An
Unidentified ‘Flying Humanoid’
Videotaped Above Santa Monica
By Ed Sherwood
On July 11th 1991
(nearly fourteen years ago before writing this report), the
most significant single mass
UFO sighting and event of the last century occurred above the
worlds largest city, Mexico City, and other cities around
Mexico. It was prophesized by the Maya 1200 years ago to usher
in a new era of ‘Cosmic Awareness’ and ‘Earth Changes’, and
since then much has come to pass to fulfill that prophesy (Ref.
1-4);
‘Quetzalcoatl’ it seems has ‘returned’, and to date, more UFO
footage has emerged from Mexico than anywhere else on Earth,
affirming we are NOT alone.
In Early
2004, Kris and I began to read about recent sightings of
unidentified flying ‘humanoids’ observed in the skies over
Mexico, including two daylight cases in which the ‘entity’ had
also been videotaped (Ref. 5 & 6) Unprecedented in UFOlogy,
nonhuman beings had been videotaped flying high and low above city neighborhoods
in broad daylight! Five months later we had the opportunity to view some of the most compelling footage, from multiple 'UFH' (Unidentified Flying Humanoid) encounters, at a presentation to the Los Angeles MUFON group by Mexican UFOlogist, Santiago Yturria, and were very impressed.
Video footage of darkly covered flying humanoid entities or ‘hombrecitos volodaros’ is a ‘recent’
and historic development in UFO activity above Mexico, and elsewhere. UFH encounters, with
various individual and sometimes groups of nonhuman beings, have been reported around the
world since antiquity (Ref.7), but only very recently, in the ‘timeline’ of ETI and Human
encounters, has one or more UFH been videotaped.
Were it not for the many videotaped UFH sightings in Mexico I probably wouldn’t have published
this report for some time but, remarkably, less than four months after viewing the video evidence
from Mexico, Kris and I observed an almost identical looking ‘Unidentified Flying Humanoid’ or
‘UFH’ flying purposefully over the neighborhood of Santa Monica we were living in, and I
managed to videotape it!

Date & Time of Sighting: November 27th
2004, approximately 10:15 am
Number of Observer/s: Two (Ed and Kris Sherwood)
Observer/s Location: A residential neighborhood of North
West Santa Monica, California, USA.
UFO Location: It was first observed above North West
Santa Monica heading in a South South Westerly direction at an
angle of about 50 degrees above the horizon.
Kris and I were out walking our dog ‘Bessie’, a blond Labrador, a few city blocks from our apartment, when the sighting occurred.
Approximately half way down one street, as the dog stopped to
sniff, I looked up, and between two buildings immediately
noticed something very strange in the sky, flying slowly towards
us (Fig. 1, & Fig. 2B-C). At first, I considered a helicopter
high above the city and perhaps one to two miles away. It was
‘solid’ looking, bulky, and ‘dark’ gray to black in appearance.
However, the more I watched it the closer it came, and the
nearer it came the more anomalous it looked.
I quickly realized the ‘UFO’ was much smaller and much closer
than originally thought,
and it wasn’t a helicopter. Instead, it was about a third of a
mile away, made no discernable sound, was about the size of a
very large man, and looked oddly ‘humanoid’. I was well
aware of some of the recent sightings of unidentified flying
humanoids (U.F.H.s) witnessed and filmed in Mexico, and
considered the possibility (Ref. 5 & 6). I also considered
tethered ‘balloons’, and a released inflatable ‘parade
character’, but it didn’t actually look or behave like either.
After about ten seconds I drew Kris’ attention to it and we
observed it together for several more.
Knowing I was only a block and a half from our apartment, and
observing how slowly the unidentified object was moving (perhaps
walking speed), I decided to run back to retrieve our HI8 video
camera. However, as I said this to Kris, the UFO immediately
stopped and began to head away from our position in a North
Westerly direction (Fig. 2C-G). Determined not to lose the
opportunity I ran, while Kris continued to watch incase
something changed.
While on route to our apartment I sighted the UFO several times,
as it passed above and behind city buildings (Fig. 2C-E). Upon
arrival, I quickly noted its location, direction and speed
(which had remained constant), and ran inside. Moments later, I
was back outside with a HI8 camera (Fig. 2D). However, much to
my frustration, as I tried to videotape the object I discovered the
‘charged’ battery I thought I had was flat! Rushing back inside
and out again, I began videotaping the UFO as it slowly approached a
cross street, about 350 feet away (Fig. 2E). The first clip is
about 10 seconds long and includes an un-zoomed view of the
street and sky in which the UFO is flying, to a half zoomed view
of the mysterious object (Fig. 3).

