Speaker 1: Rat Faced Creatures from a UFO by UFO history buff

2
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:36,280
and author Charles Lear As anyone who has looked into

3
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,240
the subject of UFO related humanoids knows reported creatures come

4
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,719
in all shapes and sizes, some are more unusual than others,

5
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,359
and a pair of creatures said to be seen in

6
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:54,000
Italy in nineteen seventy eight definitely stand out. In the

7
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:58,840
volume twenty eight, number six, issue, page fifteen of the

8
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,520
PDF of Flying Saucer Review, there is an article by

9
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:10,040
Antonio Chiomiento headlined an Encounter with rat Faces in Italy.

10
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:16,280
The article was translated from Italian and Chiomiento is described

11
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:20,040
as an investigator and member of the board of directors

12
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:27,359
of cun Italian National UFO Research Center Turin. According to

13
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:31,719
Chio Miiento, on the morning of November twenty fourth, nineteen

14
00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:37,280
seventy eight, sixty one year old Gallio resident Angelo di

15
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:43,000
Ambrose went to get some firewood in nearby gastag At

16
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,760
about a quarter before noon. He turned to put down

17
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:50,400
a branch he had been chopping up when he was

18
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,079
gripped with horror upon seeing two creatures looking at him

19
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:59,959
that were extremely close. They were hovering about forty centimeters

20
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,959
above the ground, and Diambros estimated that one of them

21
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,759
was one meter twenty centimeters tall, while the other was

22
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,080
one meter. They were extremely thin and had yellowish skin

23
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,719
that was tight to where Diambros could see large veins

24
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,879
on the head and hands of the larger creature that

25
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:29,000
was closest to him. Their heads were bald, smooth, large

26
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:33,599
and pear shaped, and they had enormous pointed ears that

27
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:38,759
stuck straight up. They had no eyelids and large, sunken

28
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:43,719
white eyes. Their noses were long and almost went below

29
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,080
their lower lips, and they had large mouths with a long,

30
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,960
pointed tusk at each end. They seemed to be wearing dark,

31
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:57,759
tight overalls, and sticking out of the sleeves and leggings

32
00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:01,919
were huge hands and feet that were out of proportion

33
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,639
to the rest of their bodies. Their ring fingers were

34
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:10,400
bigger than the others, and their nails were long. As

35
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:15,319
Diambrose stood frozen in terror, the smaller creature began moving

36
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,120
back and forth in rapid leaps between Diambrose's left and

37
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,479
right side, as though gliding, and without moving its feet.

38
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,639
As it did so, there was the sound of air

39
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,280
displacement and the rusting of vegetation due to its ears

40
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:38,800
brushing the lowest branches of the trees nearby. Diambrose managed

41
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,719
to overcome his terror enough to shout help as loud

42
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:47,319
as he could. He then got the strength to ask

43
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:51,759
the creatures who they were and what they wanted with him.

44
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,520
It was of no use, as he only got incomprehensible

45
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:03,919
mumblings from the smaller creature. Suddenly, Diambrose's attention shifted to

46
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,599
the larger creature that had remained almost motionless about a

47
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,840
meter away from him. The creature grabbed the bill hook,

48
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,399
also known as a sling blade Diambrose was carrying at

49
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:22,199
a spot that had no cutting edge, and attempted to

50
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,959
take it from him. D Ambrose became determined not to

51
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,959
let the creature have it, as it was his only

52
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,399
defense should they should prove hostile. D Ambrose tightened his

53
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:39,639
grip and the creature grabbed onto the tool further down,

54
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:44,040
at which point Diambrose felt what seemed to be a

55
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,680
slight electrical shock. The creature made one more attempt, using

56
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:54,839
both hands, and Diambrose felt what was clearly another shock

57
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,959
go up his arm. Dambrose became furious as the creature

58
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,360
refused to give up, and he used his free hand

59
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,040
to grab a large branch he had cut and was

60
00:05:07,079 --> 00:05:12,079
ready to hit the creature. Both creatures, seeming to recognize

61
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,639
the threat Diambro's pose to them, fled instantly. Dambrose recovered

62
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,079
his normal calm and then, compelled by curiosity regarding the

63
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,480
origin of the creatures, ran after them as fast as

64
00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:34,439
he could along the mule track along which they had come. Finally,

65
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:39,639
in a clearing, he saw a disc shaped metallic object

