Mass appearance of the aliens in the form of "Michelin men" were observed around the world

Little green or gray men with huge black eyes – isn't that such associations arise at the mention of the word "aliens"? However, there is another category of aliens, the mass appearance which was observed in remote areas of Spain, Argentina and the USA in the 70-ies of the last century. Humanoid creatures in spiky inflated costumes, which witnesses compared with Bibendum, the mascot of the French tire manufacturer "Michelin", associated with several incidents of UFOs, are still poorly understood.

One such case occurred on Sunday, March 14, 1976 in the province of castellón in Eastern Spain. Vicente Corell and his wife Carmen came back from the recruiting office CIR-7, where he accompanied his son for military service in the marine corps, through the small roads in his hometown of Almenara. Around 10:00 p.m. couple are faced with a strange phenomenon in the night sky to the left of their "Renault 4L" appeared brilliant white oval object. Believing that it is car headlights on a nearby hill, they continued to move on the road, but did not go a few dozen meters, as began to happen something strange. Uptight wife in the headlights of his car he saw rising above the earth "luminous tornado" and was amazed when I saw that it was a man.

"I think he had two legs, - said Vicente Corell, the distinguished Spanish investigator Juan josé benítez, who investigated the case, because he reminded me of the human figure. But since the legs were located close to each other, it was more like a convoy than a man. He was tall, handsome and dressed in a one piece jumpsuit..."

The strange creature stood on the ground, like a soldier at attention and stared straight in the side of the car. The initial interest of couple changed to fear as the lights to their Renault suddenly went out, leaving them in pitch darkness. Soon the smell of burning wires filled the passenger compartment, and Corell was forced to stop. When this happened, the object disappeared into the darkness. Car's electrical system burned out, and Vicente and Carmen Corell could only guess what happened.

According to the researcher Benitez, Carmen Corell much better remember everything that happens, than her husband, and added interesting detail: suit for high figure was made from a "narrow and slightly inflated strips" from the neck to the waist. She compared the object with a Bibendum, the world famous symbol of the company "Michelin".

Ufologist Manuel Odidi, reviewing the case, reported that the notorious "Michelin" in addition, he had a physical body, in addition to the radiated energy. The fact that the figure grew in size as it approaches the car, says that its electrostatic charge, ionizing the air is increased to the saturation point until, until it was producing light. In addition, the figure consisting of negative ions, do not touch the ground. Therefore, we can assume that the car could come into contact with the electrostatic charge of the object, resulting in a humanoid lost his brightness due to the fact that his potential has decreased to a value insufficient to ionize, and the car became negatively charged, which led to a short circuit.

Although the comparison with a man"Michelin" will cause some people a skeptical smile, but on the Spanish Peninsula is being seen more than once. In the summer of 1960, Miguel Timermans, a school teacher from Prado del Rey in southern Spain, went on a weekend on his motorcycle "Lambretta" in Jerez. It was a clear morning and the visibility was unlimited. When he climbed the hill between Prado del Rey and Arcos, on the roadside suddenly appeared a huge figure, dressed in a "swollen" with a red jumpsuit. The giant creature slowly moved towards him at the edge of the highway. To the shock of the teacher was met by such an overwhelming sense of fear that he dropped his motorcycle in the middle of the highway.

Remembering this event, Timmermans noted that the substantive suit was made up of "concentric rings", who also reminded him of the man "Michelin". Incredible figure swung forward, took a few steps. And then the teacher saw that the giant appeared, the second being the growth of a little over one meter, in exactly the same suit, but one of his legs covered something similar to a glossy black Shoe. He was moving very awkwardly, as if limping. The mysterious shape crossed the path Timerman diagonally and disappeared from sight in 30 seconds. Lifting your motorcycle, the teacher went to the place where he saw the creature one last time, but found no traces. This remarkable case was published in the journal "Stendek".

These strange "Michelin-man", apparently, was not limited to roadside walks in the Iberian Peninsula. Figures in pressurized suits seen in the North American state of Kansas in 1976, and in Argentina in 1972. The last case associated with them, became the most famous due to the fact that his hero Ventura Maceiras, seventy-year-old night watchman from Argentina, very quickly grew new teeth and even increased intelligence.

