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: 2:30–3:00 a.m. Two young men in Furnace
Creek, California, are followed by a red ball of light the size of a
beach ball. They get scared and run ahead to their house, slamming and
locking the door behind them. The ball stops at the edge of their yard,
hovering and oscillating in size. After 4–5 minutes, the ball moves away
and creates a vortex, causing stones to rise and circle in the air. They
can hear the sound of the stones hitting together. Then the light blinks
out, and the rocks crash down onto the road.

Description: (Translated from French) At the same time
(with the launch of the BMEWS alert satellites since Spring 1960)
"IMEWS" (Integrated Early Warning System) were launched, equipped with
two infrared cameras, one of which was equipped with a large diameter
mirror, in order to discriminate between real rocket launches and simple
reflections of the sun on clouds, which were the source of very numerous
false alarms for the previous satellites. (...) The alert, if any, is
transmitted to the nearest receiving station, in particular those of
Guam or Australia. (...) These IMEWS are placed in geostationary orbit
and not simply geosynchronous like those of the BMEWS. They are huge
drums 3 m high and 3 m in diameter flanked by four solar panel panels
giving them a wingspan of 7 meters. (From 1970 onwards)

Description: (Translated from French) (Source: From Our
UFO Visitors, by John Magor) It was close to five o'clock in the morning
when Miss Doreen Kendall, a nurse at the Cowichan District Hospital,
noted that one of the strangers in her care was agitated. Deciding that
he was too hot, she opened the window. As she drew back the curtains,
she was met with a flash of light in her eyes. It was still dark
outside, and about 20 m away, above the children's pavilion to her left,
there was a large luminous object, lighting up the area as if it were
broad daylight. It was a circular object, the base was silver, but like
a ball. All around it were lights in a necklace. The dome was
transparent, made of glass and she could see inside. There were two
figures, men, she thought. The one in front seemed taller, or was on a
raised part. She looked on with immense curiosity but without any fear.
Their heads were in something dark, tightly closed. She saw the craft
rise, tilting, and she saw the figures from head to knees and they
seemed to be facing chairs. They wore tight clothing of the same color
as what they wore on their heads, but their hands were free and seemed
human, with skin like that of the Earthlings. She saw a kind of panel,
like a huge dashboard, going from the back of the object to the top, as
if embedded in metal. This is how she forgot about Nurse Frieda Wilson,
who was in the same room. She felt that she must not make any noise, nor
call her colleague. The man in front slowly turned towards her, but his
face was also covered, he touched the other man on the back, and the
latter deliberately maneuvered a kind of lever and the saucer began to
rotate slowly, still close to the building. (1970, 1 January)

in diameter hovering one story above her, about 60 feet off the ground
and 40 feet away. It has a row of lights around its middle. She can see
two humanoid figures in dark, tight-fitting clothing and wearing
headgear in the upper portion. One stands at an instrument panel, with
the other behind it. The second being looks directly at Kendall, then
touches the first being, who moves a lever, apparently causing the craft
to tilt down and provide a view of its interior. Kendall calls for other
witnesses, who arrive in time to see the UFO leave.

Description: (Translated from French) Aarno Heinonen,
36 years old, and Esko Viljo, 38 years old, were skiing in a forest 16
km north of Heinola. At 4:45 PM, as the sun was beginning to set, they
decided to rest. A kind of buzzing sound was then heard and, looking up,
Heinonen saw in the air a light of strong intensity that began a wide
turn and came in their direction. It descended and stopped right in the
space, surrounded by a kind of luminous grayish mist that manifested
itself by pulsations, 15 m from the witnesses. Through the mist they saw
an object of metallic appearance, the base of 3 m in diameter had three
globes on a rim and in the middle a kind of large tube of about 25 cm in
diameter. The mist gradually dissipated and when the object descended to
4 m from the ground the buzzing stopped. A beam of light came out of the
central tube and a creature of about 90 cm appeared at ground level in
this tube of light. Its face was pale like wax, on the head it wore a
shiny conical helmet, and it was dressed in a light gray overalls that
shone. The humanoid was wearing green boots. In his hand he held a black
box from which a blinding flash suddenly emerged. The mist reformed
around the object and the illuminated circle emitted green and red
sparks. The fog thickened, the light trembled like the flame of a candle
and returned to the tube. Then it was as if the mist scattered and
everything had disappeared. Heinonen felt weak, paralyzed on the right
side. It took them two hours to cover the 2 km that separated them from
the village. He had headaches, vomiting, his blood pressure dropped, his
balance affected. He was cold, despite the sedatives he had very sore
neck, stomach and back for a while and could not return to work. Viljo
had a red and swollen face and lost his sense of balance. He felt a kind
of lightness in his legs and his chest and hands were covered with red
spots. Other people went to the observation site and were sick for two
days. (Inforespace n° 22, p. 2 and 3) Arno HEINONEN (36 years old) and
Esko VILJO (38 years old): AH; heat and numbness in the side exposed to
the UFO; respiratory difficulties; inability to work; EC: swellings,

Description: (Translated from French) Finnish
competitive cross-country skiers, lumberjack Aarno Heinonen and farmer
Esko Viljo, find themselves in the forest near Imjãrvi (Finland). They
decide to rest in a clearing and watch the stars rise as twilight falls.
The two men hear a buzzing sound and see in the sky a very bright light
approaching from the north. It turns around at the clearing level and
descends towards them from the south. It is surrounded by a red-gray
luminous mist. When the cloud has descended to about 15 m from the
ground, they see in its center a disc of about 3 m in diameter. The disc
stays at this height, continuing to buzz. Then, according to Heinonen:
The immense disc began to descend with the red-gray mist, which became
thinner and transparent. It stopped at a height of 3 or 4 m, so close
that I could touch it with my ski stick. We saw that its upper part was
topped with a dome. Along the lower edge was a kind of raised part with
3 spheres with domes spaced at equal distances. From the center of its
lower part protruded a tube about 25 cm in diameter, from which suddenly
came an intense beam of light. I suddenly felt as if someone had pulled
me back. At the same second, I saw the creature. It stood in the middle
of the light beam, with a black box in its hands. It was about 90 cm
tall, with very thin arms and legs. Its face was like pale wax. The nose
looked more like a hook than a nose. The ears were very small and
narrowed at the face. The creature wore a kind of suit in a light green
material and a shiny conical helmet like metal. The being points the
black box at Heinonen, and a blinding, flickering yellow light takes him
as a target. A red mist begins to cover the area and red, green and
purple sparks begin to rain around the skiers like candles about 10 cm
long floating in long curves. The mist becomes thicker and thicker,
until, according to Viljo, the beam suddenly began to decrease, rose
like a flickering flame and was sucked into the opening of the craft.
Then it was as if the veil of mist had dissolved. The air around us was
empty! After a few minutes, Heinonen realizes that he can no longer use
his left leg, the one that was most exposed to the strange light beam.
Viljo supports his friend to his home, about 3 km further. In the months
that followed, Heinonen suffered from severe memory loss, constant pain,
exhaustion and headaches. For 2 months, his urine was like black coffee.
Viljo suffered from facial swelling, headaches and eye problems.

Description: 4:45 p.m. Two skiers, lumberjack Aarno
Heinonen and farmer Esko Viljo, at Imjärvi, Finland, watch a disc-
shaped, buzzing UFO approach them and hover. It is so close to Heinonen
that he could touch it with his ski pole. From an opening in the center
of the object’s bottom, a bright light beam is emitted, creating an
illuminated area of 3 feet in diameter on the snow beneath it, edged
with black. A red gray mist descends again; when it clears, both men can
see, only 10 feet away, a 3-foot tall humanoid creature standing in the
illuminated area, carrying in its hands a black box with a pulsating
yellow light. Its arms and legs are very thin, its face pale like wax,
and its nose hooked; it wears a light green coverall with darker green
knee boots, white gauntlets, and a conical metallic helmet. Then the
mist again descends, and long red, green, and purple sparks float out
from the lighted area. A sort of flame rises from this spot and enters
the UFO; then the mist and the UFO vanish. After this experience,
Heinonen finds his right leg numb, and he vomits and passes black urine;
Viljo also suffers severe physiological effects. Heinonen claims, two
years later, a series of contacts with a female spacewoman.

Description: At 3:45 in the afternoon two cross-country
skiers, Aarno Heinonen and Esko Viljo, heard a buzzing sound and saw a
round, ten foot wide metallic object with a flat bottom and a dome in
the sky outside of Imjarvi, Finland. It was wrapped by a reddish-gray
mist. The UFO descended to within ten feet of the snow-covered ground in
a forest clearing and the buzzing sound ceased. It was described as
being so close to Heinonen that he could have touched it with his ski
pole.
The two men next saw a beam of light come from an
opening in the bottom of the craft. It created an illuminated area three
feet in diameter on the snow beneath it, edged with black. A red gray
mist descended again, and when it cleared both men could see, only 10
feet away, a three foot tall little man on the ground standing in the
illuminated area. He had thin arms and legs, a pale waxy complexion with
a hook nose, and wore a light green coverall uniform with darker green
knee boots, white gauntlets, and a conical metallic helmet.
He
held a small black box at his chest level with a pulsating yellow light
from which a beam was emitted. Then the mist descended again, and long
red, green and purple "sparks" floated out from the lighted area. A
flame of sorts rose from this spot and the being entered the UFO. Then
the mist vanished along with the UFO. After this experience, Heinonen
found that his right leg was numb. He vomited and he passed urine that
was black in color. Viljo also suffered severe physiological effects.
Aarno Heinonen would go on to experience other close encounters, two
years later, in a series of contacts with a fair skinned female
being.

Description: The UFO Subcommittee of the American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics sponsors a panel that meets in
New York City to discuss differing viewpoints on UFOs. Among the panel
members are Hynek, McDonald, Thornton
Page, Gordon D. Thayer, and Philip
Klass. The
subcommittee, led by Joachim P.
Kuettner, consists of scientists with no previous position on UFOs
and reaches several middle-of-the-road conclusions. It criticizes the
NAS position that the ETH is the least likely explanation and rejects
McDonald’s position that it is the “least unsatisfactory.” It criticizes
the Condon report, in which the conclusions do not match the data, and
recommends a moderate-level, ongoing study of UFOs.

Description: (Translated from French) The witness,
having parked his car, began his usual jogging session in this rural
area. After a journey, he followed a field with wide furrows. Suddenly
he saw a vertical wall of blue and fluorescent light as if placed on the
furrows. The shape of this wall of light was regular, a few meters from
the path. Despite his astonished fear, the witness approached this
palisade of light which, suddenly, collapsed like a mass of light
snakes, forming a single entity with interruptions whose ends were like
cut off. This wriggling agglomerate stretched like a rope and flew
undulating through the fields, progressing in waves, as if it followed
the height and hollows of the furrows taken across. Then, without
stopping, it disappeared towards a wooded area. The witness then
discovered the traces of the phenomenon on the crest of the furrows. He
returned the next evening to the scene without discovering or observing
anything. (1970, January 24 (not 23))

Description: (Translated from French) Saturday, early
evening, around 7:30 PM. Mr. Herbosch was walking in the middle of
Avenue de la Réserve when his gaze was drawn to something faintly
luminous, about 20 meters in front of him, to his left, on the vacant
lot, raised at this point by about 75 cm. It was then 7:45 PM. The
witness stopped and saw that it was a kind of "stain on the ground",
oval in shape, several meters in size, 7 or 8 meters at first glance,
which suddenly became very bright, like a phosphorescent light green
color. (...) He was looking for the lamp or light source that should
have produced such an effect. Indeed, it was logical, only a powerful
projector could have been the source of this stain on the ground. But no
beam of light or any device was visible. There was NOTHING. Suddenly,
when he was barely 10 meters away from this stain, the witness stopped
dead in his tracks, so much so that what he saw seized him, bewildered
him and scared him. (What follows took place in 20 or 30 seconds
maximum). The stain became brighter and brighter; it seemed to vibrate,
then it swelled or inflated, a bit like a balloon, first laid flat on
the ground, then suddenly inflated. The luminous bell thus formed grew
even more, and the top reached a height of about 5 meters. It also
looked a bit like the dome that could be seen on old steam locomotives.
The coloration became almost blinding and the green color became paler,
tending more towards neon white. This mass of light vibrated in a
frightening way but still kept a clear bell shape and seemed to be made
up of thousands of tiny luminous particles moving and swarming in all
directions inside the bell. This gave the impression of terrible
nervousness. When it reached its maximum height, this insolent
apparition violently illuminated the whole landscape, as well as the
curtain of trees at the end of the vacant lot. These trees, which are
about 100 meters from Avenue de la Réserve, were illuminated in their
entire height, as if by a flash of extraordinary power. Mr. Herbosch was
also able to notice through the bell which was translucent despite the
strong brightness, that the base was perfectly elliptical. The spectacle
was quite frightening, all the more so since it took place in total
silence. No heat effect or smell was noticed. At that moment, in the
face of this quite unusual and unknown phenomenon to him, Mr. Herbosch
was seized by extreme fear, but he stayed there, frozen, paralyzed in
front of this strange scene. Immediately after illuminating the
landscape, which lasted a few seconds, the bell suddenly collapsed or
deflated to take its initial form of a stain, identical to what it was
at the beginning of the observation. The brightness became weak again
and again of a pale green color. Then the stain moved on the ground of
the vacant lot and moved away from the witness (perhaps at 10 or 15
km/h) and disappeared towards the northwest, in the direction of a villa
under construction at the time..

Description: (Translated from French) Leona Nielson was
with two friends in her mountain cabin. They had had a pleasant evening
and had gone to bed around one o'clock in the morning. But Leona
couldn't fall asleep. Her room faced the Flat River flowing down the
hill. Suddenly the room was brightly lit by a light coming from below
and she went out onto the balcony to see what it was. She then saw, in
the field on the edge of the river, an enormous flying saucer about 20
meters in diameter with a platform 2 meters wide all around it. Two
strange beings were busy on this platform as if they were making a
repair, and probably using electric welding, as sparks could be seen.
These beings were of normal size, bareheaded, wearing white overalls and
seemed to walk and work like human beings. With her two friends who had
joined her, Leona watched the repair which lasted for nearly an hour,
then the sparks stopped. The two humanoids went back into their saucer,
it immediately started off at a fantastic speed and disappeared into the
clouds. (February 18, 1970)

Description: (Translated from French) One night at 3 or
4 o'clock in the morning, I went out to do a natural need. The weather
was nice, the sky was all clear. On the porch, I instinctively looked up
and saw, in the sky, to the northeast, something huge higher than the
moon. This thing was luminous, 1.30m high and 1m wide, more than 2m
long. The object looked exactly like a transparent door suspended in the
firmament. Its luminosity seemed to me similar to that of a cinema
screen. I was very surprised and stayed in the courtyard for about ten
minutes without moving. (...) I went into the room to wake up my two
other companions, but they were sleeping deeply and I didn't succeed. As
I was cold and scared, I didn't dare go out again to see the strange
phenomenon. The next day I fell ill and, for three days, I had a
headache, I was always feeling like vomiting.

Location: SPAIN, Gabriel y Galand Dam
Description: (Translated from French) Nicolas Santos
was driving when he could follow the maneuvers of an object of discoidal
shape surrounded by portholes and surmounted by a dome. A reddish halo
surrounded this thing that came to stop two hundred meters from the
witness. Suddenly, under the object appeared several beams of bright
light directed towards the ground. (...) "Suddenly the object started to
move. It was something extraordinary. It gathered its light beams like a
bird gathers its wings. The light folded in on itself gently and
simultaneously the halo surrounded the craft again and it moved away."
Following the observation, the witness had to be treated for
conjunctivitis. That night, for an undetermined cause, there was a power
outage in the dam's installations. (Jean-Marie DOUCHET - Nostra -
24.12.1980) It was, the witnesses said, something extraordinary, an
enormous disc of about 15 m in diameter and 3 m high, flying
horizontally, "majestically" and without noise. Very slowly, impressive
to behold. The spectacle lasted 3 hours. It was evolving at an altitude
of about 200 meters. A dozen powerful light beams illuminated the
ground: a very particular light, very similar in intensity to
fluorescent light, but of a slightly yellow-greenish color. On the side
of the craft, portholes were faintly lit. Fairy spectacle more than
frightening since one of the main witnesses, Mr. Santos Nicolas, a
teacher in Guijo de Grenadilla, said: "I couldn't believe it. It had
been more than an hour that I could contemplate something wonderful,
something so unusual that it really couldn't belong to our world..."
This long observation caused the witness's vision to be altered, a
burning sensation in the eyes. The ophthalmologist diagnosed
conjunctivitis.

Locations: Cradle Hill; Warminster, Wiltshire,
England
Description: 11:00 p.m. About 30 UFO spotters gathered
on Cradle Hill, just outside Warminster, Wiltshire, England, see a
flashing purple light. One of their sensors buzzes, indicating a strong
magnetic field, and one observer (Norman Foxwell) takes photos that
appear in the July/August 1970 Flying Saucer Review. But the UFO is
actually a light beam from a high-intensity purple spot-lamp operated by
a group of UFO debunkers, among them physicist David I. Simpson. Foxwell
himself is part of the skeptical group (having pre-exposed a spurious
UFO image), as is the individual who operated the bogus magnetic-field
sensor. The hoax is revealed six years later.

Then, from April 1970, the technique of launching in groups of eight was
inaugurated, with the Cosmos 336 to 343. Each year since then, the
Soviet Union has renewed this fleet at a rate of two or three group
launches, that is 16 to 24 satellites. they orbit between 1400 and 1500
km under an inclination of 74°. under the same inclination, and at a
lower altitude (around 800 km), they also launch other cosmos dedicated
to military telecommunications, at an average rate of two per year, but
these are individual satellites. (April 1970)

Description: (Translated from French) Finally, there
was the aborted Apollo 13 mission, which forced the return to Earth of
the lunar module that was supposed to rest on the moon forever. Inside
its sides, however, was a small nuclear generator (4 kilograms of
plutonium) destined to power the scientific equipment that the
astronauts were to deploy on the moon. This module fell into the Tonga
Trench in the middle of the Pacific. The surveys that have been carried
out since then fortunately show no modification of the underwater
environment. (Note from Vog: this module is supposed to still be intact
in the sea, off the Fiji Islands). (April 11, 1970)

Description: Kalle Tiihonen, age 39, a locally well
known and respected retired athlete, had just come from the sauna and
was drinking coffee in his kitchen in Kursu, Salla, Finland at around 5
p.m. when he and his family heard a sound resembling a swarm of bees. He
then had the feeling that someone was staring at him from the doorway
behind him. He turned around and saw a small creature about 1.2 meters
in height, clad in a tight fitting shiny green suit and helmet. The
creature had very dark, large eyes, with a human look. Tiihonen believed
that the creature had not come in through the door since he would have
heard some noise. For several moments they stared at each other, and
then Tiihonen asked the creature where he was from. "From the space,"
was the answer. Tiihonen was unsure if he in fact heard the answer or if
it was a mental message. In an effort to make conversation Tiihonen
asked the alien if the Apollo 13 astronauts, then stranded in space,
would get back home safely. "Yes they will", was the answer. Tiihonen
spoke with the being of other subjects for some time, but could not
recall later what they spoke about, other than the creature promised to
return. It took a step backwards and disappeared in an instant. Tiihonen
again heard the noise resembling a swarm of bees. Tiihonen's
eight-year-old son was sitting in another room during the encounter and
heard his father talking to someone, but the dividing wall kept him from
seeing the humanoid. However, he did see a bright object land on the
grass outside, and also saw it lift off. Tiihonen ran to the sauna where
his wife was and told her about his encounter. After the incident,
Tiihonen was unable to sleep for three nights in a row, and experienced
a sort of malaise for over a week.

Description: At 1:38 p.m. local time in Mar del Plata,
Argentina a luminous disc-shaped object glowed as bright as the sun, yet
vanished while still in view. A man by the name of Galan took a
photograph of it before it disappeared. Richard Hall gives the
photographer a high rating for reliability and the photograph a strong
rating for genuineness.

Locations: Lake Anten, Västra Götaland, Sweden;

Description: Around midnight. Several independent
groups of witnesses to the west of Lake Anten, Västra Götaland, Sweden,
watch a red, glowing sphere fly around the lake and neighboring areas.
It occasionally sends out a beam of light to the ground. Some of the
observers get the impression that the beams originate on the ground
rather than from the object. The next morning a few of the observers get
into boats and sail to the spot where the sphere was seen hovering. In
one corner of the garden of an isolated farmhouse named Enebacken, they
find three round marks, one foot in diameter and 1.5 inches deep, burned
into the ground in the shape of an equilateral triangle. A UFO group in
Gothenburg, Sweden, takes soil samples to a laboratory for gamma-ray
testing and finds significant non-background radiation at a peak that
seems to derive from cesium-137, a radioactive isotope.

attends a curious ballet: At that moment, the Great Bear was almost at
its zenith. I suddenly noticed that 2 of the stars were moving... in a
circle around a common center while maintaining their position around
two opposite points of the diameter, as would for example two small
paint strokes at the two opposite edges of a microcross turning on a
turntable. They were making about 30 turns/min, in the opposite
direction of the hands of a clock, at a constant speed; the brightness
of the objects was lower than that of Acturus, a little lower than that
of Alpha, Beta and Gamma in the Great Bear. They suddenly stopped. (...)
They remained absolutely still, then they began to move away from each
other and the one that was heading south suddenly stopped... "The star"
that had started to move north continued its march. (May)

Description: John L. Acuff, an experienced manager but
not a UFO researcher, becomes the new president of NICAP. He is the
former executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Society of
Photographic Scientists and Engineers [now the Society for Imaging
Science and Technology], which has cooperated with NICAP on
photoanalysis but also has military and CIA connections. Acuff and G.
Stuart Nixon dismantle the NICAP system of affiliates and state
subcommittee system that have promoted the organization for years.
Regional members are told to operate independently from one another;
cooperation is discouraged. Criticism of the government’s UFO policy is
no longer permitted and NICAP turns into a mere “sighting collection
center.” Nixon is appointed executive director.

Description: 12:45 a.m. A truck driver is approaching
Emerald Beach, New South Wales, when he sees a bright light on he ocean
side of the highway. A circular object rises from behind some woods
1,600 feet from the road. It hovers for 30 seconds at an altitude of 66
feet. Relative to the trees, the object appears to be about 33 feet in
diameter, and flames seem to shoot from its base. It slowly returns to
the ground, where it is partially obscured by trees, but it continues to
emit beams of light from its top and sides. Fearful, the driver leaves
the area. Ufologist Bill
Chalker accompanies the witness to the landing site, where they
discover six circles of dead grass of varying sizes and burned
trees.

Description: In Evillers, Doubs department, France in
1970, six children reported seeing four three-and-a-half-foot tall
humanoid beings. The bulky humanoids wore red tops with black straps,
and carried large sacks on their belts. They also saw a strange gray
"dog" creature that jumped a distance of 40 feet. At around 2:45 p.m.
Marie, age 10, was standing on the road opposite a house that was being
used as a storehouse and stable, when she saw a figure at a
windowpane-less second floor window. The being was the size of a child,
but had a big protruding stomach. She told other children and several of
them, led by Noel, age 12, entered the building. Noel saw a small person
about 3.5 feet tall in a red sweater with a black shoulder strap across
it, which he chased down the stairs and outdoors to the
pasture.
That evening at 6:30 p.m. Bertrand, age 10, was near
the building when he noticed a "boy" about 3.5 feet tall standing beside
it. He had a big belly and was wearing a red sweater crossed by a wide
black strap. This "boy" ran around behind the building. A short time
later Noel, Simon, and Barthelemy all saw a long gray animal, which they
called a "dog", make a giant leap from the second floor window (about 12
feet high), and landed on the ground some 40 feet from the house. It
left footprints "like a calf's." Then a small person like those seen
earlier came out of the barn and called the "dog" to him with a snap of
his fingers. He then passed a thick leash around its neck. Then three
more such beings appeared, all alike except that one lacked a large
stomach. They wore black hats with a peak behind. All four, with the
"dog", then began to run very rapidly down the road away from the
village. Two trucks passed and as they did the little men and their
"dog" nimbly jumped off the road and hid. They ran out of sight. The
next day the "dog's" paw prints were found. Six days later, the building
mysteriously caught fire and burned to the ground.

Description: Atlantic Ocean -- Thor Heyerdahl and
navigator Norman Baker, aboard their boat the Ra II, radioed in that
they had watched a UFO move across the horizon for several minutes
during the early morning hours. It disappeared in a "bright orange
flash." The sighting was not connected with any space launches, but may
have been related to a U.S. Navy Polaris missile launch. Heyerdahl and
his crew were attempting to prove that ancient Egyptians could have
crossed the Atlantic in papyrus boats centuries before Columbus.

saucer descending whistling on the hill. This object was throwing a very
bright green light. When it landed on the hill it started to emit an
incomprehensible music. Finding this strange the peasant ran to report
it to the village chief. The responsible (...) immediately mobilized
hundreds of militiamen to surround the hill. That night the sky was
covered and black as ink. (...) But after an hour, the flying object,
ejecting a powerful white light, forced the line of militiamen and
quickly rose into the sky. (1970, Summer)

Description: Paul Foster, in the St. Helliers section
of Auckland, New Zealand, saw a figure about 20 yards away from him
while working on a car. It was facing in the opposite direction. Viewed
from the rear, the humanoid was about 5'9" tall and wore a one-piece
blue coverall, the legs of which were tucked into mud covered boots. The
man carried a leather case on his left hip attached to a strap over his
right shoulder, and was holding a box-like object to his face with a
periscope like extender sticking out and up to the right side. This
periscope device was pointed away from the observer to the north, toward
the sun. The figure was blond with short-cropped hair. He walked
dragging his feet, as if fatigued. Foster glanced away thinking it was
perhaps a mailman, but when he realized it was Sunday, he knew this
could not be. When he again looked up the figure had gone. Foster rushed
out in search of him but could find no trace.

Location: BRAZIL, Rio de Janeiro
Description: (Translated from French) Joao Aguiar, a
policeman, drew the attention of Mrs. Nazaré to what was happening in
front of them in the sea: was a boat capsizing, with water spraying out
in all directions? The occupants of the boat were in the water and
gesticulating in their shiny clothes with something on their heads. They
then seemed to be working on the boat's dome! It had a non-shiny
metallic look and measured 4 to 6 meters. The policeman went to get
help, Mrs. Nazaré and her family watched through binoculars. The
phenomenon was 700 or 1000m away. After 20 minutes of immobility, the
object approached a rocky outcrop 100m from the beach and stayed there
for half an hour. Then it took off towards the southeast, gliding on the
surface of the water with the sound of a motorboat. At that moment the
policeman returned and observed the UFO with other witnesses. Its lower
part was hexagonal with colored lights, green-yellow, white-red.
Appearing metallic on the water, once in flight it seemed transparent
and they saw two passengers seated inside. It disappeared silently. At
the spot where the craft had been, one of the children saw a kind of
white hoop, which disappeared, reappeared in the company of a yellow
body, which floated half-emerged, it floated towards the beach and was
followed by a green fringe. The yellow body made a 90° turn and left
towards Gavea. The white hoop did the same and the witnesses lost sight
of them. (Inforespace n° 8, p. 34, 35) Mrs. Maria Machado was looking
out the window while preparing dinner and saw a gray disc, topped with a
transparent dome, sailing on the ocean. Two silhouettes in luminous
clothing were working on the deck. After 40 minutes the object left,
leaving behind it a white mass floating towards the distance.

on the ocean 700-1000 yards away, throwing spray up on all sides. It
floated 100 yards closer to shore and they could see that it had a
transparent cupola, outside of which were two short, thickset figures
wearing dark gray metallic coveralls and helmets. After 30-40 minutes
the object took off nearly horizontally. Underneath it showed red,
green, and yellow lights. It left behind it a white, floating hoop
shaped object and a yellow ball, both of which were lost from view as
they floated toward the shore.

Description: (Translated from French) ... one evening
at 9 o'clock, my comrades and I were walking on the way back after a
movie session. Hardly arrived in front of the improvised office on a
deserted ground, we saw in the sky, in the northeast, a yellow lantern.
More than ten people were already there to watch. (...) It was a
luminous object in the shape of a hat inclined of 90°: its apparent
diameter was more than one third of a meter. The whole seemed to be in a
glass mask. The part of the dome appeared less transparent than the
rest. The central part was brilliantly illuminated as if there was a
powerful lamp inside. The luminosity remained stable during two minutes.
When the object passed above us, it was at a hundred meters of the
ground. My colleague Zhou Paizhong ... immediately had the idea to go
and get a long view ... The object occupied the whole field of the
eyepiece but we did not see the details of the inside of the luminous
hat, which was heading towards the southwest and was getting further and
further away, to finally become a small point in the eyepiece of our
theodolite. (1970, beginning of July)

bouncing back and forth for 15 minutes as a series of red lights flash
in sequence across it. The size is about 25–30 feet wide. The
streetlight has gone out and comes back on when the object leaves. Her
son and brother-in-law later find three imprints 30–40 feet apart in the
shape of a triangle in the meadow. They also find circles impressed in
the grass, the largest 15–20 feet in diameter. Then they find tracks
“going to the creek like they had dragged some small round thing into
the ditch” as well as “two sets of a dozen imprints which were about two
feet apart. They were curved like raindrops. It was very visible, the
grass was all crushed down, there was mud on the banks of the creek, and
there were signs of the tracks in the mud.” One week later, the light
returns and crosses the field across the street. The family television,
the car ignition, and the telephone behave strangely for days
afterward.

Description: Sequoyah Trueblood was sitting by his pool
at his townhouse in Laurel, Maryland, watching his children swimming
with his wife sitting next to him. Without knowing why, he felt
compelled to leave. He got up, went into the house, changed his clothes,
packed a small bag, drove to the airport and took a plane to Oklahoma
City. A friend then drove him to Norman, Oklahoma. He felt strange and
wanted to lie down, so went to lie down in his friend's bedroom. He was
lying down relaxing when he saw a vortex of swirling lights "like a
rainbow" into which he was sucked. Mr. Trueblood then found himself
standing in a beautiful garden surrounded by hedges. He felt wide awake.
In front of him he saw a silvery saucer-shaped craft and a shimmering
small silver being standing on steps that came down from the bottom of
the craft. The being had a grayish complexion and had a large baldhead
with large eyes. The witness sensed that the being was "androgynous,"
neither male nor female. The being communicated telepathically and told
him that he had been sent to take him because "they" wanted to talk to
him. He agreed to go and walked up the steps. Once inside the craft he
heard no sound, but through a small window he could see the moon, the
sun, and "millions of stars" go by in an instant. Soon the craft was
hovering over a beautiful white city in what he believed was another
planet or universe. He next found himself down on the ground. The people
in the city appeared to be both male and female, wore white robes, and
were fair skinned with "hair that was glowing like the color of
sunlight." The small being then took him down a street lined with
beautiful white buildings three stories tall to a clearing in the woods
that seemed like a park. There were a number of people there, and a male
said to him that if he would "pay attention." The people told him that
they did not need food, for the air they breathed was converted into
what was needed to sustain life. A leader figure told him that he had
been brought here to show him the potential of the human race. Soon he
asked to be returned, and was taken back into the craft, through the
vortex, and found himself back in bed.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 5 pm, a
UFO descended slowly from the sky and landed in a field (...) The
witness is named Cheng Gangdang. He was in a field with his wife to pull
out wild grasses, when they suddenly heard a strange noise above them.
They looked up and saw an object flying as bright as a diamond. The
object was transparent. Its diameter was about 3 arms. The bottom was
pointed and the top was conical. Several lights were seen on the body of
the object, like electric bulbs, which lit up in turn. Inside, it seemed
that there were many instruments. The object flew quickly spinning on
itself and it was surrounded by a misty halo. (...) The unknown object
descended slowly near a fruit tree and landed without ceasing to spin
like a top. This object did not make any noise when it turned (...) Its
rotation speed resembled that of children's tops. On the ground it did
not leave any clear traces. Ten minutes after its landing, the object
raised a cloud of dust and it rose quickly spinning. First it moved back
to the north, then when it reached a certain height in the sky, it flew
away in a flash towards the south. In a blink of an eye it had
disappeared. (July 12, 1970)

Location: BRAZIL, Papagayos (Canelinha)
Description: (Translated from French) Joao Battista
Marcellino was riding his bicycle towards Papagayos on a particularly
deserted road. He was surprised to see some kind of headlights coming
down from the sky, with a deafening noise. He felt he was suddenly
suspended in the air and made desperate efforts to get off his bicycle.
This lasted a few minutes, he tried to scream, but no sound came out of
his throat. Finally he felt the bike gently descend to the ground and
started pedaling again but again he was lifted, but this time in
complete silence. The episode otherwise resembled the first one. Finally
he was able to leave and arrived at his brother's house: they then
discovered that a package of beef kidneys he was carrying on his luggage
rack was missing...

resumption of illegal break-ins, electronic surveillance, and expanded
counterintelligence. He approves the plan in July but will not sign it;
neither will Haldeman or Ehrlichman. The plan was originally put
together by Huston. Hoover torpedoes it when he announces that he will
go along with it as soon as he gets written authorization from Nixon for
all those break-ins and wiretaps.

Location: FRANCE, Jabreilles-les-Bordes
Description: (Translated from French) Etienne Géry, 16
years old, an apprentice baker, decided in the afternoon to go for a
walk with the hope of discovering mushrooms. He took a familiar route,
climbing a small slope. He passed the summit, the vegetation was very
dense at this time, the ferns almost reaching the size of a man.
Suddenly, between the ferns he distinguished something abnormal: a kind
of dome of metallic appearance was there barely 15 m from him. At first
intrigued, he stopped, then driven by curiosity he took two more
cautious steps. With a stick he parted the curtain of ferns. In doing
so, he was dazzled by a very bright yellow-orange light emanating from
three kinds of rectangular tiles located just under the dome. In any
case, the intensity of the light was such that it seemed to him that the
top of the dome was separated from the lower part of the object.
Etienne's curiosity turned into intense fear. He felt paralyzed, unable
to make a move, neither to advance nor to flee. The cupola suddenly
began to rise slowly, followed by the shell and the whole of the machine
emerged from the screen of ferns. The orange beam followed the ascent of
the object and Etienne was no longer dazzled. He then distinguished 3 or
4 circular portholes in the middle of the lower part as if they were
part of a row that would have gone around it. He estimated the length of
the machine at 5 or 6 meters and the height at 2.50 m to 3 m and
compared its mass to the importance of a Renault Estafette. On the dome
he noticed 3 antennas: the one on the right measuring about 1.50 m, the
one on the left inclined to the left 60 cm and the one in the middle
standing vertically 45 cm. The antennas seemed rigid to him. They did
not oscillate during the ascent. He did not perceive any silhouette
behind the portholes. Suddenly the object began to rise, accompanied by
a shrill whistle. On the underside four absolutely identical supports
were as if they had come out of 4 holes. Each one ended with a flat or
slightly convex sole, longer than wide. The four feet retracted into the
lower part, the object tilted, took a normal attitude and moved away.
During the elevation of the machine Etienne felt a feeling of heat. Once
at an altitude of about 100 m the object took off at a lightning speed
and disappeared in 2 or 3 seconds on the north-north-west horizon.

Jabreilles-les-Bordes, Haute-Vienne, France. He is blinded by a
yellow-orange light beam and paralyzed by fright. As the object ascends
with a whistling sound, he feels a wave of heat. At 330 feet altitude,
the object jumps vertically and disappears behind a mountain. Four
imprints are found forming an irregular figure on the hillside.

Description: Day. A group of Russian hydrologists are
conducting research on a motorboat on Kronotsky Lake, Kamchatka Krai,
Russia. Suddenly, about a half-mile away a dome of water rises up and a
gray-colored oval object rises up. It is roughly 165 feet in diameter,
rises to about 500 feet, and hovers nearly overhead. The engine of the
motorboat stalls. The team watches for another 90 seconds before they
row away, but the object moves away at reat speed and disappears. The
boat’s motor starts working again.

Location: SPAIN, Cazalla de la Sierra
Description: (Translated from French) It was 10:45 pm
when the dogs started barking violently. When they went outside, the
people found themselves in front of a two-meter-long rectangle standing
on the ground. It could have been likened to a door or a window. It was
visible on a moonless night and was luminous with a matte white that
suggested a "screen" to the witnesses. The dogs stayed about fifteen
meters away from the thing, attacking it from time to time with their
hair standing on end. One of the two men present approached up to 10
meters and addressed the apparition in these terms: "What do you want?
Who are you? Come on! Let someone come out!" The other went to get his
gun. When he came back, the thing was off, it no longer existed...

Description: Around 4:30 a.m. between Plasencia and
Bejar, Caceres, Spain a man was driving through a forest when he sighted
a brightly lit, yard-wide sphere in the sky that stopped, descended
vertically into a clearing in the forest, and then darkened. At 10:45
p.m. a UFO in Cazalla de la Sierra, Seville, Spain caused the furious
barking of two dogs. What appeared before the four witnesses was a
two-dimensional illuminated 2 m by 1 m rectangle, hovering in the sky
only ten meters away, perpendicular to the ground, which blocked the
view of the vegetation behind it. It vanished when a gun was pointed in
its direction.

Description: Evening. Contactee Paul
Solem, who
has managed to convince a number of Hopi Indian elders, among them Chief
Dan
Katchongva, that he is a
true prophet heralding the coming of a True White Brother, publicly
summons his space brother friends telepathically for 15 minutes in
Prescott, Arizona, where UFOs have been reported over the previous few
days. After Solem announces that “they’re here,” a “star” appears that
had not been there before and Solem receives a message from space
brother Paul 2, who tells him that the saucers are appearing because of
a Hopi prophecy. Others see zigzagging lights in the sky over the next
few nights, and Prescott Courier photographer Chuck
Roberts takes a time-lapse photo of one.

Location: DENMARK, between Kabdrup and Fjelstrup
Description: (Translated from French) At 10:50 PM,
Evald Hansen Maarup, a police officer, was returning to his home in
Knud, in a police car. Between Kabdrup and Fjelstrup, as he was driving
down a slight dip, the witness recounts: I was driving alone in the
patrol car. Suddenly the car was plunged into a light of whitish-blue
and at the same time the engine stopped. All the lights of the car went
out, even the ignition light. I pulled over to the side and stopped. The
dazzling external light, like neon, was so blinding that I couldn't see
anything. To protect myself from the light I covered my eyes with my arm
and managed to find the radio by feeling around. When I had my hand on
the microphone and tried to call the station, I noticed that the radio
was just as dead as the rest of the electrical equipment on board. The
temperature inside the car rose and became pleasantly warm. It was like
driving in the sun in summer. After a while the light rose. It was a
light in the shape of a cone, with a base of 4 to 5 m in diameter. As I
looked up, leaning forward, I could see that the upper end of the
luminous cone was at the base of a large gray thing. No sound came from
this object. After a few seconds the light was drawn inside. It is
difficult to explain how. The light did not go out but its inner surface
rose in such a way that the space under the luminous cone was plunged
into darkness. The light was pulled up in about five minutes. I got out
of the car and saw how the last part of the cone of light disappeared
inside the lower part of the thing, through a hole whose diameter was
around a meter. When the light had disappeared inside the object it
began to move. It disappeared in a few seconds, rising vertically into
the air. It accelerated strongly, still without the slightest sound. As
the object moved away all the lights of the car's electrical system came
back on.

Description: The witness, who was staying at his
parents home that night, felt a strange compulsion to go out and drive
to nearby Lake Michigan in order to watch the sky. He had arrived at the
shore near Good Hart, Michigan at around 10:30 p.m. when a very bright
light caught his eye. It seemed to have a descending trajectory, and he
discounted any mundane explanation for what he saw. Watching through a
telescope, he realized that the craft had orange, yellow, green and blue
indigo lights. He could now see a large disc-shaped outline that glided
lower towards his position. He saw a very brightly lit, large
cartouche-shaped window. Inside he caught a glimpse of some figures who
seemed to be peering over a console or instrument panel. The craft
descended silently behind a rise about 100 yards from the witness. It
hovered for a moment, then settled down on the beach.
For
15-20 minutes he saw no movement around the object, and so, curious, he
walked towards it. The air around the UFO felt warm. He stopped about 50
feet from the huge object and heard a metallic sound. By the faint light
available he saw a ramp come snaking out of the side of the ship toward
him. The ramp sloped up to the blank hull. There was no opening visible,
just a long ramp like a tongue sticking out from the side and burying
itself in the sand just ahead of the witness. Without giving it much
thought he walked up the ramp, and as he approached the hull seemed to
dissolve ahead of him. He walked through an opening that appeared in his
path. The interior of the ship resembled terra-cotta stone, and there
was a soft illumination that emanated from the walls. It was comfortably
cool inside and the air smelled of sage and cinnamon. He was in a
corridor that stretched ahead of him in both directions until it
disappeared beyond inside walls. Various small openings with little
handles and knobs were situated at what appeared to be random locations
along the corridor. He walked to his left down the corridor, the aroma
of sage and cinnamon pervasive and persisting. He soon found a door and
realized that the passage behind him was closing itself off into a door
as well.
He walked into what appeared to be a central core of
the object. Moments later he came upon an improbably placed viewing
plate in which he could see the south end of Lake Michigan and lights
from the nearby Big Rock Nuclear Power Plant. As he spoke to himself,
his voice echoed strangely through the confines of the ship. He noticed
to his right a view plate. He caught a glance through the darkened glass
of several creatures that seemed to be at the controls. He looked inside
the control room and saw five figures all with their backs to him. The
figures were humanoid in form with large heads. They seemed to be
occupied with a series of procedures. The five were all dressed in a
similar style. The outfits were form-fitted, and tended to give off a
bluish glow. The middle figure turned slowly to face him. The eyes of
the humanoid were much larger than a human's and spread farther around
the sides of the head. No nose was visible, with flat cheekbones,
lending a somewhat rotund appearance to the face .
At one
point the witness saw himself in his own mind, apparently the way the
creatures perceived him. The beings communicated via telepathy and he
was escorted into another room where he was sat in a chair with knobs
and controls in front of it. There he saw 3-D images flash through his
mind at very high speed. At one point the aliens brought him a small
cube-shaped container that contained a dark blue liquid, which he was
told to drink. The aliens spoke among each other in a strange singsong
language. He was told that, among other things, that the speed of light
was "imaginary." He received the impression that the craft was
impossibly larger inside than what it looked like from the outside. The
aliens told him that their main interest in coming to earth was water.
He was eventually deposited back at the same spot on the beach where he
was initially picked up.

Description: (Translated from French) The television
film had just finished when an intense whistling sound was heard, the
image blurred. It was impossible to restore it. As it was late, the
witness turned off the receiver and went to the garden door to find the
cause of the whistling. Astonished, she saw in the middle of the garage
driveway a thing equipped with many lights, near which a man was
standing looking at the lucerne field. She was so scared that she went
back and locked herself in. After a moment she heard the same whistling
again. Soon after, looking out the window, the thing had disappeared.
The craft was about the size of a car: 4 m wide, 2.50 m high, of which
60 cm for the supports. An ellipsoid silver with a transparent
hemispherical dome, at the top a white-bluish light that turned slowly.
On the circumference of the object a gallery of small lights of various
colors: white, violet, yellowish. The man was about 1.80 m tall, was
dressed in a tight dark garment, his head tightly in a bonnet of the
same color. Around the wrists, ankles and waist, he wore shiny
bracelets. He looked at the field and suddenly walked quickly towards
the UFO. At the place where the craft landed the ground shone: up close
there were dark marks, like boot prints. These traces persisted for
several days: during the day they were black, at night they shone
slightly.

Description: Thirty minutes later, a 22-year-old woman
in Puente De Herrera, Valladolid province, Spain heard a loud whistling
sound accompanied by TV interference at one o'clock in the morning.
Opening the door to her house she saw a silvery Saturn-shaped object
standing on legs. On top was a transparent cupola bearing a bluish-white
rotating light; and around its perimeter were other multi-colored
lights. A few feet away stood a tall man dressed in a dark blue or black
tight-fitting uniform. It had a close fitting hood of the same color
with shining white wrist bands, anklets, and a buckle. The man was
examining a nearby field of alfalfa. He then turned and took long
strides toward the UFO, which was approximately 30 meters from the
witness. She closed her door, frightened about being discovered, but
heard the intense whistling sound again as the object took off.
Footprints were found in the area, and for several nights the site where
the UFO had landed glowed at night.

bushes just outside school grounds. From each of the objects emerged a
three inch tall humanoid. As he approached the UFOs the school bell rang
and he returned to class and did not see the objects depart. After
school six school boys in the same village reported seeing a very small
disc-shaped object, blue in color, land in some bushes near their
school. Five little men described as merely three inches tall emerged
from the object. One was dressed in a yellow suit and the other four
wore blue uniforms. They were seen installing some type of aerial on a
tree branch that apparently sent out signals. The boys became frightened
and ran away.

Description: At 6:30 a.m. several young boys in Bukit
Mertajam, Penang province, Malaysia encountered a round blue object on
the ground, and several three inch tall ugly humanoids stood around the
object. One of the humanoids took out an object resembling a gun and
shot one of the boys on his hand when the boy attempted to grab him. The
boys ran to get their teachers but upon returning to the site the object
and the creatures were gone. Later that same day the same young witness
from the previous day encountered a small UFO on the ground near the
school compound. Five three-inch tall humanoids emerged from the object.
One of them, who appeared to be the leader, wore a yellow uniform and
had two horn-like protrusions on his head. The other four wore blue
uniforms. The leader pointed a weapon at the witness and shot at him.
The witness blacked out and was found later lying in the bushes. He
regained consciousness later, and a small red dot appeared on his leg
where he had been shot by the creature. Two other boys in the same
village went out looking for the reported small UFO and spotted two tiny
men among some bushes. One was on a rock and the other on a tree branch.
Both figures were dressed in yellow suits, and one had only one arm and
appeared to be holding a small gun. The boys attempted to capture the
entities but they got away. That evening the young son of a local
high-ranking police official was returning from school when he saw two
tiny figures hiding in the bushes near the school compound. As he tried
to capture them he was shot in the hand and received a small cut.

tall.
The beings got to within 50 feet of a house and then
turned and walked away, side-by-side, to a nearby railroad crossing.
They stood there for a few minutes, then walked a short distance towards

Description: 11:15 p.m. Several witnesses in Enebacken,
Sweden, see a bright, round, red light maneuvering around the ground,
emitting beams of yellow-white light. Three round landing marks in a
triangular formation are found in the garden of Richard Johansson’s
small farm near Lake Anten. Soil samples are taken and analyzed, with
the results showing an increased level of gamma radiation in the test
samples from one of the landing marks.

Description: At 11:30 p.m. 18 witnesses from six
families watched an oblong or oval shaped object with a cupola during a
close encounter near a lake in Enebacken, Sweden. The UFO changed color
from red to orange to red as it moved about. The trees were illuminated
by the close approach of the object, and it made a humming noise. The
sighting lasted for two hours. Three round depressions were found in the
grass were the object apparently landed. The depressions were 40 cm in
diameter, 5-7 cm deep, and arranged in an equilateral triangle 3 meters
apart.

Description: (Translated from French) This Sunday,
Altamiro Martin de Freitas of the dam security was making his rounds in
the rain. Around 9:30 PM he saw something floating in the air emitting
multicolored lights. As he approached the object he noticed that all the
lights belonged to a silent and motionless structure, shaped like an
elongated shell or bus, floating one meter above the ground. There were
15 rectangular portholes, about one meter long and 80 cm wide, with
rounded corners. The object must have measured 20 m long and 3 m high.
He started to crawl and drew his 9.4 mm Taurus 38. He fired once at 12 m
from the object, which started to blink faster. Aiming carefully, he
fired a second time. The blinking rhythm became so fast that he could no
longer distinguish the extinguishing. A higher-pitched sound than that
of a jet engine was heard. He was about to fire a third time when the
object emitted a light in the form of a very intense white-blue ray that
blinded and completely paralyzed the witness. Taken to the Guanabara
hospital, he gradually recovered his mobility, but he remained blind for
more than ten days, although ophthalmologists could not detect any
serious injury. The investigation revealed that at the place where
Altamiro had seen the object, the ground was dry in the middle of a bog
resulting from continuous rain. Moreover, a woman from the state of
Minas Gerais experienced a similar adventure. (Henry DURRANT: The UFO

others should have seen it, too, because it was so low. He, his wife,

Description: After an argument with her mother in Sao
Joa da Boa Vista, Sao Paulo, Brazil 17-year-old Valeria was upset and
drove away from her house with her brother. They parked the car in an
isolated area at 7:30 p.m. to smoke cigarettes and relax. They soon
heard a loud buzzing sound similar to those emitted by crickets. The
sound rose in intensity until it became unbearable. At that moment
Valeria's mind seemed to go blank and she did not come to until 10:15
p.m. After the incident Valeria suffered from strange dreams of
lights.
During a hypnotic regression session she remembered
being in the car and hearing the loud humming sound. Moments later she
found herself inside a room illuminated by an orange light. The room was
very cold and she felt a tingling sensation on her hands. She was lying
on top of a "bed" and she could not move her head. At first she could
only see what appeared to be luminous spheres floating around her.
Suddenly she felt someone holding down her hands. A figure then stood in
front of her. She described the figure as short, with a large hairless
head and dark eyes. Soon a sort of cable with what appeared to be a
needle on its tip was introduced into her nose. The needle emitted a
greenish liquid. A small implant was also apparently inserted between
her eyes. Moments later a small cut was made on one of her big toes, but
she did not bleed or felt any pain. A voice in her head told her that
she was being implanted in order to facilitate future contacts. Soon one
of the short humanoids approached her and took her on an "astral"
journey. Both traveled through the solar system, around Saturn and the
Sun and even inside the earth's interior. Soon awoke back in the
car.

Description: In Jessup, Pennsylvania a 16-year-old boy
was returning home from a high school football game at ten o’clock at
night when, three blocks from his home, he sighted a disc-shaped UFO. It
was silver-aluminum in color and approximately 1,000 feet in length. It
had a turret on top surrounded by a row of windows. The underside had
three large spheres, with a central flat disk. It was glowing white. The
sky was clear and the object moved silently across the night sky in an
easterly direction. While deciding whether to report this incident or
not, the witness was peering out his kitchen window and sighted a large
black limousine. He could see it quite clearly because there was a
street lamp directly across the street from his house. Four occupants
were in the vehicle. Two were seated in the front, and two in the back.
Each had on dark suits and hats similar to those worn in the 1940's.
They sat in their vehicle, motionless. They returned for the next
several evenings. There was no verbal or physical contact with the
strangers.

Description: (Translated from French) Lellier Case. Ms.
Gabriel Lellier (59 years old) from Latourelle Street was the victim on
October 5, 1970, of numerous physical discomforts, caused by a very
bright object and a kind of vapor that she had seen from her apartment
around 4:30 in the morning. She had gotten up because she could no
longer sleep, as often happens to her. She headed to her living room to
sit down; suddenly she saw bright orange beams entering her living room
through the window that faced the house across the street and Laruelle
Street. She rushed to the window and, looking up to the sky, she saw a
very bright orange disc. She then realized that her gaze was fixed on
the object, that she could not move, her body was completely paralyzed.
After 30 seconds the object descended to almost the top of the house
across the street. It had tripled in size. It was now surrounded by a
very bright white halo that lit up the entire sky. In the center of the
red ball, Ms. Lellier could make out a black object spinning quickly,
giving her the impression that it was a camera. Thirty seconds later she
saw the object rise up at a dizzying speed. Its ascent was accompanied
by a long luminous trail. Ms. Lellier could now move and she headed to
the door that opened onto the gallery, opened it, put her foot outside
and suddenly saw a series of two or three small white clouds, floating
in a kind of thick fog that was only in the back yard. Without wanting
to, she entered the first cloud and immediately felt her throat seized.
A horrible gas smell had taken her and in one go she felt suffocated.
Feeling faint, she ran back into the house and collapsed onto her bed,
losing consciousness. An hour and five minutes later she woke up and her
eyes hurt terribly. Looking in the mirror she saw that her hair had
turned yellow and she had the deep feeling of giving off electricity.
(...) Health problems for weeks...

Description: At 6:10 a.m. in Sheerwater, Nova Scotia
radar picked up an unidentified flying object, and an orange, yellow,
and green object trailing white smoke and emitting a high-pitched whine.
Horses were frightened by the presence of the UFO. At 9:00 a.m. a
59-year-old woman in saw a luminous orange object descend very low over
some houses in Montreal, Quebec. She described the object as a very
luminous orange circle surrounded by a sparkling white halo. Inside the
circle she saw a small black object pivoting upon itself. During this
time she realized that she was paralyzed and couldn't move. After a
minute the object ascended rapidly into the sky, leaving a long trail
behind it. She wanted to get some air and stepped out onto her balcony.
She confronted a very heavy mist and a strong odor, which had a choking
effect upon her. She went back inside, fainted, came to 10-15 minutes
later with her eyes burning, her head feeling hot and heavy, and quite
stunned. She felt electrical jolts in her body, and her hair had turned
yellow in color. Her diabetes also manifested itself in an alarming
fashion. UFO report involving physiological effects occurred in Quebec
City, Quebec. At 9:00 p.m. that night in Saint-Romuald, Quebec two
witnesses saw a elongated, luminous flying object. Their car radio had
heavy static during the sighting.

