Large UFO entities – not little grays!

Ideal’s UFO Magazine [June 1978] had three stories in which witnesses observed eight foot tall beings emerge from or were near strange craft on the ground.

In Military Bases Under Siege by UFOs! by the Editors [Page 30 ff.] was this account:

Near Midnight, January 13^th, 1976, a civilian guard at the Williams Air Force Base in Arizona saw a thirty foot, in diameter, craft with a twenty foot landing gear that acted as a stairway.

Descending the “stairway” in jerky movements was an occupant with short legs and arms that dangled “almost to the ground.”

“Most of his height was taken up by a long, thick torso. He had a human-like face [with] two tear-shaped eyes, reflecting the glow from the UFO.”

The guard, Jim Petrelli, reported “a buzzing in his head, dizziness, and the powerful smell of rotten eggs.”

A passing car shined its lights on the intruder, showing a “gray and scaly skin.”

“The headlights seemed to jolt the alien….[which] retraced his erratic steps….climbed into the glowing saucer-like object [which] began to rise….vanishing into the night sky.” [Page 32]

In The Eyewitness Report of the Incredible UFO Invasion of Antarctica” by Yvonne S. Durfield [Page 45 ff.] “AQ1 Roger D. Benson, 30, of Norfolk, Virginia, was towing a load of waste material to a McMurdo site…on December 11, 1958.”

“Benson spotted an object in the distance….” – an object that “resembled a side-view of an airplane fuselage [with] ‘girders’ [like] a lattice of supporting structures which must have been the landing gear.

“The ‘fuselage’ was a cigar-shaped cocoon of metal with a small indentation that might have been a door…

“Then I saw the creature…”

Beneath the parked object, a creature with semi-human characteristics walked in slow circles.

“He as very thin and grayish in color. His arms dangled all the way to the ice…he seemed to have man-like facial characteristics except that his face consumed [sic] almost two-thirds of his entire height.”

Benson panicked, leaping into his vehicle, heading back to his base.

Looking back he saw that “The ‘fuselage’cocoon – minus its girder-like landing gear…was now climbing into the air.” [Pages48-49]

In the segment “The UFO ‘Flap' Brewing in France” by Jacques Arnoux “In mid-1974…17 year-old twin girls reported seeing an alien step out of a landed flying saucer….a door opened, and an eight-foot humanoid stepped out…[The humanoid had] shiny green eyes, smooth skin, and pointed ears.”

When “the creature saw them watching, he returned to the saucer and [it] took off.” [Page 74]

This depiction of one of the supposed alien creatures that “battled” the Sutton family in 1955 in Kelly, Kentucky is not unlike that of the creatures in the accounts above – except for the height:

How could persons separated by time and geography envision creatures and craft that are remarkably similar?

Is there a congenital delusion that afflicts the human mind?

Or did these persons see what they say they saw?

Where did such “giant” aliens” go, replaced by little gray beings reported in most UFO encounters?

And what about that rotten-egg smell that seems endemic to so many UFO reports (and those accounts of the devil that are rife in medieval literature and some contemporary reports)?
