On October 15, 1995 there was an incident in a country where information about UFOs and other anomalous phenomena was almost non-existent and very much controlled by the government.
In the village of Torriente, Matanzas Province, Cuba, 74-year old farmer, Adolfo Serrate, despite the light rain, left his house early in order to work his cornfield.
Around 9:20 a.m. Serrate decided to take a much needed smoke break. As he exhaled the smoke he looked towards the sky and was surprised to see a round object that was descending quickly and silently towards the nearby fields. Scared, Serrate hid among the cornfield and the edge of the field. He was concerned he ‘would be kidnapped’ since his cousin had mysteriously disappeared in the same area 2 years before. Crouching low to the ground he watched the round craft descend to the ground. It gently landed on some grass on a sort of landing gear that the witness compared to ‘skates.”
The surface of the object was very smooth, without any visible details and it gave Serrate the impression that it was colored in different tones of green, almost as if camouflaged.
He estimated the object to be as large as a passenger car. Breathlessly he noticed that the object had a transparent glass section, which he interpreted as the control cabin. The strange craft did not have any wings or rotors or wheels like he was familiar with when he was aircraft mechanic in the service. To Serrate it resembled the top of a turtle. An aperture like that of a sliding door became visible, and from where he was, about 60 to 80 metres away, he could not clearly see the interior. However he was able to see what appeared to be a human-like figure come out of the opening. He was not able to see any facial features since the figure was completely covered in a suit the same color as the object.
The figure’s head and face were covered with a sort of gas mask black in colour. The individual walked around the object and on several occasions seemed to bend down and pluck some of the malanga and calabaza roots on the field. The figure then walked behind the object and when he came around again he leaned against the hull of the object next to the opening. He then made a sort of gesture with his head towards the inside of the object perhaps communicating with other unseen occupants. Moments later he boarded the object and the door closed, without leaving any signs that it was actually there. Serrate remained watching the scene not knowing what to expect next.
Suddenly he felt a sort of air wave or shock on his face, which also disturbed the cornstalks and other small plants around him, at the same time he could see the UFO ascending vertically into the sky, without emitting any fire, smoke and making any noise.
At about 50 feet in height it stopped briefly and at this point Serrate saw what appeared to be a thin blue flame coming out from an unknown source on the top of the object.
The object then took off in a horizontal flight towards the south towards the nearby National Highway, still completely silent. Immediately the witness ran home and notified the police, afraid that he had seen an “enemy aircraft engaged in sabotage.”
Later investigators interviewed other locals who reported seeing the same or similar craft in flight. At the site they found physical evidence, including footprints, and leaves scorched black by the object’s propulsion system. The material was reportedly turned over to the Cuban Academy of Sciences. - The Cuban Academy of Sciences / www.agoracosmopolitan.com

The nineties was a decade of change, genocide, (Rwanda, Yugoslavia, etc), Operation Desert Storm, and of perhaps the beginning of a new phase in natural disasters (Hurricane Andrew). It also brought information from areas in the world which before there was few if any.
The unprecedented wave of reports which began in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union in 1989 reached its peak during 1990-1992, hundreds of cases were catalogued by numerous UFO groups and investigators from those countries, but unfortunately many or most remained un-translated and unknown to most Western researches, perhaps with a few exceptions.
A notable case was reported in Simferopol, located in the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine. Before his encounter in 1990, the witness, a teenager from Yalta, back in the summer of 1928 was loitering in the mountains of the Ai’ Petri plateau, walking among the rocks and crags when suddenly he noticed a strange light emanating from a “karst” (shaft) on the ground. Being curious he approached closer and kept watching the unearthly light from coming out of the shaft. Some time later he was suddenly seized by fear and ran home.
Many years later (1990) the same witness (now obviously an adult) was in his bedroom at night when a very tall woman suddenly appeared in his room amidst a strange circle of light. The woman communicated by using telepathy and said, “Do you remember when you were a young boy, you saw the light from the place we live in the shaft?” The man was stunned since he had not told anybody about his previous experience. Before disappearing the strange woman told him that they lived in an underground city under the Ai’ Petri plateau with an approximate population of 2,000. She added that they traveled in UFOs.
This case is part of the underground lore involving UFO bases and installations and of course ancient civilizations. Beginning in the 90’s encounters with entities at times described as ‘looking like human-alien hybrids’ or strange looking humans that did not quite fit in or acted very bizarrely were beginning to be reported more often and from almost worldwide locations. - Ron Halliday, UFO Scotland / www.agoracosmopolitan.com
