home.

At that time, his family had a dog named Nena, a Jack Russell Terrier. In 2012, Nene was already 15 years old and was rapidly developing arthritis in her extremities. At first her gait became weak, then it became increasingly difficult for her to walk, then problems with her kidneys and heart began. Nena was treated, but it only got worse.

On March 3, 2012, Nena was unable to move her paws and now could only lie down, raise her head and bark. Her owners called the veterinarian, but he only suggested they come to terms and humanely euthanize the sick pet. Euthanasia was scheduled for the next day. Ray Hernandez’s wife, Dulce Hernandez, who was a devout Catholic, took this very hard and began to pray for Nena. In the morning, around 6 o’clock, Nena began to bark restlessly.

Dulce decided that maybe she wanted to go to the toilet and took the dog in her arms, and then began to go down to the first floor into the living room, so that she could then go out into the courtyard, where Nena could relieve herself. And there, in the living room, Dulce saw a luminous silver object about a meter in diameter, which was shaped like an inverted horseshoe. This object hovered above the floor and for some reason the devout Dulce mistook it for an Angel.

“When my wife saw this object, she immediately knelt down and began to pray. She was still holding our dog in her arms and asked this “Angel” that if he was truly an Angel, then let him make sure that her dog Nena did not suffer from of his illness.”

A few minutes later, Dulce began calling her husband and asking him to come downstairs. Ray did not want to get out of bed and then she herself went upstairs and pulled him out of bed. He asked her “What happened?”, but she just said “You will see for yourself, you will see…”.

“I followed my wife down the stairs. She stopped next to Nena, who was lying on the floor, still completely paralyzed, on her back. Then my wife and dog disappeared right before my eyes! Almost immediately after that, I entered my a kind of hypnotic trance. It was as if you were in a state of awakening from a dream, half conscious, half in a dream world.”

According to Ray, while in this altered state of consciousness, he did not even think about what had just happened to his wife. He was completely stunned and looked at the strange object in his living room. But if Dulce described this object as an inverted letter U, then Ray saw in front of him a glowing multi-colored translucent object of a rectangular shape. Only its dimensions were still the same, about a meter in diameter. The object hovered at a height of about 120 cm above the living room floor. Ray called this object the “Plasma Energy Creature”.

Then he developed a kind of tunnel vision, thanks to which he could only see the space that was about a meter around the object. The rest of the living room was hidden from his view. Ray couldn’t understand what was happening, and didn’t even think about his wife and dog, who had just disappeared into thin air right before his eyes. Automatically, he went up to the bedroom on the second floor, went to bed and quickly fell asleep. According to Ray, this Plasma Energy Being then completely controlled his consciousness.

“I immediately fell asleep…and I don’t remember having any conscious thoughts during those 45 minutes. After I ‘woke up’ from this semi-conscious hypnotic trance, I ran down the stairs.”

Entering the living room, Ray Hernandez saw his wife and dog Nena materialize in the same place where they had disappeared 45 minutes earlier. Dulce began dancing around the room and playing with the fully healed Nena, who was jumping and hopping back and forth as if she was a puppy again.

At the same time, Dulce joyfully shouted: “An angel cured her!”

“My reaction to it was like an ATOMIC BOMB exploded in my head. My reality was completely shattered. I just couldn’t cope with what had just happened."

“About a week later we took Nena to our vet Phil Cruz and he asked us what was wrong with her. We were too embarrassed to tell him what really happened and instead told him we changed her diet. He couldn’t believe us because what happened was unbelievable."

“We asked him if we should continue giving her the previously prescribed arthritis pills and diuretics and he said no because she is very healthy now. We immediately stopped giving her any medications and she lived for about another year, spending these eleven months in the rhythm of the life of a young dog. And then, in the last two weeks of her life, she quickly “sank” to such a level that we finally had to euthanize her at Phil’s clinic. It was at this time that we finally told Phil what really happened."

“Phil looked at me and my wife with a very strange look and completely ignored our statement about why Nena was actually cured. We realized how crazy he thought we were both and changed the subject. He then continued his conversation as if nothing had happened. This is exactly how almost all of our friends reacted when we told them about our UFO experience.”