There must have been other incidents, but because of language barriers, they remained unknown to the community of UFO researchers.

Explorer George. Cresson received the certificate of the inhabitant of the French city of Dinan by the name Droguet that one evening in may 1955 he returned home from the cinema and was struck by a beam of blue-green light emanating from the strange object, floating above the ground. Near the object were two beings, dressed in large metal suits, "like a man "Michelin". On their heads were large helmets, and both figures are wearing gloves was busy, as it seemed to the bystanders, collecting soil samples. One of the creatures stopped, looked into the "porthole" standing beside the ship, and the frightened man realized that inside are the same inhabitants. He said he then felt as familiar to many witnesses of close encounters of the third kind. He desperately wanted to flee, but an unknown force kept him in one place, and he realized that the humanoids were aware of his presence. He then thought that they can instead of collecting soil samples even pick up one or two people.

Fortunately, his fears were dispelled when the "Michelin men" returned to his ship and carefully went up the stairs. People were intrigued by the movements of these, probably, space visitors, which reminded him of the behaviour of the divers on the ocean floor, and their "shoes" with metal rings. The ship began to rotate at high speed and slowly rose into the air. Only then Monsieur Droguet was able to move, as if freed from invisible forces. Terrified he locked himself in his house and could not recover. People were silent about this event in fifteen years and told him about it only when asked to do so by authorities. Article about this case came out in 1970 in the June issue of the prestigious French publication "Lumieres dans la Nuit".

"People Michelin" will appear again after a few years in another remote location, off the Eastern coast of Africa on the island of Madagascar. In 1968 farmer, collecting grass for their animals, faced with a shiny oval object with a transparent windscreen, "like a windshield "Peugeot 404". Inside the object the farmer saw two small figures, "dressed in costume, as in advertising Michelin. Realizing that they are being watched, the figure decided to leave, and the farmer was blinded by a white flash of light with a gust of heated air. Oval UFO just disappeared, he never soared to the skies to distant stars, and it just disappeared. The farmer, a man of impeccable reputation will not hesitate to tell your story to the local police, who immediately went to the scene and found traces of radiation on earth and, more alarmingly, on the clothes of a farmer.

In Madagascar, there was another intriguing case which though was not associated with shapes in the inflated coveralls, but fit the description of such events.

In a Sunny day, in December 1976, the division of the 23 soldiers of the French foreign Legion, participating in reconnaissance operations in the desert terrain of the island, saw a glowing object a smooth oval form, unmarked, with "the color of new coins, shining in the sun", which quickly fell to the ground and caused a powerful shock wave. The soldiers were paralyzed, as well as Monsieur Droguet in 1955 and the unnamed teacher in 1960.

"We have all seen how the device landed and departed once more, but none of us noticed the loss of time, - said one of the Legionnaires, and added, - We are freed from the paralysis after the object flew away. We were in one place all the time, but when we checked the clock, it turned out that we did not notice how it took three hours."

This had serious consequences for the group, which could not communicate by radio with the base, and the legionaries were forced to reach it on foot.

Brazil, which is a hotspot of UFO, too, has a story connected with these strange humanoids, which occurred on 30 August 1962 in the community of Itabirito. The three friends walked out of a local theater around midnight, and when they reached the corner of the street, their lively conversation was interrupted by the sharp whistling sound. They looked up and saw in the night sky the object hovering at an altitude of about 30 meters above the eucalyptus grove, which was located from them at a distance of 50 metres.

According to Luiz Gonzaga, one of the three friends, they went a small creature with a strong resemblance to "a figure from tire factory "Michelin". Eyewitnesses saw thick figure with a large head, short arms and legs, dressed in a suit made of material resembling thin skin, rhythmically walking to him.

Two young men ran away screaming in terror, and at the corner were only Luis Gonzaga, who could not move. A minute later, this state passed, with a squat fat man disappeared, and the object in the sky became so bright that it illuminated the entire area. The light from the UFO diminished, and Gonzaga was able to move again. After this incident, the eyewitness to the entire month suffered from headaches.
