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.)

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)

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,)

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)

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,)

Le Poer Trench, 8th Earl of Clancarty, publishes The Sky People, in

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description: (Translated from French) "As we were

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."

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.

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.

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...

photo of an unidentified satellite, termed 1960 Alpha [however, the
designation of 1960 Alpha 1 is reserved for the Pioneer 5 space probe,
which isn’t launched until March 11], “which was expected to pass the
Stockholm latitude in a southerly direction about 0525 hours.” He sees
two objects that come from the north and move in a southeasterly
direction. 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.

Regime.” The order gives the agency authorization to create an
organization of exiled Cubans to manage opposition programs, begin a
propaganda offensive to draw support for the movement, create an
intelligence gathering network inside Cuba, and develop a paramilitary
force to be introduced into Cuba to organize, train, and lead resistance
groups against the Castro regime. Its budget is $4.4 million. Under the
Cuban Project and under the direction of CIA Directorate for Plans Richard
M. Bissell, MKUltra’s Sidney
Gottlieb proposes spraying Fidel Castro’s
television studio with LSD and saturating his shoes with thallium to
make his beard fall out. Gottlieb also hatches schemes to assassinate
Castro, including the use of a poisoned cigar, a poisoned wetsuit, an
exploding conch shell, and a poisonous fountain pen.

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.

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.

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.”

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)

this country has anything even approaching such high speeds and
maneuvers.” Speaking as a NICAP Board Member, Admiral Hillenkoetter said

pilot Francis
Gary Powers, takes
off from Peshawar, Pakistan, and performs photographic aerial
reconnaissance over Baikonur, Kazakhstan, and Chelyabinsk, Russia.
Powers has orders to continue across Siberia to get a look at the new
Plesetsk Cosmodrome, but at 8:53 a.m. local time he is hit by an S-75
Dvina (SA-2 Guideline) surface-to-air missile fired by a defense
battalion near Kyshtym, Russia. The U-2 crashes near Sverdlovsk [now
Yekaterinburg]. The Soviet Air Defense Forces have anticipated the
flight and give orders to “attack the violator.” Powers parachutes
safely and is captured. This is the first time in five years of
overflights that the US is caught.

Sverdlovsk Region. Departing from Pakistan to reach Norway by flying
over the Urals, aboard this astonishing apparatus capable of covering
more than 5000 km at 27000 meters of altitude, he was to take detailed
pictures of certain regions or installations of interest to the American
secret services. The photographic device equipped on the U-2 allowed to
discover details of only 1 meter. (...) Due to its vulnerability, the
U-2 spy plane program was interrupted. (May 5th, 1960)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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%

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

at Clan Lake, Northwest Territories, on a prospecting expedition and is
waiting for his partner. 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.

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.

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

Description: 4:30 p.m. Argentine Air Force Capt. Hugo
F. Niotti is driving north near Villa General Belgrano, Córdoba,
Argentina, when he notices a dark object hovering to the right of the
road. He stops his car, grabs his camera, and takes a photo of the
object, which is moving slowly over a field. As he is winding the film
to take another shot, the object accelerates and disappears into the
clouds. The photo shows a conical object low above the ground, as well
as a horse whose attention is attracted to the object. Analysis shows
that the object is about 23 feet high, 20 feet in diameter, and 56 feet
above the ground.

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.

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.

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.

afternoon. Mr. Robert Hawks was operating a tractor with a backhoe when
his tractor stalled. Looking up he saw a disc-shaped object hovering in
the sky above the canyon, making a humming noise, and he watched for the
next 15 minutes, unable to re-start his tractor, while some apparent
repair activity was performed on the hovering craft. A panel on the
craft was rotated inside and replaced. Ater the repair was completed,
the craft departed by shooting straight up in the sky. Mr. Hawks could
then restart his tractor.

at least two other independent witnesses to the UFO that night.

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.”

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.

Location: Lorain, Ohio
Description: 2:50 a.m. A dispatcher in Lorain, Ohio, is
taking a coffee break when he sees a light that he thinks is the Echo 1
satellite. As he watches it, knowing it is not the right time for Echo
1, he sees four objects traveling in a perfectly spaced line of flight.
It makes a surprising right turn, after which the objects move on their
way, apparently at a great height.

wife are looking at a rainbow outside their rectory in Cressy, Tasmania,
when they see a gray, cigar-shaped object emerge from a raincloud. It
has 4 or 5 vertical, dark bands around its circumference and an aerial
array that projects from the top. Browning estimates it to be 100 feet
long and about 4 miles distant. It moves north at about 60–70 mph at
about 400 feet altitude. After one minute, it stops and is joined by 5–6
smaller objects that emerge from a cloud. After another minute, all the
UFOs abruptly reverse back into the rain squall at the same speed.

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.

Faure was returning home when suddenly he was dazzled by a rectangular
light at 3 or 4 meters altitude. In the upper part two humanoid
silhouettes that seemed to be wearing a helmet of 40 to 50 cm in
diameter. The light suddenly went out. When he arrived home the witness
was in a state of shock and remained in a state of agitation for several
days. At the same time three witnesses from Villemorge, a locality
located downhill from Lavaure, saw a silent craft that crossed the sky
at great speed towards the south-east. (1960, October 20th and

glows. A dome on the top of the object began to turn, the legs
disappeared and the object rose vertically above the trees, without a
sound. Less than 20 seconds later it had crossed the hill and
disappeared to the southwest. The next day the witness went to the spot
and found no trace, but his dog refused to go forward and ran away.
(Jacques VALLEE: "Chronicles of E.T. Appearances - DENOEL 1972 - coll.

J. Tacker on the Today show, hosted by Dave Garroway.
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.

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.

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.

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. (...)

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"

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)

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.

