Initial data
According to a story first published in a new magazine called "unknown" ("Unknown" magazine), a woman named Catherine (K. T.) Frankovich experienced a sensational afternoon encounter with a creature that is much like the so-called "gray" alien, but with some notable differences. The meeting allegedly took place in Dade County, Florida (near Miami), in may 1992.
CNI News is aware of many reports of encounters with extraterrestrials, which describe many strange creatures. As a rule, we do not present such a report of one witness, for lack of other evidence. But the witness, in this case, seems particularly trustworthy and well-qualified, and was interviewed by respected researcher, author and filmmaker Linda Moulton Howe, who describes the story as "one of two or three major" accounts of eyewitness encounters. she's ever recorded. We are presenting this unusual case in the public interest, without any guarantee of its authenticity.
Linda Howe contacted K. T. Frankovich and played the resulting interview on Art Bell's nationwide radio program "Dreamland" on Sunday evening, January 25, 1998. Bell then interviewed Frankovich live on Tuesday night, January 27. Both interviews could be heard through art bell's AudioNet Archives on the Internet
The following text summarizes the broadcast of Linda Howe's interview.
Howe began her radio segment with the fact that K. T. Frankovich had a long career as a wildlife photographer and filmmaker, so she is an experienced observer and feels comfortable in the wild. She comes from a family of film Directors. Her great-uncle Mike Frankovich Sr. was once the President of Columbia Pictures, and two of her cousins were involved in the creation of such famous films as" Exodus "and" Lawrence of Arabia. " K. T. Frankovich, judging by the tone of the interview, is a down-to-earth, very intelligent and physically healthy person.
The incident began when Frankovich was walking two large "attack-trained" dogs on leashes through a deserted grove of dying leafless limes in South Florida .
She heard a loud noise, as if someone was chopping wood with an axe. Turning to the noise, she says she saw a humanoid standing by a tree.
The creature had "grayish-pink" skin, non-porous and "almost plastic" in appearance. She estimated the creature was four feet nine inches (1.44 m) tall. He was wearing tight, metallic clothing that clearly showed the shape of his body.
"The most disturbing thing that immediately caught my attention was the head," Frankovich said. The upper part of the skull was disproportionately wide, the eyes were huge, black and almond-shaped, with no visible whites or pupils. He had "two tiny nostrils where we might think of the nose being, and his lips were very small and not at all clearly defined, just a tiny slit in his face. His ears seemed a little down and were much smaller than ours, pressed against his head, " Frankovich said.
"The body was just as striking as the head, because the upper torso didn't match the lower torso. The arms were very long, without what we call muscle tone, very thin, turning into very long arms. The hands were six-fingered, definitely six fingers on each hand. I know, because I've counted it more than once. What struck me about the hands - because I've worked quite a bit with primates - is that [the creature's] thumb was in the same place as the human thumb. So instead of four, there was a thumb and FIVE.
"The neck was again without muscle tone, looked thin. The shoulders were not clearly defined. It had a very thin frame and [what] seemed like a small tummy, quite a bit round."
"But then, when you got down on your hips, something unusual happened. The hips were actually OVERLOADED. From the calves, they looked exactly like the legs of a well-trained athlete. I mean bulging muscles.
"The feet were small, I would say too small for the rest of the body, especially for these well-developed legs. On his feet [was] what looked like a cloth boot made of the same metal material he wore for clothing.
"I want to tell people that I was shocked, shell - shocked," Frankovic said. "I've worked with quite a few dangerous animals in my life, worked alongside them, but I've never seen such a creature. Not that I was afraid he would attack me, because I didn't have time to think about it. What shocked me was that I couldn't identify it. And I can tell you one thing: she was just as shocked as I was. We were both at a dead end, looking at each other."
Linda Howe then asked frankovich if She felt any unusual energy, a controlling force, or a telepathic connection emanating from the creature. Howe noted that an article in the magazine "unknown" said that Frankovich's dogs, usually aggressive, simply sat down quietly in the presence of the creature.
The francovich said that with respect to any controlling force:
"I don't like guessing. But I will definitely say that something unusual was happening. They were two huge, aggressive dogs, trained to attack. And the two of them, when they looked at this creature, lay down on the ground and lowered their heads as if they were fast asleep. I can't tell if this creature was controlling them mentally, but I can tell that it was a very strange behavior.
"That look lasted quite a long time because I had enough time to walk over that body a few times and a million things were going through my head," Frankovich said. But then something even stranger happened. The creature ran.
"The moment I saw him running, I understood his legs. I've never seen anything like it in my life, and I'll never forget it as long as I live. Do you know what Thompson's Gazelle is? she asked Howe.
