FORMER secret documents detailing a series of strange encounters with UFOs and
aliens have been released by the CIA. The files, which date back to the 1950s, contain extraordinary witness
accounts of extraterrestrials landing on earth. One document from 1952 is a sworn testimony by former mayor of German town
Gleimershausen, Oscar Linke.
He told how he and 11-year-old daughter Gabriella came into contact with two
men in “shiny metallic clothing” and a large object resembling “a huge frying pan”. He described how one of the men had a “lamp” on the front part of his body which “lit up at regular intervals”. In the document Linke recounted the moment his daughter called on him from several metres behind which disturbed the two men. He said the strange pair then climbed into the object which turned from green to red and began to “glitter” and “hum”. It then reportedly began to “rise slowly from the ground and rotate like a toy” before it disappeared “over the heights and forests”.
Linke admitted he would have thought he and his daughter were “dreaming” if not for what happened next. He explained: “When the object had disappeared, I went to the place where it had been. “I found a circular opening in the ground and it was quite evident that it was freshly dug.” The file contains accounts from several others living in the area at the time who also reported seeing a similar comet-like object. Another document from te same year tells of “two fiery disks” sighted in the southern part of the Belgian Congo in the Elisabethville district, now known as Lubumbashi. According to the report, the disks “glided in elegant curves and changed their position many times” giving off a “penetrating hissing and buzzing sound”. Airman Commander Pierre attempted to pursue the objects in a fighter plane and came within around 120m of one of the discs.
He described the outer rim of the UFO as “veiled in fire” with “an
enormous speed of rotation”. The account explained: “Pierre did not regard it possible that the disc
could be manned, since the irregular speed as well as the heat wiuld make it
impossible for a person to stay inside the stable core.” He estimated their speed to be around 900mph. One more report from May of 1952 tells of a mysterious flying object emitting
flashing light over Barcelona. The journalist who spotted it, Valentin Garcia, said: “The newspaper
office was soon flooded with telephone calls from people who had seen the
object.” The following month other witness accounts describe similar incidents over
Meknes, Taourirt and Casblanca in Morocco and Algiers in Tunisia.
