Did ETs crash in China 12,000 years ago?

Every now and then you read a story that is a little different, maybe even seems a little more evidential than most, and it causes you to sit back and to pause, to wonder, and to reflect upon it a moment or two longer than most. The following is, for me, just such a story. If it’s for real then it should prove to be extremely important, while, on the other hand, if it proves to be otherwise, well - oh well - it isn’t the first time and it certainly won’t be the last!

I came across this incredible tale in The Chinese Roswell, written by a German researcher named Hartwig Hausdorf. It essentially goes like this: Back in 1938, an expedition led by a Chinese archaeologist named Chi Pu Tei was exploring the mountain regions of Bayan Kara Ula when, in a group of caves, he and his team discovered a series of unmarked graves aligned in rows. On the cave walls were ancient drawings of stick figures with elongated heads and what appeared to be the sun, the moon, and stars.

The graves were excavated and reportedly contained small skeletons with abnormally large skulls, with very slender skeletal frames, and small bodies of no more than four feet in length. In addition, the team unearthed from one of the cavern floors a stone disk with a circumference of 12 to 12 1/2 inches and a thickness of about 2/5th of an inch. In the middle of it was a hole that was large enough to put ones finger through it. From the center an incised groove seemed to spiral out to the perimeter of the stone disk, and then wound its way back forming a double spiral. On closer inspection it was determined that the grooves actually consisted of spiraling lines of small written characters.

Other expeditions followed and a total of 716 of these disks would reportedly be recovered. Several scientists studied the disks. One of these was one Professor Tsum Um Nui of the Beijing Academy for Ancient Studies. The Professor became convinced that the grooves were some sort of writing, and in 1962 it was announced that a team of scientists working under his direction had decoded their meaning.

Here’s where it begins to sound like a tabloid story. Allegedly the stone disks recorded the details of how an extraterrestrial spacecraft crashed there some 12,000 years ago. While nearly all of the occupants survived, the craft was too damaged to repair, and, frightened by their unusual diminutive and strange appearances, a local tribe called the Ham hunted down and killed many of the crew. This story was very similar to an ancient legend of that region of China that told of small yellow beings who descended from the clouds and were, in large part, killed off by local inhabitants.

The Ham were also small in build, so were the ancient remains theirs, the ETs (called “Dropa” on the disks), or perhaps they were of alien-human hybrids?

Russian scientists studied several of the stone disks and in the Soviet magazine Sputnik, one Dr. Vyatcheslav Saitzev reported that when placed on a special turntable and “played” an unusual uneven “hum” or vibration was produced. Chemical analysis revealed that the disks were composed of large quantities of cobalt and other metallic substances. Cobalt, it so happens, is present in that region of China.

Over the years, the controversial stone disks disappeared. During the Cultural Revolution that began in 1966 and continued on into the late 1970s, much death and destruction occurred, as well as vandalism. Then, in 1974, Austrian engineer Ernst Wegener was touring China and while visiting the Banpo Museum near Xian he came upon a couple of these stone disks. The museum’s director knew a lot about all of the artifacts on exhibit except those two, and offered that perhaps they were some sort of ‘cult disks.’ In March 1994, Hausdorf himself visited the museum and inquired of the disks. At that time there was another director, a professor named Wang Zhijun. It was evident to Hausdorf that the professor didn’t want to talk about the subject. Then Prof. Zhijun revealed that the former museum director and the stone disks had vanished without a trace just a few days after Wegener’s visit in 1974. When asked what became of the stone disks, the museum director contradicted himself by saying that they did not exist and then right afterwards saying that they had been relocated.

In 1978, a book entitled Sungods in Exile, written by one David Agamon, told the incredible story of the expedition of an “eccentric” British scientist named Dr. Karyl Robin-Evans who went to the Bayan Kara Ula mountain range and spent six months with the Dropa. The Dropa were a dwarfish tribe of several hundred people whose tradition was that their ancestors had originated from a planet in the Sirius star system. Their spacecraft crashed here and many of the occupants had been killed.

Hausdorf wrote that Ukrainian scientist Dr. Vladimir Rubtsov had written him that Sungods in Exile was only a work of fiction that had been worked around rumor and legend, and was only believable to the very gullible. But, Hausdorf noted, in November 1995, the Associated Press had reported that some 120 dwarfish people had been discovered living in Sichuan Province in Central China. Later, Chinese ethnologists attempted to discount the dwarfism of these people due to high concentrations of mercury in the soil of the area. However, Dr. Norbert Felgenhauer of the Munich Institute for Toxic Surgery informed Hausdorf that the mercury explanation was nonsense. He pointed out that mercury is a lethal poison that is harmful to the organs of the body. While death can occur DNA is not affected.

So there you have it. Quite a tale, eh? Do you think it’s ‘for real’ - the genuine article?

If anyone has any thoughts they’d care to share, feel they’ve got any possible insights into this story, or if anyone should have any actual data on the matter that they’d care to share, this writer would certainly appreciate hearing from them. (email: apfiles@hotmail.com)

Is there a history of sex-crazed alien dwarfs?  

In the Dec./Jan. 1993 edition of the now defunct International UFO Library Magazine, one Charles Silva presented an article entitled “Extraterrestrial Abductions in Peru.” Silva presented the following accounts:

June 24, 1968, early morning, near the small village of Orcotuna, in the Peruvian Andes some 14,000 feet above sea level. A 16-year-old mountain girl was found several miles away from her hut in a state of shock. She claimed that she had been taken from her bed by a group of small demons. The tall one of the group had sex with her. This coincided with Inty Raimy, an ancient Sun Festival celebrated around the summer solstice which goes back to the time of the Incas. The local elders felt the girl had encountered the “karka” (Quechua word), which means small, mischievous creatures who like to play pranks on humans.

