Case · UFO Afrinews No 16, July 1997
Out of Africa: Cambodia, 1971
1971 ยท Tonle Sap, just south of the temples; the account says the unit was stationed with the US Army in Thailand, Cambodia
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
Reprinted from Peter Bostrom's account in the Oklahoma MUFONEWS because it parallels Case 130. On a search-and-destroy mission against Khmer Rouge insurgents, Joe's unit heard sounds like running machinery and found a near-spherical craft on four legs in a clearing with sixteen to twenty-one grey-white humanoids in silver Mylar-like suits. A nervous corporal fired his rifle; an alien fell as if dead, then stood up shaken. A taller being raised its palm, walked over and struck the corporal on the cheek, then signalled to Joe that all was well. The beings packed up and the craft lifted straight off almost silently with a burst of speed. Back at base Joe was interrogated by officers and civilians, one from 'MJ-12', drugged and hypnotised for weeks; the corporal vanished. Two other incidents involved small aliens throwing gas-filled balls.
What Hind made of it
No proof it happened and Joe is unidentified, but Bostrom is vouched for as reliable. Hind flags the MJ-12 reference as suspicious since the name was unknown before December 1984, though she personally accepts such a group exists.
Explanation offered
Possible disinformation; the MJ-12 anachronism
In their words
-
The craft sat on the ground with four legs on pads which retracted into the body of the craft
-
So what is all this; fact or fantasy?