According to Ray Hernandez, his wife does not remember anything about what happened to her in those 45 minutes when she disappeared and he was passed out. It was a classic episode of “missing time” among abducted UFOs. She did not remember leaving the living room at all and she is also firmly convinced that she saw an object of a completely different shape than the one her husband saw.

According to Dulce, it was as if there were no 45 missing minutes for her. She didn’t feel any gap between the time she called Ray down to the living room and the time she ran around the living room with the cured dog.

According to ufologist Preston Dennett, the case of the dog Nena is only the fourth case known in ufology of UFOs curing animals.

Other cases involve an injured rooster that was healed by strange “rays of light” and two dogs that became much more energetic and lively after the sighting of the UFO. Interestingly, there is also an even more unique case where extraterrestrial beings were concerned about the state of plants. In particular, ufologist Diana Tessman reported an incident in which a forestry worker came face to face with an alien who gave him advice on how to keep forest trees healthy.

Canada's best-documented UFO case still intrigues 57 years on


Stan Michalak UFO drawing.

Michalak's sketch of the object. Image Credit: Stan Michalak

Almost six decades ago, a chilling encounter with an unidentified object left one man with physical injuries. On May 20th, 1967, Stephen Michalak had been searching for pecious metals along the shores of Falcon Lake, Manitoba when he was alerted to the presence of two strange glowing oval-shaped objects hovering around 45 meters away from him.

After descending rapidly toward the ground, one of the objects stopped in the air while the other continued its descent until it came down on a flat rocky outcropping a short distance away. Curious, Michalak walked over to investigate. He estimated that the object, which had the appearance of a bowl with a dome on top, measured approximately 40ft across and 15ft in height.

He noted that he could hear muffled voices coming from what looked like a door on the lower half. Believing the object to be of terrestrial origin, he called out and asked if the occupants needed help. When he failed to get an answer, he poked his head through the door, reporting a "maze of lights."

At that moment, startled by a panel sliding open on the wall, he stepped back, grabbing the exterior of the craft as he did so. This turned out to be a mistake as it was so hot that he burnt his gloves. Then, without warning, the entire craft started to rise into the air, expelling a plume of extremely hot air that set Michalak's shirt on fire and left him feeling acutely nauseous.

A later medical examination revealed burn patterns on his body consistent with his story. For the remainder of his life, Michalak maintained that what he had encountered was some sort of experimental aircraft and remained adamant that he had never claimed that it was alien in origin. He died in 1999, never knowing the truth behind what it was that he saw that day.

Don't mistake lack of talent for genius
Did anyone ever come out & explain how Ed Walters (The Gulf Breeze Sightings) fooled a lot of people including Bruce Maccabee? I remember a video where Bruce put Ed's Poloroid camera in some sort of box that was sealed in such a method that if it was tampered with, he could tell & it would be obvious. Yet Ed takes another picture of his quasi translucent flying saucer & Bruce puts his stamp of approval on it that it's a real saucer.

I know Bruce put his stamp of approval on other cases that are false like the Guardian case in Canada, the New Zealand light filmed from an aircraft, Paul Trent & Rex Heflin's saucers and that one time when he thought the light of a computer mouse in the dark was a UFO. This makes me think that in order for Bruce to say Ed's wonky looking saucer is legit & he proved it by the experiment mentioned above, that he was perhaps in on it.

The Flatwoods Monster case was fascinating to me. Below is a sketch of the creature along side a photo I found of a certain type of owl as well as a History Channel MonsterQuest episode about it (which for some reason for the first time ever I heard it referred to as "Lizard Monster"). The story starts off with the crash of a UFO.

Forgotten Incident: Huge UFO Blocking the Sky Over Xiaoshan Airport

In the summer of 2010, the skies over Hangzhou’s Xiaoshan Airport became the center of attention as a huge UFO disrupted the regular bustle of air traffic. On the evening of July 7th, operations came to an abrupt halt when unidentified lights appeared, leading to a cascade of delayed and rerouted flights.

The alert was triggered by bright lights in the sky that moved erratically. Reports claim that air traffic controllers at the Hohhot Air Traffic Management Bureau spotted the object on their radar.

A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi.