Description: A UFO appears above the iron-ore mine of
Catalina Huanca, owned by the Marcona Mining Company, near Apongo, Peru.
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.

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.

Lumumba is executed by firing squad near Élisabethville [now

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.

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.

Description: 3:20 a.m. Clarence Blackwood and his wife
hear a roaring sound in the sky at their home in Lakewood,
Massachusetts. They look out the bedroom window and see a fiery
cigar-shaped object moving at low altitude to the northeast. It is
bright yellow in the middle with a bright red edge and surrounded by
thin clouds of black smoke. The object rolls back and forth rapidly and
travels slowly to the southwest. It passes directly above their house,
illuminating the bedroom. The lights that they have left on in the
kitchen dim three times and go out for 4– 5 minutes. The object returns
at 3:40 and the kitchen lights repeat their previous actions.

Description: Article in Argosy magazine. AF Col. Tacker
used the strongest language to date in denouncing critics of the UFO
investigation. Their claims were "absolutely erroneous;" "a hoax:"
"sensational theories:" the work of "amateur hobby groups." NICAP's
evidence was "drivel," its claims "ridiculous" and it was making
"senseless accusations." In April 1961, after being associated with the
UFO project for over three years, Col. Tacker was shipped to Europe on
"routine reassignment."

Reynolds watches through binoculars and sees the entire array moving

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.

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. (Spring, late evening)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?]

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

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.

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,

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description: Construction of essential facilities is
completed at Area 51 in Nevada; three surplus Navy hangars are erected
on the base’s north side. The original U-2 hangars are converted to
maintenance and machine shops. Facilities in the main cantonment area
include workshops and buildings for storage and administration, a
commissary, control tower, fire station, and housing. The Navy also
contributes more than 130 surplus Babbitt duplex housing units for
long-term occupancy facilities. Older buildings are repaired, and
additional facilities are constructed as necessary. A reservoir pond
surrounded by trees serves as a recreational area one mile north of the
base. Other recreational facilities included a gymnasium, a movie
theater, and a baseball diamond.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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)

Drake organizes, with J. Peter Pearman, an officer of the Space
Science Board of the NAS,
the first conference on the SETI
project. The 3-day meeting, held at the NRAO,
brings together a dozen scientists who have shown an interest in SETI.
It is there that Drake
proposes his famous equation, which proposes the theoretical calculation
of the number of "communicating" civilizations in our galaxy.

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.

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

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.”

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.

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."

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.

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

Description: Covert operations against Fidel Castro are
officially authorized by President Kennedy after

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.”

gun-camera films obtained during jet interceptor UFO chases are

say so to a UFO researcher colleague. None of the photoanalysis data in
these cases has been released, nor has the existence of these films ever

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.

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.

Description: (Translated from French) A pilot of the
Royal Dutch Air Force experienced an encounter on January 29, 1962.
Crossing an unknown object to the east of Holland, he commanded it to
descend on several radio frequencies. As the UFO gave no response, he
prepared to attack. His F 86, Sabre, was armed with 4 20 mm cannons and
a rocket. Cannons armed, rocket in launch position, he sped forward at
full power. But he did not have time to get close enough to adjust his
aim. The UFO, in one stroke, had put itself out of range.

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.

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.

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

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.

Hill AFB, south of Ogden, Utah
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).

object emitting flashes of green light moving over the roofs of nearby
homes. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Description: On this night Eugenio Siragusa, age 43,
claimed to have met two men of normal height on Mount Mangre on the
island of Sicily in Italy. They were clad in diver's suits, and had
belts emitting an intermittent yellowish-green and blue light. They
delivered to him a message of peace in Italian. The voice he heard had a
metallic tone. A dazzling, 15 meter in diameter saucer-shaped craft was
seen on the ground nearby.

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.

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.

Description: Two years later it was Argentina's turn to
be inundated with UFO reports. In the early morning hours between 4:00
a.m. and dawn there were 11 sightings including seven close encounters
from six provinces in Argentina: Buenos Aires, La Rioja, Neuquen, La
Pampa, Cordoba, and Mendoza. In Mercedes, located in Buenos Aires
province, Argentina an Air Force man named Giashischa and his family
encountered a mist at 4:15 a.m. while driving in their car. In a field
they saw a 20-meter wide luminous mass spinning near the ground. It
stood approximately 3 meters tall.

objects and took some pictures of them. (A. RIBERA/ R. FARRIOLS:
"Preuves de l'existence des S.V." - De Vecchi 1975, p. 46 and photo p.
47) (Scott Carpenter): rumor has it that a UFO was seen and
photographed. 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.

Description: A brilliant white light, approximately 20
times brighter than first magnitude stars, is seen at Hallett Station
[now closed], Cape Hallett, East Antarctica, at 250° (true) azimuth, and
30° elevation. Over 5 minutes it remains stationary and is viewed both
with binoculars and the naked eye. It appears circular. It is a dazzling
gold color and observed between two mountain peaks. The sun at the time
is below the horizon. After 5 minutes it moves in a southerly direction
and is lost to view behind a peak. Project Blue Book concludes it is
Jupiter, even though that planet’s position is only at 5°
elevation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description: (Translated from French) Ricardo Mieres,
17 years old, a student, was riding his motorcycle near Badaja Grande, 5
km from Paranà, when he encountered a creature of very tall stature with
a melon-shaped head, very long almost white hair and "three eyes that
stared fixedly without blinking." 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. (1962, July 26, 27 or 28)

17-year-old motorcyclist saw a weird creature on the side of the road.
His cycle would not steer correctly; instead, it drove right up to the
creature and stopped. The creature was six feet tall, with a head like a
melon and three eyes. 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.

