The Almasty of the Caucasus
Northern Caucasus, Russia
In the high valleys of Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia, herders and hunters have for two centuries described a hair-covered humanoid that lives at the margin of human settlement and occasionally enters barns and gardens at night.
Utsuro-bune Encounter
Hitachi Province, Japan
Japanese fishermen encountered a strange, hollow vessel containing a beautiful woman with unusual features. The 'hollow ship' is considered by some researchers to be an early UFO close encounter.
Utsuro-bune - The Hollow Ship
Hitachi Province, Japan
In 1803, Japanese fishermen allegedly encountered a strange vessel adrift off the coast - a round, hollow ship with crystal windows containing a young woman holding a box. The story, recorded in multiple Edo-period documents, is one of the earliest detailed accounts of a UFO-like encounter and its occupant.
Chuchunya, The Siberian Wildman
Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Russia
The Yakut and Evenk peoples of northeastern Siberia describe Chuchunya as a tall, hair-covered, fur-clad outsider seen on the tundra fringe — a figure modern researchers have linked variously to a relict hominid, a surviving indigenous group, or pure folklore.
