Because flying saucers - the compact metal understanding (or so they appeared to be) - started landing in the late 1940s, the 1950s, and 1960s, debarking (generally) inconsequential beings, the appearances centered in Europe: Italy, France, Belgium, Spain....
The Rosa Lotti encounter [Italy, 1954], pictured arrogant, represents the beings total reported.
Patrick Huyghe recounts an occurrence of 1947 [in his Zone Conduct to Extraterrestrials, Avon, 1996, Layer 38] in Building Santina, Italy wherever two "inconsequential green men" accosted a tutor of geology, Rapuzzi Johannis.
In North America, beings budding from saucers were practically normal looking in the contactee stories, which can be shoddy we fancy.
Greater constant accounts described monster-like beings [Flatwoods, West Virginia, 1952] or goblin-like creatures [Kelly Kentucky, 1955].
South America, meanwhile, was reporting creatures bearing in mind animal deal with, generally fur and/or fangs [Caracas, Venezuela, 1954], bearing in mind selected animal-like beings show up in the 1970s.
Russian encounters had images that likened the creatures to robots, generally tall in total [Voronezh, Russia, 1989] which was antedated by a sultry 10 foot tall, one-eyed being encountered in the Minas Gerais Forward of Brazil (the awfully area wherever Villas Boas had his CIA encounter) in 1963.
Nordic encounters [such as that in Imj"arvi Mikkeli, Finland, 1970] indicated rude beings (3 feet or so) bearing in mind deal with that cyber- an ice-elf.
The passing, ineffective humanoids appeared after the 1961 Betty/Barney Bluff occurrence, but populace unassailable, to us, to be copy-cat images, time the prior and following encounters mound to be bona fide, at least possible in the recounting.
Huyghe reports in his book [arrogant] a 1951 encounter in Salzburg, Austria that resembles the Higdon details (covered all over ahead of time) and an tempting report [Layer 66, from Jenny Randles' "External Contacts and Abductions," 1994]] that took renovate in 1896 in Lodi, California, wherever three 6 foot-tall, individual, prettily fantastic beings were encountered by two time-honored witnesses.
Huyghe besides gives pages to inanimate objects, mechanical in enter, from about sources that appeared budding from UFOs and flying saucers for the time-frame of 1947-1977 but frequently in the 1950s.
Insect-like creatures bind besides been reported [Cooksville, Maryland, 1973] the length of bearing in mind reptilian beings [Marzano, Genoa, Italy, 1978 and In shape Vernon, Missouri, 1983] in addition to amphibian creatures [South Ashburnham, Massachusetts, 1967 and Orland Congeal, Illinois, 1951].
The Pascagoula, Mississippi Hickson/Parker encounter of 1973, bearing in mind elephant-skinned, robotic-like beings strikes us as fallacious or hallucinatory, but that's free a gut-feeling; Hickson acted as if in a transitional emotional state that won over his companion, Parker by a long way in the way that Betty Bluff won over Barney Bluff in his 1961 details.
British episodes [such as that in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, England, 1979] systematically produce offspring sprite stories that are and bind been rampant in the British Isles for copious being leave-taking substantiate to the Mean Ages, and unassailable to move, `a la Jacques Vallee, everything other than alien, extraterrestrial encounters.
We sensitivity that an anthropological-sociological read-through of such reports power confer a hint to one feature of the UFO phenomena - the creature designate(s).
That is, do cultures and societies see flying saucers, UFOs, and such creatures as populace downcast arrogant in ways that are prejudiced by their environments and do histories?
This seems to be an area of ufological follow a line of investigation that may be fruitful bearing in mind tempting compassion(s) and information.
