Important Notes:

Best viewed on a desktop/laptop, not a mobile device. On Windows, Firefox works best, followed by Edge, then Chrome.

I've split up the timeline into 4 parts, to reduce their sizes: distant past up to 1949, 1950-1959, 1960-1979, and 1980-present.

The majority of the events in this chronology are sighting related, however it's important to be aware that this is a timeline of UFO/UAP related events, not necessarily or exclusively UFO sightings. This is not exclusively a UFO sightings timeline or database.

Some sighting reports or events appear multiple times in this timeline because they appear in more than one data source. I view this as a useful feature.

Currently, the events are not sorted by time of day, only by date. Some sources have separate "time" fields, but most don't. This will be fixed once the event times are automatically extracted from the description fields.

A few events don't have firm dates, for example "Summer of 1947", or "Late July 1952". In these instances the compilation code uses fixed dates I selected for date sorting purposes. (See the code for the specific dates.)

Event 21637 (52F813CA)

Date: 1960 (approximate)
Location: FRANCE, La Prodélie/Ayen (Puy d'Yssandon)
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. and Mrs. Plumauzille were driving on the D 151 around 11 pm. Suddenly, Mr. Plumauzille saw a pinkish red light without a border, at tree height, on the right side of the road. He saw it rise and realized he was only about a hundred meters away from it. Almost immediately, he and his wife saw, on the right side of the road, in the light of the headlights, a mass the size of a large bag of potatoes that quickly shrank, seeming to collapse in on itself. He then saw, as well as his wife, a number of these light gray-brown masses, smaller than the first, moving around in the grass. At least two of them crossed the road and disappeared into the ferns. The witnesses thought that these things moved by contracting, swelling and deflating their bulges, which made them look like an animal trapped in a translucent plastic bag. (Around 1960)

Event 21639 (2F44DE31)

Date: 1960
Location: ALLEMAGNE, Offenbach
Description: (Translated from French) Klaus Dieter Kaufmann, had to undergo a spinal surgery in 1990. "How many years ago was the previous operation?" the surgeon asked him, looking at his medical file. "But I have never been operated on," Kaufmann replied. The surgeon showed him the radiographs to prove the contrary. A strange story from his adolescence then came back to him: he had observed a UFO. The craft shot a blinding flash at him and Dieter-Klaus fainted. He returned home four hours late and suffered from migraines and difficulty concentrating for several days. He had a painful mark on his pelvic region and a wound mark on the lower back. Kaufmann tried to remember the adventure and the memories gradually came back to him. He had entered a state close to trance when he was confronted with small armed creatures with some kind of oxygen tanks on their backs. He became friendly with them and followed them on board the ship, noticing that it did not walk but floated. He found himself in a brightly lit room where two beings with huge, black oblique eyes were standing: frightening. He tried to escape but was unable to move. After a medical examination carried out by beings with webbed fingers, he learned that he could go home and this time he felt like he was being carried out in the arms of someone he could not see but could hear breathing loudly, as if through a tube. He wanted to feel but only found a belt, no chest. A force pushed his hand away and he fainted, regaining consciousness at the place where the adventure had begun. (1960,)

Event 21640 (795334CB)

Date: 1960
Location: AUSTRALIA, Adelaide
Description: (Translated from French) In 1991 a 31 year old woman reported being abducted by a large entity and groups of small entities. The abductions occurred in her bed and through her bedroom door, throughout her life. The small entities measure 120 cm and have large ugly heads, with prominent eyes without pupils, dark blue to black in colour. They have only a slit for a mouth, and a very small nose. The larger entities measure 210 cm and seem to command the small ones. She levitated or was carried out of her bed, floating into a circular room, where medical examinations took place, while she was laid on a metal table. Then she would wake up in her bed. Hypnotic regression confirmed the abductions. Throughout her life she was surrounded by poltergeist activity, sensations of presence wherever she lived, children's toys moving by themselves, such as their tricycles, etc. (the whole paranormal panoply). She claims to have implants in her face. The investigation revealed that she was a victim of sexual abuse during her childhood, not by entities from elsewhere, but by men from her very close family. [note from vog: so traumatised enough to become completely schizophrenic...] (Since its birth in 1960)

Event 21641 (A24E95C0)

Date: 1960
Location: AFRIQUE DU SUD, Durban
Description: (Translated from French) In 1960, electrician Edwin found a job as a radio mechanic in Durban. His firm hired an inspector named George. George lived in a hotel room and soon the two men became friends, and went fishing together on the weekends. On one of these fishing trips, George brought a radio apparatus, and soon a saucer appeared in the sky while a voice on the radio announced "This is Wy-Ora (name of the vessel) We are a people from the planet Koldas." It turns out that George is actually an extraterrestrial and his name is Valdar. To prove this, George/Valdar speaks in his extraterrestrial language and the saucer begins to perform incredible maneuvers. The world Koldas is in the universe of antimatter. In 1962 George/Valdar returned to his country, leaving the apparatus as a gift to Edwin, to continue to communicate. Which he did until 1964. Edwin was then warned against extraterrestrial saboteur groups, and also learned that a new planet called Epicot was being prepared to cater to the eventualities of repopulation. (1960,)

Event 21643 (56708C00)

Date: 1960
Locations: Tucson, Arizona; Alamogordo, New Mexico
Description: Jim Lorenzen is hired as senior technical associate with the Kitt Peak National Observatory, so he and Coral move to Tucson, Arizona, from Alamogordo, New Mexico. On their third day in Tucson, an “exterminator” visits them, offering to inspect their rented premises for free. He fails to mention the name of his company, nor does he seem interested in his occupation. He talks with Coral about their reason for moving, where Jim is employed, and UFOs.

Event 21644 (316C349E)

Date: 1960
Locations: Mars; Atlantis; Lemuria
Description: Brinsley Le Poer Trench, 8th Earl of Clancarty, publishes The Sky People, in which he claims that Adam and Eve, Noah, and many other characters in the Bible originally lived on Mars. Trench believes that Adam and Eve were experimental creations of extraterrestrials. The biblical description of the Garden of Eden is inconsistent with what Earth is like, and because Mars contains canals, the Garden of Eden must have been located on Mars. He further claims that the north polar ice cap melted on Mars, causing the descendants of Adam and Eve to move to Earth. The Book of Genesis is a symbolic version of what actually happened to groups of people on Mars, he writes, with the Great Deluge referring to the flooding of Atlantis and Lemuria, which were populated with Adamic migrants.

Date: 1960
Description: Contactee George Hunt Williamson legally changes his name to Michel d’Obrenovic, said to reflect an ancestral connection to the throne of Serbia. However, John Griffin says the real reason is that Williamson’s sensational claims have rendered his anthropological work (such as it is) completely unacceptable.

Event 21646 (084328C4)

Date: 1960
Locations: Brno; Czech Republic
Description: Night. During a pause in army maneuvers near Brno [now in the Czech Republic], soldiers see a peculiarly colored light above the city. After hovering a while, it vanishes but reappears in another part of the sky. Their commanding officer tells them to look at it with binoculars and check the radar. Headquarters sends up interceptors to chase the object, but every time one of them gets near, the light disappears from the radar screen, only to turn up elsewhere. The incident goes on for an hour before the light disappears for good.

Event 21647 (DA8DAFA8)

Date: 1960
Description: The invention of transponders that transmit an electronic identification signal from aircraft to ground control helps to further reduce clutter on air traffic control radars. This means that “aerial phenomena” appear on radar only if they intrude on flight paths and create a near miss of the type investigated by the Civil Aviation Authority.

Event 21648 (E08FB4C0)

Date: 1960
Description: USAF Airman 3rd Class Larry W. Rogers, 3926th Air Police Squadron K-9, states he saw a half dozen glowing UAP while stationed at Ben Guerir Air Base, Morocco. Rogers states jet fighters from Zaragoza AFB, Spain were scrambled and began interacting with the lights. “The UFOs suddenly began moving around really quickly and erratically.” After the event, Rogers said he and a few companions who saw the event were told to get into an Air Force sedan, driven to the headquarters building, put into different rooms and debriefed. Rogers said they may have been OSI but he wasn’t sure; they threatened him, told him not to talk, forced him to sign a non-disclosure statement and shown a regulation “AFR 200-2.”

Note: USAF issued Air Force Regulation 200-2 on 26 August 1953, which restricted UAP reporting procedures and required UAP events to be sent to Air Force Intelligence. It is likely the interrogators were AFOSI, given Rogers recalls seeing AFR 200-2.

Event 21649 (FFA2281B)

Date: Early 1960
Locations: James Connally AFB [now TSTC Waco Airport] near Waco, Texas; Waco
Description: Night. Vice Chief of Air Staff Gen. Curtis LeMay is conducting an exercise to test his bombers’ capability to penetrate US air space. An F-89J Scorpion jet instructor pilot and his radar observer, 1Lt. Joe Meyer, have just successfully intercepted a B-47 and are descending to land at James Connally AFB [now TSTC Waco Airport] near Waco, Texas. They notice a pinpoint of light at their level 12 miles away over Waco and decide to approach and attack it as if they are armed. As they approach on a collision course, they see the object has four bright blue- white lights on it and it is stationary. They estimate it is 25–30 feet in diameter. But the object shoots straight up at incredible speed before they reach it. They look up and see the object is bright blue white on its underside. It disappears at about 90,000 feet altitude.

Event 21653 (8AE989AC)

Date: 1/3/1960
Time: 23:05
Location: McCarran Field, Las Vegas NV
Description: A blue light, which raced silently across the Las Vegas, Nevada sky, puzzled McCarran Field tower controlmen. "It was the fastest thing I ever saw," said tower employee Jack McMillen who spotted the light at about 11:05 p.m. A departing private plane also saw the object. Earlier that evening, four different pilots in two commercial airlines planes flying between Bryce Canyon and Mormon Mesa reported observing a similar light. Their reports of the object to Salt Lake City were intercepted by the McCarran tower. McMillen said he saw the light for about two or perhaps three seconds, going north to south at about a 15-20 degree elevation. He also said he had thought it might have been a meteor but changed his mind as it left no trail, and had a horizontal trajectory. He said he contacted a private plane which had just taken off and asked the pilot for confirmation. The pilot confirmed McMillen's sighting. An Air Force T-33 inbound to Nellis AFB also confirmed its pilot had also seen a strange light.

Date: 1/14/1960
Description: (Translated from French) Along the coasts of Argentina, two unknown submerged vessels are noticed. In the Nuevo Gulf, detectors of the Argentine navy reveal the presence of a submarine quietly settled in the mud at the bottom, motionless. After making the usual warnings, not getting any reaction, the sailors send bombs in its direction. Two other vessels then appear on the sonars. A few hours later, when all the passages leading to the open sea are watched, it is noticed that they have all 3 disappeared. The Argentines believe they have won the game when, after the absence of any manifestation and the publication of triumphant communiqués, the "ghosts" come back to the charge. A fantastic pursuit begins and lasts several weeks, during which 6 unknown submarines are detected.

Event 21665 (C89791D6)

Date: 1/29/1960
Location: SWITZERLAND, Ursenbach (Emmenthal)
Description: (Translated from French) "As we were driving in a break to the evening service, Friday (January 29, 1960), an oblong thing, similar to a torpedo or a giant cigar, suddenly crossed the road, at man's height, in front of the horse, without the latter being frightened, which is really strange," wrote to her niece Mrs. Marie Morgenthaler, from Ursenbach in Emmental. "The envelope of this kind of torpedo seemed to be composed of horizontal colored and luminous bands," she specified. "The colors were moving and I had never seen such before this apparition. I have the feeling that they are not from this Earth. The torpedo arrived through the fields: it looked like a vehicle beacon. The thing then passed between two farms that border the road, and it was only at the moment when it emerged in front of us that we saw what it was. And imagine that this torpedo silently entered the side of the hill, on the other side of the road." In a postscript, Mrs. Morgenthaler added: We saw in the newspaper the next day that a luminous object had been seen at the same time in the sky of Berne."

Event 21677 (43C1B5CA)

Date: 2/5/1960
Location: Sunset Boulevard and La Brea Avenue in Hollywood, California
Description: 11:15 p.m. Many people see a distinctly round UFO hover and maneuver slowly over or near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and La Brea Avenue in Hollywood, California. Cars are stopped bumper-to- bumper, according to employees of several businesses around the intersection, with people gaping at the object overhead. Persons on hotel and apartment rooftops go out to see a bright “cherry-red, circular light.” Two service- station attendants at the intersection, Jerry Darr and Charles Walker, say that “hundreds of people saw it— everybody was looking” as the light hovers for at least 5 minutes over a busy drive-in. Pen Meyer, another service station attendant a third of a mile to the north, watches it hovering for about 10 minutes. Harold Sherman, his wife, and two others watch it as it resumes motion very slowly eastward. After proceeding east for a distance of a block or two, it veers southeastward and passes out of sight. No sound is heard over street-noise background.

Event 21678 (EDC5B411)

Date: 2/6/1960
Locations: Hollywood, California; Sunset Boulevard and Sycamore Avenue; La Brea Avenue; Sunset and La Brea
Description: 11:15 p.m. The red object reappears over Hollywood, California, this time about one block further east, above Sunset Boulevard and Sycamore Avenue. A number of witnesses observe it hovering for about 10 minutes at an altitude of 500–600 feet. Then with a loud explosion it emits a brilliant bluish-white flash that extends downward and to the west, lighting up the ground all around La Brea Avenue. A mushroom-shaped cloud appears and dissipates. As the red light is extinguished, an object described by most witnesses as long, tubular, and about 70 feet long shoots upwards. A few seconds later, the red light appears about 1,000 feet above Sunset and La Brea for about 8 minutes. It then begins drifting slowly eastward, turns sharply toward the north-northeast, accelerates and climbs steeply, not stopping again until it is at a very high altitude well to the north.

Event 21701 (1A497DB5)

Date: 2/27/1960
Description: NICAP sends photocopies of O’Keefe’s 1959 “UFOs Serious Business” memo to the media and to committees in the House and Senate, calling for congressional hearings. NICAP Board member Rear Adm. Roscoe Hillenkoetter adds a statement: “Behind the scenes, high-ranking AF officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs. But through official secrecy [AFR 200-2] and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” NICAP board member Albert Baller writes: “If the UFOs are believed a threat, it would seem incumbent on the armed forces to waste no time in alerting the people. Any sudden, hostile act against a nation left in relative ignorance could have serious consequences.”

Date: 3/2/1960
Location: Austria, Leibnitz
Description: (Translated from French) Edgar Schedelbauer, a war-wounded reporter, managed to take the most unusual photograph known as the "Leibnitz Spider". He was returning home on his motorcycle at 1:30 in the morning when an illuminated object appeared above the edge of the forest in the east, flew over the clearing, crossed the road and began to loop over the sloping terrain. It also briefly presented its upper part, which had the shape of an overturned bowl, orange in color. The alarming thing approached and remained motionless for 6 or 7 seconds. Schedelbauer, who had thrown his motorcycle into the ditch, clearly felt a thermal radiation and heard a machine noise. Crouching in the ditch, he managed to adjust his camera and capture this extraordinary moment on film. Suddenly, the hovering object above his head emitted a whistle similar to that of a jet engine, rose and quickly moved away to the east. The next day, Schedelbauer hoped to get a good price for his adventure...

They are similar to phenomena he has seen before, but these objects reverse direction completely. One of his plates shows a third object. The CIA takes note of this and another mystery satellite viewed by a Swedish airplane and reported in Dagens Nyheter, March 8.

Event 21739 (44EED27D)

Date: 4/1960
Location: FRANCE, Puy du Dôme
Description: (Translated from French) Or early May. M. Germain Tichit, a baker, was kneading dough around 2 o'clock in the morning. He heard an unusual noise at the same time he saw flashes of all colors through the window. He went to the doorstep and in the middle of the sloping field was an object in the shape of a spinning top, 10 to 15 m in diameter and 5 m high. The central pivot looked like a bellows that inflated to give the object a horizontal plate on the sloping ground. A metallic cutting sound on top of the noise of the object itself caused a staircase to lower beneath the right side of the object and a small humanoid descended the three steps, stepped onto the ground and advanced. The small being was well built, rather handsome, wearing small boots, dressed in tight trousers and a jacket buttoned in front, gray-green in color, and wearing a helmet similar to that of a fireman of the same color as the jacket. He had a curved saber in a scabbard on his right side, the handle clearly visible. A real whirlwind blew under the object, a kind of hot, stinging wind which M. Tichit felt on his left cheek. The witness advanced towards the creature with the intention of capturing it. The dwarf pilot saw him and pointed a long tube at him which emitted an intense light. The witness then experienced difficulty breathing, bent forward, hands in front of his face, and continued to advance. The being seemed to be frightened, turned around, climbed the ladder and disappeared. The craft rose to about thirty meters, with a whistling sound, and then moved horizontally in waves.

Event 21752 (8C42D461)

Date: 4/8/1960
Locations: National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, West Virginia; Soviet Union
Description: Project Ozma, set up only a few days earlier by Frank Drake at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, West Virginia, seems to hit paydirt. As he slews his antenna off Tau Ceti and onto Epsilon Eridani, Drake is greeted with a strong, periodic, pulsed signal on 1420 MHz, the hyperfine transition emission line of interstellar hydrogen atoms proposed for SETI by Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison, and still favored as a promising hailing frequency for interstellar communications. Drake is ready with a second, low-gain antenna. The pulses are there as well, sadly disproving their extraterrestrial origin. But they are not exactly terrestrial interference, either. The rate at which the phantom signal traverses the sky suggests that it is emanating from an aircraft cruising at unprecedented altitude—perhaps 80,000 feet. At the time, no known aircraft can reach the stratosphere. Such an aircraft, as it happens, doesn’t “come into existence” until the following month, when Francis Gary Powers is shot down over the Soviet Union. (Drake wisely decides to withhold publication of this positive result, so he never does receive proper credit for “discovering” the U-2.) The project only lasts through July.

Locations: Pakistan; Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan; Dolon Air Base in Semey, Kazakhstan; SAM test site near Saryshagan, Kazakhstan; Baikonur Cosmodrome near Tyuratam, Kazakhstan; Iranian airstrip at Zahedan
Description: The U-2 spy plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers crosses into the Soviet Union from Pakistan and flies over the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan; the Dolon Air Base in Semey, Kazakhstan; a SAM test site near Saryshagan, Kazakhstan; and the Baikonur Cosmodrome near Tyuratam, Kazakhstan. The plane is detected by Soviet Air Defense Forces but avoids intercepts by a MiG-19 and a Su-9. Powers lands at an Iranian airstrip at Zahedan. A 1994 CIA monograph by Gerald K. Haines, “CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947–90,” claims that “According to later estimates from CIA officials who worked on the U-2 project and the Oxcart (SR-71, or Blackbird) project, over half of all UFO reports from the late 1950s through the 1960s were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights (namely the U-2) over the United States.”

Description: (Translated from French) As part of his OZMA project, Frank Drake pointed the newly-equipped 29.5m diameter receiver of the NRAO at two stars 11 light-years away, listening intently on the 1420 megahertz frequency suggested as ideal by Cocconi and Morrison's paper the previous year. On the first day, Drake thought he had hit the jackpot. Aiming at Epsilon Eridani, he immediately recorded a pulsing signal of clearly artificial origin that lasted only 5 minutes. It is now thought to have been an aircraft flying at very high altitude. (April 11th, 6am)

Description: (Translated from French) In Canada, an astronomer goes with his brother to chase a strange sphere that was reported to him: We got within 100 m of the object. It hovered above a large tree, which was about 35 m tall. The object appeared to be circular in shape and was therefore generally a spheroid. It was intensely bright against the dark sky and it went through all the colors of the spectrum with a period of about 2 s (period quite irregular). The object seemed to examine the tree quite closely. It described circles around the top, staying between 15 and 30 m from the ground, passing in front of the tree, then being clearly visible through the branches when it passed behind again. The witnesses get closer but the craft disappears: It left almost due south and disappeared over the horizon. (2 h)

Event 21839 (0713B812)

Date: 5/19/1960
Locations: Ekuk, Alaska; Dillingham; Wright Patterson AFB
Description: A silver-colored round object, 20–25 feet wide with hanging appendages, hovers 50–100 feet away from Indigenous observers in the village of Ekuk, Alaska, south of Dillingham. It barely clears electric wires 12 feet above the ground. It sucks up two empty five-gallon trashcans and drags them swirling along the ground. It flies between two houses and crosses to the other side of a ridge for 100 yards, drops the trashcans and sucks up some swirling grass, makes a loud sucking sound, then ascends rapidly. Thomas M. Conrow, chief of intelligence at a nearby Air Force Base, interviews the witnesses and concludes that “there still appears to be no logical explanation of the sighting.” At Wright Patterson AFB, Blue Book analysts classify it as a “weather balloon with a radar reflector,” even though it is traveling against the wind.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 00:15 the driver, with her husband asleep next to her in the car and the two children sleeping in the back, was negotiating a right turn about 24 km from Globe, heading towards California, when she saw a small figure on the right side of the road about 100m ahead. It was as if it was ready to cross, and she let go of the accelerator and the car immediately slowed down as if they were going uphill. Simultaneously, the being faced her, pivoted and ran into the bushes out of the headlights' beam. She stopped abruptly and woke up her husband. The creature was about 90 cm tall, broad shoulders, long arms, dark in color, head shaped like a flattened pumpkin almost. In its head shone two yellow-orange eyes. When it was in profile there was a light radiating beyond its face. She did not see a nose, mouth, or ears. The body was less well defined than the head and she had the impression of hair or fur.

Description: (Translated from French) Observation at 03:30. Beings were seen moving around a landed UFO. Shortly afterwards it was seen flying over the region and disappearing. (Henry DURRANT: "First Investigations on ET Humanoids" - Laffont 1977 - p. 175 and 179) At 3:30 in the morning the witness was returning home with his dog, after a walk in the fields. He saw what he thought were the lights of a car. These lights suddenly becoming bigger and brighter, he hid in the bushes. From this hiding place, he observed, terrified, the coming and going of 6 humanoids around a UFO on the ground. The dog panicked and ran away. After a few minutes the object shot up vertically into the sky. The witness took off running towards his house. He was still surprised to see a searchlight directed downwards, scanning the ground 50 meters from his position.

Description: (Translated from French) At 3 o'clock Carlos Sabinos, 25 years old, and his friend Filipe were out for a walk when they saw an object they took for a car. As they got closer they noticed the craft had a saucer shape and was emitting an unusual and bright light. They hid behind a mound and were able to observe six small beings who were moving around the disc. Later they entered the vehicle which soon rose vertically and quickly. (exactly the same story as the one in Portugal on the same date???) The two men left their hiding place to run towards their house, but while they were running the craft reappeared and swept the ground with an intense beam of light.

Event 21867 (B22747C0)

Date: 6/12/1960
Locations: Quebec; St. Lawrence River; Les Écureuils; Quebec City, Quebec; Japan; Ottawa; Sorel, Quebec; Ohio; Colorado; Montreal; Canada
Description: 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. Following a sonic boom above Quebec, a fiery object falls from the sky from an altitude of 1,000–2,000 feet and splits into two pieces that fall into the St. Lawrence River near Les Écureuils, about 20 miles upriver from Quebec City, Quebec. A beachcomber runs across the pieces, one closer to the shore and visible at low tide, the other one further out and mostly submerged. He retrieves a smaller piece (800 pounds) and sells it to a scrap-metal dealer, who fails to recognize it as ferrous and possibly ships it to Japan. The other piece is picked up by the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment [now DRDC Valcartier] near Quebec City. Wilbert Smith’s Ottawa Flying Saucer Club \[later the Ottawa New Sciences Club\] tells its members that the material is high-strength metal that is 6 feet in diameter and 2 feet thick at the center with an embedded tube, an “electronic potting can,” and a transistor. CARDE’s analysis is said to have revealed an alloy with a high manganese content, although it was identified as the “normal product of a foundry, consisting of slag with semi- molten scrap embedded in it,” likely coming from Sorel Iron Foundries in Sorel, Quebec. Smith rejects those findings and and conducts his own tests (although he is an electrical engineer and not a metallurgist) on a chunk the club retrieves from the river around July 1, supposedly engaging in a “tremendous amount of detective work on this metal.” In November 1961, Smith tells Ohio UFO researchers C. W. Fitch and George Popovitch: “We are speculating that what we have is a portion of a very large device which came into this solar system…we don’t know when…but it had been in space a long time before it came to Earth; we can tell by the micrometeorites embedded in the surface. But we don’t know whether it was a few years ago—or a few hundred years ago.” In June 1968, the Colorado project’s Roy Craig is in Ottawa and offers to examine the club’s chunk of metal because they had offered it to Condon a year earlier. Craig obligingly takes a piece with him but does not analyze it since there is no connection to a UFO and it looks like foundry slag anyway. Later, the Montreal UFO Society’s Ronald Anstee has a piece of it analyzed by an independent metallurgist, who finds that the composition “does not correspond to any known commercial manganese steel.” In September 1967, Eric Smith of the Canada Department of Energy, Mines, and Resources visits the Ottawa club and examines their large artifact, but fails to report back. In 1969, the National Research Council’s Peter Millman takes a look and is convinced that it is ordinary manganese steel from the Sorel plant.

Event 21868 (2D0C1684)

Date: Summer 1960
Description: (Translated from French) In Walkerton (Ontario), 5 policemen observe and pursue for 1 hour in 2 cars a small object of about 1 m in diameter. The policemen in radio liaison try to follow a nocturnal light that moves at low altitude, along various country roads, then the light stops near a large tree, in the middle of a cultivated field, and the policemen's cars arrive at a distance of less than 100 m from this tree. The witnesses observe for a long time with caution then try to approach on foot: It hovered above a large tree, which rose alone in the middle of a cultivated field. We were about 100 m from the tree, which was about 35 m high. The object, which subtended an angle of about 1/4 °, which implies a real diameter less than 0.90 m, appeared circular in shape and was therefore probably a spheroid. It was intensely bright against the dark background of the sky and it passed through all the colors of the spectrum with a fairly irregular period of about 2 s. Given its brightness, I may have slightly overestimated its angular dimension and 1/4 ° should perhaps be considered a maximum. The minimum estimate would certainly be 1/8 °. The object seemed to examine the tree quite closely. It described circles around the top, standing between 15 and 30 m from the ground, passing in front of the tree, then clearly visible through the branches when it passed behind. We watched it continue this apparent "reconnaissance" of the tree for several minutes. It moved deliberately and intentionally in its inspection of the tree, making short stops at points of interest and giving a distinct impression of intelligent behavior. Then, as we absolutely wanted to photograph it, we crossed the fence and slowly approached the tree, on the side facing West. We had barely gone 3 m when it "noticed" us and, with a powerful and silent acceleration, it left almost due south and disappeared over the horizon, with a slightly ascending trajectory, and 2.5 s approximately, without any noise. I believe that one can rely on my evaluation of distances and times because at the time I did a lot of athletics and was therefore well trained in this respect. Even taking into account the exceptional circumstances, these figures are probably accurate to within 20% (Summer, 2 h)

Date: Summer 1960
Location: Walkerton, Ontario
Description: 2:00 a.m. Two brothers are alerted by their journalist brother about an elusive UFO that local police in Walkerton, Ontario, have been pursuing for about an hour. They drive out along country roads until they get within 300 feet of the object, which is hovering around a large tree. The object is circular and apparently about 3 feet in diameter. It is very bright and changes color repeated. It then circles the tree purposefully for several minutes. The brothers climb a fence and approach it, but the UFO suddenly accelerates and disappears to the south.

He hears a noise like an aircraft approaching and something bounces and hits the surface of the lake about 1,700 feet behind him. Person sees an object 4–6 feet wide with arms or spokes is rotating rapidly in the water, but gradually slows down and stops spinning. When his partner arrives, they get into a canoe and travel to the impact area. They find an area of burned grass and another area where grass it cut up in small pieces. They use a pole to probe the lake bottom and find a channel that is one foot deeper at one end and three feet deeper at the other, RCMP Cpl. Matheson flies to the lake in a seaplane on July 19 and August 15 and finds the impact area as Person has described but no submerged object.

Event 21873 (820A8366)

Date: 6/22/1960
Description: A strange flying object struck Clan Lake, which is located some 30 miles north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada at around 6 p.m. About 20-25 minutes after a airplane had dropped off witness C. T. Wright, he heard a noise that sounded like a large plane in the distance. The noise got louder but he could not see anything in the sky. He then heard something strike the water behind him and saw an object with arms or spokes rotating in the water. It was rotating very rapidly and throwing water, but gradually it began to spin less and finally stopped. It was about 1700 feet away from him. When his partner arrived they took a canoe and went over to the shallow spot in the lake where the object hit the water. There was grass about 18 inches high were the object hit and it appeared to be burnt and cut up over an area of 20 feet by 60 feet. They felt around in the water with their paddles where the floor of the lake was very much disturbed and muddy, and one to three feet deeper than the surrounding lake proper. The object looked to be about 4-6 feet wide. Mr. Wright did not see any steam when the object hit the water. He and his partner went back to the location on two more occasions but could find nothing.

Event 21877 (29ECF70D)

Date: 7/1960
Location: Canada, Chapais (Abitibi)
Description: (Translated from French) Three workers were inspecting and repairing the Canadian National Railway at a place called Sub-Anville, in the Chapais region. Mr. Georges Godbout, a man in his fifties, communicated this case to us which he witnessed with his two companions. (...) The railway workers were hard at work. Suddenly a shrill noise rises, amplifies, to the point where the men feel unwell. (...) It is then that they see, 300 m in front of them, an object advancing on the railway track. It is dazzling like a well-polished metal that shines in the sun. As only one train passes per day, the men are perplexed. (...) Suddenly the object moves away from the track and hovers a few meters above an inaccessible savannah where it stops and stays a few meters from the ground. The men, disturbed by the noise, "a whirring of a top", can see its profile. It is an object in the shape of a top of a metallic green, throwing off luminous flashes. (...) An opening appears in front of the astonished witnesses and a kind of small ladder is placed on the threshold of the craft. A "being" well proportioned advances and descends about three rungs. He wears a fitting, greenish uniform. He is about 1 m 60 tall. His head is covered with a helmet that encloses it, and on his face there is a mask like that of a basketball referee. When he comes out he casts a circular glance, but his head does not seem to be mobile, the whole body turns at the same time. (...) He immediately climbs back up. The object rises with an unbearable noise, it flies over the railway track and moves away a little, rises into the sky and quickly disappears into space. (July 1960)

Event 21914 (FE760E3B)

Date: 8/1960
Location: FRANCE, Meussia
Description: (Translated from French) During the night, around 3 o'clock, the child Jouffroy got up and went to a meadow behind the house. He returned scared having seen a white and luminous phenomenon. Mrs. Grandmottet then got up to accompany him, she also saw the strange phenomenon and thought she heard a strange noise. She returned to the house and asked Mrs. Jouffroy if she had hung out sheets. The three witnesses then noticed that apparently just behind the hedge, a kind of long white rectangle was placed or very close to the ground. They heard a noise of metal and stones being moved. Afraid, the witnesses went back inside. When a little later they looked out the window, everything had disappeared.

Event 21915 (17E3A090)

Date: 8/1960
Location: FRANCE, Brittany
Description: (Translated from French) At around 3pm, G.P., a merchant from Dijon, was driving a truck with two employees in the center of Brittany. Suddenly, they saw on the road, about 100 meters ahead of them, three figures about 2 meters tall, wearing khaki scuba suits with some kind of helmet on their heads, who immediately turned around. The truck accelerated to about 60 km/h to catch up to them, but they moved faster above the ground and disappeared into an opening in the hedge on the side of the road. When they arrived at this spot, the passengers of the truck saw a saucer about 4 meters high, about fifteen meters above the ground. It rose and disappeared in a few seconds into the sky. Its diameter was about ten meters according to the circle of scorched grass it had imprinted on the ground.

Location: FRANCE, Noulle - Difques
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Hiot were driving from Noulle to Morhinghem around 0:30. Their father-in-law noticed a distant light, and as they left Moulle, they saw a red ball the apparent size of the moon. The object crossed the road obliquely, 3 or 4 meters in front of the car and 2 meters from the ground, forcing the driver to brake suddenly. Then the 5-6 meter wide phenomenon, with a bright red light radiating from a kind of half-sphere larger than a horse-drawn carriage wheel at the base of the object, accompanied them for a kilometer. As they arrived at the first houses, it seemed to go out from bottom to top, as if it was veiling itself starting from the bottom. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 243) Near the hamlet of Difques, two witnesses were followed for more than a kilometer by a red luminous ball. A silhouette was visible inside. (?????) The ball gradually went out from bottom to top.

Description: 3:10 p.m. Ray Hawks is operating a farm tractor at Left Hand Canyon near Altona, Colorado, when he hears a muffled explosion. Looking up, he watches a disc dropping vertically out of the cloud cover. It stops in midair about 650 feet away from him and 200 feet above the ground, wobbling a bit. When it stabilizes, he sees it looks like two concave discs joined together at the rim and dull aluminum in color. Bluish smoke is issuing from an apparent gap in its surface. An electric hum seems to come from inside the object. The section where the smoke is issuing is withdrawn inside, and a new section appears to replace it, settling in with a click. The hum increases in intensity, and the object appears to be surrounded by a heat haze. It then shoots up into the clouds and vanishes.

Event 21986 (48149EDF)

Date: 8/25/1960
Location: Bethpage, Long Island, New York
Description: The “dark satellite” is seen and photographed five times by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation at Bethpage, Long Island, New York. It is supposed to be three times faster than the Echo 1 satellite and travels east to west in a retrograde orbit, rather than west to east. Its inclination to the equator is about 135°. The color of the object varies from “carrot to straw.” The Grumman observers estimate that the object is in an eccentric orbit with an apogee of as much as 4,200 miles and a perigee of about 300 miles. They immediately produce a proposal to the US Air Force to share data in the hopes of plotting a firm orbit for the mystery satellite.

Wolf (D-Iowa) makes a statement in the House on NICAP’s “Dangers of Secrecy on UFOs” report, saying that it is “imperative to end the risk of accidental war from defense forces’ confusion over UFOs.” He mentions NICAP board member Adm. Roscoe Hillenkoetter’s request that “Congress inform the public as to the facts.” Based on a there-year NICAP study, Wolf states that all defense personnel “should be told that the UFOs are real and should be trained to distinguish them—by their characteristic speeds and maneuvers— from conventional planes and missiles…. The American people must be convinced, by documented facts, that the UFOs could not be Soviet machines.”

Event 22002 (669ED15D)

Date: 9/1960
Locations: New York City; Cuba
Description: CIA officer Richard M. Bissell Jr. and DCI Allen W. Dulles initiate talks with two leading figures of the Mafia, Johnny Roselli and Sam Giancana. Later, other crime bosses such as Carlos Marcello, Santo Trafficante Jr., and Meyer Lansky become involved in the first plot against Fidel Castro. The strategy is managed by Sheffield Edwards. Robert Maheu, a veteran of CIA counterespionage activities, is instructed to hire the Mafia to kill Castro. The advantage of employing the Mafia for this work is that it provides the CIA with a credible cover story. The Mafia are known to be angry with Castro for closing their profitable brothels and casinos in Cuba. On September 14, Maheu meets with Roselli in a New York City hotel and offers him $150,000 for the “removal” of Castro. James O’Connell, who identifies himself as Maheu’s associate but is really the chief of the CIA’s operational support division, is present during the meeting. Declassified documents do not reveal if Roselli, Giancana, or Trafficante accept a down payment for the job. According to CIA files, it is Giancana who suggests poison pills to add to Castro’s food or drinks. Such pills, manufactured by the CIA’s Technical Services Division, are given to Giancana’s nominee named Juan Orta. Giancana recommends him as being an official in the Cuban government with access to Castro. Allegedly, after several unsuccessful attempts to introduce the poison into Castro’s food, Orta abruptly demands to be let out of the mission, handing over the job to another unnamed participant. Later, a second attempt is mounted through Giancana and Trafficante using Tony Varona, the leader of the Cuban Exile Junta, who has, according to Trafficante, become “disaffected with the apparent ineffectual progress of the Junta.” Varona requests $10,000 in expenses and $1,000 worth of communications equipment. However, it is unknown how far the second attempt goes, as it is canceled due to the launching of the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

Locations: US Highway 1 in Westbrook, Connecticut; Long Island, New York; Chalker Beach in Old Saybrook, Connecticut
Description: 11:30 p.m. Richard Ireton and his wife are driving on US Highway 1 in Westbrook, Connecticut, when they notice what seems to be an aircraft about to crash. It veers close to the shore and the Iretons drive to the beach to look for it. They see a triangular-shaped object flying silently at the speed of a Piper Cub airplane, alternately hovering and moving horizontally and vertically. When it reaches the public beach, it takes off at great speed toward Long Island, New York. They see a similar object the next evening around 9:30 p.m. at Chalker Beach in Old Saybrook, Connecticut.

Description: A formation of UFOs is detected by the new Ballistic Missile Early Warning System at Thule Site J in Greenland. The objects appear to be heading directly toward North America from the direction of Russia. Within seconds, Strategic Air Command headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, scrambles the crews of B-52 bombers armed with nuclear warheads to prepare a retaliatory strike. But at the last moment checks reveal that the objects are spurious radar echoes. Unusual atmospheric conditions create phantoms on the BMEWS that cannot be seen by other radars.

Tacker says he wrote the book Flying Saucers and the US Air Force because “I felt the Air Force was being set upon by Maj. Keyhoe, NICAP, and other hobby groups who believe in spaceships as an act of pure faith.” Keyhoe repeatedly challenges Tacker, whose statements ring hollow, and even Garroway asks Tacker pointed questions and coolly notes Tacker’s apparent ignorance of basic physics. The show generates numerous phone calls and letters to NBC, most of them critical of the Air Force.

Event 22126 (04222B28)

Date: 12/14/1960
Location: Washington, D.C.
Description: The Brookings Research Institute in Washington, D.C., releases a 186-page report prepared for NASA titled Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs. It is later published as a 272-page Committee Print for the House Committee on Science and Astronautics on March 24, 1961. The report includes a section on “Implications of a Discovery of Extraterrestrial Life.” It is sent to the House Committee on Science and Astronautics for approval by Rep. Overton Brooks (D-La.) and discusses the effects of meeting extraterrestrial life: “It is possible that if the intelligence of these creatures were sufficiently superior to ours, they would choose to have little if any contact with us.” It also speculates on the possibility of finding alien artifacts on earth and the possibility that contact might result in social disintegration.

Event 22127 (D09E7B48)

Date: 12/14/1960
Locations: Leningrad [now St. Petersburg]; Moscow; Kaliningrad; Hiroshima
Description: The first Single Integrated Operational Plan, titled SIOP-62, is completed. It describes a massive strike with the entire US arsenal of 3,200 warheads, totaling 7847 megatons, against Russia, China, and Soviet-aligned states with urban and other targets being hit simultaneously. Nine weapons are to be “laid down” on four targets in Leningrad [now St. Petersburg], 23 weapons on six target complexes in Moscow, and 18 on seven target areas in Kaliningrad. Weapons scientist George W. Rathjens looks through SAC’s atlas of Soviet cities, searching for the town that most closely resembles Hiroshima in size and industrial concentration. When he finds one that roughly matches, he asks how many bombs the SIOP “laid down” on that city. The reply: one 4.5 megaton bomb and three more 1.1 megaton weapons in case the big bomb is a dud. The execution of SIOP-62 is estimated to result in 285 million dead and 40 million casualties in the Soviet Union and China. Presented with all the facts and figures, USAF Gen. Thomas D. White finds the plan “splendid.” Disregarding the human aspect, SIOP-62 represents an outstanding technological achievement.

Date: 12/26/1960
Location: FRANCE, Canteleu (Seine Maritime)
Description: (Translated from French) At around two in the morning, the two witnesses were riding bicycles. A few meters from the road, they saw a round or oval, metallic, very shiny, aluminum-colored object. One of them fled in panic, but the other observed the object with four feet resting in the snow. A kind of articulated arm equipped with a light emerged from the craft, and its blue-violet beam, 15 cm in diameter, was directed at the witness's face, immobilizing him. He saw a hatch open, letting out a bright light jet and an indistinct shadow entering the cabin. The module rose, causing a snow whirlwind. After the object had moved away, the witness was again free to move and returned home. The next day, at the landing site, the ground was charred in a diameter of 4 meters and four 30 cm deep and 40 cm in diameter holes were discovered. (...) 22 years later, in 1982, LDLN investigators revisiting the case, the witness was unable to approach the landing site. (...)

Event 22142 (1BC9D670)

Date: 1961
Location: USSR, Baikonour
Description: (Translated from French) The craft, "Venusik" (643 kg) loaded with scientific equipment, was taken aboard Spoutnik VIII and placed in a circumterrestrial orbit at an altitude of 200 km. From there it was launched towards Venus in the opposite direction of the Earth's movement, with a speed of 27.7 km/second relative to the Sun. Then radio contact was lost and no more was heard from the messenger. (continued 25.2.61) ("Astronautics", Pierre Rousseau, Hachette 1965, p. 56) The Venusik probe was sent with the mission of exploring Venus. Launched with remarkable precision, using the technique of a stopover in a terrestrial orbit, this craft has refused to give news since February 27, 1961 and the failure of the transmitter deprived the Russians, for once, of a "first" that the Americans brilliantly achieved the following year with their craft "Mariner II"

Date: 1961 (approximate)
Location: GERMANY, Timmendorf
Description: (Translated from French) A disc is said to have fallen in this village. The British Army was reportedly the first on the scene, setting up a security cordon to prevent access. Photos were said to have been taken. The object fell on soft ground with little damage, but buried itself a third of the way into the ground. Soon the British were joined by the Russians. Inside the object were 12 small corpses. Photos were also taken of these creatures, as well as during the autopsies. For some of them it was evident that they were not capable of procreation. They seemed to have been made on a production line, all of the same model. They had no digestive system. The disc was reportedly cut into 6 pieces, like a cake, for shipment to the USA to Wright Patterson.. (1961, unspecified date)

Date: 1961
Locations: Sverdlovsk, Russia; Kurgan
Description: An Antonov AN-2P mail biplane takes off from an airfield at or near Sverdlovsk, Russia, bound for Kurgan with seven people on board. About 80–100 miles from Sverdlovsk, the aircraft disappears from the radar screen. Ground control cannot regain contact, so a search is launched with helicopters and troops. The aircraft is found in a small clearing in a dense forest, completely intact. The authorities state that it looks like it was placed there gently from above. All the mail is intact, and there is no sign of anyone on board. No marks or footprints are seen. A 100-foot wide, clearly defined circle of scorched grass and depressed earth is found at a distance of 328 feet from the plane. A report by the Moscow Aviation Institute claims that a UFO was tracked on radar at the control tower and that strange radio signals were hear at the time of the disappearance.

It hovers for 5–15 minutes, only about 300 feet away from a young mining engineer. It is round and glowing, with windows on the upper part. The engineer gets a look at it through his theodolite, but it still looks fuzzy. The object reappears throughout the day, allowing all the mine workers (about 70) to view it. The following day it follows a supply truck for several hours as it exits the mine heading south over a dirt track.

A few minutes later, a brilliant metallic disc like polished blue steel swoops down and passes dangerously close above the hood of the truck. The truck rises a few feet into the air and overturns in the direction taken by the object, falling in a sandbank with its wheels in the air. The object ascends and is lost to view in a few seconds. Pisani stops his jeep to assist, but fortunately the lone driver has only a few scratches.

Date: 1/10/1961
Location: Cape Canaveral, Florida
Description: A US Navy A-1 Polaris missile is launched from a ground pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida. A disc, whose diameter is close to the length of the Polaris, alters its tracking, but does not block the missile firing, since the tracking system continues to follow the object and later returns to again to track the Polaris downrange. The diameter of the disc is approximately 20–25 feet and it is about 6–8 feet thick at its center. It is visually lost to ground observers and the primary witness (Clark C. McClelland, with 10x50 binoculars) as it continues downrange. The original investigation is conducted by McClelland and his Florida NICAP subcommittee.

Event 22179 (C8C939E7)

Date: 1/17/1961
Locations: Élisabethville [now Lubumbashi]; Democratic Republic of the Congo; Katanga
Description: DRC Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba is executed by firing squad near Élisabethville [now Lubumbashi], Democratic Republic of the Congo. CIA Station Chief Larry Devlin has helped direct the search to capture Lumumba for his transfer to his enemies in Katanga, he is involved in arranging Lumumba’s transfer there, and he is in direct touch with the killers the night Lumumba is killed. The Congolese leaders who kill Lumumba, including Mobutu Sese Seko and Joseph Kasa-Vubu, receive money and weapons directly from the CIA. John Stockwell writes in 1978 that a CIA agent had the body in the trunk of his car in order to try to get rid of it. Stockwell, who knows Devlin well, feels Devlin knows more than anyone else about the murder. However, documents released in 2017 reveal that the US role in Lumumba’s murder was only under consideration by the CIA and never carried out.

Event 22199 (39E4B968)

Date: 2/1961
Locations: Karelia, Russia; Leningrad; St. Petersburg
Description: Forester Vasili Brodski finds a mysterious crater 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 10 feet deep on the bank of a frozen lake in Karelia, Russia. It had not been there two days earlier. The base is remarkably smooth, and around the edge are lumps of grass and soil but no trace of the excavated dirt. Six investigators from Leningrad [now St. Petersburg] arrive and find odd, crumbling black pellets on the edge of the lake. Divers discover a 330- foot strip where the soil has been displaced along the floor of the lake, as if something slid along the ground and submerged, ploughing up the soil. Geologist Vsevolod Charmov examines ice, water, and soil samples but cannot explain a green discoloration on some of the submerged pieces of broken ice. The pellets seem to be an inorganic substance.

Unidentified shapes with green, yellow, and red lights hover over Brunswick, then dart away with ‘unbelievable quickness.’ Strange things are happening. . . The military had us just about convinced that no such objects existed. The only trouble was that many people—good, reliable observers— continued to see these things.”

Description: 8:45 p.m. Mr. F. Reynolds and his 15-year-old son Lloyd are camped in their trailer 900 feet from the Murray River, at Bowna, New South Wales, when they see what appears to be a huge trailer with four windows and a red light at the end standing by the water. A fire is visible to the right of the object, and they can see four figures moving quickly between the object and the fire. Reynolds watches through binoculars and sees the entire array moving sideways in a jerking manner. After 45 minutes, it is all gone from sight. In the morning they can find no traces on the soft mud flat.

Date: 3/17/1961
Description: USAF ATIC is asked by the House Armed Services Subcommittee how the USAF can improve UAP sightings. ATIC states the best solution is to give its primary advisor J. Allen Hynek a raise of $1,000 per year and purchase one new polaroid camera and one new geiger counter for field work. It also recommends raising the count of commissioned officers working on UAP from 1 to 2.

Note: It is questionable that these meager improvements were the best the USAF could do in response to the Congressional inquiry.

Event 22253 (9DFDF191)

Date: Spring 1961
Description: (Translated from French) In Millville (New Jersey), two flirting witnesses in a car parked in a discreet location observe a nocturnal light: What caught my attention was the way the light moved... it shone without emitting any sound. It was much brighter than any star in the sky... As it moved slowly towards the North, I first thought it was a weather balloon reflecting the light of the Sun. Only balloons don't stop, don't change direction, don't do reverse... Both of us watched the thing's gambols... Finally, after 5 good minutes, from where it was, far to the South, it went straight to the North, it disappeared in about 5 seconds. I know, I timed it. The observation lasted in total 7 minutes.

Event 22274 (7A6C1AFD)

Date: 4/18/1961
Location: USA, Eagle River
Description: (Translated from French) At around 11am Joe Simonton was drawn by a curious sound of studded tires on a wet pavement. He went into the yard and saw a silver saucer-shaped object, brighter than chrome, hovering close to the ground. The object was 12 feet high and thirty feet in diameter. An opening appeared about 5 feet from the ground and Simonton saw three men inside the craft. One was wearing a two-piece black suit. They were about 5 feet tall, clean-shaven, and resembled Italians: black hair, swarthy skin. Their shirt was trimmed with a turtleneck collar and they wore woolen caps. One of the men lifted a pot apparently made of the same material as the craft and it seemed to Simonton that he was asking for water. Simonton took the pot, filled it. On his return, one of the men was cooking food on some kind of flame-less grill. The inside of the craft was black like raw iron. He could make out panels for instruments and heard a sound like that of a generator. When he made a gesture indicating he was interested in the prepared food, one of the men, also dressed in black but with a narrow red braid on his trousers, handed him three small cakes about 3 inches in diameter with small holes in them. All this had lasted about 5 minutes. The man closest to the witness fastened some kind of belt to a hook on his clothing and closed the opening. The object rose 20 feet and headed south causing such a gust of wind that the pines bent.

Event 22275 (DB4DF93B)

Date: 4/18/1961
Description: (Translated from French) Joe Simonton, a farmer from Wisconsin, hears a noise outside his house and notices a curious chrome-colored craft hovering close to the ground. As he approaches, he sees through an opening 3 figures with tanned skin and black hair. One is busy with the controls of a dashboard, while the other seems to be cooking something on a flame-less stove. Having spotted Simonton, one of the creatures hands him a kind of bucket, gesturing that it wants water. The farmer complies. As a thank you, and since Simonton shows interest in what is being cooked, the pilot of the craft gives him 4 cakes. Finally, the hatch closes and the craft flies south, causing a gust of wind that bends the trees. The observation lasted 5 minutes, no more. Simonton eats one of the cakes and finds it tastes like cardboard. The USAF has one of the cakes analyzed --- as part of the official UFO study program --- and the report concludes that the ingredients do not come from another planet, and that the farmer must have been daydreaming.

Description: 11:00 a.m. Joe Simonton hears a whining sound on his farm four miles from Eagle River, Wisconsin, and sees a silvery object, 30 feet in diameter and 12 feet high, with exhaust pipes around the periphery, land nearby. A door opens and a man appears, about 5 feet tall and wearing a black, turtle-neck pullover with a white band at the belt, and black trousers with a vertical white band along the side. Two other figures are visible inside. The creature is holding a metallic jug and making gestures suggesting he wants a drink. Simonton takes the jug into his basement, fills it with water, and returns it to the man. Simonton notices one man frying on a flameless grill and motions for some food. Simonton receives four ordinary pancakes or cookies, 3 inches in diameter, perforated with small holes. The object takes off after 5 minutes. Simonton gives one of the pancakes to Judge Frank Wellington Carter, who then passes it on to the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena; another he gives to J. Allen Hynek for Project Blue Book; and the third he keeps for himself. A thorough analysis is performed on one of the pancakes by the US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the food is found to be made of terrestrial but tasteless ingredients, including hydrogenated oil and buckwheat flour. The Air Force concludes that Simonton is honest but has mistakenly conflated the reality of his breakfast with a dream.

Event 22280 (2DA189BB)

Date: 4/18/1961
Description: Mr. Paul Simonton, a Chicken farmer in Eagle River, Wisconsin saw a disc-shaped carft land vertically on his farm. A hatch opened, and when he approached he saw three human-looking men inside. They asked him for some water. They appeared to be cooking pancakes on a griddle, and in exchange for the water they gave him four of the pancakes from griddle. The men were described as five feet tall with dark hair. They wore blue knit outfits and helmets. The newspapers had a field day with this report, but private UFO investigators who interviewed Mr. Simonton found him to be sincere and his story uncomplicated.

Date: 4/27/1961
Description: On this morning a bluish green oval object, the size of a jetliner, landed on Lake Onega in Karelia, Russia and broke through the ice. It was heading toward the east when it came down and created a trench 50 feet long and 10 feet deep in the lake bed. There was a great deal of disturbed mud, and odd fragments were also found at the site. The sample residue was analyzed and showed the presence of the elements magnesium, aluminum, calcium, barium, and titanium. There were at least 25 witnesses to the crash landing.

Event 22295 (8F8A4388)

Date: 4/28/1961
Location: USSR, Korb-Ozéro (Karelia)
Description: (Translated from French) Around 9 pm, forest guard Vassili Brodski was walking along the 600 m long and 150 m wide frozen lake without seeing anything out of the ordinary. The next morning he walked back and found a stretched out ditch that started on the high bank and disappeared into the lake through a huge hole in the ice: the earth that had been excavated to make this 27 m long, 15 m wide and 3 m deep ditch was nowhere to be found: yet it was about 1000 cubic meters. He informed the military authorities who arrived with their equipment a week later. The submerged part of the broken floating ice was green. On the shore the military found grains of a black material that crumbled between their fingers. Upon analysis they seemed to come from a metal that had been heated as if for welding. (Boris CHOURINOV: "The two faces of ufology in Russia" - May 1994, p. 6 and 7) On the morning of April 27, a group of twenty-five hunters and foresters saw an unknown aerial object descend and crash into the ground near a bend where a stream emptied. According to the witnesses it could have been 8 or 10 in the morning. The object was oval-shaped, as big as a long-haul plane and shone with a gray-blue light. It was flying at low altitude and at high speed. It was heading east to west when the crash occurred near the north shore of the lake. There was a loud noise like a strong explosion. (...) [note from vog: this contradicts what the Russian Chourinov says?]

Event 22296 (434C67A2)

Date: 4/28/1961
Description: (Translated from French) In Karelia (USSR), a forest guard, Vassili Brodski, noticed an enormous pit (27m long, 15m wide and 3m deep) leading to the frozen lake of Korb, on the south cliff side, as if it had been breached, and which had not been there the night before at 9pm. The loggers of the region had seen nothing, heard nothing. A striking object seemed to have dug the cliff, the ice and the bottom of the lake, creating a 1000m^3^ pit swallowing the frozen ground, pushing the ice into the bottom and advancing 20m on the bottom pushing a 1.5m ridge of muddy earth and then coming out in reverse. The object was not seen but left fragments of many metals. The broken ice pieces were of an emerald green whose nature and origin no analysis could explain. Strange black grains collected on the shore revealed a metallic chemical composition so complex that it could only be obtained by operations at very high temperatures; they resisted the action of acids. It was concluded that these grains had a non-organic and probably non-natural origin. Since then, the vegetation inside the pit is inexplicably lush but, in spite of so many enigmas, the research was not pursued, because the phenomenon is not dangerous to man. (April 28th, 8am)

Date: 5/1961
Location: US
Description: In the May issue of “Fate” magazine, Master Sgt. O.D. Hill admits that we are still losing Air Force planes to UFOs. The first case was an F-86 jet fighter that was sent aloft to investigate an UFO that had been plotted on the Radar scope of an Air Base (name and dates classified). The Radar Operator spied the UFO heading straight for the craft. The operator radioed for the F-86 to climb at once, but it was too late. The two blips merged as one and the UFO was tracked moving away. Classified as “mysterious” not a single shred of the F-86 was ever found. (ref. Kinross AFB where an F-89 with crew of two merged with an UFO and disappeared.-Donald Keyhoe) Second Case: A radar operator was tracking a transport plane carrying 26 persons aboard when, suddenly, another blip appeared on the screen closing at 2500 mph on the transport. Before the operator could warn the transport the two blips emerged as one. The remaining blip sped straight up at tremendous speed. A surface search in the vicinity revealed no oil slicks on the water, although a Generals’ briefcase was found floating around.

Event 22315 (5A08DB58)

Date: 5/10/1961
Locations: Osakis, Minnesota; rural road south of Osakis, Minnesota
Description: Late evening. Richard Vogt, driving on a rural road south of Osakis, Minnesota, sees a “ball of fog approximately 3 feet in diameter” swiftly descending toward him at a 45° angle from a clear sky. Unable to take evasive action, Vogt can only stare as the object hits the upper part of his hood and windshield. The noisy impact generates a tremendous amount of heat; the windshield becomes extremely hot to the touch. The object leaves pit marks burned in the windshield, circular tracks on the glass, and burned specks in the finish of the hood.

Description: (Translated from French) Four people were chatting in the boat, engine stopped, off the Italian coast. Suddenly they were shaken by waves of increasing amplitude. They then saw the water swell into an enormous bubble 1 km away from them. A strange object in the shape of an overturned plate topped with a cone emerged from this bubble of water as if the object was pushing the water away, as if it was surrounded by an air cushion. Once out of the water it stopped for a few seconds at about ten meters from the surface, forming a halo around its base. Then it left at a lightning speed. (June 3, 1961)

Event 22357 (061638AC)

Date: 6/3/1961
Description: In the sea off the town of Savona, Italy four people who were taking a ride in a small motorboat were suddenly rocked by growing waves. They stood up and noticed the sea swell up like an enormous bubble a kilometer away, with large waves widening into a circle. A few seconds later an object emerged and hovered at 10 meters altitude above the waves for a brief time. Its lower part was similar to an upside down plate and the upper part was shaped like a cone. As it was emerging from the water the object seemed to push it as if there was an air pillow. After it had emerged completely, the object stopped for a few seconds in the air at about 10 meters above the surface. After a few sways, a mark around the base formed and the object rapidly departed following a trajectory oblique to the sea surface and disappeared towards the northeast.

Description: 2:30 a.m. Patrolman Jaime de Miranda and Astrogildo de Medeiros are called to the scene of a sighting on the Rodovia Anchieta highway 30 miles northwest of Santos, São Paulo, Brazil. When they arrive, they find about 20 cars stopped along the road and people watching a luminous disc-shaped object maneuvering in the area. The patrolmen try to signal the object by shining a spotlight on it, but they get no response. When they focus a red light on it, the object moves toward the cars at high speed. They take cover. Another responder, Marshal José Otavia Leite, is about to shoot at the object but other police prevent him. After 3 hours, the object gets dimmer. At 5:30 a.m., it is still visible through binoculars when it lands on the ground some distance from the highway. By daybreak it is no longer visible.

Date: 6/11/1961
Locations: Fuenteluega Estate; Sevilla, Spain
Description: 11:00 p.m. José-Gregorio Darnaude y Rojas Marcos, 28, is lying in a hammock in the front of his house on the Fuenteluega Estate in Sevilla, Spain, when he feels a peculiar pricking sensation throughout his whole body but particularly in his head. His dogs are cowering, the sheep go completely crazy, and the crickets and cicadas become silent. Suddenly, a luminous disc about 15 feet in diameter appears from behind the house, flying from northeast to southwest. It makes an abrupt 90° turn and moves directly toward him, hovering about 400 feet away from him and 80 feet in the air, changing colors from white to orange to red to purple several times. Darnaude runs inside, but the disc turns bright white and shots away at enormous speed.

Description: Jose Darnaude, age 28, of Villanueva del Rio y Minas, Spain felt a strange prickling sensation all over his body but especially on his head when he next saw a spinning luminous object approach rapidly from the northeast. The disc-shaped UFO dropped down at a 90-degree angle, and stopped to hover at 20-30 meters altitude, 250 meters away. It changed color from white to orange to red to purple to white again. Over a dozen other people witnessed it for several minutes before it rose vertically at great speed and flew towards the southwest. Horses in the area went crazy with fear, sheep broke loose, and dogs cowered in silence. Mr. Darnaude has degrees in law, economics, and business management, and at the time was the manager of his family's agricultural and cattle breeding business, on whose estate the incident occurred.

Event 22373 (83B3C982)

Date: 6/21/1961
Location: USSR, Rybinsk
Description: (Translated from French) A metal object in the shape of a disc, approximately 100 m in diameter, hovered above the Rybinsk anti-aircraft missile launch base north of Moscow. The object, apparently at an altitude of 6000 m, was first detected on radar and then seen with the naked eye. While it remained stationary, smaller discs emerged from the giant object and began to fly over the base at low altitude. The commander gave the order to shoot down the craft. A first series of surface-to-air missiles were launched: the projectiles rose towards the UFO but exploded in the air when they were 2 km away. The UFO remained stationary and intact in the same place. A second attack was ordered, with the same result. Preparations were being made for a third attack when the small discs descended very low and the electricity was cut off, including that supplied by the emergency generator. After ten minutes the small objects rose back up to the large craft, then it disappeared. The electricity then returned normally. (Antonio RIBERA: "Procès aux OVNI" - De Vecchi 1977 - p. 101, 102) (Internet, WUFOC site, which reproduces this account attributing it to Thimoty Good "Above Top Secret" with the comment that Good claims his source is a very serious Italian scientific journal….) Defensive missiles were installed around Moscow. At one of the bases, a radar detected a UFO flying at an altitude of 18000 meters and escorted by smaller UFOs. The commander of the Rybinsk base responded with a salvo of missiles. The escort UFOs descended towards the base, whose electrical equipment then stopped working. The missiles exploded well before reaching their targets. When the UFOs rejoined their mothership, the energy returned to the missile base.

Description: Near Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia, crews are setting up new missile batteries as part of Moscow’s defensive network. A huge disc-shaped object allegedly appears at an estimated altitude of 12.5 miles, surrounded by a number of smaller objects. A nervous battery commander panics and gives unauthorized orders to fire a salvo at the disc. All the missiles explode at an estimated distance of 1.2 miles from the target. A third salvo is not fired, because at that point the smaller objects stall the electrical apparatus of the entire missile base. After the smaller disc rejoin the big UFO, the electrical systems return.

Event 22475 (88ABCD95)

Date: 9/6/1961
Location: Chantilly, Virginia
Description: The National Reconnaissance Office is officially launched with headquarters in Chantilly, Virginia. It designs, builds, launches, and operates the reconnaissance satellites of the federal government, and provides satellite intelligence to several government agencies, particularly signals intelligence (SIGINT) to the National Security Agency, imagery intelligence (IMINT) to the National Geospace-Intelligence Agency, and measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) to the Defense Intelligence Agency. Its existence remains top secret until September 18, 1992. The move creates a protocol that requires the CIA deputy director and the undersecretary of the Air Force to co-manage all space reconnaissance and aerial espionage programs. The public face of the NRO is the Office of Space Systems.

Event 22506 (14828EA9)

Date: 9/19/1961
Location: USA, Whitfield (New Hampshire)
Description: (Translated from French) RR3, around midnight, 2 witnesses, duration: 1 hour. Case: Betty and Barney Hill. Returning from their vacation in Canada, the interracial Hill couple was driving late at night on a deserted road, when they saw a UFO descending. It eventually landed, blocking the road in front of them. They were approached by humanoids. A few hours later the Hills found themselves back on the road, but 55 kilometers away and without any memory of what had happened during that time. This persistent amnesia caused them to experience various physical and psychological problems, and eventually they went to see Dr. Simon, famous for his amnesia cures. Having been put into a hypnotic state several times, each of them separately recounted the facts. Their respective versions were quite precise. They reported that they had been taken aboard the craft, treated well by the occupants, more or less in the way humans treat laboratory animals, and then released after being hypnotically instructed to totally forget their experience. [note from vog: various authors cite Betty Hill, several times afterwards, to observe other UFOs, almost on command, to give UFO lectures, etc... ufobusiness...]

Locations: Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Quebec; US Highway 3; Groveton, New Hampshire; Twin Mountain; Franconia Notch; Old Man of the Mountain; Indian Head (north of Lincoln)
Description: 10:30 p.m. Barney and Betty Hill are driving home to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, from a vacation in Quebec, going south on US Highway 3. Near Groveton, New Hampshire, Betty sees a bright light moving upward and erratically, growing larger. Later, Barney stops the car at a scenic picnic area south of Twin Mountain. Through binoculars, Betty sees a solid object against the moon that “appeared to be flashing thin pencils of different colored lights.” Barney thinks it’s a plane, though it might be “playing games” with them. Barney drives slowly through Franconia Notch, watching the object. At one point it passes near the Old Man of the Mountain. About one mile south of Indian Head (north of Lincoln), the object rapidly descends toward their vehicle, causing Barney to stop in the middle of the highway. The huge, silent craft hovers approximately 80–100 feet above the Hills’ 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air and fills the entire field of view in the windshield. It reminds Barney of a huge pancake. Carrying his pistol in his pocket, he steps away from the vehicle and moves closer to the object. Using the binoculars, Barney claims see about 8–11 humanoid figures who are peering out of the craft’s windows, seeming to look at him. In unison, all but one figure move to what appears to be a panel on the rear wall of the hallway that encircles the front portion of the craft. The one remaining figure continues to look at Barney and communicates a message telling him to “stay where you are and keep looking.” Barney has a recollection of observing the humanoid forms wearing glossy black uniforms and black caps. Red lights on what appears to be bat-wing fins begin to telescope out of the sides of the craft, and a long structure descends from the bottom of the craft. The UFO approaches to within 50–80 feet overhead and 300 feet away from him. Barney tears the binoculars away from his eyes and runs back to his car. In a near hysterical state, he tells Betty, “They’re going to capture us!” He sees the object again shift its location to directly above the vehicle. He drives away at high speed, telling Betty to look for the object. She rolls down the window and looks up. Almost immediately, the Hills hear a rhythmic series of beeping or buzzing sounds which seem to bounce off the trunk of their vehicle. The car vibrates and a tingling sensation passes through them. At this point in time they experience the onset of an altered state of consciousness that leaves their minds dulled. A second series of beeping sounds return them to full consciousness. They find that they have traveled nearly 35 miles south, but have only vague, spotty memories of this section of road. They recall making a sudden, unplanned turn, encountering a roadblock, and observing a fiery orb in the road. At 5:00 a.m., they arrive home, about two hours later than expected. Barney feels compelled to examine his genitals, and they both take long showers. Betty notices a pinkish powder and a tear in her dress. There are shiny, concentric circles on their car’s trunk that were not there the previous day. Betty and Barney experiment with a compass, noting that when they move it close to the spots, the needle whirls rapidly. But when they move it a few inches away from the shiny spots, it drops down.

Event 22517 (54A9760B)

Date: 9/19/1961
Description: In perhaps the most famous UFO abduction story ever reported, Betty and Barney Hill, a biracial married couple active in the Civil Rights movement, were driving home from Montreal to their home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire late on this evening. When they reached Colebrook they noticed a bright lighted object in the sky that seemed to be pacing their car, and they continued to observe it as the drove along a desolate section of U.S. Route 3 through the White Mountains. Around Indian Head, New Hamsphire they stopped by the side of the road to take a closer look, and saw through binoculars a lenticular object with a double row of portholes and half a dozen dark figures working at control panels inside. One of the occupants seemed to stare directly at them. They became frightened and drove away. A "beeping sound" enveloped their car, and they felt a prickling sensation before losing consciousness.

When they came to, they were driving near Ashland, New Hampshire. They arrived home in Portsmouth unable to account for about two hours. A series of nightmares and then a series of hypnosis sessions performed by a psychiatrist in Boston brought back memories of their abduction experience by the occupants of the UFO. They encountered six five-foot-tall entities with large eyes and heads. One acted as their guide or interpreter, and he communicated with them by telepathy. They were separated, stripped for a medical exam during which a needle was inserted in Betty Hill's navel and Barney's dentures were removed and examined. There was also a map of the stars seen at one point, and Betty asked to take an artifact as evidence of their experience, but was refused.

Event 22529 (C7D3AB18)

Date: Autumn 1961
Locations: Neamț Monastery; Târgu Neamț, Romania
Description: Evening. Emanoil Manoliu, son of the prominent novelist Mihail Sadoveanu, is at the Neamț Monastery west of Târgu Neamț, Romania, when he sees a blinding, multicolored light. After a few seconds it rises quickly and he can see it looks like a disc with a concave base about 20–23 feet long and 10 feet broad. It vanishes “like a tornado in the air” and he feels the rush of wind. The next day he goes to the site with a priest and finds an area of singed grass and a light imprint in the soil.

Description: 7:57 a.m. The radar operator on a USAF Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft off the California coast spots five targets on his scope. Four of the objects are on a heading of 90°, and all of them are moving at a high rate of speed. They soon disappear into sea clutter. Three minutes later, two objects appear heading 70° then also disappear into sea clutter. The speed of one of the objects is measured at about 2,070 mph over a distance of 230 miles. While the two objects are on the scope, a single stationary object also appears. After remaining stationary for about two minutes, it moves on a heading of 265° at 70 mph and is lost in the sea clutter. The objects can only be painted with the IFF on. The radar is an APS-95.

Description: (Translated from French) High-ranking military personnel at the Pentagon decide to place a crown of copper needles in orbit around the Earth. These millions of tiny needles were to reflect radio signals back to Earth and facilitate military communications, thus shielded from any interference. But such an accomplishment seriously compromised radio astronomy for several centuries. The presence of these millions of needles could therefore have disastrous consequences denounced by many scientists around the world and yet the project received government approval.

Event 22551 (BD0DDEE2)

Date: 10/2/1961
Locations: Utah Central Airport [now closed] in Granger, Utah; Hill AFB near Ogden; Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio
Description: Around 12:00 noon. Waldo J. Harris, private pilot and real-estate broker, is getting ready to take off in a Mooney M20A from Utah Central Airport [now closed] in Granger, Utah, when he sees a bright spot in the sky. After he takes off, he notices that the light is still in the same location. He flies toward the object to get a better look, and sees that the UFO has no wings or tail and is hovering with a slight rocking motion. He later estimates the diameter at 35–50 feet, with a thickness of about 4 feet, and the appearance of sand-blasted aluminum. Harris estimates he has approached within 2 miles of the object before it rises abruptly and zooms away for 10 miles before it resumes a rocking hover. He approaches again, but it departs in about 2–3 seconds. Several other people, including airport controller Jay Galbraith, also see the UFO from the airport. Investigators from Hill AFB near Ogden arrive quickly. Airport attendant Russell M. Woods tells them he thinks the object was at 2,500 feet altitude. On October 9, Douglas M. Crouch forwards the Hill AFB official report, including transcripts of interviews, to Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio, saying “No unusual meteorological or astronomical conditions were present to account for the sighting.” Nonetheless, Blue Book wanders from Venus to a research balloon to a sundog (an assessment James E. McDonald calls “nonsensical”) as explanations.

Description: 5:00 p.m. Mrs. Erwin Riley, a summer resident in Two Harbors, Minnesota, sees a large object slide into the water of Lake Superior about one mile from shore and bob about on the surface. She summons a neighbor, Jack Ray, and they both watch through binoculars, but they can’t make out what it is. At dusk, the Lake County Sheriff responds to their call, but he can’t see much due to swells on the lake surface. He calls the Air Force and Coast Guard to make sure it’s not part of a training exercise. Shortly afterward, Riley sees the object rise into the air and travel southeast at about the speed of a car. A Coast Guard search the next day turns up only a floating log.

Event 22584 (94DCB206)

Date: 10/21/1961
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) As work continued on the development of more sophisticated telecommunications satellites, an original but controversial formula was tested, known as the "Westfort" project. The US Air Force had been working on the project since 1958, which involved launching no less than 350 million 2 centimeter long copper hairs into space. It was expected that these angel hairs, once released from their container in orbit, would stretch out around the Earth to form a belt, a kind of miniature Saturn ring. The size of these metal needles had been calculated to reflect radio waves preferentially on a frequency of 8400 megahertz, or a wavelength of 3 to 4 cm. (...) The first attempt took place in October 1961 from the MIDAS 4 spy satellite. But the needles remained grouped in packets. Two months later, radar observations showed that the ring measured more than 8 km long. This experiment had obviously caused a real stir among scientists, who accused the military of polluting space. Astronomers in particular, led by the Englishman Sir Bernard Lovell. (October 21, 1961)

Event 22585 (B08B4545)

Date: 10/21/1961
Description: (Translated from French) The Americans place a spy satellite, Midas 4, carrying 350 million copper needles, in a polar orbit 3500 km from Earth. Immediately after separation from the rocket, the cloud of small copper needles disperses and begins to form an artificial ring, which will have astonishing repercussions, as in February 1950: normal radio emissions are disturbed or mysteriously disappear. Then the incredible happens. On the radar screens, an enormous unknown object bursts in and, according to McCarty himself: Like a gigantic vacuum cleaner, it cleaned these skies in a few minutes of these needles. Despite this overwhelming event, a second shipment of needles will take place and the same phenomenon will occur. Millions of small needles are absorbed by an unknown phenomenon. (October 21)

Description: At a small, informal conference on SETI at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s facility in Green Bank, West Virginia, astronomer Frank Drake writes this equation on a chalkboard: N = R fp ne fl fi fc L. The equation, the Green Bank Formula, summarizes the main concepts that scientists must contemplate when considering the question of extraterrestrial life capable of communicating by radio across space. It is more properly thought of as an approximation rather than as a serious attempt to determine a precise number.

Description: (Translated from French) (...) the broadcast of the city's station was suddenly interrupted. The electric lights in the studios went out or began to flicker for 30 to 40 seconds.

Laffont 1976, p. 250-251) November 18, 1961; USA, near Chadron, Nebraska: In the afternoon a strange object passed through the sky above Theodore Goff's farm leaving behind a mysterious substance. It seemed to be very fine metal fibers that draped over the fields, trees, electrical lines, machines. "It was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon," said Goff, "I had worked in the hangar. As I was coming out, I saw this strange ball flying in the sky, at a tremendous speed, without any noise. I only saw it for a few moments. (November 10 (or 11), 1961)

Event 22634 (6244278F)

Date: 11/13/1961
Locations: Ent AFB; Colorado Springs, Colorado
Description: The AFCIN-1E-0 Draft Policy letter (Betz Memo) is prepared by Lt. Col. Norman M. Rosner for Col. Ward Reid Betz. Among other things, it specifies three peacetime functions of the 4602d Air Intelligence Service Squadron at Ent AFB [now the US Olympic Training Center], Colorado Springs, Colorado: UFO investigations, Project Moon Dust (an exploitation program to locate, recover, and deliver descended foreign space vehicles), and Operation Blue Fly (to facilitate delivery to the Foreign Technological Division of Moon Dust and other items of great technical intelligence interest). These three functions involve “employment of qualified field intelligence personnel on a quick reaction basis to recover or perform field exploitation of unidentified flying objects, or known Soviet/Bloc aerospace vehicles, weapons systems, and/or residual components of such equipment.”

Event 22635 (202FB42D)

Date: 11/13/1961
Description: USAF document “AFCIN-1E-0 Draft Policy” written by Lt. Col. Norman M. Rosner to Col. Betz writes that intelligence team personnel are needed to support Air Force Projects Moon Dust, Blue Fly and “UFO,” and other quick reaction projects. The document gives the 1127th Field Activities Group at Ft. Belvoir responsibility for UAP “collection responsibilities,” and importantly, divorces these responsibilities from Moon Dust and Blue Fly, described as projects to locate, retrieve and deliver foreign space vehicles.

The document also distinguishes crashed UAP from Soviet/Bloc vehicles, and describes the need for quick reaction recovery teams. For decades after, the USAF continued to rely on the conclusions of Special Report No. 14 to debunk UAP, which stated no compelling physical evidence had ever been recovered from UAP, despite debris collection teams existing.

Event 22637 (25EE9C0E)

Date: 11/18/1961
Description: A strange flying object streaked across the skies above the Theodore Goff farm on the afternoon of the 18th and left behind it a mysterious substance that defied explanation. The strange, seemingly metallic substance, came off the UFO in thin fibers and settled to earth, draping itself like a finely-knit shroud over Goff's fields, trees, machinery, and power lines. The farm is located near Chadron, Nebraska.

"It was about three o'clock," Goff related, "and I had been working in my shed. I came outside and happened to look up and see this strange ball flying through the air. It was kind of rough and seemed to be rolling as it sped through the air. It was going faster than any airplane I ever saw and it just disappeared from sight when it got out of the sunlight. It made absolutely no noise."

"Big chunks of it broke off and these fibers began settling down on everything. The ball was about as big around as a tractor tire, four feet in diameter or so and it came out of the southwest going northeast. At first I thought it was an airplane but when I really looked, I just didn't know what to think. It's hard to say how high up it was, maybe a thousand feet or more. The fibers cannot be seen with the naked eye except when they are in direct sunlight. Then, and only then, can you see them glistening ghostlike in the sun. They can be felt on the skin like spider webs, but they are much smaller in diameter than a spider web. A human hair seems like a rope compared to the fibers."

"I didn't really notice the fibers much that day, but the next morning my fields and trees just glowed with the stuff when the sun hit them. You can pick one up, but you can't really tell if you have one unless the sun hits it just right. It's the strangest stuff I ever saw." Attempts to break the weird strings were to no avail. They seemingly could not be broken apart, but, when a hot cigarette was applied to one of the strings, it did break. The string did not, however, burst into flame or seem to burn. "They're so fine you just can't tell when you've got one," Goff said. "You can feel it, but you can't see it."

Event 22653 (E267F284)

Date: Late 11/1961
Locations: Harvey, North Dakota; Martin, North Dakota
Description: Evening. A group of four friends are hunting on a Sunday in the area of Harvey, North Dakota. As they are returning in the car, the two men in the front seat notice a descending glowing object in the sky ahead of them. Assuming they are witnessing a plane crash, they rush to the scene of its landing, where they find at 150 yards distance, a “silo-appearing craft which was sticking in the ground with this glow around it.” The men shine a hand spotlight and shine it on the object, whereupon they see four human-looking individuals standing around it. At this point they seem to hear an explosion and “everything went out.” The principal witness wakes up from dozing in the back seat as the car is negotiating soggy ground looking for the craft and crew. They return to the spot where the landing takes place, and they see the figures again, wearing white coveralls and standing 5 feet high. They get out of the car and one figure waves them away. Eventually, the men agree to return to a small town, possibly Martin, North Dakota, 11 miles away, where they find a police officer, who listens to the story and agrees to accompany them back to the site. They see red lights moving in the field and both cars go in pursuit of them. The lights go out, the police officer drives away, and the four men resume driving home. Two miles down the highway, the silo-like object reappears, landing gently 150 yards away with two of the figures watching them. Two of the men get out of the car again and shine the spotlight on the craft. One of the men is carrying a rifle; he drops on the ground and shoots, apparently hitting one of the figures in the right shoulder. The figure spins around, goes down on his knees, gets help from the other figure, then yells, “Now what the hell did you do that for?” Weirdly, as soon as the men return to the car, the two who have remained inside insist the rifle had not been removed and no shot was fired. The primary witness (who remains in the car) has no recollection of what happened to the craft and figures. By the time they get home, dawn is breaking, and their wives are waiting for them. They all know it has taken longer than it should have to return. A few hours later, around 12:00 noon, the principal witness is at work when three well-groomed, official-looking men visit him. He presumes they are Air Force intelligence officers who say they have a “report” about the previous night’s event. They ask him what clothes he was wearing and what the object looked like, but they never ask about the shooting. Later, they show up at his house and ask to see his hunting gear and boots. They tell him not to say anything more about the incident. In January 1968, US Border Patrol agent [later BATF agent] Donald E. Flickinger manages to interview the primary witness, who works as a supervisor at Minot AFB hospital, and two of the others, one a small-town high school superintendent and the other an active-duty Air Force sergeant. They all are “extremely reliable and responsible,” Flickinger says.

Description: 9:30 p.m. Real estate agent Cavalheiro Mendes is walking along the beach in Balneário Pinhal, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, when he sees a huge light 900 feet away. As he walks toward it, he sees it is a huge disc resting on the sand. He feels compelled to approach it and sees two helmeted figures come from behind the object. They seem to be telling him telepathically not to resist. Mendes finds he is completely unable to move. He feels one of them scratching his forearm with an instrument, then he blacks out. When he wakes up, he is nearly back to his beach house and it is 11:30 p.m. After a few weeks he feels anxious and sad for no apparent reason. He refuses to be hypnotized.

Description: Covert operations against Fidel Castro are officially authorized by President Kennedy after being given the name Operation Mongoose at a White House meeting on November 3. The operation is led by USAF Gen. Edward Lansdale and goes into effect after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. A document from the Department of State confirms that the project aims to “help Cuba overthrow the Communist regime,” including Castro, and it aims “for a revolt which can take place in Cuba by October 1962.” One of Lansdale’s ideas is to project a huge image of the Second Coming of Christ above the island, spread the word that Castro is the anti-Christ, shoot starburst shells from a submarine into the air, and hope far an uprising. US policymakers want to see “a new government with which the United States can live in peace.”

Event 22688 (15FDC147)

Date: 1962
Locations: Wichita, Kansas; air base in the southwest
Description: Day. An Air Force pilot is flying a brand new B-52 with a full crew out of Wichita, Kansas, headed for an air base in the southwest. He notices a bright flash of sunlight in his left side and turns to see a metallic object “like polished chrome.” It is pacing the aircraft near its left wingtip. The object is 4–8 feet in diameter and has no seams or markings. His First Officer is watching an identical object off the right wing, and the crewman in the tail reports that there is a round shiny metal ball following close behind the B-52. The top and bottom gunners also see spheres above and below the plane. The pilot goes into an evasive maneuver, but after 10–15 minutes the objects are maintaining their positions. He returns to his previous assigned altitude and heading. After a few minutes, the five objects leave, one at a time, first the bottom one, then the top, then the tail. The two objects on the wings shoot away at the same time and climb out of sight parallel to each other. After landing, the crew is told not to talk about the sighting at all.

Event 22694 (919BE7FC)

Date: 1962
Description: USNR test pilot “PJ” states he saw a saucer at WPAFB in 1962 while attached to the 354th TAC Fighter Wing deployed to WPAFB on a hurricane evacuation from Myrtle Beach AFB. He and five men walked through the base looking for a gym and entered the Special Services Hangar and burst through the doors only to see an air police sentry with a sub-machine gun guarding a 12-15 foot by 8 foot object saucer with no rivets, roped off, guarded by eight guards. The guard told them “I don’t think you’re supposed to be here, Sir,” to which they left and believed the US developed flying saucers.

When he returned to Myrtle Beach AFB he was debriefed by his Brig. Gen. and was told he broke security, asked if he saw anything (to which he replied nothing), to which the Brig. Gen. Said “You have the right answer to the question.” PJ had a TS clearance that allowed him to fully research gaining valuable insight otherwise impossible. PJ was puzzled by the lack of security and wasn’t in a test facility, suggesting that it was near the flight line because it had just arrived or was awaiting deployment.

Description: The IBM 7950 Harvest computer, designed to be used for cryptanalysis, is delivered to the National Security Agency. It includes Tractor, a large automated tape cartridge library. An NSA-conducted evaluation finds that Harvest is more powerful than the best commercially available machine by a factor of 50–200, depending on the task. It remains in use until 1976. One purpose of the machine is to search text for keywords from a watchlist. From a single foreign cipher system, Harvest is able to scan more than 7 million decrypts for any occurrences of some 7,000 key words in under four hours. The computer is also used for codebreaking, and this is enhanced by a system codenamed Rye, which allows remote access to Harvest.

Event 22739 (E54F5F8B)

Date: 2/19/1962
Description: Three commercial fishermen driving south on the Dauphin Island Toll Bridge Causeway in Alabama saw a reddish-orange object to the south at about 10° elevation at 6:00 p.m. It changed shape from a round spherical object to an ellipsoidal, football shape, and then became covered with a (possibly artificially produced) fog.The object was estimated to be about one-third the apparent diameter of the sun. They stopped the car to call Dauphin Island AFS radar site (693rd Radar Squadron), which by coincidence happened to have two airmen driving north on the causeway in the opposite direction, and who also saw the object to the west. It was therefore possible to triangulate the object's location at about 30°16' N, 88° 10' W, and between 2-5 miles away from the civilian observers; the object's actual size was computed to be at least 30 feet in length. No radar contact was reported. Venus had set 30 minutes earlier.

Event 22756 (B520D519)

Date: 3/1962
Locations: Soviet Union; US; Russia
Description: Chemical engineer Leon Davidson writes a two-part article in Saucer News explaining how he has become convinced that the CIA, especially under the influence of Allen Dulles, has engineered disinformation about UFOs and even manufactured some seemingly legitimate radar sightings as a tool in the Cold War. Its aim is to cause the Soviet Union to waste time and effort in preparing defenses against fictitious aircraft and weapons that the US might be developing. Furthermore, UFOs can be used to capture headlines, diverting attention from unwelcome news coverage of espionage operations. Davidson writes that Dulles has resorted to using contactees and UFO organizations as a propaganda vehicle. Messages supposedly from spacemen calling for a halt in nuclear testing could influence public opinion in a test ban treaty that, in effect, would benefit the US more than the Russians, since the Soviets were seen as overtaking the American lead in weapons development. Davidson attributes CIA involvement in the claims of George Adamski and Daniel Fry. He also points out that electronic countermeasures (ECM) equipment is capable of creating fake radar returns and goes so far as to say that secret working models of saucers, perhaps piloted by “midgets,” are responsible for some sightings.

Event 22773 (1584EA4E)

Date: Spring 1962
Alternate date: Summer 1962
Locations: Clinton-Sherman AFB [now the Clinton-Sherman Industrial Airpark]; Burns Flat, Oklahoma
Description: All base personnel on flying status attend a briefing in the theater at the Clinton-Sherman AFB [now the Clinton-Sherman Industrial Airpark] near Burns Flat, Oklahoma. The airmen are shown a short 20–30-minute Air Force film showing, spliced together without interpretation, five or six gun-camera clips apparently documenting attempts by aircraft to intercept UFOs. Afterward, the commander of the 4213d Strategic Wing reads a statement (probably JANAP 146(D)) stipulating fines and jail sentences for anyone publicly reporting a UFO sighting and hands out UFO sighting forms in the event of an incident. One technician recalls there is a section on reporting any electronic signature emitted from the UFO picked up by specific ECM devices.

Description: George Adamski claims to attend a Twelve Counsellors Meeting on Saturn that addresses the threat of nuclear war on Earth. In the report that he publishes in June, Adamski writes that the “present explosions of atomic energy are going in the wrong direction, and if these experiments do not stop, the only results will be a lost civilization… This is even affecting their planets.” Ridiculed by many, some of Adamski’s descriptions in the report about his trip clearly show this was a deeply spiritual experience for him, which may have unbalanced him for some time.

Description: Evening. A red, glowing object is first seen at a great height over Oneida, New York, heading west silently. There are reports from Kansas and Colorado. NORAD radar picks up the object; ADC alerts several bases, including Nellis AFB near Las Vegas, Nevada. Fighters are scrambled from Luke AFB near Phoenix, Arizona, and the jets are possibly heard over Nephi, Utah, after the object passes overhead. Capt. Herman Gordon Shields, flying a C-119 two miles west of Levan, Utah, sees it as a slender object. A man in Silver City, Utah, claims that the object is a glowing ball of light about the size of a soccer ball. He says it is white with a yellowish tint and a bright yellow jagged flame coming from the rear: “As the object passed over Robinson [in Ogden, Utah?], it slowed down in [the] air, and after, [a] gasping sound was heard, the object spurted ahead again. After this procedure was repeated three or four times, the object arched over and began descending to earth after which the object turned bluish color and then burned out or went dark. After the object began to slow down it began to wobble or fishtail in its path.” Several people see the object over Eureka, Utah, apparently crashing and interrupting electrical service from a power plant close to the landing site. It is described as a “glowing, orange oval which emitted a low, whirring sound.” It takes off a few minutes later, continuing to the west. The object lights up the streets of Reno, Nevada, and then turns to Las Vegas. It blares brightly like a “tremendous, flaming sword” over Nellis AFB and then disappears from their radar scopes at 10,000 feet. Witnesses say the object is traveling almost horizontally northeast of Las Vegas until a final explosion occurs from the direction of Mesquite, Nevada. Sheriff’s deputy Walter Bun, who leads the search and rescue unit, moves the unit into the Spring Mountain area in jeeps to search for wreckage. They search through the night, and when the sun comes up they continue using aircraft. They do not find anything of importance except some ashes that might easily be the remains of a campfire started by a hunter some weeks earlier. When no one reports a downed or missing aircraft, Bun and the other deputies call off the search. The object seems to have changed direction, because at Reno it passes west to east, in Utah it is seem going southeast to northwest, and at Nephi it travels west. The duration of the sighting, from New York to Nevada, is only 32 minutes, giving a speed of 4,500 mph, below the speed of meteors. On May 8, the Air Force sends Hynek and Lt. Col. Robert Friend to Utah with Douglas M. Crouch, chief of criminal investigation at Hill AFB, south of Ogden, Utah. They determine it is a bolide. Blue Book lists it as two sightings: a multiple radar sighting at Nellis on April 18 with no visual (despite hundreds of observers in Las Vegas), and a bolide over Utah that it claims occurs on April 19. In reality, the Utah and Nevada sightings are only minutes apart (8:15 p.m. Mountain Time). However, there is quite a bit of information from numerous sources concerning this major incident, including Project Blue Book documents, and now possible confirmation by a radar man at ATIC. The case is also not explained in a Blue Book monthly sighting listing for April 1962. It is interesting that every one of these states except Utah has or was in the process of obtaining ICBM bases: New York (Plattsburg AFB); Kansas, (Forbes AFB and McConnell AFB); Utah (Minuteman production at Air Force Plant 77 at Hill AFB); Idaho (Mountain Home AFB); Montana (Malmstrom AFB); New Mexico (Walker AFB); Wyoming (F. E. Warren AFB); Arizona (Davis Monthan AFB); California (Beale AFB).

Description: (Translated from French) The LUNAR RANGER IV probe followed an aberrant trajectory and was unable to transmit any photographs or the results of the measurements that the onboard devices were to make. As the transmitter stopped being heard when the craft approached the lunar disc, it can be assumed that this probe crashed on the moon. RANGER V, which, having not obeyed the signals sent from the ground, passed by the moon to become a planet. The launch of the lunar probes then marked a time of pause.

A rotating band around the main body consists of a series of square windows from which come shafts of bright white light. They drive back home to alert her husband, Joseph A. Gasslein, an aviation worker. By that time, the UFO is about a half-mile distant, giving off colored lights. Around 8:10 p.m., the object returns flying toward the Gassleins’ home (south of Walsh Park) only 20 feet above ground level and passes over their backyard before making a sharp left turn and moving away to the east.

Description: Three women and a 10-year-old boy are driving home to Granby, Connecticut, when two bright yellow lights appear in the sky ahead. The lights cross the road and disappear behind some shrubbery. Driving nearer and stopping, the witnesses see the lights hovering above a field, one above the other. The objects realign horizontally and move toward the car. The driver starts the car up and speeds away, but the lights are right behind her, only a few feet from the rear window and matching the car’s speed. The yellow lights are only a few feet in diameter and have a reddish patch that rotates. They follow the car for four minutes then turn away.

Description: Schalk makes another unofficial low-altitude, 40-minute test flight with the A-12. The takeoff is perfect, but after the A-12 gets to about 300 feet it starts shedding all the “pie slice” fillets of titanium on the left side of the aircraft and one fillet on the right. (On later aircraft, those pieces are paired with triangular inserts made of radar- absorbing composite material.) Technicians spend four days finding and reattaching the pieces. Nonetheless, the flight pleases Kelly Johnson.

Event 22840 (BC7B36B3)

Date: 4/30/1962
Location: ITALY, Sicily
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: Catania, 25.3.52) Eugenio Siragusa felt an irresistible urge to go to Etna. He drove there and on the way he felt as if an unknown force was controlling the vehicle. He arrived at Mount Manfre, which is 1370 meters high. He got out and continued on foot towards an extinct crater. On the way he saw two silver figures, each 1.85 meters tall, they were blond-haired extraterrestrials. One of them spoke to him in Spanish, saying they were Ashtar Sheran and Ithakar (note from vog: it couldn't be missed...). These two forced him to write messages to the Pope, Kennedy, Kruschev, De Gaulle, the Queen of England, the King of Sweden, and the President of Italy. He did this that same night on his typewriter. He later received a response from De Gaulle. From then until the end of August, two flying saucers were constantly watching his house. The saucers were Alfa 2 and Alfa 8

Event 22848 (4171EEE7)

Date: 4/30/1962
Locations: Edwards AFB, California; Ely, Nevada; Seattle, Washington
Description: Just before 10:00 a.m. During a free-flight test (Flight 52) of the X-15 to a height of 246,700 feet (46.7 miles) by NASA pilot Joseph A. Walker from Edwards AFB, California, to Ely, Nevada, the instruments photograph 5–6 cylindrical objects. No visual confirmation. On May 11, at NASA’s Second National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Space in Seattle, Washington, Walker mentions the objects photographed (and perhaps shows the slides; it is not mentioned in the proceedings). NICAP is unable to obtain the photos. NASA claims the objects are ice flaking off the aircraft (“fireflies”). They are described by a NASA spokesman as “barbell shaped, bright-orange in color, and passing in groups up to six behind the X-15.” Opinion ranges from “definitely something up there,” to “film spots,” to “sun rays on the lens.” Jacobsen implies it was the A-12 test the same day.

Date: 5/12/1962
Time: 0410
Location: Pampa Province, Argentina
Description: V. and G. Tomasini and H. Zenobi saw an object on the ground 100 m away from the road. It looked like a railroad car and was illuminated. As they came close to it, the object took off, crossed the road at low altitude, rose with a flame, and separated into two sections that flew away in different directions. It made a humming noise and was seen on the ground for one min. Within a circle 60 m in radius, grass was burned, insects were carbonized, and the ground was "petrified." Sample analysis was done by the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base.

Event 22875 (DA418811)

Date: 5/12/1962
Locations: Bahia Blanca; Jacinto Aráuz, La Pampa, Argentina; Puerto Belgrano Naval Base; Universidad Nacional del Sur
Description: 4:10 a.m. Three truckers (Valentino Tomassini, Guro Tomassini, and Humberto Zenobi) are driving from Bahia Blanca to Jacinto Aráuz, La Pampa, Argentina, when they see a lantern-like light resting in a nearby field. It brightens and dims alternately. As they slow down, a row of 20–30 lights come on. When they approach to within 210 feet of the object, it rises up and crosses the road at a height of 12 feet. Its lights go out, a reddish flame comes from the bottom, and it makes a soft humming noise. The UFO then divides into two parts that fly off in different directions. Navy Capt. Luis Sanchez Moreno, chief of intelligence at the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base, interviews the witnesses. At the landing site, grass is burned over an area 180 feet in diameter, and there are damp, gray-colored patches. These are taken for analysis to either or both the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base and Universidad Nacional del Sur, both in or near Bahia Blanca. It consists of calcium carbonate and potassium carbonate.

Date: 5/12/1962
Description: At 4:10 a.m. V. and G. Tomasini and H. Zenobi, while driving on Route 35 at Kilometer 72 near La Pampa, La Pampa province, Argentina saw a rectangular object shaped like an illuminated railroad boxcar. As they came close to it, the object took off, crossed the road at low altitude, rose with a flame, and separated into two sections that flew away in different directions. It made a humming sound and was seen on the ground for one minute. The grass on the ground was burnt in a 60m radius circle at the landing site, insects were carbonized, and the ground was "petrified." Sample analysis was done by the Puerto Belgrano Naval Base. At 4:30 p.m. another close encounter occurred northwest of Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires province, Argentina that involved several witnesses and reportedly had lasting physiological effects.

Carpenter took a photo of the balloon with instruments, ejected from the capsule. On the enlargement of the photo taken through a dirty window, the reflection of the sun is misinterpreted as a UFO. (1989 - listing and research by Harvey S. Stewart) Mercury VII: Scott Carpenter reports that he photographed with a portable camera objects similar to fireflies and that he took what he thought was a good shot of a saucer.

Event 22960 (A595B0C8)

Date: Summer 1962
Description: Col. Joseph J. Bryan III, special assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force and advisor to NATO, joins the board of NICAP. In 1959 he had contacted Keyhoe and asked to see some of his “really hot cases.” It is later revealed that he was also founder of the CIA’s psychological warfare staff. Bryan never discloses his CIA background to NICAP or Keyhoe. Although Bryan, the father of later UFO author C. D. B. Bryan, makes strong pro-UFO statements, he is later suspected of helping to discredit Keyhoe and undermine NICAP; his son and Richard H. Hall deny it.

Event 22961 (D069C35D)

Date: Summer 1962
Locations: East Peru, Maine; Ardgay, Sutherland, Scotland; RAF Kinloss; Moray Firth; RAF Evanton
Description: Around 9:00 p.m. Harvey Packard and five other men are fishing near East Peru, Maine, when three orange globes show up across the pond and begin dancing about. The globes move toward the witnesses, who get scared and jump in their car and speed away. The globes follow the car, one in the rear and the others on each side. The objects appear to be transparent, 3-foot spheres that easily pace the speeding vehicle. Occasionally they leave their positions and form into a triangle with squarish bridges between them, then split up and continue the car chase. The car radio is filled with static. Finally, they veer off and fly into the woods. (NICAP case file; Swords 300) Summer — Donald MacKenzie, a shepherd, discovers some strange wreckage in a remote moor near Ardgay, Sutherland, Scotland, that he thinks is related to Sputnik. In October, a team from RAF Kinloss [now Kinloss Barracks] on the Moray Firth arrives to investigate. They find a strange box-shaped object, large enough to have carried a person and containing spaces for cameras and a brass panel that explains, in pictures, what the finder should do in the event of discovery to claim a reward. Buried nearby are a number of bottles of colorless fluid. The team is mystified and suspects something Russian but can’t confirm it. The debris now seems likely to have come from a secret spy balloon, one of many launched in 1955–1956 by the US Air Force from RAF Evanton [now closed], to take reconnaissance photos of Russian military and nuclear facilities. Once clear of Soviet territory, the balloons were designed to drop into the Pacific Ocean where its VHF beacon would guide recovery efforts.

Locations: 7466 East 18th Street, Tucson, Arizona; Pontano Wash
Description: 9:00 p.m.–2:00 a.m. John, 14, and James Westmoreland, 12, are camping out in their backyard at 7466 East 18th Street, Tucson, Arizona, with a friend, Ronald Black, 11. About 9:00 p.m. John notices a bright star in the west that moves occasionally, dips, and hovers. Around 11:45, they notice that the star is brighter and has moved closer, taking the shape of a triangle. At 12:15, the object noiselessly emits three green flares that take on a speedy horizontal flight path. They notice a second, ball-shaped object that races from west to east, flips, and stops at a higher elevation than the first. A “flare-like” light approaches the second and seems to be absorbed by it. The first UFO spits out more green flares, two of which disappear into the second object a few minutes later. The second object shoots out a rocket that disappears in the sky. A third whitish object, larger and disc-shaped, appears above Pontano Wash with a cone-shaped superstructure. Three stiltlike protuberances appear briefly then are drawn back in. The third object also drops something like a rope that extends to the ground for 3–5 minutes. The boys soon get sleepy and retire after a while, telling the mother, Pansy Westmoreland, about it in the morning.

They finally went home. About 0300, one of them was awakened by a feeling of intense cold and perceived a greenish light in the room. In the window a sharply defined human shape, delineating a semi-transparent body, was visible. The apparition had a huge bald head. The witness screamed, awakening the two others, and they saw the apparition shrink and vanish "like a TV image when one turns off the set."

Event 22982 (1FC6055E)

Date: 7/1962
Location: ARGENTINA, Camba Punta
Description: (Translated from French) In July 1962, a UFO was spotted approaching Camba Punta in Argentina. The airport director, Luiz Harvey, cleared the runway. A few moments later, a perfectly round aerial vessel arrived at high speed. It stopped, hovering for three minutes. The Argentine Air Force had been alerted, but no pursuit was attempted. Unfortunately, witnesses, in a state of excitement, wanted to get a closer look at the strange machine and started running towards it. The flying disc quickly disappeared. (Donald KEYHOE: "Les Etrangers de l'Espace" - Presses Pocket 1975 - p. 66) The flying object arrived at high speed above the runway and suddenly stopped at an altitude of 1m to 1m 20 from the asphalt. The object was completely round according to the description of Mr. Harvey and a dozen other witnesses, and it was rotating on its vertical axis. During this time, the UFO emitted a blinding light of green, orange and blue. When Harvey and his team approached, the object rose at a dizzying speed.

Description: At 1:00 a.m. Doctor Gauza and his wife were traveling on their way back to Crespo, Entre Rios, Argentina when they noticed a large metallic, cone-shaped object on the ground very close to the road. A very tall human looking figure stood next to an open door in the craft. It was looking around at the terrain. There was also a second figure looking out from a large porthole. The men were described as having long blond hair, and wore white coveralls with visors. When the two beings saw the witnesses, they used hand signals in an apparent attempt to get them to come closer, but the couple panicked and left at high speed. Eight other persons later came forward stating that they had also seen the craft and its occupants.

In his terror he tried to flee, but his engine mysteriously stalled. The creature advanced and violently tore off his scarf. It then made "a half-turn, like a robot" and moved away, leaving footprints in the sandy ground. The motorcycle worked again and the student rushed to the city to gather a team of motorcyclists and chase the "robot" but they only found footprints and the scarf abandoned on the road.

It grabbed the youth's scarf, turned around and walked away like a robot, leaving deep tracks in the dirt. The youth saw a white light low in the sky in the direction the creature was walking. He then drove away quickly.

He and another crew member see five men, “two in all-white garb, two in dark trousers and white shirts, and one in a sky-blue jumpsuit.” The craft swept in their direction toward the open sea, still on the surface, and the skipper has to turn hard to keep clear. It makes no noise and leaves no wake.

Description: 7:00 p.m. Three witnesses are driving south toward San José de Métan, Salta, Argentina, when they see a light against the mountains to the west. It approaches, growing as large as the full moon when it is 300 feet ahead of them. It has a bulge at the top and reddish-pink, green, and white blinking lights. It continues to approach and passes above a Fiat truck in the road ahead of them. The truck stops, and the witnesses stop their car as well, two of them walking into some nearby bushes to observe. The object now seems to be the diameter of a DC-3’s wingspan and is 150 feet in the air. The truck’s lights go out, and the object rocks back and forth, taking off to the north at a great rate of speed. Five minutes later, they drive up to the stopped truck, whose driver is scooping up dirt to cool its overheated engine down.

Event 23043 (98609F12)

Date: 8/1962
Location: Movil Lake, Minnesota
Description: Night. Marilyn Chenarides, her younger brother Roger, and their mother Mildred Anderson are vacationing in a cabin on Movil Lake, Minnesota. The two women see a glowing red, domed disc with large windows hovering above the boat dock 50 feet away. Silhouetted in the windows are three entities who seem to be looking at them. The women shut off the cabin lights for a better look, and the UFO switches off its own lights. Anderson runs out of the cabin toward the object, which lifts and disappears rapidly.

Event 23044 (5ADC8F03)

Date: 8/1/1962
Location: FRANCE, Le Brusc (between Marseille and Nice)
Description: (Translated from French) In the night, three fishermen in two boats saw a kind of submarine emerge slowly from the water. Three frogmen came out of the sea and boarded the vessel. One of the fishermen called them through a loudspeaker, but they did not answer, except for one of the three who made a gesture with his arm. When they had boarded the ship, it came out of the water, hovering in place, adorned with red and green lights. A white spotlight came on and was directed towards the fishing boats. Then the lights of the thing went out, the whole craft became luminous orange, began to spin faster and faster until suddenly it shot off in a fraction of a second towards the sky where it disappeared. The fishermen heard no sound other than that of the waves.

Event 23047 (27AD6F55)

Date: 8/1/1962
Description: A large metallic oval-shaped object surfaced 300 meters away from three fisherman in two boats off of Le Brusc, France in the Mediterranean Sea. They first believed it was a foreign submarine. About a dozen "frogmen" emerged from the water and climbed aboard. The fishermen called out but the figures ignored them, except the last three, who turned to look at the fishermen. The very last one waved. Then the craft rose out of water, and suspended itself effortlessly above the waves, as red and green lights came on and a white light beam like a searchlight played toward the witnesses. The beam was extinguished, the red and green lights went out, and the object, now glowing an orange color and clearly oval in shape, rose a further 20 meters into the air and began to rotate, its light becoming more intensely red. At last, it moved silently in a graceful arc above the fishermen, and disappeared rapidly into the night sky.

