Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable.
When it comes to aliens there are generally three kinds – the fuzzy ones that eat cats and thrive on prime-time TV, there’s the kind with the broom-helmets that occasionally show up to thwart Bugs Bunny, and there’s the super hot ones to which all of mankind happily hands over their planet. Like on V.
Add to that all inclusive list, if you will, the Nordics. Like the ones an off-duty police officer just reported encountering.
When people talk aliens they generally think of little gray fellows with enormous black eyes?and a chest-full of lubricated items destined for earthlings’ bum-bums. Those creatures certainly are real, as our poor uncle Albert’s scab-covered underwear drawer will surely attest, but they aren’t the topic-aliens of the day.
That’s because today we’re talking about the Nordics – those tall blond aliens from another galaxy that we assume got here in a big wooden spaceship powered by dozens of enslaved oarsmen. In this, our hour of need, we’ll let Wikipedia get you up to speed on these guys:
“Nordic aliens (Aryan aliens) is a name given to what are said to be a group of humanoid extraterrestrials. They are so named because they are said to resemble Nordic, Scandanavian, or Aryan racial images. Nordic aliens form a notable part of UFO/abduction belief and the contactee movement in European and Latin American nations, but are not commonly found in accounts from the US.”
The European nation where today’s account takes place is England. To set the stage, picture a lone policeman, off-duty and care free. He’s cruising through the countryside when he happens upon a crop circle. And in said crop circle he sees this (according to the Telegraph):
“The sergeant, who has not been named, was off-duty when he saw the figures standing in a field near Silbury Hill, and stopped his car to investigate. However, as he approached the ‘men’ ? all over 6ft tall with blond hair ? he heard “the sound of static electricity” and the trio ran away ”faster than any man he had ever seen”.
Andrew Russell, a crop circle researcher, summed up the Sergeant’s experience like this (Also from the Telegraph):
“[The Sergeant]?said: ”At first he thought they were forensic officers as they were dressed in white coveralls. He stopped his car and approached the field. ”The figures were all over 6ft and had blond hair. They seemed to be inspecting the crop. When he got to the edge of the field he heard what he believed to be a sound not dissimilar to static electricity. ”This crackling noise seemed to be running through the field and the crop was moving gently, close to where the noise was. ”He shouted to the figures who, at first, ignored him, not glancing at him. When he tried to enter the field they looked up and began running. ”He said; ‘They ran faster than any man I have ever seen. I’m no slouch but they were moving so fast. I looked away for a second and when I looked back they were gone. ”I then got scared. The noise was still around but I got an uneasy feeling and headed for the car. For the rest of the day I had a pounding headache I couldn’t shift.””
Why exactly the?Nordics ran off like that is unknown – it sounds pretty weak though. Comparatively speaking, green aliens bang on rooves and what-not trying to terrify the people that have seen them. And the gray aliens – they’ll melt off your fingers. If the best the tall blond aliens can muster is a quick escape on foot (not even in a spaceship), well that’s not overly impressive.
Of course we probably wouldn’t say that to their faces.
No, we wouldn’t do that.

I felt exactly the same way, how could “Aliens”, look so much like Earthly Humans? The Grays, black eyed as well as a few glowing red eyed types are commonly reported and this was possible to believe, but the Nordics were obviously a made up “UFO nut”, story. But then we had the Travis Walton incident, wherein Travis said that he saw a mix of classic Grays WITH blond haired, very Human, very Nordic looking beings. Well, I would have assigned this case to the loony file then, except for the fact that Travis was accompanied by a truck load of co-workers going home after a day of work. Their stories have held up under the test of time, not one of them changing their stories over the years, so this one case changed my mind on the topic of the, “unlikely Nordic looking Aliens.” Then I noticed the report from the UK’s recent MOD UFO report of a pedestrian in the UK who was approached by a Blond Nordic looking man who spoke with her, he said that crop cirlcles were being made by his race, and that he was from another Planet and that he was warned by his people, not to come to this Planet. She was frightened by this talk and rushed home to call the Police and report the incident. Again, no big proof, but another Nordic being reported in relation to aliens. This one has a tie in to the Crop Circle Phenomanon, and the witness did report seeing an extremly bright light soundlessly rising up from the “Blond Nordic Man’s”, direction of departure a few minutes later. Now we have this most recent case by a very reliable witness, a Policeman, whose testimony is flawed only by its lack of sensationalism. This is evidenced in his wording as he discribes the speed at which the “subjects” left the scene. It is the mark of a seasoned professional to give the details in a report in a “dry” and “detached” manner. As is the case with airline piots and Military personel, reporting an “unusuall” incident can have a detrimental effect on your career if sufficient distance and detachment from the topic is not maintained in the body of the report, a lack of emotional input is a positive factor. With this in mind and reading between the lines, this Officer witnessed the BNH’s, “Blond Nordic Humanoids”, exiting the crop circle at impossible speeds, but knew that saying as much would not be accepted as credible coming from a Police Officer. What does all of this add up to? Are we finally getting proof of Alien contact, no, not really, yes, good evidence but not definitive proof. Unlike most UFO lore, this one differs in that three different incidents, seperated by many years and different wittnesses, corroberate in multiple interesting aspects, such as the Travis Walton incident lending credibility to the crazy sounding Blond Nordic beings, and the last two incidents both involving Crop Circles end up imparting credence in the very notion of Blond haired humanoids being involved in the formation of the perplexing crop formations. The one thing that is missing in these cases that would otherwise draw me in as a believer is the lack of any new, usefull, previously unknown information that would surely be included in any communication from an advanced civilization.
