I saw three mantis beings in 1987 and if i live to be a thousand years old i will never forget that experience. I was so terrified but they spoke to me telepathically and reassured me that they were there to help me and they did. They kept apologizing for the way they looked to me and although its a long story, they helped me and didn’t hurt me at all. I didnt tell anyone for over 30 years and never ever heard of an alien looking like a praying mantis until 30 years after my encounter and i was so shocked to see it in a picture. Im very serious about this. It was real and I’m not one to make up things like this. Ive only told one person in 36 years. And it wasn’t until 6 years ago that i first mentioned it. The one and only time until now.

I also saw a praying mantis type being in 1962 in my teenage sister's bedroom when I was 5 years old. My bedroom was opposite and it was around midnight when I awoke and looked into my sister's room and saw this 'face" near her bed starring at me. It was dark but enough street light through the window to see the face. It had a triangular head with 2 big slanted eyes. The skin was green and 'mottled' like a frog. I got the impression it was not happy that I noticed its presence. I was not afraid and remember staring back at it and thinking 'go away' and when I looked down then back up and it was gone. I have never mentioned this to anyone before in my life.

I know that it sounds crazy, but this is true. I saw mantis beings when I was a child. I’ll never forget it.

I remember meditating a while back and it was around time that I had introduced myself to chanting “om”, but I realized I had deeper and intense meditation if I chanted in a hallway in my home. I feel like the hallway resonated with my om so much it vibrates the walls of the hallway. That paired with meditation I remember getting a brief flash of almost an x ray looking image of a vivid mantis in my mind. I didn’t see the body but the face as if it was close to mine, and I saw pores blemishes and EVERYTHING. I’ll never forget it

I think one of the hardest thing humans are going to have to contend with, after full contact is made, is how different other species of aliens look. Especially ones that look like insects or lizards. Humans are hyper critical of each other as it is, I can’t imagine how this will unfold

I believe her account 100%. I was deep in the Oregon wilderness 23 years ago, I witnessed my friends abduction/eventual return. I saw a deer staring at me with huge piercing eyes while a schrilling sound punched through me, then absolute silence. My friend reappeared in the middle of the meadow. The snow was about 2 feet and there were no footprints coming or going. He was gone for at least an hour. We both had nose bleeds and headaches for some time after.

I’m in Oxnard. I remember dancing blue lights over my window curtains and telling my mom “I know the difference between a dream and real life.”

I’m shocked that History channel FINALLY picked up a real experiencer’s story. Dang! I’m impressed with History for the first time in decades.
Linda Moulton Howe is an impeccable investigative reporter.
Thank you, History, for finally covering the important topic of alien abductions. *Millions* of people have been reporting these occurrences for generations. About time someone in the mainstream listened.
A very special thank you to Linda Porter for coming forward! God bless and keep you, always.
💞💫👏🥰💫💞

When I was young I used to see this shadow that was about 7ft tall. It used to stand in the corner of my room at night periodically. I used to just hide under the covers and pray it goes away. I'm pretty sure I was not dreaming.

[Hawken]

There's a lot of reports of these alien abductions all over the world and too common to write off.
Case like Betty & Barney Hill, Travis Walton, Kelly Cahill, The Allagash incident to name a few.
There stories are so similar to each other that having sleep paralysis is out of the question.
But a lot of people don't accept it because it's so bizarre to the human mind.

