Subject: Police Officer Attacked By Flying Humanoid


Police Officer Attacked By Flying Humanoid In Monterrey, Mexico


Hello All,

The following is a partial translation of an article that was
published Saturday, January 17, 2004 in the Mexican Newspapers,
"El Norte" (The North) and "El Milenio." (The Millenium) Thank
you Jaime Maussan for providing the pertinent news material,
audio and video files.

*A URL is provided below for any who may wish to access and
study the originals. I post this news story to the List because
of the similarities between the 'humanoid' that was sighted in
this case and the reports of UFO abductees regarding the
appearance of the 'abductors.'

Briefly, on Friday, January 16, 2004 a Monterrey (Mexico) a
municiple police officer named, Leonardo Samaniego had a
terrifying encounter with a flying 'humanoid' entity that was
draped in black. You can see and hear the videotaped testimony
of officer Samaniego at the URL provided below. The flying
humanoid was also independently videotaped as it flew around in
the sky over Monterrey. See single frame captures from the
video at:

The incident shocked and upset the officer so much that
afterward he fainted on the spot.

For those of you who read Spanish, a JPEG of the article is also
available at the URL above.

For those who cannot read/understand Spanish, following is a
partial translation of the more pertinent parts of the officers
testimony taken from the news article for El Norte written by,
Luis Antonio Rivera.

Article appeared in El Norte on Saturday, January 17, 2004

"A municipal police officer testifies that he saw what looked
like a 'woman in a black gown' descend from the trees as he was
patrolling his beat in a squad car in 'la zona.' The descent was
slow he said. As if it was floating."

"She was wearing a black gown (or robes) and had large,
completely black eyes with no pupils."

"When this 'witch' started to make a move at me, I immediately
contacted my fellow patrolmen by radio and I summoned
assistance."

"The situation was intolerable and caused the officer to lose
consciousness."

"I saw it walking toward me and I put the patrol car into
reverse gear. I saw it start to tumble and fly. It impacted on
the windshield of the car. As I continued to look at it, I
raised my hands and fainted.

"Police department coordinator, Jesus Garcia Krestsh stated that
officer Samaniego will undergo a complete psychological
examination along with testing for drugs in order to eliminate
hallucinations as a cause for the incident."

In the videotaped news interview officer Samaniego describes the
eyes and black gown as in the news article, but he adds the
description of a "helmet" or "headpiece" it was wearing that
curved downward to a point at the back of the creatures' head.
You can view the video at the URL provided.

As a personal note, part of my interest in this story has to do
with something that happened to me many years ago in Manhattan.
In broad daylight. Up until a few years ago, the only one I had
ever told of the incident (besides my wife who I told the second
I arrived back home) was during Budd Hopkins investigation of my
own case.

Long story short... I once saw a much 'larger' version of the
humanoid creature described here walking the streets of
Manhattan. For many years I considered that I had had a _major_
league hallucination. That is until I first got corroboration
from Linda Moulton Howe via a case she was investigating in the
UK, again later from another abductee, and now again from
officer Samnaiego from Monterrey, Mexico.

Interesting, fascinating stuff. Budd Hopkins may be close to the
truth with his speculations about 'aliens and invisibility.'
These 'things' may be walking our streets unseen, except by a
few under extraordinary circumstances. It's a sure thing that
the creatures can rely on people who do see them keeping their
mouths shut about it. If not for finding Budd, I never would
have told _anybody_ about it.

Amazing report. Thanks again Jaime. I'll talk to EBK about doing
a program segment on SDI about it. Please keep me informed about
any developments in the case.