Description: (Translated from French) Charged with
recovering the wreckage of the Lightning crashed on September
8th, the HMS Kiddleston of the Royal Navy is conducting
searches, but it is impossible to find the body of Captain Schaffner.
The wreckage is stored at the Binbrook base and not shipped to
Farnborough where the expertise is usually done. Dispatched on site, the
official investigators are surprised to have only limited access to the
wreckage and to be watched by 5 civilians, including 2 Americans. They
note that the cockpit and ejection seat are intact, but that in
violation of regulations, most of the on-board instruments have been
removed. A few hours later, they are asked to end their investigation.
Summoned by their superiors upon their return to Farnborough, they are
ordered to remain silent on the matter in the name of national security.
As for the fighter wreckage, it is shipped to Wright-Patterson
(Ohio). (October 7th)

Description: 1:00 a.m. Gerald Adams and Donna Martin
are parked on a dirt road 3–4 miles north and a half-mile west of
MacGregor, Manitoba. They notice a bright light approaching from about a
half-mile away. When it lands 150 feet from them, they notice it is an
oblong object 8 feet in diameter with 9 “rods” and a red light on top.
Adams takes Martin home but returns to the site. The object has moved
farther away and is hovering above the ground. As he drives closer, he
sees a humanoid entity about 4 feet tall dressed in a helmet and a
silver metallic uniform crossing the road about 50 feet in front of him.
He brakes, but the entity has gone. The UFO slowly lifts vertically from
the ground and speeds away to the northwest.

this evening outside MacGregor, Manitoba when they sighted a glowing
yellowish-white football-shaped object resting on a nearby field. One of
the witnesses approached the object on foot but became frightened and
ran back to the car. As they drove away they noticed a silver-suited
figure walking towards them. They accelerated the vehicle and sped away.
Later one of them returned and saw the object hovering over the
area.

Description: (Translated from French) At 4:00 PM, Pedro
Machado and his son Euripide were grooming a cow separated from the herd
with its calf. The cow was tied up not far from the paddock and the
one-month-old calf was free at 5 m from its mother. The herd began to
stir and moo, as well as the separated cow, which was looking at its
calf with insistence. The calf also began to bellow. Astonished, the
farmers saw the calf being carried in the air at 1 m from the ground,
horizontally, towards the meadow, until a point at 20 m from its
starting point, while they themselves felt paralyzed, unable to make a
move. Suddenly, the calf, which was now silent, made a vertical ascent
that lasted from 3 to 4 minutes, and suddenly disappeared from their
sight in a cloud. (October 25-27, 1970)

Description: 5:40 p.m. Reidar Salvesen is driving about
2 miles east of Helleland, Rogaland, Norway, when a dazzling light
forces him to stop the car. He looks up and sees a globe about 60 feet
in diameter approaching noiselessly. It stops about 18 feet in front of
the car and hovers for 50 seconds about 30 feet up. Suddenly the object
shoots straight up into the air, causing Salvesen to fall on the
pavement. He hears a sharp crack caused by his front windshield
shattering. About 3,200 feet in the air the globe changes to a fireball,
which quickly disappears. After sweeping up the shards of windowpane
glass, he drives on, but feels a numbness in his tongue a few minutes
later. He also has an abrasion on his hand from falling down, but the
skin sloughs off as if burned, and he has a redness around his eyes when
he returns home. His travel clock starts keeping time badly.

hovers above a truck parked a half-mile away. When he comes alongside
the truck, the object moves to the left side of his car about 30 feet

and the object follows suit, hovering for another 10–15 seconds before
disappearing into the lights of Moose Jaw to the west. It has followed
his car for 12 minutes and 10 miles.

bass in Cholla Bay, Sonora, Mexico, when he sees a light in the sky
coming from a saucer-shaped object, which stops and hovers about 200–300
feet above the surface. A light from a tube on the bottom illuminates a
broad stretch of water about one half-mile wide. It changes from a broad
floodlight to a sharp spot on the surface, apparently as it is raised or
lowered. After a few minutes, a cloud forms around the object. After 5
minutes, the searchlight is turned off and a similar light appears on
top of the UFO, illuminating the upper part of the cloud. The object
then moves west and is visible for 20 minutes in all.

Description: At seven o'clock in the evening a compact
"cloud" UFO emitting rays from the top was seen by hundreds in Belo
Horizonte, Brazil during a time when part of the city experienced a
power outage. At the same time Moyses Santos, a resident of the city,
found himself surrounded by half a dozen three-foot tall beings in his
room "who went around touching and upsetting everything." They floated
about in the air, and had a translucent quality. They "looked like ice."
When they got near a table lamp, they "lit up in many lights." One of
them handed Santos a piece of paper on which he drew a flying saucer,
without knowing why. The being then took the paper back. Finally they
disappeared by passing through the walls. He went outside in time to see
the UFO above the city, flooding the area with brilliant light. Other
sightings occurred about the same time in several Brazilian
cities.

High School is riding his bicycle home at Tatebayasi, Gunma Prefecture,
Japan, when he sees 5–6 objects flying in formation on a straight path
from northeast to southwest. Seconds later, a solitary object appears to
the north and approaches swiftly. The student parks his bicycle and runs
up some steps to a raised enclosure for a better view. The single UFO
changes course and circles several times, descending slowly. It then
hovers, climbs, and disappears. The student gets back on his bike and
sees a bright flash of white light to the southeast, which startles him
and he pedals home quickly. The student returns the next day to the
enclosure, which is actually a raised tombstone. He finds four circular
patches of flattened grass.

watched a very bright object approach their house at 7:15 a.m. It seemed
to have a central dome with a revolving ring around it and was deep
orange in the center. The craft tilted slightly to one side, hovered
briefly over some nearby power lines, then brightened while making a low
sweep over the area. Two of the witnesses saw what appeared to be a gray
colored "shape" drop from the object and scurry away into the woods
before the UFO departed. Later that week a mysterious dark "prowler" was
seen peering through windows.

Description: Two independent sets of photographs
showing luminous balls of light in motion were taken on this night in
Alamogordo, New Mexico. Three teenagers--Larsh, Neal, and Sellars--took
a photograph of two lights in parallel motion at 10:00 p.m. They had had
sightings of similar phenomena earlier in the week and were prepared to
take a time exposure on this night. They made their photograph using a
Pentax camera on a tripod. The two lights were also seen by another
resident, Hjalmar Bowlby, earlier that same evening. Remarkably, they
weren't the only ones who were able to catch an image of a UFO using a
camera that night. At 10:35 p.m. Jerry Mozer, also of Alamogordo, New
Mexico took a photo of a luminous point in motion, making an abrupt
change of course resulting in a "buttonhook" effect on the image. Both
photographs are reproduced below.

Description: Author Preston Nichols claims he begins
working for AIL-Eaton, a defense contractor on Long Island. He claims he
begins working on a series of exotic projects at Camp Hero in Montauk,
NY, which allegedly did some experiments at Brookhaven National
Laboratory.
Note: Brookhaven is linked to claims of a UAP crash on 24 November 1992 with little corroborating information. A MUFON report at the time suggested a video showed a large fire of an unknown object, large parts being driven away on flatbeds, special access by Brookhaven personnel, county police turned away by men in black jumpsuits and multiple eyewitness testimony of lights flying erratically over the crash site.

Description: Alleged AIL-Eaton contractor Preston
Nichols claims experiments in consciousness manifestation began at Camp
Hero, culminating with the “Montauk Chair,” which could change thought
into reality. Nichols claims Project Phoenix III worked
on time travel aspects of consciousness manifestation, and teleportation
to other locations began in 1982. Nichols claims Project
Rainbow began in 1983 and accidentally manifested an entity
that destroyed some of the base and its personnel, thereby ending
psychic operations at Camp Hero.
Note: Nichols made these allegations in a book in 1992 with no independent sourcing. Over the next decade, Duncan Cameron, Steward Swerdlow and Al Bielek claimed to have been participants in Montauk activities too, though none provided any proof. Somewhat dubiously, all claim to have “remembered” what happened at the facility after they began communicating.
Later, Bielek began to claim he and Cameron served in the Philadelphia Experiment (see April 1956) and that he time traveled to the 1980s to work on the Montauk programs. Bielek changed his story several times and there is no proof he was ever in the US Navy as he claims.
Uri Geller does “corroborate” the existence of a Project Phoenix at the facility.
Note: Lawyer Andrew Basiago claims he was experimented on in a DARPA Project Pegasus that utilized the “Montauk chair” to view different scenes in time. He has provided no evidence of these claims.

Location: Saapunki, Kuusano, Finland
Description: 6:15 a.m. Maun and Matta Talana are
drinking coffee when they see a brilliant light approaching from the
lake outside their home at Saapunki, Kuusano, Finland. It is about 33
feet in diameter and moving against the wind. Their electricity goes off
briefly. Looking out the window, the Talalas see their whole yard bathed
in light caused by a huge fireball about 60 feet away, which rises up
and disappears after a few seconds. Around 8:30 a.m., their son Timo
asks them what the marks are in the snow outside. He has noticed a spot
of hard green ice that is not covered with snow. Mauno takes some green
ice and melts it into dark green water. The melted area is about 20 feet
long by 10 feet wide, in the middle of which are ice needles as big as
fingers with a ball of ice on top and some soot. The following day, he
tells the newspaper, which sends a photographer to the site. UFO
researchers from Oulu arrive on January 6 and take samples from the
melted area and measure radiation.

Description: (Translated from French) Richard Williams
said he observed an object 25 to 30 feet in shape of a diamond, equipped
with white lights and two exhaust nozzles. The object initially looked
like a bat, with wings wider than those of an airplane. In the middle of
each wing it seemed there was a missile or a nozzle. The object had red
and white lights on the wings and tail. (note of vog: did it perhaps
look like a Convair Delta trainer?... or another plane of the same
kind?) The object hovered first at about 100 feet from the ground before
catapulting upwards. He thought he could make out a creature inside the
object. In the back of the cockpit there was a blinking light. The
sheriff's office of Huron County received 18 reports concerning this
object

Description: At 9:05 p.m. Richard Williams, his wife,
and son were driving toward Willard, Ohio from the north when they saw a
low flying object that "looked like a bat" coming toward their car. "On
the middle of each wing there seemed to be a rocket or a jet engine, and
it had red and white lights on each wing and on the tails." They thought
at first it was a plane crashing. It was 25-30 feet in diameter and came
to within 100 feet off their car and then took off toward the east.
There was a transparent "cockpit" in the front of the object, through
which could be seen the movements of some kind of humanoid creature,
silhouetted by a flashing light behind it. Multiple reports of UFO
sightings this night came from Tiro, Sandusky, and other sections of
Huron County, Ohio around the same time.

quoted as saying that the “state governor” shows up regularly and looks
for “little stones” in the nearby woods. Always dressed in black, he
arrives via an airplane “made of two dishes, like, one atop the other,
and when it goes up in the air it changes color and then disappears
quicker than a flash.”

Manninen were driving from Kuusamo, Finland towards Oulu at 8 p.m. when
in the town of Kiiminki they observed a light behind the car on the
right hand side of the road. After some time the light passed over to
the left side of the road, during which the ears of Mrs. Kuittinen
plugged up. When they came to a field the light disappeared. Suddenly
Mrs. Kuittinen, who was driving, saw a one meter tall creature with a
helmet on its head. It was clad in a brown-green coverall suit and
crossed the road using small jumps, disappearing on the other side of
the road. There were no houses or other buildings in the area. The women
were very scared and did not stop to investigate if it had left tracks,
but drove straight to Oulu.

metallic object, shaped like two saucers put together, and with four
thin legs, descending in a clearing 50 feet away. As it landed, a little
entity just under 3-foot tall glided to the ground from an opening in
the underside; dressed in green one-piece "diver's suit," it wore a
helmet with a circular faceplate. (Humcat 1971-6, Tapani Kuningas, FSR

Description: 3:00 p.m. Petter Aliranta and Esko Juhani
Sneck are working in the woods around Kangaskylä, near Kinnula, Finland,
when they see a 15-foot object descend to a clearing 50 feet away. As it
lands, a small entity just under 3 feet tall glides to the ground from
an opening on the underside. Through 3 windows on the UFO, three more
entities can be seen. The entity approaches Aliranta, who turns on his
chain saw. Suddenly, the being turns around and heads back to the UFO.
As the humanoid is rising back up into the air, Aliranta grabs it by the
heel of its boot with his bare hand. It burns him like a hot iron, and
he has to let go. The burns are clearly visible 2 months later. The
humanoid gets back inside, and the UFO takes off with a hum. Before the
two men go back, they look at markings in the snow. At the end of each
landing foot there had ben a round plate. These plates have penetrated
the full depth of the snow (1.3 feet), leaving four round prints forming
an even square 6.5 feet on each side. Circular footprints left by the
entity are clearly visible, about 6 inches wide. Possible hoax.

Kinnula, Finland when Mr. Aliranta noticed a 15 foot wide metallic
saucer-shaped object descend and land on four thin legs in a clearing 50
feet away. After it landed a short entity just under 3 feet tall glided
to the ground from an opening in the underside. It was dressed in a
green one-piece "diver's suit" and wore a helmet with a circular
faceplate. It approached the young men, walking on top of the deep snow,
and Aliranta moved toward it with his power chain saw in hand. Through
three windows in the upper part of the object three more entities could
be seen. The humanoid retreated from Aliranta and was levitating into
the object from underneath when the young man grabbed it by the heel of
its boot with his bare hand. He found that touching it burned like a hot
iron and he had to let go at once. As soon as the being was back inside
the object it ascended with a slight buzzing or humming sound. Both men
felt stiff all over and had difficulty moving. Four landing leg marks
and small footprints were left behind in the snow.

Description: Matt Dickson of Lawton, Oklahoma heard
something out the front of his house early this evening. He looked out
and in the dark caught a glimpse of a vaguely human-like figure kneeling
on the front lawn near a nearby empty fishpond. Curious, Dickson decided
to find out who the stranger was. He stepped out on his front porch for
a better look and was terrified to see a wolf-like man attempting to
scoop up puddles of water from the bottom of the fish pond, crouched on
its hands and knees. The sight was so shocking that Dickson suffered a
heart attack and had to be rushed to Comanche County Memorial Hospital.
In a report to the police Dickson described the creature as tall, with a
lot of hair all over its face and body. It was dressed in an
indescribable manner. Others saw the same or similar creature that same
night.

two-storey Western house, resting in a kind of rock-strewn circus from
which one of the springs emerged. They hid to observe the phenomenon.
After about ten minutes the luminosity of the sphere began to decrease
slowly: they could not determine whether the ball was made of metal or
plastic, it had no openings. Yet soon they saw three beings bustling
around it with strange devices in their hands. They seemed to be looking
for something and frequently looked in all directions. They were much
taller than average and wore some kind of helmets. After a while they
re-entered the sphere just as mysteriously and it took off and went
north.

Location: FRANCE, between Trénal and Condamine
(Jura)
Description: (Translated from French) M. Camus de
Gevingey had a second store in Savigny: he made frequent trips between
the two. That night he was returning around 01:10 and had just passed
the small village of Trénal. A bright light in the distance caught his
attention: it was not on the road, but more to the right. He continued
to drive and quickly approached the place where this light source was
located. He then saw that the lights were regularly arranged on the
ground, on a line parallel to the woods. They were blue-tinted
rectangles like fluorescent lights: he counted eight, the large side
parallel to the ground. Then he almost simultaneously saw a kind of dull
metal dome, about 8 m high and 15 m wide. Continuing to drive, a
surprise awaited him: three beings were there, seeming to be waiting for
him. He will qualify them as animals, so strange was their appearance.
They were on all fours, climbing the embankment. Fear seized him.
Especially when he saw about twenty of these beings in the meadow: some
standing, others on all fours as if they were looking for something. The
three near the tree were brownish, almost black, as if tanned. Their
head had the aspect of an ant's, a rounded lobe framed by two other
lobes swelling like cheeks. The car passed very quickly in front of
them, they did not make any movement. Hardly had he passed them when a
light filled his car: looking in the rearview mirror he had the
impression that he was being shot at point-blank range. From that moment
his fear disappeared. He had time to notice that the beings in the
meadow were smaller and that they had their arms on the ground. Another
feeling overwhelmed him: since he was hit by the beam, he was no longer
aware of what he was doing. He had the impression that his car was
driving alone, and it slowed down from 100 km/h to 20 km/h although it
remained in 4th gear. He did notice that it was slowing down, but it did
not affect him. A few moments later he noticed that the car's hood had
become fluorescent, but this anomaly quickly disappeared. The car was
only driving at 20 km/h and incredibly, it regained its regime on its
own, without his conscious intervention. He did not stop, continued his
journey at 50/60 km/h until Condamine completely disoriented. He only
regained his senses in this village and continued to his home in
Savigny. When undressing he was surprised to see traces of rectangles
from 4 to 6 cm on 2 to 3 cm on the shirt, up to the belt. They were
distributed on the left side; there were 7 or 8 of them. They were
golden yellow, phosphorescent. Very fleeting they only lasted 5 to 6
minutes after he had taken it off. Three days later, brown rectangles
appeared in the same places. It took three or four machine washes before
they disappeared. The paint of the car was altered to the point that
when washing it left green traces on the cloth. Pleasant consequence:
for years M. Camus had suffered from headaches due to a liver disease: 6
months after this encounter he still has not felt any pain either in the
liver or in the head.

Description: Gilbert Camus, a radio technician, was
driving to his shop in Savigny, Jura department, France at 1:10 a.m. He
was between Trenal and Condamine when he noticed lights ahead on the
right side of the road. As he approached, he saw that these were on a
line of eight bluish luminescent rectangles on the ground in a marshy
meadow beside the road. Above them he could distinguish, in the
moonlight, a flattened hemispherical dome, apparently of dark metal,
about 25 feet high and 50 feet wide.
When he got closer to the
object he saw three "animals" on all fours climbing up the road bank.
Their heads were level with his windshield so they "must have been of
great stature." Their heads were shaped like an ant's with "a rounded
lobe flanked by two other lobes swelling out like cheeks." He saw no
faces. In the meadow he could see about 20 more of these beings, some
upright and others on all fours. His car had just passed them when it
filled with a bluish white light from behind, as if a "ray" had been
projected at him. He lost control of the car, which spontaneously slowed
down to about 12 mph, then recovered its initial speed when he reached
the outskirts of Condamine. Later, when he took off his clothes he found
on his shirt, below the belt line, several golden yellow rectangles
about 1" by 2". These disappeared after a few minutes. Three days later
similar chocolate brown rectangular marks appeared on his undershirt,
and these persisted through 3 or 4 washings.
The paint began
to come off his car when he washed it. Most surprisingly, he found
himself cured of a liver ailment, which until then had been giving him
excruciating headaches. A semi-elliptical imprint was found in the
meadow the next day about an inch deep, with a long axis of about 36
feet. Inside the circle dandelions, abundant elsewhere in the meadow
were absent, and where it crossed a drainage ditch the ice in the ditch
had melted, and the water still seemed warm. At the edge of the woods
beside the ground marks a large tree branch was freshly broken off. In
the snow were footprints like those of "shoes without heels", some as
big as 16" long.

Description: Two young men, Brian Scott and Nick
Corbin, were in the Superstition Mountains, near Apache Junction,
Arizona to gather snakes. During that night, at 9:06 p.m., they saw a
light coming towards them over the mountains. As it approached they had
a missing time memory loss, and their next recollection was that they
were hastily leaving the campsite two hours later.
During a
hypnosis session five years later Scott described how the object
approached and hovered over them. It was emitting a purplish light from
underneath, and he felt a "pulsating, pulling feeling" as the two men
were lifted up into the craft. They were separated once they were
inside, and Scott was led by a 7 foot tall entity down a corridor to a
door which "shattered" when they entered through it. On the other side
was a small room filled with mist, where he encountered 4 or 5 similar
beings, 7 foot tall and with grayish skin similar to that of a
crocodile, and with 3 fingered hands. The room was cold and the mist
emanated from vents in the floor.
Scott was stripped and
placed against a very brightly lit wall panel. A machine directly in
front of him appeared to "scan" him, and a new 9-foot-tall entity
communicated with him telepathically and asked why he was afraid. His
mind was briefly transported to some other worldly environment,
presumably the being's home planet. The beings that examined him had
huge ears, no hair, and slit-like mouths. Their feet were elephant like,
with three broad toes. When the examination was completed, Scott was
reunited with his friend and they were both returned to the ground with
no conscious memory of what had taken place. However, they both felt an
unspecified terror to such a degree that they immediately packed their
gear and returned to town.

Description: At 12:30 a.m. six soldiers stationed at a
radar base at Monte Pani, Cabo De Creus, Spain were alerted by another
soldier to a fiery red, disc-shaped craft moving slowly over the area.
The guard dogs began howling, and the men all watched as the UFO
suddenly shot away at high speed. Moments later one of the soldiers
screamed in pain from a sudden bright flash that seemed to come from the
ocean nearby. Meanwhile one of the soldiers released one of the guard
dogs, a wolfhound with a fierce disposition, that was going crazy inside
his cage. The dog ran immediately towards some nearby buildings and was
followed closely by two of the men. The dog slowed down and began to
grow menacingly, and one of the men felt heavy static in the air and his
tongue began to itch. Both men then heard a loud noise coming from some
nearby bushes. They saw a huge bulky figure that seemed to move clumsily
among the brush. The men yelled at the figure to stop but it changed
directions and began moving away quickly. Seconds later the men heard
another noise and felt something heavy moving towards them. They fired
their weapons in the direction of the noise and everything became
silent. A search of the area the next day proved fruitless.

an aboriginal man at Greenhill sees a hairless face pressed up against
his kitchen window. Immediately he is “sucked out” through the window
and falls 7 feet to the steps below. Frightened but largely unhurt, he
runs away and his wife pursues him. She takes him to the hospital where
a cut on his hand is treated.

Description: In 1971, a middle-aged man in Greenhill,
New South Wales, Australia was standing in his kitchen at around 10 p.m.
when he noticed a small entity standing outside. The man, an Australian
aborigine, next felt a sucking force that pulled him outside, smashing
him through a glass window that had an iron bar across it with a
clearance of less than a foot. His wife, hearing the pane of glass
breaking, entered the kitchen in time to see her 5' 2" husband
disappearing horizontally through the lower pane, which was 4.5 feet
from the floor. To jump through it would have been impossible, as it was
only 32 inches wide and only 10 inches in height, and fronted upon the
kitchen sink. The distance to the ground outside was seven feet. The man
was terrified, yet he could not run from the strange being out of fear.
Instead, he went towards it. He was discovered on the ground by a
relative, cut and bruised, seven feet away from the smashed glass. This
strange occurrence took place only hours after a number of people in
nearby Kempsey had observed a strange bright light in the sky.

they saw a yellow white light drop behind a nearby hill. They drove to
the location on a dirt road and found a luminous object hovering just
above the ground over a ploughed field, 80 yards away. It was 25-30 feet
in diameter and shaped like a large bowl inverted over a smaller one. It
had a series of rectangular, vertical windows in the upper half and
round portholes below the rim. There was a red flickering glow from one
of the upper windows, and Miss L. perceived two human like figures
silhouetted in them. The figures appeared to be very tall, perhaps about
10 feet in height. Frightened, they drove away quickly.

Description: Mrs. F, a woman from Greenacre, New South
Wales, Australia and her 13-year-old daughter were going home by taxi at
7:30 p.m. On passing Roberts Park they saw an object hovering over the
lighted field where youths were playing football. The field lights
formed a king of "ceiling" over the field and is unlikely that had they
looked up, the players could have seen anything. The object was
"football shaped," the interior light being "the brightest blue
imaginable." The top portion of the UFO was transparent and the bottom
was a greenish metallic "like gun metal" color with three large
transparent portholes. The object was tilted downward at an angle
revealing three tall humanoid figures, over six feet tall, in the
transparent upper half of the UFO. One of the occupants pointed down at
the witness and then turned toward a rectangular, lighted area. Mrs F.
asked the cabbie, a Greek immigrant, to stop the taxi, but he
accelerated away and drove them straight to her home without stopping.
He left in a frightened state without collecting his fare.

driving on a rural road. It was a very bright, pulsating light. It would
move and stop, move and stop, in a jerking manner. She first thought the
object was something conventional like an aircraft light, but its
strange motion seemed to belie that explanation. The woman stopped the

there was any engine noise, but there was none.

of retrieved UFOs at Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, New
Mexico. It supposedly shows “three disc-shaped craft,” one of which
lands and the other two fly away. A door opens on the landed vehicle and
three human-sized beings emerge with an odd, gray complexion and
pronounced noses. They wear tight-fitting jump suits and thin
headdresses that appear to be communication devices. In their hands they
hold a “translator.” A Holloman base commander and other Air Force
officials go out to meet them.

cycling away, the object takes off, turning in a wide spiral. Rajhs
returns to the scene with her parents the next day and finds several
pointed holes in the ground about 6–8 inches in diameter. The nearby
grass seems burned.

Description: (Translated from French) Wilton Eater and
his wife Rosalin were driving home after visiting friends in town. As
they were approaching a hill, they saw a very bright light burst out to
their right, which disappeared after a few seconds. Suddenly Mrs. Eater
felt the car lift off the road, and to her great surprise, it floated in
the air without leaving the right side of the road. Meanwhile, her
husband tried in vain to steer the vehicle, with the headlights still
on. A quarter of a mile further, the two astonished witnesses heard the
sound of tires touching the road. (Allan 1971) (A. SCHNEIDER-H.
MALTHANER: "Le dossier secret des OVNI", ed. De Vecchi, 1978, p 35, 36)
At night, Mr. and Mrs. Raw Eater were driving at 70 km/h. Suddenly a
flash of light hit their car. The car floated about 60 cm off the
ground, the speedometer stayed stuck at 70 km/h and despite the bad
condition of the road there were no more bumps. This continued for a
distance of about 400 m. When the strange light went away, the car
regained contact with the ground. (May 14, 1971)

Description: Fifteen-year-old Michael D. of
Passapatanzy, West Virginia was on his way home with his dog after
camping out the previous day with two other boys. He was crossing a
grassy field at 10:00 p.m. when he saw a bright object slowly approach
at a low altitude, passing over some high-tension wires that crossed the
field. He crouched down in some tall grass as the object landed with a
bounce, about 100 feet away. The silvery UFO was higher than it was wide
and had a "walkway" that ran around its circumference. It had red and
white revolving lights on top and made a humming noise. A door "came
down" out of which emerged a "huge" figure who was hunched over and
walked in a "stiff legged, bouncing" fashion. The humanoid being had
long arms and wore shiny, light reflecting clothing. In one hand it held
a glowing box. The humanoid giant appeared to be approaching the tall
grassy area where Michael was hiding, so the teenage ordered his dog to
attack the figure. The being then turned and re-boarded the craft, and
within a couple of minutes it took off. His companions from the camping
expedition came and found Michael a short time later still in the grass,
moaning and very frightened. The next day seven holes where found in the
ground at the site. They were 2.5 inches wide at the top and a foot deep
into the soil. Two days later, Michael and several other family members
saw a bright disc-shaped object, which had been pursuing his sisters as
they drove in a car up the long driveway to their house.

Description: A man was driving home near West
Leisenring, Pennsylvania at 1:10 a.m. and he had just rounded a bend in
the rural road when he noticed an unusual object hovering 20 feet above
the ground. The craft was disc shaped with a dome on top and an antenna
like protrusion. It had a door like opening to the left of its center;
the opening emitted an reddish orange glow from inside. It also emitted
a faint humming sound. He stopped his car to watch, and after two
minutes he saw a figure walk back and forth within the doorway of the
object. The humanoid being was dressed in a grayish white metallic suit
with a hood and stood about six feet tall. The craft itself was dull
gray in color and appeared to have burnt areas along the bottom. The
witness, sitting behind the wheel of his vehicle, turned his head to his
left and saw a similarly garbed figure only three feet way from the
driver's door. He then heard a click and two seconds later a blast threw
him against the vehicle's console. A loud explosion moved the car
forward and the witness drove away as fast as he could. He then drove to
the emergency room of a local hospital where he was treated with what
looked like pellet wounds.

the Avenida Pedro Molina in Mendoza, Argentina
Description: 12:10 p.m. Retired artist Julio Suárez
Marzal is in the first-floor dental office of Walter Griehl on the
Avenida Pedro Molina in Mendoza, Argentina, when they see a flattened,
Saturn-shaped object about a half-mile away to the south. Griehl goes to
retrieve some binoculars and misses most of the sighting. It is an
incandescent dark orange in color and moving from east to west. It
begins floating down with a rocking movement and approaches to within
230 feet. Suárez Marzal sees that it is revolving because of a small
circular mark on its rim. A dense cloud issues from the object and
surrounds it, turning it pearly gray with a faintly bluish sheen. As it
gets closer, the circular mark seems to extend like a bronze-colored
cylinder and has a handle-like protuberance on top. At one point it
moves away to the northeast and disappears for 4 seconds but reappears
even closer, only 130 feet away. It remains stationary for 10 seconds,
and the cylinder seems deliberately pointed toward the short-wave
antenna on the nearby central post office. He estimates it is 18–20 feet
in diameter. It continues rocking and changes shape from a globe to a
hat to an oval. Then after being visible for 90 seconds it takes off
suddenly to the south, leaving a trail of vapor.

Description: At 10:50 p.m. Mrs. Rose was driving down a
road in Belchar's Bar, England when her car headlights dimmed, the
engine lost power, and a transistor radio died. An amber colored,
disc-shaped object was close to the highway only 30 meters away, and it
approached slowly and bathed her car in light as it passed over. When
110 meters away from the object her car's power came back fully. No
other vehicles were in the area at the time.

Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. Pierrette
Debofle was cutting grass for rabbits in her garden at 2:05 PM. Looking
up, she saw in the direction of the chalk quarry, whose summit was 178
meters high, a dark mass in the shape of a saucer with a dome, the size
of a bulldozer, suspended close to the ground. She continued her work
while keeping an eye on the unusual and motionless object. After a long
time, a small being, with an abnormally large head, seemed to float
rather than walk around the object. He moved around the object, bent
down as if to pick something up, passed under the object where he
disappeared inside as if sucked in. Immediately the craft took off
without a sound (800m from the witness) like an arrow towards the hill
and disappeared into the clouds.

UFO in a large chalk quarry about half a mile away. The object was
shaped like an overturned basin and was hovering near the ground. Beside
it a small being with a large head was moving about, and it looked like
he might have been collecting chalk samples. After approximately ten
minutes he was "sucked up" into the object, which took off at once. No
ground traces were found.

Description: (Translated from French) The first "Big
Bird" (formerly Super Samos) was put into orbit. These devices orbit at
very low altitude, almost skimming the surface of the Earth on a scale
of our planet. Initially launched at 170 km altitude, they then descend
to 130 km and sometimes even less. This low altitude poses a problem due
to atmospheric drag, multiplied by ten when descending from 170 to 130
km. (...) The big birds (officially "LASP") are enormous cylinders of 12
tons, equipped with an Agena rocket engine which regularly raises the
altitude of the satellite above the fatal 130 km. (June 1971)

Description: 8:30 p.m. The aircraft carrier USS
John
F. Kennedy is completing an Operational Readiness Exercise in the
Caribbean Sea when an incident occurs following an 18-hour period
simulating General Quarters. Yeoman Third Class James M. Kopf is in the
Communications Center monitoring messages on various teletypes. Suddenly
all the messages begin coming in garbled and he hears that all ship
communications are out, including the radar, compasses, and electrical
systems. A signalman from the deck tells them over the intercom that
something is hovering above the ship. Kopf and others rush topside and
see a huge, pulsating, orangish sphere stationed silently above the ship
at a 60°–70° angle. The object remains about 20 minutes, but Kopf sees
it only one minute before General Quarters sounds and he needs to return
to his battle stations. The two F-4 Phantom jets on high readiness alert
cannot take off. Soon the messaging returns to normal and the crew
stands down after 2 hours. Kopf thinks only about 18 men witnessed the
object out of the 5,000 on the carrier, because everyone is exhausted
from the exercise. He hears that commanding officer Capt. Ferdinand
B. Koch is frustrated by the event, but two days later Koch reminds
the crew that certain events are to be considered classified.

Description: (Translated from French) Esther and Bill
Clapisson, brother and sister, lived in a small house in the outskirts
of Rosedale. On the night of June 7th Esther noticed a light approaching
under the full moon. She went out onto the porch of the house with the
dog. She saw an illuminated, rectangular-shaped object descending
towards the ground near the intersection of two roads, 60 m from the
house. The side of the craft facing her seemed to be occupied across its
entire width by a control panel, but one of the men was hiding it with
his back and outstretched arm. He made a sign to the other one inside,
slightly leaning out to the right of the entrance, as if he wanted to
attract the attention of a third one 6 m away on the road, collecting
rock samples. She wanted to go and take a closer look, but the dog, in a
state of panic, was pulling her back. She went inside to call her
brother and when she came out again there was nothing, not even a light.
The next day she found a 6 m long rectangular trace of burned grass at
the edge of the road at the landing site. Four months later this imprint
was still perfectly clear. (1971, June 7 (or 9?))

It was green in color, and was trailing a long sparkly tail of red and
green particles. It came from the direction of the sea off Waikouaiti,
and flew off to the southwest toward Taieri.

Description: At 8:50 p.m. Miss Esther Clappison or
Rosedale, Alberta noticed a light outside her home and went to the
window. She saw what looked like a rectangular window that she judged
was about 200 feet away, illuminated from within by a white light. It
was on a darkened object whose shaped she could not make out, but she
believed was resting on the ground. In the window was a man less that
five feet tall dressed in olive green coveralls. The outfit completely
covered him, even his face. He seemed to be aware of the witness and he
used his body and arm to conceal some sort of instrument panel. He
seemed to be trying to attract the attention of another humanoid figure
outside the object, visible in the light from the window, who was
stooped over and picking up rocks from the ground. She wanted to get
closer to get a better look, but her dog would not let her. Trembling
and cowering, the dog forced his mistress back inside the house. After
the object left the grass at the landing site was charred black over an
area 20 feet in diameter.

Description: (Translated from French) At about 2
o'clock in the morning, the peasants were startled awake by the noise of
the village dogs and roosters and by the strange vibrations of the
houses. Believing it to be an earthquake, people rushed out of their
homes. That's when everyone could see a large bright disc quickly
crossing the sky from NW to SE, almost skimming the roofs of the
village. The shock caused by the gust tore off tiles, the leaves of the
trees made a dull sound. (...) the villagers confirmed to me that their
houses had trembled and they confirmed to me the existence of a disc of
more than 3 m in diameter, but in the villages around no one felt an
earthquake, nor saw this bright disc. (1971, Summer)

Description: (Translated from French) One day at dusk,
the sun had already set and the sky was turning black. Having finished
my work in the vegetable garden, I set off for the return. The moon was
suspended in the sky in the southeast. I was walking in the direction of
the north. I unconsciously raised my head and saw another bright moon in
the northwest sky (...) which was almost blue, its brightness similar to
that of a fluorescent lamp. (...) the blue moon shone particularly as if
it had exploded. Two other luminous objects shot out at the same time
from this moon, one above the other: they were even bigger, but less
bright than the blue moon. This spectacle put me in a deep stupor. I
couldn't believe my eyes. A few minutes later, another strange
phenomenon occurred: these two luminous objects themselves divided into
two, making five objects in all including the blue moon. The last two
were the biggest but the least bright. These five unknown flying objects
were perfectly alike and they all stayed in the sky for a moment. (1971,
Summer)

Description: 6:00 p.m. Spanish physician Guillermo
Arguello de la Motta is a guest of his friend Antonio Arocha at San Juan
de los Morros, Guárico, Venezuela. They suddenly see two men dressed in
black, both wearing red ties and black berets. They emerge from a
brand-new red Ford Mustang, at a distance of 1,600 feet from the house.
They stand there waiting for 5 minutes, then begin to put on orange
belts, talking together animatedly. Suddenly a shining object appears in
the sky, descends, and stops at a height of 2 feet from the ground. It
is circular, bell-shaped underneath, and has a “turret” on the top. The
object changes rapidly in color from orange to blue and to white.
Suddenly a small staircase is dropped from the object, enabling the two
men from the Mustang to enter the UFO. The staircase is drawn in, then
the object takes off at an impressive speed.

department, France when he heard the sound of breaking branches outside
his tent at around one o'clock in the morning. They were all concerned
about possible prowlers, so he looked out from his tent window and saw a
human-like figure, foggy white in color like a phantom, walking down a
path toward the boy's tent. The farther away the figure went, the less
distinct it became. Stunned, he got up and ran out of his tent and down
the path toward the other tent, but the figure had disappeared. He got
the boys up and they explored the surrounding area, but they found no
one. They then got into his car and they drove for several kilometers in
both directions but found nothing more unusual.

height did not exceed 4 feet. He had no hair, and nothing that resembled
clothing. He was very, very visible in the darkness--there was no light,
for the sky was overcast and the electricity was out that night." The
being appeared to be transparent, and Gaetan had the impression that a
stone thrown at him would have passed right through him. Although the
apparition completely ignored the presence of the witness, Paquin became
frightened and fled.

Description: 10:45 p.m. Tea planter Parl Abeywickrema,
his two assistants Oswin de Alwis and Nimal Dunuwille, and the driver
Sirisena Wijesinghe are driving between the Hope Estate in
Rikillagaskada, Sri Lanka, and the Rockwood Estate in Hewaheta when they
see a bright object larger than the full moon above the hilly horizon.
Soon it approaches the, and Abeywickrema orders the driver to stop. They
watch the object, now hovering about one- quarter mile away at an
altitude of 1,000 feet. After 10 minutes it silently swoops toward them
at high speed and stops 300 feet away at a height of 100 feet. The
object is about 25 feet in diameter with two “tapering wings” on either
side and casts a fluorescent yellow glow. After a few more minutes, the
UFO moves toward the southwest at a 45° angle after drawing its two
wings inside the main body. Some 50 witnesses report the same or similar
objects in the same area that night, and both Abeywickrema and
Wijesinghe report seeing UFOs around 2:00– 3:00 a.m. after returning
home.

Description: The witness was at home in Valcourt,
Quebec watching television at 8:30 p.m. when his attention was drawn to
the sound of his cows bellowing in a nearby field. The witness and his
wife went outside and saw the cows running from the field. They also saw
a dark spherical object hovering above the field, with a reddish light
shining out of what appeared to be an open door in the object. Three
small men who glowed a pale green color were moving around the object.
They seem to glide just above the ground in rapid, darting movements. At
times the beings seemed to pick something up from the ground. The little
men went back inside the object, closing the door behind them. The UFO
then rose slowly and disappeared over some nearby trees. The next day a
circular spiral was found on the ground, plus a silvery lump of unknown
material that was later tested at Laval University.

Description: At 11:35 p.m. a married couple driving in
a car between Gladstone and Rockhampton in Queensland, Australia
witnessed a circle of lights near a river. What should normally have
been a two hour trip took them only 40 minutes. They have amnesia about
what happened after sighting the lights in the sky, and an unusual oily
residue and marks were found on their car. A possible UFO abduction
involving time loss, a probable translocation, and levitation are
suspected. Hypnotic regression failed due to the main witness having a
violent, shaking, fearful reaction to re-envisioning the event in
memory.

Description: At around midnight a 30-year-old woman in
the Gavea district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was sitting by an open
window while her husband slept. It was cloudy, and she noticed an orange
glow coming from behind a cloud, which she first thought was the moon.
She watched a large, elliptical metallic object come out from behind the
cloud that was larger than a Boeing jet plane. It hovered, trembling and
shaking like a dry leaf, then it stopped entirely and hovered directly
above the science building on the University campus. Two smaller
objects, perfect replicas of the first, next came out from beneath it
and started oscillating in their flight around the larger one. The
larger UFO was silvery metallic in color but had a wide orange,
phosphorescent band crossing it from side to side. Within this band the
witness believed she saw oval-shaped portholes of a light hue, and three
or four shapes moving behind them.
The larger UFO emitted a
broad, bluish beam of light that fell directly into the room in which
the witness was sitting, so it appeared to have been aimed at her. She
compared the type of light to that of an oxyacetylene lamp. Every time
it hit her it nearly blinded her. The light turned off briefly and then
turned on again, at first gradually, then more brightly. She now felt
irresistibly drawn to it and had to hold on to the back of the settee so
as not to fly out the window. She felt that the light was having a
hypnotizing effect on her, and she tried to call out to her husband but
could not say a word. The beam of light turned off and on five times
over a ten minute period until she finally managed to wake her husband
who came over to see the larger metallic object fly away. It flew at an
incredible speed in a northeasterly direction until it was lost to sight
beyond the Sugar Loaf in the direction of Niteroi.

normally it would take much longer. Furthermore, they had no
recollection of the journey, except that they had seen a strange green
light at one point. Their car, a 1971 Valiant Sedan, was covered in an
odourless oily substance. Attempts to learn more through hypnosis
failed.

on the left just before passing a sign indicating Port Alma, 40 km from
Calliope River. The last thing they remember is being at a railroad

Frederick
William “Ted” Holiday, who is looking for a UFO connection with the
loch. However, Sundberg eventually confesses that he made up the
story.

Description: Jan-Ove Sundberg was in the woods above
Foyers Bay on Loch Ness, Scotland at around nine a.m. when he saw a
grayish-black cigar-shaped object in a clearing in the woods. It was
about 30 feet long with a curved standing portion at one end, so that it
had the profile of a huge smoothing iron. Three grayish entities of
normal human size then appeared out of some nearby bushes and stood
together. They were dressed in what looked like diver's suits and
helmets. They approached the object and entered it by a door in the
upper part of the curved portion, the UFO then rose vertically to a
height of 50 feet and then took off rapidly in a near-horizontal
trajectory. Sundberg took a photograph as the last of the occupants was
boarding.

Description: At nearly the same time as the Loch Ness
CE-3 encounter, three adults and four children were in an isolated area
on a Mediterranean beach in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain when they
suddenly noticed a very tall figure that seemed to be trying to enter
the water in a very clumsy manner. It was a very tall, well-built, and
human like, but with very pale skin that seemed to lack any pores. It
had a large hairless head with a high forehead and large gray colored
eyes. It wore a pair of green shorts and it walked towards the shore
very stiffly, almost like a robot. It walked past the witnesses
maintaining a straight steady gaze on them. The witnesses turned their
heads for a second and when they looked back the being had completely
vanished. There was nowhere he could have gone and he was nowhere in
sight.

Description: At 6:45 p.m. John R. Renz had just been
relieved from guard duty at Francis E. Warren Air Force base near
Cheyenne, Wyoming and had stopped at the mess hall for a beer. On his
way back to the barracks he came upon an unlit area of the base at the
concrete reinforced bridge, which crossed over Cow Creek. For some
reason everything was unnaturally quiet around him. As he began to cross
the bridge and just before he got to the middle of it, a paralyzing
sound resembling loud heart beats became evident. Simultaneously the
area around the bridge lit up like midday. There was also a heavy
breathing sound present, and the bridge began to sway in a wave-like
motion and then settled down. Frightened, he began to run toward the
other end of the bridge, but before he reached it he realized that he
had dropped his tobacco pipe and went back to retrieve it. The bridge
was still lit up and the loud sounds persisted. He found his pipe and
stooped down to get it. When he looked up he was stunned to see a six to
seven foot tall being standing there, only three feet away from him. The
being had a medium build as far as the torso, but its head was much
larger than normal and it had long arms. It appeared to be wearing a wet
suit. The hood and body suit were one unit. The eyes were covered with a
one-piece face mask that went across both eyes, as if it was some kind
of blast shield, but the nasal area joined in with it. From the nose
there was a silver gray tube that stretched at least a half a foot long
and went straight into the chest area. The silver gray tube was ribbed
and looked like a tracheal tube. The hands consisted of three long
fingers that ended in claws. The feet were three toed and did not appear
to have any heels. When Renz looked up to the being's face, he was
almost in a full standing position. The being raised its right,
three-fingered hand and motioned for him to come closer. Instead, Renz
turned and ran. His next recollection was of coming up on a military
jeep and being picked up by two soldiers, still on the base. There was a
seven-hour period of missing time.
Years later, under
hypnosis, Renz remembered being inside some kind of object in a cockpit
along with the being. The being spoke to him telepathically. He
remembered descending through clouds of vapor that had a reddish brown
tinge. The craft then flew in between two huge mountains: there was no
vegetation anywhere and it looked like a rocky desert. He next
remembered following the being through a huge door into the side of a
mountain tunnel and entering a small room. In this room there was a
table that floated in mid-air. The walls and floor of the room were a
silver-gray color. On the floating table there was the carcass of a
creature. The creature on the table had a larger than normal head and a
face resembling that of a wasp. The eyes were large, like wasp eyes, and
had slits inside that looked like pupils. It had what looked like
multi-lens eye coverings, and it had a small jaw and a slit-like nose.
The creature was about four to five feet in length and looked to have an
exoskeleton. Its color was tan to brown with a bluish gray tinge. The
humanoid creature gave off an unbearably foul odor, resembling a rotten
egg sulphur smell. It had three fingers on its hands and at the elbows
there was a sharp concave shaped spike at least six inches long. The
mouth was gaped open and the teeth were like small shark teeth. A clear
liquid with a reddish substance was dripped on the table.
The
tall being then told the witness to leave the room. Outside the room he
saw a saucer-shaped craft with a wide front end and a round tapered
tail. The whole craft sat on two pillars, rectangular in shape with at
least 50 feet between them. The being told him to go inside and sit in
the left seat. On what appeared to be a control panel Renz saw numerous
strange symbols. There was a sound like a powerful electric motor and
the craft took off. Later he recalled the craft attacking a large
mountainous area resembling a beehive. He could see numerous creatures
inside. They appeared to be scrambling back and forth. There were a
couple of hundred of them and they appeared to be the same as the
insectoid humanoid that was on the floating table. The craft landed in
the destroyed complex where he remembered seeing a live creature with
the face of a wasp that was wearing a dark cape or cloak. Within its
cloak it was carrying three small insect creatures at least a foot long.
Their heads were triangular in shape with large eyes. The tall humanoid
shot and killed the creature and the little ones. Renz was then taken
back to the Air Force base.

Description: John Hodges and Peter Rodriguez, both in
their late twenties, had just gotten into John's car at two a.m. when
they saw in the headlights things that looked like "brains" on the road
about six feet away. Of a bluish color, a localized mist surrounded
them. One was the size of a human torso, and had something red on it;
the other was "the size of an overgrown softball." Frightened, the young
men took off for home. Under hypnosis five years later, John Hodges
recalled that the larger brain had spoken to them telepathically,
saying, "Take the time to understand yourselves, the times draws near
when you shall need to. You shall not remember this incident until we
meet again."
He also recalled that when he had arrived home
and was still sitting in his car, he had a "dream" or vision of being in
a large room with the brain. There were control consoles all along the
wall, and there were several 7-foot-tall Grey skinned, bald humanoids
with 6 webbed fingers and toes and thin lipped mouths. On a TV-like
screen were pinpoint of lights, which the brain told him were places on
Earth where there was "too much power." He was also shown 3-D pictures
of atomic explosions, and of a planet destroyed by "too much power."
After feeling a "buzzing" sensation he found himself back in his car. He
thinks the experience was a "holographic projection," because he noticed
that behind him all was black.

he noticed that it was a man-shaped figure that rapidly changed

witnesses and noticed that the being flew in a crouched position
resembling that of someone riding on an "invisible" motorcycle. He
described the figure as human with rosy skin, long black hair, and a
beard and was very tall. It hovered near the witness, staring at him

Description: (Translated from French) (Li Chun) A
peasant from my production brigade, named Zhang Rongchang, was tending
to the corn fields. One day at noon, as he was returning home for lunch,
in the middle of the path, he suddenly saw a man with a big head coming
towards him. When Rongchang was 5 or 6 m away from the unknown man, the
latter stopped. Astonished by the unexpected presence of this strange
creature, Zhang stopped too and shouted twice to the man: "What do you
want?" No reaction. The old peasant had the time to examine the man
without seeming to and saw that he had a well-proportioned body
structure. His body was dressed in a one-piece garment, like a space
suit, made of metal leaves, with dots in front and behind. His clothing
shone intensely in the sun. It was difficult to distinguish his arms and
legs; His walk and his look seemed stiff, silent. His very bulky head
was three times bigger than that of a normal man. It was covered with a
helmet and the witness could not see any detail behind this helmet.
Zhang Rongchang was very scared: he took a detour and ran desperately.
When he was at some distance, he turned back to see the creature again,
but it had mysteriously disappeared. (Zhang was never the same again, he
remained prostrate, and died in January 1972) (...) (...) (1971, late
August)

Description: Feeling a compulsion to go to a certain
place, Paul de Brescia walked to an isolated wooded area near Grasse,
France. In a clearing he encountered two very tall humanoids, about 1.85
meters in height with well-proportioned bodies and long blond hair. They
wore tight-fitting bluish metallic coveralls with wide white belts and
white gloves. The witness felt a sense of compassion and understanding
emanating from the humanoids. The humanoids approached him and
communicated in French, telling him that they had come from the star
system of Vega. They were here on a mission to attempt to persuade
humanity to change its ways. After more conversation one of the
humanoids gave Paul something resembling a piece of chocolate, which he
ate, he became drowsy and later woke up in his apartment, suffering a
complete amnesia of the event. He was only able to recall the incident
on a later date.

Description: 8:25 a.m. Pilot Omar Arias is flying a
twin-engine Canadian Aero-Commander F680 at a height of 10,000 feet
above Lago de Cote, Costa Rica, taking aerial photos as part of a
preliminary study for future hydroelectric projects. On board are
photographer Sergio Loaiza, a specialist in aerial photography, plus
geographer Juan Bravo and topographer Francisco Reyes. Loaiza was using
a R-M-K 15/23 camera, specially made for cartography and using
high-resolution black-and-white film, strapped on the bottom of the
aircraft and taking automatic photos with an intervalometer. No one sees
a thing while they are up in the air, but when Loiaza reviews his
images, he discovers in frame 300 what seems to be a huge metallic disc
against the dark background of the lake. The object does not appear in
the previous or following frames. Jacques
Vallée obtains a copy of the negative and examines it with Richard Haines and
concludes that the photo shows “an unidentified, opaque, aerial object
was captured on film at a maximum distance of 10,000 feet. There are no
visible means of lift or propulsion and no surface markings other than
darker regions that appear to be nonrandom.”

Description: 7:00 p.m. Juan Rodríguez Domínguez, 82,
who goes by the nickname of Juan el de la Palmareña, is in his hut on
the Los Lunarejos farm just over a mile from Aznalcóllar, Seville,
Spain, when he sees a bus-sized object landing near an abandoned well
1,000 feet away. More than 50 “soldiers” in blue “uniforms” emerge. They
march in formation into a hollow in the field and are lost to view. Juan
can now see only five or six “chiefs” standing on a slope and staring in
his direction. When they shine a light at him, he ducks behind the hut.
A bit later he looks out again and they shine the light once more.
Frightened, he flees to Aznalcóllar to inform his employers, who do not
take him seriously. He later insists that the object and the “soldiers”
have left marks in the ground, but police do not bother to follow
up.

Description: 3:30 a.m. Arthur Honke, Alec Honke, and
Gordon Campbell are driving north just outside Winnipeg, Manitoba, to do
some hunting. They see a bright flash as something passes overhead and
in front of the car. It now appears ahead of them on the right side of
the road. Honke pulls alongside it and steps out of the car. They can
hear a low-pitched humming from the object only about 150–225 feet away.
It is shaped like two saucers, one on top of the aother, and has
flashing green and red lights and one white statonary light. The object
hovers for 30 seconds, then starts moving slowly to the southeast. But
as the men drive north again, the object begins following them at a
distance for about 45 minutes.