Location: 6 miles southeast of Avalon, Santa Catalina
Island, California
Description: Before dawn. The skipper of a chartered
fishing boat 6 miles southeast of Avalon, Santa Catalina Island,
California, sees several stationary lights low in the water dead ahead.
Through binoculars he sees a squat, lighted structure in which several
men are working, apparently the stern of a submarine with no markings
and dacks almost awash. 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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

Description: (Translated from French) Another
disappearance without return: that of a farmer. A nine-year-old child
was the only witness: his father claimed he had been taken away in front
of his eyes in terrifying conditions: "When leaving our house around
seven o'clock in the morning," he told the police, "I discovered two
balls of about 40 cm in diameter, placed on the ground in front of the
door. 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.

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. (August 24,

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.

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.

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.

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." (August

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.

Description: California contactee Gloria Lee takes
channeled blueprints for a spaceship to Washington, D.C., to show to
government officials. She gets nowhere, but while in town she gets
messages from her space contact J.W. saying that the space people are
upset with human wars and nuclear weapons. J.W. orders her to go on a
fast for peace until he sends a “light elevator” to take her to Jupiter.
Her fast lasts from September 23 to November 28. No one pays attention.
After about 66 days without eating, Lee’s husband, aircraft engineer
William H. Byrd, summons an ambulance to take her to George Washington
University Hospital. She dies there on December 3. Lee continues to
channel post-mortem information through a medium named Nada-Yolanda (Pauline
Sharpe) in the Miami-based Mark-Age MetaCenter.

Description: (Translated from French) A Mr. Leeming
published in "Menenco", a small journal devoted to professional issues,
published in April 1966 in Montreal, a story entitled "Encounter with a
UFO" (note from vog: this story is very similar to another one that
happened in the Scandinavian countries). 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. (...) (1962, September 1

Description: Mr. R. Leeming, an engineer, stopped by a
lake for a picnic while on a business trip around noon. 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.

Description: On this night a rubber plantation worker
in Vila Conceicao, near Barcelos, Amazonas, Brazil saw a round glowing
object emitting sparks come down into a clearing in the plantation.
Three humanoid beings jumped out, attacked another man, who happened to
be a soccer referee, abducted him and took him away. They also stole 17
hens, six pigs, and two cows from the plantation. The UFO shot straight
up into the sky when it took off. Neither the man nor the animals were
ever returned.

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.

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.

Description: 7:00 p.m. President Kennedy addresses
the American public for 18 minutes and announces his plan to implement a
naval blockade of Cuba. US military alert is set at DEFCON 3, and Castro mobilizes
all of Cuba’s military forces. US ambassador to the Soviet Union Foy D.
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.

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.

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. Instead, Khrushchev sends a letter to Kennedy, in
which he offers to work with him to deescalate the conflict and ensure
that they do not “doom the world to the catastrophe of thermonuclear
war.” The CIA reports that the construction of Cuban missile sites is
continuing and accelerating. 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.

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.

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.

Description: Mrs. E. D. Sylvester was driving in
Norwood, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia with her three children
at 7:30 p.m. when an ovoid object with windows surrounded by a luminous
rim landed near the road on three legs. A six foot tall man emerged from
the object and descended some steps to the ground. He was wearing a
uniform, helmet and gas mask. She watched him for 40 minutes, and
reported he seemed to be working on the landing gear. He then put some
plants into a silver colored box and carried them back onboard. The
object made a vertical takeoff when it left.

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.

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.”

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.

Description: (Translated from French) Dialogues between
cosmonaut Belokonev and Earth are intercepted: Attention, attention.
Don't push the tests too far, it could be dangerous... I took the
shots... What a wonder! (...) Everything is black, very black. Yes,
small particles, tiny, 2 or 3 mm. Has Belokonev entered a dense particle
field that would encumber the planet's suburbs? He must try to take
samples as he complains that the commands are not working. I succeeded.
I took one. It's strange, weird, it has no weight... But the drama is
approaching. The batteries are damaged. The instruments don't work
anymore. Oxygen! I beg you, comrades... What, I can't do anything?!
Curse! I can't succeed... It's impossible. I can't, I tell you!
Understand me, understand me... Atrocious, terrible loneliness!

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. Berossus describes
Oannes as having the body of a fish but underneath the figure of a
man.

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

oval-shaped object with a central transparent dome, the size of a car,
surrounded by mist. Three small entities, short in stature but of human
appearance, were seen moving around inside the craft. They wore metallic
suits. The object rose very slowly, then made a slow oblique

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.

Description: In 1962 at 1:00 a.m., just southeast of
Abra Grande, Argentina in the province of Santiago del Estero, two men
driving a tractor-trailer truck loaded with coal watched a lit-up
"railway car" near some railroad tracks that run parallel to the road
project a brilliant beam of light on the road. 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.

Description: A full-scale mockup of the Q-12 drone is
ready at Groom Lake, Nevada, and has already undergone preliminary tests
to measure its stealth quality. However, the CIA is not enthusiastic
about the Q-12, mostly because the agency is overextended at the time
with U-2 missions, getting the A-12 up to speed, and covert operations
in Southeast Asia. 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?))

to see a domed metallic disc 12–15 feet in diameter with portholes
hovering 3 feet above the ground. 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.

Airport [now Ministro Pistarini International Airport] at Ezeiza Partido
in Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina, tower operators Horacio Alora and
Mario Pezzutto are watching an Aereolíneas Argentinas plane that is
about to take off. It is also seen by an approaching DC-8 jet operated
by Panagra, whose captain asks what the object is at the end of the
runway. Alora sees a large, round, glowing object that has evidently
descended when he is watching the airliner. The UFO immediately rises
about 30 feet, hovers, then accelerates on a northeast course.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

from a low cloud, at about a 45° angle. The UFO is about 25 feet in
diameter, and about 9–10 feet high. The lower portion, about 3 feet
high, is rotating in an anticlockwise direction and is bluish. The upper
portion appears to be stationary, battleship-gray in color, with a
transparent dome on top. Protruding out of the dome is something
resembling a broom handle. A sound, described as swishing or burbling,
is heard by both Charles and Trevor.