66
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:44,480
with a dome on top, standing on four legs. The

67
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,600
upper part was red and the lower part, separated by

68
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:52,800
a white band around the middle was blue, while the

69
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:57,680
legs were aluminum gray. Without the legs, it was about

70
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,399
two meters high and four meters wide. As soon as

71
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:05,839
Diambros spotted the craft, he saw the hand of one

72
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:10,000
of the creatures closing from inside the dome a sort

73
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,959
of trap door, by drawing it backwards. The craft then

74
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,639
took off silently at an angle at great speed, while

75
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,600
putting out a burst of red flame. It quickly went

76
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:26,160
out of sight behind some fir trees. When Diambros Got home,

77
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,639
He kept his story to himself, but was so disturbed

78
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,360
that he skipped his lunch. He then decided to confide

79
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:37,839
in his son in law, Luciano Munari. The next day,

80
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,639
Unari got someone to go with him and went to

81
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,560
the spot where Diambros said he'd seen the craft. At

82
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,800
the site, Unari saw a three point five meter circular

83
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:52,959
area of grass that was blackened more from oil than burning,

84
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,839
and swirled flat in an anti clockwise direction. When he

85
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,920
touched the grass, his hands stayed clean. He also saw

86
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,519
two impressions that were U shaped twenty centimeters long, three

87
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:10,959
centimeters wide and three centimeters deep, and some bushes that

88
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,879
had been uprooted, this being the result of the displacement

89
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,120
of air as the object departed. Many of the local

90
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,480
townsfolk didn't believe the story, and Munari decided to photograph

91
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,639
the site as proof. Unfortunately, it snowed and he wasn't

92
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,240
able to get back there until December third. He went

93
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:33,680
with some of the non believers who helped him clear

94
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,480
away the snow, and he took some black and white

95
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,360
photos that didn't show the details of the impressions very well.

96
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,839
He tried again with color film on the tenth and

97
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
circled the marks with yellow paper to make sure they'd

98
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,639
show up. The photos are not included in the article.

99
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Thanks to an initiative of Munari, the story made the

100
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:00,959
local paper Giornale di Vicenza under the headline I was

101
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000
attacked by two Martians. They wanted my bill hook. After

102
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:10,680
it appeared, Diambros was swarmed with curiosity seekers and local

103
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:15,920
UFO enthusiasts. The bill hook's blade reportedly had an imprint

104
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,959
about the size of a pinky, and the cutting edge

105
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,680
had turned red. Local UFO students took it for testing,

106
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,199
but brought it back when they found that the lab

107
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,759
work would be too expensive. Unari told Chiomientho that Diambros

108
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,639
started using it again and that the imprint and discolouration

109
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:41,039
were no longer visible. According to Chiomientho, he he uses

110
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,240
what I assume is the royal We found out about

111
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:48,080
the case when a fellow investigator sent him the article.

112
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,879
He went to Gallio in the fall of nineteen seventy

113
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,240
nine and was told by the Diambros family that the

114
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:58,279
site was still blackened, but he wasn't able to see

115
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,159
it for himself because it had He went there again

116
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:06,159
in February nineteen eighty and got a statement from Munari,

117
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,399
who said he believed his father in law's story and

118
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,000
that he had read UFO report by J. Allen Heinik.

119
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,559
He said he saw there was a resemblance between the

120
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,679
marks he saw and the marks pictured in photos in

121
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,519
the book, which Chiomiento identifies as photos of the Secoro

122
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:30,440
landing site. Chiomiento made several visits and established that Diambros

123
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:35,519
And Munari had good reputations. He compares the creatures reported

124
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,240
by Diambros To the ones reported in the nineteen fifty

125
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,440
five Kelly Hopkinsville case. He then includes descriptions of five

126
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:48,240
more sightings in the area around the same time, including

127
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,759
one where a witness gave photos he'd taken along with

128
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:55,600
the negatives, to a man identifying himself as an Air

129
00:09:55,639 --> 00:10:01,440
Force officer who was never seen again. Demiento predicts that

130
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,399
the Gallio case will become as well known as the

131
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,559
Kelly Hopkinsville case, and argues that it supports the theory

132
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:13,759
which asserts the presence here of UFO occupants of unknown

133
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:19,440
but in any case, non terrestrial origin. Charles Lear is,