Description: At 1:45 a.m. Osvaldo Nestor D'Annunzio,
age 19, was returning by truck along an isolated road from a local ranch
in Estacion Gil, near Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina when he
noticed a bright white object quickly approaching him at high speed. The
object rapidly approached the ground in an unnatural manner by making a
very wide curve. As the object got closer it looked more like a reddish,
triangular light. When it came even closer it changed into a top-shaped
craft that emitted a cloud of red and white flame. The craft swung from
right to left in a descending pendulum trajectory, finally slipping
behind the tops of some nearby trees near the edge of the road. Once the
object went behind the trees, a powerful reddish glow transformed the
night into day, and he felt heat emanating from the object. At that
moment he blacked out.
When he recovered consciousness he saw
the UFO ascending, and it disappeared behind a nearby eucalyptus forest.
He did not know how long he had been unconscious. Upon arriving home,
D'Annunzio felt a paralysis in both his arms. He could walk, but his
arms became so completely paralyzed that he could not use them to open
the door, and he had to kick the door to attract attention. He was
immediately rushed to a local military hospital for treatment. His
paralysis continued until four p.m. the next afternoon.For the next
seven months he suffered from paralysis in his arms, starting at
midnight and lasting until early in the morning. He also suffered facial
and scalp burns. Later he had further memories of the incident,
recalling that he saw numerous cows and sheep standing strangely still
at the edge of the road as the UFO descended, and the craft seemed to
have split in two as it disappeared behind the trees. He further
described the UFO as shaped like a child's top, metallic blue in color,
and encased in a red glow with a flame shooting from the bottom. It was
about three meters in length.
Other witnesses in the area
reported seeing the same or a similar UFO flying low over the area,
including a man who reported vehicle interference as a result of the
passage of the object. Later, local UFO investigators discovered dozens
of cows and sheep dead and scorched alongside the road. Using a Geiger
counter they measured a high level of radioactivity in certain areas. In
the place where the object had descended they also found a burned
circular area of grass about 10 meters in diameter. In addition, several
metal telephone lines in the area were found severed along what appeared
to be the object's trajectory. A last unusual detail is that D'Annunzio
apparently managed to drive the last eight kilometers in only two
minutes, so some levitation and translocation may have been
involved.

Description: (Translated from French) Between 7:30 and
8:00 PM, Paulo Caetano Silveira in his VW car saw a luminous object
circling his vehicle at 3 m, causing it to stop. As the speed was
engaged, the car jumped forward when the UFO moved away, but stalled
immediately. Panicked and sweating, the witness turned the key and was
able to leave, but twice more the red and blue object approached him,
and the car stopped again. Three humanoids of 90 to 100 cm in height
were approaching him, floating, and he was taken by the trio and
transported inside the craft where he was examined without being
touched. He was brought outside by some kind of elevator and collapsed
on the ground. They dragged him 5 m to the edge of the road, where he
lost consciousness. Ten minutes later he was able to get up and saw
someone approaching: it was Doctor Crespo to whom he asked for help.
(...) He immediately went to tell his story to the police, who saw him
arrive with his arms and clothes dusty as if he had rolled on the
ground. (follow-up on October 11, 1971) (Inforespace n° 56 of 1981, pp.

bruises; state of shock (source FSR 17.6 page 24). Paulo Silveira
recounts that two figures in blue one-piece suits took him inside a
luminous disc. He was driving towards Itaperuna when the disc blocked
the road. A beam of light came out of it and the engine of the car
stopped, while Silveira himself remained without energy. He heard a
motor sound when the two extraterrestrials, the size of children of
about ten years old, carried him on board. He fell into a coma. He woke
up when they laid him on the edge of the road near his car, then they
entered their craft and left. A passing motorist found the unfortunate,
disoriented, dazed, and blind, and took him to the hospital. The
abduction had lasted three hours. (1971, (12?) September 22)

Description: (Translated from French) Benito Miranda,
truck driver, returned home on September 25, with his clothes stained
with red and black earth, and his eyes injected with blood. He was
treated at home, lay down and fell asleep. He told the police that while
he was traveling around 24 hours between Itaperuna and Cataguazes, he
saw a strange round object on the road. Approaching, he saw two small
men measuring about 30 cm. From their belt, the dwarves took out a lamp
from which a light beam, sometimes blue, sometimes vermilion, came out.
The beam was directed at him and when the light hit him he was suspended
in the air like a bird hovering. Every time the light intensity
increased, the witness went higher, up to about 50 m: he felt paralyzed,
unable to even scream. After about 5 minutes, headlights appeared in the
distance. The dwarves lowered the beam towards the ground and the
witness was taken back inside the truck. It took him a quarter of an
hour to recover. (...) He stopped on the bridge crossing the Rio
Carangola to check a steering defect, not knowing why he suddenly fell
asleep and woke up at 6:30 the next morning, not understanding how he
was in the car and had his clothes soiled). He returned home not
remembering anything but had pains all over his body. 10 days after the
incident, his left hand was still shaking slightly. [note from vog:
confused all this! is it the 22nd or the 24th of September to start?]

Description: Sr. Paulo Caetano Silveira, age 27, a
typewriter technician, found his car being followed by a red luminous
disc while driving to his home in Itaperuna, Brazil. At Tombos he
reported the matter to the local police, but they did not take him
seriously. After he calmed down he started off again. This time, at
about 7 p.m. and at a small village named Serraria, he encountered a
black object on the road that turned a luminous red and then blinding
white in color, and his car engine died. The object, slightly larger
than a Volkswagen, had small windows and an open door. Next to it were
standing three short, chubby beings approximately 20 inchestall, with
fair complexions and slanted eyes. They wore one-piece, sky-blue
coveralls with high collars, and "Roman helmets" with spikes. They
carried vivid red and blue lights and moved in a stiff, mechanical
way.
Two bright beams of light were focused on the witness's
car and its doors popped open. These beams pulled the witness from the
car and into the machine, whose interior was brilliantly illuminated by
white light. There was little in the way of furnishings inside, but
inside were five more similar dwarfs. "An infernal din" commenced and
believes the object flew some distance with him, but he shortly lost
consciousness. The next thing he was remembered was being carried out
and laid on the road beside his car. The UFO then rose vertically,
hovered a moment, then shot off laterally at a staggering speed. The
witness was left in a state of shock and nearly blind. For five days he
still could not see well and was extremely nervous. His watch had lost
15 minutes.

sinking into the water 3 miles from their position. (1971, September

(4 cm at arm's length, that is 6 to 8 m of real diameter) stands

abandon their observation after one or two minutes. (1971, Autumn)

large jet of smoke and rises in the air. It hovers a few more seconds
then rises to a higher level. Soon it drops down toward the ground and
disappears. The unit dispatches a motor vehicle to find the object, but
due to the ruggedness of the mountain roads, it turns back after more

Description: At two a.m. Benito Miranda, a 24-year-old
truck driver, was driving on Highway 40 west of Itaperuna, Minas Gerais,
Brazil when he perceived a strong beam of reddish light, coming from
something that blocked the road ahead of him. He lost control of his
car, and it slowed down and stopped despite his best efforts. He got out
of his car and saw an object about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle on
the road. A door opened in the object and three diminutive beings, less
than two feet tall, jumped down from it. They wore coveralls with "Roman
type" helmets, and carried dazzling lights. With a yellow beam of light
they levitated him 150 feet from the ground, where he was floated for
about 15 minutes. When the headlights of an approaching car came into
view he was gently lowered back down to the ground, and the object and
its occupants vanished. He drove back to Itaperuna and reported his
close encounter to the police, who sent him to SAMDU Hospital to be
examined. An independent witness, the driver of the approaching car,
reported witnessing the event.

Description: On this night Len Delman, a lorry driver,
saw what he took to be a man in a white suit in the road directly ahead
of his truck while driving near Banbury, Oxfordshire, England. He
slammed on the brakes and came to a halt, believing he may have hit the
man. He jumped out and went behind his truck, but found no one. Coming
back around to the front of his vehicle he saw in the headlights a
"spaceman," 7-8 feet tall, with big, staring eyes 8-12 inches apart and
extending around the sides of its head. It had a pack on its back from
which two tubes led to the head. When Delman honked his horn repeatedly
the "thing" jumped three feet in the air and ran across the road, then
leapt over a hedge. Two other lorry drivers came upon the scene, and
together they watched a disc-shaped object take off from the field where
the figure had disappeared.

Description: At two a.m. Mr. Ron Foreman heard a loud
noise outside followed by a "whoosh" come from outside his home in West
Malling, Kent, England. His television cut out and the room lights went
dim. He opened the back door and saw a seven foot tall "creature"
standing there, clad in a silver suit and wearing a transparent helmet.
It "glided" away over a fence, but later returned with a second entity,
surrounded by a haze of light. Foreman went for the police.

Description: (Translated from French) A Soviet-built
Cuban plane lands in New Orleans without being detected. In 25 months,
this is the second time American radars have seen nothing, as in October
1969.
A report from an investigative commission of the House of
Representatives will establish the existence of this 2500 km breach in
the American air defense system between Florida and California, one of
the regions where the most mysterious disappearances occur: the famous
"Death Triangle". It would cost $125 million to remedy it.

Description: 7:50 p.m. Two students, Vània, 9, and
Vera, 21, are sitting down outside their residence on a busy street in
the populous neighborhood of São Cristóvão in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
when they see a luminous, yellow, silent object above a building across
the street some 260–300 feet away. They run out into the street to alert
others, and the object follows them above the roofs of houses. Another
student, Nelson Calmon Schubsky, 23, and his fiancée rush into the
street along with many others to see the object. Chbosky has a Leica
camera and takes two photos without having time to adjust the settings.
The UFO has three luminous appendages (white, yellow, and red) and is
rose-colored in the center with a red outline. It pulsates rapidly,
changes color, and disappears behind a nearby tower. Chbosky’s photos
are blurry.

Description: (Translated from French) At 6:14 PM, the
ANA Boeing 727 flight 69 from Tokyo to Sapporo was flying at 27,000 feet
when the captain, Tadayoshi Sugimura, saw a golden glowing object two
o'clock away. Two other members of the crew were also observing the
object. It almost filled the cockpit window, resembling a glowing stick,
with four lights two-thirds of the way down its length and a trail
following it. It was flying southeast at around 12,000 meters altitude
and remained visible for nearly a minute. At 6:15 PM, another ANA Boeing
727, flight 68, was flying at 26,000 feet and the captain, Kenji Yamada,
the co-pilot Akio Ishii, and flight engineer Roye Hopper observed the
phenomenon 90° to the left of the nose of the aircraft. They estimated
the length of the object to be 200 to 300 meters and 10 to 12 meters
high, with a golden glow, with sparks at the front and a speed of Mach
2.

Description: Early morning. While on the downwind leg
of the pattern to runway 20L at the Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, four pilots on board a single-engine Cessna airplane
watch as a “huge star” approaches them on their starboard side. The
object descends to their altitude and slows rapidly to their air speed,
smoothly changing its direction to fly parallel with them at an
estimated distance of 98 feet. It looks like an “inverted dish” with a
small rounded protrusion centered on its upper surface that seems to
contain oval windows. What appears to be the head of a person is seen in
one window looking at them. The UFO is seen for about 85 seconds. The
object descends at high velocity toward the water’s surface, turns
sharply left without any hesitation and disappears from sight in several
seconds. The reporting witness is Chief Flight Instructor José Américo
C. Medeiros, 23, pilot of the Cessna.

Description: (Translated from French) Omar Salera
Armond took the bus from Italva to Itaperuna at 01:05. The 39 passengers
were asleep. 8 km after Italva he saw a yellow-orange light about 500 m
away and with an apparent diameter of 2 m. He told the conductor and the
driver, who stopped the bus. The passengers got off to observe the
phenomenon, which was then still. After some discussion, everyone got
back on and the journey continued. During the last 31 km, the light
accompanied the bus, except twice, it was constantly in front of the bus
at 60° and executed various trajectory evolutions. The driver was
suggested to make a call of headlights: he did. The UFO disappeared and
returned a few minutes later. This happened 5 times. The bus stopped 3
more times on the way to observe the phenomenon.

Description: (Translated from French) (Continuation
from 22.9.1971) Around 3:00 AM Paulo Caetano was suddenly awoken by a
strong mental shock. From his bed he saw a light entering through the
window. Without waking his wife he got up and went to the kitchen: he
saw in the garden, 3 m from the house, an object identical to the one
from his first contact, not touching the ground, staying at about 50 cm.
Next to the UFO, small humanoids were pointing a box in his direction.
They looked at each other like this for 10 minutes, then Paulo Caetano
felt a sharp headache. The UFO left, he went back to bed, but he
couldn't fall asleep again.

Description: Itaperuna, Brazil - At three o'clock in
the morning Paula Caetano Silveira awoke from sleep abruptly, as if by
"a mental shock." From his bed he saw a light in the garden, so he went
to his kitchen where he could get a better view. Through the window
grating he saw the same object that had stopped him on September 22nd.
It was hovering a half meter from the ground only three meters from his
house. Paulo Caetano saw several small figures beside the craft, who
pointed a small box-like implement in his direction. The witness and the
small figures remained eyeing each other, with no movement, for 10
minutes. At some point Paulo Caetano's head began to ache. The craft and
its occupants left, but the witness was so upset he was unable to return
to sleep.

surprise saw a strange flying machine shaped like a tank. I estimated
its height to be between 4 and 5 m, its diameter between 2 and 3 m. It
was in the sky at 400 or 500 m from the ground. It was a shining metal
machine that flew along the street without making any noise. Its speed
was equal to that of the cars and it was turning slowly on itself. I
stopped to look at it better and the passers-by followed my example:
everyone in the street was looking at it for a minute, then it
disappeared.

from a performance and were driving in a van near St. Catharines,
Ontario when they saw a large disc-shaped object with brightly lit
portholes and blue beams of light shining on the roadway. The group
tried to turn back but the van came under the control of the object and
it drove directly towards it. They got to within 20 feet of the craft
and the van stopped. They all felt heat at this point. They then saw a
face with large black eyes staring at them through the window. The back
door of the van was opened and four humanoids stood there. They had
large hairless heads and large black eyes. The beings communicated
telepathically with the witnesses telling them they would not be hurt.
Three of the witnesses were taken inside the object and tested with
numerous instruments. At one point the aliens told one of the witnesses
that there was not a "correct religion on earth."

Description: On this night Sally Pike was on a UFO
watch on Cradle Hill, Warminster, England when she suddenly and
inexplicably became apprehensive. Upon turning around, she saw, very
clearly, the outline of a tall male figure striding up the road in the
bright moonlight. The figure was about seven-foot tall, with extremely
long arms, which hung limply at his sides. He seemed to have no neck,
and his head appeared to rise directly from his shoulders. The body
itself was almost transparent, with only the outline being solid. Later
that same night, Neil Pike also was on watch near some white metal
gates, and looked over to the road leading up to a military vedette
post. He became aware of three giant figures standing in a line near the
opposite hedgerow. His description was similar to his wife's, except
that the bodies ended at the mid-section and he could not discern any
legs. Startled, he shone the beam of his flashlight at one of the tall
figures. Immediately it vanished, only to reappear at another spot
nearer to him. He flashed the flashlight on the other two and the same
thing happened. They were now much closer to him. Alone on the hill, he
panicked and ran to his car, got in, and quickly sped away.

Description: (Translated from French) Ronald Johnson
was working in the sheepfold and his mother was calling him for dinner
when he heard a rumble. He then saw an object in the shape of a fly
agaric mushroom, which lit up from top to bottom in all colors, the base
being very bright. It came over the shed, broke a dead tree on the way,
broke a branch off another tree and stopped near the latter, about 60 cm
from the ground, for several minutes. Then its base became brighter and
it rose obliquely at great speed, passing over the shed with a shrill
noise like that of a jet plane. Ronald called his parents who finally
decided to come and saw the light of the craft disappear in the
distance. Going around the shed adjacent to the site, Ronald and his
parents saw in the dark (night had come) a bright circle with a faint
glow. The ground shone with a gray-white color. The branches of the site
also shone in the same way. Approaching closer, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
touched the circular surface. It was not hot, but to the touch the
texture of the ground seemed strange, as if the ground was crystallized.
Mrs. Johnson immediately felt that her fingers had become numb. She then
rubbed her hand against her leg to try to dispel this numbness, but the
part of her leg where she had rubbed became immediately insensitive like
the tip of her fingers. She compared this numbness to a local
anesthetic. Mr. Johnson also felt the same sensation after touching the
ground. (...) Broken branches, crown-shaped trace whose ground is
waterproofed, containing a whitish substance. No radioactivity.

Description: 7:00 p.m. Ronald Johnson, 16, is tending
sheep on his family’s farm at Delphos, Kansas, when he hears a rumbling
sound and sees (75 feet away in a small grove of trees) an object become
suddenly illuminated with a mass of blue, red, and orange colors. Nine
feet in diameter and 10 feet high, the UFO is slightly domed at the top
and is hovering 2 feet above the ground. He and his dog stare at the
object while the sheep are bellowing. After several minutes, the glow at
the base becomes more intense and the object takes off at an angle,
clearing by no more than 4 feet a shed attached to the sheep pen. The
rumbling is replaced by a high-pitched wail. Johnson is temporarily
blinded but recovers his sight a few minutes later and sees the object
still there. He runs into the house to tell his parents, and they also
see the light in the southern sky moving off into the distance. At the
site where the UFO has been is a glowing, gray-white circle where the
soil seems to be crystallized. After the parents touch the soil, it
turns their fingers numb, persisting for several weeks. Johnson takes a
photo of the circle. Seven separate soil analyses are conducted. Soil
samples taken from the ring so not absorb water, have a higher acid
content, and contain more soluble salts and calcium. They also produce
less seed growth than control samples and are coated with a hydrocarbon
of low molecular weight that is difficult to remove. A second substance
is also found that is composed of white, crystalline fibers.

Description: A famous UFO close encounter leaving
physical evidence occurred on this day at a farm one mile northeast of
Delphos, Kansas. Sixteen-year-old Ron Johnson was tending the family
sheep with his dog at around seven p.m. when he saw a mushroom-shaped
UFO appear in the night sky. The object was covered with multicolored
lights on its metallic surface. It hovered only a few feet above the
ground only 75 feet away from him in a sheep paddock. Ron estimated the
craft's diameter at 6-8 feet. The teenager tried to get a closer look
but under the brilliant luminance he was not able to make out any
additional details. He described the craft as making a loud sound, "like
an old washing machine which vibrates." The glow from the bottom of the
UFO increased as it began to shoot up into the sky. Ron was temporarily
blinded by the brightness of the craft as it ascended. After he regained
his sight and composure, he ran back to the family house to alert the
others. The bright glow was now high in the sky, as it began to vanish
from sight altogether.
Three family members came running
around the side of the house to get a glimpse of the unusual object.
They were shocked to see a glowing ring on the ground, right under where
the craft had hovered. Ron’s mother touched the surface of the ground
around the glow, and said it "felt strange, like a slick crust, as if
the soil was crystallized." Her fingers went numb, like she had been
given a local anesthetic. Seeing nothing else of the craft, the family
finally went to bed for the night.
(Continued.) At dawn the
family returned to the sight of the glowing ring and to their surprise,
it was still there. The inside and outside of the ring were damp from a
rain shower, but the ring itself was completely dry. The ring had a
crusty appearance, as though the rain had simply run off. Slightly over
a month later, after a snow fall, the white ice had melted both inside
and outside of the ring, but the ring itself maintained the snow drift.
Investigators experimented with the ring by removing snow from a section
of it and pouring water on the exposed part. The soil would not allow
water to pass through.
Further experimentation showed the
ground under the ring to be dry to a depth of one foot. The ring itself
was composed of a whitish substance, which was sent for laboratory
analysis. The lab findings found that there were fibers in the soil of
an organism called Actinomycetales actiniomycete nocardia, which is an
intermediate organism between bacteria and fungus, and is “often found
together with a fungus of the order Basidomycetes, which may fluoresce
under certain conditions...” One possible interpretation is that
high-energy stimulation triggered the spectacular growth of the Nocardia
and of an existing fungus, and caused the latter to fluoresce.
Phosphorous may also have been baked out of the soil and may have been
the substance that numbed Mrs. Johnson’s fingers when she touched the
ground. The experience of Ron Johnson is still considered one of the
best documented "ground trace" UFO cases on record.

her ranch near Austin, Texas. When she opened the door they ran inside
and hid under the living room couch. When she looked out the window, she
saw an "elliptical moon" object lighting up her backyard and part of the
pasture beyond. Going to the front door, she discovered a strange little
vehicle that had landed on her lawn, which resembled a Volkswagen
without fenders or doors. From the top emerged three small men dressed
in dark garments, one of whom communicated with her telepathically,
saying, "Are there any pigs in that field? They are hungry." Then she
saw, near the men, two peculiar looking creatures covered with fuzzy
hair, but standing erect. She retreated back inside her house, and when
she looked out again the object was airborne, and the "moon" was gone.
Later she learned that several pigs had been lost at a nearby
farm.

Description: (Translated from French) Angelo Cello,
behind in his plowing, was with his tractor in the field and had been
plowing since the night before at 9 pm, until November 14 at 1 am. At a
certain moment he saw a light about 2 km away diagonally down and
thought that a colleague was working like him. He went up the slope and
felt that it was bright. He was flown over by lights without a defined
outline, located at 50 m altitude and to his unpleasant surprise he saw
these lights descend vertically and suddenly panicked. He left the
tractor with the headlights on and the engine running. He fled to his
brother's house a few hundred meters away. He nevertheless turned around
and saw (it was as bright as day) five lights parallel to each other
about ten meters above the tractor. Regaining courage he waited and
after a few seconds the lights rose, rose to fifty meters and moved back
on the trajectory followed on arrival.

Description: (Translated from French) In Bordeaux
(France), farmer Angelo Cellot is plowing one of his fields late at
night under the headlights of his tractor, despite a dark sky and a
light rain. Suddenly, Cellot thinks he sees a light coming from another
tractor. He then realizes that the light is in the sky and is moving in
his direction. He then assumes it is a helicopter and continues his
work. This light, preceded by another red one, follows him along the
field, hovering just above him. Then, 5 extremely powerful beams shoot
out of it towards the ground. The witness is unable to guess the nature
of the object that produces them. When the UFO starts to descend towards
him, Cellot takes off, leaving the tractor with the headlights on and
the engine running. Almost immediately, the UFO rises and slowly heads
north. It is only then that Cellot realizes that it had made no noise.
He returns to his home, deeply shaken. (November 14, 1:50 AM)

Description: (Translated from French) (cf: continuation
of October 11, 1971) At 9:30 PM Paulo Gaetano was returning in a car
with passenger Elvio Bianchi. He felt that the car was not pulling
normally and he mentioned it to his companion, who replied that he was
tired and wanted to sleep. The engine stalled and Paulo had to pull over
to the side of the road. That is when he saw the craft about three and a
half meters away from him. A beam of red light emanated from it, which
apparently caused the car door to open. Several small beings appeared,
took Paulo into the craft and laid him on a small table. After tying his
arm they lowered an apparatus resembling X-rays from the ceiling. He
felt a cut near his elbow. They then showed him three panels, one of
which depicted the city of Itaperuna and the other an atomic explosion.
Paulo felt numb. Did Elvio see the saucer? No, he only saw a bus. Elvio
said that Paulo had become nervous and said that they were being pursued
by a saucer. The car had stopped and Elvio had to come to Paulo's aid
who had fallen to the ground behind the car. Elvio was unable to explain
why the door was open and what had happened to Paulo who was injured on
the elbow, nor could he explain why they had taken the bus. (see
continuation on December 5, 1971 - also note that on November 15 and 16,
1971 Paulo Caetano had taken photos of the UFO each time) (Jacques
VALLEE: "Other Dimensions" - trans. Robert Laffont 1989 - p. 216, 217)
In 1971, two men from Babaeiras were allegedly taken aboard a UFO by
some small "aliens" and held captive for five hours.

Description: Following a pre-arranged date with some
mysterious entities, the well known stage psychic Uri Geller and
physicist Andrijah Puharich drove to the appointed place near Tel Aviv,
Israel around 10:00 p.m. There they saw a bluish light pulsating over a
small square of open field. Geller felt an irresistible attraction
towards the light. They left the car and heard a cicada-like electronic
noise. Geller remembered asking Puharich and another witness, named
Iris, to wait there and he set off towards the pulsating light. As he
approached it he felt like he was entering some sort of trance.
Everything became completely silent around him and he felt like he had
entered some type of "vacuum." The very air had changed quality. He then
remembered seeing a strange "building" or UFO having no discernible
shape whatsoever. Soon a shapeless dark figure parted from the strange
building and approached him, then put something in his hand. Geller felt
a sudden feeling of fear and ran back to Andrijah and Iris. Before he
reached them he realized what was in his hand: it was the very same pen
that had mysteriously vanished from their experiment box.

lights over the shore in Muchalls, Scotland. One of the lights seem to
follow him. The light swooped very low, almost at ground level, and he
then saw a figure dressed in a long robe in the middle of the road. It
seemed to be glowing and blocking the road. When he stepped one yard
towards the figure it suddenly vanished. He then ran the rest of the way
home, frightened and totally confused.

light, like an airplane trying to land. The light disappeared and then
he saw it in a field near the runway. He approached: it was a very
intense light blue light. At twenty meters he noticed that it was an
oval shape emitting this blinding light. And then he saw the being. He
was walking near the thing, he was small, one meter tall or less,
bareheaded, wearing a khaki uniform and small boots. They looked at each
other fixedly, the being and the witness, who was terrified. Then the
creature turned around, raised his arms horizontally and lifted off the
ground, he returned to his craft as if he was attracted by a force, from
the top, head first. Inside there were at least two other beings, they
were looking at the witness without moving. A kind of slide closed with
a small sound. The object moved away first slowly and at fifty meters at
a lightning speed, disappearing in a second.

Description: Prior to the launch of a Black Arrow
rocket, an unidentified aircraft is seen by a trained meteorological
observer over prohibited airspace at the RAAF Woomera Range Complex in
South Australia. The RAAF explains it as reentering space debris,
although it is impossible to confirm. (Swords 401) Last week of December
— After sunset. Norman W. Kasting is flying on a commercial airliner
between Dallas, Texas, and Denver, Colorado. He notices something
approaching the plane from behind on the west side. It passes within a
few hundred yards of the aircraft and 10–20 feet below its level, flying
faster than the plane. The object is metallic and shaped like an
upside-down bowl about 30–40 feet in diameter and 15 feet tall. It has
orange or amber lights around the edge.

Description: Mr. da Silva e Souza, 60, saw an intense
blue-lighted object on the ground near the airport in Itaperuna, Brazil.
The UFO was about eight feet long, transparent, ovoid shaped, and was
illuminated from within by a blue light. A short humanoid, less than a
meter tall, walked around the craft once, and then seemed to float up
into the air and enter the craft from above, feet first. There were two
other short beings seated inside. The craft then flew away.

Description: (Translated from French) Two young women
in their twenties saw a gray, metallic, egg-shaped UFO that was lit up.
They were suddenly struck by a red beam and both were paralyzed from
head to toe; they could neither breathe (note from vog???) nor hear, nor
scream. After a fierce struggle, one of the two young women managed to
free herself for a few seconds. As she was about to reach her companion,
the beam struck her in the back. She then felt an unbearable heat and a
vibration throughout her body. Both felt abandoned and had lost their
sense of time (note from vog: still without breathing?). Finally freed
from the beam, they rushed into the nearest house. Their clothes were
covered in mud and one of them had lost a shoe [note from vog: logical,
after the beam adventure!] (1972, unspecified date)

Description: At three a.m. Norman Chastain was out
fishing late at night in the St. Johns River near Blount Island, Florida
when he saw something like "half a ball" with orange and blue flashing
lights. It came "directly toward my boat" and hovered noiselessly
overhead at 150 feet. He turned off his light and the object slowly
moved off. He had drifted to the shore and with his spotlight he could
see in the nearby woods "the darndest looking human-like creature one
could ever imagine." Waht he saw was a humanoid creature about five feet
tall, with pointed ears, large eyes, and a sharp chin. Next a brilliant
white light hit him that paralyzed him until dawn. He noticed an
"overpowering stench" in his clothes and hair, and threw away his
clothes. Three nights later he smelt the same odor again, and in the
morning found a fungus like growth similar to "a cluster of several
flesh colored heads looking at me;" he said they "had teeth, big eyes, a
wide mouth, and pointed ears," and looked "like the devil looking
creature" he saw on Blount Island.

Saint-Pierreville, Bernard Vialle recounts, when we suddenly saw a
brilliant light burst from the ravine, along the road, about 300 meters
ahead of us. Surprised, and a bit scared, I braked. It took me about 200
meters to stop. We opened the doors, ready to flee, for during those few
seconds, a luminous sphere had appeared, rising slowly from the ravine.
It seemed to have a diameter of about thirty meters. It seemed to us
that it was heading towards us. We ran away, abandoning the car. But we
quickly realized that the thing was not pursuing us. At a very low
altitude, it had begun to fly over the side of the valley, very slowly,
sometimes stopping. It lit up the ground in a radius of 300 meters. A
firework light. A bit unreal. It was something wonderful and terrifying
at the same time. We were so captivated by the spectacle that we didn't
notice the time passing. We suddenly realized that we had been there for
more than an hour. We can't stay like this, Jean-Claude said. Tomorrow,
when we tell this, we'll be called "lunatics". We got back in the car,
but taking the road that follows the opposite slope to the one being
flown over by the "thing". When we arrived at the hamlet of Feouzet, we
discovered the valley again. The enormous luminous sphere was still
there. Fascinated, we watched it again for a long time. Then we rushed
to wake up the deputy mayor, Eugène Payot. "When Bernard and Jean-Claude
came to wake me up, they were so excited that I had a hard time
understanding what they were saying. Nevertheless, I got up and went out
to look. It was more beautiful than I could have imagined, this kind of
disc hovering, motionless, above the valley. I have no words to describe
it. We couldn't take our eyes off it and we fought against sleep to
observe it for as long as possible. Around six in the morning, the craft
moved away towards the east. Its luminosity gradually weakened, then it
disappeared. We parted without daring to talk. Thus, for five hours, the
UFO explored the valley, sometimes motionless, sometimes moving very
slowly and scanning the ground with its spotlights. And during those
five hours, Saint-Pierreville experienced an inexplicable power outage.
The gendarmes and the mayor confirmed it to me. A curious outage, since,
if the light bulbs refused to turn on, the electric radiators and the
clock of the bell tower continued to work. "It was an electromagnetic
phenomenon," said a technician. "That is why only the devices in a
closed circuit continued to work. (1972, night of February 12th to

Description: Victor
Marchetti, who has
worked as an analyst for the CIA from 1955 to 1969, announces his plans
to write a nonfiction book about the agency and completes a draft of an
article for Esquire which, according to a later CIA account, includes
“names of agents, relations with named governments, and identifying
details of ongoing operations.” The CIA receives a copy of the article
and decides to seek an injunction against its publication. The basis for
seeking an injunction against Marchetti is the secrecy agreement which
he signed when beginning employment at CIA. The agency presents the
agreement and the parts of the draft article it considers in violation
of the agreement, to Judge Albert
Vickers Bryan Jr. of the US District Court for Eastern Virginia, who
grants a temporary restraining order in April. The case proceeds to
trial, at which Bryan finds for the CIA and issues a permanent
injunction requiring Marchetti to submit his writings to CIA for review
prior to publication. Marchetti appeals the injunction to the Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals, which upholds Bryan’s restraint but limits it
to classified material. The appeals court also finds that Marchetti is
entitled to timely review of materials he submits to the CIA. Marchetti
appeals again to the US Supreme Court, but SCOTUS rejects Marchetti’s
appeal in December. Marchetti continues work on his book with a
coauthor, John
D. Marks, and signs a
book contract with publisher Alfred A. Knopf. In August 1973, they
submit their manuscript to the CIA. After reviewing the manuscript, the
agency responds with a list of 339 passages that it claims are
classified information and demands their deletion. Marchetti and Marks
reject the demand and indicate they will go to court to print the
manuscript as written. The CIA then withdraws its objections to 171 of
the items but stands firm on the remaining 168. The trial is held again
before Judge Bryan. This time, however, he rejects all but 26 of the
deletions requested by the CIA on the grounds that the information in
them is not properly or provably classified. The CIA appeals Bryan’s
ruling, and ultimately the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upholds all
168 of the deletions. The book is published by Knopf in 1974 as The CIA
and the Cult of Intelligence. It is printed with blanks for deleted
passages and boldface type for the 171 deletions that CIA originally
requested and later withdrew. It is the first book the federal
government of the United States ever goes to court to censor before its
publication.

being about one meter tall, its body resembling leather, weighing

Description: At 2:30 a.m. Diana Granville Matthews was
driving along the Warminster-Bath Road near Norridge Common, England
when she saw an orange oval-shaped UFO that crossed the path of her
vehicle. It came from behind a hedgerow to her left and sailed down to
road level, no more than 12 yards in front of her car, before lifting
and careering over another hedgerow and out of sight. Startled, she did
not stop to investigate but continued driving on. No sooner had her
dazed vision become re-accustomed to the road when she saw a tall male
figure all in white clothing walking towards her on the far side of the
road. He was a few hundred yards ahead of her and was loping along
quickly . She noted little about his facial features or coloring, but he
was of giant stature. She pressed hard on the accelerator and saw the
tall figure striding along through deep pools of water alongside the
road. She drove home badly frightened. She went to bed but at about 5
a.m. she was awakened by a sharp rapping on her front door. She heard a
voice clearly and insistently calling. She got up, went to the front
door and opened it but saw no one there.

range from black projects to routine but especially sensitive
operations, such as COMSEC maintenance or Presidential transportation
support. In addition to collateral controls, an SAP may impose more
stringent investigative or adjudicative requirements, specialized
nondisclosure agreements, special terminology or markings, exclusion
from standard contract investigations (carve-outs), and centralized

Description: (Translated from French) Daniel Laurets
(Loretz?), a fireman lieutenant, saw at 9:25 PM through the windshield,
to the right of the road, something descending towards the ground and
landing very quickly. He braked. He estimated that the object was 200m
away from him. At the moment of the landing, a kind of small red ball
covering the UFO went out. At the front, two elliptical openings were
diffusing a pale light obliquely towards the ground, which was lit. At
the back, a weak red glow was lighting the plowed field. Thirty seconds
after the landing, the lights went out and in the now black night,
nothing was visible anymore. He had a hard time making the engine of the
new R6 work properly and it coughed for several hundred meters before
running normally. (1972, 10th March)

4:10 a.m. A heavy, reddish-orange stone was found on the ground that
later vanished. According to APRO field investigator Donald Worley, the

Description: In Aubigny, Eure district, France a
63-year-old fireman spotted a disc or oval-shaped object with tripod
landing gear descend from the sky, then land 200 meters away. It had a
red ball of light on top of it and two portholes. The lights on the
object blinked out after 40 seconds. Mr. Lauretz reported that his car
engine sputtered and lost power when he attempted to leave the scene by
driving away. This effect lasted for the first 200 meters.

Description: (Translated from French) Mr. and Mrs.
Dugué observed from 9:15 PM and for 3/4 of an hour a large, immobile
sphere, so bright that Mrs. Dugué put on her sunglasses. Suddenly the
ball began to move, swaying two or three times from right to left and
left to right and then... it was a bit higher. There it stayed for 5 to
10 minutes, then it made the pendulum movement again and was even
higher. And so on. Around 11 PM it suddenly disappeared.

Description: The tabloid newspaper The National
Enquirer announces a $50,000 reward to “the first person who can prove
that an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) came from outer space and is
not a natural phenomenon.” It has appointed five experts to a
blue-ribbon panel that will evaluate all the entries: J. Allen
Hynek, R.
Leo Sprinkle, Frank B.
Salisbury, James A.
Harder, and Robert
F. Creegan. The deadline for evidence is January 1, 1973. On May 23,
1973, the panel announces that none of the entries examined warranted
the full prize, but it has decided to award $5,000 to the Johnson family
of Delphos, Kansas, for submitting the 1971 landing trace evidence. The
panel awards seven other UFO cases with a portion of the reward, the
last going to Deputy Sheriff Val
Johnson in 1980.

Description: Luis Bracamonte, a truck driver, saw a
sparkling mist appear over the fields in Granadero, Argentina around
dawn. He stopped his truck and saw the mist replaced by a blindingly
vivid light. When he opened his eyes again he saw "a large oblong
machine with a rim on the upper part and wide projections in the under
part" about 100 yards away. Three men with very broad shoulders emerged,
walking with difficulty. They "looked like Chinese, but with sharper
features." They came up to the witness and one of them touched him,
gripping his elbow. They spoke to him in a strange language, but he
understood that he should not be afraid of them. Then one of them took
out "a plaque with two shining symbols on it," and showed it to
him.

Description: (Translated from French) (cf: March 3,
1972) Another driver had a similar encounter. He was driving in the
opposite direction and saw, lying in the middle of the road, what looked
like the corpse of an animal. He got out of his car with the intention
of moving the corpse off the road. As he opened his door, he saw in the
light of the headlights the creature moving, half running, half hopping,
and jumping over the guardrail while turning its head towards the
witness. The witness took his gun and fired, but missed. The description
of the creature matched that given fifteen days earlier. This witness
went to the police station to report it.

Description: On this night in Loveland, Ohio police
officer Johnson's headlights picked up an animal lying on the road. As
he opened his car door it rose up on its hind legs and showed itself to
be a leathery skinned biped with a frog like face. It was three to four
feet tall, like the creature seen by Officer Williams two weeks before.
It stepped over the guardrail and went down the embankment of the river.
Officer Johnson took out his service revolver and fired a shot at it,
but missed.

Description: (Translated from French) At 7:15 PM,
Edouard Sessière and his 17-year-old son Christian, in a car, were
suddenly blinded near the "Cantamin" house in the Brochet district. The
light came from an object stabilized at 35 m high. The light was so
dazzling that Mr. Sessière had to stop abruptly. It looked like an
electric arc as reflected by rotating mirrors. The object did not appear
to be metallic, its diameter could be 10 m. After two minutes it pivoted
into a horizontal position, started, stopped 100 m further on to take up
its vertical position and disappeared at great speed describing a
yellow-pink-red "S" in the direction of Charvieu. The "S" disappeared
after a quarter of an hour. Physical effects on the watch and on the
car.

Description: 10:00 p.m. A boy named Mario goes out onto
his patio at Santa Maria Acuexcomac, Puebla, Mexico, to look for a broom
when he sees a bluish light, which gets larger as if it is approaching
the ground. He sees that the thing is descending into a vacant lot and,
thinking it is a hot air balloon, runs towards it. When he reaches the
lot, he sees the thing is a kind of luminous sphere giving off a blue
light like that of a welding torch. Mario now becomes frightened and
runs to call his mother. As he goes in the house, two neighbors,
Zacarian Mendoza and Manuela Carlotta de Mendoza, also see the object.
When Mario comes out again accompanied by his mother Josefina, the
object, which has been on the ground for 7 minutes, begins to rise up,
producing a hum and casting off more blue sparks. Gradually the light
and sound are lost in the sky. The next day, Mario goes to the site and
finds four deep tracks, about 8 inches deep, separated exactly from each
other in the form of a square of 8.2 feet. At an equidistant point in
the center of the tracks there is a black burnt mark on the
ground.

Description: At 3:30 a.m. the witness was roused from
sleep at his home in Soesterberg, Utrecht, The Netherlands by a loud
humming sound and saw a bright light from his window. Looking out, he
saw a blinding white light surrounded by a fog, and thought that his car
was on fire. He ran out, started his car, and began to move it. His next
recollection was that he found himself in a deserted moorland, and he
stopped his car. Next, a "human like figure" ran past the car from the
rear and then "suddenly...vanished." He got out of the car and saw a
lens-shaped object on the ground to his left, about 100 feet wide,
surrounded by a greenish glow. The green light came from windows in the
craft, and three beams shining upward from it. In one of the windows he
could see a human-like being. He approached on foot to within 10-12
feet, and he saw this figure motion to him to go back. The figure was
between five foot and five foot four inches tall, and wore a tight
fitting metallic looking coverall that had a belt with a tube that ran
to his collar. He had almond shaped eyes and seemed to be smiling.
Behind him was some sort of instrument panel. Several other humanoid
beings were seen standing behind other windows. Then the object then
"jumped" from the ground, floated for 30 feet, and then "hurled away"
with a scraping noise to the wouthwest. Traces were later found at the
landing site.

Location: PERU, Huaypo Lagoon
Description: (Translated from French) During an
excursion with 4 cars and a total of 15 adult people and two children,
when they arrived at Huaypo around 8:00 pm, all 4 cars suddenly stopped.
Worried, they started to examine the engines and then heard a buzzing
coming from the north. It was an object of 10 to 15 m in diameter moving
quickly in a straight oblique line towards the lake and slowly
submerging into it. It was a silver-blue disc surrounded by an orange
halo and when it submerged, the water of the lake turned orange at the
point of impact. The engines of the cars could be restarted 2 to 3
minutes after this phenomenon. (April 1972)

Location: FRANCE, Sainte Soulle
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. X was driving
and was 2 km from his home. It was around 10 pm. In a bend near a wood,
he saw on the right a light seeming to come from a clearing near the
road. When he got close, he was astonished to see a very large
disc-shaped object with a dome on top, apparently resting on four legs.
Panicked, the witness tried to drive away and noticed that the
headlights were off and the car wouldn't start. He stayed there for 45
minutes. A progressive paralysis spread through his limbs and voice. At
the end of his forced wait, in absolute silence, he saw a tiny, blackish
figure, thin, 1m tall, jump out of the wood bordering the clearing, jump
onto the edge of the disc, then jump again and disappear into the dome.
Immediately the craft took off in a pendular ascent, stopping for a few
seconds between 50 and 90 meters. Then, in a beam of light, it headed
towards Marans, the marshes of Brie and St Michel to the north. Mr. X
saw his headlights come back on but was still shocked. He was dazed,
crying at the wheel of his car, unable to move. It was 10:50 pm, when
Mr. G.'s (Mr. X's neighbor) magnetic detector went off, emitting a
discontinuous sound. Mr. G., interested in UFOs, took his car and found
Mr. X, half-unconscious. It was only the next day that he could tell his
story and remember. However, he was left with partial amnesia, not
remembering the events of 6 months ago. His memory returned several
weeks later. There were numerous traces, including a cow in the meadow
near the wood from which the humanoid had emerged: the farmer found it
dead, marked with three neat holes in the middle of its forehead between
the eyes.

Location: Canada, Val Senneville (Quebec)
Description: (Translated from French) Jacques Fortier
was walking at 10:30 PM. "Having reached the top of a small hill (...) I
saw lights that went out in front of me. (...) I continued to walk with
my head down and it was after a while, when I looked up, that I saw with
astonishment a kind of "machine" in the shape of a spinning top,
difficult to describe. I am sure I heard something moving inside. At the
same time I realized that I was no longer able to move, I was like
frozen in place. A whole panel of the half of the machine in front of me
opened (noise) and out of it came an extremely strange object, a kind of
double triangle (thickness) attached at the base and which stayed close
to the "machine" at the level of a kind of raised hem that separated the
machine in the middle. It was like a kind of transmitter device that
transmitted this to me: "Don't talk too much, for you too will no longer
speak". The voice was hard, hoarse, separating the words (I heard it in
my head and maybe not elsewhere...) The speaking thing was spinning
while staying close to the central bulge of the machine and the
background noise seemed like a kind of buzzing: bzz... bzz..." The
witness's surprise came mainly from the fact that he was immobilized for
half an hour while normally it only takes five minutes to go from the
neighbor's house to his own. He arrived home at 11:35 PM. (...)

Hynek also writes he suspected Blue Book was a “front” for a more classified investigation, stating he was told to drop one case and told by higher-ups “not to pursue the matter further.” This is significant because for decades the USAF used Blue Book’s conclusions to debunk UAP to the American public and Congressional inquiries.

Description: William G. Lestin and his wife were
driving to a motel near Salisbury, Maryland at around 11 p.m. when they
saw a luminous disc settle to the ground 100 yards away. Mr. Lestin got
out of the car and walked to within 50 feet of the object. He described
seeing a round object sitting on tripod landing gear. Moving about
underneath it were two four-foot humanoids, resembling human beings but
with long arms that dangled to the ground. They were "apparently covered
with a glazed coat of grayish material" and wore helmets. As he watched,
a door opened and a ramp descended; the two humanoids re-boarded and the
object rose up into the air with a blinding red light. The entire
incident had lasted more than five minutes. Mr. Lestin was terrified by
his experience and had to be sedated when he arrived at his
destination.

Description: Aarno Heinonen was at home in Imjarvi,
Finland at 10:15 p.m. when he heard a strange noise, and then a female
voice that told him to go alone to a certain crossroads. He did so, and
encountered a 4 foot, 8 inch tall young woman with blond hair, wearing a
yellow pantsuit that seemed to glow, and silver colored shoes. She
carried a silvery ball by a handle, and it had three antennae like
projections on it. She told him that her people had come from "the other
side of the Milky Way" and that three different kinds of humanoids,
ranging from very small to very tall, had visited Imjarvi. She also told
him that she was 180 years old, and instructed him not to mention the
contact to anyone else. Heinonen previously had a dramatic close
encounter with a friend while out cross-country skiing in January
1970.

Description: The principal witness, along with her
mother and two friends, were driving to the village of Collage near
Molong, New South Wales, Australia at around 8:00 a.m. As she sat in the
back seat she looked out the window to her right and noticed a large
bright shiny object. It was saucer shaped with a dome on top, and along
side of it on the left was a very tall person dressed in an outfit that
glowed the same as the ship. Another similar figure was walking towards
the road (the craft was about 30 meters away from a fence line, which
was 5 meters from the road). A third figure was standing on the right
side of the object near a dead tree. All three had on the same clothing
with helmets with black visors. She described the aliens as being very
tall, approximate eight feet in height. As the car drove she noticed
that they seemed to be collecting items from the ground. She also
noticed that the one walking towards the road seemed to have turned his
helmet and look at their vehicle as it drove off. The witness never told
anyone else in the car what she had seen.

Description: New York City artist and psychic Ingo Swann visits
the Stanford Research Institute [now SRI International] in Menlo Park,
California, to begin remote viewing experiments. He is brought by Harold E.
Puthoff and other scientists to a building where, several floors
below, is a heavily shielded magnetometer whose sole function is to
measure quarks. One scientist asks him to “perturb” the device. As Swann
sits there trying to visualize the magnetometer, a scientist monitoring
it tells the group that the needle is moving wildly and malfunctioning.
The scene is repeated several more times, each time when Swann is
imagining the device. Puthoff is intrigued. He writes up his findings
and a few weeks later he is visited by two CIA intelligence analysts who
want Puthoff and SRI to investigate remote viewing for espionage
purposes.

Description: (Translated from French) A red fireball,
one meter in diameter, changing color and becoming green, then white,
was observed hovering above the trees of a farm. Bernie Smit fired
several shots at the object, with no result. An hour later, the alerted
police arrived and they then saw a black sphere fleeing behind the trees
at their approach. They fired at the ball. It then became gray-white,
frolicking above the trees, with a loud noise of air stirring. (Janet

Port Beaufort, Farmer de Klerk was watering his cattle in a meadow.
Suddenly he saw a plume of smoke in the clear and cloudless sky. The
smoke quickly headed towards him and exploded into a roaring fireball.
Terrified, de Klerk dropped his bucket and ran to fetch the boss, Bernie
Smit. Mustering a group of workers, Smit returned to the scene to find
the fireball hovering above the meadow. As the men climbed the fence,
the fireball fled and rose up. (1972, June 20th or 26th)

Description: (Translated from French) Javier Bosque,
preparing a degree in theology and philosophy, lies down on the bed to
read "Don Quixote" and turns on the radio at the lowest volume. At a
late hour of the night, he does not hear due to this a crackling of
background noise: around two o'clock in the morning he is still reading.
Suddenly it seems to him that the light increases in intensity. He puts
down his book and looking towards the window he sees a strong luminosity
through the slits of the slightly open window. His curiosity turns to
fear when he realizes that the window is opening slowly, allowing
passage to a luminous object that comes towards the center of the room.
It moves slowly, two meters from the ground, without noise. The light
hurts the eyes and Javier has taken refuge under the covers, eyes
half-closed. The object rises, descends to 40 cm from the ground, stops.
Since this thing is in his room the transistor emits strangely
high-pitched whistles. He sticks out his arm from the covers and turns
on the recorder. The device descends even lower, begins an exploration
with a laser-like beam of 5 cm in diameter, from the radio to the
recorder. Once this beam is completely retracted the device rises to 2
m, after a few seconds of immobility, flies towards the window and
disappears. When no more whistling was audible he stopped the recorder
and went to the window: deserted street and partially cloudy sky. The
recording has been the subject of several studies. (1972, night of June
22nd to 23rd)

Description: 2:00 a.m. Javier Bosque, a seminarist of
the order of St. Joseph Calasanz, is reading in bed at his room at the
Colegio Escolapios in Logroño, La Rioja, Spain, when he notices a bright
light outside through the half-closed shutters of his window. To his
surprise, the window begins opening by itself and a 2-foot-long,
football-shaped, metallic, luminous object enters his room and
approaches the foot of his bed. His radio begins to emit a loud,
continuous sound. He reaches over and turns on a cassette tape recorder.
The object descends from about 6 feet above the floor to 15 inches above
it. A beam of solid light extends from the object, touching the radio
twice, retracts, then touches the cassette recorder. Bosque grabs the
recorder and holds the microphone in his lap. The object ascends to
about 6 feet above the floor and moves out the window and up. The radio
sound weakens. The 8-minute sound recording is analyzed by laboratories
in Spain, Brazil, France, and the US. It contains some pure tones at
first, followed by modulations in amplitude. Robert H. Coddington finds,
after an analysis of the tape, that it most likely is a recording of the
chance reception of an ordinary test transmission from a terrestrial
broadcast station and does not match Bosque’s narrative.

Description: (Translated from French) Sergio Gugerman,
12 years old, ran back home around 1:30 pm, drawing attention to an
object suspended at a certain height above a pine tree. The child said
he had seen the object rise up from behind the cane and banana
plantations, in the middle of a whirlwind of dust, leaves and grass. The
spectacle made the horses and cows gallop. The witnesses ran towards the
object and saw that it was round, dark underneath, and shiny on top. It
looked like an enlarged bladder. It moved without making any noise.
Before accelerating southwards, it dropped a rain of shiny paper leaves,
which the children wanted to catch, but suddenly they rose towards the
craft, as if sucked up by it. Traces. The day before, Sergio's father
had heard a noise around 7 pm, which his wife thought was a branch
falling, but they had not gone out to see.

Description: 8:00 a.m. Bennie Smit, the new owner of
Braeside Farm 9 miles from Fort Beaufort, Eastern Cape, South Africa, is
alerted to a “fiery red ball hovering at tree-top level” by his hired
hand Boer de Klerk. Its color changes to bright green and then to
whitish yellow, with flames shooting out. Smit dashes home, grabs a
rifle, and calls the police. He shoots at the object, but the bullets
have little effect. At 10:30 a.m., police sergeant Piet C. Kitching and
warrant officer P. R. van Rensburg arrive at the spot where the UFO is
still hovering. As the object moves away, Smit fires at it an eighth
time; this time he hears a thud, and the object moves up and down and
stops changing colors. Smit and Kitchin fire at it some more, after
which it disappears and reappears about 60 feet away looking gunmetal
gray in color and somewhat oval-shaped. After they fire two final shots,
the object moves away through the trees around noon. The next day, van
Rensburg leads a team of police officers to the site, looking for
evidence. They find nine circular imprints of its supposed landing gear
found in damp clay soil. On June 28, Brig. A. Vosloo, divisional
commander of police for the Eastern Cape, takes soil samples and plaster
casts of the imprints.

Description: At 8 o'clock in the morning some native
farm laborers came running to farmer Bennie Smith, the owner of the
Braeside farm, near Fort Beaufort, South Africa. They thought they saw a
fire in the thick bush land. Thinking it might be poachers on his land,
Mr. Smith went to the spot with his .303 rifle. Hovering partially
behind some brush 200 yards away was a glowing egg-shaped UFO. He went
and called the police, and at 9:00 a.m. Sergeant P. Kitching and Warrant
Officer P. van Rensburg arrived at the site. The color of the object was
a gun metal blue but after they watched it for a while it started to
glow red all over. They were sure it was under some form of intelligent
control because when the farm laborers shouted from the bush the object
moved down out of sight of the witnesses.
They decided to
shoot at it with the rifle. Fifteen rounds were fired. They heard a thud
from the seventh shot. The UFO changed color from a red glow to a green
glow and then to yellow, and rocked from side to side. They watched it
for another hour before the police had to leave the area. Mr. Smith
stayed to see it leave a short while later. It turned on end and climbed
rapidly into the sky, making a humming sound.

Description: J. Allen
Hynek publishes The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry, in which
he charges the Air Force with indifference and incompetence in its UFO
investigations. He also critiques the Condon report and details well-
documented reports of six types of UFOs: nocturnal lights, daylight
discs, radar/visual observations, and close encounters of the first,
second, and third kind. It is an “articulate challenge to his colleagues
to tolerate the study of something they cannot understand,” according to
a reviewer in Science.

Description: At 1:30 a.m. a landed UFO started a grass
fire when it took off in King William's Town, South Africa. The object
resembled a "sailor's cap." Some witnesses in a car attempted to pursue
the object but it accelerated out of sight. At 9 p.m. an orange fireball
made a huge arc through the sky and then came to hover over some trucks
at the Witput railway station in Kraankuil, South Africa. At 10:15 p.m.
a huge flying sphere hovered only seven meters in front of a car in
Vryburg, South Africa. It changed colors from red to green, gave off
sparks, turned yellow, and was gone in a huge flash.

