Unique Interview with an Abductee Jan Wolski in 30th Anniversary of Emilcin Case

10th May 2008 marks the 30th anniversary of one of the most amazing close encounters that ever took place in Poland as well as in history of encounters with UFO beings. On that day a simple farmer from Emilcin village in Lublin area met with extraordinary humanoids that then took him onto their craft.

The anniversary is also an remarkable occasion to pay a tribute to primary investigators of the case as well as his main protagonist, the late Mr. Wolski.

30 years after the incident it still remains actual with all the questions still opened to debate. Although it may seem that all the possible steps in this case were done, we would like to present an unique relation of Mr. Wolski who in his own words speaks about the most strange incident in his whole life that made this modest man famous in the whole country and undoubtedly changed his life.

Jan Wolski died in 1990. His story became very popular and was often covered, for example in a book “Zdarzenie w Emilcinie” (“Incident in Emilcin”) of late Zbigniew Blania-Bolnar who researched this case and contained the results and his opinions in the aforementioned book. The Emilcin incident was also deeply researched by the late Kazimierz Bzowski and others.

WOLSKI’S ENCOUNTER BEGINS...

History of Jan Wolski began when he drove his horse cart in early hours on May 10th 1978. At some moment he was approached by two short, green-faced humanoid entities dressed in one-part suits. The beings soon jumped on Wolski’s cart talking amongst themselves in strange language.

When the cart with Wolski and two passengers neared to a forest clearing, the man saw an strange aerial object hovering in the air. Soon he was taken onboard… It is worth to say that the unidentified object passengers left some tracks on the ground while the strange craft was seen by other inhabitants of the Emilcin – the village that still holds one of the most intriguing riddles of UFO cases in Poland.

The rest of his story with all the details is contained in the interview performed with him by Mr. Henryk Pomorski, who met with Wolski two months after his close encounter.

THE INTERVIEW

NPN received this unique material from Mrs. Sylwia Weremczuk – a granddaughter of the interview author, Mr. Henryk Pomorski. The conversation with Jan Wolski was recorded in Emilcin in July 1978 – two months after the close encounter when Wolski’s memories were still very vivid.

Mr. Henryk Pomorski along with Krystyna Adamczyk began questioning the abductee who in his own simple language described them his extraordinary history that took place on the 10th day of May. Tape with the interview for long time remained in private archive.

- Listen the original audio recording -

HP: ... Opole Lubelskie Commune. We talk to Mr. Jan Wolski, age...

JW: 71 [seventy one]

HP: Who has for us lots of interesting things to say… You met some extraterrestrial people. Can you say us how did it happen?

JW: I cannot directly state for sure that they were extraterrestrials because they were similar to us thought tiny, delicate, of small height - about 150 cm. [5 f.]

HP: How did it happened that you met them?

JW: Well… I was driving from Komaszyce, from that side. In fact I was returning from Dabrowa village but the encounter with them occurred on this side of Komaszyce, on a field belonging to me.

HP: When did you see them for the first time?

JW: I noticed them as two people heading toward my cart... Those people [the beings] hadn't noticed me before. When they saw me they began looking at me and then they gradually began slowing down their walk more and more. When I drove closer to them, they divided on both sides (one went in one direction and the second one on the opposite one) and I drove in between them while they in the meantime jumped onto the moving cart.

HP: They sat next to you, didn’t they?

JW: Yes… However, not directly next to me but behind me (the second one also) while I was sitting in the center. Their legs were hanging down.

[Mr. Wolski neither didn’t scorn them nor escaped since similar mode of traveling was some kind of tradition and it would be a discourtesy to drive them off and. Moreover, he didn’t know then who they were in fact.]

HP: Can you describe their outer appearance?

JW: They looked in this way: black outfits covering their foreheads and from here to here and o chin, and here they were green.

HP: What about their faces?

JW: They had green faces and palms as well, from here. It was in this way.

HP: In which language they spoke? Did they say anything to you?

JW: They spoke in some language (huh) but I’m amazed that they could understand each other since they spoke like that “…a petete petete te…”. Their words were short and fast and I don’t know how they can understand one another.

[The beings were communicating with Mr. Wolski by gestures, both while they were with him on the ground and onboard their aerial craft. It is contrary to many reports about UFO passengers reports where witnesses said about some type of mental communication.]

HP: What about the further journey? What happened next?

JW: They were driving ahead for some time and then ordered me to stop – they didn’t spoke in words but expressed it with hands to stop. So I understood it and began urging the horse to stop but he [one of the beings] caught the reins and pulled back urging the horse to stop (It was afraid of the craft.). And when it stopped they got off the cart – in the same way as they previously got on and they gave me a sign with hands to go with them. I tied my horse, then got off and went after them toward that machine. There was a tiny elevator of some kind for two people to hold – maybe it couldn’t carry two large people but surely could delicate ones… And then he went forth and set his foot onto this craft, I followed him and it soon lifted up rapidly – in front of that craft door. And the whole craft could be about 4 m. above the ground, maybe 4.5 m. [ca: 13 – 15 f.]

HP: The craft was hovering in the air, wasn’t it? Please, describe the way it moved and how looked like?

JW: It was a purely white craft – from outside.

HP: And what about it’s size and shape?

JW: It could be 4.5 maybe to 5 m. [14 – 15 f.] in height and it was as long as a bus, so it looked in that way. I haven’t seen any… [unclear but the craft was void of any outer features as lights, joints etc.]

[Jan Wolski on other occasion mentioned that there were 4 “barrels” on the craft corners with “drills” (as Wolski said). Those black drill-like objects seemed to be made of black material and were rotating around its axis with great speed although without creating any disturbances in the air. They generate the hum Wolski mentioned.]

HP: And it was hovering in the air, wasn’t it? When you stand on the platform along with him the tiny elevator brought you swiftly to the interior of the craft…?

JW: No, no, no… (It carried us to place) by the craft entrance… [Not inside.] The elevator was on the same height as the entrance to the craft… Not from the bottom but by side.