Description: Around 12:00 midnight. Air traffic control operators at Cambá Punta Airport [now Doctor Fernando Piragine Niveyro International Airport], near Corrientes, Argentina, see an unidentified light approaching the airport. They call the airport manager, Luís Harvey, who arrives from home in a hurry and sees the light circling at high speed. Harvey orders a landing strip freed up but the light, apparently a spherical object, comes down, hovering and revolving a few feet above the same spot on the runway for 3–4 minutes, emitting strong blue, green, and orange flashes. Then it climbs and vanishes at staggering speed.

Event 23053 (D0897A97)

Date: 8/3/1962
Location: US
Description: A CIA document, which was unwittingly authenticated by the CIA itself during a FOIA appeal by Dr. Donald R. Burleson, author of UFOs and the Murder of Marilyn Monroe, mentions wiretaps of phone conversations between reporter Dorothy Kilgallen and her close friend, Howard Rothberg, and wiretaps of phone conversations between Marilyn Monroe and Attorney General Robert Kennedy. When the Kennedys started distancing themselves from Marilyn, she grew angry and (mentioning it on the telephone, unfortunately) started planning to hold a news conference and "tell all." According to the hypothesis set forth in Dr. Burleson's book, Attorney General Robert Kennedy then became so fearful that "tell all" meant telling the big secret-- the government retrieval and coverup of UFO crash debris and bodies (which reporter Kilgallen wrote about several times in her newspaper column). The document was signed by James Jesus Angleton, who at the time was the Chief of Counterintelligence for the CIA.

The UFO connection becomes all the more compelling with the discovery, described in Burleson's UFOs and the Murder of Marilyn Monroe, of an imprint to the left of the "TOP SECRET" stamp near the top of the document; the imprint, when Burleson enhanced it by computer imaging techniques, turns out to contain the name of Brigadier General George Shulgen, who was formerly the chief UFO investigation-coordinator for the U.S. Air Force. (The imprint also refers to General Schulgen's Intelligence Collection Memorandum, a document known to have existed.) This imprint or "bleed-in," however it came to be on a CIA document about Marilyn Monroe, makes a clear connection between her murder and the question of UFO secrecy, as someone, somewhere at some time, evidently thought it logical to archive the documents together. When all the evidence is considered, the case becomes very strong that government people murdered Marilyn because of what she knew about the UFO coverup.

Date: 8/17/1962
End date: 8/19/1962
Locations: Duas Pontes; Diamantina; Minas Gerais; Brazil
Description: Evening. Walking home, diamond prospector Rivalino Mafra da Silva sees two small beings, about three feet tall, digging a hole near Duas Pontes, 17 miles north of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil. On August 19, Mafra da Silva and his sons are in bed when they are awakened by sounds and see a shadowy figure, apparently floating in the room. In the morning, he and his son Raimundo see two humming balls floating outside. They merge into one larger ball that moves toward Rivalino, enveloping him in yellow smoke. Raimundo says: “Then the yellow smoke dissolved. The balls were gone. The ground below was clean as if the dust had been removed by a big broom.” He tells his story to Lt. Wilson Lisbõa, chief of police at Diamantina, who conducts a search for 10 days. Only a few drops of blood are found.

Event 23088 (F2A56E94)

Date: 8/20/1962
Location: BRAZIL, Duas Pontes-Diamantina
Description: (Translated from French) Shortly after dawn a poor diamond prospector, Rivolino Mafra de Silva, was mysteriously abducted or disintegrated by what seemed to be the action of a UFO. It was learned during the investigation that he had fallen a few days earlier on "little men" who seemed to be burying something. In the evening of August 19 two shining spheres the size of a football were observed by a neighbor, flying above the prospector's hut. During the night, strange non-human forms, about 40 cm high, entered the hut, contemplated the family then in bed and voices were heard outside, saying they were going to kill Rivalino. Shortly after dawn, his 12-year-old son opened the door and found two strange balls on the floor. One was black and the other black and white. Each had a tail and some kind of tip. The father went out to look at the balls which then joined, jumped on him, enveloping him in a cloud of yellow smoke, and he disappeared.

I called dad. He came out and approached the balls. At that moment a violent whirlwind of air was triggered which raised a cloud of dust. I no longer saw my father. The whirlwind rose, then calmed down. Dad had disappeared, I have not seen him again.

Event 23100 (FF9B030A)

Description: (Translated from French) In an isolated farm in Duas Pantas (Brazil), a 9 year old child exits his house and discovers two balls with a diameter of 40 cm on the ground, facing the door he just crossed. He immediately calls his father who also sees the balls and approaches them closely. At that moment, a violent whirlwind of air is triggered and raises a cloud of dust. The child can no longer distinguish his father in this turmoil, then the whirlwind calms down while rising. His father has disappeared forever. The investigators are unable to find his trace and this event intrigues the authorities so much that the child is immediately put under psychiatric observation: they want to know the reasons why he invented this story.

Event 23107 (29EB6391)

Date: Late 8/1962
Location: Salta, Argentina
Description: 7:00 p.m. Three witnesses are driving in a rural area about 87 miles from Salta, Argentina, when two of them (the third sleeps through the event) see a light against the mountains to the west that grows larger and moves about 300 feet above the road ahead of them. It is a domed disc with flashing reddish-pink, green, and white lights around its perimeter. The object illuminates a truck ahead of them. The truck stops, and the two witnesses get out of their car and hide in some bushes to see what happens next. The object appears to be nearly 100 feet wide and 150 feet above the truck. The truck’s lights go out and the object takes off to the north at a high rate of speed, climbing out of sight within seconds. They drive up to the truck, whose drivers are throwing dirt into its smoking engine compartment and are more concerned about an insurance claim than a UFO encounter.

Event 23108 (84A72614)

Date: 8/26/1962
Location: Escola de Sargentos das Armas in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Description: 12:05 a.m. Geraldo Bichara, 18, is standing guard at the Escola de Sargentos das Armas in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil, when an electrical blackout occurs in the city. Suddenly he is paralyzed by a light beam from an unseen object, apparently for a few minutes. In 1980, Bichara undergoes hypnosis and discovers that the incident was an abduction in which he is taken aboard a UFO by beings wearing pumpkin-colored jumpsuits and subjected to a medical examination. He attempts to flee at one point and grabs his rifle lying nearby, but he is still paralyzed. After about 2 hours he is returned to the guardhouse.

Event 23110 (666BF222)

Date: 8/27/1962
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) (cf. July 27, 1962) But the second (launch) of "Mariner II" on August 27 was a complete success. Mariner II was a small spacecraft of 202 kg (gold and silver plate, if you please!). Its apparatus were set to begin operating ten hours before passing near Venus. Shot by its carrier rocket, it was put into orbit too, and then took off towards the planet. In spite of mistakes (...) it followed obediently the assigned trajectory - 291 millions of kilometers! - and after 109 days of travel arrived, on December 14, at less than 35,000 km from the Venusian surface. It was then that the American technicians sent him by radio, at more than 57 millions of km of distance, the order to trigger his apparatus. Mariner II received the order, acknowledged receipt and for 45 minutes pointed all his electronic eyes at the Shepherd's Star. ("Astronautics", Pierre Rousseau, Hachette 1965, p. 59) LAUNCH BY A TWO-STAGE ROCKET "ATLAS-AGENA" (...) WITH ALL ITS EQUIPMENT IN WORKING POSITION, IT MEASURED 3.63M IN HEIGHT AND 5M IN SPAN.

Event 23111 (B2CAB6FF)

Date: 8/27/1962
Description: (Translated from French) Launch of Mariner 2 to Venus. In its No. 1, the Soviet magazine Simena publishes an article where one can read, among other things, that the skull of a man 40,000 years old was discovered in Broken Hill (now Kabwe) at a little more than 50 km from Lusaka, the capital of the current Zambia. Strangely, this skull would be pierced with a neat hole, without radial cracks, which would suggest the impact of a bullet. The same type of impact appears on a prehistoric bison skull dating from around 8000 to 10000 BC, which this time is preserved by the Paleontology Museum of Moscow. This fossil would have been found west of the Lena, a river that crosses the Autonomous Republic of Yakutia, famous for the countless mammoth tusks found buried in its frozen soil most of the year. You can see a photograph of this skull in Erich von Däniken's Gods from Outer Space. The latter, as well as Soviet scientists such as K. Flerov, claim that this hole is indeed from that time because its edges have been re-calcified, proof that the animal would have survived its injury. As the photograph is taken from far enough away to encompass the entire bison skull, it is impossible to detect this re-calcification. But one can indeed see a neat round hole at the forehead level."

Event 23122 (BF3C1017)

Date: 8/30/1962
Location: Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Description: 7:35–7:55 p.m. While having supper at an outdoor restaurant near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, three men, one of whom works for Techint Engineering Company, watch a UFO that approaches and hovers for 20 minutes. The engineer has a portable theodolite with him, and they set it up and track the object. It is a silvery-gray disc, like two rounded hubcaps together, and is spinning on its axis. It has an antenna on the top and exhaust ports all around its mid-line, and it is surrounded by gaseous emissions that run through all the colors of the spectrum. The object flips to a vertical alignment, showing its base, and then tips over so that its original topside is on the bottom. The object silently accelerates and disappears in 5 seconds. Project Blue Book concludes that the men were watching the planet Venus.

A little man or robot was next seen walking toward them. He was one meter tall, had a small head and short arms, and looked like the "Michelin" tire man. His upper body was luminous. After the being had walked to with 30 feet it vanished before their eyes. Two of the witnesses ran, one stayed behind; the UFO took off but came back and the third witness suffered from temporay paralysis. He reportedly suffered from headaches for the next month.

Summary: during an excursion, the witness was advancing through the bushes when he found himself in a clearing where a UFO of 9 m in diameter, flattened like a top, with portholes, resting at 2m20 from the ground on a telescopic tripod, was stationed. He approached it and went around it and found an opening to enter, which he did. He finally met two extraterrestrials and had a technical conversation with one of them. (...)

He noticed a metallic UFO with windows hidden behind some trees, sitting on three telescopic legs and shaped like a top. It was 30 feet in diameter. He saw that it had a ladder and an open doorway, so he climbed the ladder and went inside. The interior had a control panel but no occupants, but when he turned around he was surprised to see that two human looking individuals, about 5.7 feet tall, wearing white suits with helmets, had returned. They looked surprised to see him and not sure what to do. He asked them, in French, why if they were obviously spacemen they looked like us. One of them replied, speaking in French, saying that the reason was we had a common ancestor.

Event 23202 (9F6C8FAA)

Description: The CIA and USAF instruct Lockheed to study a high-speed, high-altitude drone concept. Kelly Johnson specifies speeds of Mach 3.3–3.5, an operational altitude of 87,000–95,000 feet, and a range of 3,500 miles. It would make a one-way trip, eject its camera payload at the end of the mission for recovery, then self-destruct. It has a double-delta wing similar to the A-12’s wing design. The Q-12 is to be air-launched from the back of an A- 12 and uses key technology from the A-12 project, including titanium construction and radar cross-section reduction design features. Johnson wants to power the Q-12 with a ramjet engine modified to operate at high temperatures for at least 90 minutes at high altitude.

Description: 6:30 p.m. Kennedy gathers a select group of advisors known as the ExComm (Executive Committee of the National Security Council) to discuss a strategic response. McNamara presents him with three basic options: a political option of approaching Castro and Khrushchev; a naval blockade to stop Soviet ships carrying weapons to Cuba; and “military action directed against Cuba, starting with an air attack against the missiles.” The ExComm’s initial discussions focus on a massive US military assault on the nuclear installations and other bases in Cuba, and whether the Soviets would counterattack in Berlin or elsewhere. Kennedy rejects an attack, favoring a quarantine to buy time to negotiate a missile withdrawal.

Kohler delivers to a letter from JFK to Khrushchev, saying, “the one thing that has most concerned me has been the possibility that your government would not correctly understand the will and determination of the United States in any given situation, since I have not assumed that you or any other sane man would, in this nuclear age, deliberately plunge the world into war which it is crystal clear no country could win and which could only result in catastrophic consequences to the whole world, including the aggressor.”

Description: Khrushchev writes to Kennedy, rebuffing his demand that the Soviets remove the missiles, which the Soviet leader insists “are intended solely for defensive purposes.” Kennedy writes back, bluntly reminding Khrushchev that he started the crisis by secretly sending missiles to Cuba. As US ambassador Adlai Stevenson explains the matter to the United Nations Security Council, US ships already are moving into position in the waters around Cuba. Soviet submarines menacingly move into the Caribbean as well, positioned as if they might try to break a blockade. But Soviet freighters bearing military supplies headed for Cuba stop in their tracks.

Date: 10/25/1962
Locations: US; Europe; Cuba
Description: The US raises the readiness level of SAC forces to DEFCON 2. For the only confirmed time in US history, B-52 bombers go on continuous airborne alert, and B-47 medium bombers are dispersed to various military and civilian airfields and made ready to take off, fully equipped, on 15 minutes notice. The Soviet arms freighters turn back toward Europe, but the oil tanker Bucharest approaches the US quarantine zone, directly headed for Cuba. Two American warships, the USS Essex and the USS Gearing, prepare to intercept it, which could have led to war. Instead, Kennedy decides to let the Bucharest through the quarantine because it isn’t carrying any contraband.

Event 23251 (094A8E8C)

Date: Late 10/1962
Locations: Loring AFB; Loring Commerce Centre; Limestone, Maine
Description: Day. Two Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bombers are returning to Loring AFB [now the Loring Commerce Centre] near Limestone, Maine, following an Operation Chrome Dome mission. They are on final approach to landing when a huge, metallic-gray, cigar-shaped UFO descends over the flight line and hovers for a few minutes. It stretches halfway across the aircraft ramp area, which would make it half a mile wide. Jet engine mechanic Sgt. Christopher Smith is watching the scenario from the ground and notes that the UFO is silent and has no lights or visible openings. After the second B-52 lands, the UFO silently zooms away toward the east and disappears. All the ground witnesses and the flight crews do not talk about the incident afterward and act as if nothing happened.

Description: Castro sends a letter to Khrushchev, urging him to launch a nuclear first strike against the US, which the Soviet leader disregards.

Robert Kennedy meets secretly with Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin and agrees after a phone call to the president that the removal of US missiles from Turkey is negotiable as part of a comprehensive settlement.

Event 23260 (CDA3B6E0)

Date: 10/27/1962
Locations: Cuba; Turkey
Description: A U-2 piloted by Maj. Rudolf Anderson is shot down over Cuba. However, Kennedy correctly concludes that Khrushchev has not himself given the order to shoot down Anderson’s plane. The incident prompts both leaders to realize the situation is spiraling dangerously out of control. Khrushchev sends another letter to Kennedy, in which he demands that the United States withdraw missiles from Turkey as part of the deal. JFK responds by offering to promise not to attack Cuba after the Russians withdraw. In the evening, Robert Kennedy tells Soviet ambassador Dobrynin, “You have drawn first blood.        The president had decided against advice        not to respond militarily to that attack, but he [Dobrynin] should know that if another plane was shot at ... we would take out all the SAMs and antiaircraft        And that would almost surely be followed by an invasion.” However, he also says that the US already plans to remove its missiles from Turkey but cannot say so publicly. This is the moment when both nations step back from the brink of war.

Event 23261 (A2300F4B)

Date: 10/28/1962
Location: AUSTRALIA, between Salisbury and Elizabeth
Description: (Translated from French) E.D. Sylvester was driving on the road around 7:30 pm when she and her children saw an object cross the sky in front of them and land in a field next to the road. When they reached the incident, all four of them got out of the car to go see the thing: oval shaped like an egg, 4.50 m long and 1.50 to 2 m high. Near the thing was a small being that looked like a man and was wearing a shiny outfit like a scuba diver. He had a transparent helmet and tubes on his back that connected him to the craft. In his hands was a small box or container and he was taking samples from the ground around him. Mrs. Sylvester told authorities that she was able to observe this being for forty minutes until the small being re-entered his craft which silently took off again.

Description: 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Ellen D. Sylvester is driving with her three children in Norwood, South Australia, east of Adelaide, when they see an orange glow on the ground about 2–3 miles away. It has three legs, round windows, and the boy remarks that he can see people in it. One of the “men” gets out and descends to the ground. He appears to be doing something to one of the landing legs. He seems to have some trouble in making it retract, which finally he overcomes. He is about 6 feet tall, as his head reaches the outer fringe of the craft. He wears a helmet like a gas mask. He returns to the UFO, which begins to move slowly away, then very fast, and disappears in a northerly direction. Total time of observation is 40 minutes.

Event 23280 (56DC9345)

Date: 11/1962
Location: FRANCE, in the Var
Description: (Translated from French) A garage owner was driving in the evening in a pouring rain when he suddenly saw a group of silhouettes 80 m away. He slowed down as they were leaving by jumps and he observed that they were strange and looked like birds. As they leapt towards the car, terrified, he drove through them and then he saw them return to a bright blue object hovering above a field. They entered it as if they had been sucked in, a dull sound was heard before the object flew away.

Date: 11/1962
Location: Var department, southeastern France
Description: Evening. A French businessman is driving along a minor road in Var department, southeastern France. It is raining heavily. Rounding a bend, he sees a group of figures in the road 260 feet ahead. He slows down to drive around them and sees that they are actually bizarre animals with the heads of birds and covered in plumage. Terrified, he speeds ahead and stops about 500 feet further ahead. Turing around, he sees the entities heading toward a luminous, dark-blue object hanging in the air over a field on the other side of the road. It resembles two plates upside down. The entities are sucked into the bottom of the object. He hears a “clack,” and the UFO takes off at “prodigious speed.”

Event 23290 (F3C6EF40)

Date: 11/2/1962
Location: USA, near Ririe (Idaho)
Description: (Translated from French) As they were driving around 21:30, two Navajo Indians, Willie Begay and Guy Tossie, were blinded by a powerful white light. Once recovered, they noticed a small UFO floating 2 m above the ground in front of them. The car began to slow down abnormally without Willie being able to do anything about it. The object had a diameter of 1.70m to 2.10m with a dome on top that was overturned as if it had hinges for opening. The two men noticed two small beings in the cockpit, whose appearance scared them. Immediately one of these beings flew away like a bird and descended to Willie's height. He was 1.10m tall, had a head 70 cm wide, coarse features as if he had undergone a rudimentary plastic surgery, huge ears, round eyes, no nose or lips. One of his hands had two fingers. The two creatures wore very tight-fitting suits to the shape of their body and a kind of empty backpack that extended above their head. (...) The little being jumped through the open window into the vehicle and grabbed the steering wheel with what served him as a hand. The car started moving again but the creature was too small to reach the accelerator: it became obvious that the car was being towed by the UFO. Finally the strange convoy stopped in a wheat field and Guy Tossie took the opportunity to make a run for it. The little being began to speak in a very high and shrill voice (...) in an unknown language. Then the being returned to the UFO which immediately took off with a rumble, emitting a yellow flame from the back.

Locations: Stanford; Los Angeles, California; Mesopotamia
Description: Stanford astronomer Carl Sagan presents a paper at the American Rocket Society annual meeting in Los Angeles, California, that explores models for the distribution of technical civilizations in the galaxy. Using Frank D. Drake’s equation to suggest that 0.001% of stars in the sky have a planet on them on which an advanced civilization resides, Sagan suggests the nearest such advanced civilization is several hundred light years away from earth. From there, he explores the feasibility of interstellar spaceflight as a means for traversing such distances. The paper ends in consideration of the possibility of extraterrestrial contact with Earth in the past, including the ancient Mesopotamian myth of Oannes (Apkallu), a mythical being who taught mankind wisdom.

Event 23317 (6F8CA412)

Date: 11/22/1962
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) At the end of the DISCOVERER program, the US Air Force had thus succeeded in twelve recoveries and the series ended with number 38. But, from November 22, 1962, three months before the end of the program, an unnamed satellite launched from the same base by the same rocket (Thor Agena) quietly gained a low altitude orbit around the Earth. A few hours later it released a small capsule, which an airplane recovered in flight over the Pacific. This first satellite was to be followed by many others of the same type. (...) The first generation consists of small satellites that remain welded to the last stage of their carrier rocket, the Agena. For its takeoff it is propelled, of course, by a first stage, which is none other than a Thor missile. About three days later, a small capsule, baptized "E 6", is ejected to be recovered in flight. The detachment from the orbit takes place over Alaska, the capsule ending its course off the Hawaiian Islands. There, a Hercules C-130 cargo plane is waiting and circling over the planned arrival point. Its role: to catch the container in flight, by the suspension of its parachute, using a curved cable. Originally this aerial fishing number only succeeded once in two. It continues, perfectly perfected, to this day

Swett, who has recently published a book of his poetry. After he reads selections of his poetry, the pastor asks him to discuss his personal interest in hypnosis. After the meeting breaks up, the Hills approach Swett privately and tell him what they can remember of their strange encounter. He is particularly interested in the missing time of the Hills’ account. The Hills ask Swett if he will hypnotize them to recover their memories, but Swett says he is not qualified and cautions them against going to an amateur hypnotist, such as himself.

When they got closer they made out that it was some type of unknown craft emitting phosphorescent flashes. Making no sound it rose up into the air to a height of some 50 meters, then landed again beside the road. Throughout their entire journey to Clodomira the object kept jumping ahead of them. When the first lights of the city came into sight the object broke off pursuit and climbed into the sky at a terrific speed.

The USAF, however, is interested in the Q-12 as both a reconnaissance platform and a cruise missile and the CIA finally decides to work with the USAF to develop it.

Description: (Translated from French) A police officer, Francesco Piania, saw in the city center two Martians. "I was doing my inspection round when I heard a whistling behind me. At first I thought it was my ears (note from vog: !) but the noise became louder. As I was going towards the park I saw a silver-aluminum disk, shining in the moonlight, landing. When I turned around I was petrified and couldn't move. I saw a strange entity about 1.85 m tall coming out of the disk. Its space suit was silver and fluorescent emitting a bluish light. It wore a black helmet and made a gesture towards the rotating dome of the disk. Then another person appeared at the entrance. The first man made a sign for me to come closer to him, but at that moment the other entity called him and both of them boarded the disk which took off." [note from vog: these so-called extraterrestrials didn't have much special about them, did they, except that their craft might have been a small helicopter?] (1962, December 12 (December 18?))

A door opens at the bottom and a small man just over 3 feet tall and wearing a luminous overall emerges. The man motions Rizzi to come nearer, but he is frozen with fear. Another small man comes out of the disc, but they both return, the door closes behind them, and the object takes off in a cloud of white smoke. Rizzi reports the sighting to a colleague, the police, and the press, and soon loses his job.

Event 23386 (891A9CCB)

Date: 1963
End date: 1964
Location: US
Description: In the past two years, packets of information-- including some details of specific cases--have been substituted for the generalized Air Force "fact sheets." The unexplained cases for each year are briefly described. (In the new "fact sheets", the "unknown" category has been rendered meaningless by the inclusion of vague and incomplete cases. Formerly the term "unknown" was applied to the most detailed and inexplicable cases from the best observers. Now the distinction between "unknowns", and cases which lack detail or apparently have natural explanations, has been blurred.)

Event 23387 (EF700E58)

Date: 1963
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) Continued experiments nevertheless took place, particularly under the responsibility of the Lewis Center of NASA. Three types of "hypersonic gliders" were then built: the HL-10, the X-24 and the M2-F. All are ancestors of the Space Shuttle. The MF-F1 was the first to fly in 1963, the same year the X-20 project was abandoned. The X-24 pilot was to reach 1610 km/hour at 22,000 meters altitude in 1971 after being dropped from a B-52 bomber.

Event 23388 (FBB883C5)

Date: 1963
Location: USA, Fern Kreek, Kentucky
Description: (Translated from French) Four boys, aged 5 to 12, were watching a disc-shaped object land behind a small wood near where they were playing. A humanoid, dressed in a space suit, small, about 1.2 m tall, came out of the wood. The boys threw stones and clods of earth at him to provoke some reaction. The entity then shot at them with a small black rod which caused a slightly painful tingling sensation throughout their bodies. When the boys were questioned separately according to the information in the NICAP files, their description of the entity was identical and also corresponded to that of 200 other witnesses in the Ohio River Valley. The boys' mother noticed she had received a telepathic message in her head and felt compelled to call the University of Louisville immediately after she had phoned the National Guard to report the children's encounter. Small footprints and clear signs of the landing were found. The next day, two unidentified people visited the site and erased the footprints. They claimed to have been sent by the University of Louisville, but when enquiries were made there, this seemed not to be true.

Event 23389 (ED3DC8CD)

Date: 1963
Locations: Kardashev scale; Hong-Yee Chiu
Description: Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev examines the radio source CTA-102, the first Soviet effort in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). He comes up with the idea that some galactic civilizations could be perhaps millions or billions of years ahead of us, and creates the Kardashev scale to rank such civilizations. Kardashev defines three levels of civilizations, based on energy consumption: Type I (planetary civilization) with “technological level close to the level presently attained on earth”; Type II (stellar civilization), “a civilization capable of harnessing the energy radiated by its own star”; and Type III (galactic civilization), “a civilization in possession of energy on the scale of its own galaxy.” Various extensions of the Kardashev scale have since been proposed, including the use of metrics rather than pure power. The idea that the CTA-102 emission is caused by a civilization is later rejected when it is identified as one of the many varieties of quasar (quasi-stellar radio source), a term coined by Hong-Yee Chiu in May 1964 to describe these objects.

Event 23459 (9BDF26EB)

Date: 3/1963
Description: (Translated from French) Professor Roger Jennison (Department of Electronics at the University of Kent) is flying late at night from New York to Washington. The plane enters a storm and at one point the aircraft is enveloped by a bright and audible electrical discharge. A few seconds later a glowing sphere of about 20 cm in diameter emerges from the cockpit and travels down the aisle of the aircraft to approximately 50 cm from Jennison. The ball moves in a straight trajectory along the length of the aisle at 75 cm above the floor and at a relative speed to the aircraft of about 1.5 m/s. It is blue-white in color and its apparent brightness is estimated to be about 5 to 10 W. No heat is felt when it passes close by and the limb darkening (like that of the Sun) gives it an almost solid appearance, indicating that it is optically opaque. No asymmetry is observed in any dimension so it is impossible to determine whether it is rotating or not. (March)

Event 23502 (8AA1D67B)

Date: 4/21/1963
Location: POLAND, Warsaw
Description: (Translated from French) We lived on the ground floor of an apartment in a dead-end street in Warsaw. I was about to go to bed, around 11 pm on April 21, 1963, and I was standing with my back to the window, whose curtains were closed. My wife was already asleep. Then I heard a woman's voice saying, "Look! Look!" in a pleasant but urgent tone. I immediately knew I had to look out the window into the street, where a gas bottle was hissing. Suddenly, the room was lit up by a light like that of a full moon, although the curtains were still closed. I rushed to the window and opened the curtains. I then saw a strange, frightening light. It was raining, but the raindrops seemed to be part of this pale, moon-like light. Then came a third, equally impressive vision: a hail of fire began to fall, with hailstones the size of hazelnuts that had nothing of the appearance of pieces of ice, but rather that of drops of steel running off during welding. These hailstones quickly covered the street and made a dull sound as they hit the shutters. I hoped to be able to pick up some of these hailstones as soon as they were cold. But as soon as they hit the ground they only kept their shape for a moment, immediately losing their steel-like color: they became gray and completely disappeared without leaving any trace. I woke up my wife. She was able to observe these strange things with me, which amazed us. As the rain crackled and the hailstones pounded against the shutters, we heard every ten seconds a curious explosion - a dry sound like that of a cork popping - which announced a renewed wave of rain and hail. At greater and more irregular intervals we also heard a kind of whistling and crackling similar to that of tram and trolleybus cables short-circuited by the pole when it has jumped. This lasted about an hour. In the morning we had confirmation from all our neighbors who had observed the phenomenon exactly as we had done ourselves. (Ion HOBANA/Julien WEVERBERGH: "Les OVNI en URSS et dans les pays de l'Est" - trad. Laffont 1976, p. 262-263) Metal balls the size of hazelnuts fell on Warsaw in the night of April 22 to 23. These balls shone with the red color of fire. They covered the streets and electric crackling was heard.

A SECOND ATTEMPT WAS MADE IN MAY 1963, WITH THIS TIME 475 MILLION SPARKS PLACED IN POLAR ORBIT AT 3700 KM ALTITUDE. THE OPENING OF THE CONTAINER WAS TELECOMMANDED ABOVE THE NORTH POLE, AT THE EIGHTH REVOLUTION. THE RADARS COUNTED A TOTAL OF 18 PACKAGES OF NEEDLES, WHICH, AGAIN, DID NOT REALLY SUCCEED IN DISPERSING. FIVE DAYS LATER, A RADIO WAVE REFLECTION EXPERIMENT WAS HOWEVER SUCCESSFUL BETWEEN THE WEST COAST AND THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. AND FINALLY, PROGRESSIVELY, THE RING BEGAN ITS DISPERSION. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER IT WAS COMPLETE (...) BUT IN THE FALL THE YIELD DROPPED SHARPLY, BECAUSE THIS ARTIFICIAL MIRROR WAS DISPERSING TOO MUCH BY DEFORMING, A LARGE NUMBER OF NEEDLES UNDERGOING THE EFFECTS OF SOLAR RADIATION. (...) MANY NEEDLES WERE LED TO DIVE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE WHERE THEY BURNED. THUS, IN THE SPRING OF 1966, HALF OF THE NEEDLES HAD FALLEN, THE WESTFORD MIRROR, DISMANTLED AND USELESS FOR A LONG TIME.

Event 23509 (4BB53A3B)

Date: 5/1963
Location: ROMANIA, Focsani
Description: (Translated from French) At about 11pm I was outside in the street when a strong light made me turn around. (...) I then saw behind and above me a sphere at 500 or 600 m altitude which, in a few fractions of a second, was above my head, very low, like an airplane dropping medicine boxes in inaccessible areas for rescue. The thing had the apparent diameter of a handball and it emitted a very bright white light with orange spots. The street was illuminated as if it was day by this thing which came from the south and went at full speed (constant) towards the north. When it reached far away (...) it stopped. Its passage, even at the closest, was accompanied by no noise except for a slight whistle when the blinking red-white light became visible. A feeling of cold, I think caused by my fear, seized me at the moment of its passage above me and even afterwards, while the night temperature was very mild. (May, 1963)

Date: 5/7/1963
Description: (Translated from French) The American astronaut Gordon Cooper broke the record for the longest space flight: 34 hours and 20 minutes, aboard Faith-7. During the final orbit, he warned the ground station near Perth that a green object was approaching him from East to West, against the direction of the orbits made by man at that time. The phenomenon was also detected by the Perth detection equipment. NBC broadcasted the report and planned to interview Cooper, who said nothing and referred to the official statement announced by the NASA. But no statement would come from the NASA.

Event 23551 (ED6BD90A)

Date: 5/24/1963
Locations: Wendover, Utah; Boston, Massachusetts
Description: An A-12 piloted by Kenneth S. Collins crashes near Wendover, Utah. The CIA thinks it might have been due to pilot error and contracts with a well-known Boston, Massachusetts, psychiatrist with a specialty in hypnosis (unnamed, but possibly Benjamin Simon, of Betty and Barney Hill fame later). After a lengthy investigation it is determined that a tiny, pencil-sized part called a pilot tube, a device that controls the airspeed indicator, froze when the A-12 entered a cloud, causing the aircraft to stall.

Event 23560 (0F26F961)

Date: 5/31/1963
Locations: Rome, Italy; Milan
Description: Adamski allegedly has a private audience with Pope John XXIII in Rome, Italy. The pontiff is seriously ill and dies three days later. Adamski claims that he has received a “Golden Medal of Honor” from the pope, but skeptics note that the medal is actually a common tourist souvenir made by a company in Milan, and that Adamski displays it to his friends in a cheap plastic box—which is how it is sold in tourist shops in Rome. Adamski says his meeting is at the request of the extraterrestrials he is in contact with in order to ask for a “final agreement” from the pope because of his decision not to communicate directly with them anymore and to offer John XXIII a liquid substance in order to save him from the gastric enteritis that he suffers from.

A door suddenly opens and he sees 4 men and 5 women, all between 2 m 10 and 2 m 70 in stature. These people greet Villa and tell him they come from Coma Berenice. They make themselves understood both by telepathy and in English and Spanish. Villa is allowed to take pictures and for him to have nice images, they even do a kind of flight tour. (following April 18, 65) (Mitarbeiter, "Ufo Geheimnisse", Berlin, January 1998) IN REALITY: Paul Villa fabricated two series of eight color photographs each of circular flying objects with very precise details: one series on June 16, 1963, another on April 18, 1964; he spoke of numerous conversations with the extraterrestrials and promised to soon deliver another series of images. These series appeared in the January 1964 and April 1965 issues of "Ufo-International" and later in the 93 and 113 issues of "Ufo-Nachrichten"

Event 23613 (20AA58EF)

Date: 7/1963
Locations: US; Latin America; Fort Benning, Georgia; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Abu Ghraib, Iraq
Description: The CIA has synthesized many of the findings from its psychological research into what became known as the “KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation” handbook, which cites the MKUltra studies and other secret research programs as the scientific basis for their interrogation methods. Donald Ewen Cameron regularly travels around the US teaching military personnel about his techniques (hooding of prisoners for sensory deprivation, prolonged isolation, humiliation, etc.), and how they can be used in interrogations. Latin American paramilitary groups working for the CIA and US military personnel receive training in these psychological techniques at places such as the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia. (In the 21st century, many of these torture techniques are used at US military and CIA prisons such as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and Abu Ghraib, Iraq.) In the aftermath of the 1975 congressional hearings, major news media mainly focus on sensational stories related to LSD, mind-control, and brainwashing, and rarely use the word “torture.” This suggests that the CIA researchers are, as one author put it, “a bunch of bumbling sci-fi buffoons” rather than a rational group of men who have run torture laboratories and medical experiments in major US universities; they have arranged for torture, rape, and psychological abuse of adults and young children, driving many of them permanently insane.

Locations: Mount Vernon, Illinois; Wayne City; State Highway 15
Description: 11:30 p.m. Ronnie Austin and Phyllis Bruce are driving east on State Highway 15 past the Mount Vernon, Illinois, airport when they notice a bright white round object about 20° above the southwest horizon. It seems to be keeping pace with them for several miles. Suddenly it moves about 600 feet in front of them and to the left. When Austin drops Phyllis off at home in Wayne City, it is hanging in the southeast. They continue watching it about 15 minutes, then Austin leaves for home. As he turns east on a gravel road, it shoots ahead of him, taking on an orange hue. At one point it comes within 100 feet of his car, swerves upward, and passes above him as the car radio makes a whining noise and the car engine almost fails. The object then moves behind him from west to east. When he arrives home, it is hovering about 900 feet to the southeast. Ronnie is so shaken, he is given a sedative. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orville Austin, and brother and sister also see the light, which finally becomes indistinguishable with a star by 1:10 a.m.

They continued to watched the object from her house with her family members for nearly an hour. When Ronnie left the object buzzed his car repeatedly. He felt a cooling effect and heard a loud whining sound on the car radio as the UFO made passes at the car. His engine also missed and the speedometer was effected.

It then tilts 90° and darts away to the west. It leaves behind a smell of heated metal.

Event 23735 (273F1DE5)

Date: 8/28/1963
Location: BRAZIL, Sagrada Familia
Description: (Translated from French) Three young boys in the garden around 7:50 pm, were drawing water from the well. Suddenly a sphere came hovering above the trees. They were even able to see 5 or 6 rows of people inside the sphere. An opening appeared in the bottom of the sphere and two beams of light were projected onto the ground, a thin being, 10 feet tall, descended sliding down the beams. Once on the ground he walked with a stiff back, bent legs and open arms, swaying from side to side. Then he sat on a rock. The giant wore a transparent helmet, he had an eye in the middle of his forehead, and he wore boots with triangular tips. His shining garment inflated as soon as he was on the ground, the trousers tightly fixed to the boots, on the chest a square packet that emitted light jets. Inside the sphere, still suspended, occupants were manipulating buttons and levers. When the giant made a gesture to grab one of the boys, one of the three picked up a stone, but was unable to throw it when the man looked at him. The giant stood up, but this time he walked with his arms tightly along his body and used the beams as an elevator and went back up into the craft.

Event 23739 (29B1852C)

Date: 8/28/1963
Locations: Sagrada Familia, Belo Horizonte, Brazil; Gualbertos’s backyard
Description: 7:00 p.m. José Marcos Gomes Vidal, 7, and his friends Fernando, 12, and Ronaldo Gualberto, 7, are in the Gualbertos’s backyard in Sagrada Familia, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, to wash a coffee strainer in a cistern. Suddenly, Fernando notices a glow coming from the top of an avocado tree. When he looks up, he sees a UFO hovering above the tree’s branches. The craft, which is spherical and has a pair of antennas on top, is completely transparent. It holds four human-like passengers sitting inside, one of whom sits in front of a machine that appears to be a control panel. The passengers are about 6 feet tall and dressed in spacesuits. They all have only one eye like a cyclops. Three of them are thin and bald, while the other looks like an overweight woman with blonde hair. The UFO shoots out two rays of yellow light. One of the cyclops appears between the lights, slowly floating down onto the ground. Once his boots touched the earth, the creature begins to walk toward José, who is completely unaware of what is happening since he is still collecting water. Fernando panics and tackles José, who falls to the ground, and Fernando gets back up and faces the cyclops. Now all three boys are aware of the visitor. The cyclops moves his head and makes hand signals. It speaks a few sounds in a strange language. The creature then turns around and stares back at the UFO. Fernando, spotting a brick on the ground, picks it up and aims it at the cyclops, who turns around and shoots Fernando’s hand with a yellow light from a triangular crest on his chest. Fernando drops the brick, and all three of the boys become calm and frozen. For a few more minutes, the cyclops speaks to them, then it points one of his fingers at the moon and begins to walk back toward the UFO. José asks if he will ever come back. The cyclops shakes his head affirmatively, plucks a plant from the ground, and then waves his hand at the UFO, which shoots out two rays of yellow light again. The cyclops slowly floats back up into the vehicle, and the UFO takes off eastward and disappears out of their sight.

Event 23785 (83417FFD)

Date: 10/1963
Time: 0900
Location: Whidbey Island, Washington
Description: A middle-aged woman, who had seen a strange craft hovering near her house the previous Jul., observed a gray-colored object, 3.5 m long, hovering less than 2 m above ground. Through the transparent front part she could see three figures. Suddenly one of the occupants was standing on the grass. He was clothed in "asbestostextured coveralls" and neither the face, nor the hands, nor the feet was visible. When she asked, "What do you want?" the answer, in English, was: "One of our party knows you; we will return." The object then decreased in size, tilted, partially sank into the ground, grew to its previous size, and departed to the east, producing steam, a flash, and a noise.

Date: 10/1963
Location: Millersport, Ohio
Description: 9:30 p.m. Five members of a family in Millersport, Ohio, see what seems to be an airplane on fire, but the house-sized object approaches and hovers about 300 feet away. They see a dark disc with a dome and antenna on top and three ball-shaped protrusions on the bottom. Around the rim are evenly spaced openings that emit fiery beams. In the dome, several large windows are visible in which a figure can be seen, at least by the mother. The dome rotates as the object hovers, and it makes a low humming noise. It finally rises slowly and makes a small circle in the air before speeding away.

Event 23807 (31034A98)

Date: 10/12/1963 (approximate)
Location: ARGENTINA, between Monte Maize and Isla Verde
Description: (Translated from French) At dawn, in a driving rain, Eugenio Douglas was driving his coal truck. Suddenly he saw a bright point on the road, a single blinding light was approaching. He stopped and pulled off to the side. He got out of the truck: the light had disappeared. Through the rain he saw a round object about 35 feet high, an opening appeared and three men wearing what looked like antenna helmets appeared. They were at least 12 feet tall. Douglas was scared, and when the men saw him a red beam was pointed at him and burned him. Grabbing his revolver he shot at the entities and ran towards Monte Maize. The red light followed him to the village where it interfered with the street lighting, changing it to violet and green. He knocked on a door where a family gathered in a wake heard him: at that moment the candlelight turned violet then green and there was a strange smell. (Jacques VALLEE: "Chronicles of E.T. Appearances" - DENOEL 1972 - J'AI LU collection, p. 165, 166) On the night of October 17-18, Ernesto Douglas (note from vog: different date and first name, slightly different story too) was driving in a violent storm when he was suddenly blinded by a bright light that enveloped his truck from all sides and moved along the same route as him. He suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face. He braked, but his truck skidded and then left the road to get stuck on the side. At that moment he got out and found himself in the presence of three strange beings that seemed to be robots, near which was a vehicle of oval shape equipped with portholes and emitting a bright light. Panicked, Ernesto Douglas took his revolver and fired four bullets at the creatures. They took refuge in their spacecraft which started moving. Several times it flew over the driver and his truck and each time Douglas felt violent burns all over his body. Exhausted, his clothes in tatters, he presented himself at the police station in Monte Maize.

Description: 3:30 a.m. Driving in a blinding rainstorm on the road between Monte Maíz and Isla Verde, Córdoba, Argentina, Eugenio Douglas feels heat and a prickly sensation all over his body. He sees a brilliant light in front of him. Temporarily blinded, he loses control of his truck and ends up in the ditch. Shaken but not injured, he gets out of the vehicle and looks up at the road, which he finds is blocked by an oval-shaped object at least 30 feet high. A door opens on the side and three huge “robots in human form” emerge. They wear helmets with short antennas and are 12–15 feet tall. Douglas takes a few shots at them with his revolver and runs away. The robots return to the UFO, which chases him down the road and eventually flies away. The next day, police find large footprints near the abandoned truck.

Description: At 3:30 a.m. Sr. E. Douglas, while driving a truck through a violent rainstorm, had to stop when he encountered a large, blinding object, 35 meters high, from which three giants, three meters tall emerged. They wore luminous clothes and strange helmets. Douglas took out a gun and fired at them, as a red beam burned him. He ran away and found shelter in Monte Maiz, Argentina. He suffered burns similar to strong ultraviolet exposure. Very large footprints were found at the site. "A truck driver was travelling along a lonely road at night during a violent storm when he was suddenly blinded by a vivid white light which enveloped his vehicle. Simultaneously, he felt a burn on his face. He then braked but the vehicle skidded, left the road and became bogged down in the mud. The driver found himself in the presence of three strange beings with the gait of robots. Nearby he saw an oval-shaped object with portholes emitting a harsh light. Picking up his revolver, he fired four shots at the beings, who fled to the object. It then took off and flew around the truck several times, each time causing the driver to feel burns all over his body. Examination by a doctor revealed that the burns were 'curious lesions' of undetermined cause."

Following the event, Nelson states a report was made to AFOSI, but he only learned about this decades later from technician Bob Caplan. Nelson does not understand why neither he nor his missile commander were told about OSI’s presence at the base.

Event 23819 (B995852D)

Date: 10/21/1963
Location: ARGENTINA, Trancas (Tucuman)
Description: (Translated from French) In the night of the 21st to the 22nd, several UFOs stopped near the railway of Trancas. From there they emitted non-dispersive red beams of light (like those produced by our current lasers) of very high intensity. The workers of an agricultural company who had gone out had to run and take refuge in their dwellings, pursued by these heat beams. Inside the houses the temperature began to rise. A witness, Kairus de Moreno, gave a coherent description of these beams to Captain of Frigate Omar R. Pagani of the Naval Information Service of the Argentine Military. Following his investigation, the latter declared that this light passed through the walls of the houses and entered the rooms without windows, illuminating them as if it were broad daylight.

They can see some 40 humanlike figures (silhouettes) moving around within two bright lights linked by a prolongation or tube. When witnesses flash a light at the object, the house is flooded with a strong beam. The temperature rises inside the house and the inhabitants smell a strong sulfurous odor. All six objects are about 24 feet in diameter, have a white and a red beam of light, and leave a cloud of white smoke that does not disperse for 4 hours. Beneath the space where one of the objects has been rocking back and forth, the witnesses find innumerable white balls one-quarter-inch in diameter piled into a cone 3 feet high and within a circle 28–30 feet in diameter. They consist primarily of calcium carbonate.

The pilot resumed his route towards the Michell base when he noticed that the two objects had merged into a single, very "compact" mass. Finally, the witness reported, the large craft broke apart into about ten bright points that faded away on their own.

Description: (Translated from French) Four young people were walking along Sandling Park in the evening. The light, yellow-orange, came out of the sky at an angle of 60°. As it approached the ground it seemed to hover more slowly. Suddenly a gold-colored light appeared in the nearby field after the first object had disappeared behind the trees, floating 100 yards away from them at 10 feet from the ground. It seemed to follow their movements and as if it was observing them. It was oval, 15 to 20 feet wide with a bright and hard center. It disappeared behind the trees and a few seconds later a dark silhouette descended heavily. It was all black, the size of a man, but without a head. It seemed to have wings on either side of the body, like a bat. The young people did not wait to find out the rest..

It was a black car of a model known as Toyopet New Crown and it had a Tokyo license plate. On the back seat, on the left, an elderly man seemed to be reading the newspaper. Suddenly, a puff of something gaseous, like white smoke or steam, seemed to envelop this black car and when the cloud disappeared, a few seconds later, the vehicle had vanished. (November 19, 1963)

The local tribes would not have accepted the extraterrestrials and would have ended up massacring them almost entirely. The surviving extraterrestrials would however have left traces of their passage and 2 tribes, the Hams and the Dropas (fragile beings, reaching about 1.30 m in height and who, to this day, have resisted any attempt at ethnic classification) would be descended from a mixture between the space castaways and the natives of the time.

The object came out of the water and stayed hovering at an altitude of 17 to 20 meters" The witness took out the binoculars to get a better look at the object and saw inside, like an entity looking at him fixedly... "so I remembered my camera... When I held it up to my eyes the object started to move, and I just managed to capture it in the corner of the frame. In a few seconds the craft was far away, beyond the mountains. It rose up, changing color: black when it came out of the water it became a bright yellow-orange. That's all I could see.

They were sitting in the car and talking, all lights off; it was about 11 pm. Suddenly they saw a silhouette crossing the field. "It didn't seem to see us until we turned on the headlights. Then it headed towards us. It wasn't walking, it seemed to be advancing in big leaps towards our car. (..) the thing passes through three rows of barbed wire. As it approached, I started to scream. Then it backed up and dove forward as if it was going to go through our windshield. It tried to grab Lew, I'm not sure if it touched him or not. (...) she and Lew desperately tried to raise the windows. (...) I remember that feeling of being hypnotized by the bright eyes of the "thing". (...) The "thing" crouched down, its hands became paws, and it started to walk on all fours. Everything happened in slow motion. Then it disappeared, it evaporated. " It was about two meters tall, with wide shoulders, a rather slim waist. Standing, its body appeared in the light of the headlights, covered with a kind of yellowish down. The head was horrible, pointed at the top, narrow at the chin, wrinkled forehead, large pig ears and a kind of groin. Its eyes shone orange and its teeth were like fangs. (1964, unspecified date)

Event 23968 (09F47C9D)

Locations: Gulf of Carpentaria; Cape Grey; Groote Eylandt; Northern Territory, Australia
Description: The landing craft Loellen M. is in the Gulf of Carpentaria between Cape Grey and Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory, Australia, when a crew member notices the compass is malfunctioning (“haywire”) and the vessel is off course, He notices an odd phosphorescence in the water on the starboard side about 6 feet away from the ship. It is a ghostly, pulsating white light that is rotating in a clockwise direction. It seems to be “miles across.” As the light wheel moves to the ship’s port side, another rotating light approaches the ship’s starboard side. This undoubtedly involves some unusual bioluminescence, but it is significant that it is the first “unknown” in the RAAF’s UFO files.

Event 23993 (93201F45)

Description: President Lyndon B. Johnson holds a press conference to announce that the US has repeatedly broken the Soviet’s world record for air speed by a secret aircraft called the A-11—a fictitious name for the Air Force’s YF- 12, a twin-seat version of the Lockheed A-12 built as an interceptor. He says the A-11 can fly more than 2,000 mph at an altitude of 70,000 feet. The YF-12A is announced in part to continue hiding the A-12, its still-secret ancestor; any sightings of CIA/Air Force A-12s based at Area 51 in Nevada can be attributed to the well- publicized Air Force YF-12As based at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Many abduction elements come to light: telepathic commands, semen extraction, a rectal probe, skin scrapings, a pregnancy test with a needle, the Star Map. The aliens are 5 feet tall with gray skin, oddly shaped heads, and broad foreheads. Simon discounts the possibility of an alien abduction and prefers to think that Betty’s dream influenced Barney’s memories. The Hills do not agree.

Event 24006 (07FD5C2F)

Date: 4/1964
Location: USA - MADAGASCAR
Description: (Translated from French) The first case dates back to April 1964, when the satellite "TRANSIT 5" fell back into the Indian Ocean, very close to Madagascar; it simply could not be placed in orbit, its carrier rocket having communicated an insufficient speed to it. The radioactive fuel which was on board to power a radio-isotopic generator, burned in the atmosphere. It was plutonium 238. ("The War of the Satellites" - Volume 3 - Pierre Kohler, ed. Famot 1982, p. 116) This military navigation satellite was loaded with one kilo of plutonium. The radio-isotopic thermo-electric generator (RTG) burned in the atmosphere, according to what is said, releasing its radioactive material. (April 1964)

Event 24028 (02A8E9FA)

Locations: Homer, New York; 10 miles northwest of Homer, New York
Description: 6:30 p.m. Physiotherapist William B. Ochsner and his wife and two children are having a picnic on a hill about 10 miles northwest of Homer, New York. They see an unusually wide vapor trail in the sky stretching from northeast to southwest. At the far end of the white trail is a smoky, spiral portion about one mile long. The vapor trail drifts off. After 10 minutes, Ochsner notices that the spiral portion is still visible, having moved a bit to the west. With binoculars, he sees wisps of smoke streaming out of it. It changes from a horizontal to a vertical position with greater smoke activity. It stops and hangs there for 2–3 minutes before sinking into the clouds. After another 3 minutes, they see a horizontal pencil-shaped object moving from left to right on the horizon. A flash of white light erupts from its end and shoots forward a short distance then stops. It becomes thick in the middle, a cloud of smoke emanates from it, and it shoots backward rapidly. Again it hovers and changes to a saucer shape. It then divides into two parts, one above the other. The top object slowly recedes into the distance, while the bottom objects heads downward at a 45° angle, divides in two again, with the top part fading away and the bottom part assuming a vertical pencil shape, which fades away. The whole display takes 45 minutes.

Event 24039 (052BA768)

Date: 4/20/1964
Location: McMurdo Station, Antarctica
Description: Early morning, During Operation Deep Freeze VII, six members of a US Coast Guard aircraft sight a V-formation of 9 glowing-white objects speeding at an estimated 35,000 feet altitude. They are flying a in a C-130 turbo-prop transport from McMurdo Station, Antarctica, with supplies. The right-side observer first sees the objects approaching at about 460 mph from above and to their right side. When they come abreast of the airplane, they slow to its speed. After a short time, they fly above the airplane and take up position above and to its left side. The pilot attempts to radio the ground but the radio is dead, and their radar also stops working. When the pilot tries to switch to auxiliary power, it too is not functioning. At one point the airplane’s engines stop (the oil begins to congeal in the cold air). Instead of losing altitude, it maintains “a steady altitude and course.” The airplane allegedly continues flying in complete silence, then it enters a “strange haze” (like a white-out) with the air filled with static electricity. There is electrical arcing from one observer’s body to metal inside the fuselage. The haze vanishes after about 20 minutes. The power suddenly returns, and the crew can restart the engines in sequence. The airplane has covered a distance of 305 miles during the 45–50 minutes at indicated airspeed of 184–218 knots.

Description: Flying over Ross Island near McMurdo Sound Naval Air Station in Antarctica in the early morning hours, six members of the crew of a U.S. Coast Guard C-130 spotted nine bright white flying objects in a "V" formation. The UFOs came from above and paced along the left side of their transport plane. The aircraft entered a strange haze at 12,000 m altitude, and it experienced a total failure of the radar, radio, and engine. However, during this temporary engine failure the plane did not loose altitude. The entire encounter lasted about 45 minutes.

Event 24046 (DF20939F)

Date: 4/24/1964
Location: USA, Newark Valley (New York)
Description: (Translated from French) Gary Thelbert Wilcox was farming with his wife. At 10 o'clock this Friday he was spreading manure with his spreader on the fields to the east of the farm. The weather was clear with sunshine. While he was working he looked up to the top of the hill and noticed a shiny object up there: at first glance he thought it was a refrigerator. He realized it was not one. He directed the tractor with the spreader up the hill, and at 100 m from the object he thought it might be a tank that had fallen from an airplane. He stopped and walked the remaining 100 m. This thing was above the ground, the size of a bit more than a large car, of an oblong shape somewhat like an egg. It was absolutely smooth and aluminum-colored. He touched it: the metal seemed harder to him than aluminum. He does not know if the craft was hovering or resting on feet. It measured about 6 m long by 1.20 m high, and from 4.50 m to 5 m wide. Two small men came out from under this object - tank. He does not know where they came from. Each of them was carrying a tray made of the same material as the craft. There were tufts of grass on the trays. The small men stopped less than a meter from the witness. Then it seemed to him - because their voices did not sound like those of human beings - that one of them said to him: "Do not be afraid, we have already spoken to people". The witness understood perfectly but does not know if they were speaking in English. They were quite wide for such small people. They had arms and legs but the witness does not know anything about their hands or feet. They seemed to have some kind of clothing that covered the place where normally there should have been a head. When they raised their arms he saw a bulge where we have an elbow. The color of the complete and totally flexible suit was aluminum white, without seams or pockets. They said: "We come from what you call the planet Mars". They then asked him what he was doing. He explained that he was spreading manure and he had to explain it in more detail. The beings asked if they could have fertilizer. They also said that they could only come to Earth every two years. The conversation quickly moved from one subject to another. They added that they were monitoring people on Earth. (...) They went back under the ship, bent down a bit. Then there was a sound like the slowing down of a car and the object took off slowly and disappeared after traveling about 45 meters. (...) Around 4:30 pm he returned to the hill with a load of manure and he left a bag of fertilizer where he had seen them. The next morning the bag was gone.

Event 24047 (BDF3C5A9)

Date: 4/24/1964
Location: USA, Socorro (New Mexico)
Description: (Translated from French) RR3. In the afternoon of this day Lonnie Zamora, a former police sergeant already in the service, was patrolling the streets of Socorro in a car as part of a routine operation. Suddenly he saw a shining object descending towards the lower part of the city, a little outside. He later added that he then heard an enormous rumble. When he approached the edge of the ravine, he saw a strange egg-shaped object, 3 to 5 m long, resting on short metal feet. Apparently ignoring the witness's presence, two small human-looking creatures wearing what seemed to be white or silver overalls were apparently examining or repairing a piece under the craft. As Zamora returned to his car, he looked back... At that precise moment the object projected a dazzling blue flame onto the sand where it was resting, then it rose with a deafening noise. Four deep imprints were found in the ravine where the object had landed, which Zamora identified as those of the craft's feet. The surrounding bushes were charred and still smoking where the flames projected from the base of the object had reached them. (Henry DURRANT: "The UFO File" - Laffont 1973 - pp. 29-30) (Science et Vie, special edition 1997: 50 years of UFO, Atlas of Unsolved Cases, pp. 60 to 63) In April 1964, the same day Hynek was at Wright Field, Lonnie Zamora saw an egg-shaped object, now famous, which landed on four feet in the desert of New Mexico. It bore an insignia that strangely resembled the logo of Astropower, a Douglas subsidiary, founded in 1960, under the presidency of propulsion expert Y.C. Lee. I found a full page of four-color advertising for Astropower in the "Proceedings of the Radio Engineers", special issue on computers, dated January 1961. In this advertisement Astropower "offers its services for the research and development of advanced space propulsion systems to subcontractors and government agencies". ITS PROGRAM INCLUDES HIGH-ENERGY PROPULSION SYSTEMS OF NUCLEAR, CHEMICAL AND ELECTRIC TYPE; SOLID STATE ELEMENTS AND ENERGY CONVERSION EQUIPMENT. Mr. Lee would be happy to receive requests from "scientists with advanced degrees in plasma physics, nuclear physics and thermodynamics".

Locations: Newark Valley, New York; Mars
Description: 10:00 a.m. Dairy farmer Gary Wilcox of Newark Valley, New York, is driving a tractor on his property when he sees a shiny object on the inside edge of a nearby patch of woods. He gets off the tractor and approaches the object, which is egg-shaped, 20 feet long, 16 feet wide, and four feet high. It is hovering two feet above the ground and making a sound like a car idling. He touches it and feels a hard metal. Two figures suddenly appear from under the object. They are 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide, dressed in seamless silvery garments. Each carries a tray filled with alfalfa, roots, soil, leaves, and brush. Wilcox hears a voice say, “Do not be alarmed. We have talked to people before.” They ask him what he is doing, and Wilcox says he is spreading manure. One humanoid asks if he can have some and converses some more about space exploration. They claim they are from Mars. After a while, the UFO takes off in a horizontal direction. Wilcox notices some small depressions where the figures were standing, as well as a thin, red, jellylike substance.

Event 24063 (6A6B4E4B)

Date: 4/24/1964
Locations: Socorro, New Mexico; Box Canyon or Six Mile Canyon Mountain; White Sands Missile Range; Kirtland AFB; Goddard Space Flight Center
Description: Around 5:50 p.m. Socorro, New Mexico, police officer Lonnie Zamora, while chasing a speeder, hears a continuous roaring sound and sees a brilliant blue “cone of flame” in the sky to the south-southwest. The bottom of the flame is out of sight behind a hill. Thinking there has been an explosion, he tries to pursue it, turning off to the right on a rough gravel road, but loses sight of it while trying to get the car up a steep hill. By the time he reaches the top, the sound stops and the flame is no longer visible. He then notices a metallic object in a ravine about 450 feet away. At first, he thinks it is an overturned car, but then he sees “two figures in what resembled white coveralls, pretty close to the object on the northwest side, as if inspecting it.” One seems to turn in a startled way as if he hears Zamora’s car approaching. The figures are small, and the object is oval-shaped and positioned so its long axis is horizontal. Zamora loses sight of object as he drives through a dip in the road. He radios headquarters that he is investigating a possible car accident. He stops a second time and gets out, hearing 2–3 loud thumping noises like a door shutting hard. He walks three steps to the front of the car to possibly 50 feet away from the object when he hears a very load roar increasing in volume and sees a smokeless blue-orange flame coming from beneath. He notes a red insignia or lettering on the side of the object. Zamora thinks it is going to explode and runs away, putting the car between him and the object and dropping to the ground. He feels some slight heat from the flame. The roaring noise stops, and Zamora looks up to see the UFO flying away to the southwest at a level height, just clearing an 8-foot dynamite shack. He runs back to the patrol car and radios headquarters, just as the object climbs slowly and goes past Box Canyon or Six Mile Canyon Mountain (about 6 miles away). The entire incident takes place in less than 2 minutes. Police Sgt. M. S. Chavez arrives, and they find burning brush (including a badly damaged creosote bush) where the UFO has been, as well as four asymmetrically placed, trapezoidal imprints 12–16 inches long, 6–8 inches wide, and 4–6 inches deep. An FBI agent, D. Arthur Byrnes Jr., who has heard about it on the police radio, speaks with Zamora in the evening. He notifies army intelligence at White Sands Missile Range, who sends Capt. Richard T. Holder. Military police arrive and collect samples, working by flashlight. The next morning, Holder gets a call from a colonel at the war room of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, asking for a report. T/Sgt. David Moody from ATIC and Maj. William Conner from Kirtland AFB check the area for radioactivity on April 26. Hynek arrives on April 28 and interviews Zamora and Chavez. Richard H. Hall and Ray Stanford arrive for NICAP and obtain some metal traces on a rock in the landing area; they take the sample to NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, where metallurgist Henry E. Frankel agrees to analyze the material. His tentative analysis suggests a zinc-iron alloy, perhaps from a zinc pail. In 1966, Blue Book chief Maj. Hector Quintanilla writes in a classified article in Studies in Intelligence that “This is the best-documented case on record, and still we have been unable, in spite of a thorough investigation, to find the vehicle or other stimulus that scared Zamora to the point of panic.” Some investigators think the case might involve a test of a Lunar Surveyor module from White Sands.

Event 24065 (D57BAF9E)

Date: 4/24/1964
Description: Police officer Lonnie Zamora was parked watching for speeders on the main highway south of Socorro, New Mexico at 5:45 in the afternoon when he saw an whitish metallic ovoid object land in the desert behind a rise. He drove his police cruiser over the rise and saw an ovoid object with four legs resting in a gully. Two four-foot tall beings in white spacesuits stood next to the landed UFO. They turned in his direction and then went inside the UFO. A loud roar was heard during a vertical takeoff as the object emitted a flame from the bottom. The foliage in the area was scorched black, and there were four holes in the ground surrounding the burned area. The case was personally investigated by Dr. J. Allen Hynek for Project Blue Book. Everyone, except UFO debunker Phillip Klass who visited Socorro four years later, regards the testimony of Mr. Zamora as highly credible. A married couple saw the object north of the city at 5:30 p.m. before it landed, and seven other witnesses saw it flying south of Socorro shortly before 6:00 p.m.

Description: Night. Two Spanish-speaking people 9 miles away from Golden, New Mexico, watch a light come down from the sky and leave three “smelted” circles some 2 feet in diameter and separated from each other by 20 feet. They mention this story to James Scartacinni, 15, and his grandfather visit the site the next day and find the circles, which they estimate must have been subjected to a temperature of 2,300° F. They return to town and call the state police, who notify the military. Almost immediately, men in uniform cordon off the area, dig up the burned areas to a depth of one foot, and carry the material away.

Description: (Translated from French) Three occupants of small size but of almost human appearance, were reportedly taken inside the base and received in a specially arranged hangar, building 930. In 1973, Robert Emmeneger and Allan Sandler were said to have received an invitation from the director of the AF OSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations) to study the possibility of making a documentary about this first contact. It seems that at that time President Nixon, or at least his administration, had seriously considered revealing part of the truth to the public. (April 26, 1964)

Locations: La Madera, New Mexico; Rio Vallecitos creek bed
Description: Around 1:00 a.m. Orlando Gallegos steps outside his father’s ranch at La Madera, New Mexico, to chase away some horses in the yard. He sees a peculiar structure in the Rio Vallecitos creek bed some 900 feet away. It looks like a butane tank “as long as a telephone pole” about 14 feet in diameter, metallic, and shooting blue flames out of holes in the sides. As he watches over the next minute, the flames subside. It is still there when he goes inside, where no one else believes him. It is gone the next morning, but state police (including Capt. Martin E.

Strangely, he noticed that no birds were flying in the sky on this beautiful day and it was strangely quiet. When the photo of the child was developed, a "spaceman" appeared on the picture. Nobody had observed it visually. The air force asked for the negatives, because this "spaceman" was exactly the same as the two seen on the Woomera video cameras on the same day. (BBC 2 broadcast on 11.4.1995 hosted by Jenny Randles, FSR) IN REALITY: Photo published on 12 June in the "Cumberland News" and on 13 June 1964 by the "Daily Mirror" and the "Daily Express".

Description: NICAP publishes its special 184-page report, The UFO Evidence, but due to a printing delay, copies are not actually available until late June. Copies are sent to the media and to every member of Congress on July 1. Edited by Richard H. Hall, it consists of a summary of hundreds of unexplained reports studied by NICAP investigators through 1963. Sightings are systematically broken down by witness category and special types of evidence. Individual chapters are devoted to sightings by military personnel, pilots and aviation experts, and scientists and engineers. Another chapter is devoted to evidence of intelligent control and another to physical evidence or interactions, such as electromagnetic effects, radar tracking, photographs, sound, physiological effects. Another section examines observed patterns, such as descriptions of shape, color, maneuvers, flight behavior, and concentrations of sightings. House Majority Leader John W. McCormack (D-Mass.) requests two copies, one for his Capitol Hill office and another for his state home office.

Event 24109 (E8114F50)

Date: 5/3/1964
Description: (Translated from French) Near Canberra (Australia), various people on the ground see a large, bright white object flying northeast in the dark sky. The object appears to waver as if losing power or partially losing control. Distant observers then see a smaller object, visible with a faint red light, hovering nearby. The large white object moves towards the small one and appears to collide with it. Then the large object turns, stops wavering, and moves out of sight. According to the report of the astonished observers, the incident could be either an attack of the large object on the small one or a refueling or recharging operation. The observers' report will be examined by Dr. Paul Siple, scientific attaché of the US Embassy in Canberra, and two engineers from NASA. They will conclude, first of all, that the observers indeed saw what they described. They will also conclude that the mysterious objects were not known or made on Earth devices. The embassy transmitted all this to Washington, D.C., in Airgram A-894, a copy of which is archived by NICAP. (May 3rd, just before sunrise)

Description: (Translated from French) Mr. and Mrs. Ahmed Bey were driving along a secluded stretch of road. Suddenly Mrs. Bey pointed out to her husband through the windshield, a disk that had just appeared in the sky, spinning. The two spouses were surprised by the size of the object (...) as big as a house. (...) It hovered over the road in front of the car, hesitating and jerking. They suddenly saw it descend and it hit the ground in a burst of flames. At the moment the object fell, a huge hairy creature emerged from it and bounced on the ground a little further away. It got up staggering and leapt onto the road. Then, with fantastic strides, it headed towards the Bey's car, who, horrified, desperately tried to hide under the dashboard. Mr. Bey stopped his vehicle. Taking a knife out of his pocket, he opened the door and stood in front of the monstrous saucer. The giant was soon upon him. Mr. Bey struck him, but it had no effect. Then the creature grabbed the man, clawed him, lifted him off the ground and let him fall, and finally trampled him. Mrs. Bey, in the utmost horror, managed to escape and ran like a madwoman. For some unknown reason, the being did not follow her. Exhausted, she reached the police. (...) They found the battered body of Mr. Ahmed Bey lying across the railway track. He had been beaten to death (...)

Description: Between 11:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. Two targets are simultaneously tracked on surveillance and FPS-16 radars at Stallion Site, the most northerly range of the Army-controlled Holloman–White Sands complex a few miles east of San Antonio, New Mexico. The targets are north of the radar site, performing “perfect, precise flight maneuvers” in tandem, involving separations and rejoins and “up-and-down ‘pogo’ maneuvers.” One radar operator obtains a visual sighting of two brown-colored, football-shaped objects that are flying at very low altitude and are lost from view behind buildings at the site. The two targets are displayed as skin paints. However, IFF transponder codes are also received on two different frequencies alternately.

Event 24174 (38B0A57C)

Date: 5/24/1964
Location: Burgh by Sands, Cumbria, England
Description: James P. Templeton, using a Pentacon camera with Kodacolor X stock, takes a photo of his 5-year-old daughter Elizabeth when his family is picnicking on the marshes at Burgh by Sands, Cumbria, England. When the film is developed, a man, encased in a white spacesuit and helmet, is clearly visible behind Elizabeth’s head. Templeton and his family claim they had seen no one when the photo was taken. He tells the Carlisle police, who are puzzled. Kodak is intrigued enough to conduct an inquiry. They rule out a double exposure. However, one possibility is that the image is an overexposed view of the back of Templeton’s wife. After the photo receives some local publicity, Templeton gets a call from someone describing himself as an investigator. Templeton agrees to meet with him and an associate and visit the marsh. Two men dressed in dark business suits show up and drive him to the site. They refuse to give Templeton their names, referring to themselves only as “9” and “11.” They are mostly interested in finding out if any nearby animals had been agitated. Then they insist that the figure was just a passerby, get angry, and drive away, leaving Templeton stranded and having to walk home 5 miles away.

Event 24186 (345BBA03)

Date: 5/26/1964
Locations: Cambridge, Massachusetts; Sears Roebuck store
Description: 7:43 p.m. Paul Wańkowicz, RAF pilot and ex-Smithsonian satellite tracker, sees a thin, white ellipsoid, estimated at 15–20 feet in length at 1,000 feet altitude, at Cambridge, Massachusetts. It flies straight and level from nearly overhead to the east-northeast, where it disappears behind the roof of a Sears Roebuck store as viewed from his car in the parking lot to the south. He briefly loses sight of it as it passes behind cumulus cloud cover. No noise or trail. The tops of cumulus clouds are at least 3,500 feet altitude, thus the UFO’s speed is at least 700 mph and length 50– 70 feet.

Event 24195 (30A1BAD2)

Date: 6/1964
Locations: Green Lake, British Columbia; Vancouver
Description: 6:30 p.m. Bert Gammie, his mother, and his daughter Lynn are driving along the northern shore of Green Lake, British Columbia, when they see a light above a mountain across the lake to the south. Soon they notice it is moving and is now almost directly overhead. He stops the car and gets out for a closer look. The object is circular, dull metallic, and has a series of vents in the tail trailing white, blue, red, and orange exhaust. They watch it for 3 minutes moving slowly to the north at about 50 mph and making a whistling noise. It makes a sharp right-angle turn, proceeds west, and disappears from sight. Gammie reports the sighting to the RCAF in Vancouver, and a senior air force officer visits him later and shows him a bulky portfolio of glossy UFO photos, many of them showing detailed features. Gammie tells him that the UFO he had seen did not exactly resemble any of the photos, and the officer tells him that the RCAF would not admit to interviewing him if the case receives any publicity.

Description: (Translated from French) At 4 in the morning, a doctor from Buenos Aires and his wife were driving about 30 km from the international airport when the engine stalled. They were confronted with a huge and extraordinary machine blocking the road. Its very powerful lights went out, leaving only a violet light coming from the object, and they stayed there, sitting, perplexed, for about 20 minutes. Suddenly a figure approached their car and asked in Spanish: "What's going on, my friend?" The doctor replied that the engine had stalled. The man suggested trying to start it again. He did, and the engine started, as did the headlights, so that they could now see the machine in front of them. The stranger then said: "Don't be afraid. I am a terrestrial (!). I have a mission to accomplish on Earth. My name is R... D... Warn humanity, in your own way!". He moved away to join two beings dressed in gray who had just appeared. All three entered the machine, which rose quickly and disappeared, leaving a violet trail behind it. (June 5, 1964)

Description: Police Chief Richard Crawford of Elmore, Ohio spotted a bright, motionless blinking object emitting multi-colored lights near the intersection of Route 51 and Nissen Road at 10:15 p.m. Some kind of halo surrounded it. After about 20 minutes a spotlight was aimed at the object, and it went away. It was again seen at the local school half an hour before midnight, at an altitude of about 1000 feet, flying at a good speed to the northwest, toward the town of Genoa. It made the sound of a bullet flying by one's ear. Crawford radioed another policeman and asked him to meet him at a certain point. The other officer arrived there first, and witnessed the object giving off bursts of light once per second. It took off again when Crawford arrived, changed course at high speed, and was lost to sight in a few seconds.

The first time the UFO caused such tremendous condensation on all their windows that they had to stop and wipe the windows. When the thing reappeared they saw that it was about 16 feet high, 20 feet wide, and had what appeared to be two big blades revolving clockwise as it flew along silently above the road. Some distance ahead there was a stationary rectangular dark red light about 50 cm square. To their amazement they saw the larger object scoop up this light and vanish at high speed.

Event 24257 (32CDF4DB)

Date: 6/25/1964
Location: USA, Ely (Nevada)
Description: (Translated from French) George W. Rogers of Spring Valley was driving with his brother Bert towards Ely when they saw a strange craft in front of them on the road. At first it was on the side at 1.20 m from the ground. They had only seen the top and their first thought was that it was a jeep that had swerved. Then it had risen and come above the road where it had landed for a short moment on a kind of 60 cm pedestal. The two men were then a few meters away from the object. It looked like a pyramid roof, but the tip was on the side of the thin pedestal. It was slightly curved and was spinning quickly. George Rogers had jumped out of the car and run to touch the object. At the moment he had approached, the thing had emitted a loud rumble and had jumped about 3 m high to come back down on the road 15 m further. George had approached 3 or 4 times, it had been the same thing. "It suddenly came to me that I was stirring around something I knew nothing about. Bert was shouting at me to stay away from this object. I eventually thought he was right and I went back to the driver's seat." A moment later the object had risen slowly and had flown away at full speed towards the east. The two men said that the thing looked like an upside-down roof, the sides were shiny as if they had been made of plastic and had a red mark or emblem that he had not seen well because the craft kept spinning.

Date: 6/29/1964
Description: Lavonia, Georgia - Driving near the Georgia-South Carolina border late in the evening, Beauford Parham experienced a close encounter with a huge, amber colored, spinning top-shaped UFO. It made a hissing sound "like a million snakes". The witness felt a burning sensation in his body while the UFO hovered just in front of car for more than a minute as he travelled along at 65 mph. The UFO went up over the car, leaving a strong odor like "embalming fluid" and a gaseous vapor covered his car. The UFO came straight at his car again and the engine of his car began to miss. He stopped the car, and the object "spun like crazy" and then took off, disappearing in a split second. Parham's hands continued to burn even after he washed them. An oily substance on the car persisted after several washings, and the car's hood was warped with bubbled up paint.

Event 24271 (618E2FC8)

Date: 6/30/1964
Locations: Lavonia, Georgia; Anderson Regional Airport in South Carolina
Description: 1:00 a.m. Beauford E. Parham is driving near Lavonia, Georgia, on his way back from a business trip when he notices a brilliant light in the sky. It is moving towards his car at a 45° angle. In an instant it appears right in front of his headlights, no more than 5 feet away and a foot above the ground. Shaped like a giant top, it emits a “hissing sound like a million snakes.” The amber-colored UFO has a sharp, steeple-like cone rising from its top midsection. It moves above his car leaving a strong odor of embalming fluid and a gaseous vapor that leaves an oily substance over his car, even after repeated washings. After several passes over his car, it starts spinning and takes off vertically. Parham now notices his arms are beginning to burn. He immediately reports his sighting to the mayor of Lavonia, then personnel at the Anderson Regional Airport in South Carolina, where he meets local FAA officials who check his car for radiation. They get readings from the oily stains, as well as both his arms from the shoulder down.

Description: (Translated from French) Two prototypes of such an ionic engine were tested in July 1964, in the United States. The characteristic of these devices is to provide only an extremely weak thrust, of the order of half a gram, but to be able to sustain it, without refueling, for years. Since the acceleration is constant, the speed could reach 200,000, 300,000 km/h... which does not exclude the invention of propulsion based on phenomena still under study in laboratories. (July 1964)

Location: Turnerville, Georgia
Description: Around 9:00 p.m. Three members of the Henry Ivester family in Turnerville, Georgia, are watching TV when sudden interference prevents them from further viewing. They go out on the front porch and see an object moving silently above the trees 300 feet away. It stops to hover a few feet above a neighbor’s garden across the highway. Its bottom side is fully visible; on the dark upper side are three lights: red, clear, red. The red lights are blinking. As the object ascends, the lights go out. A brilliant green light then shines from the bottom, illuminating the trees. A foul odor “like embalming fluid or brake fluid” hangs in the air after the object leaves.

Location: Conklin, New York
Description: Shortly after noon. Five boys (Edmund Travis, Randy Travis, Floyd Moore, Billy Dunlap, and Gary Dunlap) are playing around an apple tree at Conklin, New York, when they notice a shiny, dome-shaped object in a field along the roadside. Looking for the source of a whistling sound, the boys spot a 3-foot-tall humanoid figure crouching in a tree about 150 feet away. It is dressed in a shiny black uniform, short-sleeved shirt, and black helmet. The whistling appears to emanate from his stomach. The boys throw stones and apples at it, but the figure is too far away. After about 15 minutes, the figure, moving stiffly, falls backwards out of the tree and floats slowly into the bushes. They can see it crawling through the weeds back to the UFO. A round, flattened area is found in the field where the grass is crushed and bushes are broken. In the middle is dried, yellow moss that apparently has been subjected to great heat. Three depressions are where the UFO legs apparently were.

Description: A former Navy pilot and another man, both regarded as trustworthy, were at work in a field when they saw an intense light, cone-shaped, emitted from the ground. A similar light was observed in the sky when the one on ground was turned off, then the reverse took place. A round, aluminum-looking object, about 10 m in diameter, with one red and one white light, then appeared and descended to ground level with a strong whistling sound similar to a small jet. Piercing and high-pitched voices similar to those of children playing were heard. After 40 min the craft took off. Before it did so, a jet aircraft flying at low altitude circled its position. On Jul. 31 and August 1, the densely wooded area was explored from a helicopter and on foot by Sheriff Nickell and a U.S. Air Force officer, but nothing was found.

A similar light was observed in the sky when the one on the ground was turned off, then the reverse took place: the cone-shaped light in the sky emitted a burst which was responded to by one from the ground. A round, aluminium-looking object, about 10 meters in diameter, with one red and one white light, then appeared and descended to ground level with a strong whistling sound similar to a small jet.

High-pitched piercing voices, similar to those of children screaming while playing, were heard. After 40 minutes the craft took off. Before it did so, a jet aircraft flying at low altitude circled its position. On July 31st and August 1st, the densely wooded area where the light was seen was explored from a helicopter and on foot by Sheriff Nickell and a U. S. Air Force officer, but nothing was found.

Event 24364 (0F4A07AB)

Date: 8/1964
Locations: Kallavesi lake, Finland; Åbo Akademi University in Turku; University of Turku
Description: 7:00 p.m. Raimo Blomqvist is visiting with his parents at their summer cottage at Kallavesi lake, Finland, when he suddenly notices a strange, colorful ball of light coming from the sky. The light approaches and turns out to be an oval glowing object. While it is hovering above the shallow water of an island he sees something fall from the object and hears a sound resembling hot metal touching cold water. The object shoots straight upward. Blomqvist recovers a 2–2.5-inch piece of stone. In 1975, Blomqvist contacts UFO investigators and gives them the stone. The fragment is x-ray analyzed at Åbo Akademi University in Turku, which states that it appears to be volcanic. Analysts at the University of Turku look at it with a mass spectrometer and conclude it is mostly iron, not a piece of ore, not volcanic, not a meteorite, and not machined, although it has been subjected to a temperature of around 650° C.

Suddenly a “dark, cloud-like object” approaches at high speed. As it passes by, the trees shake and they hear an explosion. They return the next day and less than 2 miles from their campsite they find a compact, gelatinous mass of green-turquoise color about 8 inches long. When they poke it with a stick, the stick becomes covered with a sticky substance like chewing gun. They report the incident to the authorities, but no one is interested. One of the witnesses returns 3 days later and finds most of the mass gone, with some residue on the rocks and grass.

Description: (Translated from French) Reports of a hairy creature in the Girds area were reported. This was after the wave of mysterious object sightings during the previous three weeks in Bitter Roots. The description of the UFO was made by the couple Ron Ballew and Helen Ballew of Darby, matching the previous descriptions of an object emitting intense light. It was from lumberjack Lou Smalley that we have the report of his encounter with the hairy creature. Smalley was in a truck, on his way to load logs. When he came out of a hollow on the road, he saw the creature on a rock above the path. "I saw it clearly for several seconds," he comments, "it was not human." The creature was about 1.5 meters tall, had a hairy or furry appearance, and was not wearing any clothes. It was standing like a man, but it was not human. Smalley has often hunted bears or cougars, and claims that the creature does not look like anything normal.

Description: (Translated from French) One night a bright fireball of red-orange color was observed, shaped like a circular saw. It flew slowly in the low sky and finally landed on a wooded hill. Militiamen immediately rushed into the forest to see what it was. They stealthily approached, the circular saw-shaped ball was sparkling, resting on the ground of a clearing. As its luminosity was very intense, the witnesses did not dare to look at it directly. In the center of the bright ball, there seemed to be a dark area, less bright. When the militiamen arrived close to the clearing, the object suddenly flew vertically and disappeared in a blink of an eye. (1964, mid-August)

Mannsman states the CIA confiscated the film. The event is corroborated by Lt. Robert M. Jacobs, who was in charge of filming the test flight. Both men state the UAP was a domed, disc shaped craft that pivoted on its vertical axis before emitting four beams of light onto the warhead. The UAP then left camera frame, and the warhead tumbled and fell into the ocean short of its target.

Event 24437 (D9174E30)

Date: 9/4/1964 (approximate)
Location: USA, near Cisco Grave (Northern California)
Description: (Translated from French) The witness was hunting when he became separated from his companions and lost his way. Night was falling; he lit some fires to attract attention to the place where he was. He saw a light in the sky and thought it was a helicopter sent to look for him. But the thing stopped and began to hover silently around. The witness climbed a tree to get a better view. The light circled the tree and he saw a flash and a dark thing fall to the ground. Then he saw a silhouette walking heavily in the woods below him, and another coming from a different direction. The two silhouettes approached the tree. They were a little over 5 feet tall, wearing a silver outfit that covered their heads. A third creature appeared, which acted more like a machine than a man or an animal. It was darker than the others and its eyes were red-orange. It had no mouth but a kind of slit that opened like the door of an oven. These entities seemed to be looking for all kinds of ways to make the witness fall from the tree, who in turn threw pieces of paper and clothes at them, to which they reacted with fear. The robotic entity dropped its lower jaw, and from the rectangular cavity where it put its hand, it emitted a puff of smoke towards the witness! This smoke spread like fog and would have made the witness unconscious for some time. (September 4 (or 5?) 1964)

Event 24445 (873E7352)

Date: 9/4/1964
Locations: Chile; US
Description: Declassified documents show that from 1962 through 1964, the CIA has spent a total of $2.6 million to finance the campaign of Eduardo Frei Montalva for the presidency of Chile and spent $3 million in anti–Salvador Allende propaganda “to scare voters away from Allende’s FRAP coalition.” Richard Helms coordinates the action. The CIA considers its role in the victory of Frei a great success. They argue that “the financial and organizational assistance given to Frei, the effort to keep [Julio] Durán in the race, the propaganda campaign to denigrate Allende—were ‘indispensable ingredients of Frei’s success,’” and they think that his chances of winning and the good progress of his campaign would have been doubtful without the covert support of the US. Thus, in 1964 Allende loses once more as the FRAP candidate for president.

Event 24446 (40AA6BE9)

Date: 9/4/1964
Description: Shortly before 8:00 p.m. two teenagers in Glassboro, New Jersey were approached by two tall blond men, who had long hair and were barefoot. They asked the boys if they were interested in seeing a UFO. They walked to an apple orchard where they saw a red light land in the woods, and then take off. A burnt crater was found by the NICAP investigator, with tripod indentations. The US Air Force was called and performed a perfunctory, sloppy investigation of the case, but NICAP did a more thorough job. In addition to the burnt area and ground marks, some white powdery balls were found that were cold to the touch. After touching them the witnesses' hands retained numbness for 24 hours.

Event 24447 (8AFED2D6)

Date: 9/4/1964
Description: That same evening two men had gone bow hunting in the forest near Cisco Grove, California. One of the men, Mr. D. Shrum, age 28, became lost and climbed a tree. It was then, at around 10:00 p.m., that he noticed a domed object with a blinking light on top descend and land. Two short humanoid beings, wearing silvery white coveralls, and a robot-looking creature got out and approached his location. They attempted to climb the tree after him in an apparent effort to capture him, but were unsuccessful. The robot released a vapor that drifted up to him and made him groggy, but before he lost consciousness he was able to tie himself to the tree trunk with his belt. He shot arrows at the robot, but the arrows just bounced off and caused no damage. The beings remained in the area, as far as he could tell, for most of the night. He stayed in the tree for eleven hours.

From a vantage point in a tree, he saw a dome-shaped object at ground level, about 500 m away. Several creatures, one of them a robotlike figure with "eyes" about 10 cm in diameter, came near, apparently trying to dislodge the witness from his tree. The creatures appeared to fear the light from flaming objects thrown at them. The witness fell asleep after an exhausting series of attempts to keep the creatures away. At dawn there was nothing to be seen.

Event 24452 (9F7C2529)

Date: 9/5/1964
Locations: Placer County, California; Loch Leven Lakes; Cisco Grove
Description: 10:00 p.m. Donald Schrum and his friends are bow-and-arrow hunting in an isolated area of Placer County, California, near the Loch Leven Lakes in the vicinity of Cisco Grove. Schrum becomes separated from his companions. At sunset he decides to sleep in a tree for the night. Later he sees a white light zigzagging at low altitude and, thinking it is a helicopter, jumps out of the tree and lights fires to attract its attention. The light turns toward him and stops about 50–60 yards away. The object’s strange appearance frightens Schrum, so he climbs back up in the tree. After a while two humanoid beings and a robot-like creature approach the tree. From then on, Schrum is in a state of siege as the beings try to dislodge him from the tree. At one point a white vapor emanates from the robot’s mouth and Schrum blacks out, but wakes up again, nauseous, and begins lighting matches and throwing them down to frighten the beings away; they back away. Finally, he shoots an arrow at the robot; when it hits, there is an arc flash and the robot is knocked backwards. This is repeated two more times, and the humanoids scatter each time. A second robot appears and a vapor renders Schrum unconscious. When he awakes, he discovers that the two humanoids are climbing up the tree toward him, so he shakes the tree and throws things down at them to ward them off. The same actions are repeated all night. Near dawn, more beings approach and “large volumes of smoke” drift up and he blacks out. He awakes hanging from his belt, and the creatures are gone. Later, when reunited with his companions, Schrum finds that one of the other hunters, who also have gotten lost and separated from their camp, saw the UFO.

Event 24471 (BDE151C3)

Date: 9/15/1964
Locations: Vandenberg Space Force Base; Lompoc, California; Big Sur, California
Description: 8:27 a.m. USAF Lt. Robert Jacobs is officer-in-charge of photo-optical instrumentation for the 1369th Photographic Squadron at Vandenberg AFB [now Vandenberg Space Force Base] near Lompoc, California. His crew films an SM-65F Atlas missile launch where a UFO allegedly causes the ICBM’s warhead to malfunction over Big Sur, California. At the time of the filming, apparently no one knows anything about a UFO sighting. But the next morning, Jacobs is ordered to report to the office of Maj. Florenz J. Mansmann, First Strategic Aerospace Division, his commanding officer, where he is shown the film and told to forget it ever happened. Kingston George, the project engineer for the experiments and who probably never saw the film, “identified” the object as “nothing to do with UFOs” in an article in the Skeptical Enquirer. Before Mansmann’s death, and 40 years after the actual event, the major confirms the UFO incident in writing. The controversy centers on the opinions of some researchers who suggest that the telescope imaging system is not adequate enough to produce the results described by Jacobs and Mannsman. However, several other researchers have shown that, with the viewing conditions at the height of the equipment used, and the imaging systems operating at that shoot, the incident could have occurred as described.

Description: (Translated from French) The North American XB-70A Valkyrie, with 6 engines, was an experimental bomber designed for speeds of Mach 3 and higher. It was the largest of the experimental aircraft, with a length of 58 meters, a wingspan of 32 meters, and a height of 10 meters. It had two large vertical tail fins and a horizontal canard mounted on the fuselage, triangular wings whose tips could be lowered to increase lateral stability at supersonic speeds. It was constructed of titanium and stainless steel honeycomb and could withstand temperatures of 332°C for its Mach 3 high altitude flights. There were only two prototypes which the Department of Defense used for its Mach 3 research programs as part of the SST program. They were packed with measuring instruments that could measure 36 different data points transmitted directly to the ground. 900 other types of measurements were recorded in digital pulse code modulation at a rate of 20,000 data points per second.

Description: Deputy Missile Combat Crew Commander 1Lt. Philip E. Moore is on duty in Site 7 (east of Hagerman, New Mexico), one of the 579th Strategic Missile Squadron’s underground Atlas missile launch facilities at Walker AFB [now closed] in Roswell, New Mexico. He gets a call from an adjacent missile silo around 10–15 miles away, saying that a UFO is hovering and maneuvering over their site. Maj. Dan Gilbert sends three enlisted crew members—T/Sgt. Jack Nevins, Airman1C Bob Garner, and Airman 1C Mike Rundag—above ground to see what is going on. They see a silent light that moves very quickly (instant stop and instant go) back and forth between Site 6 and Site 8. Gilbert goes up and sees the same activity.

Event 24503 (668A7866)

Date: Late 1964
Description: USAF Lt. Col. Philip E. Moore states that while at Walker AFB, NM, he was on duty in one of the 579th Strategic Missile Squadron’s underground Atlas ICBM launch control capsules. Moore was at 579 Site 7 when he and his commander Maj. Dan Gilbert got a call from 579 Site 6 or Site 8, south-southeast of Roswell, NM, that a UAP was hovering over their location. It would hover, rapidly leave, and then return. The hovering was reported by crew as “instantaneous” movement from Site 6 to Site 8 and back, repeatedly.

Though Moore states he was never told not to talk about it, in 2005, he stated: “I personally believe that there is something to the UFO-ICBM connection. I know the Air Force covers up when it feels the official need. UFOs over ICBM sites could be one of those official needs.”

Description: 8:15 p.m. A barking dog alerts the caretaker of the Butano Creek Girl Scout Camp near Pescadero, California. He goes outside and sees a bright light maneuvering erratically in the northeast. He flashes an SOS signal at it with a flashlight, and the light silently moves toward him. He flashes more SOS signals and it moves even closer, hovering above some trees a half mile away and moving back and forth. It lights up the sky like a full moon. The caretaker and another employee run into a cabin to get their wives. The four watch for a while longer, then flash another SOS. The light approaches again, then retreats, dims, and takes off.

Date: 11/19/1964
Locations: Atlantic Ocean; Puerto Rico; Roosevelt Roads Naval Station; José Aponte de la Torre Airport; Ceiba, Puerto Rico
Description: 9:00 p.m. The USS Gyatt destroyer is stationed in the Atlantic Ocean about 220 miles northwest of Puerto Rico when its radar detects a bogey approaching the island from the northeast at speeds exceeding Mach 1. The ship relays a message to Roosevelt Roads Naval Station [now José Aponte de la Torre Airport] in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, which then contacts Lt. Cmdr. K. H. Woodsbury, pilot of an F-8C aircraft of Utility Squadron Eight that is already flying in the neighborhood at an altitude of 30,000 feet. The aircraft reports a stranger closing in very fast. The pilot describes the object as delta-shaped and about the size of a fighter. Its color is black or gray and it has no contrail or lights except for a light source emitting from the tail during periods of acceleration. The pilot pursues the object but cannot intercept. The target accelerates out of sight in a wide starboard turn climbing through 50,000 feet at about an 18°–20° angle in excess of Mach 1. Woodsbury says: “Its speed, acceleration, ceiling and ability to decelerate exceed any aircraft I have ever seen or heard of. There is no reasonable explanation for this target.” During the encounter the SPS-49 radar is jammed for a short period of time. Other radar encounters take place in the Caribbean November 16–18 and 24.

Event 24562 (8F1E8207)

Date: 11/25/1964
Location: New Berlin, New York
Description: 12:45 a.m. A 29-year-old woman sees two lighted objects land on a hilltop near New Berlin, New York. Through binoculars she can see some 9–11 humanoid beings apparently engaged in repair work on a round object with landing struts for four hours. Some of them are holding boxes filled with unusual gadgets. The next day, she and her husband and father-in-law find two equilateral triangular imprints on the site, as well as a cable with some thin aluminum strips and insulation. Around 4:55 a.m., one UFO shoots straight up and abruptly disappears, while the other rises straight up a minute later and follows the other one.

Event 24563 (71E85F23)

Date: 11/25/1964
Description: On this date in 1964, a famous UFO humanoid case lasting several hours was thoroughly documented by UFO investigator Ted Bloecher. Two women in New Berlin, New York watched the entire operation for four hours, beginning shortly after midnight. A luminous, disc-shaped object landed on a hill at a distance of 3,800 feet away from their house. Their dog became frightened. Ten to twelve 7'-8' tall men exited the craft and appeared to engage in repair activity, working underneath the disc. They appear to be unsuccessful in their repair activities at first, until a second disc landed, presumably to lend assistance. The UFO occupants wore dark close-fitting suits. Ground marks left at the site formed equilateral imprint triangles, 4.6 meters and 6.1 meters on a side. The UFOs made a humming or droning noise when they took off.

Location: Adams, Wisconsin
Description: 11:00 p.m. A family of five in Adams, Wisconsin, is returning home from Thanksgiving dinner when an extremely bright light appears over their car, completely shutting off its headlights and radio. The father jumps out of the car and looks straight up into the light, shading his eyes with his hands, but he is persuaded to come back. Suddenly the light disappears and the electrical systems return. No one talks about the incident for 16 years, when the father says the light was “motionless like a floodlight of gigantic proportion.”

Event 24581 (A6E7003A)

Date: 12/10/1964
Location: USA, Fort Riley Air Force Base (Kansas)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 2 in the morning, a flying saucer landed on the military base of Fort Riley, likely due to a motor failure. It was metallic grey, perfectly circular, with a diameter of around 20 meters and a height of 4 meters. It was surrounded at mid-height by a black band from which square nozzles protruded about 30 centimeters and were likely part of its propulsion system. It was not lit and did not emit any smell. As one of the witnesses would later say, it seemed absolutely dead, and nobody knew if there was a crew inside. After a few hours, specialized teams from the Air Force arrived at the scene with large tractors pulling a huge platform on which they loaded the saucer. They immediately took it away, without even trying to find out what was inside, and nobody ever saw it again. (December 10, 1964)

Event 24582 (80E614FE)

AK states there were no smells, vibrations or power coming from it and he was not aware of any life inside the craft; he went back to his barracks later that night and was not aware of any bodies recovered.

Event 24592 (D0A8EF49)

Date: 12/21/1964
Location: USA, between Staunton and Waynesboro.
Description: (Translated from French) Horace Burns, an armorer from Grottoes (Virginia) on Highway 250, jumped when he saw a huge cone-shaped object fly past his eyes and descend on the other side of the road in front of him. At one point, the object filled more than his windshield. Without engine failure or anything else, Burns felt forced to stop. The craft landed calmly in a meadow 100 m from the road. Burns counted six concentric circles that decreased in diameter as they approached the top, crowned with a dome. The whole thing emitted a bluish glow. He estimated the width to be 40 m and the height to be 25 m. There were no openings or connections visible during the minute and a half that the craft stayed on the ground. It took off at a right angle, immediately gaining great speed. Professor Ernest Gehman of Eastern Memmonite College was curious enough to examine the landing site: he discovered a concentration of radiation of 60,000 radiations per minute. (December 21, 1964)

Event 24593 (C82FFBD5)

Date: 12/21/1964
Description: (Translated from French) Horace Burns drives between Staunton and Waynesboro on US 250 (Washington DC). His car stalls when an immense cone-shaped UFO begins to hover above the road before landing in a nearby field. The UFO is topped with a dome and emits a blue light. After a few minutes, it takes off and disappears from Burns' view. Tests conducted by Professor Ernest Gehman and engineers from the Bridge Company reveal a high level of radiation at the spot where the UFO landed. The USAF investigation, conducted after 3 weeks of rain, snow and unwelcome visits to the field by curious onlookers, reveals no similar traces, and concludes that the appearance was a mirage. But, less than a month later, two motorists driving in the opposite direction along US 60, near Williamsburg (Virginia), report having observed an identical UFO. (December 21)

Event 24600 (E8BB4FB0)

Date: 12/21/1964
Locations: US Highway 250; Fishersville, Virginia
Description: 5:00 p.m. Driving east on US Highway 250, Horace Burns is approaching Fishersville, Virginia, when an enormous object appears from the north and descends slowly in a gradual slant. Just before it crosses the highway 200 feet in front of him, the UFO narrowly misses power lines. It is so huge that when it passes nearly in front of him, it fills his entire windshield. The UFO comes down gently and lands in a field to Burns’s right. Meanwhile, Burns’s car engine has shut off. The object appears to be at least 125 feet in diameter and 80–90 feet high. After 60–90 seconds, it rises up several hundred feet, makes a sound like rushing air, and shoots off to the northeast, vanishing from sight. A high level of radioactivity is detected at the site December 30 by investigators German professor Ernest G. Gehman and engineer Harry M. Cook. They obtain a Geiger counter reading of 16–18 milliR/hr. Two Blue Book investigators—T/Sgt. David N. Moody and S/Sgt. Harold T. Jones—visit the site with Gehman on January 12 and take further readings (1.5 milliR/hr on Burns’s left rear car door). They dispute Gehman’s earlier results, but a possible 11x–12x drop in radiation level in 13 days possibly indicates a radionuclide with a 3–4 day half-life.

Description: A gunsmith had a close encounter with a beehive-shaped UFO in rural Fisherville, Virginia. At five o’clock in the afternoon Mr. Burns was driving east on highway Route 250 east of Staunton when a 125-foot wide, beehive-shaped UFO slowly crossed the roadway ahead of him, causing his car to stall. As the metallic looking UFO descended it narrowly missed hitting some power lines. There was a bluish glow from the bottom. As it left, it rose to about 200 feet in altitude, tilted slightly, then disappeared quickly into the northeast. The car could then be restarted. Geiger counter tests showed abnormally high radioactivity in the area.

When the creature walked it didn’t bend its’ knees. R.M. later found out from a retired Air Force Colonel from Wight-Patterson AFB, that 2 live Aliens were held in captivity in an artificial environment. The Colonel also said that a 2-man sized craft crashed near Whitewater Lake, Indiana, as a result of an electrical disturbance in the atmosphere. (The Alien would have to lock his knees in a high-gravity environment to avoid falling down.)

Locations: Groom Lake, Nevada; Area 51
Description: A-12 pilot Ken Collins continues to test A-12s at Groom Lake, Nevada. One night (in 1964 or 1965 maybe), he is awakened by base commander Col. Hugh “Slip” Slater and asked to take an A-12 up to find a Russian reconnaissance balloon that is floating in American airspace in a westerly direction with the prevailing winds. Collins is tasked with finding the balloon visually and using radar. In the air, he realizes it is a wild goose chase because, flying at 2,200 mph, even if he sees the balloon briefly it would be behind him in a second. He identifies an object on radar 350 miles away. He circles it as closely as he can, which is a circle with a radius of 400 miles. He never makes visual contact and returns to Area 51. Jacobsen says that this Soviet violation of US airspace has “never been declassified.”

Event 24630 (9D348D42)

Date: Early 1/1965
Location: USA, Lynchburg (Virginia)
Description: (Translated from French) A witness reported having seen the landing of two silent and unlit UFOs, descending into a wooded area near Lynchburg. One had a diameter of 24 m, the other 6 m. Three creatures of 75 cm in height disembarked, approaching up to 10 m from the petrified witness. They were of humanoid type and had strange eyes, "which looked straight through me" said the witness. They emitted unintelligible sounds then pivoted and returned to the object from which they had come out. A door opened, they entered and the opening seemed to seal itself in such a way that there was no trace left. The encounter is presumed to have lasted about 30 minutes and to have started at 5:40 pm. (1965, beginning of January)

Description: 8:20 p.m. A Mrs. Jubert in Custer, Washington, sees through her window what seems to be the landing lights of an airplane apparently coming into her yard. She herds her three teenage girls outside in the opposite direction. The four lights merge into one intense white light, which moves in a straight line toward the house, lifts several hundred feet and clears a clump of evergreens, then dips down on the far side and touches the ground. A border patrol officer also sees the object after he is alerted by radio. He is buzzed by the UFO, which is low enough that he stops his car, gets out, and watches it move out of sight. Where the object lands in 16 inches of snow, they find a large circular imprint about 10–12 feet in diameter. The ground beneath the melted snow ring shows evidence of having been scorched. Oval-shaped tracks 8 inches long and 8 inches apart, in a single file, are found leading from the landing site to the evergreens, where they disappear. One month later, the circular area still shows traces.

Event 24689 (41B5C48A)

Date: 1/19/1965
Description: (Translated from French) Industrial draftsman William Blackburn was cutting wood near the snow-covered field belonging to the Augusta club when he saw a pyramid - or cone-shaped object - descending from the sky towards the south. This UFO then remained stationary at an estimated altitude of 900 m. Blackburn estimated its diameter to be greater than 60 m. As he watched, a smaller UFO, about 18 m in diameter, landed 15 m away from him. Its surface was polished like a mirror. At the top was a bell that gave Blackburn a rather strange impression when he observed it. An opening appeared on the side of the UFO, as if someone had taken a piece of pie out of it, and 3 humanoid figures emerged floating: their feet never touched the ground. They approached within 11 m of Blackburn and emitted various unintelligible sounds. They were about 1 m tall but, apart from this detail, they looked like ordinary humans. Blackburn, petrified, did not answer them and the beings returned floating to their craft. Then the two UFOs quickly left. There were no traces in the snow. Shortly after Blackburn's story was published in the local newspaper, the Waynesboro News-Virginian, a car with federal license plates appeared in town: the inhabitants said it was visible as the nose on the face. Blackburn was apparently severely warned by government agents (belonging to an agency he did not want to cite) not to say anything more about his experience. (18:15)

Description: 6:15 p.m. William Blackburn, a draftsman at a General Electric plant, is chopping wood at an archery range east of Staunton, Virginia, in an area known locally as Brands Flats. He sees two saucer-like shapes in the sky at 2,000–4,000 feet altitude. The larger one seems to be about 80 feet across. The smaller one, 20 feet across, descends quickly and silently and lands 45–55 feet away from Blackburn. A door opens, making a slight noise and revealing an interior light. Three figures, each 3 feet tall and wearing tight-fitting metallic-looking suits, emerge. They have reddish-orange skin and piercing eyes. One has an extra-long finger on its left hand. They speak in an unintelligible language, then return to the UFO. The door closes so perfectly that an outline cannot be seen, and the object takes off. The entire episode lasts only 5 minutes. Blackburn sees no traces in the snow, but thinks the object and humanoids are hovering.

Locations: US Highway 250; Brands Flats, Virginia
Description: Evening. Steven Houffer, 16, and six friends are driving on US Highway 250 near Brands Flats, Virginia, when they see a small man walking toward the road from a field. He sits down and peers intently at passing cars. Houffer stops the car and he and his friends get out. When they approach, the being runs up a hill. Two other entities appear and run in the same direction. They are all about 3.5 feet tall, wear silvery one-piece garments, and leave no footprints. Police officers conduct a search with local photographer Charles Weaver, but find nothing. Some time later, Houffer and Weaver see a “glowing aluminum barn,” which they go down to investigate. Weaver is walking around inside when something hits him on the head. The two turn to run after Weaver snaps a photo. In the light of the flashbulb, they see a little man standing by the barn. The photo is allegedly confiscated by government agents. A local man, Donald Cash, 6 feet tall, confesses to dressing up in overalls to pose as an alien, although his story does not completely match the details of the account.

