1925 Don Woods Encounter, Nevada

[conspiracygirl]

In 1925 Don Wood and another American landed in a two-seater plane on Flat Mesa, near Battle Mountain in the Nevada desert. While walking about the top they noticed something coming in to land. It was round and flat like a saucer, and about 8 ft across, with a reddish underside. It skidded to a stop about 30 ft away.

They walked up to it and found that it was an animal like nothing they had seen before. It had a mica-like body, but no visible eyes or legs. It was hurt, and as it breathed the top would rise and fall making a half-foot hole around it like a clam opening and closing. A hunk had been chewed out of one side of the rim, from which a metal-looking froth issued. After a 20-minute rest, it started pulsating again, and grew very bright except where it was hurt. It tried to rise up, but sank back again.

Suddenly the men saw a much larger animal, 30 ft across, approaching. It settled on the smaller one with 4 sucker-like tongues. Then it grew too dazzling to look at, and both rose straight up and shot out of sight in a second, at an estimated speed of 1000 miles an hour. They left behind an awful stench. The frothy stuff the little creature had ’bled’ looked like fine aluminum wire, and there was more frothy, wiry stuff in a 30-ft circle where the big creature had been. This material finally melted in the sun. Don Wood did not publicize this incident until 1959 as he doubted whether anyone would believe him. He pointed out that the larger animal would appear as a 30-ft light if seen at night [19]

Does anyone know of more references to this incident? It's fascinating.

I was not familiar with this report, conspiracygirl. If true, it would mean that some flying saucers are intelligent biomechanical lifeforms, presumably capable of carrying humanoid passengers/crew across the atmosphere or space.

And that they can get injured/damaged: maybe they have enemies or predators. I wonder if the second UFO was rescuing a team member, or if it was scavenging/capturing injured prey.

I wondered the same thing. It didn't take a bite out of it as presumably another assailant had.

It's an interesting ..story.
This is the source of the tale.

I recall reading about this many years ago when I first got into ufos unfortunately the idea has never panned out and no one has ever found a carcass.

[conspiracygirl]

Thanks for those links, I searched but could only find the Constable link. I find this interesting because it is so unusual. They never found a carcass because allegedly the big one took the smaller one away.

I am somewhat leery of these tales that have a single source. I am also leery of anyone who cites Wilhelm Reich as a source. Reich was smack dab in the middle of the 1950s contactee scene so I'm not at all sure you can take his word for anything.

Reich was an eccentric (but brilliant according to some) when it came to some of his medical and science ideas but I don't recall him being a ''contactee''.
He did invent a 'cloudbuster' device that allegedly affected the atmosphere to produce various weather effects/rain. He also claimed it somehow either attracted 'ufos' or made them go away...can't recall exactly.
Sadly he was badly mistreated by a fanatic bunch of closed minded gubbermit fools who imprisoned him -for no good reason except it was the 1950's and people were 'patriotic' stooges afraid of commies and all manner of subversives-..... then destroyed his work and he died in prison.
God bless our democratic nation.

I don't believe this--either the report or constable's notion. Sounds like something he made up to support the absurd "living ufo" bs--I don't recall any recent, or real report like this--and dated it way back so nobody could check it properly.

There aren't many tales like this of actual living ufos. Constable was the one who more or less created this category. I think Sanderson also leaned in the direction at times that some ufos were actual creatures. I also think Fort alluded to sky creatures in his books.

I'm always interested in cases that were reported well before Roswell and Kenneth Arnold. That way you avoid the case been tainted with similarities from these two well known incidents.