Curiously, as it approached the cross street, and flew over it,
the UFO seemed to form a ‘cross’ almost in the sky (Fig. 3). It
was the only time during the entire sighting that I saw it do
this. Seconds later, what had looked like outstretched ‘arms’,
or appendages of some kind, were now down in a half resting
position (Fig. 4).

The UFO remained in this configuration, with some subtle
movements, for the remainder of the sighting (Fig. 5, & 6). The
second video clip I shot includes Fig. 4, 5, and 6, and is about
65 seconds long, and also includes un-zoomed to half zoomed
views of the object (Fig. 2E-G, & 7).

From this point on, I had great difficulty videotaping the UFO,
beyond recording
an additional ten seconds. The main problem was I couldn’t keep
the camera still enough, beyond half zoom without a tripod, for
a steady clear shot, even leaning against a parked car. Also,
the UFO was very hard to re-spot, and keep track of, under the
prevailing weather and lighting conditions, once I had lost it
on the camera’s LCD screen. It was overcast and gray, but still
very bright (without sunglasses), with dense off shore mist and
low clouds. Combined, these factors made a full zoom on the UFO
pointless, and a half zoom increasingly difficult.
As I struggled with the camera the unidentified aerial object
was slowly but steadily moving away. Realizing I would soon lose
it behind buildings and trees, I decided to get above them by
accessing the rooftop of an adjacent building (Fig. 2D). Knowing
this would give me an unobstructed view of the sky, and a wall
to balance the camera on for a steady shot at full zoom, I
quickly climbed three flights of stairs. However, once on top of
the building, I couldn’t find the UFO in the sky. I tried to
mentally ‘triangulate’ its last location, and looked all around,
but to no avail. Frustrated, and needing to make a decision
fast, I decided to try to find the UFO again from the
street. Rushing down three flights of stairs I quickly estimated
where I last saw it
(Fig. 2G), and ran to that spot (Fig. 2H).
Kris in the meantime was slowly making her way back to our
apartment with the dog.
She had remained close to the initial sighting location and
watched the UFO for several minutes. Noting it was going to
disappear behind buildings, she began to return, losing it and
spotting it several times on route as it slowly headed away
(Fig. 2C-G), and out of view (Fig. 2F).
I last sighted the UFO heading North North East into low clouds
and bright gray morning haze (Fig. 2I). I tried to videotape it, but
couldn’t ready the camera in time. As it passed behind a distant
rooftop I ran on several blocks hoping to catch up with it, and
videotape it from a cross street, where I could have the widest and
least obstructed view of the sky, but I didn’t see it again
after that.
Duration of Sighting: Approximately 15 minutes.
UFOs Estimated Size, Distance, & Altitude from Observer/s:
About 7-8 feet tall, 3-4 feet wide and maybe a foot thick; three
and a half to four city block widths away when first spotted,
and one and a half block widths away when videotaped; and maybe
7-800 feet off the ground.
Type of Observation: Ground to air, naked eye (aided by a
HI8 video camera with a 32X optical zoom lens, and a 360X
digital zoom capacity).
Length of Videotape Footage: Approximately 5 minutes.
Further Observations
On December 1st 2004 I called the local FAA (Federal
Aviation Administration) Flights Standards District Office and
spoke to a duty officer who informed me that
no unusual air traffic was reported, or logged, above
North West Santa Monica on Saturday morning November 27th
2004, including any escaped or released low flying inflatable
objects, such as large parade characters, or tethered balloons.
Similar Sightings Witnessed and Videotaped in Mexico
During the early hours of January 16th 2004, officer
Leonardo Samaniego, a policeman from Guadalupe, N.L. Mexico, was
making a routine patrol around Colonia Valles de la Silla, when
he encountered and was attacked by what he described as a flying
“witch”, ‘”all dressed in black with cloak and cape”’. An in-depth report, entitled ‘Mexican Policeman Attacked By a
Flying Humanoid Entity’, by Santiago Yturria, details the
policeman’s dramatic and disturbing encounter, and includes
still images from footage shot of an identical looking entity
videotaped flying above the same area at 3pm the day before the
attack (Fig. 8 & Ref. 5).