Description: (Translated from French) Severino
Porchietto driving a 1968 Ford Falcon and his passenger Attilio
Brunelli, both in their fifties, were surprised at 3:10 AM by a bright
flash of light illuminating the area as if it were broad daylight. A few
moments later they saw to the left of the road, 50 meters away, a row of
rectangular lights which they took to be those of a stopped train: 2
meters high and 70 cm wide, separated by dark posts 50 cm wide, emitting
an orange light. As they talked between themselves, they suddenly
realized they were in a town they estimated to be Rio Primero, which
they found strange since they should have gone through towns like
Transito and Santiago Temple. They were back home at exactly 3:30 AM,
having covered the 185 km in only one hour! The car had only consumed
12.5 liters of gasoline! Then the driver remembered, but two days later,
that at a certain moment, after the flash, he had been surprised by the
abnormal smoothness of the car's driving, as if it were swaying gently.
There were physiological consequences.

Description: (Translated from French) Giordano Orioli
was woken up around 1:15am by the barking of the dog, which was running
frantically from the door of the house to the garden gate. He simply
brought the dog in, which calmed down. Around 4:40am Lina Orioli,
shortly after getting up, opened the window and immediately saw the
object while it was still dark. She called her husband. They thought it
was a broken down truck parked outside the road. Around 5:00am Giordano
went out with the tractor intending to move this "truck". But.. it was a
rectangular object 6 or 7m long and 1.50m high with a curved top part
bringing the total height to 3.5m according to his estimation. On the
wide side, in the curved part, there were two rows of four round, nickel
or silver-colored portholes, about 40cm in diameter, and a tube or
curved antenna coming out of the narrow side and pointing towards the

making a noise like 3 or 4 gas bottles opened at the same time. Too
stunned, the witness didn't even follow it with his eyes

Description: 9:15 p.m. Maureen Puddy sees the same
object she had seen on July 3 at almost the same spot. This time it
seems to drain power from the car, causing it to stop, the car steering
itself off the road. A voice in her head tells her, “All your tests will
be negative. Tell media, do not panic. We mean no harm.” Several months
later, she is “mentally” abducted into a room where she sees an entity.
This event occurs while two other people are present with her, but they
only report that Puddy lapses into unconsciousness. On a later occasion,
the entity appears as she is driving the car. (Judith M. Magee, “The
Close Encounter of Maureen Puddy,” Australian Annual Flying Saucer
Review, 1983, pp. 4–9; Judith M. Magee, “The Close
Encounter of Maureen Puddy,” Victorian UFO Research Society, 1996;

1992): 13–14, 23; Mark Cashman, “Behavioral Classification System for
UFO Occupants,” IUR 24, no. 1 (Spring 1999): 20) July 27 — The Senate
Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Oceans and International Environment
holds hearings on Senate Resolution 281, proposing an international
treaty to ban weather modification as a weapon of war. Dartmouth
environmental scientist Gordon
J. F. MacDonald opposes the bill, saying that research needs to be
unfettered, but he mentions weapons that might use electrical waves,
created by the differential between the ionosphere and the surface of
the earth, “that would be tuned to the brain waves…. About ten cycles
per second…. You can produce changes in behavioral patterns or in
responses.”

Description: The witness, a 37-year-old woman, saw a
blue light from a saucer-shaped object nearby while driving in
Frankston, Victoria, Australia on this evening. She tried to accelerate
away from the object, but her car's engine died, although the headlights
remained on. She felt as if she was "under observation" and heard a
voice. Her engine then started by itself and the saucer left. The woman
had seen the same object before on July 3.

Description: In a continuing series of strange
encounters at Cradle Hill in Wiltshire, England Robert Mason and Stephen
Barnett had reached a field beyond the copse at 9:15 p.m. while it was
still light out. A short while later they both looked back towards a
barn and caught sight of a figure, resembling that of a small man or
boy, in the clearing just in front of the barn. Upon being noticed the
figure dodged out of sight behind the side of the barn. Stephen looked
through binoculars to see if the being would pass the line of trees
leading back down the road to the gate, but saw nothing. They searched
the copse but found no one.

two CIA intelligence analysts. With Swann in a Faraday cage, the SRI
team conducts a series of what’s-in-the-box tests in which office
supplies hidden inside a box are presented to Swann, who is asked to
identify the objects inside. During a lunch break one of the CIA agents
walks outside and collects a small brown moth, capturing it alive, and
sealing it inside a box. When Swann looks at the box, he sees “something
small, brown, and irregular, sort of like a leaf…. Except that it seems
very much alive, like it’s even moving.”

Description: Numerous UFO sightings are reported
throughout rural areas of Puerto Rico, as well as in San Juan and Ponce.
People travel to the small town of Adjuntas, where the objects are seen
frequently. One Friday night, the mayor of Adjuntas is traveling with a
group of people in three cars along a lonely stretch of road in Barrio
Garzas when he sees three bright discs moving through the sky. Their
light changes in color and intensity. Sightings also center on the town
of Utuado, where the Air National Guard has scrambled F-104s to chase
the objects. A teacher at Utuado High School is driving back from town
with his brother when they see a bright light off in the bush 300 feet
from the road. They get out of the car and approach the light, which is
sitting in a clearing. It is a flattened disc about the size of a small
house and has a set of small, dark rectangles evenly spaced around its
edge. It is brilliantly lit and its colors are constantly changing. They
watch the object for a few minutes until it vanishes like “someone
turning off a light.”

Description: On this night in a heavily wooded area
near Beaver Lake, Alberta, Canada a man felt compelled to go to a
campsite where he was convinced he would see a UFO. The main witness and
two other men who accompanied him waited at the site for several hours
before they saw a light travel across the lake and descend behind some
nearby trees. Shortly later they heard heavy footsteps of someone
approaching through the trees. Frightened, they ran to their car and
began to drive away when a giant creature resembling an octopus with
large tentacles appeared, apparently trying to grab them. The three men
got out of the car and struggled with the creature, but soon got back
into the car and drove away, stopping at a field outside the forest.
They then went back, but the creature had disappeared by then.

foot tall man who was wearing a shallow helmet. The man had a long chin
and a turned up collar. Then his car engine stalled, whereupon a UFO
next landed in a nearby field and his passenger left the vehicle unseen.
The car's door handle lay in the road, detached.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 2:30 in
the morning, the witness who was camping with her husband in the garden
of a friend's couple was taking a breath of fresh air outside. She saw a
very bright illuminated shape the size of a Fiat Isotta in the hills
when she heard footsteps behind her, like those of a child. She turned
around and saw at 3 or 4 meters a shape facing her. This shape was 1.20m
tall, absolutely black. The body was parallelepiped-shaped. It seemed to
her that the shape was made of wood 30 to 40 cm thick, topped with an
ovoid shape in place of the head. Two white circles of 5 cm placed in
place of the eyes were the only thing that stood out from this
motionless mass, whose bottom was hidden in the tall grass. The witness
felt a morbid impression as if the shape wanted to neutralize her, and
she jumped into the tent to join her husband. He did not have the
courage to come out and closed the tent from the inside.

Description: 2:30 a.m. A married couple, both college
professors, are camping out in a garden in the backyard of some friends’
home just off the road to Nîmes at Saint-Jean-du-Gard, Gard, France. The
woman is walking outside and sees a shiny white ball the size of a small
car sitting in a nearby parking lot. She hears footsteps behind her and
sees a dark shape about 4 feet tall in the shape of a parallelepiped
topped by an oval where a head would be. It has 2 white circles for
eyes, but no visible arms or legs. It turns toward her and she feels an
extraordinary fear. After a few seconds, she runs back inside the
tent.

Description: A woman teacher was camping out in the
yard of a friend's house in Saint Jean Du Gard, France and had gone out
for a walk at 2:30 a.m. when she noticed a white spherical light that
appeared to be in a nearby field. As she stood there watching, she heard
footsteps behind her that sounded like someone walking on the dry grass.
When she turned around, she was confronted by a five-foot tall,
robot-like being that was completely black. Its head was egg-shaped and
it had two round white discs for eyes. The witness felt an unbelievable
level of fear and had the feeling that the being possessed extraordinary
powers; it could in fact control "nature itself." She blacked out and
when she recovered found herself back in her tent with her husband. That
same morning a truck driver named Marcilio was forced to stop his
vehicle in the pre-dawn hours on the Amaral Peixoto Highway in Brazil
when the road was blocked by a UFO sitting on the road with yellow and
blue flashing lights. It took off rapidly.

Location: Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, France
Description: 2:00 a.m.–5:00 a.m. About 30 young members
of the Taizé Community in Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, France, are having a
discussion in a rustic theatre circle to the northwest of the community
buildings. Renata Faa is the first to see a star-like object come out of
the sky in the west. It lands on the ground on a ridge facing them.
Eventually, after more yellow lights appear on the object, they see it
as cigar-shaped and about 100 feet long. Five other white lights emit
luminous beams that extend progressively across the ground. Two cupolas
are visible on its left side. Three small white discs appear on the
right side, apparently emerging from the main object, and perform
complex maneuvers. Some of the witnesses feel a tingling in their
fingertips and knees. Faa and three of the other witnesses decide to
walk through the fields and approach the object. Around 3:00 a.m., a
multitude of red particles appear in the air around the approaching
witnesses and in the ground around them. The lights on the object
constantly change their patterns of display and movement. The four
witnesses see a dark mass like a haystack on their left about 30 feet
away. A small red light is moving haphazardly around it. When one of
them shines a flashlight on the haystack, the beam travels horizontally
for a bit then is directed perpendicularly upward. Finally, toward 5:00
a.m., the large object rises up and moves off to the south, following
the terrain.

Description: At 1:55 a.m. a huge elongated elliptical
object with bright lights hovered near the ground in a forest near
Taize, Saone-Loire department, France. It emitted light beams downward,
and smaller satellite white disc-shaped objects emerged from it. The UFO
reacted to a light flashed at it and caused some physiological
effects.

Description: Raimundo Alvarez and Pancho Torres, two
masons, were working on a roof drain at around two o'clock in the
afternoon in Istapalapa, Mexico when they heard a humming sound. Next
they noticed that all ordinary daytime sounds had eerily ceased,
creating a "stifling" silence. About 50 yards away from them Alvarez saw
two strange, eight-foot tall figures, dressed in bright silvery clothing
resembling fish scales. When they got closer the two men could see that
the beings were unusually broad shouldered and slender. They had round
heads that were bright silver in color, with two round bumps in place of
eyes, small ears, no visible mouths or noses, hands with four digits,
and large webbed feet like those of ducks. They "seemed to float in air"
while walking. The beings started to approach the witnesses, but just
then a woman carrying a milk can came around the corner of the house,
and the two creatures "flew" toward her. A great deal of dust arose from
the ground; the two entitiesvanished into it and were not seen
again.

Description: On this day or the day before, at 4:30
a.m. Mrs. Doris Muthwa and her 12-year-old daughter were drawing water
from a river in Roosboom, Natal, South Africa when she looked up and saw
what first looked like a man in a white suit, who appeared to be was
smoking a cigarette, but then the smoke became a big fire. "There was a
bright light shining from his chest which went pink and blue," Mrs.
Muthwa said. She estimated that the figure was more than 11 feet tall.
She felt an electric shock in his presence, and added, "He must have
been emitting some kind of electricity, because it felt just like when I
touch the [electric] iron and my body goes all jerky." Suddenly, the
giant apparition shot into the sky and disappeared. The woman and her
daughter ran from the spot, spilling the water in their flight.

Wisconsin at around 2:00 a.m. hoping to hitch a ride to Eau Clare, when

two beings about five feet tall. They took some samples of the
vegetation and got back into the object, which then lifted off. He said
he observed the phenomenon for 15 minutes.

Description: A man was driving down the highway in
Rural, Illinois on this night when a bright light in the sky caught his
attention. He followed it to where he saw a disc-shaped craft descend
and hover close to the ground. A door opened in the craft, and an angled
plank slid down from it from the doorway to the ground. Several slim
humanoid figures wearing coveralls began to exit the craft. The witness
crept up to it and suddenly the outer rim slid aside, following the
curve of the craft, exposing transparent cylinders, which looked to be
incubators with infants inside them. As the witness stared at them in
disbelief, one of them opened its eyes and smiled at him, and he smiled
back, then a look of distress came upon its face as if it appeared to be
having trouble breathing. The man proceeded to pound on the glass,
trying to break it open, and then picked up a rock intending to smash it
open, but he abruptly felt himself being lifted up, from his two sides,
away from the craft. He believes that the aliens knew he had been trying
to help, and were glad that the noise he created alerted them to the
apparent problem with the incubated hybrid. His memory ends at this
point with an ensuing period of missing time.

Description: At around 3:00 a.m. Eduardo Dedeu was
driving home between Medanos and Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina
when he stopped to pick up a very tall hitchhiker wearing a coat with
the collar turned up. His chin was much longer than normal. To Dedeu's
remarks the stranger made unintelligible replies. After several miles,
his car's lights went out and Dedeu was obliged to stop. Ahead of him on
the road was what he first took to be an overturned bus, with a large
blue light in the middle and smaller white lights on the sides. When he
got out of the car he was dazzled by a brilliant flash of white light,
accompanied by intense heat; when he could look again he saw the object,
with white lights in its windows, moving leftward. The hitchhiker was
gone, and the passenger door handle was detached, laying on the floor of
the car.

Description: (Translated from French) Mc Farlan, his
wife and the 3 children were driving at night. Suddenly a bright object
approached the car at an altitude of 10m. It was oblong and shiny "the
size of an oval dining table": 1.20m to 1.50m long, 30cm thick. The
driver accelerated, slowed down several times: the object remained above
the roof of the car. At a crossroads Mc Farlan stopped and turned off
the headlights. The object was still there. So they left, accompanied by
the UFO. Arrived at the mother-in-law's house: the UFO was waiting for
them 3m above the house of the latter, swaying slightly and turning in
oscillation. It appeared solid through a halo of white light, but no
details were visible. Five minutes later still rotating, it slowly moved
away to the west. (September 1972)

Description: 8:00 p.m. While commuting home by train
from nearby Debrecen, Hungary, workers see about 7 luminous,
orange-colored ellipses floating high above Nyírábrány. The phenomena
are still there as they are walking home from the train station. The
lights are as bright as the full moon and remain in position in a
formation of three rows. The spectacle lasts for 30 minutes. The display
is seen for the next four evenings in a row in the same part of the sky
west of the village. On the last night, one of the lights disappears but
returns to the same position in the formation.

Description: Just after midnight. Vasile Cărăbuş, a
night watchman at an agricultural cooperative in Valea Plopului,
Romania, sees a yellow star with a trail crossing the sky. It then
hovers and appears to land in an orchard on the Odaia hill about 1 mile
away. A couple days later, Cărăbuş and other locals visit the orchard
and find a circular area 15 feet in diameter where all the stems are
broken off about 3 feet from the ground. In the center of the circle is
a mound of earth about 2 feet in diameter and 15 inches high. In the
middle of this is a round hole at least 6 feet deep, around which are
three identical impresions 4.5 feet apart. Hundreds of curious onlookers
visit the site, among them engineer Justin
Capră, who
detects a substantial increase in gamma radiation in the center of the
circle. Ufologist Călin Turcu notes that the vegetation on the mound of
earth is completely absent for the next 4 years and frail after
that.

Description: 4:20 a.m. An unidentified target is
detected on radar at the Palm Beach (Florida) International Airport by
FAA air traffic controller C. J. Fox. Fox describes the contact as a
“good clear target.” The object is tracked for over an hour when at
approximately 6:00 a.m., NORAD is alerted. Two F-106 jet fighters are
dispatched from Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in
Miami–Dade County to locate and identify the object. The UFO disappears
from radar scopes shortly before the jets arrive. At the airport, FAA
watch supervisor George Morales views the object through binoculars and
describes it as silver-white in color and cigar-shaped. Officials at
Miami International Airport, which also tracks the strange object,
report no aircraft are known to be in the area where the UFO was
spotted.

Description: 8:00 p.m. A married couple in Houston,
Missouri, watches an unusual bright object after their portable TV is
disturbed by interference. It is larger than a star and persists for
several minutes before it disappears in a burst of speed. At 3:00 a.m.
they are awakened by their dogs barking at something in a nearby woods.
They see a bright flash of light at ground level. The next morning, they
find an evergreen tree about 300 feet from the house that is yellow on
one side and normal-looking on the other. Next to it is a 20 feet x 14
feet oval area of depressed grass. In the center are three small
imprints, each sowing an extension or “toe.” The imprints are about 2.5
inches long; one is 1.5 inches deep. A blackened area in the shape of a
triangle is in the center of the imprints.

Going out to see, they saw a 3-meter-tall monkey facing the entrance
door. There was a flash and the creature disappeared, seeming to enter
the body of one of the students, who then felt very ill. Later there was
another flash, the monkey came out of the student and was replaced by a
whinnying horse. [note from vog: finally a refreshing story!]

AM, Mr. and Mrs. Mahaut were awoken by an unusual, very loud noise: a
sort of hissing, and at the same time their bedroom was suddenly
illuminated by an orange light. A few minutes later, the phenomenon
repeated in reverse. Mrs. Mahaut jumped out of bed, opened the window,
and saw in the bend 250 meters away an orange, elliptical light spread
out on the ground. Everything was bathed in this light, which in fact
represented a hemispherical volume of several meters in height. The
phenomenon moved away to the west. The orange light was replaced by
orange rays, which disappeared and a cyclamen sphere rose up.

coming from St Damase swaying lightly stayed at the top of the hill for

looked like the planet Saturn, the hemisphere above the ring was gray
aluminum pierced with oval portholes three times wider than high. Two of
the witnesses decided to leave, the third had the idea of making
headlights. To his great surprise the UFO then started up and in the
blink of an eye dived towards the car, barely missing it before
disappearing. Wanting to leave, the motorist found that the engine was
stopped. He was trembling like a leaf and the next day he was still
white as a sheet: he thought his last hour had come.

Description: 12:45 a.m. A man is driving near
Rougemont, Quebec, when he sees a Saturn-shaped object about 100 feet in
diameter moving with a pendulum motion toward Mont Rougemont. It climbs
to the top of the hill and settles in for 4 minutes. He watches it
increasingly brighten from a row of windows at the upper dome and glow
pink on the bottom side. He flashes his lights at it, and it rises and
dives at his car, passing just 30 feet above it. The engine stalls, the
radio goes off, and the headlights dim. A wave of heat passes over him,
then the UFO races away. (

Description: (Translated from French) The scene of the
observations was the IKA-RENAULT factory. At 05:40 Merlo headed towards
the changing rooms (of which he was the guardian). At 01:40 he had
closed the access doors and he had to open them for the maintenance
personnel who would arrive around 06:00. He opened the first door and
switched on the light, then opened the second door and placed soap and
towels near the first sinks. At that moment he noticed that the light on
his left was off and that a person was sitting on one of the small
sinks. He was surprised. Immediately a second lamp burst with a sharp
noise, while the one that was off lit up and he noticed at the same time
that the seated figure had disappeared. Merlo quickly stepped back, but
he could not find any trace of him. He checked everything up to the
inside of the metal cabinets: there was nothing. He did not dare tell
anyone about his experience for fear of being accused of negligence. In
the evening, at 21:10, taking the bus to return to his night shift at
the factory, sitting on the 3rd row he suddenly saw in the rearview
mirror the face of the figure observed in the morning. After 3 minutes
the image faded and he then saw the scenes inside the bus. Around 22:30
he started work, but disturbed by the events he had experienced, he
decided to confide in Romero, head of the factory protection department.
The whole affair was kept secret. The witness suffered for 3 days from
an irritation of the eyes and there were strange incidents with the
lights in the changing rooms and with the witness's watch.

Description: At 5:40 a.m. in Santa Isabel, Cordoba
province, Argentina Sr. Teodoro Merlo, age 56, a maintenance worker at
the Ika-Renault car factory, unlocked and entered a company washroom and
was surprised to encounter a "man" nearly eight-feet tall sitting on the
long washbasin. The being's complexion was very pallid, and he had a
bald head with high, pointed ears. The giant wore a very tight-fitting,
dark blue one-piece garment. He noticed the uniform was glove-tight at
the wrists, and that the being held his right forefinger below his nose.
The figure suddenly vanished unaccountably from the washroom, in which
the temperature was abnormally high. Lights in the building went on and
off by themselves. Sr. Merlo later suffered eye irritation, repeated
headaches, and back pain in his lumbar region for eight days. The
witness reported that he again saw the face of the entity in a mirror on
the bus the next day.

Description: At 9:00 a.m. Virgilio Gomez was driving
along a lonely road near the University's experimental farm in Palenque,
San Cristobal, Dominican Republic when a man wearing a light green
coverall that covered even his feet waved him down. The man wore no
gloves, and had a sort of watch on his wrist. The man identified himself
as Freddy Miller, a well-known Dominican baseball player who had
disappeared mysteriously more than 13 years ago on May 5, 1959. He said
that a UFO had rescued him from drowning in a boating accident, when two
of his companions drowned, "because of my knowledge of radio technology
and my intelligence." Nearby were two slender men seven feet tall. They
were dressed like Miller. They had complexions like Orientals and short,
chestnut colored hair. Miller pointed out to Gomez the craft in which
they had arrived: it was football shaped, the size of an automobile,
with a bright "nickel plated" surface. The conversation continued for
about five minutes, during which Miller told Gomez that the humanoids
were "supposedly from Venus." Then Gomez was told to leave, because
theywere departing, and not to worry if his car wouldn't function,
because it would return to normal spontaneously. As he drove away Gomez
saw the three men approach and get into the UFO.

A couple minutes later, a very bright blue-white light appears behind
the car, enveloping the entire vehicle in light at the same time as all
electrical equipment in the car ceases to work. The headlights go out
and the engine and wipers stop. The light persists for 5 minutes, and
the temperature inside the car rises. Suddenly the light is gone, and
the electrical system works again. The car starts at the same time as
the witness smells a strong odor of ammonia or ether. The witness drives
home quickly, terrified.

Description: (Translated from French) Again at the
IKA-RENAULT factory. Around 10:30 PM, the young Moreno deposited
documents on the table in the Engineering Office, without turning on the
lights, as per routine. Immediately the lights turned on and off, three
times in a row. After that he heard a sound like a turbine, quite
unusual for the area. He was scared and quickly got on his motorcycle to
head towards the depot, 200 meters away. At 11:13 PM he made the return
trip when he saw, quite far to his right, a kind of rainbow near the
ground. Suddenly, at a distance of 100 meters to the right of the path
and 10 meters from the sidewalk, a bluish-green figure was moving
slowly. When he was 30 meters away from the being, it turned around. The
exhaust pipe of Moreno's motorcycle produced a discharge, the machine
was shaken, the engine slowed down. His motorcycle eventually stopped
inexplicably, facing the being. It was 230 to 240 cm tall, athletic,
angular face, whitish or light green, no hair, pointed ears, bright and
round eyes. No eyelids, no eyelashes or eyebrows, straight mouth. This
lasted about 30 seconds before the motorcycle started again towards the
left, made a sudden jump before starting to obey the witness. The
factory's stop work siren sounded, it was 11:30 PM but the witness's
watch had stopped at 11:13 PM. He informed the guards of the events. The
next day, around 10:30 PM, looking out the window he saw the same being
outside, in a deserted corner. (1972, September 27th and 28th)

Description: 5:40 a.m. Teodoro Merlo, maintenance man
for the Ika-Renault factory in Santa Isabel, Córdoba, Argentina, is
making early rounds at the plant. He enters a previously locked washroom
and sees a man sitting on one of the basins who is nearly 8 feet tall
and wearing a close-fitting, dark-blue, one-piece garment tight at the
wrists. It has a bald head with high, pointed ears, and very white skin.
As Merlo approaches, the light by the janitor goes out and a light near
the entity goes on spontaneously. Merlo hears a noise like “a metal
object striking glass,” and the entity disappears.

Description: At 11:13 p.m. Enrique Moreno was
delivering documents to the Ika-Renault factory in Santa Isabel,
Cordoba, Argentina when the fluorescent lights in the engineering room
went on and off three times. There was an accompanying noise like that
of a turbine lasting for several seconds. Driving his motor runabout
outside the plant he briefly glimpsed "a sort of rainbow very near the
ground," but thought no further of it until he suddenly encountered a
tall figure, glowing a bluish green, moving among a pile of chassis
beside his route. As he approached within 30 meters the figure swung
around, in a stiff mechanical way, to face him, and at the same time his
engine faltered then quit when he came opposite the being.
This humanoid figure, strongly built and about 7.5 feet tall, had eyes
like yellow light bulbs, large pointed ears, a square chin, and a
slit-like mouth. The face appeared pale green, but this may have been do
to a reflection from the clothing, a one-piece luminescent bluish-green
tight fitting coverall with a broad silvery belt. Moreno felt an
intolerable humming in his ears, a sensation of heat, and itching over
his entire body. There was also the smell of burning oil. His arms and
legs were paralyzed. After 30 seconds of this confrontation, his
motorcycle shot off to the left seemingly under its own volition at high
speed, and the witness was returned to the Security Office without his
conscious control. He arrived there at 11:30 p.m., but his wristwatch
had stopped at 11:13 p.m., leaving 15 minutes unaccounted for. Moreno
was in a highly agitated state, and subsequently suffered nausea and
pains in the neck, as well as a burning sensation in his eyes. At the
encounter site two rectangular "footprints" 8 inches x 16 inches were
found and the soil there was warm to the touch.

plant in Santa Isabel, Cordoba, Argentina a luminous object which picked
up a tall humanoid entity. It did so by means of a solid beam of blue
light. It somehow levitated or took the being up through the tube of
light and into the UFO. Others saw a luminous object rising up into the
sky from the vicinity of the auto plant.

sheet metal. This he did. He was about to back up when he saw the air
light up. Someone came from behind, walking along the right side of the
truck. Through the window, Rodriguez saw the tall figure from the side,
but not the head. When the figure arrived at the front right of the
truck, the witness saw it through the windshield. The figure pivoted on
itself and stared at Rodriguez, then made the same movement in reverse
and continued walking. Its movements were those of a robot. As it moved
away from the truck, the being crossed the road diagonally, heading left
into an alley where it disappeared behind the metal frames placed
there.

his cargo, he was just starting off when he noticed the whole area light
up. He heard someone approaching from behind, and when he looked out the
right window he saw, in profile, the torso of a very tall figure pass
close by. Only when he could see this figure through the windshield
could Rodriguez see its head. At that point the being stopped, did a
right about turn stiffly, and looked straight at him. He did another
right turn, and walked slowly and awkwardly ahead, finally crossing
diagonally to the left and disappearing behind some pallets. He had been
in view from 60 to 90 seconds. The entity was dressed in a tight
one-piece coverall of luminescent blue-green color, identical to the one
seen by Moreno four hours earlier. He was over 2.5 meters tall and his
head was bald, with the skull flattened at the rear. He hadlong, narrow
pointed ears. His eyes were numerous circles with no eyelids or
eyebrows. The nose was straight and the mouth rudimentary. His
complexion was very white. Legs and arms were extremely long, and he did
not bend his legs as he walked. In his left hand he held a small white
sphere the size of a billiard ball. He had on a wide silver belt and
large, square silver boots.
A number of physical effects
occurred simultaneous with the being's appearance: the truck's engine
and lights died, and these effects lasted until it was 25-30 meters
distant. Rodriguez was immobilized in his seat. Although he could follow
the movement of the figure with his eyes, he could not move either his
arms or legs. He heard a humming noise, similar to bees, while the
figure was in view. He sat there for several minutes after the figure
vanished, not knowing what to do. Finally, some other workers approached
to ask what was wrong and he told them what he'd seen. A search
disclosed no sign of the intruder, nor where there any traces.
Subsequent inquiries disclosed there were a number of independent UFO
observations in the area during the evening of September 27-28.

Description: 12:00 midnight. Security guard John Byrne
is patrolling Cairo Mill, an old factory at Waterhead, Lancashire,
England, that has been converted to an electronics system testing
facility for jet aircraft. Near the bicycle shed he hears a deep humming
noise like a generator inside a closed room. The sound bores into his
head. He looks up and sees a huge object parked at a height of 300 feet
adjacent to the tower end of the mill. It resembles a glowing bell shape
turned on end with the flat base vertical to the sheer wall of the
tower. The object is giving off a blue, fluorescent glow that falls like
a curtain of solid light. Byrne watches for several minutes until the
object turns sharply on edge and moves straight up into the sky until it
is only a blob of light.

Puerto Rico, Sr. Joaquin Mercado and his wife watched a triangular
formation of lights move back and forth in the sky from the terrace of
their apartment. In the early morning of the same day, twenty hospital
employees of the Aguadilla Hospital and others saw several UFOs
maneuvering in the skies. The hospital supervisor, Sra. Rosa G. de
Castro, told reporters that she had seen the dish-shaped objects, with a
cone on the upper part, very clearly. They had lights rotating around
their peripheries. At one point she saw something shoot out from one of
them towards the ground, and then come back up again.

investigate the sound. Once outside, Briggs observed a saucer shaped
object directly above the TACAN building. Briggs watched as the object
landed just south of the TACAN compound. Briggs was startled by the
object and entered the TACAN building to summoned Hillsgeck. Once
Hillsgeck and Briggs exited the building together, they observed two
"creatures" walking towards the fence. (See report by Bill Hamilton)

Description: Airman First Class Steven Briggs and
Airman Dennis Hillsgeck, stationed at McChord Air Force Base in Pierce
County, Washington, were instructed to check the tactical air
navigational (TACAN) facility located eight miles east of air base. Upon
their arrival at the site they opened the locked security fence
surrounding it and entered the compound. Once inside, they began their
systems check of the equipment. At around 2:00 p.m. Briggs heard a
high-pitched engine sound coming from outside the building, so he went
out to investigate. Once outside he observed a saucer-shaped object
directly over the building. He then watched the object land just south
of the compound. Startled, Briggs entered the building and summoned
Hillsgeck. Back outside both men observed two "creatures" walking
towards the fence. Briggs went back into the building and telephoned the
base security police. He yelled that they needed help because
"intruders" were attempting to enter the facility. Sgt. Holmes at the
security desk dispatched Sgt. Dwight Reid and AIC Michael Tash to the
scene. After 17 minutes they arrived and observed Briggs and Hillsgeck
standing near their government vehicle; both appeared to be in a daze
and neither could speak. An ambulance was summoned. Hillsgeck appeared
to have burns around the face. Tash walked around the area and found
ground marks in the soft dirt. Suddenly Reid yelled to Tash that an
object was directly overhead, and indeed the saucer-shaped object was
hovering just above the facility. Sgt. Reid attempted to communicate
with the security police desk, but the radio would not work. Reid and
Tash then got Briggs and Hillsgeck and drove them from the scene. One
mile from the site Reid was able to communicate with security, and he
requested assistance, declaring a "Covered Wagon" (a high security
violation alert). Four additional security officers arrived, including
Sgt. Darren Alexander and his dog "Champ." Approximately 400 yards south
of the site, Sgt. Alexander was alerted by his dog to two creatures
standing near a remote power station. Sgt. Alexander yelled for the
creatures to stand and raise their hands, but instead both creatures
moved towards Alexander, who noticed that one of them was holding
somekind of an object he thought was a weapon. Sgt. Alexander then fired
six rounds form his revolver. After firing the shots, Alexander returned
to his vehicle and radioed that he had fired at the creatures. Soon
another security alert team arrived. They conducted a search of the area
and also observed the saucer sitting on the ground, directly east of the
power station. They circled the craft and called for a supervisor, a
Captain Henry Stone. When Stone arrived and walked toward the object it
flew off in an easterly direction and was out of sight in a few
seconds.

Location: USSR, Tashkent, Ryzl Lake
Description: (Translated from French) Several witnesses
observed a disk that seemed to be in distress above the lake. One of the
witnesses noted the fall of silhouettes resembling vaguely wounded and
disjointed men. The police who arrived at the scene discovered the body
of a being that measured 1 m 34, with gray skin, and despite a long stay
in the water showed no signs of putrefaction. He had a prominent belly.
The specialized divers checked if there was no wreck at the bottom of
the lake: no wreck, no other bodies. But traces, photographed: a long
regular trench 4.60m wide which widened in certain points. In rocky
places the stone had been cut to the same width, but no trace of metal
torn off. The rocky walls where the rock is attacked are literally
vitrified. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..."
ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 616, 617) Around 11 o'clock in the morning a
peasant passing by a pond near Tashkent sees an oval device of 10 m in
circumference, violently shaken, falling into the pond. Little beings
are ejected during the fall. A few days later a fisherman discovers the
corpse of a small humanoid without ears, with gray skin, 1 m 34 tall

Description: (Translated from French) (cf: May 10, 69,
Mexico) Around 10 pm Enrique Mercado was enjoying the cool air on the
terrace of his house. Suddenly a tall young man was behind him.
"Enrique, do you want to come with me?" Enrique agreed. He had to attach
himself to the young man with his belt and then they found themselves
flying in the air, on an invisible beam to a saucer 10 meters wide. In
the saucer Mercado was amazed by the apparent simplicity of the
equipment: a panel with 5 buttons of different colors, a kind of screen
and two armchairs, that's all. They flew to a mothership, around which
twelve other saucers were circulating. Mercado was then dressed in a
green suit and was presented to the commander of the ship, a tall man
over two meters tall, who was dressed in blue. The commander's name was
Yastek and he showed Mercado a map of the sky. "Where are we?" asked
Mercado. "Some 100,000 km from Mexico". Suddenly, he found himself on
the balcony of his house, two hours had passed, it was close to
midnight.

Description: Enrique Mercado, who had been involved in
other alien encounters, was lounging on the terrace of his house in
Mexico City, Mexico at 8 p.m. when a very tall young man suddenly
appeared behind him. The man asked: "Enrique, do you want to come with
me?" Enrique agreed. The young man straddled Enrique as he grabs a
girdle on the man's coveralls. Then they fly through the air, inside an
apparently invisible beam, into a hovering saucer-shaped object. Inside
the craft Mercado is surprised at the apparent simplicity of the craft's
furnishings. There is a table with multi-colored buttons, a screen on
the wall, and two armchairs. The saucer then flew into a hovering
mothership, around which other saucers were hovering. Mercado is then
given a green coverall to wear and he is introduced to the commander of
the vessel, a huge man over two meters tall, who wore a blue coverall.
The commander's name was Yastek, and he showed Mercado what he called
"sky charts". Enrique is informed he is at a point some 100,000
kilometers above Mexico City. Suddenly, he finds himself on the balcony
of his house, and two hours have elapsed.

Description: 6:30 p.m. Capt. Daryle Brown and two
copilots are flying a Wardair airliner at 22,000 feet some 180 miles
northwest of Churchill, Manitoba, when they see a bright streak of light
approaching from the west. As it comes closer, it appears to be a
bullet-shaped object larger than a Boeing 727 and adorned with a cluster
of multicolored pulsating lights. Brown notifies the 15 passengers
aboard and turns out the interior lights so they can see the object
better. Almost a dozen portholes are visible, while red and yellow
lights are flashing on the top. At the rear of the object is a fog-like
cloud and orange sparks. It takes up a position about 2,500 feet in
front of the jet and on the same flight path. The object shines a beam
of light at the airplane, bathing it in light that is bright enough to
read to, and stops in mid-air directly in front of the jet. Before Brown
can take evasive action, it moves off to the right. A dense fog engulfs
the object as it disappears in the distance.

Description: 10:15 p.m. Cpl. Juan Fuentes Figueroa and
four other Uruguayan Navy seamen are stationed at the lighthouse on Isla
de Lobos, off Punta del Este, Uruguay. Fuentes goes to inspect the
electrical generators and discovers some odd lights, which prompts him
to retrieve a handgun from his room. When he returns, he notices an
object in the shape of an inverted bowl with several white, yellow, and
violet lights on top of a 20-foot terrace. An entity is next to the
object and two others (one much taller) are descending from the UFO.
They all notice Fuentes and face him from about 89 feet away. He raises
his gun to shoot but feels strangely paralyzed and confused. The beings
reenter the UFO, which moves straight up emitting a humming noise. When
it reaches a height of 150 feet, it tilts, belches a bright fireball,
and silently disappears at tremendous speed to the southeast.

gun at three entities he saw on the ground. The entities were wearing
rubber-like black diver suits, and the backs of their heads were
elongated, as if they were wearing hoods. He was paralyzed when he did
this. A blinding flash occurred when the object took off, then it flew

Description: (Translated from French) Between
Beauvechain and Tirlemont, shortly after 11 pm, the Garin couple in
their car were accompanied at 3 or 4° elevation by two blinking light
points. At 11:30 pm Mr. Garin stopped the vehicle to observe better.
They then saw that these blinking lights belonged to a dark, metallic
gray, oblong-shaped object, stationary above an apartment building. The
front was pointed and the back had a vertical fin with a blinking light
at its end. The couple stayed for ten minutes observing this strange,
silent thing that had two rows of square windows clearly visible and lit
up with a yellow light. Then, very slowly, the object started moving
west and the witnesses then heard a very faint whistling sound, like a
muffled electric motor from a coffee grinder. As it moved away, it
suddenly emitted 4 or 5 flashes of silver light that illuminated the
bottom of the object. Then it disappeared into the night.

that humans are almost certainly not the only ones in the galaxy, and
certainly not in the universe. On this occasion, anthropologist Ashely
Montagu states that other forms of life are likely more intelligent than
ours, which may explain why they have not made contact with us. They may
view us the same way we view rabbits or cholera. We should prepare to
meet extraterrestrials and not wait until contact has been established
to decide what to do.

Description: (Translated from French) In broad
daylight, at 4:20 PM, in splendid weather. "It happened above my fish
ponds," said Georges Vuillien. (...) my eyes were drawn to transparent
spirals that descended to the ponds. And there, at 50 m, I discovered
this enormous thing, motionless at about 10 m high above the small
chalet. I saw it from the side. It had a diameter of about 25 m. It was
topped with a small dome of 2 to 3 m high. The disc itself was of a
matte aluminum color. The dome was shiny like a mirror. No trace of an
opening. (...) frankly I was starting to get worried. Around this
motionless and silent machine, no shrubbery, no leaves moved. Not even
when it started to move. (...) I was really scared stiff. Slowly it
pivoted as if on a horizontal axis to turn on its side and take the
shape of a disc. It rose slowly to about 50 m. It lasted 4 or 5 seconds.
Then, suddenly it shot up to the sky, like a cannonball. It stopped at
10000 or 12000 m and was then the size of a grapefruit. After three
minutes it started moving again. My legs were shaking, I had to sit down
to recover." (November 2, 1972)

Description: 11:00 p.m. A 19-year-old is riding his
Yamaha 250cc Twin motorcycle near Heathfield, East Sussex, England, when
suddenly the headlights dim and go out and the engine fails, emitting an
“electrical arcing” odor. He looks up and sees a white blob about 100
feet away hovering above some trees. It is about 60 feet high, 30–40
feet in diameter, and glowing white but fuzzy in appearance. After a few
seconds it zooms away at about 100 mph in a straight line and is lost to
sight. The motorcycle starts by itself.

tree at the end of the court
Description: 8:00 p.m. Three soldiers (Petrus Nel,
Fanie Rosseau, and Gerrie Buitendag) are guarding a petrol dump at
Rosmead, East Cape, South Africa, when they see a red light moving in
circles above the tennis court adjacent to the primary school. At nearby
Middelburg police station, Sgt. John Goosen and Constable Koos Brazelle
are looking towards Rosmead with binoculars and see an odd light above
the town. School Principal Harold Truter sees the light moving
vertically up from his home near the tennis court. The court is churned
up with huge chunks of surface tar dug up, so he calls the Middelburg
police about it. Goosen and Brazelle respond. There are 5 holes in the
court, the largest 10 feet in diameter. Two spike holes are also found.
The only entrances to the court are still locked up and there are no
vehicle tracks inside or outside. A eucalyptus tree at the end of the
court has suddenly begun to die and appears scorched. District Police
Commandant Col. B. J. van Heerden unsuccessfully tries to duplicate the
damage with shovels.

Description: (Translated from French) Professor
Hernandez, an atomic scientist and director of the INEN (National
Institute of Nuclear Energy) is giving a lecture in the large hall. For
the first time he sees the female extraterrestrial Elyense or Lya. She
is a beautiful young woman of Oriental type, dressed in black trousers
and a black blouse, these clothes seem to be made of plastic. (Note from
Vog: there are fans of this kind of erotism, we already knew that!) Her
hair is long and black and she has beautiful green eyes. She approaches
him and simply says "You will often have news from me" and then leaves
the room. [Continued on December 18, 1972] (November 14, 1972)

Description: (Translated from French) Witness: 1; Time:
between 10:00 and 10:45 It was after a conference on flying saucers that
I met the Mercier family from La Sarre. (...) Mr. Louis-Charles Mercier,
forty. Mrs. Rose Mercier, forty. Marlene Mercier, 14 years old. Mario
Mercier, 11 years old, the main witness. The incident concerns Mario,
but the whole family collaborated in the investigation with remarkable
spontaneity. (...) "I was then 9 years old. I had gone to have fun on
the skating rink located 214 m from the house. Then, for no reason, at
one point, I looked up at the sky. It was then that, with astonishment,
I saw like a cloud descending towards the ground at a vertiginous speed
and which landed close to the shed attached to the house, on the side of
the kitchen. This unusual spectacle was becoming more and more
interesting, but also frightening, when three small "divers" black and
square in shape, with a grayish face and measuring about 1.20 m, came
out of this round cloud. I saw one who hid behind the shed, another
behind the solid cloud and the third, he, was picking up snow with some
kind of small black boiler as black as the costume of the one who held
it. I did not see any hands, the handle was hidden in the costume. The
owner of the boiler stood up, because he had bent down to collect the
snow and he rushed towards the chicken coop, forty feet or more from the
house. He was about to open the small door when I shouted loudly "ouch!"
He turned his face towards me and he ran towards me, frozen with fear. I
felt a great feeling of anxiety rising in me, not knowing what could
happen to me. So I took refuge in my net used to hold hockey pucks when
they are thrown in that place. I may have stayed a minute. Then, I got
up. The square man was heading towards the cloud not paying any
attention to my presence, contrary to what I had believed at first. With
his companion, he got into the cloud. What I found very strange is that
only two of them got in. The other, I do not know what became of
him.".(...)

Description: At 12.30 a.m. Alfonso Rey, age 62, was
watching television in his home in Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires province,
Argentina when the TV picture went out. When he got up to check the TV
he noticed a tall being seated in an armchair at the opposite end of the
room, wearing a blue-green metallic coverall uniform, with helmet,
boots, and a black belt with a box attached. The being stood up, and was
at least 6.5 feet tall. Sr. Rey asked the being what he wanted, but got
no reply. Rey touched the being's hand, which felt cold and abnormally
soft, "like foam rubber". He could not describe the facial features
except for the eyes, which "seemed to emit a silvery light." Sr. Rey
went into the kitchen, followed by the strange visitor, and he noticed
that his refrigerator was not running normally. Sr. Rey also noticed
that his visitor seemed to be walking on air. Next the being pressed
some buttons on his belt apparatus, which caused an amber light to come
on. Then he walked to the backdoor, and looking up at the sky pressed
other buttons on his belt. The being went outside into the yard, then
vanished into thin air. That afternoon, at 4:20 p.m. several patrons of
a bar reported witnessing a similar looking stranger in the bar at the
corner of Calle Alsina and Calle Pringles, in Tres Arroyos. Their
descriptions matched those provided by Sr. Rey. They said the stranger
walked into the bar's bathroom and did not emerge.

Description: In La Sarre, Abitibi, Quebec at 10:30 a.m.
a nine-year-old boy, Mario Mercier, was alone on an ice skating rink on
a sunny day when he observed a white, spherical cloud-like UFO land in a
snowy field 700 feet away. Three four-foot tall, square-shouldered
beings emerged, wearing black suits and black square-shaped helmets. One
of them carried a small black "kettle" that he proceeded to fill with
snow. He then walked to the Mercier family chicken house, and was about
to enter when the boy cried out. He then turned toward Mario, who
attempted to hide inside the rink's hockey net. The UFOnaut walked back,
and with one of the others, was seen to "climb" or levitate into the
"cloud." The UFO rose vertically swiftly. A 10 foot circle of blackened
grass was left behind, with rectangular tracks in snow. It was two years
before grass would grow again at the site.

Description: 11:15 p.m. A motor mechanic named Maxwell
is out testing his vehicle in Murray Bridge, South Australia, when the
engine dies and lights go out as he is coming over a rise in the road.
The lights come back on but vary in intensity several times. He decides
to stop the car. To his left he sees a “diamond shape with the top cut
off” noiselessly sitting on the ground 148 feet away in a paddock. His
car radio starts making a noise like a “computer on TV,” a constant
rhythm. He tries the ignition key but nothing happens, not even the oil
light comes on. He tries the wipers and the electric air horn but they
do not work either. He locks all the doors and winds up the windows and
just sits there for the next 45 minutes. After this time the object
leaves, and he finds he can restart the car. An inspection of the
vehicle the next day reveals no cause for the electrical problems.

Description: 7:04 p.m. Fritz Abbehusen is watching TV
in Dias d’Ávila, Bahia, Brazil, when his set experiences some
interference. He goes out on the porch and sees a huge, round luminous
object descending to a hill approximately 3 miles from his home. After a
while, he goes to get binoculars, and with these he can see that the
luminous shape is hovering a several feet above the ground. Its lower
part is glowing like a neon light, while the upper part has a row of
orange-red portholes. His wife Margarida and servant join him to look at
the display. Suddenly, three blinking lights emerge from the object. One
of these lights slowly moves in the direction of his house. After 15
minutes, the moving light has arrived within 165 feet in back of the
house. Three small beings emerge from it, wearing what appears to be a
one-piece suit of whitish or light-gray color. The beings keep their
elbows close to the body when walking, as if on tiptoe, raising their
knees exaggeratedly at each step. They go away, but the big object
remains on the hill until around midnight. At one time it emits a beam
that sets the brush on fire.

repeatedly. Its color also changed, from red to yellow and then to a
bluish white, each time the shape changed from circular to elongated
oval. After an hour of observation (so from 3 to 4 in the morning) the
object jumped up and disappeared, becoming smaller and smaller.

Location: ARGENTINA, Buenos Aires Province
Description: (Translated from French) At 10:30 PM, the
73-year-old witness was sitting 6 m away from the small shelter in which
he lived and was drinking his "maté". He had just finished his evening
meal. Near him were his 4-5 year old dog and a cat with kittens. He was
listening to his transistor when suddenly it stopped working. He then
heard a loud humming, louder than that of an angry swarm of bees. He saw
a light illuminating the whole region and distinguished a large floating
object almost above his head at 10 or 20 m in height (...) At first only
one figure was visible from the size of the head through a porthole, and
then he saw a second occupant, and then others. He only remembers their
slanted, fixed, deep eyes and a simple slit for a mouth. The object
moved in all directions. On the tight-fitting uniform of one of the
visitors he saw an emblem resembling a seahorse surmounted by a crown,
next to it there were symbols on the right side. He saw a large number
of instruments and dials. A blinding flash came out: this beam carried
away the cat which disappeared on the spot. The humming became louder
and the device became blue-green. In total the observation lasted only
20 seconds. The cat reappeared 48 days later, on February 16, 1973 and
its back showed signs of burns and scratches. Different physical effects
felt by the witness (having only two years of primary school): still
under the device he felt tingling in his legs. This sensation lasted 2
days and only disappeared on the 3rd day. Three or four hours after the
observation he had a terrible headache, which worsened, and for which
aspirin was ineffective. This lasted eight days before gradually
decreasing. At that moment the pains were also felt in the neck and
neck. Eight to nine hours after the observation he had violent colic, up
to 8 times a day. This diarrhea lasted eight days and it was then
possible to cut it with Streptocarbocaftiazol. The first four days the
colic were accompanied by nausea and vomiting. He lost his hair
abnormally with each comb. Fifteen days after the observation he had red
pustules in the neck that itched. After the observation the witness had
difficulty speaking and could hardly move his tongue: this lasted 10 to

Jack R. "The Mystery of UFOs" - J'ai Lu / Pygmalion 1976, pp. 103-109,
based on an article published by F.S.R.) Following a visit to Maceiras,
from 19 to 21 February 1973, Romaniuk noted: "Since around 10 February,
Maceiras has seen new teeth grow in his upper left gum. I can confirm
that on the day of my visit, two front teeth and two side teeth were
growing, and they already had two to three millimeters long"

Description: Ventura Maceiras, a 73-year-old gaucho,
was sitting near his shack in Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires, Argentina with
his dog and his cat when his transistor radio failed. He then heard a
loud humming noise, "like angry bees," and looked up to see an object 70
to 80 feet in diameter hovering overhead. It was some 10-12 meters over
a grove of eucalyptus trees, and it was emitting a powerful light. An
enormous "wheel" was spinning around this object, which at first was
reddish orange in color and then became purple. In its upper portion he
could see a spherical cabin with two windows, and in one window was
visible from the waist upwards a figure wearing dark gray clothing made
of inflated "rolls," joined together, similar to our astronaut's space
suits. On this being's head was a helmet with a transparent visor and a
tube that ran to a box on his back.
With a shower of sparks,
the UFO tilted toward Sr. Maceiras, and he could now see a second
occupant with identical features and clothing. Their eyes were slanted
and their mouths were mere slits, and their faces were very flat. Behind
them he could see a small flag or insignia showing a crowned seahorse
followed by symbols resembling "S C Y" against a blue background. There
was also a long instrument panel bearing "a lot of instruments and
clocks."
A powerful flash of light came from the underpart and
completely enveloped the cat while temporarily blinding the witness. The
humming grew louder, and the UFO changed color again to a blue-green,
then moved away, sinking to a height of only 12-20 feet above the
ground. It moved off toward the main road, leaving a strong odor like
"sulphur or arnica." Maceiras was not frightened---in fact he called out
to the occupants of the object to come down and share his mate. After
the encounter, his cat disappeared, to return only after 48 hours, her
back still showing burn marks. She now shunned the site of her
misfortune. The tops of the eucalyptus trees at the site were scorched.
Maceiras himself experienced severe physiological aftereffects:
diarrhea, nausea, hair loss, and severe headaches, all lasting about two
weeks. He also had some trouble speaking, and his eyes watered for a few
days. Six weeks after the event he was feeling better and in fact felt
rejuvenated, and he began cutting a new set of teeth in his upper gums.
These effects were to continue.

living in Uden, woke up one night, around 2:30, and got up to go to the
bathroom. Through the small window of this place, she saw something
white outside, but didn't pay it much attention. When leaving the small
place, she saw through another window, three creatures about 1.2 meters
tall, moving towards her house. They all wore a kind of monk's robe and
had a kind of pointed headgear. They moved in single file. The one who
closed the small row, a bit taller than the other two, suddenly looked
in Mrs. Vermeulen's direction. Simultaneously the three little creatures
turned around and disappeared from view. Mrs. Vermeulen was about to
wake her husband, and in the bedroom, she saw through the other window,
a large red ball suspended in the air about ten meters from the house.
The diameter of this ball was around 5 meters. At the moment her husband
woke up, everything disappeared, as if by magic.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 1
o'clock, Mr. Pouget (Pourain?) and Miss Donez were driving down Rue du
Dauphin towards Blanc Misseron and the Belgian border. Near the stadium,
a grey-white light was moving slowly. At first they didn't think much of
it. But when the light suddenly and intermittently projected intense
beams of light, moved east, zigzagged, rose and fell, moved in a
saw-tooth pattern, curved, arrived at Rue du Dauphin and directed its
beam towards the witnesses, and then suddenly went out, the witnesses
were scared. After regaining their composure, five minutes passed and
the phenomenon appeared again. It no longer projected a beam: it was a
square with rounded corners, with a dark curved vertical line, and a
large halo around it, giving it the size of a house. A veranda was lit
up by the phenomenon and the witnesses could see all the details. (vog:
I suppose here we are talking about the details of the veranda and not
those of the phenomenon). (1973, 10 January)

Description: While driving from Iron Knob to Kimba,
South Australia on Route One, Brian Hunt and his passenger, Miss Sharon
Kinckler, observed a red light at 9:50 p.m. approximately 32 kilometers
northeast of Kimba. It was in a clearing to the right of the road. As
they passed it, the two observed a red orange lighted area of
rectangular shape, about 10 feet high by 5 feet wide, in which they saw
a sharply defined man in a white spacesuit. The figure was of normal
height and appeared to be of ordinary shape, but was suspended some 2-3
inches above the ground. He floated into the middle of the lighted area
some 2-3 feet above the base. Brian called this to his companion's
attention as he accelerated past the scene, and Sharon was able to see
the orange glow spread across the entire highway behind them. When they
arrived at Miss Kinckler's home in Kimba, they called the local police
and a constable accompanied them back to the site. The light was gone
and no traces were found. Two other independent witnesses were
subsequently located by investigators. Mr. Allen Degnor, a Ceduna truck
driver who passed by the same area at 10.00 p.m. described essentially
the same phenomenon. Mr. Max Inglis, who had passed Brian and Sharon
just before reaching the site of the strange phenomenon.