HP: You found himself inside… What could you see there?

JW: Inside I could see only several crows – those our black birds…

HP: Black ones, as our ravens or rooks…

JW: So they were lying under the wall, not that one with the entrance but on the opposite side. To my opinion they seemed to be paralyzed – they were moving with their wings, legs and heads but weren’t moving around.

HP: Ok... You have encountered two beings [on the ground]. Were there any other inside?

JW: Inside of the craft there were also two ones. When we got onboard, there were another two inside.

HP: Were there any other appliances onboard? Maybe some gauges or some other things for sleeping or sitting…

JW: There were only some benches onboard… From 8 to 10 - I couldn’t remember. Benches of some kind for one man to sit.

HP: What then happened with you?

JW: They ordered me to dress down…

HP: By gesticulation?

JW: Yes, they showed me to dress down. When I was half-naked, to my waist – and maybe not fully because when I was undressing I removed my jacket, then a blouse with 4 buttons… And when I began to undo two upper ones, the being that was on the elevator with me undid the two ones from the bottom. When I was undressing the fourth being appeared – that one who remained on the ground. […] Well, when I was partially undressed (to my waist) and stood in place I received an order to undress completely. So I took off my shoes. One of the present beings then appeared in front of me with an appliance in a form of two dishes combined in its hand. He neared “the saucers” to my front, then revolved me holding my arm slightly. Then he raised my arm up and began to doing something at my side with those plates… then from behind and on the other side. Then he showed me to dress up. After this order I began to dress up and look around but there were neither windows nor lights visible.

HP: Maybe they had some food products with them?

JW: I couldn’t see anything. [Break]. (They have something that might be food) in form of icicles. They were crumbling it into small chips and insert them into their mouth. He pointed with his finger on the thing in an icicle shape and ask me – not by words but gesticulating – could I eat it.

HP: They wanted to treat you with it…

JW: Yes, they wanted to treat me with it. But it was somewhat strange for me and I showed with my head move that I wouldn’t eat that thing.

HP: They ordered you to dress up after scanning you… What was the color inside of the craft: white, green, black… ?

JW: It seemed black inside. It was in the same color as their outfits – black although with some grayish tint.

HP: Can you describe the outer appearance of the craft?

JW: It was transparently white, as polished aluminum.

HP: You have said that the beings wore black outfits and had greenish faces. What with their eyes and other face features?

JW: They had slightly slanted eyes… They cheekbones were protruding. Once I saw Chinese men and they [the beings] slightly reminded them. But Chinese seemed to more massive and taller… Then he showed me to dress up so I did it and I was about to went off the craft as the being said. When I was about to do it, I turned back and took my cap off saying to them: “Goodbye”. All of them took a bow. Then I took a step ahead and found myself on the ground. And that’s all.

[Jan Wolski also used to term the beings as “monsters”.]

HP: What about the altitude the craft was hovering?

JW: Approximately 5 m. [16 f.], maybe 4 or 4.5 m. I’m not sure. It was hard to establish it then…

HP: You then rushed to home and told your family members and neighbors to go there to inspect it…

Jan Wolski’s house in 2007

JW: Yes, it’s true. When I arrived home I quickly entered inside but my son’s weren’t there, only my wife… I asked her: “Where are the boys?”. She replied that they are somewhere outside. I quickly ran off the house. My wife asked: “What happened?” I replied: “Nothing”. “Maybe something is wrong with the mare?” – she asked. Then I ran outside and saw my sons coming from the barn side. I called them saying: “Go quickly on the field and you will see some craft in the air”. I even described it as a “car” in the air, something out of ordinary. So they ran to alarm one and another neighbor and then together rushed toward the field. My third son appeared afterwards and I said to him: “You also should go and see it”. After a while I joined to them because of curiosity. But when I arrived at the spot along with my sons there were nothing in the air – only grass trodden down covered with dew and paths coming in all directions… When I saw that it disappeared I turned back and returned home. The rest remained at the site checking the footprints etc. Soon two other men joined them. They were inspecting the prints, saw some foot…

[As it turned out, the area was full of strange footprints. There were also clues indicating that soil samples might be taken. The footprints were nearly rectangular in shape although soon they were trodden down by local inhabitants and law enforcement officers.]

HP: Were those prints left by people of the craft visible?

JW: Yes, they were. Boys checked them out and one of them compared the footprint of the being to his feet… I don’t know whether it was smaller or bigger (than his feet).

HP: Because of this very interesting event you surely have many visitors that want to get to know about the case. I’ve heard that you had been visited by our scientist, Mr. Blania from Lodz, an ufologist. What is his opinion in this matter?

JW: He thinks, after all of my descriptions and all of the incident, after answers to questions about the craft whirring, hum…

HP: But the craft wasn’t whirring as a car engine for example?

JW: No, but it was a rumble of some kind. Something like: “…zzzzz…”. I answered him [Mr. Blania] and I don’t know who said them that some kid from the village also could hear some noise, a loud hum. So they went to Popiolek family, since he was a son of Popiolek. He [boy Adam Popiolek] said to Mr. Blania that he saw some craft in the air, some balloon (he explained) or car – according to his descriptions. He ran into the house and yelled to his mother: “Mummy, come here because it could destroy our house because there is a craft in the air”. The woman went outside but returned after a while to his cooking duties and she hasn’t seen the craft.

HP: What is the boy’s name?

JW: Popiolek.

[Adam was about 5-year-old in time of incident. After some time it turned out that many other inhabitants of Emilcin witnessed the sighting of UFO object but they didn’t want to talk about it. Many also remembered hearing loud bagns.]

HP: He’s is from here? He lives in Emilcin?

JW: Yes.

HP: The craft inside was dark or enlightened? There were no windows in its hull?

JW: No, there were no windows. The light was coming inside only by the door of the craft since it was in the daylight.

HP: What about the door?

JW: The door weren’t closing as ours but were rolling as some piece of cloth, in that way.

