OCTOBER 1915, LINAKJULA, PAARNUMA, ESTONIA, TIJU VEZIK:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Yuri Linna, of Estonia, and Russian ufologist Mikhail Gershtein, apparently reported that in Linakjula in Kihnu Island, Estonia, in October 1915 in the evening lit only by the moon, Tiju Vezik of the Nada Estate went to the post office to send mail.

As she approached the opening of the gate surrounded by weeds of Koidu Estate to go on the road, she suddenly noticed three strange entities near some houses.

They are described as apparently male, of colossal size, and wearing dark clothing. They moved in a line like soldiers without noise, quickly and parallel to the road, near two women who seemed unconscious of their presence. They used to stop and lean briefly, then continue their strange procession.

They crossed a field which was about 100 meters away and disappeared under the pine trees.

Amazed, Tiju Vezik noted that their head had touched the lower branches of the pine trees, which gave them a height of about 4 meters.

Fearing the entities may come back, she went back home.

Narratives:

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates that in Linakjula, Kihnu Island, Estonia (USSR) in October 1915 in the evening, "Tiju Vezik from nearby Nada Estate was on her way to the local post office in order to mail some correspondence. Only the moon lighted the plain. As she approached the opening of the fence surrounded by overgrown weeds at the Koidu Estate in order to go onto the road she suddenly noticed threes strange entities near some houses. These were apparently males of colossal height and in dark clothing. The three huge figures moved soundlessly and quickly under the moonlight parallel to the road near two women that seemed unawares of their presence. The three entities moved single file, like soldiers and at times would stop and briefly bend down and then continue on their strange procession. They crossed the field which was about 100 meters wide and disappeared under the pine trees. The stunned witness noticed that their heads touched the lower branches of the pine trees thus making their height about 4 meters. Fearing that the entities might return the frightened witness returned to her home."

Albert Rosales indicates as source "Yuri Linna, Estonia & Mikhail Gershtein, Saint Petersburg".

[Ref. js1:] JEAN SIDER:

The author states that in October 1915, in the evening, in Linakjula, Kihnu Island, Estonia, Ms. Yiju Vezik, of the domain Nada, went to the local post office to put mail in the mailbox. Only the moonlight illuminated the landscape. As she went to the road by a shortcut, she suddenly noticed three strange entities moving near several homes. They were apparently male beings of colossal stature all dressed in black suits. The three enormous silhouettes moved quickly and silently, clearly visible in the moonlight, parallel to the road near two women, who seemed unconscious of their presence. The three giants marched in single file, like soldiers, and at times they stopped and bowed briefly and then continued their strange procession. They crossed a field which is about one hundred meters wide and disappeared beneath the pines. The stunned witness realized that the heads of these creatures touched the lower branches of the pine trees, which showed that their size was about four meters. Fearing that they could come back, Mrs. Tiju Vezik quickly returned home.

Jean Sider indicates that the source is "Rosales, from Yuri Linna, Estonia; and Mikhai1 Gershtein, St. Petersburg."

He comments that the size it is "not inconsistent with the phenomenon" and that Marie-Thérèse de Brosses states that "Abductees witnesses describe aliens whose stature is between 6 m and 0.70 m (de Brosses, p. 128)."

Points to consider:

I cannot put forth a commonplace explanation of what is reported here.
