The incredible story of the 'Humanoids' that they say they see in the Valley
EL TIEMPO publication August 16, 2021
Madness or legend? Experts explain a phenomenon that has generated commotion in this area of the country.
The story of some strange beings taller than two meters and with a robotic voice, dressed in black, who supposedly appear at night, has the peasants of a small town in Valle del Cauca baffled. This is the town of Guasimal, about five kilometers from the urban area of Zarzal, a quiet place, where the peasants live from livestock, sugar mills, cheese production and fruit crops. The only thing that has altered their daily life, according to the inhabitants, was what happened in December 2012, when the stories of the apparitions of these beings began in the town, which have been repeated throughout these seven years.
Since then, the story spread throughout the hot municipality and in other nearby places, which led to pilgrimages of people arriving in Guasimal in cars, motorcycles, and even on foot, to search at night for those supposed beings who had come. of “other galaxies”. Ufologists also arrived, with their equipment, to try to gather evidence, in video or photographs, of the presence of the “aliens”. Despite the alleged encounters, until now no video records have been made that show any kind of evidence and there are only supposed audios and testimonies from residents.
The testimonials
What is left over in the town are the testimonies of those who claim to have seen the alleged beings and some audios that, they assert, were made in the most recent contact they had with them, at the end of December of last year. One of the audios is on Diego Mondragón's cell phone, the owner of a farm where, according to him, the alleged “aliens have been several times.” Modragón recounted that one night in December 2018 these beings arrived at his property, just as a party was being held at a neighboring farm. The people who were enjoying the meeting, Mondragón said, would have begun to hear strange sounds. “I realized what was happening because I had already had contact with them before, but some of those who were on the farm got scared and there was a shot. I left the house and went to the fence of the farm to tell them to be calm, that they were peaceful, “he said.

After several minutes, Mondragón continued, a short dialogue was established between him, those who were on the farm, and five supposed aliens. “We have been authorized to come to deliver a message of sacrifice for humanity, love and loyalty. Love each other because very soon the human race will end; we will get a little seed from it”, is one of the parts of the message that one of the beings would have left, which was recorded with his approval.
Next, the supposed being from another planet told him that they have lived in Guasimal for 60 years, where they say they have an underground base of 5,000 square meters, a space where they would have a mother ship and that they come from the planet Orion. However, Orion is a constellation, the best known, but it is not a planet. That night, due to the panic that arose, someone called the Police in the urban area of Zarzal. Patrolman Manuel Velandia Márquez, who has been in the institution for 16 years, the last two in the Valluna population, attended to the situation.
“I went in my private car. When I arrived, there were a lot of people and they were all excited, nervous. They told me what was happening and I began to record audio on my cell phone because the night was very dark and only silhouettes about 2 meters tall could be seen. I told him: Friend, come on, who are you, what do you want? and immediately they began to talk to us”, recalled the policeman, who confirms Mondragón's testimony. (This is the hidden port for the landing of spaceships in Colombia) According to the account of patrolman Velandia, the supposed “aliens” spoke “of human beings, who are more evolved than us, of a seed that they want to save from humanity and of future situations.” The policeman stressed that the voice of these beings “was heard at one point and then at another because they jumped from one side to the other. He also remembered that the communication equipment had an interference, as if there was a magnetic field around it. Velandia says that his companions doubted his stories, but he firmly believes in what he experienced that night in Guasimal.
close contacts
The first time that Mondragón claimed to see these supposed humanoids was a night with a full moon. The farm dog did not stop barking at a fixed point, near the pens for the laying hens.“I went to see what was happening, why was that animal barking so much. When I got here –he pointed- I saw a man about two meters tall, dressed in black and with a shining star on his chest. From one moment to the next, that man jumped into that ravine and then continued jumping through the pastures. That day I said that he was someone from another world, because if someone jumps into the ravine, he kills himself, this is very high ”. This farmer also claimed to have sporadic contact with these beings, but admitted that he has never seen their ships in the Guasimal firmament. He affirmed that those who have seen them are not crazy and do not seek to profit from the story that this area is sighting territory for these strangers. Like Mondragón, other residents of Guasimal say they have seen the beings, the story that is repeated is their amazing ability to jump. “They are capable of jumping several meters. They are here and from one moment to the next they are in another paddock”, it is commented in the corregimiento.
One of those locals is Guillermo Osorio, who owns a sugar mill where, according to his neighbors, these beings “get a lot of rigging and even ask him for water.” Other residents of the Guasimal farms have different positions regarding the visions of their neighbors: “I have not come to see them, but many people say that they have seen them, so it may be true.” Ufologist Cristian Ramos, from the Contacto Ovni Colombia group, stated that he was able to confirm the testimonies of the inhabitants of that place, as he assured that he saw them the first time he went to that place in 2013, when he arrived at Diego Mondragón's farm attracted because of the curiosity that the case aroused in him. “In the distance, about 200 meters away, there was a figure of about 2.30 meters, thick build, had black clothes, a black diving suit, boots. He wobbled from left to right, never sitting still. He was looking at us,” Ramos recounted.
The expert in the studies of these cases added that, when they were taking out a camera, the being moved away by jumping back and remained unmoved after verifying that those beings that they had described to him if they were real. “At that moment, what he did was jump two or three meters back and he left jumping. Every time he fell to the ground he felt an impressive roar and the animals were scared, ”he recalled. Ramos explained that there are several hypotheses about the origin of the “Guasimal aliens.” One of the strongest related them to intraterrestrial beings; that is, they come from inside the earth.
Nothing of that
Collective madness? Mythological tales? Deception ? These are some of the versions that have emerged about the stories, but neither local authorities nor experts dare to deny or affirm that what they say they see in Guasimal is real. For Esteban Cruz, a writer and expert on these issues, what is happening in Guasimal is a complex social phenomenon that involves supposed 'humanoids' whose existence has not been proven and it cannot be said that this population is crazy; however, it is an unexplained phenomenon. “Experiences with humanoid beings are from the origin of mythologies, with nomes, fairies, goblins, because we always want to see other realities. One might think that it is a modern mythology, narratives are built on magical, surprising events that give meaning to the community. In this case, the story with these beings is already part of their lives,” Cruz explained.
Although the authorities are skeptical, they do not dare to categorically deny what is happening there. bAndrés Felipe Castillo, Zarzal rural police inspector, commented that the alleged apparitions of the aliens have generated “intrigue” in the municipality, above all because the reports of these “are continuous, by seasons.” “I have acquaintances who say that they have seen some very strange footprints on the farms, that this is not an animal. Well, one is very curious,” said the inspector, who added that Guasimal is a very quiet area, where there are few cases of public order disturbances. The mayoress of Zarzal, Luz Elena López, has also heard the same stories. “I do not know because I have not seen them, I have not heard them, but there are people who say that they have seen and heard them. They say that they are people who jump, who jump from one hill to another, that they have been hit different messages and some have spoken with them,” he said. The ruler added that during the alleged appearances of the beings “nothing serious has happened, they have not done anything to anyone,”. Finally, López affirmed that some people say that the alleged aliens “are not seen as often as they were some time ago, but people say they are there, but it is not known where.”