The incident was so exceptional that the airport even sounded the air defense siren for it and warplanes patrolled all night. At that time, thousands of people at the airport witnessed the scene, taking photos and videos of different quality.

Eighteen flights were affected. Though normal operations resumed an hour later, the incident captured the attention of the Chinese media and sparked a firestorm of speculation on the UFO’s identity.

After about an hour, the object and the lights suddenly vanished and passenger jets were allowed to land. Fueling speculations further, Hangzhou residents released photos, taken in the afternoon before the delays, of a hovering object bathed in golden light and exhibiting a comet-like tail.


Real UFO video from 2010.

Less than an hour before the Xiaoshan airport shut down, residents said they also saw a flying object emitting red and white rays of light. Ma Shijun was taking a nighttime stroll with his wife when he saw the object.

“I felt a beam of light over my head. Looking up, I saw a streak of bright, white light flying across the sky, so I picked up the camera and took the photo. The time was 8:26 p.m. However, whether the object was a plane, or whether it was Xiaoshan Airport’s UFO, I don’t have a clear answer,” Ma told the Xinhua news agency.

The Hangzhou meteorological authorities proposed a more mundane explanation, suggesting the afternoon visuals were likely reflections from an aircraft. Zhu Jing, curator of the Beijing Planetarium, supported this theory regarding Ma’s photograph, comparing the image to the familiar sight of an airplane’s strobe lamps.

The following day, reports emerged from Chongqing, where another unidentified flying object was sighted, adding to the nationwide curiosity and debate.

After a few days, Chinese news reported that authorities learned what the UFO was after an investigation, but “there was no appropriate time to publicly disclose” the information because it had a “military connection,” state-run China Daily concluded.

And that’s literally all. Yes, that’s where the news on this scale ends. No investigations, nothing. This incident happened in 2010, when smartphones were not popular, but thousands of people witnessed UFOs, so many videos and photos were left on the Chinese network at that time.

A day later, all these videos and pictures were deleted by government departments. Even the news of CCTV reporting the event was deleted on that day. Only a few photos and videos left. Despite conflicting official explanations and eyewitness accounts, the true nature of the lights remains an open question.

The Mysterious Spanish Humanoid Invasion of 1968

One curious aspect of the UFO phenomenon is how many sightings seem to come in waves, with many witnesses coming forward in the same area within a short span of time, for whatever reasons. This is true not only for UFOs, but also for their supposed occupants, and paranormal researcher and author Albert S Rosales has uncovered one such wave of encounters from 1968 in Spain and has kindly passed along a selection of bizarre reports from that year. Here we will look at a country that at the time seemed to be besieged by an array of humanoid sightings and high strangeness.

Quite a few of these reports from 1968 seem to have happened right in people’s own homes, the safety of their own rooms not enough to protect them from the strange. One such case involves a man named Ventura Munoz, from Colmenarejo, Madrid, Spain. One night he was drifting off to sleep when he was pulled from its clutches by a “deep voice” calling out to him. As he sat in the gloom looking about for the source of this intrusive voice, a large, dark humanoid shape materialized from the murk before him, with eyes that were “an intense red, very persuasive and perversive.” This mysterious figure apparently offered Munoz anything he desired, but the man refused and began praying. As soon as the praying began, the strange entity simply melted away into the darkness, never to be seen again. What was going on here?

That same year an 8-year-old witness in Malaga, Spain, woke up to quite the strange sight, indeed. There, standing in her bedroom, were three curious small humanoid figures, described as having large heads and rough skin. These entities apparently took her to a craft outside and within it performed an examination on her, during this process implanting some sort of device in her body. There is no word on what happened to her after this, and her case remains a conundrum.

Another 8-year-old known only as “Julia G” was in her bedroom in Huelva, Spain, when she woke to see "a dark-skinned woman that was at the same time extremely luminous” looming over her at the foot of her bed. This enigmatic woman was dressed in a white robe and was rather creepily just standing there smiling at the witness. The scared little girl allegedly hid under her covers, after which she felt something grasp at her several times. When she dared to look again, the figure was gone.