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)

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.

UNITED STATES. AND FINALLY, PROGRESSIVELY, THE RING BEGAN ITS
DISPERSION. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER IT WAS COMPLETE (...) BUT IN THE

DISPERSING TOO MUCH BY DEFORMING, A LARGE NUMBER OF NEEDLES UNDERGOING
THE EFFECTS OF SOLAR RADIATION. (...) MANY NEEDLES WERE LED TO DIVE INTO

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)

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.

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.

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.

Description: (Translated from French) (cf: 1953, New
Mexico) Villa receives the impulse to take his camera and go to a
certain place. There he sees a saucer 21 m in diameter. 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"

and his wife Janet are awakened at their home on 344 Commercial Street,
Weymouth, Massachusetts, by a loud roar. They look out the window and
see a Saturn-shaped object moving slowly above the treetops 100 feet off
the ground and 300 feet away. Gilberti describes it as “two hamburger
buns one on top of another with a sandwiched piece of meat protruding
around.” It is about 30–40 feet across and has two brilliant lights. The
UFO follows some power lines across a field and disappears to the
northeast. “The roar was deafening.” Neighbors hear the noise but do not
see anything.

in East Weymouth (Norfolk County) a married couple saw a thirty-foot
diameter object shaped like two bowls rim-to-rim hovering over some
power lines, approximately 300 feet away from them. The UFO made a
buzzing or humming sound as they watched it hover there for three
minutes. At about the same time three people in Rockland, Massachusetts
in nearby Plymouth County saw and photographed a disc-shaped object
zigzagging away toward the northwest, or in the direction of Norfolk
County. The time-lapsed photo shows a light making ninety-degree turns,
and was published in the local newspaper.

across a blood-red, glowing object, 25 feet across and 12 feet high, in
the road ahead. He is within 12 feet of it when he hits the brakes. The
object turns a lighter reddish-yellow and rises up into the air several
hundred feet. It turns on its side and speeds away. This and other UFO
incidents cause Sen. Jim Cavanagh to
ask the federal government to make its UFO dossier public, but Minister
for Air David
Fairbairn refuses, saying that the vast majority of reports are
explainable.

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.

A hole in the center is 3 feet deep and less than a foot in diameter.
All vegetation inside the circle is burned, leaving only bare earth, and
there are four slots in the ground around it, each about 4 feet long and

Moore states that a “shrimp-sized meteorite” has caused the crater.
But a military investigation shows no burn or scratch marks or any trace

UFO investigator, James Moseley, that the 4 engine jet airliner she had
been flying in was pursued by an UFO. The jet, traveling at 600 mph,
made a sharp turn to avoid the UFO, now rapidly closing in on the plane.
Just as they were about to collide, the UFO swerved away at fantastic
speed and disappeared in the night sky. When the (unnamed) woman
confronted the pilot about the incident, he said, “I wouldn’t dare risk
telling the airline of the incident. If I could tell you of some of the
experiences my buddies have had, you’d never fly again!”

Garston, Hertfordshire, England, then climbs out of sight. Thousands of
other people in the London area, including an air traffic controller
four miles away and future UFO researcher Timothy Good in
Bcckenham, London, also see the object, which has a tetrahedral shape
and glassy appearance when seen through binoculars. A USAF F-100 Super
Sabre from RAF Bentwaters [now Bentwaters Parks] in Woodbridge, Suffolk,
and another plane from the De Havilland Aircraft Company are sent up to
investigate but cannot get anywhere near the UFO, which is at an
estimated 90,000 feet. An amateur astronomer in Bushey, Hertfordshire,
takes a clear photo. The official explanation is a balloon.

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.

Description: Ronnie Austin and Phyllis Bruce, age 18,
were driving to Phyllis Bruce's home in Wayne City, Illiniois when they
had a close encounter with a humming, yellowish orange ball of light on
Highway 15 at 11:30 p.m. It paced the car to the woman's house, crossing
and recrossing the highway, and then hovered over a nearby barn when
they parked the car.While the UFO was hovering it changed its color to a
dull orange. 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.

Bombardment Wing at Glasgow Air Force Base [now closed] near Glasgow,
Montana, are walking in the parking lot when a bright light appears
above them, bathing everyone in an orange glow. It is coming from a
disc-shaped object with a dome that has some odd characters carved in
it. The object moves up, then to the right, then down and left. It makes
a square, then an X within the square, stopping at all points before
moving again. The underside of the object is a large panel of blue
light. They watch it for 3 minutes then it disappears.

Description: 9:30 p.m. Italian President Antonio Segni’s
personal driver encounters a UFO near the entrance of the Castel
Porziano Presidential Estate in Rome, Italy. When he sees a metallic
domed disc with portholes moving in front of him in the driveway ahead,
the driver stops the Fiat 2300 immediately. The UFO, about 65 feet
diameter, passes a few feet above the car, making a hissing noise and
causing the body to vibrate and the instruments to go crazy, then
reverses course and passes over the car again with the same effect. It
then tilts 90° and darts away to the west. It leaves behind a smell of
heated metal.

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.

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.

movements are very fast and the direction changes very definite. They
watch it pass overhead for several minutes. Suddenly, a long cylindrical
object with fins along its sides appears from the north and passes
overhead toward the south. The round object moves very rapidly to
intercept the long object, ejecting a yellowish-brown trail, and merges
with it.