This is my experience as well...nailed it! I was abducted i was 5 yo. They left out the part where the mantis being locks eyes with you and communicates telepathically "your gonna be ok, its ok " over and over

[LeonardPC]

its weird how people just keep seeing aliens for years when I saw a ufo I literally told everyone like that same day lol

I was living with my grandmother until a couple months before I was seven. Today I’m almost 71. She later told me that from i was 3-4 years old I was sometimes talking about ‘another world’. The strange beings living there, and they moved around in frying pans with a pan on top. Frying pans and pans opened like a big mouth where the beings went in and out. She always told me, giggling, that I had an unusual imagination. When I was 6 I went to live with my parents. Tentatively. There I often woke up in the morning and asked my parents about some very strange words. It was foreign words that my parents had to look up in a book. They asked me where the words came from. ‘The old men during the night’. Then they sent me back to my grandmother. Nothing strange happened for many years - except that I knew things ‘by heart’. One morning in the late seventies my grandmother called me and told she during the night went up to drink a glass of water and looking out of the window she saw 5 ufo’s flying in strange patterns very quick. She didn’t know whom to tell it to, so she told me. She wanted to tell it to others, so she called her newspaper. They told her that 6 others had called them about it. It calmed her, now she wasn’t going crazy. In my later years I have seen ufo’s 3 times. Like in the ET movie I now is longing to go home. Which will happen this year, as I’m told having terminal bonecancer. Love from me to you.

The mantis aliens were described by the witnesses to the recent Las Vegas encounter. There is a photograph from that encounter that seems to show two mantis type beings standing beside each other, one a little taller than the other .

[cjk]

If I saw some praying mantis, 7 feet tall, I would be running down the street screaming in terror.

My friend a full grown adult who was victim of an abduction went through a hypno-therapy, the stuff he said were insane, I fear that he was touched & grouped (misspelling was intentional) by them & has developed a phobia of touch Haphephobia . Mind you he's a full grown man weight 90+ KG, he's 6'5. Now when I look into his eyes I see a hapless man, a broken man.

In 1974 I was 8 years old. I had a “dream/experience” that felt very real. I was in a cylinder shaped structure. It was dark gray…cold and damp. It looked like it was made of stone. It had a spiral stone stairs with a very bright light glowing from the top of it. I was standing at the bottom of the stairs. I was wearing the nightgown I was wearing when I went to bed that night. Bare feet. I was scared and confused about where I was who I was with and how I got there. I could feel the cold ground and I was shivering in the dream. There were 4 tall human size ant like creatures standing on their hind legs, telepathically coercing me to walk up the stairs. I don’t remember anything after that….except upon waking up, the face of what I thought looked like a mask with big black eyes and pointy chin (which now i know to be exactly what they call a gray alien) staring at me trying to read my mind. The very odd thing is, I woke up with my face down in my pillow and my arms perfectly straight down at my sides- straight like a board, as though I was placed like that….in a very unnatural position…and the covers were off but my nightgown was perfectly pulled down and in place. I woke up shaking and confused. It was still dark…it must have been between 2-4 am. It was the scariest and strangest thing/dream I had ever experienced. I remember it like it was yesterday… I never told anyone about it until recently…told my mother. I can tell you, there was no abuse to me as a child or in the household…It was a perfectly normal childhood on a typical late spring night.

I will never ever forget my experience with the mantis like beings. I'm a skeptical person. I don't believe things until I see and experience things first hand. I expect nobody to believe me but
I had an experience in sleep which was so different than anything I could ever imagine. I locked eyes with two tall Mantis like beings who were in my basement. They froze me, I couldn't feel fear, excitement or anything. In a flash I was projected out of my body and into this bewildering realm of golden energy and light. I had no body in this realm, no worldliness.. in the center there was this gigantic golden orb of energy pulsing and rotating, it was alive and moving rapidly. All around in this realm were these smaller blue orbs of energetic light, moving around, gathering in areas and zipping in and out of the giant golden orb like bees in a hive. Then boom I was back in my body, back to the earth realm. Knock knock knock. A man in a black suit was at my door, took me to the side of my cabin and made me detail every single thing which was projected into my head.

From the very first time I saw a praying mantis, I've always Imagined a version the size of a human or bigger, and its always given me the creeps. The Asian Hornet, the Praying Mantis, the giant centipede, and the Octupus were always alien-like creatures I felt were placed here, but not from here