Krystyna Adamczyk: Is any other face features of the being were visible, as brows, teeth?

JW: There were no brows visible… I don’t know what they had in fact – some make up or masks. They only got slanted eyes. I could see some white in their eye corners. And their teeth were also white in color… That’s all about them.

KA: Have you witnessed the craft disappearance while your retreat from that place?

JW: I haven’t seen anything. I could only observe the craft only in a distance of 15 m. because it then hid behind some bushes. I was in hurry to reach home and inform my sons about the incident… That’s all about it…

KA: Can you describe the process when you was treated with the icicle-form food? Were there any sounds when they began to crush it into smaller pieces?

JW: There were no crushing sounds. This food was crushing as hardened dough, without any sounds.

KA: Was it a terrifying experience or something of utmost importance for you?

JW: Just a bit [terrifying], but I’m not very timorous man at all… so I wasn’t very scared.

KA: Who they were according to your opinion? Who those people are? Are they of terrestrial or of extraterrestrial origin?

JW: I can’t say anything about it and I’m not orientated in similar matters since I’m not a scientist of some kind but a simple farmer. Therefore, I don’t know. I noticed that they were small, of the same height and all of them rather snappy in nature. But I don’t know anything about their origin.

KA: You have mentioned that they were in some costumes and have greenish faces. Were there any other specific details making they different from us?

JW: I noticed then one thing, i.e. around the each one finger there was a thin and tiny fin [he means webbed hands ]. But I don’t know the number of their fingers since I didn’t count, just saw them. And on their upper necks, in place where hair began, they have something resembling lumps. It was round and protruding but I don’t know about it’s nature – whether it was a anatomical part of them or they had something hidden them.

KA: Did you notice any brews or hair covering their bodies?

JW: I didn’t notice any hair since their whole body was covered with the suit that also obscured part of their foreheads. But they had no brows I think… They were completely dressed in it – the same one-pieced suit covered their legs and heads. They had no shoes.

KA: Can you say us finally when the incident took place?

JW: It was on 10th day of May, before 8 a.m., because when I returned and my wife looked at the clock it was about 7:50 a.m.

KA: The day it occurred was…

JW: 10th May [wondering]… It was in Wednesday…

HP: We recorded this conversation with Mr. Jan Wolski from Emilcin on July the 6th 1978. With Mr. Wolski talked: Henryk Pomorski and Krystyna Adamczyk. Thank you Mr. Wolski and see you soon!

JW: You welcome!

HP: Goodbye!

JW: Goodbye!

WOLSKI'S LEGACY

Everyone who is acknowledged with Jan Wolski case may say that the man had no reasons to create such a story that also for him remained a life-long riddle. Today, after 30 years of this incident we still have many questions concerning the Wolski’s story that became for him both burden and blessing.

Of course there were many attempts to debunk Wolski’s story, blaming him for confusing a helicopter and its occupants with UFO craft. Emilcin case isn’t limited only to his story since there are many other clues concerning various mysterious events.

One of the most intriguing occurred in the place of landing in 1981. It was reported by aforementioned K. Bzowski. A group of TV workers preparing a broadcast for TVP2 station perform there an experiment with a pendulum. A group of people gathered in a circle and soon the experiment began. Unexpectedly the pendulum (along with 60 cm long string) disappeared in thin air what was witnessed by more than 10 people. They began looking for the object in the ground but they failed. The incident is still without answer.

For Wolski himself, his growing popularity became a serious problem:

“Do you know what people then talked about me? They called me an alcoholic or said that it was a mere dream! The worst although were the trips that began coming here. Sometimes there were up to 14 coaches with tourist at once. They harassed me and didn’t let to work. And trampled my meadow…”

It is therefore worth to commemorate the Jan Wolski and the researchers involved in this case that is now often covered and misinterpreted by some UFO organizations that in fact has no inkling about its importance, making cheap show in place, where a man who didn’t seek attention, met with great mystery.

Listening his voice relating in simple words a story that for many people seems completely out-of-ordinary allows us to draw in our minds a scenario that backed with words of modest man transforms in a vivid and real remembrance of events from 1978.

Weird UFO incident in Swietokrzyskie (23/12/07)

According to “Gazeta Starachowicka” newspaper on 23rd December 2007 a luminous sphere sighting was reported by an inhabitant of Rataje village in Central Poland. The object itself was hovering over nearby Weglow village. But what happened next is even more puzzling…

Local newspaper “Gazeta Starachowicka” reports a story of a man from Rataje village who observed a strange luminous sphere over Weglow.

On 23rd of December the newspaper received a call from a reader. It was about 8:30 p.m. With nervous voice he reported that his father had noticed some strange phenomenon about half an hour before.

“He saw some bright light” – the witness’ son said. “It was in size of small full moon but was positioned very low over the horizon, directly over the village. My father was sure that it was just a falling star or some comet. It was flying down. Suddenly it stopped and remained hovering in the west sky. It remained stationary for a while and then shot off. It passed very quickly several hundreds of meters and then stopped and began to descend. But it wasn’t on the ground. Then again it began moving horizontally and with enormous speed the enlightened ball shot off upwards and disappeared in the skies. My father thought that it was a thunder but its movement remains puzzling.”

The sighting lasted about 20 seconds. As the newspaper article stated the man’s relation was rejected at first due to reason that the only one witness wanted to remain anonymous. Anyway, it would never saw the light but there exist Police and Fire Dept. reports that added some controversial details to Rataje sighting.

Andrzej Pyzik from Emergency Center informed that on that day, about 9 p.m. there was a report of wooden house fire in Weglow. The fire source was, according to fire dept. report, a failing of the electric installation in the house.

