Fascinating UFO Entity Reports
Late UFO researcher Karla Turner, once told me that researchers routinely ignore details that don’t fit the standard abduction scenario, and that some of the answers we seek will lie in the anomalous accounts. This is the opposite of our tendency to find patterns and correspondences in any set of data, but it may be one of the keys to understanding.
The mark of a good researcher or journalist is his or her ability to take a pile of information and unlock the secrets contained in it. This is often the result of years of study combined with a knack to remember details that do not seem important at first. We have often heard stories of someone who found an obscure fact buried in an old newspaper that ties together a mountain of confusing history. Instead of throwing out the weird stories, the diligent researcher may need to catalog things that may seem extraordinary.
Perhaps whatever intelligence is behind the UFO enigma only seems to adhere to a pattern of behavior because we impose a framework on it. Many UFO occupant reports (especially before the rise of abduction research in the 1980s) contain details about appearance and behavior that just do not fit our image of big-headed, goggle-eyed spacemen. As many have said before, this may be a result of our expectations interfering with perception. This is a powerful factor which resonates with theories of the microcosm that were first proposed by physicists in the 1920s. Data points will often change due to bias on the part of the researcher.
A catalog of entity reports compiled by Albert Rosales is available at the UFO Info site, and to his credit, Rosales has posted incidents from prehistory to the present day. He categorizes them simply by type (based on the circumstances of the sighting) and then lets the accounts speak for themselves. There are some truly weird ones in the hundreds on the site, and perhaps someone can begin a sort of “meta-analysis” of the details to find something that might have so far escaped others’ efforts.
Here is one entry from the Humanoid Sighting Reports for 2007 which describes something akin to the “flying humanoid” stories from Mexico:
Location. Miami Lakes, Florida
Date: January 1 2007
Time: 1630
On a clear and beautiful sunny day while outside barbecuing the witnesses looked up to see a round black object with a silvery lining floating above their house. It floated for about 10-15 minutes and then slowly went up into the clouds and disappeared. Five minutes later another object appeared, this one was first round and silver, but suddenly changed into a tube shape, gold in color, it then went back to being round and silver with four round spinning objects around its circumference. The object kept changing back and forth and sat there for about 10 minutes. Neither one of the objects ever made a sound. Suddenly several military jets began going over the house and the object floated up and disappeared in plain sight. Soon after that the witnesses spotted a black object dropping straight down from the sky into a field across the street. It came down really fast and sort of resembled the figure of a man parachuting, but without an actual parachute. It looked like a tall black figure with two legs, but the upper body was indistinct. The witness then apparently lost sight of the figure. Military jets continued to fly around for about half an hour and then left.

Maldita sea! I had never seen that image in my life! Where do I find this video?
The info says it was taken on a place called Lomas de Plateros, that’s in Mexico city, near Barranca del Muerto, close to Periférico Avenue and Mixcoac Avenue… there’s a prehispanic ruin not so far from there.

I suspect this site is going to distract me for weeks-thank, Greg. At
the risk of being tagged a closet, Globalist, I’ll also say how impressed
I am at how widespread Mr. Rosales has cast the net to gather these reports.
I have spent only a few minutes ( so far ) skimming a few of the years-but
the range and diversity of the encounters ( many of which, I can’t help but note, seem to have no UFO
connection ) boggles my mind.

Is it our expectations interfering with perception, or does the phenomena deliberately take the form of our expectations?
I was reading ‘entity reports’ from the 50’s and 60’s and was struck with just how many cases involved a glowing UFO parked on the side of the road with entities. The entities usually act surprised at the arrival of a car and pack up and leave.
With so many identical accounts, and the fact that this particular kind of encounter isn’t reported much today, it gives the impression that the encounter was deliberatly staged.