Locations: Inverness (Florida) Golf and Country Club;
Homestead AFB [now Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami-Dade County;
Homestead AFB; RAF Bentwaters [now closed] near Woodbridge, Suffolk;
Biscayne Bay
Description: President Richard
Nixon meets on the 18th green of the Inverness (Florida) Golf and
Country Club with entertainer Jackie
Gleason. Gleason has
long been a fan of UFOs. He later becomes a subscriber to the newsletter
Just Cause (Citizens Against UFO Secrecy). Gleason has a collection of
1,700 books on parapsychology, UFOs, and the unknown. Gleason’s second
wife, Beverly
McKittrick, says
that Nixon took Gleason to a heavily secured area at Homestead AFB [now
Homestead Air Reserve Base] in Miami-Dade County where he views the
remains of small aliens in a top secret repository. McKittrick relates
this story in an unpublished manuscript of Gleason called “The Great
One.” Larry
Bryant, editor
of Just Cause, the newsletter Gleason had a subscription to, files a
Freedom of Information Act request with Homestead AFB. Bryant requests
documentation on the repository and Gleason’s visit there to see the
alien bodies. Homestead replies that “no such records existed.” Bryant
also sends an advertisement to the Homestead AFB newspaper soliciting
information. The public affairs officer at Homestead denounces the
Bryant advertisement and “forbade its publication.” At the same time
Bryant writes Gleason providing him with a draft affidavit. He asks
Gleason to execute the affidavit so it can be used as part of a growing
accumulation of evidence Bryant is collecting in preparation for taking
the government to court to release all information on alien crash
retrievals. Gleason does not reply. Shortly before his death in 1987,
one story says Gleason confirms the story about seeing the bodies at
Homestead. The person who Jackie Gleason tells the story to is Larry Warren, who is a
member of the Air Force Security Police at RAF Bentwaters [now closed]
near Woodbridge, Suffolk, one of two bases in England where in late
December 1980, three days of bizarre UFO incidents take place. Warren
says that Gleason and Nixon enter a room with 6–8 glass-topped freezers.
Inside “were the mangled remains of what I took to be children.” On
closer inspection, he sees that some of the figures look old and
injured. Gleason cannot sleep or eat for three weeks after the visit.
The director of the Secret Service under President Clinton, Lewis C.
Merletti, claims
that the idea of a president escaping his secret service agents only
happens in the movies. In response to a question by reporter Joan London
about the possibility of the president escaping his protection to go out
and secretly do something, Merletti claims, “all Hollywood. There’s no
sneaking out. It has never happened.” Marty
Venker, a Secret Service agent who worked with Merletti under
Presidents Ford and Carter, however, tells
a different story. In his book Confessions of an Ex-Secret Service Agent
he explains that not only can the president disappear, but it has
happened. Venker states that in the exact year of the Homestead incident
with Gleason, 1973, Nixon tries to cut his secret service protection.
Venker also states that it was not uncommon for Nixon to try to elude
his Secret Service detail. The agents working on the Nixon presidential
detail were warned about it. Nixon is familiar with Homestead AFB, which
is only minutes from his Biscayne Bay compound. There is no proof that
Nixon escorted Jackie Gleason to view alien bodies at Homestead, but
everything checked out indicates it could very well have happened. It
would have been very easy in terms of distance for the Gleason/Nixon
alien event to have occurred.

Description: Night. Clearwater High School basketball
coach Reggie Bone and five players on his team are driving back to
Clearwater after a game. On US Highway 60 near Ellsinore, Missouri, Bone
notices a “bright shaft of light beaming down out of the sky.” A few
miles later, near Brushy Creek, student Randal Holmes notices another
light, and Bone pulls over for a closer look. They see lights about 600
feet away from the road hovering over an open field at about 400 feet
altitude. The lights seem to be portholes, each a different color: red,
green, amber, and white. According to student Cary Barks, they watch it
for 10 minutes before the lights rise up noiselessly and disappear over
a hill. Around 10:00 p.m., Edith Boatwright of nearby Mill Spring sees a
similar object flying low near her farmhouse.

Description: On the night prior to this experience, Mrs
Maureen Puddy "heard a voice" calling her name. The next morning she
perceived a message telling her to return to the site of her 1972
vechicle UFO close encounter. She contacted two investigators of the
Victorian UFO Research group and drove with them to the site at Mooraduc
Crossing, Victoria, Australia. On route she briefly saw a man sitting in
the front seat of the car whom her passengers did not see. As she
approached the spot of her earlier encounter, she saw the same figure
standing outside the car, but the others again saw nothing. She reported
that the figure was normal sized, wearing a white ski suit style
coverall tucked in at the wrists and covering the feet. He had long
blond hair. He beckoned to Mrs Puddy, but she did not respond; instead,
she appeared to lose consciousness.
She experienced some kind
of altered state of consciousness, in which she was able to describe to
the two passengers in the car what she was seeing at the moment. She
felt she was in a round room lit by an unknown source. The figure
appeared in the room with her, and the room was shaped like a large
mushroom with a stem at the bottom and a hemispherical dome on top. It
appeared to have an inner hemisphere that appeared to be wobbling, and
had what looked like hieroglyphics on it. She saw no doors or windows in
the room, and became frightened; she started to cry and "woke up" with
tears in her eyes, but she could recall nothing of what had just
happened in her trance-like state. About a week later she was driving
with her son, and was seated in the front passenger seat. The same "man"
again appeared, sitting between them, but her son did not see him. His
presence was accompanied by an abrupt change in the weather, which had
been rainy. It suddenly cleared, and Mrs Puddy could see for miles. When
the figure vanished abruptly the rainy conditions again prevailed.

Description: Helene, age 14, was riding the family
snowmobile near McWaters, Quebec with her two brothers and seven other
teenaged friends, all on snowmobiles, when at around 9 p.m. a giant
"headlight" rose from behind them and flew over, illuminating the entire
landscape. After it had gone, all the boys went off on a race, leaving
Helene behind. The brilliant light source then reappeared and flew back
over her. She estimated it was 60 feet in diameter. Suddenly its light
went out, and Helene thought it must have been a plane that had crashed
somewhere behind her. She turned her snowmobile around and drove back
about 150 meters, then got off and walked toward a very large dark bulk
that she could make out among some trees. When she was about 50 feet
from it a small, cold hand came from over her shoulder and seized her by
the chin, attempting to drag her backwards. Thinking it must be her
younger brother playing a joke, she broke free and pushed her attacker
back so that he fell down into the snow. Turning to face him, she saw a
childlike figure smaller than her 13-year-old brother sitting in the
snow. She ran back to her snowmobile and grabbed a flashlight, and
turned it on the person who was now walking slowly toward her. She saw
it was a being less than four feet tall, clad in a dark, close fitting
uniform with a "plated" surface, and wearing a helmet covering the head
down to the chin. A visor on the helmet reflected the light from the
flashlight, and the being's enormous eyes shone brightly in the light,
like those of a cat. Terrified, Helene dropped the flashlight, ran to
the snowmobile, and fled on it. She was joined by the other
snowmobilers, who were returning for her. Her left arm was paralyzed, so
she was taken to a doctor at Rouyn, who gave her a sedative. The next
day several people went out to the landing site, where they found a
large patch of snow melted down to the ground. It was 50 feet in
diameter and shaped like a donut. Next to it were the footprints of two
small bipeds, a few yards away from each other. The tracks were short
and wide with a large protruding great toe.

Description: Jorge Roberto Herrera, an engineering
student, saw a daylight UFO shaped like two plates put together rim to
rim about 20 kilometers north of Salta, Argentina. It descended in a
falling-leaf fashion until it was within a yard of the ground, then it
settled in a tilted position beside the highway he was on. It was
aluminum colored while it was landing, but turned color to a dull copper
after in landed. It was about 3-4 meters (16 feet) wide. After three
minutes some legs thrust out, which leveled the UFO. Then Herrera saw
beside it a being 5 feet two inches tall, dressed in a white "diving
suit" with an opaque helmet. The beings arms were cut off short without
any hands. The feet were covered by the suit, with no other footwear. He
did not see the entity emerge from the craft. It glided a few feet
without walking, then vanished. A few seconds later the UFO retracted
its legs, returned to an inclined position, and took off. Herrera was
about 50 feet away from it at the time. He took what he thought was one
step and found he was already standing at the landing marks, having
moved 50 feet without any conscious memory. There were seven imprints at
the site, nonsymmetrically arranged, covering an area of only about five
feet square. A small truck came up and its driver said that he had seen
the UFO and it had caused his engine and his radio to fail. This man
drove Herrera, who now felt ill, to Salta. He entered a medical clinic
there, where he underwent treatment for eight days without ever being
told the diagnosis.

Description: 7:15 p.m. Lucie Vandervoort is looking out
a window of her house in Tarcienne, Belgium, when she sees a bright
light approaching. It passes over the roof of a nearby house, then
banks, makes a 90° turn, and begins to blink as it disappears to the
east. Similar objects appear every 10 minutes, continuing until 9:15
p.m. The objects’ slow speed allows her to take photos. At one point she
looks through her late husband’s World War I trench periscope and sees a
humanoid figure dressed in shiny, tight-fitting clothes and standing in
the front of one of the objects. Only one photo turns out and shows a
squarish light against a dark sky. Analysis suggests that the objects
were probably aircraft taking off from the military base at Florennes a
few miles away, the humanoid figure was imaginary, and the photo was a
blurry streetlight.

Description: Mrs. Vandervoort, who was living outside
the village of Tarcienne, Belgium, went outdoors at 7:15 p.m. to close
her shutters. She saw a white light pass over the roof of the nearest
house some 100 meters away. The UFO approached silently from the
direction of the nearby woods and moved toward the east. In the next
hour, at intervals of some minutes apart, she saw a total of 25 similar
lights or objects fly over at only 10 to 15 meters above the trees,
moving very fast. With the aid of a telescope she observed in the front
of one of these objects a "man" standing. He was handling a "board" and
was just a "tiny" figure but "of great height." He held one arm straight
up. The witness reportedly took photos of some of the lights. "It was
impressive," she was quoted as saying, insisting they were not normal
aircraft. She said she was familiar with aircraft because there is a
Belgian Air Force Base northeast of her locale.

Description: On this night Brian Scott returned to the
site of his 1971 alien abduction in Apache Junction, Arizona. He again
experienced being taken aboard a UFO by the same nine-foot-tall entities
as on the earlier occasion. This time he also encountered a short, squat
being known as "The Host." However, he believes the experience was
projected into his mind, rather than a real, solid event. The voices of
the entities "didn't seem to come from their mouths." He said that on
this occasion he also found the pair of boots that he'd lost on his
earlier encounter.

Description: 7:30 a.m. Arthur de Weerdt is watching a
distant airliner in Borgerhout, Belgium, when he notices another sunlit
object pacing the aircraft at a higher altitude. Suddenly the object
stops and remains motionless for about one minute, then moves at a
greater speed, making an angle of 70° before coming to another wobbling
halt for about 8 minutes. De Weerdt manages to take a color photograph
of the object, which shows a whitish spot. Ballester Olmos and van
Utrecht suspect the witness saw a weather balloon and that the photo is
the result of a development flaw.

Description: Therines, Oise, France - At midnight M.
Brechant, his 11-year-old son Patrice, and his brother-in-law Mr. Cosme,
were in a car on a dark night on a UFO hunting expedition. In a field
near Songeons, France and some 250-300 meters away from the road, they
saw a luminous ball whose light diminished in intensity. For a few
seconds 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared beside it. They tried to
drive around the light and observe it from behind. A second luminous
ball, likewise in the field, was about 200 meters away. A triangular
beam of light emerged from its base, pointing toward the left. Through
binoculars Mr. Cosme could see two luminous silhouettes of humanoid
beings, one behind the beam and one "sliding on it" towards the point,
where it disappeared. They seemed to have elongated heads and enormously
broad shoulders. He could not distinguish arms and legs but the one
behind the beam seemed to carry a sack on its left side. This silhouette
gradually "evaporated." The beam then went out, and then the ball
disappeared. On their way home their car was pursued by a ball of
yellowish-white light that turned yellowish-green at treetop level. The
first saw it 300 meters away and it later approached to within 50
meters.

in a car on a dark night on a UFO hunting expedition in Therines, Oise,
France. They spotted a luminous ball in a field near Songeons only
250-300 meters away. The light diminished in intensity, and for a few
seconds 4-6 white luminous rectangles appeared next to it. Then next
tried to drive around the field and observe the light from the rear. A
second luminous ball was then seen in another field about 200 yards
away. From its base emerged a triangular beam of light, with its base on
the sphere and its apex pointing toward the left. Through a pair of
binoculars Mr. Cosme could see two luminous silhouettes of humanoid
beings, one behind the beam and one "sliding on it" towards the point,
where it disappeared. They seemed to have elongated heads and enormously
broad shoulders. He could not distinguish arms and legs, but the one
behind the beam seemed to be carrying a sack on its left side. This
silhouette gradually "evaporated," then the triangular beam went out,
and next the luminous ball turned off. On their way home their car was
pursued by a ball of yellow-white light, then yellowish green light at
treetop level, which was first seen 300 meters away and later approached
to within 50 meters.

Description: (Translated from French) It was 5:00 in
the morning, Mr. A. was on his way to work (Puch factories in
Graz-Thondorf). When he arrived at the Puntigam bridge, he noticed that
the road and the air were lit up by a blue glow. He then saw an object
gliding through the sky, just above the high-voltage line. The object
was approaching at a constant speed, like a glider ready to land, its
front pointed towards the ground. The object had the size of a
medium-sized car, colored blue, ending in 4 or 5 fan-shaped points on a
kind of parallelepiped (box) with rounded corners, and at the front
there was something like a ledge. The witness on the bike pedaled
faster, feeling a strange feeling of insecurity, so much was he taken
aback by this apparition. When he arrived at a corner of the road, he
looked around and saw the flying object close to the ground parallel to
the road. That's when he saw 8 or 10 fixed red points, like small domes
emitting a very bright red glow that contrasted with the blue of the
rest of the object. Suddenly, without any noise, it went out, leaving
the area in complete darkness.

Description: Armando Silva and his wife, of La Salina,
were at their country home at the seashore near Caracaya, Venezuela. On
the evening of March 28th they had seen two elongated bluish objects
high overhead. At about one o'clock at night they awoke to stifling heat
inside their house. Mr. Silva went to the balcony and saw the two blue,
capsule shaped objects they had seen earlier now flying near the shore.
One of them dropped into the sea and re-emerged on the surface. It was
then joined by the second, which bobbed on the surface nearby. Silva
went down to the beach to get a better view.
At one of the
small windows of the first little object that came down from the sky he
saw a tiny figure like a five-year-old child. The craft was floating
only a few meters from shore. "I was terrified when...I saw a tiny
figure...wearing on its head what looked like a great gourd. I cannot
say for sure that it was an intelligent being, since I only saw half of
its body and its head, which, as I say, looked like a gourd. Nor did I
see any arms. And I didn't wait to see if it made any movements." Sr.
Silva turned on his heels and ran back into the house, where his wife
was watching from the balcony. The two UFOs that had come down from the
sky were still bobbing up and down in the water when he rejoined her.
The incident lasted about 15 minutes.

Description: Scottish author Duncan
Lunan claims he has identified and deciphered a hidden radio message
sent as long delayed echoes by an alien space probe that had been
detected in 1927. Published along with an accompanying editorial
disclaimer, Lunan maintains that the putative message comes from an
object at the L5 point in the same orbit as the Moon, sent by the
inhabitants of a planet orbiting Epsilon Boötis. He says the message
reads, “Start here. Our home is Epsilon Boötis, which is a double star.
We live on the sixth planet of seven, coming from the sun, which is the
larger of the two. Our sixth planet has one moon. Our fourth planet has
three. Our first and third planets each have one. Our probe is in the
position of Arcturus, known in our maps.”

Locations: Southeast Missouri State University;

Description: Southeast Missouri State University
physics professor Harley
Rutledge hears of numerous reports of unidentified lights in the sky
around Piedmont, Missouri, and decides to subject these reports to
scientific analysis. He puts together a team of 620 observers with
college training in the physical sciences, including a large array of
equipment at 158 different viewing stations: binoculars, RF spectrum
analyzers, Questar telescopes, low-high frequency audio detectors, an
electromagnetic frequency analyzer, cameras, sound recorders, Geiger
counters, and a galvanometer to measure variations in the Earth’s
gravitational field. The resulting Project Identification commences in
April, logging several hundred hours of observation time and 157
documented sightings over the next 7 years. This is the first UFO
scientific field study, able to monitor the phenomena in real-time,
enabling Rutledge to calculate the objects’ actual velocity, course,
position, distance, and size. Observation of the unclouded night sky
often reveals “pseudostars”—stationary lights camouflaged by familiar
constellations. Some objects appear to mimic the appearance of known
aircraft; others violate the laws of physics. The most startling
discovery is that on at least 32 recorded occasions, the movement of the
lights synchronize with actions of the observers. They appear to respond
to a light being switched on and off, and to verbal or radio messages.
Rutledge publishes a final report, Project Identification, on his field
research in 1981.

Description: Exact date unknown, likely April or May.
One night, a woman searched on foot for her dog in a rural area near
Berryville. She saw what appeared to be a silver helicopter sitting on
an adjacent golf course. Approaching a clearing, she saw humans in white
coats or uniforms, plus 2 non-humans she had encountered weeks before -
all gathered over a horse which seemed to be in pain. She was spotted,
ran through the woods, back by the golf course (the helicopter was
gone). She was "zapped" with something, burning her, making her ill.
This is the "Ordeal In Arkansas" case from STIGMATA #4(1978). At that
time, it was not known that the event actually occurred in 1973.

observed from a Cessna 150 by physicist Harvy Rutledge and one other
witness at 2500 feet flying southeast of Piedmont, Missouri. The orange
ball of light appeared on the slope of Clark's Mountain, and disappeared
when the aircraft turned toward it. A simultaneously identical light
appeared to their right. When the aircraft banked again, the object
turned and then shot straight up. The acceleration was estimated at 330
G's. Also, a glowing ball or disc-shaped object was chased by two
experienced pilots in a Piper Cherokee over Farmington, Missouri, the
same night and at the same time as the Piedmont incident. The object
gave off heat waves, and made no noise. it outdistanced the plane with a
tremendous burst of speed.

Description: During the late afternoon on the road
between Manor and Penn, Pennsylvania twelve witnesses saw a disc-shaped
object, between 35-60 feet in diameter, that came within 70 meters of a
car, causing the car's headlights to dim. During the night of April
15-16 more than a dozen witnesses reported observations of UFOs in the
area of Penn and Manor, Pennsylvania, near the larger town of Jeanette.
Among these was the report of a single witness who was driving near the
Manor, Pennsylvania Power plant at 10:55 p.m. when he observed a large
glowing object over the nearby railroad tracks. It was just above the
trees, and the light from the object illuminated the immediate area with
an intense white color. The witness pulled over to the side of the road
and got out for a better look. The object, no more than a hundred yards
away, was about 400 yards west of the power plant and approximately 10
feet above the trees. The object itself was completely illuminated but
apparently solid in construction and about three car lengths in size. It
had a dome like structure on top, which was the same bright color as the
rest of the object. Around the main section were 2 or 3 rows of
multi-colored lights, or square windows. One was whitish, the next red,
and the third a blue or green hue. From the left side of the UFO a line
or cord extended some 30 yards, and at the end of the cord floated a
human form some eight to ten feet tall, similar to the "Apollo
astronauts walking in space". It was of a purple or orange color. The
witness did not see the humanoid form retracted into the UFO; rather it
disappeared like "a string of lights." The witness had left his lights
on and engine running when he got out of his vehicle, and he noticed
that the headlights had dimmed to the strength of a weak flashlight.
When the object departed, the headlights came back on as bright as
before. The object made a high-pitched sound "like a spinning top" when
it departed. "You could hear the trees blowing" as it went over them.
The encounter lasted three to four minutes.

Description: (Translated from French) Late at night,
Henry McDaniel was watching one last movie on television. A noise
reaches him, someone is scratching at the door. He wonders who it could
be at this late hour. He gets up and goes to open the door. There, an
indescribable being is looking at him. It measures between 1.20m and
1.50m. It has three legs, a hunched body, two small arms coming out of
its chest and its two pink eyes the size of a flashlight reflector are
fixed on McDaniel. The dark grayish creature tries to enter the house.
Horrified, McDaniel does not give it the chance. He rushes to his gun
and without warning, he opens fire. With the first shot he has the
sensation of having hit it, but he notices that the monster does not
seem to be any worse off. With a wild cat hissing, it jumps in three
bounds and covers a distance of at least 25 meters. It then disappears
behind the steep slope of the railway line in the bushes. (...) The
police will discover paw prints, similar to those of a dog but with six
toes. (April 25, 1973)

Locations: Norton Air Force Base; San Bernardino,
California, International Airport; Holloman AFB, New Mexico;
Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio
Description: A series of meetings takes place between
USAF representatives (Col. William T.
Coleman and Col. George Weinbrenner)
and two well-connected Hollywood figures: documentarist Robert
Emenegger and producer Allan Sandler. The colonels encourage
the pair to make a documentary on the UFO phenomenon and the question of
extraterrestrial life. Not only will they have the military’s full
cooperation, they will also have access to their files, including those
of the Department of Defense. Upon arriving at Norton Air Force Base
[now San Bernardino, California, International Airport] the two men are
immediately taken to a “clean room used by the CIA,” designed so that
“there was no way anyone could eavesdrop” on events taking place inside.
Here the proposal takes place, including the promise of using 3,200 feet
of a 1971 UFO landing footage at Holloman AFB, New Mexico, that shows
several of the “alien visitors” and their meeting with the
representatives from the US government. Paul Shartle, chief of
requirements for the Norton AFB audiovisual program, promises to get the
Holloman footage. Emenegger is told that the military is monitoring
signals from an alien group that their extraterrestrial visitors know
nothing about. At the last minute, permission to use the film is
withdrawn, though Emenegger and Sandler are encouraged to describe the
Holloman landing as something that might happen in the future or could
have happened. Emenegger goes to Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio to talk to
Weinbrenner, who while haranguing about the need to find out about
Soviet Mig-25s, hands Emenegger a signed copy of Hynek’s The
UFO Experience.

Description: USAF Col. William T. Coleman and Col.
George Weinbrenner allegedly meet with Hollywood documentary filmmaker
Robert Emenegger and producer Allan Sandler and encourage them to make a
documentary on UAP and its extraterrestrial origin. They are told
they’ll have the government’s full cooperation and exclusive access to
classified footage of a UAP landing in 1971 at Holloman AFB, NM. Coleman
and Weinbrenner claim the film shows “alien visitors” and their meeting
with members of the U.S. government. Emenegger is told there are
multiple extraterrestrial groups and the military is monitoring at least
one other group the Holloman entities don’t know about. After
pre-production, permission to use the landing film is withdrawn.
Note: This story is alleged but if true, highlights the Air Force’s attempts to shape public opinion through mass media and possibly “disclose” UAP on the USAF’s terms in 1973. It is curiously similar to meetings with USG officials, Lockheed Martin personnel and Clinton campaign personnel in 2016. Those meetings led to the formation of To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science with former USG employees and contractors from the intelligence community in 2017 whose release of three UAP videos shaped mass media.

Karlsson and her son Robert saw an object illuminated by a red light
hovering over their neighbor's house in Mantorp, Ostergotland, Sweden.
It looked like two saucer plates, separated by a row of broad windows,
and it made a loud hissing sound. Robert thought he could see two men
inside. As it got closer, its light became yellow-white.

Description: At 9:20 p.m. a man driving west on Route
76, near Kent, Ohio observed a group of flashing lights overhead almost
directly above his car. They moved with him until he stopped out of
curiosity, and so did the lights. Looking up through the windshield he
could see a football shaped object that flashed from red to blue to
white in a repeating cycle. He then saw a human figure materialize 10
feet below the object. The figure was clad all in silver, and descended
rapidly to the roadway directly in front of the car. When it reached the
pavement the figure stood looking to the right, then to look directly at
the witness. After a half a minute the figure ascended rapidly, "like a
helium balloon," towards the object. It vanished before reaching
it.
The figure was entirely silver in color and seemed to lack
hair and ears. A narrow mouth with a small pointed chin were also
observed. He was uncertain whether the silvery body was a close fitting
garment or the actual skin color, because he saw what appeared to be the
faint outline of a vein running down the inside of one of the arms. The
feet were clad with boots or shoes, with a heavy, distinct line between
the sole and the boot itself. The height of the figure was not much more
than 2.5 feet. When it descended it was approximately ten feet in front
of the car. The UFO shot up in a rapid vertical ascent, rocking the car
"as if a semi was passing."

Description: At around 4:00 p.m. Fay, a 7-year-old
girl, was with a boy about her own age on the golf course in Sandown,
Isle of Wight, England when they heard a wailing siren at around 4 p.m.
They followed it through a hedge into a swampy meadow, where the noise
ceased. As they were crossing a brook by a footbridge a strange figure
came out from under the bridge. This person fumbled with a book, dropped
it in the water, retrieved it, and then went with "a strange hopping
motion, with knees raised high" to a metallic "hut" with no
windows.
The being was nearly 7-foot tall and neckless. He
wore a yellow, pointed, hood with a black knob on top with "wooden"
antennae or horns on the sides, and a green tunic with a red collar.
"His face had triangular markings for eyes, a brown square of a nose and
motionless yellow lips." Other round markings were on his paper-white
cheeks, and a fringe of red hair fell onto his forehead. "Wooden slats"
protruded from his sleeves and from below his white trousers. There were
only three fingers on each blue-gloved hand and 3 toes on his bare,
white feet. The being took from the hut a black knobbed microphone, into
which he spoke to the children, now 50 meters away, saying "Hello, are
you still there?"
Since his tone sounded friendly, they
approached him. He then wrote in a "notebook", in a large hand, "Hello
and I am all colors, Sam." Talking without the aid of a microphone, his
lips did not move, and his speech was unclear. They asked about his
clothes, which were all ripped, and "asked if he was really a man."
"No", he replied, with a chuckle. When they asked if he was a ghost, he
answered "Well, not really, but I am in an odd sort of way." "What are
you then?" they asked, but he replied, "You know." He also said that he
had no name, and "confided that he was frightened of people."
At his invitation, the children crawled through a flap into his hut,
which he told them he had "just made." It contained two levels. The
lower, which "had plenty of headroom", was "wall papered" in blue green
and covered with a pattern of dials; there was an electric heater and
simple wooden furniture. The upper level, less spacious, had a metal
floor. He told the children that he fed on berries, and drank the river
water after cleaning it. He said he had a camp on the mainland. Inside
the hut he removed his hat to reveal round, white ears and sparse brown
hair. Before eating a berry, he performed an "odd trick" with it; he
placed the berry in his ear, where it disappeared and reappeared at one
of his triangular eyes."repeating the process, the berry traveled to his
mouth." The children talked to this being for at least half an hour,
then rushed across the golf links to tell the firs man they had seen a
ghost.

Description: In the mid-afternoon an anonymous man "who
enjoys an excellent reputation in Bahia" was walking through his
property by the river in Parafuso, Bahia, Brazil carrying his shotgun,
when he heard a soft humming. Then a man about 5 feet 3 inches tall
appeared in front of him. He wore a brownish gray, tight-fitting
coverall, with metallic colored boots and a wide belt with a very large
blue buckle. His face and his hands, which had long fingers, were pallid
white, his ears were small and pointed, and his head "larger than ours."
This man, speaking in Portuguese, told the witness not to be afraid and
to put away his gun, saying that he was "not of this world-I come from a
planet that you people call a satellite." He also said that his ship was
hovering a few yards above them, invisible to the eye. Then he said,
"Good bye, brother, I must go" and pushed a white button on his belt
buckle. At this a beam of light shone on him "and then drew away,
carrying the man with it", he disappeared a few yards above the man's
head.

Location: BRAZIL, Catanduva (Sao Paolo)
Description: (Translated from French) At 3 o'clock in
the morning, Onilson Patero, a 40-year-old employee, had dropped off a
passenger in Itajobi and was continuing the journey home to Catanduva.
The car radio had strong interference, the engine was stuttering at the
same time as an intense blue light began to sweep through the interior
of the car. As the vehicle jolted, a blinding but lower light source
startled him as he saw his engine in great detail: the hood and
dashboard seemed to no longer exist, as if he was looking at it with
X-ray eyes. He then stopped the vehicle. Inside, the heat was so intense
he was suffocating and he opened the door. Then he saw the object
hovering 10 meters above the ground, 15 meters away from him, emitting a
turbine buzzing sound. It resembled two hats stuck together, without any
structure, and from a single source it emitted this intense light. Then
a kind of tube descended from the lower part and a semi-transparent veil
covered the craft: the witness no longer felt the heat or lack of air.
(...) He lost consciousness. Around 5 o'clock in the morning a policeman
found him unconscious in a stream near the road, 30 meters away from his
car parked on the side, doors open and headlights on. The man was taken
to the hospital. Inside the car, the briefcase had been opened and the
documents it contained were scattered. Physiological effects: brown hair
had become completely black, yellow pigmented spots on the body.
(Inforespace n° 11 - p. 36, 37 - 1973 - SOBEPS) Finally he was seized by
such panic that he left his vehicle and ran, head down, into the nearby
forest. After running about thirty meters, he felt a mysterious force
pulling him back like a spring. Desperate, he tried to free himself from
the lasso he thought was holding him prisoner, but his hand did not
encounter any tangible link. When he looked towards his car he noticed
other unusual transformations. This time the witness was so terrified
that he lost consciousness.

Description: (Translated from French) Mike Shea is
driving his car when suddenly, a beam of light illuminates a barn
located about 50 m from the road. Silent and surrounded by flashing
lights, a large UFO appears. Anxiety begins for Mike Shea once the beam
turns off as he believes he can feel something approaching behind him.
As the UFO flies over him, he feels an electric shock along his spine.
He eventually reaches Olney, his destination, but discovers with
astonishment that he took 2 hours more than expected. After a decade of
nightmares and diffuse malaise, Mike Shea decides to call Budd
Hopkins, the famous specialist in abduction cases. Hypnotic
regression sessions allow him to remember the abduction he suffered
after being flown over by the UFO. He suddenly saw on the side of the
road 4 strange entities: 3 of large size (about 1.80 m) and one smaller.
They looked like large elongated insects, as if wrapped in a dark
plastic armor, and stood upright on their rather arched hind legs. Their
two pairs of front legs were used to grasp. Their head was rounded and
their eyes globular. He was taken inside the UFO where he underwent
various more or less traumatic examinations. (On a Friday, 7 PM)

Description: 3:00 a.m. Onilson Pátero, an organizer of
public libraries for the State of São Paulo, Brazil, is just outside
Catanduva, after giving a ride to a stranger. First his car radio gets
static and the engine begins to fail. Suddenly he notices a blue circle
of light about 8 inches in diameter moving around inside his car. It
passes in front of the dashboard and he sees it is transparent. Then a
beam of blue light shines on him from the top of the hill he is driving
up. He pulls over to avoid a collision, but the light keeps coming
toward him. Overcome by a sensation of heat and stuffiness, he steps out
of the car and hears a buzzing noise. The UFO is a gray structure about
25 feet thick and 36 feet wide, resembling two soup plates attached rim
to rim. A tube stretches out from its base toward the ground. Pátero
panics and runs about 100 feet when something holds him back. Turning,
he sees that a rod of blue light from the UFO is moving above his car.
The light seems to make the car transparent, allowing him to see the
contents of the trunk, the wheel gears, the engine, and the interior of
the body. Pátero faints. An hour later, two young men drive by and see
him lying on the ground in gushing rainwater. They speed on into
Catanduva and return with a policeman, Clóvis Queiros. Turning Pátero
over, he regains consciousness and they take him to the hospital, where
he is soon released. However, the next day he feels an itchiness on his
back and stomach. Irritated patches of his skin turn purplish blue.
Later, these spots turn yellow and eventually disappear. Subsequent
medical examinations show no cause for the discoloration, and Pátero
seems in good mental health. He experiences another encounter on April
26, which some investigators think might be a fantasy.

Description: Sr. Onilson Patero, a 40-year-old
salesman, was driving home to Catanduva in Sao Paolo, Brazil during a
rainstorm. He had given a lift to a young hitchhiker and had dropped him
off at Itajobi. At around 3:00 a.m., about seven miles from Catanduva on
Highway 321, his car began to lose power and his car's radio filled with
static interference. He noticed a circle of light moving about inside
his car and he pulled over to the side of the road, thinking a truck was
about to pass. He then saw a hovering object about 50 feet ahead and 40
feet above the road, and at the same time the interior of his car began
to heat up. Patero felt a lack of air so he opened the door and stepped
out. A "curtain of light" began to form around the object, and the heat
and lack of air diminished. He could now see that the object was not a
helicopter. He next saw a "tube of light" hit the car and, as it did,
the car became transparent. He fainted. About an hour later two young
men found Sr. Patero laying in the mud and rain. He recovered
consciousness, crying out "they were trying to get me!" He was taken to
a hospital in Catanduva and later released. Over the next several days
he suffered physical ailments of an unknown cause. Eleven months later
Patero became the principal experiencer in an abduction event in which
he vanished for five days, turning up again in Colatina 700 km away.
Under regressive hypnosis he described one of his abductors as the same
individual he had given a ride to in this case.

Description: At eight a.m. Manuel Angle Gonzalez was
driving a six-ton truck loaded with asbestos sheeting, cement, and
steel, and he was in the vicinity of the town of Cintalapa in the State
of Veracruz, Mexico when he noticed five little figures standing in the
road ahead of him. They had their arms raised in the air, and they
seemed to have appeared from nowhere. He slammed on the truck's brakes
and came to a stop only a short distance away from them. At first he
thought they might be children, but close up he could see that they were
perfectly proportioned adults but only two feet tall. They had light
brown skin and black hair, but he couldn't recall any details about what
clothing they were wearing. As he got out of his truck the little
figures began to scatter to the sides of the road, disappearing into the
underbrush along the highway. When he turned to go back to his truck he
saw it suddenly engulfed in blue flame, and in a matter of 30 minutes
the truck and its normally non-flammable contents were reduced to ashes
and fused metal. Two other motorists stopped to witness the
conflagration. According to the witness, two days after the fire metal
fragments that had been collected from the site spontaneously burst into
blue flames and were likewise reduced to ashes. The witness compared the
appearance of the little beings to stories of little people from Mexican
folklore, called the Chaneques. Investigators later learned that two
more trucks were similarly destroyed and that in one case, UFOs were
seen.

Description: 2:00 a.m. A Mrs. Geni, 57, is preparing
some wedding cake at her home in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo,
Brazil. Through her balcony window she sees a reflection of some kind in
her walled-in backyard. When she goes to her porch door, she sees a
flying object hovering above the roof of one of the rented buildings on
the ground floor in the back some 50 feet away. The object is
white-metallic and luminous on the bottom, about 6.5–13 feet wide and
3–6 feet high, with a kind of credenza behind which three entities can
be seen. They are small with large round heads, big eyes, protruding
lips, dark brown skin, small ears, long flat noses, small arms, and
wearing a cap with a ball in the center. Each holds a device like a
flashlight that emits a beam of different colors: green on the left, red
in the middle, and orange on the right. The object emits a noise like a
motor as it sways above the building, then after a few minutes it moves
away beyond the horizon. Mrs. Geni goes back to work, but she now has
pains in her knees, legs, and head. She screams in pain, and the young
woman who rents the building in the back arrives to help. She also has
heard the motor noise and confirms that Mrs. Geni’s face is swollen with
bloodshot eyes that last for 3 days. At about 5:00 a.m., Mrs. Geni
suffers a prolapsed uterus, for which she has to undergo surgery on June
8. She gradually loses hearing in her right ear, her vision
deteriorates, and spots appear on her skin. A clock in the kitchen
begins to behave erratically. In the backyard, a dwarf coconut tree and
a jabuticaba tree both lose their leaves prematurely.

Description: Sao Jose Do Rio Preto, Sao Paulo, Brazil -
Geni Lisboa was busily baking wedding cakes early in the morning at 2:00
a.m., when her attention was drawn outdoors by the squawking of her pet
parakeet. When she looked out she saw a luminous flying object
approaching her property. The object circled her garden and hovered
above the wall. Ms. Lisboa, only a few meters distant, could see three
identical looking figures of small stature through the transparent upper
portion. They were behind a kind of "parapet" which hid them from the
waist down. Each one was directly a beam of light down as if searching
for something. Then their beams simultaneously converged on the witness,
immediately paralyzing her. Feeling some pain and dizziness, she was
nevertheless able to call out for help to her neighbor, but the object
departed before she was able to respond.
When her neighbor
arrived, she found Ms. Lisboa's face swollen and her eyes bloodshot. Her
body was painful, particularly in the joints and especially in the
knees, but she continued working until the pain returned and she was
forced to call her neighbor again. Her physiological symptoms worsened
and she was hospitalized for what the doctors labelled a prolapsed
uterus. She had had a gynecological test six months before and had been
healthy. In addition to this, her eyesight worsened after the experience
to the point where she was forced to wear corrective lenses for the
first time in her life. Also, her previous medical condition of
hypertension seemed to have made an improvement to the degree where she
was able to drop all previous anti-hypertensive medication.

Description: Great Lakes Naval Base instructor RK
states a UAP was shot down by the US Navy with a surface to air missile,
retrieved from the ocean and taken in secret by rail to the Great Lakes
Naval Base under heavy guard. RK states he guarded the object in Chicago
and it was shot down in the Pacific; it was in a large quonset hut.
While on guard, he was approached by an officer in a jeep who handed him
a sealed envelope for the Commandant in the hut, to which he saw a
metallic craft, 30 feet long and 10 feet high resting on a wooden
platform.
It was light silvery blue and shimmering, tapered like a tear drop with a flange running along its topside from one end to the other and there were no windows. RK states he heard it was shot down by a missile between Hawaii and the mainland in June 1973, and was picked up on a destroyer’s radar and made three close passes. RK states he heard the object was retrieved by a Glomar Explorer, shipped to Hawaii, and then sent Stateside and to Chicago.

Description: 2:00 a.m. Jill Cotmore wakes up in her
home near Tyringham, New South Wales, with an uneasy feeling. She lights
a cigarette and the room is immediately engulfed in a bright light, even
though the windows have heavy curtains. It is so bright that she can’t
even see a cupboard 3 feet away from her. Outside, her horse is going
berserk. Suddenly, the light is gone. The next day, she finds the horse
frothing, and it had apparently been running around the house during the
night. This takes place in the middle of a concentration of UFO reports
in the area.

Description: (Translated from French) As this is a
report grouping 118 separate testimonies of encounters with unknown
creatures, the date and location have been generalized. Each report
differs somewhat but all have certain details in common. The common
thread of the reports is the encounter with one or more hairy creatures,
resembling monkeys, with glowing eyes, prominent ears, large noses,
carnivorous teeth and long arms. Where Gordon was able to take
footprints, they were very large. The encounters usually took place in
wooded areas or near rural villages. During the observation of these
creatures, domestic animals usually remained calm, but in the period
before and after, animals and small children were very agitated: cows
mooed, dogs barked, children cried all night. These creatures have often
been seen in association with UFO sightings, seen entering or exiting a
UFO, and occasionally telepathic messages from these creatures have been
reported. On three occasions the witnesses shot at them from close
range, which caused the instant disappearance of the entity, in a flash
of light. (1973, Summer)

Description: At midnight Roberta T. sighted from her
Phoenix, Arizona patio what first appeared to be a star. It descended
from the sky until it came much closer and appeared to be a large,
illuminated spherical object, hovering in a spot just above some trees
beyond her patio. As it hovered, a square opening appeared on the side
facing her, like a "garage doors opening." Illuminated brightly from
within, she observed a human-like figure approach the opening from one
side, cross over, and then bend down to do something. When she uttered
an exclamation he abruptly looked up and out at her and peered directly
at her, leaning out of the opening. He was visible from the knees up and
wore a tight-fitting garment. When he dropped his head down to look at
her she could see that he was tall, with a large head and with hands
that appeared to be busy working instruments. She next heard a humming
sound, and saw a second, smaller object approaching to her left. It
passed a post on the patio and abruptly disappeared. She then looked
back toward the first object and found it too had vanished. She then
fell asleep and when she came to later, found herself lying in a
different position.
Under hypnotic regression, she described
seeing the same figure appear before her on the patio. She then
describes in vague uncertain terms how she was told not to be afraid,
and then "taken somewhere" by being floated upwards. She recalled seeing
a dog that had been constantly barking also floating in the air. She was
in some dark "enclosed" place where she couldn't see and an instrument
of some sort was placed on her head, which made her uncomfortable. There
were others around her but she "felt" them rather than saw them. She had
the impression they were "talking" to each other in a language she could
not understand. She also had the impression there were two people
present. When she awoke on the patio, it was some 4 or 5 hours
later.

Description: (Translated from French) A little after
midnight, Randy Needdham and Judy Johnson were parked in their car on
the boat dock of the Big Muddy River. Suddenly a shrill cry. Looking up
they saw, coming from who knows where, a huge giant walking heavily
towards them. He stopped six meters away. He seemed white, with short
hair plastered with the mud of the river. He was of very strong build
and measured about 2 m. The witnesses fled to go and warn the police,
who found traces.

Description: 12:30 a.m. University of Missouri animal
care technician James G. Richards, 41, and his daughter Vanea, 16, hear
a loud, persistent, thrashing sound outside their house trailer in
Columbia, Missouri. Richards moves to the window and sees two bright,
silver-white light beams about 5 feet apart from each other and 50 feet
away from his window. The beams disappear, and a glowing bright oval
form appears, about 12–15 feet in diameter, lighting up the area. The
thrashing sound is apparently made by trees moving as if blown by wind,
and after the oval form appears, this sound suddenly ceases. As Richards
moves from window to window, he notices his dogs lying very still near
the corner of the trailer that is nearest to the oval object. The dogs
are large security animals that are not easily frightened. Richards
thinks it strange they are not barking at all the noise and the bright
lights. The object moves away to 200 feet from the window and hovers,
and now, less bright to the eye, the witnesses can see a blue band of
light and an orange glow extending around the outer edge of the oval.
The oval moves back near its original position and disappears by growing
smaller before police arrive at 1:45 a.m. Later searches uncover broken
tree limbs, damaged foliage, scorched leaves up to a height of 35 feet,
and impressions on the ground as deep as 2 feet.

development, one of the photos showed a bright point in the night of the
eclipse. (15 km from the plane) Upon magnification, this "star" took on
the size of a flying saucer. This bright point had been observed by the
entire crew: planet or saucer? (Robert ROUSSEL: "OVNI, the end of the
secret" - Belfond 1978, p. 20) IN REALITY: According to Pierre Guérin, a
well-known astrophysicist and an experienced ufologist, the bright spot
has absolutely nothing mysterious about it. That day at 11:12, the swarm
of Beta Taurid meteors was indeed passing over the equatorial African
zone and was therefore clearly visible. René Fouéré from GEPAN thinks it
was a development fault, such as one caused by the presence of a small
air bubble.

Description: (Translated from French) It was a day in
July 1973, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Suddenly we observed an object
flying from north to south, in our direction. Its speed was slow and no
sound was heard. Looking at it more closely, we noticed that it
resembled a large shuttle and that its two ends were pointed. Its entire
body was transparent like glass. In its front part there were lights
inside as bright as an electric arc. The middle and back were divided
into four floors with portholes neatly arranged like those of a large
boat. At 7000 meters altitude, it seemed enormous to us. If it had
landed on the ground, it would have been at least as high as a two-story
building. Throughout its journey over our heads, it made no noise. We
immediately alerted the other fighters of the barracks and everyone came
out and looked in amazement. (...) Our observation lasted in all five or
six minutes. The object disappeared in the distance. (July 1973)

boat" approach from over the lake. It stopped and hovered offshore. The
light seemed to radiate from a kind of "jelly," glowing in an unusual
manner. Jarmo thought he could see a strange being inside the light. The
next thing he remembered he was lying on the porch of his cottage porch
at about 6:00 a.m. He had lost track of four hours of time.

Description: Senora Mabel Gorchs de Veron was crossing
the central Plaza Colon at 6:30 p.m. in Mar del Plata, Argentina when
she observed a bright green light that made her look up. One hundred
meters above here was a circular object about 10 meters (33 feet) in
diameter, emitting a blue glow. It had a dome on the upper past and a
row of small windows around it, through which a dim light came from the
inside. There were some "strange figures" looking out from these
windows. The domed craft remained motionless for several seconds until a
commercial aircraft flew by. The UFO followed it for a few moments
before flying out over the sea. A newspaperman and a group of office
employees of the Argentine National Airline also observed the UFO. Later
that evening, at 7:15 p.m. Sr. Nahuel Villegas succeeded in seeing some
shadows moving around inside the same or similar object while looking
through his telescope at 200x magnification. The object was at a higher
altitude, and remained in the sky for four hours, during which it was
seen by hundreds of witnesses.

Description: At 8 p.m. a supervisor at the Goshen,
Indiana rubber plant was called outside by one of his men who had been
smoking a cigarette. The man pointed up and to his left, and they both
saw an unidentified craft moving very slowly from the northwest to the
southeast. There were a number of downward slanted windows in the craft
and they could see several humanoid figures moving about inside. Some
appeared to be peering down out of the windows. The background behind
the figures was red, making the figures look like silhouettes. The
unusual thing about the craft was that it made a bobbing motion as it
moved.. They watched the UFO for about 10 minutes until it drifted out
of sight.

Center in Overland, Missouri. The losses to federal military records
collection include 80% loss to records of US Army personnel discharged
November 1, 1912, to January 1, 1960; 75% loss to records of US Air
Force personnel discharged September 25, 1947, to January 1, 1964, with
names alphabetically after Hubbard, James E.; and some US Army Reserve
personnel who performed their initial active duty for training in the
late 1950s but who received final discharge as late as 1964. None of the
records have duplicate copies, nor are there microfilm copies. No index
of these records was made prior to the fire.

Description: At 10:00 p.m. on this night three
witnesses in the northern Mojave Desert, California observed the descent
of a torpedo-shaped UFO over an isolated area, close to a ranch owned by
one of them. As the UFO hovered near the ground, three "animate objects"
dropped from it to the ground and "ambled" off in different directions.
One witness described two glowing reddish lights in what would be the
approximate placement of eyes in their heads. The next day tracks
similar to those attributed to Bigfoot were made in the area.

Description: A 16-year-old UFO buff finds and
photographs some strange marks on the ground near Lago d’Idro, Brescia,
Italy. In 1977 he undergoes hypnotic regression and realizes he has been
touched by a human shape that makes him lose consciousness. When he
wakes up he is being sucked into an aerial object through an opening at
its base. He finds himself in a round room with four beings. Then a
woman comes in and the entities begin moving around and touching him. He
is paralyzed and can only move his eyes. He is then taken to another
room and directed to sit on a chair as the UFO lands in the spot where
he had been before. He then leaves the object and watches it take off.
He picks up his camera and photographs the ground traces.

Description: In Lago D'Idro Brescia, Italy a
16-year-old boy found and photographed some strange traces he found in
the area. He seemed to have experienced a period of missing time. Under
hypnosis he recalled being approached and touched by a human looking
figure. He then became confused and felt he had been sucked up inside a
hovering object from below. He found himself in a round room where four
beings stood. A woman entered the room and the beings began talking and
touching the witness. He could not move the entire time. He was then sat
in a chair next to a window, and watched as the object descended and
landed. He was then released.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 2pm,
Edmond Cardoso, working at Fazenda Velha, heard a rustling in the leaves
20m away from him: through the leaves he saw a sparkling ball near a
bush whose leaves were agitated (even though there was no wind). As he
got closer, he noticed that the object was floating 50cm from the
ground, that it was a ball 2m in diameter of a blue-aluminum color with
a nearly blinding shine. The object was horizontally encircled by a dark
green band and at the top of the ball emerged a vertical cylinder 4-5m
high and 50cm wide. The cylinder was finished with a funnel-shaped form
also 4-5m high. This object rotated on itself in 2-3 seconds and swayed
with an amplitude of about 50cm. Cautiously, he stepped back a few paces
when he heard a clap, like a metal door. He turned around and indeed saw
in the lower part of the ball an opening about 1m high and 60cm wide and
saw at the same time that the thickness of the wall was indeed 5cm. In
the frame appeared 30 seconds later a being of human appearance that was
floating outside 50cm from the ground, completely dressed in black from
feet to head, except for the details that were ash-colored: the wrists
and hands were smooth, the shoes 20cm long, 5cm wide and 3cm thick, a
band around the neck 6cm wide, openings for the eyes and mouth. The
fabric was of the bubbled kind, like several juxtaposed half-spheres.
The being was connected to the craft by two transparent cables 5cm wide
coming from the shoes towards the inside of the UFO. In 5 strides it
advanced 3m towards the witness who, terrified, ran away. (1973, August
(a Tuesday))

Description: 10:30 p.m. Three people are sitting in
their front yard in West Seneca, New York, when they hear a low hum
coming from an object above their garage. It is a silvery half-egg with
glowing orange-and-blue overtones. It begins a slow descent toward the
roof, and when it is only 5 feet away, one of the witnesses yells for it
to stop. The object stops, hovers briefly, and shoots away straight
upward. One of the witnesses hears the same hum at about the same time
two days later, and the same object appears, moving down the street. The
object is only 3–4 feet above the pavement and covers the width of the
road. The witness approaches it, and it stops at the end of his
driveway. He walks toward it and gets only 4–5 feet from it without
feeling any heat. When his dog barks, he backs away. The object waits a
moment, then slowly moves 20 feet down the street, quickly rises, and
vanishes rapidly at a 45° angle. (Michael D. Swords, “Unusual
Experiences from the Timmerman Files,” IUR 27, no. 2 (Summer 2002):
23–24) Between August 3–6 — Night. A woman and her children are watching
the stars in their backyard in San Antonio, Texas. Two “very perfect”
cumulus clouds move into view low above them. A perfectly round sphere
with a green glow slowly emerges from the top of the cloud on the left.
Soon they see lightning going back and forth from the two clouds but
never toward the ground. One lightning bolt hits the sphere and red
sparks fly out, whereupon the sphere slowly reenters the cloud. The
clouds remain stationary for 35–40 minutes until the sphere disappears,
then they float on.

Description: A week to ten days after observing a
mysterious light maneuvering in the sky, the witness had to return to
Phoenix and she asked her brother to go along with her for company. At
around ten o'clock on this night, while driving up a hill somewhere in
the vicinity of Indio, California she began to receive pictures in her
mind and had a sense of presence. These "images" came in grays and
browns, and she tried to counter them by thinking of bright colors. She
found the gray images unpleasant, and had the sense of an interior, with
gray green walls, which had three vague "forms" in it. Believing she was
daydreaming and tired, she forced her concentration back to her driving
when she noticed colors reflecting on the dashboard and asked her
brother if there was something in the sky. Both of them briefly observed
a light over the highway changing colors from blue, to green, to red, to
yellow, and then to a brilliant white. Then it vanished. It was in view
for less than a minute.
Her brother was very excited. The trip
continued and seemed to be uneventful. However, later under hypnotic
regression she was asked to examine her image of a gray interior more
closely. She described the gray-green walls, with at least one black
line, or slot, on the back wall. She was with three vague shapes or
shadows. It didn't feel like a pleasant place, and she felt she had had
another such experience at another time. She was asked to go back to
that experience and she found herself in another room with a window
looking out on an orange sky. There was a white bench in the room, and
the room seemed very sterile. Then she found herself in a huge place
with a domed ceiling, and she was standing beside a 20 foot high
crystal, set at an angle so that it pointed towards the sky. It was
green on the bottom half and it revolved. There were other similar
crystals in this place, about five in all, and they were hooked up to a
large piece of machinery that was similar to a generator. The crystal
was connected to the machine by a rod. The whole room hummed. There were
two other people with her; one dressed in gray, looking older with
grayish hair. The younger man, wearing black, is taller. They pointed
out a formula to her, which was on the wall. It was composed of script
letters. She was brought out of the trance and given a post hypnotic
suggestion that she will recall the formula and be able to reproduce it
on a piece of drawing paper, which she does.

Description: (Translated from French) Students near the
ravine "El Jordan" who were to collect samples of vegetation saw at the
edge of the almost dried-up stream, 4 small beings no more than 20 cm
tall: they were examining the mud. Dressed in white, with small gray
caps, they looked like miniature little men. Upon the approach of the
students they disappeared "into the air". A police officer was also a
witness to the phenomenon. The footprints of the little steps were
photographed. (GEPA n° 45 - p. 27 - 1975) Four young boys saw tiny
entities in the muddy bed of the river.

when between Casalincontrada and Chieti, Italy they saw a bizarre figure
almost six meters tall, leaning against a light pole. The being was
human looking but very tall and thin. It wore a shiny white smock-like
outfit and wore tall white boots. It had long white hair and a dark
complexion. The witnesses were able to see the figure close up, at a
distance of only two meters. The bus stopped in order for the witnesses
to get a better look, but the figure quickly faded away, leaving behind
a strong sulfur like odor and a consistent whistle-like sound.