In the summer of that year, a Trinidadian named Gomez Sanchez was at her home in Capuchinos, Malaga, Spain, doing chores along with a young neighbor when they had an experience they would never forget on the indoor patio of the home. As she went about her chores, her attention was suddenly captured by a thin figure with long hair and less than a meter in height, with a disproportionately large head resembling that of a “newborn.” The sight sent her running and screaming as the entity jumped up to run along the rooftop while letting out “a loud howling scream.” A neighbor by the name of Jose Santana Cordoba heard the ruckus and went to the rooftop armed with a large club, where he saw the creature himself but was unable to catch up to it before it disappeared. Dubious police were called in to investigate but found no evidence of such an entity.

One morning in November of 1968, a 6-year-old witness was playing at his house in Barrio del Carmen, Valencia Spain, when he saw perched upon an outside terrace a “strange, winged creature” that looked like it was looking around for something. The witness purportedly approached this bizarre creature out of sheer curiosity, and as he drew closer he could see that the wings were leathery and bat-like and that the thing was devoid of feathers. When he got closer, the creature whirled around to face him, and the witness could see that it had “a semi-human face, and its body was human like also and it was perched on a pair of feet that ended in claws.” This beastly thing then lifted off on its wings and flew off out of sight.

1968 also brought plenty of these sorts of encounters that occurred outdoors. In January of that year, an unnamed witness was at a boarding school in El Escorial, Madrid, Spain and he decided one afternoon to climb a nearby hill with a friend. After reaching the top of the hill, they spied a “solid, dull looking cigar-shaped object,” and although no humanoids were actually sighted, the timing of the incident is interesting. Rosales’ report reads:

They looked at it for a few seconds before they could comment on it and decided it was not a cloud since the edges were crisp and there were some obvious 3 dimensionalities to it. The object was huge since they actually had to move their heads from left to right to see it end to end. Within 15 to 20 seconds the object seemed to shrink in size, tilt and vanish. To their estimation the whole incident lasted not more than 30 seconds. They ran down to the school to report what they saw, and a group of the other children were very excited when they saw the witnesses. To their surprise their excitement was due to the fact that both had been missing for over 2 hours and had missed lunch and the head count. Fortunately for them the Franciscan monk in charge of the school was very sympathetic and offered to call the local US air base (Torrejon) to ask about the phenomenon. The base reported that there had been no scheduled test flights that day but were very interested in a personal report. Both witnesses declined.

The fact that this happened towards the very beginning of the whole humanoid wave is intriguing, indeed. The very next month there was an odd sighting when a huge, hairy creature looking very much like Bigfoot was seen drinking from a pond at El Escorial, Madrid, Spain. The hairy biped was apparently seen by other witnesses in the area at around the same time. In spring of that year, a 14-year-old witness was working on his father’s farm when he saw something odd in the wooded area nearby. The report reads:
The 14-year-old witness was working on his father’s land located in a wooded area when around 11:30 a.m. he saw emerging out of the tree line located next to the Vencherque River at about 200 meters away two shiny metallic ‘objects or figures resembling “metallic robots”, silvery in color and about 2.5 meters in height, which were walking towards the witness with their arms straight down on their sides and without moving their legs. Both entities seemed to move in unison and had square heads and thorax and on each of their hands they were carrying some sort of metallic ‘briefcase’. When they were about 60 meters from the witness he ran home and notified his parents of what he had seen. Immediately the adults searched the area but failed to find anything.

That same spring, a woman in Monte Ulia, near San Sebastian, Basque Country, Spain, saw a bright light descend towards a peach tree in her yard. When the light touched down it disgorged two very tall men, wearing white diving suits and what appeared to be ‘wings’ on their backs. They apparently spoke to the witness in Spanish, saying they were looking “for passage.” The woman lost consciousness and the next morning when she examined the area she found it to be scorched, the tree burnt to a crisp.

Also that spring, four young girls were out collecting flowers in Palmar de Troya, Andalucia, Spain, when witness Ana Garcia Gonzalez saw movement behind a nearby bush. When the girls approached, they saw a human-like figure. When they drew closer they could see that it was a beautiful, ethereal-looking woman with a “round and pink face, large black eyes and wearing a brown mantle.” At the time, the story hit the media, and flocks of people gathered in the area convinced that the girls had seen the Holy Virgin Mother.

