A letter from 1989.A sphere in the jungle.Four men vanish; one survives by pulling the trigger.This week on Stories Lost, we follow a paper trail from Kharkiv’s Belgorod Highway to North Vietnam’s Lapthach — two cases preserved in Igor Kalytyuk’s archive. We examine a late–Soviet abduction letter by Ivan Rybchenko and a 1968 incident in the Vietnamese jungle: a lightless three-meter sphere, radio blackout, and a field team that dwindled one by one. Different formats, different routes into print — same unresolved edge.But that’s only part of the story.🔹 Living ship “grown” from a universal embryo🔹 Mesh transmitter nets over a dead world🔹 Dorra’s coil-bodied engineers & Ak’s eye-like beings🔹 Sunlight bending around a black sphere🔹 A self-inflicted shot breaks the control🕰 Chapters00:00 — The Fire Was Low01:20 — Two Cases from the ArchiveCase One — The Letter (Kharkiv, 1989)02:29 — A Letter from Kharkiv03:32 — The Light on Belgorod Highway04:32 — The Door in the Light05:02 — Answers Before Questions06:27 — Knowledge Without Understanding07:55 — Questions That Were Not Allowed09:18 — A Room That Responded to Thought10:51 — The Examination14:20 — The First Planet16:31 — Paralysis17:23 — They Wanted to See Me19:06 — Dorra20:28 — The Dorrians24:13 — Not Intended for My Eyes28:11 — Returned to EarthCase Two — The Black Sphere (Vietnam, 1968)28:11 — Lap Thach, Vietnam28:46 — The Object in the Sky30:51 — The Black Sphere31:43 — Waiting by the Fire32:40 — Boris Ivanov’s Diary34:55 — Taken One by One36:03 — “I Shot Myself in the Leg”36:18 — The Sphere Was GoneAnalysis & Closing37:00 — Later Commentary39:58 — Why One Man Survived41:09 — Two Unresolved Cases42:29 — Final ThoughtsSources:V.

Mist over the Kattegat – Close encounter, child witness in Sjællands OddeA craft in the fog.Eight figures in a hanging box.A boy who says they looked friendly.This week on Stories Lost, we travel to Overby on Sjællands Odde, Denmark, to revisit a 1967 dusk-time sighting first published in UFO-Nyt. “They looked so friendly,” Jesper told his mother after watching an object descend over the shore.The case blends classic close-encounter elements with a rare child witness: a descending craft, odd “legs” of light, and occupants handling instruments. Decades later, a re-interview challenges key details, raising questions about memory, suggestion, and how early UFO investigations were conducted.But that’s only part of the story.🔹 Yellow “legs” that ended mid-air🔹 Three landing struts retract, near touchdown🔹 Basket lowered; eight climb down fast🔹 Smiles and waves, almost no sound🔹 2025 re-interview reshapes the record🕰 Chapters00:00 The Mist Over Sjællands Odde00:01 “It’s a Tornado Coming”01:01 A Dark Object in the Sky02:23 The Report Reaches Rude Skov03:12 Erling Jensen and Initial Skepticism04:41 “I Wish It Would Come Back”05:17 Overby, the Road, and the Weather07:29 A Sudden Turn and a Near Landing08:25 The Basket Beneath the Craft09:53 They Pointed Something at Him10:41 Low Over the Trees13:22 The Strangest Details15:57 The Beings and Their Appearance17:09 An Extraordinary Account17:39 Published in UFO-NYT18:55 The Black Substance on the Beach19:07 Classic Close Encounter Features20:42 Child Witnesses and Reporting Thresholds22:43 Ionized Plasma Vortexes?22:59 A Case That Would Not Change26:00 Jesper Speaks Again — 202526:44 Memory, Suggestion, and Investigation Methods27:54 Final ReflectionsSources:https://archive.org/details/UFO_Nyt_No_2_marts-april_1967/page/n13/mode/2uphiddenmark.dkhttps://hiddenmark.dk/This episode weaves together the fieldwork of SUFOI investigator Erling Jensen, later reflections by SUFOI veteran Toke Haunstrup, and a modern on-site re-interview with Jesper that reframes what was—and wasn’t—actually seen.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy forgotten casework and eerie true accounts.👽 Support the channel:Support the channel:https://www.youtube.com/@storieslost/membershiphttps://buymeacoffee.com/storieslosthttps://www.patreon.com/c/StoriesLost

This week on Stories Lost, we retrace three Swedish encounters — from a forestry crash by the Gulf of Bothnia, to a silent frame over Byviken, to twelve small men on a frozen road near Eslöv. Across decades, testimonies shift between folklore and ufology. We follow an anonymous laborer, twin brothers Holger & Henry, and cattle herder Helge Eriksson — each describing light, sound, smell, and fear as the ordinary world tilts.But that’s only part of the story.🔹 Blinding flash that X-rays trees🔹 A uniformed “dwarf” speaking Swedish🔹 A hissing sack — body dissolves in river🔹 Glowing shard cracks cement, radio burns🔹 Twelve small men march into violet light🕰 Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Three Cases We Never Forgot00:34 – A brief word before we begin01:38 – The Being (1955): The man in the gallery02:39 – The Being (1955): The object and the light05:12 – The Being (1955): A conversation with the dying stranger09:50 – The Being (1955): The river and the disappearance12:02 – The Twin Brothers (1949): A calm summer morning12:39 – The Twin Brothers (1949): The object over the porch14:45 – The Twin Brothers (1949): Years of silence18:03 – The Twin Brothers (1949): What remained20:50 – The Small Men (1931): Epiphany night23:35 – The Small Men (1931): The light in the fieldThis episode weaves together the fieldwork of Erland Sandqvist and later reflections by Anders Liljegren and Håkan Blomqvist, alongside the testimonies of Holger, Henry, and Helge Eriksson.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoy forgotten casework and eerie true accounts.👽 Support the channel:Support the channel:https://www.youtube.com/@storieslost/membershiphttps://buymeacoffee.com/storieslosthttps://www.patreon.com/c/StoriesLostKeywords: Sweden UFO, 1955 Bothnia, Byviken twins, Helge Eriksson, folklore vs ufology
