Thread: UFOnauts: The Bigfoot, bigfoot-like Connection

Kolomenskoye, south of Moscow, Russia
Date: August 29 1566
Time: unknown
Local peasants in this village located south of Moscow encountered a tall hairy humanoid entity (so-called wood goblin) in this legendary place near the banks of the River Moskva. The frightened locals quickly fled in terror. Other reports indicated that these giant hairy entities have been seen in this area on several occasions and for centuries and reputedly are able to slip into our realm from another dimension. Rumors indicated that there was a gateway or portal into another dimension in the area where large dolmens where located at the bottom of the Golosovyi gully. Decades later on there were reports of mysterious disappearances of residents in the nearby villages of Dyakovo and Sadovniki between 1825 and 1917.
No UFO report here but I thought it worth posting as it may explain their ability to be so elusive and some UFOs are also perported to be from a parallel reality.

Numerous witnesses heard a loud report coming from the sky and saw three tongues of flames shooting down into the fields. This occurred three times in a row. A powerful lighting struck parts of the city causing some fires. Around the same time on the nearby fields a large black cloud-like mass descended towards the ground emitting a loud thunder like sound. From the cloud emerged a huge hair covered figure that ran swiftly across the fields. Several locals attempted to chase the creature but this one was to fast. It ran so quickly that it was able to run circles around the stunned locals. It was able to seemingly appear behind them and then in front of them in a matter of seconds. Those who were able to see it close described it as having a huge multi-colored tail, white, blue, and red. Soon after the appearance of this terrible beast a powerful storm destroyed many farms and houses in the area killing over 80 persons.

A local old man---who was a healer and a witch, saw a bird flying to the forest three times in a row and a voice reportedly invited him to the forest. He went to the forest. Soon he saw a flying disk come and stop for a while above the village. The old man did not come back from the forest. The next day his son went to the forest looking for him where he met a bear-like creature that spoke to him and told him that his father was gone. “The ship of sky took and carried him to a better world where a race which is higher than people on Earth lives.”
Could the bear-like creature have been Bigfoot?


Kolomenskoye, Moscow, Russia

Time: evening
Two local peasants (possibly slightly inebriated) were returning to their village south of present day Moscow on the banks of the River Moskva when they decided to take a short cut through the bottom of a deep gully. Unexpectedly as both men walked between two huge stones they fell down some kind of corridor apparently into some parallel reality or world. There they saw large hairy humanoid entities that communicated with them and explained to them that they had indeed slipped into another dimensional space and that it would be difficult for them to return back to their plane, but they would attempt to assist the men in doing just that. After some time both peasants found themselves back in the gully and immediately ran to their village but to their surprise more than 20 years had gone by since they had initially disappeared. Luckily some of their relatives still remained in the village and remembered them. The men thought that they had only been gone no more than one day. The police intervened in the manner and interrogated the men, incredibly while being interview in front of the police and other local citizens one of the men suddenly disappeared without a trace. The second man fell into a deep depression after seeing his friend disappear and later committed suicide.

Near Humboldt Line, Tennessee
Date: winter 1888 Time: various
The grandfather of James C. Wyatt reportedly stated that while he and several cowhands were staying with an Indian tribe during the winter following the delivery of cattle to a nearby fort, the grandfather communicated with the Indians via sign and verbal language. He was led into a hidden cave and there he saw a hairy man-like creature. The being was neck less, long armed, and covered with long, shiny black hair. The only apparently hairless parts were around its eyes and the palms of the hands. The being appeared tamed and sat with its legs crossed as it consumed the meat, which was brought by the Indian. “Crazy Bear,” as the creature was called by the Indians, was fed at regular intervals by the Indians, that stated that such creatures came from “moons” which periodically land in a nearby valley. The Indians claim that over the years, many “Crazy bears” had been left in the woods, put there by the “sky people.” The “sky people” appear different than the hairy giants, resembling Indians, but with short hair and shiny clothes.

