New England UFO Newsletter - No 17 - 1980 01

Magazine Overview

This issue of the 'new england UFO newsletter', Whole Number 17, dated January 1980, focuses on 'The Middleton Case,' a detailed investigation into a series of humanoid and UFO reports by a family. The report is authored by Dave Webb, with additional witness checks by Ray Fowler.

The Middleton Case: A Series of Humanoid/UFO Reports by a Family

Introduction

The report details a complex series of incidents occurring in and around the home of the G family in South Middleton, Massachusetts, approximately 15 miles north of Boston. These incidents included sightings dating back to 1962, involving two types of beings and several types of UFOs. A significant surge in activity occurred between the fall of 1977 and the spring of 1978, with scattered reports continuing up to the date of the report. During the high activity period, different individuals reported seeing small, white-suited, helmeted figures. A notable period of sightings occurred on the G property between January 9 and 12, 1978, involving a possible UFO landing. The exact dates and sequence of events are somewhat confused, but on January 9 and 10, two observations of a white-suited figure near a UFO were recorded, classified as Type C in the Humanoid Study Group system. The January encounters are highlighted due to their specific UFO-related humanoid sightings and ease of documentation. Other incidents, less directly UFO-related or too vague, are reviewed in chronological order in Section 3 to provide context.

A note indicates that due to space constraints, some material originally intended for this issue has been deferred to the April Newsletter.

Synopsis of the January Events (Section 2.0)

The G family consists of Thomas (52), a self-employed carpenter from Canada and former RCAF medic, and Theresa (50), who lived in her parents' home for 42 years before building their current house in 1967. They have three children: Allan (21), Nancy (20), and Douglas (14). Theresa's mother, Mrs. Nellie C, lives next door. The G estate comprises nearly 8 acres extending north from these homes.

In December 1977, Mrs. C's granddaughter, Carol Ann (24), arrived with her family for a two-month visit. Her family includes her husband Giles T (nicknamed Jay-26) and their two children, Jemy (6) and John (4). Giles is in the Army, stationed at Fort Hood, TX.

On the evening of Monday, January 9, 1978, Douglas, Mrs. C, and the T family were at the G house. The other G members were next door. Douglas and the children were put to bed around 7:30-8:00 PM. At approximately 7:30 PM, Nancy and Theresa G were in the living room when Theresa saw a large, yellowish-white light angling toward the ground through the dining room window to the east. The main light may have had a smaller light behind it, or Theresa later described seeing three round lights. The light approached from the northeast and was visible for at least 15 seconds. Nancy, who saw the object closer, described it as a yellow-orange ball of light. She ran outside and saw the object disappear behind trees about 15-30 degrees azimuth, noting it seemed to wink out. The total observation time was about 20 seconds. She recorded the time as 7:37 PM in her diary and called a friend. Five minutes later, her phone was dead and remained so for 20 minutes. During this time, Mrs. C tried calling the Gs from her home without success.

Meanwhile, in the G house, about 10-15 minutes after the children were in bed, John called out. Giles went to John's bedroom and the boy reported seeing a man trying to touch him. John described a white figure at the foot of his bed. Giles, assuming John was dreaming, told him to go back to sleep.

As Giles left the room, he heard a knock in another bedroom. Upon investigation, he heard a knock on a window. Pulling back the curtain, he saw a white-suited figure on the roof of the back porch, about 2-4 feet away. The figure appeared hooded, with eyes staring back. Giles dropped the curtain and went downstairs.

The night was windy, and the porch door kept banging. Carol mentioned the noise, prompting Giles to check the door. He went out on the porch and had to kick the door to keep it closed. Upon returning inside, he noticed the same figure standing just outside the glass door. No one else saw figures that night.

January 10 was a day of high, broken clouds. Snow flurries were reported in the Boston area, but the Gs recalled no significant snowfall that day, only a few inches of cover at any time during early January. It is noted that if the sky was cloudy, the lighting would be flat.

