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 1956 Conashaugh report described two fair-complexioned humanlike little men, approximately three and three-and-a-half feet tall.”

“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.”

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

“Three small beings reported at Brusque were described as roughly three feet tall.”

“The two Cennina occupants were described as slightly over three feet tall.”

“Bill Schuening’s 1947 Oregon report described two small occupants at approximately three feet tall.”

“In the Quarouble report, two diving-suit-clad figures were described as less than three and a half 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.”

“The Cennina occupants reportedly wore gray full-body suits from neck to feet, waist-length cloaks and red leather-like helmets.”

“The two non-robotic Cisco Grove figures were described as wearing light-colored, silver or whitish uniforms with bellows-like sections at the elbows and knees.”

“The Schuening figures were described as wearing green suits and white helmets beneath a hovering silvery sphere.”

“Clark groups several 1954 French and Italian reports in which small humanoids were described in diving-suit-like or metallic diving-suit clothing.”