Description: 6:50 p.m. More than 140 residents of
Wonthaggi and South Dudley, Victoria, Australia, observe a mystery
object like an orange beach ball maneuver in the sky for 25 minutes. At
first it hovers, then it begins moving slowly and silently, putting on
sudden and intermittent bursts of speed, before disappearing in an
easterly direction into the Bass Strait. During the 25 minutes that the
object is visible, TV sets malfunction in South Dudley, Wonthaggi, and
lnverlock. TV sets variously display white screens, gray screens, double
images, or snow and lines. Still other sets go completely blank. After
the UFO leaves at 7:15, all TV sets resume normal operation.

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.

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.

IN REALITY he reported having observed clouds of nocturnal storms. It is
easy to take things out of context to make them coincide with the UFO

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. (Guy TARADE: "S.V. and civilizations from beyond space" - J'AI LU

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.

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."

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. (1963, October 21-22)

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.

Description: (Translated from French) A military pilot
flying between St. Louis and Mitchel Air Force Base witnessed a strange
phenomenon. At 6:45 PM, he noticed "an object with well-defined outlines
accompanied by a smaller one". Without hesitation, he headed towards the
craft. At that moment "the smaller one shrank, the bigger one shrank and
both moved away". 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.

Iguape, São Paulo, Brazil. It soars above her, hits a palm tree, gyrates
a bit in the air, then falls into the Rio Peropava near the opposite
shore. She runs to get her mother and uncle, who also hear the sound.
They see the river boiling up in the spot, followed by an eruption of
muddy water and mud. Fishermen, including Tetsuo Ioshigawa, also view
the event. The UFO is estimated to be 25 feet in diameter. Divers, both
equipped and unequipped, fail to find any wreckage in the river, which
is only 12 feet deep.

which first appeared as a white flashing light. At times the object
seemed to have a "big divided window" on it. When the UFO hovered, the
deputies approached and flashed their squad car light. Then a flashing
red light became visible on the UFO. The object finally moved away to

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..

Description: Evening. Four teenagers—John Flaxton,
Mervyn Hutchinson, Jenny Holloway, and another youth—are in Sandling
Park near Saltwood, Kent, England, when they see a moving reddish-yellow
“star” above the woods. It comes down at an angle of 60°, then vanishes.
Moments later, they see a bright, golden light in a field about 240 feet
away, floating 10 feet above the ground, and seemingly 15–20 feet
across. It seems to move along with the teens for a short while. It
disappears behind trees, then a dark figure shambles out of the woods.
It is all black, about the size of a human but without a head and has
bat wings. The teenagers run away. Other witnesses come forward to
report strange lights and giant footprints in the woods.

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)

Description: (Translated from French) My father was
returning from work in the mountains. We had started to have dinner at 8
o'clock in the evening. After dinner, my younger brother and I wanted to
go and play with our neighbors. Having opened the door, we saw a strange
object flying in our direction. It was an unusual and bright thing with
a diameter of more than one meter. It was surrounded by an orange,
non-luminous band. The thing, which was two stories high, flew without
making any noise and had a particularly bright point. It was heading at
a uniform speed towards the southeast. Having noticed this phenomenon, I
screamed in terror and immediately called my parents who ran and looked
with us. This huge, luminous thing disappeared behind the mountain.

Description: (Translated from French) Frank S. Kinley,
a former USAF pilot, was with his brother-in-law visiting the new
Casitas Reservoir lake one beautiful morning. They were on the shore of
the lake and.. "I heard a loud splashing sound and saw this object come
out of the lake. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had an infrared-sensitive
camera around my neck, but I completely forgot to use it. 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.

Bombay and Madras, a man with a lot of charisma, and whose last
phalanges of the fingers were protected by capsules (sensitive finger
tips, like those of the Ummites?) came to keep him company and talk.
This is how Pallmann learned that the stranger came from the city of

arriving in Benares, Satu Ra introduced his sister Xiti to Pallmann. She
was a slender, truly beautiful woman with extraordinary eyes.

Description: (Translated from French) The incident had
taken place on a road, about a mile and a half from a farm belonging to
her mother. She had an appointment with Lew Lister. 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)

Stanford founds Project Starlight International to document the
existence of UFOs. He establishes a Laboratory for Instrumented Research
on a 400-acre site northwest of Austin, Texas, that includes two
buildings. Equipment eventually includes radar, a laser system,
magnetometers, a gravimeter, microcomputer, microphones, video
equipment, and still cameras. In the event of UFO activity, the
Operation ARGUS (Automated Ring-up on Geolocated UFO Sightings) computer
kicks in and automatically telephones all volunteers within the computed
visibility radius of the UFO. Volunteers attempt to locate and
photograph the UFO visually. On June 8, 1977, the FCC licenses its
Raytheon Model 1700 radar system with the call sign K12XBJ.

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.

go haywire. A shadow in the center of the lights rotated clockwise,
causing the lights to pulsate.

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.

Description: Betty
Hill has her first hypnosis session with Benjamin Simon. Betty’s
account closely matches her dreams from 2 years earlier, and her account
is consistent with Barney’s. 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.

Siragusa is able to take a ride in a saucer for the first time. He meets
other humans, including the Italian mechanic Luciano Galli from Bologna,
who had been contacted by Venusians since 1957. Siragusa had at least 19
close encounters with extraterrestrials between 1962 and 1978, and
almost every time he was forced to write messages to heads of state.

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)

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.

Description: At 7:22 a.m. local time, Airman Edward
Lowe, a radar operator at the Fallon Air Force Station, Nevada picked up
on his ground radar unit two blips flying in stacked formation making
rapid changes in altitude. They were first detected at 122 degrees,
60,000 feet, and at a range of 145 miles. Their motion was up and down.
The length of the observation was 1 hour and 21 minutes, at which point
the blips disappeared to the southeast. The official Air Force
explanation was a mirage.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

inside, where no one else believes him. It is gone the next morning, but
state police (including Capt. Martin E.
Vigil, David

Description: A B-57 pilot at Holloman AFB, Alamogordo,
New Mexico, radios to the control tower that he is watching an
egg-shaped, white UFO with markings that match the Socorro object. He
continues to watch it as it lands at the base. Coral
and Jim Lorenzen insist they heard the story from a reliable source.
In addition, a ham radio operator claims to have heard the exchange
between the pilot and control tower. Holloman AFB denies the incident
occurred. Shortly afterward, an airman walks into a clothing store in
Alamogordo and spins an incredible story of a UFO parked in a hangar
under heavy guard at Holloman. A couple days later, he returns to the
store and denies everything.

