JUNE 5, 1957, URIMAN, BOLIVAR, VENEZUELA, INDIANS:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Joseph Rolas, a correspondant of APRO in Venezuela, reported that on the night of the June 5, 1957, several Indians brought a friend to a village named Uriman in Bolivar to have a deep gash at his arm treated. An LAV Captain who was on the scene, questioned the Indians and was told that they had seen a luminous object land and little men emerged from it. They tried to catch the small creatures, one of whom slashed at an Indian and cut his arm. The Indians became frightened, let the little man go, and hurried to the village to have their comrade treated.

These details were related to an airline pilot by the LAV pilot who interviewed the Indians. The pilot, a close friend to Joseph Rolas, related the incident to him. Rolas commented that Indians in that country are very reticent and serious people, and are not known to falsify for attention. The Indians are also known as having little or no imagination, which would be required to make up such a tale, and also are not often in contact with the civilized world where they might gather information on the 1954-1955 "little men" sightings and contact in Venezuela. The general consensus of opinion in Uriman is that the Indians saw and experienced what they claim they did.

Venezuelan Indian Encounters UAO, Little Men

On the night of the June 5th, several Indians brought a friend to a village named Uriman in Bolivar to have a deep gash at his arm treated. An LAV Captain who was on the scene, questioned the Indians and was told that they had seen a luminous object land and little men emerged from it. They tried to catch the small creatures, one of whom slashed at an indian and cut his arm. The Indians became frightened, let the little man go, and hurried to the village to have their comrade treated.

These details were related to an airline pilot by the LAV pilot who interviewed the Indians. The pilot, a close friend to Joseph Rolas, related the incident to him. Rolas commented that Indians in that country are very reticent and serious people, and are not known to falsify for attention. The Indians are also known as having little or no imagination, which would be required to make up such a tale, and also are not often in contact with the civilized world where they might gather information on the 1954-1955 "little men" sightings and contact in Venezuela. The general consensus of opinion in Uriman is that the Indians saw and experienced what they claim they did. (Cr: Joseph Rolas)

[Ref. jv1:] JACQUES VALLEE:

This ufologist noted in his catalogue that on June 5, 1957 in Uriman, Venezuela, according to Guy Quincy, there was an "undocumented report of a landing and of 'bellicose dwarfs'."

Points to consider:

Uriman is an isolated place in the south of Venezuela, that had an airfield.

You might wonder whether the Indians of the area read science-fiction or the stories by Adamski, or have some doubts about the thesis defending that only science-fiction soaked Westerners report encounters of that sort.
