The background of this event as reported in an e-mail (3/11/2009) from Derrel Sims follows:

“At approximately 2:40 am, January 2, 2008 two Leyton, UT men (ages 23 and 32) were startled by a commotion outside their home, approximately ¼ mile south of Hill AFB. Simultaneously, both of their cell phones rang and caller ID indicated “unknown”. Both men left the house and were surprised to find two sets of footprints in the 8” deep snow.

Seven were approximately 2.5 feet long, with no entry or terminal prints, having three toes resembling a lizard track. The other set of footprints (also with no entry or terminal prints) resembled deer tracks without the dew prints. The men took several photographs of the prints using their cellular phones. One of the tracks contained a small piece of what appeared to be skin.”

The object is to determine the nature of the specimen found in the track. Following is a photograph of the sample:

Conclusions

• Analysis of the specimen shows it is of plant origin. It is similar in composition to a decaying leaf, i.e. decaying vegetation. Specifically, it is composed of a major amount of natural glycerol ester, some carbohydrate, and some protein-type material. The brown spots on the specimen appear to be fungal material.
• The claim that this is from a reptilian creature is unfounded because the specimen originates from plant material, not animal. Also, cold-blooded reptilian type creatures would not be expected to be wandering around in mid-winter and in 8 inches of snow. Because reptiles are cold-blooded, they cannot regulate their body temperature. So, they would become inactive and hibernate.

Description (In Witness’s Own Words): This is the incident that happened in 1982. (By the way I believe there were other abductions besides the 1973 and 1982 ones.) I have difficulty bringing up the full memories of the incidents and therefore will not attempt to report them to anyone at this time. The beings themselves were like “small green beings” in tight fitting space suits or diving suits.

No bigger than 2-3 feet. The reptilians (for lack of a better word), were very tall 7-8 feet tall. As for the ships, the one big “mother ship” for lack of a better term – was very big – cone shaped, like an ice cream cone, slowly moved around it’s axis and had multi-colored lights on it — very brilliant.

My aunt exclaimed, “What in God’s name is that?” as the small beings surrounded her and the field. The wave of reptilians started shortly after the influx of these small green beings which looked like “men” to me.

These beings were not the greys but some other type of species I believe. The saucer shaped vehicles in the field were 10-20 feet in diameter at most and hovered above the field. Some of them were stationary on their “landing gear” I would suppose.

Investigator’s Notes: I haven’t spoken with this witness, but his story is somewhat hard to follow.

He is describing very similar experiences that other abductees have recounted. The veracity of this story rests with the credibility of the witness.

TUCSON, Ariz. (Cryptozoology News) — A group of three mountain bikers reportedly saw a reptilian humanoid last week in the middle of a trail located in the Sonoran desert.

The bicyclists were riding the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo race course, a 17 mile trail, when they spotted the creature.

“It’s a tough one,” said G. Johnson, 34, a self-described businessperson from Tucson. “It is a 24 hour track, so you better come prepared with more than enough food and water. There are times you just wanna go back and wish you had never got there in the first place. But when you see what nature has to offer you here…well, those regrets dissipate rather quickly.”

Johnson states that he and two other friends were half way into the track when something “terrifying” made the group consider cancelling the ride.

“We had been riding for about… I don’t know maybe nine hours, taking breaks every now and then. Then Michael says he needs to stop for a minute. We are waiting for him to finish when all of a sudden we see this long figure walking across the trail. He is maybe about 6-foot tall, very very skinny, and it had an awkward gait, like a monkey…or a man with a disease, almost robotic, kind of,” he told Cryptozoology News.

According to the eyewitness, two of the men were watching the strange animal while the third one, Michael, was unaware of what was happening.

“Then all I remember about Michael is him saying what the hell is that? Or something like that. But he sounded far away. He probably used a different word instead of hell. Thing is, we had somehow walked a little towards the thing. Don’t ask me why…maybe to look at it better, not knowing what it was.”

Then, Johnson says, the creature “heard Michael speak” and, apparently taking notice of the “intruders”, its head took an eerie 280 degree turn.

“He stopped and it made eye contact with me and I could see him clearly. The eyes were kind of like a snake’s, but black and with a yellow stripe in the middle of the eye. It had green and red scales on the face and head. The red color was kind of like the same as the desert sand there, and it looked like it had a sandy texture too. It didn’t have a nose, only two holes on it. I couldn’t see any ears or hair. A red mouth that looked like it had blood around it, but it didn’t look like it was bleeding, it looked like a pattern. It reminded me of a chameleon, but it looked like a person too.”

Allegedly, the creature raised its “long arms with strange looking claws that looked like a branch full of thorns” and waved at them, emitting a loud chattering sound with its teeth. Then it rapidly ran away, in a fashion that reminded the witness of “a lizard trying to hide.”

“He looked like he was examining us and then he ran into the desert. We thought about going back the same way we came, but we thought it didn’t matter, since we were in the middle of the track anyway. We were scared, to be honest. None of us had ever seen anything like it. It lasted only a few seconds, but it felt longer than that, at least to me. So after we talked about it for a while, we decided to go on and finish the track.”

Johnson believes that what they saw was real and not a product of their imagination. “When you read these stories online or watch them on TV, well, you think man these people are crazy, on meds or something or in need of attention, but this has made me a believer. There has to be more of them out there. If there’s one, there’s gotta be two at least right? I know most people won’t believe a word I said, that’s the way I used to be. I don’t blame them at all. But they are out there. Now I’m not saying this is an alien or a chupacabra or anything like it, all I’m saying is I have never seen anything like it in my life. But I am no biologist so what do I know.”

Theories of subterranean “alien” bases are popular in the UFO community and describe the entities as humanoids of reptilian appearance. Southwestern Native American legends tell the story of underground creatures living next to humans for thousands of years. People living around the New Mexico border report seeing strange lights in the sky and bizarre phenomena. Indirectly creating a thin line between cryptozoology and ufology, writer Mac Tonnies, in his book The Cryptoterrestrials: A Meditation on Indigenous Humanoids and the Aliens Among Us, proposes the idea that certain “alien” sightings could be attributed to the existence of a group of humanoid species endemic to Earth.