A local woman, Mariyka (Mary) living in a local village near the River Uzh had gone into the forest to fetch some firewood. Some time after that amazed villagers saw her running from the forest emitting terrible screams, “Oh bad trouble,Trouble! Help me, help me!” All her clothes were torn to rags and she was apparently injured, bleeding and with numerous bruises. She then fell to the ground and began to tremble as if in a fever induced seizure. He relatives and neighbors gathered around her then heard her mention something about a “white ape” thathad attacked her and evidently raped her. Mariyka constantly repeated, “Whiteape, white ape”. Despite attempts to make her give additional information as towhat had happened, all she could do was stutter and stammer, showing evidence ofshock. As her conditioned worsened, an elderly local woman, a known healer wascalled to assist her, but she could not help her either but did manage to interrogateher. But all the unfortunate Mariyka could say was that she had met a strange bipedal white hairy ape that had attacked her. The villagers decided that she hadmet the devil. Mariyka died 2 months after her strange and unfortunate encounter.Rmarkably the elderly healer was also found dead, strangled in her home, and thedoors of her wooded house torn open. Shortly before the incident local villagers had observed strange sparkling round objects flying low over the elderly healer’s house. Local militia and then possibly NKVD (secret police) units arrived at the village toconduct an investigation, but the frightened villagers of the previous Hungarianterritory seized by the Soviet Army in 1944 did not cooperate.

Emelino Martinez was walking back from his hunting trip in the hills outside of the city when there was a sudden movement in the bushes nearby. Martinez stopped, motionless, shotgun in the ready, when the thrashing noise sounded again. He waited briefly then resumed his walk toward his parked automobile. Suddenly he heard a blood curling guttural noise. Terrified he dropped his day’s catch and ran for his car, parked in a nearby clearing. An unintelligible shout behind him indicated that whatever creature it was, it was close to him. He stopped for an instant to glance back toward his pursuer. He then saw two bizarre creatures running after him. They were short, and looked like a half man, half monkey. They were covered with dark hair. Martinez reached the car fumbling with his pockets for the keys. He dropped the keys and picked them up and attempted to open the car. He was then suddenly grabbed from behind. He fell together with his assailant into a ditch besides the road. He dropped his shotgun as two powerful arms closed over his throat. He managed to bake free and scrambled towards the car. The creature jumped on top of him, screaming, growling, and biting like a mad animal. He could not reach his shotgun, so he grabbed a large rock and repeatedly smashed his attacker on the head. Screams of pain slashed through the dark night. Martinez saw his attacker move backward, blood spurting from his head wounds. He then dashed to his car. He snapped the door locked as the two creatures lunged against the car, pounding their hairy fists against the windows in frustrated rage. He managed to start the car and drove away at very high speed directly to the police station. The next day, Martinez and some friends returned to the site and recovered his shotgun they also found some blood stained leaves. They questioned locals and were told that strange disc shaped objects had been seen in the area and that; cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and two young farmhands had disappeared on the mountain. The farmers have also seen black, bristly haired dwarfs that hid in caves and kidnapped both livestock and humans. Martinez never returned to the area to hunt again.

The witness reported seeing a metallic saucer shaped object land nearby. A human looking being emerged from it, picked up some pebbles, earth and grass, and took a nest from a bush. The being went back into the craft, which took off at incredible speed and vanished. A few days later the saucer landed in the middle of the airfield, its human like pilot emerged and appeared to inspect it. As several men approached the craft the man straightened up, saw them and apparently immobilized them with some unknown gas. The after watching the witnesses for a moment he walked around the saucer, climbed into a kind of “cigar” which was parked next to the saucer and took off vertically. The witnesses were again able to move. As they neared the object a short stocky hairy being, ape like in appearance with glowing eyes, ran from it and disappeared into the brush. The saucer was apparently left on the ground and was recovered by the American military.Source: Timothy Good, Alien Base quoting Jean Sider

An unidentified man, returning from fishing along the canal at Reims, saw a bright light resting on the grass near the canal. As he approached he saw it came from a cigar shaped object about 26 feet long and 7 feet high. From one end came “phosphorescent” lights, which reflected on the metallic hull of the object. A door appeared from which emerged three hairy beings, about 3 ft 9” tall, walking “crab-wise,” or sideways. The an even smaller being a little more than a yard high appeared, whose lower legs appeared transparent. The witness tried to approach closer, but the entities rushed back inside the object at surprising speed, just as the witness was paralyzed by a red beam of light, which turned yellow, coming from a porthole. The object then took off and flew rapidly towards Tinquex. The witness then recovered his freedom of movement.