“We put the two and two together” – the newspaper article says. “From Rataje village perspective the UFO was hovering directly over Weglow. The witness who after a hour of the UFO sighting saw a fire glow in the place of previous strange object didn’t realized that both incidents might have something in common. He rushed to help his neighbors but didn’t tell about his UFO sighting to anyone. But the call from our reader was received about 8:30 pm. It was set basing on billing lists. […] The fire was reported about 9 p.m. […] If the unidentified object could influence on the house electric installation, it is possible that we deal here with event of unknown nature. […] Moreover, according to our informer, the glowing ball was hovering directly over the house that then was in flames.”

The case reported by the newspaper should be taken with suitable dose of skepticism although the case seems interesting enough to ensue some efforts in searching of other information, both from the witnesses and officials.

Round objects over Belchatow Power Plant (14/08/07)

On 14th day of August 2007 a witness from Czestochowa was able to observe two round whitish objects that were constantly appearing and reappearing over a power plant in Belchatow - Europe's largest thermal power plant located in Central Poland.

The witness from Czestochowa, a photo amateur and sky-watcher presented photos of two round whitish objects taken on 14th of August over Belchatow Power Plant in Lodzkie Wojewodztwo (Central Poland).
The witness was able to observe two round unidentified objects that were constantly disappearing and reappearing over the area for about 3 minutes.

“I saw two enormous round objects between chimneys of the power plant. The platform I stood on was about 8 km away from the power plant. At first I saw them with naked eye” – he stated. “They were in the approximate size of ping-pong balls”.

The witness quickly grasped his digital camera (Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5) in order to take some photos of the unknown whitish objects. Finally, he caught on his photos some of the elusive objects.

“After grasping the camera and applying zoom I noticed that those objects had whitish surface” – the witness said. “Then I began to photograph them trying to catch a glimpse of them at the same time. They remained in my sight for about 3 minutes, but I’d like to emphasize that the objects were disappearing at regular intervals (about 20 sec.) and then reappearing. They movement was steady and firm. Finally, only one from those objects remained visible for the next 15 sec. Then both objects weren't longer visible and disappeared in plain sight in the clear sky.”

Unfortunately, there was no response neither from other witnesses nor the plant workers who also could see the object.

UFOs keeps appearing over manufactures and power plants all over the Poland. A similar incident to aforementioned Belchatow sighting took place in 1997 over a chemical factory in Puławy. It was about 3:50 a.m. when one of two workers standing outsider the building saw two unknown disc-shaped objects. Both objects were of the same size and were heading southwards. One of the witnesses compared the objects color to “piece of hot iron”. After about 15 sec. the objects vanished. (There were some discrepancies in the witnesses' relations concerning the objects arrangement in air.)

In 2005 another incident took place in Czestochowa where two guards from the glass factory noticed a cigar-shaped object that flew several dozens of meters above their heads.

Nocturnal Lights over Konin (May/June 2007)

At night in period between May and June 2007 two inhabitants of Konin in Wielkopolska witnessed a sighting of a unidentified maneuvering object. Marek R. along with his girlfriend noted that the UFO, after a series of rapid maneuvers changed its color and disappeared.

The sighting took place between May and June 2007. The witnesses of the sightings are Mr. Marek R. (29) and his girlfriend from Okolna street. The sighting began at about 10:15 p.m. and lasted about 10 minutes in very good weather conditions.

"The evening was bright and the sky was cloudless. [...] Along with my girlfriend we were observing hundreds or even milions of stars above. It would be hard to neglect such a beautiful sight" - he said.

After a while the witness noticed a moving object that at first sight resembled a moving star.

"It was in size of a star of middle size and shone with steady bright light" - he said.

After a while it turned out that the object began to show strange characteristics:

"At first it was positioned in place, then it moved left [...] very rapidly. Then it stopped abruptly."

Such a behavior of the object drew the witnesses' attention.

"After several seconds it was in the move again. It started and passed some distance - it was making his way as if a rubber ball bouncing in a small room. It was moving very quickly, dynamically. It was also changing its flight path. Then it stopped and began to shrink, soon it changed its color from bright to pinkish and then red light. Then it was gone."

Mr. Marek isn’t able to point the exact altitude of the object as well as several other details since the observation was reported several months after it took place. He also tried to took some photos of the object with his cell-phone camera (model Nokia N70) but in vain.

Former Policeman Recalls an Alien Encounter (1978)

In a letter to NPN organization a former policeman from Silesian region recalls his encounter with a large dark object with an occupant inside that took place in February 1978.

56-year-old former policeman from Silesia region (south-western Poland) in his letter to NPN organization written in 2007 recalls his 1978 encounter with a strange craft with an occupant seen inside.

"I'm 56 now and I'm a former policeman. The event I witnessed took place in February 1978, at night, about 2 a.m., on the road between Ornontowice and Chudow” – the man recalls.

At that night he was patrolling shop centres the area of Ornontowice – Chudow – Paniowki with his dog called “Jazgot”. After patrolling Ornontowice area he headed to Chudow.

„The weather was very nice. The sky was clear and full or stars. The snow layer was relatively fresh. I was probably in the halfway when I stopped on the roadside because a call of a nature” – he wrote.

Suddenly the witness heard a peculiar noise and when after a while he looked up he could see a huge dark object with brighter openings that was flying in the distance.

“When the object was passing by I noticed someone’s silhouette in one of the windows and for a while it seems to me that this person was looking at me. The object was large and at first I thought it was AN-22 aircraft”.

He added that he couldn’t see any wings and other visible features of conventional aircraft. The man also couldn’t hear the machine engines sound although he perceive sound of “cutting the air”.

“At first I thought that it was a hull of some large aircraft without wings and engines that is going to crash amongst the nearby buildings in Chudow. But I was wrong. I’d like to emphasize that the object was flying more or less from Orzesze to Ruda Slaska.”

Because the object turned to be something other that a falling plane, the man continued his way to Chudow thinking about the nature of the unconventional object. According to him “it was impossible for an object of similar size without wings and engines to fly freely because it must crash somewhere in the area”.

Althought the witness kept thinking that he had encountered some type of conventional craft, after finishing his patrol he decided to gain some further information about the sighting.

