We have seen enough
eye witness reports of these unusual events to be comfortable that we are receiving
useful information from time to time. This
one is unusual in the level of actual detail apparently observed as then the witness
not only inspected the craft but also communicated extensively beyond his
capacity to understand.
We have already
reached the conclusion that it is plausible for alien populations to establish
a presence underground on any significant object in our solar system. Thus a Mars population becomes practical. Yet at the time in 1964, popular culture
still hoped for a real Mars surface population.
Here though we learn that agriculture is not practical but could be addressed.
As well we are
informed that there is a significant difficulty in traveling between planets. This is surely true if you cannot manage
gravity and are limited to a one g or less acceleration. Thus the expeditionary nature of this contact
is also possible for a specific population.
Just as clearly it appears unlikely that any such population is
originated from Mars.
My difficulty is
that we have seen ample evidence of much better technology than all that. I can also imagine a practical pathway to get
there with gravity management as well.
Thus this interview describes real limitations is do not expect. Of course it could be disinformation so as
not to overload credulity. Again we get
vague warnings as well. That at least is
consistent with every other contact report.
The time and
place also made it conducive for a farm boy to come forward in the one way
practical and to swear an affidavit.
The Day
'Martians' Made Contact
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
On April 24, 1964, at approximately 10 AM, a 27-year-old farmer named Gary Wilcox was in one of the fields on his 300-acre farm spreading manure at Newark Valley, New York, when he noticed something unusual over by the edge of the woods. Curious, he drove his tractor over for a closer look at a bright flash of light on the hill. The flashing was intermittent, like a mirror reflecting sunlight. When he was about 300' away, the flashing light turned into an egg-shaped object. Wilcox shut off his tractor and walked the remaining 100 yards. When he came in close proximity to the object, the following description was given in the police report:
The first thing I noticed was that it was off the
ground, it was a little bigger than a car in length. It was an oblong shape
something like an egg. There were no seams, rivets or anything like that. It
was completely smooth. It was aluminum color. I touched the thing and the metal
was harder than aluminum and it did not move. I don't know whether it was on
legs or hovering in the air. It was about 20' in length, 4' high and 15'- 16'
wide. While I was feeling it there was no vibration or sound and it was not
hot or anything. While I was touching it, two small men about 4' high came
out from under the tank object. I don't know where they came from. Each of them
was carrying a tray about a foot square. The tray looked like it was made of
the same stuff the ship was made of. Inside the tray was what appeared to be
sod. I was standing about a foot away from the ship
.
One of the figures advanced to within 5' of Wilcox and said:
One of the figures advanced to within 5' of Wilcox and said:
Don't be alarmed. We have talked to people before.
We are from what you know as the planet Mars.
In his police report, Wilcox gave a detailed description of the two figures:
I could understand what was said but cannot tell
whether they were speaking English or not. One
of the men was standing in rear of the other. I could see that both of these 4'
high men had arms and legs the same as us. I couldn't tell whether they had
feet or hands the same as us. They were quite broad for such short persons
or individuals. I could not distinguish whether they had shoulders or not, they
seemed to just go straight down. They had no face, such as eyes, ears, nose,
mouth, or hair. The voice seemed to be coming from about them rather than
from either of them. There was a voice, but I don't know where it was coming
from insofar as their body was concerned. They seemed to have a sort of suit
on that covered where the head would normally be located all the way down. When
they raised their arms, you could see a wrinkle where our elbow would be
located. The color of this completely smooth cover-all-type suit was
whitish-aluminum-tint color. There was no evidence of hair. The only thing I
noticed was the wrinkle when they moved their arms at the elbow.
Wilcox couldn't tell which figure was speaking to him, but it appeared to be the one closest to him. They told him that they had been watching him for some time. In fact, they, assuming their race, had been watching people on earth for some time. He was asked questions about the tractor, the manure and the manure spreader. They were very interested in organic substances, such as soil. Martians obtained their food from the atmosphere and had a very rocky terrain that was not suitable for growing. They knew little about agriculture, but were visiting earth in the hope that they could restore their soil and raise food crops. Cows were quite a mystery to them. They could only come to earth every two years and on this voyage they were collecting samples from the Western Hemisphere. The figure expressed an interest in commercial fertilizer and Wilcox made an offer to bring them some.
The conversation ranged into other topics other than crops, fertilizer, and agriculture. The figure spoke of space, their ship, and of other subjects that went over Wilcox's head.
Part of the reason for learning about soil and agriculture concerned a potential cataclysmic change that might take place. He was told that Mars and Earth will be trading environments, due to the rockets, missiles, and miscellaneous objects ejected into space from Earth. They also advised that people from Earth should not send individuals into outer space. They predicted that the astronauts John Glenn, Virgil Grissom, and the two cosmonauts from Russia would die within a year due to exposure from space. Wilcox was also told that for his own good, not to say anything about the experience to anyone, but the visitor made no threats nor extracted a promise from him to keep the encounter secret.
According to the police report, this was how the encounter came to an end:
They then walked back under the ship and
disappeared. They ducked a little bit when they went under it. The ship then
seemed to hover. I heard a noise that sounded like a car motor idling. It was
not loud. Then it just took off slowly forward above the ground in a gliding
manner and flew over the valley in the direction of Ed Sokoloskis barn and
disappeared into the air after it was about 150' away. There was no heat,
blasting, wind, dust, noise, other than the idling sound, light, or anything
else left behind when the ship took off.
They did not try to harm me in any way and there was nothing with them that looked like a weapon. They did not raise or lower their voice. It was the same throughout the conversation. They did most of the talking.
After the vehicle left, Gary noticed pairs of 2½" square depressions in the ground where the figures had stood. There was also some red dust where the vehicle had rested, evidently from propulsion. It disappeared after a couple days.
I have read this statement and it is true. I realize that the incident described above is unusual, but I do certify that it is a true and accurate account of what actually happened.

Although John Glenn is still alive and well, Virgil Grissom and two others died in the tragic Apollo capsule fire of January 27, 1967, and Russian astronaut Vladimir M. Komarov was killed when his capsule’s parachutes didn’t open upon re-entry on April 24, 1967, exactly three years after Wilcox was given the alien prediction.
Psychiatrist Dr. Berthold E. Schwarz gathered much background information on this case and followed up with an extensive interview of Wilcox at his home on October 18, 1968. Dr. Schwarz was extremely impressed with Wilcox’s obvious background and evidence of stability, integrity, honesty, and intelligence. A detailed chapter length review of his investigation of this case can be found in his two volume book, UFO-Dynamics: Psychiatric and Psychic Aspects of the UFO Syndrome