Event 24717 (51407498)

Date: 1/26/1965
Description: A group of teenagers, including Steve Miller, age 16, were driving on Route 250 near Brands Flats, Virginia at 7:30 p.m. when they saw a little man about 3 ½ feet tall sitting by the road watching the cars go by. He was wearing a silvery looking one-piece outfit. They got out of the car and pursued the little man. Two more little men joined the first and ran with him, and they easily outran the teens leaving no footprints in the muddy ground. The group then contacted the Staunton police, and within an hour a group of police were on the scene, as well as a young news photographer, Charles Weaver. Weaver, and another man named Huffer approached a barn, which the photographer entered first. Huffer heard his companion call out to him, and when Huffer entered the barn he found Weaver on the ground. Weaver claimed something struck him and knocked him down. The pair left the barn quickly, but as they fled they thought they saw a little man standing in front of the building. Weaver paused long enough to take a photo before joining up with the other investigators. The disposition of the photograph has never been determined.

Description: 6:00 p.m. NASA research engineer A. G. Crimmins Jr. observes an object at Plum Tree Island Wildlife Refuge, near Poquoson, Virginia, that is approximately 75 feet across and 10–15 feet in height. The object has 3– 7 lights colored red and orange and appears to rotate. It moves approximately a quarter mile west of its original position on a zigzag course and then appears to land on the ocean shore. It remains still for about 5 minutes, then takes off to the north and turns right to depart to the east at a high rate of speed. Crimmins watches it through 20x binoculars. The same object is apparently seen by retired USAF Maj. John R. Nayadley, another NASA research engineer, who observes a V-shaped object with blinking red-orange lights over Hampton, Virginia.

Event 24725 (64040E77)

Date: 1/28/1965
Location: USA, Staunton, Virginia
Description: (Translated from French) A young man went to the police to say that he and his friends had encountered three little space men and that one of his friends had taken a photo to prove it. The boy, Steven, said that they were seven in a car driving to Brand Flats when they saw someone coming out of a field towards the road, seeming to examine the cars that passed by. Remembering stories of flying saucers in the area, he stopped the car. They got out and tried to catch the entity that ran away up the hill. It was on the hill that two other entities appeared. They ran much faster than the boys. They were about 1.2 meters tall and were covered in a one-piece silver-colored tight suit. In the field there were no footprints of the strangers. The police sent 10 men, including a photographer, to investigate. After an hour, having found no evidence, the police left, but the young man stayed on the spot with the photographer. That's how they found a small shiny aluminum shed where they entered. At that moment they had the impression that the shed was lifted and they quickly left, but Wilson managed to photograph it as it rose. In the light of the flash, Wilson saw one of the little men standing next to the shed. [Note from Vog: All these stories from the cited source seem abracadabrant to me... because here, the young man initially claims that one of his friends has already taken a photo, while in the story, it is the photographer sent by the police who takes one...]

It was perched on the side of the hill less than 10 minutes from Roderick's home. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning when the event occurred, during one of his usual night walks. He heard a faint buzzing and saw the ship. After landing, a voice coming from the object assured Roderick of the friendly intentions of the visitors. Then, a character called Ziena emerged through a door at ground level. Roderick was invited inside, which was at least two stories high. There were 14 rooms, and the crew, of perfectly human appearance, wore an elegant blue-white outfit. Inside the ship the light was also bluish-white. The character Ziena spoke English. Among themselves, the other members communicated through facial expressions and gestures. Roderick received a message of peace with a religious aspect...

Event 24735 (BD21A2F0)

Date: 1/30/1965
Description: Sid Padrick, age 52, was walking on the beach in Manresa Beach, Santa Cruz County, California just before 2.00 a.m. when he heard a sound and saw a large dark disc-shaped object that approached from the Pacific Ocean. He started to run from it, but heard a voice frpm it saying, “Do not be frightened, we are not hostile.” It descended to within two feet of the beach. Mr. Padrick was invited by the voice to come onboard, which he did. The UFO, which bore no lights, was shaped like a 50 foot sphere with top and bottom cut off, and surrounded by a horizontal flange. The witness entered through a brilliantly lit antechamber, and was met by a young man dressed in a tight fitting, bluish white two piece uniform, continuous with the boots. The UFO occupant identified himself as "Zeeno" and said that he came from a planet invisible to us, as it is always behind one of the planets we can see. He further explained that their society had no sickness, vice or crime. Padrick saw on a TV screen another such vessel, identified as their “navigating craft.” He was taken for a ride to a spot in the mountains and brought back to the beach after two hours.

Date: Early 2/1965
Location: ARGENTINA, Torrent (Corrientes)
Description: (Translated from French) First week. One night a resident asked his neighbors to come out and observe five luminous objects flying over the area. Then, a transparent craft landed and from it emerged five "Martians" about 2 meters tall, each with a single eye in the center of their forehead. On their heads were instruments emitting flashes of different colors. They entered a farm and tried to seize a man, but retreated in the face of the determined attitude of the villagers and fled. On February 6th they returned and were seen by many people. Once again they tried to seize a man and failed. He escaped and raised the alarm. The villagers came out in force and fired shots at the "Martians" but apparently to no effect. (1965, Early February)

Event 24766 (210250AC)

Date: 2/12/1965
Description: A strange looking plane was seen to dive into the sea near Minehead on the North Devon, England coast. Four witnesses saw it from two different points along the coast. A lifeboat, two RAF helicopters, and a Shackleton failed to find anything after a 90 minute search, and no planes were reported missing. The "ghost plane" may have been seen inland before it reached the sea, for a strange low-flying plane was reportedly seen over Swainswick, near Bath in Somerset, England. The ash-grey "plane" was flying about 100 feet above the road in a west-southwestly direction. It had a misty appearance, despite the fact that there was no fog or mist at the time. It came from behind some trees, and then literally just disappeared. "The strange part was that it made no sound and did not appear to have an engine, but it was certainly not a glider."

Event 24776 (070F716F)

Date: 2/21/1965
Location: ARGENTINA Chalac
Description: (Translated from French) The place is located near the Argentinian-Paraguayan border. Several saucers were seen in flight and one of them landed. About 50 Indians from the Toba tribe remained astonished while three tall beings, enveloped in luminous halos, descended from the craft and approached slowly. The Indians knelt and paid homage to them, raising their arms according to the tradition of the Sun worship ceremony of their ancestors. They then heard a voice coming from the creatures of the craft saying that they should not be afraid, for the People of Space would soon return to convince the Earthlings of their existence and to bring peace to the world. An Indian who tried to approach the machine was dissuaded by gestures. The visitors then returned slowly to the craft, bathed during this time in the luminous rays coming from the small wings of the craft. The craft flew away, its luminosity becoming blinding. Argentine police officers were present and took a number of photographs of the craft.

Event 24779 (13865F47)

Date: 2/21/1965
Description: At least 50 members of the Toba Indian tribe in Chalac, Formosa Province, Argentina watched as a group of UFOs were seen flying overhead at around 9 p.m. One of the craft, bathed constantly in light beams emanating from small wing-like projections, landed in a pasture, and three tall beings enveloped in luminous halos emerged, causing the local population to go down on their knees. The beings approached slowly, with gestures that dissuaded one of the Indians from coming any closer to the UFO. A voice was then heard, telling the witnesses to remain calm for there was nothing to fear, and that the space people would return to bring peace on earth. The humanoids then returned to their craft, which then took off with a blinding luminosity. Photographs were said to have been taken by local police officers.

Event 24783 (B9CBF64D)

Date: 2/27/1965
Locations: Ballarat, Victoria, Australia; Mount Pleasant; Perth UFO Research Group; Flying Saucer Research Society of South Australia
Description: The first conference of Australian UFO organizations takes place in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. It is arranged by W. Howard Sloane of the Ballarat Astronomical Society to share information and remove some of the stigma of UFO research. The conference is held at the Ballarat Municipal Observatory in Mount Pleasant. Representatives of the Perth UFO Research Group, the Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society, the UFO Investigation Centre NSW, and the Flying Saucer Research Society of South Australia are in attendance. Witnesses include Rev. William Gill and Charles Brew. Former Air Marshal George Jones attends, and the RAAF is represented by B. G. Roberts, senior research scientist at the Operational Research Office, Department of Air. Roberts says that the RAAF has determined that 90% of reports are explainable, but that only those that might be a threat to national security are worth investigating and “there are no documents, files, or dossiers held by the Department which prove the existence of ‘flying saucers.’” The researchers quiz him on the 1953 Drury photographic case, but Roberts is unaware of that one. Jones insists on keeping an open mind about reports like those by Gill and Brew.

Event 24784 (E17FE1DE)

Date: 3/1965
Location: USA, Brooksville (California)
Description: (Translated from French) In the afternoon, around 2 pm, 60-year-old John R. Reeves was walking when suddenly 400m in front of him he saw a flying saucer 10m in diameter and about 2m high. It was resting on the ground, supported by a landing gear of 4 feet. The craft, blue-green tending to red, had two portholes in its upper part. As Reeves was 30m away from the craft, a creature came out and walked towards him. It stopped at 5m. This entity was 1.5m tall, stocky, wearing a green garment and a green helmet made of "glass". Its skin was dark. All parts of the body were covered, except the face. Its eyes were wider than humans, and the chin more pointed. The unusual visitor gave Reeves some sheets of paper covered with strange writing. These sheets were given to an investigation commission of the Mac Dill base. (Guy TARADE: "S.V. and extraterrestrial civilizations" - J'AI LU, p. 184, 185 - dated March 1) Reeves noticed the object at some distance from him and approached it by a detour, then saw the space man. Around the object was an arrangement of pallets that looked like a Venetian blind and which opened and closed just before the object took off. The device rested on 4 feet and a cylindrical element with disc-shaped steps allowed to enter the device from below. The creature was wearing a tight, gray-silver suit, which seemed stiff. He wore a helmet very similar to an overturned glass cup resting on the shoulders. The head inside was covered with a dark material that hid the hair region. The ears, mouth and nose appeared normal, but the eyes were large and widely separated, with "a flat area" between them. The hands were covered with mittens that seemed very flexible and of the same color as the suit. Reeves did not notice any shoes. Reeves said that the creature coming out of the bushes and approaching the craft noticed him and came towards him. At first it just looked at him. Then he pulled out a small black box from his left side which emitted a flash, after which Reeves turned around. He lost his hat, bent down to pick it up, pivoted and the box emitted another flash. He did not see any flash. Reeves would have found two pieces of very thin paper bearing marks. (1965, 3 (or 4) March)

Description: 1:55 p.m. John F. Reeves, 65, retired, while walking in the woods east of Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida, sees a bluish-green and reddish-purple object 20–30 feet in diameter, 6 feet thick, saucer-shaped, and with an outer rim and a stairway, two 2-foot windows on top, landed on the ground on four 4-foot legs about 2,000 feet away. He approaches to 100 feet. After watching the object for 10 minutes, he sees a robot-like being about 200– 300 feet away, about 5 feet tall, wearing a gray-silver uniform, glass dome headgear, wide-spaced eyes, and pointed chin. It walks to 15 feet away from Reeves, stares at him for 1.5 minutes, points a box or 6–7-inch black object at Reeves that emits a flash 3 times, then walks back to the landed vehicle and climbs in. The object has Venetian blind–like blades on the rim that open and close; the rim starts rotating counterclockwise, the landing gear retract, then it takes off with a whooshing-rumbling sound and disappears vertically in less than 10 seconds, dropping two sheets of paper with indecipherable writing, and leaving indentations and footprints in the ground. The case is investigated by MacDill AFB in Tampa. Richard Hall supervises the investigation for NICAP and concludes it is a hoax. (NICAP, “Landed Object and Entity Case / Hoax”; “The Florida ‘Landing’ Incident,” APRO Bulletin, March/April 1965, pp. 1, 3; Joan Whritenour, “UFO Lands?” Interplanetary Intelligence Report 1, no. 1 (May 1965): 4; “Project Blue Book,” Interplanetary Intelligence Report 1, no. 2 (July 1965): 8; Clark III 209–218; Jerome Clark, “Passport to Moniheya,” IUR 20, no. 3 (May/June 1995): 10–19; Sparks, p. 304) March 5 — Two Air Force radar technicians are repairing the height-finder antenna at Benton Air Force Station [now Ground Equipment Facility QRC] in Ricketts Glen State Park near Red Rock, Pennsylvania, when they see a small, saucer-shaped object land nearby. As they approach it, a beam of light comes out and strikes both of them. That is the last thing they remember, and they fail to report to the command post. Their equipment is left behind at the antenna, but air police cannot locate the men. Pennsylvania State Police assist in a search of the area. About 16 hours later, a state trooper locates the two men walking along State Route 487 south of Lopez, about 10 miles away. They seem dazed, so they are taken to a hospital in Williamsport, where they are found to be dehydrated and confused. No alcohol or drugs are found. They are then taken to an Air Force hospital at Stewart AFB [now Stewart Air National Guard Base] in Orange County, New York. Trace amounts of alpha radiation are found on their clothing and strange marks are on their necks. AFOSI special agents interview them, but the men cannot remember anything. After 2 weeks in the hospital, they are released back to their unit.

Event 24788 (2BA711F8)

Date: 3/2/1965
Description: At 1:55 p.m. John F. Reeves, a retired 65 year old, was hunting for snakes in the woods in Brooksville, Florida when he observed a reddish-purple saucer-shaped object on the ground. It was 30 feet in diameter and 6-7 feet thick, and stood on four legs, with a clear dome on top and a row of vanes like an outer rim around the circumference. It also had a set of stairs. He crept to within 100 feet, and after watching it for 10 minutes he saw a robot-like being, about five feet tall, wearing a silver one-piece uniform with a transparent "fishbowl" helmet. His hands were gloved and he wore metallic looking boots. His eyes were set far apart and he had a pointed chin. The being walked walked to the craft, then returned with a box that emitted two bright flashes when pointed at the witness; Reeves took it to be somekind of camera. The humanoid then re-entered the craft by walking up a small retractable stairway, and the object rose vertically with a whistling noise. Reeves found at the site many dumbbell-shaped footprints, and four roughly equidistant 6 inch holes, left by the landing gear. There were also two folded sheets of thin tissue like paper that bore messages written in an unknown alphabet. Reeves subsequently had further sightings and contacts.

A beam of light came out of the object and struck both technicians, and that was the last they could remember of the incident. They failed to report to their command post, and a search by both military and civilian police ensued. Sixteen hours later a state trooper found the two men walking on Route 487 in a dazed state. They were taken to a local hospital and found to be dehydrated. Later, trace amounts of alpha radiation were found on their clothing, and unexplained marks were discovered on their necks. One of the men had a brief recollection of encountering strange short creatures, who poked instruments into his eyes, ears, and mouth.

Date: 3/15/1965
Time: 0100
Location: Fort Myers, Florida
Description: In the Everglades, 30 km east of Big Cypress, James Flynn, 45, who was hunting, saw a huge, lighted object 1 m above the swamp surface. He watched it for 40 min, observing that it was conical, twice as wide as it was high, and seemed built from metal sections over one square m each. It showed four rows of square windows, 70 cm wide. Estimated diameter: 25 m. A yellow light shone through the windows, and the object made a sound of a transformer and wind. Flynn got within 2 m of it and made a gesture. A beam of light from the underside of the object struck him between the eyes and he lost consciousness for 24 hours. He had lost vision in the right eye, saw poorly with the left, went to a doctor in Fort Myers, and spent five days in the hospital.

Event 24817 (33E07B6E)

Date: 3/15/1965
Locations: Everglades; Immokalee, Florida; East Fort Myers
Description: Around 1:00 a.m. James W. Flynn is deep in the Everglades in his swamp buggy, somewhere east of Immokalee, Florida, with his four hunting dogs. He sees a hovering object like an upside-down cone about 200 feet above some cypress trees slightly over a mile away. It moves back and forth from its original position. Through binoculars it looks 25 feet high and 50 feet in diameter, with square windows emitting a yellowish glow. Around its base an orange-red glow extends downwards and illuminates the ground some 75 feet around the rim. Some 40 minutes into the sighting, Flynn decides to approach it in his buggy. A high-pitched ringing sound bothers one of his dogs. He stops 600 feet away and walks, waving his arms, toward the UFO, which is hovering 4 feet off the ground. A blast of wind from the object nearly knocks him off his feet. He continues, and at 75 feet from the UFO he waves his arms again. The object beams a light like a “welder’s torch” that hits his forehead. He blacks out twice. When he wakes up he is temporarily blinded. In the morning he finds a symmetrical circle of burned ground. The tops of trees are burned. Flynn makes his way to the home of Henry Osceola (or Henry Billy) later in the day and arrives at his own home in East Fort Myers on March 17 and spends 5 days in the hospital with damage to his right eye, bruises, burns, deep muscle tissue damage, and loss of hearing. His eye damage is permanent. The landing marks and burned trees are verified by the Lee County sheriff’s office.

Description: Mr. James Flynn, a 45-year-old man, was out in a boat with his hunting dogs in the Big Cypress Swamp in Florida when he encountered a metallic cone-shaped UFO at around one o'clock in the morning. The UFO had three rows of square windows and a yellow light. It made a generator-like sound, then emitted a jet-like sound followed by a blast of air. His dogs howled. Then a beam of light shot out from underneath the object, striking the witness in the forehead. He fell unconscious, and awoke with blindness in his right eye. Damaged foliage was found at the site, and Mr. Flynn was admitted to hospital for a five day stay.

Description: 7:06 p.m. Capt. Yoshiharu Inaba is flying a TOA Airlines Convair 240 from Osaka to Hiroshima, Japan, at an altitude of 6,500 feet. Just after the aircraft passes Himeji, Hyogo, an elliptical luminous object appears and follows the plane. Inaba makes a 60° turn to avoid a collision, but the object makes a similar maneuver then follows along the plane’s left wing for about 56 miles. Emitting a greenish light, the object affects the automatic direction finder and the radio. As copilot Tetsu Majima radios the Matsuyama control tower, he hears frantic calls from Joji Negishi, the pilot of a Tokyo Airlines Piper Apache, who says he is being chased by a luminous object over Matsuyama. The object shoots away and disappears.

Description: (Translated from French) A humanoid of a little more than one meter was understood with difficulty by Felipe Martinez. The word "sil" seemed to designate his UFO (Henry DURRANT: "First Investigations on ET Humanoids" - Laffont 1977 - p. 187) In April 1965, while hunting, he saw at a distance of 300 m a large egg-shaped craft hovering a few meters from the ground. The UFO was surrounded by something like a "ring spinning quickly" and seemed completely silent. He had rushed enthusiastically shouting "Amigo!" and had been suddenly struck by paralysis. A door of the craft opened and a small man descended a ladder about 30 cm wide. The little man was about one meter tall, wore a helmet and two cables connected the helmet to the saucer. The rest of his costume resembled a diving suit. They conversed, the small entity speaking slowly and with difficulty. He promised to return on May 3. [followed up on July 21, 1965] (April 1965)

Date: 4/3/1965
Description: Two traveling salesmen were driving toward Fortaleza, Ceara State, Brazil at 11:20 p.m. when they saw something in the sky that looked like a bright red infrared lamp. It shined a beam of light down on their car. The object then descended just above the car, and the car then began to vibrate and its lights went out. They then saw another ray of light come down from the UFO onto their vehicle, whereupon the driver lost driving control and the vehicle skidded sideways and came to a stop. The red globe-shaped object then landed in front of the car, and two humanoids that resembled robots came out from the UFO and began to approach. Both men got out; one had a rifle that he fired at the entities. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion and the two men were blinded and could hear nothing. Fifteen minutes later they could see again, but the object and the two entities had already gone.

Event 24882 (52D71DA4)

Date: 4/24/1965
Location: GREAT BRITAIN, Dartmoor - Scoriton (South Devon)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 5:30 PM E.A. Bryant was out for a walk when he suddenly found himself face to face with an aerial object that was moving in a pendulum motion before stopping and hovering about a meter off the ground, a few meters in front of him. The object had literally come out of nowhere. (...) While he was looking, an opening appeared in the side of the saucer and three shapes emerged. They were dressed in "diving gear". One of the shapes - they had the appearance of a human - gestured to the witness, who approached. The beings removed their helmets and he saw that two had very high foreheads, blue eyes and blonde hair. The third, smaller one looked to be about 15 years old, had normal features, dark hair and brown eyes. A conversation took place in acceptable English. The dark-haired man said his name was "Yamski" and added that it was a shame that "Des" or "Les" wasn't there to see the visitors, as he would have understood! They also said they were from Venus and that they would return in a month bringing with them "proof of Mantell" or something like that.

Event 24883 (57A8CE10)

Date: 4/24/1965
Locations: Scoriton Down; Scoriton (or Scorriton); Devon, England
Description: 5:30 p.m. Ernest Arthur Bryant is walking toward Scoriton Down near Scoriton (or Scorriton), Devon, England, when he sees a saucer-like object approach him. It stops nearby and a door opens. Three beings appear and beckon to him. He approaches the saucer. Two of the three beings appear to be nonhuman, but the third seems to be a youth in his teens. The youth speaks with an accent that Bryant thinks might be Russian and calls himself Yamski. He says that he is from Venus, and then remarks that he wished “Des” was there, as he would understand what is happening. At the close of their conversation, he says that in a month he will return and bring proof of “Mantell.” Ufologists who eventually hear the story immediately associate Yamski with George Adamski, the controversial contactee who died on April 23. Adamski was of Polish background and had a noticeable accent. If this were Adamski, he has lost any signs of aging. Adamski’s friend Desmond Leslie was a coauthor of his first book. Captain Thomas F. Mantell, piloting an F-51, had been killed in 1948 when he began chasing what he thought was a UFO. According to Bryant, the saucer returns June 7 and leaves some items, including several pieces of metal, allegedly from an F-51. He reports the story to the British UFO Research Association, which launches an investigation. The various items Bryant turns over to the two investigators (a turbine fitting, metal parts, a broken bulb and fitting, a phial containing silver sand, and a piece of paper on which the words “Adelphos Adelpho” are written) prove to be mundane and irrelevant to the F-51, according to aeronautical engineer Leonard G. Cramp. In spite of problems with the story, one of the investigators, Eileen Buckle, rushes into print with a book, The Scoriton Mystery. Shortly afterward, Bryant unexpectedly takes ill and dies from a brain tumor on June 24, 1967. The other investigator, Norman Oliver, visits his widow. She says that she is familiar with the story in the book, as her husband had presented it to her first as the script for a science fiction novel. It is only after the investigation is well along that she realizes her husband was trying to sell the story as a real event. She indicates that the supposed items related to Mantell were purchased at a naval surplus store. Alice Wells, head of the Adamski Foundation, dismisses the Scoriton story from the beginning, as does Desmond Leslie. Between their rejection and Oliver’s uncovering of the hoax, few remain to support Bryant except Buckle.

Description: (Translated from French) Three customers of the Retreat Hotel saw a strange, brightly lit machine approach the hotel. These customers were J.W. Tilse, an old pilot, John Burgess, an Australian veteran of World War II, and Eric Jurdin, an engineer. Tilse recounts: This craft was about 300 m from the hotel veranda and was moving just above the trees. Under a circular platform there was a row of lights, about twenty or thirty. It was solid, seemed to be made of metal, and must have been 9 to 10 m in diameter. (...) For about thirty minutes it remained motionless. Then it began to rise and in the light of the lamps we could see that it had three legs at its base. Each one had a lamp. (Frank EDWARDS: "Les S.V. affaire sérieuse" - trad. Laffont 1967 - p. 88, 89) Three men saw a circular UFO about 10 m in diameter, which emitted a buzzing sound. This UFO was carrying another round disc. The main object had a tripod landing gear and lights. The police found landing traces and damaged trees. It was May 23, 1965. (1965, May 24 (23?))

Location: Epsom, Queensland
Description: 12:05 a.m. John Burgess, James Tilse, and Eric Judin are playing cards at the Epsom Retreat Hotel near Epsom, Queensland, when their attention is drawn to something on or near the ground. It appears to be a disc- shaped object with banks of lights underneath it to their southeast. Tilse estimates its diameter to be 30 feet, Judin as 20 feet, and Burgess as 6 feet. In the moonlight, its color seems to be charcoal. At times, it seems to approach them, then recede. Finally, it rapidly rises to about 300 feet, then it accelerates away to the northeast. Burgess and Judin heard a buzzing sound. Total duration is 40 minutes. Two days later, a circular depression is found nearby close to a telephone line. Tilse says that “tops of trees appear to be burned.”

Description: At 12:05 a.m. a metallic domed saucer, jet black on top, with three triangular legs and a bank of floodlights around the main body was seen hovering and on the ground in Eton Ridge, Queensland, Australia by three men named Tilse, Burgess, and Juden. The object was 20-30 feet in diameter, 15 feet in height, and was at a minimum distance of 300 meters away. It made a buzzing or hissing sound, and made several maneuvers before it sped away. A circle 20 feet in diameter, consisting of a 3 foot 2 inch wide ring of flattened grass, was found at the landing site the next morning.

Description: 3:25 a.m. An Ansett-ANA DC-6b airliner piloted by Capt. John Barker is flying over Bougainville Reef off the coast of Queensland, Australia, when it is paced for 10–15 minutes by an oblate UFO with exhaust gases coming from it. The copilot and a stewardess also see the object. Barker takes photos of the UFO, but when he lands in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, he is not allowed to have the film processed until he returns to Australia. When he eventually arrives in Brisbane, he is flown directly to Canberra where both the film and the flight recorder are confiscated. The Directorate of Air Force Intelligence in Canberra later denies that any such incident took place. However, an official statement by Barker to the RAAF surfaces, in which he says: “I had always scoffed at these reports, but I saw it. We all saw it. It was under intelligent control, and it was certainly no known aircraft.”

Event 24947 (626E4A94)

Date: 5/30/1965
Description: While sunbathing on the roof of her lake cottage on Lake Mason, Wisconsin at around 2 p.m., Ms. Gorzelle, age 45, witnessed a shiny disc-shaped object approach in a straight line from over the lake. She described it as metallic, about 40 feet wide, and with a row of windows and a dome on top. The domed disc hovered over her cottage property less than 200 feet away, then landed on tripod landing gear that emerged from the underside of the craft. From her roof she was looking down on the landed object. In one of the windows she was able to see an occupant. When the occupant saw her on the roof, he beckoned to another figure that appeared at a second window. Both of them seemed to be rather short--under four feet tall--with large, baldheads, slits for mouths and small noses. They stared at her for what seemed to be a long time. The next thing she recalled was watching the object depart rapidly in the direction of the setting sun. There was a time lapse of at least four hours in her memory. Under self hypnosis, the witness was able to recall walking up to the UFO and being led up a stairway into the vehicle by the two occupants. One of them held a small box that he opened, and inside the box was a dark-colored crystal that gave off a vapor or smoke. He held it in front of her face and the witness jumped back, but when he again passed it close to her face she discovered that the fumes were odorless. The next thing she remembers was being back on her roof watching the object depart. She had headaches following the incident. She would have another UFO encounter three months later.

White was sleeping and Mc Divitt saw a bright, oval-shaped object, followed by a luminous trail, approaching GEMINI IV. He had time to take a photograph of the phenomenon. A few minutes later, as they flew over the Caribbean, the two men saw two similar objects.

The camera was loaded with an Eastman color l6mm film, 6 images per second. McDivitt has publicly denied seeing a UFO and said that the published photo does not show the object he saw. This photo only shows the reflection on the copilot's window. McDivitt is sure he saw a satellite launched from the earth, but the public must ignore it for security reasons. McDivitt, unlike other astronauts, has always willingly answered journalists' questions about this incident. (June 4, 1965 (July?))

Event 24969 (E57BB760)

Date: 6/6/1965
Description: Private aircraft pilot Mr. C. Adams, and a television cameraman Mr. Les Hendy, reported seeing four or five “mysterious objects” floating in the sea 3 miles east of Fraser Island, 150 miles north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia at about 11.30 a.m. Mr. Adams first noticed two of the objects from a distance of about 8 miles while flying over Fraser Island. The weather was clear and the objects appeared to resemble two big dark-coloured logs. They were narrow and up to 100 feet long. As he steered toward them two or three similar but smaller objects appeared near the other two. They did not appear to move, but seemed to “sort of submerge" when the plane was about one mile away from them. From the air they appeared to be lying just below the surface and when “submerging” from sight seemed to do so without disturbing the surface. Mr. Adams was certain that the objects were too big to be fish or sharks, and the wrong shape to be whales. Mr. Hendy regretted that they were too far away from him to film them. Several experts got their heads together and decided that the objects sighted were migrating whales. However, their explanation was soon squashed when part-owner of the Seabrae Hotel--Mr. G. Sampson--and Mrs. V. Grady reported that they had sighted a similar object on the very same day, half-a-mile out between Redcliffe Pier and Redcliffe Point. They watched it for 10 minutes. It was long and black and there appeared to be a black balloon suspended over it. A Fisheries Dept. spokesman commented that it was unlikely to be a whale, because they very seldom come into Morton Bay.

Event 25002 (976E7C6A)

Date: 6/25/1965
Locations: Area 25; Nevada Test Site
Description: The Phoebus 1A nuclear rocket engine is tested at Area 25 of the Nevada Test Site as part of Project Rover. It runs at full power for 10.5 minutes. Unfortunately, the intense radiation environment causes one of the capacitance gauges to produce erroneous readings. When confronted by one gauge that says the hydrogen propellant tank is nearly empty, and another that says it is a quarter full, and unsure which is correct, the technicians in the control room choose to believe the one that says it is a quarter full. But the tank is indeed nearly empty, and the propellant runs dry. Without liquid hydrogen to cool it, the engine, operating at 2,000° C., quickly overheats and explodes. About a fifth of the fuel is ejected and most of the rest melts. The whole decontamination effort takes 400 people two months to complete, and costs $50,000.

Description: Frank Stavano and 24 other witnesses hear a loud, inexplicable explosion at his father Joseph’s farm near Carrollton, Ohio. Two days later, Joseph Stavano is cutting hay when he discovers a strange circular formation from which the wheat is completely missing in the center for a diameter of 26 feet; at the edges the stubble is bent or broken outward at an angle of 20–30° from the horizontal. No other path leads into the circle but his own. Soil samples show no evidence of explosives or other foreign matter.

Event 25009 (48941231)

Date: 6/30/1965
Description: (Translated from French) John Stavano discovers, after hearing explosions the day before, a curious formation on the ground. The wheat ears seem to have been pulled out of the ground, uprooted. The case will be examined by A. Candusso and Larray Moyers, delegates of the Flying Saucer Investigating Committee, accompanied by Garry Davis. They find the strange circular configuration in Stavano's farm located on a ridge. At the center of the circle is a depression about 28 inches in diameter. It is explored with a probe but only soft soil is found to a depth of 9 inches. A good part of the wheat has been moved, roots included, and clods of earth a few inches long have been scattered. The ears lie on the ground, in the form of a wheel spoke. Analysis of soil and wheat samples finds no evidence that could be caused by an explosion. (June 30)

Location: NORWAY, Hoysundet
Description: (Translated from French) At around 2:30 pm a woman, sitting by the window reading, suddenly saw a yellow-ochre light 30 m away from her and 15 m above the hill (note from vog: .. how close that hill was...) She saw an object approaching that looked like a small plane without a rudder, with a small boy with a big head as the pilot, and extraordinary large dark eyes. He was sitting under a dome and wearing a helmet. He stopped 3 m away from the window, staying there for only 3 seconds: he was intensely observing her. During this short time the witness felt paralyzed, but as soon as the object left the feeling went away. She estimated the length of the object to be maximum 4 m, and heard a kind of whistling the whole time. After this observation she felt numb and everything sparkled in front of her eyes.

Location: Lake Forest, Illinois
Description: 11:30 p.m.–midnight. Talking on the phone in her second-floor bedroom in Lake Forest, Illinois, Pat Harvey sees a flash and hears a commotion or “rustle” outside. When she finishes the conversation, she looks out the window toward her neighbor’s lawn and sees a transparent bubble of light about 100 feet away. Inside the globe are several individuals who look like normal human beings, though slightly shorter (5 feet tall) and with skin that looks tanned. They are lying down in a somewhat haphazard arrangement. There are no visible instruments or seats. The object bobs up and down slightly, and the beings’ arms are moving in a way that reminds Harvey of “rowing motions.”

Event 25020 (A342CF95)

Date: 7/1/1965
Location: FRANCE, Valensole (Basses-Alpes)
Description: (Translated from French) Maurice Masse was smoking a cigarette early in the morning before going to work in his fields when he heard a whistling. He then saw an egg-shaped craft in his lavender field and approached it to within 6 m. In front of the craft, two figures seemed to be examining the lavender. They measured about 1.20 m and were dressed in a one-piece gray-green suit. Their head was three times bigger than a human head, had normal eyes, but only an opening where the mouth should be. They were not wearing helmets. Their hands were small and well proportioned. One of them took out a tube from a sheath on his belt and pointed it at Masse. He was thus completely immobilized. For 60 seconds the creatures circled around him and a kind of gurgling came from their throat, although their mouth did not move. Then the beings returned to the craft, the door slid shut, and Masse saw them in the dome. The craft lifted off the ground from its central pivot, rose slowly, its six thin legs began to spin faster and faster, and it flew off obliquely. After 50 m it suddenly disappeared in one go. After 20 minutes Masse gradually regained his mobility to return home.

Location: Valensole, France
Description: Farmer Maurice Masse, 41, heard a strange noise and saw an egg-shaped object 30 m away in a lavender field. The craft was set on a central pivot with six legs, was about 5 m long, and had a door showing two seats back to back. Near it were two dwarfs the size of 8-year-old children, with heads, normal human eyes, fine hands with five fingers, and no hair. They seemed surprised when the witness came near, and stopped their examination of a plant to aim a small device at him, causing inhibition of movement. They spoke among themselves in shrill sounds similar to a gargle. The craft took off and "vanished." Traces.

Event 25029 (43F0578E)

Date: 7/1/1965
Location: Valensole, Alps-de-Haute-Provence, France
Description: 5:45 a.m. Maurice Masse is farming just north of Valensole, Alps-de-Haute-Provence, France, when he is startled by a whistling sound and sees an elliptical object resting on four legs some 200 feet away from him in his lavender field. Squatting on the ground near the object are two figures about the size of 8-year-old boys, apparently looking at a lavender plant. Masse approaches them to about 20 feet and the figures stand up. They are dressed in gray-green overalls and have smooth, pumpkin-like heads. Their eyes are large and slanted, their mouths have no lips and look like little holes. He hears some grunting sounds, and Masse hints that there is a telepathic communication. One of the figures points a pencil-like object at Masse and he is paralyzed. They enter the UFO through a door and the object shoots off at enormous speed with a whistling sound. It takes Masse another 20 minutes to regain control. Tracks left by the landing gear are found later by Masse and confirmed by gendarmes.

Description: One of the most famous landing and humanoid reports occurred on this day in Valensole, Alpes-Haut-Provence department, France. At around five o'clock in the morning farmer Maurice Masse, age 41, heard a strange noise and saw an egg-shaped object 30 meters away in a field of lavender. The craft was set on a central pivot with six legs, was about five meters long, and had a door showing two seats back to back. Nearby it were two dwarfs the size of eight-year-old children, with bald heads, normal human eyes, and fine hands with five fingers. They seemed surprised when the witness approached them, and stopped their examination of a plant to aim a small device at him, causing him to become temporarily paralyzed and unable to move. They spoke among themselves in shrill sounds similar to a gargle. The craft took off and "vanished" into the air. Ground traces were found in the field.

The object changes colors (red, yellow, green, orange, blue, white) as it zigzags from a position about 30° above the horizon in the north-northwest. The object hovers, accelerates, reverses direction, and changes its luminosity. At times it goes behind some clouds, but it is also seen in front of some cirrus clouds. Finally, it disappears to the northwest, decreasing in size and gaining altitude. Cpl. Uladislao Duran Martinez takes 10 color photos through theodolite and field glasses.

Event 25069 (9886FB90)

Date: 7/7/1965
Description: (Translated from French) A report from an Argentine detachment based in Antarctica relayed by an official statement from the Argentine Ministry of the Navy describes the gigantic UFO observed for several hours: It had the appearance of a solid material, red and green, iridescent from time to time with yellow, blue, white, and orange. The object moved silently eastward following a winding trajectory, but always without noise and at variable speeds. It often changed direction, heading sometimes westward, sometimes northward. In the afternoon of the same day, the same object was spotted by the South Orkney Islands base. It was moving northwest, at an angle of 30° relative to the horizon. It was at an approximate distance of 10 to 15 km. The Chilean Antarctic base also spotted the same object in the afternoon of the same day. On July 9th (?), an extremely important message arrived from the South Orkney Islands base. As a strange object flew over the base, 2 variometers, which were functioning perfectly before the flight, recorded disturbances of the magnetic field on their tapes. (July 7th)

Event 25129 (E95F51F4)

Date: 7/19/1965
Location: Vaucluse, New South Wales
Description: 5:30 p.m. Denis Crowe, an aircraft artist, is strolling along a beach at Vaucluse, New South Wales, when he encounters a glowing disc resting on legs. It is about 20 feet in diameter and 9 feet high. The top and bottom are silver gray and the rim in between is glowing greenish-blue. A hollow area at the very top seems to be a glass dome. There are no windows or antennae. Dogs in the neighborhood all bark at it. When Crowe is 50–60 feet from the object, it takes off with a sound like air forced from a balloon. He watches it for about 10 seconds until it disappears into the clouds. After the object takes off, the dogs are strangely silent.

Event 25130 (BE73274E)

Date: 7/19/1965
Description: There were several sightings for this date. In Samarai, Papua New Guinea a red glowing cylinder moved across the sky from left to right. It flew with an oscillating motion, and made a sound like a diesel engine. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon in Antofagasta, Chile a cone-shaped object flew over the city at high speed, with the pointed end toward the rear, making loud explosive noises. At 5:30 p.m. in Vaucluse Beach, New South Wales, Australia a seven meter domed disc was seen resting on a sandy beach. When Mr. Crowe, the witness, approached to within 16 meters (53 feet) it rose with a rushing air noise like air being released from a balloon. There were ground marks left in the sand, and a check of radioactivity showed it was higher than the normal background level.

Event 25133 (AEC0916D)

Date: 7/20/1965
Location: ARGENTINA, Quilmes (prov. of Buenos Aires)
Description: (Translated from French) At 8 o'clock in the morning Ramon Eduardo Pereyra was driving his truck beyond Monte de los Curas when he saw an object like a parachute falling silently into the trees on a hill. He went to see what it was and he found, in a clearing, a chrome-colored egg-shaped device supported by metal feet. Its upper part was transparent and its lower part extremely smooth, without joints or connections. Near the machine stood a young blond man who seemed to be studying a piece of paper. He was wearing "a plastic diving suit" and small boots and had a kind of towel attached to his right leg. The witness managed to get to the device without being observed and took a look through a panel. Inside he saw a second man sitting at a control panel. It was then that the man from outside noticed him and headed towards him with an expression of anger. "What's going on?" asked Pereyra, but without answering the other one climbed straight into the device which immediately rose to a height of about 30 meters, then moved away at a regular speed.

At 11 pm on July 21, Martinez met the same little man again and explained to him the great difficulty he had had in finding someone who believed his story. The latter replied that they would soon show themselves all over the Earth. He added that Martinez should accept a new appointment with them, exactly on December 3, 1965. When they returned they would take Martinez and his family away and then burn the whole Earth as punishment for his refusal to admit their existence. (...)

Description: In Macias, Entre Rios province, Argentina at eleven o'clock at night Felipe Martinez reportedly met with humanoid UFOnauts for the third time since they had first contacted him. He was told that the "space people" would soon show themselves to people everywhere on earth. They also told him that on December 3 that year they would return to take Martinez and his family, and then they would then burn up the entire earth as punishment for our disbelief in their existence. Obviously, none of these prophesized events subsequently occurred. Four of the crew he met with were little men less than three feet tall, while the fifth man was over six feet tall and blond. This last crew member wore metallic plates on his arms, which had numerous small lights.

Event 25173 (FB6080AE)

Date: 7/26/1965
Location: BRAZIL, Carazinho
Description: (Translated from French) ... there were five dwarves, dressed in black uniforms and small boots, who appeared. We were told that two of them had in their hands an amazingly bright object, like a fairy wand. (Jacques VALLEE: "Chronicles of E.T. Appearances" - DENOEL 1972 - coll. J'AI LU - p. 105) In the evening Adilon Batista Azevedo, 15 years old, was strolling behind a group of young people going to the cinema. As he crossed an open field on the outskirts of the city, he heard a strange buzzing and saw two cones of white light in the sky, then two almost round devices, one larger than the other, land not far from him. He hid behind the wall of a well and saw three entities emerge from one machine and two from the other. The two teams joined and he could hear their words that did not resemble anything he had ever heard. The beings measured 1 m 50, wore helmets and one-piece scuba suits, dark in color and small boots. One of them carried in his right hand a very bright object resembling a wand. They conversed in their whistling language for about five minutes, then each team circled its machine three times, leaning down to examine the hull. The inspection finished, they got back into their machines which flew away at such a fantastic speed that in one or two seconds they were only a tiny point among the stars. Adilon ran to join his friends at the cinema but soon felt such a violent headache that he had to go to a pharmacist to buy tablets. Without any result, his headache lasted for five days. (...)

Date: 7/26/1965
Description: (Translated from French) At the Ogre Observatory (Latvia), astronomers Robert and Esmeralda Vitolniek and Yan Melderis saw a green, triangular UFO resembling a star. Examining the object more closely through the observatory's telescope, they realized that the UFO was composed of 3 green balls in a triangular formation around a larger central light. The central sphere was estimated to be 90 m in diameter and its altitude was estimated to be 100 (200?) km, but the observers were unable to provide an explanation for what they saw. The observation lasted about 30 minutes.

When they pass a vacant lot on Rua David Canaberra between the Rua 15 de Novembro and the Rua Alexandra de Motta, they see a light beam coming from a cloud illuminating an area about 33 feet in diameter and hear a buzzing noise. The other boys run, but Adilon remains and sees an oval- shaped object landing in the vacant lot and hovering about 3 feet off the ground. Another smaller object descends and hovers next to the first. Two beings about 5 feet tall emerge from the larger object and walk around it. They are wearing dark clothing and light helmets. After 5 minutes, 3 others emerge from the smaller object and converse with the others. The beings reenter the objects, which take off several minute apart. Adilon gets a headache that remains with him for 5 days. Possible helicopters?

He grabs his Kodak Brownie Flash Camera Starluxe 9 x 9 format and takes two shots in the span of 2 minutes that will make the cover of a major Parisian newspaper. No explanation will be given. However, the shape of the object resembles that of a Lockheed SR-71A "Blackbird" aircraft, flying since December 22nd, 1964. But what would such a USAF strategic reconnaissance aircraft be doing at low altitude over an allied country at 5:30 PM? (Tuesday, July 28th, 5:30 PM)

Description: 9:40 p.m. A USAF Reserve major and his wife observe a manta ray–shaped object fly almost directly overhead at Carswell AFB [now Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base], Fort Worth, Texas, below 1,000 feet altitude. The object moves at a constant speed on the same course. The object is approximately 40 feet long and has two brilliant white lights pulsating off and on once every second. It is completely silent and flies directly through the Carswell control zone at low altitude. The sighting is verified by three other persons on duty. The report states: “This sighting was a positive observation, under ideal circumstances, of a definite object of an unconventional nature—possibly of foreign origin, which could be a threat to national security.”

Event 25250 (DE753F2D)

Date: 8/1/1965
Locations: Francis E. Warren Air Force Base; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Sioux Army Depot; Sydney, Nebraska; Pine Bluff; Gurley; Quebec LCF; Chugwater
Description: 1:30–4:30 a.m. Various personnel from Francis E. Warren Air Force Base west of Cheyenne, Wyoming, report more than 70 UFOs near the base’s ICBM Minuteman I launch control facilities (LCFs) and launch facilities (LFs, missile silos). A Lieut. Anspaugh logs the reports and incoming telephone calls for three hours. The reports begin with a “large circular object emitting several colors but no sound” seen by civilians over Cheyenne itself at 1:30 a.m. This results in an alert at the base for all personnel to be on the watch for anything suspicious. Five objects are spotted over the Sioux Army Depot [now closed] in Sydney, Nebraska, at 1:45 a.m. Two UFOs are seen over the Echo LCF southeast of Pine Bluff at 1:48 a.m. Nine more objects are sighted at 2:50 a.m. The Echo LCF reports six UFOs stacked vertically. A Strategic Air Command team at the H-2 LF northeast of Gurley reports a white UFO directly overhead at 3:00 a.m. The Sioux Army Depot reports five objects going east at 3:35 a.m. Reports of white, round- or oval-shaped objects in various formations, continue solidly at the H- 2 LF for the next 40 minutes. At 4:05 a.m., the Warren base commander calls to say that the Quebec LCF southwest of Chugwater has nine UFOs in sight: four to the NW, three to the NE, and two over Cheyenne. Sightings continue to be reported the next two nights at missile sites assigned to Warren AFB, for a total of 148 objects seen by 143 combat defense force airmen, missile maintenance men, and NCOs. The sheer scope and blatant ostentation of the UFOs’ reported aerial displays over a sensitive atomic missile base is remarkable.

Event 25252 (28B9BE9D)

Date: 8/1/1965
Locations: Tinker AFB, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Norman, Oklahoma; Oklahoma City
Description: 9:08 p.m. Four objects, bluish-white with a red haze, are seen from the control tower at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. T/Sgt John R. Lang, 34, is the watch supervisor. All the objects appear at approximately 22,000 feet altitude. One is moving south, and another is moving north at speeds of 150–200 mph. Two of the objects appear stationary. The 746th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron reports radar contact with one object at 10,000 feet in the vicinity of Norman, Oklahoma, 20 miles south of Tinker AFB. The duration is 90 minutes. An Air Force weather observer, who wishes to remain anonymous, looks at a UFO through his 40x-telescope at Oklahoma City.

Event 25256 (3261996E)

Date: 8/2/1965
Location: USA, Tulsa (Oklahoma)
Description: (Translated from French) Tens of thousands of Americans, from South Dakota to the Mexican border and beyond, saw bright colored lights moving in formations in the sky. Some formations were diamond-shaped and turned at right angles. Others were isolated and hovered from time to time. Some very high in the sky would dive down to a lower altitude. Others were low and would climb up in a spiral. From time to time one of these objects would stop. It was thus that around 1:30 am Alan Smith, 14 years old, from Tulsa, was able to take a remarkable color photograph of a stationary UFO in the sky, with an ordinary camera and a commercial color film. On the enlargements obtained, it was clearly visible that the UFO had the shape of a flattened disc at the back and was divided into three parts by two opaque bands. These three sections were, from left to right, with respect to the photographer, bluish green, yellow orange, white cream. (Frank EDWARDS: "Les S.V. affaire sérieuse" - trad. Laffont 1967 - p. 250, 251). IN REALITY: when the image is turned over, a wide-brimmed hat with a red fruit placed on it is discovered. The story is probably authentic, but the photo was tampered with by Alan Smith. (August 2, 1965)

Description: 1:30 a.m. Mr. A. L. Smith, accompanied by his 14-year-old son Alan and three other witnesses, watch an unusual, multicolored UFO over Tulsa, Oklahoma. The UFO is slowly moving toward the witnesses. Still several hundred yards away, it pauses briefly and hovers. At that precise moment, Alan snaps a photograph with his inexpensive camera, using ASA 64 film. Alan decides not to try for a second shot. He takes his camera inside the house and runs back outside just in time to see the object rapidly flying away into the night sky. The photo is a probable fake of a color wheel for an aluminum Christmas tree.

Description: 2:30 a.m. Unidentified blips show up on the Weather Bureau radar screen at the Wichita Municipal Airport [now Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport] in Kansas and continue intermittently until after 6:00 a.m. Most of the sightings are in the vicinity of Wellington, Kansas. The altitude ranges from 5,000–20,000 feet. Wichita meteorologist John Shockley tracks several UFOs on the Weather Bureau radar flying at altitudes of 6,000–9,000 feet. His assistant Ellis Pike notes that they look just like airliner blips. They brighten and dim on the screen, moving at 45 mph. At least four citizens see colored glows in the southern sky during the early morning hours. One says: “They were red and exploded in a shower of sparks and at other times fluttered like a leaf in the clear sky.”

Description: 3:00 a.m. KXWI-TV news photographer Robert Campbell hears on his radio a conversation between Oklahoma and Texas highway patrolmen that a UFO has been tracked on radar and is streaking towards the Texas border. Campbell takes his 4-by-5 Speed Graphic camera and drives into Sherman, Texas, where he locates Chief of Police Peter McCollum. Together they search for the object and soon see it hanging stationary one mile east of Bells on US Highway 82. The object has a “Mercury capsule” shape at one end, possibly rounded at the other end. Several distinct bands circle the cylinder, with disc-shaped embossments on the surface. He takes four camera exposures, two minutes each at three-minute intervals. The negatives are carefully examined by USAF scientific advisers and astronomical experts. No acceptable explanation can be found for the object recorded on the negatives.

Event 25301 (19EC6237)

Date: 8/3/1965
Locations: Los Angeles County; Santa Ana, California
Description: 12:37 p.m. Los Angeles County Highway Accident Investigator Rex Heflin takes four clear Polaroid photos of a hat-shaped UFO on a lonely stretch of road near Santa Ana, California. The object is silent, and a beam of white light is rotating beneath it. He radios his supervisor, but the radio goes dead. One of Heflin’s coworkers offers to send the photos to Life magazine; he does, but Life declines to use them. Soon, someone from NORAD shows up demanding the prints and Heflin turns them over. They are not seen again. The photos are most likely a prank hoax by Heflin using a hubcap, complicated by flawed photographic analyses and investigations.

Event 25304 (458AF56F)

Date: 8/3/1965
Description: There were at least 15 reports recorded for this day from Australia, China, Sweden, Switzerland, Hawaii, and the midwestern and western United States. Among the more interesting reports, a young man saw an object rise from the lake at Lake Hefner, Oklahoma. Also on this day a famous set of UFO photographs was taken by Ray Heflin in Santa Ana, California. At 12:38 p.m. he took four photographs of a metallic hat-shaped UFO, estimated to be about 30 feet in diameter, with a Polaroid camera from his Orange County pickup truck. The U.S. Air Force claimed the object was a hubcap thrown in the air, but most UFO researchers regard the photos as genuine.

Event 25305 (1EF1837A)

Date: 8/3/1965
Description: Two boys, Doug Knopka, age 9, and Tim Dietz, age 8, were vacationing at Doehler’s Beach in northeastern Pennsylvania with their families, and were walking along a wooded road at 10:30 a.m. when they saw a “dirty white” disc-shaped object. It had a transparent dome, was 15 feet in diameter, and was on or near the ground just 50 feet away from them. Next to the craft stood a small four and a half foot tall figure with yellow eyes, and inside the dome was another figure moving about. Frightened, the boys ran from the spot. As they ran they heard a “swishing” sound, and saw the round object rise over the treetops and disappear from sight as it flew out over the lake.

Event 25308 (F1B4B035)

Date: 8/4/1965
Description: (Translated from French) Nebraska trucker Don Tenopir is heading north to Abilene with a load of grain. An UFO descends from the sky above his truck and lands on the road in front of him. A car coming in the opposite direction swerves around the craft and stops with a screech of brakes. Tenopir slams on the brakes. His headlights go out, although his GMC Diesel semi-truck keeps rolling: the UFO moves and the truck's headlights come back on. Tenopir can now see the object: a disk (topped with a dome) about 4m in diameter, hovering a few meters off the ground. There are square windows on the top. Too scared to move from his cab, but the driver of the car gets out and approaches him. Before they can talk, the UFO shoots sparks from where it is and takes off with a loud noise. The two drivers flee. Tenopir reports the incident to the Abilene police, but neither the city, nor the state, nor the government nor the military authorities take any action. The case bears an interesting resemblance to the encounter that took place in Hampshire (England) in November 1967. (1:30)

In any case, the thing that had just landed twenty meters in front of me, right in the middle of the path, had, in appearance at least, the shape and proportions of one: about 60 centimeters long and about 25 centimeters high at its highest point. I ran towards the strange thing, but it deflated like a balloon. More precisely, the thing seemed to disappear into the ground. Moreover, that is probably what happened. I struck a match. I was certainly not dreaming. But I didn't find the slightest trace of my piglet..."

Event 25358 (572B24EA)

Date: 8/8/1965
Locations: Beaver, Pennsylvania; Beaver County Times; Colorado project
Description: 11:30 p.m. A luminous UFO is allegedly photographed in Beaver, Pennsylvania, by James Lucci, 17. According to estimations by witnesses, the diameter of the UFO is around 42 feet. Lucci is photographing the full moon with his brother John, 23. According to them, a shining object appears from behind a hill. James manages to take two shots before the flying object leaves. His friends encourage him to send the photos to the Beaver County Times, where they are analyzed and declared authentic. However, both the Colorado project and UFO researchers determine the photo is a hoax created by holding a plate up next to the moon with a fist (probably John’s) and blurring it with motion.

Three men in another nearby car also saw the object; a teenage boy reportedly ran toward it and the object disappeared with a bang.

Event 25368 (FA3BD677)

Date: 8/9/1965
Description: An anonymous music teacher, a "high level public employee", was driving on the outskirts of Lima, Peru around 10:00 p.m. when his car's engine started to miss, and then stop. At that moment, a beam of light enveloped the car from above, then levitated it from the road and carried it through the sky for an unknown distance, at such an altitude that the witness could see the coastline and a peninsula, La Punta, west of the city. He was paralyzed and unable to move during this process. The car was brought to the ground near the shore and he could hear waves breaking. Then, a voice spoke to him in perfect Spanish, and asked him to get out of the car. He did so and "could barely make out" little men with big ears. No UFO was seen, but there was a luminous screen nearby, on which was displayed, "We are using calming rays on you to remove your fear." He then asked several questions, in response to which a spokesperson told him that they came from a place more distant than Mars, that they had visited Earth on various occasions in the past, and that they did not appear in public because that would cause panic. Asked if they knew about music, he heard they had "something that might be considered as music, but that it had the power of raising the feelings to the highest exaltation." After that, his car was transported back through the air to the spot from which it had been picked up. He told his story to an uncle, an official in the Peruvian police, who informed reporters.

Location: Waverly, Iowa
Description: 3:30 p.m. David Gibson is sitting in the front yard of his house in Waverly, Iowa, with his father and sister. They hear a high-pitched whine and see an object descending to the south. The silvery UFO is about 15–20 feet in diameter and looks like two saucers put together. It lands on a tree-lined hill out of view and the whining sound fades away. Gibson walks about a half-mile to take a look and briefly sees a “being,” about 3–3.5 feet tall, watching him from behind a tree at the top of the hill. It quickly vanishes and he hears a rush of air. He reaches the spot but sees no footprints. About 40 feet south of the tree he finds a burned area about 15–20 feet in diameter and three rectangular impressions in the shape of a triangle.

Event 25392 (099413E3)

Date: 8/12/1965
Location: Springfield, Ohio
Description: 11:15 a.m. Maj. Jack D. Bond is sitting in a passenger seat of a T-29 aircraft on a heading of 300° and descending from 4,000 feet to 3,000 feet near Springfield, Ohio. He sees a UFO ascending and descending that is slightly higher than the T-29. It appears to be 5–7 miles away and moving in a general direction of 90°. The object’s speed is highly erratic during the 3 ascents and descents that the object makes. On its third descent the object appears to level off and accelerate at a speed of 690 mph or more. Project Blue Book evaluates this sighting as a solar mirage, even though the position and time of day rule that out.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 7:30 in the morning, two young girls (Ellen Ryan, 16 and Laura Ryan, 13 years old) got out of their car (note of vog??? - the American text also says it...) on a road and three men (1.85m and 1.90m tall) who were in a bean field (of Yas Narita) approached them. These beings had dome-shaped heads (with white dots where there are usually hair) and protruding eyes. The faces had no expression, the eyes were gray like stone and the lower part of the face seemed heavily tanned. They wore V-neck sleeveless jerseys of purple color, with white shirts underneath. The frightened young girls ran away for 15 meters and when they looked back, they had disappeared.

Event 25400 (18FBE507)

Location: Baden, Pennsylvania
Description: A 37-year-old civilian had just put his car in the garage when he saw an object about 100 m in diameter, shaped like a disk, which flew in front of the moon in a northerly direction at about 80 km/h. It was surrounded with orange lights that weakened as a blue source came on, very intense for about 3 sec then all lights disappeared as the object was about 700 m away. This was followed by a sort of "shock-wave" effect, and tree leaves were shaken. The witness entered his house and called the Air Force. Twenty minutes later his vision became hazy and his eyes were painful. He gradually lost vision in both eyes, and his entire body was "sunburned." Medical examination compared the symptoms to ultraviolet exposure. His vision came back gradually over a period of several days.

Description: 9:30 p.m.? Leonard Chalupiak has just put his car into his garage at Baden, Pennsylvania, when he sees a disc-shaped object about 300 feet in diameter flying in front of the moon toward the north at about 50 mph and 2,300 feet away. It is surrounded with orange lights that weaken as a blue light comes on, which is intense for about 3 seconds. Then all the lights disappear and a sort of “shock wave” that shakes the tree leaves commences. The witness goes into his house and calls the Air Force. About 20 minutes later his vision becomes hazy, his eyes grow painful, and he gradually loses vision in both eyes. He notices his entire body is sunburned. A medical examination indicates exposure to ultraviolet radiation. His vision returns gradually over several days. The Air Force labels it a hoax, perhaps confusing it with the Beaver, Pennsylvania, hoax photo of August 8.

Event 25404 (3D85FA87)

Date: 8/13/1965
Description: As he drove away after dropping off his two daughters Mr. Ryerson noticed two unusual "persons" walking along the side of the road next to a bean field. His two teenagers, Ellen Grace Ryerson, age 16, and Laura Jean Ryerson, 13, in Renton, Washington approached these two very unusual beings, while walking next to the bean field at seven o'clock in the morning. The little men were grey colored "like stone", had no hair, and had large bulging eyes. The first “person” was described as like a gnome and wrinkled. He wore a funny little hat. He was dancing and jumping around in front of the other being as they approached. He was making a cackling sound that the girls thought sounded like laughter. The other being was approximately 5 feet tall. He had a very unusual head. His face was gray but the back of his head had a bulbous extension with veins showing through it. It pulsated. On the rest of his cranium there were large pores and this part of his head was white. His eyes were described as like a frog’s eyes. In his mouth he had a little pipe, and he was blowing on it and making a shrill sound. The taller one wore shiny clothes, like satin. Both beings wore sleveless purple vests over white coveralls. Ellen feared that they were going to grab her, so she yelled at her sister to run. The girls fled, and when they looked back after running 50 feet the beings had completely vanished.

Event 25405 (1E11BFFF)

Date: 8/13/1965
Description: David G., age 14, and his father and sister were sitting in their yard at four o'clock in the afternoon in Waverly, Iowa when they heard a high-pitched whining sound and saw an aluminum object 15-20 feet in diameter, looking like “two saucers glued together,” descend slowly from the sky. It disappeared behind a hill a third of a mile away, and the young man walked over to the hill to investigate. When about 150 yards from the site, he saw a humanoid being 3.5 feet tall, with a baldhead, peeking out from behind a tree. He did not see the figure leave, but a minute or so later he saw a “blur” and heard a rush of air. At the landing site, in an old quarry, he found a 15-20 foot circle of burnt glass, within which were three indentations of 5” x 12” and an inch deep. The encounter lasted about a minute and occurred during a minor wave of reports from Iowa and elsewhere.

Description: On this day on the banks of the river in Cruzeiro, Santa Catarina province, Brazil, a little man only 28" tall, introduced himself to a fisherman named Joao do Rio as a UFOnaut. He had large luminous eyes, and spoke perfect Portuguese. He gave Sr. do Rio an "unearthly" metal. The metal was given to the national railroad car factory for analysis. At 8:00 p.m. that same evening a motorist had a close encounter with a black, 90-meter-wide domed disc, which hovered silently over a highway southwest of Itabira, Minas Gerais province, Brazil. The craft hovered just 1.2 meters above the surface of the road, and it followed the contours of the terrain when it departed.

The being walked towards the house and touched the front door briefly, and then returned to the craft, while the terrified witnesses hid in their room. They did not dare look to see the craft or the alien depart.

Location: northwest edge of Sedalia, Missouri
Description: 10:45 p.m.–12:20 a.m. A woman leaves her house on the northwest edge of Sedalia, Missouri, to drive to a drug store. As she is returning home, she sees an unusual figure in the ditch to her right. It turns and waves at her, then stumbles as it climbs out of the ditch. Something (a large bird?) flies up in the air a few feet from the car. She steps on the gas and goes home, where her husband asks her where she has been because it is now 12:25 a.m. In 1977, she undergoes hypnotic regression with hypnotist Ron Owen and recalls an abduction experience where she undergoes some type of examination.

Event 25431 (91656529)

Date: 8/16/1965
Description: A woman was driving home at 11:00 p.m. and was within a mile of her house in Sedalia, Missouri when she saw a light in a field with “smoke” around it. In a nearby ditch she noticed two large “birds,” one of which flew at her car. She arrived home at 12:25 a.m. unable to account for the lapse of time. Under hypnotic regression she recalled that the “birds” in the ditch where in fact two entities wearing spacesuits. One carried a sack on its back, into which the other was putting clumps of grass and soil samples. They were “bouncing up & down, their arms flopping at their sides” in a “stiff” manner suggestive of robots. One started to come out of the ditch, slipped back, then emerged and stood in front of her; its helmet beginning to glow brilliantly. She could now see that its head was wrapped up in tape like a mummy, with only the eyes visible. It stood slightly over five feet tall. At this point a football-shaped UFO landed on the road ahead of her car. Two beings with slightly pointed heads & “wrap around” eyes emerged from the object and opened her car door. They conducted her inside the craft, assuring her telepathically that she would not be hurt. The air inside the UFO was “heavy” and difficult to breathe. Once she was inside they flew the ship over a nearby field, which caused its interior lights to change from white to red. One of the entities, who did most of the communicating, appeared to be a scientist or doctor, and he wore an insignia of three rings on his chest. Another had a red lighting flash symbol on his uniform, and she took him to be the pilot. A third entity appeared to be a woman. All three stood 5’10” tall. The “doctor” put an object of some kind over her head, and she felt as if something were going into her brain. A round black object was then taken out of the wall, and with it “pictures” were taken of her; the object glowed blue when the pictures were taken. On a screen on the wall appeared a pattern: seven vertical lines with markings between them, which she thought must be some type of tabular representation of her brain and body. Two more figures, about a foot shorter than the other three, made their appearance. These beings resembled “gnomes,” and they aroused fear in the woman. They appeared old because their foreheads were wrinkled. She was told by the "doctor" that they and the “mummies” came from different planets. Finally she was led back to her car; the UFO ascended, and then vanished while still at low altitude.

Event 25449 (427FD7E0)

Date: 8/19/1965
Locations: Cherry Creek, New York; Niagara Falls Air Force Base; Lockport Air Force Station
Description: 8:20–9:00 p.m. Harold Butcher, 16, is milking the cows in his father’s barn in Cherry Creek, New York, and listening to radio station WKBW. Just outside, a 3-year old bull is tied by its nose to a metal pipe. Harold hears the bull make a noise “like I have never heard come from an animal before.” Looking out the window, he sees the animal is bending the pipe. Simultaneously, he sees a metallic-looking, football-shaped UFO about 50 feet long and approximately 20 feet thick hovering just above the trees an estimated 450 feet from the barn. Slowly, the object descends behind a maple tree, emitting a red vapor from around its edges and a “beep-beep” sound. Meanwhile, the radio is emitting static, even though WKBW usually has a clear signal. Harold calls the house on an intercom, then runs outside. As he approaches the bull, the UFO rises and moves behind some clouds “as fast as a snap of my fingers” emitting red vapor toward the ground, then bounces back to the ship as it hovers about 10 feet in the air. The noise also increases to a level approximating a sonic boom as it goes up. As the UFO disappears, the clouds turn green. Inside, the boy’s mother, Mrs. William Butcher, notes that there is “definite interference” in her radio reception. Harold’s brother, Robert, also goes outside and the two boys see that the UFO has reappeared, this time hovering over a pine grove. It ascends again, emitting the red vapor and turning the clouds green. Others in the house include William Butcher Jr. and Kathleen Brougham, a friend. They do not see the object. It returns twice at 8:45 and 9:00 p.m., finally disappearing to the southwest. Trooper E. J. Haas and a fellow officer arrive on the scene shortly thereafter. As they all walk out to inspect the area of the initial sighting, they notice a pungent odor. Harold and the young daughter suffer from upset stomachs. Mrs. Butcher says the cows produce only one can of milk that evening, as opposed to their usual two and a half cans. Harold discovers a purple, oily-smelling liquid and gives a sample of it to the state police, who turn it over to Capt. James A. Dorsey and five others from Niagara Falls Air Force Base [now Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station], who come to investigate the report the following afternoon. When NICAP investigator Jeffrey Gow arrives on the scene, he notices the foot-tall grass in the area “seemed to be bent over in long curved sweeps.” Radar targets are picked up between 8:00–8:30 p.m. by an AN/FPS-6 Long Range Height Finder Radar of the 763rd Radar Squadron at Lockport Air Force Station [now closed] near Shawnee, New York. The target is sighted near the upper limit of the radar.

The object, which was flashing and rotating, brushed the tops of nearby trees in its passage overhead and, after landing, the Yacobis could see luminous red or violet figures moving about and examining the craft, as if in some type of repair activity. After a short while these figures re-entered the machine, which took off and disappeared within a few seconds. Others in the neighborhood had seen the object’s passage overhead, and still others had heard the humming noise. Total duration of incident was 30 minutes.

Event 25489 (5A774B95)

Date: 8/26/1965
Description: At 1:30 a.m. Hector Crespo, a highway engineer, his son Urgenio, and Francisco Lopez were approaching Zhulleng, 11 miles from Cuenca, Ecuador when they saw two beams of bright light shining up into the sky. On going to investigate what they believed was a car wreck; they found a circular object 20 feet in diameter, with a transparent dome on top. A bright amber light kept flashing around the edge, and flickering red and blue beams were shining downwards. The three men approached to within 60 feet of the UFO, and could see through an open doorway instruments and lights inside it. Three human-like figures were seen outside the object, one apparently adjusting the light beam projector, and the other two handing him tools. They all moved very slowly, “as if under water.” They were dressed in metallic-looking, silvery white, close-fitting coveralls, with wide white belts, dark epaulets, and shiny helmets. At one point two of the “men” turned and looked directly at the spot where the witnesses were watching from, as though knowing the operation was being observed, but simply returned to the repairs. The object stood on telescopic legs with curved dish-like footpads, although they were uncertain as to whether there were three or four legs. Crespo’s son became so frightened that he became nauseated, so they went back to their car. After awhile they saw the object take off, and the light moving around the edge was now a brilliant red and the vertical white beams had been extinguished. Just before it “took off like lighting,” it became too bright to look at.

(Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case # 9864; Lloyd Mallan, Science & Mechanics, December 1966, p. 30; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 152; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).

1967 - Two newspaper delivery cyclists, Jones and Hollander, had come to a bridge in Crewe, Cheshire, England at 8:30 a.m. when they saw a hovering domed disc-shaped UFO. It had a transparent dome with an antenna, an elliptical body, and an undercarriage with three dark circles and many wires or tubes that were evident. A very well documented report.At 8:55 p.m. two witnesses in a residential neighborhood at Shrewbridge Crescent in Nantwich, Cheshire, England viewed in the sky what they described as a yellow elongated rugby ball with a dome through binoculars. It was as bright as the full moon, and estimated to be half a mile away, at 25 degrees elevation. It flew in an arc, hovered, and then went in front of a dark cloud, behind another low cloud. It made a sound like a turbojet. A shiny white cigar-shaped object was seen by five witnesses in Sandbach, Cheshire, England at 9:00 p.m. It was brighter than the moon and had blurry edges, but appeared to be solid. It flew from south to northwest low in the sky, and went in front of a black cloud. It was viewed for 30 seconds and made no sound.

Description: (Translated from French) A group of hunters who were travelling through the valley suddenly found themselves in front of a real fleet of twelve flying saucers. At midnight four hunters saw above them a large luminous saucer. They shone the headlights of their cars on the object (note from vog: how did they do this?). Soon eleven new arrivals had joined the first saucer and formed a circle above the hunters. One of the latter, having had the idea to turn on and off his headlights alternately, the saucers did the same. (1965, before September)

(Janet and Colin BORD: "Modern Mysteries of the World" - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 343) In Jalapa, an object was seen hovering whose circumference was pierced with luminous slots and in which an entity dressed in black, with eyes shining like those of a cat, was seen holding a kind of metal bar that shone. The entity suddenly disappeared while a journalist from the place, two taxi drivers and a bullfighter observed it in the street.

Description: (Translated from French) Between 7:30 and 8:00 PM, Mrs. A.V. was driving at 90 km/h. Her husband was following in another car at a maximum of 500 m. When she arrived at the sharp turn, she felt that the direction of the car was no longer responding, the steering wheel was going left and right without any apparent reason. She felt strangely lifted with the car a few centimeters above the ground. At the same time, "a small neon" appeared a few centimeters from the windshield, opaque, light yellow in color, and it stayed there for a few seconds. It was like a tube 70 cm long and 4 cm thick, slightly curved upwards, with sharp and well-defined contours. Then, it suddenly disappeared. The car regained contact with the ground and the witness had passed the turn by a good 50 m. During the "transportation", she had seen the dust from the road flying at a height of about one meter..

Event 25526 (54934D6E)

Date: 9/3/1965
Location: USA, Exeter (New Hampshire)
Description: (Translated from French) 2 a.m. Witnesses: Exeter police officers Eugene Bertrand, Jr. and David Hunt, and civilian Norman Muscarello. A dark, elliptical object, surrounded by a series of red lights, maneuvered silently and erratically around houses and trees, while the lights blinked in sequence. Farm animals were screaming. Observation lasted about an hour. (Project Blue Book - cfr Don Berliner). 1:45 p.m. (note de vog: ???) a young man, Norman Muscarello, 18 years old, stumbled into the Exeter police station. He was out of breath from his run, green with fear and trembling so much that he couldn't speak. When he calmed down he was able to tell Officer Tolan and Agent Bertrand that as he was returning home on Route 150, the area in front of him was suddenly illuminated by a blinding red light, then a strange aerial vessel rose above a clump of trees. As the craft approached Muscarello saw 4 or 5 bright red beams, coming out alternately from its base, in a continuous line back and forth. The lights blinked in an increasing and decreasing sequence: 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1. Panicked, Muscarello rushed behind a stone wall, which the craft slowly and silently flew over at less than 30 meters high, before hovering just above the house of a neighbor, Clyde Russel. This allowed the witness to observe that the craft was longer than the house and must have measured about thirty meters. Agents Bertrand and David Hunt also saw the craft.

Description: Two Angleton sheriffs, McCoy and Robert Goode saw from their car a huge object 70 m long, 15 m high, with a bright, violet light at one end and a pale-blue light at the other. They stopped to watch it and saw the craft fly within 30 m, casting a huge shadow when it intercepted the moonlight. They felt a heat wave and drove away in fear, but returned to the site a second time, only to turn around when they found the object was still there. Goode had been bitten by an animal before the sighting, and his left index finger swelled and bled freely. After exposure to the light from the object, the pain was gone, and the wound cured unnaturally. Later that evening, two men found him at a restaurant and described the object in detail, adding he should keep future encounters to himself.

Event 25547 (FA643F9D)

Date: 9/3/1965
Locations: Exeter, New Hampshire; State Highway 101; Route 150 (Amesbury Road); Kensington, New Hampshire; Exeter police station; Route 150; Pease AFB [now Pease Air National Guard Base] in Portsmouth; Boston
Description: Around 1:00 a.m. Exeter, New Hampshire, Police Officer Eugene F. Bertrand Jr. comes across a woman parked on State Highway 101. “She was real upset,” he says, “and told me that a red glowing object had chased her.” Around 2:00 a.m., while walking home to Exeter on Route 150 (Amesbury Road) near Kensington, New Hampshire, teenager Norman J. Muscarello is terrorized by a large object with four or five bright red lights that approaches from nearby woods and hovers over a field. Horses are spooked. Muscarello gets a ride to the Exeter police station, pale and shaken, and reports the incident at 2:24 a.m. Officer Bertrand drives him back to the field along Route 150 to investigate. When he is called to investigate Muscarello’s report, the earlier incident causes him to pay attention. At first Bertrand and Muscarello see nothing, but when Bertrand flashes a light around the field around 3:00 a.m., a huge dark object with red flashing lights rises up over the trees, moving back and forth, tilts, and comes toward them. They both see pulsating red lights that dim from left to right then right to left in a 5- 4-3-2-1 then 1-2-3-4-5 pattern. Each cycle takes about 2 seconds. The object hovers for several minutes, and everything is silent except for the dogs and horses. Then it darts, turns sharply, slows down, and begins to move away. Another patrolman, David R. Hunt, pulls up and sees the pulsating lights and the UFO. Bertrand says the lights are always in a line and at a 60° angle; when the object moves, the lower lights are always forward of the others. In the daytime, the police station calls Pease AFB [now Pease Air National Guard Base] in Portsmouth to reconfirm the incident. By 1:00 p.m., 2–4 police officers arrive to interview the three witnesses at length. Journalist John G. Fuller investigates the case during the next month. He finds a huge gap between media coverage and local perceptions. Raymond Fowler finds that the local advertising plane operated by Sky-Lite Aerial Advertising Agency of Boston was not running between August 21 and September 10.

Locations: Brazoria County; Highway 36; West Columbia; Damon, Texas
Description: 11:00 p.m. Brazoria County Sheriff’s Deputies Billy E. McCoy and Robert Goode are patrolling Highway 36 between West Columbia and Damon, Texas. They see a dark-gray triangular object, 150–200 feet long and 40–50 feet thick at the middle, with a long, bright, pulsing, purple light on the right side and a long blue light on the left side. It approaches to within 150 feet from the highway and 100 feet in the air. Purple light illuminates the ground beneath the object and the interior of the police car, and the object casts a shadow in the moonlight. Goode feels heat on his left arm; an alligator bite on his left index finger is suddenly relieved of pain, later healing rapidly but unnaturally. They drive away in fear but return later that night to find the object still there.

Description: At 11:00 p.m. a football-field sized purple oval or cigar-shaped object, 40 feet high, approached a stopped sheriff's patrol car in Damon, Texas. The two sheriff officers in the car, McCoy and Goode, saw the huge illuminated object speed toward their patrol car, hover, and illuminate them and the surrounding terrain in a purple light. They reported that there were bright lights on either end of the object: a weak blue light was seen on the extreme right of the object, which came out in two steps, and a purple light on the left, which lit the ground and bathed the car's interior.The UFO hovered within 30 meters of them, casting a huge shadow when it intercepted the moonlight . They felt a sensation of heat, and drove away in fear. Later they returned to investigate and had another close encounter. One of the officers reported that a skin lession he had healed rapidly after their UFO close encounter.Goode had been bitten by an animal before the sighting, and his left index finger swelled and bled freely. After exposure to the light from the object the pain was gone, and the wound cured unnaturally quickly. Later that evening, two men found him at a restaurant and described the object in detail, adding he should keep future encounters to himself.

Event 25554 (BE0F1BE6)

Date: 9/3/1965
Description: On this night Mrs. M. Gorzelle, age 45, had remembered going to bed, but suddenly found herself awake and driving on a rural asphalt road near Des Plaines, Illinois. Then she came to a spot where a man was standing on the road, waving a lantern. She stopped, believing there had been an accident, and got out. The man was tall, normal in appearance except for a very high forehead, and was dressed in a white coverall with a metal buckle at the waist. She was led across the grass to an area that was suddenly brightly illuminated from a door opening in a craft, which she described as a large round mass sitting on legs, about 100 feet from the road. There were three more cars stopped along the road, and the occupants of these vehicles were also being escorted into the craft. Their abductors were all over 6 feet tall, with very high foreheads, and bald. Inside the vessel were two “normal appearing” men, also in white coveralls, one with white hair. He was the only one who spoke during the experience, and he did so in a language unknown to the witness. The other “human” looked Italian, and was younger. The four tall occupants each appeared to be in charge of the four abductees and were identical in appearance. The room was filled with electronic equipment and control knobs, and telepathically she was told she would not recall the incident. The next thing she remembered was being led outside again by her “host,” and being helped into her car. The other three men were likewise being assisted to their cars. Mrs Gorzelle made a U-turn, and drove straight home, where she went directly to bed. Self-hypnosis indicated that a medical examination had been conducted, and that this was actually her second abduction experience.

Event 25556 (ABB403D2)

Date: 9/4/1965
Description: In an isolated area of the Green River Gorge, Washington State a man named Salsbury encountered a landed white, disc-shaped craft from which a loud voice resembling a “loud speaker” originated. It told him not to be afraid, and to put down his gun. Once he did that, an oval-shaped door opened under the lower part of the object, and a man came out walking slowly towards him. The man was described as six feet tall, appearing to be about 30 years of age. He was dressed in a one-piece tight-fitting suit made of some sort of metallic coating, resembling aluminum or chrome, but dull reflecting. He also wore a helmet that was very tight-fitting on his skull. On his side he carried an odd-looking sidearm with a barrel about the size of a regular flashlight, but instead of a hole in it, it had some sort of oval lens of a purplish-bluish color. He spoke to the witness in a very refined voice, telling him “Don’t be alarmed, I am not here to cause you any injury or harm.” The man told the witness that he was the captain of his craft, and invited him onboard for a brief tour.

They stopped and then rose to about 5 meters, leaving behind two small beings about 70 to 80 cm tall, who apparently had come out of the discs. The small creatures looked like men, were well proportioned, with smooth, reddish-brown faces "exactly like wax" and normal eyes. They wore one-piece clothing that fit very tightly. Terrified, the farmer leaned against a tree, holding a pickaxe in one hand, and the creatures that had approached returned, speaking an unintelligible language. When the farmer thought "Could these be the people from the flying saucers they talk about?" they turned, smiled, approached him, examining a tomato plant and plucking a fruit as they passed. Then they moved away again, the discs hovering descended, and apparently the little people got on board because when the discs shot up vertically with a sharp whistle, the little men had disappeared.

Date: 9/14/1965
Location: FINLAND, Langenhoe
Description: (Translated from French) 01:00, starry sky, Paul Green, engineer, driving on the highway. A strange sound reaches him, while to the east he sees a blue glow. After some stalling the engine stops, the headlights go out. The same happens to a scooter following the same road. Getting out of the car Paul Green sees an object as high as a gasometer approaching, topped with a dome lit from the inside, while the buzzing increases. Then, unable to move, the witness feels paralysis taking over. The dark base of the craft stops a few decimeters from his head. He feels cardiac and cervical fluctuations, dizziness and receives an electric shock leaving him unconscious but standing. A little further the scooterist is also petrified. Later Paul Green notices his clothes cracking, his hair wrinkling and breaking. A dog from the nearby village has its fur affected in the same way, after the passage of a bluish phenomenon in the sky.

Description: 1:00 a.m. Engineer Paul Green is riding a motorcycle south of Langenhoe, Essex, UK, near Langenhoe Hall Lane when he hears a high-pitched humming to the east and notices a pinpoint of blue light moving in his direction. The humming becomes a loud buzzing, and his engine sputters and dies and the headlight goes out. The light resolves into an enormous domed disc that tilts and slowly descends. The underside of the disc has numerous round items. Green walks toward the object, but he feels paralyzed as the flashing blue light becomes intense, fluctuating in rhythm with his heartbeat. He feels a tingling like an electric shock. The object seems to land in an area with farmhouses. Green notes that another cyclist has had a similar problem, but with some difficulty he gets his cycle started. The next day he notices that his hair and clothes are imbued with static electricity.

Constables John Lockem and Koos de Klerk are patrolling on the Pretoria- Bronkhorstspruit highway in South Africa when their police van headlights suddenly illuminate a domed, disc- shaped object sitting on the road. The UFO is copper colored and about 30 feet in diameter. Within seconds, the object lifts off the road, emitting tongues of flame from two tubes or channels on the underside. Flames from the macadam road surface shoot up in the air about 3 feet as the UFO departs, blazing long after it is out of sight. Later investigation shows that part of the road is caved in as if from a heavy weight, and the gravel is separated from the tar in a severely burned area about 6 feet in diameter. Lt. Col. J. B. Brits, district commandant of Pretoria North, tells the media that the incident is considered “as being of a highly secret nature and an inquiry is being conducted in top circles.” Samples of the road surface are taken for analysis by a leading scientific agency; the report is never made public.

Date: Fall 1965
Locations: Chesapeake & Ohio; Fostoria, Ohio
Description: 10:30 a.m. A Chesapeake & Ohio train is moving 8 miles south of Fostoria, Ohio, when the fireman and engineer see a large cigar-shaped object in the sky a considerable distance away. It is dark in color and positioned at a 45° angle from the horizon. It appears to be creating its own cloud screen. Suddenly a small object falls out of the tail and descends slowly in a fluttering fashion. Near the ground the small object stabilizes, emits coal-black smoke from its top, and then rises upward faster and faster. Three more objects leave the large one, each taking 10–12 minutes. They go off in different directions. After the last one leaves, a white cloud forms around the large object, which remains in the sky with other normal white clouds.

Event 25648 (E65E59D3)

Date: Late 9/1965
Location: Fort-de-France, Martinique
Description: 9:15 p.m. Two French submarines, the Junon (S648) and the Daphné (S641), escorted by the logistic support vessel Rhône, are anchored off Fort-de-France, Martinique, when a large luminous object the color of a fluorescent tube arrives slowly and silently from the west. Michel Figuet on the Junon goes into the coming tower and gets six pairs of binoculars that he distributes to companions. There are 300 witnesses, including four officers on the Junon, three officers on the Daphné, a dozen French sailors, and personnel of the weather observatory. All witnesses aboard the Junon see the object as a large ball of light or a disc on edge arriving from the west. It moves slowly, horizontally, at a distance estimated at 6 miles south of the ships, from west to east. It leaves a whitish trace similar to the glow of a TV screen. When it was directly south of the ships the object drops toward the earth, makes two complete loops, then hovers in the midst of a faint halo. Figuet watches the object vanish in the center of its glow “like a bulb turned off.” The trail and the halo remain visible in the sky for a full minute. At 9:45 p.m. the halo reappears at the same place, and the object switches on again. It rises, makes two more loops, and flies away to the west, where it disappears at 9:50 p.m.

Description: (Translated from French) The audio documentation of Sam Sherman, "The Edwards Air Force Base Encounter" from the night of October 7, 1965, contains copies of the current voice recordings made available by the Air Force. During this night of October 7, 1965, twelve extremely bright UFOs invaded the airspace and descended to low altitude above the runways of Edwards Base, where operator Chuck Sorrels, in the control tower, saw them and reported the event to his superiors. I met Sorrels who can be heard on the tape and he confirms that this is indeed what he said. The UFOs are described and an interception decision is taken involving F-106s. This is without a doubt the best audio tape ever heard about UFOs and the recording itself is an unparalleled event. A copy can be obtained for (May 1999) $14.95 each, plus shipping $2.00, for a total of $16.95 -- The buyer can also send a check to Independent International, Box 565, Dept. GF, Old Bridge, New Jersey 08857. [note from vog: I'm not advertising the cassette, I'm just translating the accounts of the "events". Here it is obviously ufobusiness…]

Event 25693 (E5AE1385)

Description: (Translated from French) Sergeant Tech Charles "Chuck" Sorrels, an Edwards Air Base control tower operator, sees a group of objects emitting red, white, and blue lights approaching the airfield. When these objects begin to perform unusual maneuvers, he concludes that this is not ordinary and notifies the Air Defense Command - in this case, a unit called LAADS (Los Angeles Air Defense Sector). Major Struble of LAADS orders the conversations to be recorded. He involves NORAD and other air bases: Norton, Hamilton, George, and March. The major wants to send planes towards the objects but cannot do so until a captain from Edwards has approved the sending of the planes. This captain is the "UFO officer" responsible at the base. It is requested that the planes can depart from the 28th Air Division at Hamilton, or else they will not take off at all. (October 7th, 0:30)

Event 25707 (05778DD1)

Date: Mid 10/1965
Locations: Cochrane, Alberta; Circle J Ranch
Description: 9:30 a.m. Bill Hertzke, a ranch hand on the Circle J Ranch near Cochrane, Alberta, is on his horse in a pasture when he sees an object like a small airplane parked on the ground. It is silver-gray with swept-back wings, about 16 feet long, a wingspan of about 12 feet, and its fuselage is about 4-5 feet deep. He rides over and examines it. The exterior is irregular, “like a waffle.” A transparent dome covers the cockpit. Through it he can see complicated instruments (knobs, dials, and switches), a TV screen, and two transparent (like Plexiglas) bucket seats. There are no visible motors, propellers, jets, insignia, or identifying marks of any kind. It has an exterior door about 2 feet wide and 3 feet high that is open about 2 inches. His horse is extremely skittish, so he ties it to a tree and returns on foot. He spends 10–15 minutes examining it and can see no landing gear (although it seems to be suspended 18–20 inches off the ground) or seams of any kind. He realizes he can go inside the door but is a bit too scared to even touch the object, and has to return to chores anyway.

Event 25719 (60A726E6)

Date: 10/21/1965
Locations: Saint George, Minnesota; Gibbon
Description: 6:10 p.m. Five witnesses are in a car near Saint George, Minnesota, returning to their homes in Gibbon from a bow-hunting trip. Arthur A. Strauch, a Sibley County deputy sheriff, is the first to spot a strange object that seems to be 2,000 feet above the ground and a quarter of a mile distant in the northwest sky. After watching for about 10 minutes from the car, the group drives down the road about a half mile and stops. Strauch observes it both with the naked eye and through 7x35 binoculars. At first they hear no sound, but as the object flies over them, Donald Martin Grewe describes the sound as a “whistling whine.” Strauch snaps a photograph just as the object begins to move. The object then flies into the wind for several hundred feet, then stops for a few seconds, at which time its lights change from bright white to dull orange, alternating several times. It then moves toward the southeast at a high rate of speed and disappears out of sight.

Event 25721 (F1017B50)

Date: 10/22/1965
Locations: Gauteng, South Africa; Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory; Jet Propulsion Lab
Description: Afternoon. Geof Gray-Cobb, a Canadian technician working with the Deep Space Instrumentation Facility [now the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory] in Gauteng, South Africa, in tracking Mariner 4, is present when the spacecraft’s signal strength begins rising at a point when it should not have. The team alerts the Jet Propulsion Lab. The signal strength is now so high that the instruments are clicking as they max out. Gray- Cobb says the “raw radio energy” is coming in indecipherable “blips and dashes.” Nothing can be seen visually. Eight minutes later, everything goes silent. JPL later asks them to point their dish in the direction it was pointing when they picked up the signal. They do, but forget to correct for the earth’s rotation. Nonetheless, they get the signal again, which means it is a local source. Nothing is visible in the sky, but a sound sweep reveals that the source is a perfect circle 2° in diameter. The team directs a packet of radio pulses at the source, but it falls silent. Two months later, Gray-Cobb discovers that the pages for the event are gone from the log; the tape recording of the event is also missing. The manager tells him that two men with “authorization” had come three days after the event to confiscate the tapes.

Three creatures with "tripod legs and matchstick arms," brownish-black in color, having no eyes or facial features, stood in a large, lighted circle under it, facing the witness for a few moments before disappearing in the intense light. The object rose straight up for 400 m, with a high-pitched humming sound, stopped and vanished. The car then resumed normal operation by itself.

As his car skids to a stop 20 feet from the object, the vehicle’s motor and electrical system die. The object looks like it is made of stainless steel, stands 30–40 feet high, and is 10 feet in diameter. In a circle of light under it, Townsend sees three things that resemble beer cans with “tripod legs and three matchstick arms.” They have no eyes, but Townsend feels as if they are looking at him. He gets out of the car to try to knock one over, but they come over to him and they stand there looking at him. Eventually they turn around and “scoot under the ship,” disappearing into the light beneath it. An ear-splitting humming sound emanates from the UFO, which assumes a bright illumination and shoots off. The Todd County sheriff and UFO investigators assume that Townsend, a deeply religious man, is sincere.

Event 25728 (223F6B91)

Date: 10/23/1965
Description: James Townsend, age 19, a radio announcer for KEYL Radio, had a close encounter with a UFO and three creatures at about 7:15 p.m. on a road about four miles east of Long Prairie, Minnesota. As he was driving around a curve in the road he saw an upright, rocket-like object straddling the road. It was about 30 or 40 feet high and about 10 feet in diameter, resting on legs or fins. His car engine stalled, the lights and radio went out, and he slammed on the brakes and stopped twenty feet in front of it. His first thought was to knock it over with the car so he would have some evidence, but the engine had already stalled. Then he got out with the idea of trying to push it over by hand.

"When I got to the front of my car, three creatures that looked like individual tin cans on tripods, and were six inches tall, came from behind the rocket. They didn't have eyes that I could see, but I knew they were looking at me. I stopped. I didn't have any desire to get closer. There was no sound--just dead silence. It seemed like ages as we looked at each other. Then they went up into the rocket, which had a bright colorless light glowing out of the bottom. There was a loud hum. The rocket went up and disappeared. When the light on the bottom went out after it was in the air, my car radio and light came on, and my engine started without having to touch the starter."

Townsend said his car had an automatic transmission and he had placed the selector lever in "park." Townsend said his heart was pounding and his legs were like rubber. He drove at high speed back to Long Prairie to report his close encounter. Townsend said the craft took off, looking "just like a flashlight that is turned on and then lifted up from the table with the light at the bottom." That night several hunters in the Long Prairie area claimed to have seen a strong light above them that lit up the ground. Other hunters reported seeing a lighted object circle around and around in the sky over their farm.

Around the same time, John Fuller hears from an Air Force pilot that pilots have been ordered to shoot down UFOs when possible, but the objects appear to be “invulnerable” and can outmaneuver any aircraft.

Then a Martian appeared, which the two witnesses agreed to describe in the same way: "It looked like a big lizard, 80 cm long; it had mouse ears, six tubular arms and a long tail ending in an olive leaf. He held an object, a kind of metal umbrella, with three very thin supports that he waved as if he were making signals. After observing everything carefully, he jumped to the ground and, of course, José and Ignacio ran away.

Event 25764 (6673C265)

Date: 11/9/1965
Locations: Ontario; Connecticut; Massachusetts; New Hampshire; New Jersey; New York; Rhode Island; Pennsylvania; Vermont; Queenston, Ontario; Niagara Falls; Syracuse; Holliston, Massachusetts
Description: 5:16 p.m. The Northeast power blackout, a significant disruption in the supply of electricity, affects parts of Ontario, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Over 30 million people and 80,000 square miles are left without electricity for up to 13 hours. The cause of the failure is the setting of a protective relay on one of the transmission lines from the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Station No. 2 in Queenston, Ontario, near Niagara Falls. Prior to and coincident with the blackout, there are a number of reports of unusual lights in Syracuse and Niagara Falls, New York, and Holliston, Massachusetts, and there is speculation that the blackout is related to UFO activity in some way. But there is no evidence of a direct connection.

Event 25766 (3F76C664)

Date: 11/10/1965
Location: Manhattan, New York City
Description: Before dawn. Actor Stuart Whitman is staying in a hotel in Manhattan, New York City, during the Northeast power blackout. He hears a “sound, like a whippoorwill whistling outside my twelfth-story window.” He steps to the window and sees 2 luminous UFOs hovering nearby, one orange, the other blue. He hears voices from the UFOs in his head, telling him they are fearful of earth because humans are messing around with “unknown quantities” that might disrupt the balance of the universe. They claim the blackout is a small demonstration of their power and ask Whitman to do what he can to fight malice, prejudice, and hate on earth. The objects disappear.

Event 25774 (1324EFDB)

Date: 11/13/1965
Description: Two odd looking craft were seen floating or hovering near the surface of the ocean at the southern tip of New Zealand. Two fisherman, Mr. R. D. Hanning, age 41, skipper of the fishing vessel Eleoneai, and Mr. W. J. Johnson made the sighting. They had set out from Bluff, the port of Invercargill, New Zealand, to tend pots in the area of Stewart Island, the southernmost part of New Zealand. At 11:30 a.m. they were about half a mile off Rugged Islands when they saw a strange craft come out of the water. Its tapered structure rose about 15 feet above the water and measured 5 feet high at the top and 12 feet at the water line. Then, about 30 feet away, a second box-shaped object, about 10 feet long and 5 feet high, was seen. There was no sign of any periscope or railing and nothing but the 'tower' and 'box' were visible. The water was smooth and the objects were in clear view 300 yards away. After 10 seconds there was suddenly a great surging of water and both object vanished beneath the surface. Both men were rather startled at this display and in fact were somewhat frightened by it. They hung around for a few minutes, decided not to wait any longer, and steamed off. The water at the spot where they had made the sighting was about 30 fathoms deep to a sandy bottom.

Location: Kecksburgh, PA
Description: A UFO crash-landed in the Kecksburgh, PA woods. It had appeared as a fireball flying across several U.S. states and Canada. Dozens of witnesses described military personnel cordoning off the landing area. The object was transported away by military truck. In Feb. 1969, the key witness (John Murphy ) to this incident was struck and killed by a car on a highway near Ventura. Researcher, Stan Gordon kept the research of this incident alive. The Blue Book report changed the name of Kecksburg to “Acme” PA. After 20 yrs. Bill Bulebush came forward with a description of the downed UFO.

Event 25822 (ED1C41FE)

Date: 12/9/1965
Locations: Detroit, Michigan; Windsor, Ontario; Michigan; Northern Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Kecksburg, Pennsylvania; Johnson Atoll; Vandenberg AFB
Description: 4:47 p.m. A large, brilliant fireball is seen by thousands in at least six states and Ontario, Canada. It streaks over the Detroit, Michigan–Windsor, Ontario, area, reportedly drops hot metal debris over Michigan and northern Ohio starting some grass fires and causes sonic booms in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area. It is generally assumed and reported by the press to be a meteor after authorities discount other proposed explanations such as a plane crash, errant missile test, or reentering satellite debris. However, eyewitnesses in the small village of Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, claim something has crashed in the woods. A boy sees the object land; his mother Frances Kalp sees a wisp of blue smoke rising from the woods and alerts local radio station WHJB. Another observer reports feeling a vibration and “a thump” about the time the object reportedly lands. Others from Kecksburg, including local volunteer fire department members (Carl Metz and Paul Shipco), report seeing an object in the shape of an acorn and about as large as a Volkswagen Beetle. Writing resembling Egyptian hieroglyphs is also said to be in a band around the base of the object. A reporter and news director for WHJB, John J. Murphy, arrives on the scene of the event before authorities have arrived, in response to several calls to the station from alarmed citizens. He takes several photographs and conducts interviews with witnesses. His former wife Bonnie Millslagle later reports that all but one roll of the film is confiscated by military personnel. WHJB office manager Mabel Mazza describes one of the pictures: “It was very dark and it was with a lot of trees around and everything. And I don’t know how far away from the site he was. But I did see a picture of a sort of a cone-like thing. It’s the only time I ever saw it.” Witnesses further report that an intense military presence, most notably the US Army, is secures the area, orders civilians out, seals the area within 2 hours of the event, and then removes an object on a flatbed truck. The military claims they have searched the woods and can find “absolutely nothing.” The official explanation of the widely seen fireball is that it is a mid-sized meteor, as suggested, for example, by University of Michigan astronomer William P. Bidelman. However, speculation as to the identity of the Kecksburg object (if there was one—reports vary) include an alien craft; debris from Kosmos 96 (James Oberg), a Soviet space probe intended for Venus that fails and never leaves the Earth’s atmosphere (now seen as unlikely); a General Electric Mark 2 Reentry Vehicle launched from Johnson Atoll in the Pacific Ocean on December 7 by the Air Force as a spy satellite (John Ventre and Owen Eichler); and a secret Corona spy satellite, KH-4A 1027, launched from Vandenberg AFB [now Vandenberg Space Force Base] on December 9 (Bob Wenzel Gross).

Event 25824 (51F98CB9)

Date: 12/10/1965
Description: An anonymous Air Force security team member at Lockbourne AFB near Columbus, OH states he guarded an object on 10 December 1965 after it arrived from Pennsylvania. He states it was there for the morning and sent to WPAFB. Another source, a truck driver, states he saw a flatbed trailer with an object shaped like a “bell” under a tarp sitting upright.

This matches what witnesses say they saw crashed in Kecksburg, PA on 9 December 1965, a bell shaped object. John Podesta stated in 2003 that it was questionable how the “unexplained crash” records were not released by NASA.

Date: 12/11/1965
Description: Charles Jones, who claims to be psychic and has frequently reported UFO sightings ever since 1947, was driving home between Sheridan and Lamong, Indiana at 1:05 p.m. when he saw a lighted object come down through the low clouds. It was shaped like a cigar, but with the rear end cut off on a bevel, and it bore a red and white blinking light. The front had a transparent surface and through it Jones could see a very stockily built, six-foot tall occupant. The being appeared to be hiding his face from the witness. He wore a tight-fitting headpiece, continuous with the coveralls, that obscured the hair and ears. Jones did however observe one eye, which he said was larger than normal sized and set more toward the side of the head. The face also had a wide nose and jowls. The complexion of the face was dark bronze, and the entity was wearing a one-piece brown coverall. The object was less than 60 feet off the ground and approximately 150 feef from the left side of the road, traveling north.

Description: 11:45 p.m. Edward A. Bruns is driving his father’s 1962 Ford pickup truck, heading west just south of Herman, Minnesota. He sees a bright, oval-shaped object hovering several feet above the road. It covers the entire road and is shaped like two saucers with a dome on top. A window-like structure surrounds the dome and emits a green light. Suddenly the truck engine stops, the headlights go out, and the vehicle lifts up, spins violently to the right, ending up in a ditch on the other side of the road. Stunned, Bruns stares at the UFO, which makes a whistling sound, emits sparks, shoots upward, and disappears. He runs home, scared and nervous. His father goes to the site of the crash but cannot get the truck out. A reporter later confirms seeing the truck in the ditch with a complete “absence of skid marks in the snow to account for how it got there.”

Description: Ret. USAF pilot Warren Botz in 1966 and journalist Jack D. Pickett in 1967 state they see USAF-decaled flying disc craft with tail fins at MacDill AFB.

Pickett and his business partner Harold Baker claim they were invited to MacDill to write about USAF experimental aircraft and were shown four decommissioned “X-planes,” all discs, measuring 20, 40, 70 and 116 feet in diameter. Pickett and Baker say they interviewed base personnel who said the discs were developed in the 1950s for reconnaissance purposes, had supersonic capabilities and reached the edge of space.

Note: Eighteen years earlier, a NACA (predecessor to NASA) employee saw a disc with tail fin in Oregon cataloged by Project Grudge.

Event 25873 (0519CEE6)

Date: 1/5/1966
Description: Violet Bricker was driving two miles north of La Harpe, Illinois on Rte. 94 at 8:15 a.m. when she observed a light flash that she first believed was an approaching plane. As it neared she saw it was more dirigible-shaped and closed rapidly on a collision course with her. It stopped and hovered over the telephone lines opposite her car. It was ovoid shaped and made no sound, and was about as long as a Piper Club. It had a single bright yellow-white light on the end facing her. There were no doors, ports, or landing gear visible, but a lateral line like a seam encircled the UFO. It began revolving in a clockwise motion on its axis, bringing the other end in view and exposing a two-foot platform on which stood a "man" wearing a bulky, white, one-piece suit. He was about five and one half feet tall, stocky build, and he stood with his left hand against the object and his right hand on his hip, staring directly down on the witness. His face had a ruddy complexion and his eyes were dark, but he looked entirely normal otherwise. The object drifted about on its axis and the man was lost from view. Ms. Bricker was so taken aback by the experience she could not recall if she actually stopped her car or not. She recalled seeing a man and a woman on foot not 20 feet away to whom she signaled frantically to catch their attention, but to no avail.

They fit together without the edges touching. Honestly, I can't describe it any better. I won't say it reflected light, but rather that it was luminous, you know, like the luminous dial of an alarm clock at night. I know it was something material, and I won't budge on that. The outline was very clear. At no point was it blurry. We had the impression that it was a solid body, like when you look at an airplane... It was exactly as if, from below, I had seen an airplane just above me... Perfectly still... We had been observing the thing for maybe 5 minutes when it shot off at a dizzying speed. And yet, without a single sound being heard. (January 11, 3:05 AM)

Event 25919 (AD178508)

Date: 1/17/1966
Locations: Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain; Palomares, Spain; Savannah River plant in South Carolina
Description: A B-52G Strategic Air Command bomber collides with a KC-135 tanker during mid-air refueling at 31,000 feet over the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain. The tanker is completely destroyed and the B-52G breaks apart, killing 3 of its 7 crew members. Of the four Mk28-type hydrogen bombs the B-52G carries, three are found on land near the small fishing village of Palomares, Spain. The non-nuclear explosives in two of the weapons detonate upon impact with the ground, resulting in the contamination of a 0.77-square-mile area by plutonium. The fourth, which falls into the Mediterranean, is recovered intact after a 2 1⁄2-month-long search. Some 800 individuals with no hands-on expertise improvise search and decontamination procedures. More than 1,400 tons of radioactive soil and plant life are excavated and shipped to the Savannah River plant in South Carolina for burial.

Event 25925 (1D7DC3B1)

Date: 1/18/1966
Locations: China Lake Naval Ordnance Test Station; Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake; western Mojave Desert, California
Description: 4:55 p.m. Two surveyors are taking readings at China Lake Naval Ordnance Test Station [now Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake] in the western Mojave Desert, California. The surveyor using a theodolite hears a hum, looks up, and sees a UFO flying nearly straight at him from an angle of 35°–40° and from almost exact north. It passes directly overhead at less than 150 feet, then dives smoothly, turns to the east, then comes to within 10 feet of the sloping ground. The surveyor observes the object through the theodolite until it is lost in front of a lava flow about 2 miles away. Both observers (the other one is in a truck) say it is moving at 150 mph and it is a dull black color and very quiet. They attempt to report the sighting, but the radio is garbled. Their truck has difficulty starting, and the theodolite exhibits an odd change in the gravity reference indicator, requiring it to be re-leveled.

Date: 1/18/1966
Description: Two surveyors were working near the China Lake Naval Ordnance Depot in Kern County, California at 4:55 p.m. when a black, humming UFO came straight at them. It passed directly overhead at an estimated 150 feet. It trailed a "wake" behind it like a jet dumping fuel. They noticed that the object had some kind of field effect on their theodolite, moving its setting west by 5 level gradations.

It passes overhead less than 150 feet, dives smoothly, turns east and comes within 10 feet of the ground before flying over the horizon. The surveyors say it is traveling at 150mph, dull black, quiet and its presence interfered with their radio. They also have a theodolite and notice the gravity reference indicator exhibits an “odd” change.

