As I mentioned in the `1947' `alien post' - I have found 3 `entity' reports for 1948 within the MUFON database - and today I will present all three with a bit of commentary concerning what I am finding on these `entity' searches (some of you know by looking in the sidebar or being regular readers that I've also searched `the last week' and several states for `entities' in 2015 - see sidebar for more). Also, remember - the term `entity' is chosen by the submitter of the report - and as I've found so far MANY things in people's mind qualify for using/submitting with the entity tag that MUFON provides to sort reports.... consequently few have `aliens' or `beings' - providing just how rare this phenomena is actually reported. Additionally, I assume that these reports will increase as the years go on and if I continue this series I will probably ONLY probe into the reports with `aliens' or `beings' --- just sayin. Nonetheless - I find these first searches very revealing in that NONE of these reports at the time were adults or even teens - and that despite the beginning of UFO fever - this database lacks ANY real aliens seen as of yet IMO. The search will continue.
So... here's the three reports - RED is my emphasis
Thanks for your readership.

My father had taken a walk sometime earlier in the day and came back to our cabin located on 7 Caves Road in Hightland County between the villages of Bainbridge and Rainsboro, OH. This was either in the Spring or Fall of 1948! We had moved there a year or so earlier from Chillicothe. He seemed very excited and kept telling me he had seen something, a huge owl in an old dilapidated barn located across US 50 which was undergoing some construction at the time. A new widened section with a new bridge was being built. He was acting strange and agitated telling me he wanted me to see the owl. We walked across a fallow farm field that was uncultivated and wild with weeds and undergrowth. We went in the barn and he kept saying how amazing the owl was! As we entered the barn he began pointing excitedly to a cross beam strut maybe 20 or 30 feet above the barn floor. When it was obvious that the owl wasn't there, he seemed to be confused and disoriented and kept telling me about how beautiful the owl was. We stood in there maybe 5 or 10 minutes while he tried to tell me about his encounter. We returned home and my grandmother, his mother was preparing a meal. It was like he completely forgot about the event. I remember asking him sometime later about the owl and it was like it never happened.
The reason I chose to write this report was years later I saw a very large object in the dark of what appeared to be a very large owl resting up in a tree at night. Suddenly the bird or winged creature descended down out of the branches of a tree adjacent to Buffalo Bayou in Houston on a property our group was leasing for a Men's Association dedicated to exploring many issues men face in a changing social environment since the Women's Lib Movement began in the 60's. This was about 1993 or 1994. Something jogged my memory about these two events and their possible connection to each other though separated by decades of time.
==================================
So, no aliens - but is of interest to many as the Owl is a symbolic creature commonplace within the paranormal consensus for some reason. The `forgetting' is commonplace too in UFO encounters of high strangeness... all that said, this is NOT any description of what most folks would say is an `entity'.

1948 - Report 2
Short Description Via MUFON
This was the beginning of a life long visits from UFO`s on our family. My Mother brothers report sighting UFO too
Now, the long version:
In the spring of 1948 in Kelseyville Ca. I was laying in a drawer on a pillow out side with mother while she worked , while my 6 year sister played nearby while Mom was hanging clothes on the line a flash of light in the sky caught Moms attention and she watched a silver disk with sunlight glinting on the surface of the craft. The UFO dropped down through the air moving back and forth in a stair pattern, then it moved closer and closer until craft hovered over Mom and she saw a being in the round window, the Being had a sharp shaped face with pointed ears. The middle of the craft stayed still while underneath the bottom of the UFO spun around. The UFO was silent except for the sound of the wind it created which pulled Moms dress and the clothes on the clothes line toward the craft. After a few minutes, the UFO began to rise back up to the sky about 300 ft where it began to wobble in flight then the UFO began to wobble and descend again, The UFO dropped out of site behind the nearby mountain ridge, then there was an explosion and a fire and shortly after that, the forestry dept. made us evacuate. This was the beginning of a life long visits from UFO`s on our family. My Mother brothers report sighting UFO too. |
I'm sorry... to me...this doesn't quite pass the smell test for me... a lifetime of UFO visits WITHOUT any description of them? A UFO CRASH that no one has ever mentioned anywhere? - THAT said, the oscillating movement of UFOs... especially in the early era of UFO's was in line and UFO's in genetic lines also is within normal banter. BUT all that said.... the BEING description is `sharp shaped face with pointed ears' - and ya gotta love the `round window' via which such a description is possible.
Are you ready for the last report from 1948 that is tagged `entity'? You glutton.

And Finally
Aug 18th 1948 - Uniontown Kentucky - Sleepwalking 4 Year Olds Perception
NO BEING - Submitted 6-26-2015
I was 4 years old and I found myself in deep forest I must have walked in my sleep and next thing I was standing next to a stream trees on both sides and very dark but for the stars off the water. Then a round shadow and then the bright light with a warm feeling hit me and next thing I was standing next to the old house I went inside and lay on the floor and fell asleep. The next time was when I was 12 years old. And one at 68 years old I never would want to tell others because they might think I'm crazy!!! Thank You
Not one description of any being despite 3 supposed experiences....a very implausible story - doesn't pass the smell test IMO.
Lastly for today - don't you find it of interest that DESPITE the database extending back to 1995 (and 1947-48 being just 50 years back at that point of time) - that NO ADULT perceptions of aliens for those years are in the database? After all if you were say 18 in 1947 - you were only 66 (in 1995)... easy to recall memories as more than a child... yet not one person of such an age has YET to submit an entity report of those years. We will see about 1949 perhaps.... looking of the first recall of an alien by an adult. Are these just the imaginations of young children after hearing of the Roswell crash?