Tom G spent much of January 10 working on the property. At 2:30 PM, while chopping wood about 90 feet north of the house, he spotted a white-suited figure standing on a path beside a tree. The figure was about 4 feet tall, wore a squarish helmet with two dark eyes, and had broad shoulders with arms hanging down the sides. The being's hands were battleship gray and appeared gloved with three digits, resembling mittens. Tom had previously encountered similar figures 4 or 5 times in December 1977 and weeks prior. He often had the impression of a second figure nearby. The investigator notes that it's unlikely Tom saw much detail of a white figure 90 feet away against a white background on an overcast day.

The being stared at Tom. Tom spoke in English with no reaction, but thought the figure moved slightly when he spoke in French. Tom was unafraid, having encountered the figures before, and continued chopping wood for 1-1.5 hours, glancing at the being, which remained motionless. Tom explained this nonchalance by stating the figures were a common sight and attempts to chase them had proven futile.

After finishing chopping, Tom drove down the road and looked for the being again, but it was gone. He then noticed what appeared to be a huge boulder about 150 feet away down a slope in a partially wooded area. He stopped and walked closer to look for the being and get a better vantage point of the object. The object was sitting on the ground, described as egg-shaped, wider at the front, with little windows all over the sides, resembling a frog's eye with a hood-like covering. Nancy later described the windows as round and bubble-shaped. The UFO's surface was dark gray, dull, and rough, like a brick, with no visible seams or protrusions.

Measurements indicated the UFO was about 40 feet long by 13 feet wide and possibly 10 feet high (partially in the snow). The being had been approximately 300 feet to the west of the UFO. The investigator visited the 'landing area' on April 23 and found it overgrown, with no depression or damage except for broken limbs on two trees, which Tom stated were likely caused by the UFO. Tom admitted he couldn't be sure he had been in that specific area within the week prior to January 10.

Tom was afraid to approach the UFO closely and returned home. He recalls the family laughing when he told them about his experience. There is a discrepancy regarding whether the next sighting was the same day or the next. On January 11, Tom was cutting wood when he again saw the UFO in the same place. In the late afternoon, he had first Allan, then Nancy, look at the object.

Nancy remembered seeing the object about dusk on January 11, around 4:30-5:00 PM. Allan, whose vision is affected by glare, thought the sun reflecting off the snow caused it and could only see what looked like a big boulder. Tom kept the youths at least 150 feet away. Nancy, unable to see much detail due to dusk and distance, claimed to have seen 7 windows on the UFO.

On the following day, likely January 12, Allan saw a daylight disc ascend from the property around 10 AM. He observed a UFO about 100 feet in the air over a rise. The object had a smooth, dull, steel-gray or silver surface, shaped like two discs pressed together, the bottom flatter than the top. Four long legs extended from the underside. As Allan watched, the object slowly rose vertically. He ran outside but saw nothing more.

Later, Allan found what he called 'pod marks' in the clay-like soil near the rise. One mark, 4 inches deep and 6 inches wide, was visible on April 23. The area was open with a dirt access road. The topsoil had been removed in some parts, leaving clay-like soil. The remains of an old hog pen were nearby. Allan's idea was that the distances between these marks represented the spacing of the craft's legs when it rested on the ground.

This concludes the synopsis of the reported events on the G property in January 1978. The investigators consider these the most important and best-documented events involving the Gs, though a host of other related events involving entities and UFOs were reported before and after this period.

Related Events (Section 3.0)

Section 4 contains a chronology of strange events reported by the G family over the years, with the earliest dating back to 1962. The majority of datable events occurred within the last two years prior to the report, mostly on one of the two adjacent homes or the G property. The events include sightings of at least two types of humanoids, cattle mutilation, poltergeist-type phenomena, and UFO sightings. No Men in Black (MIB), psychic, or strange communication activities were reported.

Every family member reported experiencing one or more of these types of activity. The investigator noted that each conversation elicited new 'revelations' of shapes seen, sounds heard, and odors detected. The investigator has not attempted to record every reported incident, only those directly related to UFO or humanoid incidents.

Poltergeist-type activities, reported by the youngsters inside houses, are noted as potentially unrelated to the UFO/humanoid phenomenon, possibly belonging to the parapsychological or spirit realm. It is also suggested that some reported events might be products of the youngsters' imaginations combined with the excitement of 'real' incidents. However, the investigator found no specific reason to reject these events and therefore included a comprehensive listing.