That same month, in March of that year, an unnamed witness was taking a walk next to a deserted, ruined castle at San Vicente De Sonsierra, La Rioja, Spain on a very quiet night and had sat down on one of the patio areas almost falling asleep. At around midnight, he snapped out of his sleepy stupor to see standing just 10 meters away three huge humanoid figures with very wide shoulders that were completely covered in black hoods that reached all the way to the ground, and each one carrying what appeared to be a scythe. These enigmatic intruders apparently just stood there staring at the witness, and all three had “large round red eyes that seemed to blink unison as they looked at the witness.” The witness allegedly fled in terror and hid in a nearby grapevine field until morning.

In the summer of that year, a young man visited an area of Palmar De Troya, Utrera, Andalucia, Spain with his family in the hopes of seeing an apparition of the Virgin Mary that had been frequently seen in the vicinity. They joined a group of other people there for the same reason, and Rosales’ report continues:

At sundown, the group waited for something to happen, looking around in all directions. After what seemed to be quite a long time the witness spoke to one of the men present who seemed to be very well informed of the situation and happenings. This man pointed to a nearby wooded hill where the “Virgin” had been seen recently. The man then walked towards the hill and entered the woods, quickly disappearing from the view of the others present. Meanwhile, as the young man watched the man disappear behind some trees, he saw what appeared to be some type of “humanoid” figure, which had suddenly appeared, completely immobile and silent. The strange figure resembled a thick “bowling pin” it didn’t seem to have any depth and was facing towards the group. It lacked any arms or legs or any discernible facial features. It was the height of a man, and it was uniformly shiny, even though it did not illuminate its surroundings. It supports itself on the ground by its bottom base.
Surprised by what he was seeing the young man was unable to move. He yelled at his family asking them if they had seen the strange figure. Apparently, his family and the others had not seen a thing. The others thought he had seen the man who had walked into the woods earlier. Still staring at the strange figure and watched as it disappeared and then reappear again within the wooded area, finally disappearing from sight for good. Perplexed by what he had seen the young man immediately returned with his family to Sevilla. As they drove back on the highway the whole family observed flying above the fields on the side of the road, it looked like a glowing cloud. Even though it seemed to be moving at the same speed of the automobile and going in the same direction it eventually fell back and was lost from sight.

What was going on here? That same summer, in August, a witness by the name of Pedro Pablo Barrios was driving between Betanzos and Villalba, Spain, when he suddenly saw a very luminous object shaped like “two plates glued together” and with an “antenna” rise into the sky near his vehicle. The strange craft rotated and he could see that it had two bright lights on each end and a sort of “H” shaped device with three hanging leg-like protrusions on its belly. The report says:
The craft chases Barrios approaching very close on two occasions. Finally, Barrios stopped and parked on the side of the road to see the object more clearly. A few seconds later the object rose up into the air and vanished. According to the witness during the “chase” he saw several pedestrians on the road who apparently also saw the object and had to “lay flat on the ground” to avoid being struck by the low flying craft.

Although there were no humanoids sighted on this occasion, the timing is once again interesting. In that same August, a rancher by the name of Jose Pio Mayo was bringing back the cattle to the town of Belagua, Navarra, Spain, accompanied by his dogs when he suddenly saw what appeared to be two approaching shadowy figures that seemed to be hovering over the ground in a wingless object that looked sort of like a canoe. The report continues:
Jose watched awestruck as the object and figures approached within 10 meters of his location. According to Jose the occupants of the ‘boat’ saw him and then made a sharp right turn and quickly disappearing into the brush. The whole time his two dogs cowered between his legs. The two figures appeared to have been sitting inside the ‘flying canoe’, side by side. The canoe-like object was about 4-meters long. At no time did the occupants communicate or acknowledge the presence of the witness. The object flew at very low speed the whole time. That night Jose was unable to sleep and the next morning returned to the site to check but did not find anything out of the ordinary. However, his dogs refused to accompany him. One of the dogs had to be put down several days later as it developed a strange malady all over its body, something resembling tumors.

