On one evening five weeks earlier he had visited friends five kilometers away and was walking home in the dark between 8 and 9 p.m. About halfway home Januncio lit a cigarette. He resumed walking and seconds later a brightly-lit object shaped like a cylinder, standing upright, suddenly appeared several meters above him. A door opened on the bottom and he could see two people sitting inside. Hot light flooded out, engulfing Januncio, who felt himself being pulled upward by some invisible force. Terrified, he grabbed a small palm tree and wrapped his arms and legs: tightly around the trunk. Three times he was pulled up by the UFO and each time he slid slowly back down the trunk, scraping the skin on his arms and chest. After the third time, the beings dropped something like melted wax or hot oil on his upper arms, burning them. Januncio, fearing for his life and crying, still wouldn’t let go. Then the door suddenly closed and the UFO disappeared swiftly into the sky. Januncio was sick for two days with headaches and unable to eat. His arms and chest were almost raw and he had blisters on his arms. He refused go out at night anymore. "Hot oil" case 2, August 1979 In September, 12 years later, we returned to Santa Cruz, where we heard about a man named Beato. Beato, now 51, told us he had been visiting a friend’s house one night late in 1979 in the dry season between August and November, and was walking home between 7 and 8 p.m. He lit a cigarette and seconds tater a UFO swooped down and hovered above him. It was round, bluish, had two windows through which he could see two people inside, and it was shining an incredibly bright and hot light — down on him. Beato was very frightened as he felt himself being sucked up. He quickly squatted down and grabbed a plant to keep from going any farther. After a short while the occupants dropped something like hot oil on his upper right arm, but Beato still refused to let go of the plant. The UFO then rapidly went away. Beato’s arm had small blisters but he suffered no other ill effects. However, he wouldn’t go outside for a long time and he’s still wary of lighting a cigarette outside after dark. https://preview.redd.it/1kdx2bquc33h1.png?width=554&format=png&auto=webp&s=80b0c8e7fa213c9337d38cd76f9411ecb5765061 submitted by /u/Shiny-Tie-126 [link] [comments]