„Thoughts about the object were harassing me and after return to Militia* station in Gieraltowice I called the guard from Gliwice sport airfield” – he related.

The witness asked about possible landings of gliders or some other large aircrafts. The vexed guard’s reply was negative.

“I talked with several colleagues about my sighting although I was laughed at and I stopped to deal with that incident. In that time my curiosity could be harmful […] and I could be fired” – he admitted.

* Citizen's Militia (Milicja Obywatelska) was a state police institution during the People's Republic of Poland. In 1990 it was transformed into Policja. Therefore in time of the encounter the man precisely wasn't a policeman but "militiaman".

UFO or Ball Lighting over Tatra Mountains (08/04/07)

The sighting reported by mountain guide tells about a round bluish object that in April 2007 appeared before him and a group of tourists and then abruptly vanished.

On 8th April 2007, Mr. Tadeusz G. (31) a mountain guide and guest house owner in Zakopane during his trip with a group of 9 turists from Kasprowy Wierch to Hala Gasiennicowa became a witness of a observation of a unidentified aerial object than appeared in close vicinity of the group.

The round, bluish object appeared several dozens of meters from them and then abruptly vanished. Mr. Tadeusz G. decided to report the sighting to Mr. G. Tarczynski from NPN organization.

Red dot indicates the approximate location of the bluish object

"I arrived to Zakopane on 11th April. I met Tadeusz around midday in his guest house. We talk about the incident trying to establish as many facts as it was possible" - Mr. Tarczynski stated.
Tourists placed between Kasprowy Wierch and Swinica mountains saw and object definitely standing out of the background and emitting pale-blue light of firm intensity.

The object was about 20 - 30 m. away from the group and remained in their sight only for several seconds (5-6 sec.) and then abruptly disappeared. It was about 5-6 m. in the diameter. During the observation it didn't changed its position.

Any other accompanying phenomena weren't detected. The object had no affect both on the electronic appliances and the witnesses' feelings.

Mr. Tadeusz is fascinated with the event. Although in course of his work he has met with many anomalous weather phenomena (and he is sure that he has previously met with ball lighting) he admitted that he has never seen a thing like the blue round object.

Although the object displayed many features noted in many UFO cases, there is a very strong possibility that we deal here with certain rare natural phenomenon, probably even with ball lighting.

POLAND: Poznan Air Show UFO Photos (24/06/07)

On photos from an air show that took place on 24th June 2007 an unidentified aerial objects (with one in a shape of saucer) can be seen. The photos were submitted to NPN organization by a witness who on that day took part in an air show held in Poznan city (Wielkopolska) district of Malta. It turns out that in the skies there were also out of ordinary objects.

The witness wrote in the relation:

“I’ve returned from Malta where an air show was held. After viewing the photo material I saw two anomalous objects on photos (…). On the first one there is a small black dot by flying airplanes. On the second one there is a formation of some three lights. Then I began to watch the video and on one of them I saw the strange object that fly along and disappear.”

The first one photo depicts some unidentified saucer-shaped object in vicitiny of maneuvring planes.

The first one photo was taken at 7:56 p.m. at Inflancka street. We can see there an unidentified object in a shape of saucer passing above three planes flying in formation. On the second one we can see three anomalous triangular formation of three bright lights apparently of different size. The photo was taken when aircrafts were returning to the base, at 8:25 pm. (according to EXIF data).

The objects weren’t seen by the participants of the show.

“There was a TV team there and was filming everything around. Moreover, there were other people with cameras of better kind than mine, therefore it’s possible that also they could catch some anomalous images” – said the witness.

After visual analyze of magnified images from the air show, we cannot find any clues indicating the nature of the object seen on the first one. The saucer-shaped object doesn’t exhibit any features that may indicate that it is a bird or any known kind of other aircraft.

Neither the first nor the second anomalous sight probably weren’t seen by any of the viewers present at the site. Although 2007 was a year with considerably small number of UFO reports from Poland, presented photos are one of the most intriguing ones.

Similar cases of unidentified objects images taken during air shows are often reported in Poland. Although images from Malta can be placed amongst the more interesting ones.

POLAND: Weird Flying Humanoid Encounter in Koniewo (2000)

In late autumn in 2000 two witnesses encountered strange flying figure in Koniewo in northern part of Poland. The tall, long-haired being was flying in a unusual position in close vicinity of two terrified witnesses. The observation was accompanied by strange, loud rumble coming out of the forest…

„The being was well visible. It was flying with face turned to us. It was long-haired and about 1.5 – 2 m. (5-6.5 ft) in height! It flew over the road and then disappeared in the branches” – says Mr. Mariusz G. who in 2000 had a weird encounter with a flying figure.

Mariusz G. is 24-year-old paramedic working in a hospital in Olsztyn – a capital city of Warminsko-Mazurskie Wojewodztwo in northern Poland. He is also studying in Gdansk. In 2007 he decided to relate his encounter with weird flying humanoid that took place in 2000 to Mr. Michal Kusnierz – a member of Polish UFO reporting and researching group NPN.

“It was one of many evenings when I was returning from my buddy in Koniewo (located about 6 km. away from Lidzbark Warminski). There used to be a whole crowd of us there – we used to visit him in free time . About the midway between the city and this village there is a valley with two sharp curves surrounded with small forest. At that night I was traveling with my colleague. It was late autumn but there were no snow around. It was about 11 p.m.”

“We were returning by bikes. We were talking, as I can remember, about our colleague who opened a gym in his cellar. We found ourselves on a straight path nearing the mentioned valley. Although it was late the Moon enlightened all around.”

„After about 70 – 100 m. (230 – 300 ft) something urged me to look right. We were pedaling slowly, when suddenly a figure flying along the forest rim appeared. It was very well visible! It was flying with its face turned to us. Then we stopped. My colleague without resistance throw the bicycle away and began to flee away, as every normal man in similar situation” - he recalls.

