José Ponce

Goods transport worker, Petare (east of Caracas) · second witness in Venezuela's founding case (1954)

Biography

He was with Gustavo González the early morning both said they found a luminous object blocking the street and hairy figures about a meter tall. His evidentiary function is that of the second witness: it turns a solitary and hard-to-sustain account —a man who says he wrestled with a creature— into testimony with immediate corroboration. Both gave statements in the following days and their versions matched, within the 1954 wave that produced occupant reports on several continents at once.

The Petare Case (González–Ponce)· 1954

In the early morning of 29 November 1954, in Petare (east of Caracas), two merchandise-transport workers —Gustavo González and José Ponce— recounted finding a luminous spherical object hovering in the middle of the street and hairy figures about one meter tall. González said he wrestled with one of them, which threw him several meters and left him with scratches. It drew attention because there was police intervention and a prosecutor's record that the witnesses were not intoxicated or deranged. It is one of the most cited humanoid encounters of early Latin American ufology.
