SUBJECT: UFO KIDNAPS ENTIRE TOWN FILE: UFO1244
Space alien kidnappers are believed responsible for the disappearance
of a town's entire population of 1,254 - and they even snatched
corpses from thelocal graveyard!
A deathly silence hung over the once bustling Exkimo settlement at
remote Lake Ankikuni in norhter Canada when it was visited by
bewildered trapper.
Half cooked meals hung in pots over dead fires...the cemetery was
violated and all the bodies removed...every dog in the settlement was
still tethered to trees, all dead of cold or exhaustion!
The spine chilling story - one of the baffling unsolved mysteries of
all time - is retold in the book The World's Greatest UFO Mysteries by
Nigel Blundell and Roger Boar.
First to come across the Anjikuni mystery was trapper Joseph Labelle
who arrived at the lakeside colony in the dead of winter of 1930:
As soon as I entered the little town I was filled with dread and
Apprehension. Nothing seemed right.
Labelle began shuddering with uncontrollable chills - and it wasn't
just because of the sub-zero temperature. I hurried from igloo to
igloo, pounding on every door, looking for one small sign of life. But
there was nothing, said Labelle, still shaken from the memory. I knew
there was something far wrong. From the half cooked meals, I knew they
had been disturbed during dinner preparation. In each cabin I found a
rifle propped beside a doorpost - and no Eskimo hunter goes anywhere
without his rifle!
With horror Labelle went on to discover long dead dog teams, still
tethered to trees. Nearby the hard, frozen ground in the cemetery had
been turned over and bodies obviously removed.
I knew then that something very awful had occurred, added the shocked
trapper. These people would never leave their dogs to die...or allow
anyone to desecrate the resting place of their loved ones and
ancestors.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigators, telegraphed by Labelle,
descended on the settlement within hours of the trapper's chilling
discovery. They were baffled. A Canada wide search was eventually
launched.
But, more than half a century later, the Anjikuni mystery remains
unsolved. It's as if the tribe vanished off the face of the Earth. The
only clue which bears validity is the testimony of another rapper,
Armand Laurent, who lived with his sons in an isolated lakeside cabin.
The Laurents told Mounties they saw a strange brightly lit object race
across the sky a few days before the investigation began.
In what direction?
Toward the Eskimo village, Laurent told police. Straight for it!