“Personally, I don’t believe in ghost and I was never interested with similar matters therefore I began to search for some rational explanation. With my heart in my mouth for several or dozen of seconds I remained focused on this extraordinary event. To my fear I could hear terrifying sounds coming out of the forest. It was a loud band and I find it difficult to compare it to anything.”

The witness stated that the sound resembling loud and terrifying rumble after some time began fading to start again for a while.

“I regretted then that I hadn’t fled away with my colleague. Then I turn back and crying I began pedaling to catch my colleague that was already beyond my sight range. I caught him already in vicinity of the village. We then returned to our buddy home asking his mother to give us a lift.”

The whole experience of then 17-year old Mariusz lasted more than minute. The other (then 22-year-old) witness fled away just after seeing the flying humanoid that remained in their sight for several seconds.

When both of the witness found themselves again on the road they couldn’t see the being again.

He describes the flying figure:

“It was flying on its side with its face facing us. It was long-haired and about 1.5 – 2 m. in height. It appeared above the road and then disappeared in the branches. It wasn’t equipped with any device – it was simply levitating being on its side and flying ahead. It was gray figure, the face wasn’t visible and there is no possibility to guess its sex. Was it dressed? It’s a good question… It was about 100 m. awal, it was gray… I rather cannot say anything about its clothing. The body outline was detectable as well as long hair. I also could notice the other end of the figure, i.e. its feet. The entire figure was light-gray, as if a shadow…”

Mariusz stated that at first he took it for some kind of mirage and therefore he decided to remain in place for a while and observe. “Then all the illusions fade away and I thought only how to reach my colleague.”

“I had never thought that I met something like this in my life” – the witness added. “For me it was something provoking my fear and terror. It left a trace in me, because I was extremely panicked. It is still today that when I talk about it I feel some kind of uneasiness inside…”

UFO INCIDENT IN DABROWA GORNICZA

by: Piotr Cielebiaś

7th day of July 2007 seemed to be an ordinary day. But Joanna R. – a woman from Dabrowa Gornicza (Poland) will never forget the incident that took place at that night. Driving her way home the woman noticed some bluish light emerging from the cloud cover… Soon she realized that it was a bluish object of unknown origin that keeps pacing her car… Soon the terrific pursuit ended but it turned out soon that it was only a prologue to more dramatic close encounter… Read the unique relation about one of the most intriguing Polish UFO sightings in 2007.

I. FOREWORD
Is there anything like the doorstep of understanding? Phenomena exceeding beyond it cannot be described in our language what is certified in many relations concerning close encounters with UFOs and ET beings. We can only speculate about odd motives of the unknown force standing behind them. Story of Mrs. Joanna from Dabrowa Gornicza tells about the aforementioned frontier and desires to find out what is hidden on the opposite side.
[English readers could have problem with pronunciation of several names contained in this article, therefore here are some clues: a) Dabrowa Gornicza – [read: Doum-brova Gour-nitza] ; b) Joanna – [read: Yo-anna) ; c) Janusz – [read: Yanush] ; d) Sosnowiec – [read: Sousnovietz] ; e) Mydlice – [read: My: dlitze] ; f) Bedzin – [read: Ben-dzin])
Dabrowa Gornicza is a industrial city in Silesian region with nearly 130.000 inhabitants, forming the eastern part of Upper-Silesian Industrial Region (GOP). We would like to present here a story about probable UFO incident that took place there at night dividing 7th and 8th of July 2007. Some points of this story may seem to be at least unbelievable but we cannot find clues indicating that it would be a deliberate fake.
We can believe in it or not – this situation is common in regard to UFO reports. But amongst many reports from this year, this one seem to be the most unique and contentious one.

II. THE RELATION
Joanna is a very calm and even shy person what even she admits. Maybe we would never received her story but insistent thoughts about the mysterious incident were growing stronger and finally her friend persuade her to wrote a letter describing her encounter.
“Her personality doesn’t indicate that she would be so creative to make such tales” – said Janusz, Joanna’s friend to whom she called during the July incident. “There are people gifted with imagination but surely she isn’t amongst them.”

Joanna’s painting depicting her encounter while she was observing the UFO over her estate. We can see here the blue whirling sphere ejecting mysterious probe-like “objects” resembling “stars”.

Janusz is rather a skeptic person in regard to abnormal phenomena although as he stated it was somewhat hard for him not to believe in Joanna’s tale. He concluded that at that night when the terrified woman called him stating that she saw “UFO” something might really occur.
Joanna herself has never though that something of this kind may happen to her.
We received the relation of her encounter some time after the dramatic scenes from the beginning of July. On the day when the list of new world’s wonders was announced, in the center of an estate in Dabrowa Gornicza, in the close vicinity of people abodes a strange phenomenon took place.
The letter we received on August 3rd begins with these words: „I’d like to share some details pertaining an object that was accompanying me in my way home, at night from 7th to 8th August 2007. I was returning about 1 a.m. from Katowice to Dabrowa Gornicza, riding A4 highway and suddenly when I drove out of Katowice (in the densely clouded skies) I could see with the corner of my eye that some strange light is coming out of the clouds. At first I thought that it could be some laser beam but it looked differently […]. It surely was neither an airplane nor other object. I was driving further, trying not to think about paranormal phenomena but that light suddenly appeared by my car and began flying next to me. I tried not to look at it and drive as fast I could but it was chasing me. It was bright-bluish in color and resembled some ‘plasma’. There were no limits in its way of moving… It could be everywhere…”
We must frankly mention that at first Joanna’s relation didn’t revealed all the important details pertaining to the case and contained in the brief form of an letter sounded as many similar UFO related reports we receive. Before we set up to met the witness, we didn’t thought that it could be both one of the most interesting and the difficult cases we came across in this year.

