Face-to-Face: Ten Close Encounters with Extraterrestrials
by Preston Dennett
While numerous governments around the world are beginning to acknowledge the reality of the UFO phenomenon, they remain surprisingly quiet about direct contact with extraterrestrial beings. At the heart of the UFO mystery lies not just the crafts themselves, but the beings that pilot them. The evidence is clear: metallic spacecraft are indeed operated by living entities. The sheer volume of humanoid reports cannot be dismissed, ignored, or rationalized away. This video compiles ten firsthand accounts of encounters with extraterrestrials of various forms, spanning over a century from 1919 to 2012. These events occurred globally, many backed by compelling evidence.
THE SMILING EXTRATERRESTRIAL: In the summer of 1915, six-year-old Bjarne Westvand had a startling encounter in Jakobsbakken, Norway. After playing with friends, he witnessed a bell-shaped craft land and was approached by two figures, each about three feet tall, with large heads and gray skin. They were clad in jumpsuits and conversed animatedly before one approached Bjarne directly. He kept this incident secret for most of his life.
QUARRY ALIEN: On May 30, 1971, Pierrette Debofle was in her backyard in Dannes, France, when she spotted a strange craft hovering just above the ground near a chalk quarry. To her astonishment, she saw a peculiar three-foot-tall being with a glowing head and a stocky body gliding near the object. In a sudden turn of events, the being entered the craft, which then sped away.
THE GITCHIE-MANITOU UFO WAVE: In April 1976, Linda Sehr from Lyon, Iowa, witnessed a luminous object hovering near Gitchie-Manitou State Park, which followed her home. Shortly after, brothers Andy and Joel Rygh, aged 8 and 6, heard peculiar sounds while playing in the park and saw a seven-foot-tall humanoid hiding nearby. They alerted their brothers, and all watched a craft ascend and rapidly depart, sparking a series of thrilling sightings in their small town.
CURED OF ARTHRITIS: On September 6, 1976, Leoncio and Elena Torres were driving in Carabaya, Peru, when a large saucer-shaped craft descended, blocking their path. Two tall beings in glowing suits approached and placed their hands on the couple’s backs, unleashing a wave of heat. Afterward, they found landing traces on the road, and to their astonishment, both were relieved of arthritis symptoms.
THE LITTLE MAN OF DUNN, NORTH CAROLINA: On October 12, 1976, eight-year-old Tonnlie Barefoot noticed a tiny figure, about one foot tall, watching him outside his Dunn home. He shared his story, but few took him seriously until footprints were discovered. Two weeks later, Shirley Ann McCrimmon also encountered a similar little man nearby. Was this an extraterrestrial or something else?
THE ALIEN COUPLE: On the night of August 30, 1977, Ceferina Vargas Martin was walking home when a bright light illuminated her face. She was soon faced with an unusual-looking man and woman with large eyes and strange features. Overwhelmed by weakness, she fainted. Upon regaining consciousness, both the beings and some of her possessions had vanished.
A VERY CLOSE ENCOUNTER: On November 1, 1980, sisters Kristina Rydhold and Nina Grundin were en route to their parents’ home in Hovsta, Sweden, when a UFO circled above them. It approached to within 50
This post highlights an intriguing collection of alleged close encounters with extraterrestrial beings across different decades and locations. The variety of experiences shared, from Bjarne Westvand’s childhood encounter in Norway to the more recent incident in Russia, offers a fascinating glimpse into the ongoing narrative surrounding UFO phenomena. Each story reflects personal experiences that often intertwine with feelings of fear, awe, and sometimes even healing, as seen in the case of Leoncio and Elena Torres.
The mention of physical evidence, like landing traces and witnesses corroborating sightings, adds an interesting layer of credibility to these accounts, even as many remain skeptical. It raises important questions about how we understand and interpret encounters with the unknown. While governments may choose to remain silent on such matters, the growing body of reported experiences suggests that exploring these phenomena could lead to significant discoveries about our universe—and perhaps ourselves.
Preston Dennett’s compilation of these stories serves as a reminder that the search for truth in our skies is as much about the personal experiences of people as it is about the science behind UFOs. Whether we view these encounters as real or the product of imagination, they undeniably stir curiosity and open discussions about life beyond our planet. What are your thoughts on these encounters? Do you find the personal testimonies compelling, or do you think there might be alternative explanations for these experiences?
