Amoeba Mummies of
Lomo De Ballena
By Cole Herrold
The more one delves into the world of
extraterrestrials, the more there are not only more bizarre encounters to read
but also some interesting connections to other more famous cases. Perhaps the
most famous is the rash of sightings of entities that seem similar to the
Flatwoods Monster that occurred in Frametown. Similar cases occur today, such
as when the show Hellier tried to link the Hopkinsville Goblins to a few
anomalous photos of a creature and footprints they received. Its cases like
this that in some way adds a patina of authenticity as others from various
countries and from various decades describe encounters with the same or similar
beings. This case from Peru is potentially is one such case as it bears some
hallmarks in the appearance of the extraterrestrials to those of an infamous
U.F.O. abduction case.
It was around 4:30 pm on February or March
of 1952 (some sources state 1947) when a witness known only as
"C.A.V." (assumedly initials) was driving along the Pan American
Highway heading northbound towards the city of Lima. The witness was driving
along when as he approached a desert area near Lomo De Ballena when something
shiny seemed to catch his attention in the sky above. As he looked to see what
this glaring object was, he noticed that it was a large object that appeared
oval in shape. The object slowly began to descend, and "C.A.V.,"
curious about this strange craft, began to leave the safety of the road and,
leaving his car, headed towards the now resting object. As "C.A.V."
came closer to the object at a full sprint, he noticed that from what appeared
to be a seamless object, a glowing door which opened along the side of the
craft. He started to slow down as he saw this and came to a complete stop as
something started to emerge from the now open vessel.
From this opening came three bizarre
entities; each of them was approximately five feet tall, and their form was
described as appearing like that of a classic mummy. They had noticeably joined
legs that ended in a large round foot, and their form was covered in a
towel-like texture for skin. When "C.A.V." looked into the face of
the creatures, he noticed that they had no noticeable eyes, nose, mouth, or
ears but where the eyes would have been a large transparent jelly with a large
bubble in the middle. The trio of extraterrestrials proceeded to look at
"C.A.V." before the entities began to speak to the understandably
frightened man and ask in perfect English whether they were in North America.
The entities stared at the man who could only respond with no, this is South
America. The entities continued to look at the man and just then begun to speak
fluent Spanish and say to the continuously surprised man, "take us to your
chief." The entities seeing that the man was surprised by this request,
soon explained that they were from another star and were concerned about the
dangers this planet could cause with atomic energy. The man continued to listen
and stare in disbelief at the entities when suddenly, for no true apparent
reason, the entities decided to give him a lesson in the birds and bees on
their species and state that they as a species were asexual and that they
reproduce by fission. As the entities were explaining all this, one suddenly
started to split in two like an amoeba resulting in now four identical
mummy-like creatures.
After this conversation, the entities,
seemingly now unconcerned with finding a leader, began to head once more to
their ship. As they did this, one turned around and asked him if he would like
to come aboard. Apparently no longer frightened by these visitors, “C.A.V."
approached the craft cautiously and slowly began to enter the craft. The first
thing he noticed was that the craft was transparent from the inside, and he
could see everything around him. The next most startling thing about this
object was that the object contained no machinery. "C.A.V." entered
the craft, and the door closed; the craft proceeded to take him on a quick
drive along the coast. What happened after this went unreported, but something
had happened to "C.A.V." to the point that this entire encounter was erased
from his memory and would be brought back to remembrance through the aid of
hypnosis.
As with most South American cases, there
appears to be nothing else written about this case. I came across this case in
Albert S. Rosales masterpiece Humanoid Encounters: 1950-1954, and the
only source listed for this case was simply listed as Richard Greenwell. I've
been trying to see if this came from a book or article, but the lack of source
outside of the researcher makes further follow-up on this account extremely
difficult. With that said, it is extremely interesting, but to me, the most
interesting aspect of this case is a similarity to a groundbreaking and
infamous case.
In 1973 a similar group of
extraterrestrials was responsible for abducting two individuals out fishing on
the Pascagoula River. The case known as the Pascagoula Abduction featured three
strange extraterrestrials who abductees Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker would
describe as having elephantine-like skin with legs that connect into a single
round foot. The creature's arms were long with mitten-like hands and also had
featureless faces with one exception they bore three long carrot-like
projections, which appeared where the ears and nose would be. Those features
were the only facial features the creatures had. These abductors are almost
identical to the Amoeba Mummies except for the faces of the entities, which
while both are basically featureless, the Pascagoula abductors did have the
long carrot-shaped protrusions, whereas the Amoeba Mummies had that black jelly
with a bubble. Perhaps the Pascagoula Abductors are the same, and that what
appeared to be spiky protrusions were some sort of technology or helmet that
hid the black goo from view.
Even with the similarities to the Pascagoula
Abductors, these entities do seem to be very different; they talk as opposed to
the Pascagoula entities, which only were reported to make beeping sounds adding
to the hypothesis that they may have been robots or something similar. The
Amoeba Mummies reproduce something the Pascagoula Abductors, at least from what
was reported, did not or were incapable of. The Mummies also had a very
different style of craft compared to what the Pascagoula Abductors came in, so
this difference in technology could also mean that they are different
culturally and species-wise.
While there might not be a connection with
the Pascagoula Abductors, these aliens might be connected to a wider series of
U.F.O. flaps that had occurred throughout South America during the 50s and 60s.
These encounters had several areas of high concentration, but one particular
area worth noting and, of course, important to this case is the Pan American
Highway. The Pan American Highway had tons of cases of people reporting crafts
as well as several bizarre entities which may have been connected or are
directly connected with U.F.O.s. One particular case is the Martian Shrub which
occurred in 1962 when two men had almost hit a nearly 3ft tall entity covered
in silver and gold strips with several eyes over its plant-like body. Perhaps
this entire area has some features that appeal to these visitors that we have
not discovered yet.
From what I have so far discovered, there
have, after the Pascagoula case, never been any other similar entities
reported. These entities, much like the rest of the Space Parade, leave us with
a variety of questions, especially with their concern about our atomic usage.
Are these entities concerned with our welfare or our capabilities of stopping
an invasion, or is it that this is some resource that never should have been
utilized? We perhaps will never know the truth since most of these entities
disappear, never to be reported or seen ever again.
