Father and Son have both reported nightly visitation from “Alien” beings on their North Port, Florida home.
Glad to hear that MUFON has taken up the case and is currently doing their own investigations of the claim.

Both claim to have seen the stereotypical Alien looking creatures outside their windows and have even taken a cast of the footprints they claim the Aliens left behind. Read below for more details of the story and analysis of the evidence.

NORTH PORT: Family members are scared to go outside at night because of what they say is lurking in the woods. They claim more than five alien encounters in the last four months have taken place. Now, an international UFO organization wants to crack the real-life X-file.

Michael Rowley and his son Shane moved to their North Port home in April.

“Well, I’m retired and I thought this was where you’re supposed to go,” Michael said. “The only bad part is the aliens around here.”

Shane, 16, says he’s had several extra-terrestrial encounters – most of which have been through his bedroom window.

“They kind of show up when they want. You get used to them, but it is weird to see them walking around the woods with those big eyes,” he said.

“I haven’t seen the wings but we know he flies,” added Michael.

The Rowleys’ twilight story has the attention of MUFON – Mutual UFO Network. The group is investigating and wants to setup surveillance. But Michael believes they won’t show up if cameras are around.

He says the plaster cast of a foot-print is his key evidence. While it may be hard to see, Michael believes the creature has a cloven hoof.

“[It’s] about this big with pure deep red eyes. It just looked at me for a second,” Michael said.

Michael admits to rarely going out at night. But he says he believes they come in peace and that they’re here for a reason.

“I’m a combat Vietnam vet and I don’t wake up until something good is going on,” he said. “This is something big and good going on.”

The family expects another alien encounter during the next full moon.

“And the neighbor, I showed a sample of the foot print and he goes, ‘nah.’ No one believes me,” he said.

To the skeptical, Michael says just come to his house for a visit.

“I didn’t believe it at first,” he said.

MUFON‘s statement on the investigation:

May 26, 2009

Reference: Initial Field Investigation
MUFON Case# 17015
North Port Florida Encounter

The Mutual UFO Network of Florida performed an initial assessment of suspected
extraterrestrial entity activity at the Rowley residence located at 2556 Holland St, North
Port, Florida. Two witnesses gave testimony and accounts, Shane Rowley and father of
Shane, Michael Rowley. Suspect evidence was collected. The evidence consists of video,
photographs of footprint and associated negatives and a footprint plaster cast made by the
witnesses.

Based on the analysis of the witness accounts, photographs, video evidence and foot print
plaster cast, it is our opinion that the events as accounted by the witnesses is
unexplainable and the unusual occurrences which took places at the aforementioned
address warrants further investigation.

MUFON Field Observations

Outside Observations

Upon arrival MUFON field investigator Morgan Beall member number 12273 and an
independent investigator assisting Morgan Beall met with the owner of the property Mr.
Michael Rowley on May 21, 2009. An examination of the property was conducted first.
Traces of animal or rodent were observed surrounding the home in the form of rooting
sign and burrows. Disturbed earth and mulch was observed in the front planting area left
of the garage. The location of the sample footprint was observed near the lanai door.
According to Michael Rowley the footprint was facing the door. A game trail or walk
path was observed directly across from Shane Rowley’s bedroom window. Within the
forested area near the residence, signs of people in the form of trash was observed. Trash
consisted of beer bottle, medicine containers, toys and other miscellanies items. Organic
material was observed over top of most trash items suggesting a long period of time has
passed since the trash items were placed. Also evidence of a small brush fire was evident
on the sides of some palm trees via burn marks. No other usual outdoor observations
were made.

As far as the cast that was made of the Alien foot print:

Foot Print Analysis
July 1, 2009
Morgan Beall presented a foot print for my analysis. He brought me the foot print for analysis,
because my family owned and operated a nuisance wildlife company in Fort Myers, Florida for over
25 years. I also manage four environmental parks in the City of Cape Coral. My knowledge of the
wildlife of Florida and their tracks is quite extensive. I can identify every mammal in the state of
Florida and have an understanding of the movement and speed of an animal based on depth and shape
of the track.
The foot print cast and photos that I was given to examine by Mr. Beall are not of a known animal
species found in Florida or that I even know to exist. This print appears to be from a bipedal with
odd additional appendages and three primary toes. It is nothing that is known to me, or likely anyone
else.
The following is the description of the shape and motion the print is displaying from examination of
both cast and photos taken of the foot print site:
The front of the foot displays three primary digits. Digit one on the right side of the cast or left side
of the foot is approximately 3” inches deep, digit two or center digit is 2 ¼” inches deep, digit three
to the left side of the cast is 1 ¼” inches deep.
At the ball of foot and beneath the toe area is a large, possible, grasping appendage. The center of
the appendage comes almost to a point and could possibly be a claw? The point is one 1” inch long,
and on either side are possible digits? This area could also be a large digit and the 1” inch point is a
claw? From arch to heal appear to be a typical bipedal foot, except the arch extends across entire
foot with no outer bone for balance. However, there is a separate appendage at the back of the heel
that is anvil shaped and may provide support. The heel is 4” inches and the anvil shaped appendage is
3 ½” inches.
The print is 19” inches long from anvil appendage to longest digit. Depth, at the deepest point, is
the center appendage on the ball of the foot, which is 4 1/2” inches.
The photo shows a spray of soil to the right of the print. It appears the owner of the foot print
pushed off to the right with great force in order to throw the soil in such a matter. The weight
applied to the print would be greatest on the right side of the print or the left side of the actual foot.
Based on the contour of the cast, the weight was applied to the correct portion of the cast results.
The characteristics of the cast depth and the shape match the characteristics found in the photo
display of soil disruption.