Event 25929 (3A3D1126)

Date: 1/19/1966
Location: AUSTRALIA, Tully (Queensland)
Description: (Translated from French) At 9 o'clock in the morning, farmer George Pedley was returning to his farm driving his tractor. Suddenly he heard a loud whistling that overpowered the noise of the engine, like the sound of air escaping from a punctured tire. While still driving he checked his tires: they were intact. He continued on his way without paying further attention to the noise. "Suddenly I saw a large machine, of metallic appearance, rise from the marshland, at great speed, about 25 m from me. It was a bluish-gray color, 8 to 10 m wide and almost 3 m high. It seemed to me that it was spinning on its axis at an extremely high speed. It rose from the ground to about twenty meters, then it made a slight downward movement before quickly rising to the sky, where it disappeared in a few seconds at a fantastic speed. I saw no windows or antennas. Neither in the machine nor outside, I noticed any sign of life. (...) "

Description: (Translated from French) At Tully (Australia), George Pedlez, who owns a banana plantation, was driving his tractor near a marsh called Horseshoe Lagoon when he suddenly heard a very loud, high-pitched whistle: It was as if air was escaping from a tire, he said. About 25 yards in front of him, he saw a machine taking off from the marsh. Blue-gray in color, it measured about 25 feet wide and 9 feet high. It circled and rose about 6 feet before taking off. All was finished in a few seconds, the craft departed at a terrifying speed, Pedley would declare. He later discovered the first "nest" with the reeds flattened in the direction of the clock hands. Other similar "saucer nests" were discovered nearby. See images/tully.jpg.

Event 25936 (5716C723)

Date: 1/19/1966
Location: Tully, Queensland, Australia
Description: Around 9:00 a.m. A banana grower, George Pedley, is driving a tractor about one half mile from a farmhouse at Tully, Queensland, Australia, owned by Albert Pennisi. Pedley’s attention is drawn by a hissing sound, clearly heard over the noise from the tractor’s engine. He looks about for the source of the noise and sees an unusual object about 75 feet away. It is some 30 feet in the air, rising vertically, and is shaped like “two saucers face to face.” It is light gray in color, dull, and non-reflective. He estimates its size as 25 feet long by 8–9 feet deep. The hissing diminishes as the object rises to a height of 60 feet, then departs, climbing at about an angle of 45°, extremely fast, to the southwest. The duration of his observation is only 5–6 seconds. The object appears to be always rotating. After its departure, Pedley finds a clearly defined, nearly circular depression in swamp grass, in a water-filled lagoon, at the point where he first saw it. The marking is about 32 feet long by 25 feet wide. The grass on the surface of the water is flattened in a clockwise direction. Royal Australian Air Force intelligence officers find a variety of circles in the area, ranging from 8 to 30 feet in diameter. Within each circle the plant roots are pulled completely out of the soil, as if the ground has been subjected to an intense rotary force.

Event 25952 (5FA81866)

Date: 1/30/1966
Description: (Translated from French) A reader of the Sydney Sun Herald suggests that the "nests" discovered in Queensland (Australia) a few days earlier are caused by a large, shy bird with a blue body and red spots on its head, a type of crane or blue heron. Many times when he was barefoot in the bushes, he said he had seen the birds dancing but they flew away quickly before he could reach them. They looked like a blue, vaporous cloud that, for sure, made a shrill noise when flying away. The ornithologist of the Australian Museum, H. J. Disney, states that cranes cannot make circular depressions of a geometric design. Likewise, he is skeptical of the theory of the bald coot put forward by another man, Ken Adams, from Gooloogong. I have never heard of this appearance in the bird, Disney declares. (January 30)

Event 25963 (549BF6FC)

Date: 2/3/1966
Location: Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio
Description: A six-member Ad Hoc Committee to Review Project Blue Book, headed by University of Rochester optical physicist Brian O’Brien, meets at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. All but one (astronomer Carl Sagan) are members of the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board (psychologist Launor F. Carter, industrial psychologist Jesse Orlansky, rocket scientist Richard W. Porter, computer engineer Willis Ware), and none have any sympathy with the idea that UFO reports represent anything extraordinary. Also attending is Lt. Col. Harold A. Steiner, assistant secretary to the Scientific Advisory Board. They receive a briefing from Quintanilla, review the Robertson Panel report, and examine a few UFO cases. The group recommends that Blue Book “be strengthened to provide opportunity for scientific investigation of selected sightings in more detail and depth than has been possible to date.” Furthermore, USAF should negotiate contracts “with a few selected universities to provide scientific teams to investigate promptly and in depth certain selected sightings of UFOs…. The universities should be chosen to provide good geographical distribution.” They also conclude that “perhaps 100 sightings a year might be subjected to this close study, and that possibly an average of 10 man-days might be required per sighting so studied. The information provided by such a program might bring to light new facts of scientific value.” The group recommends that Blue Book data be given “wide unsolicited circulation among prominent members of the Congress and other public persons.” The Air Force ignores their recommendations.

Description: (Translated from French) 5:45 a.m. Witnesses: Mr. and Mrs. K.R. Gulley (two witnesses). A yellow luminous object at 500 meters altitude turning red when descending. Interference with the lights in the house and a high frequency noise that hurt the witnesses' ears. Duration: 5-10 minutes. (Project Blue Book - cfr Don Berliner). RR1. 06 h 05 - 3 witnesses - duration: 5 minutes. "Looking out the window I realized that a red glow was illuminating the whole neighborhood. (...) I called my wife telling her to come and see, that something must have happened nearby. And then suddenly I realized that the light was coming from above. Looking up I could make out the outline of an object passing over my roof, at an altitude between 75 and 150 meters. The red glow was coming from underneath the object, towards the center. It looked like a stream of light coming out of an opening. My neighbor's green truck looked brown. An airplane took off from the aerodrome and passed over the object. All the lights went out until the plane had passed. Then after blinking rapidly three or four times, it changed its westward course for a south-west route and entered the clouds." (February 6, 1966)

Description: 6:05 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth R. Gulley see a tadpole-shaped object about 14 feet long and 2 feet wide with eight yellow-and-red, neon-like lights at 250–500 feet altitude in Nederland, Texas. It casts a pulsating red glow on the lawn. Her house and street lights go out as high-frequency sound assaults the witnesses’ ears. The object blinks out when aircraft pass overhead, then comes on again afterward. It departed to the west about 1.5 miles to the vicinity of the airport, where an aircraft’s landing lights light up the UFO. Then it disappears in a slow climb.

Event 25976 (C512319E)

Date: 2/6/1966
Locations: Aluche, Madrid, Spain; Spain
Description: Around 8:00 p.m. Several persons in the barrio of Aluche, Madrid, Spain, allegedly see an unusual flying object. Looking out a window, Maria Ruiz Torres watches an object descending. She sees a “gigantic eye” looking at her through a porthole. Another witness, Juan Jiminez Dias, thinks he sees a door open in the craft. Other observers include soldiers at a nearby ammunition dump. Motorist José Luis Jordán Peña gets a close, extended view of the object, which he characterizes as “enormous.” Jordán Peña sends Spanish ufologist Antonio Ribera a sketch of the UFO, which has three legs and a curious symbol on its underside—something like two reverse parentheses with a vertical bar positioned between them. No other witness mentions anything like this. In 1992, Jordán Peña confesses to hoaxing his sighting, including the landing marks and physical traces, in order to prove his theory that paranoia is much more widespread in Spain that psychiatrists are willing to admit.

Event 26022 (27D0442E)

Date: 3/1966
Locations: Toledo, Oregon; Reeves home
Description: Kathleen Reeves and a friend are walking on a rural road near their homes in Toledo, Oregon, when they think they see a neighbor’s field on fire. The fire seems oddly dome-shaped. They continue walking and see another smaller, duller light. Kathleen thinks it might be a prank, so she throws a rock at it. Suddenly, a group of much larger lights come on all around the small one. Frightened, the girls run home. Over the next few months, through October, the Reeves home experiences such poltergeist phenomena as whirring or sawing noises, rose-colored lights inside, small rings of light that crawl over the bedroom walls, and light beams.

Event 26082 (3EAC089C)

Date: 3/18/1966
Location: ARGENTINA, near Deseade, south of the San Jorge Gulf
Description: (Translated from French) At 4:00 PM, on a deserted beach about fifteen kilometers north of Deseade (south of the San Jorge Gulf), Carlos Corosan, a thirty-five year old farmer, saw a large wingless cigar-shaped craft. He said it was less than thirty-five meters away and estimated its length to be about twenty meters; it had a metallic look and reflected the rays of the setting sun. Its color was gray-black and its surface, apparently smooth, without visible markings or windows or any kind of external organs. However, gray smoke was coming out of the tail.

Corosan said that "it was rocking quietly" with a sound like an automobile having engine trouble. And then "the mysterious craft stopped and emitted a brief, muffled jet of smoke (sic), after which the smoke became "very dark black". Corosan, having judged that it was not a normal craft, ran to take cover. At that moment, the object was hovering about a dozen meters above the water; it kept this position for a few minutes. Then it began to buzz and "vibrate all over as if it was going to explode". The buzzing was followed by another brief explosion, and the craft began to rise slowly, heading northeast, with the same rocking movements. Corosan was about to leave his shelter, intending to report the thing to the authorities, but he heard a much louder explosion, followed by a decrease in the buzzing. He turned around and just had time to see the object "crash" into the sea. "It didn't float at all. It just hit the water with a huge splash and went down very quickly."

Locations: Dexter Township, Michigan; Quigley Road
Description: 7:30 p.m. After his dogs start making a racket, Frank Mannor and his 26-year-old son Ronald see strange lights over a swampy area in Dexter Township, Michigan. They walk over to the area for a look, taking about 30 minutes, and see a pyramid-shaped object with a rounded top, corrugated surface, and blue, red, and white lights. Mannor’s son-in-law Bob Wagner, back at the house, sees the object light up and rise to 500 feet, then come down again making some noise. Washtenaw County sheriff’s deputies David Fitzpatrick and Stanley McFadden arrive about 9:00 p.m. drive towards the swamp on Quigley Road. They see a brilliant light that dims and then reappears. By this time a crowd has gathered. One man reports that when two flashlights appear in the distance, the object seems to react by flying away at high speed. At another point the object passes directly over the Mannors with a whistling sound like a rifle bullet ricocheting. It remains in the swampy area for 30 minutes.

Description: 10:32 p.m. Cynthia “Pinky” Poffenberger and 16 other Hillsdale (Michigan) College students see a football- shaped object with red, green, and white pulsating lights descend from the sky and pass close to their dorm. It settles in a hollow in the Slayton Arboretum about 1,500 feet away. Some 87 students collect to watch the UFO, then they notify Civil Defense Director William Van Horn, who arrives with police. From the dormitory, the landed lights appear yellowish-white, dimming and intensifying. Only student Barbara Kohn stays most of the night, watching the lights vanish, reappear, and recede. Around 5:10 a.m., Kohn sees a lighted object move away and disappear from sight. Radiation is later detected at the landing area of about 330–600 microroentgens/hr, roughly 10–20 times the background level.

Sat on highway, a man dressed in military work clothes entered, and it rose after about 40 seconds. (Project Blue Book - cfr Don Berliner). Laxson, an instructor at the US Air Force, was driving towards Sheppard at 5 o'clock in the morning. He found the road blocked by a large object the size of a Douglas C. 124 Globemaster, without wings or engines, which was resting on cushions. A man in a jumpsuit and wearing a baseball cap was examining something under the sides of the aircraft. Laxson is convinced he met an old army mechanic.

Event 26137 (8CDAFA5F)

Date: 3/23/1966
Description: (Translated from French) At Temple (Oklahoma), an electronics instructor from Sheppard Air Force Base was driving to work on Route 65 and approaching the intersection with Highway 70: "At about 1500 meters from the intersection, I saw a very bright light about 1500 meters to my right and thought it was a truck in trouble on the highway. I turned West onto Highway 70. 400 meters further on, I changed my mind and thought it was a prefabricated house coming down the highway at an early hour. It was parked on the side of the road, I got to within a hundred meters, stopped, got out of the car and walked towards the object leaving my headlights on and my engine running. I took about 15 steps and then remembered I had a Kodak on the front seat and wanted to take a picture. I hesitated for a second and then saw the man dressed in military fatigues. I thought it was a sergeant... he had the insignia on his right arm and some kind of cap with the visor up. He weighed about 80 kg and was about 1.70 m tall. He was just a regular G.I. mechanic in civilian clothes... or a crew chief or something like that. He had a flashlight in his hand and was almost kneeling on his right knee, his left hand touching the bottom of the fuselage. The object looked like an aluminum airliner without wings or tail, and without seams along the fuselage. It rose vertically, about 1.50 m, then headed southeast, almost backwards, at about 1200 km/h judging by the barns it lit up as it flew along the valley. It was the size of a cargo plane but had no visible propulsion device. The witness was bombarded with questions by officers from the air base. A truck driver had observed the same object on the road.

Description: 5:05 a.m. As Sheppard AFB (near Wichita Falls, Texas) civilian instructor William E. “Eddie” Laxson is driving west on US Highway 70 eight miles south of Temple, Oklahoma, he finds the road blocked by a wingless aircraft, shaped like a fish, in the road. It is about 75 feet long, nearly 8 feet high, 12 feet wide, with a Plexiglas bubble on top, and bright lights forward and aft. Laxson stops his car about 300 feet away and walks to within 50 feet, noticing a designation on its side like “TLA138” or “TLA738” or “TL 4768.” He sees a “man” wearing a baseball cap or mechanic’s hat climbing up steps or a ladder on the object. Soon after it lifts off with a hissing or high-speed drilling sound and heads off southeast at about 700 mph. There are no landing traces. Laxson finds another witness, truck driver C. W. Anderson, parked a mile down the road. Laxson thinks it is some kind of military vehicle.

King says he can hear the elderberry bushes scraping as it approaches and hovers 50 feet away. Frightened, he takes his .22 magnum pistol and fires it four times at the UFO, which glows brightly and takes off at high speed, making a “zinging” sound like the recoil of a spring.

Event 26162 (51AC1E65)

Date: 3/23/1966
Description: At 11:45 p.m. John King, 22 years old, was driving his in Bangor, Maine when he saw some lights nearby. When they came closer he saw they were part of an elliptical UFO with a dome on top that was glowing yellow, blue, and white. It had a bluish light at one end and a white light at the other. The UFO then landed. As it moved closer through the underbrush, the witness leaned out of his car, which he had stopped for a better look, and fired his pistol at it when it was less than 100 feet away. King fired four shots at the 60-foot long ellipsoid object. He believes that one bullet hit the craft. His car lights immediately dimmed and the radio stopped playing at this point. The UFO stopped at a distance of 50 feet, and emitted a slight humming noise. After a few more moments, it glowed brighter and took off quickly, shooting straight upward.

Description: Quintanilla needs quick answers, so he schedules a press conference at Selfridge AFB [now Selfridge Air National Guard Base] near Mount Clemens, Michigan, for Hynek to make a statement. Hynek, disappointed with the quality of the sightings and suspecting a mundane explanation, announces: “It would seem to me that the association of the sightings with swamps, in these particular cases, is more than coincidence. No group of witnesses observed any craft coming to or going away from the swamps. The glow was localized there…. It appears to me that all the major conditions for the appearance of swamp lights were satisfied.” The swamp gas theory doesn’t go over very well with the witnesses, the media, or the public.

Description: 9:15 p.m. EST. A teenage boy saw two luminous oval objects about 8 feet in diameter descend and land, making a buzzing sound. The objects had a row of multicolored lights around the rims (body lights) "flickering like a computer." He approached for a closer look, and touched the nearest object, which felt hard and smooth like metal. No heat or cold was felt. The boy then touched an antenna-like projection at the end of one of the objects and received a shock. Frightened, he ran home. His parents confirmed a 3-inch burn mark on his hand and questioned him thoroughly before reporting the incident to authorities. His first-degree burn was treated at a hospital and healed normally.

Event 26246 (15D23AFB)

Date: 3/29/1966
Location: Hampton Falls, New Hampshire
Description: 4:15 p.m. A 10-year-old boy and his Dalmatian are walking familiar paths in a wood lot behind their home near Hampton Falls, New Hampshire. He notices something silver on a ridge and walks toward it. He sees an “L” shaped box, long side parallel to the ground, sitting on tripod legs. His dog runs ahead and sniffs the boxy structure, and then, appearing uninterested, the dog goes off into the woods. The boy stops about 24 feet away, not sure what he is seeing. The object makes intermittent sounds and movements in the following minutes. Then a blast of air from the object sends debris flying. A short high-pitched, then low-pitched, sound is heard as the object lifts off the ground about one foot, stops, swings in a clockwise motion, and settles back on the ground. Intermittent electric-like humming sounds are heard until the object again, with a blast of air stirring up debris and the same sounds as earlier, ascends vertically, this time to about 10 feet, where it pauses, moves horizontally, pauses and rotates clockwise again, then accelerates straight up. On the final ascent, the sound increases in pitch and loudness. The witness’s mother and sister who were at some distance from him also hear the sound. When the object moved horizontally, saplings directly under it swayed. Three elongated imprints are found in the form of a triangle. Reportedly plants do not grow in the area for the next 2 years.

These reports were accompanied by electromagnetic effects that interfered with automobile ignitions, lights, and radio and TV reception. At ten o'clock in the evening in Montauk, New York Mr. Field's 1965 Ford pickup truck experienced total engine failure when the driver came up to the top of a rise in the road and encountered a cigar-shaped object low over the sand dunes. After losing power Mr. Field allowed his car to roll backward away from the UFO. The engine restarted. The UFO took off, circled, and flew out over the ocean. At about the same time the police station in Oswego, New York received many calls over a two-hour period reporting UFOs.

Event 26293 (F9CF0529)

Date: 4/1966
Location: USA, Newport (Oregon)
Description: (Translated from French) (cf. Summer 1874) In 1966 there were no living witnesses of Muriel Trevenard's disappearance left. The almost forgotten affair had already become part of folklore. But in April 1966 strange phenomena occurred again in Newport. (...) That evening, in Newport, 16-year-old teenager Kathy Reeves and a friend were walking back to Kathy's home at Pioneer Mountain when they had the strange feeling of being followed. At one point they turned around and saw "like a flashlight covered with a cloth". "I thought someone was playing a joke on us. So I picked up a stone and threw it at the light. At that moment a lot of big lights lit up everywhere and with fear in our hearts we ran towards the house." What they saw next made them petrify in place. Three bizarre shapes were moving in the meadow, heading towards the multicolored lights below. Aliens? Kathy described them as "three little bits crossing the meadow. They had no head or arms, and their legs looked like tree roots." The trio seemed to be wearing multicolored clothes in "orange, blue, white, yellow and ". Screaming, the young girls ran towards the house at "v prime" speed. In the following days there were several "poltergeist" manifestations in the Reeves' house, and the harassed family finally left the house where there was no longer any way to live in peace.

Date: 4/2/1966
Location: AUSTRALIA, Balwyn (Victoria)
Description: (Translated from French) At 2:20 PM the witness was occupied in the garden when he suddenly perceived a strong illumination that made him look up to the sky. "It was as if a gigantic mirror was in my garden and was reflecting a blinding light: a shining object came towards me gliding. It must have had a diameter of 20 to 25 feet, and its altitude was probably around 120 feet. It looked like a big mushroom with its tail pointing towards the ground. It rotated around its vertical axis and thus took the position in which I photographed it. Again it started to rotate slowly but on its horizontal axis and its tail faced me. Suddenly, while it was almost stationary, it accelerated so strongly that it disappeared in a few seconds. Several seconds after it had disappeared a "bang" similar to that of an airplane passing the sound barrier was heard.

Event 26321 (10D0B973)

Date: 4/2/1966
Locations: Melbourne; Balwyn, Victoria; University of Arizona; Canada
Description: 2:02 p.m. James Kibel, a Melbourne businessman who is a member of the Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society, sees a shiny, hemispherical object above his garden in Balwyn, Victoria. It looks to be 20–25 feet in diameter and 120 feet in the air. “It seemed to float down towards me,” he says. “It resembled a big mushroom with a stalk pointing towards the earth.” He snaps a Polaroid photo, after which the object takes off and disappears to the north. However, when B. Roy Frieden, professor of optical sciences at the University of Arizona, examines the photo, he finds a jagged line of discontinuity running across the center of the image suggesting there are separate photos joined together and rephotographed. In 2017, Canadian researcher François Beaulieu reexamines the original and notices the reflection of the house below in the shiny object, and he finds that the discontinuity is actually caused by the Polaroid developing chemicals spreading unevenly across the photo.

Event 26338 (D920D5BE)

Date: 4/4/1966
Locations: Burkes Flat, Victoria, Australia; Wycheproof
Description: 7:50 p.m. Businessman Ron Sullivan is driving about 60 mph near Burkes Flat, Victoria, Australia. In the distance he sees a light near the road. Suddenly, the headlights of his vehicle bend to the right and light up a nearby fence. He brakes his car. In the middle of an adjacent field, he sees a column of light some 25 feet high and shaped like an inverted ice cream cone, 3 feet wide at the bottom and 10 feet wide at the top. It then rises to a height of 20 feet, after which the whole light complex disappears. There is no associated noise. Sullivan drives on to Wycheproof, where he checks his lights but finds nothing wrong. On the night of April 7, 19-year-old Gary Taylor is killed at the same spot when the car he is driving leaves the road and hits a tree. Police find a circular impression about 2–5 inches deep and 5 feet in diameter in the freshly plowed field.

Event 26339 (62123D90)

Date: 4/4/1966
Description: A famous UFO close encounter case involving the bending of a car's headlights occurred on this night in Bourke's Flat, Victoria, Australia on the road between Bendigo and Saint Arnaud. Mr. R. Sullivan, age 38, was driving home when he encountered a heavy mist and a shining white, oval-shaped UFO that appeared above him with a cone of light descending from beneath it. Rainbow colored rays of light ran down the sides of the cone. His car's headlight beams were bent toward the object "as if they were pieces of pipe." Mr. Sullivan overcompensated in his driving and nearly crashed, but was able to stop the car. He then saw brilliant lights flashing in a field, followed by the abrupt departure of the UFO. The car headlights were OK after the incident.

Location: USAF Office of Scientific Research
Description: The House Armed Services Committee conducts the first public hearing by the US Congress on the topic of UFOs. Air Force Secretary Harold Brown testifies that while USAF has done an excellent job on UFOs, perhaps there is room for “even stronger emphasis on the scientific aspects.” Hynek recommends that a “civilian panel of physical and social scientists … examine the UFO problem critically for the express purpose of determining whether a major problem exits.” Quintanilla is the only other witness. After Committee Chairman L. Mendel Rivers expresses some enthusiasm for the idea, Brown suddenly realizes that maybe he has found a way to get the Air Force out of UFO investigations. Shortly after the hearing, Brown tells the USAF Office of Scientific Research to accept the February 3 O’Brien recommendation to seek a university that will accept a contract to study the 600 officially unidentified UFO sightings.

Event 26370 (33EEC9B8)

Date: 4/5/1966
Description: USAF Maj. Hector Quintanilla tells the House Armed Services Committee that Project Blue Book had “no radar cases which are unexplained.”

Declassified records show this is a lie, as the Project was cataloging at least one radar “unknown” per month in its first year alone. Blue Book scientific advisor J. Allen Hynek later corroborated this, providing several radar unidentifieds such as 1951 Goose Bay, 1956 Lakenheath and 1957 Shreveport.

Hynek also noted Quintanilla’s deception in a book written six years later.

Event 26374 (6C2B7806)

Date: 4/6/1966
Locations: Clayton South, Victoria, Australia; Westall High School; Westall Secondary College; The Grange; Westall State School
Description: Around 11:00 a.m. A class of students and a teacher from Westall High School [now Westall Secondary College] in Clayton South, Victoria, Australia, are just completing a sport activity on the main oval when they see an object, described as a gray saucer-shaped craft with a slight purple hue and about twice the size of a family car. Witness descriptions are mixed: Andrew Greenwood, a science teacher, tells The Dandenong Journal at the time that he saw a silvery-green disc. According to witnesses, the object is descending and then crosses and flies over the high school’s southwest corner, going in a southeasterly direction before disappearing from sight as it descends behind a stand of trees and into a paddock at The Grange in front of the Westall State School (primary students). After about 20 minutes, the object—with witnesses now numbering over 200—then climbs at speed and departs towards the northwest. As the object gains altitude, some accounts describe it as being pursued from the scene by five unidentified aircraft that circle it. Some describe one disc, others claim to see three. The Victorian Flying Saucer Research Society arrives on the site on April 8, speaks to students, and views the ground marking, originally described as a large patch of yellow, flattened grass with a swirly pattern.

Event 26376 (79FFD7E1)

Date: 4/6/1966
Description: At eleven o'clock in the morning in Clayton, Victoria, Australia numerous independent witnesses including dozens of schoolchildren and teachers from Westall High School watched a metallic disc-shaped UFO land in a nearby field, then take off again, while several Cessna-type aircraft and other silvery "plane-like" objects circled the area. Some of the witnesses found a perfect circle of flattened grass on the ground, while others encountered military or government personnel in the area who warned them to stay away. Some witnesses said they saw a cow in the paddock where the object came down. The animal was reportedly to have been in such a distressed state that it eventually had to be put down. One student who arrived before the others was found in a dazed, trance-like state. Other schoolchildren saw the UFO on the ground and a normal looking man in white coveralls walking around it, telling everyone to stay back. Another man appeared, this one wearing a dark uniform with an emblem on it. One of the men was seen entering the object, while the other vanished. The object emitted a loud humming sound and then took off.

Date: 4/7/1966
Description: At 9:30 p.m. in Daniels Park near Denver, Colorado six 17-year-old young men and women were in a shelter in the park when they heard footsteps on the roof. Two boys went out to investigate and heard a buzzing noise that seemed to surround them. In the field they saw two red lights each about a foot in diameter. Meanwhile those left behind in the shelter witnessed a very tall man dressed in black standing outside. They left and started back to their car. When the buzzing started again they saw two blue lights low in the sky, which were joined by a very bright white light. Watching from the car, they continued to hear the sound, and saw "four things like footballs with domes on them." They drove away---with difficulty, for the engine kept stalling---and were followed by a "huge light" which did not reflect in the rearview mirror.

It zooms toward them in a flash, passes overhead from west to east, turns, makes a second pass from east to west, turns again, and makes a third pass. It makes a low humming sound when it passes about 15 feet above them. The boys run to the Holy Ghost Seminary nearby and hide under a nearby bridge abutment as the object continues to maneuver. When it hovers, it does so edge down and makes a fluttering motion. The disc looks metallic, 8 feet in diameter, has a black spot on top near its rim, and a red light on top of an antenna-like protrusion. Red and white lights appear to rotate counterclockwise. Nearly 2 hours later, the object takes off in a burst of speed.

Description: Ravenna, OH, to Conway, Penn.: Deputy Sheriffs Dale Spaur and Wilbur Neff of Portage Countywere on patrol when an UFO stopped above them, illuminating them and the surroundings (it was just about dawn). As the UFO moved away from them at about 300–500 ft. above the road, it would alternately start and stop ahead of them playing cat and mouse. At E. Palestine, OH, officer Wayne Huston joined in the pursuit. At speeds of 100 mph in unfamiliar territory, they were soon low on gas and had to give up the game with the UFO. Through local police dispatch the officers alerted the Air Force, who sent out fighter planes to investigate the UFO. As the officers saw the AF planes approaching the UFO shot straight up and out of sight.

Event 26423 (6BE930FA)

Date: 4/17/1966
Location: USA, Portage County (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) RR1 - 05:05 - 4 witnesses - duration: 1 hour 35 Deputy Sheriff Dale F. Spaur, (...) they are informed by radio that a resident of Summit County reports an object brightly lit as big as a house, flying over the neighborhood at too low an altitude. Jokes fly. (...) Spaur tells: "Neff gets out on the right side and I get out on the left side. (...) When my eyes fell on the wooded area behind us, I saw this thing. At that moment it was rising. It climbed up to the top of the trees, about thirty meters. It passed over the trees and I didn't take my eyes off it. It was so low that you could only see it if it came to us. I looked at Neff, he was watching the car in front of ours. The whole corner was beginning to light up and I told him to look over his shoulder. That's what he did. He didn't say anything, he just stayed for a minute with his mouth open and he must have lowered his eyes because the brightness was too strong. (...) The only thing, the only sound we heard was a rumble, neither loud nor piercing, resembling the sound of a transformer in charge. For two minutes I was scared and I stayed petrified and then I moved my right foot and everything seemed in order. We rushed together to the car, got in and didn't move anymore. (...) I took the microphone and I just said to Bob who was on the line: "This bright object, the one everyone says is circulating around here, well, it's there". And he answered me "Bring it down". It must be said that this thing was not a toy; Good Lord, it was as big as a house and so bright that it made your eyes water. They were asked to take the sighting in pursuit: what they did over 110 km, sometimes exceeding 170 km/h. (...) and that's how there were 2 other witnesses, including Frank Panzanella of the Conway police. (...) (J. Allen HYNEK: "UFOs, Myth or Reality?" - Belfond 1974 - pp. 125-133, 276) The Associated Press agency reported that pilots from the Air Force stationed in Youngstown (Ohio) tried to give chase to the object, but could not do so because the speed of the UFO was much too slow compared to that of their jets. Some police officers reportedly heard these pilots talking to each other on the radio during the pursuit. Gerald Buchert, chief of the police of Mantua (Ohio) learning that the object was approaching, went out with his camera. He saw it (or a similar one) and took a snapshot.

Event 26438 (B7F5ED8E)

Date: 4/17/1966
Locations: Portage County; Randolph, Ohio; Mahoning County; East Palestine, Ohio; Salem, Ohio; Youngstown, Ohio; Conway, Pennsylvania; Rochester, Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh; Greater Pittsburgh International Airport
Description: 5:00 a.m. Portage County Deputy Sheriff Dale F. Spaur and Deputy Wilbur Neff are 4 miles east of Randolph, Ohio, when they see a moving light through some trees at the top of a small hill along the road. The light is headed in their direction. They have heard of a UFO reported over police radio that night and figure this must be what was seen. The object hovers 50–100 feet in the air, bathing the two officers in a bright light. Spaur’s eyes water up. They rush to the cruiser and radio the station; the dispatcher says to wait there until a car with a camera arrives. The object makes some sharp maneuvers, and Spaur drives toward it cautiously. The UFO is 18–24 feet thick and about 35–45 feet in diameter. The object is so bright he hardly needs his headlights to drive. It speeds up whenever Spaur accelerates, and soon he is driving at 80 mph. As the UFO reaches Mahoning County, the pursuit is being broadcast over police radios in three counties. As they reach East Palestine, Ohio, Patrolman H. Wayne Huston sees the UFO and follows Spaur and Neff, at times reaching 100 mph. Just before 5:30 a.m., two police officers in Salem, Ohio, see the UFO as a “bright ball” much larger than a jet. They also see three jets following it, apparently Air Force Reserve planes from Youngstown, Ohio. Police officer Frank Panzarella in Conway, Pennsylvania, sees the UFO, very bright and in the “shape of a half of a football.” He hears on his radio that a jet interception is in progress. Now in Pennsylvania, Spaur and Neff are given orders to abandon the chase. For most of the event, the object has remained at 1,000 feet, but now it rises to 3,500 feet and hovers. Then it shoots even higher and disappears. In 30 minutes, many police and civilians have seen the UFO. Panzarella alerts the Rochester, Pennsylvania, police operator, John Beighey, and asks him to contact the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. Beighey calls Panzarella and says the Air Force wants to talk to the police witnesses. Spaur, Neff, and Huston go to the Rochester, Pennsylvania, police station and Spaur phones the USAF station at Pittsburgh. Spaur speaks to some colonel who tries to convince him he has seen something conventional. NICAP’s William B. Weitzel, a philosophy professor, begins his own investigation, tracking down witnesses. Within a few weeks, he or his NICAP associates have interviewed all the police officers, as well as several others who have figured in the UFO chase, either as dispatchers or as those who overheard the radio communications. NICAP members also interview some civilians who claim to have seen a UFO at the same time of the chase and/or had monitored police scanners.

Event 26439 (E6831FC8)

Date: 4/17/1966
Description: Beginning at around 5:00 a.m., Portage County Deputy Sheriffs Dale Spaur and Wilbur Neff and two other officers chased a 40-foot diameter glowing disc or football shaped object from Ravenna, Ohio to Atwater, Pennsylvania in the pre-dawn hours of this morning. It rose up out of the woods and stopped overhead. The UFO played cat-and-mouse with them in the pursuit: approaching, waiting for them to catch up, then moving away. It beamed an intense light onto the road. They chased it for 90 minutes. It was last seen shooting straight up into the sky and out of sight. At about the same time and in roughly the same vicinity, a man named George Buchert took a photograph of a double-saucer shaped object in Mantua, Ohio. Dale Spaur's psychological condition and professional career deteriorated in the months following his close encounter. This famous case was the basis for the dramatic UFO chase in Steven Spielberg's movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Event 26440 (24E2DD65)

Date: 4/17/1966
Description: At 7:15 p.m. in Danvers, Massachusetts three witnesses watched an elongated oval-shaped object with rotating white lights. It was estimated to be the same size as a passenger train car. It circled slowly in the sky before entering a localized cloud. At 7:30 p.m. in nearby Peabody, Massachusetts four witnesses reported seeing a bright red glowing object flying in circular and zigzag patterns. It suddenly darted away at an incredible speed, faster than any aircraft. In Wakefield, Massachusetts at 8:30 p.m. a multicolored disc-shaped object shot off beams of white, then blue, and finally red light. It moved rapidly up-and-down and made a humming sound. It descended to just 50 feet above Lake Quanapowitt.

Event 26451 (715B878A)

Date: 4/18/1966
Location: Portage County, Ohio
Description: The Air Force begins a cursory investigation into the Portage County, Ohio, police chase case. Initially they telephone local news outlets, seeking information. However, local newspapers and radio have only vague outlines of the case. Air Force investigators also interviewed meteorologists and weather agency personnel, hoping to learn that a weather balloon was launched in the area during the UFO chase. They learn that there were no weather balloons launched that morning, and also that the wind had been so mild that the police would have had no difficulty catching up with any wind-borne object. Quintanilla calls Spaur to ask him about “this mirage you saw.” Spaur insists he has seen a clearly defined metallic object maneuvering at very low altitudes. When Quintanilla asks if they watched the object for more than a few minutes, Spaur asserts that he and Neff chased it for over half an hour, and that Huston saw the object for much of that period, and that Panzanella too had seen it. Quintanilla then, as Spaur said, “kind of lost interest.”

Description: On this evening there were four good UFO reports made in the northeastern United States in Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio. At 7:15 p.m. an elongated oval-shaped UFO with reddish green flashing lights on each end hovered over Peabody, Massachusetts, zipped around, and maneuvered to the horizon and back three times. The perimeter of the object glowed blue. A dense light was seen hovering only three feet above a roadway in Albany, New York. A blinding bright object with intense red lights landed on a road in Lancaster, Ohio and then flew off through a corn field. The witness, Mr. P. Friend, had sore and bloodshot eyes after his sighting from looking at the object. At 9:45 p.m. a UFO responded to a searchlight directed at it in Cohasset, Massachusetts by zigzagging, turning off its lights, and shooting straight up into the sky.

Above my head I could see nothing else, in the blur of the atmosphere, than lights emitting very bright signals at intervals. (...) If the object had not come closer I would not have run away, but I thought it was going to crash on me." Another witness said: "I started to run. (...) I looked up and I was frozen in place. I saw a large round object just at the level of the rooftops. It was solid. I didn't hear any noise but I thought this thing was going to fall on me. It was like a giant mushroom. I was fascinated, stunned, unable to think and I found myself running to escape it." One of the police officers dispatched to the scene was to add: "There were three lights: red, green and white. This object hovered above the school and seemed to almost stop. The lights shone in flashes. The object flew over the school twice, then moved away." (J. Allen HYNEK: "UFOs, Myth or Reality?" - Belfond 1974 - p. 118, 119, 276) Several people observe around 21 hours three luminous objects circling in the sky. A woman having made hand signals, one of the UFOs approaches at short distance. The witnesses then call the police and two officers take advantage of the show. The television was scrambled during the observation.

If the object hadn't come closer, I wouldn't have run away, but I thought it was going to crash on me. Another witness ran away: I started to run. Then a friend shouted 'Look, it's right above us!' --- I looked up, and I was frozen in place. It was exactly like the bottom of a plate. It was solid... I didn't hear any noise, but I thought this thing was going to fall on me (...). I was fascinated, stunned, unable to think, and I found myself running to escape it. (9 PM)

They were near the golf course traveling north, about five miles west of the town, when the object silently moved towards them, revealing itself to be a large disc with a dome on top. It was dark with a white light on top, 45 feet in diameter, and with a row of rotating red lights. It came closer and hovered only 40 feet away. Frightened, they drove off at high speed and it pursued them. After two minutes it broke off and went behind some trees.

Event 26500 (1A4C7CE4)

Date: 4/22/1966
Description: At 2:00 a.m. Dr. Eula Page, a psychologist, was driving home from Texas with her two children and a friend when she noticed a luminous object as big as the moon darting back-and-forth across the highway. She had just crossed the Red River bridge into Oklahoma near Thackerville when she noticed she had driven directly underneath it so she stopped the car. It descended and hovered close to the car. The UFO was luminous and lens-shaped, more than twice the length of her station wagon. It was surrounded by a spherical framework that was revolving around it. On one side of the disc was a long window through which four human-looking occupants could clearly be seen. They had slanted, "Oriental" shaped eyes and were wearing tight fitting, silverly gray uniforms. Her daughter said that one was a woman. Standing outside the car, Dr. Page watched the UFO for about 20 minutes. A "force field" around the craft made it difficult for her to breathe, and a hot wind blew from the sphere that smelt "electrical." Finally another car approached, and the UFO quickly moved away toward the river.They felt a hot wind from the UFO as well.

Event 26514 (1F47BB35)

Date: 4/23/1966
Locations: Dorchester, Massachusetts; Kalnicki apartment; Boston
Description: 10:45 p.m. On hearing a listener call in a live UFO sighting on WMEX radio, Jeanne Kalnicki of Dorchester, Massachusetts, goes to the window with her two daughters and sees an oval, domed UFO with a ring of blinking red lights bobbing up and down above a building across the street. A yellow light is on top of the dome and alternately flashes on when the red lights blink off. It moves across the street and appears to be moving directly toward them at eye level. Humming, the object moves between their apartment building and the one next door, where it hovers for a few minutes. When the yellow light goes off, Kalnicki can see a glow within the dome. The object then moves erratically away to the east. The family goes to bed, but at 5:00 a.m., 11-year-old Judy Kalnicki is too upset to sleep, She wakes up when she sees a light coming in her window and realizes that the UFO is right outside, bobbing up and down, looking about the size of their 1955 Lincoln automobile, and flashing its lights as before. Thinking it is going to come inside her bedroom, Judy screams. Seemingly in response, the object speeds up its bobbing motion, and she hears a heavy thudding sound. The windows rattle, Judy’s bed rocks, and all the lights in the house go off. Downstairs, their German shepherd is whining and scratching at the door. The entire family rushes to the back porch, where they watch the object for about 12 minutes moving to the north toward Boston. The lights come back on. NICAP’s investigation shows that the power failure affected 2,500 homes in the area and was caused by two cables burning out a block away from the Kalnicki apartment. One particle on the window sill registered a strong radiation reading of .025 millimentgens per hour from a Geiger counter.

An explosive sound was heard, the windows rattled and furniture shook, and the lights went out. The family German shepherd doa whined and scratched at the door (animal reaction). The start of a power failure, which affected about 2,500 homes in the area, was officially timed at 4:57 a.m. It was later attributed to a breakdown in the insulation of the wiring at a point very near the apartment building. Later that evening investigators detected some abnormal radiation on the window sill where the object had been seen. (Keyhoe & Lore, 1969b, pp. 45-47; Walter N. Webb investigation report; U.F.O. Investigator, Vol. Ill, No. 8, May-June 1966, pp. 7-8; Fowler 1974, p. 340.) (NICAP: 03 - EME Cases) (NICAP: 04 - Animal Reactions)

Event 26528 (2506E0B1)

Date: 4/24/1966
Locations: State Highway 34B; Fleming, New York
Description: Night. Marvin and Viola Swartwood are driving in a rainstorm on State Highway 34B near Fleming, New York, when a “brilliant, flashing ball of fire” appears three feet above the front and slightly to the right of their car. The fire ball lights up the surrounding area, falls onto the car with a loud snap, and vanishes. As the ball lightning hits, Viola feels a shock in her neck and an impulse in her right arm. They drive to the sheriff’s office and then to a local hospital because the right side of Viola’s body is partially paralyzed. She is in satisfactory condition 5 days later. There is no damage to the car or any reports of normal lightning in the area.

Event 26532 (B9731882)

Date: 4/25/1966
Description: (Translated from French) William Haydon Burns, Governor of Florida campaigning for re-election, departs from Orlando for Tallahassee (state capital). On board the Convair, co-pilot Herb Bates spots two bright yellow globes side by side. At 6000 feet near Ocala (north Florida), Burns leaves the cockpit and announces: "We have a UFO next to us. I'm going to ask the pilot to head towards it." Frank Stockton, the Deputy Secretary, Captain Nathan Sharron of the State Highway Patrol, and all the journalists on board can then see the phenomenon to starboard. Some will describe two bright crescent-shaped lights, with a weaker section, like a column of light, between them. The yellow-orange lights vary in brightness, but remain very distinct. As the plane heads towards the UFO, it then quickly rises and disappears after accompanying the plane for 40 miles. Duane Bradford, director of the Capitol Bureau of the Tampa Tribune, will declare: "I began to think that these UFO stories weren't so funny after all." Bill Mansfield, director of the Miami Herald's central bureau, will declare: "There was something there. Something we all saw clearly. Something that still remains to be explained." The Governor (who had already seen a UFO according to a documentary broadcast on a Miami television in October of the previous year) confirmed the observation, but would not say any more. (April 25)

Description: When he learns that Rep. J. William Stanton (R-Ohio) has expressed an interest in the UFO chase, NICAP investigator William B. Weitzel writes him a detailed letter, outlining the inconsistencies and shortcomings of Quintanilla’s explanations. Portage County (Ohio) Judge Robert Eugene Cook (an acquaintance of Spaur and Neff) also writes to Stanton, defending the police officers’ judgment and characterizing the Air Force investigation as “grossly unfair” to Spaur and Neff. Stanton fails to get an answer from the Air Force, so he contacts USAF Chief of Community Relations Division Lt. Col. John Spalding, who promises to send an investigator. Stanton later writes to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara about Blue Book’s treatment of his constituents.

Description: (Translated from French) James Pfeiffer had 50 combat air missions during World War II. He received 5 Air Medals and 12 citations for bravery, so it can be inferred that he was not easily frightened: "There was no sound at all and it was as big as an airliner, but without any indication of a company... My body reacted as if I had brushed against danger. I was shaken all day. Photo taken with an Instamatic camera. (J. Allen HYNEK: "UFOs, Myth or Reality?" - Belfond 1974 - p. 30) During a stop at a small restaurant by the river, a strange object suddenly appeared in the sky. In the shape of a sphere, moving 500 m above the front of the house, its diameter was about 20 m before it moved away at a speed of 200 mph. It first emitted a shrill scream, becoming deeper and so powerful that all the restaurant staff rushed outside. Mr. Pfeiffer managed to take two shots.

Event 26599 (C06A827C)

Date: 5/10/1966
Description: (Translated from French) The famous American reporter Walter Cronkite does a report on the Michigan observations in CBS Reports, presenting the witnesses as not very credible. It shows Donald Menzel pouring benzene on an acetone-filled aquarium to demonstrate elementary facts of optics known since the 18th century. He tries to convince Americans that UFOs are only mirages. This is followed by an interview with a "lunatic" describing his encounters with the "space brothers". In contrast, an impressive interview with Carl Sagan, who forcefully argues with mathematical arguments the improbability of an extraterrestrial visit. The documentary then contains a discussion with a military officer who claims that UFOs are never detected by radar, and with an astronomer who states that UFOs are never seen or photographed by satellite observation stations.

Event 26604 (12C2CE48)

Date: 5/10/1966
Location: Smithsonian's archives
Description: The documentary “UFOs: Friend, Foe, or Fantasy?” appears on CBS Reports, hosted by Walter Cronkite and narrator Bill Stout. Guests include Carl Sagan, Donald Menzel, Harold Brown, Lawrence Tacker, Donald Keyhoe, and J. Allen Hynek. The tenor of the show is to debunk UFOs, although Cronkite says the CIA has been secretly tracking UFO sightings around the world, even as it denies doing so. Air Force Capt. Gary Reese claims that NORAD’s satellite-tracking radar covers altitudes from 100,000 feet to 2,000 miles up but never finds any UFOs. He neglects to mention that UFOs are found in the atmosphere below 100,000 feet. (Even so, NORAD has been detecting occasional Unidentified Satellites, USATs, for years.) Reese makes a broad statement that the Air Force has never substantiated a “flying saucer” despite NORAD’s covering “nearly every square foot of the US” on its radar. USAF Maj. Albert Morse of NORAD spacetrack network supports Reese. A handwritten letter by Robertson Panel member Thornton Page, discovered in the Smithsonian’s archives by Michael Swords, confirms the CIA’s long-suspected role in the CBS program. In the September 10, 1966, letter, Page relates to Frederick C. Durant that he “helped organize the CBS TV show around the Robertson Panel’s conclusions.” Quintanilla has spent 3 days editing and censoring the TV program’s script to make sure it conforms to USAF public relations policy.

Date: 5/16/1966
Description: At 12:30 p.m. a newspaper editor and officer manager in Temple City, California were called out to the parking lot to see an unusual object in the sky. A grayish-green object, changing shape from rectangular to roughly diamond-shaped, to a domed disc, was reflecting sunlight and apparently metallic. It was visible high in the northern sky. Hazy heat waves surrounded it. For 15 minutes the object moved around lazily, then it suddenly sped off to the northeast and disappeared. The editor compared the speed to that of a jet. At 1:10 p.m. a school principal saw children on the school's playground staring at a dark, disc-shaped object with a dome on top moving high overhead toward the east. At about the same time Charles Hardman was walking on Alessandra Street in Temple City when he noticed something that he first thought was a kite or balloon in the north-northwest sky moving slowly northeast. Through binoculars he saw that the object's surface was glossy, gray or black, yet light reflective. At times the top was obscured by hazelike smoke. Without the binoculars Hardman could see that this was due to different angles of vision as the object tumbled over in its path. It was shaped like a diamond with concave sides.

About 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Beverly Harding of Temple City, California was driving about a mile south of the center of town when she saw an aerial object paralleling the path of her car, but traveling a little faster than she was. It looked like "a big bowl of jelly, plastic-like and shiny..." The object was roundish, but irregularly shaped. Finally, at 3:25 p.m. Mrs. Janice Oyler of San Gabriel, California was driving through Temple City when she saw a "black and silver cone-shaped object" in the sky. She stopped her car to watch, and saw the object bobbing around and circling slowly in one small area of the sky for about three minutes.

He spots a bright-red circular disc with a dome on top as it is apparently following an outbound flight of Navy jets from NAS Willow Grove [now NAS Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove] at 4,500 feet. The object makes a sharp turn without banking and approaches his plane on a near-collision course, passing below the starboard wing about 300 feet away and disappearing to the rear. They both get a good look at the object, which has no wings or visible means of propulsion.

Description: 4:15 p.m. PDT. A woman driving in Temple City saw a strange object approach from the southwest, hover and bob around. She stopped and observed the object at relatively close range, at treetop level across a wide highway. "It was the shape of two geranium pots put together with the bands in the center," she said. Although the object was clearly outlined, there was a slight haze surrounding it. The color was bright green. Flashes of sunlight reflected off the surface, giving it a metallic sheen. On the body were what appeared to be a row of louvers and an antenna-like projection. After several minutes the object climbed to the northeast, observed as it moved away by employees of a nearby restaurant who were alerted by the witness. (Los Angeles NICAP Subcommittee report.)

Date: 6/1966
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) In June 1966, very sophisticated military telecommunications satellites were put into service in the "IDSCP" (Initial Defense Satellite Communication Program) series. Launched in groups of 3 to 8 units, four times, these satellites were placed in a geostationary orbit, i.e. above the equator at 36,000 km altitude. (...) This network was complete, with 26 satellites, two years later. (June 1966)

Event 26647 (C89BAB26)

Date: 6/1966
Location: USA
Description: (Translated from French) There is also the "Pageos" case in orbit since June 1966, this satellite was well known to sky watchers, as it was easily visible to the naked eye. It was a 30 meter diameter "Mylar" balloon orbiting at 4300 km altitude. Despite this great distance, it shone on the night sky, illuminated by the sun, with the brightness of the North Star. Its coating reflected 98% of the light received. At this altitude it took three hours to complete a lap around the Earth and it happened that one could follow it with the naked eye for more than half an hour, from one horizon to the other.

A night watchman who was about a hundred meters away rushed over but was struck by a beam that "surrounded him with flames" and produced a "singing sound". When the reporter of the facts arrived at the scene later, with several official investigators, they examined an oval burn mark left on the ground. (...)

Event 26656 (054AF2E0)

Date: 6/1/1966
Description: On or around this day two Ontario residents had a chance encounter with a disc-like UFO hovering close to the dark waters of Lake Ontario. The object, which had rows of lights flashing around its perimeter, took off rapidly as the witnesses approached it in a motor boat. The incident was reported to NICAP by Richard Plewman. Plewman, a former RCAF Flight Lieutenant and pilot instructor, was cruising with a friend, Jack Grant about 2-1/2 miles offshore of Clarkson at about 10:30 p.m. While proceeding in a NE direction, the men noticed some lights like headlights on the water ahead. They continued talking, and approaching the lights at a moderate speed, not suspecting anything unusual. When they got to an estimated distance of 3/4 to 1 mile, the lights slowly rose with a "swish," emitting a low "pulsating hum." Plewman and Grant could now see a disc with a bubble-type dome on top and a flat bottom, casting an oval reflection on the lake surface. A row of bright yellow lights encircled the dome, blue-green lights around the lower perimeter. After hovering briefly, the UFO took off at high speed disappearing "Like a light bulb turned out." Plewman said the perimeter lights clearly outlined the dark object, the colors changing from dull white to fluorescent tones as the UFO started to rise.

Event 26665 (09AC4A46)

Date: 6/3/1966
Description: Cape Canaveral, Florida - Three boys were playing behind their apartment about 7:30 p.m. when they saw a "rocket or jet" zip across the sky and disappear behind the building, apparently dropping into the water. They ran to the beach and saw, about 30 yards ahead, two men, talking, with their backs to them. The boys said the two men wore "glass helmets and gray suits with something that looked like scuba tanks on their backs." One of the youngsters was so surprised that he made a sound, startling the men. They scrambled quickly aboard a "round white thing" which sped to a strange floating device about 300 feet offshore. There were windows in the floating object, they said, and they could see people moving inside. On one side, there was a gray star with some type of identifying letters. The boys ran back at the same time the men raced for the object, and when they paused to look back, they were expecting the craft to take to the air. Instead, it submerged and vanished.

Event 26675 (24B962CF)

Date: 6/8/1966
Location: USA, BAF Edwards
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: 21.9.64) On June 8, 1966, the second (prototype) XB-70A took off. On board were North American test pilot Al White and Major Carl Cross as co-pilot, for its first flight of this type of aircraft. The aircraft was to be tested at varying altitudes and speeds, and it was to make a passage at Mach 1.4 at 9450 meters altitude above the base to collect information on the supersonic bang. There was another point to check, the Air Force at the request of General Electric was testing the engines of this company. These were GE J93. The tests were to be done with the participation of a Navy F-4B Phantom, a T-38A Talon and an Air Force YF-5A and a NASA F-104N Starfighter piloted by Joe Walker. A Lear Jet also participated for the photos (for publicity). The day before, John Fritz, test pilot of General Electric who would be on board the YF-5A, had asked to fly in free formation with an approximate wingspan between each aircraft. [Ref 9-7] The XB-70A took off from Edwards at 7:15, followed by the T-38A piloted by Pete Hoag and Joe Cotton. (...) At 7:59 White and Cross climbed in altitude, while Hoag and Cotton landed to refuel the T-38. White and Cross made their supersonic passage at 8:30 and were then heading for the rendezvous point, Lake Isabella. At 8:43 all the others had thus joined the large white triangular aircraft (XB 70 A) which was to fly in the lead. (...) The weather was cloudy and in flight the formation plans were changed (for the needs of the photos) and that was the accident: the F 104 N of Joe Walker was too close to the XB 70 A and its stabilizer touched the tip of the front wing before hitting it and getting its wing in that of the other aircraft. It was the crash of the F-104N and the XB-70A. (NASA website 1997 "on The Frontier") It was the jamming of the on-board instruments that cost the lives of two of the best American test pilots: Joe Walker and Carl Cross. The F 104 piloted by Walker came crashing against the giant delta-winged XB 70 bomber, powered by six engines, tearing off part of the rear ailerons. The two planes nosedived and crashed on the Edward base. Al White managed to get out of the burning debris and was taken to hospital in a serious condition. The collision took place when the F 104 was flying at 3000 km/h. [vog: so this incident has absolutely nothing to do with UFOs; there was no jamming, there was certainly human error.]

Hynek replies that if he did, the Air Force would just replace him and he would lose access to all the files. McDonald says Hynek should have spoken up in 1953 and cannot get Hynek to agree that he is even a little bit timid.

Description: X-15 pilot Joseph A. Walker is killed when his F-104 Starfighter chase aircraft collides with a North American XB-70 Valkyrie. At an altitude of about 25,000 feet, Walker’s Starfighter is one of five aircraft in a tight group formation for a General Electric publicity photo when his F-104 drifts into contact with the XB-70’s right wingtip. The F-104 flips over, and, rolling inverted, passes over the top of the XB-70, striking both its vertical stabilizers and its left wing in the process, and explodes, killing Walker. The Valkyrie enters an uncontrollable spin and crashes into the ground north of Barstow, California, killing copilot Carl S. Cross. Its pilot, Alvin S. White, ejects and is the sole survivor.

Description: (Translated from French) Around 9:30 PM the 76-year-old grandmother saw through the window three white lights the size of a human head. They were far away and getting closer. The son-in-law was called: after a few minutes he saw one at 15 m from the house. It went out, then others appeared in the distance, every 2 or 3 seconds one of these lights lit up somewhere, then went out. So he went out. At that moment there were 6 balls spinning on a field, 50 m apart from each other. They lined up and moved slowly. There was no noise. Then they approached a huge white "shell". The witness's son also saw it. This whole scene lasted a very long time. The shell had three branches on each side and at one point each branch had a ball. (see January 6, 1967: continuation).

Event 26699 (0D73CD38)

Date: 6/15/1966
Description: (Translated from French) In Aveyron (France), on a calm night, a 76 year old woman living in an isolated farmhouse observes spherical "flaming" objects: "I was at the window, just for a moment, because at my age you need to take the air wherever you are. But I had never seen lights like that, nor anything similar! It was not just lights, it was fires! The objects cross the fields. The old woman gets scared: All these fires, I'm too old, I don't want to see things like that. If things start moving like this, what are we all going to become? After that it moved again, in the corner of the vineyard, you remember , that's when I called you, that's when I was scared, but if it gets closer, it will go into the barn and everything will go up in smoke, the house and us with it. So I called him, I called him. The son-in-law, who ran the farm and had seen the same thing as the old woman, goes out to check on the spot: The objects were rounded on top and rather flattened underneath; they vanished on the spot as if they were controlled by a switch. At one point there were 6, less than 2 km away; they moved in line at the speed of a tractor, then merged into a large luminous object resembling a flaming tree, an illuminated shell. Everything disappeared. The witnesses returned, completely amazed. The whole phenomenon took place without a sound. Later she will go to bed dressed for fear of "what could happen". (June 15)

Event 26700 (29B70A79)

Date: 6/15/1966
Description: (Translated from French) At the USAF base in Nha Trang (South Vietnam), in addition to the usual base activities, 8 bulldozers are at work, soldiers are watching a movie outdoors, and 2 Douglas A-IE Skyraider attack planes are preparing to take off on the nearby runway. In the bay, a Shell tanker is at anchor. The sky to the north suddenly lights up. The initial reactions are that it is an enemy flare, but the light starts to move, approaching the base. As it gets close to the observers, it slows down and then stops, remaining stationary over the base at an altitude between 90 and 150 m, illuminating the entire valley. At this point, all the machines and power systems of the base stop working, as do those of the tanker in the bay and some Diesels. After remaining in this position for about 4 minutes, the UFO shoots up and disappears from sight in less than 3 seconds. After the object's departure, all the base's power returns as quickly and inexplicably as it had disappeared. (9:45 PM)

Event 26732 (691E218C)

Date: 6/19/1966
Location: Mount Mitchell State Park, North Carolina
Description: 12:05 a.m. A group of Boy Scouts camping out at Mount Mitchell State Park, North Carolina, sees three red pulsating lights in a triangular pattern approach, then hover until about 5:00 a.m. The lights blink at different speeds, with the center one turning white every fifth pulsation. At sunrise, the object lifts up, appearing red and bell-shaped through binoculars. Six smaller objects are hovering nearby on either side of the larger object, changing formation. The group then disappears behind a mountain. When the Scouts start to explore in the direction of the objects, about 60 feet from their camp they discover trees with broken branches and some crushed undergrowth, plus three holes in the ground forming an equilateral triangle.

Event 26735 (2830CD23)

Date: Summer 1966
Location: FRANCE, Alsace
Description: (Translated from French) (cfr 1950, Summer, Canada, Manitoba) While travelling with her parents, the young woman entered a forest in Alsace, in a game-rich area, hoping to spot a deer. It seemed to her that she had only been there a few minutes, but her parents had been looking for her for 3/4 of an hour. Her apron was stained with blood, yet she had no wounds or even scratches. (In 1980, under hypnosis, she revealed that she had been taken in a UFO, where flesh was removed from her calf and something was implanted in her nose - in Alsace this implant was later removed from her).

Event 26766 (255402FB)

Date: 6/27/1966
Description: Cistella, Spain - Three Spanish witnesses named Masso, Crous, and Arajil watched two clearly defined, hexagonal cylinders rise into the air, approximately 1,800 feet apart from each other. A disc-shaped UFO flew into view and positioned itself between the cylinders as if to link them. Dense smoke arose, drying the mouths and noses of the witnesses the whole day, and one witness felt a wave of heat. The strange, three-part structure was visible for several minutes before departing at blinding speed. Over an area some ten meters across in a potato field all the leaves were brittle and yellowish. A branch of a nearby pear tree was newly broken off, thrown some distance, and twisted around.

Event 26771 (6BF832BC)

Date: 6/30/1966
Location: Viet Cong
Description: Richard Helms becomes director of central intelligence. He is the first DCI since Dulles to push hard for results in the mind-control field. Operation MKSearch goes into overdrive. Old projects are resurrected, abandoned projects reactivated. The safe houses are told to expect a steady supply of Viet Cong expendables to experiment on. One of the projects to be revived is the less than successful Operation Mindbender. Renamed Operation Spellbinder, the assignment is to create a sleeper killer, a real-life Manchurian Candidate. A hypnotist is recruited from the American Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. He becomes known to the CIA staff as “Dr. Fingers” and is selected because his file states that he has no qualms about conducting potentially terminal experiments. The intended victim of the experiment is Fidel Castro. After attempts to program several would-be assassins, the operation is discontinued and written off as a complete failure.

Event 26815 (A17C3CE9)

Date: 7/21/1966
Description: The FBI tells multiple U.S. citizens UAP is not and “never has been a matter that is within [its] investigative jurisdiction.” This contradicts many now declassified files including a 1957 memorandum where SAC Kansas City writes the FBI Director about a film of a UAP taken by a U.S. citizen, suggesting it be retrieved, sent to HQ and coordinated with AFOSI. The FBI also admits in a 1952 memo that it did “conduct some investigations regarding flying saucers,” but reached an agreement with USAF to refer cases to them on 27 September 1947.

Note: A 4 February 1948 memo from USAF Capt. Richard W. Guess states USAF commanders are charged with evaluating incidents, but they’re to be passed to local FBI offices. FBI seems to have had an ongoing relationship with USAF where UAP data was passed between local offices and USAF. One example of this is on 15 May 1952 where FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover writes AFOSI about flying discs seen above an AEC facility in South Carolina.

Event 26816 (6D91BA0A)

Date: 7/22/1966
Description: (Translated from French) An American naval officer is driving at night with his son John. An object is flying above the car: "I lowered my head to look through the windshield, and I saw it all - it was right in front of me. I said to John: 'My God, it's a flying saucer.' It was almost like the science fiction movies on television... It stayed suspended there, absolutely silent, like a church bell tower lit up at night. Or it looked like those Japanese suicide planes that threw themselves at night into the beams of the searchlights - it reminded me of them. It turned around for about 100 m - absolutely as if it was disheartened. 2 other cars arrive and the mysterious machine will turn off exactly like a thermostat in a household appliance, leaving only a shadow. The UFO disappears in a bluish wake. (July 22)

Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Lacoste, a photographer from Saumur, and his wife were walking around Montsoreau (Maine-et-Loire). Suddenly, they saw a red sphere crossing the sky. The light emitted by the sphere was so intense that it lit up the whole countryside. It seemed to touch the ground and then rise again, hovering at mid-height for some time. Lacoste and his wife, now convinced that it was a military remote-controlled device, approached to a distance of about 300 m from the object, and it left and was lost from sight behind the woods. The observation lasted 4 minutes. A check will be made to see if any military experiments have taken place in that area: there were none. (July 28th, in the evening)

Description: The fourth and final launch of a D-21 drone from an M-21 ends in disaster 150 miles off the coast of California. Unlike the three previous launches, this one is performed straight and level, not in an outside loop to assist in the separation of the drone from the aircraft. The D-21 suffers engine problems and strikes the M-21’s tail after separation, leading to the destruction of both aircraft. The two crew members eject and land at sea. The pilot, Bill Park, survives, but the launch control officer, Ray Torrick, drowns. Johnson decides to refit the D-21 to launch from a B-52 bomber in order to not endanger any more M-21s.

When a police officer approached a hovering object that had pulsating red, green, and white lights, it began a series of maneuvers, descended almost to the ground, then sped away "like a shot." Before it sped away, the object emitted a strange multi-colored light beam that moved rapidly to the ground, also observed by another officer. Andrews AFB denied to a County police dispatcher that they had any unknown objects on radar, but the dispatcher said a control tower operator had acknowledged seeing a fast-moving lighted object, and he later learned that Andrews did have a UFO on its radar but would not admit it officially.

Event 26877 (4601447A)

Date: 8/1/1966
Location: Rushville, Indiana
Description: 7:45 p.m. Several children are playing outside in Rushville, Indiana, when they see an object hovering above a tree near them. Its altitude is about 75 feet. They describe it as round, brighter than the moon, silver, and about 4 times larger than the full moon. It has a fuzzy edge and rocks slightly as it hovers. One girl, Donna Glosser, calls it to the attention of others who are about a half-block away. When she does, the object changes to reddish- orange, seems to revolve, and moves across a road so fast it seems to jump. It stops abruptly over some trees on a hill about one block away. At least one adult watches the object for 5 minutes. The same object is apparently seen by a group of teens at the Dairy Delight Drive-In about a mile and a half away. It becomes brighter after 45 seconds and speeds away.

Date: 8/1/1966
Description: At 12:30 a.m. CDT Kathy Palmer, age 14, looked out the window of her home in Springfield, Missouri before going to bed and saw a luminous object bearing red and blue lights on the lawn. It was about six feet long, ovoid shaped, and four feet wide by four feet high, and it made a "rattling" sound. From a square hatch two 5-foot tall slender occupants emerged, who either had "large heads" or wore helmets. They walked about for three minutes, apparently communicating with each other, and examined some bicycles. Then they returned to the craft and it took off. The total duration of the encounter was about 30 minutes in all. At the landing site the grass was matted down, and there was a white substance which proved to be calcium phosphate.

Event 26885 (0825D63F)

Date: 8/6/1966
Description: (Translated from French) In a fairly isolated house in Texas, 3 young children (aged 6 to 9) noticed a dark object in the shape of an overturned bowl. Although it was afternoon, the children had not seen the object arrive. The object was dark, without color or light. Then a yellow glow appeared, as if a door was opening, and a small creature appeared in this square of light. The entity, 90 cm to 1.20 m tall, wore a black garment with yellow or golden reflections. The show lasted a few minutes, then the door closed. A low sound, like a buzzing, was heard, and the object left at an exceptional speed. The object never touched the ground: it hovered at a height of about 4.50 m, near a tree that was not damaged and which is about 10 m from the house. (August 6)

Location: University of Colorado Graduate School
Description: Robert J. Low, assistant dean in the University of Colorado Graduate School, is also interested in the UFO project. He consults with several scientists and reports on what they tell him in a memo to E. James Archer, dean of the graduate school, and Thurston E. Manning, university vice president. The memo, which is not sent to Condon and is intended to show university officials that the project will not embarrass them, says: “Our study would be conducted almost exclusively by nonbelievers who, although they couldn’t possibly prove a negative result, could and probably would add an impressive body of evidence that there is no reality to the observations. The trick would be, I think, to describe the project so that, to the public, it would appear a totally objective study but to the scientific community, would present the image of a group of nonbelievers trying their best to be objective but having an almost zero expectation of finding a saucer.” He recommends stressing the psychology and sociology of the witnesses rather than physical evidence. The memo stays under wraps for a year and a half.

Event 26898 (D917450B)

Date: 8/11/1966
Location: AUSTRALIA, Melbourne
Description: (Translated from French) Miss Marlene Travers, of Melbourne, reported having observed a large silver disc that landed near her. It is said that she was abducted and raped by an extraterrestrial wearing a metallic green tunic. Investigations revealed that this case was a journalistic hoax. (Keith Baskerfield - Australian Abductees, 1989) (note from vog: this Mrs. Marlene Travers passed away in 1996...) In her childhood Marlene Travers had already observed UFOs. In 1966 she was at a friend's house in the countryside. In the evening, out of cigarettes, she went out alone to get more from a store 600 m away. Her attention was drawn to a star in the sky that grew disproportionately. Soon she saw a 15m diameter and 3m thick disc land in a field not far from her. A door opened and a tall and beautiful being, in a metallic green tunic, came out of the craft. He looked at her and telepathically announced that she would have the honor of being the first Earth woman to have a child from an inhabitant of another planet. Frozen with fear, Marlene Travers felt compelled by an irresistible force to follow the creature inside the saucer where he raped her. Just before leaving the spaceship, the young woman stumbled upon a kind of electric button: a flash burn crossed her ankle and she fainted. When she came to, she was lying in the field. No more saucer. Limping, she returned to her friends' house and learned that she had been absent for seven hours. A doctor was called to treat the burn she did not have when she left the house. It would seem that she was indeed pregnant but this state was never followed by a birth.

Event 26900 (C2EACCBA)

Date: 8/11/1966
Description: An abduction and forced sexual encounter allegedly occurred near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on this evening. Marlene Travers, age 24, was visiting friends in the country and had taken a walk alone after dinner. She heard a sound like an airplane and saw a 50-foot diameter disc land in a field. A tall man dressed in a loose-fitting green tunic got out of the craft. She tried to run away but couldn't move. When he touched her she felt compelled to obey, and followed him aboard the craft past an instrumental panel into a "wildly furnished" room. She understood through telepathy that he intended to impregnate her.

After sexual intercourse he escorted her out of the ship, but when she tripped over some kind of a switch the resultant flash burned her ankles and she fainted. When she woke up she found herself lying in the field where the UFO had landed. Her friends had been searching for her for several hours. A doctor who examined her found burns on her legs and ankles. She brought her friends back to the spot where she claimed to have been inside the UFO, and a large indentation was found in the earth. She later was examined again by a medical doctor and found to be pregnant. There is no account of how the pregnancy turned out.

Event 26902 (3241766B)

Date: 8/13/1966
Location: ENGLAND Lakenheath
Description: (Translated from French) During the night, the radars of two different bases detected a mysterious object above Lakenheath. At the same time, several observers noticed the presence in the sky of several round, luminous, and very fast objects. RAF fighters took off to attempt interception. The on-board radars also recorded the presence of objects. Suddenly, one of them rushed towards one of the fighters and began to circle around it. Terrified, the pilot attempted to escape several times with extremely violent maneuvers. The object followed him as if playing. This game of cat and mouse lasted 10 minutes. And the craft moved away... Case studied by the Condon Commission. Pages 248 to 256 of the "report". Conclusion of the investigators on this observation: The participation of at least one authentic (sic!) UFO is extremely probable. (1966, night of August 13th to 14th)

Event 26941 (6AAB3282)

Date: 8/20/1966
Description: (Translated from French) The police and fire department went to the slopes of Morro do Vintem. They discovered a handkerchief, a piece of crumpled blue and white aluminum foil, some Cellophane paper soaked in a chemical and some crumpled paper strips. On some of them, one can read mathematical or electrical formulas as well as on two others: At 4:30 in the afternoon, be at the designated point. At 6:30, swallow the capsules with an orange. Once their effect is in progress, protect half of the face with lead masks. Then wait for the agreed signal. and Sunday, one capsule before the meal; Monday, one capsule in the morning; Tuesday, one capsule before the meal; Wednesday, one capsule before bedtime. The investigation was entrusted to Inspector José Venancio Bittencourt of the Rio de Janeiro police. The two victims were Miguel José Viana, 34 years old, and Manuel Pereira da Cruz, 32 years old, both electronics technicians and specialists in television. Both married, they lived in the city of Campos where they were well known. The analyses will show that the blood found near the dead was not theirs, and the autopsy could not determine the cause of their death. Inspector Bittencourt is categorical on this subject: Our specialists have excluded the possibility of poisoning, an act of violence or death by asphyxiation. According to a forensic doctor, the death, which dated back to August 16 or 17, was natural (heart attack). Inspector Bittencourt did not make the link between this double death and the UFO, nor even with any scientific experiment that had gone wrong. It was for him a staging organized by the murderer or murderers in order to conceal a theft - it is said that the victims had left home with a very large sum of money in cash. A recidivist later declared to be the author of the crime, but he was ruled out.

Event 26948 (13555AF1)

Date: 8/20/1966
Locations: Morro do Vintém in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Campos dos Goytacazes; Niterói; Jacques Vallée
Description: Afternoon. Some boys looking for a lost kite on the Morro do Vintém in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, discover the bodies of two dead males and report them to the authorities. The Morro do Vintém is a hill with difficult terrain, and the police are unable to reach the bodies until August 21. When a small team of police and firefighters arrive, they encounter an odd scene: the bodies are resting next to each other, partly covered by grass. Each one is wearing a formal suit, a lead eye mask, and a waterproof coat. There are no signs of trauma or struggle. Next to the corpses, police find an empty water bottle and a packet containing two wet towels. A small notebook is also identified, on which were written the cryptic instructions, “16:30 be at the specified location. 18:30 ingest capsules, after the effect protect metals await signal mask.” The two men are identified as Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana, two electronic technicians from Campos dos Goytacazes. Following an investigation, police reconstruct a plausible narrative of the men’s last days. On August 17, Cruz and Viana leave Campos dos Goytacazes saying that they needed to purchase some materials for work (although they tell others they are on a secret mission). The two men then board a bus to Niterói and arrive at 2:30 p.m. Evidence shows that the waterproof coats were purchased at a shop there, and one bottle of water from a local bar. Upon being interviewed, the waitress from the bar described Miguel as “very nervous,” and noticed he frequently checked his watch. That is the last time they are known to have been seen alive; it is presumed they go directly from the bar to the spot where they were discovered. One theory revolves around the testimony of a friend of the two men, who claims that they are members of a group of “scientific spiritualists” who are apparently attempting to contact extraterrestrials or spirits using psychedelic drugs. Believing that such an encounter would be accompanied by blinding light, the men cut metal masks to shield their eyes and may have died of drug overdoses. This account is corroborated by the esoteric diary entry found at the scene and by mask-making materials and literature concerning spirits found at the men’s homes. In April 1980, Jacques Vallée locates the exact spot where the bodies were found and notes that no vegetation is growing there.

Description: Later that day outside of Bozeman, Montana Dan Duggleby was up in the hills with a .22 caliber rifle when he heard a "whooshing" noise and looked up to see a large rocket-shaped object about 60 feet in diameter and 300 feet tall, which landed close by. An opening appeared in the side of the cylinder and a ramp slid out, and five robotic metal "boxes" with small wheels on the bottoms and four "arms" on the sides came down the ramp. One took ground samples, while three of the others took air, grass, and flower samples and the last one "just stood there." When finished they rolled back up the ramp, the ramp slid in, and the ship took off straight up and vanished in the fog. The witness had seen disc-like UFOs on many previous occasions.

Event 26974 (56FF3611)

Date: 8/24/1966
Locations: Minot AFB M-6 Minuteman launch site southeast of Norma, North Dakota; N-7 (near Mohall)
Description: 10:00 p.m. Airman 3d Class Michael D. Mueller reports by base radio seeing a multicolored light high in the sky above the Minot AFB M-6 Minuteman launch site southeast of Norma, North Dakota. A team goes to his location and confirms the object and sees a second white object passing in front of clouds. The base radar detects the object, which is tracked at about 100,000 feet (20 miles). The object rises and descends a number of times, and each time Maj. Chester A. Shaw Jr., in charge of the M-6 missile crew, finds his radio transmission interrupted by static, even though he is 60 feet underground. The UFO gradually descends to ground level 10–15 miles south of the base. The Air Force sends a strike team to check on it. When they are within 10 miles of the site, static disrupts their radio contact. Five to eight minutes later, the glow diminishes and the UFO takes off. Another UFO is sighted and tracked on radar; the first object flies underneath this second one. The two objects disappear separately. The entire episode lasts about 4 hours and is confirmed by two other missile launch sites, M- 4 and N-7 (near Mohall). Another report from the same time period mentions that some missiles went off alert for 24 hours after a UFO sighting at the N-1 missile alert facility.

Date: 9/3/1966
Description: (Translated from French) In the same house where the August 6 event took place, almost the entire family went out. Only the eldest daughter stayed with a friend. They were watching television in the afternoon when it suddenly went out. The house was lit up by a strange, red and yellow light, which seemed to spin around. The girls looked outside and saw an object hovering in the same place, near the same tree, as in the first event. Its shape was still that of an overturned bowl on a flat circle, like a saucer. It was bathed in light and took off shortly afterwards. There was no sign of life inside or outside the craft. (September 3)

(Philippe SCHNEYDER: "Ovni, premier bilan" - ed. du Rocher 1983, p. 232) GEMINI XI, September 12, 1966 (Richard Gordon, Charles Conrad) An elongated object is observed above Madagascar. NORAD says it is the Soviet PROTON 3. But the PROTON 3 was traveling more than 350 miles beyond at the time of the observation. (Bruce Maccabee) Three photos are taken, enlarged and widely published. These photos are "hazy" and do not show at all what the astronauts said they saw with their own eyes. (1989 - listing and research by Harvey S. Stewart) Richard Gordon and Charles Conrad report the presence of an orange-yellow UFO about ten kilometers away from them. (note by vog: what precision! for astronauts in space without any reference point...) It dives in front of them and disappears when they try to photograph it.

Cook says it will need the help of psychologists. William A. Scott and David R. Saunders are interested. Around this time, Condon agrees to an informal question-and-answer session about the project. George Gamow and Richard Sigismond are in attendance. Gamow is surprised that Condon has never heard of the Trindade Island UFO photos. Sigismond applies for an opening on the committee and is accepted, but he declines the offer after a 20-minute interview with Condon, whose negative bias on the subject is unyielding.

Event 27099 (940D6DEC)

Date: 9/22/1966
Description: (Translated from French) In Deadwood (South Dakota), 4 police officers observe night lights for 1 hour. 2 pairs of police officers on patrol in 2 neighboring towns observe a large, round, white and shiny object at 50° above the horizon. Radio communications between the two groups allow for an approximate triangulation that locates the object in the sky about halfway between the two towns... They try to get closer: The object remained suspended, motionless, for about 15 minutes, extinguishing when we directed our spotlights on it. It was the size of a dollar coin held at arm's length. Shortly after, a smaller object - a light - streaked across the sky and also stopped next to the large light. Then the big light described a square trajectory, sending blue light beams to the ground from time to time. After maneuvering like this for about 1/2 hour, the lights shot off at full speed in the direction from which they came and disappeared in about 5 seconds. And all this absolutely silently.

Date: 9/24/1966
Location: Peoria, Illinois
Description: 3:30 a.m. A man named Gaines is driving his girlfriend home in Peoria, Illinois, when they see a large, luminous, blue sphere hovering low in the sky. It shoots off, so he drops the girlfriend off. On the way home the blue ball returns; his car begins to pick up speed, the brakes won’t work, and the doors won’t open. He races on this way for a few blocks, then the UFO takes off.

Around 4:30 pm all three of them saw, at 70 meters distance, a strange device, animated by slight oscillations and flying above the treetops. Immediately they jumped off the tractor and ran 20 meters in the direction of the metallic and shining object that was silently moving at 17 meters altitude. The UFO covered another thirty meters at a speed of 50 km/h then, suddenly, like a rocket, it rose straight up and disappeared into the clouds.

Date: 10/2/1966
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
Description: 8:20 p.m. Mrs. Everett Steward is talking on the telephone at her home in Cincinnati, Ohio, when she smells a foul odor in the room. She goes to her bedroom, but she has a feeling of being watched. Looking out the window, she sees an oval-shaped object with portholes and red, green, and white lights revolving around it. It is 75 feet in diameter and hovering at 100 feet. She wakes up her husband, who also sees it, and calls her married daughter, Mrs. Janet Emery, a mile away; the Emerys also see it, and a neighbor with binoculars can see that it has square windows glowing yellow. Janet goes outdoors and sees the UFO eject a red ball, which maneuvers while the first UFO takes off southward. The red ball flies 75–100 feet over Janet’s head; its underside is shiny like aluminum foil. Mrs. Steward goes to bed, but the odor is still in the house. After some time, the room is filled for an instant with brilliant white light; then this vanishes and a globe of light about 21 inches in diameter appears at the foot of her bed. Inside are 5 “non-human, hairless heads” with oval, sunken eyes. Instead of noses, there are slits, and they have no mouths. Telepathically, they repeat several times: “We have made contact.” Mrs. Steward screams and the globe disappears. She is so disquieted by the experience that she goes under psychiatric care for the next 2 years.

Event 27142 (D794A3A4)

Date: 10/2/1966
Description: Mrs. Everett Steward, a flight attendant, was talking on the telephone from her home in Cincinnati, Ohio at 10:20 p.m. when she smelled a foul odor in the room. She went to her bedroom, where she had a feeling of being watched. Looking out the window, she saw an oval-shaped object with portholes and red, green, and white lights revolving around it. It was 75 feet in diameter and 100 feet above the ground. She woke her husband, who also saw it, and called her married daughter, Mrs. Janet Emery, a mile away. The Emerys also saw it, and a neighbor with binoculars could see that it had illuminated yellow square windows. Next, her daughter Janet went outdoors and saw the UFO eject a red ball, which maneuvered about while the first UFO took off southward. The red ball flew 100 feet over Jane's head. It too was oval shaped, and its underside was shiny like aluminum foil. It was "bigger than my cottage and yard combined." She also smelled the garbage like odor. Mrs. Steward went to bed, but the odor still persisted in the house. Sometime later that night the room was filled with a brilliant white light, which then vanished, and a globe of light about 21 inches in diameter appeared at the foot of her bed. Inside the globe were the images of five "non-human, hairless heads" with oval, sunken eyes. "Instead of noses, there were slits, and they had no mouths." Telepathically, they repeated several times that "we have made contact." Mrs Steward screamed, and the globe disappeared. She was so upset by the experience that she began psychiatric counseling and continued it for the next two years.

Event 27149 (51F8DB23)

End date: 10/5/1966
Location: John Street in Connersville, Indiana
Description: 5:00 a.m. Jack Jones is delivering newspapers on John Street in Connersville, Indiana. He notices a group of lights in a field to the west past the dead end. He thinks it might be a new light installation and moves on. The next day, Jones is with another paper carrier, Don Doe, and he suggests they go see the new lights. Jack sees the lights, but they are in a different position somewhat to the north. Both boys sit on their bicycles and watch a dark disc-shaped object with flashing red, green, and white lights on it that is apparently on the ground some 840 feet into the field. They estimate it is 27 feet in diameter and 10 feet high. They hear a high-pitched whirring sound and smell a faint odor of sulfur and tannic acid. After watching it a few minutes, they hear a new sound as if someone is walking slowly toward them through some thick weeds. They take off on their bicycles and don’t look back. Some days later, investigators find three holes, 8 feet apart in an equilateral triangle, where the object was seen. The holes measure 7 inches at the top and 1 inch at the bottom.

Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. A. was around 5:20 PM, busy in the kitchen, five of her children were playing outside. The children called their mother to come and see the silent plane. When she went out, the object was arriving just south of the grain silo (72 feet high) going from east to west, slowly. The object was about 35 feet in altitude and the witness thought it was an airplane trying to make an emergency landing, but then she saw it in its entirety. This oval machine measured 50 feet by 100 feet, around the ends there was a bluish glow as well as around the bottom. This glow looked more like a kind of opaque mist. The craft itself was blue and seemed to be metallic and on the sides there were ribs. The object was not luminous. There was only one black window at the front. At the rear end, a part like a spur protruded. The object disappeared by raising its nose and leaving like an arrow.

He then saw a being more than 2 m tall with a monkey-like look, all hairy. (..) the witness stayed in his car until the bus driver, worried to see that he was not following them anymore, came back on his route. (…) the bus had scared the monster who dropped his long hair over his eyes. As soon as he did this, to the great surprise of the motorist, his engine started again. He did not tell anything to his friends for fear of being considered crazy. … a few meters from the first incident, his engine had misfires again. Priestly then saw sparks coming out from under the hood as if there was a short circuit. He looked at the side of the road and frozen with fear he saw again the giant looking at him. The bus came back again and this time the creature fled into the forest. (1966, mid-October)

Event 27205 (6CF903A6)

Date: 10/15/1966
Location: Split Rock Pond, south of Newfoundland, New Jersey
Description: 4:45 a.m. Forester Jerry H. Simons is driving home from a camping expedition, notices a reddish glow behind him, and stops his car near Split Rock Pond, south of Newfoundland, New Jersey, to investigate. A flat- bottom, red-orange disc with a dome on top is hovering above and behind his car. Near panic, he flees the area with the object following him. When the light from the object illuminates the ground around him, his car engine, dashlights, and headlights all fail. When the object recedes, his lights and engine function normally. This sequence is repeated three times, strongly demonstrating a direct correlation between the light from the UFO and the failure of his car’s electrical system. Shortly after the sighting, Simons begins experiencing a recurring illness (the reason for his story appearing in a medical journal); it is characterized by fatigue, anorexia, soreness, muscle weakness, chills, and significant weight loss. After about 6 months he has fully recovered.

The star proceeds to draw aright-angle step around the Moon and continues northward, where it joins two other objects. The three objects then form 90° angles, equilateral triangles, and other geometrical figures. Two of the students go home for binoculars, and while they are away the sky show stops. They remain in the sky, but stationary. The objects look spherical through binoculars with some sort of lighted, colored areas that rotate.

Event 27258 (082FCDC1)

Date: 11/1966
Location: BELGIUM, Aische en Refail
Description: (Translated from French) G.P., 19 years old, on a Flandria 49cc moped, was returning home at night, around 11 pm. As he approached a small hill in S, he noticed that in front of him the sky was blazing red and at the same time the moped's engine weakened and the headlight dimmed greatly. He was unable to restart the engine. "I saw on my left an circular object from which the light was coming. From 3 to 4 m high for 4 to 5 m base: a flat disc topped with an elongated dome that looked like a beehive. The dome was dark, the base of the craft illuminated with a mixture of red, yellow and white, forming a reddish halo in which the shape was outlined, it was coming towards me emitting a dull noise." The object flew so low that G.P. thought it was going to collide with him, but it certainly passed 10 or 15 m from the ground and continued on its trajectory towards the fields that it illuminated. When G.P. saw this thing up close he noticed a flat dark background circled with reddish-yellow lights, like portholes. When the UFO had moved away 50 m, the moped started again all at once, the machine jumped and G.P. had difficulty controlling it." Total duration of the observation: 15 seconds.

Description: The University of Colorado UFO project officially launches. Michael D. Swords writes: “It was one of the most peculiar scientific grants of all time. Normally a governmental grant goes to a scientist who has initiated it or is at least vitally interested and experienced in the field, and essentially knows exactly what he is going to do. This grant was to a scientist who was pushed into it, had little interest and apparently no experience, and, despite his brilliance, ‘didn’t have a clue.’ Because the reports of the UFO phenomenon are so complex and multidimensional, this short-term ‘backwards grant’ was doomed to fail before it was even signed.”

Locations: Newfields, New Hampshire; Exeter, New Hampshire
Description: 8:00 p.m. Mrs. Ray Tibbetts is talking on the phone in her home at Newfields, New Hampshire, when her son, Dale, yells that there is a strange light outside. Her foster daughter, Anita Purrington, joins Dale and they both get excited. Mrs. Tibbetts runs to a window when the house lights begin blinking on and off. She goes to her son’s room and sees a huge object with two tiers of four windows from which a strange, yellow-green light is shining. The size of one of the windows is as big as her living room wall. An apparent ceiling line is visible in the bottom tier. Suddenly an intense white light shoots out from the object at Mrs. Tibbetts, who is knocked backward and gets spots before her eyes. When her vision clears, the UFO is gone. She has pains in her eyes the next two days and they are extremely sensitive to light. She drives to a clinic in Exeter, New Hampshire, which finds a spasm in the eyelid and tearing, but it attributes this to the cobalt therapy she has been getting.

The witness then felt as if he was receiving a message without any words being spoken.

Event 27277 (8BE8C17E)

Date: 11/2/1966
Time: 1925
Location: Parkersburg, West Virginia
Description: W. Derenberger, salesman, saw a dark object ahead of him on the road. It was flat on the bottom and rounded on top. As he stopped, the object came within 20 cm of the road surface, and a man of dark complexion, dressed with a shirt and ordinary trousers, both a shiny blue color, came out, smiled at the witness who then thought that he received a message, although no word was spoken. The message described a hypothetical "other world" and suggested that the observation be reported to authorities. The man also promised to return. Several people who drove by the witness did report seeing a man speaking to him, as well as a strange vehicle nearby.

Event 27278 (5CB31BB9)

Date: Early 11/1966
Locations: Minot; Donnybrook; North Dakota; Parkersburg; West Virginia; Interstate 77
Description: Low and Hynek make the Colorado project’s first field trip, to Minot and Donnybrook, North Dakota. November 2 — 7:25 p.m. Woodrow Derenberger is driving his panel truck home to Parkersburg, West Virginia, on Interstate 77 when a low-flying dark object about 35 feet wide cuts in front of him and forces him to stop. It hovers a foot above the ground, only 20 feet ahead. The object has a profile similar to a kerosene lamp chimney flattened on the bottom side. A door opens and a smiling man of dark complexion descends, wearing a topcoat (“blue and quite shiny, having a glistening effect”) over shiny blue trousers. Without opening his mouth, which bears a fixed grin, he addresses Derenberger telepathically, asking him to open his window. For the next 10 minutes he conducts a telepathic conversation, first asking Derenberger’s name and saying that his own is “Indrid Cold” from a planet called Lanulos in the “Ganymede galaxy.” He tells Derenberger not to think of him as an alien and concludes by saying, “We will see you again.” After admitting Mr. Cold, the UFO rises vertically and disappears. A truck driver named Walter Vanscoy is going north on I-77 and sees, in apparent confirmation of the encounter, a truck parked on the berm of the southbound I-77 lanes with a man wearing a knee-length coat standing by the passenger side. Derenberger’s space adventures are only beginning.

Event 27283 (7B45C5F6)

Date: 11/4/1966
Locations: US Highway 50 near Parkersburg, West Virginia; intersection of I-77 and State Highway 47
Description: Derenberger has another encounter when he lapses into a trance while driving a truck with a colleague along US Highway 50 near Parkersburg, West Virginia. He starts speaking, sometimes mumbling, other times conveying messages about “ships.” Derenberger later says that Cold was sending him a telepathic message that his ship was directly above the truck. A sighting of a UFO “like two glass chimneys from a kerosene lamp welded together at their widest or bulging ends” at 6:45 p.m. by Irma Hudgins and her daughter Pamela Sue near the intersection of I-77 and State Highway 47 seems to confirm some UFO activity. Derenberger has further meetings with Indrid Cold and his companion Carl Ardo, who often pass undetected among earthlings, through the early 1970s and in 1984.

Event 27286 (D4ADD2D4)

Date: 11/5/1966
Description: On this night Mrs. Kathleen glanced out the kitchen door of her house in Arlington, Indiana and saw a lighted object, which moved toward her and hovered 50 feet away, some 20-30 feet up in the air. It was as big as a house and Saturn-shaped. In the middle of the object were brightly lit windows. Mrs. Kathleen could see in these windows a man and two women, who appeared to be on different floors. The man, muscular in build, was manipulating something like a steering wheel and was staring directly at her, which frightened her. One of the women who was on the lower level handed him a small object "like a cup of coffee." After about three minutes the object began to move westward, then rose steeply emitting a multicolored exhaust. It moved off at a speed greater then a jet.

The report states that the object in the photos is 3–4 inches in diameter, not 30 feet as claimed by Ditter; the object is not at a considerable distance, but a mere 3–4 feet from the camera lens; and the photos are not taken in rapid succession, but approximately 70 minutes has elapsed between photos. Also, the numbers on the backs of the photographs are out of sequence with Ditter’s story.

Event 27314 (38EC02E9)

Date: 11/14/1966
Location: USA, Point Pleasant (West Virginia)
Description: (Translated from French) Around midnight, two young couples, the Scarberrys and Mallette, were driving in a car, seven miles north of Point Pleasant. (...) They were passing by one of the two abandoned electric stations, when they saw on the side of the road, a strange vertical creature observing them. The being "was of human appearance, but tall, between 6 and 7 feet tall [about 2 meters], and it had two large wings folded on its back," declared Roger Scarberry. And his wife Linda added: "But what struck the most was its eyes. They were huge, red, like car headlights." The car slowed down. For about a minute, the mysterious creature and the four passengers stared at each other in silence. Then the being turned around and entered the electric cabin, whose door was open..

Event 27317 (A9C06A5B)

Date: 11/14/1966
Description: At 10:30 p.m. Mr. Newell Partridge was sitting at home in Salem, West Virginia when suddenly the TV blacked out. A fine herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and simultaneously the TV began making a loud whining noise, winding up to a high pitch as if on a musical scale. He said it sounded like a generator winding up. Outside on his front porch his dog Bandit began wailing. Partridge picked up a flashlight and went outside to investigate. The dog was sitting on the end of the porch, howling down toward the hay barn in the bottom. Partridge shined his light in that direction and it picked up two red circles, or eyes, which looked like bicycle reflectors. There was something about the eyes that was difficult to explain. The eyes were huge and plainly visible at a distance of 150 yards. As soon as the flashlight picked out the "eyes" Bandit snarled and ran toward them. A "cold chill" swept over the man and he felt a wave of fear, which kept him from following the dog. That night he slept with a loaded gun beside his bed. The next day he went looking for his dog with some neighbors. They found tracks. At the approximate position of the "eyes" he found a large number of dog tracks. The tracks were going in a circle, as if the dog had been chasing his tail. Then the tracks vanished, the dog was never seen again.

Event 27326 (7D3A81CF)

Date: 11/15/1966
Locations: Point Pleasant, West Virginia; McClintic Wildlife Management Area; Mason County Courthouse
Description: 11:30 p.m. Two young couples from Point Pleasant, West Virginia—Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette—are joyriding in an area outside of town known as the “TNT area” [the site of a former World War II munitions plant and now part of the McClintic Wildlife Management Area] when they encounter a large gray creature whose eyes glow red when the car’s headlights pick it up. Scarberry describes it as shaped like a man but nearly 7 feet tall. They describe it as a “large flying man with 10-foot wings” that are folded against its back. Terrified, they drive away but pass a similar creature on a hill by the road. As they pass it, it spreads its wings, rises into the air, and pursues their car, keeping pace at even 100 mph. The entity does not pursue them into town, but they drive directly to the Mason County Courthouse, where they tell their story to Deputy Millard Halstead, who accompanies the witnesses back to the site. He hears strange static disturbances coming from his radio, but they find no evidence of the encounter. On November 16, Sheriff George E. Johnson holds a press conference to discuss the sighting, the press begins calling the creature “Mothman” based on a comic book character. The Scarberrys and Mallettes go back to the site in the daylight and find odd-looking tracks like “two horseshoes put together.” After this sighting, more people begin reporting encounters, and hundreds of cars swarm out to the TNT area at night in search of a Mothman sighting. In May 1976, representatives of the Ohio UFO Investigators League reinterview several witnesses, all of whom stick to their stories and sometimes add interesting details.

Description: Newell Partridge was sitting at home at 10:30 p.m. in Salem, West Virginia when suddenly the TV blanked out. A very fine herringbone pattern appeared on the tube, and at the same time the set started making a loud whining noise, increasing to a high pitch, peaking and then breaking off, as if on a musical scale, sounding like a generator winding up.

When the car headlights struck the creature its eyes, about two inches in diameter, glowed red. It finally scurried into a field and disappeared.

Area on their way to visit some mutual friends, the Thomases. Suddenly, a strange and large red light appeared in the sky, moving above the T.N.T. Area. It was certainly not an airplane. When they arrived at their destination, the Wamsleys and Mrs Bennett were getting out of the car when an enormous gray figure suddenly appeared behind the car and rose slowly. It was bigger than a man, with two terrifyingly bright eyes. Panic seized the small group: the Wamsleys ran towards the house, followed by Mrs Bennett carrying her crying daughter.

They ran into the house, but the creature shuffled onto the porch and peered into windows. It was gone by the time police arrived. Mr. & Mrs. Steve Mallette and Mr. & Mrs Roger Scarberry reported that their car was followed about midnight by a gray "bird like creature" 6-7 feet tall with a 10 foot wingspan.

After about half an hour a red flame shot upward from the object, then two very bright lights approached it from the distance. When these were near it something like a luminous balloon sprang up from it and hovered in the air. At this point she could see 3 or 4 figures moving about the large object on the ground, which was pulsating from dim to bright. They were dressed in a "gold shiny material." She watched them for about two hours before going to bed.

Event 27339 (5B510A29)

Date: 11/17/1966
Description: In Gaffney, South Carolina police patrolmen A. G. Huskey and C. Hutchins rounded a corner and saw a dark, spherical machine with a flat rim land in front of their patrol car at four o'clock in the morning. They estimated it was seven meters in diameter and about twenty feet above the ground. Hutchins described it as being spherical, like a ball, with a wide, flat rim around it. There were no lights or portholes visible on it. It was completely dark, reflecting a dull gold color in the headlights of the police car. A small doorway opened noiselessly on the underside of the sphere and a short ladder dropped down. A small man dressed in a shiny gold suit emerged. White light poured out of the opening, but neither man could see anything in the interior. The small being descended the ladder and walked slowly and deliberately toward the two police officers. When the figure reached a point about fifteen to twenty feet from the two men, it stopped.

"He didn't move stiffly," officer Hutchins said. "He moved just like anybody else, but kind of slow...like he was taking his time. He wasn't scared of us or anything like that." In appearance, the humanoid was about the size of a twelve-year-old boy, maybe four feet tall. He wore no helmet or headgear and was dressed in a gold suit with no buttons or zippers. His costume was shiny, like metal, in the reflection of the headlights, but it was not self-luminous. The humanoid asked numerous questions and ignored the witnesses when they asked any questions. Hutchins could not remember seeing the feet of the creature. It was standing on high grass and the feet must have been hidden. Both men could not really remember the full context of the "conversation". Hutchins claimed the alien spoke perfect English. "Didn't have any accent or anything. He acted like he knew exactly what he was saying and doing...didn't make any quick moves or false moves. He just stood there and talked to the witnesses." He wanted to know why both men were dressed alike. His speech was very precise. He pronounced each work very carefully. When asked where he was from, he just laughed. The meeting was brief, perhaps only two or three minutes. Then, Hutchins say, the creature announced, "I...will...return...in...two...days." He turned, walked slowly back to the ladder and climbed into the object. The door closed quietly and the craft began to make a soft whirring sound like an engine with a muffler on it. The object rose slowly and vanished into the sky. A local councilman found numerous footprints at the site where the little man had stood. There was no return visit by the alien.

Event 27340 (88415B58)

Date: 11/18/1966
Location: USA, Point Pleasant
Description: (Translated from French) Sandhill Cranes are large, grey, aggressive birds with big red eyes. The TNT area is right next to the McClintic Wildlife Station, a sanctuary for birds and other wild animals. On November 18, the volunteer fire brigade of Point Pleasant, Captain Paul Yoder accompanied by Benjamin Enochs, were driving through the TNT area when they saw a large creature with huge red eyes. They had never seen anything like it before. But what they could certainly affirm was that the big beast was some kind of bird. (November 18, 1966)

Description: 9:00–10:00 a.m. A biochemist and consultant to a logging company and his wife are traveling on State Highway 58 through the Willamette Pass, Oregon, when he decides to stop and take photos of some scenery. He stops at the Diamond Peak overlook, takes 2 photos, then pauses to take a third. Suddenly, he claims, a disc- shaped object with a domed top ascends into his field of view. After stopping for 3 seconds, it shoots off toward the right and disappears into a cloud bank. When he develops the roll of film, the photos show a blurred disc- shaped object with two black bands beneath and sitting atop a seeming column of vapor. NICAP is given the photo but is not impressed. In 1989, physicist Irwin Wieder performs a detailed analysis of the photo and determines that it is a blurred photo of the “Diamond Peak” sign taken from a passing car.

Description: 10:00 a.m. A deer hunter searching for game near Roaring River State Park, Missouri, returns to his group’s camp and becomes alarmed when he sees smoke rising from it. He finds their tent and other camping equipment destroyed. The tent is still smoldering, one of the aluminum tent poles is singed, and the aluminum cots are melted. The tent is set up under two trees, but their leaves show no traces of damage at all. About 15 feet away is a dead tree with its top still burning. The witness then heasr a low humming sound and sees an object rising from the valley about 300 feet away. He is able to take a photograph of it as it ascends and manages a second photo a few seconds later. It is an aluminum-colored disc, about 25 feet in diameter and 8 feet thick, with a band around its center and some kind of projection at its rear. The humming sound intensifies as the object picks up speed and disappears in 20 seconds.

Event 27456 (6C8C7086)

Date: 12/29/1966 (approximate)
Location: In flight, between Lima and Mexico
Description: (Translated from French) In the night of December 29, 1966, the Canadian Pacific DC 8, flight 421, was en route from Lima to Mexico, altitude: 12,000 meters. South of the equator, an object with two white lights descended towards it. "There must have been a solid cockpit between the two lights," said Captain Robert Millbank with all the authority of his twenty-six years of practice, there was also a belt of lights, very similar to a row of lit windows on a passenger plane. For two minutes, the UFO had maintained its position slightly behind the left wing of the DC 8. The entire crew had been able to observe it. Then it had glided back and had soon disappeared. (Donald KEYHOE: "The Strangers from Space" - Pocket Press 1975 - p. 265-266) Robert Milbank, captain of the Canadian Pacific DC 8, submitted a report after landing in Mexico: It was 02:00, the passengers were sleeping. We were flying at 11,000 m, off the Peruvian coast, just below the equator. Two white lights appeared. They were observed by the co-pilot John Dale, the navigator Mike Mole, the trainee pilot Wolfgang Poepperi and the flight attendant Joseph Lugs (in addition to the captain). (...) It stopped at the height of our left wing and in the moonlight we distinguished between the two extreme light points a structure that seemed higher in the middle. The thing flew at our height for a minute or two, then disappeared behind our aircraft. (1966, December 29 (30?))

Description: In 1967 a drought reduced water levels in Lake Karachay where nuclear waste was being dumped, exposing radioactive dust. The dust was spread by gale-force winds in the area, spread over 25,000 square kilometers and exposing another 500,000 residents to nuclear fallout. The lake would eventually accumulate over 120 million curies of radionuclides. To put that in perspective, the Chernobyl incident released 1 million.

Location: USSR
Description: (Translated from French) From January 1967, American NORAD operators noticed from time to time the satellization of Cosmos, which barely completed one orbit around the Earth before falling back, to the point that optical and radar installations could locate them precisely. The first of its kind was Cosmos 139, which was followed by several other identical satellites, launched at a variable rate. There were 9 of them in 1967 and on November 3, 1967, US Defense Minister Mac Namara could announce that the US Air Force had identified the nature of this Soviet space program, to which the acronym "FOBS" (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) was attributed.

He got out with his flashlight to examine the engine when a bright light illuminated the whole area and there was a very distinct sound of running water. On his right the witness then saw a disc emerge from the water, about 8 m in diameter, with a metallic shine and greenish reflections, equipped with several portholes and crowned with a rotating dome and leave at great speed passing on the other side of the road, vertically from the witness. Once the UFO was far away, the car started normally.

Event 27478 (8E7C08A7)

Date: 1967
Location: Colorado
Description: Robert M. Wood, physicist and aerospace manager for McDonnell Douglas Corporation, is assigned the task of exploring breakthroughs in gravity propulsion. The project includes laboratory evaluation of hypotheses, field observations, and examination of UFO literature. At one point there are 4 full-time and 3 part-time employees involved in the effort, code-named BITBR (“Boys in the Back Room”). Wood networks with James E. McDonald, J. Allen Hynek, Carl Sagan, and the Colorado project. The initiative is terminated in 1969 at Wood’s recommendation due to its inability to project a technological payoff.

Around 3 o'clock in the morning, suffering a thousand pains, he was about to call the night nurse, when suddenly Xiti, the beautiful extraterrestrial, was near him. She touched him with her finger, transmitted energy to him, gave him a pill and little by little the pain went away. Xiti assured him that in 6 months he would be completely healed. Two days later he was so well recovered that he could leave the hospital. He spent the day with Xiti, who gave him gold ingots. (vog: isn't she generous, and we would like that too...) He negotiated them and they went shopping with the money

Event 27486 (B8FCD1AA)

Date: 1/1967
Location: Hammaguir, Algeria
Description: Night. French rocket scientist Jean-Pierre Morin is driving three members of a launch team to the tower at Interarmy Special Vehicles Test Center at Hammaguir, Algeria. When they arrive at a row of buildings, they notice a light in the sky silently coming toward them. Their car engine sputters and fails. It stops and hovers at an elevation of 45° about 1,600 feet away. Morin thinks it is attached to a black, cylindrical object 980–1,300 feet in length and 100 feet in diameter with “flames” of different colors along its side. The light begins moving slowly again, and a car with astrophysicists stops and watches it for another 20–30 minutes before it ascends and disappears.

Description: Hynek writes to Condon, telling him that he, Jacques Vallée, and William T. Powers are devoting more personal time to the UFO problem and are setting up a file area in the Lindheimer Observatory at Northwestern University in Evansto, Illinois. He mentions that there is enough underground interest in UFOs among his scientific colleagues that he is thinking of creating an informal “invisible college” to discuss the subject quietly. He mentions that he sat in on a hypnosis session a few weeks previously with Benjamin Simon and was allowed to question Betty and Barney Hill. He also suggests that the Colorado project recommend that police squad cars carry cameras that can document ongoing UFO reports.