‘This flying entity was witnessed by several neighbors of that
area including three policemen that saw this strange dark entity
flying low over the place. People were afraid of this being that
they described as a ‘demon’ or witch and was seen for three days
flying around.’ Santiago Yturria
Kris and I first met Santiago Yturria at the 13th
International UFO Congress Convention in Laughlin Nevada on
February 9th 2004. On March 12th we read
his report, posted on the Jeff Rense website, about the Leonardo
Samaniego case (Ref. 5). Synchronously, on the same day another
flying humanoid, or ‘hombrecito’ (‘little man’), was
videotaped near ‘Hill of the Chiquihuite’, a reputed UFO ‘hotspot’
in the State of Puebla, Mexico (Ref. 6).
On August 17th Santiago gave a stunning video
presentation to LA MUFON (which Kris and I attended), when he
showed different pieces of daytime footage, recorded by multiple
individuals, of unidentified flying humanoids videotaped in Mexico
in 2004, including the entity observed above Colonia Valles de
la Silla (Fig. 8 and 8b).
In each case that Santiago presented, the unidentified flying
humanoid (UFH) appeared to fly without any obvious means, and
was ‘covered’ by a flexible dark gray coloured ‘suit’, or
coverall, or ‘cape’. The same was true of the unknown later
witnessed and videotaped above Santa Monica (except it was taller).
Another similarity between the sightings was their humanoid
‘form’, and how it appeared in ‘shadow’, particularly around the
area of the ‘feet’, ‘arms’, and ‘head’ (Fig. 3-6 & 8).
Most of the time the Santa Monica unknown looked very humanoid
in shape.
There were times though when it was very difficult to identify
what it was because it changed shape. Apart from moving in a
particular direction it also moved on its own vertical axis,
like similar examples videotaped in Mexico. Leaning, bending,
twisting, and extending actions all affected its appearance,
making it hard to tell if it was a flying entity, an aerial
‘device’, or both (Fig. 9)?

Trying to make sense of what I was looking at, at the time, I
wondered if the UFO was an entity ‘wearing’, or ‘sitting’ on,
some sort of ‘cloak’ covered flying device (Fig. 9 & 10). It
seemed ‘biological’ and ‘technological’, explaining why perhaps
its form looked ‘oddly’ humanoid. I tried briefly to
‘communicate’ with it telepathically,
but without success.