Several important incidents are summarized, starting with early UFO sightings, with a subsequent emphasis on humanoid events.

Sixteen years prior (likely May or June 1962), Mellie C had her only UFO sighting. After midnight, following a thunderstorm, she saw a round light that grew in size, separated into components, and was brilliant and multi-colored. The sighting lasted about 5 minutes.

In 1974, at age 17, Allan G observed a red-orange object behind the pool, about 150 feet away. The light was intense enough to wake him despite heavy draperies. The object was apparently cigar-shaped, much larger than the 18-foot diameter pool, and went out of sight rapidly.

Three or four years prior (estimated Summer 1974), the five Gs saw a huge object, described as the 'mother ship,' take off from a mountain near Coleman State Park in Colebrook, NH, where they were vacationing. The object was dark with lights that changed from white to red. The time was about 11:30 PM. Allan provided the only detailed report.

Two basic types of humanoids were reported: a 'prowler' figure and the white, helmeted figure. Sightings of the 'prowler' were reported by Tom, Theresa, and Nancy G, and Nellie C and her husband during summer months over the preceding 2-4 years (no sightings in 1978). The Middleton police were called on several occasions to investigate reports of trespassers on the G property, but found nothing. The Gs also complained to their tennis members about trespassing on the G land.

The 'prowler' figure was of normal stature, always wore a white shirt, dark pants, and had dark hair. Most sightings were at a distance, with no facial features seen. Occasionally, figures were seen together on the hill behind the house, 'dancing' and moving about. The 'prowler' had peculiar ambulatory characteristics: slow walking, body held erect, arms rigid at the elbows, and knees never observed to bend. The body rotated strangely. No noise was heard, and no footprints were found.

Mrs. C had a close encounter with a 'prowler' in June 1977 at dusk. Walking towards the G house, she noticed a figure 6-7 feet away, dressed in a white shirt and dark pants with dark hair. The figure's back was to her, and it was 5'7" tall and motionless. When she called out, thinking it was her son-in-law, Tom, the figure vanished in the short time it took her to turn back. She was certain of the sighting as she had looked directly at the being.

Considerable effort was made to trace a rumor of cattle mutilation in late 1977. The source was Rose P, niece of the Gs. Her father, Paul P, was a local police officer who had checked on prowlers for the Gs and did not believe their stories. The Gs were reluctant for the investigator to speak with the P family. Rose P was interviewed at the G home and found to be articulate and believable.

The P home is on a street branching off of a ranch known locally as the 'B ranch,' not far from the G property. This area and adjacent pastureland are owned by the three B brothers, Paul, Roger, and Antonio. Calves belonging to the B brothers were reported missing in late September or early October 1977. Days later, Rose found two black and white spotted calves dead on a hill known as the 'Indian burial grounds.' The calves were mutilated, with heads torn off, innards removed, and dried blood. The front leg of one calf was missing. Youths camped in the area, and wild dogs were seen there, but Rose found no obvious teeth marks or knife incisions. Rose's sister, Dawn (12), and a friend, Jimmy B (Paul's son, 14), viewed the carcasses. Jumbo identified the calves as belonging to the B herd and thought they had been killed by dogs.

The area where the calves were found is within half a mile of the G property and the alleged UFO landing site. A gravel pit with abandoned cars is nearby. The investigator does not consider the circumstances of the calves' deaths unusual, given the reports of wild dogs, but includes it due to the timeframe, proximity to UFO/humanoid incidents, and the implied relationship between cattle mutilations and UFOs in other cases.

Douglas G was the first to see a white-helmeted figure. In mid-November 1977, about dusk, while playing outside near a shed, he heard footfalls. Looking toward the sound, he saw an all-white being walking 'stiff as a board' behind the shed. Douglas ran inside to tell his father. Tom went out and saw the being standing behind a car in the yard. When Tom reached out to touch the being's shoulder, it vanished. Tom was shaken and did not admit seeing the being for three days, stating he thought he was seeing things. The being was 4 feet tall, wore a white suit with a battleship gray helmet and hands, and had a mitten-like appearance. No feet were noticed. Tom believed he saw this same being several times later.

