Insectoids, or mantis-like aliens, are among the many different types of aliens reported by abductees around the world. They are described as tall, with six legs, and a peaceful demeanor. Although they speak to each other in clicks, they are able to communicate with other beings via telepathic abilities. Insectoids have been seen during abductions working alongside other alien types such as the Greys or Reptilians, usually performing various types of medical experiments.

Abductions[]

Exterminator's Roadside Meeting (1964 or 65)[]

Recounted to Ufogist Kenny Young in 2001 by Benjamin Davidson of Kentucky days before his death a sort of ambush is said to have occurred in the mid-1960s. Memory of which didn't return to Benjamin until the 1990s when something about accidently burning the hairs on his hand with a cigarette triggered the memory. Benjamin was working as an Exterminator around Cincinnati and Portsmouth, Ohio when while traveling between those two points he had to stop on the road as it was blocked by a silvery disk shaped object that had landed there. As he looked upon the multiple lights of the craft he slowly became aware that he was not alone. On either side of his vehicle where giant mantids. They did not speak to him but the body language of one he recounted as 'the escort' got him to leave his vehicle and walk with the non-violent entity into the craft. There he was taken to an examination room where blood was drawn, skin taken from the palm of his hand, and nails clipped. He remembers being totally at peace, waiting to be addressed or spoken to until he saw another examination table. Upon it was a little girl who was evidently deceased. The calm faded from him and he became distressed with an overwhelming sensation of helplessness at the sight of this dead child. His distress was noticed and that's when he blacked out- coming to within his car, the craft and mantids gone. Benjamin apparently remembered more of what happened but died of cancer in May of 2001 before being able to provide more to Kenny Young.

North Carol Road Incident (1987)[]

As recounted by Martin Jasek, M.Sc., P. Eng. in 'Insectoid Abduction: The North Carol Road Incident' [1] a man named Kevin encountered insectoids in August or September of 1987. The abductee had gone on a hunting trip upon his motor bike and made a stop on North Carol Road to relieve himself. It was while doing so that he looked up and saw a noiseless cigar shaped craft resembling a bus sized DC-3 plane with portholes along the sides. A grey stripe along it's center with green on the top and bottom. He was bewildered until feeling something was very off about what he was seeing. Evidently he believed it was a low flying plane until it dawned on him that there was no noise and no wings. Returning to his bike Kevin decided to hide but feeling his camera felt like taking a picture while doing so. However as soon as he grasped it he was overcome with a calming sensation and again felt there was no need let alone that anything was unusual. When the craft was out of view Kevin emerged from hiding feeling rather excited by the whole experience and it was in this excitement that he heard a metallic thud. He turned thinking a car door had closed and someone else may have seen it too but what he saw was not a person. In blue jump suits where what Kevin described as grey grasshopper people. One of them raised a hand to their waist towards a flashlight device and in an instant Kevin felt paralyzed and blacked out. It would be some time after this that Kevin would recall being taken aboard the craft. Memory slowly coming back when, awoken in the night, a grey like alien face told him there was nothing to worry about after months of restless slumber. Kevin recalls that while the first part of the encounter was scary once aboard the craft he found the insectoids to be rather friendly. They showed him Earth from above using a giant copy type machine that printed out an image. They offered to take him to see other worlds and stars but Kevin declined and was told that he'd have to forget their encounter. Kevin remembers being sad but drank the yellow beverage that would make him forget. Evidently it didn't work as intended given his visit by the grey some time latter and return of his memories of the event which put Kevin's formerly restless mind at ease. The only physical remnant of his experience is one that his memories have no account for, which are two scoop marks- one on each palm of his hand and a residual burning sensation from those points. In the year 2000 Kevin was informed by his doctor that the condition is called Dupuytren's Contracture and there is no known cause of it. Kevin attributes it to the abduction though his memories do not include such as part of his experience.

Kim Carlsberg[]

Kim Carlsberg has published a few books on abductions, the first was "Beyond My Wildest Dreams: Diary of a UFO Abductee" which recounted her own experiences. In 2022 as part of a Travel Channel program called 'UFO Witness' she gave permission for her therapist to share tapes of hypnosis sessions recounting her abduction encounters. One of those experiences, occurring some time after 1988 but prior to 1995, was shared in which Kim Carlsberg was in her bed and when she awoke she was on a table in a giant room. The walls around her where wet and she realized she wasn't alone, creatures where staring at her- bugs like stick bugs with giant glistening eyes. As one got closer she could see it more clearly - a mantis. It touched her and in her own words nothing was hidden from the mantis. Tubes where put into her, her skull opened, chest opened and organs prodded. When Kim screamed the therapist ended the session. It's one of the more gruesome accounts of insectoids.

Non-Abduction Encounters[]

Langley British Columbia (1947)[]

An account from 1947, relayed by a sixteen year old witness and their brother is said to describe an encounter with five mantids. The two boys where reading books by a creek when a large dome like craft came down near them. From it emerged five giant mantids with dull silvery clothing. The sixteen year old stood to run only for one of the Mantids to rush up and grab the books from his hands. The mantid examined the books and then grasped the boy with an appendage upon the shoulder and stared into his eyes while clicking. A telepathic message was relayed telling the boy not to look up as the craft departs. The boy relayed this to his brother as the mantids examined the craft externally and once the mantids where aboard and the boys had their faces upon the ground it departed with a deafening sound. The heat the two experienced left them dehydrated but otherwise unharmed.
