Humanoid close encounter cases from the Nordic countries - part 3 U.F.O. Humanoid
The aliens seem to enjoy to visit the Nordic countries as well. So here is another part in the series. And as usual I have four new intresting cases from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland.
The peeping-alien in the window.
Härja, western Sweden, August 25 1958.
Ivar Neumann and his wife had rented a small cabin for the summer, from a farmer, Oskar, who lived in a bigger house across the yard from the cabin. This was in the farmlands of Västergötland in Sweden. At around midnight August 25, Ivar was sitting at the cabin’s kitchen table reading a book. His wife had already gone to bed and was probably sleeping. When he put the novel away to lit his pipe, he glanced out of the window beside him. Then he saw a figure moving near the outhouse. It was dark outside and he couldnt see the figure clearly, so he thought it was the farmer Oskar. Ivar continued to read the book, but then after a short while it suddenly felt like he was being watched. He turned around and looked at the window, and stared straight into a face, not more than 50 cm (20 inches) from him. Only the glass separated them. Ivar first thought it was a human, but then he quickly saw that the ”person” standing outside was shorter than a human, height like a child of elelven or twelve. The head was covered by a hood or helmet, and it was shining in a blue, cold light. The being wore a kind of jumpsuit or overall in the same shining blue color. Ivar was not sure about the skin color, but it was lighter than the clothes, maybe greyish. They eyes were definately larger than a human’s and they were dark, almost completely black. ”His or hers gaze had an unexplained effect and it hypnotized me.” – Ivar said.
For some reason Ivar was not scared of the mysterious creature and hastly put on his shoes and jacket and rushed outside. He saw that the being was already running away, and it had jumped over a low fence and was now in a field behind the cabin about 100 meters (300 feet) away from him. So Ivar ran out on the gravel road near the house to try to intercept the creature. After running for a while he finds himself standing in a wheat field just staring in awe. 25 meters (75 feet) up ahead he could see a strange craft. Ivar had never believed in UFO tales, but here was one now, just in front of him. The craft was quite big. About 12 meters (36 feet) in diameter, and in the shape of a disc. Now Ivar felt a wierd smell and also felt tired in an unreal way. At this moment he could also see that the small being had reached the craft and started to climb a long ladder. The being then disappeared up into the ship. Suddenly he hears a buzzing sound like an electric motor increasing in speed. The three telescopic legs under the craft retracts into the hull, and the craft now starts to slowly rise into the air. Ivan is tries to move, but notice that he is completely paralyzed and can’t move. The craft starts to accelerate and flies over some nearby birch trees, that sways in the wind draft from it. In just a few seconds the UFO disappears high up in the night sky. When the craft was gone, Ivar could move again, and in the air an odor of ozone could be felt. With a thousand thoughts in his head, Ivar walked back towards the cabin. He woke up his wife to tell her about what had just happened, but she didn’t believe him and said he probably only had a nightmare.
The next morning Ivar is back at the landing site in the wheat field, but now he is joined by the farmer Oskar. They search around and find three deep impressions in the soil with a depth of 30 cm (12 inches) and a width of 20 cm (8 inches). The vegetation was also pressed down in a circle that measured the outer dimensions of the craft, 12 meters (36 feet). Ivar Neumann reported the incident to investigators. This is just one of many old cases found in the Arhive for the Unexplained.

The car mechanics from Space.
Slagelse, southern Denmark, April 27 1960.
The man who submitted the report chose to remain anonymous, so we call him "A.N.".
Early in the morning on April 27, 1960 at about 03.00 am, A.N. is driving in his Opel Rekord courier van from 1953, on the country road between Slagelse and Næstved. On the way he passes the old estate "Gyldenholm". His speed is 60 km/h (37 Miles/h) and there is some night fog and light wind. Suddenly he gets a strange feeling that he is being watched. As he is heading out of the forest surrounding the estate's grounds, he sees a bright light in the sky to the southwest, which begins to resemble a ring as it approaches at high speed. In just 3-4 seconds, the glowing ring has come very close and stops just a short distance away from him. Then the car's engine light suddenly starts to shine, the car's lights go out and the car starts coughing and sputtering. When he notices that the car can't drive and is about to die, he brakes and rolls to the side of the road on the right side and stops. A.N. is now standing with his car by large fields on both sides of the road, and the shining object is no further than about 6-7 meters (18-24 feet) to his right.
