Not sure where to put historic stories but 1914 was an interesting year mostly for the outbreak of world war I.
But our friends the grey aliens also made an appearance.
In his book “Muukalaisia ja humanoideja” (Aliens and Humanoids), Finnish UFO researcher Tapani Kuningas recounted a case he learned about during a UFO seminar in Turku in 1972. An elderly man came up to him and told him a strange story he had experienced as a child. It was only many years later that the man realized that he had seen what later came to be called flying saucers and UFOs.
Aakseli Kuoppala was 10 years old in 1914 and he spent some of that summer on the farm with his Grandmother Maria Fält. It was a warm summer day and they were inside the cottage to eat lunch, when it started to get dark outside and it felt like a sudden storm was coming or that a solar eclipse had made the sky turn black. At the same time, there was a loud bang. Aakseli and Maria looked out the window and could see how a brightly shining wall came from the east that soon turned into a white-glowing sphere. It descended over the garden and when it reached the height of the window, it began to move towards them across the yard. The shining sphere slowly slid towards the window and then stopped a couple of meters (7 feet) away from them. They could now see how the sphere also seemed to be metallic and in the middle of it an oval window opened up.
Two beings now appeared in the opening, and only their upper bodies and heads could be seen. One of the humanoids stood in the middle of the opening and the other stood to the side, slightly behind but still fully visible. Aakseli perceived them as male beings, with unusually large heads in relation to the body, especially the one standing in the middle. The width of the shoulders, however, was proportional to the head. Aakseli thought the beings standing to the side was more dwarf-like and uglier than the being in the middle, in fact terribly ugly. The “man” in the middle looked quite old and his face was broad and angular, but his eyes looked friendly.
Aakseli was now afraid that the beings would jump out of the sphere and enter the kitchen, but his grandmother assured him that there was no danger and that they had only come to say something. A quick smile then appeared on the lips of the being in the middle and then it began to speak. Its lips and mouth made speech movements but Aakseli could not hear any sound. “Now it is talking, it is saying something!” Aakseli shouted eagerly. But at the same time as the boy said this, the being stopped talking and he disappeared further into the sphere at the same time as the oval window closed in front of him. When the sphere had closed, a loud roar was heard again and then a bright flash of light came. After this the sphere rose into the sky and quickly disappeared towards the west. The observation had only lasted a few minutes, but after this Aakseli felt very tired and went to bed. He fell asleep and did not wake up again until the evening.
It seemed as if his grandmother had predicted the event and knew that the beings were coming. She told Aakseli that the humnanoids were not angels who came from heaven but came from a distant place. They had come to Earth in a large “Sky ship” and the sphere they had flown down to the house with, was only used for short trips. She also explained that the beings had large heads because they were much more intelligent than us humans, but they were distantly related to us. They also lived much longer than us humans. Grandma also said that they had delivered important messages to her and foretold future events and she claimed that these humanoids wanted to protect humanity. It was obvious that Aakseli’s grandmother knew a lot about these beings and she had apparently had contact with them several times before. She called them the “Air people”.
