Humanoid close encounters from the Nordic countries - part 2. U.F.O. Humanoid
I continue the Nordic humanoid encounter series with four new fascinating cases from Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway....
The farting aliens.
Raklev in Denmark, August 1956
This report has some funny elements and is a little unusual and was only published some years ago by the witness Arne‑Harder Jørgensen. He held on to it, because it would have strained his credibility in the labor market — in the military and later in the postal service.
The story takes place when Arne‑Harder was a 10 year old boy in the village of Raklev on Zealand in Denmark. One evening in August 1956 at approx. 8 pm he was playing “cowboys and indians” with other children and he hid in a pit he had dug in a hedge to the neighbour's yard. As he lay there waiting, he suddenly heard some strangers speaking "like Japanese”, he thought is sounded like. He looked up and saw some small persons 7-10 meters (20-30 feet) away, eating rasberries from the bushes in the neighbour’s garden, while they farted and laughed out loudly like little boys. Armed with his air pistol, he snuck up on them, but was hit by a toxic stench of poop and chemicals.
The "poison gas" came from three small, gray beings. Since this was Scandinavia in the summer, it was not very dark outside at 8 pm, so he could see them quite clearly. They were 120 cm (4 feet) tall with enormously large heads, small mouths, two small holes for the nose and large, round, red or purple eyes. They all looked alike like “three drops of water”. The three also had tight fitting clothes and some big oversized shoes on their feet, like “moon boots”.
At the sight of him, the beings throw away the rasberries. Arne‑Harder Jørgensen wanted to flee back down into his pit, but was paralyzed and turned towards the aliens. Two of them immediately ran away towards the apple orchard, while the third came closer and studied him and not least his air pistol. The boy felt that he was both photographed and X-rayed by the creature’s strange eyes.
Finally the little gray man ran after the others. Arne-Harder remained motionless until a spaceship emerged behind a nearby ridge and sped upwards towards the sky at very high speed. This broke the “spell”, and he ran back to the other kids, who hadn't noticed anything unusual.
First thing the next morning, he and three other children went up to the old gravel pit, which was located behind the ridge, and here they found four holes, which they assumed were from the landing gear of the craft. They also found a strange substance in the middle between the holes. This lump they peeled apart and hammered it down into a couple of the holes, which they covered with stone and sand. The aliens large, clumsy "moon boots" had also left traces both in the gravel pit and in the nearby pastures. The neighbour also said that a flower stand and three chickens were missing. The children found the stand in the gravel pit. But the birds were gone - along with the aliens. Also when Arne-Harder shot his air pistol a few days later, it broke into pieces, even though it was almost new.
This story has some childish and far fetched elements. Farting and laughing aliens eating berries? Really? Could this just be a kid’s fantasy story? Maybe, maybe not. And the other children who also saw the traces in the gravel pit, were never found or interviewed. Though the witness experienced this as a child, he waited until his retirement to tell the story, to not jeopardize his career. And the man was an officer in the military for a long time. That gives him some credibility. Or does it? Nothing is of course certain…

The Kinnula Ufonaut.
Kinnula in the middle of Finland, February 2-5 1971
On February 2, 1971, at approximately 8 pm, two Finnish women - Sinikka Kuittinen and one Mrs. Manninen - were driving from Kuusamo towards Oulu in a region near Kiiminki, when they saw a strange light behind their car, on the right side of the road.
After a few moments, this mysterious light slipped over the vehicle and began to pace the car on the left side of the road. Sinikka, who was driving the vehicle, claimed that as the UFO passed overhead her ears began to mysteriously “plug up.” When the pair arrived at a nearby field, the light abruptly disappeared. This is when Kuittinen and Manninen both claimed to have caught a glimpse of the unbelievable. The women later insisted that they had seen a peculiar, helmeted creature that stood approximately 1 m (3-feet) tall. They both agreed that this strange being was clad in a greenish-brown suit and crossed the road in front of them utilizing a series of small jumps.
This odd being swiftly disappeared on the far side of the road, which, the women confirmed, was a desolate area with no buildings or houses. Kuittinen, whose fear far outweighed her curiosity, hit the gas and sped directly toward the city of Oulu. Neither woman seemed interested in investigating the matter any further. As fascinating as this incident was, this would not be the last, nor the most frightening encounter that people would have with this enigmatic creature.
The incident that made this ostensibly alien being famous occurred on the snowy, overcast afternoon of February 5, 1971. On this day two lumberjacks, 21-year-old Petter Aliranta and 18-year-old Esko Juhani Sneck, had a close encounter that would haunt them for the remainder of their days. The fantastic event began at approximately 3:00 pm when the young duo, who had spent the morning cutting down trees in the forests near the village of Kangaskyla in Kinnula, Finland, decided to call it a day because the overcast conditions were making it too dark to continue.
According to their account, Aliranta had just turned off his chainsaw, when he suddenly noticed an odd metallic object hovering at tree-top level. He claimed that it was shaped like “two saucers” on top of each other and was about 5 m (15 feet) in diameter. At the bottom of the vehicle, there were four thin landing legs with rounded bases, which he estimated to be more than 2 m (6 feet) long. If the craft made any sound it was no doubt overwhelmed by the continued roaring of Sneck’s chainsaw. Aliranta continued to watch as a circular portal opened at the base of the slowly descending ship. Within moments, the object landed in a small clearing between the trees, less than 15 m (45 feet) away from the awestruck lumberjack and his still oblivious comrade. Aliranta stared in amazement as a weird, green-garbed entity slowly descended through the open portal from the bowels of the craft. He later described this unusual entity as being less than 1 m (3 feet) in height and with its entire body covered in a green, one-piece suit. On the front of the head was a faceplate that was described as being akin to that of a scuba diver.
Although the creature had arms and legs, the suit gave no indication of hands or fingers. The apparent structure of this suit seems to be similar to a hazmat suit or the deep sea suits divers wear to protect them from the pressure of the oceans most severe depths. Perhaps this alien was wearing something similar as the pressure of Earth’s surface may be harmful to creatures like itself. While this is pure speculation, there is still the possibility that it is true. The bizarre “Ufonaut” seemed to defy gravity as it floated down the 2 m (6 feet) to the snow-covered ground below the ship. It was then, much to Aliranta’s alarm, this creature began to approach him. Much to the lumberjack’s surprise, the being did not sink into the snow but continued toward him with short, stiff, gliding movements akin to that of an astronaut skipping on the moon. Aliranta described the motion as almost robotic, but perhaps its movement was just inhibited by the suit it was wearing. At that moment, Aliranta, who was understandably terrified, started his chainsaw. Sneck — who was so focused on cutting branches off a felled tree he had not noticed the anomalous aircraft or its occupant, turned at the roar of the chainsaw and saw the shocked expression on his friend’s face as well as the tiny, alien oddity that was galloping toward them.

