LITTLE PEOPLE / DIMINUTIVE HUMANOIDS

“In a cross-cultural comparison, Keel cites Tzeltal traditions recorded by anthropologist Brian Stross describing ihk'al as roughly three-foot-tall hairy humanoids.”

“Keel recounts an anonymous Long Island father's 1966 account of three figures less than two feet tall wearing skin-tight metallic suits, which reportedly ran across his backyard and then vanished from view.”

“In the same 1973 hypnosis-derived sequence, Andreasson reported entering a biosphere-like area aboard a craft and seeing tiny but otherwise perfectly proportioned humanoids.”

“Clark summarizes Bethurum’s contact claim as involving a group of small men of broadly Mediterranean/Latin appearance and a female captain, Aura Rhanes, described as shorter than the men with black hair and an olive complexion.”

“Three figures about three feet tall reportedly emerged at Brands Flats. They were humanlike with reddish-orange skin and penetrating eyes.”

“Aside from their small stature, the Cennina figures were described as human in form and proportion and as appearing somewhat old.”

“The Cisco Grove humanoids had very large dark eyes compared to welder’s goggles; later the witness said their faces looked dark or black and partly covered by suit or hood material, with few other features visible.”

“The 1953 Villares del Saz report described three beings no more than two feet tall with narrow eyes and humanlike faces.”

“Ferro described the small beings’ visible faces as smooth and tan, without wrinkles; tall grass prevented him from seeing much of their clothing.”

“Keel reports that the Tzeltal ihk'al tradition describes these diminutive humanoids as flying with a rocket-like device attached to the back; this is presented as folklore, not as verified technology.”

“Keel compares traditions in which diminutive humanoids are credited with invisibility, flight, unusual strength, abductions, paralysis or mental influence, emphasizing that these are recurring folkloric and testimonial motifs rather than established biological capabilities.”

“Clark says two small beings emerged from the Barroso object; one used a flashlight-like device to direct another beam at the witness’s face before he lost consciousness.”

“One Brusque figure reportedly used a staff-like device to direct a bluish-white beam toward the witness; the account associates the beam with collapse or temporary paralysis.”

“The Cennina figures spoke continuously in an unknown language and behaved in a nonthreatening, even jovial manner.”

“In the Quarouble account a light associated with the object reportedly blinded and temporarily paralyzed the witness while the two small figures returned to the craft.”

“The House, Mississippi, figures reportedly communicated with a chattering sound; one attempted a human-style handshake before the group reentered an egg-shaped craft.”

“In Isabel Davis’s comparison of 1950s little-humanoid reports with contactee narratives, the former are characterized as unexpected and frightening, with behavior that witnesses found difficult to interpret and communication usually absent or unintelligible.”

“One Linha Bela Vista figure reportedly ran toward the witness while the other raised an arm as if warning him back; one then pulled a tobacco plant from the ground before both returned to the craft.”

“The Garanhus figures reportedly inspected a tomato, exchanged unintelligible words, smiled at the witness and returned to two metallic devices that departed in synchronized flight with a slight squeak.”

“Bethurum’s later verse characterized Aura Rhanes as only slightly over four feet tall.”

“The Brands Flats figures were said to wear tight suits matching the reddish/orange color associated with the craft and occupants; the witnesses heard unintelligible speech and later thought the figures moved just above the ground.”