The farmer, who had gone out to take care of the animals, suddenly sees a sphere 50 m away from him. He decides to go behind the thing to see what it was, having already assumed that there was one in front and one behind; but when he passes the door, the sphere is just there waiting for him, while it was still in the courtyard a moment earlier. The man then decides to take a small path through the fields to go around the object but the sphere follows him for 60 m before blocking the entrance of the path: This thing followed me for about 60 m, quite close to me... so there was a small path where I wanted to pass... to go around it from behind, then it followed me all the way... until I stopped there where I wanted to go around it, and the "machine" stops too, just at the entrance of the path. So I said, there, there's no arguing, I can't pass! The farmer then calls his son and both of them see 6 spheres that scare them so much that they immediately go back into the house. The large oblong object is also there and it emits a beam similar to that of a lighthouse: There was a lighthouse above, just at the end, to the right, and it was lighting up this window up there, it was lighting up the whole room... I had the window open in front. - Was it a diffuse beam, or rather concentrated? - Oh, concentrated, very concentrated. - And it was lighting up your room? - Yes, it was lighting up it... going and coming... it was turning... it was always turning. - Was it turning in a circle, like a lighthouse? - Yes, sometimes it was lighting up the window below... it kept turning in a circle... but it was there, at 11 PM already, maybe 11:15 or something like that. And then, all of a sudden, everything went out. Everything went out and I didn't see anything anymore. I don't know if it had left or if it was still there. (January 6th, 11 PM)

Event 27524 (9A886A70)

Date: 1/9/1967
Locations: Mount Clemens, Michigan; Lake St. Clair; Selfridge AFB [now Selfridge Air National Guard Base]
Description: Two teenage brothers of Mount Clemens, Michigan, Daniel A. and Grant P. Jaroslaw, take some Polaroid photos from the backyard of their home of a domed object moving slowly above Lake St. Clair. After they release the images to a wire service, the Air Force requests the originals for analysis. They refuse to relinquish them but give an officer at Selfridge AFB [now Selfridge Air National Guard Base] some copies. Maj. Raymond Nyls attempts to recreate the photos at the original site using a block of wood hanging from a string on a children’s swing set. USAF turns the copies and Nyls’s recreations over to the National Photographic Interpretation Center, which takes a serious look and suspects a hoax but cannot prove it conclusively.

Event 27525 (F36968BB)

Date: 1/9/1967
Description: At 5:30 p.m. there was a knock at Edward Christiansen's home in Wildwood, New Jersey. Seventeen-year-old Connie Christiansen went to the door. Stunned, she reported back to her mother, "It's the strangest looking man I've ever seen." Mrs. Christiansen then went to the door and unlatched it and looked outside. It was growing dark and was bitter cold out. There was no car in view and this seemed unusual because the Christiansen home was in an isolated area and guests were unlikely to be arriving on foot. A tall man stood at the door and asked if Edward Christiansen lived there. He then said he was from "the Missing Heirs Bureau" and asked to be let in. They invited the stranger inside. The visitor must have been at least two meters (six and a half feet) tall, and was enormously broad shouldered. He wore a Russian fur hat with a black visor on it and a very long black coat that seemed to be made out of thin material--too thin for the cold weather. He told the family "this will only take forty minutes." As he removed his hat he revealed an unusually shaped head that was large and round, while his face seemed angular and pointed. He had black hair, which was closely cropped. There was a perfectly round spot on the back of his head as if that area had been shaved recently. His nose and mouth seemed relatively normal, but his eyes were large, protruding, like "thyroid eyes," and set wide apart. One eye appeared to have a cast, like a glass eye, and did not move in unison with its companion.

During the course of the conversation Mr. Christiansen noticed a badge on the stranger's shirt pocket, which he quickly covered with his hand and removed, placing it in his coat pocket. It resembled a gold or brass badge and it seemed to have a big K on it with a small x alongside and letters and numbers around the edge, according to Connie Christiansen. Underneath his thin outer coat he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt made of a Dacron like material. His trousers were of a dark gray or black material, and were a little too short. He wore dark shoes with unusually thick rubber soles. A strange feature on his leg fascinated Connie and Mrs. Christiansen. When he sat down they could see a long thick green wire attached to the inside of his leg. It came out or his socks and disappeared under his trousers. At one point it seemed to be indented into his leg and was covered with a large brown spot. The Christiansen's noted that the visitor had an unnatural pallor. His speech was also strange, with a high "tinny" voice that seemed especially peculiar coming from such a large man. He also spoke in a strange, hard to understand, sing-song manner. At one point when his face reddened he asked for a glass of water, and swallowed a large yellow capsule which he gulped down. He then returned to normal. After about 40 minutes he donned his hat and coat and told Mr. Christiansen that he would be in touch. When he reached the road, he made a gesture and a black 1963 Cadillac drove through the trees and pulled up. He climbed into the car and it drove away with its headlights off.

The strange forms disappeared by moving through the wall of the garage and presumably outside. The photos only show a vague luminous area. The witness apparently has had additional subsequent encounters.

Date: 1/11/1967
Description: That same night in Aveyron, Basses Pyrenees, France a farmer sighted a "shell" shaped object taking off from his farm. The man then proceeded to chase a ball of light in his car. The nocturnal light stayed 150 yards ahead of him until his engine died and his lights went out, when he then noticed a "saucer shaped" object descend. The saucer was slightly bigger than a Peugeot car, 9-12 feet above the ground, and came down about 60 feet away. The top of the object had two transparent cupolas in each of which he could see a helmeted figure, human like and dressed in green and white coveralls. He felt a wave of heat and a temporary sensation of paralysis. He watched a nearby road sign vibrating near the oval object. With a whistling sound the UFO rose to 50 meters altitude then dropped back again to near ground level. Becoming brilliantly yellow-white, it finally took off at tremendous speed. As it did so his lights came back on and he was able to start the car normally. Several days later the witness experienced trouble sleeping, followed by some weeks of excessive sleepiness. The area had been the site of repeated UFO incidents for a year.

Event 27544 (3E8CCF3E)

Date: 1/13/1967
Location: USA, near Winslow (Arizona)
Description: (Translated from French) R0 - 22 hours - 3 witnesses - duration 25 minutes. A conversation had started between the Albuquerque control tower and the pilot of a jet Lear, located near Winslow. He had indicated that he saw a red light, first at his 10 o'clock position, which lit up and went out, then turned into four lights arranged vertically. Albuquerque radar, when the light lit up "painted" an object and remained silent when it went out. The light repeatedly generated four other lights, seeming to re-ingest the lights below it. Then, as the tower warned the plane that the object was approaching it, the latter seemed to play cat and mouse with it, notably through very rapid accelerations. After about 25 minutes and with a prodigious acceleration according to the plane's pilot, the object rose at an angle of 30° and disappeared in less than 10 seconds. Albuquerque radar "painted" the object until its final acceleration.

Event 27551 (B4CD33C5)

Date: 1/13/1967
Locations: Joplin, Missouri; Pittsburg, Kansas; Stone's Corner; Coffeyville, Kansas; Springfield, Missouri; Newton County, Missouri; northeast Oklahoma
Description: Early morning. Sgt. Norman Finley of the Joplin, Missouri, police alerts fellow officers about an unexplained object overhead. Pittsburg, Kansas, police dispatcher James Cunningham notifies the Joplin police that a UFO has been seen over Pittsburg. He describes it as an object with bright colors of “vivid blue-green with flashing lights.” Cunningham alerts the Joplin station because the object seems to be leaving Kansas and heading for Missouri. After receiving that call, Joplin’s Lt. Charles Hickman drives to Stone’s Corner near the Joplin airport. He waits for nearly an hour before spotting a UFO in the sky, which he watches for more than an hour. It is about 1,000 feet high and seems about as big as two houses. It makes turns and maneuvers “as if it were being controlled.” For the next three days, there are more sightings in the early morning hours at Coffeyville, Kansas; Joplin, Springfield, and Newton County, Missouri; and northeast Oklahoma.

Event 27552 (87BBF33D)

Date: 1/13/1967
Locations: southwestern New Mexico; Albuquerque; Winslow, Arizona; Los Angeles; Flagstaff
Description: 10:00 p.m. The crew of a Lear Jet flying at 41,000 feet over southwestern New Mexico sees a flashing red luminous object in their 10 o’clock position. The object splits into four smaller red objects vertically several times, each separated by about 2,000 feet and each emitting a “red ray.” It then retracts the lowest objects into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracks a target 39 miles ahead of the Lear Jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal. At that moment the object blinks off visually for 30 seconds then blinks back on. The UFO floods the jet with an intense red light so bright that the pilot has difficulty seeing his instrument panel. It maintains its position in front for a few minutes then blinks out, comes on again, and falls back behind the left wing. It then pulls forward again. Albuquerque radar reports that it looks like the target had merged with the jet. Both the UFO and the jet make left turns over Winslow, Arizona, after which Los Angeles Center radar picks up both targets. Past Flagstaff, the object climbs at a 30° angle and disappears to the west in less than 10 seconds.

Event 27553 (15229CC6)

Date: 1/13/1967
Description: Nine-year old Freddie Amos woke up at 1:30 a.m. in his farmhouse in Iola, Kansas to see a round object hovering motionless low over an adjoining field. It was 25 feet in diameter, had a dome on top, short wing-like protrusions, and three wheels on its underside. There were red lights on the ends of the "wings," and a blue light on top of the dome. A man stood inside the dome looking out, and another man was visible sitting behind a console behind him. The man standind wore a "crinkly" green uniform that covered him entirely; his face was in shadow and his facial features could not be seen. This "terrible" man frightened the boy although he could not say why. He got back into bed but continued to watch the object, which circled his house and hovered again for five minutes back in its original position before flying off. In the morning some of their cows were found to have broken through the fence around their pasture. One had broken her leg. A pond in the pasture near the site continued to remain unfrozen although the temperatures were well below freezing. This encounter occurred during a minor concentration of UFO sightings at nearby locales.

Event 27554 (11072912)

Date: 1/13/1967
Description: At 10:00 p.m. Pilot Carl M., a flight officer, and passenger Jimmie Moran on a Lear Jet 23 en route from Houston, Texas to Las Vegas, Nevada flying at 41,000 feet and 300 knots saw a red oval luminous object in the 10 o'clock position. The object split into four similar red oval objects vertically a number of times, each separated by about 2,000 ft and each emitting a "red ray". They then retracted up into the top object. Albuquerque radar tracked the object 39 miles ahead of the Lear jet moving on the same heading, with no transponder signal. The object blinked off visually for 30 seconds then blinked back on. Albuquerque control contacted a National Airlines DC-8 over Casa Grande, Arizona, whose pilot confirmed the Lear Jet pilot's reports. Albuquerque control warned the Lear that the object suddenly darted towards the Lear at high speed, and within seconds the radar blips merged. The object flooded the Lear Jet with intense red light so bright the pilot had difficulty seeing his instrument panel, and it maintained a position in front of the Lear for a few minutes. Then, it blinked off-on again and started to fall back behind the left wing, but then pulled forward again. When the object blinked off the Albuquerque radar controllers would lose contact with the object, then regain it when it blinked on again. Both the UFO and Lear jet made left turns over Winslow, Arizona, when Los Angeles ARTC Center radar picked up both targets. Past Flagstaff the object climbed at a 30° angle disappearing to the west in less than 10 seconds.

Date: 1/20/1967
Location: Methuen, Massachusetts
Description: 6:30 p.m. Three girls (Kimberly Lodge, Ellen Kenney, and Janice Shafer), 16–17 years old, are driving near Methuen, Massachusetts, when they see a string of 9–10 bright red lights on a dark object that is moving over a field. The object hovers and swings around, revealing lights of a different color and configuration. When the girls stop to watch, their car stalls and the radio and lights go off. It has four glowing lights in the shape of a trapezoid, with red lights on top and white lights forming the base. The lights appear to be reflecting off a metal surface. The object starts moving slowly and then shoots away at high speed. A second car about 3 miles away also sees 7–8 bright lights flying low.

Event 27616 (E79698FC)

Date: 1/20/1967
Description: In 1967 in Methuen, Massachusetts three teenaged girls saw a string of red lights moving low to the ground about 500 feet away. As they drove nearer, the object connected with the lights swung around to reveal a trapezoid shape with two red and two white lights and a metallic body. The object was now hovering at 100-300 feet altitude and as it moved to the side of the road, the engine, radio and headlights of the girls' car suddenly failed. The generator light continued to pulse, however. The object abruptly shot away to the southwest at 6:45 p.m. and everything in the car worked normally again. Later that evening another group of three witness observed the same object 15 minutes later.

Date: 1/25/1967

Description: (Translated from French) At around 1:45 pm there was a sudden flash. It was raining, the atmosphere was heavy. Seven young boys were on their way to school, walking along the Dell, a low valley, ideal for hide and seek. Alex Butler, 10 years old, suddenly saw to the south, a small man in blue with a beard in a clearing above the Dell. He called his friends and they ran towards the silhouette. They were 20 yards away when it disappeared like a puff of smoke. As the silhouette had not scared them, they kept looking for it. They saw it again on the opposite side and it disappeared again, this time to the bottom of the Dell. They then heard "voices" in the bushes and started to be afraid. They saw the man a fourth time before the whistle forced them to go back to school.

Event 27635 (ED5A395E)

Date: 1/25/1967
Location: USA, South Ashburnham (Massachusetts)
Description: (Translated from French) Betty Andreasson Case (memories only under hypnosis in 1977)In the evening of January 25, Betty Andreasson was at home with her seven children and her parents, who had come to help her while her husband was recovering from a car accident in the hospital. Around 7 pm the lights in the house dimmed, Betty saw a pink light shining through the kitchen window. Her father saw small creatures, just like Halloween monsters, in the yard. One of them looked at him and he felt strange. Then the lights came back on. Everyone was petrified in a kind of catatonic trance, but Betty saw four 1.20 m tall beings enter the house passing through the closed door. These beings were typical "grays" wearing tight-fitting blue uniforms. Bette remembered nothing else before undergoing hypnosis regression in 1977 (etc.. etc..) ("UFO Files", ed. Marshall Cavendish, Paris 1998, Special Issue, p. 29) At 6:35 pm the lighting flickers and goes out and an orange pulsating light appears in the garden. Becky (11 years old) and her grandfather rush to the window and see small, big-headed figures hopping closer to the house. Then no one remembers anything else. There were Betty Andreasson, 37 years old, her 7 children, and her parents. Under hypnosis the scene was reconstructed 10 years later (in 1977): the entities float through the walls into the house, the mother also floats into the UFO with the inevitable medical examination etc..

Event 27647 (9D4A7ED1)

Date: 1/25/1967
Location: South Ashburnham, Massachusetts
Description: 6:35 p.m. Betty Andreasson has her first abduction experience in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts. Placed under hypnosis on several occasions in 1977, Andreasson relates that following the appearance of the creatures every member of the family except her enters a state of paralysis “as if time had stopped for them.” A Christian evangelical, Andreasson thinks they must be angels. The culminating event is when Andreasson witnesses a giant phoenix-like bird burn up and reappear from the ashes as a giant worm. Further hypnotic probing brings forth apparent memories of lifelong interactions with extraterrestrials. Raymond E. Fowler’s 1979 book about the case contains the first reference to an implant in abduction literature, a motif that later becomes much more common.

Event 27648 (EEFFC2FA)

Date: 1/25/1967
Description: Harold Lenz was driving to work in Winsted, Minnesota at 4:30 a.m. when the engine of his pickup truck stalled near Howard Lake. He got out to check under the hood and saw a bright luminous object, 75 feet long by 30 feet wide, approach and land on three legs on the highway. It made a loud whirring noise. Something like an elevator descended from the bottom and a man walked out. He was dressed in a silver-blue, tight-fitting coverall uniform with a "fish-bowl" helmet over his head. He was about average height and appeared to be human. The UFO occupant seemed to examine something on the object. He then got back into the UFO and it took off. The total event lasted between 3-4 minutes.

Event 27649 (A6D57948)

Date: 1/25/1967
Description: At around two a.m. three teenage girls--Susan, Tanya and Marianne--were enjoying a typical teenage pajama party in Pittsfield, Pennsylvania and were doing anything but sleeping when all three simultaneously spotted a peculiar light shimmering through the closed curtains of Susan's bedroom. Without warning the drapes parted of their own accord and a midget-sized triangular object was revealed, hovering a few feet from the house. It began beaming a pinkish light of a painfully brilliant intensity into the bedroom. When the triangle moved to the second window, the curtains repeated their opening act, and the light intensity increased several fold. At this point the girls became quite frightened and tried to flee, but all three girls quickly became weak and paralyzed, unable to cry out or do more than whimper helplessly. After a few more torturous moments the light effect dissipated and their mobility was restored, although a dizzy sensation continued to haunt the girls for nearly an hour.

Event 27650 (1F31EFD8)

Date: 1/25/1967
Description: Shortly after sunset, Betty Andreasson, her parents and her seven children were frightened by a pulsating reddish-orange light outside their backyard in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts. This was accompanied by a "silent vacuum" and failure of all the lights in the house. Four entities appeared before Betty in the kitchen after passing through a closed door. The beings were nearly identical in appearance, with large baldheads, gray skin, large wrap-around eyes with hazy, light gray interiors. They had "scar like" mouths and holes for noses and ears. They wore sparkly, dark blue uniforms with a lighter blue "Sam Browne" strap. They had bulky hands, possibly gloved, and wore boots.

Their leader, named Quazgaa, was slightly taller and his suit was darker that the others. The reported height of the entities was between 3 1/2 and five feet. Quazgaa began telepathic communication with Betty in the kitchen. He asked her for some food and was offered some left over meat. The beings declined, asking that it be cooked again and she cooked it on the stove. They followed her into the living room where she handed the leader a Bible. He created several copies and handed them to the crew. He in turn handed her a thin, blue book containing their form of knowledge, which remained in her possession for nine days. During these proceedings the other family members were sitting in the living room in a trance state. However, Betty's daughter remembered and confirmed part of the above testimony. Betty was then "talked into" going onboard the entities' craft. She was on board for an estimated two hours. During this time she was led through several rooms, was given a physical exam, and had a needle inserted in her nostril and another in her navel, and had a body scan by a device that looked like a giant eye. She was then placed in an enclosed seat that was filled with a soothing liquid, in which she was "prepared" for an unusual journey.

Accompanied by two guides she visited an alien realm where she saw cities, strange bug-eyed creatures, and a vast ocean. She had a traumatic religious experience, which led her to believe that the beings were some form of "angels." Returning from the journey she was led back to her home by two of the entities, one named Joohop. Her family was still in a state of suspended animation. Her daughter later recalled being "baby sat" by the one remaining entity. The beings, holding spheres of light in their hands, proceeded to put the family to bed, Betty the abductee being the last. The incident included automatic writing, speaking in strange tongues, visions, message transfer and telephone "contact," some of these occurring under hypnosis and others during the investigation. Betty was found to have several previous contacts and numerous post-1967 abduction experiences as well.

She tells her father, and they look out the window to see a dirigible- shaped object about 50–60 feet long hovering about 150 feet off the ground above a motor vehicle shed. Before long, a crowd of 50–60 people gather around their apartment building to watch the object, which is only 100 feet away. Some observers with binoculars say it is metallic and has lights that alternate in red, blue, and green colors. After about 20 minutes, US Air Force jets approach in response to a call from the base, and the UFO’s lights increase in intensity and it speeds away.

Description: On this morning, about a week after seeing a large metallic sphere hovering above a highway near Charleston, West Virginia, Tad Jones was driving along the same highway at the same time when he came upon a man standing on the roadside in the same spot where the sphere had hovered. Thinking that it was a hitchhiker Tad slowed down and called to him. The man did not reply but merely waved him on. He described the man as very tanned, wearing a blue coat, and a blue cap with a visor. He was holding a box in his hand. It appeared to be some kind of instrument with a dial on it, like a clock, and a wire ran from it to his other hand. A later check with the local gas company proved negative as far as it being one of their men. Furthermore, no such instrument described by Jones was in use anywhere by any of their employees. He saw the same man again the next day, but drove on.

Suddenly a flash of lightning strikes nearby, and Alex sees a little blue man about 3 feet tall with a high bowler hat and beard standing motionless on the opposite bank. It is clothed in a one-piece garment with a broad black belt and black box in front. A dim glow envelops him, giving him a blue color. The other boys see it too. They begin to run toward the creature, but it disappears in a puff of smoke. The little man appears in a different spot, and the boys start running there, but again he disappears. As the vanishing act repeats again, the boys hear a deep-toned sound emanating from two spots nearby. At that point the school bell sounds, and the boys rush off to class. Miss Newcomb, the school headmistress, interviews the boys and collects their written reports in a scrapbook (now lost).

Event 27674 (83591E46)

Date: 1/28/1967
Description: By this date things were more or less back to normal at the Kushner household in Pittsfield, Pennsylvania following a frightening close encounter experience with a brilliant pink triangular UFO three nights earlier (on January 25th). However, shortly after dinner two strange men arrived at the door. They identified themselves as military investigators and flashed what appeared to be USAF identification. Mrs. Kushner described the ID card as having black printing on a durable white stock. Both men wore tan trench coats which they kept buttoned from knee to collar. The taller of the two, who did all the talking, was described as thin and deeply tanned, and having blond hair and green eyes. The other gentleman was heavy set with dark hair, piercing blue eyes and was also deeply tanned. The men were polite but very insistent about one thing: they wanted every shred of information about the girl's experience. Neither parent could explain why they allowed their children to be so intensely grilled by these "government agents." The men moved about the house with apparently total knowledge of the contents of the rooms, the placement of furniture and other objects. Their clothing looked as if it had been newly purchased and the bottoms of their shoes were unscuffed. When the mystery men left they backed their vehicle out onto the roadway, turned off their headlights, and powered away down the road. At one point one man was seen writing strange symbols in vertical columns, starting from the left, going down one column, up the next, and down the third. This was in a small booklet.

Event 27675 (8A4375EB)

Date: 1/29/1967
Description: At around 10:00 p.m. Mrs. Enid Campbell saw from her window in her home near Knox City, Missouri what at first looked like the full moon, but as it got closer she could see that it was a Saturn-shaped object, with the main body white in color like a frosted light bulb and a shiny gold horizontal ring around the center which had numerous round holes. The object came up to within several feet of her window before stopping, and through its semi-transparent material she could see a control panel with a lever on top, and two occupants, one seated at the panel, the other standing. They wore "shiny, silvery wetsuits." She called her sons Gene, age 18, and George, age 14, who came to the window in time to see the object as it rose and moved away. While it hovered nearby two smaller white luminous spheres approached and entered the craft through an opening, after which the holes in the central ring jetted out red fire. Then the object ascended vertically and disappeared. The snow on the ground under the spot where it had been hovering was melted, and the ground over which the object first approached the house failed to grow plants, while plants elsewhere grew normally.

They are able to remain stationary in the atmosphere or shoot along at 100,000 kilometers per hour. They move without producing the slightest sound, by creating around themselves a pneumatic vacuum that protects them from burning up in our stratosphere. Their craft have the mysterious capacity to vanish and reappear at will. Besides, they are able to affect our power resources, putting to a halt our electricity-generating plants, our radio stations, and our engines, without, however, leaving any permanent damage. So refined a technology can only be the fruit of an intelligence that is indeed far superior to ours.” The article is regarded in the West as the first-ever evidence that the Soviets are aware of UFO phenomena too.

Sanvitti estimates it is about 9 miles away, but it soon reaches the aircraft and hovers above it. The cabin lights dim, the plane’s compass fluctuates, and the radio gives off static. The UFO speeds away to the east, increasing its luminosity by 50%, but reappears 5 minutes later with another object. Both UFOs trail the aircraft until 5 minutes before it lands at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Callao.

Event 27715 (F9CB9D1A)

Date: 2/5/1967
Location: FRANCE, Sauvigny-les-Blois (Sauvigny le Bois?) (Yonne)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 9:45 PM, Mr. Monin was closing the gate to his property as he did every night. When he turned around, he saw a light without a visible source in front of him. The light was sweeping the horizon above the cemetery (60 meters away from him) and it was yellow. The light was coming in a straight line from the cemetery and was increasing in intensity: it was dazzling like a neon bar. The cemetery was lit up as if it were daytime. The witness then called his wife and 17-year-old granddaughter. They were all three on the porch looking. His wife was scared and almost immediately went back inside. As it approached, the object took shape: it was a cigar-shaped object, and no sound was heard. It stopped 35 meters away from the witnesses, directly above the garden. It began to swing in a pendulum motion, and the light was now reddish. No structure was visible. After swinging, the craft descended quickly in a vertical motion. As soon as it touched down, it emitted flames at each end. The right one was yellow and the left one was red. The right one gave off a blowtorch effect. The center of the object was red. On the right side, it sounded like burning brush, with crackling. The light was still blinding, and the object was about 20 meters long and 6-7 meters high. "Then, almost at the same time that we saw the flames appear, we noticed a being, a dwarf, no taller than 1 meter 10 or 1 meter 20. My granddaughter immediately went back inside and I followed her. I asked my wife to come out and see what was happening, but when I went back out I only saw a big red ball taking off. I only saw the little man for 2 or 3 seconds: he was quite big, as if he was wearing a suit. I can't say if he had arms and legs, because in that short time he didn't move." (L.D.L.N. "Mystérieuses Soucoupes Volantes" - ALBATROS-ETAPES 1973 - p. 54 to 57) Mr. and Mrs. Monin and their granddaughter experienced a fairly typical third kind encounter. An object shaped like a cigar lit up the environment, silently approached 25 meters away from the witnesses, oscillated and touched the ground. A dwarf in a suit came out. Then, back in their house, they saw a red ball form, take off, and move away in the sky. No trace was left.

Location: Hilliard, Ohio
Description: Evening. A young man in Hilliard, Ohio, hears a strange noise and a barking dog. He looks up and sees an object approaching at a low altitude over a road shoulder. It lands on three legs in a field. The object is egg- shaped and about 75 feet long and 45 feet high. An “elevator-like” shaft opens and beings emerge carrying small, circular balls that they place on the ground around the UFO. The human-like creatures appear to be waiting for something. Then a man approaches from across the field and talks to them, apparently by telepathy. The witness accidentally steps on a twig, and the beings hear it. One runs toward him and catches him by the back of the neck, leaving a burned wound. Another being comes and both drag him toward the object. As they get close, the beings look at each other, seemingly panic-stricken. They drop the witness, collect the balls, and run inside the UFO, which takes off.

Description: On this evening Timothy Johnson, a 14-year-old teenager in Hilliards, Ohio heard his dog barking and a strange noise, and then saw an 75-foot long ovoid object descend with tripod legs extended. The UFO had a rotating pattern of lights and came down to 30 feet over some railroad tracks, then landed near a school. It made a steady humming sound. From an elevator-like shaft came five or six tall, human-looking figures wearing black robes, who placed small spheres around the craft. A man walked up to them and appeared to speak with the entities. The teen was then noticed and the man ran after him, catching him by the back of the neck and causing burn marks. The man next dragged Timothy almost to the craft when his captors suddenly became panic-stricken, dropped him, hurriedly gathered up the spheres, and reboarded the craft, which took off rapidly.

Description: At 9:45 p.m. M. Louis Monin, age 49, was outside his house in Sauvigny-les-Bois, L'Yonne, France when he saw an intensely yellow luminous ovoid object coming at very low altitude over a nearby cemetery. He called his 17-year-old granddaughter Marie Solange to watch it. The fat cigar-shaped object approached, then oscillated and turned red-orange, and finally landed in Monin's garden, 110 feet away from them. It was about 60 feet long and 20 feet high. At each end of the cigar was a jet of "flames," directed obliquely downward, and a crackling noise could be heard. Next, a stout little man, 3.5-4.0 feet tall, appeared standing beside the object. Monin and his granddaughter immediately went back into the house to call his wife, but when the three of them came out again the little man was gone and the UFO now appeared as a red-luminous ball about 25 feet in diameter. This ball took off and was soon lost from view. The observation lasted five minutes, and no landing traces were found in the garden.

Description: 6:43 p.m. Mary McCarthy and five of her young nieces and nephews see a glowing object as they are eating dinner at their farm 3 miles south of Deep River, Ontario. The television immediately stops working properly. About a quarter of a mile away on a hill is a circular “craft” with a large core of dazzling, pulsating yellow lights in its center. From this core, red lights pulsate outward toward the rim, somewhat like neon lights. They have it in view for 40 minutes. After the object leaves, the TV starts working again. A Canadian Forces spokesperson says the lights were airplanes shooting flares in the area.

Event 27857 (74F9DF7C)

Date: 2/17/1967
Alternate date: 2/18/1967
Locations: Ware Road; Old Warren Road; Flynt Street; Palmer, Massachusetts; New Jersey
Description: Around 10:00 p.m. Contactee Stella V. Lansing takes motion picture footage on a borrowed Keystone 8mm Capri camera of some yellow-orange lights on Ware Road near the junctions of Old Warren Road and Flynt Street in Palmer, Massachusetts. Suddenly a white light shoots upward in a zigzag motion and she is able to film some of its maneuvers. Subsequent frames seem to show low-contrast images of four human-like beings apparently conversing. Lansing is later studied by New Jersey psychiatrist Berthold E. Schwarz, who finds her repeat UFO sightings, further UFO films, and photographs showing superimposed clock-like patterns a subject of some interest.

Event 27863 (B49BE6A2)

Date: 2/19/1967
Location: USA, Wharton
Description: (Translated from French) Among the dozens of witnesses: K.R. Miller and his wife, and Frank Jones, editor of the "Journal". Miller saw, from his car, a red light that was quickly approaching and losing altitude: he pulled his car to the side of the road. "The thing descended quickly, at the height of the telephone poles. It crossed the road in front of my car, 20 m away from us, just high enough to avoid the trees. It was an enormous circular craft that must have been 15 to 20 m in diameter. My wife and I had been able to see a row of lights of red, amber, blue and green colors, encircling the lower part of the craft. It had the shape of a bell, or a cup topped with a dome, we couldn't tell exactly because of the dazzling light emitted by some kind of white beacon at its upper part. I then saw two similar lights in the distance and drove towards Lane City and called Frank Jones. Miller, who had served for 4 years in the Air Force, added: "These things didn't look like anything I had seen. The one that passed over the road made no sound, no air turbulence, although its speed seemed to be around 120 km/h. I was able to see a large opening lit up at its upper part, above the craft's rotating beacons". (February 19, 1967)

Two 12-year-old boys in Bunkie, Louisiana saw two points of light with tails moving in spurts through the sky for about ten minutes at 1:30 a.m. At eleven o'clock in the morning, an engineer named Scott sighted a round, luminescent object the size of a dime at arm's length flying in a "lazy, lackadaisical manner" for 40 seconds in Newburgh, New York. A resident of Topeka, Kansas noticed a wide top-shaped UFO with red and blue body lights at 7:05 p.m. local time. The sighting lasted three minutes, and he noted that there was electrical interference on his television at the time. Less than 15 minutes later, at 8:19 EST, a multicolored oval object with red and green lights and a bright white light in the middle, made a ninety degree turn in the sky and then shot out over a road in Grand Haven, Michigan. It stopped in place, then shot away at a speed that was too fast to follow with the eye. At 7:30 p.m. MST in Vernal, Utah a luminous orange dome-shaped object, blue-green and with occasional red flamelike lights on the underside, dipped low and then disappeared over a hill after more than 30 minutes. In Port McNeill, British Columbia at 7:30 p.m. PST four witnesses named Flick, Harrison, and Siemens watched a large, bright, oval-shaped UFO that was white on top and blue on the bottom. They viewed it through a 45x telescope for several minutes. It later changed color to a bright red as it went straight, left, right, and disappeared and reappeared several times. Finally, at nine p.m. MST a cigar-shaped object briefly hovered over a hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. It was white on top and red on the bottom, and made a sound like a siren.

Event 27978 (FA7D113E)

Date: 3/1967
Locations: Cuba; South America; Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami–Dade County, Florida; Fort George G. Meade in Maryland
Description: Cuban air defense radar controllers report a UFO approaching Cuba from the northwest, moving at 660 mph at an altitude of 33,000 feet. Two MiG-21s are scrambled and are guided to within 3 miles of the object. The flight leader radios in that the UFO is a bright metallic sphere with no visible markings. He is unable to establish radio contact with it and Cuban air defense orders him to shoot it down. The flight leader reports that his radar is locked and missiles ready. Seconds later, a wingman screams into the radio that the flight leader’s MiG has disintegrated. The UFO then accelerates and climbs above 90,000 feet, heading towards South America. The US 6947th Security Squadron headquartered at Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami–Dade County, Florida, is monitoring the incident and sends a report to the NSA at Fort George G. Meade in Maryland. NSA orders the squadron to ship all tapes and data to them and list the airplane loss as “equipment malfunction.” The details sound like it might be the CIA’s Oxcart A-12, the Air Force version of which is the SR-71, which are known to overfly Cuba.

Date: 3/1/1967
Description: DeWitt Baldwin was raccoon hunting at night in the woods near Eden, New York when he heard a noise like buzzing bees around 1:30 a.m. He flashed his flashlight on a gold colored, unlighted saucer-shaped object that had landed on the ground. A sliding door opened and a man emerged, dressed in a black, tight-fitting suit and wearing a helmet with goggles. He asked the witness some questions, such as what he was doing there at that hour and where he had been born. He then took Baldwin's gun, looked at it and then handed it back. Baldwin claimed the humanoid broke the muzzle of the gun while examining it. Baldwin said, "He wasn't white and he wasn't black. He talked very plainly and with no accent. He had black curly hair." He told me he would be back, walked up to the saucer, got in and seconds later zipped off out of sight. No footprints or landing imprints were found in the snow where the object had rested.

Event 28033 (C7379F42)

Date: 3/5/1967
Location: USA, Huntington (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) At the beginning of March 1965, likely the 5th, a Red Cross car was driving through towns to collect blood from volunteer donors, on Highway 2 near the Ohio River. Suddenly, a large, shining object descended above the vehicle and lowered two long tentacles, like arms, on either side of the car. The driver, 21-year-old Beau Shertzer, was extremely frightened and accelerated. But the object followed, and the arms seemed to want to grab the entire car. Fortunately, a number of vehicles came in the opposite direction. When they appeared, the craft retracted its tentacles and fled. An nurse was in the Shertzer car and she was extremely excited when they arrived in Huntington. (March 5, 1967)

Event 28044 (B6930153)

Date: 3/5/1967
Location: Lövåsen, Vilhelmina, Sweden
Description: 1:25 a.m. Lenny and Tommy Söderström are returning home to their farm in Lövåsen, Vilhelmina, Sweden, when they notice a “spaceship” behind a barn. They rush inside and wake their parents and a sibling. Looking through the kitchen window, they see a dark, cigar-shaped object, 82–130 feet wide, silhouetted against the sky. Wobbling slightly on its axis, it hovers 24 feet in the air. After someone turns on the kitchen light, the UFO shoots off toward the north, emitting a whistling sound, as a smaller object appears from behind it. This UFO is a silvery globe about 20–40 feet in diameter; it turns and approaches the farmhouse. When it passes above a power line, it stops and hovers for 4 minutes. It takes off toward the northeast.

Description: 12:30 a.m. Lucille Drzonek and her daughters, ages 24 and 17, are driving northwest on US Highway 20 just past Keeneyville, Illinois. Their beagle is with them. They see a solid object, estimated at 15 feet in diameter, outlined in bright white lights and with two big beams in front. As it nears the ground it takes on a disc shape and begins flashing red and green lights. The beagle is so frightened that its hair stands up straight on its back. As they turn off the highway toward Bartlett, Illinois, the object descends into a woods, lighting the trees with a red glare. It projects two white light beams into the rear window of their car. As they pull into their home, the UFO is hovering about 10 feet above a tree in their yard. A strange, localized gray mist appears and when it dissipates the UFO is gone. The beagle is visibly upset for the next two days. A veterinarian suggests he might have heard a noise inaudible to humans.

Description: (Translated from French) RR2, around 01:05 - 2 witnesses, husband and wife, painter and hairdresser (William Wallace and his wife). As they drove along the cemetery which seemed to be covered in a blanket of fog, although the night was particularly clear. They suddenly noticed a light. Thinking that a fire was burning in the cemetery and that the fog was the smoke coming from it, they turned around and came back. Having done so, he lowered his windows and leaving the road, he drove along the cemetery towards the light which was just above. He got out of the car, closed the door (the window remained lowered, and raised his arm to point to the object. Several events happened simultaneously then: all the car lights, the radio and the engine stopped working, he felt an electric shock, felt numb and unable to move. The arm he had raised was suddenly thrown back against the roof of the car with such force that it was imprinted in the glass that covered it. Mr. W. could no longer move a muscle, yet he heard perfectly and his brain seemed to function normally. Then the radio and the car lights came back on while the object, which had not stopped swaying, suddenly climbed emitting a kind of buzzing and was lost above the blanket of fog.

Description: 1:05 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. William L. Wallace are returning home to Leominster, Massachusetts, when they pass through a dense fog near St. Leo’s Cemetery and notice a bright light on the left. Wallace turns the car around and heads back for a closer look. The glow is from a light that is hovering 400–500 feet above the cemetery. Intrigued, Wallace places the car in neutral, pulls the emergency brake, and steps outside. As he points toward the light, something pulls his arm back and drops it on the roof of the car, which then stalls and the electrical system goes out. He remains immobile for more than 30 seconds even as his wife is trying to pull him back. As the lights and radio come back on, the UFO rocks back and forth, rises with a humming sound, and disappears. Wallace goes back into the car, which now starts normally. Wallace still feels “slow and sluggish” on the drive back, and he collides with the garage door as he pulls into his driveway. They return to the cemetery 10 minutes later, but the fog is gone.

Date: 3/8/1967
Description: Mr. and Mrs. Wallace were driving in Leominster, Massachusetts at 1:05 in the morning when they noticed an unusual light flying over a nearby cemetery. They drove closer to investigate and saw the UFO surrounded by a heavy fog or mist. They described the object as a bright bluish-white, glowing dome-shaped object that was hovering low to the ground with a rocking, pendulum motion. The rim of the object glowed as bright as an acetylene torch. The car's engine, lights, and radio failed. Mr. Wallace got out of the car and felt his arm tugged by some force against the body of the car. He felt tingling electric shocks and felt paralyzed in close presence to the object. The UFO wobbled, hummed, and then shot up vertically into sky.

Event 28110 (FAEEA988)

Date: 3/9/1967
Description: (Translated from French) The men of Detachment A of the 6947th Security Squadron (charged with monitoring Cuban Air Force communications) based at Key West Naval Air Station in Boca Chica Key, about 150 km from Cuba, suddenly heard Cuban radar controllers report the approach, at 10,000 m altitude and Mach 1 (a little over 1050 km/h) of an unidentified aircraft from the northeast. Immediately, 2 MIG-21 fighters were sent to intercept the intruder. The 2 pilots soon discovered a shiny metal sphere devoid of any identification marks. After exhausting radio contact attempts, the Cuban Air Defense Headquarters ordered the mission leader to destroy the UFO. He then confirmed that the target was being tracked by his firing radar and that he had armed his missiles. These were his last words. A few seconds later, the other pilot began to scream into his microphone that the MIG-21 had exploded, or rather, he specified a moment later, had suddenly disintegrated without fire or smoke. The Americans of Boca Chica Key then heard the Cuban radar controllers announce that, following an incredible acceleration, the UFO had suddenly risen to nearly 30,000 m and had disappeared in the direction of South America. The NSA under the operational control of which the Air Force Security Service units are located then demanded that all documents related to the accident be sent to it within the hour and that it be immediately recorded in the surveillance unit's archives as due to a mechanical malfunction. The case remained secret until 1978, when one of the witnesses of Boca Chica Key --- whose anonymity is protected --- revealed it to Stanton Friedman.

Event 28111 (3B653F8C)

Date: 3/9/1967
Description: (Translated from French) A Red Cross car travelling through towns to collect blood from volunteer donors passes on Highway 2, near the Ohio River (USA). Suddenly, a kind of star quickly descends towards it and places itself just above the vehicle. It lowers two long tentacles, in the shape of arms, on each side of the car, even though the driver accelerates. The arms seem to want to grab the car. The machine finally retracts its arms, probably due to cars coming in the opposite direction. It then disappears into the sky at a prodigious speed.

Description: Two men were driving in a remote part of Piggott, Arkansas when their truck's engine failed. Before they could get out of the vehicle to investigate they saw a 50-foot wide saucer shaped object descend to the ground in front of them. Two bizarre looking "aliens" emerged from the object and walked over to their truck. The humanoids were described as of average human height, but with large heads that were flat in the back, and gray in color. They had normal eyes, noses, and mouths. They also wore tight-fitting gray diver's suits. The men felt like they were being bombarded with vibrations and had the uncanny feeling that the aliens knew what they were thinking. Rolling down the truck windows, the men spoke to one of the aliens, who reportedly told them that they meant them no harm and they could continue on their journey if they promised to keep this meeting a secret.

On a country road one mile west of town they see four blinding, fluorescent-green lights low above the road ahead. As they are driving up a hill, the car engine stops. Frightened, they let the car coast back down the hill, and the engine starts again. The witnesses disagree on the size, shape, and altitude of the lights.

Event 28166 (549FD21B)

Date: 3/12/1967
Description: Four boys, Bob & John Kangas, Mike Kauppi, and Scott Mackay, ages 9-12, were riding on a snowmobile in Palo, Minnesota at 2:15 p.m. when they saw a very bright light coming from an old abandoned hayshed, and a second beam of light about 100 yards away in an open field. Near the latter were 5 moving black "objects" about three to four feet high, arranged in a diamond formation with a fifth at the center. These "objects" or beings seemed to glide over the deep snow, then moved toward the beam of light and when they reached it, both the light and the "objects" faded out of sight. The boys headed for the nearest house, "visibly shaken, almost to the point of hysteria." Two footprints of an unidentifiable shape were found later at the site.

Date: 3/12/1967
Description: At 7:15 p.m. in McIntosh, South Dakota a single witness saw an object with red, green, and white lights. After he reported the incident, four young men went to the area to investigate. They saw four green lights hovering low over the road, but the engine of their car stalled as they approached. Because their car had stalled on a hill, they turned the car around and coasted downhill. The car re-started then, so they drove away without investigating further.

Event 28168 (F67C98AC)

Date: 3/12/1967
Description: Clyde L. Dwyer observed a large disc-shaped object from a window in his South Glenn Falls, New York home at 10:30 p.m. It was approximately 100 feet in diameter and hovered motionless 175-200 yards southeast of his home. Three large square windows were spaced around the midline of the object and just below these, jets of what appeared to be steam were emitted continually from a number of equidistant points around the object. Its dark mass was illuminated by a nearby street lamp. A white light shone from the windows, and two men and a woman could be seen in the central window, with two more men standing behind the window to the right. Although no distinguishing characteristics could be seen, "these figures were definitely of human appearance." After hovering for about five minutes, the object gradually departed toward the southwest. No sound was heard at any time.

Event 28216 (5CE814F7)

Date: 3/20/1967
Location: Butler, Pennsylvania
Description: 11:00 p.m. A man and his daughter living in Butler, Pennsylvania, take the car out to go looking for lights his wife had seen in the sky earlier. After stopping with the car lights off for a while, he sees two yellowish-white globes of light at 200 feet altitude, which start moving toward the car in a parallel course. The objects descend a quarter mile away, then shoot toward the witnesses at 70–80 mph. The daughter hears a “chorus of voices” in her head saying “don’t move” repeatedly. The man switches on the headlights, the lights disappear, and the voices stop. Moments later, 10 feet from the car, they see five figures standing in an irregular semicircle. The man gets into the car but the daughter continues staring at the figures, which have slits for eyes and mouths. All have long blond hair and are wearing something like baseball caps. They wear loose-fitting clothing. The witnesses drive away quickly and go to their minister’s home.

Date: 3/24/1967
Locations: Malmstrom AFB; Roy, Montana; Launch Control Center; SAC USAF 341st Strategic Missile Wing; Boeing's Seattle plant
Description: Late evening. An airman with the Malmstrom AFB Oscar-Flight Launch Control Center for the SAC USAF 341st Strategic Missile Wing south of Roy, Montana, sees a star-like object zigzagging high above him. Soon, a larger and closer light appears and behaves similarly. He calls his NCO and the two men watch as the lights streak through the sky, maneuvering in impossible ways. The NCO phones his commander, 1Lt. Robert Salas, who is below ground in the LCC. Salas is dubious and tells them to let him know if they get any closer. A few minutes later the NCO calls him again and shouts that a red, glowing UFO is hovering outside the front gate. Salas tells him to make sure the site is secure while he phones the command post. Meanwhile, one of the guards is injured when he approaches the UFO and has to be evacuated by helicopter. As Salas briefs Lt. Fred Meiwald, an alarm rings through the small LCC and both men see a “no-go” light turn on for one of the missiles. Within seconds, 4– 7 more Minutemen nuclear ICBMs go offline in succession. The USAF investigation includes full-scale tests on- site, as well as lab tests at Boeing’s Seattle plant. No cause for the shutdown can be found.

Event 28286 (28DC7A73)

Date: 3/26/1967
Description: (Translated from French) In New Mexico, a witness observed this amazing thing: A small silver white disc of unknown diameter, at an unknown altitude, but with a definite material existence; while we watched, it first appeared stationary for about 10 minutes. Then it crossed the sky, seemed to pass under the clouds and finally disappeared into the white clouds. No sound was detected..

Event 28287 (24C0F8CC)

Date: 3/26/1967
Description: (Translated from French) 5 people saw a UFO in the sky of Ohio: The object was oval-shaped and was heading straight from the Southeast to the Northwest. The UFO, or whatever it was, passed over the road we were driving on. The sun, very bright, was reflecting off the object which was metal, but not aluminum-colored like airplanes - I would say it was more the color of yellow or red copper. What was propelling the object, we don't know, but we didn't hear any sound.

Event 28299 (BAB87839)

Date: 3/26/1967
Description: The Bailey and Lore families had observed UFOs in the area of their homes in Minitare, Nebraska on several occasions. On the evening of March 26 at around 7:30 p.m., Robert Lore and Cecil Bailey drove north of their farms to look for lights that looked like they had landed on an isolated section of farmland. The two men drove past a man in white coveralls standing alone by the side of the road. Their dog was riding in the car, and it "really kicked up a fuss" and appeared to be terrified. When the men got home the lights were once more visible in the sky. One particular bright light was strong enough to light up the hill behind it. When they returned to the site where they had seen the stranger the next day, they found numerous nearly rectangular footprints, some of them 9.75 inches long and others 8.5 incheslong.

Description: (Translated from French) A student from Gy in the canton of Geneva observed on March 29, 1967 between 19:30 and 20:00 an elliptical object of dark yellow color "like a storm-cloud" which moved more slowly than an airplane above the Jura, at an estimated altitude of 2300 to 3000 meters, and whose apparent diameter was that of a fist. The sky was starry, and the wind was nil. "I was coming out of my house. I saw this craft moving towards the northwest. Once it arrived above the Jura, it stopped for 3 or 4 seconds, then it went towards Geneva for 15 seconds; it went in reverse, it stopped in the same place as the first time; it continued its route in the opposite direction to Geneva, then it returned to its stopping point. Then it returned towards the southeast for 15 seconds, then it went towards the Jura behind which it disappeared. The object seemed to turn on itself. It had a small notch on each side (above and below)."

Event 28305 (1C28EC2B)

Date: 3/28/1967 (approximate)
Location: USA, Munroe Falls (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) David Moran (Morris?), in a car, was returning home from work when he saw a glow from the other side of the hill. He arrived at the crest around 2:20am and saw the outline of an object shaped like a cone at 25 or 30 yards, to the left in a field. It appeared as a triangle 7 to 8 meters high and 3 to 4 meters wide. At the top there was a ball. His curiosity turned to horror when he saw five creatures running quickly towards him on the road. He put his foot down and in the beams of his headlights he saw that the creatures were luminous, red-orange, like the object in the field. He couldn't stop in time, heard a thud, and hit one of the creatures. He didn't dare stop, but looking in the rearview mirror, he saw nothing on the road (nothing lying down) behind him, except the whole group, running in a disordered way. (APRG, on the Internet in May 1997) It could be 13 meters high and its base must be 7 meters. It is cone-shaped and glowing red. (1967, March 28 (or 30?))

Locations: Munroe Falls, Ohio; Kent
Description: 2:25 a.m. Electrical worker David Morris, 20, is driving home to Munroe Falls, Ohio, from nearby Kent when he sees a glowing red-orange object shaped like an inverted cone hovering just above the ground. The object is about 12 feet wide at the base and 25 feet high, with a ball-shaped object at its top. Looking at the road ahead, Morris sees four or five large-headed humanoids moving rapidly back and forth about 50 feet ahead. He slams on his brakes, but it is too late. He feels a thump against the right front corner of his car and sees an arm with a thumbless mitten fly up, then down. The car stops 10 feet later; Morris thinks about providing assistance, but the otherworldliness of the situation causes him to get away quickly. In his rearview mirror he sees a group of the entities position themselves around something lying on the ground. In the morning, Morris finds three dents in the front bumper and right headlight ring of his car.

Event 28309 (0F305421)

Date: 3/28/1967
Location: Colorado
Description: A second briefing for Robert Low by NORAD analysts effectively diverts researcher attention away from NORAD’s 500 defense radars and onto its useless handful of space defense satellite-tracking radars and cameras (referred to as “spacetrack” and are the least likely to detect UFOs). Low tries to find out if NORAD can help with identifying satellites that might be misreported as UFOs and whether NORAD can’t track a UFO entering the atmosphere from outer space (or just aren’t), but the analysts are evasive. NORAD says its satellite-tracking radars (with non-ballistic maneuvering and erratic flight paths) actually can “see” UFOs, but no one will ever know because the data that does not fit satellite or ballistic trajectories are thrown out automatically by system computers. No mention is made of NORAD’s high priority for not ignoring unpredictable, UFO-like maneuverable cruise missiles or hypersonic space planes. This discussion is distributed as a briefing paper to all Colorado project members on June 6, including Condon.

Event 28331 (DA084698)

Date: 4/1967
Location: FINLAND, Bottom Bay
Description: (Translated from French) Elis Grahn was walking in the forest at night and glanced up at the clear, beautifully starry sky. Motionless and silent, a few hundred meters above the treetops, there was a luminous disc about three times the size of a full moon, deep green and red inside. Boys from the village arrived and were also witnesses. Soon the thing began to rotate on its axis, becoming uniformly greenish-white. Grahn ran to get binoculars and returned with his wife. The disc had moved a bit and was still shining, although its outlines were less clear. Then he soon noticed that near the edges he could see the stars through the object, while the center remained opaque. The strange disc then began to slowly disappear, maintaining the same position. It lost its consistency after a few minutes, and everything had disappeared. Independently, a couple of motorists had seen the disc vanish with the same vaporous aspect. (April 1967)

Event 28354 (089D3D15)

Date: 4/2/1967
Description: Late on this night in Medina, New York Miss Shane Kurz, who had been observing UFOs maneuvering in the skies for the past several nights, had gone to bed after seeing another one. She suddenly felt paralyzed, and then lost track of time. She remembers a bright light outside her window and a loud humming sound. Her next memory is waking up with her foot covered with mud, her eyes swollen shut, and a triangular shaped burn mark on her abdomen. Later under hypnosis, she remembered being somehow taken into an ovoid metallic gray craft with lights around a revolving rim. She found herself inside an octagon-shaped room with lights that seemed to emanate from all around her. She was then placed on a black slab like table and was unable to move. Later she saw a being with an oval-shaped face, very light skin, and large black almond shaped eyes. The being communicated with her, apparently by using telepathy, and told her she would not be harmed.

Event 28356 (CC618DA6)

Date: 4/4/1967
Description: (Translated from French) CADILLAC (AP) - Police reported a rush of sightings of unidentified flying objects in a three-county area in northwest Michigan Friday night. A Cadillac police officer and others reported the sightings to Traverse City in Grand Traverse County, Reed City in Osceola County and Cadillac in Wexford County. Cadillac is roughly halfway between Traverse City and Reed City, a distance of about 100 miles. The reports came three days after similar reports in Grand Haven on Lake Michigan and hours after a Northwestern University investigator left Michigan after examining the Grand Haven reports. "I saw something, but I don't know what it was," said Cadillac patrolman Harry Hagstrom. Hagstrom said the object was bright white and appeared in a clear sky over Lake Cadillac. He said two other police officers verified the sighting. "It seemed to change directions," Hagstrom said. "Up, down, left, right and then it stayed stationary for a moment. It was bright white the first time I saw it, but the color faded to a duller white, then red, then green. It was a very clear night and all the stars were bright," he added, "But I'm sure it wasn't a star. Other than that, I don't know what it was." William T. Powers, a member of Dr. J. Allen Hynek's team at Northwestern University, Evanston (Illinois), was in Grand Haven most of Friday investigating the Grand Haven sightings. Dr. Hynek was commissioned by the Air Force to conduct an independent investigation of such sightings. (April 4)

Description: 7:45 p.m. Justice of the Peace John H. Demler is driving north on State Highway 72 just south of Lickdale, Pennsylvania, when his car’s engine sputters and stops and the lights go out. He sees an object approaching about 20 feet above the road. It is about 30 feet across and looks like “it had lights in back of a painted black glass.” It flies over the car as Demler lowers his window and he notices a smell of sulfur and oil. It emit a sound like an electric motor, which grows louder as it leaves the area. The UFO shoots off sparks similar to that of “grinding on an emory wheel.” The UFO comes to a stop alongside the car, tilts, starts off slowly, then puts on such a terrific burst of speed that Demler and his automobile seem to be pulled to it. The car settles down so fast that he is moved all the way across the front seat. When he looks up again, the object has “turned to a bluish tinge” and is far in the distance. The next day, the skin on his hands and feet begin to peel and Demler is a nervous wreck. His coworkers confirm he is in a state of physical or psychological shock for many hours.

Date: 4/11/1967
Description: On this day a cigar-shaped object with bright red and white lights was sighted at Chemong Lake, Ontario. It made a humming noise. At 6:45 p.m. in Orange, Massachusetts three witnesses saw a bright glowing object shaped like a "squashed egg." It hovered 100 feet over a pond, and then shot off. It had a rotating red light on the bottom. Five minutes later, at 6:50 p.m. a mass of very bright lights descended and hovered in Royalston, Massachusetts before moving out of sight on an upward course. The lights were brighter than the Moon, which was visible during the sighting. At 9:33 p.m. Carol Watts had his second close encounter with UFO entities. An egg-shaped object stalled his truck as he was driving in Loco, Texas. Four beings, under five feet tall and with wrap around eyes, slit mouths, and white coveralls emerged and invited him aboard. He was given some kind of exam onboard the craft by a machine.

Date: 4/13/1967
Description: Two young boys saw a dark gray object overhead at sunset in Sjaellands, Denmark. One ran home while the other hid in a ditch. The UFO descended and put out three legs as if to land, but then retraced them and moved out over the Kattegat. As it passed over the shore it threw out some "boxes." Hovering low over the water, the object lowered a box on an arm-thick cable, and eight small humanoid figures emerged from the large object and descended on the cable. They were the same size as the boy and all but one wore striped suits and had scuba like packs on their backs. The eighth UFOnaut wore a blue uniform and had no pack. They all had on striped caps and lights on their shoulders, and carried objects that looked like binoculars or cameras. They waved to the boy before the object disappeared. A lump of strange material was later found on the shore. When it was analyzed it was found to be an unprecedented mixture of substances.

Description: (Translated from French) RR1 9:00 PM - 4 witnesses: duration 10 to 15 minutes. "I was on my way home from a Parent-Teacher Association meeting; it was night and I was driving through the countryside on a small road, thinking about the blackboard the association had promised to provide for the school. Suddenly I noticed a light above the hill and I thought, there's one of those old planes that has gone off course and is going to land in that cornfield. (...) And then this incredible object - which had a bit of the shape of a World War I helmet - passed over the hill. So I slowed down. I couldn't understand how an airplane could follow a gliding trajectory - when this huge object, which I estimate was over 90 meters long, detached itself from the hill and stayed above me for a fraction of a second, like an aircraft changing direction. Then it headed for the airfield. It was a terribly bright light. The roof of the car didn't even seem to be a screen anymore. When I looked at my friends, it was like an X-ray photo. "So I went to the airfield. Oh, I didn't have to say anything to the people on the ground. They had seen it. Two lawyers from Kansas City were still standing there, their mouths wide open in amazement. It had practically flown over the airfield. The unglazed control tower had not yet been warned. They were busy with the arrival of an Ozark. The Ozark pilot said when announcing his landing: "I see it, it's below me, it's huge". (April 17, 1967)

Galimberti and another crew member saw what appeared to be bright multi-colored lights about 120 meters away from the tracks. Thinking it was a fire, Galimberti stopped the train and both men attempted to approach the scene, armed with fire extinguishers. When they got close to the area they saw the multicolored lights moving around in a circular motion, and then both observed a square metallic object over three meters in width behind the lights. It had several lighted windows around its edge. At the front the UFO had what appeared to be a "rotating wheel" that emitted multicolored light flashes. Several short humanoid beings were seen walking around the object. They wore silvery gray shiny uniforms, appeared to be bareheaded, and carried what resembled "rifles" or weapons on their shoulders. The witnesses used the train horn to check for a reaction from the creatures but there was none. Another railway employee, Salvador Pomidoro, reported seeing the same square metallic object on the ground about 15 minutes earlier.

At the moment when the distance between them and the object seemed the shortest, the latter no longer shone but appeared clearly and distinctly defined, lenticular in shape and of a muted amber color, like the yellow of flashing lights but more attenuated. (...) Object: ovoid, with objects embedded on the entire surface like car headlights, each sending a beam of white light, so that the device seemed bristling with rays of light diffusing in all directions. Then it had the appearance of an ovoid object of amber color. (April 21, 1967)

Event 28488 (E27765B8)

Date: 4/21/1967
Location: USA, South Hill (Virginia)
Description: (Translated from French) On April 21, Mr. Crowder had left the store of his company around 9 pm. When he reached a turn in the paved road, he discovered an obstacle that looked like an orange metal tank, at least 4 m in diameter, resting on legs about one meter high and without any openings or particular features. It was just an object resembling a tank that blocked the way. When he got to about 60 m from the thing, Crowder flashed his headlights. At that moment, in a brilliant blaze emitted from its base, the object rose quickly into the air. It had gone off like lightning, but Crowder had seen it in his headlights. It was 5 to 6 m high. The blazing breath from its base had set the asphalt on fire. When the police arrived at the scene with Crowder, they found a 90 x 75 cm plate still hot from the fire. The next morning, four holes about 18 mm deep and 12 mm wide were found in the asphalt, forming a rectangle about 5 m long.

Description: Robert J. Low issues a position paper that outlines, after months of discussions and briefings, a framework for the Colorado project’s goals and procedures. It includes acquiring data on new cases, contracted reviews on such special topics as radar and mirages, a special section on photo cases, and a statistical treatment of bulk data. He divides the research question into three tiers: “Are there really sightings that are unexplained?” “Are any of these external stimuli solid objects?” and “Are any of these objects extraterrestrial spaceships?” He asks the group to discuss criteria for answering those questions.

Event 28510 (3FA0F58D)

Date: 4/21/1967
Locations: South Hill, Virginia; Northwestern University
Description: 8:55 p.m. Clifton N. Crowder, manager of the Mobil Chemical Company warehouse in South Hill, Virginia, leaves the warehouse and starts home. About 50–75 yards down a narrow asphalt highway his headlights fall on an object 400 feet away on the road ahead. It is pewter-colored, shaped like a storage tank, about 12 feet in diameter, and 15–16 feet high. It is standing on legs about 3–3.5 feet long. He switches to his bright lights and the object belches a white burst of flame from the bottom and ascends rapidly. Meanwhile, the road is on fire. After it dies out, Crowder drives to South Hill and contacts police. They return and find a kidney-shaped black spot on the road, about 3 feet wide at the widest point. William T. Powers, assistant to J. Allen Hynek of Northwestern University, arrives on the scene to examine the spot. Using kerosene, gasoline, and a blowtorch, he attempts to simulate the black spot, but has no luck. Where each leg of the machine rested he finds two spike holes, similar to those made by football cleats. They are about 6 inches apart, 7/8 inch in diameter, and about one inch deep. The four feet are about 11.5–12 feet apart and the diagonals are 16 feet 1 inch and 16 feet 6 inches, respectively. Powers concludes that the center of gravity is above the firepoint and notes that the intersections of the diagonals deviate 2 degrees from 90°.

The deputy found nothing, but the witness came upon the craft resting on small legs in a marshy area. Standing next to it was a medium sized man. He called out "hello" but got no response; he then repeated the greeting and this time received a mental warning, "Get away from here!" He turned and fled to his car, badly frightened and in an agitated state. When he returned home he told his wife about his encounter.

Description: At the annual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington, D.C., James E. McDonald says of Donald Menzel, “when he comes to analyzing UFO reports, he seems to calmly cast aside well-known scientific principles almost with abandon, in an all-out effort to be sure that no UFO report survives his attack.” He also says, “I have learned from a number of unquotable sources that the Air Force has long wished to get rid of the burden of the troublesome UFO problem and has twice tried to ‘peddle’ it to NASA—without success.”

Locations: US; Maj. Rolando Cubela Secades
Description: After reading a March 7 column by Drew Pearson that alleges the US attempted to assassinate Fidel Castro, President Johnson directs CIA Director Richard Helms to conduct an investigation. The result is a 133-page report by CIA Inspector General John S. Earman, transmitted on April 24 to Helms, that clearly shows the CIA was in contact with and cooperated with Maj. Rolando Cubela Secades of the Cuban military in plans to assassinate Castro. The operation is known as Project AMLASH. After receiving the report, Helms orally briefs the President about its contents. According to his testimony before the Select Committee, when asked if he has told the President “that efforts to assassinate Fidel Castro had continued into Johnsonʼs presidency, Helms replied, ‘I just can’t answer that, I just don’t know. I can’t recall having done so.’”

Date: 4/28/1967
Location: Brixham, Devon, England
Description: 11:30 a.m. Brian F. Jenkins and seven other coast guards at Brixham, Devon, England, watch a huge, cone- shaped object through 25x binoculars mounted on a tripod. The object is hovering at 15,000 feet and seems to be revolving. Jenkins says the cone is pointing down, and the object seems made of glass or highly polished metal: “Near the bottom there was a triangular-shaped opening or door with a white rim on the top that reflected a lot of sunlight. The bottom was crinkled, very white, and seemed to consist of strips of metal hanging down.” It drifts to the northwest, rising to 22,000 feet and 8 miles away. At 12:40 p.m., a jet aircraft approaches it, flies above it, passes it, turns, and approaches it from below before it disappears from sight. Possible balloon.

Event 28574 (B114E919)

Date: 5/1967
Locations: Vietnam; South Vietnamese
Description: The CIA launches the Phoenix Program in Vietnam to gather information on the Viet Cong, whose members would then be neutralized (captured, converted, or killed). Emphasis for the enforcement of the operation is placed on local government militia and police forces, rather than the military. Heavy-handed operations—such as random cordons and searches, large-scale and lengthy detentions of innocent civilians, excessive use of firepower, torture, and targeted killings—have a negative effect on the civilian population. Between 1968 and 1972, Phoenix “neutralizes” 81,740 people (26,369 are killed) suspected of belonging to the National Liberation Front. The reported torture is carried out by South Vietnamese forces with the CIA and special forces playing a supervisory role.

Location: Owatonna, Minnesota
Description: A man identifying himself as Maj. Richard French visits a woman in Owatonna, Minnesota, who has had a UFO encounter the previous November. He is 5 feet 9 inches with an olive complexion and hair too long for an Air Force officer. He is wearing a fashionable gray suit, white shirt, and black tie. At one point, French complains of stomach problems, and the woman recommends Jell-O. He says he will return if the symptoms persist, so he shows up the following morning. The woman sits him down with a bowl of Jell-O, which he tries to drink. “I had to show him how to eat it with a spoon,” the woman tells John A. Keel.

Date: 5/1967
Location: Madagascar
Description: 12:30–3:15 p.m. During a reconnaissance exercise in Madagascar, a detachment of 23 officers and men serving with the French Foreign Legion watch a bright object landing in a “falling leaf” motion. When it touches down on tripod legs, the glow dissipates. The egg-shaped craft is 23–26 feet high and has no visible markings except for openings at the base through which flames are visible. The witnesses seem paralyzed or at least extremely distracted while the UFO is on the ground. When they recover their senses, they find that 2.75 hours have elapsed. For 2 days afterward, they all have violent headaches, a buzzing in their ears, and a throbbing in their temples.

Date: 5/1/1967
Description: At 10 p.m. nine witnesses in Simoca, Tucuman province, Argentina, returning from a hunting expedition, were riding on a trailer being pulled by a tractor when they observed a very bright object in the sky that they first thought was the moon. The object emitted an intense orange-reddish light and approached rapidly at high speed. It briefly moved away, but returned when one of the men signaled at it with a flashlight. It then hovered over the tractor, swinging back and forth like a pendulum. It was a domed disc, shaped like to plates put together with a crystal-like dome on top. Around its edge they could see several square window-like openings, from which a bluish light emanated. They also saw the figure of a man come out of one of the windows, who then moved up to the dome and then climbed back down to the window and entered. Finally the UFO moved away, gaining altitude and disappearing at high speed.

Date: 5/5/1967
Locations: Roseville, Ohio; Alexandria, Virginia
Description: Condon, Low, Hartmann, Ratchford, and Charles Reed of the National Research Council are briefed by an unnamed specialist [probably Everitt L. Merritt of the Autometrics Division of the Raytheon Company of Alexandria, Virginia] at the NPIC on a photogrammetric analysis he had carried out on the November 1966 UFO photo case from Roseville, Ohio. The analysis debunks the photo. The committee is again impressed with the technical work performed, and Condon remarks that for the first time a scientific analysis of a UFO will stand up to investigation.

Event 28600 (A06F4388)

Date: 5/6/1967
Location: FRANCE, Champ du Feu (Schirmeck-Strassbourg)
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. and Mrs. Schirrmann, their son Jean-Luc (10 years old), and his friend Philippe Wassmer (11 years old) came to spend the weekend in the chalet at Champ du Feu. It was 7 pm, the occupants had finished dinner and were going out to the terrace to admire the sunset. The sky was very clear, without any clouds. Suddenly, a row of 7 or 8 well-aligned and equidistant objects appeared in the west-northwest, at a distance of about 2 km. Each object consisted of a dark part surrounded by a halo like a smoke ring. The objects seemed to be a few tens of meters above the woods and, since the terrain sloped in the direction of observation, their altitude was roughly the same as that of the witnesses (1000 m). In the minutes that followed their appearance, the objects slowly glided south towards the hamlet of Bellefosse. Suddenly they disappeared in place, then reappeared a little further south, dispersed and simultaneously ceased to be visible. To the west, where the objects had disappeared, the forest was all red as if on fire, although the sun had already set. Dozens of red spots were gently oscillating above the forest. Observed through binoculars, the trembling spots had shapes that evoked tomatoes or boxing gloves. It was past 8 pm, night was falling. The red spots also disappeared. Shortly after 9 pm, the four witnesses saw an enormous black object - or appearing black - in the shape of a lens with a diameter of 15 to 20 m, coming from the south, about a hundred meters from the chalet. In total silence, the saucer slowly approached the chalet. It was horizontal and a little higher than the witnesses, who could barely distinguish the underside. The saucer was now only 20 or 30 m from the chalet. Suddenly, a white-yellowish luminous ribbon appeared under the object. It seemed to end with a bulge and was animated by a movement that evoked a snake for Mr. Schirrmann and an octopus tentacle for Jean-Luc. After about ten seconds, the snake disappeared or went out. Mrs. Schirrmann left the terrace to go to the south-west facing kitchen, turned on the light and opened the window with the intention of closing the shutters, perhaps pushed by an instinctive desire to put something between the object and the witnesses. Yet, neither she nor her husband or the children were seized by panic. Suddenly, a luminous rod shot out from under the saucer, Mrs. Schirrmann screamed and called her husband, who joined her at the kitchen window, followed by the children. The saucer was there, motionless, a few meters from the chalet and at the height of the roof. A shiver ran through the Strasbourgers when a click or a slight sound was heard. Two luminous rods had joined the first. They were parallel to it, but while the first was whitish blue, the other two were greenish purple. Their sections were also different: the first rod was as thick as the thumb, the other two were finer like the little finger. These rods ended about 1 m from the ground. All three seemed to be in a non-vertical plane and were a few tens of centimeters apart. According to Mr. Schirrmann, the ends of the rods were cut off neatly like a sausage. Another curious luminous phenomenon is to be noted: on the ground, a white luminous band follows the shape of three sides of a trapezoid. This band is as wide as the hand. The three luminous rods point towards the inside of the trapezoid, whose two non-parallel sides end at the foot of the wall of the chalet. Perhaps the luminous band extended on the wall, perhaps it closed on itself? The witnesses did not lean out to observe the wall. The observation of these luminous phenomena lasted only about ten or fifteen seconds and everything disappeared or went out suddenly, with a sharp click. Mr. Schirrmann said: "I don't like this, let's go in!" and closed the window, then, driven by curiosity, returned to the terrace. The object slowly glided north, away from the house. The witnesses could then distinguish on its upper face, a greenish luminous cone. Suddenly, the object disappeared in place, still without any sound, while it was about a hundred meters from the chalet. It was a little after 10 pm, the witnesses went to bed.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 8:30 PM, Armand Chauvot was in the train coming from Paris. Through the left window he was looking at the scenery, to the right the sun was setting. At km 28, 150 m from the tracks, an object in the shape of a pyramid seemed to be resting on the path: the witness thought of jumping off the train to go and take a look, but he decided against it. The object was 1.5 m tall, the face turned towards the train was glowing red like resistors and crossed two thirds of the way up by a horizontal white line, glowing like a fluorescent tube. The posterior faces of the object were glowing with a pink luminescence, like opalescence.

He heard the bullets hit the metal, and the object took off at full speed. When he told his story at a nearby gas station, the attendant told him that around twenty testimonies had been recently recorded.

Event 28659 (5382107A)

Date: 5/13/1967
Location: USA, Colorado Springs (Colorado)
Description: (Translated from French) Panic on the landing field of Colorado Springs. A UFO flew over the airfield at less than 60 meters altitude. Radars recorded its passage. Case studied by the Condon Commission (pages 310 to 316 of the "report"). Conclusions of the Condon investigators: This case certainly constitutes one of the most singular radar detections ever recorded, and no conclusion is possible. (Charles GARREAU: "Flying Saucers: 20 Years of Investigations" - Mame 1971 - p. 58) (...) nothing appeared to the direct view, while the screens denounced the rapid movement of a voluminous object. The operators were too trained to confuse an echo with a real object. The flight characteristics could be those of an F 100 or an F 104. From the airport tower, the flight controllers were still trying to see the mysterious object when a Braniff airline plane landed. Almost instantly, the mysterious object still invisible to the naked eye came to the right. Now, according to the radar, it was flying over the field at less than seventy meters. This is a normal procedure for an approach without an actual landing. The craft passed about 2500 meters from the tower, still invisible, even with binoculars.

Locations: Arizona; St. George, Utah
Description: 1:43 a.m. Michael Campeadore is driving in Arizona about 17 miles southwest of St. George, Utah, when he hears a loud humming sound. After stopping the car and getting out, he notices a huge object, 45–50 feet in diameter, hovering 25–30 feet above him. He reaches into the car and gets a .25 caliber pistol, loads it, and fires point blank at the object. He hears the bullets hit and ricochet as they strike. Before he has finished the clip, the object begins moving off and disappears in seconds.

Event 28668 (13941CFB)

Date: 5/13/1967
Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado
Description: 4:40 p.m. An object is picked up on radar at the Colorado Springs, Colorado, airport. A Braniff flight is coming in for a landing on runway 35. The track of the object behaves like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected from the Braniff aircraft. The blip appears at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When the Braniff airliner touches down, however, the situation changes radically. The UFO blip pulls to the right (east) and passes over the airport at an estimated height of about 200 feet. The object track passes within 1.5 miles of the control tower. The object is not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. The Colorado project finds this to be one of the most puzzling radar cases on record.

Event 28670 (1EC16405)

Date: 5/13/1967
Description: At the Colorado Springs, Colorado airport an unidentified flying object was picked up on radar at 4:40 a.m. MDT. During this time a Braniff flight was coming in for a landing, and the track of the object behaved like a ghost echo, perhaps a ground return being reflected off the Braniff aircraft. The radar blip appeared at about twice the range of the Braniff blip. When Braniff touched down, however, the situation changed radically. The UFO pulled to the east (right) and passed over the airport at an indicated height of 200 feet. The object passed within 1.5 miles of the control tower, but was not visible even through binoculars by personnel in the control tower. This case was written up in the Condon report, and it was stated there: This must remain as one of the most puzzling radar cases on record, and no conclusion is possible at this time. It seems inconceivable that an anomalous propagation echo would behave in the manner described, particularly with respect to the reported altitude changes, even if AP had been likely at the time. In view of the meteorological situation, it would seem that AP was rather unlikely.

Date: 5/15/1967
Description: After attending an amateur astronomy club meeting, Benito Hamburgo Valenzuela returned to his home in La Paz, Baja California, Mexico at around 11:00 p.m. where he encountered a giant, nine foot tall man. The man had large blue eyes, red hair, and very large ears. He wore a tight fitting red coverall like garment with short sleeves, boots, and bracelets on both arms. On his chest he wore an insignia of white dots, and he wore a white cap on his head that looked nickel-plated. He also wore a wide belt, from which hung a small box with a small antenna. The collosus pulled up a large piece of wood and sat down on it. He greeted Hamburgo in slightly accented Spanish, and introduced himself as "Wirkle, Chief of the Guard." He answered Benito's questions, anticipating them before the witness actually spoke them. He said he was from a very distant "region" and that they were an advanced race, concerned about the misuse of atomic energy. When he left he refused to shake hands, explaining that contact with him would aggravate Benito's cardiac condition.

One object is confirmed by sporadic radar returns as at 12,000 feet, 11 miles away. Through 7 x 50 binoculars, the objects appear brilliant yellow with red lights across upper two-thirds, but to the naked eye, the colors blend to reddish-orange point sources. They pulsate with a 4.5-second period and an approximate 1:3 brightness ratio. The lower objects rise and fall near the horizon.

Location: CANADA, Falcon Lake
Description: (Translated from French) At 12:15, Steve Michalak (deceased at the end of 2000), of Polish origin, aged 52, a mechanic and prospector, saw two glowing objects flying at high speed. One of them blew away the vegetation when it landed, surrounded by incandescence. Steve observed it for 30 minutes before a door opened, revealing a violet inner light. He also noted a shrill sound and a smell like that of an overloaded electrical circuit. Approaching, the witness heard voices. When he touched the craft his rubber glove burned. He was blown away by the hot air when the object began to spin. The witness felt dizzy, suffered minor burns on his face, second and third degree burns on his chest, had frequent vomiting for four days and lost more than 10 kg. Diameter of the craft: 11 m, height 3 m, with a superstructure of 1 m. (Henry DURRANT: "The UFO File" - Laffont 1973 - pp. 73-74) Stephen Michalak approaches a 10 m diameter disc that has just landed nearby while a second UFO disappears into the sky. The craft buzzes, emits a bright light and seems to cool down. Michalak takes a look inside and touches the wall of the object, but his glove is burned. A hot breath ignites his clothes and makes him spin, then the craft takes off and disappears in a few moments. The victim will be hospitalized for his burns and various ailments, perhaps due to radiation. (Science et Vie, special edition 1997: 50 years of UFO, Atlas of Unsolved Cases, pp. 60 to 63) A young man suffers first degree burns after encountering a UFO landed on the ground.

Event 28718 (212056B0)

Date: 5/20/1967
Locations: Falcon Lake, Manitoba; Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg; Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota
Description: 12:15 p.m. Stefan Michalak is quartz prospecting near Falcon Lake, Manitoba, when he sees two red, glowing, cigar-shaped objects in the sky. One object begins to hover then move away, while the other lands on a large, flat rock 160 feet away. The landed object is more than 35 feet wide and 10 feet thick with a 3-foot high cupola. It goes through several color changes then appears like hot stainless steel with blinding purple-colored lights coming through slits in the cupola. It is making a whirring sound and warm air seems to be coming from it. Michalak sits and sketches the object for 30 minutes, then a small door opens on the side, revealing a lighted interior. Michalak walks to 60 feet away and hears voices inside. Thinking it is a US aircraft, he steps forward and shouts. “Okay, Yankee boys, having trouble? Come on out and we’ll see what we can do about it.” He says the same thing in five other languages. There is no response, so he puts green lenses over his glasses and looks inside, where he sees a series of flashing lights. He pulls his head back, noting that the wall is 18 inches thick. Almost immediately the opening closes. When his glove accidentally touches the surface, it burns and melts. The UFO angles upwards and he sees a 9-by-6 inch gridlike vent with a uniform pattern of small holes. A blast of hot gas erupts from the grid, searing his chest, sending him reeling backwards, and burning his shirt and undershirt. He rips the flaming clothing off just as the UFO ascends in a rush of air. It heads off to the west, the same direction the other UFO has gone. Michalak now has a headache and severe nausea, so he starts driving back to his motel. He eventually gets to Misericordia Hospital in Winnipeg and receives a sedative. His chest burn heals, but the gridlike burn lesions on his abdomen persist. The symptoms continue well into 1968, when Michalak visits the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, staying there 2 weeks and undergoing outpatient treatment. He relocates the landing site on June 30, 1967, and the RCAF visits it in July, noting a 15-foot circle of cleared vegetation on the flat rock. Michalak obtains metal samples of unknown provenance from the site in 1968.

One of them landed nearby, and blew up vegetation as it landed. It was surrounded by a glow, and he watched it for 30 minutes before a door opened, revealing a purple glow inside. A high-pitched humming sound and an odor resembling a burning electrical circuit were noted. Seeing no further activity Mr. Michalac approached the landed craft, but he then heard voices, and when he touched the craft he burned his rubber-coated glove, and he was blown backwards by a hot blast of air. The object then started spinning. The witness felt dizzy, suffered minor face burns, and second and third degree burns on his chest. He vomited frequently for the next four days, and was hospitalized, losing over 10 kilograms. The landed craft was estimated to be 11 meters in diameter and three meters tall, with a one meter high superstructure.

Description: Another landing took place near a farm outside Beausejour, Manitoba, about 45 miles from Winnipeg. A farm woman, who requests anonymity, was sitting on her front porch at 11:30 p.m. waiting for her husband to come home. She said she saw a brilliant red light with a smaller blue light beside it come toward her from the South. It illuminated the ground and appeared to land, whereupon she became frightened and went into the house. The next morning, she and her husband investigated the area where the object had apparently landed and found a semi circular area 90' x 150' in flames. The strange aspect of this case is that on the 15th of June, the area was still smouldering despite the fact that there had been considerable rain in the interim. Soil samples taken at the site yielded nothing.

He says that the Ummites (who have been supplying him with messages since 1965 describing in excruciating detail life on the planet Ummo, which revolves around a star 14.6 light years away) have given him a startling printed message predicting that a spacecraft will appear on the evening of June 1. The space people have supplied the exact geographical coordinates: the area of San José de Valderas, Madrid. All the Ummite messages, passed on to Sesma by his associates Enrique Villagrasa and Alicia Araujo, are usually postmarked in Madrid, but as time goes by, other postmarks indicate mailings from London, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, Yugoslavia, and Canada.

Description: (Translated from French) UMMO Affair. On May 20, 1967, the newspaper "Informaciones" of Alicante reported that between May 30 and June 2, a cosmic vessel would land in the vicinity of Madrid. The information came from a certain F. Sesma who claimed to have obtained it from an extraterrestrial friend. (A. SCHNEIDER-H. MALTHANER: "The Secret File of UFOs", ed. De Vecchi, 1978, pp. 173-182) At 8:20 pm, about a hundred people (vog: really a hundred? I could only count about a dozen, at most...) saw an enormous, lenticular, disc-shaped object with a luminous dome on its upper part, near the top of the Estramadure road. The observation lasted 12 minutes, the object remained motionless, oscillating slightly. On its underside it bore the symbol "UMMO" - photographed. In Santa Monica it is said to have landed and left "tubes" inside which a "plastic" material was found. (June 1, 1967)

Event 28792 (BEAAB057)

Date: 6/1/1967
Locations: Aluche, Madrid, Spain; San José de Valderas
Description: The UFO seen by José Luis Jordán Peña in Aluche, Madrid, Spain, allegedly reappears in the neighborhood of San José de Valderas. This time, Jordán Peña plays UFO investigator, taking statements from witnesses who describe a low-flying disc-shaped object with the same strange symbol on the underside. An anonymous man takes several photographs that he drops off at a photo lab on June 2. He then calls newspaper photographer Antonio San Antonio, telling him where to pick them up. All but one show an edge-on view of what appears to be a large, squat disc with a rim through its midsection. One photo shows the bottom of the UFO with the Aluche symbol, this time with a horizontal bar crossing the verticals and linking the two arms. In August, another photographer calling himself Antonio Pardo produces two more photos of the edge-on disc taken the same day, as well as some hard green-colored plastic strips bearing the distinctive Aluche symbol supposedly found in a capsule that leaflets by a “Henri Dagousset” predicted in June would be found. Jordán Peña later confesses to hoaxing the plastic strips, which are made of Tedlar (polyvinyl fluoride) produced by DuPont for the US space program. Independent analyses by French space scientist Claude Poher and the US group Ground Saucer Watch determine that the San José de Valderas photo with the Ummo symbol is a small model—an 8-inch plate suspended by a string or fishing line— held close to the camera. The symbol apparently is drawn in ink.

Description: A yellow-orange disc-shaped object with three legs and windows allegedly landed in Santa Monica near Madrid, Spain at 11 p.m. Ground traces included three holes in the ground and burnt grass at the landing site. The holes were rectangular in shape and 15 cm x 30 cm in size. An aluminum colored powder and some mysterious tubes were also discovered. An object, said to be lens-shaped, was photographed 30 minutes earlier in San Jose de Valderas, Spain. The photo shows an "H" insignia on the bottom of the craft. The photograph, however, is regarded by many UFO investigators as a hoax.

The stranger asked the boy what the garden soil was, and told him to "watch the rocket ship--he'd be back." Then he flew up on the roof with the aide of two tanks on his back shooting out white smoke. The boy said, "He didn't have a body." Two more strange beings were visible in the ship. Then the first being came back, asked Leland what a tree in the backyard was, and pointed a device that looked like a gun at him. The boy screamed and ran out of the bathroom.

Description: A daytime photograph of a disc-shaped object was taken in East Woonsocket, Rhode Island by UFO contactee Harold Trudel. The photograph shows a slightly asymmetric hubcap shaped object with a small dome and aerial extending from the bottom. To even the untrained eye it looks like a fake, more than likely produced by suspending a model from a string. Trudel believed he was in mental contact with space people, who sent him telepathic messages as to where and when they would appear. Oddly enough, two more cases of photographs being taken of UFOs occurred on this day in Austria. Two people, one named Tutter, took a photograph of a UFO in Vienna (Wien), Austria at 9:55 p.m., and two more people, one named Brettschneider, took a photo in Ganserndorf, Austria at 11:35 p.m.

Event 28846 (B4B87832)

Date: 6/13/1967
Location: CANADA, Caledonia (Ontario)
Description: (Translated from French) It was 2:30 a.m. when Carmen Cuneo, a miner, stepped out of one of the Domtar Quarrys barracks for some fresh air. Caledonia is located between Lakes Ontario and Erie. As he stepped out, he was surprised by what he saw: an object shaped like a cigar, about twelve meters long, close to the ground, and a circular object about 5 m in diameter hovering above him. Not sure of what he was seeing, he noticed four windows along the side of the cigar. He was even more amazed when he saw three small figures wearing bubble-shaped helmets with an amber light on top, picking up things from the ground. Not believing his eyes, Cuneo stayed there looking for about ten minutes before entering the barracks and waking up other workers. They came out just in time to see the two objects rise from the ground. However, they were still surprised as the objects hovered above the square between the barracks for another 20 minutes before heading southwest, flashing lights of all colors but without making a sound. At the landing site, a kind of oily substance was mixed with the soil. Samples were analyzed and the result was that the oil was a common lubricating oil...

Event 28852 (038A5725)

Date: 6/13/1967
Description: At 2:30 a.m. Carmen Cuneo, a night shift worker at a factory in Caledonia, Ontario saw two objects near the factory's scrap heap and dump area: a large cigar-shaped object on the ground, 35 feet long by 15 feet thick, and a hovering disc-shaped object about 15 feet in diameter. The smaller object, tilted up at a 45-degree angle, had a row of orange-lighted windows around its periphery. In the larger object were four square windows emitting a pulsating orange light, and from one end of it projected upward at a 45 degree angle a rod 15 feet long, bearing a large red light at the end. Beneath this light moved three small humanoid figures about three feet tall, wearing miner's hats with small lights on them. They were picking up and examining small objects on the ground with quick, jerky movements. After watching for 10 minutes, Cuneo called co-worker Marvin Hannigan to see it, but by the time Hannigan arrived the humanoids were gone. The two craft started very slowly to rise straight up into the air. After they reached a height of 50 feet they departed at about 40-45 mph without making a sound. At the landing site branches were broken and the brush charred, and an oily liquid was found on the ground.

Location: Clearwater Bay on Shoal Lake, Ontario
Description: Late evening. A family is returning home by boat near Clearwater Bay on Shoal Lake, Ontario, when they notice a bright oval object hovering 50 feet above the treetops about a half-mile away. As they approach, the object turns an orange tinge and suddenly sweeps toward their boat at great speed. They beat a hasty retreat to the other shore, while the UFO returns to its original position. The same thing happens when they approach the object again. After about 15 minutes, the object takes off at an incredible speed to the northwest. One resident, who is not aware of the UFO, reports later that the static on his radio was so bad that he had to turn it off. Wilted leaves on the top of birch, hazel, and chokecherry trees are discovered in the sighting area. Leaf samples are analyzed by the Canadian Department of Forestry, which cannot find an explanation for their condition other than heat. The University of Manitoba finds evidence of fungus on one sample but not on others.

Event 28875 (01700D97)

Date: Summer 1967
Location: USA, between Colorado and California
Description: (Translated from French) A family was travelling in a caravan towards California. At a petrol station they saw a round flying object, it looked like a child's bonnet and the thing was surrounded by a bright ring with multicolored lights. Underneath was a kind of searchlight that swept the ground. The beam stopped on the caravan and the object quickly flew over it. Then it disappeared as it had come. The next day, after having driven a long way, the family was surprised to find the same flying device which this time came as close as 25 meters to the caravan. Taken by fear, the mother of the family fainted. When the craft finally moved away, the witnesses had another big surprise. Inside the caravan, a carrot placed on the table had grown roots so quickly that they almost touched the ground... (1967, Summer)

Description: Dogs howled when a UFO flew ten to twenty feet off the ground, making a low-pitched, droning noise, three miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. As police approached the object the light went out and the dogs stopped barking. The two principal witnesses could hear voices coming from the UFO, talking in a high-pitched, incomprehensible "gibberish" at 2:05 a.m.

Event 28911 (9D27C348)

Date: 6/25/1967
Description: On this night in Bethel, Connecticut six teenagers were sleeping out in the backyard of a home when they saw a bright light. They drove to Sunset Hill to get a better view and saw it was a domed disc with red and green flashing lights around the dome. Their car radio experienced interference when the object was in view. Several weeks later, some members of the group found an area of grass matted down where the object had hovered close to the ground.

Event 28912 (C91844E0)

Date: 6/25/1967
Description: At 10:30 p.m. Robert Luca was driving from Durham, Connecticut to Hamnonassett Beach when he saw two large, cigar-shaped objects in the sky. From one of them came two smaller objects; one flew to the east, the other to the west. One of the discs came towards him, descending in falling leaf motion behind some trees about 1/4 mile away. It was dull metallic in color. The next thing he remembered was arriving at the beach shortly before two a.m., with no memory of the intervening three hours. Under hypnosis in 1977, Luca remembered being nude in a room with a white floor, lighted by indirect blue white light. In a later session, he remembered being on a table in this room, with two "persons" at his head and feet. The entities had large baldheads, no noses and "tapered" faces.

Event 28915 (59107131)

Date: 6/27/1967
Location: FRANCE, Saint Geneys near St Paulien
Description: (Translated from French) At around 10pm, the witness was travelling on the N 106. Just at the entrance of a small road leading to Champvert, their attention was drawn to a very strong light coming from a wood. Upon arriving at the path, they discovered an enormous craft of at least 100m in length less than 50m from the road. What struck them the most was the extraordinary luminosity of the "spine" of the craft, whose edges were blurry and misty.

Event 28939 (EEA11B8C)

Date: 6/30/1967
Description: Mrs. Lemarquandsa was walking through her house around six o'clock in the evening in Thompson, Manitoba when she heard an odd beeping sound. It was repeated at regular intervals about once a second, and she wondered what was causing it. She looked out her kitchen window, and saw dirt and loose pieces of paper flying in a large circle around her house. Outside, she found her husband, who had just come home, and five children staring up into the sky. A young boy was holding her eight-year-old daughter down on the ground. Up in the sky a box-shaped or rectangular object hung in the air, slowly rotating counter-clockwise and showing alternating silver metallic and black sides. It was black on its lower surface, and made no noise. The object began moving off at an angle, stopped and hovered, and then continued towards the southeast. Until this time the circle of dirt and dust had persisted, but it now died down. The whirlwind was confined to the area immediately around their house and did not affect any other houses on the street. When the object moved away, the dirt fell to the ground. Going to the children, the woman found they were calming down except her daughter, who seemed dazed. The boy explained that the five of them had been playing in the yard when the object first appeared overhead. As they watched, her daughter had been levitated into the air, and this levitation was apparently caused by the UFO in the sky. By the time the other children had come to her aid, she was about one meter off the ground and her clothes had edged up her body. Her daughter said she did not remember anything from the time she felt the wind until the time she recovered after being dragged back to the ground.

Description: (Translated from French) At 3 o'clock in the morning, Miss de Ribas was suddenly awakened by an intense light coming from the patio. She distinguished at the window two small silhouettes that seemed to be talking to each other. They had a big head and huge eyes. In a state of extreme agitation, the young girl tried to turn on the light, but nothing happened, as if the electricity had been cut off. She changed rooms to get a coat, as she intended to flee, but when she returned, she saw nothing. She went out and noticed that there were two footprints of small feet in front of the window.

Event 28941 (D351950F)

Date: 7/1967
Location: NETHERLANDS, Oosterschelde (arm of the sea)
Description: (Translated from French) Industrialist Stefan Danaerde is at anchor on the Oosterschelde with his sailboat. His son tells him that the radar is defective. As the evening promises to be calm, Danaerde is not really worried. In the evening he starts the engine and sets sail for the Burgsluis lock. Then a kind of blue sun appears in the sky emitting a shrill noise. On the water floats like a dead man and Danaerde jumps into the sea to bring back the dead. That's when the "sun" presents itself as a fairly flat metal saucer and a staircase descends to the water, while a dark silhouette is outlined. Danaerde is sucked towards the saucer and panics. He finds himself in the presence of beings 1.40 m tall, dressed in astronaut costumes with multiple ornaments. They have a very high forehead, pointed ears and speak with a mechanical voice in English. "Can understand you us?" - "Yes, I do." They thank Danaerde for having come to the aid of one of their own who had fallen into the sea and say they are from another planet but have been on Earth for a long time. Danaerde then receives, as a sign of recognition, a metal piece. Through the computer and television (note from vog: in 67? On board a sailboat?) he is taught all kinds of things about the planet Jarga, which would be 10 light years from Earth. People there live in cylinders, as the planet is overpopulated. They practice a kind of absolute communism and private property does not exist there. There is no money either. Their only goal is "omni spiritual creativity".

Location: PORTUGAL, Monte (Oleiros, Ponte da Barca) - Viana do Castelo
Description: (Translated from French) At 7 pm the farmer saw an object flying in the sky at very high speed and projecting beams of yellow, red and green light. Meanwhile, his two daughters, who were keeping the flock, saw with understandable fear two humanoids standing on a wall 30 meters away from them. They had big heads. Their arms and legs reflected the light of the sun. They were small, less than one meter tall. They jumped off the wall (50 cm high) with both feet and disappeared. When the girls told their father about this adventure, they went to the wall to look for traces, but there was nothing.

Event 28965 (34B52A2E)

Date: 7/3/1967
Locations: Highwood Ranger Station; Calgary, Alberta; Canada; American; Colorado
Description: 5:30 p.m. Warren Smith and two friends hiking in the mountains near Highwood Ranger Station, 50 miles southwest of Calgary, Alberta, take two color photos of a daylight disc that appears to be about 25 feet in diameter. The disc appears from less than 2 miles away and at an altitude of approximately 2,000 feet. It travels toward the hikers, gradually losing altitude, then at a distance of about one-half mile it hovers for a moment and an object appears to fall from it. It disappears from sight at treetop level at great speed. The photos are examined by both Canadian and American authorities; Hynek describes them as some of the best photos on record at the time. An analysis by Canadian National Defence finds the object is an oblate ellipsoid with a diameter of 40–50 feet and a thickness of 11–14 feet. The witnesses sign statutory declarations to the effect that the photos are not a hoax; if proven false, they would be subject to prosecution under the Canada Evidence Act. Nevertheless, the Colorado Committee thinks the object could be a hoaxed hand-thrown model. Ground Saucer Watch declares it genuine.

Event 28969 (F66F90C4)

Date: 7/3/1967
Description: Marine “RT” with Alpha Red TS Crypto Clearance states he was at a CR site in 1967 where he departed from Camp Pendleton to a retrieval site “somewhere in the desert” on 3 July 1967. When he landed there were tents and a pre-fab hangar and at the site were men in fatigues without insignia. RT was assigned guard duty. RT states he looked inside the hangar and saw a metallic disc with a dome on top with no windows, around the craft were men at work and tables with technical instruments. A large walk-in refrigerator unit on skids had several empty body bags.

RT states he was seen looking into the tent, escorted to the officer in command Col. “P”, USAF Medical Corps, reminded of his Security Oath and confined to his quarters before being sent back to Pendleton for punishment. RT states when he called APRO about the CR he began receiving threats, he was visited by an intelligence agent and reminded of his Security Oath, his apartment was pillaged on 21 July 1980, visited on 22 July 1980 and threatened where RT performed a citizen’s arrest with a gun and the police booked the man before another man in a “limousine” showed the police their credentials and he was released.

On 28 July 1980 RT states he was visited by a man dressed in black who offered to exchange UFO information and it was the last call made. The visitor’s ID allegedly said CIA. After his admissions RT then got a job at the AEC and stopped telling his story of the CR.

Event 28982 (7EFB78F1)

Date: 7/5/1967
Locations: Murray Bridge, South Australia; Karoonda Highway
Description: Night. A witness is driving five miles north-northeast of Murray Bridge, South Australia, on the Karoonda Highway when he notices interference on the car radio, which becomes a high-pitched whine. He turns the radio off. Within 300–450 feet, his car engine stops by itself. The ignition is on but the warning lights on the dash come on. Looking up, he sees a distinct break in the fog with stars visible and a “large dark shadow” at a height of 20 feet. The shadow seems 120 feet thick. Above it is a grayish-blue glow. The top of the shadow appears convex. He stops the vehicle and gets out to look, but the shadow and light are gone. There is no sound, and the object has vanished. The witness returns to the vehicle, tries the ignition, and the motor works. There is no longer radio interference.

Event 28990 (B2B56B4D)

Date: 7/7/1967
Location: BRAZIL, Serra de Mantiqueira
Description: (Translated from French) Geraldo Baqueiro, 45 years old, a driver, aboard his car climbing painfully at 40 km/h to the top of the Serra de Mantiqueira, saw at 01:30 a blinking red light coming towards him. As it approached, the vehicle advanced less and less and the engine responded in intensity to the pulsations of the light. There were some misfires and then everything stopped: engine, headlights, radio. The thing stayed at 10 or 15 m high and at about thirty meters it became increasingly red and finally a disc-shaped object emerged and the light became neon white. In the lower part a square dome, and a kind of windshield 2 m long on this disc making about 5 m in diameter and 3 m high. It remained suspended silently and the white light emitted came from inside the object. At the height of the windshield an humanoid appeared, followed by 4 others: he only saw their faces: like cats! They made no sign, only looked at the car for a short time. With a violent gust of wind and a deafening whistle the UFO left from where it came. As soon as it was away, everything worked again in the car. Total duration of the observation: 5 minutes

Event 29028 (14650CC7)

Date: 7/13/1967
Location: Whitehouse, Ohio
Description: 11:26 p.m. Robert Richardson and Jerry Quay are driving near Whitehouse, Ohio. When rounding a bend, they encounter a brilliant blue-white light blocking the road. It appears to be a triangle 8 feet tall and 21 feet wide. Richardson brakes and close their eyes. They feel a bump but can see nothing. The local police do not take the incident seriously. However, the accident is investigated by the state police and highway patrol, who find only skid marks at the scene. The next day Richardson returns to the site and finds a piece of metal in the road. Marks on his car hood and bumper suggest a collision with an object taking off. On July 18 and 23, Richardson is visited by mysterious men, those on the second occasion being foreign-looking, who make a threat against his wife. Roy Craig of the Colorado project conducts a test on the metal and finds it consists of iron and chromium, with traces of nickel and manganese. Fibrous material from the front bumper is 92% magnesium, 5% aluminum, 2% zinc, and 1% manganese.

Event 29042 (A71E2FEF)

Date: 7/17/1967
Location: FRANCE, Arc-sous-Cicon (Doubs)
Description: (Translated from French) A group of young children had gone for a walk in the pastures at the foot of the woods, when the youngest girl of 6 years old exclaimed "I saw three black Chinese people". The small group saw nothing but ran towards the village. The little girl said that they were small and that they spoke to each other in a kind of music: ra, ra, lé, tré, la. It was then 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A 15 year old girl then went to the site, but saw nothing. She returned around 4 o'clock accompanied by several other young people. Sitting on a rock about ten meters from a dirt road that serves the pasture: the terrain is rugged. Suddenly they saw a small black being running on the flat part: it was about 1.10m tall and completely black. It had a head that was roughly normal for its size, but it shone: was it covered with something? Except for the belly, which was big, the rest seemed proportionate. It passed 25m from the witnesses at 4pm in the middle of summer, so they saw it well. It ran like a man and disappeared into the hedge. It was wearing some kind of black tights. They rushed after it, but in vain. The next day people found a circle of 4m where the grass was burned: a particular smell emanated from it, not comparable to the smell of burned grass. The circle was more burned in the center than on the edges. In the northeast were traces of small feet. (July 17, 1967)

Locations: State Highway 22; Millerton, New York
Description: 11:25 p.m. Emma Funk is driving on State Highway 22 north of Millerton, New York, when a black, shiny object the size of a baseball flies into her headlight beams. It heads toward the windshield, brushes against it, then veers off to the left. As it brushes, her car lights up “like a great electric light bulb,” her engine quits, and the headlights go out. Funk is stunned, and when she regains her senses, the car is facing the opposite direction, toward the south. The engine starts up normally, but there is a cracked area in the windshield the size of a fist. She can’t account for about 15 minutes.

Event 29058 (854DCA81)

Date: 7/17/1967
Description: While driving home at 1:00 a.m. in Newville, Pennsylvania Mr. Stanley L. noticed a light that he first thought was the moon, but it moved towards him and dropped into a position directly in front of his car. It paced him, keeping a distance of 15 to 20 yards, while he drove along at 55 mph. It was a rounded object, 10-15 in diameter, and was glowing brightly with an orange light. Stanley thought he could see the shadowy silhouette of a man inside the object working controls. When he slowed down the UFO rose above the telephone wires but continued to pace him the rest of the way home. At home he called out his sister Joanne, and her boyfriend Carl, and all three of them saw the object hovering over a field. When he drove away it followed his car again, and returned with him to the house where they could now make out the form of the occupant inside the object. The object made no sound. While they went inside the house the UFO disappeared. This encounter occurred during a continuing wave of UFO sighting reports in south central Pennsylvania.

Event 29059 (457AFFDA)

Date: 7/17/1967
Description: At 3:15 in the afternoon in Arc-sous-Cicon, Doubs department, France four children saw three dark humanoids with protruding stomachs who spoke an unintelligible language that sounded like musical tones. They were dressed in black suits. Broken vegetation, a circle of burnt grass four meters in diameter, and three small footprints were found at the site. Several hours later there were widespread reports of fireballs seen by hundreds of people throughout Europe. Some believed these sightings were the result of a satellite re-entry or possibly a spectacular meteor. According to investigator Eric Zurcher, "We now know that the beings in question were already in the area three days earlier, since they were seen on the 14th and 15th by an agricultural worker."

Date: 7/17/1967
Description: Mr. E. Browne of Belfast, Northern Ireland was walking in the woods near his home on this evening when he came upon a "dish-like" object hovering eight feet above the ground. It was a dull blue-gray color with a rough and pitted outer surface, and about the size of a car. An opening appeared in the center of the underside and two silver suited, human-like figures dropped slowly to the ground and then walked away into the woods.

Description: At 11:25 p.m. Mrs. Emma Funk was driving down Route 22 north of Millertown, New York when a shiny black object about the size of a baseball flew into the car's headlights. It came right up to her car, seemed to brush against the windscreen, then veered off to the left. When it made contact the car lit up "like a giant electric light bulb." The engine and headlights failed and she lost consciousness. When she recovered the car was pointing in the opposite direction and there was a cracked area the size of a man's fist in the windshield. In September she underwent hypnotic regression in which she spoke of the radio being filled with static and unspecified beings, which turned the car around and struck her across the chest with a rod.

Event 29062 (CBFABE9B)

Date: 7/18/1967
Location: USA, Boardman (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) The Reverend Anthony Polo was awoken by a noise similar to that of a science-fiction television background music. He had the impression that he was being told to come down. Which he did. Outside he saw a figure in bright clothing. He went out. The noise started again and he received the message that he had nothing to fear, that no harm would be done to him and he would do none. He approached and another message came to him: "Danger. I must go." He saw a kind of light in the sky and when he looked down again the entity had disappeared. (vog: Was the Reverend really awoken or was he dreaming?

Event 29063 (3252B0C7)

Date: 7/18/1967
Description: (Translated from French) Several people observe above France luminous phenomena, more or less bright, which causes a wave of phone calls to several official organizations. The phenomena appear to be moving towards the northeast. Specialists advance the thesis of ball lightning similar to those that occur when lightning strikes. A new statement, drawn from calculations of the US administration for aeronautics and space, transforms "the" fireballs into "one" single luminous ball, and identifies it as the last stage of the carrier rocket of the Soviet satellite Cosmos-169 which burned during its reentry into the atmosphere. The Soviet authorities do not respond to this statement. (1:15)

Event 29073 (1248D12D)

Date: 7/18/1967
Description: At 1:20 a.m. Rev. Anthony De Polo, an Assembly of God minister, was lying in bed in Boardman, Ohio when he heard a very loud whining sound that rose and fell in pitch. Then he received a distinct mental message telling him to go to the window. He did so, and saw a five foot tall figure wearing a luminous tight-fitting "spacesuit." There was also a source of light coming from above the figure. At first he thought someone was playing a prank, but the apparition was well-defined and looked real. He stepped out onto his porch and mentally heard the words,"You have nothing to fear."