"That's right, they're like springs, like they're on pogo sticks or something," Howe replied.
"Exactly. When they run, when they fall and hit the ground, it's exactly like you said, like pogo sticks-jump, jump, jump with very little effort. That's how it works. I would say that he actually easily jumped three feet (0.9 m) every time his feet touched the ground. He looked like a moving Gazelle.
"Well, I ran with him. We ran through this grove, neck to neck. The dogs ran alongside me, though they never started barking. We ran quite a long distance. It was a damn good thing there were no telephone poles in my path, because I kept my eyes on him. I couldn't. I would have crashed right into a telephone pole and knocked myself out, that's how focused I was. We ran, I would say, a distance of several blocks. It was the most exciting thing I've ever seen in my life."
Frankovich said that they had finally come to a kind of tunnel that they had formed from thickly growing vines on dead trees.
"He threw himself right into it and disappeared. The moment he entered that tunnel - I was still in motion, running with him - I ran into a wall of stench such as I had never encountered in my life. It was a combination of sulfuric acid and formaldehyde. It was so strong that it even burned the nasal mucosa. It was like hitting such a solid concrete wall.
"I immediately realized that there were others in that tunnel, there are many of them. I knew they were waiting for me to go after him. And I really cried out loud, " OOOPS!» I turned around and literally at full speed dragged these dogs in the opposite direction. I'd say we ran a good mile and a half."
Linda Howe asked frankovich if She would return to the position later. She said she and the dogs returned the next day and had another meeting.
"I had my dogs, I was chasing them, and here, here is this black car coming right at me in the grove. Government plates. He rode up to me. In the front seats are two guys, both in black suits. The one sitting next to me on the passenger side said:
"Have you ever seen anything strange in this grove?» And I wasn't going to tell him or anyone else what I'd seen."
Frankovich said the man gave her a business card with a gold White house logo, but no other information that could link them to a specific Agency. After a short conversation, they left. Frankovich got the impression that these people already knew about the creatures and were mostly trying to determine if she knew anything.
At first, she kept the details of her meeting to herself, but then told her husband David Cobb, who recently wrote an article that appeared in the magazine"unknown".
Original news
Says Creature Had Six-Fingered Hands, Ran “Like Gazelle”
(February 1, 1998) — According to a story first reported in a new magazine called “Unknown,” a woman named Katherine (K.T.) Francovich had a sensational daylight encounter with a being that seems in many ways similar to a so-called “grey” alien, but with some notable differences. The encounter allegedly took place in Dade County, Florida (near Miami) in May of 1992.
CNI News is aware of many reports of alien encounters, describing many bizarre beings. As a rule, we would not present such a report by a single witness, lacking other evidence. But the witness, in this case, seems to be especially credible and well-qualified and was interviewed by the respected researcher, author, and filmmaker Linda Moulton Howe, who characterizes this story as “one of the top two or three” eyewitness encounter reports she has ever recorded. We present this unusual case in the public interest, with no guarantee of its authenticity.
Linda Howe contacted K.T. Francovich and played the resulting interview on Art Bell’s nationally syndicated “Dreamland” radio program on Sunday night, January 25, 1998. Bell then interviewed Francovich live on the air on Tuesday night, January 27. Both interviews can be heard via Art Bell’s AudioNet Archives on the web [http://ww2.audionet.com/artbell/archive.html#jan98, Sunday 1/25 (beginning) and Tuesday 1/27 (second hour)]
The following text summarizes Linda Howe’s broadcast interview.
Howe began her radio segment by saying that K.T. Francovich has had a long career as a wildlife photographer and filmmaker and is, therefore, a skilled observer and comfortable in the wild. She comes from a family of filmmakers. Her great uncle Mike Francovich Sr. was once president of Columbia Pictures, and two of her cousins were involved in producing such acclaimed films as “Exodus” and “Lawrence of Arabia.” Judging from the tone of the interview, K.T. Francovich is down-to-earth, highly intelligent, and physically fit.
The incident began as Francovich was walking two large “attack-trained” dogs on leashes through a deserted grove of dying, leafless lime trees in southern Florida.
She heard a loud noise as if someone were cutting down a tree with an ax. Turning toward the noise, she says, she saw a humanoid being standing by a tree. The being had “grayish pink” skin, non-porous, and “almost plastic” looking. She estimates the being stood four feet nine inches tall. It was wearing snug-fitting, metallic-looking clothing that clearly showed the shape of its body.
“The most alarming thing that caught my attention immediately was the head,” Francovich said. The upper part of the skull was disproportionately wide, the eyes were huge, black, and almond-shaped, with no whites or pupils visible. It had “two tiny nostrils where we would think of a nose being, and the lips were very small and not well-defined at all, just a tiny slit in the face. Its ears seemed to be dropped down a little bit and were very much smaller than ours, pressed flat against the head,” Francovich said.