While watching the various clips in Santiago’s presentation, I
faintly recalled something I read many years ago about flying
humanoid sightings in Mexico. Doing a little research, I blew
the dust off a book that has been in my reference collection for
25 years, entitled ‘Gods and Spacemen in the Ancient West’
by W. Raymond Drake. It’s a very engaging read, and in it I
found several possible historic references to what has been seen
and videotaped in Mexico of late (Fig. 11 & Ref. 7).
Perhaps the flying humanoid that attacked the police officer
was, or is related to,
‘an Ikal, a three feet tall, hairy black humanoid
which was believed to be a humanoid from another world, often
flying with some rocket propulsion attached to its back. Mr.
Gordon Creighton (the late), Fellow of the Royal Anthropological
Institute and a world-renowned authority on UFO phenomena, who
has lived in Mexico, comments that among the Tzotzils, neighbors
of the Tzeltals, the Ikal is the commonest form of the God of
Death who flies through the air and steals women…’ ‘During the
past twenty years (1940s-1960s) numerous incidents have been
reported concerning luminous spheres from which black dwarf-like
creatures have emerged and attacked people, often with a
paralyzing dazzling light.’ Drake continues, ‘The Aztecs
believed the night was full of fantastic monsters, including ‘dwarfish
women with floating hair’, and adds, ‘Did Ikals menace the
Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas?’ (Ref. 7)
‘Montezuma is said to have patrolled the roof of his palace
every night, scanning the skies fearful of hostile influences
from the air – fears well-founded, for the belief in aerial
demons kidnapping people persists in Mexico to this day.’
(Ref. 7)
This was published in 1974! Thirty years later a young policeman
from Guadalupe would find out how frightening such an
encounter could be (Ref. 5).
Not all non-human ‘humanoids’ darkly caped are necessarily
negative however.
One was renowned and revered as a ‘God’ for his fairness and
intellect. Drake writes, ‘the peoples of Central and South
America treasured memories of a Fair God who had taught their
ancestors all the arts of civilization then left them, warning
that one day he would return in a One Reed Year bringing a time
of tribulation.’ (Ref. 7) The ‘Fair God’ was named
Quetzalcoatl, and the actual date of his return,
predicted by the Maya, was July 11th 1991! (Ref. 1-4)
Drake adds, ‘The idealism of Quetzalcoatl, preaching universal
love and beauty, the worship of a benevolent Heavenly Father
honoured by gifts and flowers, was acclaimed by the Toltecs and
Nahuas.’ (Ref. 3) He also adds ‘The Aztec priests divined that
the God would be white-skinned with a black beard, and
dressed in black,…’ (Ref. 7)
Was it an Ikal, Quetzalcoatl, or something else that appeared
above Santa Monica?
I don’t know. I didn’t sense anything negative at the time.
Further Similarities and Synchronicities
October 18th 1999, Kris and I witnessed and videotaped an
equally strange UFO from almost the same spot where I videotaped the
UFH in 2004, and there were other similarities too (Fig. 12 &
Ref. 8). Both were observed and videotaped in the same area of sky.
They were very unusual to look at, and hard to identify, and
were new UFO types in my experience. Neither produced any
obvious contrail, energy field effect, or sound, and occurred
during the morning hours while out walking the family dog. They
were also videotaped and ‘framed’ against opposite sides of the same
palm tree! (Fig. 12 & 13)