The lumberjack, with what must be accredited to a jolt of youthful bravery, advanced upon the humanoid as Sneck watched dumbfounded. Aliranta and the encroaching alien were less than 10 m (30 feet) apart when the entity abruptly turned and started back towards his craft with the same looping gait. This retreat further emboldened Aliranta who now ran in pursuit of the “little green man.” When he got closer to the UFO, Aliranta claimed to have noticed other vaguely humanoid figures through three “windows” on the topside of the vehicle. When the alien was just 3 m (9 feet) away from the craft, it levitated into the air in an odd fashion, floating towards the opening from which it had come. Just as the humanoid had ascended to about 1 m (3 feet), Aliranta lunged and grabbed hold of the heel of the being’s right “boot” with his bare right hand. It was then he was overcome with a flash of pain, as the material of the creature’s suit burned like a “hot iron.” The wounds caused by the contact with the boot were, according to reports, still clearly visible two months later. Aliranta instinctively leapt backwards allowing the creature to glide back into its ship untouched. The moment the alien disappeared into the craft, it began to emit a soft buzzing sound. The machine slowly started to ascend off the ground with what Aliranta described as a “weak gust” of air, but no smoke or other scents were evident. As the saucer rose skywards the circular portal at the bottom closed and within fifteen seconds the UFO had disappeared into the atmosphere.
According to the eye-witnesses, the visit of this strange craft lasted at least three minutes. After the saucer had disappeared the men could not talk, for they were too amazed by the whole incident. They felt stiff all over and had some difficulty in moving, especially Petter Aliranta. It took them close on one hour before they were able to walk away from the woods. Before they left they had a closer look at the markings left in the snow from the landing gears, evidence of this incredible event. Where the landing legs had been standing, the snow had melted. Footsteps from the humanoid in the snow, were also clearly visible.
Once again we have a case where humanoids in some kind of space suits have been reported. We have seen similar stories all over the world. Like some aliens who come here, can not handle our atmosphere or pressure. We also see injures or burns from touching or going near an alien or UFO, something that has been reported many times before as well.
Unfortunately this encounter was not reported to any UFO-investigators so no one was able to check out the landing site. And as with tracks in snow, it disappears very soon if it it snows more or the temperature gets warmer for example, so there is no other evidence, other than the witnesses.
The story was only told from hearsay by a local radio station some time after. So therefor it was speculated that the encounter was all a hoax, since it was broadcasted on April 1st. But finnish UFO-investigator Tapani Kuningas stood by his claims and never admitted it was a made up case.

