Back in 1965, an 18 year old Orlando Jorge Ferraudi was out fishing alone on the shore of Rio De La Planta in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The area was frequented by the homeless so it was not uncommon for Ferraudi to be approached and would often take packets of cigarettes to give to them so they didn’t harass him during his fishing.
At around 23:30 he became aware of someone behind him, turning to see he expected to see one of the homeless people. In fact, behind him stood a tall (over 2 meters) humanoid like figure. Dressed head to toe in a yellow one piece suit with a hood at the back, Orlando could see small sparks coming off it.
He could see the being had white blonde hair, cut short with very pale skin and amber eyes. Telepathically the being spoke to him and told him not to be afraid and to come with him as they had a long journey ahead. He recalls not being able to say no to any of the commands.
The being then took out a small gadget from his suit, not unlike a make-up compact. Each time he moved it, it caused Orlando to become faint and nauseous. He noticed that the object beamed a bright light and saw that something was coming up from under the water. The object was around 70ft wide and looked like an inverted soup bowl.
A narrow metal walkway then appeared from the craft and Orlando was guided towards another being and onto the craft. He found himself in a small room, filled with luminous light with no apparent source. The room was domed in shape and had no edges. To his shock, a small girl was present in the same room. She said her name was Elena and was 11 years old. She recalled being taken by the beings from her home in San Luis, Argentina.
A tall, athletic female being then entered the room, dressed the same as her fellow beings. She led Elena out of the room and another being instructed Orlando to get undressed. He stripped to his underwear however was told he needed to be naked as his clothes were “contaminated”. The being took the clothes and put them in a bin-like receptacle that then filled with green smoke.
Orlando was handed a small piece of fabric and was told telepathically to put it on. Not thinking for a second it would fit, being no more than 30cm long, he was surprised to find it fitted him perfectly and grew to accommodate him. He recalls it felt as if he had nothing on.
Elena then came back to the room, also now dressed in a similar outfit. Both were informed, again telepathically, that they would go underwater south of Buenos Aires, out to the coast of Uruguay and over towards Africa when they would then go into space. The beings said this was due to making sure they remained undetected to “hostile” advances.
Orlando was informed that genetic experimentation had been taking place with humans on Earth for thousands of years. They described Earth as a “zoo” for other life in space and our genetics had origins on other worlds.
Elena and Orlando were taken to the “bridge” of the ship. 10 further beings were there controlling an collection of different mechanical instruments. He could see that Earth was getting further away by looking out of the huge windows, however he recalls feeling no movement whatsoever. They were shown the moon and then oddly the sun which appeared black, perhaps meaning it was being viewed using a light filter.
Following this view, the beings informed Orlando that they would be heading back to Earth. Orlando could see from the window this was now being done at a phenomenal speed and became very scared. He was then told “Do not be concerned. When we are near, we shall form a field with the Earth and will not collide with it”. Suddenly they had arrived in the Caribbean Sea.
Suddenly Orlando was aware he was in a smaller ship that had now docked with a much larger craft (stating this was several acres in size) and was told it was a “maintenance station”. It was shaped like an igloo.
Escorted through a long tunnel, they entered a room with small cot-like beds. Both Orlando and Elena were given drinks which were the consistency of honey and tablets to take. Telepathically they were willed to do this and assured they would be ok and would just feel “sleepy”. They were then placed into separate cots, with instruments that hung above them.
Orlando awoke, not knowing how long he had been asleep and was asked to redress in the clothes that had previously been removed by the beings. He was told he had been “adjusted” to know when the beings were thinking of him as he would get a ringing or buzzing in his ears.
Within a flash he found himself back at the scene of his abduction. Several hours had passed. An image was in his mind as shown below but had no idea what it meant or what had happened to his young friend Elena.
He could still recall every detail of the ship, remembering its two floors, motor room (driven by beings in blue suits) and Command Bridge. He recalled he was told that the ship moved using a combination of force feels to glide upon – cosmic, solar and magnetic. He remembered the beings had both male and female creatures. More alarmingly he then recalled a warning that they would not hesitate to use their “special energy” against the Earth if we jeopardized interstellar harmony.
To date, Orlando never changed any aspect of his story. He never managed to find Elena nor work out the image that remained in his head of a triangle inside a circle and what it could possibly mean for inhabitants on Earth