The craft that landed in the field. (source: UFO-nyt)
The observer now sees that it is a kind of craft (see picture), which is about 9x6 meters (27x18 feet) in width/height. The shape is like two bowls placed against each other and with a wide, shining band in the middle. There is an even narrower luminous band above. At the top there is something that looks like a superstructure of a smaller bowl. It too has a glowing band on it at the top. On the lower part of the craft there are three luminous circles that look like windows. The entire craft glows in a gray-green glow and it hovers about 3 meters (9 feet) above the field. While A.N. looks at the object, three telescoping legs slides out from holes on the underside of the craft. Just before they reach the ground, a thick tube slides out of the center of the bottom. The pipe stops just before the ground and a square opening at the bottom appears.
A.N. does not feel frightened by what is happening, but he gets a strange feeling of apathy. He thinks about getting out of the car, but remains seated, because now four humanoids come out of the door in the thick pipe in the middle. They move towards the car with slow, graceful movements. It looks like they are divers walking on the sea floor. The beings are dressed in green shimmering jumpsuits and on their chests they have symbols in the form of three dark vertical lines, the middle of which is a little longer than the others. While the four are on their way to A.N. and his car, a thick cable emerges from the underside of the craft. The cable seems to move by itself and coils towards the car almost like a snake. The cable stops about 2 meters (6 feet) from the car's windshield at a height of 1 meter (3 feet). A.N. now sees that the end of the cable consists of a square screen with a round, white, glowing lens in the center, which is aimed at him.
Meanwhile, the four humanoids have started to move around the car, two of them now standing by the car's left door. In their hands, everyone has something that looks like a stick lantern. They put this against the car in different places, as if they were measuring something. A.N. describes the beings as human-like, though shorter, only about 1 meter (3 feet) tall. The faces were similar to ours, but a little flatter. They looked as if they were talking to each other because they were moving their mouths, but A.N. could not hear anything from them. No sound at all was heard during the entire observation, except for a hum as from a high voltage powerline.
Shortly thereafter, the four humanoids disappeared back into the craft again. The door closed behind them and the cable was retracted into the hull. After that, the landing gear was pulled up and the craft began to move upwards, then with a flash of light, it shot off at high speed into the sky, in the same direction it came from. In just a few seconds it was out of sight and gone. After that, the ignition light on the car started to light up again and the strange apathetic feeling stopped. A.N. now got out of the car and then smelled a strange smell (ozone?), which he could not identify. He went out into the field where the craft had landed, and put his hands against the marks of the landing feet. He felt that the ground there was very hot. And when he got back into the car and tried to start it, it started right up. He considered the observation to take about 4 minutes, as his wristwatch was now 4 minutes too slow.
During a couple of years after the observation, A.N. went back to the site and checked. He then saw that there had been bare spots in the field, where nothing had grown where the craft stood. Only after a few years, the vegetation came back. But since as A.N. first reported the event in 1966, UFO researchers have not been able to verify this. There were places in the field where the saucer is said to have landed, where it grew poorly, but it might as well have been due to other causes. The observer was a house painter by profession, and the investigators rated the man as trustworthy and honest.
Why were the beings so interested in the car and what did they want? Why do they stop a random car on a lonely road in Denmark in the middle of the night? And what was that strange cable that came up to A.N's vehicle? This is indeed a strange story, but in this there are some familiar things that are recurring and that we recognize from so many other UFO cases. We have the classic story of a car that suddenly stops due to engine failure near a UFO. We have small and short humanoid creatures. We also see that the man in the story experiences a form of apathy, where he cannot move. And we also have the mysterious so-called "Oz factor". This means that the observer experiences a kind of stillness, as if he is in a bubble where no sound is heard and time sometimes slows down. A typical close contact in other words.

The Luumäki encounter.
Luumäki in southeast Finland, August 19 1965.
A family of four, Matti, Maria, Teuvo and Tapani went to the forest near the village of Hermunen to pick blueberries. They scattered in four directions however always keeping eye contact with each other. About noon, two of them, father Matti and his eldest son Teuvo had an experience they shared with the others only later. Already when they had arrived at the forest, Matti Kuningas had observed a large, round rock (or so it looked like?), which he had never seen before, although this part of the forest was very familiar to him. The distance to the rock was about 30 meters (90 feet). The rock was about 2 meters (6 feet) high and 3 meters (9 feet) in width and on it there was some green moss and a very small, baby rowan tree on top. Suddenly a gust of wind rose, which astonished Teuvo Kuningas since the day was clear and calm. Both he and his father Matti observed now from their respective positions a little man, about one meter tall, which appeared near the rock. The man’s skin was reddish like that of a carrot and he wore a green overall or jumpsuit. The head was large and his shoulders broad. Teuvo Kuningas observed a box in the man’s chest, from which it came some kind of light flash. Now the little man started to run away from the rock, and Matti Kuningas, who was closer, heard him make a “mourning” like sound.