He began to walk toward the being when the whining noise began again and he heard, "Danger; I must go." Then the figure dissolved into a blurred glow of light. Before it completely disappeared De Polo received another message of a personal nature. On the same night and not far from De Polo's home, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dixon heard a loud noise outside, looked out, and saw an object hovering over their house. It moved off toward the south after about five minutes. De Polo has had a number of subsequent UFo sightings and "contacts."

Event 29080 (D17B7005)

Date: 7/19/1967
Description: A young girl saw a saucer-shaped object hovering above a cornfield in Sao Benedito Do Sul, Pernambuco, Brazil. Inside the object she could see a humanoid entity of small stature, and a second similar entity was observed outside. The second entity made gestures at the girl, who interpreted them to be an inquiry about the edibility of the corn. At some point a dog nearby began barking, and the second entity quickly boarded the vehicle, which ascended rapidly.

Locations: North Key Largo, Florida; Jewfish Creek; Pompano Beach; US Highway 1
Description: 11:30 p.m. Barbara Fawcett is driving alone on North Key Largo, Florida, near Jewfish Creek. She sees a large light in her rear-view mirror apparently following the car. The burning yellow light seems to be floating 6–8 feet off the ground, and it stays over the road. She accelerates to 100 mph as the light overtakes her car and seems to be about to land on top of it. As a car approaches in the opposite direction, the object emits a bright yellow glow that lights up the road and then disappears. She decides to return home to Pompano Beach with her sister the same morning, and at 2:30 a.m. they are on US Highway 1 near the same spot when she sees the light again, rising from a swamp and moving toward them 15 feet above the ground. Her sister’s toy poodle is terrified. The light veers away from the road and appears to land on a sand dune.

Event 29091 (85A72410)

Date: 7/20/1967
Description: Pedro Petrelli of Guernica, Argentina heard a loud noise like a burst of wind from a hurricane and saw a bright object pass over his house at night. It seemed to be about seven-meter in diameter, circular or disc shaped, and was observed to be spinning. Some twenty people in the vicinity saw it. It stopped and hovered over some nearby trees and threw off some metallic fragments. The next morning two trees showed cuts at a height of five meters, and a third tree at three meters. On the ground were found fragments of what seemed to be burnt wood, but the inside looked like fused glass. Chemical analysis of the fragments established the presence of sulphur, copper and silicon that had been subjected to a heat of more than 1600º Celsius.

Description: At 9:15 p.m. EDT Mrs. Elizabeth Douglas had tripped and fallen on her lawn in Titusville, Florida and was just getting up when she saw a UFO about 200 feet away about 60-70 feet above the ground. It was a sixty foot in diameter, gray bell-shaped object, with an intense light coming from five square windows. In the fourth window was a thin humanoid figure with an egg-shaped head and a featureless face. It had long arms that were raised. She viewed the entity for about two minutes. Mrs. Douglas's daughter Ingrid joined her, and also saw the UFO as it moved away, but did not see the occupant. Ninety minutes later at 10:45 p.m. EDT a round green light was seen hovering over the radio transmission tower of WHP Radio in Summerdale, Pennsylvania. The object turned red, descended to around 200 feet above the ground, and an intense white light came on. It flew away behind the treeline toward the northwest.

Locations: Pamlico County, North Carolina; New York
Description: Ronnie Hill, 14, of Pamlico County, North Carolina, sends a color photo of what looks like a little man in a spacesuit standing in front of a spherical UFO to a New York magazine editor. It winds up in the hands of John A. Keel. Hill tells him the UFO landed in his backyard. Keel gathers affidavits from Ronnie’s teachers, parents, and the local 4-H club, and submits the photo to “several professional photographers” in New York, who cannot find evidence of a hoax. Soon, however, Keel has doubts and the photo is revealed to be that of a small model positioned in front of an egg.

Event 29101 (76A5B390)

Date: 7/21/1967
Description: On this afternoon in Pamlico County, North Carolina 14-year-old Ronnie Hill was playing in the garden when he noticed a strange odor in the air, and his eyes began to tear. He then saw a spherical object about three meters in diameter descend from the sky and land in a nearby field. Thinking that nobody would believe him, he ran inside his home and obtained a small Kodak camera. Once back outside he saw a small figure emerge from behind the object. The figure was about 1.25 meters in height, wore a tight-fitting silvery suit and carried in its hand a black object that it inserted into the ground, The entity then returned to the object, which took off into the sky at high speed. The odor was described as resembling propane gas. Ronnie Hill also noticed a total lack of sound during the encounter. A controversial photograph of the humanoid and UFO was taken and subsequently publicized. The photograph is widely regarded as a hoax by UFO investigators, with an eggshell used to model the UFO.

Description: 6:15 p.m. The Naviero, a ship of the Argentine Shipping Lines Company, is 120 miles off the coast of Garopaba, Santa Catarina, Brazil, when Office Jorge Montoya notices a strange object in the ocean about 50 feet away on the starboard side. Capt. Julián Lucas Ardanza comes to the deck and sees a cigar-shaped UFO about 110 feet long, glowing blue and white. It paces the ship for 15 minutes, then suddenly dives and passes underneath the ship, vanishing in the depths. Chief Officer Carlos Lasca describes the object as a “submergible UFO with its own illumination.”

Event 29136 (73484AE1)

Date: 7/30/1967
Locations: Kernville, California; Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake; Walker Pass; Edwards AFB; Boron AFS ADC radar site
Description: 10:17 p.m. George and Brownie Petyak see a bright yellow star-like light at about 65° elevation to the east of Kernville, California. It is later joined by a second similar object appearing to try to “steer” the first onto a “definite course.” Through binoculars the first object appears bright blue. A second independent observation from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in the Mojave Desert locates an object visually and/or on radar to the west over Walker Pass (about 20 miles) and is reported to Edwards AFB. Thus the visual sighting lines intersect from opposite directions. A controller at Edwards uses RAPCON (Radar Approach Control) radar (or Boron AFS FPS-35 search radar) and confirms the visual report at China Lake but tries to dismiss the 115 mph target as merely civil aircraft that “frequently” fly over the area. The Kernville witnesses report by phone during their sighting to the Boron AFS ADC radar site. Blue Book claims the date of the sighting is in question because the questionnaire sent to the Petyaks uses the military time (Greenwich Meridian Time or Zulu time) instead of local time.

Event 29154 (7386A87D)

Date: 8/1967
Locations: Idaho; Tennessee
Description: At the request of President Johnson, the CIA sets up Operation CHAOS to gather intelligence about foreign influence on American dissent. Its mission is to gather and evaluate all information about foreign links to racial, antiwar, and other protest activity. The operation is launched under DCI Richard Helms and counter-intelligence chief James Jesus Angleton, and headed by Richard Ober. The program runs through 1973, amassing 10,000 files on more than 300,000 individuals and 100 domestic groups. The operation also infiltrates foreign intelligence targets and domestic radical organizations. The NSA assists in the surveillance with its own Project MINARET. Operating between 1967 and 1973, over 5,925 foreigners and 1,690 organizations and US citizens are included on the Project MINARET watch lists. NSA Director Lew Allen testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee in 1975 that the NSA has issued over 3,900 reports on the watch-listed Americans. At some point, the NSA is tasked with monitoring the overseas telephone calls and cable traffic of two prominent members of Congress, Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho) and Sen. Howard Baker (R-Tenn.). The FBI begins COINTELPRO–BLACK HATE, which focuses on Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference as well as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Revolutionary Action Movement, the Deacons for Defense and Justice, Congress of Racial Equality, and the Nation of Islam. BLACK HATE establishes the Ghetto Informant Program and instructs 23 FBI offices to “disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize the activities of black nationalist hate type organizations.”

Event 29155 (6E183FE9)

Date: 8/1967
Location: Wapakoneta, Ohio
Description: 2:00 a.m. A man is returning to his mother’s home in Wapakoneta, Ohio, when he sees a strangely bright star to the left of Polaris. As he watches, it grows a bit brighter and begins to move directly beneath Polaris and then continues to the right. It repeats this in reverse and then goes under Polaris and stops. The star then migrates north and south, tracing out the elements of a large cross. It does this several times rapidly. Then it comes back below Polaris and just sits there. After nearly 3 hours, the witness decides to stop watching. At that, the star goes up to Polaris and shoots away to the left.

Description: (Translated from French) Jonil Feydt Vieira, lawyer, and the driver of the jeep Amauri Barboso were inconvenienced by a dazzling UFO standing in front of them on the road they were following, then were pursued by this thing. They had the opportunity to see that there was a large dome, with a blue light at one end and a yellow light at the other. The object made no noise. The dome was rotating. The pursuit lasted from 8 pm to 8:40 pm. The driver experienced a great pain in his forehead between the two eyes, which lasted for 16 days after the observation and the lawyer had a yellow complexion and had a feeling of lightness. It seemed to the two witnesses that they had received some kind of mental message about the possible life on other planets.

Description: 8:00 p.m. Amauri Barbosa da Silva and Jonil Faydit Vieira are driving on the road to Japeri from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when they see several yellowish lights that eventually extinguish themselves, one at a time. Later, they see similar lights positioned directly in front of them. Da Silva blinks his headlights, and the lights respond similarly. The lights maintain their position in front of them, moving from one side of the road to the other. When they are approaching Miguel Pereira on a mud road between Arcádia and La Chaumiere, they see two bright beams of light, one yellow and one blue, about 1,000 feet away from them on the right, apparently attached to the dome of a disc. The object follows them for at least 40 minutes and is seen by Nelson Gonçalves Ferreira at their destination in Miguel Pereira.

Description: 11:30 p.m. A married couple and their teenage son are sleeping in their car outside their home in Caracas, Venezuela. They wake up and see a white, disc-shaped object hovering 100 feet above a nearby palm tree. Within a few minutes, an opening appears in the UFO, and a smaller lightbulb-shaped object emerges and drifts downward, stopping just inches from the ground near their front porch. A door slides open and a small, glowing figure steps out, who bends over, picks up some stones, examines them, and looks up at the larger object, apparently communicating with someone. He looks toward their car frequently. After a few minutes, the figure reenters the small object, which returns to the large disc and enters it. The disc speeds away and disappears in seconds.

This, too, had an opening from which stepped a small man about three feet tall, dressed in silvery luminous clothes. His head was surrounded by vapor. He was only about five meters away from the witnesses, and they watched him pick up stones, examine them, look up, and appear to communicate with the disc-shaped craft. He then dropped the stones and stepped into the "bulb" that reentered the craft, which took off.

Description: Morning. After a night of heavy rain, Edgar Schielke finds a circular mark more than 30 feet in diameter in his cow pasture near Duhamel, Alberta. A UFO group from Edmonton visits the field and finds three additional rings. An RCAF team from CFB Namao [now CFB Edmonton], along with Gareth H. S. Jones of the Defense Research Establishment Suffield [now DRDC Suffield], visits the farm on August 11 after much of the evidence has been trampled. Jones finds two more rings. The marks vary from 5 to 7 inches wide and from 31 feet 9 inches to 36 feet 3 inches, and each is incomplete on its western side. He is puzzled as to what made the marks, can find no evidence of a hoax, and seriously considers whether an aerial object could have made them.

Date: 8/6/1967
Locations: Mexico; Tamaulipas; Tlaxcala; Hidalgo; Veracruz; Lake Pátzcuaro; Michoacán; Mexico City International Airport; Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico; Cape Canaveral
Description: 7:55–8:20 p.m. Formations of lights in groups of 3–5 are seen in many states of Mexico, including Tamaulipas, Tlaxcala, Hidalgo, Veracruz, and Lake Pátzcuaro in Michoacán. Most are generally moving west to east. Many people at the Mexico City International Airport watch a group between 8:10 and 8:20 p.m. Technicians in the control tower can make out 9–10 objects through binoculars. Capt. Angel Fojo Ceballos and Capt. José Luis Espejo are flying an Aeronaves de México [now Aeroméxico] DC-9 at 23,000 feet over Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico. They see three bright points flying in formation from northwest to southeast an estimated 30–40 miles away. They cross the horizon at 55,000–60,000 feet in 40–45 seconds. One of the objects appears to break formation and approach the aircraft, showing a round shape and metallic composition, but then it veers away and out of sight. The events are thought to be the reentry of the Pioneer 7 rocket body that had launched from Cape Canaveral on August 15, 1966.

Description: Again in the San Bernardino area of Caracas, Venezuela (see report above from 1965), at 2:00 a.m. Pedro Riera was awakened by someone shaking his bed. When he focused his eyes he saw in front of him a small humanoid being with a disproportionately large head, wearing a "rubber suit." He jumped out of bed and grabbed the little man, but the dwarf wriggled free and went out the second floor window. Riera looked out and saw a round, multicolored, luminous object so brilliant that he had to close his eyes. In the morning he found deposits of a rust-like substance, and small footprints in this "rust" on the pavement below his balcony. Several neighbors had also observed the UFO.

Description: 2:30 a.m. Robert P. Miedtke and his wife are sleeping in a camper on property belonging to some relatives on County Highway I some 11 miles west of Ogema, Wisconsin. They are awakened by their dog barking outside. They look out the window and see a large, fluorescent, half-moon-shaped object in a neighboring pasture about 450 feet away. It is shining a beam of light at a milk house only 25 feet from their camper. The dog has stopped barking and they can hear none of the usual night sounds. After about one hour, they hear the sound of someone walking in the gravel and sand outside. Three times the footsteps are heard going from north to south. The Miedtkes remain in bed, hoping no one would know they are in the camper. After another hour, just before dawn, they hear the dog whimpering and barking, followed by the muffled noise like a huge generator that fades away after 6–8 seconds.

Event 29266 (19C735B1)

Date: 8/13/1967

Description: (Translated from French) Ignaço da Souza, an agricultural worker, fired at the normal-sized humanoids with his Winchester 44. He was instantly paralyzed by a green beam coming from the UFO that had landed nearby, fell to the ground, became ill and died some time later from leukemia. (Henry DURRANT: "First Investigations on ET Humanoids" - Laffont 1977 - p. 66,67) Returning home around 4:00 PM, Ignaço and Maria da Souza noticed a strange object shaped like a bowl with its opening facing downwards, on the landing strip of the property. This device had a diameter of 35 m. Between it and the house were three unknowns, of human appearance, except that they were bald. They were playing and frolicking like children, but in silence. When they saw Ignaço they pointed at him and started running towards him. He made his wife go back into the house, and she ran there. As he had his rifle with him, he shot at the closest one, at which point a green light came out of the device and hit him in the chest and he fell to the ground. His wife ran up, but by then the men had already gone back into their craft which rose vertically at great speed, making a sound like that of bees. (...) Ignaço da Souza fell ill, his condition only worsened, his whole body was covered in yellow-white spots, he suffered horrible pains, and died on October 11, 1967.

Description: 8:00 p.m. Between Pilar de Goiás and Crixás, Goiás, Brazil, a plantation worker at the Estancia de Santa Maria, Ignácio da Souza, is returning home from work when he and his wife see an object in the form of an upside-down basin 115 feet in diameter sitting on the landing strip of the ranch. They initially think it is some flying machine tested by the ranch owner, Ibiracy de Moraes, a wealthy man and former president of the Bank of Brazil. Between the object and the couple, there are three humanoid, child-size beings that they initially think are naked children before realizing that they are hairless creatures wearing a tight suit of yellow. The beings seem to be playing around silently, but then move quickly towards them. Da Souza tells his wife to lock herself up in their house. He is armed with a rifle and frightened, so da Souza shoots the closest of the beings. At the same time, the UFO emits a ray of green light that hits him, throwing him to the ground unconscious. Seeing her husband fall from the kitchen window, his wife runs onto the scene shouting, interposes herself between the beings and the body of her husband, and picks up his rifle. But during this time the beings have retrieved the one that had fallen to ground and quickly flee to enter the craft. After a short time, it slowly rises vertically while emitting a buzz similar to that of a swarm of bees. Taken to the hospital of Goiânia, the state capital, de Souza suffers from nausea and a general numbness. Burns are noted, initially attributed to a toxic plant, but when de Souza and de Moraes hear the erroneous diagnosis and are told what had happened, doctors perform a blood analysis that returns with a diagnosis of advanced leukemia with life expectancy of two months. Da Souza quickly deteriorates, suffers, develops yellowish spots, and dies on October 11. In accordance with his instructions, his wife burns the bed, the mattress, and the clothing that he has used.

Event 29271 (E42B7606)

Date: 8/13/1967
Description: At about four o'clock in the afternoon Inacio De Souza, age 41, and his wife Maria were approaching their home at Santa Maria, Brazil near the town of Crixas Pilar de Goias, when they saw three figures "playing about" on the landing strip of the owner of the Fazenda. The beings were as tall as young children, had no hair and were wearing skin-tight clothing of a pale yellow color. At the end of the landing strip was a landed UFO having the shape of an inverted washbasin. De Souza, carrying a .44 caliber carbine, fired a shot at the nearest being. Just then a beam of green light came from the UFO and struck De Souza on the head and shoulders, knocking him unconscious. The three entities entered the object, which then took off vertically at a high speed with a sound like buzzing bees. De Souza incurred a circular burned patch six inches in diameter, and he was also diagnosed with leukemia by a physician, from which he died less than two months later.

Event 29279 (AA29F787)

Date: Mid 8/1967
Location: Nova Scotia Light and Power substation in Caledonia, Nova Scotia
Description: About 12:00 noon. Electrical engineer Albert Fulton and superintendent Sherman Anderson are making rounds at the Nova Scotia Light and Power substation in Caledonia, Nova Scotia. They notice steam rising from one of three large transformers, then Fulton spots two silvery disc-shaped objects maneuvering around the sky some distance away. The pair watches them a they zip back and forth in different directions from horizon to horizon in 3–4 seconds. Each time they leave a silvery line about 10 times their length behind them, which disappears when the objects stop. They watch this spectacle for about one minute, then both discs come to a common point in front of a suddenly visible gray, cigar-shaped object. After stopping briefly the two smaller objects merge into the cigar, taking 12–15 seconds. The large object disappears.

On a platform around its perimeter were seated eight to ten little men about three feet tall, who wore tight fitting brown uniforms. A circular depression 12 feet in diameter was later found on the ground at the site.

Continuing home, they run across a locked, deserted shack that seems to have some yellowish lights moving around in one room and noises like muted thuds. The red glow reappears moving close to the ground from the west. Suddenly it turns brilliant white and appears to land on the other side of a brook. They run home and see a huge light like a flashlight hovering 13 feet above the ground near the house. They hear a whistling sound coming from the brook and what seem to be footsteps coming toward them. They run to a ravine where they see, about 35 feet away, a small being with a disproportionately large head and wearing dark clothing. It lifts its arms and seems to be holding a box-like apparatus with a tube. Two thin, wire-like bands appear around the creature’s ankles and give off an intense white light. They run home again. The next day they return to where the being was and find some odd three-toed footprints about 6 inches long.

Description: In Kolmarden, Sodermanland, Sweden a 15-year-old boy and girl, Erik and Inga, were walking together in the evening when they saw a reddish glow descend into the woods at 8:00 p.m. When they reached an abandoned cabin they saw a conical light beam cast onto its wall, and the red light re-appeared. Alarmed by this, they walked to the home of the boy's sisters, where they found a round, brightly luminous object hovering about 13 feet in the air. Then they heard a whistling sound and footsteps, and finally a little being jumped out from behind some bushes, 35 feet away. The being was 4 feet 4 inches tall, and its face was at first completely in shadow. Then it jerkily raised its head and arms, holding a box from which a short tube protruded. Its head was very large, covered by hair or a helmet. It had large dark eyes, and a nose and mouth that together formed an "X." It was bowlegged, and around each ankle was a brilliant, white glowing wire. The witnesses ran for home. The next day at the site the boy found some apples that had been broken apart, some of them with the marks of five fingernails or claws on the broken surface. Other apples were coated with a foul smelling slime. Also found outside the house were deep, odd footprints, 6 inches long and with three-toe marks.

Date: 8/24/1967
Location: Wodonga, Victoria, Australia
Description: 5:00 p.m. Ron Hydes is riding his motorcycle near Wodonga, Victoria, Australia, when he is surrounded by a blinding blue-white light that illuminates the road. As he stops, a bright lens-shaped domed disc, estimated to be 25–30 feet in diameter, descends within a few feet of the ground about 100 feet away. Two humanoids about 5– 5.5 feet tall with round helmets and silver coveralls emerge. One steps nearer to the witness, who flees. The object, surrounded by a pinkish glow, follows the motorcycle at about 100 feet off the ground. Hydes can hear a humming sound above the motorcycle’s engine. He stops again and the object hovers, the hum subsiding. After 30 seconds, the color around the object changes from pink to brilliant red, and it tilts up at a 45° angle, then shoots away.

Event 29347 (9061BF26)

Date: 8/29/1967
Location: FRANCE, Cussac (Cantal)
Description: (Translated from French) François Delpeuch, 13 years old, and his sister Anne-Marie, 9 years old, on school holidays, went with their dog Médor to drive about ten cows into the pasture of the place called "les Tuiles". At one point, the cows wanted to cross a wall separating a neighboring pasture where there were about thirty cows. François got up to call the dog to divert the animals from their purpose. He then saw, on the other side of the D. 57, about sixty meters away, what he took to be four children he did not recognize. He called his sister and, already happy for a possible diversion, she called out: "Are you coming to play with us?" The strangers did not answer. Behind them, half hidden by the fence, François and Anne-Marie saw a shining object, 2 to 2.50 m in diameter, painful to look at because of the bright light. They did not see any openings in it. Two of the strangers were standing to the left of the object and looking at each other, the third had his back to them, it seemed he was kneeling and scratching the ground. The fourth was standing and looking in the direction of the children. He was holding a rectangular object "a mirror" 20 x 30 cm with two faces. Its brilliance blinded the children. The children quickly realized they were dealing with what they called "little black men". They were long and thin in proportion, with an elongated head, arms proportionally longer than a man's, thin and short legs. A bulge near their ears gave them a kind of fluffy beard. Black hair and a beard covered their neck and chin. They were dressed in a tight, shiny black suit "like a mechanic" François said. They were all the same size, those on the left a bit smaller (1 m) than those on the right. The hands were not described. François climbed onto a small wall to get a better view. Seeming to have become aware of this presence, the beings returned to the object. First the two on the left, then the one who was kneeling, and finally the one with the mirror. They propelled themselves upwards, arms glued to their bodies, and entered through the top, head first, plunging into the upper part of the sphere. The fourth seemed to have forgotten something on the ground, he went back and then went up to catch up with the sphere which, having taken off in a spiral, was already higher than the trees. During this ascent, other details were noticed. The feet were of a special shape "webbed feet like ducks". Anne-Marie mentioned the pointed nose. After the latecomer's return, the object described a few more spirals, then a soft whistle was heard, the sound of the breath was perceived, the object became dazzling, blinding: "my eyes hurt, I was crying .." and the sphere disappeared straight into the sky, towards the northwest. The dog was barking, the cows were mooing, those from the neighbor had left their pasture and had joined François's herd, mooing, there was a smell of sulfur in the air. François took care of the cows and they returned home crying, bringing the herd back. (1967, 22 or 29 August)

Event 29358 (112955A8)

Date: 8/29/1967
Description: In Cussac, Cantal department, France at 10:30 a.m. 13-year-old Francois Delpeuch and his younger sister, Anne Marie, age 9, were tending their family cows when they saw four dwarfish figures, 3.5 to four feet tall, on the other side of the road, dressed in black. Nearby was a six foot spherical object of dazzling brilliance that rested on the ground. On closer examination they saw that the beings were completely black---either naked, or wearing skin tight black coveralls. They had pointed heads or helmets, which were also black. One was picking something up from the ground, and another had a bright object, like a mirror. When the entities became aware of the children they rose up into the air vertically, one after the other, and plunged head first into the top of the sphere, which then rose in a spiral pattern with a whistling noise. It left behind a smell of sulphur.

Location: Vietnam
Description: The CIA staff’s frank opinions on Vietnam are sometimes modified before reaching President Johnson. At one point the CIA analysts estimate enemy strength at 500,000, while the military insists it is only 270,000. No amount of discussion resolves the difference. In September 1967, the CIA under DCI Richard Helms goes along with the military’s lower number for the combat strength of the Vietnamese Communist forces. This leads a CIA analyst directly involved in this work to file a formal complaint against Helms, which is accorded due process within the agency.

Event 29383 (9C2FDF7E)

Date: Early 9/1967
Location: FRANCE, Missancourt
Description: (Translated from French) In the night, between 1:30 and 2 o'clock two men were hunting. One of them was sitting under an apple tree at the edge of the forest and the other was about to sit down too: they were waiting for a third companion. Then they saw a light like a burning car, yet everything was silent. Without speaking they advanced towards the phenomenon, guns armed. An object was there 20 cm from the ground, beautiful like a meadow mushroom (Coulemelle or rosé des prés), it looked like a fluorescent tube with a red rectangle in the center like the morning sun. The white part of the "mushroom" was 7 to 8 m long and 2.20m to 2.50m high of a bright white. They arrived at 25 m from the thing and suddenly they were both stopped dead, as if paralyzed. The white part of the mushroom dilated and came towards them like a rolling cloud. (...) Serious physiological and psychological effects on the two witnesses. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." - éd. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 289, 290) Two hunters were patrolling an immense field of freshly mechanized wheat. Suddenly they saw at a distance of 150 to 200 m a "car on fire". (...) It was at this moment that the object dilated in a kind of mist that rushed towards the witnesses, the red rectangle remaining perfectly clear and in the middle of this cloud. The two hunters had different reactions at this moment. The first, in a painful effort, turned around and waited for it to pass, while the second, in a reflex of fear, shouldered his gun towards the phenomenon. But he could not fire... After a few seconds, the first, who had felt nothing, straightened up and found his companion frozen in the previous position, dazed, unable to make a gesture or pronounce a correct sentence. He had felt a feeling of heat when the phenomenon passed over his head (at 2 m) and he had instantly dreamed that he was levitating holding his dead son in his arms. (the witness has a 30-year-old son in 1979 and in perfect health). (1967, late September or early October)

Date: 9/2/1967
Description: At 1:30 a.m. Ms. Barbara Ward, awakened by her baby, glanced out her window on the Bentilee Estate, Stoke-on-Trent, England and saw, a very bright yellow object with an orange light on top in the adjacent field. It was shaped like an inverted saucer. It appeared to be on the ground or just above it, and its light fluctuated in intensity. She could hear no sound, though she was behind a glass window. She reported to investigators Roger Stanway and Anthony Pace that she "half imagined" she could see shadowy figures moving back and forth in front of the bright light generated by the object. She could not be certain because the bright light caused her eyes to strain when looking at the object. After watching for half an hour she became tired and went back to bed. The UFO had not moved during her observation. Subsequent examination of the field failed to reveal any traces. This sighting occurred during a spate of several UFO incidents in the same area.

Date: 9/4/1967
Locations: Clevedon, England; Welford, Berkshire; Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary; Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough
Description: Dawn. A paperboy in Clevedon, England, discovers a 5-foot-wide, saucer-shaped, metallic object in a field. He calls the police, who send it to the guided weapons division of British Aerospace, whose chief design engineer declares it an expensive hoax. Soon five identical objects are found in fields and golf courses in the southern part of England. The sites lie on a straight path 220 miles long that spans 1° of latitude, running west to east from Clevedon to the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary. A USAF intelligence officer takes photos of one in Welford, Berkshire, and chemists with Britain’s Home Office analyze samples of a foul liquid that is seeping from one of the objects. But the objects are a prank involving 15 engineering apprentices, primarily Christopher Southall and Roger Palmer, at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough. The objects are made of fiberglass, and the smelly liquid is a fermented mixture of flour and water.

It seemed to be gesticulating but she did not get a good look because she began screaming and the creature flew off. Her brother in law and her parents saw the creature flying off over the neighborhood rooftops. It was surrounded by a yellow glow. Gumersindo Neiro, her brother in law, got the best view from his own room. When he heard her screaming he looked out his window and saw a little being shove off from the window sill. It "soared as if he were lighter than air, with its hands and feet pointed backwards." The creature flew eastward and out of sight among the tall buildings in that part of the city. They all said he was wearing a kind of metallic suit, and the odor of "melted iron" lingered in the air.

Event 29439 (3975FA1E)

Date: 9/9/1967
Locations: San Luis Valley, Colorado; Great Sand Dunes National Monument; Ross Medical Center in Denver; Great Sand Dunes; Pueblo Chieftain; Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine; Alamosa
Description: A 3-year-old saddle horse named Lady [not Snippy] belonging to Nellie Lewis of the Harry King Ranch in the San Luis Valley, Colorado, just south of Great Sand Dunes National Monument, is found dead a couple days after it has gone missing. The animal appears to have been skinned from the neck to the shoulders, which are nothing but bleached bones. The cut in the neck looks smooth and surgical. The soil beneath the horse is damp, and there is a medicine-like smell. A nearby bush is flattened oddly. Alamosa County Sheriff Ben Phillips blames Lady’s death on lightning. A few days later, rangers at Great Sand Dunes arrest John Henry Altshuler, a pathologist at Ross Medical Center in Denver, for trespassing after dark; he has actually gone to the area to look for UFOs. When they find out he is a specialist in blood coagulation, they say they will drop the arrest record if he takes a look at the dead horse. He finds that Lady’s lungs, heart, and thyroid are completely missing and finds the complete absence of blood distressing. Altshuler begins to think the dead horse has something to do with the UFOs he had seen when he was in the Great Sand Dunes. Nellie Lewis also admits she has been watching something in the sky every night. Duane Martin, a US Forest Service ranger, records a pulse of unusually high radioactivity near Lady’s carcass, although others think it is only background radiation. The Pueblo Chieftain reports on the case in its October 5 edition and it gets picked up by the AP. Pathologist Robert O. Adams, chief of surgery at Colorado State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, investigates Lady for the Colorado project and concludes that bacteria, birds, and coyotes are responsible for the lack of blood and organs. He finds an infection in the horse’s right flank that could have killed it; the cut at the neck might have been someone’s mercy killing. “Exhaust marks” found are probably fungal infestations, and indentations are probably weathered hoofprints. Alamosa veterinarian Wallace Leary later finds evidence of two bullet holes in Lady’s rump.

Description: 10:42 p.m. According to radar operators at Kincheloe AFB [now Chippewa County International Airport] south of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, more than 20 radar targets appear and disappear over the middle of Lake Superior over an 80-minute period, tracked at speeds of up to 2,000 mph, sometimes turning at sharp right angles and involving separation and merging of distinct targets. Radar at Duluth, Minnesota, has also picked up the targets. The Colorado project sends John Ahrens and Norm Levine to investigate. They check out rumors of visual sightings at Sault Ste. Marie, but these do not conform to the radar trackings. At Duluth, they draw a complete blank with denials all around.

Locations: Hospital da Baleia; Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Description: 10:50 a.m. “Fábio Jose Diniz,” 16, is walking along an asphalt path near the deserted grounds of an isolation unit at Hospital da Baleia on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He notices an object in an adjacent football field. It is shaped like a mushroom with a domed top and surrounded by a row of portholes and a thick central “stalk” in contact with the soil. A hazy screen like a force field drops around the object, and a door appears out of nowhere and slides upward along the column. Two humanlike figures, 6 feet tall, emerge, dressed in one-piece diving suits of greenish material and helmets. One of them carries a tube-like implement, and the other has a probe sticking up from his helmet and talks to Diniz in Portuguese, telling him not to run away. He starts running anyway, but the figure tells him to come back the next day or they will take his family. The figure reenters the UFO, which takes off vertically. He sees psychologist and UFO researcher Hulvio Aleixo, who says he is in severe shock. At the landing site, police find some foul-smelling black material that crumbles easily. This is examined by geophysicist Roberto Murto, who finds it is made of iron, magnesium, and silica. An impression like a large footprint is also found. Aleixo subjects the boy to psychological testing and he finds no disorder. The UFO fails to return the next day.

Event 29477 (BA015348)

Location: USA, Winstead (Connecticut)
Description: (Translated from French) Strange creatures are observed in the glow of an elliptical shaped light. They are observed near a barn, and howl, like the wind, when they are caught in the beams of headlights. The silhouettes, run on human legs, towards the object which fades away. Around 9pm, two young girls at the window of the upper floor, see a large light come above a large tree, at some distance. The light appeared as big as a Volkswagen. At a few hundred meters distance, it was white and became red, dancing up and down. Alone at home, the young girls were scared. Then they heard noises in the barn a few meters from the house. It was like a coffee grinder that someone was trying to start. Looking in that direction, they saw three dark creatures, about one and a half meters tall, at some distance, standing near the mailbox.

Event 29496 (B1B39A93)

Date: 9/18/1967
Location: ROMANIA, Danube Delta.
Description: (Translated from French) I was on the ferry-boat Tulcea - Sfintul-Gheorghe, on the starboard bridge, it was 8:30 pm. A light rain was falling from the uniformly cloudy sky and it was very dark. At 8:45 pm the clouds changed color, very high above me and became luminous with a red fringe all around. Suddenly, without any noise, a luminous object appeared, shaped like a frying pan with its tail. It was going west. It stopped abruptly at 500 or 600 m from the boat and at perhaps 200 or 300 m in height. It was swaying, a bit like the flame of a candle. The disc seemed to be 5 to 6 m in diameter, as well as the tail whose base was half the size of the disc and which was getting thinner and thinner towards the end. The disc was a dark red, more precisely a garnet. At its periphery and the elongated part of the tail it had the color of methane when it burns. Globular sparks were ejected from the tail but they disappeared as soon as they came out. I was stunned, if not scared. After staying there for about four minutes, the object slowly pivoted around an axis without making any noise, then returned to its initial position. It then resumed its advance on my left parallel to the surface of the water pointing its tail towards the west. Then it stopped again after covering 200 to 300 m. Finally it disappeared into the clouds, still without a sound and without having made any lateral maneuver. The object had described a total U-shaped trajectory. I then looked at my watch again: it was 8:52 pm

As the man tried to sit up, the attacker encircled his neck with its arm trying to choke him. A horse in the nearby stables began neighing and the attacker let go and fled. The man screamed for help and was found to have several cuts and abrasions where he had been scratched by claws or sharp fingernails. A short while later another stable worker heard a horse acting up again, and as he approached the stall a small figure about the size of a boy, 3.5 feet tall, "zoomed" out of the stall and was gone in seconds. The figure was described as a hairy dwarf, and looking like a chimpanzee or monkey. The horse was skitish for several days following the incident.

Location: ARGENTINA
Description: (Translated from French) Carlos Peccinetti and Fernando Jose Villegas, employees at the casino, had finished work and were in a car on their way home. Arriving at the deserted stretch of Calle Neuquen, they saw a strange machine hovering above a vacant lot, less than a meter from the ground. It was a saucer. At the same time, the car lights went out and a powerful spotlight lit up the strange craft. Before they could realize what was happening, three dwarves with big heads were sliding towards the motorists, who were completely paralyzed, while they saw other dwarves near the UFO. Suddenly feeling extremely tired, they both lost consciousness. Upon waking up, they noticed puncture marks on the tips of their fingers and they had also received a telepathic explanation (...)

Date: 9/26/1967
Description: In the middle of the afternoon a woman was alone in her house in Seaford, Long Island, New York when she heard a loud humming sound coming from outside. Looking out the window, she saw a hovering silvery disc-shaped object, perfectly smooth without any visible openings. While she was watching her doorbell rang. When she answered the door she was confronted by a tall dark woman wearing a shimmering long gray gown. The woman asked her some questions, apparently confusing her for somebody else. She then asked for a glass of water and salt, claiming that she had to take a pill. When she left she walked away into the bushes, and moments later the humming sound got louder then the disc rose up and shot up into the sky.

Description: The Rocky Mountain News publishes a commentary by Condon wherein he debunks UFOs and disparages NICAP’s contributions. It quotes Low in a similar vein. Condon talks to the project staff and retracts nothing, only saying that he was misquoted about being disenchanted about the project. Project members hold a meeting without Low and Condon to decide what to do. Levine pushes for mass resignation. Craig is the sole dissenter. Saunders sides with Levine but wants to explore other strategies. Ultimately, they decide to prepare their own report, one “so compelling that Condon would be forced to accept it on its merits.”

Event 29574 (B22428B3)

Date: 10/1967
Location: USSR
Description: (Translated from French) (cf: November 29, 1966) There were two other Soviet satellites with identical characteristics: Cosmos 185 launched into orbit in October 1967 and Cosmos 316, later in December 1969. Only Cosmos 185, among the four, had a relatively high inclination (64°) and performed maneuvers. It re-entered the atmosphere 15 months later. Such a short life span is surprisingly short for a satellite (...) The rapid fall of Cosmos 185 could thus lead to the idea that it was hollow. (October 1967)

Description: Valeriano Ruiz Fontes, a 28-year-old radio technician, observed an illuminated object at 10:30 p.m. in Tibidabo, Barcelona, Spain which he first took to be a large Jeep. However, It was hovering just above the ground about 700-800 yards away. It was about 14 feet long, with half a dozen oval illuminated windows, and had on top a square turret. Near the UFO were four people of normal stature wearing dark uniforms and bright helmets. Two of the beings climbed up the turret, manipulating or fixing some fittings there, while the other two were examined the underside of the object. After watching for about half an hour, the external lights were extinguished, showing only the illuminated portholes. The object then rose vertically with no noise to about 500 feet, showing yellow, red orange, and a triangle of blue-green lights, and took off at extremely high speed.

It had lights around its rim, and it flew off toward the southeast. At 8:40 p.m. a glowing Saturn-shaped object with a fuzzy amber center flew over Cambridge, Massachusetts. It had white lights sparkling around its circumference. This too was not the barium cloud experiment, which they had seen earlier in the evening.

Event 29598 (70917255)

Date: 10/4/1967
Location: CANADA off Shag Harbour (Nova Scotia)
Description: (Translated from French) The Royal Canadian Air Force confirms the appearance of a brightly lit UFO, seeming to glide over the waters off Shag Harbour. Many coastal inhabitants had seen it. Then, a bubbling of water had occurred, accompanied by yellowish foam. The Canadian Navy had sent some small vessels to the scene; but the UFO had apparently eluded them. (Donald KEYHOE: "The Space Strangers" - Pocket Press 1975 - p. 158) Yvan T.SANDERSON dates this event October 4, 1967. The affair was reported in detail by the Light Herald of Yarmouth, N.S.: The object was first seen at 11:30 pm on Wednesday night, in the Shag Harbour area, Shelburne County, near Bon Portage Island. David Kendricks, who was driving a car with a friend, Norman Smith, in the area between Cape Sable Island and Shag Harbour, saw a bright red-orange light in the sky above Bear Point. According to him, the lights were tiny and seemed lined up in a row, and at one point they blinked. These lights formed an angle of 45°, plunging to the right, advancing in order from bottom to top. Approximately at the same time, Laurie Wiggins, nineteen years old, observed the object as he drove in a car with four other people in Woods Harbour. According to him, there were four lights in a row that went out and lit up in turn and leaned at an angle of 45°. They slowly disappeared into the water. As they got out of the car, they saw the lights change to become a single white light that swayed on the water about 800 meters offshore. Wiggins then called the R.C.M.P. (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) of Wood's Harbour who arrived at the scene after 20 minutes. Constable Ron O'Brien of the Barrington detachment of the R.C.M.P. and two other officers saw the light floating on the water about 800 m from the coast and reported that it was being carried out to sea by the tide and that it disappeared before they could reach it by boat. Meanwhile, a large number of other witnesses reported lights at the same time and in the same area. The R.C.M.P. immediately called the Canadian Coast Guard station in Clark's Harbour and Rescue Boat No. 101 plus eight local fishing boats began to search the area. After an hour, the boats had arrived at the place where the object had disappeared and reported a very large area of bubbling water and foam. According to one of the fishermen, the foam was 25 meters wide and it was yellowish; he said he had never seen anything like it in the area. Seven divers from the navy searched for two and a half days but found nothing and these searches were abandoned. The possibility that it could have been an airplane was ruled out by the Canadian authorities; no aircraft was reported missing.

Locations: Nova Scotia; Sambro; Brier Island; Weymouth; Shag Harbour; Highway 3; Gulf of Maine; Clark's Harbour; Halifax; Ottawa; Royal Canadian Air Force headquarters; Royal Canadian Navy headquarters; HMCS Granby; Shelburne Harbour
Description: From early evening until 11:30 p.m., numerous independent witnesses observe unexplained aerial activity in Nova Scotia. Near Sambro at 9:00 pm, Capt. Leo Howard Mersey and 20 crewmembers of the MV Nickerson see four brilliant red lights in a rectangular formation that appear to be on or just above the water. Occasionally one flares up so brightly that it causes an afterimage in their eves. The objects are also tracked on ship’s radar. They file a report with the Lunenburg CMP office. Between 11:00 and 11:30 pm, northwest of Brier Island, the captain and crew of a fishing vessel see a brilliant white light the size of the moon. As they watch, three brilliant yellow lights emerge and form a triangle around the larger light. The satellite objects then move across the sky and back at high speed. Observations are also made by other vessels. Five miles southwest of Weymouth, a policeman and three game wardens see an orange-colored light just above the tree line moving silently and slowly with spark-like objects emanating. At about 11:20 p.m., just west of Shag Harbour, Laurie Wickens and four other teenagers driving in a car along Highway 3 see an object flying low, flashing four lights one after the other, in a straight line. It appears to be slowly descending at a 45° angle. Multiple witnesses hear a whistling sound “like a bomb,” then a “whoosh,” and finally a loud bang. When next seen by the teens, the object has hit the water’s surface 820– 980 feet offshore. It drifts on the surface, showing a pale-yellow light. Wickens contacts the RCMP detachment in Barrington Passage and reports he has seen a large airplane or small airliner crash into the waters off Shag Harbour. Within about 15 minutes, 10 RCMP officers arrive at the scene. Concerned for survivors, the RCMP detachment contacts the Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax to advise them of the situation and ask if any aircraft were missing. Before any attempt at rescue can be made, the object starts to sink and disappears from view. A rescue mission is quickly assembled. Within half an hour of the crash, local fishing boats go out to the crash site in the waters of the Gulf of Maine off Shag Harbour to look for survivors. No survivors, bodies, or debris are found, either by the fishermen or by a Canadian Coast Guard search and rescue cutter, which arrives about an hour later from nearby Clark’s Harbour. By the next morning, RCC Halifax has determined that no aircraft are missing. The same morning, RCC Halifax also sends a priority telex to the Air Desk at Royal Canadian Air Force headquarters in Ottawa, which handles all civilian and military UFO sightings, informing them of the crash and that all conventional explanations such as aircraft or flares have been dismissed. The head of the Air Desk, Squadron Leader William Bain sends another priority telex to the Royal Canadian Navy headquarters concerning the “UFO report” and recommends an underwater search be mounted. The RCN in turn sends another priority telex tasking Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic with carrying out the search. A detachment of RCN divers from Fleet Diving Unit Atlantic is assembled on the HMCS Granby on October 6 and for the next three days they comb the seafloor looking for an object. The final report says no trace of an object is found. In the 1990s, researcher Chris Styles finds evidence that there is a second crash the same night. Witnesses see American naval exercises in Shelburne Harbour 30 miles to the northeast. Speculation is that the original object may have traveled underwater from Shag Harbour to Shelburne.

Event 29604 (C72489DD)

Date: 10/4/1967
Description: At 11:20 p.m. Atlantic Daylight Time at least one and most likely two separate UFOs dove or crashed into the ocean near Bon Portage Island, in the area of Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. There were at least a dozen independent witnesses to the event. Canadian Navy divers searched the area for three days but found nothing. This followed a series of six UFO sightings across Quebec and Nova Scotia beginning at 7:19 p.m., when Air Canada Captain Pierre Guy Charbonneau, flying between Sherbrooke and St. Jean, sighted an orange rectangular object followed by a series of smaller lights, followed by a sizeable explosion near the large object that turned into a big white ball-shaped cloud. The cloud turned red, then violet, and then blue. Two minutes later there was another explosion that turned into a second sphere which was orange in color. Like the first one it too eventually faded to blue. The smaller lights on the "kite tail" broke formation with the rectangular object and began to dance around the spheres like fireflies.

Description: At seven o'clock in the evening numerous strong radar targets were detected at the same time that elliptical, fuzzy objects with red and green lights were seen overhead at Vandenburg AFB, California. At least two objects were picked up on five separate radars. Scrambled jet fighters did not find them. They moved at speeds of 80 knots, and changed altitude. Most targets were over the ocean. The various Air Force explanations of mirages, birds, and anomalous propagation have been judged to be lacking in credibility.

Event 29614 (29CEE085)

Date: 10/6/1967
Description: An abduction and sexual encounter occurred in Belfast, Northern Ireland at 10:45 p.m. Eugene Browne was walking home from a jazz club when he saw a craft in the sky. A yellow light came from it, which danced around him and made him feel dizzy and soon lose consciousness. He awoke on an exam table in a windowless, oblong room that was lit by a blue light from the floor. He was strapped by metal bands attached to an apparatus on the side of the table. Four men and a woman surrounded him; although they were human in appearance they had a bluish aura. The tallest was dressed in a dark one-piece uniform and said, "at last, someone who will do," and released him. The woman had long blond hair, high cheekbones and was very fair with a freckled complexion. He had sex with her and she told him they were "from another galaxy" and were experimenting to obtain human seed. Afterwards he was tied up and told it would not be long before he was returned. He blacked out again and recovered in a field about a mile from his original location. He had been abducted for about 40 minutes. He saw the object leave, which took off with a whistling sound as it retracted its tripod landing gear and flew off. He reportedly suffered somephysiological effects after the encounter.

Date: 10/7/1967
Locations: Alberta; Raspberry Ridge Lookout Station
Description: 8:00 p.m. Russell Hill is sitting down to dinner at the Raspberry Ridge Lookout Station in Alberta when the cabin lights begin to flicker. He goes out to check the generator and sees an odd green light moving slowly up the valley from south to north. It approaches to within 500 feet of the cabin. The object is about 75 feet in diameter and looks like two bowls clamped together. Around the rim is a pulsating green light that seems to come from a neon tube. Another green light is rotating slowly inside the top portion, and there are porthole-shaped indentations in the side. Suddenly the light on the rim is extinguished, the upper gfreen light turns white, and the object ascends at a terrific speed, trailing jets of flame.

The Lorenzens suspect the project has a CIA mole. (Low did work for the CIA in 1949 when it was aiding Albanian resistance fighters.)

Event 29633 (8F416B3B)

Date: 10/10/1967
Description: At 12:45 a.m. Norman Cory was driving home in Lakewood, Colorado when he was flagged down by a tall man with a forked goatee. The man was well over six feet tall, and was wearing a jacket with four gold bars on each shoulder. The man talked to the witness without moving his lips, presumably by telepathy. He asked where the North Star was, and what the date was; in response to the answer, he replied, "In your primitive time." He then asked what the witness had in his mouth, and on being told it was a cigarette, he replied, "Oh, one of your primitive vices." He next asked about the car and said, "Oh, your primitive mode of transportation." When the witness asked him who he was and where he was from, the man replied, "I cannot tell you now, but my colleagues and I will return." Then the man walked about four feet away from the roadside and vanished. Norman then heard a noise and looked up and saw hovering overhead a red object the size of a football field. With a whining noise it went straight up, and then was joined by two more objects, and all three shot away at a tremendous speed.

Event 29637 (74831EA9)

Date: 10/11/1967
Location: SWITZERLAND, Oberhrendingen (Aargau)
Description: (Translated from French) Othmar Willi observed three cylindrical objects with portholes while they hovered about 5 m above a cornfield. Each craft had a small cone and made a sound like that of a swarm of bees. Their dimensions were estimated to be 10 meters in length and 5 meters in diameter. (Jean-Marie DOUCHET - Nostra - 144 of 1979) They were turning slowly and the witness saw two rows of windows in the upper part of the craft. A very particular light was coming out of these small windows. The cylinders emitted a sound like the buzzing of a swarm of bees. Suddenly a hatch opened under one of the craft and a kind of rope appeared at the end of which was suspended an ovoid shape. A container? This stopped at the level of the corn ears, and only the container was illuminated by a light. Then the container was raised. All this lasted about a minute. The three cylinders suddenly started and left at a crazy speed. (Perrin Jack R.: "The Mystery of UFOs" - J'ai Lu / Pygmalion 1976 - pp. 23 to 25) Shortly after midnight, in the night from Tuesday 10 to Wednesday 11 October 1967, while he was contemplating the sky while savoring a last pipe, Mr. Othmar Willi, 37 years old, single, from Oberehrendingen, in the canton of Aargau, saw three cylindrical objects (in a vertical position), surmounted by a small cone, descend from the sky and station themselves about fifty meters from his house, about five meters above a cornfield. The cylinders were 10 meters high and had a diameter of about five meters, estimates Mr. Willi. (...)

The objects dart about sideways, backwards, in circles, in jagged lines, and in formation. When Gregory’s writer, Jim Saunders, signals with a flashlight, the objects seem to respond by moving in the same direction as the beam. The partygoers watch the lights for about 40 minutes. Gregory takes two Polaroid photographs that show a red object at the top and two green ones at the bottom.

Location: USA, Bluff Creek (California)
Description: (Translated from French) … interesting film taken by Roger Patterson (deceased since) a rancher from Yakima (Washington). (…) Having learned that traces had been found along Bluff Creek, he went there accompanied by an experienced hunter, Bob Gimlin. (…) on the morning of October 20th (…) he saw a huge being partly hidden by a large fallen tree trunk due to the flooding of the stream on the edge of which it was drinking. Patterson's horse began to tremble all over, refused to go any further, snorted and finally fell on its side. "The creature was on my left, about 40 meters away on the other side of the stream. It had an almost human face but the features were much more fleeting, the forehead wide, the nostrils flared. When it walked, the ends of its arms reached almost to its knees. Its body, except for the face, was covered with brown hair between 5 and 10 cm long and appearing lighter on the surface than at the root. (…) pendulous breasts. The creature (…) crossed a sandbank and began to flee towards the hill. The rancher grabbed his camera (…) the (?) humanoid beast turned around and looked at its pursuer with insistence and curiosity. Then, without more, it entered the woods and disappeared (…) Bernard Heuvelmans believes that the film is a hoax, as does John Napier

Description: Night. Edward Fortney and another real-estate agent are locking up for the night in Charleswood, a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba, when they notice a formation of brilliant red, pulsating lights above an adjacent field. They are joined by six other people who have stopped their car to look at the lights. Two similar lights appear and take up a position near the formation. The objects then rise and move away noiselessly in formation. Floating above Canada Highway 100, they appear to change positions, forming a perfect triangle. Fortney looks at them through binoculars and sees dark rectangular objects that the lights are attached to. The formation dips and bobs toward a line of high-voltage towers half a mile away. The three lights in triangular formation break up and form a single file, the wires and towers lighting up with a red glow as they speed over them. They are last seen traveling northwest. On his way home, Fortney experiences a “skullbuster” headache that lasts until midnight. The next day, he visits the site in the field and finds child-like footprints in the moist soil, 7 inches long and under 3 inches wide, leading to and from a peculiar circular pile of fist-sized stones. The heel marks seem deeply impressed in the soil. Fortney also experiences leg and back pain, sunburn on his face and hands, and a yellow- green coating on his tongue.

Date: 10/24/1967
Description: At 9:30 p.m. Donald Chiszar, age 13, and Pat Crosier, age 10, reported seeing a large light that came closer and hovered over a house in Newfield, New York only 50 yards away. It was a round object with a cupola and antenna on top, and it had an oblong box on the bottom with red, green, and white lights. It was of a dull silver color, about 30 feet in diameter and 6-8 feet high. Around the rim were square shaped red and white lights. It tilted toward them, and they could see two big, square windows separated by a bar in the dome. Through these windows two humanoid beings were visible, each less than 5'7" tall, with "rocky or bumpy" skin of a chocolate brown color. They stood motionless, peering out, while several additional shadows shadows were seen moving behind them. Knobs and electronic equipment were visible inside the lighted section. The domed disc hovered in the same spot for about two minutes, tilted upward in the rear. Then the rim lights became very bright, it assumed a horizontal attitude, and shot away at great speed "like a puff of wind." The following night, Chiszar told investigators he saw two more of the same flying objects. The boys claimed their walkie-talkies malfunctioned during the observation, and a nearby dog was barking.

Event 29750 (536E3653)

Date: 10/24/1967
Description: On this evening George W. Ritter and three other soldiers were on guard duty at the Hunter Liggett Military Reservation in California when they all observed an orange fluorescent oval-shaped craft slowly approach, leaving a trail behind it. A hatch opened in the bottom of the craft and five small drones dropped out of it. These formed into a V formation and began hovering above the witnesses. As the men looked up they became mesmerized, and Ritter began hearing a "blip-blip" sound like sonar. All four felt paralyzed at this point. Ritter's next recollection was of being abruptly lifted up into one of the objects. He then found himself lying on the floor of the craft with a Grey humanoid looking down on him. The other three soldiers were nowhere in sight. The being had large black oval-shaped eyes, grayish skin, and did not appear to be wearing any clothing. He saw three other similar smaller creatures that appeared to be assistants. He next heard a voice in his head telling him that he was not going to be hurt. Inside the object there was a misty weird light, resembling a black light. He was then given a shot in his thigh near the groin, and then one of the beings came up to his left side and somehow put his whole hand inside the upper left side of his chest. After some time he was taken into another room where he saw a bright ball of light; it communicated telepathically with Ritter and emanated a sensation of energy and love. Ritter was told that "something wonderful was going to happen" in the near future His next recollection was of standing back on the ground, looking up, but the objects had gone. He and the other men reported the incident to the military authorities, and as a result Ritter spent two months in a military mental hospital.

Event 29764 (C8702CA2)

Date: 10/25/1967
Locations: Truro, Nova Scotia; Moncton, New Brunswick; Wentworth Station, Nova Scotia
Description: 3:15 p.m. R. G. Putnam, a brakeman on a train running from Truro, Nova Scotia, to Moncton, New Brunswick, when he sees a disc with green vapor billowing from it pacing the train at treetop level near Wentworth Station, Nova Scotia. Putnam feels an intense blast of radiation, forcing him to cover his face with his hands to look at it. The object soon drifts away from the train, tips to a 45° angle, then turns to a vertical poistion. A jet arrives, seemingly in pursuit, and the object levels out, taking on the appearance of a cigar-shaped cloud. Both fly out of sight to the west after 35 minutes of observation. One week later, the hair on the back of Putnam’s hands disappears, his hands shrivel up, and his eyes are sore and swollen. Two weeks later, his chest and throat get sore. He reports the sighting to the RCMP and the Canadian Forces, but apparently gets no response.

Event 29778 (E4983B20)

Date: 10/26/1967
Locations: Moigne Downs; Ringstead Bay; Dorset, England
Description: 11:25 a.m. J. B. W. “Angus” Brooks, a former BOAC pilot and photo interpreter, is walking his Dalmatian and German shepherd at Moigne Downs near Ringstead Bay, Dorset, England. An odd-looking craft descends and hovers at an altitude of 200–300 feet at a distance of about a quarter mile from them for 22 minutes. The German shepherd has been foraging for game; when she returns she seems “distraught” as she stands beside Brooks. Her ears are pricked, indicating she is worried about the sounds she is hearing, although Brooks can detect no sound from the object. The odd-shaped craft has a central round chamber estimated to be 25 feet in diameter and 12 feet thick. Four long slender fuselages (estimated 75 feet long and 8 feet wide) extend from the central chamber. In flight, one of the 4 fuselages leads, while the other three are together in the rear. As the object slows to hover, the fuselages move to form a cross. The object rotates 90°, then remains motionless for 22 minutes despite strong winds. Upon departure, the leading fuselage is not the one that led on approach. The remaining 3 fuselages come together in the rear as on the approach, and the object climbs away with increasing speed. The craft appears translucent, taking on the color of the sky above it. There are dark shadows along the bases of the fuselages and the center chamber. On future visits to this area, the German shepherd appears nervous.

Description: (Translated from French) A Parshall (North Dakota), close observation, distance less than 150 m, by 2 independent witnesses, one of them a police officer. The observers were far apart, which allowed for triangulation and the calculation of the distance afterwards. Duration of observation 5 minutes. The observed object first moved horizontally, then made a stationary flight with yo-yo movements, and finally a sudden final ascent. Excerpt from the policeman's account: I had to sit and watch it for 5 good minutes. It bounced like a ball that would jump to a musical rhythm, but when it left - bang - it disappeared in less than 5 seconds. It went straight up, without deviating... I thought it was guided by someone or something, because a balloon floating in the air would not move like that. (3 h)

Event 29796 (97C415F2)

Date: 10/27/1967
Location: Atlantic northeast of Jacksonville, Florida
Description: 3:00 a.m. Charlie Little, the pilot of a Piper-Twin Comanche, with two other pilots and a passenger on board, is flying over the Atlantic northeast of Jacksonville, Florida. They see a bright light, which becomes visible as six huge, round, bright-white lights in a horizontal row on a darker object. It approaches on a collision course and is seen to be a gray equilateral triangle with a triangular opening at its center. The object makes an unbanked 180° turn, then takes off and disappears in a flash.

Event 29797 (1F6BCBEA)

Date: 10/27/1967
Location: Parshall, North Dakota
Description: 3:00 a.m. A waitress driving home in Parshall, North Dakota, sees a large, round, revolving object with alternating triangular areas of coloration. The object is low and moving horizontally an estimated two blocks away. As it paces her car, she sees 2–3 white light beams coming down vertically from the object. Her car drives like it has flat tires or rocks that are hitting the bottom of the chassis. A second witness, police Lt. Glen G. Brunsell, sees a low-altitude, bright round light like a welding-torch that illuminates the ground. The object moves slowly with vertical oscillations and changes color from blue to green-white. It departs vertically, disappearing in 5 seconds.

Date: 10/27/1967
Description: At four a.m. a crackling sound was heard over the Bacup, Lancashire, England police station's short wave radio, so police officer B. Earnshaw went outside to investigate. He saw a 50 foot long cigar-shaped object flying at a low altitude, estimated to be only 250 feet. It had portholes on the side and no visible means of propulsion. It was metallic looking yet glowed, and made a whirring noise. At 4:15 a.m. six on-duty police officers in Glossop, Derbyshire, England saw the same UFO from different locations. The object was "swinging from side to side" in a pendulum motion.

Description: In Santa Adelita, Sao Paolo State, Brazil Mr. P, age 51, was driving home at around 11:00 p.m. when he came to the top of a ridge he saw an aluminum colored object hovering 200 feet away, just four feet above the ground. It was plate shaped with a convex bottom side, and about 30 feet in diameter. When he got to within 50 feet of it his car motor stopped. He described the object as "full of lights", red and other colors, which alternately blinked on and off. Standing near the saucer was a robustly built man about 5-1/2 feet tall, dressed in a light colored garment (the witness could not specify the color because he was color blind). This being walked in front of the witness and turned on a very bright white beam of light from a flashlight like object. The witness thought he would be assaulted, so he half opened the car door, steadied his .22 revolver on it, and fired 6 shots at the UFO occupant. He reported that he was a good shot with this revolver, and after shooting he could no longer see him. Then the saucer-shaped craft began to oscillate, and he heard a sound like a cowbell. At last, the UFO flew away on an oblique course.

Event 29818 (20489EB0)

Date: 10/30/1967
Locations: Mayanup; Kojonup; Western Australia
Description: 9:30 p.m. Alexander Spargo is traveling alone in his car on the Mayanup–Kojonup road about 10 miles east of Mayanup in Western Australia at a speed of about 60–65 miles per hour. He is approached by a lighted object from the sky. A beam of light comes from a “tube” on the object and immerses the car. Almost immediately, the car stops dead. However, there is no feeling of deceleration. The vehicle’s motor, lights, and radio go off. Spargo hears no noise. The tube seems 2–3 feet in diameter. It is not uncomfortable to the eyes. After about 5 minutes, the tube closes off and the object disappears. His vehicle is suddenly going at 60–65 miles per hour again, with no feeling of acceleration. The object is only seen from underneath, but he estimates its diameter as 30 feet and about 100 feet up in the air. It glows an iridescent blue.

Event 29820 (82691A41)

Date: 10/30/1967
Description: Approaching his home in Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada at 9:00 p.m. Donald Marshall saw a light beyond it. When he got closer he saw that it was an object with a large rectangular lighted panel that hovered 12 feet off the ground, 200 feet away. The rectangular lighted panel was about 4 feet high and 16 feet long. It appeared to be a large window in the object whose shape was not clearly seen, but was perhaps 50 feet long. A bright spotlight came on, and he saw then three small humanoid figures, the size of ten-year-old children, coming from the machine. They moved very fast, wore green uniforms, and some type of headgear. They disappeared into the darkness, and the craft took off slowly at about 5 mph. It moved at first into a gully, breaking some trees, where it remained for another 3 or 4 minutes. The total time during which Marshall observed the object was 18-19 minutes. Broken trees were found near the site.

Event 29840 (C096988F)

Date: 11/2/1967
Locations: Navajo ranch; Ririe, Idaho; US Highway 26; Willard Hammon's farmhouse; Ririe and Rigby, Idaho
Description: 9:30 p.m. Navajo ranch hands Willie Begay and Guy Tossie, both 23, are driving south of Ririe, Idaho, on US Highway 26 when they are blinded by a flash of light. Their car comes to a stop, and immediately in front of them they see an object 6–8 feet in diameter and 3 feet thick, hovering 5 feet off the ground and shaped like two saucers joined together. Around the rim is a row of alternately flashing orange and green lights. On top is a transparent dome, where two small entities are visible. The dome flips open, and one occupant floats out and approaches the car. It is 3 feet tall, bald, with ears set high on its head, round eyes, and a mouth like a slit. It is wearing tight-fitting coveralls and carries a pack on its back. It opens the car door and sits behind the wheel as Begay and Tossie move in horror to the right. The car begins to move as if fastened to the craft into a field of wheat stubble where Tossie gets out and runs toward the farmhouse of Willard Hammon for help, followed by another entity apparently holding a light. Begay stays in the front seat of the car with the first entity, who tries to communicate with him, twice saying something in a high, chirruping voice. The second entity returns, and the two float back to the craft, which rises and departs, a yellow flame-like light coming from the bottom. Hammon lets Tossie inside his farmhouse, where he eventually calms down and tells his story. They go back to the site, where they find Begay in a state of shock in the car. At 11:30 p.m., an anonymous witness driving between Ririe and Rigby, Idaho, sees a landed UFO with a small occupant who stops the car and taps on the side window.

Event 29842 (BC33D5B3)

Date: 11/2/1967
Description: At 9:30 p.m. two 23-year-old Navajo Indians, Guy Tossie and Willy Begay, were driving south of Ririe, Idaho when they were blinded by a flash of white light. Their car engine stalled and came to a stop and immediately ahead of them, hovering just five feet off the ground, they saw a domed disc-shaped UFO 6-8 feet in diameter and perhaps three feet thick. On top was a transparent bubble dome, occupied by two small entities. The dome flipped open and one of the occupants floated out and to the ground, then approached the car. Through the UFO's flashing lights the men were able to see that the being was no more than three feet tall, and bald with ears set up high on his head. His facial skin looked scarred and wrinkled, "like a cantaloupe." His eyes were round and showed no pupils, and his mouth had lips so thin as to be barely visible. They saw no nose. He was wearing tight fitting coveralls and carried a pack on his back.

To their horror, the being opened the car door and seated himself behind the wheel. Both of the men slid over to the right as far as they could as the car was towed, or driven, off the highway and out into a field of wheat stubble. As soon as the car's motion stopped a terrified Tossie jumped out of the right side of the car, and began running to the farmhouse of William Hammon a quarter of a mile away. As he ran, he found his shadow preceding him, as though a bright light were shining on him from behind. In the car, Begay cowered in the right side of the front seat as the little being attempted to communicate with him, twice saying something incomprehensible in a high, chirruping voice. Getting no response, the being got out of the car and joined the second being, and then the two floated into the UFO which took off and zig-zagged into the sky as it departed.

At the Hammon farmhouse Tossie banged on the door screaming for help. The farmer and Bob his son admitted him, and it took a period of time to calm him sufficiently to get his story. By the time they accompanied him back to the field the object had departed and Begay was found in a state of near shock in the front seat. The farmer had to escort the youths by car their fear was so great. There were attendant sightings in the area, and cattle had been reportedly "spooked" on several farms that night.

His diesel engine continued to run and assuming a simple short circuit, he stopped to look for the cause of this sudden malfunction. Before he had time to get out of the cab, he was surprised to see a curious ovoid object moving from right to left across the road in front of him, about 7.50m from the ground. It was magenta in color with a white base and was about 24 meters long, large enough to overshadow both sides of the road as it crossed it, exhaling a smell like "a drill bit attacking wood" and making a sound like "that of a refrigerator". As it crossed the road, the craft gradually accelerated, and after a few seconds it disappeared completely from Farlow's field of vision. Farlow then realized that a Jaguar that had come from the opposite direction was broken down on the other side of the UFO's trajectory. Its driver, a veterinarian, approached Farlow and explained that his vehicle was out of service and that his passenger was in a state of hysteria. He then offered to call the police, which they did. The police joined them shortly afterwards. A preliminary inspection of the site revealed that the surface of the road seemed to have melted. The veterinarian's passenger, in shock, was taken to the hospital.

Description: 1:30 a.m. On a section of the A338 road [now B3347] south of Sopley, Hampshire, England, truck driver Karl Farlow (or Barlow) finds that the lights on his diesel truck have failed. As he pulls over, he sees a glowing, 15-foot-wide, egg-shaped UFO that moves slowly across the road from the right, passes slowly to the left, then speeds up and disappears. The object makes a sound like a refrigerator and gives off a smell like a drill boring through wood. Before it goes away, a Jaguar sports car comes from the opposite direction, and its engine stalls and lights fail. The UFO glows a vivid green color. The diesel engine is not affected. The driver of the Jaguar is a veterinary surgeon, and he and Farlow call the police from a nearby call box. The witnesses note that there are marks on the ground and the road surface seems to have melted. The veterinarian’s girl passenger is taken to a hospital suffering from shock. A week later, Farlow notices that a 200-foot stretch of the road at the encounter site has been completely resurfaced and the call box has been repainted.

Description: Miss Dianne Marable and Mrs. Pearl Robins, nurses, were driving home to Tennessee Ridge and had reached Erin, Tennessee at 11:40 p.m. when they noticed a luminous object in the sky, which they first mistook for the moon. It approached and landed 50 feet in front of them, covering the entire highway. It was dome shaped, in part a fiery orange- yellow color, and in part ash black. Inside the object they could see five dark greenish creatures, four feet tall, "milling about some type of machinery." After five minutes of watching it, they began to approach more closely but the object then swiftly rose up. It traveled a short distance beside their car, then it landed again in a field. The two women again tried to approach it by driving up a gravel road when its lights when out. They could no longer see it, though they could see a bright red light in the sky. The young women then drove home, where they discovered they had experienced 30 minutes of missing time.

They are unaware that the authorities have refused to transmit the enormous mass of top-secret documents on UFOs to General Stolyarov because it was too important for him. (November 10)

Event 29900 (E09BBEEA)

Date: 11/13/1967
Locations: University of Colorado; Colorado project
Description: Condon, Low, and editor Harriet Hunter meet to discuss the final University of Colorado report. Condon deliberately excludes the other senior staff because he is now insisting on no old cases and no “case book.” He insists on including everything in which the Colorado project participated in, even phone calls. He wants to write a section on the harm done by irresponsible UFO authors. The meeting ends with a roughed-out list of subject sections and authors. Condon reserves writing the summary and methodology sections himself. He assigns to Hunter the job of selecting which cases are included and how they are written up (perhaps he no longer trusts Low to do this).

Robertson prepares a 28-page briefing document, CDS Briefing on Unidentified Flying Objects, on the status of UFO sightings in Canada to Gen. Jean Victor Allard, Chief of the Defence Staff. It reviews facts and procedures and describes cases that have been handled within the ministry, including the Falcon Lake and Shag Harbour cases, as well as the Warren Smith photo. Robertson advises that UFO sightings are taking up too much of the military’s time, but that the scientific community, specifically the University of Toronto Institute of Aerospace Studies, might find them interesting.

Description: 6:00 p.m. David Seewaldt, 13, is crossing a vacant lot in Calgary, Alberta. He hears a high-pitched sound and sees a slivery gray UFO the size of a house about to land. A beam of light shoots from it, putting him in a “trance” and pulling him into the craft, where he meets two hideous-looking entities with brown crocodile skin, slits for mouths, and holes for noses and ears. They wear no clothes and have hands with only four fingers. They take Seewaldt’s clothes off and lead him into another room where one studies his hair, eyes, and nose. An orange ceiling light is directed on him and he is given a shot with a small needle. The entities dress him again and beam him back to the field. He runs home in a state of terror and hides under the bed. All conscious memory of the event vanishes until 5 months later, when it returns in a dream. In 1968 he is hypnotically regressed by a Dr. Masson of the University of Alberta.

They looked out a window facing the coastal hills and saw a brilliant metallic disc-shaped object. It landed on a hill opposite the apartment building. The UFO struck and shattered a tree as it came down. Underneath at either end was a red light, and on top was a spinning cupola with slat windows. Three men clad in white coveralls came out of the UFO, which hovered just above the ground. They walked around it side by side with their arms hanging by their sides. After about five minutes they returned to the disc and disappeared underneath it. The two witnesses continued their work and left the building at 2:55 p.m., noticing that the disc was still in the same spot, but by the time they reached a nearby corner the UFO was no longer in view. They had not seen it depart.

Event 29981 (6D4B8E32)

Date: 11/28/1967
Description: At 2:18 a.m. farmer Wilson Gusmao, who had been involved in previous humanoid encounters, was awakened in Alexania, Goias State, Brazil by a telepathic voice that called his name. He got out of bed and upon raising the curtain he noticed a huge bright light resting on the ground about 100 meters from his house. He attempted to wake up his wife but to no avail. He also attempted to get his brother in law to wake up, but with the same negative results. Walking to the living room he could now clearly see a landed object encased in a bright blue glow that was about five meters in diameter. He left a written note to his wife, telling her that he was going to check a landed "spacecraft," grabbed a flashlight, and walked outside. It was raining very heavily at the time that Wilson approached the UFO, getting to within three meters. A bright beam of light then struck Wilson around the waist, causing him to levitate closer to the object and completely paralyzing him. A door now opened and Wilson could see the inside of the craft clearly. He saw four humanoids, all dressed in tight-fitting coveralls. They wore a belts with large buckles that had what looke like "piano keys" on them. The beings stared at Wilson intently. Wilson somehow felt inferior when the humanoids watched him. He described them as human looking with long blond hair. Their skin appeared porcelain-white, as if they had never been exposed to any sunlight. The leader of the group conversed with Wilson and gave him several messages dealing with nuclear armaments on Earth. Wilson was to have later contacts along with members of the Brazilian defense establishment including General Uchoa.

It descended and hovered 50 yards from the ground. It carried searchlights too bright to look at, and made a loud humming sound that made the patrolman's head ache. His police car would not start and its lights went out, as well as the lights in the police booth, but they came back on as soon as the object departed.

Event 30003 (F6C8A0EF)

Date: 12/3/1967
Location: USA, Ashland (Nebraska)
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:30 PM (or 2:30 AM) police officer Herbert Schirmer, patrolling at night in his car, encountered a UFO which paralyzed him with a beam and he had a "conversation" with one of the occupants of the craft. (He saw an object with a row of blinking lights. Thinking it was a truck, the policeman "put on his headlights". The object took off (...) He returned home with a strong headache and heard a buzzing that prevented him from sleeping. He also had a red spot under his left ear) In Boulder (Colorado) he was put into a hypnotic state in order to be questioned about his encounter. It was Dr. Leo Sprinkle, a psychologist at the University of Wyoming, who conducted the hypnosis and the interrogation.

Event 30015 (C2F645BE)

Date: 12/3/1967
Locations: Ashland, Nebraska; US Highway 6; State Route 63; Boulder, Colorado
Description: Early a.m. Police Sgt. Herbert Schirmer checks on restless cattle twice at a barn near Ashland, Nebraska. At 2:30 a.m. he is driving on US Highway 6 when he notices some red lights along State Route 63 that might be a stalled truck. He drives a short distance up that road and stops with his headlights shining on the object. The red lights are blinking through the windows of a disc hovering at a tilt 150 feet away and 6–8 feet above the road. It looks made of shiny, polished aluminum. It ascends slowly with a sort of siren sound and emits a flamelike substance from the bottom. His head sticking out the window, Schirmer watches it pass overhead then shoot up out of sight. He drives back to the police station and writes in the log book, “Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!” He is puzzled to see it is 3:00 a.m. He gets a headache and a buzzing noise in his head. He also has a red welt below one of his ears. In the morning, Chief Bill Wlaskin goes to the site and finds a piece of metal that he shows to Colorado project investigators. It turns out to be composed of iron and silicon. On February 13, 1968, Schirmer is hypnotized in Boulder, Colorado, by R. Leo Sprinkle. During the session he remembers that his car engine and radio failed, and a blurry white object came out of the UFO and communicated with him telepathically. He is taken on board by aliens (who first ask him, “Are you the watchman over this place?”). They are humanoids, 4–5 feet tall with long heads, gray-white skin, and cat-like eyes. They wear silver-gray helmets with small antennas on the left side of the ear area. Their uniforms and gloves are the same color. An unusual feature of this case is the emblem of a winged serpent on the left breast of each entity’s uniform. The Colorado project comes to a predictable conclusion: “Evaluation of psychological assessment tests, the lack of any evidence, and interviews with the patrolmen left project staff with no confidence that the trooper’s reported UFO experience was physically real.” Schirmer undergoes hypnosis again on June 8, 1968, and more details emerge.

Event 30017 (15A6D881)

Date: 12/3/1967
Description: About one-and-a-half hours earlier, at around 2:30 a.m. Central Standard Time, a famous UFO abduction case occurred in Ashland, Nebraska. Mr. Herbert L. Schirmer, a 22-year-old police officer and military veteran, noticed a glow in a nearby paddock while driving his patrol car along a highway. He pulled in to investigate, then his patrol car engine and lights died. He noticed a silver disc about 30 feet in diameter, surrounded by a brilliant orange glow. He remembered that he tried to send a two-way radio message, but an orange and red beam directed at him made it impossible for him to move. He remembered being taken aboard the craft by four aliens about 4.5 to 5 feet tall with slanted eyes. They used language and telepathy to communicate with him. He experienced temporary amnesia for about 30 minutes, followed by headaches and other physiological effects. The case was thoroughly investigated by the Air Force sponsored University of Colorado UFO study, headed by Edward Condon, with mixed conclusions. Hypnosis was used to enhance memory recall, and the two psychological experts called in to evaluate the case developed opposite opinions. One believed the case was a hoax and Mr. Schirmer was a pathological liar, the other felt that Schirmer was totally sincere and found his account convincing.

Date: 12/8/1967
Location: Idaho Falls, Idaho
Description: 7:40 p.m. Marilyn Wilding, 15, goes out on her front step in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to look for a friend. A light reflecting on the snow on the ground causes her to look up, and she sees a brightly lit circular object “about as big as a car” hovering above the house. The object then tips and rotates so she can see it has a transparent dome on top. Inside the dome are two indistinct figures. The object rotates clockwise, maintaining its inclination. It begins moving away; as it recedes into the distance, its light dims and turns orange.

Event 30040 (F7CFD4CB)

Date: 12/10/1967
Description: (Translated from French) In a village (France), observation by 3 very close witnesses (35 m), with confirmation by 3 other observers for the arrival phase, of an ellipsoidal object of 10 to 12 m approximately of large axis, and 5 to 6 m of height, which brightly illuminates the ground with a white beam along its descent trajectory, during 1 minute, at a reconstructed speed of the order of 200 km/h during the descent, then 10 km/h during the village flyover, before making 4 to 5 oscillations in "dead leaf" at very low altitude, then landing in the garden of the main witness. The craft is orange-red luminous, it emits "flames" briefly by one end with a crackling noise while the rest of the 2 to 3 minutes of the total observation takes place in silence. One of the witnesses believes to have observed briefly a small character next to the UFO during the brief landing, then the device takes off slowly, inclines and is then seen as a very luminous red ball of 10 to 15 m in diameter which then suddenly leaves towards the starry sky where it disappears as a luminous point. The reconstructed duration of this sudden rise is 4 to 5 s. No trace was found on the ground. (9:45 PM)

Description: (Translated from French) The voices seemed to come from a loudspeaker saying in unison the same thing, in an English that seemed translated as the words were chopped. (Henry DURRANT: "First Investigations on ET Humanoids" - Laffont 1977 - p. 186) A lady who wishes to remain anonymous had her car stopped by a flying saucer. She was driving towards her house at 7:15 pm with her 5-year-old son in the back seat. Suddenly she saw flashes of light through the windshield. She thought it was a police check. But then she saw an unusual object passing over her car. There were red and green lights, and the object was oval-shaped. The engine slowed down, all the electricity went out, so she stopped barely 40 meters from the first contact. The aerial object remained suspended above the car. Although the radio was not turned on, she heard like a choir, like a group saying the same thing at the same time, in the same tone but in a foreign language. A single voice seemed to speak in English telling her not to be afraid. Then the flying object started to move, and the car too, while the witness was not driving it, over a distance of two miles. When other cars appeared on the road, the UFO left and the witness finally regained normal control of her vehicle.

Description: 7:00 p.m. Rita Malley is driving home from work on Route 34 in Newfield, New York, with her young son. She notices a red light behind her. As it draws closer, she sees it is a disc-shaped object as large as a boxcar moving at about 90 feet above the road. Then it passes overhead and causes the car to go off the road into a ditch, and Malley became terrified. Her son in the back seat looks immobilized with his eyes “bugged out.” A white beam emanates from the humming object above her and she hears voices in her head saying that her son would not remember this and that a friend of hers has been killed in a car accident. (This turns out to be true.) The car then moves out of the ditch and back onto the road facing the wrong way. She finds that she can control the car again and speeds home.

Event 30101 (DE72CD32)

Date: 1968
Location: GRANDE-BRETAGNE, Stratford
Description: (Translated from French) Two people in a car saw a bright disc in the sky. They slowed down, stopped to get a better look, as it moved in sudden jumps and rapid maneuvers. Finally it descended behind the trees and the witnesses continued on their way. However, on the part of the journey between Burford and Stratford one of the witnesses understood surprising news which she described as "Nature" and "Reality" and which were related to the appearance of this bright disc. After dinner at friends that evening, she went out and saw a strange silhouette and she was seized with a cold panic. It had goat or dog legs, was covered in a silky, dark and shiny fur in the darkness. It was crouching and staring at her with green grape-colored eyes without blinking, slit upwards and without pupils: its eyes shone and it was frightening. It had pointed ears and a long muzzle. If it had stood up it must have been 1.50m tall, its hands and fingers were thin like sticks. The witness went back inside to let her panic pass. She then went to see if the creature was still there: it was but had moved further into the shadows. The witness then did not dare pass near that window for the rest of the evening and linked the appearance of this creature to the observation of the bright disc.

Event 30105 (E3364011)

Date: 1968
Location: Red Sea
Description: Presbyterian religious scholar Barry Downing publishes The Bible and Flying Saucers, in which he equates Jesus and angels with space visitors and burning bushes, clouds, and Ezekiel’s chariot with spacecraft.

Event 30108 (DA3A42C9)

Date: 1968
Description: UFO skeptic and electrical engineer Philip J. Klass publishes his first UFO book, UFOs—Identified, in which he theorizes that sightings are caused by ball lightning and anomalous free-floating plasmas. Klass’s plasma hypothesis is not well received by anyone on either side of the UFO debate, who note that Klass is using one unverified phenomenon (his hypothetical plasmas) to explain another unverified phenomenon (UFOs). Klass and physicist James E. McDonald engage in a bitter, 18-month-long debate, leveling a variety of charges and accusations at one another. In September 1968, Klass writes to McDonald’s superiors at the US Navy (McDonald is formally retired from the Navy, but often works with the Office of Naval Research), questioning how McDonald could spend so much time on UFO research and still fulfill the requirements for his atmospheric research grant. This does not result in McDonald losing ONR funding, but it does draw some criticism of Klass from members of the UFO community.

Location: Warsaw Modlin Airport, Poland
Description: 9:00 p.m. A Polish Air Force pilot takes off from Warsaw Modlin Airport, Poland, in a MiG-21 for a short, routine mission. Soon he sees two identical white discs, about 6–10 feet in diameter, moving at the same altitude and speed as his MiG. His wingman also sees them. He approaches to within 50 feet of them. During the 5-minute encounter, radio contact with the controller is lost and contact between the two pilots deteriorates. Four UFOs follow the two MiGs for another 3–6 miles, then they accelerate and overtake them, disappearing ahead.

Event 30114 (F6389B80)

Date: 1968
Description: M.S. Cahn and G.M. Andrew of Northrop Norair publish a paper on Electroaerodynamics in Supersonic Flow, suggesting Northrop was researching methods to reduce the drag of an aircraft by creating an electrostatic field around the craft. “Dan Marckus,” a pseudonym for a source in the British aerospace industry, states in 2002 that the Pentagon pulled the paper and “made it disappear.” Marckus suggested the B-2 Spirit utilized an electrostatic field around the aircraft to reduce drag, something that still has not been publicly admitted.

Note: “Marckus” suggests early efforts at drag reduction through electrogravitics may have developed into more robust antigravitic programs later, almost assuredly done in the black. He argues the fact that white world research on the issue stops in the 1960s suggests it was advanced.

This method is the same Thomas Townsend Brown proposed in the 1950s (see 1952), what Franklin Mead (see June 1972) at Edwards AFB pursued for decades, what Hal Puthoff (see 2002) suggested a black budget program utilizes, and what Mark McCandlish testified (see 9 May 2001) was used to develop USG recreations of UAP craft.

Note: One of the only open source books discussing electrogravitics for aerospace purposes was authored by Thomas Valone, a former patent examiner at the USPTO and co-founder of the Integrity Research Institute. [rg: Also see books/presentations by physicist Paul Laviolette]

Event 30116 (5FE698ED)

Date: Early 1968
Location: Lüda (now Dalian), Liaoning, China
Description: Four artillerymen stationed at the naval garrison at Lüda [now Dalian], Liaoning, China, see a luminous, gold, oval-shaped object that leaves a thin trail in the air. It climbs steeply at high speed and disappears. When it begins to climb, all communications and radar systems fail, nearly causing an accident in the fleet. The naval patrol goes on alert, and the fleet commander orders his men to prepare for combat. After 30 minutes, comms and radar return to normal. A two-man coast guard patrol allegedly sees the UFO land on the south coast and fires at it with automatic weapons.

They glistened like metal, possibly wearing flexible, tight fitting metallic clothing. At her appearance the two little creatures rushed out the front door. She heard quite a loud scrambling around, as if there may have been five or six of them.

They run outside and see a large orange light hovering near the house. For 45 minutes they watch as a series of 6 objects fly in and out of the area. Through binoculars they can see that the objects are triangular or cone-shaped, no more than a mile away, and 500–1,500 feet high. As they watch, one of the objects approaches a commercial airliner, makes a 180° turn without slowing, then follows the aircraft until they are out of sight.

Date: 1/17/1968
Description: Linda, a young woman, was on her way to Junior Achievement class in Ipswich, Massachusetts at around 6:30 p.m. when suddenly some bright lights in the sky attracted her attention. She looked up and saw a cigar-shaped object hovering overhead with bright flashing lights. She watched as it came down several hundred feet from her and stopped about 150 feet from the ground. The UFO made no noise and had a solid row of red and green lights going on and off in sequence along its midsection. It also had five steady bright white lights spaced evenly along the top section. Linda walked closer just before the UFO rose upm to a higher altitude, levelled off, and then moved away into the distance. She saw a tall man in a dark coat and a dark brimmed hat, who had been standing closer to the object. When she called out to him he turned and ran down the darkened street.

Event 30165 (A5012203)

Date: 1/20/1968
Locations: Vermillion, South Dakota; State Highway 50
Description: 11:00 p.m. Robert Ballard and his wife Lynn are visiting his parents near Vermillion, South Dakota. Robert goes outside to warm up his car for the trip home. He sees a large object and calls to his father to come outside. They watch a big ball of red and orange fire to the east. At first they think it is the moon and go inside, but as Robert and Lynn are leaving, the object gives off a flash, and one of the dogs begins barking vigorously. They drive toward the object, which seems to be flickering in a field. It seems to be spinning and is 20 feet above the ground, sometimes less. When Ballard turns onto State Highway 50, the UFO, about 30 feet in diameter, starts following them. He accelerates to 60 mph and the object jumps to just behind their car. At one point it is hovering only 3 feet above an intersection. It keeps following them at telephone height, even though Ballard speeds up to 110 mph. After another car goes by them, the object speeds up and heads straight toward them from behind. Soon it rises and disappears to the east.

Event 30166 (FEF59A86)

Date: 1/21/1968
Locations: Thule Air Base, Greenland; Savannah River plant in South Carolina; Pantex, in Amarillo, Texas; Danish Institute for International Studies
Description: A fire breaks out in the navigator’s compartment of a USAF B-52 near Thule Air Base, Greenland. The bomber crashes 7 miles from the air base, causing the non-nuclear explosives aboard to detonate and rupturing and dispersing its nuclear payload of four hydrogen bombs carried on an ongoing (since 1960) Operation Chrome Dome alert mission to deter a Soviet nuclear first strike. The recovery and decontamination effort is complicated by Greenland’s harsh weather. Contaminated ice and debris are buried at the Savannah River plant in South Carolina. Bomb fragments are recycled by Pantex, in Amarillo, Texas. The incident causes outrage and protests in Denmark. USAF Strategic Air Command Chrome Dome operations are discontinued immediately after the accident, which highlights the safety and political risks of the missions. Safety procedures are reviewed and more stable explosives are developed for use in nuclear weapons. A BBC News report in 2008 seems to confirm through declassified documents and interviews with those involved that one nuclear bomb was lost. However, the Danish Institute for International Studies concludes in August 2009 that there is no missing bomb and that the US underwater operation was a search for the uranium-235 of the fissile core of a secondary, a small object one half meter long. For the first time, the report is able to present an estimate of the amount of plutonium contained in the pits of the primaries.

Event 30180 (27003576)

Date: 1/24/1968
Description: John Everhart was driving home in Indiana, Pennsylvania at 3:30 p.m. when he saw a round, saucer-shaped object with a dull aluminum finish hovering over a pond some 100-200 feet away. Its top section was transparent, and he could see two men, normal in every appearance, wearing light gray coveralls inside. He could also see levers and little lights as might appear on a computer. Under hypnosis he remembered "hearing" them talk, perhaps telepathically. They were engaged in fixing something and hurried when they saw him watching them. In a subsequent hypnotic session he recalled being led into the UFO by a slender man in black. Inside were four seats on pedestals, and the light inside the craft was so bright that it hurt his eyes. He was sent by elevator into the room where the repairs were going on. The men spoke to each other in English. He was instructed to sit in a chair that rendered him immobile. There was a time lapse in his memory of several hours between his leaving work and his returning home. This case is apparently an early abduction report describing apparently normal human-looking abductors. No further hypnotic regression sessions were attempted.

Description: (Translated from French) Axel Aberg was on the beach around 11 pm when he saw, astonished, a luminous craft emerge from the sea in a shower of water. The object approached the beach and stopped about twenty meters away from him. A luminous beam shot out from it and the witness felt as if he was paralyzed. As if in a nightmare, he saw two beings appear standing next to the UFO. Their height exceeded two meters and one was taller than the other. They seemed to be made of crystal, they moved stiffly as if they had no joints or were mummified. (Jean-Marie DOUCHET - Nostra - 20.11.1979) (...) (1968, late January)

Event 30185 (10D5925D)

Date: 1/25/1968
Description: (Translated from French) In the Mediterranean, the French submarine Minerve disappears with 52 men in the vicinity of Toulon. Searches are undertaken, and a metal mass is detected by sonar at a point however very far from the route that the Minerve should have followed. Only a sandy and hilly terrain is found, without any wreckage. A little later, an echo is detected more precisely south of Cape Cépet. It is again a metal mass, located at 134 m deep and measuring about 8 m wide and 60 m long. This could be a submarine. Moreover, the mass was on the route of the Minerve. But, despite the searches undertaken, including with Commander Cousteau's diving saucer, nothing more is found than the carcass of a cargo ship. A little later still, a new echo is received by sonar and located 1.8 km northwest of the first, without anything being discovered. The searches last in all 5 days and occupy half of the total means of the French Navy in the Mediterranean. Rear Admiral Storelli, commander of the submarine forces, confirms that the French Navy has no new element and that it is in absolute ignorance of what could have happened, given the quality of the men, beyond reproach, and of the material. On the other hand, the Minerve had been checked as is done at each change of commander and it was in perfect condition.

Event 30186 (3E880C2D)

Date: 1/25/1968
Description: At eleven o'clock at night, Dr. Axel Aberg Cobo, a Professor of Human Relations and Journalism, was walking along the beach in the town of Torres, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil when a silver colored, luminous object emerged from the ocean only 25 yards away from him. He felt as though he was paralyzed. Shortly, two men over six feet tall, "who looked as though they were made of crystal," walked up to him stiffly, without bending their knees. He felt as if they were communicating with him telepathically. They greeted him by touching shoulders, and one of the beings, which had introduced himself as "Rubinako," said to him, "Krebs, Navis, Karsicujo and Krero." Only partially paralyzed, Cobo noted these words, writing them down with a ballpoint pen on his bare arms. They next told him they would meet him again in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. He had a vague recollection that the craft took off vertically.

On this afternoon two men dressed in neatly pressed, apparently new dark coveralls, and claiming to be from the public water company, visited her. The men acted nervous and seemed surprised that she lived there alone. They finally left disappearing down a nearby footpath.

Event 30199 (B13423CF)

Date: 1/31/1968
Location: ACORES-PORTUGAL, Criaçao do Cabrito, Terceira
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Serafim Sebastiao, married, 36 years old, security guard in a military installation was working that night and noticed that the radio receiver was not functioning properly. He went outside and saw an oval-shaped object, of metallic appearance with, on the upper part, a "glass tower". He first saw two humanoids. He stepped back to get a different view and then saw that there were two more, making a total of four: two inside the craft and two outside. When the witness directed his flashlight towards them, all he saw was that they seemed to be dressed in lead. He heard a sound like that of a bee hive. The object had a diameter of 6 m and a height of 3 m. The witness does not know how the two entities on the ground got into the craft which then took off at a lightning speed, enveloping the witness in an immense light beam, then in "fumigations" or gases which left him unconscious, just at the moment he decided to call for reinforcement by radio. It was there, at 5 o'clock in the morning, that he was found, still unconscious. He had to be hospitalized for 5 days. (1968, night of January 31st to February 1st)

Event 30201 (C1C16DB0)

Date: 1/31/1968
Description: McDonald sends Low a 7-page, single-spaced letter, citing Condon’s negative statements, his preoccupation with crackpot elements, Condon’s failure to conduct any investigations himself, the lack of communication between Low and Condon and the active investigators, and the failure of the project to take seriously any assertions of cover-up. He mentions Low’s memorandum, saying “I am rather puzzled by the viewpoints expressed there.” He concludes: “I am not opposed to negative findings—on UFOs or other scientific questions; what bothers me is that it appears that these negative findings were being adumbrated as early as January 1966, and perhaps even earlier.” He sends a copy to the project’s open files.

Event 30202 (A3C8F3CE)

Date: 1/31/1968
Locations: Lajes Air Base; Terceira; Azores; Portugal
Description: Morning. At Lajes Air Base on Terceira in the Azores, a Portuguese military watchman, Serafim Vieira Sebastião, notices a strange interference on his transistor radio. Looking around, he sees an oval metallic object surmounted by a transparent tower on top of which is a small balustrade on which two beings are leaning. The silhouettes of two more beings are visible in the tower. The object is hovering above a munitions dump. Serafim phones one of the other sentries then shines his flashlight on the machine. As he does so, the men on the tower see him. The object emits a cloud of gaseous dust that overpowers him. When his colleague finds him a few minutes later, the object has vanished.

Locations: Moscow Aviation Institute, Russia; University of Colorado UFO Project; Tunguska event
Description: Felix Ziegel, Soviet cosmologist and assistant professor at the Moscow Aviation Institute, Russia, writes an article on UFOs for Soviet Life with reports supplied by Novosti. He mentions four UFO reports and concludes that they could be extraterrestrial in origin. He thinks the 1908 Tunguska event is a remarkable UFO case and reveals that the USSR established a “UFO Section of the All-Union Cosmonautics Committee” in October 1967. Ziegel soon afterwards receives a letter from Edward Condon, the director of the University of Colorado UFO Project, suggesting that the Soviet and the American groups should cooperate, starting with an information exchange. Ziegel and 12 other members of his group sign a letter requesting the Soviet government to create a state-sponsored organization that would coordinate all the UFO research in the country. Next month he receives an official negative response.

Event 30221 (BF030B93)

Date: 2/4/1968
Locations: Redlands, California; Columbia Street; Colton Avenue; Norton AFB; San Bernardino; March AFB; Riverside County
Description: 7:20 p.m. About 200 residents of Redlands, California, see or hear a huge, low-flying, disc-shaped object as it passes overhead. The UFO is about 50 feet in diameter, with seven lights on its base emitting bright orange flame. Some 8–10 other lights on its rim alternate red and green, giving the impression that the object is rotating. A minister recording his sermon captures a high-pitched, modulated, whining sound from the UFO on tape. The UFO apparently descends just west of Columbia Street and north of Colton Avenue, then proceeds to the northwest for about a mile at an altitude of 300 feet. Coming to a stop, it hovers briefly, jerks forward, hovers again, then shoots straight up in a burst of speed. The object is not detected on radar at Norton AFB [now closed] near San Bernardino or March AFB [now March Air Reserve Base] in Riverside County. An investigation is conducted for APRO by four University of Redlands faculty: Philip Seff (geology), Judson Sanderson (math), Reinhold Krantz (math), and John Brownfield (art). They conclude that the object is not attributable to any known phenomenon or aircraft, but that the recorded sound comes from an emergency vehicle.

Date: 2/7/1968
Location: Condon's office
Description: Low summons Saunders to Condon’s office, asking him if he knew McDonald had a copy of the memo. Saunders said yes, and didn’t think he needed to alert anyone, since McDonald is a friend of the project. Condon says, “For an act like that, you deserve to be ruined professionally!” Saunders avoids admitting he was responsible (indirectly) for McDonald’s having the memo. When Norm Levine arrives, Saunders is ordered to leave. Levine tells him the memo’s release is a group effort. Condon tells Levine not to discuss this meeting or communicate further with McDonald. Levine says he can’t do that, Condon tells him he is no longer useful, and Levine walks out. Condon and Low meet with other staff members the rest of the day.

Event 30229 (D0CE1D72)

Date: 2/9/1968
Location: USA, Groveton, Missouri
Description: (Translated from French) At 3:20 a.m. the farmer heard his cows mooing in the field near the house, as if something was frightening them. He rushed to the window and saw, a hundred meters away in the dark night, a bright light of such luminosity that he could move around inside without turning on the lamp and outside he saw his animals in a semi-circle to the left of the light. It was an enormous circular craft, and the greenish light came from the concave side. Its apparent size was 30 cm, it remained stationary 6 or 7 meters from the ground, in the middle there were 7 openings or portholes which in real dimensions must have been between 60 and 75 cm in diameter. The cows were standing 30 to 60 meters from the craft and some were looking towards the object. And then, suddenly, one of the cows turned around and ran, tail in the air, towards the barn, the others followed. In a few seconds the field was empty. Throughout the time there was a noise (...) like the whistling of a piece of iron spinning, but it was also jerky at the same time. At the moment of departure this noise became louder and the jerks more rapid. It left quickly towards the southwest at an angle of 45° without ever changing its horizontal position.

Description: 12:00 midnight. Teenagers Richard Frombach, Boone Powers, and Chris Beachner are parked next to a pond in a gravel pit near Vashon, Washington, when they notice a glowing oval object resting on a hill to the east. They drive into town to pick up an additional witness, Joseph Frabush, and return to the area, park on the main road, and walk into the pond area. The object has moved to the east. Frabush thinks it is metallic and about 30 feet long. They drive back into town for more witnesses, but when they return the light is gone and the 100-foot pond is completely frozen over. Temperatures in the area have been above freezing for several days. Small puddles and mud patches surrounding the pond are not frozen at all. The pond ice is dry, even though it has been raining all night. Investigators find that the ice is 3 inches thick in some spots, composed of 2–5 layers, and riddled with bubbles filled with air and dirt.

Event 30259 (982FA14F)

Date: 2/19/1968
Location: Bengough, Saskatchewan
Description: 11:55 a.m. Martha Heggs is in her farmhouse kitchen about 10 miles west of Bengough, Saskatchewan. She hears a high-pitched whine that has such a penetrating intensity it is similar to a mild electric shock, causing a tingling sensation throughout her body. Looking out, she sees an object 300 feet away circling around a pole with an electric transformer on it. The object is shaped like two saucers edge-to-edge, surmounted by a dome with 6–7 ports, rounded at the top and extending straight down to the base of the dome. These ports are indented and white in color, resembling frosted glass. The saucers are about 8 feet wide and the dome about 4 feet wide. The body of the object looks like dull aluminum. There is a smaller, vented structure on top of the dome and an antenna on top of that. When the object first appears, a dog is seen cowering and lying in the snow, trying to cover its ears with its paws. Sixteen head of cattle, loose in the farmyard, bolt when the object moves into the area. They enter the cattle sheds and do not emerge until at least 30 minutes after the object disappears. The object moves about the farmyard, sometimes hovering, its altitude ranging from 3 feet to 20 feet. After 20 minutes, still 9–12 feet above the ground, the object leaves the farm through a windbreak and moves north until lost to view.

Event 30266 (16B129D0)

Date: 2/21/1968
Description: At eleven o'clock that night Miss Amato, a 12-year-old girl, heard a "bloop-bloop" noise outside her bedroom window and looked out her window at the abandoned Winsted, Connecticut railroad station behind her family's house. She saw a white egg-shaped UFO, a little larger than a station wagon, hovering close to the ground beside the building and railroad tracks. A short beam of light came out of the craft, pointed downward at an angle like a ramp, and 15-20 little men about three feet tall walked down the light beam in single file and jumped from the end of the beam to the ground. They were dressed in dull silver coveralls and wore fishbowl-type helmets. They proceeded to climb up the side of the station, one after another, with a hand over hand movement as if they were swimming or had suction cups on their hands. When they reached the roof, they spread out in different directions and appeared to be interested in looking down inside the building through a skylight. The girl became frightened at this point and went to bed, covering her head with the bedcovers. The building was being used as a storage site for ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

Description: 6:55 p.m. Truck driver Andrew Perry is driving from Bideford to Cullompton, Devon, England, when he sees a bright light appear at the crest of a hill. As he gets closer, he sees the light is coming from a mushroom- shaped object. As he reaches about 900 feet away from the object, he stops the truck and climbs to the top of the cab to get a better view. He sees about 4–5 figures about 4 feet tall spread out around the object. Suddenly they scramble toward the UFO and disappear inside. The object emits a high-pitched whirring sound that causes his truck to vibrate. Perry gets upset and climbs back into the truck, driving it fast down the road. Meanwhile, the UFO has risen about 200 feet into the air and is passing above his truck, making a noise so loud he can’t hear the engine running. Suddenly the truck engine cuts out. A few seconds later, the noise stops and Perry sees the UFO moving away in the distance. He drives to the nearest police station to report the incident.

Date: 3/1968 (approximate)
Location: BOLIVIA, Otoko (Uyuni)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 6:00 PM, Valentina Flores went out to bring in the flock of sheep and llamas that were grazing a kilometer away. She had just finished locking up the sheep and was returning with the llamas when she noticed that the enclosure she had carefully closed was open and a kind of net was covering it. Inside the enclosure she saw a small man about 1.10 m tall, busy killing her sheep with a large tube with a hook at the end. Thinking it was a sheep thief, she threw stones at him. Then the strange creature headed towards a box resting on four legs, resembling a radio: he turned a wheel on the top of the post and it quickly absorbed all the net stretched over the enclosure. Mrs. Flores armed herself with a stick and approached to punish the thief. But he advanced towards her with the same instrument that had been used to bleed the sheep, throwing it several times against her, inflicting slight cuts on her arms. Each time the instrument returned to his right hand, like a boomerang. Then the humanoid picked up the box that had absorbed the net and a kind of plastic bag containing the viscera of the killed animals. The creature wore a helmet with a visor topped with a rod about 3 cm long, double-curved in the shape of an S. He wore a dark suit, his legs tucked into thick boots that seemed to be lined. On his back he carried a bag with sharp angles held by two wide, thick, light straps crossed over his chest. A rigid rod came out of the bag. Holding the net device in one hand and the viscera bag in the other, two large tubes emerged from under the backpack, on the side, until they touched the ground. Then the little man began to rise into the air and then, accelerating his ascent with an extraordinary whistling noise, he finally disappeared. The alerted police soon arrived: they noted the loss of 34 sheep and on each of the corpses small sections of the digestive tube and organs had been taken. (Henry DURRANT: "First Investigations on ET Humanoids" - Laffont 1977 - p. 98, 99 which dates from March) Mrs. Valentina Flores was busy in the kitchen when she heard her sheep stirring, etc… (1968, March (May 14?))

Event 30295 (5217D878)

Date: 3/1968
Description: Swiss author Erich von Däniken writes Erinnerungen an die Zukunft, translated into English as Chariots of the Gods?, the first of several books setting out the “ancient astronaut” hypothesis in which ancient gods are space visitors, Homo sapiens was created by cross-breeding or genetic engineering, nuclear wars were fought in the ancient world, and monuments were built by levitation.

Event 30296 (1399EC07)

Date: 3/1968
Description: The Defense Intelligence Agency monitors a crashed “circular metal disc” recovered in Nepal. Four months later, a State Dept. cable subject line “Moon Dust” (referring to a covert USAF Project Moon Dust at the time to recover space debris) writes to the DIA, 1127th at Ft. Belvoir, WPAFB, Andrews AFB and MacDill AFB that a diplomatic visit to Kathmandu was a “fishing expedition” for info on “space objects.”

Another cable shows the Royal Nepali Army showed photos of four space objects to U.S. officials, and Nepal’s defense secretary asked the U.S. if it had determined the origin of one object. A possible cover story of a crashed satellite is given, despite NORAD and NASA data showing the Cosmos 208 satellite launched in March 1968 was a success.