“The body was as startling as the head because the upper torso did not match the lower torso. The arms were very long, without what we call muscle tone, very skinny, extending into very long hands. The hands were six-fingered, definitely six digits on each hand. I know, because I counted them more than once. The thing that fascinated me about the hands — because I’ve worked quite a bit with primates — is that the thumb [of this creature] was in the exact location of where the human thumb is. So there was a thumb and FIVE fingers, instead of four.
“The neck was again without muscle tone, thin-looking. The shoulders were not well-defined. It had a very slender frame and [what] appeared to be a little pot-belly, just a little round.”
“But then, once you came down to the thighs, an extraordinary thing happened. The thighs were actually OVER-developed. Coming down to the calves, they looked exactly like the legs of a well-trained athlete. I mean bulging muscles.
“The feet were small, I would say too small for the rest of the body, particularly those well-developed legs. On the feet [were] what looked like a cloth boot, made out of the same metallic material that it was wearing for clothes.
“I want to tell people that I was shocked, shell-shocked,” Francovich told Howe. “I’ve worked with quite a few dangerous animals in my lifetime, worked up close to them, but I’ve never seen a being like this. It wasn’t that I was afraid of it attacking me, because I had no time to think of that. What shocked me was that I couldn’t identify it. And one thing I can stress to you is that it was just as shocked as I was. We both were at a dead stand-off, staring at each other.”
Linda Howe then asked Francovich if she felt any unusual energy, controlling force, or telepathic communication coming from the being. Howe noted that the “Unknown” magazine article said Francovich’s dogs, normally aggressive, just sat down quietly in the presence of the being.
Francovich said that, regarding any kind of controlling force, “I don’t like to guess. But I will most definitely say something out of the normal was taking place. These were two huge, aggressive, Attack-trained dogs. And both of them, the moment they looked at this being, did lay down on the ground and put their heads down, just as if they were sound asleep. I can’t tell you whether this being was controlling them mentally, but I can tell you this was very bizarre behavior.
“This stare-down lasted quite a while, because I had enough time to go over this body several times, and a million things were going through my head,” Francovich said. But then, something even stranger happened. The being began to run.
“The moment I saw it run, I understood its legs. I had never seen anything like this in my life and I’ll never forget it as long as I live. Do you know what a Thompson Gazelle is?” she asked Howe.
“Right, they kind of spring, like they’re on pogo sticks or something,” Howe replied.
“Exactly. When they run, when they come down and hit the ground, it’s exactly like you said, like pogo sticks — leap, leap, leap, with very little effort. This is exactly how this running. It would actually spring, I would say, easily three feet up every time its feet touched the ground. He looked like a gazelle in motion.
“Well, I took off running with him. We ran neck to neck down this grove. The dogs were running beside me, although at no point did they ever start barking. We ran quite a distance. It’s a darn good thing there weren’t any telephone poles in my path, because I never took my eyes off him. I couldn’t. I would have smacked right into a telephone pole and knocked myself out, that’s how concentrated I was. We ran, I would say, a distance of several city blocks. It was the most fascinating thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Francovich said that they finally came to a kind of tunnel that was formed from densely growing vines on the dead trees. “He darted right into it and disappeared. The moment he entered that tunnel — I was still in motion, running with him — I hit a wall of stench as I have never hit in my life. It was a combination of sulphuric acid and formaldehyde. It was so strong that it actually burned the lining of my nose. It was like running into a concrete wall, that strong.
“I knew instantly that there were others in that tunnel, a lot of them. I knew that they were waiting for me to follow him. And I actually exclaimed out loud, ‘OOOPS!’ I turned on my heels and literally dragged those dogs at a full run in the opposite direction. I would say we ran a good mile and a half.”
Linda Howe asked Francovich if she went back to that spot later. She said that she and the dogs went back the next day and had a different kind of encounter.
“I had my dogs, was running them, and low and behold, here comes this black car, right at me in the grove. Government plates. It pulled up next to me. Two fellows sitting in the front seats, both had on black suits. The one sitting nearest to me on the passenger side said, ‘Have you ever seen anything strange in this grove?’ And I wasn’t about to tell him or anybody else what I’d seen.'”
Francovich said that the man gave her a business card that had a raised gold emblem of the White House on it, but no other information that would connect them to a particular agency. After a brief conversation, they drove away. Francovich was left with the impression that these men already knew about the beings and were mainly trying to determine if she knew anything.
At first, she kept the details of her encounter to herself, but then told her husband, David Cobb, who recently wrote the article that appeared in “Unknown” magazine.
