1914, SMOLENSK AREA, RUSSIA, DEMYAN AND NASTYA:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Andrey Alexandrovich Zabava, who claims several alien encounters himself, apparently told that in the region of Smolensk, Russia, in 1914, at an unknown hour, one Nastya and her husband Demyan, logger, living in a cabin in a remote area of the forest, saw what appeared to be a strange fog with sharp edges descend from the sky to a nearby meadow where their daughter Anastasiya and their son Herman were playing.

Moments later the fog suddenly shot upwards and disappeared into the sky.

Despite their prayers, they never found the children, and thought they have been abducted by "goblins of the woods". In 1918, the family had moved to the Krasnogvardeyskiy area in Crimea.

Although no entity is reported here, the case appeared in a catalog of "encounters with humanoids" and in a UFO book as a "close encounter of the 4th kind".

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates that in the Smolenskaya region, Russia, in 1914 at an unknown time, "A local family living in a cabin in a remote area of the woods in this region of central Russia experienced a frightening encounter. They saw what appeared to be a strange fog or mist with sharp edges descend from the sky into a nearby meadow. Both witnesses, a woman named Nastya and her husband Demyan (a forester who worked in the area) saw the strange fog descend in the same area where their two children a girl named Anastasiya and a boy named Herman had been playing. Moments later the fog suddenly zoomed up and vanished into the sky (the fog was apparently camouflaging some type of object). The two children were now nowhere to be seen, and despite their desperate attempts they were never able to find them, they had dissolved into thin air. Being Christian Orthodox they began to pray, but later decided that their children had been taken away by “wood goblins”. In 1918 the family moved to the Krasnogvardeyskiy area Crimea Ukraine.

The source is indicated as "Andrew Zabava (Janefarlz) Ukraine".

[Ref. js1:] JEAN SIDER:

The author indicates that in 1914, in the area of Smolenskaya, Russia, there was a CE4 case.

A family who lived in a hut in a very wooded isolated area, in the heart of this central part of Russia, was suddenly confronted to a really terrible event.

They distinguished what seemed to be to them "a strange fog", with well defined edges, which came down from the sky in a close meadow. The two witnesses, a woman named Nastya, and her husband Demyan, logger who worked in the area, noted that this odd fog went down at the place where their two children played, a girl named Anastasya and her brother Herman.

A few moments later, the "fog" suddenly rose in the air and was lost in the sky. The two children were not there any more, and in spite of despaired research, they were not found.

The parents, of orthodox persuasion, started to pray in the hope that their children are returned to them, but in vain. They ended up being resigned and being convinced that their two children had been abducted by "the goblins of the woods".

In 1918, the family moved in the sector of Krasnogvardeyskiy, Crimea, in Ukraine.

The author says the source is "Rosales, Andrew Zabava, Janefarlz, Ukraine", and comments that if the testimony is authentic, it perfectly demonstrates that these entities perform definitive abductions.

Points to consider:

"Andrew Zabava" given as the source is Andrey Alexandrovich Zabava, saying he himself witnessed a close encounter of the 3rdkind with a conversation with "alien" described as "like an old woman" in 2004 while searching an "alien underground base" and UFOs he thinks exist in the Ayu-Dug mountain in Crimea.

Also says he said "Hi" to "aliens" he met in a cave in 2005.