The following week, a local man by the name of Juan Gascon del Toro was returning on his bicycle from hunting on some local pastureland in Aldaya Valencia Spain, and as he turned a corner, he saw about 100 meters away an object which had apparently landed on a field. This object was described as being football-shaped and standing on four metallic legs. What was even stranger than this was what was lurking nearby. The report reads:
Next to the object were some figures which the witness first thought were children. However, as he kept approaching the object and arriving to within 40 meters from it, he stopped and looked directly at the craft. The craft was about 8 meters in diameter and about 3.20 meters in height, its base was about 60cms from the ground and had landed on three leg-like protrusion the same color as the object. On the top of the craft, he could see what resembled a metallic (iron) antenna connected to a shiny protrusion on the top of the craft. He could see a door, about 1.50 x 0.50 m, on which stood two apparently occupants of the craft, standing on a protruding four rung “ladder” (again the same color of the craft). The humanoids were approximately 1.45 m in height, were wearing helmets with dark visors, similar to diver’s and from the area of their mouth protruded a sort of segmented ‘rubber hose’ which connected to their chests, brown in color. On the chests they wore a wide belt. They were dressed in white diving suits; the belt seemed a little ‘dimmer’ than the rest of the suit. They also wore small white boots. The humanoids were completely indifferent to the witness and just observed him without any apparent reaction. Del Toro then boarded his bicycle and took a side route losing sight of the landed craft. The encounter lasted about 1 minute. He heard no sounds during the encounter.

The following month, on September 24, 1968, a local shepherd in Puerto Serrano, Cadiz, Spain, saw a “round luminous object” in a nearby field emitting bright beams of light. As he approached, he apparently heard voices calling his name, but the craft suddenly rose up into the sky and disappeared at great speed. Interestingly, on that very same day a woman in Cedeira La Coruna Spain, saw a bright light and two tall figures walking towards her on a rural road, each one of them with "lights of changing color were visible on their faces.” There would later be found a burned area around 2 meters in diameter wrenched into the grass at the site.

In November of that year, businessman Francisco Donis was driving near Castillo De Alarcon, Cuenca, Spain on his way to Malaga when he received a telepathic message instructing him to go to a certain isolated location. He felt overwhelmingly compelled to go there, and when he reached the designated spot he was surprised to see a disc-shaped object hovering above 3 meters from the road next to the road. The report says of what happened next:

As he watched an opening became visible on the craft and a retractable ladder descended to the ground, on which a human-like figure descended and approached Donis with arms outstretched in an obvious sign of peace. Speaking in perfect Spanish the stranger informed Donis that his name was “Francisco Atienza” and that he was a descendant of extraterrestrials. The stranger was totally human in appearance and wore a one-piece gray diver’s suit. A long conversation ensued between “Atienza” and Donis, which took place inside the witness car. Atienza told Donis that he came from a planet called “Urin”, whose original inhabitants were short, large headed humanoids. However there existed on “Urin” a human colony, which lived under huge glass domes, since the atmosphere of “Urin” was toxic to humans. He further explained that life under these conditions had caused a massive sterilization among the human colony, which had more female members than males.

That same month, just two days later, witness Manuel Trejo was returning home in his car near Zafra, Extremadura, Spain, when suddenly the engine of the car began to falter as his headlights flickered and dimmed. Moments later, he claims that an “invisible shock wave” struck his vehicle hard enough to cause his vehicle to careen from side to side. He managed to keep control of his car, and after rounding a bend he saw standing in the road a humanoid figure wearing a tight-fitting diver’s outfit completely covered in tiny red, green, and blue lights, “like a Christmas tree.” These lights became ever more bright and brilliant as the witness drew closer, but he continued on, passing the figure and letting the strange humanoid fade into the distance. This report would be followed by a wave of UFO sightings in the same area, including a number of which that involved people seeing blurred figures through opaque windows on the craft.

Reports like these would continue all through December of that year until suddenly dropping off, leaving us to wonder about many things. What was it about this place and this year that attracted so much strangeness? One thing that is interesting to note is the wide range of descriptions of these entities. What could this mean? Were these aliens, or perhaps was this a rift opened between realities, with interdimensional interlopers coming through some veil between dimensions to bleed over into ours? Or maybe it was just delusions and overactive imaginations? Whatever the case may be, 1968 was surely a bizarre year in Spain.