Description: (Translated from French) Jim Templeton
took a photograph of his daughter who had just put on a new dress.
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".
The enlargement which covers the entire page 23 of the magazine "NOUS"
clearly shows the separation lines of the collage at the horizon to the
right of the child's head, as well as above the lock of hair. (1964, May

Kalbermatter was driving home with a truckload of tree trunks, through a
forested area, when the road was suddenly blocked by a huge human-like
figure about 3 meters tall with abundant black hair. He almost ran over
the creature which emitted a very powerful guttural cry. Terrified,
Kalbermatter pressed the accelerator and fled. (...) A few nights before
he had seen a large luminous object that seemed to be stuck in the
branches of the trees. (May 1964)

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.

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: 10:15 p.m. Mrs. M.
Walter McKarley and her children see a large round object that
appears in their headlights after they pull into a driveway at Rio
Vista, California. It seems to be resting on the ground about a quarter
of a mile away. Higher in the sky is a small star-like object (probably
Venus). As they drive away, the large object seems to pace their car for
a short time. It then moves swiftly to the left and disappears behind a
water tank.

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 (...)

San Antonio, New Mexico
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.

Description: A man driving on Millinocket Lake Road saw
a fiery, spherical object to the side. He stopped and left his car with
a friend to observe it better. When they became afraid and walked back
to the car, the sphere followed them; the engine could not be started as
long as the sphere remained within 2 or 3 m of the car. It flew away
after five min. It was described as a ball of fire without structure,
about 75 cm in diameter.

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.

object, which was now seen to be spherical, approached to within 2-3
meters, the engine died and could not be restarted. The sphere was a
fuzzy "ball of fire," only 75 centimeters in diameter. After five
minutes, it flew away and the car could be started.

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.

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.

Coppermine trading post, south-southwest of Page, Arizona saw an ovoid
object fly in the southern sky for 15 minutes. It had a red misty glow.
A second ovoid flew off to the northwest. There were a total of 10
separate observers. At 10:00 a luminous blue blimp-shaped object hovered
low over New River, Arizona. It ascended and flew off to the
south-southwest when it was illuminated by car headlights.

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)

a huge object on the road ahead of them. Its bright light went out,
leaving only a violet colored light. After 20 minutes of no activity, a
man approached the car and suggested that they try the car again. The
engine started up. After telling the couple not to be afraid and that he
was on a mission, the humanoid joined two others and all three entered
the object. It then rose rapidly into the sky, leaving a violet-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.

Description: That same evening at 9:30 p.m. three
prominent citizens of Salta, Argentina--a lawyer, an engineer, and a
businessman--were driving along highway 9 when a rectangular shaped UFO,
reddish-orange in color, dove down several times in front of them. 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.

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.

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.

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)

Description: Nine persons from three different houses,
including J. Ivester, described an object like "a flying top." TV
interference was associated with the object's presence. It flew silently
at tree height and hovered over the vard of Mrs. Russell Mickinan's
house. The lower part was bright red, with three lights on the upper
part. As it left, a green light illuminated the countryside. A powerful
odor similar to "embalming fluid" was noticeable when police arrived.
The next day, witnesses felt a burning sensation on their faces and
arms.

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

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.

“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)

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

"eyes" about 10 cm in diameter, came near, apparently trying to dislodge

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.

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

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.

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. (September 21, 1964)

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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)

Pool at Fort Riley, KS claims on this date he and other guards were
ordered to hike a half mile across an open field while a searchlight
beam from an overhead Huey was focused ahead on a “large round object”
resting on the ground; the air was warm near the craft, it had impacted
the soil and stood at a tilt, was perfectly round and shaped like a
hamburger bun; in the middle of the craft at its equator was a black
band made up of squares, and a fin-like device protruded from one
end.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.”

six Army Signal Corps communications system specialists, at the
Munitions Building at Nineteenth Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C., observe 12–15 white oval objects maneuvering
erratically at 12,000–15,000 feet altitude above the US Capitol
Building. Two delta- wing jets, apparently from Andrews AFB in Maryland,
are seen in pursuit, but the objects easily outmaneuver them. Among the
witnesses are Paul M. Dickey Jr., Edward Shad, Sam Webb, Jack McBride,
and Sam Marrone. The objects are also tracked on radar. The Defense
Department denies the incident, but the witnesses publicly maintain
their story. The Pentagon forces a TV crew about to interview the
witnesses to shut down that evening.

chunks as large as 148 pounds shoot up into the sky and last as far away
as a quarter mile. A radioactive cloud rises up to 2,600 feet, then
drifts out over Los Angeles, California, and out to sea. The AEC calls

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...]

had an encounter with a nine-person space crew and took a ride in a
flying saucer. 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...

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.

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."

wore dark, tight-fitting one-piece suits. There were later found landing
imprints and footprints at the landing site.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

showed portholes and a cylinder about 1 m high, with a sliding door from
which a small creature, about 1 m tall, emerged and jumped to the
ground. Its face was not clearly visible but it had pointed ears, a sort
of tail, and was linked to the main object by a cable. It wore white
clothing, appeared to pick up something from the ground, and reentered
the cylinder, which then slid up into the larger white disk. The outside
rim started spinning in a counterclockwise motion with a soft whistling
sound and the object rose straight up, out of view. Estimated diameter
of the disk: 7m.