Description: At 2:30 a.m. a woman was alone in her
bedroom in Derry, Pennsylvania and had her bedroom window open with the
drapes closed. She awoke with the feeling that someone was watching her.
She turned her head and was horrified to see a hideous face staring at
her from the window. The creature was over nine feet tall and had dark
oval eyes with no whites nor eyelashes. Apparently it had pushed the
drapes aside to look inside. The creature moved back awkwardly as the
witness moved. Her daughter also saw a huge shadow on the wall from a
figure outside. A strong odor like rotten meat persisted after the
creature had gone.

and Ivy Tanks, Western Australia. She had been sleeping but awoke to
observe a bright egg-shaped object on the ground off to the left side of
the road. Walking towards an open door was a normal sized figure of
human appearance. A second occupant was seen seated inside the object,
through a squarish window. He was looking up at something in the craft.
As the truck drove past the light rapidly faded until by the time she
got the driver to stop only a single white light was visible in the
distance. Both figures wore white silvery suits. She said she had been
awakened by a "voice" just prior to her observation.

2:00 a.m. they saw an orange ball descend behind a copse. Walking toward
the copse they encountered a man between 6.5 and 7 feet tall. He was
wearing a two-piece garment of dark green denim like material with an
"anorak" type hood that almost completely covered his face. He held a
silver object resembling a flashlight. The man shouted in a resonant
voice; "Move on! Go away!" McClure shouted, "Will you harm us?" There
was no reply, he then asked, "Will you come back?" The answer was "Yes."
Another member of the group followed this man into the copse, where he
vanished while the witness attention was diverted for a moment.

Description: Kent, Litchfield County, Connecticut - At
10:30 p.m. two 17-year-old boys were driving north on Route 7 from
Westchester County, New York to Connecticut and saw a large oval object
with flashing colored lights when they were several miles south of town.
The object hovered just over the ridge on the west side of the
Housatonic River, and they stopped and got out for a better look. They
were joined by another couple, a boy and girl also driving back from
Westchester to Connecticut. Meanwhile on Spooner Hill, in Kent,
Connecticut to the east, a witness on his way to visit his friends, a
young married couple, saw the same object and when he arrived at his
friend's house, he called them outside. By this time the object had
dropped behind a ridge, although they could still see its lights shining
over the crest of the hill. They got into the witness car and drove down
the hill to Route 7, where they met the four younger people. All seven
then drove north into town to bring back two additional witnesses. The
large object was no longer visible, but they now saw a dozen or so
smaller whitish lights maneuvering in a circular pattern just this side
of the ridge. These lights then separated into a single line and
proceeded north toward Mt. Algo, just southwest of the main section of
Kent. The witnesses got into their cars and followed the lights toward
Kent. The two additional witnesses were dropped off in town while the
other seven turned west on Rte. 341 and crossed the bridge over the
river, heading toward Mt. Algo. There they turned south on Schaghticoke
Road, which runs along the base of the mountain, to Bonu's Field, an
open spot about a mile south. The group assembled there briefly but was
unable to see anything. Meanwhile, at about the same time, a separate
group of three teenage girls, camping out in a backyard along the
Housatonic, observed a line of lights descending Mt. Algo on its steep,
north side. The witnesses at Bonu's field had gotten back in their cars
and drove north again to the junction of Rte 341, where they discovered
a small parked white car that had not been there a few minutes earlier.
They parked their cars and the two younger boys got out and asked the
occupants of the white car (two unidentified girls) if they had seen
anything unusual. They said that they were waiting for a group of hikers
who had told them an hour earlier that they were "hiking over the
mountain" and that the girls should meet them there.
Just then
a group of 15 to 20 "hikers" came jogging down Schaghticoke Road from
the same direction the young people had just driven (they had not seen
anyone on the road). Each "hiker" had a lighted hat like a miner's hat
on his head and they all carried poles or "rods." They were mumbling or
"chanting" and approached in a double column. They did not answer the
boy's questions as they passed on either side of them, when asked where
they'd come from. According to the young people, the "hikers" apparently
turned right at Route 341 and headed towards Kent. However, when they
all got back in their cars and drove after them, the "hikers" were
nowhere to be seen--as though they had disappeared into thin air.
According to the two young men and the younger couple, there were at
least two hours they could not account for. The three older people could
not recall what they did or where they went after the "hikers" passed
them. Hypnotic regression was attempted, but the results are not
described.

Description: Kent, Litchfield County, Connecticut - At
10:30 p.m. two 17-year-old boys were driving north on Route 7 from
Westchester County, New York to Connecticut and saw a large oval object
with flashing colored lights when they were several miles south of town.
The object hovered just over the ridge on the west side of the
Housatonic River, and they stopped and got out for a better look. They
were joined by another couple, a boy and girl also driving back from
Westchester to Connecticut. Meanwhile on Spooner Hill, in Kent,
Connecticut to the east, a witness on his way to visit his friends, a
young married couple, saw the same object and when he arrived at his
friend's house, he called them outside. By this time the object had
dropped behind a ridge, although they could still see its lights shining
over the crest of the hill. They got into the witness car and drove down
the hill to Route 7, where they met the four younger people.
All seven then drove north into town to bring back two additional
witnesses. The large object was no longer visible, but they now saw a
dozen or so smaller whitish lights maneuvering in a circular pattern
just this side of the ridge. These lights then separated into a single
line and proceeded north toward Mt. Algo, just southwest of the main
section of Kent. The witnesses got into their cars and followed the
lights toward Kent. The two additional witnesses were dropped off in
town while the other seven turned west on Rte. 341 and crossed the
bridge over the river, heading toward Mt. Algo. There they turned south
on Schaghticoke Road, which runs along the base of the mountain, to
Bonu's Field, an open spot about a mile south. The group assembled there
briefly but was unable to see anything. Meanwhile, at about the same
time, a separate group of three teenage girls, camping out in a backyard
along the Housatonic, observed a line of lights descending Mt. Algo on
its steep, north side. The witnesses at Bonu's field had gotten back in
their cars and drove north again to the junction of Rte 341, where they
discovered a small parked white car that had not been there a few
minutes earlier. They parked their cars and the two younger boys got out
and asked the occupants of the white car (two unidentified girls) if
they had seen anything unusual. They said that they were waiting for a
group of hikers who had told them an hour earlier that they were "hiking
over the mountain" and that the girls should meet them there.
Just then a group of 15 to 20 "hikers" came jogging down Schaghticoke
Road from the same direction the young people had just driven (they had
not seen anyone on the road). Each "hiker" had a lighted hat like a
miner's hat on his head and they all carried poles or "rods." They were
mumbling or "chanting" and approached in a double column. They did not
answer the boy's questions as they passed on either side of them, when
asked where they'd come from. According to the young people, the
"hikers" apparently turned right at Route 341 and headed towards Kent.
However, when they all got back in their cars and drove after them, the
"hikers" were nowhere to be seen--as though they had disappeared into
thin air. According to the two young men and the younger couple, there
were at least two hours they could not account for. The three older
people could not recall what they did or where they went after the
"hikers" passed them. Hypnotic regression was attempted, but the results

approach their car near the town of Gravatai and begin pacing them on
the left side, some 2-3 kilometers away. When the driver blinked the
headlights off and on, the object reproduced the same signals. The
driver stopped the car and he and some passengers then got out, waving
their arms. The object was very close to the ground and appeared to be
about to land. They resumed their trip and after awhile the object,
which continued to pace them, beamed a light in their direction. One of
the passengers said she had the impression something or someone was
trying to contact her mentally.

Description: (Translated from French) It was 7:45 PM,
night had just fallen, Mr. Plume was driving his daughter Sonia to Mons.
"Suddenly, at the exit of a bend, we saw in front of us on the left of
the road an immobile object at about 200 m of height, almost vertically
above an electric cabin, at less than 200 m from us. It was like a
flower pot of the size of a small car, with at its upper part a kind of
saw of which one could only see the teeth. At the extremities of this
part two short oblique antennas. The whole was of a vivid orange color.
Four dazzling yellow lights on the antennas and at the base of the
object were twinkling. The upper part under the teeth was more clear and
blurry, yellow-orange. The teeth were brownish. An orange clear and
blurry halo was crowning the object between the antennas. It was
animated by light vibrations. A few seconds later, arrived at the height
of the electric cabin, the object inclined towards the right and moved
away towards Ciply. Its light was decreasing in intensity and its
contours were fading."

and had sparkling antenna-like protrusions at either end. The object was
dazzling to look at and seemed to be vibrating slightly. As they pulled
abreast of the power station the object's luminosity diminished and it
flew away, rising gradually in a slight curve and disappeared.

long skinny arms were crossing each other. The craft suddenly turned off
its lights and ascended quickly out of sight.

and the light goes out. She hears an “electric whirring” and the green

Location: PORTUGAL, Alija-Vila Réal (Oporto)
Description: (Translated from French) Between 10:30 PM
and midnight, Serge Ribeiro Lisboa, Maria Filomena Costa Lisboa, and
Maria Carmela Santos Costa were travelling together in a car. Near Sao
Laurenço and Tua, they heard an unusual buzzing coming from outside the
car, and a faint light moving to their right. The driver stopped and all
the passengers got out. They then saw a white, luminous object, like a
disk, emitting a powerful red light from its upper part. These flashes
allowed them to see part of the structure, which appeared to be
metallic, light aluminum. The object was small: 2 m in diameter, 1 m
high, and seemed to be at 300 m altitude. Feeling uneasy, the witnesses
got back in the car and continued their journey to the town of Alija.
There, the engine had some difficulty with its speed, for no apparent
reason, and they heard the buzzing again, with a sound of modulated,
brief cadence, without any light being seen. After a journey of 4 or 5
km, they saw an unusual object in the headlights on the road. A strange
cylindrical object emitting a bright green color. The driver slowed
down, fearing it was some kind of explosive, and narrowly avoided the
object. At the same time, the passengers saw two human forms lying on
their backs on the embankment. They were wearing lead-silver colored
suits, were 1.5 m tall, and had spherical helmets with a horizontal
rectangular window at eye level and an antenna 50 cm long emitting red
glows at its end. The observation was brief. Frightened, the driver
accelerated and as the car passed the cylindrical object, the two
humanoid forms rose from the ground, in a rigid manner, without any
movement of their arms or legs. The witnesses then saw a kind of
backpack on the backs of the humanoids as they rose and disappeared
above the car. [vog: to note that of this observation in Portugal, I
have absolutely seen nothing in the list of Portuguese ufologists
themselves!]

Description: Julian Garside was riding home from work
at night on a friend's motorbike near Halifax, Yorkshire, England when
the two young men saw three bright triangular lights, or shapes, gliding
uphill through the woods near the road. They stopped and, out of
curiosity, decided to follow. The shapes sped up and the boys noticed an
odor like burning oil. When they reached the top of the hill, a quarter
mile from the road, the figures had vanished; above them, however, they
observed a small, round orange light, like a road-crossing beacon. It
vanished in about a minute. There had been no path through the woods,
and the three objects (or figures) appeared to glide straight through
the undergrowth, leaving no traces. The odor of oil was the only trace
left behind.

Description: A series of reports occurred in Sidney,
North Carolina starting on September 20. Though several people reported
seeing something, the main witnesses were members of the Williamson
family from the town of Sidney. They saw at least one humanoid with
large red glowing eyes, a gray face, long hair, pointed ears, and a
hooked nose. It was dressed in a brown shirt and black pants and had a
small brown cap on its head. It walked with a limp and had one hand
missing. It was said to leave no tracks and to leap 50-60 feet in a
single bound. It had a metal medallion on its chest, which was said to
be used for communication and disappearing.

Location: Tyler, Texas
Description: 5:00 a.m. A truck driver is driving to
work near Tyler, Texas, when a small “cub airplane” seems to fly
directly in front of another car on the highway, nearly causing a wreck.
The plane flies up over the side of the road and hovers above some
trees. Then it changes into a cigar shape with lights. The driver gets
out of his truck to watch. The cigar moves off then returns with a new,
round shape. It lights up with many multicolored lights and moves above
a nearby house. It makes a low, “loop-loop-loop” thumping sound. Then a
large, bright, square light descends and swings from the other object.
It approaches the truck, then swings back and forth. He tries to jump
back in the truck but apparently passes out. He later notices he has
some marks on his hip and shoulder. He does remember seeing the UFO
change from a round shape into a triangle, and then move out of
sight.

Description: Late night. 1st Lt. Walter F. Billings is
a deputy crew commander at the Francis E. Warren AFB Golf launch control
capsule missile site northwest of Sidney, Nebraska. Over UHF radio, he
hears the crew at LCC India, southwest of Sunol, Nebraska, order its
security guards to investigate an alarm at one of India’s 10 launch
sites. The guards find that the inner security alarm has also been
triggered, meaning that something has penetrated the security fence
surrounding the site. They find a large, bright UFO hovering above the
site. One minute later, the UFO moves off slowly for several thousand
feet then zooms off at a high rate of speed. All crews on duty that
night are told not to say anything to the public or media about anything
they heard on UHF radio that night.

Description: The main witness was a young woman who was
walking through a local park in Actinolite, Ontario, Canada along with
some friends during the evening when a strange heavy mist enveloped the
area. They saw what seemed to be a silvery glow coming from the center
of the mist. and the witness felt strongly attracted to it. As she got
closer she saw a beautiful silvery object on the ground. She described
it as a "starship." She went inside the object and saw several of her
friends being led towards different sections of the craft. She was taken
to a large circular room of a transparent blue color with two
transparent doors at each end. The occupants of the UFO were all
apparently human or human-like beings and beautiful in appearance.
Through a large window she saw a woman sitting at a communications
console. The witness sat on a chair in the center of the room and ate
from a bowl of fruit on a table. A man entered the room and walked into
what appeared to be a circular shower stall and removed some dirty
coveralls. When the stall lit up the man then emerged wearing shiny
clean coveralls. The witness felt that she had experienced some type of
mind control onboard the object, which changed her life.

Description: (Translated from French) Antoine walked to
a small clearing to pick mushrooms. It was 5:30 PM, the sun was already
low, the sky covered with a few clouds, not a breath of wind. He noticed
a large "mushroom nest" and bent down to pick it, but when he looked up
he saw two "children" coming out of the bushes 30 m away from him. He
called them to come pick mushrooms with him. But they were not children:
they were small people 1.2 m tall, with regular and fine features,
wearing a beret, dressed in a tight beige jumpsuit, their hands were
bare, but Antoine did not see their feet, hidden in the grass. Yet one
detail struck him: they had no ears. At Antoine's call they looked
surprised, emitted a kind of laugh, then disappeared into the bushes. A
few seconds later, an oval shape, gray-blue matte, without visible
opening, rose from behind the bushes. It measured 5 m long and about 2 m
wide, it rose to 20 m, dragging the dead leaves up to 6 m from the
ground. It remained motionless for a brief moment, then flew
horizontally at a dizzying speed towards Mont Ventoux. All this was done
without the slightest noise, except for a slight whistle during the
vertical ascent. There were traces on the ground at the supposed landing
site.

Description: At around 5:30 p.m., while picking
mushrooms in the woods on Mont Real in Bedarrides, Vancluse, France, the
witness observed a four-foot-tall dwarf standing at the edge of the
clearing some 100 feet away. As he grabbed something from the ground a
second identical-looking being joined the first one from the woods
beyond. They looked human and wore beige coveralls that covered up their
wrists and neck; their feet were obscured by high grass. Their arms were
slender and their hands normal. Each wore a black beret on his head.
Thinking they were children, the witness called out to them, whereupon
they laughed aloud, then turned and fled into the brush behind them. A
few seconds later, the witness saw a dull bluish-gray oval-shaped
object, about five meters wide, rise up beyond the trees and ascend to a
height of 20 feet, making a slight whistling sound. There it paused
briefly, then departed toward the northeast rapidly and in total
silence. At the landing site, a bush and some grass had been flattened,
suggesting that the UFO had been hovering a foot or so above the
ground.

humanoid was carrying a large luminous sphere in its hands. The girls
ran off hysterically into their house. The father of one of the girls
then went into the woods in search of the creature and stayed there for

in the woods. During the period of time he was in the woods several
people watched a silvery object hovering over the woods. At one point it

Description: The witnesses, Claude Champoux, Florent
Papillon and a man called J. R. were camping near a
lake--Lac-aux-Bleuets, Quebec, Canada--when they heard a loud engine
sound coming from a nearby field. When they went to look the men spotted
an oval-shaped, metallic object on the ground. The UFO was silvery in
color and emitted flourescent-like orange lights that changed colors to
blue, and red. A strange humanoid figure, metallic or robot-like in
appearance, stood next to the object. It was wearing either a reflective
metallic suit or was itself made out of metal. The being's body emitted
bright silvery flashes. While on the ground the object emitted a sound
resembling that of a transformer. Soon the strange character disappeared
inside the object, which then rose up, moving up and down like a yo-yo,
it then accelerated and disappeared at high speed. They estimated the
craft to have been about 600 feet in diameter.

Description: At 9:30 p.m. a Franklin County, Ohio man
found the landing site of an object he had seen hovering near his home
earlier in the evening. The site was in a field of waist-high weeds
about a quarter mile south of Hall Road, west of Outerbelt, Ohio. Weeds
had been crushed to the ground in a semi-oval area 20 feet x 30 feet.
There were no scorch marks. The object had swooped down in a zigzag
pattern and dropped below trees. Several dozen other sightings were
reported from the area.

Description: (Translated from French) The same scenario
was repeated in October 1973, during the Yom Kippur War between Arabs
and Israelis. This time the means employed were much more important, in
proportion to the stakes. Eight satellites were launched in two weeks,
the first three (Cosmos 596, 597, 598) were recovered after 6 days of
observation. For the others, the delay ranged from 7 to 13 days.

Description: (Translated from French) George Chubert
was on his way to work on his moped. It was 5:30, still dark. His engine
had some hiccups in a slight curve and stopped. He resumed his journey
pushing the moped. As he came out of the curve, he was blinded by a
strong bright white light and a few meters further he could make out a
bright shape blocking the whole road. He was scared. He was completely
terrified when he saw a being approach him and put his left hand on his
right shoulder. "Where are you going?" the being asked. "To work"
Chubert replied. "I'll be back" said the other. "But now don't look at
what I'm going to do". Real exchange or telepathy? In any case, Chubert
obeyed and turned around. A few seconds later the craft flew away with a
"buzzing of a bee swarm". 3m.

Description: (Translated from French) In the October
issue of Pursuit, Hubert Malthaner, after a long investigation
into the metal cube discovered in 1885, indicates that the famous "cube"
had never actually disappeared from the Salzburg museum (as was believed
in 1910), since it had in fact always been in the Vöcklabrück regional
museum (Austria). He supports his claims with a photograph of the cube,
showing that it is far from being as artificially-appearing as it had
been proclaimed. He finally indicates that an analysis carried out in
1986 (1886?) at the Vienna Natural History Museum had established that
the object was simply a mass of cast iron. Finally, it also seems that
the cube was not found in a mine but by a worker from a foundry who was
breaking coal blocks

Description: Night. Sgt. Michael D. Jenkins of the 96th
Security Police Squadron is stationed at Dyess AFB southwest of Abilene,
Texas, when a major alert goes off at the base after a large ball of
light is reported hovering 100–150 feet above igloo bunkers housing
nuclear weapons. Twelve police with M-16s are sent to the Weapons
Storage Area, and an incoming C-130 is asked to do a fly-by of the area
to get a look at the object. Three K-9 teams that normally patrol the
perimeter report that their dogs are afraid and acting up. An order to
fire on the object comes from Strategic Air Command Headquarters Offutt
AFB near Bellevue, Nebraska. Jenkins hears gunfire and sees a
bluish-white streak as the object speeds off. As it leaves, it drops a
trail of “angel hair” all the way from the weapons area to the southwest
perimeter of the base. The angel hair hangs around on the area ropes and
buildings for three days. On the third day it rains and the material
dissolves, completely disappearing.

Description: Sgt. Michael D. Jenkins, 96th Security
Police Squadron at Dyess AFB, TX worked security over nuclear-armed B-52
bombers. The base had a nuclear weapons storage area as well. Jenkins
states he and his squadron were ordered to draw arms from the armory and
patrol after a large spherical UAP was seen over the weapons storage
area. Jenkins states he heard an order to “move it out of the area,”
afterward hearing gunfire and seeing a “streak of bluish-white light
moving at high speed” out of the base. “It was the UFO getting out of
there,” he states. Jenkins and others were told not to speak about the
incident under penalty of court-martial.
Jenkins states the next day he saw a Top Secret teletype that chemical analysis had been done on a thin, strand-like physical substance recovered outside on the base property. Neither Congress nor the American people at the time were aware that physical evidence was being recovered after UAP events.

Description: (Translated from French) A truck driver
was temporarily blinded when he stuck his head out of the open window to
get a better view of a UFO. His wife, who was accompanying him, said a
big ball of fire jumped in his face, tearing off his glasses. She took
the wheel to drive her husband to the hospital. The doctor examining the
glasses said a terrible heat had expanded the frame and one of the
lenses had fallen out. The truck driver was treated for his burns and
did not start to see again until several hours later.

Description: During a flurry of low-level UFO sightings
in the area of North Melbourne, Australia, a man woke up in the middle
of the night and noticed two figures standing in the shadows in front of
his bedroom wall looking at him. They were described as humanoid and
tall, and they appeared to be floating just above the floor. Both swayed
gently from side to side. Both beings had large baldheads, slanted eyes,
lipless mouths, and small flat noses. Their ears were pressed back
against the side of their heads. No clothing details could be discerned.
Moments later one of the beings opened his mouth and a high-pitched
whine filled the room. At the same time both beings began to fade and
disappeared.

Description: A man was driving on the Simi Freeway in
Simi Valley, California during the afternoon when he saw a 30 by 350
foot triangular object in a dust cloud near the road. It was 80-100 feet
away and was swaying back and forth 10 feet above the ground. An
eight-foot hose dangled from the bottom of the object. A clear bubble
three feet in diameter swiveled atop the UFO. As he watched a being
crawled around from behind the machine, looked at the witness, and then
scrambled out of sight. The humanoid was of normal stature but wore a
silvery type of wet suit. The bubble began rotating faster and
disappeared inside the object, which emitted a whirring noise. A fog
enveloped the craft, which then disappeared. An unidentified woman
witness had reported a similar sighting the week before.

Description: At 3:35 a.m. Helen Hoag of North Miami,
Florida--who had previously seen mysterious multi-colored lights outside
her window--decided to make an attempt to communicate with them using
telepathy. Moments later she unexpectedly found herself inside a
circular control room, onboard a V-shaped craft. A beautiful tall blond
woman greeted her. She wore shiny pale-blue pants, a jeweled scarf, and
a headband. The woman introduced herself then a taller man wearing a
silvery white suit appeared and introduced himself as the captain. There
was a metallic pole in the center of the craft that flashed in
multi-colored hues of light; and it seemed to be part of the flight
control mechanism. She was taken to a soft contour chair and given a
peach-colored liquid to drink. She was later shown a huge viewing screen
on which she was given different messages.

Location: CANADA, St Mathias de Chambly
Description: (Translated from French) At around
12:45am, the R.N. couple saw the light of a large projector about 500m
away, sweeping the ground of their land. The husband assumed it was the
police looking for cattle thieves reported in the area. At around
11:35am, while hanging laundry behind the house, Mrs. R.N. saw a thick
smoke on a wet, plowed land. She called her husband, as this smoke in
that place was rather unusual. In the same direction, the witnesses saw
a yellow-orange dome about 25m in diameter with blurry edges, as if
submerged in the fog. The object was 500m from the ground and a
yellow-orange "bulldozer" emerged from it and moved away 65m from the
large machine, to the edge of the stream near its source. Then there was
a back and forth of 5 small figures, 1m tall, wearing bright orange
suits, moving quickly, very busy and as if in a hurry to finish a job.
The small craft moved again following the stream and stopped 100m
further. The observation lasted between 20 and 25 minutes, but the
witnesses went about their business, coming to see from time to time "if
the children" were still there! At around 11:55am everything had
disappeared. The witnesses' daughter went to see on the spot and found a
large circle 18m in diameter and a smaller one 4m in diameter, where the
grass was flattened and burned in some places. As soon as she was back
home, she was taken with headaches and vomiting.

Description: 12:45 a.m. A couple strolling along a
country road near St.-Mathias-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, see a bright light
like a projector emanating from a nearby field. Later, at 11:30 a.m.,
the woman is hanging clothes on a line in her backyard when she notices
a column of smoke rising from fields in the north. She calls over two
workmen doing repairs at her home, and they see a yellowish object like
a tent near the smoke. Soon a square, yellow object resembling a
bulldozer emerges from the tent and travels about 180 feet to a small
spring. Between the two objects, moving around in the field, are five
“little people” about 4 feet tall performing various actions. Assuming
them to be boy scouts, the witnesses notice they are wearing some kind
of helmets and clothing that is the same color as the tent. The
witnesses return to their work and 20 minutes later someone notices that
the objects and figures have disappeared. The couple’s daughter returns
in half an hour and goes to check the location. She finds a large,
circular patch of burned and crushed grass about 45 feet in diameter, as
well as two tracklike marks, each about 6 inches wide. Returning, the
daughter feels ill with headache and nausea. A month later, UFO
investigators arrive and find additional marks in the shape of a
triangle.

Description: Shortly after midnight a married couple in
St.-Mathias-de-Chambly, Quebec saw bright lights on their property.
Later that morning they observed a dome like a "tent" about a third of a
mile away. A second, smaller object emerged from it and moved across the
ground to a distance of about 200 feet from them. Five figures of small
stature, wearing bright yellow garments and helmets, moved quickly back
and forth between the two objects for a time. When the witnesses next
looked, both the objects and the humanoids had vanished. Ground traces
were found at the sight the next day consisting of three rectangular
imprints arranged in a triangle with 34 foot sides. There was a 50 foot
in diameter circle of burnt grass, and a second circle 12 feet in
diameter next to a spring. The daughter, who investigated, subsequently
suffered from nausea and headaches.

Description: Fifteen objects with colored lights buzzed
rooftops in New Lebanon, Ohio at 7:30 p.m. By 8:00 p.m. there had been
at least 15 different sightings of UFOs "covered with red, green and
blue lights" reported in southwestern Ohio, zooming about at tree-top
level. Most sightings occurred between Dayton and Cincinnati, and were
all classified as "unofficial" reports by Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base officials. None were detected on radar, apparently because they
were flying too low. A New Lebanon Township, Ohio police officer
reported his sighting shortly after 8 p.m. "He didn't want to say he saw
it, but he said it," Montgomery County Sheriff's deputy Michael Sullivan
reported. "The officer said it was oblong and covered with lights. It
appeared stationary in the sky about treetop level for several minutes
until he tried to shine his cruiser spot light on it," Sullivan said.
"It then zoomed toward him and then shot straight up in the air... after
he turned out his light...and disappeared." Sullivan said the UFO
sightings lasted from a fleeting moment to twelve minutes. "They would
be behind the trees and come up and fly away...as if you startled it or
something," he said. A spokesman at Wright-Patterson AFB said there
would be no attempt to investigate the sightings unless there was an
"imminent danger."

Location: USA, Pascagoula
Description: (Translated from French) Charles Hickson,
a 45-year-old shipyard foreman, and Calvin Parker, 19, were fishing on
the banks of the Pascagoula River (in the town of the same name - Gulf
Coast of Mexico) at around 7:00 PM when they both noticed an oblong
shape emitting a bright blue light. The object was already very close
and was descending towards them, making a humming sound. Suddenly, an
opening appeared and three pale, reddish beings floated out of it.
Without having to use force, they grabbed the witnesses by the arms: two
of them took hold of Hickson, the third of Parker. They felt themselves
being lifted off the ground and guided towards the opening of the
object. From then on, the young Parker could not remember exactly what
happened to them. Hickson recounts that inside there was a white
luminescence without a visible source. He floated like the beings and
stayed there for between 20 and 30 minutes, under the gaze of what
looked like a large eye. Various instruments that he could not identify
were visible, but there were neither seats nor windows, only this
opening. He was unable to move, scared to death. The humanoids moved
around him and he was apparently observed by an electronic device. In
the end, the creatures brought the two men back, still floating, to
where they had found them. These beings, about 5 feet tall, did not seem
to be dressed. They emitted a faint humming sound. According to Parker:
they looked like ghosts, were naked and their skin was wrinkled. Hickson
estimated the dimensions of the craft to be 14 feet long by 8 feet wide.
It suddenly disappeared. The witnesses were convinced that no one would
believe them, but after reflection they decided to alert the
authorities. The police officer declared: "they were so scared they were
on the verge of a heart attack". The men were interrogated again and
again in the following days and gave another part of the observation
under hypnosis.

Description: Around 7:00 p.m. Two men, 19-year-old
Calvin Parker and 42-year old Charles
E. Hickson Sr., both
of Gautier, Mississippi, are fishing in the Pascagoula River when they
hear a buzzing noise behind them. Both turn and are terrified to see a
10-foot-wide, 8-foot-high, glowing egg-shaped object with blue lights at
its front hovering just above the ground about 40 feet from the
riverbank. As the men, frozen with fright, watch, a door appears in the
object and three strange beings float just above the river towards them.
The two become numb and paralyzed as the entities carry them into the
UFO. Some kind of “eye” device scans them before they are released 20
minutes later. They first contact Keesler AFB in Biloxi, but no one is
interested; then they drive to the offices of the Mississippi Press
Register a few blocks away, but it is closed. So they call the Jackson
County Sheriff’s Office to report their encounter, and they arrive there
at 10:30 p.m. At one point during 2 hours of intense grilling by Sheriff
Fred
R. Diamond, they
are left alone in an interrogation room where they are unknowingly tape
recorded while they continue to speak to each other about the abduction,
emotionally distressed.

Description: Two men, Charles Hickson and Calvin
Parker, were doing some evening fishing from an old pier in an abandoned
shipyard on the Pascagoula River in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Shortly
after nightfall, at around 8:30 p.m., Charley Hickson, looking around to
bait his hook, saw a domed, football-shaped object descend until it
hovered just off the ground about 30 feet away from them. The craft had
two windows and two blue lights, and made a buzzing sound. When the
object landed an unseen door opened to reveal a brilliantly lit
interior. Three beings came out and floated toward the witnesses. These
beings were about five feet tall. Their skin was gray and rough like
elephant skin that made them look like mummies. No clothes were
apparent. In the center of their faces was something about two inches
long that came out to a point and resembled a nose. They had a slit for
a mouth, which never opened, if they had eyes they couldn't be seen
because the area above the nose was too wrinkled. They had no neck and
their ears were pointed and retractable. Their arms were unusually long,
and their hands were like mittens with a thumb attached. Their legs
never moved but stayed together like a pedestal. Their feet were
elephant-like.
When two of the beings grabbed Hickson by his
arms he felt a pain in his left shoulder. This immobilized him and
allowed his captors to lift him and somehow float him over to the craft.
The third being seized Parker, who immediately went limp. Once inside
Hickson was nearly blinded by the light but was unable to close his
eyelids. He saw no furniture, only a screen-like device on the wall. He
hung suspended in the air at a 45-degree angle while an eyelike device
appeared out of the wall in front of his face and circled around him.
The beings that held Hickson moved in a stiff, mechanical way but did
their work with speed and efficiency. One made a buzzing sound. The
beings then disappeared for some time. When they returned, they grasped
Hickson again and floated him through the opening, which had reappeared.
They left him back at the place where they had found him. His legs
collapsed when he touched the ground. Parker stood by with a terrified
look on his face. Meanwhile, the buzzing sound and blue light resumed,
and the craft rose straight up and disappeared almost instantly. Hickson
"heard" a message in his mind that the beings were peaceful. Hickson
subsequently reported having three more close encounter incidents, one
of which apparently involved the same beings. Two involved telepathic
communication only and the transfer of information that has not been
disclosed.

Description: Civilians Charles Hickson and Calvin
Parker claim they see an oval UAP and are taken aboard the craft by
“robots” for examination near the Pascagoula River in Mississippi.
Hickson refused to take a polygraph, but former Project Blue
Book advisor J. Allen Hynek stated the testimony was
sincere.
Parker claims his father once worked for the Atomic Energy Commission near Area 51, and the sighting occurred near a shipyard managed by Ingalls Shipbuilding, then owned by Litton Industries, creator of advanced space suits for the USAF and NASA. The appearance of the alleged entities Hickson and Parker saw may match the description of advanced experimental suits Litton was designing at the time. Was this event a military test of some kind using “UAP abduction” as a cover?
Note: AFOSI counterintelligence officer Richard C. Doty states the 7602nd Air Intelligence Group at Fort Belvoir, VA conducted psychological operations on U.S. citizens who inadvertently saw classified aerospace projects at the installation. Doty states the 7602nd would stage UAP/alien abductions and/or interactions to traumatize civilians near the base who witnessed USG or USG contractor projects. Was the Pascagoula event an early example of a similar “mi-lab” phenomena?
Note: The term “milab” is used by ufologists and popular culture to describe a similar phenomena reported by some witnesses.
Note: Northrop Grumman acquired Litton Industries in 2000, but any UAP work could have spun off from Litton earlier. For example, Litton split some operations off into Western Atlas in 1994. It is unknown if Litton did any work for advanced UAP related projects, where that work would have been housed.

Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. Heitfeld had
set up her mobile home next to a department store warehouse. Around
2:30am she woke up, tormented by a terrible thirst. Her gaze was drawn
to a bright light outside. She pulled back the curtains and saw a row of
lights forming an arc. Each light as big as an open hand. There were 6
of them, spaced 120 cm apart. There was also another light that appeared
in the parking lot, just behind her caravan trailer: a car parked there
was masking the lower part of this light source. It was at this moment
that a creature resembling a monkey appeared in the glow. Terrified,
Mrs. Heitfeld watched all this for 2 to 3 minutes, thinking that the
creature was very close to the car. Her 13-year-old son, who was
sleeping in the mobile home, was awakened by her. When she returned to
the window, she noticed that the creature was about 10 m away from the
car. It was inside a shield of light: it was like a standing monkey,
tall and without a neck. It had a kind of muzzle ending in a point
directed downwards. Its body was uniformly gray. Only the arms moved
jerkily, like a robot. The witness never saw legs or other details in
the rest of the body, which moved as if sliding on the ground. She
called the police and was told "Madam, we have already been to the
place". "But it is still here; this can in no way be a human being!" she
cried. While her mother was on the phone, young Carl saw a car
approaching the one near the caravan and connecting the battery of one
to the hood of the other, and he went back to bed. Shortly afterwards a
dull noise was heard: Carl assumed that the car had left. There was
indeed a car breakdown by Cliff Fulmer of Tina Marie Arrico's car: these
two people noticed nothing special. Mrs. Heitfeld's observation had
ended, without her seeing how the being had left.

Description: 4:00 a.m. A commercial pilot is flying a
Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six near Mount Baldy, Arizona, at an altitude of
2,500 feet. He notices a red flashing light on the ground in a remote
area, and circles around for a closer look. As he does so, the light
begins moving too and reaches a speed about the same as his plane, 170
mph. It is flashing regularly at 2-second intervals. The object is
skimming over the ground, apparently following undulations in the
landscape. He changes course again to intercept the light, which
accelerates instantaneously to 800 mph, moving up and over Mount Baldy,
following its contours. The pilot follows it for a few minutes, about
50–60 miles. After about 5 minutes the light makes a right-angle turn
and accelerates vertically. After 8–10 flashes, it disappears into the
upper atmosphere.

Description: Nancy, age 22, and her boyfriend Jim were
camping at Phantom Lake, Wisconsin with another couple and the couple's
baby. Nancy and Jim had just settled down in the camper for the night
when they were awakened by a bright light shining in through the back
window. Then the camper door suddenly burst open. They saw a bright
saucer-shaped object about to land, descending in a zigzag motion. Once
on the ground the glowing object disgorged a variety of figures, perhaps
twenty. They could see a couple of male figures approaching their camper
slowly. One appeared to be a black man. A second was similar to a swami,
standing on one leg with his other leg wrapped around his head. A
disembodied face appeared in the camper telling them not to be afraid.
About seven of the men stood in a semi-circle, ten feet away form the
van door. One of the seven had dark curly hair and was dressed in blue
jeans and a red plaid shirt, and he held a German shepherd in each hand
by a leash. The group stood there for about ten minutes, staring
silently at the witnesses, who cowered inside the van in great fear. A
man appeared carrying what looked like a scroll. Three more beings,
different from the others and only four feet tall, came out of the
"space ship" and moved about the area very quickly, "just sort of
running around." They seemed to glow a whitish green color. One of these
perched in a tree.
While this strange assemblage was still
present, Jim jumped out of the camper and warned their friends who were
asleep in a nearby tent. They were unable to understand what all the
excitement was about because they were unable to see either the
"spaceship" or any of the beings. Jim hustled them into the camper,
collected all their belongings, found his dog and, with the other couple
driving, they took off. En route back to Milwaukee Nancy and Jim, riding
in the rear of the camper, experienced a variety of strange phenomena,
including a gloved hand apparition and a presence. Both Nancy and Jim
became hysterical. The other couple perceived nothing unusual and
believed their friends had gone crazy. They took them directly to a
hospital emergency entrance upon returnning to Milwaukee.

Description: (Translated from French) Shortly after
midnight, George Willis was awakened by a piercing noise. His room was
bathed in orange light. He could make out three nightmare creatures in
front of him: one to one and a half meters tall, round heads, large
ears, and wrinkled skin of a grayish white. They had jerky, mechanical
movements, like robots. Willis fainted. He remembers that when he woke
up, he was on the floor; the entities grabbed him and propped him up
against the wall. In this vertical position, his body and limbs suddenly
stiffened. Helpless, he saw that the three intruders were examining his
body with a strange little oval object. When the device was pointed
downward towards his leg, his leg bone was visible! Immediately he was
seized with a violent headache and he fainted again. He only came to at
dawn. Fearfully he looked around. The lights were still on. The sheets
were neatly folded.

Description: A man in Omro, Wisconsin was awakened
sometime after midnight by a brief, high-pitched sound. His bedroom was
lit up by a bright, orange-red glow, and he saw three 4-5 foot tall
humanoids materialize. They had baldheads; grayish white wrinkled skin
and rounded ears. They moved mechanically. The witness passed out and
then came to on the floor, propped against the wall, unable to move. The
entities were examining him with an oval object that showed the bones of
his legs when it passed over them. He had a severe headache and passed
out again as a being reached toward him. He awakened toward dawn on the
floor. He found the lights were left on the bedroom, and the bed sheets
folded neatly back.

Description: Late on this night a female witness and
her sister observed a huge light maneuvering over Connersville, Indiana.
The light darted across the sky and began to descend near them. She ran
up to the craft and remembered seeing three large windows. In one window
stood a very short humanoid with protruding eyes and four fingers on
each hand. He wore a tight-fitting outfit with a hood. Other people had
gathered to see the UFO and stood around as if in a trance. The witness
was taken inside and glided around with the short humanoid next to her.
She remembered seeing two other humanoids sitting at a control panel,
and three cubicles as well as beautiful curved walls inside the
craft.

Description: Awakened by the barking of their dogs late
on this night, a farm family living near Berea, Tennessee saw lights
from a UFO in the woods. Mr. James Cline saw a being with a glowing
white head cross the road 50 feet away from him. Claw-like tracks were
found in the dirt road later, as well as "landing marks" two feet long
by 12 feet wide where the UFO had been.

Description: At a press conference in Illinois, USAF
Chief of Staff Gen. George
Scratchley Brown states that sightings of what were presumed to be
enemy helicopters during the Vietnam War took place, always at night,
and prompted shooting by US ground forces. A Combat Air Activities file
of 16 such incidents between 1967 and 1969, especially around Pleiku in
February 1969, documents some of this activity.

Locations: Albany, Ohio; Athens, Ohio
Description: 7:30 p.m. Upon arriving home at Albany,
Ohio, Mary Geddis sees a “ghost-like” figure floating about 50 feet
above the ground at 1,000 feet distance; it is about 4 feet tall and
thin, “like a person draped in a close-fitting sheet.” It is seen only
briefly when she notices a bright white object moving about, and
approaches to within 200 feet before going away. The object is about 20
feet in diameter and about 25–30 feet off the ground. Later, as she is
making supper, she sees a “little blue-green thing” about 2.5 feet tall
and with a face with “spiky things at the tops and the sides of the
head” looking in an open door; it has stumpy arms (she sees no legs) and
quickly disappears from sight. UFO sightings occur around the same time
in nearby Athens, Ohio.

Description: 7:45 p.m. A 50-foot-wide bluish object
hovers 2–3 feet above US Highway 82, seemingly suspended on a beam of
light, near Eupora, Mississippi, 300 feet from a car. The engine and
headlights fail as the object lands. Another object hovers about 60 feet
above the first, illuminating it. A “catfish-like” creature emerges with
flippers for hands, a wide mouth, and feathers on its back. It holds
onto a handrail on the craft and never goes down to the ground. It gets
back in and the object rises into the air. The driver restarts the

Description: Night. William and Donna Hatchett are
driving down a country road near Mannford, Oklahoma, when she sees a
bright light coming from the south. They first think it is a security
light on a pole, but then realize the object is pacing them and
descending. When the Hatchetts stop the truck, the light also stops in
front of them. As the object hovers, it gives off a blinding light and a
penetrating low-pitched hum. They have a feeling that there are
occupants who know everything they are thinking. Donna is so afraid that
she twice leaves the truck cab and goes into the back. William manages
to persuade her to return, and they set off, the object rising up in the
opposite direction.

Description: Midnight. Single mother Pat Roach is
dozing on the couch with her 5-year-old son Kent in an isolated house on
the outskirts of Lehi, Utah. Suddenly, Kent wakes up screaming that he
has seen a “skeleton.” Roach has a vague memory an intruder and a bright
light. Suspecting a prowler, she phones a neighbor, who calls the police
at 12:10 a.m. A few minutes later, officers arrive, talk to Roach, find
nothing amiss, and leave. Roach then checks on her other children. Two
of them, Bonnie and Debbie, tell her they had seen a spaceman who had
come into the house and taken them on a spaceship. Debbie remembers
being told not to tell anyone, as well as seeing a line of people
waiting to go on board. Disturbed, Roach takes her children and spends
the rest of the night at a friend’s house. In 1975, Roach sees an
article by Kevin
Randle on UFO abductions and contacts him. Randle arranges for an
interview and hypnosis sessions with APRO’s research director James A.
Harder. An abduction
tale slowly emerges that involves some elements that are little known in
1975, among them the aliens’ clinical coldness, their curiosity about
human emotion, their interest in gynecology, and human participants in
the physical examination. However, Randle now believes that Roach
underwent sleep paralysis, was influenced by some abduction accounts
over the years, and was led into the narrative by Harder’s leading
questions during hypnosis.

Description: At 2:00 a.m. Gabriella Versacci was
driving on the motorway and had just passed the Langford Budville,
England exit. The highway seemed completely deserted, but she saw the
glare of a single headlight ahead of her that seemed to be stationary.
As she got closer she saw that it was too bright to be a headlight. Her
car suddenly began to lose power. The headlights flickered, dimmed, and
then cut out. Next the engine faltered, sputtered then fell silent.
Panic-stricken Mrs. Versacci pressed her face to the windscreen
struggling to steer the car to a halt in the almost complete darkness.
Thinking she could not stay there alone in the vehicle, she climbed out
the car. She fumbled with the car hood as she lifted it, and as she
stood there feeling helpless she noticed a humming sound, faint at first
that seemed to be growing stronger. She could not see the source of the
hum. As she stood facing the car a heavy hand came down on her shoulder
and pushed her to the ground. She struggled to face her assailant and
saw a tall, dark-colored metallic figure. Gabriella then saw flickering
multi-colored lights and blacked out. When she came to she was standing
in a field. The "robot" like figure was standing next to her, and before
them stood a strange bright object. It was half-moon shaped, rounded on
top and flat on the bottom. It was silver gray in color and rested on
thick legs, of which she saw two but there might have been more. It was
about 20 feet in height and forty feet across, and it had large, oblong
windows in the middle from which yellow lights issued.
Gabriella now realized that the humming sound came from this object. She
then blacked out for a second time. She awoke inside a strange room.It
was circular, and she was strapped to a table in the center. She was
naked but covered with a light blue blanket. Her wrists were bound to
the table by what she described as "large rubber bands." Her spread
eagle legs were restrained in the same manner, with the bands holding
her ankles to the cold surface of the table. The inside of the craft was
freezing. She glanced over to a far wall where the "robot" stood
inactive. To her right was a console covered in buttons and dials. The
floor was covered in what appeared to be black colored rubber matting. A
few moments later, three men that came into view proved her. Two stood
to the left of the table while the third went to the foot of the table
and picked up some boxes or cubes. He placed three of the objects on a
rail, which ran the length of the table, one by her head, one by her
feet and one in the middle. As soon as the cubes were placed on the rail
they began to glow.
The three men were all about the same
height, five feet six inches to five feet eight inches tall. Fair
skinned and slim in build, they wore the same garments. All wore a
skullcap, tied at the back of the head and ending just above the eyes.
Facemasks covered the nose and mouth, so only the eyes and upper face
were visible. No hair was visible, but she could make out the hair bumps
under the caps. The eyes were more rounded than normal human eyes, and
seemed emotionless. All three men wore a tunic with a gray colored
edging, long gloves that went to the elbows and very long aprons that
fell as far as their ankles. Thick-soled boots covered their feet. Every
piece of clothing was light blue in color. Throughout the episode none
of the man spoke or made any other noise. They looked at each other
frequently, and nodded occasionally. Furthermore they did not appear to
breathe, making no respiratory noises. During the examination none of
the three beings touched Gabriella. The man at the bottom of the bed
took a number of gray colored instruments, which he used one by one. A
small knife like implement was used to take a nail paring from her right
hand index finger. A blood sample was taken with a small plastic looking
bottle with tubes and wires attached. Her blanket was removed and a thin
pencil-like device was used to prod and probe her and a large black
rubber suction device was used on the area around the groin. Soon the
examiner placed another blanket over her, which provided badly needed
warmth.
Noticing her frequent glances towards the now inactive
"robot" the examiner now spoke to her in perfect English. The robot was
a trained retriever device. It did all the manual work outside the ship.
It brought specimens for examination and study. It was merely a
non-thinking intelligence that was programmed to do certain tasks. The
examiner spoke in a deep male voice, although Gabriella could not see
his mouth move beneath the mask. His eyes never blinked, not even once.
His movements appeared practiced, deliberate and precise. When he
completed his task, all three men left the room together. After several
minutes Gabriella caught sight of the robot again. A flashing purple
colored light was coming from it. It did not move but remained by the
wall.
Soon one of the men came into view from behind her and
walked to the far end of the table. He lifted the end of the blanket
form the bottom and stared at her body. At this point she felt something
awful was going to happen, and Gabriella struggled with her bonds but
could not free herself. The being took a small pin and placed it on her
thigh. Gabriella stopped struggling immediately. The device caused
numbness in every part of her body apart from her head. The being
climbed slowly on the bottom of the bed and slowly and without emotion
raped her. She felt discomfort but no pain. Soon the three men came into
the room and released her from the table. Gabriella looked down on the
floor to see her clothes before passing out one more time that night.
When she next regained consciousness Gabriella was standing, fully
clothed, next to her car in the deserted country road. Distraught, she
drove home.

11:30 a.m. in Burbank, California another domed disc was seen making a
buzzing sound. Two children, ages 2 and 4, reported a UFO with a pointed
dome and rays emanating from the bottom. It made a buzzing sound. As
many as four occupants were mentioned. They invited the older boy to
look in the object. When the boy's father stepped into the backyard
minutes after the sighting, the family dog was barking furiously. No
other information.

Description: Upon arriving home in Albany, Ohio in the
evening a woman saw a "ghost like" figure floating about 50 feet above
the ground a 1000 feet away. It was about four feet tall and thin, "like
a person draped in a close fitting sheet." It was seen only briefly. She
then noticed a bright white object moving about, approaching to within
200 feet before going away. It was about 20 feet in diameter and 25-30
feet off the ground. Later, she saw a "little blue green thing" look in
an open door. It was about 2.5 feet tall and had stumpy arms, and a face
with "spiky things at the tops and side of the head." It quickly
disappeared from sight. UFO sightings occurred about the same time in
nearby Athens and elsewhere.

that he was confronted by a blue, oblong UFO that landed in front of his
cab on Interstate 90 between Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi. His car
stalled and its lights and radio died. He heard a tapping on the
windshield and saw a crab-like thing with two shiny spots for eyes. The
driver reportedly later confessed to a hoax, but this has never been
confirmed.

Description: A woman was abducted from her home in
Lehi, Utah as well as possibly three of her children and a neighbor boy,
and given a medical examination on board a craft. Carrying a "machine"
of some sort, three beings lifted the woman from a couch and carried her
by the arms. Her next memory was of a big, bright room with lots of
"lights and buttons" and glass tubes containing liquid. She observed
four or five humanoids on the craft and at least two human like beings.
The humanoids did not communicate with her, were coldly efficient, and
made her feel like a guinea pig. They were 40-5 feet tall, with head
coverings, no noses, long fish like mouths, orange hands (gloves?) with
two or three big claws or fingers that opened "like a clasp." They had
large oval eyes that wrapped around the side of the head. The pupils
were big, black, and round and move a lot. Their suits were a
fluorescent 'silvery and blue," in contrast to the three beings that
took her from her home who wore shiny, bright white uniforms. During the
exam she was hooked up to a machine, probed with needles, given a blood
pressure test and a gynecological exam. The beings were able to read her
mind. One of the humans was bald, about 55, and talked with her and
helped during the exam. They gave her a shot to make her forget, and
then carried her out a door to be reunited with her children. The
incident took between 45 minutes to an hour.

Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Clarence Ray
Patterson (...) was only 50 km from his home in Pensacola, it was 10 pm.
Suddenly, in his windshield, a few hundred meters away, he saw an
enormous shining object appear, so big that he did not hesitate to
compare it to a football field. The object stopped above his truck which
was literally sucked into the UFO. In the heart of the craft, six beings
of strange and incredible appearance approached and forced Patterson to
get out of his vehicle. Round, with one eye, hands like crab claws, they
were of small size, their heads barely reaching Patterson's chest. They
busied themselves around the man for more than 30 minutes (...) They
moved around him with a slow, affected air. (...) Finally, they relaxed
him on a road about 80 km from his home. The journey had covered 112 km.
Completely broken, dazed, he drove to Pensacola where he stopped at the
police station. There, he collapsed on a bench, crying hysterically. He
told his adventure to Sergeant Lucien Mitchell. [vog: this author,
decidedly, will have contributed enormously to the description of
monstrous extraterrestrials, he had a very fertile imagination...]

about 100 m in front of him. He stopped, surprised. When small creatures
emerged from the object, he put his hand on the revolver in the glove
compartment and crouched behind the open door, ready to shoot them. The
creatures did not advance, they returned to their craft which quickly
departed while Brown claimed to have fired some shots without hitting
the flying object.

Police Chief Jeffrey Greenhaw responds to a phone call about a UFO on
the outskirts of town. On a gravel road, he sees a
5-and-a-half-foot-tall, silver-suited figure in his headlights. He
stops, gets out, and talks to the figure, all the while taking Polaroid
photos of it. It steps towards him and Greenhaw turns on the red
rotating police car light. The figure runs away and although Greenhaw
pursues it in his car, it eludes him. The photos quickly become a
national news story. NICAP investigator Marion Webb and others strongly
suspect this is a hoax.

Description: There are 113 cases recorded in the UFOCAT
database of UFO reports and close encounters on this day and night.
There was one from Sweden and two from England, and the rest were from
the United States. The common perception was that the UFO wave was
concentrated in the South and the Midwestern States, but there were 10
reports from California including six close encounters. The state with
the most reports was Tennessee, with 16, followed by Ohio, with 15.
Robert Gribble's UFO Reporting Center in Seattle, Washington received
many reports, including a landing report with traces in Uniontown, Ohio
at 7 p.m. and a vehicle interference CE-II report from Midland, Ohio at
8:30 p.m. At 7 p.m. CDT a car was also pursued south of Memphis,
Tennessee by a metallic UFO emitting a beam of light. There were also
aircraft UFO close encounters over Anaheim, California at 2 p.m.;
Shreveport, Louisiana on this evening; and Johnson City, Tennessee at 9

feet above Highway 82 near Eupora, Mississippi at twilight, seemingly
suspended on a "beam of light." The primary witness's car lights and
engine died when it was 100 yards from the craft. Another car stopped
just behind him. A second UFO hovered about 60 feet above the first,
illuminating it with a light. Both craft were similar in appearance,
like inverted cups, and had greenish blue flashing lights. A catfish
like creature came out from the top of the lower UFO, holding onto a
handrail. It had gray, fish-like skin, a wide mouth, one glowing eye,
flipper like feet and webbing between its legs like a "flying squirrel."
It had feather like objects on its back, which opened and closed when it
moved.