Note: The presence of the 1127th on the cable corroborates the USAF document “AFCIN-1E-0 Draft Policy” dated 13 November 1961 that states the 1127th Field Activities Group at Ft. Belvoir had responsibility for recovery of foreign space vehicles under Projects Moon Dust, Blue Bly and UFO. That document distinguishes UAP recovery from crashed Soviet/Bloc vehicles and describes the need for quick reaction teams. The above cable suggests the 1127th monitored and possibly attempted to retrieve the circular metal disc in Nepal.

Note: The presence of MacDill AFB on the cable is potentially significant because the location is linked to rumors of housing four reverse engineered flying disc craft with tail fins witnessed by ret. USAF pilot Warren Botz in 1966 and journalist Jack D. Pickett in 1967. Curiously, 18 years earlier, a NACA (predecessor to NASA) employee saw a disc with tail fin in Oregon cataloged by Project Grudge.

Description: 9:00 p.m. A man is driving his new Triumph Spitfire up a country lane near Glossop, Derbyshire, England, when two golden objects shoot over the top of his car, killing his headlights, radio, and engine. Moments after the objects pass to the north, the headlights come back on, but the radio still fails. He is able to restart his car engine after the lights come on. A BUFORA investigator takes the radio to his workplace at British Aerospace and finds that two key transistors have burned out, seemingly due to a power surge. Once the transistors are replaced, the radio works again.

It landed in an isolated section of Valparaiso, Chile and two crew members emerged. They were dressed in aluminum colored uniforms. Although he could tell they were light-skinned, he could not make out any facial details. Speaking in strange echo-like voices, they asked him about his nearsightedness, promising him that the condition would be cured. "I didn't understand them too good," he said, "but the fact is that I can see real good now, and without glasses." The humanoids promised to return for the witness.

Event 30329 (3F2DD84E)

Date: 3/8/1968
Location: PORTUGAL, Coimbra
Description: (Translated from French) At 04:00, a group of ten students were awoken at the university residence by Mr. A. Branco Rodriguez from the Chemistry department. They observed for five minutes an orange, slow-moving object. It alternated between round, like the sun, and triangular with what seemed to be helicopter blades at the ends. It then took an elongated shape before disappearing towards Figueira da Foz. Photos were taken: on one of the photos the object resembled the cone of the Apollo capsule, and on another a shape like an egg was seen resting on a plate. (1968, 8 March)

Event 30332 (49F9DBC4)

Date: 3/10/1968
Locations: Opoco; Uyuni, Bolivia
Description: 6:00 p.m. Valentina Flores is bringing in her llamas on her farm between Opoco and Uyuni, Bolivia, when she discovers that her sheep pen is covered with a net made of some plastic-like material, and that inside the pen is a helmeted being, 3.5 ft tall, who is engaged in killing her sheep using a tubular instrument with a hook on the end. Flores throws stones at the being, whereupon he walks over to an instrument resembling a radio and, moving a wheel on it, quickly absorbs all the netting. The woman approaches the pen with a cudgel, upon which the being throws its instrument at her several times; it returns to him like a boomerang, after it inflicts superficial cuts on her arms. The entity picks up the machine, which has absorbed the net as well as a bag containing sheep entrails, and puts them into a rucksack on his back. Two legs emerge from the rucksack and extend down to the ground, at which time the entity rises straight up into the air with an extraordinary sound and vanishes. 34 sheep are found dead; from every one, “certain small portions of the digestive organs were missing.”

Location: FRANCE, Malataverne (Montélimar - Drôme)
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Manselon, 37 years old, operating a small quarry, was returning around 7:50 PM from the hut where an employee was stopping the generator. Still lost in his thoughts, the witness walked with his head down. Suddenly a bright light made him look up and immediately he felt immobilized: he tried to back away, in vain, to advance: in vain. To call out: impossible, no sound came out of his mouth. In front of him there was a kind of luminous barrel, 1.50 m from the ground. It was 2 m high and 1.50 m wide. It was a very bright white but not dazzling. Two very bright antennas topped it: the object was 5 or 6 m from the witness. However, the upper edge was indistinct and blurred: the object did not light up around it. He stayed facing this thing for a minute, then it rose slowly vertically. As it rose, the witness was more relaxed. When it reached 8 or 10 m in altitude, the thing tilted and went out. He saw nothing more, heard nothing more, felt nothing more: he was scared and started to tremble. He ran towards the hut but the employee there had not noticed anything

Wells is walking toward the trailer home of his parents in Beallsville, Ohio, when he sees an oval-shaped, bright red object hovering above some nearby trees and illuminating the road. It has a band of dimmer red lights around its midsection. Suddenly a big tube emerges from the object and moves around until it is pointed at him. A light beam shoots out and hits the upper part of his arm, knocking him down. His jacket catches fire and he rolls around, screaming with fright. His mother and grandmother come out to help, and they both see the red UFO, which just fades away after 10 minutes. The boy is taken to a hospital and treated for second-degree burns. His scars are still visible three months later.

Description: At 8:30 p.m. ten-year-old Gregory L. Wells was returning from his grandmother's house to his own home next door, when he saw a red oval-shaped UFO hovering just over some trees. The large red object was so bright that it illuminated the road. It had a band of dimmer red lights flashing around its center. "I stopped," Gregory recalled. "I wanted to run or scream but suddenly a big tube came out of the bottom, which moved from side to side until it came to me, and a beam of light shot out." Gregory turned away as the light beam hit the upper part of his arm, knocking him to the ground. His jacket caught fire and the boy rolled around on the ground screaming with fright. Both his mother and grandmother responded. Mrs. James Wells, the boy's mother, also reported seeing the UFO, which "just faded away." During the sighting a large street light on a nearby pole went out and the dog barked uncontrollably. The burning jacket resulted in second-degree burns that required medical attention.

Description: Two prospectors, Ed Sampson and Bill Johnson, are sleeping in the Anza Borrego Desert, California, when they wake up at the sound of an explosion. The sky above is filled with a fading red light, and they see flashes on the western horizon. The two climb to the crest of a hill and look down. Sampson sees a “red, circular flying saucer” hovering over the valley, while entities with glowing red eyes march in single file close to the ridge of an adjacent canyon. Something like a church bell rings out at intervals, and mechanical clanking is also audible. After noticing two glowing-eyed creatures standing behind them, they take off running.

An opening appeared in the base of the object and a bright white light shone out from it. Then a human-looking entity emerged and descended to the ground on a kind of ramp. He wore something resembling a security guard's uniform with a "rolled collar." The suit was light colored and brilliant, and appeared woven with heavy stitches. The man's hair was in a crew-cut and was very light blond or white in color. The UFOnaut examined the ground around him and then noticed the witness, whom he watched for a moment before re-entering the object. The UFO took off gently with a gust of cool air.

Event 30386 (FCFDC236)

Date: 4/3/1968
Description: (Translated from French) In Cochrane (Wisconsin), 2 witnesses (including an air hostess) observe a UFO for 5 to 10 minutes. Excerpt from the air hostess's account: ...This thing came up from the bottom of the hill, very, very fast, and in a very uniform way, as if it was sliding, but it was lower than an airplane, and it came gliding to stop above this car [a car that had just passed the witness's]. Then its lights went out [those of the other car] and I stopped, thinking there was a young person driving. Since it had turned everything off, I didn't want to hit it. And meanwhile my headlights were dimming a bit, but I didn't pay attention until everything went out in my car: the engine, the headlights and the radio. That happened when it [the UFO] released that car to go back up the road... up above us. It had made a descent from the other car, and it was very low. When I wanted to look at it through the windshield I had to lean on the wheel and turn; I looked up and it was there, above us - and the car was completely stopped. I had opened the window of the door when the lights of the other car went out and it was still open, but I heard absolutely nothing. The object had a triangle shape, like those little triangles of dough that you roll to make croissants. It was orange-red, like the light on a beautiful St. Martin's summer, very colorful... When it was just above us, I tried to restart the car, I tried, I tried, but as long as that thing stayed above us I couldn't make it go, it wouldn't even turn 1/4 of a turn. I turned the key, and it went "ouah" and then nothing at all, it was like the battery was dead... When that thing was there, you heard absolutely nothing, not even the lively noise of nature, it was a strangely worrying calm. And then I remember that I had become light, airy, a bit like in an airplane when it goes down in an air pocket, I felt light as air, without gravity. Then it went down behind us, on my side, and it went to fly over a field near a farm that is there. It moved smoothly, without jerks. Finally, when it released the car, it left with a jolt. I turned the ignition key and the engine started, I was able to start the car, so I kept my foot on the accelerator and I arrived in Cochrane. I saw it passing over the railway and going away slowly. A good while after, my feet were still burning, when I got out of the car, it seemed to me that they were bathing in a source of dry heat. (April 3, 8:10 PM)

Event 30390 (739A3951)

Date: 4/3/1968
Description: On this afternoon at around 1:45 p.m. Mrs. Mabel Walch and her nephew, John were driving toward Newport by the shore of one of the Narrabeen Lakes in New South Wales, Australia. They saw a strange creature standing near the road in shallow water. The being was just over four feet tall and had a tough leathery dark gray skin, like an elephant. Its legs were round and thick. Its arms, or forelegs, were small, and as they watched it ambled out of the water with "a strange shuffling walk, but quite fast." They only saw it briefly before it ran into the scrub. Mrs. Walch said "it's head reminded me of an anteater's trunk." The chin or probiscus was rigid and squared off at the end, and "stuck down and out at an angle." It had no ears nor a tail, but it had small eyes.

Event 30449 (C6EE5786)

Date: Early 5/1968
Locations: Chascomús; Maipú, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mexico City; Argentine embassy in Mexico City
Description: Night. Gerardo Vidal and his wife are driving home from Chascomús to Maipú, Buenos Aires, Argentina. They are just outside Chascomús when their car is enveloped in a thick green fog. The next thing they know they are driving on a road near Mexico City in broad daylight, 4,400 miles to the northwest. Their watches have stopped, and they discover that two days have passed. They visit the Argentine embassy in Mexico City, where Vidal calls a relative in Maipú to report that they are well. However, a June 4, 1968, Reuters dispatch from Mexico City contains a denial of the incident by the Argentine embassy, and subsequent inquiries can find no one in Maipú that could be the Vidals. Finally, in October 1998 Argentine film director Aníbal Uset admits to researcher Roberto E. Banchs that he had invented the Chascomús teleportation as a publicity stunt to spread a fantastic story based on the plot of his upcoming film Ché OVNI. The movie’s poster even shows a UFO carrying off an automobile.

Description: On this morning the witness was out collecting bark for firewood in a spot near her lake on Keats Island, British Columbia when the same two strange men she had met on January 29 approached her. Both wore dark "neat" coveralls, as if they were brand new. One of the men was about 20 years old, and he seemed to hide behind the other man as the witness approached them. The younger man stared intently at the woman during the conversation she had with the older man, and only spoke once. She continued to be mystified about how they were coming and going from her remote island location.

Event 30453 (1715D04D)

Date: 5/3/1968
Description: During the evening hours of the night of May 2nd-3rd Miss Shane Kurz, a 19-year-old woman, had watched a luminous cigar-shaped object in the sky for two hours from her home in Westmoreland, New York. It moved in her direction, stopped, then shot straight upward into the sky, turning red in color as it did so. At four o'clock in the morning her mother came into her room and found her lying on top of her bedsheets with her robe and slippers on; both were covered with dried mud, as were her legs. Earlier in the night her mother had found her missing from her bedroom and the door open.

Ms. Kurz stayed out of school for the next two days because of depression and recurrent nightmares. Her eyes were causing her pain, and two reddish ring-shaped marks appeared on her lower abdomen. Her menstrual cycle stopped after this incident and did not return again for a year. Later under hypnosis she remembered that she went outdoors in response to hearing her name called, and saw a saucer with windows and a revolving rim hovering close to the ground. It approached her and lifted her inside with a beam of light, after which she found herself in a bare white room. A man shorter than her, with no nose, wearing what looked like a dark "motorcycle jacket" and another being, a "doctor" in a long coat, forced her onto an exam table. He inserted a long needle into her navel. A third being, the "leader," next entered the room. The UFOnauts all had very "penetrating" eyes with no pupils. They said to her, "We've watched you. You're the one. We want you as a mate." He also said that they came "from very, very far." The others went out and the leader proceeded to undress her and then rape her. He told her she would not remember. She was floated down to the ground again by a light beam.

Event 30455 (F596C91C)

Date: 5/5/1968
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Vidal regains his senses. It is day and, as he does not know the region, he asks a peasant for the route to Buenos Aires. The peasant, taken aback, gently suggests to him that perhaps he is looking for Mexico? Mr. Vidal must come to terms with the fact that he and his wife are in Mexico, and 48 hours after their disappearance. That is to say, about 7500 km away from the place where their car entered the cloud, their last memory. Mr. Vidal then takes a closer look at the 403: the black paint of the bodywork has disappeared, as if it had been removed with a blowtorch. It must have been subjected to a very high temperature. Mrs. Vidal regains her senses a little later and almost has a nervous breakdown: But, then, what have they done to us during these two days? In whose hands were we? When the couple returns to Argentina, their friends sigh with relief, having thought it was an accident. It is materially impossible for the couple to have made the Buenos Aires-Mexico journey in 48 hours: they would have had to cross all of South America, Central America, on roads, paths and tracks barely paved and, at an average speed of 160 km/h.

Description: Jerome Clark and three other young men had driven to visit a rural site on a highway between Fargo and Kindred, North Dakota where a "ghost light" had been recently reported. They spotted a nocturnal light and had been chasing it, more or less fruitlessly, in their car. When it re-appeared at 1:45 a.m. it loomed up in front of them, and against its reddish orange light they could see the silhouette of a huge figure gliding toward them. They took off in fear in their automobile, but when they looked again from a side road the silhouetted figure was still visible and still moving towards them. This time they drove several miles before stopping.

Event 30467 (A5D8F13F)

Date: 5/10/1968
Location: Galesburg, Illinois
Description: 10:00 p.m. Grant Callison of Galesburg, Illinois, looks out his kitchen window and sees a giant bird illuminated by a streetlight. He and his wife Wilma rush outside for a better look and see three of them flying in a V-formation at an altitude of 500 feet. They look like they have metallic feathers or scales. They are flying with a graceful, fluttering motion. They then see two objects to the south with pulsating red lights moving in the same direction at the same speed (about 25–35 mph). On May 20, around 9:00 p.m., the Callisons have another odd sighting of a single bird-like creature.

Date: 5/13/1968
Description: George H. Estabrooks, a Canadian-American psychologist and former consultant for the FBI and CIA, tells the Providence Evening Bulletin that the key to developing an effective spy or assassin is by creating a multiple personality with the aid of hypnosis, a procedure he describes as “child’s play.” Estabrooks suggests that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby could have been controlled in this manner. “This has and is being done. I have done it. It is child’s play now to develop a multiple personality through hypnotism.”

Date: 5/14/1968
Description: At six o'clock in the evening the witness, Mrs. Valentina Flores, heard noises coming from her sheep pen located between the towns of Uyini and Otoco, Bolivia and went to investigate. She found the sheep pen covered with some form of plastic net, and inside was a short being 3.5 feet tall, who was killing the sheep with a tube with a hook on the end. The witness threw stones at the creature, and she was injured when she was thrown to the ground. The tube like instrument absorbed the net, and the entity rose straight up into the air with a strange noise. Thirty four of the sheep had been killed.

Event 30477 (FA7206B9)

Date: 5/17/1968
Location: BRAZIL, between Florianopolis and Laguna
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:45 PM, in a VW minibus, José Da Silva, the driver, and passengers Manuel Gonzalez, Flavio and Moises were driving with the windows closed because it was raining and the radio was on. Suddenly they saw a bright light and a noise like the sound of an electric drill. At the same time the van was lifted and held in the air (estimated height of 50 cm from the ground) for a moment, after which it fell and was immediately lifted again and placed with less force. After stopping they saw in front of them at 100 m altitude a strange intensely bright craft that suddenly accelerated and stopped at 500m. Frightened, the witnesses did not take their eyes off the thing: it was circular, appearing to be no more than 2 m in diameter, on the lower part several openings like portholes, through which indefinable movements passed. A reddish light seemed to rotate around the upper part. The UFO remained motionless for a few minutes, tilted and flew very quickly towards the sea. A truck driver arrived who had seen it all from a distance. The two vehicles did not leave each other until they reached their destination. Secondary effects: Moises was vomiting, Gonzalez had lost all the hair from his eyebrows and was suffering from itching, Da Silva who had a thick head of hair, became bald in less than a year. On the roof of the minibus a round burn with blisters of broken paint in the center.

Event 30482 (DA77B7EE)

Date: 5/17/1968
Location: Caconde, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 5:00 a.m. Caetano Sergio dos Santos is returning home from his job as a night watchman at Caconde, São Paulo, Brazil. In the courtyard of his house he sees a cylinder-shaped object, about the size of a powdered-milk can, stuck in the ground. At each end are dials, one with a black band, the other with a red one. They are encased under a glass or plastic lens with embossed figures arranged in a semicircle. Above each figure is something like an Arabic numeral. Dos Santos takes the object into the house and studies it for 90 minutes, then puts it on a windowsill in the bathroom before going to bed. He goes back to work, then at about 1:00 a.m., he returns home and notices that the object is lighting up the house, with his wife and son, very agitated, standing outside with neighbors. She tells him that a loud buzzing and intense heat had wakened her, both emanating from the object. Dos Santos goes inside and finds a hole in the roof, tile scattered over the floor, and the object gone.

Event 30483 (EB6CF554)

Date: 5/17/1968
Description: At 8:45 p.m. Jose Da Silva, the driver of a VW minibus, and three passengers were listening to the radio under a light rain while driving between Florianopolis and Lagune, Santa Catalina State, Brazil when they suddenly heard a whirring sound and noticed a diffused light over the road. Suddenly the van rose up in the air about 50 centimeters and stayed there for a moment before coming down and again rising up in the air before it was set down on the road again, this time more slowly. The four men then noticed an intensely luminous circular object hovering overhead at about 100 meters altitude. Frightened, they watched from the van while the UFO hovered above them. They described the object as only about two meters in diameter with several porthole-like windows on its lower part. Through the portholes shadows or sillouhetted figures were visible moving about inside. A reddish light emanated from the top of the object. The UFO remained motionless for a few minutes, and then tilted at an angle and disappeared towards the ocean. After the incident all four men suffered from nausea and vomiting. One of the men also lost all the hair from his eyebrows. Da Silva, who before the incident had had an abundant head of hair, became bald in less than a year. A circular burnt area was found on the roof of the minibus.

The scientific research facility involved with this photographic case has been set up in the high Andes primarily as a Cosmic Ray measuring installation. The operators of the observatory apparently began observing a "series of luminous phenomena" months before. The objects were mobile but also stopped and hovered.

Event 30486 (10AA4F23)

Date: 5/18/1968
Location: BRAZIL, Caconde (Sao Paulo)
Description: (Translated from French) At 5 o'clock in the morning C.S. Dos Santos, a night watchman, returned home after finishing his work. In the courtyard of his house he found a small metal cylinder partially embedded in the ground. It was of a fairly high weight (like a car battery) and at each end it had dials, protected by glass or plastic lenses, resembling manometers, (vog: there is no doubt that 1968 is the year when UFOs lose their sheets and bolts anywhere ...), said Dos Santos. Dos Santos took a snack before going to bed and placed the cylinder on the window sill of the bathroom. That night he went to work as usual and had completely forgotten his find. At 1 o'clock in the morning, he goes home to see if his wife needs anything (she is pregnant) and finds his wife, his son and the neighbors outside, in lively animation. His wife told him that she had been awakened by a buzzing like a large transformer and by an immense, suffocating heat. Fearing a short circuit, she got up to turn off the electricity. At that moment she saw an intense bluish light in the bathroom and the noise that seemed to come from there was indeed the one that had awakened her. Frightened, she went to call the neighbors. As soon as they were in the courtyard, an enormous crash resounded, the moment after the heat and the light had disappeared. In the bathroom there was a hole in the ceiling and debris of tiles everywhere. The object he placed on the window sill had disappeared.

Description: Artist Benjamin Solari Parravicini was walking home after midnight in Buenos Aires province, Argentina when he was confronted by a fair skinned man with eyes "so light in color that he looked as if blind." The man addressed him in an unintelligible guttural language. Looking upward, the witness saw only 50 meters away a hovering aerial craft with no lights. He became dizzy, and when he recovered, he found himself inside the machine, with three other people. One of these, a very handsome man, was questioning Parravicini in an alien language, which he was able to understand telepathically. The being told him that they would take him once around Earth, and he observed Japan, France, and Chile before being returned to the same street corner. Since this experience the alien beings have allegedly contacted Parravicini several times.

Event 30533 (A48FF872)

Date: 6/10/1968
Description: In Los Cigarrales, Argentina Jorge Yaru, a member of the Argentine Navy, was on his way to bed at 3:15 a.m. when he heard a very loud engine noise and stepped out of his home to investigate. He saw nothing and returned inside. He heard the noise again and went back outside. Looking towards a nearby empty field he saw a hovering disc-shaped UFO, with a dome on top and bottom. Around the bottom part of the object were yellow, red, and orange lights. He estimated the craft to be about 1.5 meters in thickness and six meters in diameter, and the craft was rotating in a counter-clockwise direction. He watched the object for 40 minutes while it remained motionless, then the craft shot away at a ninety-degree angle towards some nearby wooded hills. It remained stationary there for 40 minutes and then made an abrupt jump, hovered again, and shot off at a high rate of speed. Sr. Yaru then felt a strange urge to bathe in a nearby brook, which he did despite the very low outdoor temperatures at the time. He felt a strange need to "cleanse" himself. At the same time a neighbor, Adela Garcia, heard the same noise and noticed in the same empty field a strange triangular shaped cloud. A giant man-like figure, over two meters tall, with long blond hair, descended to the ground from the cloud. The strange being, which Garcia likened to Jesus Christ, approached her and she knelt before him. Averting her eyes from the being briefly, she looked up and both the being and the cloud were gone. A large are of scorched grass was found in the field.

Description: (Translated from French) A 19-year-old girl saw a tall, blond humanoid holding a crystal sphere emitting violent flashes in his left hand. (Erich ZURCHER: "Les apparitions d'humanoïdes" - ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 203) At around 0:40, Maria Eliada Pretzel (19 years old) said goodnight to her fiancé and some guests as they left the family motel La Cuesta. Her father had gone out for the evening. She turned off the lights of the motel, then noticed a glow in the hall. That's when she found herself in the presence of a blond man over two meters tall, wearing a tight-fitting suit made of shiny sky blue scales. He held a sphere, also sky blue, in his left hand that kept moving. Smiling continuously, he waved his right hand, adorned with a huge ring in front of her. Light shot out from the tips of his fingers and Maria felt lethargic, while feeling "kindness and goodness" emanating from the creature. At the same time he muttered a language that made her think of "Chinese". (vog: really? It sounded like Chinese, really???) Maria was petrified, but after a few minutes the being slowly headed towards the side door and left. Maria fainted and was discovered around 0:50 by her father.

Description: (Translated from French) Shortly after midnight, the reserve units heard several bursts of machine gun fire in the area where Isidro Puentes was supposed to be, who was on patrol alone. It was only at sunrise that they found him lying on the ground unconscious. He was taken to the hospital in Pinar del Rio while the military intelligence services went to the scene. They found 48 shells from Isidro's machine gun and 14 flattened projectiles, as if they had hit a particularly hard surface. They also found a depression formed of a central hole one meter in diameter surrounded by three smaller marks. The radars had also detected a strange object. Within a radius of 5 meters the ground was charred and covered with gray dust. The Soviet specialists arrived and carried out detailed analyses. Isidro remained in a state of shock for 15 days, unable to express himself. He was taken to the naval hospital in Havana. (...) When Isidro was finally able to speak, he said that shortly before midnight he had seen a whitish blue light filtering through the trees. He approached within 50 meters of the object resting in the middle of a clearing. He thought it was an American helicopter and fired at the craft, which changed color to orange. The last thing he remembered was a loud whistle. (1968, night of June 14th to 15th)

Description: Shortly after 12:00 midnight. Isidro Puentes Ventura is on guard duty in Cabañas, Artemisa, Cuba, when he sees on the ground a brilliant domed UFO with several antennas on top. He approaches to within 165 feet and fires about 40 machine gun rounds into it, convinced it is American. The object turns orange and emits a whistling sound as Puentes loses consciousness. At dawn, an Army patrol finds him still unconscious and takes him to a hospital in Pinar del Rio, where he remains in shock for 6 days, unable to speak. He is then taken to a Naval hospital in Havana, where he remains in shock another week. At the site, Cuban and Soviet intelligence specialists find 48 spent cartridges and 14 bullets flattened by impact with something solid, as well as equally spaced indentations on the ground. Tests reveal that the soil has been exposed to a high temperature.

Removed to the neurological ward at the Naval Hospital in Havana, Puentes was diagnosed to be suffering from emotional trauma, remaining in shock for another week. At the site where Puentes had been posted, Cuban and Soviet intelligence investigators found forty-eight spent cartridges and fourteen bullets apparently flattened by impact, as well as equally spaced indentations in the ground, indicating that a heavy device had landed. At the landing site three indentations were found suggesting tripod landing gear, inscribing a circle about four meters in diameter. Tests revealed that the soil had been exposed to a high degree of heat.

When Puentes recovered consciousness he reported that he had come to within 150 feet of a brilliant disc-shaped object on the ground, with a dome and several antennas on top. Convinced that the device was an American helicopter, Puentes fired at it. The craft turned orange and emitted a loud whistling sound, Puentes last recollection before losing consciousness. Soviet intelligence specialists subjected Puentes to a fifty-hour interrogation after which he was examined by a team of psychiatrists and put through fifteen hypnosis sessions. No contradictions were found in his story.

Event 30554 (82890BAA)

Date: 6/14/1968
Description: At 6 p.m., or about the same time that the widely publicized asteroid "Icarus" passed close to Earth, strange events were reported in the northern Italian province of Abruzzi. A semi-hysterical woman phoned the Celano, Italy police station reporting that three huge, disc-shaped UFOs were hovering outside of town. The objects glowed a pale red. Lt. Germonde took the call. Minutes later other witnesses reported seeing "spinning discs" the size of houses slowly descend to the ground in a wooded area near the town. But soon it got much weirder. Lt. Germonde received a call from a bar-restaurant owner reporting "huge birds with tiny wings and with faces like humans." According to the witness there were four or five huge birds or flying humanoids flying towards Celano. The strange creatures were described as three-feet in height and flying upright, as if they were men being propelled above the ground by some unknown force. No wings were visible, only a blur above their shoulders like the fast-moving wings of a hummingbird. Whatever kept them flying was small and moving very fast. The creatures reportedly flew at a height of only a few feet above the ground. They appeared to have trouble moving in heavily wooded areas. Their faces were reported to have been human like, but contained blank looks.

Date: 6/15/1968

Description: 1:05 a.m. María Elodia Pretzel, daughter of the owner of the Motel La Cuesta on National Highway 20 east of Villa Carlos Paz, Córdoba, Argentina, is locking up for the night when she encounters a strange-looking man in the dining area. He is 6 feet tall and dressed in a blue helmet and a suit that glows with an eerie light and seems made up of scales. In his left hand he is holding a glassy sphere that is radiating a coherent light that lights up the room. She feels somewhat paralyzed and is getting a mental message not to be afraid. The entity raises its other arm, which is emitting beams of light, and she feels helpless, falling backward. The entity walks slowly toward the outside door, putting one foot directly in front of the other, arm extended and holding the now extinguished sphere, and passes outside. Still shaken, María goes to the laundry room and drops on the floor, head and arms on a divan. A few minutes later, her father, Pedro Jacobo Pretzel, arrives and discovers her. Minutes earlier, he had seen two odd, stationary red lights about 5–6 feet from the ground off Highway 20. Maria is conscious but very disturbed, a condition that lasts for several days.

Locations: Demilitarized Zone in Vietnam; Cồn Cỏ (Tiger Island); El Choro, Poopó, Bolivia
Description: Night. Allied forward spotters along the eastern part of the Demilitarized Zone in Vietnam see about 30 strange slow-moving lights. At the time they are interpreted as North Vietnamese Russian-built M-14 Hound helicopters ferrying men and materiel over the border. The lights appear the following evening, and several US 7th Air Force Phantom fighter-bombers soon arrive on the scene and fire on the intruders, supported by anti- aircraft ground fire. During the Allied attack the presumed helicopters move down the east coast and out to sea. The destroyers HMAS Hobart, USS Edson, and USS Theodore E. Chandler are ordered to undertake surveillance missions around Cồn Cỏ (Tiger Island) along the north central coast. Around 3:14 a.m. on June 17, the ships are involved in a friendly fire incident in which the Hobart is hit by 3 missiles from one of the Phantoms, causing major damage and killing two of the crew. (Jon Wyatt, “HMAS Hobart Hit during Vietnam UFO Enciunter?” AUFORN Special Report, no. 34 (April 2003), reprinted in UFO Evidence) June 16 and 19 — Night. Chief of Provincial Police German Rocha and Police Maj. Niceforo Léon observe a round object with a vivid blue light near El Choro, Poopó, Bolivia. It lands, leaves a strange, powerful odor, and burns grass and shrubs.

Neighbors, including police officers, saw the UFO maneuvering for some minutes over Poopo at a low altitude, illuminating the village like daylight. Emitting blue rays, it rose and disappeared. Velazquez was found paralyzed on one side by a stroke, caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. At the landing site there was a wide area of burnt grass.

He was seated at a table around which sat 12 similar giants. They took his arms and he began to "trace signs automatically." He believed that they had "brainwashed" him. He was finally released between the towns of Brinkmann and Cotagaita, in Cordoba province, where the mysterious man in the black car picked him up and drove him to his home.

Shortly after this object disappeared to the right of the fleet. Almost at the same time, all the radars and all the wireless telecommunications installations of the four patrol boats broke down. The ships continued to patrol for half an hour and found that two large warships were rushing towards them. (...) The situation was very tense. At this critical moment, the communication instruments began to function normally again. (...) (1968, Summer)

Date: Summer 1968
Location: USA, Nellis Air Force Base (Nevada)
Description: (Translated from French) A small flying saucer approximately 6 meters in diameter landed on the Nellis Air Force Base. Witnesses had seen it emerge a few minutes earlier from a huge saucer that had been hovering stationary above the base for three days, but at an altitude too high to be seen up close. To greet the visitors, a colonel was sent with an armed patrol in case of incident, but without any aggressive intentions. Then a small humanoid emerged from the craft, perhaps misunderstanding the intentions of the colonel or his men, and directed a blinding light beam at him, paralyzing him in place. Seeing this, the patrol leader ordered his men to shoot, but their automatic weapons jammed immediately and they too felt completely paralyzed by the blinding beam of the humanoid. (vog: we are in full fantasy fiction with this Chatelain...) The humanoid then calmly returned to his craft, closed the door and took off vertically in front of the astonished witnesses, who saw the small saucer join its mother in the sky. (1968, Summer)

Then the two women noticed in the vacant lot two small figures passing in the round disk of the moon, which was at the horizon level at that hour. Two beings, one of which was visibly smaller than the other. The larger one must have been 1.70 m and the other 1.60 m. (vog: not so small, and such precision on their size!) They were all black. They were wearing a garment that seemed to be made of one piece (...) They had a human appearance and a human-looking face. One of the two figures had a kind of pick (fork with two branches) and seemed to be probing the ground or scratching the earth. They were floating instead of walking. (...) (1968, Summer)

They approached the witness who had by now left his vehicle. They expressed curiosity as to his long hair. He explained that he just wanted to wear it that way and was not into drugs or anything. They seemed to appreciate that. They then told him that they came from a world with no cities where its inhabitants were born in the wilderness. They told him that cities were a danger to society. They called themselves "Dodonians." The witness shook hands with the men and they boarded the craft, which quickly left the area.

Date: 6/26/1968
Location: Argentina
Description: An Argentine Trotskyist using the pseudonym J. Posadas, who formed a movement in 1962 based on the inevitability of nuclear war, has proclaimed an interest in UFOs as entities with the ability to master sophisticated technologies that are compatible with socialism. If UFOs exist, they might be helpful in addressing some of the major problems in the earth. In his pamphlet, Les Soucoupes Volantes: Le processus de la matière et de l’energie, la science et le socialisme, Posadas pleads that “We must call upon beings from other planets when they come to intervene, to collaborate with the inhabitants of the Earth to overcome misery. We must launch a call on them to use their resources to help us.”

Description: Three children, Hugo Cesar Messina, Oscar Crespo, and a third boy were bicycling in Cerro de las Rosas, Cordoba, Argentina at 5:30 p.m. when they were surprised by the appearance of a silvery colored object. The UFO had on its lower part a kind of helix, where lights of white and sky-blue were revolving. It hovered about 20 meters up and 50 meters away from the boys. On the upper part of the object appeared a couple, a man and a woman, who floated in the air. They were of enormous stature with long white hair, and they wore luminous close fitting garments. Holding hands, they began to descend slowly, disappearing into the object without any door opening. The luminous helix began to rotate at greater speed, and the UFO went away at great speed.

Event 30621 (5024FF15)

Date: 6/30/1968
Description: At 1:15 a.m. Jose Paulino Nunez, a distillery worker, encountered two people on the beach in Lujan, Mendoza, Argentina that he first mistook to be guards. Their dress and actions were like normal people, but they showed him a spherical device some 30 cm in which he could see images of people walking about. Speaking in a strange, metallic voice, one of them asked him, "Do you know these people? They were like you. Many more will be like them. Many people in the world will see the same thing you have seen. We will talk about this again. If you speak of this, be sure it is with responsible people." At that point the witness experienced a lapse of memory, for the next thing he recalls was being back in the laboratory, where it took him an hour to compose himself. The people he saw in the images were all tall and human like, with pale complexions, and long, light colored hair, who appeared to be walking about in a trance.

This object made a very light whistling sound. On the first pass the object quickly disappeared from their view, but it made a U-turn and returned. Then the object disappeared into the sea and the witnesses heard the "splash". They approached the place but found neither debris nor even bubbles in the water.

Locations: Gardena Pass, South Tyrol, Italy; Rhodes, Greece
Description: 1:00 a.m. Walter Rizzi is taking a nap in his car by the road just south of the Gardena Pass, South Tyrol, Italy, when he wakes to the smell of something burning. He sees a light about 1,600 feet further downhill shining through the mist. The mist parts, and he sees an enormous object that suddenly reminds him of an encounter he had with a strange hermit on the island of Rhodes in Greece when he was in the Italian army in World War II. The hermit had predicted he would someday meet with advanced beings from the cosmos who would provide him with the assurance of life throughout the universe. Rizzi makes his way downhill toward the object, which is silvery, some 260 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, bathed in fleecy white light, and emitting a burning odor. He gets within 10 feet and cannot go further. He sees two beings inside a transparent cupola on the top who are looking down at him. To the right of the object is a robot about 8 feet tall with three legs and four arms. A beam of light comes from the center of the object, and Rizzi sees another being dressed in a tight-fitting suit and glass helmet descending. They communicate telepathically about other planets and the universe. Eventually the entities reenter the object and take off. Rizzi claims there are landing marks, effects on the grass, and his watch starts losing time.

Event 30643 (8C510FD7)

Date: 7/1/1968
Location: UNESP Hospital das Clinicas of the Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 12:30 a.m. Three boys are sitting on the main gate of the UNESP Hospital das Clinicas of the Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil. Suddenly they see a large object “as big as a house” sitting about 1,150 feet to the west of them. It has a large tripod undercarriage and a ladder reaching down to the ground. The boys can hear a weird “tinging sound on a high note.” They start to yell as the UFO retracts its tripod and ladder and rise into the air and speed off to the east, reaching a great altitude. Alerted by their shouts, other witnesses see the object moving away. A student named Antônio Alegre examines the landing site shortly afterward and finds marks forming an isosceles triangle, two sides measuring 20 feet and one side 23 feet.

Event 30644 (B4FD9810)

Date: 7/1/1968
Description: Returning home at four o'clock in the morning after a dance, 17-year-old Raul Salcedo encountered two very tall strange beings in Ricardone, Entre Rios, Argentina. They were nearly 10 feet tall. He "felt himself drawn towards them by the powerful magnetism radiated by them," which temporarily immobilized him, but he was able to break free and fled home in terror. There was simultaneously a spate of UFO sightings locally and in nearby San Lorenzo.

Event 30645 (A780440C)

Date: 7/1/1968
Description: At 12:30 p.m. three boys in Botucatu, Sao Paulo State, Brazil saw a disc-shaped object on the ground about eight meters wide and 350 meters away. It had a large tripod undercarriage and a ladder reaching down to the ground. These landing devices were retracted inside the object, and the object rose a few meters into the air, then flew off at high speed. Physical traces included the ground marks left behind by the tripod landing gear: imprints 7m x 6.8m x 5.45m apart, and marks left by the ladder. There was also a residual "gunpowder" smell, and the boys thought they heard a "tingling" sound during the encounter.

Event 30646 (B2DD81F6)

Date: 7/1/1968
Description: A man, who lived in a third floor apartment along with his wife and young son, was watching television around midnight with his wife. It was a hot and humid summer night in Norwich, Connecticut. Suddenly the TV reception began to snow, and then they heard crying coming from the child's room. The man then caught a glimpse of someone in the room and ran to see who it was. When he got to the bedroom window he saw the figure fly away to a point about 200 feet up and several hundred feet south of the apartment building. It was headed towards a UFO that was ruby red in color. In seconds the figure was like a silver dot that had merged with the object along with 3 or 4 other dots. The object then rose to about 1000 feet and went southwest at high speed. The creature was described as about four-foot tall with large eyes and fang-like teeth. Its arms were disproportionately long, like an ape's arms. It wore a silvery colored suit and its feet did not appear to touch the ground. It seemed to float across the room and went out the open window.

Event 30656 (5D0403EC)

Date: 7/2/1968
Location: Sierra Chica, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Description: 11:25 a.m. Oscar Heriberto Iriart, 15, sees two men of normal height motioning to him at Sierra Chica, Buenos Aires, Argentina. They have short, white hair and red clothes. They also have semi-transparent legs because he can see through them to the grass behind. Near the men is an elliptical, silvery machine, 6.5 feet long, 2 feet high, with three legs 19 inches high. The men give him an envelope they telepathically say contains an important message, telling him to dip it in water before reading, then they fly off. Iriart dips the envelope in a puddle and finds that both the envelope and his hands are dry. The message is written in Spanish in a crude handwriting: “You are going to know the world. F. Saucer.” The witness’s horse and dog are paralyzed for several minutes. The boy arrives home terrified. The family goes to the landing site and finds three holes, each about 5 inches deep and forming an isosceles triangle, the base side measuring 6.5 feet and the other 2 sides 5.2 feet wide. At 11:15 p.m., five skeptical men (including Police Sgt. Raúl Coronel) from the Sierra Chica Social Club visit the landing site and declare the holes to be fake. However, they see a zigzagging light a few feet from the ground and heading their way. They drop to the ground, it passes over them, and then shoots away straight up.

Event 30658 (B24C365F)

Date: 7/2/1968
Description: At 11:25 a.m. 15-year old Oscar Iriart was riding his horse in Sierra Chica, Buenos Aires, Argentina and encountered two strange men who beckoned to him. They were five and a half feet tall, with thin white hair and wore red clothing. The witness noticed that their legs were semi transparent. They told him, in Spanish, "You are going to know the world. We will take you. But not now, as we have a big load." They directed his attention to an elliptical object six feet in diameter, standing on 20" tripod legs in a drainage ditch. Then one of them handed the boy an envelope, telling him to dip it into a nearby puddle. He did so, and found that neither the envelope nor his hand were wetted. In the envelope, written in a crude hand like a small child's, was the message, "You are going to know the world, F. Saucer." The two men then got into their machine through the top, and it took off vertically at great speed. Oscar found both his horse and dog paralyzed, and unable to move for some minutes. At the spot were found 3 holes 5" deep, arranged in an isosceles triangle. 5 local skeptics visited the site at 2315 that night and were amazed to observed a luminous object zigzag above them at low altitude.

Date: 7/8/1968
Description: Sr. Aldo Juan Santiago, with Miss Espinoza and her son and a young friend of the latter, were driving near Canota, Mendoza province, Argentina on a cold, moonlight night at around 3:00 a.m. when they saw a luminous object pass over and land near Villavicencio, about three kilometers away. The object was fluctuating in color between blue-green and yellow. They stopped and had a mid-night cookout, and toward the end of their stopover they witnessed a man approach, walking on the road to Villavicencio. He walked by making "giant strides," and came up and then passed by them without speaking. He was wearing "a sort of one piece Montgomery, fastened at the wrists & ankles." It was blue in color, with a hood over the head, and he seemed to be wearing spectacles. The area was far from any town and they had seen no one else, and no other car, on the road.

In a corner of the room she saw a short humanoid figure wearing a silvery suit. Frightened, she managed to grab hold of her young daughter and ran outside screaming. Several neighbors, among them Rogelio Gianomini, came to her aid and found a strange white substance on the floor and a strong sulphur-like odor in the area. Small footprints were also found. Mrs. Gilabert suffered from nervous shock after the incident.

Event 30710 (C22CAFAA)

Date: 7/17/1968
Location: BRAZIL, Sao Paulo
Description: (Translated from French) Pedro Dema Filho, residing at Conceiçao Street No. 12 in Rio de Janeiro, was at 11 pm on the main road of Sao Paulo near the Dom Bosco seminary when he heard a buzzing sound that grew louder. Suddenly he was blinded by a powerful beam of light and two green lights that appeared near him. When the lights disappeared he saw an object whose horizontal door opened, letting out four entities no more than 50 cm tall. The creatures were greenish and wore something like headphones on their heads. They ran in his direction. He tried to flee but found himself immobilized. He could still see, hear and think, but could no longer move or speak. The little creatures spoke to him in Portuguese, but he thinks it was telepathy because he never saw their lips move. Grabbing him by the arms, they pulled him inside the craft, which looked like a laboratory. He was subjected to a questionnaire and a physical examination. Bringing him outside, the abductors informed him that after their departure everything would be in his mind like a dream. Terrified and confused, he stood at the side of the road and watched the craft take off.

Description: Late evening. A civil servant is allegedly snatched off the São Paulo Highway in Brazil and taken into a UFO by four green entities wearing devices that look like headphones. While he is in a state of paralysis, they question him via telepathy about human customs, physiology, and reproduction. The creatures depart abruptly as if in response to instructions.

Event 30713 (58BADF4D)

Date: 7/17/1968
Description: Near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at around eleven p.m. a civil servant named Pedro Dema Filho heard a loud humming noise and was blinded by a powerful beam of light accompanied by two green lamps. These vanished, and from a door in a UFO emerged four short greenish entities not much over 20 inches tall, wearing something like headphones. They quickly approached and paralyzed him, and he was unable to run away. They next seized him and dragged him into their craft, the interior of which “looked like a laboratory”. There they questioned him, apparently using telepathy, at length about human customs. They didn't seem to have mouths. After that, they undressed him and conducted a detailed physical examination. They put a luminous wire device into his mouth that made his body appear transparent. During this procedure his limbs felt cold, his head felt like it was spinning, and his tongue felt like it had “turned to stone.” They finally released him, and he watched the craft fly off leaving a luminous trail. He felt no subsequent ill effects.

Event 30719 (E75A3426)

Date: 7/20/1968
Location: ESTONIA, Vesti (Otepaa)
Description: (Translated from French) Three 14-year-old girls, at a summer camp near Lake Kaarna, were sitting around a table at the back of the house between midnight and 1:00 a.m. when they suddenly saw a star moving at great speed, joining a cigar-shaped object that had suddenly appeared and entering it. It was quite frightening, but since it was late, they were going to bed. As they were undressing, their room was flooded with light, and the large, shining cigar was then 150 m away. It was like a bus, surrounded by orange and yellow beams of light. The large light disappeared, but there was a luminous mist that shone with a bluish-green color. Around the object there was a belt of the same color. The object seemed to become smaller and finally there was only a disc. The blue light was very frightening to the teenagers. This had been going on for five minutes when they heard a very faint buzzing and the object disappeared, they do not know how. One of the young girls felt the need to go out and see, and at the corner of the house she saw a small human figure, a little woman with a silver ribbon crossing her chest. This good woman simply vanished into the air, and the young girl quickly returned to her room with her friends. They did not sleep all night. The next day, where they had seen the craft, they found an almost circular trace of 2 m in diameter with burned grass, and then another and another: over 180 m there were several of these imprints.

Description: After 12:00 midnight. Three 14-year-old girls at a summer camp at Kaarnajärv, near Otepää, Valga County, Estonia, see a swiftly moving star and a cigar-shaped object in the distance that quickly disappears. Somewhat disturbed, they decide to retire to bed. Through a window they see a bright object about 165 feet away. It is surrounded by reddish-orange and yellow beams of light. Soon it goes out, leaving only a dark greenish nebula with a blue-green ring around it that illuminates the surrounding woods. They watch it for about 5 minutes until it blinks out. One of the girls goes outside and sees a female figure, less than 5 feet tall and wearing a silver ribbon, standing where the object had been. It vanishes. The next morning, they find a circular burnt area about 6 feet in diameter and four wedge-shaped prints in the soil.

The objects soon disappeared. Moments later, after the witnesses had gone inside their cabin, they saw a bright orange bus-shaped object on the ground about 50 meters away. It was surrounded by dazzling beams of orange yellow light, which suddenly dimmed and the object began emitting a green blue light. It had a blue green stripe around it and seemed to shrink in size, and after a few minutes the witnesses heard a buzzing sound and the object disappeared behind some bushes. One of the witnesses ran to where the object had been and saw a small human-like figure that had feminine features; the figure was standing where the object had been, and she seemed to be wearing a shiny silvery ribbon across her chest. The being suddenly rose up into the air and vanished. The next day strange ground markings were found at the site.

Event 30723 (892B0E03)

Date: 7/20/1968
Description: A man on a hiking trip near Cluj-Napoca, Romania was scanning the field with his binoculars at eleven o'clock in the morning when he noticed four bizarre looking humanoids standing on a field. The humanoids were standing around apparently inspecting the area except for one that appeared to be lying prone on the ground. These human like figures appeared to be naked or topless as if sunning themselves in a beach. As he watched, five minutes later a large gray balloon shaped object appeared above some trees. It was flying in a west-east direction and appeared to be about 25 meters in diameter. At one point the object ejected a small sphere that descended in a vertical parabolic trajectory disappearing behind the trees. Soon 4 bell-parachute shaped objects appeared and descend over each of the humanoids covering them completely, each of the humanoids raised their arms as if waiting to be covered by the objects. The parachute like objects then disappeared along with the humanoids. The witness described the humanoids as about 1.40 meters in height, of a robust build with short muscular legs and over-developed calves. Their skin was dark reddish in color and their hair was dark and swarthy. Their heads and faces were peculiar since they had dog or canine-like characteristics.

Event 30731 (293C75D6)

Date: 7/22/1968
Location: Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England
Description: Around 12:00 midnight. Off-duty police constable Martyn Johnson is walking with his girlfriend in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, when they see two lights approaching them from above a nearby park. They are giving off many colored lights. As they hover above a nearby house, the couple’s poodle becomes agitated and runs off. The two lights then become four and arrange themselves in an oblong formation. All at once they vanish at terrific speed, following a railway to the northeast. A few hours later, Johnson is awakened and told to report to police headquarters, where there are two “government men” waiting to quiz him about the sighting. They desperately try to convince him that he has seen an aircraft or helicopter. They tell him he is sworn to secrecy for the next 25 years. When he asks what he has seen, they tell him, “What you have seen is an unidentified flying object or UFO. Some people call them spaceships, and if the people of the world knew how many genuine sightings there were like yours, there would be total panic.”

Event 30732 (64AA9A95)

Date: 7/22/1968
Location: Dr. Carlos Pereyra Neuropsychiatric Hospital at Ituzaingó 2837, Mendoza, Argentina
Description: 1:20 a.m. Adela Casalvieri de Panassiti, 45, night nurse at the Dr. Carlos Pereyra Neuropsychiatric Hospital at Ituzaingó 2837, Mendoza, Argentina, hears a loud, penetrating, humming noise outside in the hospital courtyard. Going out to see what it is, she observes a mushroom-shaped landed object only 65 feet away. It is luminous and sitting in the middle of the courtyard. A bright red beam comes from the object and strikes her, and she finds that her legs are paralyzed. Putting her hands up to her face for protection, she discovers she is completely unable to move. She remains immobilized for a number of minutes until the red beam is extinguished. At this time, the object ascends vertically then flies off rapidly to the south, barely clearing the wall that surrounds the courtyard. Before it disappears, she is able to observe several human-looking figures through square portholes that encircle the craft. These beings move back and forth, passing each other, and are visible from the waist up only. A lead- gray stain, 31 x 12 inches, that smells of sulfur is found at the landing site. It persists for two days. Several small potted trees are burned. Casalvieri de Panassiti has first-degree burns on her face and hands (an allergic reaction?), and parts of her nurse’s cap and clothing are singed. In addition, her watch, which has stopped at 1:30 a.m., is found to be radioactive, as is her ring. The daughters of a garrison commander witness a luminous, egg- shaped object at the same time from the garrison casino.

Date: 7/23/1968
Description: In Bauru, Sao Paulo state, Brazil a night watchman named Oliveira was on duty at the Central Electric Power Station at 1:00 a.m. when he saw a helmeted figure. Suspecting it was a criminal intruder, he tried to strike him with a metal crowbar but the figure dodged the blows and was soon joined by two other accomplices. They quickly overpowered the guard. One of the men, who, unlike the others, was dressed in yellow coveralls, uttered some unintelligible words. The security guard called out for help, at which point the three men boarded a gray colored, unlighted vehicle the size of a Volkswagen station wagon, and flew off into the air. The men were about the same size as the witness, about five foot five inches in height.

Description: (Translated from French) It was in the morning on an airfield. The four military personnel were intrigued by an intense glow on a rescue track. They went to the site in a jeep and saw a round craft, equipped with landing gear and equipped with headlights of different colors that was stationary on the ground. Three beings descended. Their size: 2 m. They had a human appearance but were dressed in phosphorescent uniforms. The frightened military personnel saw that the beings were coming towards them. The brigadier who commanded the group decided to shoot them, but in his nervousness, he fortunately did not hit them. The beings had luminous balls in their hands and these balls shot rays at the soldiers who were paralyzed. Immediately the strange visitors returned to their craft which flew away at full speed. (Jean FERGUSON: "Everything about Flying Saucers", ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1972, p. 201). The corporal ordered the "invaders" to surrender and as they did not obey, he fired a burst of machine gun, which had no effect either on the craft or on the invaders. But at the same time the military personnel were paralyzed, for three minutes, by rays from bright spheres that the beings held in one hand raised above their heads. When the military personnel regained their senses, the UFO had left and was only a small point fading in the sky.

Date: 7/25/1968
Description: At 2:05 a.m. in Olavarria, Buenos Aires, Argentina a corporal and several other soldiers went to a spot where a UFO, emitting multicolored flashes and making a droning sound, appeared about to land. It settled to the ground and three beings more than six feet tall, wearing silvery uniforms, emerged and advanced with slow, unsteady steps toward the soldiers. The corporal fired a burst of submachine gun fire at them, upon which the beings lifted up their hands to show a small luminous ball, whereupon all the witnesses were overcome by a strange lassitude and were incapable of using their guns. Only after the beings re-entered the UFO and it had taken off with a zigzag motion did the soldiers recover their faculties.

He saw two figures, but at that distance he could not make out their characteristics. The UFO rose up and disappeared.

Event 30773 (16F7E66A)

Date: 7/28/1968
Location: Upton, Quebec
Description: 12:00 midnight. A farmer, his wife, and two children near Upton, Quebec, are awakened by the barking of their dog. When he gets up to investigate, he sees a sparkling, rotating “cloud” in the yard. It flies just over him and goes into a nearby field. About 12 feet in diameter, it is dark on the bottom but luminous on top. The cows in the field are being chased by 4 or 5 small entities, perhaps 3 feet tall with heads shaped like bottles. As the UFO flies above them, they disappear. The cattle seem ill for weeks afterwards.

Event 30774 (22AC91B3)

Date: 7/28/1968
Description: At 9:00 p.m. five young people, including Paul Sauve, age 20, and his sisters, Nicole, and Joanne, and Regent Leger and his brother Dennis Leger, saw two circular objects with brilliant red halos over St.-Stanislas-de-Kostka, Quebec, Canada. One of the objects was seen to land about 1,000 feet away. When they went out with a flashlight to investigate they encountered a being about four feet tall, 50 feet away from them, that terrified them so much that they ran back to the house. It had a big head 'imbedded in the shoulders" without a neck, large round eyes, a flat nose, and a dark brown skin that was "wrinkled, scabby, and with bumps." When caught in the flashlight beam, it lifted a hand, which was very large, black, and rough, "like the skin of a toad." It opened and closed its mouth, then it backed off toward the barn. After they were back in the house, it came up to a window and knocked on the pane, making a mooing sound "like a cow." Later they saw the object take off vertically. A 15-foot circle of crushed grain was found at the landing site.

When the object flew over, the humanoids disappeared.

Event 30783 (8F818F6B)

Date: 7/29/1968
Locations: University of Illinois at Chicago; UC-Berkeley; UCLA
Description: The hearings that Rep. J. Edward Roush and NICAP have been calling for are held as a “Symposium on Unidentified Flying Objects” before the House Committee on Science and Astronautics. Rep. George P. Miller (D-Calif.) is chairman of the committee, but Roush directs most of the proceedings. Hynek, McDonald, Sagan, Robert L. Hall (University of Illinois at Chicago), James A. Harder (UC-Berkeley), and Robert M. L. Baker Jr. (UCLA) give testimony. Hynek is introduced by Rep. Donald Rumsfeld (R-Ill.). Menzel, R. Leo Sprinkle, Garry C. Henderson, Stanton T. Friedman, Roger N. Shepard, and Frank B. Salisbury offer prepared papers. NICAP representatives are not permitted to testify. Many witnesses parrot the NORAD party line that its radars only look in certain directions (when indeed it looks for many types of potential attacks in all directions). Harder states: “On the basis of the data and ordinary rules of evidence, as would be applied in civil or criminal courts, the physical reality of UFOs has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.” McDonald makes the biggest impression, presenting 30 pages of UFO reports. He states: “my own present opinion, based on two years of careful study, is that UFOs are probably extraterrestrial devices engaged in something that might very tentatively be termed ‘surveillance.’” Menzel concludes that UFOs merit no more scientific study than “the concept of ghosts, spirits, witches, fairies, elves, hobgoblins, or the devil.” The symposium has no lasting impact, as Congress does nothing about the problem.

Location: Claremont, New Hampshire
Description: 2:00 a.m. A land surveyor and his wife in Claremont, New Hampshire, are preparing to retire when they see a dome-shaped object in a field about 230 feet behind their house. It is about 20 feet wide and moving slowly 10 feet above the ground, creating shadows on the freshly cut hay. The UFO shines a 20-foot wide gray-colored beam of light onto the ground. Their children moan and cry out in while they are sleeping and their dogs are whining loudly. They hear a high-pitched humming sound like a utility pole transformer. A few minutes later the object moves 25 feet to the east, the humming growing louder. At one point, a projection from the object descends to the ground. Around 4:30 a.m., the object goes brighter and slowly moves off toward the west.

Description: (Translated from French) Around 9 o'clock, Luce Fontaine, a farmer (...) was picking grass for his rabbits in the Plaine des Cafres when he saw in a small clearing 20 m away from him, an oval-shaped object, measuring about 5 m in diameter and 2 to 3 m thick, hovering 1 m above the ground. The central part of the craft was transparent and Luce Fontaine could make out two small, wide shapes inside the unknown vehicle, about 1 m tall, resembling Michelin men. One of them spotted the farmer and immediately there was a blinding light that erased the landscape in a fantastic explosion of white light. Luce Fontaine lowered his eyes to protect himself and when he looked again, the object had disappeared. Afraid of being mocked, Luce Fontaine did not immediately inform the authorities.

Event 30801 (66EFE482)

Date: 7/31/1968
Locations: La Plaine des Cafres; Réunion; Indian Ocean; Madagascar; La Soucoupe Volante
Description: 9:00 a.m. Farmer Luce Fontaine is collecting grass for his rabbits at La Plaine des Cafres on the island of Réunion (in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar), when he sees an oval-shaped object about 75 feet away. It is sitting about 15 feet from the ground on a flange of metal; a similar structure protrudes from its top. The cylinder has two blue ends and a transparent center through which he can see two humanoids less than 3 feet tall in metallic helmets and dressed in puffy suits like the Michelin Man (the tire company mascot). Seemingly sensing Fontaine looking at them, they turn their backs and the object disappears in a sudden flash of light and a burst of hot air. The incident is investigated by Capt. Maljean of the local Gendarmerie and Capt. Léopold Legros of the Civil Protection Service, who detect an abnormal amount of radioactivity at the site and on Fontaine’s clothing 10 days afterward, as well as six apparent landing marks in the ground. A country club called “La Soucoupe Volante” (Flying Saucer) is later built on the site.

Event 30802 (BCE439C1)

Date: 7/31/1968
Description: Mr. Luce Fontaine, age 31, a farmer on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, was picking some grass for his rabbits at around 9:00 a.m. when he saw an object 5 meters in diameter like two metallic saucers put face to face, standing on a "glass foot" like a goblet. It was only 25 meters away. On its top it bore another such "foot." It was dark blue but had a large central window, through which could be seen two small individuals, only 3 feet tall, dressed from head to foot in bulky coveralls, something like the Michelin "tire man." Both wore helmets that partially masked their faces. They turned their backs and there was a brilliant flash of light, and a sensation of heat with a blast of wind. A few seconds later nothing was to be seen. There was a local police investigation.

Event 30814 (645C0472)

Date: 8/1968
Locations: Con Thien combat base; Demilitarized Zone, Quang Tri Province, Vietnam
Description: The US Air Force Weapons Laboratory begins to set up a field instrumentation lab at Con Thien combat base near the Demilitarized Zone, Quang Tri Province, Vietnam, specifically for the purpose of investigating and tracking unidentified aircraft. The first project name is HAVE FEAR. At least 500 UFO sensor trackings via radar-visual, laser range-finder, video camera, infrared, nightscope, and telescope are investigated through April 1969. The UFOs, often seen as red lights, usually travel at speeds of 30–80 mph at altitudes of 1,200–1,600 feet. After several days of tracking, the red blinking lights extinguish when under radar surveillance. They are only seen at night and only in certain places. In mid-August, Project LETHAL CHASER is added, using portable manpack radars. The findings involve 99% UFOs and only 1% IFOs, primarily because the system does not include human anecdotal accounts. Pacific Air Forces’ unit history clearly states the investigation is about UFOs, not enemy helicopters.

Event 30828 (626822D6)

Date: 8/4/1968
Description: On this evening in Cordoba, Argentina 11-year-old Graciela Lourdes Gimenez was playing outside her home when she experienced a bizarre event. "I wanted to go back indoors and watch TV," she told reporters from the newspaper Cordoba, "and then just as I was about to turn around...a white cloud, like mist, appeared on the front path. It gradually came towards where I was, and then I could no longer see the other houses, and I couldn't move or call out to Mummy...and after that...I don't know anything more...until I found myself on a square where there were lots of people and lots of little boys..." She knocked at a nearby house, and the residents turned her over to the police. She had somehow traveled from her Cordoba suburb to the Plaza Espana in the heart of the city. After the incident, the child suffered fits of weeping and cold chills.

Event 30838 (32115F64)

Date: 8/7/1968
Locations: Buff Ledge Camp; Lake Champlain; Burlington, Vermont; Adirondack Mountains
Description: 8:10 p.m. As a young man and woman watch from the end of a dock at Buff Ledge Camp [now closed] along the shore of Lake Champlain north of Burlington, Vermont, a bright light appears in the southwest sky and swoops down in a long arc until it stops and assumes a horizontal position. It now resembles a white, glowing, cigar-shaped object, possibly as far away as the Adirondack Mountains more than 10 miles from the witnesses. According to the young man, three tiny white lights emerge one at a time from the right-end bottom of the UFO. As soon as the third is expelled, the object retreats along its original path and vanishes seconds later. The three smaller objects perform a series of spectacular maneuvers, all the while moving closer. After 5 minutes the objects assume a horizontal triangle formation, and two head off in opposite directions, one to the north, the other to the south, making a sound like “thousands of different tuning forks.” The remaining object (40–50 feet across) moves toward the witnesses. It ascends and vanishes in three seconds, only to reappear moments later as it descends along the same trajectory and plunges broadside into the water. A sudden wind blows waves across the heretofore placid surface. Animals up and down the shore howl and shriek. A few minutes later the UFO surfaces and moves toward the witnesses. It stops 60 feet from them, hovering about 15 feet above the water. The young man can see two figures with large heads, oversized oval eyes, and small mouths. Visible to the waist, they are short and clothed in skintight gray or silver uniforms. Thus begins an abduction experience that was only uncovered through separate hypnotic sessions with each of the witnesses by Walter N. Webb years later. Webb’s background checks, buttressed by psychological analyses, convinces him that there is no question of a hoax.

Event 30839 (D5028211)

Date: 8/7/1968
Description: On this date a very important and well investigated abduction case occurred on the shores of Lake Champlain near Milton, Vermont. In the late afternoon at a private camp called Buff Ledge two teenage camp counselors, a man and a woman, had stayed behind from a campwide swimming meet and were relaxing by the dock on their day off. They saw a large, glowing cigar-shaped object swoop low over the lake in the distance. Three small round objects left the large "mothership," which then departed. Two of the small objects also left, but the third, a domed disc-shaped craft, descended close to the witnesses. It had a transparent dome and a revolving rim. The craft approached the dock and hovered very close to the witnesses. Two beings could be seen inside the dome. They had large elongated heads, huge eyes, two nasal openings, and small mouths. The beings apparently communicated telepathically with the witnesses. They had no conscious recollection of what happened next, and the next thing they remembered it is getting dark and they heard the campers returning from their swim meet. They had lost track of at least an hour of time.

They never talked about the incident because the camp ended the next day and they went their separate ways. Years later the man contacted UFO investigator Walter Webb about his missing time experience. He remembered that the girl was planning to attend a college in the southeastern U.S. By knowing the name of the woman's college, Webb was able to track the second witness down by contacting her college's alumni department. He called her and asked her if she would like to come back to New England and talk about the incident. She agreed, and through hypnosis both witnesses independently recalled nearly identical accounts of their abduction experience.

They gave separate but nearly identical accounts of what happened to them. When the UFO moved over the dock they were bathed in light from the object, and both witnesses went into a trance state. They were taken onboard the craft, although they had no recollection of how they had gotten there. They were both given medical examinations on a table. They both gave independent accounts of recalling seeing nearly identical instrument panels and other instruments. There sketches of the aliens and the UFO craft were quite similar. When they awoke on the dock it was evening. An independent witness, a camper who had run down to the lake ahead of all the others, saw the lighted UFO as it departed the scene.

Date: 8/8/1968
Description: At around two a.m. Miguel Bitschko of Canuelas, Argentina was woke up by a bright light coming from outside his home. Going outside he was astonished to see a huge disc-shaped object on the ground in a nearby field. The object had a dome with a revolving red light on top. As he stared at the object in disbelief a door opened on the craft, then a ladder descended to the ground. Soon a very tall man, over two meters tall, emerged from the craft. The figure wore a shiny metallic, tight fitting uniform. At the same time the object was emitting a loud humming sound. The giant started to walk towards the witness, who stood paralyzed with fear. The figure then suddenly stopped, walked back to the object, and got back in. The craft then climbed vertically up into the sky at high speed and disappeared from sight.

Date: 8/12/1968
Description: A woman staying by herself at a house on the outskirts of Mercedes, Argentina heard a buzzing sound and her dogs began barking at eight o'clock in the evening. Looking out she saw a brightly lit object that gave off bright flashes of light, sitting on the ground. Smaller lighted objects emerged from the object and hovered above the treetops. At one point one of the lighted objects silently approached the house. The witness then saw a second object on the ground from which the figure of a man wearing a brilliant silvery outfit was seen to emerge. Suddenly there was a brilliant reddish blue flash and the whole scene disappeared. The next day several ground traces were found in the same area where the objects were seen.

Event 30854 (F5A0E524)

Date: 8/13/1968
Description: (Translated from French) Inacio de Souza and his wife Louisa return to Pilar de Goias (Brazil) to the ranch where Ignacio, a 41 year old illiterate, works as a laborer, 240 km from Brasilia. The place is important enough to have a landing strip, and that is where de Souza sees 3 people --- wearing tight yellow clothes, according to the woman --- apparently playing. The 3 beings notice de Souza at the same time and start to approach. Then he notices a strange device --- like an upside down sink --- on the landing strip. Frightened, he grabs the 44 caliber rifle he is carrying and fires at the closest creature. The reply is a green light beam coming from the machine. It hits de Souza in the head and shoulders. The 3 beings then run to the machine and get inside; it takes off vertically, buzzing. De Souza develops symptoms ranging from nausea to tremors, and is taken to see a doctor in Goiâna, 290 km away. Leukemia is diagnosed and the doctor examining him believes his UFO and extraterrestrial story is a hallucination. De Souza, who had the reputation, before his encounter, of being very robust, will die on October 11th. (August 13th, 4 PM)

Description: 12:00 midnight. Dick Skewes is driving west with his wife Anne and babysitter Gail Yemm about 20 minutes east of Springhill, Nova Scotia, on the Trans-Canada Highway. After driving up a hill, he sees a group of 5–6 lights hovering 50 feet above some trees on his left. Another light is approaching at high speed to join the others. One of the objects breaks away and descends silently over the highway in front of them, its yellow lights flashing brilliantly, on an apparent collision course. When it is 40–50 feet away it veers upward and disappears to the east. Skewes continues down the highway and loses sight of the objects when he rounds a bend.

Event 30894 (B279E10C)

Date: 8/21/1968
Location: FRANCE, Villers en Morvan (Côte d'Or)
Description: (Translated from French) Witnesses Marius Carré and Paul Billard were in a field almost at the top of a hill with a cart pulled by a tractor to collect bundles of rye. It was about 10:30. First Marius Carré noticed to the left of a pine forest, on a small hill 2 km away to the southwest, a very light white spot that had the appearance of a lozenge. He compared it to a picnic blanket spread on the grass. Paul Billard spoke of a mass on the ground the approximate size of a small car. Without thinking further, the two farmers began to load a cart. Half an hour later, the operation finished, they bring the cart back into a path, hitch another empty cart to the tractor and start to load it. They then see, from the point where the "white blanket" was, a kind of luminous extension in the shape of a tube or factory chimney, which lengthens approximately in their direction. In 5 to 10 minutes this luminous tube reaches the record length of 2 km and comes to a sudden stop on a hedge (a bush hedge marking 30 to 40 m from the witnesses, the limit of the field). This luminous tube is extremely bright and almost unbearable to the eye. Paul Billard nevertheless tries to look. This is perhaps why the next day he will have sore eyes and have to wear sunglasses. The two witnesses agree to describe the end of the tube of 1 or 2 m in diameter as a kind of bright, moving spider web, like the luminous points on a lit television screen. This situation lasts about ten minutes. Marius Carré, mainly concerned with bringing in his rye, the work continues undisturbed while the end of this fantastic thing is there, forty meters away, and follows the tractor in its progress. A hundred meters traveled in ten minutes. Then, just as slowly as it had lengthened, the tube begins to contract, disappearing completely after 5 to 10 minutes. The object seen on the ground about three quarters of an hour earlier is still there but Marius Carré now sees it green, like some wrapping paper. Suddenly it disappears. Paul Billard then believes he can see, in the pine woods, like a 2 CV going away.

Description: 6:58 a.m. The Canadian destroyer HMCS Mackenzie is on a mission in the Pacific Ocean about 930 miles off the coast of California. Four of the ship’s crew, including Maj. W. J. Draper, see a group of starlike lights approaching from the northeast, initially only 10° above the horizon. They are flying in a row, and one in the middle of the line seems larger and has a white glow around it. Within 5 minutes, the procession of 20 objects passes nearly overhead, heading west. They maintain a steady course until they are lost to view 13 minutes later.

The formation maintains a constant angle from their own flight path for more than 10 minutes, while they are flying at 224 mph. The large object then opens up its center and the smaller objects fly to and from the larger object. Ground air control reports no known air traffic in the area. At this point the radio fails at all frequencies until the objects fly away.

Event 30912 (0DD776BE)

Date: 8/25/1968
Location: Serafim Ferrreira sanitarium in Lins, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 5:00 a.m. Hospital assistant Maria José Cintra of the Serafim Ferrreira sanitarium in Lins, São Paulo, Brazil, hears a noise like the braking of a car. Cintra readies herself to meet people needing medical assistance. She opens a glass door and asks the visitor if she is a patient. The visitor, just over 6 feet tall, answers in an unknown language. The visitor is wearing a blue satiny cape, matching shoes, and a dress with a high collar and long sleeves. She shows Cintra a vessel with engraved ornaments, and Cintra fills it with water from a fountain and offers her a doughnut. The visitor walks to the door of the sanitorium and through some flowerbeds. At this point Cintra notices a semicircular “pebble-like” light on the ground and a UFO floating 1–2 feet above the grass. She feels the force of an invisible rotating movement and notices that the visitor is no longer there. The UFO rises into the air, making soft sounds like those she heard when the visitor arrived. Later, she and the sanitorium manager and his wife find high-heeled footprints on the freshly waxed floor near the door. On the lawn they discover a spot of scorched grass that persists for 4 months. Subsequent investigation reveals a depression in the ground 5–7 inches deep, apparently made by a vehicle with a diameter of about 6.5 feet. From his bed, another patient has seen the UFO land some 260 feet from the fence of the sanitorium and remain there for 15 minutes.

Event 30913 (F6CFAE76)

Date: 8/25/1968
Description: In Aldaya, Valencia, Spain Juan Gazcon del Toro, age 44, was riding his bicycle home from work at 8:00 p.m., and was crossing a cultivated field when, as he turned a bend, saw a silvery gray object on the ground resting on four legs. Next to the object stood two short beings; the witness bicycled closer to the object, stopped 40 meters away from it, and then looked at it more closely. The craft had a small dome with an antennae on top, and an open door from which a silvery ladder extended to the ground. Both beings wore helmets with visors from which a rubber hose like protrusion was apparently connected to their chest area. They also wore wide belts and small boots, and their outfits were white in color. The beings stood by the object ignoring the witness, so he pedalled his bicycle away from the site and did not watch the object depart.

Event 30915 (D04C0CFE)

Date: 8/26/1968
Locations: Gleeson, Colorado; Brown's Peak
Description: 7:50 p.m. Pearl Christiansen is unchaining the driveway to her ranch near Gleeson, Colorado, when she notices a round, silver disc. She watches it for 5 minutes, then a second object appears, “very shiny and gold.” Both are hovering above 7,200-foot high Brown’s Peak. They remain for several hours, then just after midnight they back away behind the mountain. Mr. and Mrs. Willard Mayfield also see the objects. Daily Citizen reporter Cecil James and photographer Dan Tortorell visit the apparent site and find erratic burned patches of Dasylirion plants (charred at the base but not at the top) and grass. Rocks show evidence of high heat and are still hot to the touch two days later.

Event 30917 (5EB09CC9)

Date: 8/26/1968
Description: Awakened by a flapping noise outside, hospital receptionist Maria Cintra in Lins, Sao Paulo State, Brazil opened the door to find a “foreign looking woman” wearing white light colored, shiny clothes, and a tight fitting hood, and holding an engraved glass bottle and a mug. Mrs. Cintra filled these for her from the drinking fountain. While she did so, the woman placed her hand on the witness shoulder and repeated several times the word “Rempaua.” Then the woman went out and entered a luminous, pear-shaped UFO craft, shaped with a flat bottom that was hovering 3 feet above the hospital’s lawn. Another person also saw the craft. It took off and climbed slowly in a spiral, with a repetition of the flapping sound.

Event 30919 (1BE88BBE)

Date: 8/27/1968
Location: BRAZIL, Lins
Description: (Translated from French) Dona Maria Cintra, a receptionist at the Clemente Ferreiro sanatorium near Lins, early in the morning, heard a loud noise and a prolonged whistle. (...) Then as suddenly as it had begun, the noise stopped. A few minutes later, Dona Maria heard knocking at the door. She went to open it and found herself in front of a tall woman with light eyes (...) her face looked as if it had been powdered with rice powder. She addressed the receptionist in an unknown language with staccato intonations as if she was having difficulty breathing. (...) Dona Maria thought she understood that she wanted water as she was holding a very pretty bottle engraved with incomprehensible motifs. Dona Maria then let her in and filled her bottle with water. She walked with the stranger outside to the car park (...) That's when she saw in front of the stranger, at some distance, a circular, silver vessel that was oscillating slightly above the ground. The visitor got on board. Completely shaken, Dona Maria turned around and ran back inside the sanatorium, where, with other witnesses, she saw the craft rise and disappear 5... (Jean FERGUSON: "Les Humanoïdes..." - éd. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p. 40, 41) Mrs. J.M. Cintra gave water to a humanoid who said several times "Rempaua" or "Abaura" probably to thank her. (Henry DURRANT: "Premières enquêtes sur les Humanoïdes ET" - Laffont 1977 - p. 187) Maria Jose Cintra was woken up by a noise. At the entrance door stood a woman with a strange look. She spoke in an unknown language and handed Maria a cup and a glass bottle covered with beautiful engravings. Maria filled them. The woman said something resembling "Rempaua" and headed towards a shiny object, shaped like a pearl, which flew away with a great noise of wings.

Event 30930 (8046C572)

Date: 8/28/1968
Description: At 7:30 p.m. Pedro Aylagas Galvez saw a lighted object in his field in Ucero, Soria, Spain that descended 500 meters away and emitted a beam of light directed upward. It then made a strange, abrupt maneuver, and then shone its light at him, hitting him in the face and blinding him and also making his hair stand on end. The object descended in a spinning motion, stabilized, and displayed four large windows on top with four smaller ones underneath. As he watched, he saw four “small dark objects” ejected from its central part, which landed on the ground. After about a minute these arose and re-entered the hovering UFO, which then ascended and disappeared in seconds. The entire incident lasted about seven minutes. Others independently reported seeing the object depart.

Event 30939 (13BE921C)

Date: 8/29/1968
Description: Starting on this evening at 6:30 p.m., a group of children in Coleraine, Quebec, Canada on four consecutive evenings saw a strange being hanging onto a boulder overlooking a cemetery. He was a dwarfish humanoid about 4 feet tall, with a shaven or bald head, naked chest, heavy black beard, and with red and bumpy skin, “like that of a lizard.” This being would disappear into thin air unexpectedly. A roaring noise was also heard coming from an excavation at the foot of the boulder, and a kind of “flying saucer” was seen, about 30 feet wide and colored blue, white and red. It left a long trail of smoke, and each time it “looked as if it were trying to land behind the boulder.” The children were Denis Bogus, age 7, who first saw the object; his brothers Michael and Andre, and their uncle, George Bogus; other adults who subsequently observed the phenomena were Normand Daigle and Luc Cadorette.

Event 30940 (D005C9F5)

Date: 8/29/1968
Description: Larry Sorenson was driving from Ely to Delta, Utah on this night when he saw a stationary bright, white light close to the horizon. It turned a red color and became much brighter. Sorenson's truck engine suddenly failed as he continued to drive towards the light. He got out and watched the light travel overhead and disappear behind him. It was changing colors from red to green to white and back to red. After the light was gone, the truck could be restarted. Sorenson noticed another car had also been stopped on the road. When he got home, the trip had taken almost two hours longer to complete than expected, and he had to account for two hours of missing time with a possible UFO abduction experience.

Event 30942 (32219759)

Date: 8/31/1968
Location: ARGENTINA, Mendoza
Description: (Translated from French) Two employees of the Mendoza casino were returning home when their car stopped inexplicably. Immediately they were surrounded by three beings, no more than one meter forty tall, bald and with an abnormally large skull. These creatures were dressed in sky blue jumpsuits and seemed to come from the circular craft that the witnesses saw on the ground. "We have just landed for the third time," the strangers said. "We are studying the customs of your planet. The Sun is good," they added sententiously, "without it we would not exist." Then the three of them had fun engraving characters resembling Chinese writing on the Argentines' vehicle with a tool similar to an electric welder. Then, using a beam of light as a bridge, they got back into their craft, dragging the witnesses with them, offered a short "television" program featuring waterfalls and explosions, and finally took off with a great noise. The witnesses also declared that they had been paralyzed by these beings who pricked their index and middle fingers to take a few drops of blood.

Description: Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina - Mrs. Emilia Larrude de Salazar was alone with her children at home this night when she heard very loud knocking at the front door at around eight p.m. Without opening the door, she pulled back a curtain and saw a very tall man-like figure over two meters (6.6 feet) in height, that appeared to have no hair or ears, and with a large mouth and teeth. The being wore a tight fitting dull black outfit and had very long dangling arms. The being's eyes also shone with a brilliant light. The stunned witness could not move and watched the strange figure move away backwards without taking his gaze off her. Emilia thought she could hear a muffled laugh coming from the figure.

On the Calle Neuquén, their car stops and the lights go out. They find themselves unable to move and several humanoid beings standing near an enormous landed UFO. They receive telepathic messages from the aliens who make marks on the windshield and one side of their car and see a screen full of dystopian images. The beings prick their fingers and take blood samples before gong back to the UFO. However, the two later admit to making up the story.

Event 30961 (C584665D)

Date: 9/1/1968
Description: In Mendoza, Argentina two casino workers, Juan Carlos Peccinetti and Fernando Jose Villegas, were driving home after work at 3:30 a.m. when the engine of their car quit and the lights went out. Peccinetti had just started getting out of the car when both men found themselves paralyzed. They were soon face to face with three strange, five-foot tall beings with unusually large bald heads, wearing coveralls. Behind them was a circular or oval UFO 12 feet across and five feet high that was hovering four feet above the ground and directing a bright beam of light downward. When the entities came closer the witnesses heard a foreign-sounding voice repeat, "Do not fear." Then they were told, "we have just made three journeys around the sun, studying customs and languages of the inhabitants of the system...mathematics is the universal language." Meanwhile, another one of the entities, using a tool that looked like a soldering iron, was making inscriptions on the doors, windshield, and running boards of their car. The witnesses next saw a circular TV-like screen, on which there appeared first a waterfall, then a mushroom cloud, and then the waterfall again, this time with no water. Finally the beings took hold of the witnesses' left hands and pricked their fingers three times, taking blood samples, after which they ascended to their machine along the light beam. There was an "explosive effect" and the object rose and disappeared. The men ran to a nearby military college to report their experience. They later retracted their story, but there are indications that they were coerced into doing so. In fact, authorities in Mendoza quickly made the "spreading of UFO rumors" a criminal offense to discourage widespread rumors on this and other cases that occurred about the same time.

They see a circular object with a red and green light that is only a few feet in diameter and glowing white. Heading toward the source, they watch as the UFO disappears behind a cloud. After crossing a bridge, they see the object again, hovering on the opposite side of the river. The object glows intensely and speeds toward the automobile from the rear. Panicking, they try to jump out of the car, which is traveling at 35 mph, but get tangled up and the car veers out of control. Both of them fall out the left door as the bright UFO hovers 2 feet above the car roof. The car crashes into the store of a fruit dealer on Gloucester Street. A crowd gathers around the two young men, still dazed and shocked. Nearly 24 hours later the witnesses are treated for “bruises and abrasions” at the Napier Hospital outpatient clinic because “their clothes were sticking to them.” Dow is charged with reckless driving, but the circumstances convince the court to drop the charge and the insurance company pays for the damages.

Event 30991 (141024D4)

Date: 9/11/1968
Location: SPAIN, San Marti de Tous (Barcelona)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 11:45 PM the witness, intrigued by a glowing shape at the top of the hill, got out of his car and climbed the hill. He saw four bright shapes with metallic reflections, which he described as "eights" composed of two balls, the lower one bigger than the upper one. The things quickly climbed the hill towards the object, taking a bouncing step (the upper ball stretched and seemed to pull the lower part, producing a faint whistle. The "eight" measuring between 40 and 50 cm long then fell back into its original shape and so on) and disappeared underneath the large orange dome (5 m high). They seemed to ignore the witness's presence. The object immediately flew away at great speed. (September 11, 1968)

Event 31021 (501A9670)

Date: 9/18/1968
Locations: Ste. Anne, Manitoba; University of Manitoba
Description: Farmer Marius Magnan sees three dull metallic, gray, football-shaped UFOs at an altitude of 2,500 feet and 2 miles away at Ste. Anne, Manitoba. They are traveling northwest to southeast in a vertical orientation at tremendous speed. The UFOs are discharging white substance from the upper surface just like popcorn. The white substance streams upward from two of the objects and downward from the third. After they disappear, a white, fibrous substance falls and settles on foliage, buildings, and power lines. The University of Manitoba analyzes a sample and finds it to be “cellulose-like and unstable,” with a uniform fiber diameter of 5 microns, and probably rayon coated with a gummy substance.

Event 31044 (D1E2C783)

Date: 9/23/1968
Location: FRANCE, Roncenay
Description: (Translated from French) Two young witnesses were walking back at 03:00 on a small road, after having abandoned their moped due to lack of fuel. At the turn of the road, hidden by the grove, they saw a round object on the ground, of a luminous orange-red color, resting on metal feet about 1 m from the ground. All around was a luminous halo produced by numerous projectors arranged like portholes. The upper part in the shape of a dome was of a dark color. The length of the craft was 15 to 18m, the height 1.20m. Surprised, they hid in a ditch and observed the object from 150m away, as well as three beings moving with very strong light sources in their left hand. They seemed to be looking for something and ran without touching the ground, above the grass, at about 60 cm. One of the beings approached the witnesses, who fled in terror. They did not see the craft take off. One of the witnesses, Guy Lemarque, reported to the investigators that the three beings sometimes moved by making jumps of 100m, as if they were sliding, so quickly that the movement could not be followed.

Event 31061 (EEB0E48D)

Date: 9/26/1968
End date: 9/27/1968
Locations: Vila Baumer; Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil
Description: 6:00 a.m. Industrial chemist Henrique Schneider Jr. gets up and checks the fire in the kiln next to his house in Vila Baumer in the northern part of Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil. He comes across a strange object in the pottery yard about 16 feet away. It is a cone-shaped device about 13 feet high sitting on a tripod under which a bluish light illuminates the ground, and it has a rectangular opening through which comes a treadmill. On the treadmill are two squared cylinders standing on end, both motionless. Schneider feels paralyzed and begins to converse telepathically with the nearest cylinder, which answers his questions clearly and briefly about where they come from, which is another star system, and they are investigating global warming on earth. Soon the treadmill goes back up into the object, the entrance closes, and it takes off with a hissing sound. The next day, Schneider finds a burned circle of grass just over 2 feet in diameter at the landing site. Inside this is a smaller circle of compressed grass and three holes where the tripod stood.

Event 31062 (40CFD704)

Date: 9/27/1968
Location: BRAZIL, Joinville (Santa Catarina)
Description: (Translated from French) In the night, around 03:00, Henrique Schneider, witness of the landing of a conical craft, was momentarily paralyzed and had the opportunity to converse for 10 minutes by telepathy with... some kind of metal plate that slid out of the craft along an inclined plane. The answers to his questions were brief and stereotyped. In addition to an oil smell that permeated the landing site for a long time, the next day the footprints of the tripod on which the device rested were found. Inside this triangle, a circle of 65 cm in diameter was burned and 3 years later nothing had grown back yet.

Event 31072 (07345954)

Date: 9/30/1968
Locations: Australia; Europe; USSR
Description: Philip J. Klass writes a letter to Robert A. Frosch, wanting to know who has financed James E. McDonald’s visits to Australia to investigate UFOs and who would fund his upcoming trip to Europe and the USSR. In late 1967, McDonald had secured a modest grant from the Office of Naval Research in order to study cloud formations in Australia. While there, McDonald conducts some UFO research on his own time. Klass mounts an extended, concerted campaign against McDonald, arguing that he has squandered government funds. The ONR responds by announcing that they had known of McDonald’s UFO interests and have no objections to his personal hobbies. The University of Arizona comes to McDonald’s defense, announcing that his UFO research was done on his own time, and has no adverse impact on his regular teaching and research duties at the university.

Event 31073 (DB1DF397)

Date: 9/30/1968
Description: At around three a.m. Guy Lemargue, age 16, was walking with a friend on a small country road in Roncenay, Aude, France when they both saw, about 150 yards away, a disc-shaped red-orange luminous UFO, about 50 feet in diameter and feet in height, resting on legs. It had a row of portholes all around the edge. Beside it, several luminous entities of small stature were “maneuvering” with very strong lights sources in their hands, which they shone on the ground. They walked or floated two feet above the ground, and sometimes made sudden gliding leaps of a hundred yards. One creature approached to within 15 feet of the teens, and they reported that they could see that its hands were shaped like pincers or crab-like claws. Realizing that their presence had been detected, the boys ran away.

Event 31075 (91BB0F7D)

Date: 10/1968
Location: BELGIUM, Ghent (East Flanders)
Description: (Translated from French) André Kesteleyn was at 04:00 in the morning at the bus stop of Steenakkerstraat, to go to work. He heard a whistling that was getting louder. He thought it was a fighter plane, but then he saw the UFO. It was a saucer with a dome and round windows that were lit up. The UFO was coming from the city and flew at a very high speed above the roofs of the houses. For a fraction of a second the object stopped in front of the witness. The object was very close, the witness hoped to see the "pilots" through the windows, but he saw no movement. When the bus arrived, he was still shocked by what he had just experienced. For the record: since this observation, André Kesteleyn has never been sick again, not even a cold.

Location: Avenida da Saudade in Lins, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 6:20 a.m. While oiling his tractor’s engine at the end of Avenida da Saudade in Lins, São Paulo, Brazil, Turíbio Pereira sees only a few feet away a golden cigar-shaped object hovering one foot above the ground. It is about 16 feet long and 10 feet wide. There is a platform around it and on the top a transparent dome is open. Inside there are four stools and an instrument panel. Pereira sees four beings around it wearing blue tunics and red skirts. One is on the platform with a weapon in its hand, another is picking up earth samples, the third is looking at his tractor’s engine, and the fourth is inside the object at the instrument panel. The being with the weapon fires it and a luminous ball hits Pereira in the stomach, paralyzing him. The entities go inside, and a transparent dome encloses them. The object ascends and shoots off at high speed. With difficulty, Pereira climbs off the tractor and stumbles to the road where a friend takes him home. Later he is given a medical examination by Antônio Geris and summoned to a Brazilian Air Force facility where he is questioned and held for three days.

Event 31086 (FC070C21)

Date: 10/2/1968
Description: In Lins, Sao Paolo State, Brazil at 6:20 a.m., while oiling his bulldozer’s engine, Sr. Doribio Pereira saw a golden colored cigar-shaped craft hovering a foot or so above the ground, only a few feet away, Next he saw a man standing on a platform that extended from the base of the object, who drew a weapon resembling an electric drill from his sleeve. The being pointed it at the witness, and when it emitted a bright flash Pereira found himself paralyzed. He could see that inside the cigar, which had a “glass roof,” there was a man using some sort of keyboard with both hands, and outside the craft on an extended platform stood three more men. One of them was taking soil samples with a “conch shaped object.” Then the craft flashed a very vivid light three times, the platform retracted, and underneath the craft appeared “something like an electric polisher, rotating at high speed.” After that it took off with a slight sound. The men were described as thin, about 5’5” tall, and dressed in blue knee-length robes, hoods, and brown sandals with cross garters to the knees. Pereira, in a state of near shock, was given a lift to his home, and from there he reported to the Town Council. Because of his nervous state he was sent for a medical examination, during which Dr. Antonio Geris found him entirely normal. Officials of the Brazilian Air Force later subjected him to an intense interrogation.

Description: 7:52 p.m. John D. Hickey and his family are driving near West Morehead Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. While stopped at a traffic light, he sees a black object like a short cigar moving on his left, but it stops and hovers above a low building about 500 feet away. Suddenly three large gray-white lights shaped like television picture tubes turn on, each about 22 inches in diameter. A small black arm-like device moves slowly out of one end, extends a few feet, then stops. A blue light is at one end. The three large lights begin to blink slowly, then rapidly for 25 seconds. The blue light goes out, the arm retracts, the large lights blink more slowly until they stop. The lights go out and the object moves to the east.

Event 31111 (D45DF1E4)

Date: 10/14/1968
Location: ARGENTINA, Correa (Rosario)
Description: (Translated from French) A farmer found a dead cow near 7 circular traces of burned grass. A few days later, mushrooms the size of basketballs grew on these traces. Around the date of the discovery of the dead animal, the neighbors had noticed unusual lights in the sky. (Janet and Colin BORD: "Modern Mysteries of the World" - Guild Publishing London 1989, p. 307) A civilian pilot had noticed a strange drawing on the ground and went there with the military. As they headed towards the place where a saucer had previously landed, they discovered a circle of 6 feet in diameter where the earth was scorched. In the circle, eight giant white mushrooms had grown. One of the mushrooms measured 3 feet in diameter. - In the province of Santa Fé, other extraordinary mushrooms were discovered under the same circumstances.

Event 31114 (4C6F3E8D)

Date: 10/15/1968
Description: Driving across the desert near Kingman, Arizona with a hitchhiker at around 3:00 a.m., Michael Watts saw a "falling star" that stopped in midair, and then shot back up into the sky. The two men then stopped the car and got out to investigate a distant light source on the ground. When they walked up to it the light on the ground proved to be four lights, one of which took off into the air. Nearby they could dimly see two four-foot-tall beings with large heads and abnormally long arms, and heard a sound like digging. The hitchhiker then suggested they go back to the car for a gun, and the figures vanished. Other maneuvering lights were then observed. Then something sounding like a train passed by at a distance: it had a string of lighted windows in which silhouettes of passengers sitting up inside were visible. After this, a dark lens-shaped object having a flat dome on top and a row of pulsating multi-colored lights around the edge approached them quite closely. As the dawn approached and it became possible to see better, the remaining lights on the ground could be seen to be connected to a palely lit cigar-shaped object. Watts believes he may have experienced a memory lapse at this point. Cloven footprints were found at the site where the beings had been seen. The hitchhiker could not be identified and was therefore unavailable for an interview by the investigators.

Event 31123 (93DA12A8)

Date: 10/18/1968
Locations: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Mostar
Description: 5:00 p.m. Hundreds of witnesses view a conical object that appears above Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, traveling from northwest to southeast. The UFO at first appears bright blue then changes first to a whitish-blue then to red. When it reaches a point just south of Sarajevo and northeast of the city of Mostar, the object turns to the east. It remains in view from 90 minutes to two hours. Members of the Akademski Astronomsko-Astronautiki Klub take photos of the object and, six months later, issue a report on their investigation of the incident. It estimates that the UFO was flying at an altitude of 16 miles and a speed of 20 mph, probably guided by air currents and not self-propelled, and most likely was a military reconnaissance balloon.

Event 31124 (65364EED)

Date: 10/19/1968
Location: USSR, Tyuratam
Description: (Translated from French) A few days after the Americans had put their first occupied Apollo cabin into orbit, the Soviet Union had already launched a space vessel "Zond 5" towards the Moon, which was nothing more than a Soviet Soyouz without an orbital compartment. On October 19th, Cosmos 248 was propelled to 520 km in altitude by a Scarp rocket and began to orbit the Earth at an inclination of 62°. The following day, an identical rocket, launched from the same place, reached an orbit of the same inclination, but much higher; it evolved between 840 and 3380 km. After several trajectory corrections, Cosmos 249 passed in a flash above Cosmos 248 and exploded. At the moment, the NORAD specialists who recorded the explosion did not understand well. The radars recorded 81 different fragments in place of Cosmos 249, while they did not yet know that it was a decided explosion. (1968, October 19th and 20th)

Event 31141 (69FE7F8B)

Date: 10/24/1968
Locations: Minot AFB, North Dakota; Bowbells, North Dakota; Launch Facility Oscar-7
Description: 2:15–5:18 a.m. Sixteen military personnel stationed throughout the Minuteman ICBM missile complex at Minot AFB, North Dakota, report a very large, brightly illuminated aerial object, alternating colors from brilliant white to orange-red and green, with the ability to hover, accelerate rapidly, and abruptly change direction. Ground radar tracks an unidentified target correlated with a visual orange glow and radios it (saying, “Someone is seeing flying saucers again”) to the attention of the USAF crew of a B-52H Stratofortress bomber at 2,000 feet as a UFO target 24 miles to the northwest. It shifts to 15 miles at 3:35 a.m. RAPCON alerts the pilots (instructor pilot Maj. Bradford Runyon and copilot Maj. James Partin) to the location of the UFO near Bowbells, North Dakota, which the B-52 navigator Capt. Patrick D. McCaslin observes on the radarscope maintaining a three-mile distance throughout a standard 180° turnaround. Radar navigator Maj. Charles Richey captures the tracking on film. As the B-52 starts its descent back to Minot AFB, the UFO appears to close distance to one mile at a high rate of speed, pacing the aircraft for nearly 20 miles before disappearing off the radarscope. Both B-52 UHF radios cannot transmit during the close radar encounter with the UFO and when the radarscope film is recorded. Shortly afterwards, RAPCON provides vectors for the B-52 to overfly a stationary UFO on or near the ground. After turning onto the downwind leg of the traffic pattern, the pilots observe a large, illuminated UFO ahead of the aircraft for several minutes, before turning onto the base leg over the UFO while observing it at close range. After the B-52 lands, both outer and inner-zone intrusion alarms are activated at the remote missile Launch Facility Oscar-7. The duration of the reported observations is over three hours. Other witnesses include Capt. Thomas Goduto, S/Sgt James F. Bond, S/Sgt William E. Smith, A1C Robert O’Connor, A1C Joseph P. Jablonski, and A1C Gregory Adams. The chief of the 862nd Combat Support Group, Lt. Col. Arthur J. Werlich, is designated as Blue Book liaison and he calls the report in at 4:30 p.m. after SAC investigations, an analysis of the radarscope film, and the B-52 crew debriefing. Werlich provides Blue Book with selected data through October 31. On November 13, Blue Book chief Lt. Col. Hector Quintanilla completes his evaluation and forwards the final report to SAC headquarters. It is a single-page letter providing several possible explanations for the various reports, along with 11 pages of attachments cobbled together in support. He attributes the B-52 radar contact and loss of UHF transmission to “a plasma similar to ball lightning.”

Event 31164 (9A1949C3)

Date: 10/31/1968
Locations: Colorado; Great Falls; McMinnville
Description: The Colorado project delivers its report, Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, to the Air Force. The first two sections, conclusions and recommendations, are written by Condon himself. He concludes that “further extensive study of UFOs probably cannot be justified in the expectation that science will be advanced thereby.” It is a clear signal to shut down Project Blue Book. Yet 30% of its cases are unexplained. Condon says a UFO cover-up is unthinkable because no one could keep such a secret for so long. He refutes the claim that the CIA has installed an agent within the project. He disapproves of UFO “amateurists,” especially NICAP. The project ignored old cases because they only offered witness testimony, are probably misidentifications, and it makes little sense to reinterview witnesses. But this means ignoring the most compelling cases of the past 20+ years. Condon rejects the ETH because it is so unlikely that aliens can get here from there. This attitude suggests that Condon’s approach is fundamentally antiempirical. The report also includes summaries of field studies, photographic evidence, direct and indirect physical evidence, optical and radar cases, and astronaut sightings. In the field studies section, Roy Craig concedes that some of the older cases suggest something extraordinary (Great Falls, RB-47). William K. Hartmann divides photo cases into fabrications, misidentifications, poor image quality, and clear images that lack sufficient data. Great Falls and McMinnville are the only two that he considers unusual. Gordon Thayer discusses the predominance of anomalous propagation in radar cases. In finding natural explanations, Thayer often disregards witness testimony. The rest of the report is mostly padding.

Event 31170 (7D4B97B5)

Date: 11/1/1968
Location: FRANCE (unspecified - south of France)
Description: (Translated from French) Famous case of "Doctor X", born in 1930, biologist and musician. The doctor was awoken shortly before 04:00 in the morning by the crying of his 14-month-old baby. He found the child very excited, making gestures towards the window. Through the shutters the doctor saw flashes of light but didn't really pay attention and gave the baby a bottle of water. It was raining very hard. There were more flashes coming from the south, but no thunder. When he opened a window onto the terrace he saw two disk-shaped objects, horizontal, silver-white on top, bright red underneath. On top there were several vertical and one horizontal antenna and a white beam illuminating the fog beneath the disks, which were approaching each other until they made contact, the beams overlapping, the flashes ceasing while the two objects merged. After a while the disk turned vertical, swept the house with a beam of light, there was a kind of explosion and the disk left behind a whitish glow slowly dissipated by the wind. In the following days the doctor noticed that not only had the bruise he had sustained disappeared, but also the after-effects of a wound he had received during the Algerian War. However, he had lost weight, felt very disoriented and after a day of cramps and abdominal pain, he developed a triangular pigmentation around his navel. Now, in the night of November 13-14 the same triangle appeared on the baby's belly. This pigmentation remained visible for 2 or 3 days before disappearing. But its appearance was recurrent each year, as it was filmed again in 1985. (Michel Aimé 1969; Lob/Gigi 1975; Jacques VALLEE: "Autres dimensions" - trad. Robert Laffont 1989 - p. 198 to 200) etc..

Description: At 4:00 a.m. a Filipino farmer north of Baras in Rizal province, the Philippines saw a red light come down and land 100 yards away from him, making a hissing sound like an arc welder. He approached with a flashlight and encountered a white object, the size of a VW Beetle, on small wheels. It had six big exhaust tubes in the rear and a transparent canopy. There were two "ordinary Caucasian" looking pilots in the craft wearing white coveralls or flightsuits, with earphones on their heads.. The craft took off vertically without making as much noise.

Event 31176 (394553B1)

Date: 11/1/1968
Description: A third close encounter of the third kind in the Philippines was made that same day by another farmer, bicycling near the site of the first reported incident at 11:00 a.m. He saw the same "strange car" downhill from his location. As he coasted down toward the object on his bicycle he saw two men; one was outside the object "looking around" and was "very tall" and looked to be a normal Caucasian, the other man was inside the object. Both wore white coveralls and what appeared to be earphones. He stopped 20 yards past the object, looked back, and saw that the man outside the object was watching him. He couldn't decide whether he should go back to speak to him, but while he was thinking this the man got into his vehicle. With a roar, the craft moved up the hill and then ascended silently into the sky.

Event 31178 (684520A9)

Date: 11/1/1968
Description: In the early morning, pre-dawn hours a French physician living in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department of southern France, "Doctor X", was awakened by the sound of his 14-month-old son crying. His son was standing in his crib pointing at the window. Behind the shutter a very bright light could be seen moving. After the child had gone back to sleep, the doctor went out onto the balcony of his house, located on a hillside, and he saw two glowing discs in the sky, silvery white on top and bright red underneath. Each had a tall antenna on top and one on either side, and they were directing a narrow beam of white light towards the ground below.

The two objects slowly drew closer and merged into a single object, about 200 feet in diameter and 50 feet thick. The single object then approached the doctor, and tilted 90 degrees so that the beam of light struck him. He then heard a loud bang, and the object evaporated into a whitish cloud that dissipated with the wind. A thin thread of light rose high into the sky before vanishing as a white dot, and exploding like a firework.

A few days earlier the doctor had accidentally cut a vein in his leg while chopping wood, and a decade earlier he had stepped on a landmine in Algeria, leaving his right side partially paralyzed. After this close encounter incident he found that the swelling and pain from his leg injury had vanished, and the chronic after effects of the injuries he had sustained in the Algerian war improved dramatically in the days that followed.

Also a few days after the encounter, the doctor and his son each developed a strange, reddish, triangular mark on the abdomen, and this mark recurred in successive years. Strange paranormal phenomena began to take place around the doctor and his family, including poltergeist activity and unexplained disturbances in electrical circuits. The doctor began to have mysterious meetings with a strange, nameless man he called "Mr. Bied." He would hear a whistling noise inside his head and would feel guided to walk or drive to a certain location where he would meet the man, who would discuss his UFO experience and paranormal matters. Mr. Bied caused him to experience apparent teleportation and time travel, including a distressing episode with alternative landscapes on a road that he knows does not exist. The stranger also once visited the doctor at his home accompanied by a three foot tall humanoid with mummified skin, which remained motionless while its eyes darted quickly around the room. The doctor experienced uncontrolled levitation on at least one occasion.

Event 31185 (93BFB2A4)

Date: 11/2/1968
Locations: Algeria; south of France
Description: 3:55 a.m. A partially paralyzed Algerian veteran, Dr. X, has suffered an injury to his leg while chopping at a stump on his property in a village in the south of France on October 29. He is lying in bed when he is awakened by his crying 14-month-old son. He sees two luminous objects outside his house. They are coming close together and merging about 590 feet away. A vertical beam of light is aimed at him for a second as the object tilts, and then the display vanishes with a sort of explosion, leaving behind a slowly dissolving cloud. Shortly afterwards, the man’s leg heals and his war wound is better. He also experiences nightmares, stomach pains, and a red pigmentation appears around his navel, forming a triangle. He goes to a dermatologist but does not mention the UFO; the doctor is stumped. The man’s son also develops a red triangle. In November 1984, a French radio reporter records the gradual reappearance of the triangle on X’s abdomen.

Event 31208 (CEC4D9E2)

Date: 11/9/1968
Description: A couple in Lorain, Ohio was awakened at 5:45 a.m. by a loud thump on the roof of their trailer. The bump was followed by the sound of something moving near their bedroom window. When they looked out the window, they saw a huge face staring down at them. The creature’s two front paws or hands were resting on the windowsill. The husband lept out of bed and frantically searched for his gun, but by the time he located it the creature was gone from the window. Running on two legs, it dashed around the east side of the house, weaving from side to side, and crossed two streets before disappearing into the woods. The creature stood about six-feet tall. Its front side was grayish brown, and the rest of the body was a darker shade of the same color. According to the couple, it resembled “a large bipedal lion of around 600 pounds.”

Event 31209 (329E58DC)

Date: 11/9/1968
Description: At 11:30 p.m. in El Salto, Santiago, Chile two young sisters, Afrodit and Eugenia Lovazzano El-Far, 12 and 9 years of age respectively, were playing on a Sunday night in front of their home when they saw a large ball of fire approaching from the nearby mountains. It came suddenly to a stop in front of the girls. Afrodit saw it first as she was on her bicycle, and noticed the red light suddenly appear from behind the mountain, resembling a brilliant star. The red light seemed “gelatinous” in nature and soon changed to a sphere with a greenish tint. Both girls could now clearly see what appeared to be a small “woman” inside the luminous sphere. The strange entity had a large mouth, which seemed to be moving constantly, apparently calling the girls; it also had a pair of large pointed ears. Moments later, the small woman exited the sphere and approached Afrodit, who tried to run but was unable to move due to a strong “pulling” force. It pulled her by her blouse and suspended her in midair. When Eugenia reached the kitchen door the force seemed to release Afrodit, who suffered from earaches, hoarseness, and what appeared to have been scratches on her waist area. It was later determined that a third girl, 12-year-old Monica Patricia Lagos also saw the bizarre incident, which she described as a ball of fire that floated around over the ground and then disappeared in a flash.