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.

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

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.”

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.”

They took several photographs of the spherical, slightly oblate object,
which was flat on the top and bottom. The aerial encounter lasted 10-15
minutes, resulting in several photographs. The film was conficated by
the Australian military and never returned. The audio tapes of the
conversation with air traffic controllers were also confiscated and the
operator on duty, William Orr, was told to "shut his mouth" about the
incident or face dismissal.

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.

Description: Systems analyst Jacques
Vallée publishes Anatomy of a Phenomenon, which generates particular
excitement for its sober, scientific treatment of the UFO phenomenon.
Well reviewed, it plays a significant role in the renaissance of
interest in UFOs as scientists express a willingness to examine the UFO
problem. It is the first book by a working scientist to argue for the
extraterrestrial hypothesis.

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. (Jacques POTTIER: "Les Soucoupes

1965 (James A. McDivitt, Edward White). 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?))

McDivitt spots an object that he describes as a “white cylindrical
shape with a white pole sticking out of one corner of it.” He takes two
photos of it. His partner, Ed
White, is asleep at the time. McDivitt maintains that it was some
unknown but man-made piece of debris, while James Oberg, flight
controller at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, argues that it
is most likely the Titan II second stage of the craft.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description: 7:42 p.m. 17 people (including three
visiting Chilean personnel) observe a lens-shaped disc that maneuvers
erratically across the sky for about an hour at the Argentine Deception
Station in the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. 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.

South Shetland Islands, Antarctica two Chilean scientists, Barrera and
Perisse, witnessed, tracked with a theodolite, and photographed a
bluish-green lighted object that zigzagged and caused strong radio
frequency interference beginning at 7:14 p.m. Another electromagnetic
effect was that the UFO registered on their magnetograph tapes and
variometers. Photographs were taken. The blue-green lighted object was
seen zig-zagging. There was a government coverup.

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)

is at an altitude of 24,000–30,000 feet. At no time does it make any
sound. According to witnesses, the clocks stop at the same time the UFO
reaches the zenith directly over the airport. Attempts to identify it
are unsuccessful.

Fernandes gets up to go to the well for some water at her home in Porto,
Portugal, near the Porto Airport. She notices a luminous red object
shaped like a cardinal’s hat coming from the west at high speed. It
stops in mid-air and hovers above some nearby woods, rocking back and
forth. She rushes back to warn her husband, Manuel Fernandes. They
notice that their radio set has started making a loud noise. They
estimate the object is about a quarter-mile away. Its top part is
orange, and on its brim is a flickering red light. They watch it for 3
minutes before it takes off to the north at full speed. The radio goes
back to normal.

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.

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.

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.

Description: (Translated from French) (cf. April 1965,
Monte Grande) No details seem to have been published about the encounter
that allegedly took place on May 3. 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.

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. (...)

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

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.”

Description: (Translated from French) UFO formations
are reported above several US states. The USAF
claims that these objects are the planet Jupiter
and the stars Betelgeuse, Aldebaran, Rigel and Capella. This explanation
is later refuted by Robert Risser, director of the Oklahoma Scientific
Foundation's planetarium, who states: We couldn't be further from the
truth. Apparently, none of the mentioned stars were visible in the US at
the time of the visions. (Saturday, July 31)

(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.

starts receiving 25–30 visual sightings of UFOs, many by police and
highway patrol troopers from Purcell north to Norman to Chandler and
back south through Meeker and Shawnee, Oklahoma. The sightings continue
through dawn and vary from one to four objects that start and stop,
often having a red color and varying to a white and blue luster.

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. It is tilted about 45° then straightens
out. “It looked like Saturn with a flat top and flat bottom.”

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)

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

come back on intermittently. A UFO passes just above his truck with a
wind-like sound and hovers about 100 feet in front of him. Tenopir stops
his rig, and the object slowly rises and takes off to the southwest. It
seems to be 14–15 feet in diameter, 2 feet thick with a 4-foot hump in
the middle, and orange-colored. It is shooting off rays in spurts. He
stops in Abilene to report his sighting to Abilene Reflector-Chronicle
reporter Ed
Corwin.

Don Tenopir, age 44, had reached a point 25 miles from Abilene, Texas
when his headlights blinked and failed, but his truck's diesel engine
did not. A metallic, domed disc-shaped UFO swooped low from behind and
dove towards his grain truck, then landed on the road 30 meters ahead
causing a car coming from the opposite direction to leave the road in
order to avoid it. The object had an orange glow and was five meters in
diameter, 1.5 meters high, and had a "black spot" on its dome. It took
off toward the west, then turned south. The UFO made a sound like wind
blowing through trees, and gave off bluish sparks.

it was a piglet falling from the sky... 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..."

Description: At four o'clock in the afternoon a medical
doctor--a gynecologist--and two other witnesses saw a yellow luminous
disc-shaped object, 50 feet in diameter, land in San Pedro de los Altos,
Venezuela. A shaft of light came down from the object. Inside the beam
descended two 7-8 feet tall men with long blond hair. They wore seamless
metallic coveralls. They communicated telepathically with the
witnesses.

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.

Evanston, and Becky Aanstad, all 21 years old, were driving near the
Lincoln Park Golf Course in Grand Forks, North Dakota when they saw a
yellow luminous, disc-shaped flying object that they first took to be
the moon. But it then “blinked black and white,” and the silhouettes of
several little figures could be seen inside the craft. Three men in
another nearby car also saw the object; a teenage boy reportedly ran
toward it and the object disappeared with a bang.

overhead slowly to the south. The object then turned and accelerated to

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

craft, while the terrified witnesses hid in their room. They did not

in Salto, Uruguay heard a loud hum and saw a UFO land directly in front
of their car, causing the engine to stall. Its brilliant white
luminescence changed colors from red to yellow and green. The object
itself, a leaden metallic color, stood nine feet high and was as wide as
the road. Three beings inside the craft, who looked human, were
illuminated by an interior green light and could be seen moving around
inside the craft. Finally, with a burst of orange flame, the object rose
vertically into the sky and vanished.

directly in front of their car, stalling the car's engine. Its brilliant
white luminescent glow changed to red, then to yellow, and then to

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.