It is speculated that the humanoid may have been attracted by the acrid, black smoke and flames from burning cars. An unexpected approach and possible threatening gesture by Tom might have coerced the being into vanishing, consistent with CEIII lore.

Further Incidents and Sightings (Sections 4 and subsequent pages)

The report then reviews Tom's sightings of the helmeted figure(s) in December and January, and the UFO sightings from January 9-12, 1978. The next occurrences were on two separate dates in February 1978 at the C home, involving poltergeist-type activity, locked doors, and knives placed in door jams to prevent opening. One night, doors were pushed open, dislodging the knives. On another occasion, Carol T heard a sound like a swarm of bees, which Giles also heard and found overwhelming.

A series of incidents on the weekend of April 8/9 triggered Mrs. G's second phone call to Ray Fowler. On Saturday night, Nancy G saw a silhouetted form through a slightly open door, about 5'7" tall, appearing to wear an unzipped jacket. The door moved slightly, and when Nancy looked again, the figure was still there. She bolted for the door and saw a form moving away rapidly. She searched nearby rooms and then went to the living room where her parents were watching TV.

The next day, Sunday, April 9, Doug, Allan, and their cousins Rose and Dawn P saw several white figures multiple times at close range. Doug and Dawn, riding a minibike near a ruined mig house, had a fleeting glimpse of two large white heads through low brush about 30-35 feet away. The heads were viewed in an attitude suggesting crouching. Their faces were light gray with large, wrap-around dark blue eyes. Little movement was noticed. Doug and Dawn were frightened and left the area.

About 2 PM, all four youths returned to the same area. While sitting and talking, they felt watched. Doug and Allan reported vague glimpses of beings that faded from sight or moved too fast. Rose, however, saw at least one being and provided a more complete description (Figure C-6). Sitting with Dawn, Rose saw a figure standing about 10-15 feet away. The figure was in profile, about her height (5'3"), with a head that had an abnormally large posterior projection, encased in a clear, round helmet. She noticed a large, dark, oval eye, a nose slit, but no mouth or ears. No hands or feet were visible at the extremities of flaring sleeves and pants. A belt with a dark central band and vertical stripes encircled the waist. Rose yelled and ran after the being, which retreated quickly and was lost to sight.

Allan reported only vague details of beings glimpsed 'out of the corner of my eye.' His composite sketch (Figure C-5) shows a broad-shouldered being with a light gray body and helmet, no belt, and no hands or feet. Long black, tapering arms were a unique feature. Allan could discern no facial details. An odor like sulfur pervaded the area. The investigator notes that, except for Rose's sighting, only vague glimpses were reported despite four witnesses in bright sunlight, a characteristic noted in other CE III cases.

Rose saw the same or a similar entity about 10 days later on Wednesday, April 19. In the G basement, Rose glanced at a window at eye level and saw a white face staring back from only a foot away (Figure C-7). The face was oval-shaped with vertical nose slits and a narrow mouth. The eyes were large, slanted, and gold. A transparent helmet may have covered the head. The frightened girl yelled at her companions, but when they looked, the face was gone. Rose believes the being was in a prone position on the ground.

On Tuesday, May 2, Doug saw two white or gray figures on the C property, 25-30 feet away, with arms held close to the body. Few details were noted, and Doug said he could have been viewing them from the rear. He did notice a left to right movement. The investigator did not interview Doug about this sighting.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently reports on UFO and humanoid sightings, emphasizing detailed witness accounts and investigative efforts. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry into anomalous phenomena, presenting documented cases and exploring potential connections between different types of sightings, such as UFOs, humanoids, and even cattle mutilation. The publication aims to provide a comprehensive record of such events, acknowledging the possibility of misinterpretation or imagination while refraining from outright dismissal of credible reports. The focus on the 'Middleton Case' highlights the value placed on multi-witness accounts and the investigation of physical evidence, however limited.