At Chanchamayo, a “curandero” (medicine man) recalled an episode where three women had to have exorcism-like rituals performed on them to remove demons. Sexual assaults by “duendes” (gnomes) was described.

February 1970, near village of Yungay, a midwife reported the disappearance of her “very pregnant patient.” Two days later, the patient turned up childless near the foot of a mountain said to have been too far for her to have walked on her own. She alleged that she had been taken up into the clouds by little people in flying “tin houses” where (she said) “they took my baby.”

In the front of the magazine, the author of this article (Charles Silva) was listed as a contributing writer with Peru next to his name. So presumably he personally gathered this data in the field.

Although it sounds pretty far-fetched, little people and the sexual element have been a part of stories and lore from all over the world, and their similarity to the modern alien abduction cases containing sexual/hybrid elements is also unmistakable. Jacques Vallee, in his 1969 book Passport to Magonia, reviews a large volume of this data. He describes how pregnant women and young mothers are most often abducted by the little people, as well as young children (sometimes leaving in the abducted child’s place one of their own children, called a changeling). The North American Indians had many tales about these little characters and their penchant for abducting women and children. Unfortunately, according to the Arapaho, Blackfeet, Shoshoni, and other tribes, these little people were cannibalistic. Richard Hack, in an article entitled “UFO Stories of the North Western Indians,” (FSR’s Beyond Condon special edition, 1969) referring to the cannibalistic dwarfs described in the legends of the Shoshoni and the Bannocks, and how they’d eat children and then imitate the child’s voice afterwards to attract the mother, noted: “Curiosly enough, these cannibals would never eat men. Instead, they would invite them into their homes and offer them food.” In fact, Hack recounts the story attributed to Red Plume, a famous Crow Indian chief who allegedly described how while on a vision quest at the Medicine Wheel near Sheridan, Wyoming, three little men a and a little woman took him underneath the ancient stone Wheel where he remained with them for three days and three nights, being instructed on the arts of war and how to be a good leader.

Hack also refers to how the little creatures allegedly had incredible physical strength (i.e., allegedly a dwarf was once seen carrying off two calves, one under each arm, they were said to run faster than humans, and could not be killed by arrows), and Hack compared this aspect to similar reports from South America, where there have been reports of these stout little devils beating men up. Noted German Protestant minister and writer Kurt Koch described in his book Satan’s Devices (1978), that while he was giving a series of lectures in Pucallpa, Peru, he met a Piro Indian who, speaking through an interpreter, told Koch how he had once encountered a two foot tall dwarf of great physical strength who threw him to the ground. He laid unconscious for some three days.

Coral Lorenzen, in her book Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of the Invasion From Outer Space (1962), noted than the South American ufonauts tended to fall into three categories. Strong three-foot-tall hairy midgets, who reacted quickly and violently to humans, and then 4-foot-tall and 5-or-more-foot-tall human-like beings who preferred to run away from us and avoid confrontations. Vallee noted (The Edge of Reality, 1975) that the aliens generally fell into two categories: the “outside alien” and the “earth-bound” alien. He said that the “little people” were definitely the earth-bound, for they were often described living in caves, had oversized heads, came out mainly at night, had large eyes, and were quite clever and psychic. Then he described the “outside alien” as being much more man-like, as being a kind of “god from space” archetype. Brad Steiger has noted that the American Indians divided “supernatural visitors” into two categories: the Star People, glowing lights in the sky, and the “little people” who co-inhabit the earth with us, living in fields, forests, and, of course, subterranean realms.

Steiger has also written about Native American lore that relates to the sexual theme and these “visitors.” One legend he cited was from the Chippewa Indians, although he pointed out that the basics of the tale could just as easily have emerged from the British Isles. It’s a story about a young hunter named White Hawk who one day came upon a mysterious circle on the ground. Curious, he decided to conceal himself, and to wait and watch for awhile and see if he could find out what had caused it. After awhile he heard the sound of music in the distance. It seemed to be coming from the air. He looked up to see a cloud descending. As it drew nearer, the young hunter could see that it was no cloud at all. Steiger described it as a flying “basket device” containing twelve beautiful young maidens who were beating a drum. As the basket settled down into the midst of the circle, the maidens jumped out and began to dance around the basket. Meanwhile, the sound of a drum beat continued to issue from the basket. Then White Hawk reached out to touch one of the dancers nearest him. At this point, the maidens saw him, leaped back into the basket, and instantly ascended skyward.

White Hawk didn’t give up. He continued to visit the circle and await the return of the Star Maidens. It was on their third visitation (the third time is the charm, right?) that he finally managed to capture one of the young beautiful maidens. He returned with her to his lodge and she became his wife. Soon they had a lovely baby boy.

As Keith Partain points out in his book Psi in the Sky (2001), when he borrows from Vallee, who borrowed from British scholar Gordon Creighton, a myth is “truer than truth.” But what “truth” lurks behind the global tales and traditions of these mysterious “little people.” Is it all part of what Vallee calls a “control system,” or what Jung referred to as archetypes of the collective unconscious? Or, are they what traditional Christians refer more specifically to as “demons”?