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.

Description: 3:00 a.m. Thelma B. Schumaker and her
mother, Mrs. W. H. Blackburn, are awakened by an explosion in their
backyard in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The sound seems to rise and
travel west. They see a bright golden cigar hovering in the north. The
object moves to the right then to the left, then up and down, left
again, then disappears behind some high oak trees. The next morning, the
witnesses find a 6-inch-wide circle of depressed sod that is worn down
to the soil. The circle is 12 feet in diameter.

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.

a loud humming sound and saw a reddish glowing, oval-shaped object pass

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

had heard the humming noise. Total duration of incident was 30

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.

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.

Description: (Translated from French) Four independent
witnesses saw a strange silhouette, dressed in black, on Campillo
Avenue. The being had luminous hands, cat eyes and carried a wheel of
metal or crystal, which it manipulated to produce a beam of light.
(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..

the surrounding fields (11:30 p.m.). “Every blade of grass stood out

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

softly land on the road in front of them. Jorge Chaves tried to approach
it but it rose and disappeared at great speed. (...)

Description: (Translated from French) At 8:30 in the
morning, Antonio Pau Ferro, a black farmer, was working in his cornfield
when he heard "a loud whistling noise" and, turning, he saw two bright
discs about 1.5 meters wide and 60 cm thick slowly land a little below
him, on the side of the hill. 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.

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.

headlights. It was sitting on the road. The UFO was copper colored and
about 30 ft. in diam. Immediately the UFO lifted off, emitting tongues
of flame from two tubes or channels on the underside. The flames
deflected about three feet off the macadam road surface and were still
visible after loosing sight of the craft. Road damage: part of the road
was caved-in, and in a 6 foot area the gravel was separated from the
tar. Samples of the road surface were taken for analysis, report was
never released. Lt. Col. J.B. Brits, District Commandant of Pretoria
North said the incident was “highly secret”, and inquiry is being
conducted in top circles.

Description: Just after 12:00 midnight. 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Description: Night. KEYL-AM radio announcer James F.
Townsend, 19, is driving on State Highway 27 four miles east of Long
Prairie, Minnesota, when he slams on his brakes to avoid hitting a
rocket-like device resting on three legs or fins. 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.

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.

Some stem from a high-altitude SAC exercise out of Westover AFB [now

explained by temperature inversion that causes the appearance of stars

“invulnerable” and can outmaneuver any aircraft.

Description: Fort Riley, KA: “AK” (Aaron Kaback) was on
guard duty at 2 a.m. when the duty officer drove up and ordered him to
hop into the jeep. He and 3 other officers were driven out to a remote
area where a large oval object was resting. An army chopper was hovering
above the object and shining a bright light on it. The object was
approx. 35–48 ft. in diam., had a fin on the end and an exhaust port or
some kind of hole below the fin. It had rows of squares around the rim
and remained completely dead for the 2 1/2 hours they guarded it.
(Kaback seems to be confused as to the actual date this incident
occurred.)

and saw a disk that stopped in the sky. After a minute of waiting, a
round hole opened in the base of the spacecraft, from which reddish
vapors emerged. 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.

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.

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.

Description: Dario Filho, his wife, his grandson, and a
bank director saw an object land 100 m away, flashing a beam of light
toward the sky. Two policemen on the scene also observed the incident.
Near the object were two dwarfs. One of them wore coveralls, the other
had a gray shirt and brown trousers. By what seemed an optical effect, a
third being with a flat, squarish head, wearing something like a
surgeon's apron, was also seen near them. The object and the creatures
were very bright.

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.

Borman later confirms that what he saw was not a UFO. When he offers
to go on the television show Unsolved Mysteries to clarify, the
producers tell him, “Well, I’m not sure we want you on the

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.

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).

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.

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.”

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.

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.

at a short distance in a stationary flight: As for its shape, you know
those saucers that kids slide down hills on, you know what I mean? 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

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.

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.

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. (...) "

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.

motorcycle, saw three "gray garbed and white faced" figures, looking
like frogmen, jump into a hedgerow. They had wide-spaced eyes and no
apparent mouths. One figure was seen to have fair hair. They were
shorter than normal humans, but with big shoulders, rather large heads,
and thin legs. He turned around and came back, and saw a "large saucer
of light" rise from the lakeside. The saucer hovered briefly before
flying off in the direction of Cley Hill. Ground traces were found at
the site.

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)

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.

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.

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.

workers while walking home saw lights in the road, then saw that it was
a large disc with two bright lights (body lights) and three small beings
about the size of 9-year-old children standing alongside, along with one
being over 6 feet tall. The object rose, then landed in a new location.
The girls ran home with the object following. It circled the area near
their house, then flew away. No sound was heard. One of the girls
suffered unspecified "effects" for a period of time. Grass was found
depressed (imprints) at the landing spot. (Phillips, 1975. p. 40; from

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.

Locations: Fábrica Nacional de Motores; Duque de
Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Description: 10:40 a.m. A security guard at the Fábrica
Nacional de Motores in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, alerts
10 employees to a mysterious light that is approaching the factory. It
descends to 1,500–1,800 feet and hovers above the plant. The object is
approximately 18 feet in diameter and emits a brilliant white light that
makes it difficult to look at directly. It periodically flashes even
brighter. Plant director Col. Jorge Alberto Silveira Martins calls the
Army and Air Force. After 30 minutes, the object dims and moves away at
tremendous speed before the Army trucks arrive.