This issue of UFO Investigator, Volume 4, Issue 4, dated July 20, 1978, with a cover price of $1.50, focuses on a complex series of UFO and humanoid reports investigated by David F. Webb and Raymond E. Fowler. The primary case involves the G family and spans several years, encompassing a variety of unusual phenomena.

Key Incidents and Witness Testimony

The issue details several specific incidents. One occurred in mid-July when Nancy reported seeing a silver-white, rod-shaped device reflected in her mirror, suspended motionless about five inches from her head. Another significant event took place on a Saturday or Sunday night, September 17 or 18, where Allan observed six figures by the road in foggy conditions. Five figures wore white suits, and one wore a black suit; the latter was pointing down the road. The figures were described as reflecting light from a nearby street light, and their clothing appeared unusual. The fog was peculiar, forming a sharply defined bank 15 feet high around the beings. After about 10 minutes, the figures walked into the woods.

Raymond E. Fowler's background section details his initial involvement with the G family in late Summer or early Fall of 1977, stemming from an anonymous call about a strange man trespassing on their property and disappearing into thin air. The family had reported UFO sightings at various times. In April 1978, Mrs. G identified herself and reported a UFO seen on the ground, with a 'man' who appeared and dematerialized inside the house. Police had been called on multiple occasions without success, and a priest had blessed the house, but paranormal happenings continued.

Fowler conducted an initial interview with the G family on April 12, 1978, accompanied by David Webb, who later took over the case. The family recounted numerous events concerning UFOs or a man-like apparition, appearing outwardly sincere. Fowler's character reference check suggested the G family were believed to be honest people, not prone to hoaxes.

Investigator Evaluations

David F. Webb's evaluation (Page 14) describes the series of incidents as complicated and unique, involving landed UFOs, humanoids, cattle mutilation, poltergeist activity, strange odors, sounds, and aerial devices. He found no reason to doubt the G family's testimony, noting their sincerity and the lack of discrepancies in successive interviews. Character reference checks confirmed they were considered honest, though possibly prone to exaggeration. A neighbor's negative attitude was attributed to a dispute over property lines.

Webb felt the G family were not particularly articulate or observant, especially Allan. Theresa had a tendency to orchestrate interviews. Due to concerns about observation quality and time constraints, Webb did not pursue psychological testing, lie detector tests, or hypnosis.

Additional items of interest included annotated transcripts of interviews, a discussion of a landed UFO sighting by Nancy and Allan, and the report of the T family's experiences, which remained second-hand as replies to letters were not received. The testimony of the T family, particularly regarding the night of January 9, could have provided valuable support for the G stories. A recent confirmation noted that a linear accelerator named LINAC was built by MIT on the site of the former Essex County Hospital in Middleton. It is unknown if the device was operational during the period of the case, but its proximity to the UFO events was considered intriguing.

Raymond E. Fowler's analysis (Page 16) also expresses difficulty in reaching personal conclusions, noting that credible people reported incredible events. He suggested that interviews by a psychiatrist and lie-detector tests would be more satisfying. Fowler stated that if their accounts were taken at face value, misinterpreting natural phenomena or man-made objects seemed unlikely. The viable alternatives considered were delusion, hoax, or a real experience. He noted that a delusion theory would require psychiatric examination, and a conscious hoax seemed negated by the family's character, although motivation for monetary gain was considered due to Mr. G's unemployment and the family's intention to sell their house and move.

Fowler found the hallucination theory weakened because multiple family members and relatives reported similar sightings. Mass hallucination was deemed improbable. This left the possibility that the experiences were real, subjectively or objectively. Further examinations, including hypnotic regression, were deemed necessary for proper evaluation.

Object Characteristics and Sketches

Sketches of UFOs are included, with details on their appearance. One sketch (Appendix C-1, Page 19) shows a side and top view of a craft described as "battleship" gray, with a dull, rough surface, approximately 40 feet long and 13.5 feet high, featuring encircled windows. Another sketch (Appendix C-2, Page 20) shows a disc-shaped craft, described as dull steel gray or silver, with a bottom flatter than the top. Possible legs were noted, with a distance of 30-35 feet between them, measured by "pod marks" on the ground. The base of the legs could not be seen.

