I continue the Nordic humanoid encounter series with four new fascinating cases from Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway....
The farting aliens.
Raklev in Denmark, August 1956
This report has some funny elements and is a little unusual and was only published some years ago by the witness Arne‑Harder Jørgensen. He held on to it, because it would have strained his credibility in the labor market — in the military and later in the postal service.
The story takes place when Arne‑Harder was a 10 year old boy in the village of Raklev on Zealand in Denmark. One evening in August 1956 at approx. 8 pm he was playing “cowboys and indians” with other children and he hid in a pit he had dug in a hedge to the neighbour's yard. As he lay there waiting, he suddenly heard some strangers speaking "like Japanese”, he thought is sounded like. He looked up and saw some small persons 7-10 meters (20-30 feet) away, eating rasberries from the bushes in the neighbour’s garden, while they farted and laughed out loudly like little boys. Armed with his air pistol, he snuck up on them, but was hit by a toxic stench of poop and chemicals.
The "poison gas" came from three small, gray beings. Since this was Scandinavia in the summer, it was not very dark outside at 8 pm, so he could see them quite clearly. They were 120 cm (4 feet) tall with enormously large heads, small mouths, two small holes for the nose and large, round, red or purple eyes. They all looked alike like “three drops of water”. The three also had tight fitting clothes and some big oversized shoes on their feet, like “moon boots”.
At the sight of him, the beings throw away the rasberries. Arne‑Harder Jørgensen wanted to flee back down into his pit, but was paralyzed and turned towards the aliens. Two of them immediately ran away towards the apple orchard, while the third came closer and studied him and not least his air pistol. The boy felt that he was both photographed and X-rayed by the creature’s strange eyes.
Finally the little gray man ran after the others. Arne-Harder remained motionless until a spaceship emerged behind a nearby ridge and sped upwards towards the sky at very high speed. This broke the “spell”, and he ran back to the other kids, who hadn't noticed anything unusual.
First thing the next morning, he and three other children went up to the old gravel pit, which was located behind the ridge, and here they found four holes, which they assumed were from the landing gear of the craft. They also found a strange substance in the middle between the holes. This lump they peeled apart and hammered it down into a couple of the holes, which they covered with stone and sand. The aliens large, clumsy "moon boots" had also left traces both in the gravel pit and in the nearby pastures. The neighbour also said that a flower stand and three chickens were missing. The children found the stand in the gravel pit. But the birds were gone - along with the aliens. Also when Arne-Harder shot his air pistol a few days later, it broke into pieces, even though it was almost new.
This story has some childish and far fetched elements. Farting and laughing aliens eating berries? Really? Could this just be a kid’s fantasy story? Maybe, maybe not. And the other children who also saw the traces in the gravel pit, were never found or interviewed. Though the witness experienced this as a child, he waited until his retirement to tell the story, to not jeopardize his career. And the man was an officer in the military for a long time. That gives him some credibility. Or does it? Nothing is of course certain…

The Kinnula Ufonaut.
Kinnula in the middle of Finland, February 2-5 1971
On February 2, 1971, at approximately 8 pm, two Finnish women - Sinikka Kuittinen and one Mrs. Manninen - were driving from Kuusamo towards Oulu in a region near Kiiminki, when they saw a strange light behind their car, on the right side of the road.
After a few moments, this mysterious light slipped over the vehicle and began to pace the car on the left side of the road. Sinikka, who was driving the vehicle, claimed that as the UFO passed overhead her ears began to mysteriously “plug up.” When the pair arrived at a nearby field, the light abruptly disappeared. This is when Kuittinen and Manninen both claimed to have caught a glimpse of the unbelievable. The women later insisted that they had seen a peculiar, helmeted creature that stood approximately 1 m (3-feet) tall. They both agreed that this strange being was clad in a greenish-brown suit and crossed the road in front of them utilizing a series of small jumps.
This odd being swiftly disappeared on the far side of the road, which, the women confirmed, was a desolate area with no buildings or houses. Kuittinen, whose fear far outweighed her curiosity, hit the gas and sped directly toward the city of Oulu. Neither woman seemed interested in investigating the matter any further. As fascinating as this incident was, this would not be the last, nor the most frightening encounter that people would have with this enigmatic creature.
The incident that made this ostensibly alien being famous occurred on the snowy, overcast afternoon of February 5, 1971. On this day two lumberjacks, 21-year-old Petter Aliranta and 18-year-old Esko Juhani Sneck, had a close encounter that would haunt them for the remainder of their days. The fantastic event began at approximately 3:00 pm when the young duo, who had spent the morning cutting down trees in the forests near the village of Kangaskyla in Kinnula, Finland, decided to call it a day because the overcast conditions were making it too dark to continue.
According to their account, Aliranta had just turned off his chainsaw, when he suddenly noticed an odd metallic object hovering at tree-top level. He claimed that it was shaped like “two saucers” on top of each other and was about 5 m (15 feet) in diameter. At the bottom of the vehicle, there were four thin landing legs with rounded bases, which he estimated to be more than 2 m (6 feet) long. If the craft made any sound it was no doubt overwhelmed by the continued roaring of Sneck’s chainsaw. Aliranta continued to watch as a circular portal opened at the base of the slowly descending ship. Within moments, the object landed in a small clearing between the trees, less than 15 m (45 feet) away from the awestruck lumberjack and his still oblivious comrade. Aliranta stared in amazement as a weird, green-garbed entity slowly descended through the open portal from the bowels of the craft. He later described this unusual entity as being less than 1 m (3 feet) in height and with its entire body covered in a green, one-piece suit. On the front of the head was a faceplate that was described as being akin to that of a scuba diver.
Although the creature had arms and legs, the suit gave no indication of hands or fingers. The apparent structure of this suit seems to be similar to a hazmat suit or the deep sea suits divers wear to protect them from the pressure of the oceans most severe depths. Perhaps this alien was wearing something similar as the pressure of Earth’s surface may be harmful to creatures like itself. While this is pure speculation, there is still the possibility that it is true. The bizarre “Ufonaut” seemed to defy gravity as it floated down the 2 m (6 feet) to the snow-covered ground below the ship. It was then, much to Aliranta’s alarm, this creature began to approach him. Much to the lumberjack’s surprise, the being did not sink into the snow but continued toward him with short, stiff, gliding movements akin to that of an astronaut skipping on the moon. Aliranta described the motion as almost robotic, but perhaps its movement was just inhibited by the suit it was wearing. At that moment, Aliranta, who was understandably terrified, started his chainsaw. Sneck — who was so focused on cutting branches off a felled tree he had not noticed the anomalous aircraft or its occupant, turned at the roar of the chainsaw and saw the shocked expression on his friend’s face as well as the tiny, alien oddity that was galloping toward them.

The lumberjack, with what must be accredited to a jolt of youthful bravery, advanced upon the humanoid as Sneck watched dumbfounded. Aliranta and the encroaching alien were less than 10 m (30 feet) apart when the entity abruptly turned and started back towards his craft with the same looping gait. This retreat further emboldened Aliranta who now ran in pursuit of the “little green man.” When he got closer to the UFO, Aliranta claimed to have noticed other vaguely humanoid figures through three “windows” on the topside of the vehicle. When the alien was just 3 m (9 feet) away from the craft, it l...