III. THE INCIDENT BEGINS
32-year-old Joanna R., a company owner and an artist, lives in Dabrowa Gornicza district of Mydlice. She’s a calm and hard-working person. Her associates admit that she isn’t an individual that can be blamed of vivid fantasy or desire to be in the center of other interest. But the aforementioned sighting contained in her letter isn’t the only one “strange story” that took place in her life. There were other phenomena that can be indirectly related with her sightings such as realistic dreams that as it turned out showed usually the place where she encountered the mysterious craft.
„I don’t like visits at a gas stations with her” – stated Mr. Janusz adding that it may sound little funny. “Everytime when she approach the cash registers, it breaks down. I remember similar occurrences taking place about 6 times.”
It isn’t the last relation about failures of electrical devices in Joanna’s vicinity. As her friend noted, there were also often breakdowns of computers in their office (what can be certified by their co-workers) and other devices, as for example in incident from a gas station in Myslowice city. When Joanna approached one of the freezers on the station, doors of other ones standing there opened unexpectedly. But anecdotes about similar occurrences seem to be nothing in the light of the striking close encounter that began late at night on July 7th.
On that day, when Joanna as everyday was passing by a hall in Katowice called commonly “The Saucer” (because of its shape), she didn’t expected that it could be a symbolic indication of upcoming events.
After finishing her work, probably yet on 7th July, Mrs. Joanna started her way home from Katowice to her home in Mydlice – a district of Dabrowa Gornicza (located between the Center of this city and Bedzin city). She was driving A4 highway under the sky enveloped with thick clouds.
Suddenly the woman driving her Fiat Seicento noticed some bluish light that began to emerge out of the clouds on her right side. At first many possible explanations appeared in her thoughs – Moon, some disco lasers or plane lights... But she didn’t expected that the answer would came soon in somewhat dramatic form.
„When I was driving my car, on the right side (in not build-up area between Katowice and Sosnowiec), driving a narrowed part of road (due to roadwork), I noticed some light peering out from the gaps between cloud layer that was moving in strange manner. It was already positioned quite low but still above the clouds. I wasn’t scared but rather intrigued with it at that time. I even called my co-worker saying that I saw something strange” – she said.
Mr. Andrzej that was awoken by telephone didn’t believed in woman’s revelations. But her fascination with the phenonenom was soon replaced by fear when the object that defied any logical explanations began to chase the witness’ car.
Bluish glow enlightened the car from inside peering through panes. Object emanating it seemed to be so close that light was coming inside even by the front pane. UFO was moving by straight trajectory and keep pacing the car although Joanna began accelerating.
“Suddenly I noticed that it keeps tracking me and at that moment I feel scared. I realized that it is not any terrestrial craft but something extraordinary. I also realized that it is pursuing me. I was so scared (because I was alone on the road although there were probably few cars but in the distance) that I didn’t turned the road I usually drive home but the other one.” – Joanna said.
This violent maneuver on Y-junction could have tragic final but thanks to it the woman found herself on the road that in opposition to the way she usually use was more enlightened what made her feel more comfortable and safe. Usually she would drive through uninhabited and forested area. To her growing content, she realized that there were no more object in the sky and the whatever was the phenomenon, it was just over.
It is worth to note that during the “chase” Joanna didn’t noted any details reported in some reports concerning the alleged UFO influence on the car engine. She didn’t care to check other appliances as car radio or cell phone during the encounter. (She experienced some disturbances with the auto during the next encounter with the “craft”.)
But her contentment and relief faded soon because it is not the end of this story. The “pursuit” was only the prologue of the incident that was yet to happen on the estate, in vicinity of St. Maksymilian Kolbe church.
“When I reached the estate I saw that the object is still in the air… as it waiting for me.”

IV. UFO OVER MYDLICE
“It seemed that ‘they’ do know where I live” – noted Joanna. “The craft also could trace my car from above. I had an impression that since the moment when I saw it for the first time and began to gaze, this thing began interested in me as well and therefore it began pacing me. It looked as if this ‘energy’ was intelligent” – she said.
And it was true. When after some time Joanna reached her estate in Dabrowa Gornicza she noticed that the mysterious craft reappeared. The block of flats in which Joanna’s apartment is located lies at the end of large housing estate. The witness decided that she reach it on foot being afraid of making her way by car in dark area in vicinity of thicket where the alternative way lies. „I decided to look up and saw a bright blue, oval object hovering in the clouds above me. It was quite large and rotating. I was both scared and fascinated with this sight” – claims the witness.
Above a housing estate, dozens of meters from a local church, under dense layer of clouds and above power lines appeared an object, cyan in color that in total silent was rotating clockwise.
„It looked as some king of energy rotating around it axis. I couldn’t notice neither metallic structure of the ‘craft’ nor anything resembling terrestrial things known to me.”
As the witness stated, the object resembled a “craft of energy” or “of plasma”. According to relation the UFO with its size seem to be capable to cover the roof of the block. (Its measurements were also comparable to the dome of the nearby church”). The estimated diameter of the observed object was about 15 m.

The possible appearance of the object seen by Joanna. On the original photo of orange UFO taken by C.Diaz Joanna noticed some similarities to object seen by her although colors remained different. (original photo by C.Diaz)

The witness was observing only the bottom part of the object. Its shape can be described as round without any visible features as point lights, exhaust pipes, windows etc. Also no sounds accompanied the manifestation. Joanna stated then that the object resemble the most an UFO from Carlos Diaz photos when she was shown various pictures of alleged UFOs. Only the color was different and could be described as cyan-like.
Joanna’s fear began to fade slowly and soon was replaced by some kind of admiration for that silent and majestic “thing” causing in the woman that had never seen anything like it before both respect and calmness. The witness remained in place for a while looking at the craft as if hypnotized. Her attitude concerning the event and breathtaking sight she was witnessing was constantly changing. After short admiration and fascination happened something that restored fear and “high-strangeness” of the entire situation.
Before I introduce the next chapter of her story that now takes more dramatic course, it is worth to point at some detail that seems to be somewhat unnatural ever for Joanna. It turned out since she had noticed the bluish light she began to feel strong urge to go home. What’s unnatural in it? – we can ask. It is normal that under similar circumstances everyone will react in this way. Besides Joanna noticed that there were something unnatural in that urge to that point that her will was influenced by some “strange” factor. It is also strange due to the further part of her story.

