The amazing case of Orlando Jorge Ferraudi, Argentina 1956
The case of Orlando Jorge Ferraudi is perhaps little known compared to other cases but it does not let it be an extraordinary case with a wealth of details.
The investigations of the case were conducted by a team led by Héctor Antonio Picco in 1965.
Somewhere on the coast of Argentina, August 1956 Orlando Jorge Ferraudi sat on the beach just before midnight. He was preparing his fishing tackle and enjoying the quiet of the late night.
It was then that you heard something behind you a noise of someone walking towards you. He expected to see a homeless man who was frequenting the area and who he would occasionally give cigarettes. However, looking in the direction of the noise, he could see a tall, strange human being watching him.
Ferraudi would tell Picco that the being was at least two meters tall. Also, "his skin was very white and his eyes were very light." He had "very clean" hair, but no facial hair. He was also wearing "some kind of tight uniform."
The humanoid would speak directly to the witness’s head, telling him not to be afraid. He also told her that he wanted you to join him on a "long journey".
Using a "strange box" that would light up the area when it was opened, Ferraudi tracked the humanoid a little bit away from his fishing area. He noticed that the smart suit the humanoid was wearing had a hood on the back of his neck, but it did not contain “zippers or buttons.”
He soon figured out a "strange disc" heading toward the pair, sliding down the water. Stopped in front of them and a ramp extended forward. Another humanoid emerges from the ship, gesturing for Ferraudi to follow him.
Upon entering he noticed a young teenage girl. He could tell she was human, and not one of the strange visitors. The girl immediately turned her attention to him and said that humanoids "were good." Furthermore, you shouldn't be afraid. She introduced herself as Elena and informed Ferraudi that she was on board for a short time. He was home, he kept going, when he heard a noise outside. Thinking it was the family cat, she went out to get him, when out of nowhere a well lit "glass tube" came down and took her onto the ship.
They were soon informed telepathically that they would have to change clothes due to "strange elements and germs". Ferraudi noticed that a humanoid woman had entered the room and asked the young woman to follow her so that he could change.
Likewise, he was given a uniform to wear and, after claiming it was too tight for him, the humanoid urged him to persist. When he placed his legs inside a small hole in the tissue, the material began to expand to completely cover his body. He said that despite having nothing on his feet, he felt like he was wearing "a comfortable pair of shoes! "
His clothes would go inside a “television-like” box which then produced a thick, green smoke, probably to clear them from the items the humanoid had mentioned.
In no time, the ship would dive into the freezing waters of the Atlantic Ocean and travel underwater for some time. According to Ferraudi, his host informed him that it was to "avoid radars! "
They arrived at a short distance from Samborombón Bay, where the ship emerged from the water. It would slide over the ocean at an extremely low altitude. Arriving off the coast of Uruguay, the ship crossed the Atlantic into Africa. From here, according to Ferraudi, the record "rise" and entered outer space.
It would describe what the Earth looked like ("blue, huge, round, with white spots") before the images we know today. He would also describe the moon as "pale grey."
Some of the details of their encounter in space are of particular interest, as they seem to describe methods of UFO propulsion similar to those described later by Bob Lazar. Perhaps the most specific detail was when Ferraudi pointed out: "So 'they' told us: 'now we are going to design a force field that will pull us in as if we were inside a tube... '. And just like that, the Earth is as small as an orange! "
This almost perfectly describes the way Lazarus would claim ships from other worlds travel almost thirty years later.
After its off-planet experience, the ship returned to Earth and reentered the ocean. They were in the waters of the gulf of Mexico. In no time, they realized they were inside a giant underwater dome.
It was like nothing he or Elena had ever seen before. Ferraudi would later describe him as "a giant igloo". In addition, an entire city, with tall buildings and extensive activity, was contained in it. He could also see several disc-shaped ships, just like the one they were on. As if he understood his questions, the humanoid said in his mind: "It's a base to repair our ships!" "
As they drove by, the humanoid told them they would pass a "test". A tray of "strange eggs" was brought to them. There were ten all, five each. The "eggs" were different colors: red, yellow, brown, green and one color Ferraudi couldn't remember. They should eat and also drink a strange, clear and thick liquid. Ferraudi would remember that they were both in bad taste.
Then, each one was invited to lie down on a mackerel type mobile. A "U-shaped pillow" with egg colored lights around it was up.
Almost immediately, he and Elena were sound asleep. Waking up, though, things just got stranger. They could read each other’s minds, which as weird as it was, they found amusing.
The humanoid informed them that their tests were of great importance so that they could know the physical and mental state of the human race. They were also informed that each one was very healthy and that they even knew the date of death of each person.
Perhaps the most interesting thing, particularly in relation to some of UFO’s “spiritual” movements, was the claim that each one was told their pineal gland had been “reactivated”.
What the humanoid said next stuck in Ferraudi's mind, almost word for word.
"They will be useful to us in the future because this gland is the only legacy we have left here, because of the five races that inhabit this planet, none of them originates from Earth. They are just remnants of civilizations from other planets! "
He would go on to claim that Earth, in cosmic terms, was a "zoo planet". Also, previous genetic mutation and hybridization "destroyed" the original breed in its initial form. All that was left was the pineal gland, but even it wasn't "active". Due to the reactivation of that gland, they would experience new sensations. One of them would be a form of communication. According to the humanoid, "when we think about you, you will hear a buzzing in your head!" "
Other details offered by Ferraudi once again confirm future reports of people on board very similar ships. For example, he claims that the rooms were light, but there was no actual source of lighting. This is a detail that many repeat, often without realizing its apparent importance.
Ferraudi also alleged that other beings, dressed differently, wearing helmets and visors, worked in these stations.
Addressing the similarities to Bob Lazar and his UFO propulsion claims, Ferraudi would say the humanoid told him:
"We don't fly! We just glide through a force field! "Even more intriguing is the detail that this force field is due to the creation and control of "three energies"! And their ships can travel through space using "all three of them or just one of them! "
On a darker note, nuclear power has also been mentioned and more specifically the way humans use it as a weapon.
According to Ferraudi, the creatures demonstrated the use of "pure energy" in a floating object. A small bolt of lightning struck the object, destroying it on contact. If the human race "threatens stellar harmony", this "unfortunately" would be the fate of Earth.
While a detail seldom mentioned in UFO encounters, Ferraudi would also talk about "God" and interpretations of divinity. Humanoids would say that what humans imagine or perceive as "God" is a form of "absolute energy" to them.
In addition, Ferraudi allegedly received extensive medical information.
He explained the cause of cancer as “impaired functions of the non-conducting glands”. This "irrational formation of cells" that then travels in the blood seek the "weakest organ" and attack it, altering cell formation.
The details Ferraudi knew were not just ahead of its time, they were at a level that was simply beyond his mental medical capacity.
He doesn't know how, but he wakes up in the same spot where he was kidnapped, the whole experience lasted about 6 hours.
