A 1959 ufology catalogue by a Cuban ufologist and a 1979 ufological book by a Cuban author indicates that Dr. Francisco Jover Jiménez, a historian from the city of Remedios, some time in 1947, was sent by the local townhall to examine a young lady from the Dolores neighbourhood.
The young lady was extremely nervous, she complained that while doing laundry, she saw a large light coming toward her, and land in total silence at a short distance of her.
It was described as an object shaped "like two large plates, when used one to cover the other."
A two meters tall man wearing a bright white suit with a light on his forehead emerged from the object and approached her. With the fingers of one hand extended toward her, he pointed toward the ground and asked or shouted: "Terra, Terra."
The young lady said she fainted to the ground and after regaining her senses, both the strange object and the being had vanished.

1947: According to information provided by Dr. Francisco Jover Jiménez, a historian from the city of Remedios, "I was sent for by the local authorities in the City Hall in order to examine a young lady from the Dolores neighborhood. The young lady was extremely nervous after complaining of what had befallen her only a short distance away from where she was doing laundry. Engaged in her tasks, she claims having seen a large light coming toward her, issuing from an object shaped like "two large plates, when use one to cover the other." The object, according to the young lady, landed without making any noise whatsoever. A normal sized man, standing some two meters tall and wearing a bright white suit with a light on his forehead, emerged from the object and approached her. With the fingers of one hand extended toward her, he pointed toward the ground and asked: "Terra? Terra?". The young lady says she fainted to the ground and after regaining her senses, noticed that both the strange object and the being had vanished. |

b. Selon des informations fournies par le Dr. Francisco Jover Jiménez, historien de la ville de Remedios, "les autorités locales de la mairie m'ont envoyé pour examiner une jeune fille du quartier de Dolores. Cette jeune femme était extrêmement nerveuse après s'être plainte de ce qui lui était arrivée à une courte distance de son travail de blanchisserie, elle affirme avoir vu une grande lumière venir vers elle, sortant d'un objet en forme de "deux grandes assiettes, lorsqu'on en utilise l'une pour couvrir l'autre." L'objet, selon la jeune femme, a atterri sans faire de bruit. Un homme de taille normale, mesurant environ deux mètres de haut et portant une tenue blanche éclatant avec une lumière sur le front, a émergé de l'objet et s'est approché, avec les doigts d'une main pointé vers elle, il a pointé un doigt vers le sol et a demandé: "Terra? Terra?". La jeune femme dit qu'elle s'est évanouie et qu'après avoir repris ses esprits, elle a remarqué que l'objet étrange et l'être avaient disparu. had dispaeared. |

1947 PORTO RICO, Remedios (backdated affair?) According to data offered by the local historian, Dr. Francisco Jover Jiménez, "I was asked to go to the town hall to find local authorities to recognize Dolores, a young girl from the neighborhood. She was extremely nervous about what had happened not far away while she was washing clothes. She says that she saw a light coming toward her; the light was that of an apparatus in the form of two large trays placed one above the other. The girl says that the craft landed without making any noise and that then a man of normal size of about 2 meters high (sic) wearing a very white and shiny garment, and wearing a kind of lamp on the forehead. This being approached her and making signs with the fingers of the hand, he showed the ground asking "¿Terra? ¿Terra?" The girl said that she fell to the ground unconscious and that she did not recover until the strange device and the being had disappeared.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:
Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Dolores, Remedios, Cuba, on summer 1947, at an unknown time a woman had to be treated for nervous shock as she reported that while doing some laundry outside her home, she saw a large bright object shaped like two bowls put together land silently and a man about 2 meters tall emerged from the object.
The man wore a shiny white outfit and some type of luminous headgear, he quickly approached the witness and pointing at her and at the ground he yelled something that sounded to her like 'Terra" "Terra"! The witness fainted at this point and when she came to booth the man and the object were gone.
Other independent witnesses thought there had been a "crash" of some sort and remembered that US and Cuban military forces had cordoned off an area and had called for heavy equipment and trucks to come in. Something of an unknown nature was taken from the site.
Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Dr Sergio Cervera and personal interviews.
He comments that it appears to be a somewhat confused event, with other sources describing short, large headed humanoids. But above description is the most commonly known and accepted and that the possibility of a crash cannot be ruled out.

Summer 1947. DOLORES near REMEDIOS (CUBA) A young woman was washing clothes when she saw a bright light approach. It came from an object like one plate inverted over another, which landed silently. From it emerged a man about 2m tall, wearing a bright white suit and with a lamp on his forehead. He approached the woman, pointed to the ground and said something like “Terra Terra”. The woman fainted and when she recovered the object and being had disappeared. She was so shaken by the incident she needed medical treatment. Patrick Gross [*] citing Luis Gonzalez citing Robiou 1979 p473 + Rosales citing Dr Sergio Cervera. |
[*] Peter rogerson gives no link to my web page on this case, and chose to ignore my comments.
Unfortunately the high strangeness account cannot shine by its credibility, since the witness is unique, the account of third party at least, and it apparently surfaced 30 years after having occurred. In 1947, there was of course no notion of ufology investigation to shed light on such reports.