V. THE FIERY RAIN
When she was standing and gazing at a rotating object after some minutes her close encounter entered in the next, spectacular stage. Bewildered Joanna unexpectedly noticed that some golden objects began to emerge from the main round “craft” and the sight reminded a fiery rain taking place in total silence.
“I can compare it to stars. At first they emerged quickly out of the object and then began to fall down. It seemed that they descend toward the blocks but the most surely to the nearby meadows. It was hard from my point to trace the flight path of objects that became more and more brighter while descending. Therefore I fled away. They surely weren’t meteorites. Those orbs as well as the bright object remained completely silent."
Trying to reach home, Joanna rushed toward it realizing in the same time that some of star-like objects are in quite close vicinity and seemed to encircle her. They resembled spheres emanating golden light. All of a sudden one of them appeared centrally over block Joanna lives in.
Her fear was at its peak. Bewildered and desperate woman tried to fight off fear and predominant as if unnatural urge drawing her home despite of terrific spectacle of golden objects that seem to be monitoring her.
Streets were empty. Only a drunk young man was seen nearby. In his shelter on a parking lot there was a guard. (We contacted one of guards and asked for any possible details from that night, we received no answer). Still we don’t know if they, or other inhabitants see something.
Instinct caused that Joanna began to retreat and reach her car… in order to drive home through the area she rejected to pass on the previous occasion – the aforementioned thicket. Joanna started the engine and soon turned left at the nearby junction.

VI. THE ESCAPE
At a certain point on a dark road Joanna experienced something as „deja-vu”. Looking at golden objects hovering over her home she felt „another seeing of a movie in which she plays the main role”. It is not clear whether this inner instinct or maybe fear acted then. Joanna decided to flee from the area and while she was moving back with her car, she noticed its strange behavior. (Although it is not clear if the car reaction was caused with her nervousness or other factor. The car seemed to be “pull back”.). She soon left Mydlice looking for shelter. It was about 2 a.m.

Piotr Cielebiaś: You have mentioned the strange feeling urging you to came home, haven’t you?
Joanna R.: Yes, it was overwhelming.
PC: Who was present at that time at home?
JR: My mother.
PC: Does she remember anything unusual from that night?
JR: My Mom was surely asleep. I forgot to call her then. That object gave impression of its energetic nature. For a moment I thought that it was some strange phenomenon but not UFO. I even thought about some “wormhole” or “interdimensional gate”…

Panicked and bewildered woman soon reached house of her friend, Mr. Piotr. Calling him she asked him to wait at the entrance. Already in his house she related to him the dramatic story and in panic order to close all the windows.
“At that nigh I fled to the Center and lost the UFO from sight I began calling to my old friend and he wake up. I wanted to hid somewhere and drive to him. He is a witness of my behavior just after the sighting. He states that he has never seen me such frightened. He believed that something must really happen. I ordered him to close the window. Then I approached it to check if they are still somewhere. At first he thought that I’m raving and he didn’t know how to react. Then he realized that he had never seen me before acting in similar way and that indeed I saw something extraordinary.”

VII. THE SECOND SIGHTING (?) AND OTHER MATTERS
In the nigh, two days after the first sighting, Joanna allegedly came cross a similar object that was hovering at high altitude over her home. It isn’t sure whether it was caused with sensitization or fatigue since Joanna stated that the July incident had very strong effect on her and for the following few weeks. She got problems with sleep and common activities also at her work caused by shock. When we visited her in Dabrowa Gornicza she was still reacting very lively in regard to July sighting.
“Two days later after the first encounter I was on the balcony of my apartment. The cloud layer was dense but I’m sure that I have seen the same thing. I perceived bluish light very high in the air. Then I went in and close window.”
The witness living on the 5th floor saw something but she ascertain that she was still very stirred and bewildered with previous sighting. Joanna’s mother is a disabled person. She didn’t remember any unusual occurrences from the night when her daughter saw the “craft” because she was asleep. At first she didn’t believe in her daughter’s revelation.
“On the second occasion I took my mother to the balcony but the object was barely seen. Anyway I showed it to my mum and she affirmed that she could see it but she completely doesn’t believe in such phenomena and she stated that I saw a satellite or weather phenomenon.”
What would happened if Joanna didn’t left the area? This question is devoid of answer as well as that pertaining the nature of the mysterious objects, both the main one and star-like probes that seemed to track Joanna’s way. It is very hard to guess the real nature of this close encounter.

VIII. THE END
Collecting data do this material, interviewing Joanna and indirect witnesses we managed to find out an unique although contentious story – maybe only one episode of similar nature in Mrs. Joanna’s life. We are in touch with the woman, trying to familiarize her with the nature of similar cases and discovering other out of the ordinary facts from her life, both from before and after the July incident.
Regarding this story from the skeptical way we must consider possibility of confusing the alleged UFO seen by Joanna with natural phenomena or human-made crafts. Joanna from her side also considered all possible explanations, excluding at first lights from discothèque or landing aircraft. Aspect as de facto intelligent behavior of the object that then reappeared in vicinity of woman’s house, his maneuvering capabilities proven during the flight over the highway, silent rotating around his axis as well as phenomenon of golden spheres (probes?) prompt to dismiss the possibility that it was just a complex of inaccurate observations of common things. Doubt can be also cast on weather phenomenon and optical illusion. Another important fact is that during the close encounter the woman tried to notify about her strange situation her friends, both by calling and writing them text messages.
The case is still opened and the final explanation cannot be presented. It is possible that some other observers exist and efforts are made to find them, although it wouldn’t be easy in our country where most of people either reject their experiences or are afraid of being ridiculed. We hope that “someone else had to see it” as Joanna stated.
There is predominating feeling that Joanna’s story isn’t only mere fantasy because something caused her reaction and influenced on her psychical and physical state. This effect was so strong that for several weeks after the sightings the woman cannot manage with it.
