The 1973 UFO Humanoid Wave

In the fall of 1973, the United States experienced one of its largest UFO waves. Unlike many flaps that involve only lights in the sky, the 1973 wave featured numerous reports of beings associated with the craft, making it unusual in UFO history.

The Wave

Beginning in October 1973, UFO reports increased dramatically across the country. Reports came from every state, from witnesses of all backgrounds. The sheer volume overwhelmed official reporting channels.

The Beings

What made 1973 unique was the number of entity reports. Witnesses described seeing occupants of landed craft, beings approaching witnesses, and in several cases, encounters that suggested abduction.

Notable Cases

Pascagoula, Mississippi, on October 11 saw two fishermen report being abducted by robotic beings. In Falkville, Alabama, Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw photographed a being in a metallic suit. Multiple witnesses in Ohio reported robots emerging from craft.

Patterns

The beings were described in various forms: robotic, humanoid, large-eyed, and traditionally “alien.” The diversity of descriptions puzzled researchers who expected more consistency if the phenomenon were objective.

Assessment

The 1973 wave remains one of the most intense periods of UFO activity in American history. The number of humanoid encounters, documented across the country by independent witnesses, raised questions that have never been satisfactorily answered.