‘zoomed’ images,

UFO Videotaped Over Santa
Monica (Ref. 8).
The unknown sighted above Santa Monica in 2004 at all times
appeared to fly upright, and one of the last moments I was able
to videotape it was just before it passed behind the head of the
nearest palm (Fig. 2G, 7 - un-zoomed, & 13 - at half zoom). At
half zoom, it looks almost identical to the flying entity videotaped
near Puebla, on March 12th 2004. To view images of
the UFH, videotaped by Arturo Lopez Lopez ('El Burro'), at
approximately 6: 26pm, from the roof of his house, visit:
‘Hombrecito Volador’
- Spanish for ‘Little Flying Man’
(Ref. 6).
A ‘Fifth Kind’ Encounter
There were several reasons to consider the Santa Monica UFH sighting was a psychointeractive encounter and possibly even a ‘Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind’ or ‘CE5’, which in my experience is a human initiated encounter with any form of ‘Extraterrestrial’ Intelligence, related phenomena and/or technology.
Approximately twelve hours before the UFH sighting, while taking Bessie for a last late walk, I had asked the ‘Infinite Intelligence of God’ (Ref.9) for an Extraterrestrial ‘sign of support’. I rarely did this for myself, having learned in my early teens that the more I asked for an encounter (i.e.: for personal and/or emotional reasons), the less it happened. I realized then that despite being an ETI ‘contactee’ it wasn’t to be so easy, or taken lightly. A few years later I would begin to conduct synchronized ‘Earth Healing’ and ‘World Peace’ meditations, and to ask for others, and most of the time receive a visual ‘response’. Sometimes this would occur immediately, sometimes minutes, hours or occasionally days later. Late evening on November 26th 2004 I asked for Kris and I..
Kris hadn’t witnessed anything Extraterrestrial directly since our encountering two ETI aerial objects at close range from a nonmanmade Crop Circle formation near West Kennett on July 31st 2000 http://www.cropcircleanswers.com/sightings_pic4.htm. The last ETI aerial object I had experienced and videotaped while conducting a solo CE5 'initiative' was an ETI 'response' upon arrival at Magog Down, near Wandlebury Ring in Cambridgeshire on July 15th 2003 (report to follow). We had however observed multiple ETI aerial objects inderectly, including more than half a dozen UFH's videotaped above Mexico, during Santiago Yturria's memorable video presentation to LA MUFON.
Apart from asking an infinitely aware ‘Infinite Intelligence’ to relay my request for an ETI encounter I didn’t mentally visualize or ‘project’ anything, or inwardly or outwardly ask for a particular sign, or specify when and/or where for a sign to take place, just something positive, supportive, and soon.
The next indication to suggest the sighting was an interactive
event occurred when
I expressed to Kris my intention to try to videotape the UFO, and it
immediately stopped, and started flying in a new direction, away
from where we were, and myself without a camera (Fig. 2A).
Instead of continuing towards us (Fig. 1 & 2A), it flew to a new
location that made it visible from our apartment, and
significantly closer to myself with a camera (Fig. 2E). I didn’t
realize it then, thinking the UFO was simply leaving the area,
but maybe it was reading my intentions, and ‘assisting’ me?
Despite flying away (much to my frustration at the time trying
to record it), and no telepathic exchange (I asked it mentally
to stop), it did, by its slow speed and direction, actually give
me a fair chance to videotape it (albeit ‘on the run’), by
‘mirroring’ my movements (Fig. 2).
Another point to consider as possibly ‘interactive’ was a brief
moment when the unknown approached a cross street below it, and
in front of me, and extended what appeared to be its ‘arms’
(Fig. 3). I had asked for a sign. Was this it?
‘As Above, So Below.’

Postscript Update:
November 27th 2005 UFO Sighting
On November 27th 2005, exactly one year after our
Unidentified Flying Humanoid encounter above Santa Monica, Kris
and I held a short sky watch on top of a
building in our neighborhood to see if there might be another
sighting. With a video camera at hand we patiently watched the
sky from around 9:30am to about 11am. At approximately 10am
(fifteen minutes before the UFH sighting of 2004), after
repeatedly sensing to look straight up, I looked up and spotted
directly overhead,
in clear blue sky and at a very high altitude, a brilliant
‘star’ like (‘spherical’) point of light moving rapidly in a
straight line.
Producing no contrail the UFO sped across the sky heading
North East to South West, and out to sea (like the unidentified
flying ‘boomerang’ of 1999). Drawing Kris’ attention to it, I
quickly activated our video camera and tried to film it.
However, like the UFH sighting of the previous year the UFO
proved to be very difficult to film. Its small size (to the
naked eye), great speed, high altitude, and lack of contrail
made it almost impossible to find with the camera and film, and
I was only able to record it on two frames, and out of focus.
Visible for approximately thirty seconds the UFO sighting was
very brief. However, it lasted long enough to observe that it
produced no contrail as it streaked through the sky, unlike
every other type of aircraft we observed flying at very high
altitude, that all generated very noticeable white contrails
behind them.