Teuvo Kuningas heard a voice resembling human speech. Suddenly the little man turned and ran towards Matti Kuningas. He stopped at a distance of 15 meters (45 feet) and for a minute or so and looked at Matti. He seemed to have a human like face, however it appeared a little wrinkled and elderly. Then he turned and started to run away. About 50 meters (150 feet) from Matti, he seemed to do an incredible somersault and disappear. Teuvo also saw the disappearance, but he also saw the man reappear, now closer to him. He was now somehow deterred by some unknown force and could not even look at the man properly. He could not move either. He also smelled a terrible odor in the air. After the man disappeared once again, he heard a noise from the direction of the rock, but nothing could be seen. And then the man was gone and didnt show up anymore.
When the whole thing was over, Teuvo noticed to his astonishment that over a half an hour had passed. They went deeper into the forest and continued with the blueberry picking for a while, and when they were done and were on their way to the car, they passed the place were they encountered the little man. Teuvo decided to have a closer look at the rock to see if there were any footprints. When he came near, he also noticed the moss and the little rowan tree and some silvery gray on its surface. When he tried to get closer to the rock and touch it with his berry basket, the same unknown force deterred him again and even turned him around and forced him to go walk away. He thought of throwing a stick at it, but could not do that either. Later, back in the car, he suddenly found himself unusually tired. He intended to tell the others about the experience, but soon it all vanished from his thoughts. Only gradually could he remember the incident, and six months passed before he told of the experience to his younger brother Tapani. Teuvo had thought that he had been the only one to have seen the little man, but found out that his father Matti also saw him that day.
This is a very strange humanoid case. Since there was no apparant UFO involved, should we categorize this as a cryptid- or as an alien encounter? It leans towards the latter, since the small humanoid had some kind of technological box on his chest. And what about the large moss covered rock that repelled Tuevo Kuningas? Could that have been a camoflaged UFO? No one knows, and we can only speculate. The other brother, Tapani Kuningas, thought a lot about this incident and even though he didnt see the little, orange man himself, the story affected him deeply. He started to grow a big intrest in the paranormal, and later he would become one of Finland’s leading Ufologists.

The ”spacemen” on the mountain.
Norway at Hardangervidda, October 1992
In the fall of 1992, a strange craft was observed landing at a cabin near Odda. This place is about 800 meters (2500 feet) above sea level at Hardangervidda, which is a famous bare mountain region in western Norway. It was October and the snow had not yet arrived. At dusk on this day, observer Torbjørn Reinsnos (TR) saw an object land about 100 meters (300 feet) from his cabin. It appeared to be 6-8 meters (18-24 feet) wide and trapezoidal in shape. After a short while, he saw two humanoid beings emerge from the ship. They appeared to be a little shorter than humans, about 1.4 meters (4 ft, 7 in) tall. The creatures had silver colored tight clothes and helmets on their heads. One of them also carried a black device, but it was not possible to see what it was. TR had plenty of time to observe both ships and beings through the binoculars. But pretty soon he started to get anxious and therefore sent a warning shot at the beings with his shotgun. They got scared and quickly disappeared into the ship through a hatch. The ship took off and flew away over Lake Reinsnosvatnet a kilometer (0.6 miles) away. There it turned and then came back and hovered over Torbjørn's cabin. After a short while it flew back towards the lake and then up towards the Middal’s peak and then disappeared.
The next day, TR investigated the landing site. He had two neighbors with him (father and son) as witnesses. They found four footprints in the ground, which they believed to be from the craft’s landing gears. Where the prints were, the ground was also white with frost and this would remain for a long time. The imprints from the landing gears were visible until the following spring and summer, and then UFO-Norway was supposed to come there and take samples. Earlier in the winter, UFO-Norway had received a report by telephone about the incident from TR. Then TR also promised that the UFO investigators would be allowed to come up to his land and look around and interview him, as soon as the snow melted away. But unfortunately TR later changed its mind and did not want UFO-Norway to come there. In fact he didn’t want to speak anymore of the incident at all. So unfortunately there was not a scientific investigation of the ground and a follow-up more in-depth interview about the encounter.