Description: Later this same night Police Chief Jeff
Greenhaw of Falkville, Alabama photographed a 5 1/2 foot tall being in a
crinkly looking silvery suit after investigating a reported UFO landing.
The Chief stopped his car in the road and the thing moved slowly like a
robot toward the car. When 10 feet away it turned and began running. The
Chief pursued it in his patrol car, but the being accelerated and
disappeared when the car spun off the road. "He was running in a very
odd manner, from side to side, arms down to his sides, and it looked as
if he had springs under his feet to propel him. He could take 10 feet in
one leap." The photo is regarded by some UFO investigators as a hoax, as
showing a man wrapped in aluminum foil.

was silent. Then the UFO moved away and Coyne realized that his aircraft
had inexplicably risen 700 meters.

Description: 3:30 p.m. A witness in Hamilton, Illinois,
sees a huge gray oval or oblong UFO. A second object appears that
resembles the first but seems to be covered in “cobwebs” on its upper
surface. About 15 minutes later, “cotton-like” material is found that
when handled becomes a “small ball which melted as it was touched.” The
next morning, a collected sample has totally sublimated.

Description: 11:00 p.m. Army Reserve Capt. Lawrence
J. Coyne (with his crew 1st Lt. Arrigo Jezzi, Sgt. John Healey, and
Spec5 Robert Yanacsek) is flying an Army Reserve UH-1 Huey helicopter at
1,200 feet from Columbus to Cleveland, Ohio. Healey notices a steady,
southbound red light. It looks like the port-wing light of an aircraft
but seems brighter and carries none of the other FAA-required lights. He
watches it disappear behind the helicopter and doesn’t tell the others.
A couple minutes later, Yanacsek sees a bright red light on the eastern
horizon and watches it for 90 seconds, realizing it is pacing the
helicopter. He mentions it to Coyne, who tells Healey to watch it. Soon
the light turns and comes towards the helicopter. Coyne takes the
controls from Jezzi and puts the helicopter into a descent. He calls
Mansfield (Ohio) Approach Control but fails to get a response. The red
light is now closing on them at a dangerous rate of speed, possibly 684
mph. Coyne pushes the stick down, forcing the helicopter to descend
quickly. When he gets to an altitude of 650 feet above the treetops,
Coyne looks up and sees the object covering the entire front windshield.
The red light is on its nose and a white light is on the tail of this
cigar-shaped, metallic structure. Under the tail, a green beam sweeps a
90° arc and shines through the windshield. It hovers above them for
10–12 seconds before accelerating and heading northwest. The bright
white light just snaps out. Coyne looks at the altimeter and realizes
they have been ascending and are now at 3,500 feet, but the stick is
still down. He pulls the stick up and the helicopter levels out at 3,800
feet. Reviewing his instruments, Coyne notices that the magnetic compass
is rotating slowly, while the Radio Magnetic Indicator is functioning
normally. They make radio contact with Akron and fly on to Cleveland
without further incident. Other witnesses on the ground have seen the
incident.

Description: 11:30 p.m. A group of people in Wooster,
Ohio, notices a bright, pulsing, triangular object with three colored
lights at each apex, pulsating at different rates. When the object
moves, the red light becomes brighter. It moves right, left, up, and
down for 25 minutes. The UFO then dips down and shoots straight up into
the sky.

a white "thing" 3-4 feet tall on White Oak Mountain near Chatham,
Virginia. The thing had a shimmering body, large head with no eyes, and
ran sideways. A green hazy cloud was seen moving away. Several other
reports of objects were made in the area.

Location: USA, Huntsville
Description: (Translated from French) Driving alone on
the road from Huntsville to Tifton around 3:30 PM, a businesswoman
encountered the unusual. Suddenly the engine and all the car's systems
failed and she felt a strange sensation rising in her. Looking to the
left, "the being" was there, against the door. She dared not look
straight at him and did not want to believe that this apparition was
real. Standing 120 cm tall, it seemed entirely clad in a metal
resembling tin. In place of the head, a dome of the same material the
size of a motorcycle helmet, pierced with two rectangular slits at eye
level. After 5 or 6 minutes, the being moved from left to right, then
back around the car. The walk was normal but the head turned
mechanically. The witness did not see the bottom of the being's body:
she only saw him up to the waist. When the creature had disappeared, as
she saw no one around, she decided to open the hood to attract the
attention of passing motorists: when she lifted the hood, smoke came out
even though there was no fire. An hour and a half later, a police car
finally stopped near her. When the tow truck came, the hood was almost
at the point of fusion, the metal was soft but the paint was not
affected. It took 3 hours before they could touch the heated
engine.

Description: (Translated from French) G.D. and his
friend ride a motorcycle to the place called Le Malmont north of
Draguignan (Var). When they reach the top, they see an orange light in
the sky moving slowly. The young girl gets scared and the couple goes
back down to the city. The young man meets a friend who is interested in
the UFO phenomenon. He talks to him about it and a small group of 4
enthusiasts go to the place in two cars. When they reach the top, they
see a white light in the vegetation 100 m away and then the orientation
table starts to overheat. The sound of broken branches attracts them and
they see a red light approaching. It comes from a large reddish
silhouette going down the path. A modulated whistle is heard. One of the
cars is then violently shaken. Panic ensues. Everyone rushes into the
vehicles and starts the engines, they then see 3 large helmeted
silhouettes before going down the path at full speed. They will see red
legs crossing the road before reaching the city below. (October 19,
1973, 8:40 PM)

front yard. Apparently the craft just materialized on the ground and did
not fly in. He told the department a creature got out that had silvery
skin, crab-like claws, antennas, and looked into his living room window
with "scary eyes." The sheriff's department quotes him as saying the
creature got back into the saucer-shaped object and flew off. It notes
that during the same time there were other reports.

Description: On this evening in Draguignan, France four
youths in two cars drove up a small mountain called Le Malmont to
investigate the sighting of an orangish yellow UFO seen earlier in the
day by a friend and his girlfriend. No UFO was seen, but a being was
seen approaching the group silhouetted by a diffuse white glow. Later
two of the witnesses saw three entities chasing their car. The entities
were wearing one-piece suits with red lights at the waist level. They
wore square helmets with luminous, rectangular eye slots. One of the
beings wore something resembling a gas mask with a veil covering the
face. Their gait was slow and mechanical. Meanwhile, the two witnesses
in the other car twice saw two sets of "red legs" cross the road. A
short while later their car was swung sideways across the road and then
back again by some unseen force. Other effects included EM interference
with the engines of both cars, a sensation of heat, an odor like burnt
insulating tape, and one of the cars was shaken while parked. The beings
made modulated whistling sounds. A powerful white light beam was also
seen. No physical traces were found at any of the sites.

ahead he saw a landed, round UFO, 40-45 feet in diameter, with white and
blue lights around it. From the object's illumination he could see a
ladder and two beings standing beside it. They were human like, about
six feet tall. When they saw the farmer and his dogs they got into the
UFO, which rose slowly with a low humming noise and then took off at
high speed.

Description: A woman was alone traveling by car in Iowa
when she noticed a bright light over the next approaching hill. She
dimmed her lights and when she crested the hill she noticed a landed
disc-shaped object in a nearby cornfield. She slowed her vehicle and saw
that the UFO had a slight dome on top and was glowing with a blue light.
She called her husband on her CB radio and described the object but soon
static made it impossible to communicate by radio. She stopped the
vehicle and the next thing she remembered was watching the object take
off at high speed. Later under hypnosis the witness remembered seeing
five figures standing around her car looking at her. They were about
five feet tall with pasty white faces and huge elongated eyes. They had
two holes for a nose and slit like mouths. Moments later she found
herself inside the object where she saw walls, lots of machinery, and
also a very bright light. She next found herself in a room with several
monitor-like screens and two humanoids standing near her. These
creatures seemed to have claw-like hands. One of the beings was
described as more human looking, a female with long hair, a skirt, and a
band around her head. The male beings wore one-piece silver metallic
jump suits, with gloves, boots, and belts across the chest area. She
remembers lying on a table and being forced to remove her clothing.
After a physical examination she is led outside by two of the beings and
floated to her vehicle.

Description: 6:50 a.m. A conductor on a Louisville
& Nashville Railroad train moving northeast out of Mount Vernon,
Indiana, sees a bright white light coming out of the north and heading
east. When they reach Caborn, Indiana, he notifies the rear conductors,
who can now see a bright light (possibly another train) behind them. The
train’s automatic blocking system is showing a red light, indicating
there is a train to the rear. When the train reaches Belknap, the engine
stops because a rear diesel unit has apparently overheated. The
yardmaster in Evansville informs them that there never was any train
behind them. The conductor hits a reset button and the train starts with
no trouble. The light in the rear seems to be moving away, and the
blocking system turns to an amber signal.

Description: In the evening Mr. Mars Walker, a student
at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia observed a vague, purple
shape about 50 yards from the house. A humanoid being with tentacle-like
protrusions about the head came from it . He had hands with three or
four fingers. It wore a belt that had several odd objects hanging from
it, and appeared to be taking readings with them. The being completely
ignored the witness for the 30 minute period that the encounter lasted.
It was bathed in a green light from the UFO. Eventually it was "taken
back into the vessel."

Description: The witness, a young women college
student, had left college for home and was then reported missing, her
car having been found abandoned in Indiana with the hood up by the side
of the road. She turned up four days later at a police station, and
reported that she had been driving along a deserted highway when her
vehicle's engine sputtered and died at around ten p.m. She stepped out
to check on it and was suddenly grabbed from behind by three creatures.
She described them as wearing white face masks, or having white faces
like molded plastic masks. Their eyes were large and set close to the
sides of the head, and they had three-fingered, claw-like hands. They
all wore metallic blue coveralls with a white stripe down the side. She
was floated onboard a domed, disc- shaped object that was sitting on a
nearby field. She was forced into a room, stripped, and then strapped to
a table. Then she was given an extensive medical exam in which several
needles were inserted into her body. She was left briefly alone in the
brightly lit room, and then strapped to a chair. There several
electrode-like devices were attached to her body and the creatures
interrogated her at length. She was later given water and some food,
which she did not eat, and released on a lonely stretch of road.

descend and emit a loud grinding noise. On each end of the object there
was a bright red square, while the object's central section appeared
transparent. She saw two dark figures inside the UFO. The object
descended very close to the ground, emitting a loud sound, and then then
shot upwards while increasing in luminescence.

Date: 10/20/1973
Description: Late at night nine campers, a group of
students led by three adults, had gone to El Yunque Mountain Park in
Puerto Rico hoping to "contact" UFOs and their occupants. They made camp
high up on a mountain trail. Mr. Heriberto Ramos, the group's leader,
said that at one point during their ascent they met three persons
heading down the trail. There was nothing "alien" about the trio aside
from the fact that they all dressed exactly alike and had similar
features. One of the group members, who had stayed behind, took a photo
of the three mysterious walkers, but only a patch of mist appeared on
the developed film.
Later that night the campers found
themselves surrounded by five or six vaguely humanoid figures who darted
about the thick vegetation. They had claw-like hands and elongated ears.
Some of these "monsters" blocked the precipice flanked trail that
constituted the only way down from the mountain. Mr. Ramos tried walking
cautiously toward pne being, hoping to show that his intentions were
amicable. He got to within ten feet from the creature, and was able to
describe it as having a triangular head and "extraordinary" eyes. He
even he managed to touch the strange being, which did not stir. Its skin
felt neither cold nor rubbery. Almost simultaneously, one of his
students lit a large, powerful flashlight flooding the area with light.
The clawed creature reacted by racing away from the scene, literally
tearing a path right through the dense vegetation.
The path
led to a 100 foot drop, giving Ramos the impression that they had
frightened the being into jumping. But to his amazement it reappeared
instantly at the side of its companions, who were still blocking the
downhill path. From then until the sky began to lighten the besieged
campers were watched by the beings, who remained in constant motion
around them. Terror had led one of the students to bang himself
repeatedly on the head with a flashlight, hoping to escape the situation
by passing out. Seized by an inexplicable urge, another camper expressed
a desire to take a walk in the woods. Fearing for his mental state, one
of his companions offered to walk with him. Before they'd taken more
than a dozen steps, they found what could only be described as a
glimmering, polychromatic "egg" lying on the ground. While entranced by
the curious flashing object, neither one felt brave enough to touch
it.
Later that night they saw it in the claws of one of the
alien creatures. At sunrise the campers made a mad dash for their cars
that were parked at the bottom of the mountain. No trace of the aliens
remained aside from their footprints, which were much larger than a
human's and appeared to have been made by heavy creatures. The campers
made plaster casts of the prints and photographed them. These materials
were stolen by unknown parties some months after the incident.

Description: 2:30 a.m. Reafa
Heitfeld wakes up in her trailer on the west side of Cincinnati,
Ohio, and notices a bright light shining outside. The source is a row of
six lights forming an arc outside her window, as well as another bright
light over the parking lot. Outside the second light she can see a gray
“apelike creature” that seems to be fixing something. In the process of
calling the police, she hears a loud, deep, booming sound, and the
object and creature are gone. Investigator Leonard
Stringfield finds that a fire alarm had gone off at the same time in
a nearby warehouse only 150 feet away, although firemen can locate
nothing that set it off.

Description: At 2:30 a.m. Mrs. Heitfeld, a resident of
the Cincinnati suburb of Covedale, Ohio awoke with a terrible thirst. A
bright light outside her house then attracted her. She drew the curtains
and saw a line of lights forming an arc. Each light was as large as an
open hand. There were six of them, separated from one another by 120 cm.
She also observed another light hovering above a nearby parking lot.
Inside this light she observed a gray "ape like" creature. She woke her
13-year-old son who also saw the creature. The being was completely
surrounded by a bell-jar shaped area of light. No facial features could
be discerned, but the witness could see a snout like feature on the
face. Its body was uniformly gray, and it was moving its arms in the
sort of jerky way a robot would. Ground traces from the UFO were later
found.

Date: 10/22/1973
Location: USA, Hartford City (Indiana)
Description: (Translated from French) Gary Flatter had
just accompanied his friend, police officer Ed Townsend, to Hartford
City where a motorist had reported the presence of two strange creatures
on the highway. When Flatter and Townsend arrived, they saw nothing out
of the ordinary. Ed Townsend then left for other duties while Gary
Flatter decided to stay a bit longer. Suddenly, a whole menagerie rushed
past his stopped vehicle: he counted 7 hares, a raccoon, an opossum, and
several cats. At the same time, he heard a kind of sharp whistle.
Looking more closely, Flatter saw two creatures staring at him, dressed
in silver suits, on the opposite side of the road. They measured about 1
m 20, had an egg-shaped head covered by something like a gas mask.
Flatter turned on the headlights. Far from being bothered by the light,
the creatures began to put on a kind of show: they jumped to a
remarkable height, and to come down they floated, and so on. Finally,
they flew away leaving a kind of faint red trail.

Description: June Margolin sees a shiny globe dropping
web-like substance in large amounts over Sudbury, Massachusetts. It
drapes over trees and telephone lines. She collects a sample and puts it
in the refrigerator, but the substance still dissipates into strong
white threads. The University of Massachusetts field station examines a
sample. It is not spider web, but there is not enough of it for a
chemical analysis. X-ray fluorescence and diffraction analysis indicates
sodium, aluminum, silicon, sulfur, chorine, potassium, calcium, iron,
nickel. The substance is 95% organic. Two other analyses indicate
slightly different composition.

Description: 6:50 p.m. A man is farming in Upton,
Indiana, when he notices an object that looks like it is going to land.
He and his daughter walk toward the other side of the field to
investigate. They can see an object with red, white, and green lights
near the railroad tracks. As a train passes through, the object dims and
hovers near it for one minute, then takes off to the southeast. An
object is seen flying above a train at Maunie, Illinois, the same
evening.

Locations: Hartford City, Indiana; south of the
original encounter
Description: 9:45 p.m.–after midnight. Dewayne and
Debbie Donathan are driving toward their home 9 miles east of Hartford
City, Indiana, when they see two strange-looking figures 30 feet ahead
of them on the road. Four feet tall, they are dressed in tight-fitting
silver suits and wear boxlike shoes. They move in a clumsy fashion,
their arms flopping oddly along their sides. Debbie accelerates and
drives past the figures. The witnesses alert the sheriff’s office, and
two officers and a civilian friend, Gary
Flatter, investigate.
They see no figures but hear an odd, high-frequency sound. Around
midnight, Flatter hears the sound again south of the original encounter
and notes wild animals leaving the area. His headlights pick up two
4-foot figures 20 feet off the side of the road. He can see a hose going
from their egg-shaped helmets down to their chests. Three times they
rise 3 feet into the air then float down. The fourth time, they fly
away, still standing erectly.

Description: The first in a series of three independent
observations of two silver-suited, four foot tall humanoids occurred in
Hartford City, Indiana on this night. While driving home Ms. Debbie
Carne saw the creatures slowly cross the road in front of her. As she
drove past them on the roadside they made a loud noise and raised their
arms as if to scare her. About 15 minutes after the first encounter by
Ms. Carne, Mr. & Mrs. Donathan approached the same area in a car and
saw the same or a similar pair of beings on the road. They were
described as wearing bright silver suits, straight in form and with no
features noticed except box-like feet. The pair moved in a clumsy,
flopping manner as they tried to get off the road ahead of the
approaching car. Mr. Donathan described this as a dancing effect. A
snake-like pattern of lights was seen dancing over the field. The next
day imprints were found in the field where the beings had last been
seen.

About 20 minutes later, she notices monarch butterflies are getting
entangled in “sheets of a web-like substance” falling to earth. She
retrieves a grapefruit-sized sample from a mesquite tree and stores it
in a box. Some 20 years later, the sample is analyzed by two engineering
students at the University of Texas at Austin. A neutron activation
survey indicates high concentrations of sodium, potassium, zinc, and
lanthanum. Other tests indicate the sample is spider silk produced by a
cribellate orb weaver spider.

bright to be merely the reflection of her car's headlights. The UFO was
about 30 feet long and resembled an airplane's fuselage without wings,
with an "open cockpit" at one end. Inside she was able to see three
"hooded figures." She hurried into her house and when she looked out

Description: (Translated from French) … American
witnesses saw two giant (2.50m) humanoid creatures come out of a flying
saucer and immediately start walking on all fours. They had gray fur and
green eyes, shining in the darkness. (Jean FERGUSON: "Les Humanoïdes…"
ed. Leméac, Ottawa, 1977, p 127 and p.187, 188, the only author who
dates it to October 27) … The trio walked up the hill; the object was
landed. It was bright white, could have been 30 meters in diameter and
made a lawnmower noise. In the light of the craft, they saw two tall
beings, like monkeys, with shining eyes. They emitted shrill sounds and
an odor of "burnt rubber" filled the air. One of the young men was
scared and ran away. The man with the rifle fired several shots above
the heads of the creatures, without stopping them. Then he fired three
shots, this time at one of them. A moan rose up, then the one who had
been hit raised his arm and both of them disappeared into the woods. The
UFO disappeared. (Leonard STRINGFIELD: "Alerte générale OVNI", ed.
France – Empire, 1978, p. 91 to 93 which dates it to October 25) Around
9 pm, the young farmer Stephen Pulaski, according to the report
published in the Flying Saucer Review, and at least 15 other witnesses
saw a red glowing ball hovering over a nearby field. Stephen took his
30.06 rifle, and with two boys about ten years old each, sons of
neighbors, drove to the thing to see what it was. The headlights of
Stephen's car dimmed when they arrived near the object, and when the
object descended to the ground, Stephen's German shepherd, left at the
farm, became like crazy.

Description: 7:15 p.m. Lt. Commander Moyer is traveling
south from Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt, a restricted US
National Security Agency station along Murat Road on North West Cape,
north of Exmouth, Western Australia, when he sees a large, black object
in the sky 5 miles to his west at an altitude of 2,000 feet. After about
20–25 seconds, the object accelerates at speed to the north. It is first
seen at about 20° elevation, to the west. Moore estimates its angular
size as half a degree. It is initially stationary and there is no
associated noise at any point, no trail or exhaust. It is last seen at
45°–50° elevation. At about 7:20 p.m., William Gordon Lynn, an
Australian civilian and US Navy employee fire captain, notices a large,
stationary, black object in the clear sky. It has a halo around the
center, which appears to be either revolving or pulsating. He watches it
for an estimated four minutes, after which it takes off speedily in a
northerly direction and disappears after a few seconds. He thinks it is
about 30 feet in diameter and hovering at 1,000 feet over the hills west
of the base. On this same date, the base is communicating a DEFCON III
alert to conventional and nuclear forces in the region during the Yom
Kippur War (an NSA misreading of a Syrian message to the USSR had
indicated a Soviet build-up).

Description: 9:00 p.m. A 22-year-old man and two
10-year-old boys allegedly see a bright-white, dome-shaped UFO about 100
feet in diameter land in a field near Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
“Screaming sounds” emanate from somewhere nearby. The UFO makes a
lawnmower-like sound. Suddenly they see two large apelike creatures with
glowing green eyes walking along a fence, one in front of the other. The
older witness fires a tracer slug with his rifle over the creatures’
heads, but they continue moving forward, seemingly communicating by
making whining sounds. The tall and closer of the two, about 8 feet
tall, is running its left hand along the fence, while the smaller one is
struggling to keep up. The older witness fires three bullets into the
larger creature’s chest. It whines and reaches toward the smaller
creature. The UFO vanishes and the lawnmower sound ceases. The area
where the UFO had been is now glowing brilliant white. The hairy
creatures head toward the woods. A policeman arrives at 9:45 p.m. and
finds the landing spot still glowing slightly. They hear something
moving in the woods nearby and smell a sulfur-like odor. The officer and
the witness panic and jump into the police car and drive about 150 feet.
Stan
Gordon shows up at 1:30 a.m. with four members of his Westmoreland
County UFO Study Group. In the company of the witness and his father,
they walk around the field until the witness undergoes a violent
emotional attack, during which he growls like an animal and throws his
father and an investigator to the ground. During his attack, he has an
apocalyptic vision in which he receives a dire warning from a man in a
black hat and cloak. The older witness undergoes hypnosis with
psychologist Berthold
Eric Schwarz, who says he has visions about the impending end of the
world and after the event he “felt like an animal.”

Description: At around nine p.m. 15 people observed a
very large red spherical object hovering low in the sky near Uniontown,
Pennsylvania which began to descend towards a pasture. The incident
began when the principal witness and two boys proceeded up a hill in a
field and observed a white, dome-shaped craft on the ground that
illuminated the area. It was making a loud whirring sound. It was
estimated to be about 100 feet in diameter. They stood about 250 feet
from the object, and about 75 feet from a fence line.
Walking
along the fence line were two tall figures, from seven to nine feet
tall, covered with hair, and with long arms hanging down past the knees.
They displayed glowing green eyes. The witnesses shot at the creatures,
first tracer bullets were shot over their heads, and then regular
bullets was used. The larger of the two creatures turned towards the
other almost touching it, and at the same time the object in the field
disappeared and the sound stopped. The creatures slowly walked towards
the woods. One boy had already run home, and the other two left the
field and went to a neighbor's farmhouse and called the state police.
When the state trooper arrived he and the main witness went to the site.
Where the object had landed there was a glowing area that was about 150
feet in diameter. He said he could read a newspaper from the light. The
farm animals refused to go into the area. One witness reported that
before they left the field the larger of the two creatures was seen in
the woods about 10 feet from them. He shot at it and it struck the fence
that stood between them. Later that night an investigation team arrived
in the area. Radiation levels were normal and the glow was now gone, but
the animals still wouldn't go near the spot. Strange events now began to
take place.
Some in the party saw a farmhouse several hundred
feet away suddenly light up like daylight for several seconds. The main
witness, a rather large man, suddenly began growling, and he threw his
father and investigator George Lutz to the ground. The man ran into the
field growling and screaming near inhuman screams. His own dog
approached him as to attack, then ran off whimpering. He then collapsed
onto the ground. Two of the investigating team started to complain they
were having trouble breathing, and the air became filled with a strong
odor like rotten eggs. As the main witness came out of what appeared to
be a trance-like state, he began talking about visions he had seen of
the end of the world.

Description: On this night Brian Scott saw an object
with blinking lights on the bottom surrounded by haze. He drove to his
home in Buena Park, California to get someone else to see it and
returned with the teenage babysitter of his children. Both witnesses
felt as if their minds had somehow been lifted up to the craft, bathed
in green light, and returned. Scott saw short humanoids, but felt that
this vague encounter was unplanned, and with different humanoids than in
his earlier experiences. A period of an hour and a half could not be
accounted for.

Description: (Translated from French) Very early in the
morning, the truck driven by Dionisio Llanca had a flat tire. He
therefore stopped outside the road, in a secluded place and began to
busy himself to change the wheel. He had seen small lights in the
distance, but had not paid attention to them until they approached and
were of a bright blue. Trying to see what the object carrying this
strange light was, he found himself paralyzed and could not move. He
could however see how a dome-shaped disc descended, hovering just above
the ground, next to the truck.
On the ground, near the
vehicle, there were three humanoid entities: two men and one woman. They
had long blond hair and almond-shaped eyes, wore silver one-piece suits,
boots, but their head was free of helmets, they were not armed. The
entities spoke among themselves, then one of them lifted Llanca by the
collar of his sweater. Llanca was in the utmost terror, but the man
adjusted a small black box around the index finger of his left hand and
instantly Llanca became relaxed. In a few moments he lost consciousness.
He woke up the next day, lying on the road. He told his story. Despite
the use of hypnotherapy and truth serum, Llanco could not even remember
a shred of what had happened to him after he lost consciousness. He
could only say that the extraterrestrials had made contact with the
earth in 1950 and were studying how the earthly man could live on this
planet. He could describe the interior of the spacecraft, saying that
one did not enter it either by a ramp or by stairs, but by a beam of
light. He also said that the entities did not want him to remember
anything else. (DON ELKINS with CARLA RUECKERT, CASE NUMBER 7,
Investigator: Liria D. Jauregui, APRO Investigator) They spoke among
themselves in a kind of language without vowels. The sound emitted made
me think of a badly tuned radio. One of these beings took me by the
collar of the jacket and forced me to stand up. I wanted to speak but I
had no voice. The other placed a device on the index finger of my left
hand, they applied it to me for a few seconds, I felt nothing. When
removing it I saw two drops of blood on my finger. It was at this moment
that I must have fainted, I do not remember the rest .." (1973, 28

Description: 1:15 a.m. Truck driver Dionisio Llanca is
changing a tire along Highway 3 some 11 miles from Bahía Blanca,
Argentina, when a UFO lands and three humanlike beings, two men and a
woman, approach him. Nearly paralyzed by the light from the UFO, Llanca
lets one of the beings take a blood sample and later remembers going on
board the craft, whose occupants warn him that humans are headed towards
disaster. He loses consciousness and wakes up in a railyard 5.5 miles
away, then finds himself in a hospital. However, Argentine UFO
investigators find major discrepancies and consider Llanca’s story an
invention devised to make some money.

Description: 11:30 p.m. Karl Fichtinger watches an odd
orange-yellow light to the south of Bad Traunstein, Austria, that
projects two beams of light that creep slowly upward like a pair of
snail feelers. After moving up a short distance, they begin curving
outward. After 7–10 seconds when they reach a certain height they stop
moving, the two tips turn green for 2–3 seconds, a green mist falls down
sideways, and the beams disappear. After 2–5 seconds the process repeats
again and again. Around 12:30 a.m. he wakes his friend Johann Pritz in
another house and they continue to watch the display for several hours.
At 2:00 a.m. the light emits a red “missile” that moves east, stops,
turns yellow-orange, and produces a similar pattern of signals. Then
they notice a third object in the west that looks more like a dark domed
disc, and it is also sending thin feelers up light upward. Three more
smaller lights join the one in the east. At 3:30 a.m., the missile in
the east stops and takes off to the south but the others remain. The
witnesses go home at 4:30, and all the objects are gone by 6:00 a.m.
They estimate that the first object has given off 1,200 signals, the
domed disc some 550, and the missile a minimum of 360.

Description: Dionisio Llanca, age 25, was changing a
tire along a deserted road at 1:15 a.m. near Bahia Blanca, Buenos Aires
Province, Argentina when he became aware of a yellow and blue light
behind him, and three human-like beings. He then began to feel weak and
barely able to move. One of the beings approached and pulled him to his
feet, and a second one drew a blood sample from his finger with a device
that looked like an electric shaver. Afterward, the witness lost
consciousness and suffered trauma to his head and forehead. Under
hypnosis and sodium pentothal Llanca recalled being transported onto a
hovering, plate-shaped craft via a beam of light. He saw a room with a
window and various instruments, including a screen showing a display of
the stars. His abductors were two men and two women, between 5 ft. 6 in.
and 5 ft. 8 in. (about 1.7m) tall. They had blond hair, wide foreheads,
and elongated eyes. They were dressed in gray, tight-fighting uniforms,
yellow footwear, and gloves. The beings spoke among themselves in a
"squeaky" language, resembling the sound of buzzing bees. A technical
device communicated with him in Spanish, or by telepathy, to reassure
him and tell him that they had been coming to Earth since 1950. They
told him he was chosen for contact because he was simple and good. They
warned that the current course of mankind would lead to catastrophe.
Later, they said, they would come back and take him with them. Llanca
regained consciousness between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., some 10 km (6 miles)
from where his truck was. He wandered around with no memory of his own
identity until a passerby took him to a hospital, where he remained for
several days.
Llanca had nightmares and severe anxiety for a
prolonged period, followed by personality change. He changed jobs
frequently and finally stopping working altogether, became engaged to be
married and then cut off all contact with his fiancee. His parents
rejected him, and he subsequently was sentenced to prison for swindling.
Afterwards, there were rumors that he had fabricated the story to sell a
book, and that the doctors were a party to the hoax (which seems highly
unlikely).

Description: In the early morning hours Ms. Proctor
went to the window in her home in Reno, Nevada and saw three "very
large," saucer-shaped objects hovering across the street. A "ground
crew" of 10-12 figures, wearing dully glowing "cube type" uniforms, were
milling around, as if searching for something. A very low-pitched hum
was heard, but no barking by the witness's dog, or others in the
neighborhood. When two of the men approached her driveway, the witness
took alarm and returned to bed, where she fell asleep immediately. There
was no confirmation of anything unusual from any of her neighbors, and
no traces were found.

Description: At 5:20 p.m. Carlos Argue Balvidares, age
43, the manager of a country estate located 25 kilometers northeast of
General Pinto, in Buenos Aires province, Argentina was drinking tea when
his 13-year-old son Manuel called his attention to the presence of three
people floating in the air over the surface of a pond 100 yards away.
Balvidares went to the pond and called out to them. They "disappeared
immediately, only to return to show themselves at the opposite shore of
the pond, 300 yards away."
(Continued.) There were two men and
a woman. The woman was about 5' 3" tall and had long black hair, black
clothing, and white boots. The two men were both of the same height and
somewhat shorter. The men appeared to be naked and of a "sunburned"
color; they may have been wearing tight fitting one-piece suits. They
were blond, and their hair appeared "glued on." All three had white
complexions, wide foreheads, and small noses. They floated about with
their arms held close to their bodies.
(Continued) On the far
side of the pond rested a luminous rectangular object approximately 35
feet in diameter and 7-10 feet high. It emitted a beam of light 15
inches in diameter that struck Balvidares. He felt dazzled and he could
feel heat from it. Balvidares took his horse and rode to the pond, but
when he had got halfway there he encountered an "invisible barrier" and
could not proceed. Meanwhile the beings continued to maneuver over the
surface of the pond, communicating by "a kind of shriek, like the sound
made by a radio which is poorly tuned."
After an hour and a
half Balvidares again mounted his horse to ride around the pond, but
this time the beings returned to the UFO. The images of the men changed
in color to dark green and orange" as they approached the craft. Then
the witness smelled "an odor of sulphur" and became drowsy for a few
moments. When he recovered the UFO and its entities had gone. On later
investigation many triangular footprints four to five inches long,
showing four claw marks at the front of the triangle, were found in the
vicinity of the UFO's resting place. The object itself left four
triangular impressions 15 inches on a side, arranged in a square 13 feet
on a side. The horse "exhibited nervousness" after the event, and its
hair began to fall out.

Locations: Manchester, New Hampshire; Goffstown;
Westlawn Cemetery; Beaudoin's house
Description: 2:45 a.m. Lyndia Morel, a masseuse in
Manchester, New Hampshire, leaves work and begins driving on State
Highway 114 to her home in nearby Goffstown. On the outskirts of
Manchester, she sees an odd light in the sky that is flashing different
colors. The light vanishes when she reaches Goffstown, but it reappears
twice more, seemingly brighter and closer. She sees that it is an
orange-and-gold globe covered with hexagons like a honeycomb, with an
oval window on the upper left. The red, green, and blue flashes come
from somewhere near the center of the object, and she hears a
high-pitched sound. Suddenly she is unable to remove her hands from the
steering wheel. She feels that the object is taking control of her and
the car and pulling them in. Her car speeds up against her will as she
passes Westlawn Cemetery. The object is now only a few hundred feet
away, and through a window she sees a smallish humanoid figure standing
behind a console. The figure has a round, grayish head, a wrinkled face,
a downturned slit of a mouth, and two large eyes with dark pupils. She
feels that he is sending her a telepathic message to be unafraid.
Somehow, she slows the car and turns into the driveway of a house just
past the cemetery. She jumps out and runs to the kitchen door of the
house, ignoring a German shepherd dog that growls and barks at her. She
pounds on the door and rings the bell and yells for help as the UFO
moves to a position across the street, hovering and watching her, still
emitting a high-pitched sound. The residents, Mr. and Mrs. Beaudoin,
come to the door and find a terrified woman who is covering her ears and
claiming that a UFO is after her. The Beaudoins cannot see or hear
anything, but Mrs. Beaudoin calls the police. Investigator Walter N.
Webb finds that the position of the UFO corresponds too closely to
the planet Mars, at least in the later stage of the sighting, to rule
that explanation out entirely.

Description: (Translated from French) In New Hampshire,
the witness's neighbor calls him to look through his telescope at a
silver, saucer-shaped craft with 4 glowing red windows at one end, which
he thinks is hovering over a radio tower 1 mile away. The witness
eventually goes back home and goes to bed. Shortly after 0 h, the
witness's dog seems agitated and he gets up to let it out. Going into
the kitchen, he distinguishes 1 light coming from outside. He looks out
the door and sees that the light is a diffuse glow coming from 2
silver-clad creatures with large pointed ears, big noses, and dark
egg-shaped eyes that look like holes. Their boots are heel-less, with
the ends curved up. They are picking things up from the ground and
gathering them in a bag. The witness goes to his room to alert his wife,
who doesn't want anything to do with it, takes a 0.38 caliber automatic
pistol and returns to the kitchen, inserting more cartridges. On his
master's order, the raging German shepherd jumps into attack.
Approaching the intruders, he stops in his tracks and returns whimpering
into the house. The humanoids continue their collection. At this moment
the witness trembles and can no longer hold his weapon, let alone use it
effectively, but he shouts that he will shoot if the beings come any
closer. At the same time, the man was telling his wife what was
happening. She didn't want to answer until she heard that the creatures
were leaving. She then reached the kitchen, only seeing their glow
disappear into the woods. At 0 h 30, the police called arrive. No trace
is found on the hard ground, covered with pine cones. (7:30 PM)

Description: Sr. Rincon Castillo received telepathic
messages to go to a certain isolated area near a lagoon, 150 kilometers
south of Santa Fe de Bogota, Colombia; at 8:00 p.m. After arriving there
he was then instructed to go to a clearing in the woods. There he was
told he would find a metallic sphere, which he did. The sphere was small
and covered with tiny holes. It suddenly started shooting bright beams
of light in different directions. The whole area was next illuminated by
a bright glow, and two huge, saucer-shaped objects appeared and flew
directly overhead. Both were dripping water and were emitting a strong
heat wave. They were silent and had three rotating white spheres on the
bottom, and were emitting multicolored lights. The objects then
descended out of sight and dimmed their lights. After that, two tall
humanoid figures wearing uniforms and helmets with transparent visors
approached Castillo from the woods and told him not to be afraid. The
two figures took him to a nearby clearing, where a flying craft now
appeared overhead, shooting down a beam of yellow light that surrounded
both the witness and the humanoids. He was then transported inside the
object where he saw two more tall, smiling entities. The beings removed
their helmets; they had handsome human features, and shoulder length,
blond hair. Some of the men wore tight fitting silvery outfits with
orange boots and gloves, while others wore brown outfits. The witness
was given information about upcoming Earth changing events, and was
given an extensive tour onboard the craft.

Description: (Translated from French) Rex Snow ordered
his dog to attack the two silver-clad figures frolicking in his well-lit
garden. The dog, a trained attack German shepherd, leapt forward towards
the intruders. But when it got to within 10 meters of them, the
creatures stopped their gamboling and stared fixedly at the dog. The
animal stopped, growled, and with its tail between its legs, returned to
the safety of the house. Snow had a .38 caliber pistol in his hands, but
he was trembling so much he couldn't use it against the strangers.
Overcome with a visceral fear, he followed the dog back inside. He
watched the creatures through the window: they seemed to be faintly
luminous, had oversized ears, sunken dark orbits for eyes, and a very
pointed nose. On their heads they wore a Ku Klux Klan-style hat, silver
like their costume. (November 4, 1973)

Description: (Translated from French) Four fishermen,
joined by coast guards, discovered a strange object underwater. (...) In
the dark waters, the men were preparing to cast their nets. Suddenly
Raymond heard his brother Rayme calling him: he was signaling him to
come and see. Near Rayme's boat, in less than four meters of water, all
four saw a bright light in the water. (...) for a moment the Ryan
(Raymond and Rayme) played cat and mouse with the device (...) "It was
big, maybe more than 30 meters in diameter, it was round and metallic".
"It was like the top of a parachute, with ribs coming from a dark bump
in the center". (...) etc.. (Leonard STRINGFIELD: "General Alert UFO",
ed. France-Empire, 1978, pp. 150-154) In the night three witnesses saw
an object submerged southwest of Pascagoula. (M. FIGUET/ J.L. RUCHON:
"UFO, First Complete Dossier..." - ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 426) It
was a small object 1 m long and 15 to 20 cm wide, shining like steel,
playing cat and mouse with the coast guard at the mouth of the
Pascagoula River (November 6, 1973)

Description: 9:00 p.m. Off-duty patrolmen Gary
Steinberg and Thomas Brown are sitting in an unmarked patrol car in
Freeport, New York, facing east. They see a bright light in the sky that
is not the helicopter they think it is at first. They watch it for 5–10
minutes before it moves away to the southeast. Steinberg tries to get
closer in the patrol car, while Brown stays behind and directs him by
radio. He gets to within 300–400 feet of it, as it is 700–800 feet in
altitude. It now appears football-shaped and 100 feet long. He watches
it for 10–15 minutes as it glows silvery blue with an occasional
yellow-red pulsating tint. The object then moves off to the southwest,
stopping occasionally. A smaller object comes up on his right and drifts
up to the larger object and merges with it. The larger object dims in
sections (about 16), one after the other, and it takes off to the
southwest and disappears in a couple seconds.

Description: 9:45 p.m. A USAF security policeman at the
eastern portion of Kirtland AFB near Albuquerque, New Mexico, sees a
large, glowing object hovering 100 feet above the Manzano Nuclear
Weapons Storage Facility. It is an oblate spheroid, 150 feet in
diameter, gold in color, and absolutely silent. Nine other air policemen
are alerted, and four F-101 Voodoo Air National Guard interceptors are
scrambled from Kirtland. The UFO begins moving east and passes out of
sight at treetop level in the Manzano Mountains.

in the Gulf States and throughout the eastern United States, a fisherman
had a close encounter with an unidentified submerged object in the
Pascagoula River in Mississippi sometime after 9:00 p.m. on this
evening. It was a bright metallic object submerged four to six feet
below the surface of the water, and emitted an amber beam 4-6 inches in
diameter. It was moving at 4-6 knots, and the fisherman reported that he
repeatedly had to beat it away from his boat with an oar.

Description: In 1973 in a rural part of Greensboro,
North Carolina, 9 people watched a blue ovoid UFO that made the trees
rustle at 6:30 p.m.. They watched it for several minutes and noted that
their dogs were upset by its presence. Later that evening, at 8:30 p.m.,
they saw it again and it was spitting out turquoise, amber, and white
colors from a band around its middle. The case is listed as having EM
interference effects. A UFO abduction is reported to have occurred in
Kirkwood, Missouri to Robert Baez, although no details are
available.

Description: A bus driver in Catavi, Bolivia reported
encountering a little man no more than 30 centimeters in height at the
house of a family named Siles. He explained that the little humanoid
spoke four languages and was interested in meeting "important
officials". He ate raw meat, carrots and the family kept him in a small
cage. Another local woman reported seeing two strange humanoids when she
looked inside one of the windows of the Siles family. She described the
being as having elongated heads with fish-like eyes. They wore shiny
metallic, silvery outfits. When the beings spoke they appeared to emit
an "electronic"' buzzing sound.

Description: (Translated from French) The witnesses
were two eleven-year-old boys (Richard Thiel and Danny Fleming). They
were going to play in a vacant lot (around 7 pm) (...) when they
discovered an object that was motionless. (...) They slowly approached
it. Five minutes passed, then one of the boys started to tap the object
three or four times with an electric torch. The object, described by the
boys as a clear grey, immediately came to life. The taps made a metallic
sound. At the top of the object, the dome began to shine with a red
light (alternating). At the same time, the object rose to 1 meter - 1
meter 20. Around the perimeter of the object, green lights flashed
successively. The object began to spin on itself, making a rather dull
sound. (...) and the object rose into the air, still making the same
sound. The boys started to run; they felt assaulted by shivers,
tinglings, and were overcome by a great weakness. (November 16,
1973)

Description: 7:00 p.m. Two 11-year old boys are outside
in Lemon Grove, California, intending to play in a vacant lot or field
in the neighborhood. When they arrive, there is a dark object hovering
about 18 inches above the field. It seems inactive. One of the boys
cautiously approaches and raps it with his flashlight, making a sound
like metal on metal. Instantly, the object’s dome lights up in a
brilliant red light that illuminates the entire area. It rises three or
four more feet off the ground, and a row of green lights light up around
its perimeter, flashing in sequence. The thing begins rotating and
making a “woooo woooo woooo” sound. The object is easily visible now and
appears as a domed disc. The dome is large and tall (about equal to half
or more of the disc height) and glowing bright red, then flashing
intermittent red. The boys are now frightened and start to run away as
the object takes off toward the southwest. At the site are found three
marks forming an equilateral triangle within an area of grass swirled in
a counterclockwise pattern. A magnetometer at La Posta Astro-Geophysical
Observatory in Campo, California, allegedly registers a perturbation at
7:20 p.m.

Description: About 6:00 p.m. Four women are driving
south from Tracy, Quebec, to Contrecoeur when they see a
“watermelon-sized” ball of yellowish light suddenly appear above a pylon
a quarter of a mile ahead of them. As they pass, it starts moving
westward over the St. Lawrence River. The object seems to change shape
as it flies, becoming alternately larger and smaller, dimming and
growing in intensity. The light follows them as they weave in and out
through wooded areas. Eventually the object is lost to sight as the
women drive into Montreal. At one point they encounter a large volume of
traffic that seems to be slowed by an odd pink cloud lying across the
highway. They also see a small human figure standing in the middle of
the road.

Description: On the previous evening Enrique Castillo
of Fulanos de Tal, Colombia was again summoned telepathically to go to
an isolated area for possible contact with "extraterrestrials." Hours
went by, when at around three o'clock in the morning numerous
illuminated objects appeared, one of which detached itself from the rest
and slowly approached him in a zigzag fashion. It performed an
astonishing series of maneuvers before landing on three supports about
60 meters away. The other lights disappeared. This craft was quite
different from the one he had previous encountered, of a rather peculiar
shape. A metallic ladder emerged, leaving a narrow, illuminated opening
from which a human shaped silhouette could be seen. Castillo started to
approach the craft but a deep voice ordered him to stop, and then
beckoned him to approach slowly. Soon a human looking alien named Cyril,
whom he had met on a previous occasion, met him at the doorway. He
invited Castillo to walk up the six steps of the ladder. When Castillo
extended his hand to greet him, he stepped back and motioned him to stop
between the last step and the door. A very bright blue flash of light
shone briefly, bathing Castillo's body. He understood that the blue
light was part of a sterilization system.
On board were two
other very different beings with "avocado-shaped heads", dressed in
one-piece, ample overalls. They smiled constantly. He went to greet
them, but they just bowed without extending their hands. The little men
were bald, with pale skin, seemingly completed coated with a film of
oil. They were about 1.5 meters (4 feet) tall, well proportioned, with
large normal eyes and normal ears, a large "Greek" nose, and prominent
jaws. Cyril declared that these creatures came from Mercury. Castillo
was incredulous because he knew there were immense temperatures
contrasts on that planet. But he was told, "you would be astonished by
the civilizations that have flourished there." Via a spiral stairway
Castillo was taken to the second level, which he found rather cramped.
Cyril announced that the craft was on its way to the "mother ship." One
of the other beings took Castillo to a closet on the first floor and
gestured to him to put on a uniform, which stretched to fit him
perfectly.
A gigantic craft came into view. A hatch opened,
from which came an intense light. Inside the mother ship Castillo was
led through several passageways and in one area he noticed an emblem, in
high relief, of a winged serpent holding what looked like an egg. Inside
this object Castillo also encountered toilet facilities. In the hall
Castillo claims to have encountered yet another thoroughly unbelievable
being, a giant man no less than three meters tall. His features were
remarkably similar to those of a common terrestrial. His skin was
grayish, his hands hairy with normal fingers, shaped at the tips like
spatulas. He was dressed in a dull gray uniform. At one point Castillo
boarded a smaller craft accompanied by Cyril and the two smaller
humanoids. It took them on a ride to different places apparently on
earth. Later back aboard the mother ship Castillo claims to have seen a
robot, with some human features, and for the first time, women who wore
tight-fitting suits and had decidedly feminine features. "Their golden
hair framed the most beautiful faces I had ever seen," Castillo
enthused. They were as tall as the men, perhaps 1.75 meters. Eventually
Castillo was returned to an area not farm from Bogota, Columbia. He had
been away for about 26 hours.

Description: On this evening four girls between the
ages of 14 and 24 years old were accompanied as they drove from Tracy,
Quebec toward Montreal by a luminous white flying ball of light. It was
perhaps the size of a watermelon. It sometimes flew ahead of them and
sometimes behind them, at a considerable distance. They passed through a
cloud of red dust that obscured their vision, and shortly after emerging
from the cloud they had to swerve to avoid a little man wearing dark
clothing and a lappet helmet, who was standing on the white line in the
middle of the road. He appeared to be sweeping with push-broom. He was
short in stature and they could not see his face. After passing the
"sweeper" they saw a car and three dark clad people beside the road.
There were several other UFO sightings in this part of Quebec the same
evening.

Description: A truck engine stalled in Sidrolandia,
Brazil on this night in 1973. Farmer Joao Rodrigues Terra and his
farmhand Djalma Da Silva Faques were driving to the farmer's house when
they observed a a bright orange oval-shaped object 12 meters in diameter
emerge from a strange, low white cloud. It flew at only one meter above
the ground and came to within 30 meters. It had a dome on top and
bottom. The surface was shiny and metallic with a luminous fan-shaped
beam directed from the top, upwards. The UFO continually changed colors.
They had trouble starting their pickup truck, and then could only creep
along as the UFO paced them only 30 meters away for the next ten
minutes. Faques, the passenger, observed the UFO closely and could
clearly see a small human figure inside. The truck functioned normally
after the object sped away, but its new battery failed three days later
and could not be recharged. (Sources: David Webb, 1973 -Year of the
Humanoids, case 73-46D; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT:
Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-76; Richard Hall, The UFO
Evidence, Volume 2: A Thirty Year Report, p. 255). On this night in 1975
in Oak Brook, Illinois, a boy saw a domed disc hovering near his home.
The UFO had a red light on top and two clear lights on the side. That
same night a red oval-shaped UFO followed a car in Saint Thomas,
Pennsylvania. It hovered, and then disappeared. .

Description: (Translated from French) In the night this
woman was unable to sleep and went to the kitchen. Around 2 o'clock her
attention was suddenly drawn to a white object that seemed to be
floating on the other side of the window. She approached it and
discovered something 4 feet tall: a humanoid being, with a round head
and normal eyes. She saw neither nose nor mouth on the face. Around the
head, or helmet that surrounded the head, there was a kind of halo or
aureole of flames. She also saw some kind of laces around its neck. The
shoulders were not built square like a human's but started from the base
of the head or helmet, at an angle of 45°. She was not scared, the being
even seemed beautiful to her. She felt drawn to the humanoid, but felt
unable to move. When the creature disappeared after about 15 seconds,
she suddenly realized that a strange event had just occurred and ran to
the bedroom to wake up her husband. But there was nothing to be seen
anymore.

Description: (Translated from French) Two pilots and a
technician spot an unknown glowing ball above Turin airport. The
commander of a piper attempts to pursue it. He describes: "I
saw in front of me an object that looked like a sphere of intense and
very white brightness. This light decreased and increased: it never went
out. Only its intensity varied. The object was a bit higher than my
plane and so I started to climb to its height to approach it. While
climbing, I had the clear impression (my control devices confirmed it)
that the object was going up or down in front of me. Taking advantage of
a moment when the object was below, I went down, I accelerated to exceed
400 km/h. But I did not manage to reach the object, because it moved
away from my plane more and more, increasing its speed compared to mine.
The craft moved away towards the south (...) The UFO was spotted by the
airport's radars. Several people will testify to having seen, that
evening, a very large light above the city of Turin. The case has a
great media impact. (November 30th, 7 PM)

Description: 7:00 p.m. Pilot Riccardo Marano is about
to land at Caselle Airport, Turin, Italy, in a Piper Navajo, when the
controller notifies him that there is a UFO about 1,320 feet above the
runway. He sees a luminous, multicolored ball of light changing from
violet to blue to dark red. “When I got closer and had a better view,
the object at once made off, flying in a most irregular fashion,
maneuvering in a way I have seen no plane do, making fantastic lateral
deviations, and sudden vast jumps to and fro, as if it enjoyed playing
hide-and-seek. Its speed was as high as” 540 mph, Marano says. Col.
Rustichelli, commandant of the Caselle military airfield, sees the UFO
on his own radar screen. “It was something solid, lit up, like a plane
on my radar.” Commander Tranquillo, pilot of an Alitalia Air Line DC-9
en route from Turin to Rome, calls to the control tower: “I see a
shining thing giving out intermittent flashes of light, four miles from
me. I dare not approach. I give way.” Commander Mezzalami in another
Alitalia DC-9 reports: “I was able to observe the object … notified by
the control tower just as I was about to touch down. I had a good view
of it I can offer no theories as to its significance and can only
say that it was something very strange indeed.”

Description: (Translated from French) The witness lives
in a modest row house and makes the observation from the ground floor.
The 75 m² garden is delimited by three high whitewashed walls, behind
the back wall there is the property of a convent of religious women
housing a school. V.M. was already in bed that night, when around 2
o'clock in the morning he woke up for a natural need and had to go out
to a small building attached to the kitchen. He did this without turning
on the light, in the darkness. When he arrived in the kitchen he heard
the sound of a shovel falling outside. Through the window curtain he saw
a greenish light outside. His garden should normally have been plunged
into darkness at this hour, the witness was very intrigued. He went to
the window, moved the curtain aside. In the back of the garden was a
small being of about 1m10 dressed in a shiny suit that emitted a
greenish light. The character was visible from the back and
three-quarters. He was of medium build, the head, legs and arms
proportionate to his height. On his head he wore a transparent helmet in
the shape of a ball and a tube came out of the back to connect to a kind
of backpack that the character wore on his back. This bag, rectangular
in shape, covered his back from the waist to the shoulder blades. This
equipment had the same appearance as the clothes. On his stomach, at
waist height, he wore a small bright red, luminous and sparkling square
box, attached to a belt. The bottom of the billowing trousers was taken
up in small tight boots of the same greenish aspect. The hands were
gloved and the sleeves of the garment tightened at the wrists. Seen from
the back, the head appeared round and black. A halo surrounded the
visitor partially illuminating the ground and the left wall. He held in
his hand a device comparable to a vacuum cleaner or a mine detector
which he slowly passed over a pile of bricks at the bottom of the
garden. The character seemed to move with difficulty. He was waddling as
he walked. V.M. then used the flashlight and made two light calls in the
direction of the creature. At this signal the humanoid turned around by
pivoting in one piece. V.M. then saw for the first time the black face
of the visitor. He saw neither nose nor mouth: only small pointed ears.
The eyes, oval and yellow, were particularly bright and surrounded by a
green edge. On the iris the witness noticed small black and red veins,
the pupil was black and oval (note from vog: he saw all this at 25 m
distance? This creature must have had ENORMOUS eyes!) When the eyelids
lowered, the face became completely dark. Then the being answered the
witness by raising his hand and forming a "V" with his index and middle
finger (note from vog: unless it was donkey ears he was representing!)
after which he turned towards the back wall. He put one foot flat
against the masonry, then the other and climbed the wall holding his
legs straight, arrived at the top of this 3 m high obstacle, he tilted
forward to descend (probably) on the other side. A minute having
elapsed, V.M. saw an aura of white light appear behind the wall and a
round object gradually appear, of about 5 m in diameter, which
eventually rose vertically to 20m, then tilted and left behind a
luminous trail. During the flight of the craft there was a sound like
the rubbing of the elytra of a cricket, which amplified into a whistling
when the craft left.