Conclusion and Editorial Stance

David F. Webb concludes that strange events did occur in Middleton and were observed by multiple people over several months or years. He finds the January 1978 UFO incidents and the white-suited humanoid sightings particularly noteworthy due to multiple witnesses, close range, and daylight observations. He considers it highly unlikely that all observers were lying, hoaxing, hallucinating, or misinterpreting phenomena. He categorizes the January UFO sightings and "prowler" figure sightings as "low-weight unknowns" and the white-suited humanoid reports as a "significant unknown CE III."

Raymond E. Fowler, in his original signed statement dated July 20, 1978, states that he is not yet able to come to a conclusion concerning the validity and importance of this potentially interesting case, pending further examinations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO sightings, humanoid encounters (specifically white-suited figures), and the challenges of investigating such phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious inquiry, presenting detailed witness accounts and investigator evaluations while acknowledging the difficulties in definitively proving or disproving the extraordinary claims. The publication seems committed to exploring these cases thoroughly, even when faced with ambiguous evidence and the need for further investigation.

This document, identified as "APPENDIX C-3" through "APPENDIX C-7" and pages 21-26 of a publication, presents a series of sketches and notes related to alleged humanoid sightings and associated evidence from 1978. The content appears to be a collection of witness accounts and artist renditions, likely from a UFO investigation or report.

Humanoid Descriptions and Sightings

Several pages are dedicated to detailed sketches of humanoid figures, providing specific characteristics:

• Page 21 (APPENDIX C-3): Features a sketch of a humanoid figure approximately 4.5 feet tall. The helmet is described as dark gray ("battleship" gray), the suit is white, and the hands are dark gray. A "detail of hand" is also illustrated. The date of sighting is noted as 1/10 - 11/78, with the sketch traced by Thomas J. G on 4/12/78.

• Page 22 (APPENDIX C-4): Focuses on head details. Sketch (a) shows a face described as "light gray" with "wrap-around eyes, dark blue." It explicitly states "No facial detail observed." Sketch (b) shows a more oval head shape. The date of sighting is 4/9/78, with tracings by Douglas G and Allan G on 4/23/78.

• Page 23 (APPENDIX C-5): Presents a sketch of a humanoid figure where the "Body and helmet light gray." A notable detail is the "sharp demarcation of black arms and gray body." The arms are described as black and tapered to the body contour, with no hands noted. The base of the legs and feet were not seen. The date of sighting is 4/9/78, with the sketch traced by Allan G on 4/23/78.

• Page 24 (APPENDIX C-6): Shows a side profile of a humanoid figure, estimated at 5'3" tall. It features a "Round transparent helmet" with a gap between the face and helmet, and sun glinting off it. A "detail of belt" is shown, colored black. The arms appear black. The date of sighting is 4/9/78, with the sketch traced by Rose P on 9/23/78.

• Page 25 (APPENDIX C-7): A close-up sketch of a face described as "white" with "Eyes gold." It is noted that the figure was observed from about one foot away. The presence of a helmet is suggested ("Possibly a helmet"). The date of sighting is 4/19/78, with the sketch traced by Rose P on 9/23/78.

Physical Trace Evidence

• Page 26 (PHOTO NO. 6 & 7): This page presents photographic evidence. Photo No. 6 shows an open area where "Allan found 'pod' marks and possibly over which he saw UFO with legs on 1/12/78." The view is described as approximately 180 degrees from Allan's home. The photo points to the only remaining mark. Photo No. 7 shows Allan with a ruler, detailing the depth of the remaining "pod" mark. The hole is 4 inches deep, 6 inches wide, with an inclined surface.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring theme is the detailed documentation of alleged humanoid encounters, emphasizing visual characteristics and physical evidence. The publication appears to take a serious approach to these reports, providing space for multiple witness accounts and artistic interpretations, alongside photographic evidence of trace marks. The consistent use of "APPENDIX C-" numbering suggests this is part of a larger report or series. The editorial stance seems to be one of careful documentation and presentation of UFO-related phenomena, without explicit endorsement or dismissal, allowing the details to speak for themselves.