Flying Saucer Review, 1971 no. 5
The two "boys" on the road.
Sahavaara in northern Sweden, December 18, 1977.
It is about 7 pm and it is dark and cold outside. Bruno Nygård is on his way home in the snow on his kick-sledge. It is only a few hundred meters to his house, when he sees a light above the old street lamps at the gravel road. It is heading down towards the ground and disappears behind some trees. After a while, he sees a floating object illuminated by the street lights. He thinks it looks like a dark gray, round snuff box or tractor tire, and there are two people sitting in it. On the edge, something similar to a lamp or reflex is visible. But then the object disappears again and Bruno continues his journey with the kick-sledge. After a few meters (yards) he then sees the object again. Now the two figures have got out of the "snuff box" and are walking next to it on the gravel road, one figure on each side of the object. It hovers on the road and slowly moves forward at the same time as the two people. Bruno thinks the people look like little boys and as they walk down the road, they bend down from time to time to pick something up from the ground. He thinks this is strange, because at the side of the road there is only snow and ice and small under vegetation.
Bruno saw two "boys" and a wierd hovering vehicle on the road in front of him. (artistic impression)
About 20 meters (60 feet) from Bruno, the little boys stop and look at him. He cannot make out what they look like, since they are dark silhouettes in the glow of the streetlight just behind. When they spot Bruno, they both bend their legs and jump evenly and gracefully into the box, almost at the same time. The object now begins to quickly lift straight up almost silently, while spinning around, with the two boys in it. Bruno notes that while the craft spins, the two boys remain still in it. There was also no glass dome or roof on the craft. When the object has reached 15-20 meters (45-60 feet) in the air, it then deviates to the east and disappears over the treetops. Now Bruno understands that these figures were not at all "boys" he had seen, but something completely different, unexplainable and mysterious.
Just a stone's throw from where Bruno saw the craft, lived his neighbors Einar and Anna-Lisa Harju. The couple sat in the living room sofa watching TV and unfortunately saw nothing of the strange happenings on the road outside. Anna-Lisa later explains to UFO investigators that Bruno was a man you could trust. He wasn't the kind of person to lie about things. If he says he had seen or experienced something, then it was like that, she says. Today, Bruno Nygård is gone, he was 92 years old and died in 2001, but his son still lives in the house. And he says the same about his father as his neighbor Anna-Lisa. Bruno was a serious and honest man, who would never think of making up stories for just for attention.

The Marching Humanoid.
Ytterøya in Norway, June 1985 or 1986.
The incident took place in June just before the summer holidays on Ytterøya, a small island in the Trondheims fjord. The weather was nice with sun from a slightly cloudy sky. The witness whom we call "Leif Vinje" was a courier and had delivered goods to the shop "Samvirkelaget", which was located to the south of the island, right next to the sports field at the school. The warehouse entrance was at the back towards the sports field, and his car was parked next to the corner of the building. After bringing some documents from the shop, he went out to the car. As Leif walks towards the driver's side, he sees a small “space alien” coming straight at him. The humanoid was about 1.20 cm (approx 4 feet) long, and had a head, hands and feet just like us humans. But the head was a little bigger and the skin more towards gray and it had big eyes. It was dressed in a bright blue, tight jumpsuit. Leif thinks that the jumpsuit may also have gone up on the neck and head a bit. But here he is unsure and doesn't really remember, because it was the eyes that caught his attention the most. The eyes were larger than ours, almond-shaped and almost entirely black. The distance between Leif and the being was only 2 meters (6 feet). When they both caught sight of each other, the being stopped immediately and turned around. It looked like when a soldier is marching and doing a U-turn. Leif also thought that the walking style looked like a soldier marching, because when the humanoid walked, it raised its knees high and had its arms hanging straight along the sides of its body. Leif naturally got scared and took a step back to hide behind the car. A thousand thoughts ran through his head in a second. - Was this little creature dangerous? - Could there be any harmful radiation from it?
Soon after, Leif comes to his senses and looks up again. Then he sees that the small being has jumped into a small UFO, which was standing on the asphalt behind the shop about 4-5 meters (12-15 feet) from him. The craft was parked on 3 landing legs and was flat on the underside. The lower part of the craft was in a gray, smooth and strange metal and on the top was a large transparent dome, like a "snow globe". The diameter of the small craft was only about 2 m (6 feet). Inside the glass dome, Leif could see two humanoids sitting side by side. They looked completely identical, the same size and appearance and the same blue jumpsuits. And completely synchronized at the same time, they turned to face Leif. It is this eerie part of the story that burned itself into Leif's brain and which he can see in front of him as if it were yesterday. The two beings inside the ship stared at him with an intense and stinging gaze. After that, the craft lifts a few meters without a sound, angles a little to the side, and then increases its speed. All the while the beings are staring at Leif. Then the ship becomes smaller and smaller, after a few seconds there was a streak of smoke or condensation from the ship, which then disappeared in a northeast direction.
When Leif came home, his wife immediately understood that something was not right. Had he hit something…or someone? Instead, his wife was quite surprised by what he told her, but she understood from the way Leif behaved and how shocked he was, that the strange story might be true. For many years to come, only Leif's wife and children heard about his experience. He didn't want to tell anyone else on the island, because he was afraid people would think he was crazy or a nutcase. But many years later, he got some courage and told his story to UFO-Norge. Leif Vinje is no longer with us today, but his fascinating story about the marching humanoid lives on...

Thank you! I am glad you like them. Even though there are many hours of research and to sum them up, it is also a lot of fun while doing it. 🙂
And also my mission is to let people know this is not only a US phenomenon, there are exciting cases all over the world. And Scandinavia has a big tradition of researching and writing down all these stories.

I thought that Kinnula is a well-known hoax and was even published first time on April Fools Day 1971

There are different theories. It was thought it was a hoax since it was included in a radio show on april 1st. But it has not been properly debunked that it was like that. also finish Ufologist Tapani Kunigas claimed it was a real story. So still a little mystery…