Event 31232 (C1ACEEB3)

Date: 11/20/1968
Location: Hanbury, Staffordshire, England
Description: 5:45 p.m. Milan and Doris Milakovic and their son are driving southwest out of Hanbury, Staffordshire, England, when several rabbits run across the road from their left. Suddenly they see a brilliant object. They stop the car and watch as it rises from a field on their left, silently pass over the car, and move toward a solitary house about 300 feet away on the right where it stops and hovers, “quivering like jelly.” The air temperature seems to drop. For approximately 5 minutes, they see what appear to be several humanoid figures walking across the bright top of the UFO, which is as wide as the house. Intermittently, some of the figures bend down as though looking at something in the part of the object below the rim. Then the UFO begins moving up in a pulsating or jerky movement. The intensity of its light increases and Milakovic feels like his eyes are burning. Thoroughly frightened, Milakovic pushes his wife and son back into the car and speeds away from the scene.

Date: 11/20/1968
Description: The Milakovic family was driving down their farm road in Hanbury, England at 5:30 p.m. when they noticed rabbits fleeing. They then noticed a landed domed disc with white, amber, and green lights and a transparent dome in a field to the left. The brilliant object rose from the field and hovered above a house. It appeared to "quiver like a jelly." Several human-looking figures were seen walking around on the deck of the craft, bent down. The UFO left with jerky movements, and the bright lights from the craft hurt their eyes.

Event 31236 (F6248AB2)

Date: 11/21/1968
Description: A woman was on a bus that stopped for a while in Macedo, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. At 9:30 p.m. she saw at the bus station there, about 40 yards away, a domed metallic UFO the size of a small car, which was hovering only a few feet above the ground. Around the rim of the craft were a row of changing lights that gave the impression of it rotating, and beneath it a patch of violet light was cast onto the ground. A door in the object was open, with three steps below it, and standing in front of the UFO were three six-foot tall figures of human appearance, wearing skin-tight, shiny black coveralls and shiny black boots. The suits were one-piece, with hoods covering the heads, so that only the face was left exposed. One of the men was carrying a cylinder 2 feet long and 3 inches thick, with a thinner tube of aluminum like material coiled around it in a spiral. Facing the beings was a crowd of about 20 people, including three police officers, who had their guns drawn, and two police cars were parked nearby. After a short while a beam of silver light shot forth from the cylinder and the people closest to the beings were paralyzed, while the others felt dazed as if in a faint. The UFOnauts calmly walked back to their craft, which they then boarded, and the craft took off and rapidly climbed out of sight. The duration of the entire incident was about 15 minutes.

When he rounds a bend he sees a brilliant yellowish-white light about 200 feet ahead of him and 50–75 feet above the road. As he approaches, the car radio fades into static. Then the object emits a beam of well-defined light about 5–6 feet across that illuminates the trees and causes his engine and radio to cut out as it passes over his car. The object changes color to orange-red and ascends at a high rate of speed, disappearing in less than 15 seconds. The car engine starts spontaneously afterward.

Description: 6:00 p.m. Elaine Pelchy is driving with her 2-year-old son and dog on Highway 174 south of Marcellus, New York, when they see an object with five red, blinking lights about 100 feet in front of her car and heading southeast. The radio gets a lot of static and the English setter begins to get nervous, clawing at the window and putting its head over its eyes and ears. The boy starts crying, then the car engine begins to sputter. The object executes a U-turn and moves to the northwest as the lights change to blinking blue and white. Suddenly, the UFO stops and changes to a white, dome-shaped object with a “fluorescent star” next to it. The larger object merges into the star and disappears. Pelchy drops her son off at her mother-in-law’s, then returns on the same route. The dog starts to whine again as a light the size of a basketball fluctuates in intensity and zigzags across the sky. She goes home but returns to the scene with a neighbor and the light is still visible and maneuvering.

Event 31266 (5D4E6BAF)

Date: 11/25/1968
Description: On this date in 1968, at just after 6 p.m. on Highway 174 outside of the town of Marcellus in upstate New York, a mother and her small son saw a domed-disc UFO with a red blinking light on top. As it approached to within 100 feet of their car the engine lost power and the radio filled with static. Their dog cried, clawed to get under the seat, and covered its eyes and ears with its paws. The UFO moved away then, but continued to pace them down the road. Once more it made a pass at the car, and again the engine lost power and the radio wouldn't work.

Event 31300 (BC6089FE)

Date: 12/1968
Location: USA, Point Isabel
Description: (Translated from French) Around 10 pm there had been a noise near the house, "like something hitting metal". Larry, his father and a relative, Arnold Hubbard, went out to see what it was. Then from the other side of the house, they heard rustling in the grass. "We went to get a flashlight," said Larry, "and then we saw... The monster emerged from the bush about 15 meters away. It was walking towards us and seemed to be more than three meters tall, with shoulders about a meter and a half wide, and arms as long as a monkey's." In the light of the flashlight the body seemed hairy and rather brown, the eyes shone above a nose that Larry said he couldn't describe. The teeth protruded, the ears pointed. (...) "The thing put me in a kind of trance," said Larry. "I couldn't speak." When Larry shone the flashlight on the monster, it fell to the ground and disappeared. Then a few minutes later, they heard it again, near the garage. Frightened, Larry's father went back home and brought a .22 long rifle and passed it to Hubbard. As the men crossed the fields, the monster suddenly stood up, clearly visible, fifteen meters away. Larry shone the flashlight on it and Hubbard fired. The first shot hit. The monster gave a horrible cry. (...) Then, inexplicably, in front of the three men, the "creature" was suddenly enveloped in a white mist. In less than a minute the mist disappeared, then darkness.

Event 31307 (DE1C1166)

Date: Early 12/1968
Location: NEW ZEALAND, Te Mata (Havelock North)
Description: (Translated from French) (Before the 20th) The primary school students saw a UFO at close range and were all scared. They noticed a window and an antenna on the saucer-shaped object which hovered at low altitude around a clump of poplars making a kind of "tic-tac" sound. It was as big as half the school swimming pool. The children had reported the object to their teacher. Suddenly the object shot up and flew off in the direction of Hastings, leaving behind a trail of vapor. In Hastings a teacher saw for about ten minutes an object making a kind of come-and-go motion. The nearby aerodrome and civil aviation in Napier confirmed that at the time of the sighting there were no planes in flight in that region. (1968, Early December)

Event 31323 (AF944DD7)

Date: 12/10/1968
Description: This event took place about one-quarter mile from the hydroelectric dam on Lake Secession, near Abbeville, South Carolina at 12:30 a.m. A man was alone in his lake front cottage when he heard a whirring, dynamo sound coming from outside. He also saw an amber-colored flashing light reflecting off the trees outside, so he walked outdoors and saw a disc-shaped UFO directly overhead, not more than ten feet up. The craft was silvery metallic looking, saucer shaped with a smaller dome on top, 35 feet in diameter, about 10 feet high, and it had four sets of lights which bathed the surrounding area in amber light. The witness was terrified and unable to move. After hovering overhead, the craft backed away some 20 feet and descended to where it was almost at eye level with the witness, who was standing on a deck on stilts above the lake, 8 feet off the ground. The dome had a round porthole, but he could not see if there was anyone or anything inside. Nevertheless, he "knew" that someone was there and was looking at him. The craft next rose up, coming directly forward and hovering overhead again. The experience lasted an estimated five minutes, although there were gaps in his memory as to what exactly happened next. The craft finally sped off effortlessly about 200 yards, and hovered momentarily over the lake. It then sped off at a 45 degree angle into the sky towards the southwest at a tremendous speed, quickly vanishing from sight.

Event 31334 (B7710915)

Date: 12/15/1968
Location: FRANCE, from Saint Brieuc to Rennes
Description: (Translated from French) From 18:58 to 20:00, 20 passengers of the "Armor" train observed the maneuvers of a white luminous ball that followed the train. This ball of intense brightness moved on a trajectory that faithfully followed that of the train. It went up and down, sometimes passing a few hundred meters in altitude, sometimes at ground level. Near the agglomerations it lingered above the houses, then caught up with the train a little further on. At Lamballe it stopped vertically to resume its curious game until its arrival in Rennes where it took altitude and suddenly disappeared into the clouds.

Event 31335 (41368BBD)

Date: 12/15/1968
Location: FRANCE, Meaux (Seine et Marne)
Description: (Translated from French) At 10 PM, Pierre Drivière observed an egg-shaped object the size of a large car, yellow in color with orange reflections, moving quickly without making any noise. On his night patrol around the buildings of the "Ultrasonic" factory, Mr. Drivière was very surprised to hear a high-pitched and powerful voice say: "700 K... 700 K... 700 K". Believing he was dealing with pranksters, he circled the building, when the same voice again uttered the words "700 KA". He then observed the object 100 or 150 meters away from him, moving quickly from the south-east to the north-west.

Event 31355 (A32D9AAF)

Location: IN SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) Apollo VIII: presence detected of a space disc during the circumlunar voyage. (Philippe SCHNEYDER: "Ovni, premier bilan" - ed. du Rocher 1983, p. 233) On December 21, at 6 pm a mysterious, luminous object remained visible for about an hour and moved towards the west. The object was photographed at 7:26 pm by the photographic telescope of Professor Furia of the Campo dei Fiori Observatory. The "Corriere della Sera" of December 22, 68 reported: "...the specialists were unable to give any explanation to this phenomenon, at least one of them located it in a hypothetical field." (S. DELLO STROLOGO: "Ce que les Gouvernements vous cachent sur les S.V." De Vecchi 1975 p. 186-187) Apollo 8, Dec. 1968 (Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, William A. Anders) Frank Borman and Jim Lovell reported the presence of a "bogie" (ghost) at fifteen kilometers altitude. (J. Allen HYNEK and Jacques VALLEE: "Aux limites de la réalité" - ed. Albin Michel 1978, p84) During this flight, at the moment when the command module emerged from behind the moon, Lovell transmitted: "We have just been informed that Santa Claus exists!". As it was the eve of Christmas, most people on earth understood that it was a message given with Lovell's humor, for the many children watching television. Others suppose that this term, used for the first time by Walter Schirra in the Mercury 8 flight, has another meaning. The eve of Christmas Borman and Lovell nevertheless reported having seen a UFO. Rumors circulate that NASA would have captured phrases in an unknown language (vog: by Berlitz and Moore e.a.), on one of the frequencies used during the mission.

Event 31363 (F4064DB6)

Date: 12/25/1968
Description: (Translated from French) As Apollo 8 orbited around the lunar surface at a distance of 112 km, the capsule remained completely silent for 6 minutes, despite repeated calls from the Houston base. Then suddenly the voice of James Lovell was heard announcing: We have just been informed that Santa Claus does exist! The man had just experienced a violent surprise, as indicated by the telemetry controls. His pulse had reached 120 beats per minute, while during the previous 93 hours, his heart rate had been perfectly normal. Troubling coincidence, this silence, which Apollo 8 had inexplicably just shown, can be explained by the presence of an external magnetic field, disrupting the radio links with the ground.

Event 31365 (3767A6AC)

Date: Late 12/1968
Locations: Patagonia; Nahuel Huapi Lake, Argentina; Puerto Blest
Description: 11:30 a.m. Traumatologist Sebastian José Tarda is on vacation in Patagonia and leading a group of secondary school students on a motorboat field trip on Nahuel Huapi Lake, Argentina. Tarda is taking photos of the lake shore near Puerto Blest, but does not notice anything unusual. When one slide is developed, it shows a blurry white object against a mountainous background. An analysis by the Argentine UFO group Circulo de Investigación Cientifico Espacial states that the image is not caused by a lens flare, damaged emulsion, or a known object. Another analysis suggests that the object moved while the shutter was depressed. Ground Saucer Watch considers it a lens flare.

Description: (Translated from French) A resident of Goulburn, while out hunting, had a similar experience to one he had ten years prior. He saw an object approximately 40 feet in diameter and 10 feet high. As he approached, a being emerged from behind the object and circled around to meet him. It was a humanoid about five and a half feet tall with a youthful face and long hair. It was wearing a silver-colored material. A conversation ensued in English, which may have lasted three minutes, during which the being declared it was from Saturn. After that, it ran back to the object, which rose about fifteen feet, stayed stationary for a moment, then took off. The man had time to take four photos before it disappeared.

Location: USA, in Missouri
Description: (Translated from French) At the time when she was 7 years old, when she was living with her parents in Missouri, Mrs. Jenny K… experienced an astonishing event. One night she found herself paralyzed in her bed. Then small beings entered her room through the windows of her window. They took the girl by the arms, lifted her from her bed and everyone left the house through the same process, through the closed window. The beings and the child floated in the air while approaching a huge mass above them. The girl also saw her little brother Mark who was being dragged in the same way by other small creatures. This was the beginning of a fantastic series of abductions that lasted until 1992.

Event 31386 (48BD1E69)

Date: 1969
Description: In Passport to Magonia, Jacques Vallée proposes a radically revisionist argument that UFOs are better understood when related to folk traditions about supernatural creatures (elementals, fairies, angels, demons) than to astronomers’ speculations about life in outer space. He says science cannot adequately deal with such matters, although he does not specifically disavow the scientific method. It is the first book to question the ETH and the first to lay the groundwork for the psychosocial hypothesis, which sees UFOs as largely the product of unusual mental states and perpetuated by social acceptance. He argues that ostensible otherworldly manifestations are fantastic images propelled via psychic technology from humanity’s future to generate myths and religions that will change fate. In time the book leads to a new school of ufology whose advocates hold that UFOs and other anomalous experiences are internally generated and shaped entirely by cultural processes as opposed to nonhuman intelligences. Jerry Clark writes that the “genius of Passport, a genuinely brilliant work, is its success in placing UFOs into not only cultural but experiential context.”

Description: Night. During its extended deployment to Vietnam with the 7th Fleet, the destroyer USS Leary is navigating fishing waters in the Gulf of Tonkin. Ensign Will Miller is alerted by the lookout about a possible light from a fishing boat in the water ahead. But the light suddenly moves from above the water to below the surface and heads rapidly toward the ship at 45° to the bow, passing below the vessel. The sailors run to the starboard side to see whether it will emerge, but it does not. Nothing is tracked on radar or sonar or by the ECM system.

They were already aware UAP interfered with combustion engines due to EM effects.

Dryden later joined NACA and then NASA; Dryden told the House Appropriations Committee that someone named “Doolittle” told him UAP didn’t exist.

Event 31406 (54ADA16F)

Date: 1/6/1969
Locations: Leary, Georgia; Eglin AFB near Valparaiso, Florida
Description: 7:15 p.m. Future president Jimmy Carter is preparing to give a speech at a Lions Club meeting at Leary, Georgia. One of the guests calls his attention to a strange object visible about 30° above the horizon to the west of where he is standing. Carter describes the object as being bright white and about as bright as the moon. It appears to have closed in on where he is standing but stops beyond a stand of pine trees some distance from him. The object changes color, first to blue, then to red, then back to white, before appearing to recede into the distance. Carter feels that the object is self-illuminated and not solid in nature. Carter’s report indicates that it is witnessed by about 10–12 other people and is in view for 10–12 minutes before it passes out of sight. Skeptic Robert Sheaffer concludes that the object is a misidentification of Venus. Ufologist Allan Hendry does calculations and agrees with the assessment of the object as Venus. A member of the Carter family thinks it might have been a barium cloud produced by rockets launched from Eglin AFB near Valparaiso, Florida.

Event 31407 (DB1824AC)

Date: 1/6/1969
Description: Maren Merino was working in the kitchen of her family's small café in Pontejos, Santander, Spain at 9:15 p.m. when she looked out the kitchen window and saw an intensely bright light. Her daughter, 25-year old Felicidad Fernandez Merino then entered the kitchen and also observed the light. Felicidad asks her mother about it, but she continued to ignore the light. Thinking this was abnormal, Felicidad yelled to two other women, including a woman called Paquita. All three women then opened the window and saw an incredible scene: on a field only 30 meters away, and hovering about three meters from the ground, was a luminous square 4-5 meters wide. It was an intense orange-white color. Inside the luminous square they saw the silhouette of a man walking about. From the right another figure appeared and both walked toward the left side of the illuminated square. Next, from the opposite end of the square three more figures appear, making a total of five figures. By now the witnesses are totally fascinated and shout out to the beings. At this time they are joined by another witness, 35-year-old Antonio. When Antonio looked out the window the craft vanished from sight.

According to the witnesses the movements of the humanoids was mechanical in nature, with arms straight down their sides with no apparent joint movement. The beings were tall and well built, with normal features, chestnut-color hair, and light skin. They wore something similar to black, tight-fitting coveralls with sleeves and turtlenecks. The incident lasted for five minutes. As the witnesses continued to look for the UFO a small shiny sphere descended from the middle of the sky, falling to the ground in a curved trajectory. The body of the UFO again became visible, clearly displaying the shiny square section and the portion of the object hat had been invisible to the witnesses thus far. It was a dull silver color, lightly fluorescent, and shaped like a domed cupola. The object then rose slowly and disappeared quickly, leaving behind a brilliant greenish track that persisted for about 15 minutes after the object left.

Date: 1/14/1969
Location: AUSTRALIA, Childers, Queensland
Description: (Translated from French) At 4:30 in the morning, the Vas family, recent immigrants, were awoken by their dog's furious barking. At the same time, they heard the buzzing of a swarm of bees, but louder. They stepped out of their caravan and saw at 25 or 30 meters away an "enormous sombrero" that shone with a violet light. Three "men" descended from it in a miniature craft similar to the large object. They seemed to be three times the size of humans. They also shone with a yellow-violet light. They began to pick sugarcane, which they put into the large craft through a transparent tube. After ten minutes, they entered the large vessel, which flew away. The takeoff made the witnesses' hair and fur stand on end.

Event 31428 (E0DEAEFB)

Date: 1/14/1969
Description: George Vas and his wife and two daughters were asleep in their trailer near Childers, Queensland, Australia when they were awakened at 4:30 a.m. by the barking of their dog. They also heard a loud buzzing noise like a swarm of wasps. It came from a UFO shaped like a sombrero, about 25-30 yards in diameter, which gave off a brilliant violet luminosity. From the craft three beings descended. They were huge, "about 3 times as large as humans," and had "blocky arms and legs and shapeless bodies." They emitted a purple and yellow glow. For about ten minutes they gathered sugar cane and other plant specimens, without concern for the observers. Mrs. Olga Vas said that the beings descended from the larger craft in a small object similar in shape. At one point one of the entities came close enough to the group for Mr. Vas to call out in alarm. The "spaceman" showed no concern and moved away only after picking up several rocks. The giant creatures re-entered their craft and the UFO took off vertically. When it took off the hair on the witnesses' bodies stood on end, as if affected by a form of static electricity.

Description: (Translated from French) …a farmer was woken up in the middle of the night…by a strange, penetrating smell coming from outside. (…) He got up to go outside. When he opened the door, he came face to face with two small humanoids strapped in dark suits. The farmer noticed details that gave him the chills: they had a big head and big phosphorescent eyes. The two monstrous little beings advanced towards him, gesticulating. Frightened, the brave man closed the door and barricaded it as best he could. (January 15th, 1969)

Event 31436 (14F80342)

Date: 1/15/1969
Description: During the afternoon of this day Ludwig Pallmann felt a burning sensation from a ring given to him by someone he presumed was an extraterrestrial. The sensation was a signal for an upcoming contact, so Mr. Pallmann took his motorboat to a local sandy beach on Isla del Altar, El Salvador. There he noticed that several huge concentric circles ruffled the normally placid waters of the lake. Shortly after that he encountered a human looking being named Satu Ra, who he had met on previous occasions. Satu Ra was sitting motionless on a nearby rock. He wore dark green coveralls and had on a broad instrument belt on which was a large device. Ra was inexpressively sad. He told Pallmann that another extraterrestrial that they both knew, named Xiti, had been killed. Supposedly a disaster had befallen the expedition on another planet. Shortly after this close encounter locals reported observing a silvery disc-shaped UFO hovering over the capital city San Salvador.

A dog that had been watching the light with him had its hair raised and was growling softly. Alarmed, the witness left the scene. When he returned a few days later with a friend they found three apparent landing marks at the site, six feet apart.

Event 31470 (1C888936)

Date: 1/31/1969
Description: At around 8:00 p.m. a small “space ship” approached General Moacyr Uchoa and his investigating team on Wilson P. Gusmao’s Alexania Fazenda, Goias State, Brazil where UFO sightings had been occurring frequently for more than a year. It performed some maneuvers before landing 100 meters away. Senor Gusmao left the group of investigators and walked up to within a meter of the vessel, which he found to be only two meters long and a meter wide, hovering 18 inches above the ground. A door in the top of the craft opened, and a crew member stood up in the hatch. He looked at Gusmao while manipulating something on his belt, which Gusmao thought was a camera. Then he turned around, and as if obeying an order a big light arose from the nearby ridge. The occupant then turned to face Gusmao, and he put his hand on his belt again, causing a luminous halo to surround his body. After this, the onlookers could see him only as a ball of light. Then, with a slight gesture, he slipped down again into the craft, which took off rapidly.

Event 31471 (DC72E6FD)

Date: 2/1969
Location: CHILE, Valparaiso
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. and Mrs. X and their two daughters were lying down around 4 o'clock in the morning when an intense light coming from outside woke up the father and the whole family. From the window of the house, at the entrance of the beach, near the woods, they saw an object flying at their height at 60 m of distance. It had an octahedral shape with a semi-spherical dome, two kinds of antennas on the upper part of the dome, several portholes and three support points similar to legs. It measured from 5 to 6 m long and about the same in height. Its aspect was metallic, very bright, of a celestial blue. It descended slowly swaying and landed on the 3 legs. A light beam came out of the object and three beings of humanoid aspect descended through this beam which gave the impression of a solid inclined plane. They could not distinguish the features of their faces. They measured 2 m in height. A kind of suit covered their whole body, the gloves and shoes forming a whole with the garment, which had a vertical line all along resembling a closure and one could see like a kind of metal badge on their chest. They walked on the beach: each of them placed in the sand ten small tubes which must have had 10 cm in diameter and 25 cm in length, according to the traces found later. They then picked up the black stones (pumice stone) that were in that place so that the next day the witnesses could not find any more. Then, these beings dressed in dark blue picked up each of their 10 small tubes and went back into the object. The object rose diagonally swaying. During the observation a suction noise was heard. The witness's watch stopped at 04:38 marking the end of the observation. The witnesses had desquamations which healed three days later. They suffered from a nervous depression with a feeling of insecurity.

Event 31486 (B25F6B94)

Date: 2/6/1969
Location: BRAZIL, Vila Pinheros (Pirassununga)
Description: (Translated from French) Tiago Machado, F. Hanse and B. Joana saw a luminous disc resting on the hill. Machado arrived first at the scene and saw two small creatures floating out of the craft, and two others remaining inside. The beings were 1.1 meters tall, wearing metallic-looking suits with ringed joints at the shoulders, elbows and knees. The helmet was round with a tube at its base. They spoke an incomprehensible language in a hoarse and guttural voice. As Hanse and Joana approached, they returned to the craft by floating. One of them directed a weapon resembling a blowtorch at Machado, from which a red-bluish flame emerged, hitting him in the knee. The witness fell. Many witnesses saw the craft take off. Machado, with swollen legs, had to be hospitalized. (CICOANI - Brazil) on 02/06/69 Tiago MACHADO: fainting; swelling of the legs; dehydration, hypersomnia and weight loss; healing by acupuncture (February 6, 1969)

Event 31487 (3979C621)

Date: 2/6/1969
Description: At 7:30 a.m. people in Pirassununga, Sao Paolo, Brazil were excited about a mysterious disc-shaped object on a hillside. Tiago Machado, age 19, got out his binoculars and went up the hill, approaching to within 30 feet. It had a narrow dome on top, was aluminum colored, about 12 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. A hinged door was open in the top of the dome, and from this two humanoid figures emerged and seemed to float to the ground. Two others were visible inside the craft, through windows. The beings, 4.5 feet tall, were dressed in tight, silvery garments without buttons, covering them from head to foot. Their facial features were seen through transparent helmets. Their skin was yellow, and they had slanting eyes, and mouths with thin, slit-like lips. They came to within 3-4 meters of the witness. When they laughed at the witness, who was smoking a cigarette, he could see that they had black teeth. He tossed the cigarette pack close to one, who put his hand above it, and the pack floated up into his hand. The thumb of his hand was set further back than on a human hand. The beings spoke in “hoarse, guttural” sounds. When a friend called out to the witness the entities walked backward and re-entered through the door. The second one, when halfway through, pointed a tube at Machado, which emitted a bluish flame that “floated” toward him. When it hit him, he felt pain and was paralyzed; as the UFO took off, almost horizontally, the witness fainted. A red welt remained where the flame had struck him. On the ground were found three landing gear leg marks.

Event 31488 (317858E2)

Date: 2/6/1969
Description: Barbara Mina Da Silva was weeding a rice field later that same morning at a place called Chacara Do Benedito, Pirassununga, Sao Paulo State, Brazil when two boys, Joao Batista Da Silva, age 9, and Benedito Paulino Ramos, age 13, called to her attention a “shining little tent” 500 meters away. She described it as white, looking like one of the triangular tents used by exterminators of the sauva ant. Nearby were three men with helmets, whom she took to be the workers fighting the ants. The boys told her that the men’s clothing was shining, but she described it as gray. She continued her work, when suddenly the boys cried out, “Look, the little tent has disappeared.” She saw that both tent and men had indeed gone. Shortly afterward the boys pointed out a “luminous ball the size of the sun” stationary just above the woods. It disappeared after 30 minutes, and soon after a Brazilian Air Force helicopter appeared and descended about two kilometers away. The helicopter was seen on several occasions during the next few days.

Event 31491 (41CEE32F)

Date: 2/7/1969
Locations: Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil; hill on the grounds of the Zootecníca
Description: 7:30 a.m. Tiago Machado, 19, wakes up at his home in Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil, and hears a neighbor shouting about a silvery-blue object landed on a hill on the grounds of the Zootecníca. He watches it for a time, then goes in to get binoculars. He goes off to the hill and approaches the object until he is about 33 feet away. It is a disc made of silvery metal with a dome on top. It is about 13 feet in diameter and stands on three legs. A door opens and two men come floating down to the ground. Machado can see two other beings inside. The men walk toward him, making signs. They are wearing silver diver’s suits, have black teeth and thin-lipped mouths, and one eye is lower than the other. Each has a kind of burn or cicatrice on each cheek. Machado is nervous, so he lights a cigarette. The beings apparently think this is funny, so he tosses the cigarette pack toward them. One of them leans sideways and stretches out his hand. The pack floats 8 inches up to his hand and disappears. Suddenly one of Machado’s friends calls out to him, and the beings walk back to the UFO, still facing him, and jump up to the door. The last one in pauses and pulls out a kind of weapon, points it at Machado, and a flame like a welding arc comes out of the barrel and floats toward him, hitting him in the thigh. He feels faint and paralyzed as the UFO takes off. His friends carry him to a neighbor’s house and find a red swelling on his leg. Later, investigators find three imprints in an equilateral triangle at the site, each about 5 inches in diameter. Soil samples taken show no radioactivity.

Event 31492 (5D1548AF)

Date: 2/7/1969
Description: Shortly after 7:00 a.m. in Pirassununga, Sao Paulo State, Brazil the shouts of people exclaiming about a mysterious bluish-white object that had landed on a hillside awakened Tiago Machado, age 19. He grabbed his binoculars and went to look at it, approaching to within 30 feet. It was a domed disc, aluminum colored, about 12 feet in diameter and five feet high. A hinged door was open on the top of the dome and from it two humanoid figures emerged and floated to the ground. Two more beings were visible through windows inside the craft. The beings were 4.5 feet tall and dressed in tight-fitting silvery coveralls without buttons. Their facial features were visible through transparent helmets. Their skin was yellow, their eyes slanting, and their mouths were thin and slit-like. They came to within 3-4 meters of Tiago. When they laughed at him while he puffed a cigarette, he could see that they had black teeth. He tossed the cigarette pack close to one, who put his hand over it and the pack floated up into his hand. The thumb of his hand was set further back than it would be on a human's hand. The beings spoke in “hoarse, guttural” sounds. When a friend shouted out to Tiago the entities walked backward and re-entered the craft through the door. The second one pointed a tube at Machado when halfway through, and it emitted a bluish flame that “floated” at him. When it hit him he felt pain and was paralyzed. The UFO took off in a horizontal direction just as the witness fainted. A red welt remained where the flame had struck him. On the ground were found three landing-leg marks.

Event 31501 (817FAEF9)

Date: 2/12/1969
Location: BRASIL, Pirassununga
Description: (Translated from French) Luis Flozino had been married for nine years and was the father of eight children. At 5:40 in the morning, after finishing his breakfast, he was rolling his first cigarette of the day when he heard a noise of branches being crumpled in the nearby woods. Without transition he felt himself seized by a force that was pulling him out of the house, whose door was open, and dragging him in a semi-suspended state in the air. In his efforts to free himself he was braking with his feet on the ground and was losing his shoes. This force was irresistibly taking him to a small wood 200 m away. There he realized that all this was the work of two strange beings, about 140 cm tall, and "very ugly" by our usual standards. Their eyes were asymmetrical, their hair on their shoulders, a beard that covered the lower part of their face, he was seized again while these creatures were talking between them. He received three blows on his right ear, but Flozino, a strong man, managed to free himself. He was getting up, still dizzy, while the unknowns were coming back to the attack. He decided to face them, but they were agile. He still managed to knock them down one on top of the other. They exchanged some words between them and said to him in Portuguese: "Now we are leaving, because with you we cannot..." They were turning on their heels at the same time and were entering the wood without hurrying. The witness, furious at this aggression, pursued them, caught up with them and seizing their long oily hair tied them together by knotting them. These beings continued their way imperturbably without undoing their hair. The thickets in which they were progressing easily prevented Flozino from following them, so he had to give up the pursuit. The dog that accompanied Flozino everywhere had first started to bark furiously, then to howl and to roll on the ground moaning. (February 12, 1969)

Event 31506 (D80F7F31)

Date: 2/12/1969
Description: At 5:40 a.m. in Pirassununga, Sao Paolo state, Brazil Luis Flozinho De Oliveira, a farm worker, was on his way to work when he was approached and attacked by two strange looking aggressive tan skinned beings. The men were 1.5 meters (4.95 feet) tall and had beards, long hair, and asymmetrical eyes. Both humanoids wore white unbuttoned shirts and long beige colored pants with what appeared to be colorful inscriptions and drawings on them. They also wore dark shiny medallions around their necks. At first stunned, Luis fought back effectively, knocking them both to the ground, one on top of the other. The two humanoids got up and exchanged some words between themselves in a strange language. They then told Luis in perfect Portuguese that they were leaving since he was much stronger than they, and they both fled into the thick underbrush. Luis's dog “rolled up into a ball on the ground for protection” during the attack upon its master. The dog refused to eat anything after the encounter, and died a month later, its body found bloated up. The dog had never been willing to return to the place of the encounter.

Description: Morning. Barbara Smyth, a teacher in a small town in Alberta, is driving to school when she sees on her right a “gigantic, bright pinky-red coloured” object “about seven times the size of a steel granary of 14ft. diameter.” It looks like two rounded layers divided by a thin blue line. There are two flashing white lights on the top and a tent-like structure that pulsates and changes color from silver to fiery yellow. The UFO starts spinning counterclockwise and jumps over to the next hill. Suddenly, her car is no longer under her control as it floats down a very bumpy road. After three minutes the UFO disappears, and the car returns to normal.

Event 31522 (0B419E10)

Date: 2/20/1969
Location: BRAZIL, Pirassununga
Description: (Translated from French) During the night José Antonio Fioco was woken up by the noise coming from the pigsty. He got up and went outside to take a look. In the fields, 20 m away from him, he saw a disc-shaped object resting on the ground on a tripod. Around the ramp of the craft stood three small beings: one was holding a tube about 35 cm long and was illuminating the henhouse with this instrument that emitted a pink light up to 250 m. A second one was looking into a "box" camera, the third one had a tube, longer than the first one, and was using it to examine the ground. When the witness turned around to alert other people, these beings finally noticed his presence. They were wearing a shiny metallic-looking suit and short boots. Immediately the craft took off. Duration of the incident: 3 minutes. (CICOANI - Brazil) (vog: now follows a completely different version….:) Jose Antonio Fioco (...) became the witness of several successive UFO landings near his farm. In one particular case (...) he was able to give details about the object and its occupants. (...) Fioco revealed that on several occasions he had noticed interferences in the images received by his television. This is how he had noticed that the programs of channel 4 of the Sao Paulo station were sometimes replaced by images showing women with strange clothes that went down to their feet and a kind of ruff around their face, as well as helmeted men, all of small size. These beings were speaking in a curious unknown language, which resembled the idiom of a Hungarian who had stayed for some time in the countryside with words containing very few syllables. The voice was deep and the phrases badly pronounced. The images received were unstable, blurry, rarely clear. The whole family was able to witness these strange interference phenomena. (...) radio broadcasts interrupted and replaced by an unintelligible voice, especially during certain space flights carried out by NASA. (...)

Event 31531 (D15859B5)

Date: 2/22/1969
Description: Nathan Brown, a 46-year-old Maori, was walking home in Awanui, New Zealand at one a.m. when he saw a light. He came upon two men sitting with their backs to the road and their feet in a ditch, while a pale young woman with white, shoulder length hair lay across the ditch. She wore a long white gown that covered her feet. The men sat in a relaxed attitude looking down at the woman. They were about 5.5 feet in height, had dark brown skin and closely cropped hair, and wore brown pants and jackets. He questioned the men but got no response. When he stepped closer to see what was wrong with the woman he ran into an invisible barrier that he likened to a bar across the stomach. He tried to grab one of the men but was again prevented by a force that repelled him. This frightened him and he ran off, "shaking like a leaf." The light he first saw was a luminous haze that had no visible source. Mr. Brown found some marks on the ground at the site the following day.

Date: 2/23/1969
Description: On this day two boys claimed they saw an emormous flying object while bathing in a waterfall in the mountains near Edmundo Soares in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. From a vertical door two small men emerged. They had human features and their faces had a greenish tint. Their chests were luminous, and from the waists down they wore ashen-gray trousers. The boys fled down the mountain. They returned later that day with two guards, but there was no longer anything to be found at the site.

It was about 100 ft. in diam. apparently rotating clockwise and emitting a strong white beam of light down to the road which seemed to magnify the size of theroad it was shining on. He felt intense heat from the direction of the UFO and his CB radio was dead. As heneared the light beam from the UFO his truck motor and radio quit. As the beam moved away from his truck he was able to start the engine again. He followed the UFO for about 4 mi. staying away from the beam. The UFO followed the contour of the land it was flying over. After 7–8 min. the UFO veered away and went out of sight. “I had never believed in them too much until I saw this,” he said. “Now I know that there is something to these UFOs!”

Event 31565 (90D19FAE)

Date: 3/4/1969
Locations: Missouri J; Elmer; Atlanta, Missouri
Description: 6:40 a.m. William Overstreet, 50, is driving his truck on Missouri J between Elmer and Atlanta, Missouri, when he sees a bright reddish-orange light about 100 feet in diameter and floating along at 40 mph. It begins to follow the road and beams a strong, cone-shaped white light on to the road from a height of 50 feet. Overstreet can feel the heat. The object changes from red to a blue sphere surrounded by a red ring. He attempts to drive through the beam, but his motor and radio die when he gets to within 6 feet. The beam moves away a bit, he tries again, and the same thing happens. The UFO moves about a mile away, turns back to red, switches off the beam, and cruises away.

Location: SWEDEN, Hemliden
Description: (Translated from French) Kjel Näslund, station director, began his shift at 6:00 PM with routine checks. "Suddenly the alarms went off one after the other, so I went outside and then back in and called the Sundsvall station to report the disturbance. Around 6:30 PM I had the feeling that I had to go outside." He opened the door and saw an enormous object 15 meters from the building, estimated to be 150 meters in diameter, filling the ravine behind the station. Inside the object was a tunnel, glowing with a misty gray light. Next to the object and in the tunnel he saw about ten individuals: they looked like clouds without outlines and seemed to be floating, about 130 cm tall and 30 to 40 cm wide. The witness wanted to call the police but realized he couldn't move.

Event 31600 (92516085)

Date: 3/12/1969
Description: Mr. K. Maslund, a radio and TV station technician, was at work at his TV station at 6:30 p.m. in Trejorningsjo, Angermanland, Sweden when he heard the station’s transmission alarm system go off. Opening the door, he saw outside about 50 feet away a UFO 150 meters wide and 5-6 meters tall, hovering in the air. A “tunnel of light” extended from the object through which the witness saw 7 or 8 entities, about 1.30 meters tall by 30-40 cm wide, floating towards him. They passed Maslund within inches and he found that he could not move; after 5-10 minutes, they left the station and re-entered the object through the tunnel, which then closed. The object then took off toward the north and the witness was again able to move. The entities were non-humanoid in shape, looking more like boxes than anything; he had the feeling the entities were inside the boxes and did not want to be recognized in their “true form.”

Description: At 2:45 a.m. a retired army general had become stranded along a dirt road near Barra da Tijuca, Brazil after his car engine had quit. Moments later he saw a light rising above a nearby hill and felt a strong compulsion to walk towards it. After a short walk he came upon an object with translucent walls that gave off a dazzling light. Despite the translucent appearance the object seemed to be made of some metallic substance. Part of the surface of the object flung itself back, and three human-like figures stood in the opening, one a woman. The witness was invited inside by one of the men, who informed him that the other two were also humans. After a short ride in the craft he was told that time, as we conceive of it, doesn't exist. He was eventually released back to his vehicle, which could quickly be started again without any difficulty.

Event 31629 (6AE1CB3F)

Date: 3/19/1969
Description: Near Gladstone, Queensland, Australia a saucer-shaped object approached two cars, hovered near one car, and began pulsating. As it got brighter, the cars' headlights spread wider than usual; as it dimmed, the headlights went back to normal. The two cars kept driving together, but the craft again came to hover over one of the cars. The drivers stopped again, but this time nothing happened to the headlights. The object rocked gently while keeping its position. After a few minutes of hovering it flew quickly into the distance.

Event 31630 (4E5FD12D)

Date: 3/19/1969
Description: In 1969 Renato Bifarella of Caltanissetta, Italy on the island of Sicily was looking at the sky with binoculars on a night of a full moon, when at 1:35 a.m. he saw what resembled a “tortoise” hovering in the sky. It was green in color with pale brown spots, and had “legs” underneath. It was 5-6 meters wide and four meters high, with a brilliantly lit turret in which he could see at least two figures moving about. It approached him, and emitted a beam of pink light that struck him and caused him to faint. When he regained consciousness, he could see that the UFO had led down two thick “ropes” that were one meter in thickness. Through binoculars he was able to see that two humanoid figures—one in red overalls and the other in white, with blue helmets---were climbing toward the object. The witness fainted again, and when he came to, the object was gone.

Event 31633 (4C0BF77E)

Date: 3/21/1969
Location: FRANCE, Evillers
Description: (Translated from French) At 10:30 PM Marcel Baud was at the doorstep along with the Pointurier couple, Alcide Pointurier and Jean-Marie Reddat. Suddenly it seemed to them that a farm was burning a few hundred meters away. As there were no buildings in that direction, it seemed strange to them. Looking carefully, they saw that the phenomenon was moving slowly to the right in front of the ridges separating Evillers and Septfontaines. It was a black, rectangular object with symmetrically 4 or 5 openings in the lower part and 4 or 5 openings in the upper part. These openings were of a dark red color illuminating the black rectangular mass. The phenomenon was advancing at a very low altitude. Observation until 10:45 PM: it passed behind a house and was not seen again.

Event 31637 (519BDEF5)

Date: 3/22/1969
Description: Two unidentified teenage girls were returning home in the Colegio Batista district of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil at around 8 p.m. when they saw a luminous object with a blue light hovering in the west. It had a ring of white lights around it and appeared to be spinning. At home later one of the girls went to the window and saw a little man near a gate ten meters away. He was standing erect and facing her window. He wore a kind of diving suit with a soft green luminosity, and a helmet through which she could see a pair of glowing reflective eyes, like those of a cat. She told her earlier companion and a third girl. The second girl also saw the entity, who by then was standing facing sideways. The third girl ran to the aid of the first witness who was so frightened by the figure's appearance she went into a state of shock. That same evening the boyfriend of one of these girls was walking on the other side of the city when the streetlights went out and he saw the faintly illuminated silhouettes of two small figures standing on a precipice above the street only a few meters away from him. Frightened, he hurried on, but walking through the area later the streetlights were on again and the figures were gone.

Event 31642 (F9B8E0D5)

Date: 3/31/1969
Description: As many as two hundred residents of of the Coenze neighborhood in Nova Iguaca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil witnessed the descent of a "mystery airplane" on Maxambona Hill in the middle of the afternoon. It fell from the sky, falling in an unusually slow manner, in an apparent controlled descent. Among the many witnesses was an elderly man and his children. He told the children to go immediately to the landing site to assist any possible survivors. As he watched hundreds of townspeople converging on the hill, he saw two beings come out of the craft. The craft itself seemed to be slowly "moving like a wing" that was shifting slightly in the wind. When the first people neared the site the object and its occupants vanished abruptly, and nothing was to be found at the "crash" site. No one heard any engine noise as the craft descended, and investigations at the site by the military police found no wreckage.

Description: The two witnesses were parked in a remote area of West Nyack, New York at 7:00 p.m. when they saw a light approach. They got out of the car and saw a large oval-shaped craft with lights around its edge and a beam of light shining from its center. A memory lapse occurred, with one witness vaguely recalling the object landing and shining a beam of light towards them. Later one of the witnesses remembered being inside a circular room lying on a white Formica table. He was surrounded by several humanoids described as being five-foot tall with pale gray skin, large round heads, and large black eyes. These beings were well built and wore tight fitting grayish green coveralls. One being appeared to be the examiner, and he wore a turtleneck garment and peered intently into the witness's face. At one point one of the witnesses remembered struggling and thought it felt that he had been ripped to pieces and then reassembled again.

Event 31656 (AF073901)

Date: 4/10/1969
Description: At ten o’clock in the evening, in the midst of a flurry of UFO sightings in various regions of Brazil, student Marco Antonio von Kruger in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais state, Brazil noticed interference on his TV. He looked out his window and saw a “vague shape in movement” and also heard garbage cans being overturned. The next day he found that someone or some creature had been rummaging through the garbage cans. At about the same time that Marco reported his observation, a worker returning home not far from Marco’s home observed an enormous round UFO hovering near the ground from which came “strange measured, muffled sounds.”

Event 31658 (A43BA7AE)

Date: 4/12/1969
Locations: Pori Airport, Finland; Vaasa
Description: During a Fouga Magister aircraft training mission at Pori Airport, Finland, a Finnish Defence Forces flight controller tells pilot-in-training Tarmo Tukeva to investigate seven air balloons that are floating at approximately 5,000–9,800 feet above the airport. Tukeva reports that the objects are ball or disc-shaped but cannot determine how far away they are. Tukeva sees the objects accelerate away from him “at great speed.” Indeterminate radar images are also later reported 125 miles away in Vaasa. A second pilot-in-training, Jouko Kuronen, overhears the radio communications between the flight controller and Tukeva and sees the UFOs as well. According to the Finnish Armed Forces magazine Ruotuväki, the reports are similar to other cases occurring over bodies of water during ongoing military exercises and may have been due to “transnational spy planes or aircraft.”

Date: 4/12/1969
Description: A former-schoolmistress was exercising her dog in some fields between Bridgeworth and Shrewsbury, England at about 6:30 p.m. when she observed a top-shaped object on the far side of a hedge, It stood about three meters high and was resting on gray colored legs. Around the object she saw three beings about the size of 11-year-old children. They had pear shaped heads and appeared to be lacking hands. They wore black outfits with white belts. Despite their apparent lack of hands they were collecting samples from the ground that they placed on the side of the object. The specimens seemed to disappear into the solid craft. The woman's dog fled the scene at the outset of her encounter.

Description: Morning. T. J. Hefferman of Bungawalban, New South Wales, wakes up and notices that his dogs are “strangely subdued.” Outside, he finds a flattened area in a sacaline (Reynoutria sachalinensis) forage crop on his property. A roughly circular area is flattened in four distinct patches, the largest 60 by 15 feet. All the stalks lie in one direction, north to south. The previous night, two men working night shift on a flood mitigation dredge a quarter mile north of the farm had seen a glow in the sky, and a neighboring farmer had seen two “toplike objects” moving about for a number of nights. G. Testa, an independent investigator from Lismore, visits the site on April 20 and takes 25 feet of 8mm color film to document the damage.

A powerful beam of light switches on across the top of the cane path, and it slowly turns in a half circle before going out and being replaced by a “low beam” and “cabin lights.” A UFO is above the cane and she feels a powerful force lifting her up and pulling her toward the object when the “high beam” is on. The helmet-shaped object is 20–28 feet long and 22 feet wide. At its closest the UFO is 40–50 feet away. It disappears suddenly.

Event 31676 (851580CD)

Date: 4/20/1969
Description: On this evening in Itaucu, Goias state, Brazil, 25-year-old Adelino Roque was on his way to the local Serradinho ranch on his horse when a bright beam of light struck him from above. He soon found himself inside some kind of dark, drum-like object that was totally silent. The object was moving through the sky at a very high speed. He blanked out and could not remember anything after that. He awoke lying on top of a rock next to the Paranaiba River, miles from his original location. Meanwhile, his horse had been found tied up at another ranch, apparently unharmed. Sr. Roque also appeared to be unharmed except for a strange bruise on his side. He did not remember seeing any entities or hearing anyone talk to him during the time he was missing. Soon after his experience he began neglecting his work and drinking heavily. He also reportedly fell in love with his 17-year-old niece. A month later Roque again was reported missing, this time along with his niece. On June 12, both Roque and his niece were found dead under unusual circumstances. Some said they had been poisoned.

Date: 4/21/1969
Description: Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez were driving through the countryside between Penaranda and Macotera in Salamanca, Spain when they noticed some lights ahead, perhaps a kilometer away. As they got closer they noticed a UFO low over the roadway. It had a red rotating central light that was flashing and intense, and two smaller green lights separated by 20 meters. They approached to within 70 meters, when the UFO suddenly took off. It was raining hard at time, and their close encounter lasted less than a minute.

Event 31691 (25105407)

Date: 4/25/1969
Location: Roberts Park in Greenacre, New South Wales
Description: 7:30 p.m. A woman and her 11-year-old daughter are travelling by taxi past Roberts Park in Greenacre, New South Wales, when they spot a “Japanese lantern” above some trees. One minute later, as the taxi turns a corner, they see it again, 100–130 feet away, apparently in the same spot. The driver stops the taxi, and they can see what looks like a metallic craft, approximately 33 feet in diameter, with the appearance of “two soup bowls joined rim- to-rim.” There is a steady red light on top. The object seems to be noiselessly rocking backwards and forwards, at a frequency of 1–2 rocks per second. A “depressing blue glow” can be seen through a window that takes up most of the upper part. A humanoid figure is apparently operating controls near the window. Another figure is pointing at the witnesses. A third seems to be walking toward a back door. All three are apparently human-sized and are either wearing tight black clothing, are black skinned, or seen in silhouette. After 15 seconds or less, the driver speeds off down the road, drops the couple off, and drives off quickly without taking their fare. At 8:00 p.m., the woman and her daughter return to the park. The UFO is not to be seen.

Event 31692 (89AADC3D)

Date: 4/25/1969
Description: At 7:30 p.m. a ten-meter diameter disc-shaped object was seen hovering over a park in Greenacre, New South Wales, Australia by three witnesses. A Greenacre woman, Mrs. Froml, and her 13-year old daughter were going home by taxi. When they passed Roberts Park they saw the object hovering over a playing field lit by floodlights, where some youths were playing football. The floodlights formed a kind of ceiling over the field and it was unlikely that had any of the players looked up, they would have seen anything. The object was football shaped, the top was transparent, and the bottom was a greenish metallic color, like gun metal. It had an interior light that was "the brightest blue imaginable," and the bottom portion had three large transparent holes. The object was tilted downward, and inside the object could be seen three tall humanoid figures, over six feet tall. in the transparent upper half of the UFO. One pointed down at the witnesses and then turned toward a rectangular, lighted area, apparently working some controls. Mrs Froml asked the cabbie, a Greek immigrant, to stop the taxi, but instead he accelerated away from the park and drove straight to her home. After he dropped her and her daughter off, he left in a frightened state, without collecting his fare.

Description: Condon speaks publicly for the first time after the end of the Colorado project in an address to the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on “UFOs I Have Loved and Lost.” He concludes by saying, “Let me say that where corruption of children’s minds is at stake, I do not believe in freedom of the press or freedom of speech. In my view, publishers who publish or teachers who teach any of the pseudosciences as established truth should, on being found guilty, be publicly horsewhipped, and forever banned from further activity in these usually honorable professions.”

Date: 4/26/1969
Description: On this evening David Arychuk was out walking his dog in Calgary, Alberta when he saw a circular object with three pulsating red lights around the top, 200 yards away from him. The UFO was about 30 feet in diameter and 20 feet high, and cream-colored with a pitted surface. He smelled a rather nauseating odor of "sweet bitterness" that was in the air. One hundred yards away stood two humanoid beings, "taller than normal," wearing dark clothing. David yelled out "Hey you!" and they walked around behind the UFO. His dog refused to go on and was shivering from fright. By the time David came back to the site with his stepfather the UFO was gone, but the odor was still present the next day.

Event 31713 (7145C072)

Date: 5/3/1969 (approximate)
Location: BRAZIL, Bebedouro (Belo Horizonte)
Description: (Translated from French) José Antonio da Silva, a military man, was fishing in a lagoon north of Belo Horizonte and saw shapes moving behind him. He saw a flash of light hit his legs and felt a numbness that made him drop his fishing rod and fall to his knees. He was seized by two masked individuals, about one meter twenty tall, wearing metallic suits, who took him to a machine resembling a vertical cylinder. Inside, the beings gave him a mask similar to theirs and tied him up before taking off. The higher the aircraft flew, the harder it was for the soldier to breathe. He felt a fatigue similar to paralysis. After what seemed like an interminable journey, the aircraft landed with a jolt. He was untied but a band was put on his mask and they dragged him, his knees scraping the ground. He was placed on a seat without a back and the band was removed. He found himself in a room about 9 by 13 meters, 4.5 meters away from a robust dwarf who fixed him with an obvious satisfaction. The dwarf was very hairy. He had green eyes. Other similar dwarves arrived, until there were 15 of them. The three walls in front of him had neither door nor window. On the left, a platform held the corpses of four men, one of them black. He had to drink from a stone cube with an inverted pyramid carved into it, a dark green liquid. On the left wall there were paintings of animals, vehicles and very earthly houses. The dwarves examined his fishing equipment and took a double of each item: one of each type of hook, one banknote. A conversation by signs was established with the chief dwarf. At one point José Antonio had a vision of an entity resembling Christ. Then he was taken back. He lost consciousness and woke up alone near the town of Victoria, in the state of Espirito Santo, three hundred and sixty kilometers from where he was fishing. Four and a half days had passed.

Description: (Translated from French) North of Belo Horizonte, José Antonio da Silva went fishing. He was suddenly paralyzed by a beam of light and transported to a cylindrical and vertical craft, with a saucer at the base and one at the top, by 2 creatures 1.20m tall, wearing silver-colored costumes and masks. Once inside, he was restrained and forced to wear a helmet. The machine took off and, after an interminable time, landed. Da Silva's eyes were blindfolded and he was taken to a brightly lit room, in which he saw the bodies of 4 other humans. He was then interrogated by 15 tiny creatures. They were hairy, with long red beards and hair of the same color, big noses, big ears and no teeth. They took his fishing gear, his ID card, and his banknotes. They asked him to be their guide among men. When he refused, he was brought back to Earth. (May 4th, 3pm)

Event 31718 (7ED6C542)

Date: 5/4/1969
End date: 5/9/1969
Locations: Bebedouro; Área de Proteção Ambiental do Carste de Lagoa Santa; Matozinhos, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Description: 3:00 p.m. A 24-year-old Brazilian soldier named José Antônio da Silva is fishing by himself at Bebedouro (apparently a small lagoon in the Área de Proteção Ambiental do Carste de Lagoa Santa) near Matozinhos, Minas Gerais, Brazil, when he begins dozing off. He perceives figures moving around him, and he feels himself shot with something that paralyzes his legs. Two small humanoid beings, joined by a third, drag him off into a strange machine shaped like two saucers joined together by a thick, vertical cylinder. The machine lifts off, and after a long interval it lands. Da Silva is carried by his armpits into a large quadrangular room, where he finds himself with his original three captors and a fourth being—also humanoid, with red hair and a beard that comes down to his waist—who seems to be their leader. He remembers afterward that all four have mouths that look like fishes’ mouths. The room is made of stone. Inside, on a low shelf seemingly fashioned out of stone, da Silva sees the bodies of four human men lying stretched out side by side. Naked, rigid, and positioned on their backs, the bodies bear no visible wounds, but it is obvious that they are dead. One is a well-built black man and another has light brown skin. Two others, more slightly built, are Caucasian, one of them very blond “like a foreigner.” The beings do not speak any Portuguese but, using pictures, the leader manages to convey to da Silva that they want him to be their guide and weapons provider for what he supposes is a subsequent invasion of Earth. He refuses, fingering his crucifix, which the angry leader rips from his hand. Out of nowhere, da Silva sees appear in front of him a human figure who stands motionless, gazing at him in a friendly fashion. The figure, about five and a half feet tall, is Caucasian, slender, bearded with long fair hair, and dressed in a friar’s cassock. Amazingly, the little men seem oblivious to his presence. Speaking in Portuguese, the figure gives da Silva certain “revelations” that he afterward insists on keeping secret. He apparently knows who the figure is but he does not reveal that either, saying only that he wasn’t Jesus. The figure vanishes, and the beings who have abducted him start quarreling among themselves. They carry da Silva back to their machine; there follows another flight, another landing. Da Silva awakens in the dawn of what turns out to be May 9, four and a half days after his abduction, some 300 miles to the east of the place where he had been abducted. He supposedly bears the physical marks of his ordeal— wounds on his neck, lameness in one leg—for days afterward.

Event 31719 (0A5C6A70)

Date: 5/4/1969
Description: An abduction occurred in 1969 to a soldier while fishing on the banks of the Rio das Velhas near the city of Bebedouro in the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil. Jose Antonio da Silva had left his home in Belo Horizonte and taken a bus to Bebedouro to go fishing the evening before. At about midnight he reached the banks of a small lagoon and set up his tent and fished for a while without success. The next day, at about 3 p.m. he became aware of figures moving around behind him. He heard a deep sound like a groan, then was struck in the legs by a "burst of fire" coming from a form partly hidden in the bushes. Seized with a cramp and feeling a numbness in his legs, he knelt down. A beam of light, greenish in the middle and reddish on the edges, had hit him. In a matter of seconds he was seized under the armpits by masked two four-foot-tall humanoid beings, who wore shining light-colored garments and aluminum colored helmets with facemasks. Tubes ran from the masks to small containers on their backs.

They blindfolded him and brought him before a little man with long red hair and a big nose. They dragged him to a craft that was shaped like a vertical cylinder terminated by wider saucer shaped top and bottom; rods from the base of the cylinder supported the upper disc. It was only bout six feet high and nine feet wide. Inside was a cubical room, brilliantly lit but from no visible source. Here they fitted on him a helmet like their own, then tied him down to a seat.

He felt a sensation of taking off. During the flight, which he felt lasted for hours, they talked among themselves in an incomprehensible language with many "R" sounds. At one point in the journey the craft seemed to turn on its side for awhile. When they landed he was blindfolded and dragged into a large room, where a little man without a spacesuit confronted him; he had long reddish hair and a beard that flowed to his waist. He was strongly built, and his skin was pallid in color. He had large round, green eyes and a big nose, and his mouth appeared toothless, "like a fish." To the side of the witness were laid 4 human cadavers, one a Negro's. A dozen more little men, all much resembling the leader, were in the room. They examined his fishing tackle and other possessions. Several carried weapons. The leader then addressed him in his incomprehensible language, simultaneously making sketches on a whiteboard beside him.

He was given a stone cup and drank a bitter green liquid that restored his energy and made him better able to comprehend what the alien was trying to say. The leader conveyed to Da Silva the idea that he was expected to help them land on Earth, a proposition that the soldier rejected, fingering his rosary. The leader became irritated, snatched the rosary away, and showed it to the others. At this point a kind of vision appeared to Da Silva of a Christ-like man with long fair hair and beard, dressed like a monk, who spoke to him in Portuguese, giving him a message, which he was sworn to keep secret. After this vision had vanished, Da Silva was again blindfolded, dragged back to the spacecraft, and returned to Earth in the same manner as he had been taken away. He was released during the night. When morning came he found that he was near Vitoria, more than 200 miles from Bebedouro, and that four and a half days had passed since his abduction. He suffered various physical ailments later. Jose Antonio has repeatedly refused to reveal the content of this message.

Event 31721 (49FE7307)

Date: 5/5/1969
Description: A deaf mute named Antonio Rodrigues, age 60, of the Fazenda Constantino was fishing during the day on the Rio Das Velhas near Jaboticatubas, Minas Gerais, Brazil when he was confronted by the same type of beings that Jose Antonio Da Silva encountered the day before in Bebedouro, 20 kilometers to the east. When they made signs for him to approach he fled in terror, and they pursued him and knocked him to the ground by the force from an energy weapon one of the short humanoids drew from his belt. They gathered around Rodrigues, felt his arm, and conversed amongst themselves in an unintelligible language. Finally, they shook their heads and departed in a UFO parked nearby that ascended vertically. The witness identified the beings from various drawings, including Da Silva's that were shown to him by the investigators.

Description: 2:00 a.m. Near the village of Chapeau, Quebec, on L’Isle-aux-Allumettes in the Ottawa River, farmer Leo Paul Chaput is awakened by his dog barking. He looks out the window and sees a brilliant light close to the ground. The light source seems to be a domed craft with a flat bottom (like a World War I helmet) about 500 feet away. He looks away briefly, and the object is gone, although he can hear the diminishing sound of a motor. When Chaput gets up in the morning, he finds a large circular indentation in the ground, 600 feet from his house. The impression is 32 feet in diameter and is surrounded by a ring of scorched grass 2.5 feet wide. Inside, the vegetation is not damaged, but there are three holes that form a perfect equilateral triangle, 15 feet on a side. The holes are 8 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. He finds a second, slightly smaller circle to the southwest, again with scorched grass and 3 indentations. A third ground marking, a semicircle, is near the second.

He had just driven past the Rockville General Store when he noticed something about 50 yards ahead of his car. At first he thought it might be a couple of deer, but he soon realized that he was looking at two humanoid figures about three and a half to four feet tall. The creatures were wearing spherical helmets that looked as large as basketballs. Circling each helmet was a pale green band that reflected the headlights of the vehicle. The beings stood motionless at first, but they soon scurried off by running up an embankment to the left. The first two had barely disappeared when a third small being appeared from the right side of the road and quickly joined the others by climbing over the embankment. Luczkowich reported that the little men were dressed in light-brown coveralls that were somewhat baggy in the legs but tight-fitting at the ankles. He did not see any arms, and he could not detect features behind the oversized helmets.

The student was shaken by his experience, and he did not tell anyone of the encounter until Sunday. On Monday Luczkowich and three other men returned to the site. They were able to locate a fresh trail through the poison ivy and honeysuckle growing on the embankment the three beings had scaled. Beyond the embankment they found a barley field with a path through it, such as the three humanoids might have made. After walking in a few feet they noticed two flattened areas, where small entities might have thrown themselves down in the field. According to Luczkowich, the crushed barley at one flattened area showed the imprint of two small bodies, while the other impression outlined one other small body. About a half mile west of the area and two hours earlier 18-year-old Debbie Payne had reported seeing an oval-shaped luminous object over her house when she arrived home from a date. The UFO appeared rather bright, then dimmed and became bright two times before she and her date reached the door to her house.

Location: Moscow
Description: The DARPA Pandora Project committee discusses plans to move forward with eight human subjects who will be exposed to microwaves similar to the Moscow Signal and then given a full battery of medical and psychological tests. The committee recommends “gonadal protection be provided” to the male test subjects; however, human testing is not pursued. The program is shut down later in 1969, with an effect of the signal on behavior and/or biological functions deemed “too subtle or insignificant to be evident.”

Description: (Translated from French) In the morning around 7:30am, Georges Kaiser went out to his tractor. (...) He crossed the farm yard when he had the sensation of an unusual presence. Surprised, he saw 6m away from him a being who, for two minutes, paid him no attention. It was at least 2.50m tall, standing but leaning forward. Its arms were the same length as a normal man's and its musculature seemed very developed. It had no neck, its head resting directly on its shoulders. Its hands had normal fingers (...) It had long hair falling down the back of its massive head. Its whole body was covered in hair, except for its face which was black and the palms of its hands too. Georges (...) made a movement to retreat, which drew the attention of the being. It immediately emitted a growl and turned around to flee. It jumped over the ditch bordering the road and disappeared. It was running at an astonishing speed.

Around 1:00 AM the witness was woken up by a rumbling engine and he thought his scooter was being stolen. Hurriedly getting up he went to check: the scooter was still there, but now he heard the dog growling. He was heading towards the animal when he saw a luminous spot on the ground and looking up he saw a dark circular object hovering at about 500 m altitude. Very quickly the object grew bigger, as if it was descending, and scared the witness wanted to run back to the house: he was unable to move. When it reached 1 m from the ground, the witness saw an opening of one meter diameter and he was sucked inside into a circular compartment of about 14 m diameter brightly lit. Standing in this place he saw to his right and left a group of three small beings each time, 80 cm tall, sitting on round stools without legs. They were covered with a kind of flexible fabric wrapping the head and the visible part of the body: only the thorax. These beings had a language made of grunts and yaps and were only occupied with a panel in front of each of them. This lasted about 5 minutes. Then, the light increased even more in intensity and the witness lost consciousness. He woke up at 6:00 AM in his bed with pain in his shoulders and red and irritated eyes.

Event 31759 (7750DF65)

Description: Jose Pereira Sacramento was awakened by a noise outside his home in Vila Operaria, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Going outside through his back door at 1:00 a.m., he saw "the white face of an animal" and a light in the sky which came down toward him. He was paralyzed and could not move to re-enter the house or call out. An "enormous object" landed beside him, and he was "pulled through an opening" into the ship, finding himself inside a small elevator, which went up into a brightly lit circular compartment with a curved ceiling, about 45 feet in diameter. In this room were six small humanoid beings only 31 inches tall. They had big heads and they wore tight-fitting, plastic like outfits, entirely covering their bodies and heads, light cream in color, having openings only for their eyes and ears. Their eyes were slanted. Each entity stood inside a cylinder three feet in diameter and 15" high, and above its head was a curved plate with a lever. They spoke among themselves in a language of short shrilly sounds, "like pigs grunting." After four or five minutes one of the beings moved a control and the illumination increased in brightness to such a point that Pereira lost consciousness. At 6:00 a.m. he woke up in his bed, not knowing how he got there. He had an inflammation of the eyes lasted a month, and a year after the event he still felt light-headed and had difficulty concentrating.

Event 31762 (2370DC6E)

Date: 5/21/1969
Description: Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil - At midnight Jose Antonio Da Silva had a sudden impulse to get out of bed and go into his garden. He stepped out his door and saw three of the same short entities he had a frightening encounter with earlier that month at Bebedouro, Minas Gerais, Brazil dressed in the same flightsuits. They stood motionless, looking at him. He quickly stepped back inside and bolted the door, without saying a word or hearing a sound from them. He then explained to investigators that they wanted him to "work against my own people" and expressed his great fear that our world was in great danger, without knowing from where the danger would come.

Event 31770 (7F25C01A)

Locations: Cloverdale, Western Australia; Perth Airport; Kalamunda
Description: 6:35 p.m. A 13-year-old boy in Cloverdale, Western Australia, notices a moving light to the south and about 10° above the horizon. He calls his mother, who sees a steady red light on top of a more diffuse blue-white light darting haphazardly in a zigzag pattern but in general moving to the north until it disappears behind their house. The witnesses shift their position and can still see the light hovering in the northwest. The light is now seen as circular with hazy edges and about half the diameter of the full moon. At about 7:00 p.m. it moves at high speed to the north. The mother calls the radar station at Kalamunda, which simultaneously gets a request from Perth Airport to check out an unidentified echo on their meteorological radar. The Kalamunda operator sees a large echo some 9 miles away, which reappears for short durations on 5 further occasions and is last seen at 7:42 p.m.

Date: 6/10/1969
Description: Two people were sleeping outside in their backyard on this summer night in Portland, Oregon when they saw an object approaching them at 1:00 a.m. When first spotted the UFO was at about 500 feet altitude and a ¼ mile away. Soon they could see that it was a single file formation of disc-shaped objects, which dropped down to about 30 feet and turned north. The UFOs were about 30 feet in diameter. As they flew over a nearby field the witnesses could see a bluish green light under each object. They could also see small-lighted windows in the objects and in each window a figure was seen looking out. The last object shot up at a 30-degree angle and vanished within seconds, leaving a luminous short trail of light behind.

At the same time he noticed on the front passenger seat an opaque cube-shaped form that appeared out of nowhere. His next recollection was of again driving his vehicle around a curve and then arriving home, feeling very tired and haggard having no recollection of what occurred during approximately one-hour period of missing time.

Event 31843 (9CFC12A3)

Date: 6/20/1969
Description: On this evening numerous witnesses in and around the Michigan City, Indiana area, bordering Lake Michigan, saw a series of multi-colored, maneuvering lights for a period of at least two hours. Among the witnesses were policemen, Coast Guardsmen, a harbor patrolman, a local newspaper photographer, and an electronics engineer. The first report was at 9:35 p.m. "The objects appeared solid and yet were a source of their own light," US Coast Guardsman Vernon Kleman stated. "They appeared as if from nowhere and could brighten up to a size much larger than when originally seen. They moved at a variety of speeds, some fast, some slow and at times they were stationary for a minute or more...The objects were colored white, green or orange and they changed colors at will." A roughly oval-shaped UFO appeared to have a rotating rim with red, green and yellow lights around its center. Increasing in intensity, the object was in view for about a minute before it "quickly diminished in size and brilliance" and disappeared. "Once a smaller object seemed to enter the water," Kleman continued. "It was submerged for 4-6 seconds. Then it traveled straight upward at an excessive speed."

Event 31844 (B6D11ED8)

Date: 6/20/1969
Description: At 10:25 members of the Michigan City Police Department and Port Authority began seeing the UFOs. Robert G. Howington, harbor policeman, said the objects he saw disappeared to the "northwest with terrific speed." Officer Ted Stantz saw lights that erratically "went back and forth across the sky." Policeman James R. Coughlin and others saw the objects at the same time. "We saw about 9 or 10 such objects over a span of about two hours," Police Sgt. Lance M. Hilberg stated in his report to NICAP. "One seemed to approach very close. The others were quite high and very distant. All objects appeared very bright and solid. The closest one was extremely bright [and] faded away at tremendous speed--much faster than any aircraft..."

Officer Tony C. Ragle said he was cruising in his squad car when he got a call to assist personnel at the Port Authority. Looking through his windshield, he saw the large bright object that "hovered over Lake Michigan for approximately 90 seconds, then went up and darted toward Chicago.” Bill Allen, a photographer-reporter for The Michigan City News-Dispatch, saw an object over the lakefront at 11:30 p.m. It looked like an upside down saucer with a pulsating red light around the bottom. The top was an orange-yellow color. The objects were also viewed over Gary, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois.

Event 31851 (B8D671BD)

Date: 6/26/1969
Location: 4 miles northwest of Ibiúna, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: 2:30 p.m. Sr. Benedito, a justice of the peace, is walking along a trail about 4 miles northwest of Ibiúna, São Paulo, Brazil, when he hears a humming noise like a swarm of bees. He sees an odd object rocking from side to side that suddenly drops into the brush out of sight. Thinking it is an accident, he approaches to within 20 feet and sees the landed object, which then ascends, hovers a moment, and takes off in a gentle climb. He hears the humming sound again and feels a blast of air as it moves away. The Brazilian Air Force investigates the landing, and UFO investigator Hans Bemelmans finds some scorched grass in the thickly tangled brush.

Date: 7/4/1969
Location: COLOMBIA, Anolaima
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:30 PM two children saw a bright object about 300 meters away. They grabbed a flashlight and sent signals. The object approached them until about 60 meters away. (10 meters and they could see an entity inside the object) The children called the rest of the family and the 13 (11) people living on the farm observed the light as it flew away and disappeared behind a hill, while the glow remained visible. The father, Arcesio Bermudez, 54 years old, took the flashlight and went to investigate. When Arceso returned, he was terrified. From a distance of less than 6 meters, he had seen a small being inside the upper part of the object which was transparent, while the rest of the vehicle was dark. He saw the being when he turned on his flashlight. The object became bright and flew away. (...) 48 hours after the observation Arcesio felt very ill, he was cold, his temperature dropped. He was unable to eat and had dark blue spots on his skin. There was blood in his stool. On the 7th day after the incident his family took him to Bogota(...) Arcesio died a little before midnight.(...)

Event 31871 (AE6E7FC6)

Date: 7/4/1969
Locations: Anolaima, Colombia; Bogotá
Description: 8:00 p.m. Two children, Mauricio Gnecco and Enrique Osorio, in Anolaima, Colombia, see a glowing object about 900 feet away. It approaches to within 180 feet and the children run over the hill to tell other children and adults. Thirteen people, including their father, return to see the object. Arcesio Bermúdez takes a flashlight with him and returns in terror after seeing a small person and a craft that lights up and flies away. Within 2 days, Bermúdez loses all appetite, his skin temperature drops, blue spots appear on his skin, and his stools become bloody. Within a week, two Bogotá physicians, unaware of his UFO experience, concludes he has gastroenteritis. Within hours of his exam, Bermúdez dies. His doctor claims he has previously been in good health. His injuries suggest a fatal whole-body ionizing radiation dose of 300–500 rems. Likely only X-rays, gamma rays, or neutrons could travel a distance of 45 feet through the air.

Description: At eight o'clock in the evening Mauricio Gnecco saw a yellowish red light moving in the sky over Anolaima, Colombia. When he signaled to it with a flashlight it approached to within 150 feet of his house. It was a Saturn-shaped UFO, yellow-orange in color, and had two bent, blue and green legs. It appeared to land on a nearby hill. Arcesio Bermudez, an adult, went to the landing site and approached to within 20 feet of the craft. He saw a being inside the object whose upper body looked normal, but whose lower half--from the waist down--resembled a luminous letter "A". The object then "blinked on," rose and disappeared. Two days later Sr. Bermudez became very ill, and within a few days he died of gastroenteritis.

Event 31875 (637C193E)

Date: 7/5/1969
Description: (Translated from French) Arcesio Bermudez's two children spot a shining object about 300 m away from them. When they signal it with their flashlight, the UFO approaches to a distance of about 60 m. The children quickly alert their family. Arcesio Bermudez asks those accompanying him to wait: he will explore alone and with his flashlight the hill behind which the luminous object they are 12 like him to have seen has disappeared. When Arcesio returns, a few minutes later, he seems to be in an intense fear. Pressed with questions, he tells that he saw the object, now dark except for its transparent and luminous top, only 6 m away from him. He then directed the beam of his flashlight towards this illuminated part and glimpsed "a small person". At that precise moment, the UFO lit up and moved away at great speed. (July 5th, 8:30 PM)

Event 31886 (486E70E1)

Date: 7/11/1969
Alternate date: 7/18/1969
Locations: Beaufort, Victoria, Australia; Golf Course
Description: 8:30 p.m. Economics student Tim Oliver is near a golf course on the outskirts of Beaufort, Victoria, Australia, when he sees a red “star” over a hill about a mile away. On closer inspection, it proves to be a hovering UFO. He quickly goes home, and by the time he returns with his mother in the family car, the UFO has been joined by another identical object. They are moving about 20 mph to the southeast, 50 feet in the air, 200 feet apart, and nearly parallel to some high-powered electrical lines. As they drive to right outside the golf course, both UFOs apparently respond to their presence by turning toward them but soon resumed their parallel course when Oliver turns the car engine off. Oliver walks to within 50 feet of the leading object. Each is about 30 feet in diameter, saucer-shaped, with an upper flat-topped cupola and about 24 square windows through which comes the bright red light. They are completely silent. Both he and his mother (who has watched from the golf course fence) see the UFOs disappear to the southeast, still flying parallel to the power lines.

A report from Dr. Cesar Esmerald Barros, from Bogota, indicates: The victim's temperature had dropped to 35°C. The cardiovascular-pulmonary system presented: pericarditis, asphyxia, coughing, painful chest oppression, slow pulse. The digestive system was affected: bloody diarrhea, black vomiting, dry mouth, painful abdomen, particularly on the right side. Mental faculties and nervous system: normal. The skin was dry, pale, cold and dehydrated. One of the doctors who had examined the victim admitted that he would have considered this case differently if he had known what had happened. (23 h 45)

They look out the window to see a reddish-orange ball of light rotating and spinning counterclockwise above the adjacent soybean field. The next morning, they tell Pat’s father, farmer Warren Barr, who then discovers a 24-foot-diameter, nearly bare oval in the soybean field. The plants’ leaves are severely dehydrated, dry, and brittle. This case was investigated by several groups at the time; localized intense heat or radiation is listed as most likely cause.

Description: Early morning. Edgar Paquette and Mrs. Leo Edwards are driving near Petawawa, Ontario, when they see a bright star that lights up the Ottawa River next to them. Convinced the light is following them, Paquette turns off the headlights, which makes the object appear to hesitate. But he gets out of the car, causing the interior light to go on, and the object descends to within 60 feet of the ground. When he starts signaling it with a flashlight, it comes even closer, and Paquette sees that it is 8 feet in diameter with two legs beneath it. Both of them panic and drive home, dragging their teenage children out of bed to look at the light. Ontario police officers Jack McKay and Grant Chaplin follow the light for 38 minutes as it travels at a high altitude.

Date: Mid 7/1969
Location: Manotick, Ontario
Description: Bernard O’Brien is cutting grass in a field with his tractor near Manotick, Ontario, when a small cloud of smoke rises from the ground as he passes over a particular spot. He notifies the field’s owner, John Fox, who comes out for a look. Fox finds three near-perfect circles in the field, two together and the third nearly 150 feet away. Each of them are rings of affected grass 15–20 feet in diameter and about a foot wide. Grass is flattened inside the circle, but the rings themselves are dark and contain a crystalline substance. Peter Millman of the National Research Council claims that the circles are caused by the fairy ring mushroom (Marasmius oreades) because an analysis of the crystalline substance shows no evidence of mineral content or radioactivity.

Event 31912 (3260A870)

Date: 7/20/1969
Description: (Translated from French) Before the first moon landing, the crew of Apollo 11 observe a large flying object heading in the same direction as the capsule. Seen through a small telescope, it looks like a hollow, dented cylinder at times, but when the telescope is focused properly, a distinct "L" shape is seen, like an open suitcase, according to Neil Armstrong. The crew thinks it is the SIV-B launch rocket, now detached, but the ground base announces that the rocket is 10000 km away. One of the investigators suggests that the object might have been a piece of insulation material. Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin gently land the Eagle module in the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon while Michael Collins remains in low orbit (112 km) aboard Columbia, filming both the visible and hidden sides of our natural satellite. 6 hours later, he descends the ladder, soon joined by Edwin Aldrin. He spends 2 and a half hours on the lunar surface. (July 20/21)

Date: 7/20/1969
Description: On this night John Fairfax, a trans-Atlantic sailor sailing alone, saw two star-like objects, ten times brighter than Venus. Both rose in the sky, then separated, one flying off at a low altitude, the other climbing higher in the sky; both vanished suddenly. On the same night a discovery was made of five unmanned ships west of the Azores. Two of the ships had capsized but the other three were totally undamaged despite the disappearance of all passengers and crew.

Event 31914 (784E0CAD)

Date: 7/21/1969
Location: SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) Armstrong and Aldrin, after walking on the Moon, returning to the Lem to rejoin Apollo 11, would have exchanged surprising remarks picked up by North American amateur radios and censored by NASA which, for this purpose, often retransmitted with a difference of 5 seconds the words of the cosmonauts (according to journalist Sam Pepper in the Canadian newspaper National Bulletin of September 29, 1969). (...) On their return Aldrin and Collins confirmed that on their way to the Moon they saw a huge cylindrical craft orbiting between their capsule and the lunar surface and Collins declared himself "shocked by the traces on the Moon." (Jean-Francis CROLARD: "The Enigma of E.T." - ed. Guy TREDANIEL 1995, p. 36, 37) Apollo 11, July 1969 (Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin) It is supposed that two UFOs were hovering at the moment when Armstrong was about to descend the ladder of the LEM placed in the Sea of Tranquility. The magazine "Modern People" says that Aldrin took some photos, which they published in their June 1975 issue. They would have obtained these photos from a Japanese source. (..) The halos seen around the astronauts is due only to a reflection on their spacesuits. (...) Timothy Good writes that HAM radio amateurs would have received VHF signals from the conversation, filtered by NASA: ("They are here and they are watching us") Timothy Good uses an excerpt from "SAGA UFO SPECIAL #3" as the source of his assertion. But the technical debriefing of Apollo 11 speaks of an object (debris?) very close to the Moon. Collins also said he felt a shock, but thought he might have imagined it. Armstrong also said that the distance was not evaluable, and therefore the size of the observed thing, either. They observed it with the telescope and found it more or less in the shape of an L: like an open suitcase. Or like two rings connected, difficult to specify, because the vision was very bad. (...) In his book "Carrying The Fire" astronaut Michael Collins makes no mention of this incident.

Event 31954 (0C71DC6B)

Date: 8/11/1969
Description: Jean Migueres was driving an ambulance at around 6:00 a.m. from Perpignan to Rouen, France when he heard a voice in his head say: “Do not be afraid, nothing bad will happen to you, you will feel nothing.” Twenty minutes later he observed a nearly spherical cloud moving toward him. It then took the form of a cloudy nucleus surrounded by an incandescent white ring having at its base a dull black metallic platform, shaped like a domed disc, about 65 feet in diameter. At the same time, a “DS” car appeared, moving directly toward the ambulance. Migueres was unable to avoid it, and a head on collision took place 30 kilometers from Rouen. He estimated that the ambulance was speeding at 100 kph at the time. After the crash, a being “materialized” on the seat beside Migueres, and addressed him telepathically in French. “Be assured, you are only apparently injured…you will feel no physical pain…I am going to “regenerate” you by a procedure that is not yet known on your planet.” He then took from a pouch on his belt a disc about 1 inch in diameter, of an incandescent white luminosity, and applied it to the nape of Miguere’s neck. Migueres felt a prickling sensation all along his spinal column. The being said:”This accident was necessary for you; we will come back to see you.” Then he disappeared. Migueres had multiple injuries and broken bones but reported feeling no pain, then or later. He underwent several lengthy operations and was twice pronounced “clinically dead.” After an internal hemorrhage with bursting of the gall bladder, he received a telepathic message to “leave the hospital immediately,” which he obeyed, being transported to a hospital at Montpellier, near his home, where he was again pronounced “dead.” Nevertheless he survived. After three weeks in the Montpellier hospital he received a message: “You have succeeded in your mission thanks to our help…you can now go home, we will continue to protect you.”

He went home, but for three years his broken bones remained unhealed. “Then one day, all the bones re-knitted in record time,” and he was able to walk again, without even a limp. Migueres says that since his accident he has had the gift of healing. He remains in contact with the “extraterrestrials,” who have given him a “code which permits him to free the corresponding wavelength of his brain” to establish contact with them. The “extraterrestrial” seen at the time of the accident was of medium height, or less, with a very swarthy skin and a big head with a very high and wide forehead, eyes far apart, eyebrows “like scars,” and brown hair cut short. He was wearing a coverall or a pants and shirt combination resembling a military uniform, with no hat or helmet.

Description: Luis Renato Matos, a schoolteacher, was driving his sister in law and her two children from Ararauma to Campos, Brazil. At 2:50 a.m. near Macae, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil he saw a blue light which, when seen again some 200 meters ahead, now appeared as a bright blue inverted plate about 20 meters in diameter. It floated at an inclined angle 3 to 4 meters above the ground. His passengers were all sleeping at the time. As he came around a bend in the road, Sr. Renato saw five or six small human like figures less than a meter tall, all scurrying rapidly about. Each one carried an illuminated pear-shaped implement, held by a small rod; these glowed like red-hot irons. Renato sped up the car and just after he passed through Macae his headlights failed and the motor quit. He sat there for a long while not knowing what to do until, finally, he was again able to start the car and proceed.

Event 31964 (772B391E)

Date: 8/22/1969
Description: After Mrs. Joyce Vellacca and her husband reported seeing a multicolored UFO maneuvering over South Akron, Ohio she decided to lie down on the sofa for a short nap. She had scarcely stretched out when a big gust of wind swept through a window and blew the curtains out. Mrs. Vellacca got up to close the window and became frozen in place, literally unable to move. Furthermore, standing on the other side of the window was a woman staring back at her. The woman was well proportioned with beautiful long dark chestnut hair. But the woman had no discernible features where her face would be. Oddly, when Mrs. Vellacca recovered from her frozen immobility, the visitor had vanished. She rushed outside and turned on all the floodlights to illuminate the area, but could see nothing unusual. Then there came a high-pitched whine similar to that of a motorcycle, except that when a motorcycle reaches its highest velocity there is a loud roar, and none was heard. Instead, the noise gained in shrill frequency until it was no longer heard. The dogs in the neighborhood were raising a great rumpus.

Event 31971 (5957C74D)

Date: 8/27/1969
Description: At 10:10 p.m. eleven people were watching for UFOs on Cradle Hill in Warminster, England when they saw something like a "burning bush" on the ground about 600 yards away, in a place called "Kidnappers Hole." Christopher Trubridge and Robert Coates ran towards it. The light went out, but when they got near the spot Christopher saw a figure about seven feet tall in the moonlight, about 100 feet away. It was dressed in a tight-fitting shiny black suit, with a gold sash or "bandoleer" over one shoulder. It also had long, dark golden hair that fell to its shoulders and had bright eyes. The eye color was impossible to determine in the moonlight, but it had a “rather feminine” set of features and a not unattractive face. She was motionless, with one arm upraised. The witnesses could not approach any closer than about 30 yards, overcome by fear. Fear mixed with another impossible to describe emotional response caused both men be beat a hasty retreat.

Event 31989 (C2098E0E)

Date: 9/4/1969
Location: NEW ZEALAND, radar-optical
Description: (Translated from French) The observation began shortly before 7:30 PM. Moonless night, visibility 20 km. Capt. Cullum and First Officer Faircloth had just taken off for a routine flight on a Bristol-cargo of the Straits Air Freight Express, from Wellington to Blenheim. Suddenly the control tower calls: the airport radar has an unknown object located 6.4 km in front of the Bristol, which is flying at the time towards the north, then turns towards the west facing the coast, then towards the southwest towards Blenheim. It is at this moment that Faircloth locates a fluorescent, blue, bright, pulsating light, on the right rear of the Bristol at about 3.2 km. The radar is informed. The UFO flies very slowly, from 92 to 111 km/h. Its light pulses every two or three seconds and is as bright as a first magnitude star. It is heading south. During the return flight, 90 minutes later, Faircloth spots the same object resembling a group of lights, about 24 km off the coast of South Island, near the Cape Campbell lighthouse. The Wellington radar confirms the observation.

Description: A farmer, Bert O’Neil, discovers a circular patch of dead and silvery-white manuka plants (Leptospermum scoparium, tea tree) in the midst of otherwise green and lush growth on a remote section of his farm near Ngatea, New Zealand. Near the center of the circle, he finds three ground indentations, positioned so as to form the inside points of a triangle. Off to one side is the taller stand of tea tree, also bleached and dead. He remembers seeing this from afar three weeks earlier, arousing his curiosity. The dead scrubweed within the circle is still standing and undisturbed. It looks as if some large object has come down from the sky and landed on three long stilts. At first, O’Neil only discusses his find within the family, but the news quickly leaks to the local radio and press.

Date: 9/22/1969
Location: CANADA, Montreal region
Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. L. and her son were walking on a small road near a wood, and were worried because their dog had disappeared during the walk. Suddenly, near the wood, about 150 m away, they saw an object on the ground, with three men outside, who were bent over, and two inside the craft, with their backs to them. The men were tall, about 2.30 m, and thin, wearing suits. The craft was oval and about 5 m high. The witnesses remained motionless observing for 10 minutes, then turned around to go and get the husband. When they returned to the spot with him, everything had disappeared. (September 22, 1969)

Event 32017 (24198812)

Date: 9/22/1969
Description: On this evening a woman was walking with her son along a footpath in a wooded area in Montreal, Quebec when they noticed a bright circular object on the ground at the edge of the woods. There were three men standing outside of the object and two men inside. The men were described as very tall, over seven-foot tall, thin, and wearing tight-fitting one-piece garments. The witness left to get other witnesses but upon returning the object and the humanoids were already gone. A circular flattened area of grass was found at the site. That same evening in Saratoga, New York at 7 p.m. a large circle of white light was seen by three witnesses. It was flashing red, green and orange lights. It made no sound as it moved very slowly off at a low altitude.

Event 32018 (DAE548EE)

Date: 9/24/1969
Location: BELGIUM, Zellik (Brabant)
Description: (Translated from French) The witness was walking his dog around 8 pm. Suddenly a craft appeared in the sky: it came from the north and moved in a sparkle without emitting any sound. It stopped, its shape was triangular. "This extraordinary delta wing had a murky luminosity, a mix of white and blue around the tail, a bit like the glows of neon lights in the city at night. The hull was a mix of dark red and dark yellow. Suddenly a second craft appeared and placed itself to the left of the first one, still motionless. It had an identical structure, but the fuselage was illuminated. This second object stayed motionless for a few minutes before disappearing all at once. An astonishing disappearance. The object was no longer detectable. The craft that had appeared first was still there, motionless, with its emissions of light and sparks. It was facing me slightly inclined. How long did I stay there? I don't know, five minutes? It was my dog pulling on the leash that made me realize I had my feet on the ground." (September 24, 1969)

Event 32042 (6AD727C5)

Date: 10/3/1969
Locations: Rennie, Manitoba; Highway 44
Description: After 8:00 p.m. RCMP Constable S. B. Barrie and his wife Vivian are driving 5 miles west of Rennie, Manitoba, on a poor highway in bad weather. He stops to clean mud off the headlights and noticees a light to the east hanging just off Highway 44 and over the trees. He continues driving and he sees the light as a light-pink inverted saucer moving with a jerky motion. Now only 500 feet away, it seems to be 20 feet in diameter with an odd white tail that snakes toward the ground. Suddenly the car’s windshield wipers stop working, the headlights go out, and the engine stalls. Barrie gets out of the car and the object zooms silently to the southwest and is lost to sight. He senses the air has a strange, heavy odor, but he is able to get the car started again.

The Smithsonian concludes it is caused by ballooning spiders, even though only one spider specimen is found. When a sample is tested by Wayne E. Black of the St. Louis County Health Department, he finds the samples test negative for protein, the basic composition of spider web.

Event 32049 (AAAAF62B)

Date: 10/9/1969
Location: BELGIUM, Grâce-Hollogne
Description: (Translated from French) Jacques Yerna, 16 years old, on horseback, saw at around 7:45 PM, 4 blinking lights arranged in a square, in a straight line, slowly, without any noise, hovering between 50 and 100 meters in altitude. White flashes of light at irregular intervals, suggesting a round shape. Arriving at a small grove of birches of 100 x 30 meters slightly elevated, the horse shivered and pricked up its ears. Suddenly, from the corner of the wood, from a field of beets, an electric flash of the same type as those emitted by the craft. He turned in that direction and saw, vertically above the trees, at an elevation of 10°, a black round shape with a small dome, motionless, with 4 red blinking lights arranged in a square. This second object seemed to be of smaller dimensions than the first and was about 6 to 7 meters long and 2 to 3 meters high. Suddenly, the second object moved very quickly and placed itself at 60 or 70 meters behind the first: the 8 red blinking lights then flew together in a straight trajectory. Total duration of the observation 15 minutes. At 100 meters beyond the witness encountered a car stopped with all lights off and a man standing about thirty meters away in a field looking south. At this moment the horse suddenly became very afraid, as did the witness, and so he returned directly to the stable.

Location: FRANCE, Wambez (Oise)
Description: (Translated from French) At 6:15, in the place called "Les Longues Raies", the road worker Amédée Luquet saw, in the morning fog, 150 m away in a meadow a bright white light partially hidden by a hedge. A lighthouse rises and finally a dark mass (black ovoid block 12 m long or the size of a 4CV according to one or the other of the two investigators) dotted with red lights (6 to 10 for the investigator M. Lesbros) (5 to 6 for MM. Barthel and Brucker) Everything is strongly lit. The craft made a loop that brought it almost above Mr. Luquet at an estimated height of 50 meters. It made a complete loop and disappeared in the direction of Buicourt. At the closest, the witness heard a noise similar to that made by the wind in the foliage and a slight whistle. The cows in the meadow had no reaction.

Event 32066 (8C10F872)

Date: 10/16/1969
Description: On October 8, 1969, or eight days earlier, ten-year-old Steven with another youngster had sighted a UFO at the base of a cloud in Waterville, Iowa and took a snap shot. The UFO apparently landed at the time, leaving traces. On the 16th at around 5 p.m., Steve watched a spherical UFO, ten feet wide and 6-7 feet high, land not 60 feet away from him. His attention was caught by the humming sound it emitted as a ramp came smoothly out of the craft. A little man, 3 to 4 feet tall, with long arms and hands with only two digits, emerged with a bow-legged gait. He wore a disproportionately large yellow-brown helmet, which he took off to wipe his brow. The boy could see that he was bald and had a pale green complexion. He had large eyes set close together, a slit like mouth and a double slit where the nose would be. He was dressed in a white spacesuit. The being looked directly at Steven, then put his helmet back on and re-entered the UFO.

Event 32071 (8EECAED9)

Date: 10/24/1969
Locations: South Pacific Ocean; Valparaiso, Chile
Description: 12:43 a.m. A Chilean Navy destroyer is moving north at 20 knots in the South Pacific Ocean about 350 miles south of Valparaiso, Chile. The radar officer reports a target rapidly approaching the ship, apparently moving 213 miles in one minute, which would indicate a speed of 12,780 mph. At 12:47 a.m., the target is only 12 miles away, and it suddenly breaks into six targets. The officer in charge and five other personnel can now see one massive and five smaller lighted objects approaching the ship. The large UFO looks like a big box with semicircles on the side, and it is bigger than the ship, which is 360 feet long. The five smaller objects are egg- shaped, bluish, and no more than 8 feet long and 5–6 feet wide. At about 6,000 feet from the ship, the smaller objects move away from the larger one, three to portside and two to starboard, and begin flying in ellipses between the ship and the large object. At 900 feet away, the officers can hear the object make a humming noise. The ship’s power and instruments go dead as the large object passes overhead. Bright red lights under the UFO seem to be moving back and forth inside the craft, visible through a half-circle on the bottom. “Corn cobs” with green or turquoise pulsating lights are on the side. When the UFO is 600 feet away, the power comes back on. The smaller objects, never coming closer than 1,500–3,000 feet, fly around the ship and join up with the large object on the other side. All 6 objects vanish about 2 miles away. At least 8 minutes have passed, with three radar technicians tracking the UFOs. The ship’s commander orders everyone to keep silent about what they have seen. The sighting is deleted from the ship’s log. The six witnesses are debriefed for two days in Valparaiso by two Chilean Navy officers and four Americans who are allegedly naval attachés with the US Embassy.

Event 32072 (5EC558DD)

Date: 10/24/1969
End date: 10/27/1969
Locations: Ankara, Turkey; Mürted Air Base
Description: The Turkish Air Force is inundated with reports of UFOs over Ankara, Turkey. Jet fighters are scrambled from Mürted Air Base [now closed] northwest of the city and close to within 7.5 miles, but the objects always pull away and climb higher. Even the base commander, Ercüment Gökaydin, flies with the interceptors to 35,000 feet, but the UFO is at a height of 50,000 feet. It is a silvery, oval disc. The jets take gun-camera film, which has never been released. One pilot says the object has three round portholes.

Event 32073 (E60A7BD9)

Date: 10/24/1969
Description: A Chilean informant claims a Chilean Navy destroyer witnessed six objects that approached the ship, one larger than the destroyer. The objects were cube and egg-shaped, and electromagnetic interference was reported. The next morning, the ship arrived in Valparaiso, Chile, four U.S. naval attaches spoke with the Chilean officers on duty the night before, were told they didn’t see anything and interrogated for two days until they signed NDAs. Source claims they were threatened if they ever spoke about it.

Note: Publisher of this account, to whom the Chilean source spoke to, was an Australian ufologist of reasonable quality who had vetted AU govt. sources properly previously.

Event 32088 (91C71332)

Date: 10/30/1969
Location: Redding, California
Description: 10:00 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. Chapin are driving at their mine site near Redding, California, when they see a rattlesnake in the road. As they get out to go to the mine and kill the snake, they find the area oddly hot. They notice a disturbance in the brush some 60 feet away in a flattened area of mine tailings. An egg-shaped object rises noiselessly a few feet off the ground and takes off down the canyon, swaying but not striking small trees. Soon it zooms upward at a sharp angle and is out of sight in seconds. They find a shallow, oval, depressed spot less than 2 inches deep and 10 feet across in the mine tailings. A conical pile of unusual-looking sand is also discovered, and two days later they find a metallic glob about the size of a fist nearby. They have the material analyzed in 1977. Scattered about in the unusual sand pile are irregular bits of pale-green glass-like material made of nearly pure silicon. The metal glob is completely black on the outside and 77% copper in the interior, combined with tin and traces of silver, chromium, and other metals. Both are considered foreign to the geology of the mine site.

Event 32089 (DFBE9002)

Date: 10/30/1969
Description: At around 10 a.m. a man and a woman, Clinton and Chapin, saw an egg-shaped flying object with a flat bottom, the size of VW Beetle, in a mountainous area of Redding, California. It was seen as it landed in a steep, wooded canyon. The minimum distance to the object was only 60 feet. It took off fast, causing the trees to sway, and zoomed up into the sky. Ground marks were found at the landing site: there was an 10 foot oval-shaped depression, 1-2 inches deep.

Event 32102 (6AB09599)

Date: 11/6/1969
Location: BRAZIL, Pirasununga
Description: (Translated from French) Very many witnesses, including military personnel, observed the landing of a 6m diameter disc. On top, a lid lifted and two beings of about 1m10 emerged, while two others remained inside in a kind of glass cabin. Their complexion was greenish, they wore aluminum clothing and a helmet from which a rubber tube emerged. Through this tube, rough sounds were heard. They seemed to show a globe to the witnesses and something that fell. As the closest spectator smoked, they seemed intrigued and attracted the packet with their hand like a magnet. Men arrived shouting. The two beings then retreated without looking back and floated in the air to enter the craft. When the last one was half introduced, he directed a kind of blowpipe at the closest witness and a blue-red ray reached the young man's legs, paralyzing him. Then the craft took off. The two little beings had yellow eyes without pupils or whites, the end of their nose was flattened and their teeth interlocked with each other. Crushed vegetation and visible furrows on the landing area.

We flashed to it and it flashed back. We clapped the light on it and it began to come closer. We saw a black man about eight feet tall and I saw something like a wolf, but it was not a wolf. It had a strange body, two and a half feet long. It had three fingers and a face.”

Event 32107 (C0092EFC)

Date: 11/14/1969
Location: IN SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) Apollo XII: two very bright objects were seen at about 200,000 km from the Earth. (Philippe SCHNEYDER: "Ovni, premier bilan" - éd. du Rocher 1983, p. 233) During the Apollo 12 flight, an unidentified object followed it for 3 orbits around the Moon and, three hours before landing, Conrad warned Houston "that between the capsule and India they are flying over, there is an immobile bright light, as big as Venus, at least". (...) (Jean-Francis CROLARD: "L'énigme des E.T." - éd. Guy TREDANIEL 1995, p. 37) Astronauts Pete Conrad, Alan Bean and Dick Gordon say that a UFO accompanied them up to 212,000 kilometers from the Moon, preceding them all the way. (J. Allen HYNEK and Jacques VALLEE: "Aux limites de la réalité" - éd. Albin Michel 1978, p 84) Apollo 12, November 14, 1969 (Conrad, Gordon, Bean) On the first day of the trip, the astronauts informed the Ground Control that two flashing lights were seen above the capsule. After rejecting the possibility that they were spinning debris from the Apollo booster, the ground suggested that they might be protection panels dropped. "It could be," replied one of the astronauts, "but one of those lights just passed here at a dizzying speed". It is however reasonable to think that they were indeed debris from one or the other satellite, not always American, orbiting on a different orbit. (1989 - listing and research by Harvey S. Stewart) Ground observatories observed the capsule accompanied by two bright UFOs near the Moon. Then, on approach to Earth before landing, a large UFO with red lights was observed.

Event 32109 (C60D90A4)

Date: 11/15/1969
Location: FRANCE, Nancy
Description: (Translated from French) At around 5 pm, the witness was waiting at her window to feed the pigeons she usually feeds every day. Coming from her right, in front, at the level of the roofs, behind a chimney she saw a transparent dome with two heads visible. At first she had no reaction, went back to the kitchen and suddenly, surprised, she returned to the window. From behind the chimney, the object slowly emerged from its hiding place: a curved metal disc in grey, with a transparent dome from which only the heads of the two occupants were visible. Numerous lights like car headlights composed the underside of the craft. "But it's a saucer," she said out loud. And she heard, as if whispered from the outside to her ear: "Yes, it's a saucer, don't be afraid, you have to look." The two beings looked at each other, turned their heads towards the witness with a smile, then their heads disappeared inside the craft. In front of a tall chimney, on its trajectory, the object performed a loop. At the same time, two other UFOs, entirely identical to the first, with two humanoid figures visible, skimmed the roofs at 70 m from her. The first object joined the two others and the formation moved away towards the Rue d'Amerval (NO). The witness then wanted to warn her neighbors, but when she turned around she saw herself in the mirror and was stunned to see that her face and hands were swollen and that a bump, as big as a pigeon egg, adorned her forehead. (In 1978 a red scar still persisted). The swelling and the bump disappeared half an hour after the observation.

Event 32114 (D099F549)

Date: 11/15/1969
Description: The witness was at his window in Nancy, France at 5 p.m. awaiting the arrival of some pigeons that he customarily fed. He spotted a transparent cupola with two heads visible inside that was behind a nearby chimney. He initially had no reaction, but when he turned back to look out the window a short time later he saw the UFO fly slowly from behind the chimney. It was a gray metallic disc with a transparent dome on top. It had many lights resembling car headlights visible around its circumference. He exclaimed, “But it’s a saucer!” and heard a voice whisper outside his ear: “Yes, it is a saucer, do not be afraid, it was necessary that you see it.”

The two beings inside the dome then looked at themselves, and then turned their heads towards the witness while smiling at him. Their heads then disappeared from inside the objec, and at that same moment two other UFOs, identical to the first, also with visible figures inside transparent domes fly over the roofs about 70 meters above him. The first object joined the other two and all three flew towards the north. The witness tried to notify his neighbors but found himself in a kind of stupor with his face and hands swollen and a red bump on his forehead. A red scar on his forehead was still visible when last examined by investigators in 1978.

Event 32165 (2F2C7A09)

Date: Winter 1969
Location: FRANCE, Bourg-Lastic/Laqueuille
Description: (Translated from French) At 8:30 PM it was pitch black and raining. Mr. Carlet saw in the middle of the road an immense white mushroom-like object, 3 m tall, that was moving. He noticed that the thing was moving at 50 cm from the ground. It seemed luminous and ghostly, its contours were sharp and its base undulated like it was striped. The thing was moving at the same speed as the motorist and he considered overtaking it, but there wasn't enough room. He then flashed his headlights to force the mysterious intruder, which was about 80 m away in headlight range but 20 m away in dipped beam range, to give way. He then played around with the lights, convinced of the unreality of what he was seeing. Suddenly he accelerated and drove through his "mirage" in order to play a trick on this hallucination!

Alas! He actually drove into the thing. There was a metallic sound, the object passed over the hood, veered to the right, brushed against the windshield. The witness then braked and, turning his head, saw the thing outside the range of his headlights crossing the ditch and disappearing behind a wall. He returned home in the grip of a terrible headache. The next day he looked for the point of impact on his car: the hood was intact. (1969, Winter)

Date: 12/26/1969
End date: 12/27/1969
Locations: Boston, Massachusetts; NASA Manned Spacecraft Center; MIT; University Corporation for Atmospheric Research; Cornell; Lakenheath-Bentwaters
Description: The American Academy for the Advancement of Science holds a special two-day segment on “Unidentified Flying Objects” at its annual meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, at the Sheraton Hotel. The program is arranged by Thornton Page (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center), Philip Morrison (MIT), Walter Orr Roberts (University Corporation for Atmospheric Research), and Carl Sagan (Cornell). Rising to the occasion, James E. McDonald presents an excellent critique of the Air Force and Colorado project investigations as well as an in- depth examination of the RB-47 and Lakenheath-Bentwaters cases. Donald Menzel attempts to show that all UFO sightings can be explained, even though some of his “explanations” are complex. Morrison discusses the nature of hard evidence and concludes that reliable UFO reports would stand up both in a court of law and in the rigors of science. Cornell University Press publishes the proceedings, UFOs—A Scientific Debate, in 1972.

Event 32169 (2EE2D57A)

Date: 12/27/1969
Description: In the early hours after midnight Miss Mary Smith and her mother were in their parked car near Atlanta, Georgia talking. They were parked along the side of the road in the suburbs, and it was about two a.m. when her mother first noticed a black, saucer-shaped flying object with a flat bottom hovering some distance away. The bottom opened slowly and from it descended a “plastic bubble” with a glowing light inside. It drifted downward, and then separated into three glowing, arrow-shaped objects that came to rest in a parking lot across the street. Shortly afterwards they saw three dark humanoid forms at the spot. They looked like men with wide shoulders and narrow hips, but with arms shorter than normal. One was much larger than the others. All three were “sweeping furiously” with tools like lawn rakes over a spot about nine feet in diameter. What they swept up was put into a basket-shaped container in the center. At one point the larger figure chased after something to the edge of the street and caught it in his hand, picking it up and running back to put it in the basket. When two teenaged boys drove up in a car and saw the beings they drove into the parking lot. The figures then abruptly vanished.

Suddenly, his car engine, headlights, and radio fails, and he crawls to a halt in front of a star-like glow with a prismatic, multi-colored aura 100 feet ahead. Inside the glow is a domed object. A loud humming noise commences and the object shoots into the sky. The car comes back to life, but Patric inexplicably reaches Windsor one hour late.
