I Saw an INSECTOID in a Tux, Top Hat & Cane

A man in Amsterdam, New York encounters a grasshopper-like humanoid dressed in a tux, top hat, & cane! He writes in order to ask if I have heard of similar sightings.

Amsterdam, NY - 6/9/1980: It was a hot summer afternoon in Amsterdam, New York. I was living with my mom in a house trailer, right off the main route, and the first trailer in the park. It was June 9, 1980.

The front door and the back door were almost across from one another and I had both main wood doors open and screen doors shut. There's a small deck off the back door and the front door. I was alone, my mom had gone out for some errands. I was making coffee at the counter. This counter jutted out into the kitchen leaving the front door easily in my sight to the right and the back door just slightly past my peripheral vision on the left. No TV, no music, no neighbors.

Out of the corner of my left eye, I saw movement at the back door. I looked and saw a 6' grasshopper-like being that was wearing a tuxedo with tails, a top hat, and a black cane with a carved bone-like knob. It knocked on the back screen door. I looked back at my coffee cup in disbelief, then I looked again and it was still there, as it cocked its head. I looked away again in fear. Looked one final time, and saw it was still there and that's the last I remember. The whole event took only moments.

I moved to Los Angeles in January of 1981. I had no memory of this event. I didn't tell my mom anything when she came home that day, I don't remember anything more from that day.

It wasn't until I was in college that I remembered it. It came back as clear as it was that day not over time but all at once. I began telling the story to my close friends but there was always part of me that questioned whether it happened or not. I am an artist, maybe I made it up. But the detail was too clear and then I rented the video "Communion." I'm sure you know the premise of that movie as well as it's location. When I saw the alien wearing the tux, top hat, and cane, I damn near fell off my chair. It was like being hit with a brick. what are the odds of that? There's no way we both dreamed up the same being with those odd details. This is NOT your standard Grey. I think it's important to note that the movie came out AFTER my encounter.

My purpose in writing you is to add my story to your records but more importantly, I would REALLY like to know if anyone else has seen this and if they remember anything more about the encounter. I would really like to know what happened that afternoon after my 3rd and final glance. My rebooted memory stops at the third glance. But I got a feeling that was not the end of the story. Please let me know if you have heard of anything like this and thank you for all you do to inform and facilitate." R

NOTE: I contacted the experiencer and we discussed his encounter. I don't know what he experienced that day, but it seemed to have been very profound to him. Lon