Description: Kansas is quietly undergoing an epidemic
of strange cattle deaths. The incidents first receive wide publicity in
the December 22 Kansas City Times, which takes note of the fact that
most of the deaths are Black Angus. They have died within a few miles of
US 81 in a dozen counties in north-central Kansas. Many show knife marks
on the carcasses, including the apparent butchering of sex organs. The
lack of blood and footprints is also puzzling. Sheriffs from the
affected counties meet and decide that cultists are responsible. But
according to the Kansas State University Veterinarian Laboratory in
Manhattan, the animals have died of bloat and coyotes have eaten the
soft parts. Many ranchers reject the explanation. Mystery helicopters
are also linked to the mutilations.

Description: In 1973, Mr. Marjapori was loading gravel
at French Lake in Annandale, Louisiana at eight o'clock in the morning
when he spotted a silver, cone-shaped UFO. The large end of the cone was
revolving, and it was emitting silver streaks from the short end. It
shot away to the southeast at a very high speed. At 7:00 that evening a
shiny, silver cigar-shaped object descended and paced a car with a
mother and daughter in Sugar Grove, Ohio. The UFO had a red light on one
end, a green light on the other, and a pulsating white light in the
center. It fixed a beam of light on the car and pursued it for 15
minutes.

Location: FRANCE, Carteret-Barneville
Description: (Translated from French) Two fishermen,
father Georges Jean and son Noël, arrived on the field around 05:30 in
the morning. A big light was revealed at sea level, on the sand.
Stunned, the fishermen did not dare to advance at first, but still went
down towards the beach, each one going towards his lines. The son saw
the light right on his lines and went to get the father, explaining that
the light was at the heart of his nets. They headed towards it, pointing
their lamps in front of them. The light did not move. They were scared
and went back up towards their mopeds. Before leaving, they saw the
yellow light go out, then a blue-green beam swept the ground and the
dunes. Apart from fear, the witnesses felt nothing. (J. C. BOURRET: "la
nouvelle vague des S.V." - France Empire 1975 - P. 62,63) The same
night, a curious accident happened on the coast. The trawler Archipel
which was near the breakers of Urville just west of Cherbourg and on the
trajectory of the object, lost its way, apparently due to a disturbance
of its Decca-navigator (L.D.L.N), a deviation of the compass (J.Vallée
Collège invisible p. 72). The boat hit the rocks and sank. (M. FIGUET/
J.L. RUCHON: "Ovni, Premier dossier complet..." - éd. Alain Lefeuvre
1979, p. 426) They advanced to about 150 m from the object which had the
appearance of an intense yellow window of 3.50m long by 1.50m high
emitting a conical beam towards the ground. (...) but it suddenly
changed: the yellow light went out. At the place where it had hovered
was now a blue-green balloon which flew away at 6:05.

Description: (Translated from French) At 6:30, the
witness, Rita Franco, was returning from a short walk with her young
shepherd dog. As she was climbing the steps of her building, she heard a
crackling noise. She turned around and saw, towards the Chaussée de
Boitsfort, a gray-blue luminous beam. It was directed vertically towards
the sky and was hollow. The top of the beam was cut horizontally. While
she was looking at this phenomenon, it started to move: the crackling
was replaced by a whistling. During its movement, the beam described
quite tight circles. The dog's fur was literally standing on end. She
expected to see the phenomenon reappear momentarily, hidden by a
building, but then she saw a gray-matte craft emerge, which stopped in
the air after a silent trajectory of about ten meters. This thing was
not lit. It was egg-shaped, with the large end downwards. It seemed to
have important edges or welds, but too small to be wings. At that
moment, the panicked dog ran towards the hall and she followed it. She
hoped to be able to examine the phenomenon from the terrace, but when
she got there, there was nothing to see anymore.

Levittown, Pennsylvania observed a UFO with lights "flying funny" up and
down the Delaware River. It had three flashing red lights, and made no
sound. It next hovered in the sky for one minute, then vanished in the
clear sky. At 6:35 p.m. several city residents of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania watched a UFO over the Linden Avenue area of the city,
including some who viewed it through binoculars. It looked like an
acorn, with a green bottom. It was blinking slowly and was surrounded by
a gray mist or haze. At 11:25 p.m. a cartographer and his wife saw UFO
with four blinking white lights and a red light in the center while
driving in northeast Philadelphia on Interstate 95. The object had a
rectangular-shaped bottom, and a hat-shaped side view; it flew to the
north, met up with a cluster of lights, and then flew off towards
Bristol.

New Jersey, in Gloucester County, first noticed a red glow, then a
hamburger-shaped disc with a red light on top and a green light on the
bottom. The UFO made a hissing sound, and emitted bright white jets of
light from the sides when the object moved, like rocket thrusts. At
11:30 p.m. in Horton Bay, Michigan a glowing, mushroom-shaped UFO was
seen over a highway intersection. It made no sound, and “just
disappeared.” On that same night on a farm between Lincoln and Cole
Camp, Missouri a farmer reported that a low flying UFO frightened his
livestock.

Location: FRANCE, Fabrègues (Hérault)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 6:45 pm
two 14-year-old boys, Fernand Perez and Jean Paul Dazévédo, were out for
a ride on their mopeds to the chapel of Saint Baudile. Almost at the top
of the steep hill they saw a strange light illuminating the chapel. They
abandoned their mopeds and continued on foot: they discovered a circular
object about 10 meters in diameter and about 3.5 meters high, resting on
legs, a bit lower down. The object was the color of aluminum and they
heard a faint humming like that of a small electric motor. All around
the dome there were red and white flashing lights. A door opened in the
middle, sliding on the upper part of the dome. They were scared! They
went back down to their mopeds, avoiding making any noise, and returned
to Fabrègues to alert people. Three of their friends went back up with
them. When they arrived at the site they were blinded by an intense
light that prevented them from seeing anything. The story spread around
the village, and when everyone arrived at the top, they saw an object
that seemed to be trying to land, but it disappeared over the crest of
the hill in the direction of Sète. - Traces (GARREAU and LAVIER: "Face
aux extra-terrestres" - DELARGE 1975 - J'ai Lu, pp. 207-209) Note: the
Fabrègues case is thought to be a hoax set up by the two main young
witnesses, but no counter-investigation has come to our knowledge.

Description: Also on this day in 1973, two 11-year-old
boys in Chula Vista, San Diego County, California spotted a flying
saucer from their school classroom. The bottom of the object was "real
shiny like it was glowing." In Watsonville, Santa Cruz County,
California early that morning at 5:50 a.m. a UFO with red lights on top
and silver lights on the bottom moved gradually north after remaining
stationary for 10 minutes. The UFO was viewed through binoculars, and
reportedly had a wide red band that rotated around the middle of the
craft's body

Description: About four hours later (6:20 p.m. local
time) in Ouzoues-sur-Loire, France a 50-year-old couple, several other
witnesses, and gendarmes watched a silent, 5 meter tall cone-shaped UFO
only 20 meters from the ground fly away toward the southwest. Two hours
after that, at about 8:30 p.m. in Hochries, Germany near the
Austrian-Bavarian border, Friedrich Lennartz, age 33, and Peter Zettel,
age 29, had a close encounter of the second kind when a multi-colored,
ovoid UFO responded to a red signal rocket they had fired to get the
UFO's attention. The UFO had been hovering near a mountain ski resort
with the pointed end up. Its size was estimated as nine meters in
diameter and 12-14 meters tall. The top portion looked like a yellow
dome. Four rows of colored lights (red, green, blue, and white) rotated
counterclockwise around the lower portion. They experienced loud static
on their short wave radio as the UFO changed color to a dazzling red,
made a 90-degree turn, and sped toward the witnesses, traveling 5-6
kilometers in 10 seconds. It hovered close to their mountain for two
more hours as their dogs whimpered to be let into the cabin. The UFO
then shot upward at a steep angle at "breakneck speed."

her residential neighborhood of Frameries, Hainaut, Belgium at 5:45 a.m.
The object flew in front of the witnessat 12 meters altitude. It had 4
or 5 bars and small red and blue lights slowly flashing underneath every
two seconds, plus two headlights. At 6:30 p.m. a luminous white
disc-shaped object hovered in place over Dilbeek, Brabant, Belgium for a
few minutes. It then swung silently around to show its edge, at the end
of which flashed two red lights. The UFO climbed into the sky, leaving
toward the northeast. There were three adult witnesses.

Description: At 9:15 a.m. the witness was alone at home
with her young daughter and had just stepped out onto her patio in
Mayaguez, Puerto Rico when she saw a bright oval-shaped craft hovering
at a high altitude overhead. It appeared to be rocking back and forth.
She went back inside the house and she next heard a loud humming sound,
which stopped for a few moments, then started again. She then saw
through her kitchen window a strange being standing 15 feet away. He was
of normal height, but wore a bright, tight-fitting uniform and a black
helmet. His skin was reddish bronze in color and he seemed not to have a
mouth or a nose. His eyes were two round holes that stared at the
witness intensely. A yellowish beam of light illuminated the man from an
unknown source in the sky. The witness felt like she going into a
trance, and began receiving telepathic messages from the being. At one
point she felt compelled to go to the front of the house, where she saw
a floating box about three inches long and very shiny, it seemed to have
had a calming effect on her. After the incident she went into a fit of
hysterics.

Description: (Translated from French) Beginning of the
CLAUDE VORILHON = RAEL affair. "That is how I found myself at the bottom
of the crater (note from vog: extinguished! Phew!); And suddenly I saw a
flashing light above the volcano (...) It was only when it stopped two
meters above the ground, about twenty meters from me, that I noticed it
had the shape of a huge bell, four meters high and seven meters in
diameter. It had the color of silver metal". The lower hatch of the
craft opened and inclined towards the ground, unfolding like a removable
footstep. "Seeing two feet appear, then two legs clad in green, I was
panic-stricken. I only regained my composure when, above a thin
silhouette, about 1.20m high, I saw the face of this mysterious being.
With his slanted eyes, wide forehead, black beard and olive complexion,
he had an Asian type. A kind of halo enveloped his face. (...) (Vorilhon
follows the stranger inside the saucer) At the request of the
extraterrestrial, he will return five days in a row at the same time to
the bottom of the crater. He will receive a long message and stunning
details about the origin of the worlds. (December 13, 1973)

Description: A famous well-investigated close encounter
of the third kind report occurred on this night in Vilvoorde, Belgium. A
28-year-old man awoke at 2:00 a.m. and saw in the yard behind his house
a short entity about 1.1 meters tall dressed in a luminous green space
suit and helmet. The being carried a device with a long handle and a
base that looked similar to a vacuum cleaner. He walked up the side of a
wall. The domed disc UFO was about six meters in diameter, and had an
insignia shaped like a black circle with a diagonal lightning flash
through it.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 9 pm,
Mme Jendreaux left the farm to check if the dogs were properly tied up
for the night. The sky was particularly cloudy and low. Suddenly,
towards the east she saw the phenomenon, as if it had just lit up: first
a kind of milky dome above a meadow 100 m away from her, which was
stationary close to the ground. Mme Jendreaux had the impression that it
was made of a transparent or translucent material because she seemed to
make out a kind of vertical "stovepipe" inside. On either side of this
pipe, the dome was stained with two vaguely circular dark areas. The
dome was the size of a small tractor. Above it, offset to the right,
were two yellow neon tubes placed one above the other, horizontal and
motionless. These tubes were clearly visible just above the line of
trees. The whole thing was perfectly silent and Mme Jendreaux,
fascinated, watched the phenomenon for several minutes without moving
from the doorstep and without thinking to call her husband inside the
house a few metres away from her. Suddenly she felt drawn, sucked
towards the phenomenon. She had the distinct impression that she was
rising, that her feet were leaving the ground... So, she clung to the
door handle. At the same moment, the dog, which had not yet reacted,
panicked and ran between her mistress's legs to take refuge in the

Description: Sen. Barry Goldwater states he was denied
access to UAP information at Wright-Patterson AFB when specifically
asking about a “room” where it was stored. Goldwater says he was told by
USAF Gen. Curtis LeMay cussed him out and said “don’t ever ask me that
question again.”
Note: A FOIA response by the USAF shows a film of a “Blue Room” rumored to be associated with UAP had been destroyed eight years earlier.
Note: Gen. Curtis LeMay was allegedly present at a close encounter between a F-89J Scorpion and a 30 feet object with four blue-white lights at James Connally AFB. The object almost collides with the plane before flying straight up at abrupt speed before disappearing at 90,000 feet altitude.

Location: FRANCE, Haisnes - Hulluch "La Tonne de
Goudron" (Pas de Calais)
Description: (Translated from French) The merchant
Liefooghe at 6 o'clock in the morning, on a route he takes every
weekday, saw in a field, 100 m away: a rocket 30 to 50 m high. Upon his
arrival it had tilted, emitted red-orange to white and disappeared into
the sky at an incredible speed. Gendarmerie alerted and traces on the
ground observed. (J.C. BOURRET: "La nouvelle vague des S.V." - France
Empire 1975, p.78 to 82) ... the witness alerted the gendarmerie who,
less than 3 hours later, was on the scene. They discovered, not only,
clear traces left by the cigar, but also footprints of small feet
measuring 17 cm long. (Erich ZUCHER: "Les apparitions d'humanoïdes" -
ed. Alain Lefeuvre 1979, p. 105) Around 7 o'clock, on a cloudy and foggy
day, Mr. Liefooghe sees the shape of a DS Citroën car, with two
yellow-orange headlights directed towards him. He finds it strange that
a car is parked against the flow of traffic, but continues to move at a
moderate speed. At 50 m from the parking spot of "the thing" he suddenly
sees a craft leaving the side of the road and, having reached the middle
of the road, performs a kind of turn. This "car" has no rear lights or
reflectors. 400 m further on he sees an orange glow in front of him on
the left. He then sees a large cigar-shaped object in a field 100 m
away. No superstructure is visible. Quickly the luminosity of the cigar
increases in intensity, it quickly tilts at about 20 degrees on its own
axis. The luminosity is at this moment so strong that it partially blurs
the previously sharp outlines. The surrounding fields are lit by a
yellow-orange light and the witness sees it as if it were broad
daylight. The illumination does not vary during the ascent of the
object, but it suddenly stops after a few moments. Traces on the ground:
traces of the craft and traces of small feet.

Description: At 7:00 a.m. on highway 347 between Lens
and La Bassee in Pas-de-Calais, France Mr. Liefooghe had a close
encounter with two UFOs. He came upon a disc-shaped object on the road,
and he watched a cigar-shaped UFO land in a vertical position. He did
not stay around but came back later with investigators, who found ground
marks and small footprints. At five a.m. CST another cigar-shaped object
with two small wings approached a home in La Grange, Illinois rapidly
from the west. The object was self-luminous and appeared solid, and
passed low over the treetops. At 4:20 p.m. Pacific Standard Time a
photograph of a luminous UFO was taken in Spokane, Washington and the
event was witnessed by two families. At 10:30 p.m. Mountain Standard
Time, on a highway near a farm east of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada a
man saw a bright light in his rearview mirror. It looked like the
revolving light on a train, except there were no railroad tracks in the
vicinity. He then noticed an eight-foot tall giant running in a ditch
alongside the truck at speeds up to 60 mph. The being touched the hood
and roof of the truck before being out-distanced.

entered when he was back outside again. He remembers seeing on board two
little girls (human). He believes he did not meet the extraterrestrials'

Description: (Translated from French) At 8:15 PM, the
14-year-old witness was in the backyard with two family members when
they heard a loud noise and all the lights went out at once. He ran
outside and saw an object in the shape of Saturn, 6.50 m in diameter and
4 to 4.50 m high, radiating beams of light of all colors. The upper part
was transparent and the witness saw 4 or 5 entities, dressed in dark
frogman suits, about 1.80 m tall and humanoid in appearance. During this
observation, the witness was unable to move and lost track of time. He
regained his senses as the electricity returned and the object left.

Hamilton Road, Quakers Hill, New South Wales, when the car suddenly
shakes violently and stops. The radio will not turn on. The driver gets
out of the car to get her children out of the back seat when she looks
up and sees a massive disc-shaped object at an altitude no greater than
the nearby power pole. It is surrounded completely by lights and has a
dome in the middle on the top. The object is gun-metal gray and the size
of half a football field. It silently moves over the dairy farm next to
the road. Then it stops and shoots up into the air. The car starts up
with no problems afterward.

Description: Since 1968, Marjorie
E. Fish, a schoolteacher in Oak Harbor, Ohio, has been fascinated
with the star map drawn by Betty
Hill after her abduction. If she could figure out what stars are on
the map, she might be able to determine where the UFO came from. With
much difficulty and many failed attempts, Fish creates a 3D map that
indicates the relevant stars are the two in the Zeta Reticuli binary
system, 39.3 light years from earth. She first publishes her results in
Pursuit. Later observations reveal some interpretations in Fish’s map to
be inaccurate, and she rejects her hypothesis in 2011.

Seconds later there is another bump and they reach a developed area that
turns out to be a town 20 miles to the north. They find a police station

was making his usual early morning five mile run in the park in Santa
Ana, California. He was out running in a driving rainstorm, when he came
upon a seven-foot-tall, bulky figure standing in a slumped forward
posture, with long arms dangling nearly to the ground. Behind it was
hovering an orange pulsating flying saucer, only a few feet off the
ground. The creature's head accounted for more than half of its height.
It had very large eyes, and its legs were "squashed" and "stubby." It
waddled up to Barry and struck him on the chest, knocking him into a
pool of water. It then waddled away and climbed aboard the UFO, which
rose into the sky. Others reportedly saw UFOs over Santa Ana that
day.

Description: (Translated from French) It was exactly
8:20. They had left Chateaulun a little earlier and were in Saint-Nic,
at the top of a slight height, when one of them saw an object in the
sky, which caught his attention and aroused his curiosity. Gendarme
Kaminski stopped the staff car at the request of his companion and both
observed the strange "thing". "It was approximately in the axis of Cap
de la Chèvre," explains Mr. Le Stunff. The color was orange, the shape
elongated. As we said, it was 8:20. It was not very clear but the night
had stopped. Due to its direction, it is obvious that this light could
not be confused with that of the sun. The object was motionless and the
light contrasted with the "cloud" behind it. We observed it for about
five minutes. But during this period, it changed shape, in fact it
looked like a kind of "condensation" of "smoke", I can not think of
another word. At the start it had an elongated shape, then it took the
shape of a dome (a mushroom cap) before coming to a standstill above the
aircraft carrier "Foch" in the bay of Douarnenez. Then the whole seemed
to burst before taking the shape of a circle. After that, the UFO
changed shape again into a dome, but this time the condensation
surrounded it at its base, before taking altitude and disappearing into
the clouds. (..) "(Jean François BOEDEC: "Les OVNI en Bretagne, Anatomie
d'un Phénomène", ed. Fernand Lanore 1978, pp. 90 to 92) At the place
called "Coat Madiou" two gendarmes from the Telgrunc brigade, Le Strunff
(the Stroumph, blue ???) and Kaminski, saw in the sky a strange object
at 8:20 in the morning. It was in the shape of an orange half-sphere and
was followed by a pale orange cloud. The phenomenon came to stabilize
above a building of the navy in the bay of Douarnenez: the aircraft
carrier Foch. Later the witnesses learned that the nuclear submarine
"Redoutable" was on an immersion mission under the "Foch". The cloud
came to stabilize under the object and the contours became clearer.
Later, this kind of "mushroom" luminous burst or seemed to explode to
take the shape of a pale orange sphere. Then it took its initial shape
and its first colors, the contours became crazy, it rose slowly to
disappear into the clouds. (Philippe SCHNEYDER: "Ovni, first balance" -
ed. du Rocher 1983, pp. 53, 54) This observation is reported on the date
of February 3, 1974 by:

Description: (Translated from French) The witness was
driving his AMI 6 at 60/70 km/h from Comines to Warneton at around 8:40
PM. The car radio was working normally. There was a bright moonlight and
the sky was clear. Suddenly the car headlights went out and almost
simultaneously the engine stopped after a few stutters and the radio
became silent. The car continued to roll for about a hundred meters,
then its owner stopped it with the handbrake. He was about to get out of
the car to see what was happening, his hand already on the door handle:
he didn't have time to complete his gesture when he saw, on the right
side, in the elevated field, what he took for a hay wagon 150 m away
from him. But there were white and orange reflections on the object and
he also noticed that it was standing on three legs. The whole object
reminded him of a "Tommy" helmet. Through the windshield he then saw two
silhouettes in the field, 30 m away from the car. They were walking
towards him in a rigid and slow manner, stopped at 15 m and then resumed
their progression. The first one, the smallest, looked like a Michelin
man but with barely marked rings. He had a helmet on, the round helmet
had a large window behind which one could see a face. He was holding a
kind of short thick ruler in his right hand and pointing it towards the
car. The second one was a bit taller (1.20 m to 1.30 m) and he was
wearing an opaque cubic helmet, except for the front wall which was
transparent and showed a strange face. The two faces were alike like
those of twins: pear-shaped head, grayish complexion, two perfectly
round eyes like agate beads, barely pronounced eyebrow arch. Small nose
with little relief, the mouth a horizontal slit without lips. When one
of them opened his mouth at one point, the witness saw neither teeth nor
tongue. The costume was gray metallic matte. The shoes were big and
pointed. Inside the helmets there was a soft light. Shortly after the
beings had stopped very close to the ditch, the witness felt a slight
shock at the back of the skull, at the height of the cerebellum: after
this shock he heard (before he heard nothing, the windows being closed):
a deep modulated sound, increasing in intensity. During all this time a
third Michelin man stayed close to the craft in the field. The
face-to-face was suddenly disturbed: suddenly the two beings turned
their heads in a perfectly synchronized movement, the sound stopped, the
beings turned around and quickly went back to the UFO. The tripod
disappeared, the beings were inside the thing which rose 50 cm and after
3 or 4 seconds of immobility it rose horizontally and disappeared. In
the rearview mirror the witness saw the white lights of a car
approaching. Slumped in the seat the witness will see a Belgian motorist
open the door for him and ask him: "Did they hurt you?" He had seen them
too, he had engine stutters but not the headlights going out. After a
few starter solicitations the witness's car was also able to
leave.

Description: (Translated from French) A Belgian
businessman is driving near the French-Belgian border. His headlights
suddenly go out. His engine stops abruptly. His radio goes silent. The
driver pulls the handbrake and stops on the side of the road. He then
sees in a field, 150 m away, an object that looks like a British helmet
(the famous "flat cap") and sees two small beings come out of it. The
smallest one, who looks like the Michelin Man, wears a round helmet. He
has strange eyes and a slit for a mouth. The bigger one wears a uniform,
with a cubic helmet and a belt. When the bigger one seems to open his
mouth, the businessman feels a shock at the base of his skull and hears
a kind of modulated sound. At that moment, a car appears on the horizon.
The two humanoids quickly move away, walking with abrupt and identical
gestures, without seeming bothered by the mud covering the field.
According to the businessman, their legs were only partially visible.

Description: 8:40 p.m. A man’s car suddenly dies as he
is driving near Warneton, Belgium. He sees a landed domed disc with a
flat bottom like a WWI helmet, 23–33 feet in diameter and 7–10 feet
wide. It has a flange around its base and three legs. White and orange
alternating bands are on the glowing object. Two humanoid beings
approach him. They have broad shoulders, heads shaped like inverted
pears, long arms, large eyes, and no noses. One is about 4 feet tall,
the other somewhat taller; a third being remains near the craft. They
wear internally lit cube- shaped helmets with the face visible, gray
jumpsuits, and gloves. The taller being comes within 12–15 feet of the
vehicle, then opens and closes its mouth. The witness feels a shock to
the back of his head and hears a low- pitched sound. The two humanoids
quickly return to the craft, which now pulses with an electric blue
color, and departs.

Description: Driving toward Warneton, Belgium along the
French-Belgian border, the witness experienced the failure of the
lights, engine, and radio of his car. He saw a landed object 150 meters
away in a field to his right. The UFO was shaped like a World War I
British helmet, was 7 to 10 meters wide, and stood on tripod landing
gear. It had patches of orange luminescence on top with a white light
underneath. Two beings were seen coming from the direction of the
object, walking slowly and stiffly toward the car. The shorter entity
wore an outfit with horizontal rings around the torso and a round helmet
with a large, circular face plate showing a pear shaped, grayish head
with no hair, round "marble like" eyes, a rudimentary nose, and a
slit-like lipless mouth. He held an object like a short thick ruler with
a pointed tip, aimed at the car. The taller entity wore a cubical helmet
transparent in form, showing a face identical with the other's but with
a small rectangular box under the chin. His suit was a dull metallic
gray one-piece coverall, including gloves and heavy, pointed boots. He
wore a black belt with a luminous disc in front and a diagonal "Sam
Browne" strap from belt to shoulder, with a vertical row of "buttons" on
each side of the chest. Both beings had long arms. The interior of the
helmets appeared to be illuminated. A third entity was seen standing
guard near the object.
The two beings approached to within
four meters of the car and the taller was seen opening and closing his
mouth. The witness felt a slight shock on the back of his head and
heard, simultaneously, a low pitched, modulated sound. The two suddenly
wheeled around and walked quickly back to the object, which now pulsated
an electric blue color on top. The three beings boarded, the landing
gear withdrew, and the object rose slightly, hovered, then ascended
rapidly at a 60 degree angle. A car was then seen approaching, whose
driver said he had seen the object and its occupants. As the primary
witness drove off, he continued to get poor reception on his car radio.
The duration of the close encounter was about 20 minutes.

Description: (Translated from French) John E. Justice,
a night guard, having taken his car at the end of his shift, at three in
the morning, was driving normally on the long park avenue, when suddenly
his headlights dimmed and his engine stopped. In a few seconds Justice
saw large lights descending and spreading out in the sky a short
distance in front of his car. Then the rainbow of lights went out, and
an oval-shaped light about two meters in diameter appeared. It was too
bright for him to make out any shape of the fuselage. "The trees, the
road, everything was lit up," said Justice. "And in my car I could have
cut my nails, it was so bright." The object was getting closer. Soon it
was only two meters in front of the car and slightly above. He could now
see inside the oval object. It was a golden-colored room with 5
occupants seated on high chairs on the left side. They were motionless,
in a row, wearing capes of the same color as the chairs. (...) their
hair was so long that it covered part of their faces. They all looked
alike. (January 8, 1974)

light moving towards the coast from the sea. It divided into three
lights as it came closer. They walked to the nearest pier to catch a
better look of the lights and began walking down the pier when two more
lights became visible to their right. They could now see that the lights
were five humanoid beings that were walking gracefully in the water. The
seawater reached their chests. These beings were dressed in diving suits
and their heads were covered with helmets with a mask and a tube going
onto their backs. The beings walked out of the water and onto the road,
leaving the area.

Location: FRANCE, Landivisiau (Saint Derrien? )
(Finistère nord)
Description: (Translated from French) On January 18th
1974, it was Mr. Jaffres, from the village "Bellevue" in Ladivisiau who
observed a "glowing ball" at the height of the clouds. This object
descended vertically and came to a stop above a meadow. Mr. Jaffres then
decided to take his car and go to the scene "to be sure". To his
surprise, upon arrival, the UFO had changed shape and presented itself
as an immense vertical cylinder of metallic appearance, 6 meters high
and 3 meters wide. Two rotors were visible above and below it: they
emitted intermittent flashes of light. The witness, not very reassured
by this presence, sent out several beacon calls: the craft then began to
rise and fall! And it would do so with each call. Mr. Jaffres parked his
vehicle near a slope, grabbed his... pistol and advanced towards the
meadow... The UFO approached slowly... Mr. Jaffre then felt a tingling
in his eyes... That was too much. Our man quickly returned to his home.
The observation continued for 2 hours from the window of the first
floor, in the company of two other witnesses, before the cylinder
transformed again into a sphere before returning to the clouds... (Jean
François BOEDEC: "Les OVNI en BRETAGNE, Anatomie d'un Phénomène", éd.
Fernand Lanore 1978, p. 74 ) It was 10:30 pm, it was raining, Mr. and
Mrs. Jaffrès and Mrs. brother were about to go to bed, when, through the
window, a bright light caught their attention. It came from a ball two
to three times as big as the full moon, under the cloud ceiling. The
wind was blowing hard from west to east. This ball was descending at
great speed vertically, slowing down greatly when it was no more than
200 or 300 m from the ground, moving above a field. The shape, then more
distinct, was cylindrical, with the lower and upper ends formed of
rings. It was about 300 m from the house. Mr. Jaffrès finally, after
already 3/4 of an hour of observation, took the decision to go out in
the car and go to the edge of the field. Despite the rainy weather, the
whole area of the place called "Belle-Vue" was lit up. After 10 minutes,
he had the idea of making beacon calls. At each "code-phare" passage,
the object went up and down, giving the impression of a helicopter in
difficulty. The witness then had the certainty that the extreme rings
were turning on the cylinder, projecting sparks and sparks of the color
of a continuous flash. The witness got out of the car. The object
sometimes moved slowly, sometimes much more quickly. When it came back
to the witness, he felt for the first time a discharge of heat very
clearly and he heard a buzzing like that of a fan. The witness was not
really afraid, but became nervous and when the object was 20 m from him,
he felt tingles and his eyes were tingling. Caution: he had armed
himself with a defense pistol before going to meet the UFO... Then,
seeing the object rise and believing that it was leaving, the witness
returned to the house. It was already twelve thirty. They continued to
watch the evolutions of what they took for takeoff attempts. At 03:00 in
the morning, the light dimmed and they saw the ball return to the
clouds. The next day the witness went to the field to find any traces:
he found grass lying in places and in some places there was a liquid
substance that looked like fuel but was not. Unfortunately, he did not
have the idea of collecting a little of this liquid for analysis. (1974,
January 18th to 19th)

nature with a covering skin. Other units supposedly transported live

Description: 8:30 p.m. Witnesses at Llandrillo,
northern Wales, see a bright object followed by a luminous tail and
(according to one witness) a blinking blue light. The object is
motionless for several minutes, during which time it dims then becomes
very bright. It appears to crash around Cadair Bronwen mountain, east of
the village. Many people hear a terrific explosion and a violent shaking
of the ground recorded up to 60 miles away. Astronomers at Leicester
University, England, record at least three fireball meteors this
evening. The British Geological Survey identifies the source of the
explosion as an earthquake. Police and a mountain rescue team from RAF
Valley in Anglesey, Wales, are in the area almost immediately and cordon
off access to the supposed crash site on a barren hilltop. They find no
trace of a crash the next day, but a nurse on the way to the crash site
after being telephoned by police headquarters is on her way up the
mountain with her daughters when she sees something sitting on the
ground ahead of her. It seems to be intact and is large, circular, and
glowing orange. The nurse and her daughters are within a few hundred
feet when police and military forces show up and clearly tell her to
leave the area. Researcher Tony Dodd is
reportedly approached by a retired military man using the name of
“Robert Prescott” who tells him that he and some others were assigned to
transport two oblong crates from the crash site to a place called Porton
Down where the UK Ministry of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology
Laboratory is located. They are instructed not to stop for anyone.
Military personnel open the crates and Prescott sees two humanoid
figures, apparently dead, about 5–6 ft tall, very thin, almost skeletal
in nature with a covering skin. These are placed in decontamination
suits. Other units supposedly transport live aliens from the crash site.
At 10:00 p.m., a man watches a luminous sphere descend into the sea near
the Dee Estuary about 25 miles north. Nick
Redfern speculates that a UK version of Project Moon Dust might be
in activation, which could explain reports of mystery helicopters in the
area in prior weeks. Jenny
Randles hears later from a former UK government official that a
crashed UFO is being kept in a military base in South Wales. In May,
Welsh MP Dafydd
Elis-Thomas asks Defence Minister Brynmor John if
any official investigation was made; John says the only official
investigation was made by the RAF Valley team. National Archives files
released in 2005 show that the MoD consulted the Meteorological Office
and DI55, which says the meteor explanation is the likeliest.

Description: The entire village of Llandrillo, Wales
heard a loud explosion that was preceded by violent shaking of the
ground. Running outside, many people saw blue and orange lights floating
in a circle around Cader Mountain east of the village. Police and RAF
personnel were in the area quickly and cordoned off access to a supposed
crash site on the barren hilltop. A nurse, telephoned by the police, was
on her way up the mountain to the crash site with her daughters when she
saw something sitting on the ground ahead of her. It seemed to be intact
and was very large, circular and glowed orange. She and her daughters
got to within a few hundred feet of teh object when the police and
military showed up and told her to leave. According to UFO researcher
Tony Dodd, a retired military man using the name of "Robert Prescott"
told him that he and some others had been assigned to transport two
crates from the crash site to the top secret military weapons research
facility at Porton Down near Salisbury, England. According to Prescott,
military personnel opened the crates and found two humanoid bodies about
5 to 6 feet tall, and so very thin they were almost skeletal in nature.
Other units allegedly transported live aliens from the "crash"

Description: (Translated from French) (Source: New 1999
book by veterinarian and ufologist Nick Redfern, U.K.) A UFO crashed in
the isolated Clwyd valley and the bodies of two aliens were removed from
the wreckage, writes this author. "Farmer Huw Lloyd, 39 in 1999, was
then a 14-year-old boy watching television at his home in Llandrillo,
very close to the crash site, that night in 1974. He says he saw a large
object followed by a luminous trail and a flashing blue light. Huw
remembers: 'It was amazing how quickly the police arrived and how many
people came to see.' Among the arrivals, Redfern says, were units of the
British army, and it was they who removed the body of the aliens. One of
the soldiers, named 'James Prescott' (pseudonym) was sent from
Llanderfel with four other soldiers, and loaded two long oblong boxes
into their armored truck". The truck was taking the boxes to the
Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment at Porton Down, near
Salisbury, in Wiltshire, with the strict order not to stop under any
pretext or for anyone. "Mr Prescott is retired today and is too scared
to allow the use of his real name. He says that once they arrived "the
boxes were opened by senior officers in our presence. We were amazed to
see two creatures in decontamination suits. It was obvious that they

Aische-en-Rafail near Lierneaux, Belgium at 4:03 p.m. saw an object
shaped like a flattened cupola resting on the ground. The engine and
radio in her car both failed and she stopped near the object. It had
three sections, colored red, yellow, and black. After about 30 seconds,
it rose up slowly and disappeared behind a line of trees. The car's
engine came on by itself as the object left. There were two other
sightings that evening in France and another in England.

Description: (Translated from French) Witnesses were
flying in a TAP Boeing 707 from Lisbon to Cape Verde and Las Palmas.
Alerted by technician Francisco Duarte, captain Rodrigo Freitas saw at
Freitas' coast, and facing their plane, at 80 miles, a formation of 5
lights. Two of these lights were spinning. The phenomenon was followed
by a trail. The plane was flying at 900 km/h at 19000 feet. The lights
were at 16000 feet above the plane. The pilot tried to find out if other
planes were confirming this observation and learned that a South African
plane had encountered the strange formation 40 minutes earlier. Knowing
the position of the other plane, Mr. Freitas later calculated that the
formation was flying at a speed of 36000 km/h and made a report to NASA.

Description: (Translated from French) .. at 9 o'clock
(...) Xi Shuzi, an old woman, was outside tending to the pigs. When she
looked up, she saw an unusual flying object in the sky. She immediately
ran to her house to call her family, who came out into the courtyard. In
the end, there were more than ten witnesses (...) It was a main object
accompanied by seven smaller ones. The main body was oval-shaped and not
shiny. The seven small flying objects in the shape of a sphere, emitted
a yellow-white, transparent and dazzling light. They were on the same
plane, around the main object and at an equal distance from it. Their
light illuminated the main body well. They flew together, at the same
speed, without any noise. (...) The UFO was 100 m away from the
witnesses. It was a good night, the full moon illuminated the landscape.
One could clearly distinguish these flying bodies, which, seven minutes
later, disappeared in the northwest. (February 1974)

Description: (Translated from French) Mrs. A., who
lived alone in an isolated house in the middle of the woods, was
watching television. Having heard a clanking noise at the entrance, and
thinking it was stray dogs, she took her gun, only to scare them. She
thus headed towards the door and turned on the outside light. Instead of
a dog, she found herself face to face, two meters away, with a
simian-looking, hairy creature two meters and twenty centimeters tall.
The giant raised his hands above his head. Frightened, the woman shot,
thinking he was going to throw himself at her. To her great surprise, he
simply disappeared in a burst of light. (...) Her son-in-law, who lived
with his wife and children in a trailer 300 meters away, had heard the
gunshot. Immediately armed with a 6-shot revolver, he went to his
mother-in-law's residence. Approaching, he saw at the edge of the woods
"four or five furry shadows". It was a terrifying sight: simian-looking
beings two meters tall, with long arms "with glowing eyes like embers".
He fired two shots, then ran to his mother-in-law's house. Looking out
the window, they both saw at a hundred and fifty meters from them a
bright red light motionless above the woods. It looked like a Christmas
tree ornament or the rotating beacon of a police car. Panicked, they
called the police [note from vog: who came and found no trace..]

Description: Late evening. A woman watching TV in rural
Fayette County near Uniontown, Pennsylvania, hears a “rattling of tin
cans” on her porch. She grabs and loads a shotgun, turns on the porch
light, and steps into the doorway of the porch, where she encounters a
7-foot-tall apelike creature with its hands raised in the air. She fires
into his midsection and it “just disappeared in a flash of light.” Her
son-in-law, who lives in a trailer 100 feet away, hears the shot, grabs
a revolver, and heads for her house. Along the way, he sees “shadows of
four or five hairy people” who approach him. They have “fire red eyes
that glowed in total darkness.” About 1,500 feet away, a red, flashing
light hovers above the trees. Investigating police arrive and find no
tracks but notice that the animals seem terrified. The son-in-law tells
investigator Stan
Gordon that he had encountered a similar apelike creature in
November 1973.

school in Vălenii de Munte, Romania, watch two yellow-orange spheres
above a hill to the southwest of town. After 10 seconds, they merge into
one object and take the form of an elongated oval with an orange dome.
It begins moving slowly toward the west-southwest, then accelerates and
disappears behind the treeline after 40 seconds. Fresh marks are found
in a plowed field at the site where the object was seen.

Description: Sunset. Mullah Umar Siddiq, merchant
Ibrahim Khaleb, and physician Muhammad Watif are standing on the roof of
the Al-Hud Mosque in Al Mukalla, Yemen, when they see three large white
discs gliding slowly downward. They gather some provisions, hire three
camels, and head for the Wadi Jawlan 32 miles to the east, where they
estimate the objects have landed. At dawn, they dismount to say prayers,
and a vivid glow lights up the eastern sky above the Wadi Jawlan for a
few seconds. The light is yellowish-white and comes from three beams
that are stabbing upwards and fanning out into the sky. Although the
light dies down, the beams are still visible, eventually growing paler.
They find deep, clear-cut tracks of caterpillar-track vehicles all over
the rugged area. At three places, about 325 feet apart, they find
numerous scoop marks, about 33 inches wide, in an area in the form of a
triangle with sides 17 feet wide. The rock has been fused and melted and
the grass and thorn-scrub is burnt.

Description: On this evening at Wadi Jawlan in Yemen
east of Al-Makalla, three Arab men saw three large white disc-shaped
objects glide toward ground and land in the nearby desert. When on the
ground a bright light and three beams of light were directed upward into
the sky. The objects stayed on the ground for several hours. Later at
the landing site investigators found three imprints, each 85 cm wide,
arranged in a triangle with sides 5.3 meters in length. The vegetation
was also burnt. On the same evening at 7:30 p.m. a glowing domed disc
was sighted in Douvrin, France just 15 meters above the ground. It
vanished, then reappeared.

Description: That same night David Swanner of Shores
Community, Tennessee claims he was invited by two "men" to ride in a
UFO. In a few moments after accepting their invitation they flew over
San Francisco, then the Hawaiian Islands. His round trip excursion took
only 45 minutes. The purpose of their presence, he was told, was to warn
of the "possible destruction of Solar System by atomic bombs." The
UFOnauts were between four and five feet tall, wore white coveralls, and
had long, pointed chins, with tall foreheads and small eyes, ears, and
noses. They claimed that their lifespan was between 125-175 years. Mr.
Swanner was instructed to inform the public. He claims to possess proof,
but it "cannot now be revealed." This was his third close encounter with
the aliens.

Description: 4:25 a.m. Two brothers are transporting
their parents’ furniture in a U-Haul truck near Ely, Nevada, when they
notice a round, orange object that paces them, then approaches. They
feel as though they are “hit by a blast of wind or force field.” The
engine and lights give out, the steering goes, and the truck seems to
momentarily float, come back down, and coast to a stop. Ahead of them,
just over a hill, they see a large, round object with a domed top and
wings. The other object approaches again. One brother points a
flashlight at it, whereupon they both get an intense feeling of
isolation that lasts about 20 minutes. Since the truck appears to be
damaged, they flag down a passing car and call for a tow truck. When the
tow truck hauls it away, the rear wheels fall off. It needs new tires, a
rear axle, outside housing, and gears.

Description: Two brothers were moving some of their
possessions in a truck near Ely, Nevada. At around 4:15 a.m. the engine
of the truck began missing and the lights flickered, so they shifted
into neutral. They then felt a blast of wind shake the truck and saw an
orange colored light moving low to the ground from right to left. They
stopped the truck and saw six different lights or objects surrounding
them: three blue stationary lights, a red pulsating light, a silver

directly at the truck, passed close by, and continued on behind them.
After the objects had finally disappeared, they found the rear axle on
the truck broken in half.

Description: (Translated from French) M. Laporte, a
postman in Montcuq, left his farm at "Borde Haute" at 9:10 PM and saw an
object flying from left to right, like a bus with 5 or 6 portholes on
the side and two headlights in the front projecting two long beams of
light to the right. The light from the portholes was bright and
multicolored: yellow-blue-green. Rays of light were emanating from the
portholes, directed obliquely towards the ground and illuminating the
gorse and juniper that dotted the moor. The beams of light from the
front were still visible. Suddenly the witness saw nothing. No sound.
Altitude 200 to 300 m. Length of the object: 14 to 20 m. (February 21,

Description: French radio journalist Jean-Claude
Bourret interviews French Defense Minister Robert
Galley for his France Inter radio program, OVNIs: Pas de panique!
Galley says his department has been interested in UFO reports since the
French wave of 1954. Ministry records contain many baffling radar/visual
cases. He speaks of the strong quality of the evidence and that people
must regard UFOs with a “completely open mind.” The mass of UFO reports
“from the airborne gendarmerie, from the mobile gendarmerie, and from
the gendarmerie charged with conducting investigations,” all of which
are forwarded to CNES, would make people see that it is “pretty
disturbing.”

Location: FRANCE, Sauvagny (Allier)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 11pm a
fairly thick fog forced Jean-Michel Lartigaud and his wife Marie-Thérèse
to drive at about 60 km/h. At Sauvagny the fog dissipated and visibility
became perfect. "At the same moment, I felt a great cold that froze me
from head to foot, followed by a shiver like I had never felt before. In
front of me, to the right of the road and 3 to 4 m below, I saw an
enormous luminous object, which seemed to be resting on the ground.
Instinctively I slowed down, shaking my wife who was dozing. It looked
like a cylinder 8m high and 3m in diameter at the top and slightly
narrower at the base. I could not detect any solid structure. It was
perfectly still. The top was made up of a kind of camembert box lid 3m
in diameter and 1m thick. It emitted a dry light of extraordinary power,
almost bluish white, but this light did not radiate. Under the lid a
luminous cone evoked frosted glass. On the ground, the base was not
clearly defined. Everything remained dark around this object whose sharp
outlines contrasted sharply with the black of the night. "Go away, get
away quickly," Marie-Thérèse ordered, feeling a sense of danger. Almost
immediately the fog raised a cottony wall in front of the car
headlights

Location: Canada, camp 731 (80 km NE of Baie
Comeau)
Description: (Translated from French) (source: "Le Bois
Vert" No. 2 vol. 10, March-April 1974) "An extraordinary event is said
to have occurred at 731 in the night of February 26th. It should be
mentioned that on several occasions before this date, Koehring operators
would have seen in the sky of 731, a strange object, like a very large
star, of an even greater luminosity. After remaining motionless, this
"thing" quickly disappeared from their view. But according to several
employees of this camp, what happened during the night of February 26th,
around 4 o'clock in the morning, is much more surprising! J.S.L., who
told us this strange fact himself, was traveling in a truck with his
work companion F.B. and the "thing" suddenly appeared to them at a
distance so close that they were frightened and called for help to the
camp by radio. According to these two eyewitnesses, the craft stopped
nearby, and they stopped their truck. They could no longer use the radio
because the interference made it unusable. For at least 20 minutes, this
mysterious apparition remained there, motionless, at the height of the
treetops. "It must have been at least 30 feet long," J.S.L. told us. A
blinding light prevented them from distinguishing the shape of this
unknown craft, but they saw a green light on top. As for the rest, it
was rather oval in shape, very bright yellow and incandescent red in the
center. To finish the story, a car with J.P.L. and P.G. on board left
the camp in response to the call they had received. Unable to
communicate with the occupants of the truck, they suspected that
something not very nice was happening and accelerated. When they arrived
at the scene of the "appearance", these last ones saw the object
sparkling with all its lights, which immediately described a large
circle and disappeared like a flash in the firmament. This account of
Mr. S.L. is supported by at least five other employees who were
witnesses of this apparition. (...) " (February 26, 1974)

Description: On a highway one mile east of LaTrobe,
Tasmania two witnesses, Thornton and Lamprey, sighted an orange colored
UFO with a dome on top at 9:45 p.m. It was either disc shaped or delta
shaped with three rounded corners, and it paced their vehicle. The
object was about the size of a car. When they turned their car
headlights off, the UFO responded by rapidly approaching. Their
encounter lasted three minutes.

Location: FRANCE, Origny en Thiérache.
Description: (Translated from French) At 5:30 the
witness left his home on a moped to go to work. He had just crossed the
bridge over the Thon and was face to face with "two cosmonauts" and
noticed at the same time that he was stopped. The men were about 1.70m
tall and wore dark suits. They had a cubic helmet on their head, with an
opening in the face area, but in the darkness the witness could not make
out anything. They wore gloves covering their arms up to the shoulders.
He was astonished as he did not remember braking or stopping. On the
left side of the road, in a meadow below at 35m, he could make out a
large dark circular mass: there was no light or noise. The two figures,
facing the witness, firmly held the handlebars of the moped. The witness
was scared, especially as their gestures seemed to urge him to eat
something. The witness was panicked. One of the beings made a sign to
his companion who started rummaging in a kind of bag he was carrying on
his back: he took out a small piece of substance (1 cm²) which he
presented to the witness, urging him to eat it. He ate it. It was brown,
like chocolate, soft in consistency, without taste. As soon as he had
swallowed the material, the figures stepped aside and the witness was
able to leave.

Description: (Translated from French) At 10:17 PM, the
witness was watching television when he saw through the window a large
row of circular portholes topped at the front by another row of
teardrop-shaped portholes, suggesting the curve of a more or less curved
surface. The portholes seemed to go all the way around the craft, but
this change in shape happened suddenly, all at once. They emitted a
fixed light exactly like that of a sodium vapor trail. The witness went
outside and heard an unusual sound like the amplitude and frequency
modulation of an electric motor whose speed was suddenly changed. The
witness wanted to go and inspect the area but his wife held him back.

Description: (Translated from French) Dirant Mello
Ferraz, 18 years old, at his home, suddenly finds himself elsewhere:
transported from the kitchen to a small square room without an opening.
A voice coming from the ceiling tells him not to be afraid. On the empty
wall a door appears and opens to let a large egg-shaped object pass
through. From this egg emerges a human: the witness's double! It has the
consistency of human flesh and even has Dirant's voice, then the double
disappears through the wall. A television screen materializes and Dirant
sees his double at home: he is being rude to his entourage. From 7:30 PM
on February 28th to the next day March 1st at the same time Dirant
remains facing his double, not aware of the passing of time, his watch
having stopped, fascinated by his double who was crossing the wall. When
he was bored, books and magazines materialized. (1974, February 28th to

Description: The witness was motorcycling to work in
Hirson, France at 5:30 in the morning when his motorcycle stopped
suddenly in Origny en Thierache, and he found himself face to face with
two beings he described as "cosmonauts" standing in the road. The two
men grabbed his motorbike and and held on to it firmly. They were
dressed in dark coveralls with square helmets, and sleeve-length
gauntlets, but it was too dark to see their features through their
helmet visors. They wore sleeve-length gauntlets, and one being gestured
to the other, who brought out from a bag on his back a small piece of
substance resembling chocolate; this he presented to the witness, urging
him by gestures to eat it. The witness did so, but to his surprise it
had no noticeable taste. They then moved off and let him pass. About 100
feet to the right side of the road he had saw a large, dark circular
mass about six feet high, sitting directly on the ground. , where traces
of crushed grass were later found.

Description: In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil a man reported
that he was home alone at 7:30 p.m., standing in his kitchen, when he
suddenly was transported to a square room with no apparent doors or
windows. A loud voice emanated from a box-like device in the corner of
the room which told him to remain calm. A door then appeared in the wall
across from him, then the door opened and a large dark, oval-shaped
"apparatus" emerged. The apparatus came towards him and a yellow light
came down from the top of it, illuminating him. From out of the
oval-shaped machine emerged a figure that was an exact replica of the
witness. This double spoke to the witness and told him that he did not
intend to harm him or anybody else. This being then disappeared through
one of the walls. A large TV like screen then appeared. The witness
could see the actions of his double through this screen and was directed
to assist him with his voice. He was finally released and the aliens
apparently recalled his double. The aliens told the witness that they
were here to help humanity.

Location: FRANCE, Nogaro
Description: (Translated from French) At around 3:00 in
the morning, the witness was driving from Nogaro. He was driving at 90
km/h when the engine of his vehicle stopped on its own. Trembling, the
witness saw a being standing there. It was small, about 90 cm, and green
in color. Its arms were so long that he couldn't make out its hands. On
the top of its head it had pointed ears. Its eyes were very black.
Turning its back to the witness, the being headed towards the ditch and
descended into it. Only the upper half of its body remained visible.
When it finally looked at the witness, he felt a wave, followed by two
more very close together. Scared, the witness looked away. Shortly
after, his engine started up again. He turned around and returned to
Nogaro, where he arrived without noticing anything unusual. He wouldn't
reveal anything about his adventure until 1977.

Locations: Malmstrom AFB Romeo Flight missile alert
facility near Brady, Montana; Romeo-29 launch facility
Description: About 9:00 p.m. A missile launch officer
with the 564th Strategic Missile Squadron is on watch at the Malmstrom
AFB Romeo Flight missile alert facility near Brady, Montana, when both
the outer and inner alarms go off. A security alert team arrives and
sees a large, brilliantly self-illuminated object hovering above the
Romeo-29 launch facility. Suddenly, the missile starts a countdown. The
officer quickly flips the inhibit switch, which puts the system offline.
Then the system spontaneously restarts and the missile goes into launch
mode again, followed by an inhibit order that does not work. But the
launch code is false and the missile remains in its pad. Meanwhile, the
UFO moves away straight up at high speed. An F-106 interceptor attempts
unsuccessfully to reach it, and Malmstrom AFB radar tracks the UFO.
Later he learns that the ground electronics in Romeo-29 are fried as if
from a surge.

Description: A large self-illuminated object hovers
above the Romeo-29 launch facility at the Malmstrom AFB Romeo Flight
missile alert facility near Brady, MT. A missile launch officer with the
564th Strategic Missile Squadron reports a nuclear missile countdown is
started, and the officer flips the “inhibit” switch to turn the system
offline. The system then restarts spontaneously and the missile again
goes into launch mode; the officer’s next “inhibit” order doesn’t work.
Fortunately, the launch code is false and the missile remains in its
pad.
The UAP then moves away from Romeo-29 vertically at high speed. An F-106 attempts to intercept but is unsuccessful and Malmstrom AFB radar tracks the UAP. Electronics in Romeo-29 are fried from an electric surge. This event occurred at a time when the USAF was referring Congress and the American public to the findings of Project Blue Book, which concluded UAP were not a national security threat. The Romeo-29 event very clearly was a threat to national security and nuclear war.

Description: At 6:30 p.m. a single witness, Mr.
Blandiniere, watched a luminous cigar-shaped object with tapered ends
for 10 minutes in the countryside of Saint-Jean-du-Falga, Ariege,
France. At a farm in Lapenne, Ariege, France at 7:45 p.m. two strong
one-meter light-beams, 12 meters apart, were seen over a hill about 500
meters away. A blue glow illuminated the countryside. There were five
witnesses: Mrs. Corbalan, her young son Gerard, 19-year-old Odile,
22-year-old Mr. Corbalan, and Mr. Guy Monserat.

Description: A woman and her invalid husband were
sitting on their front porch enjoying the spring weather on this
afternoon near Millington, Tennessee when something in the sky caught
their attention. They saw five saucer-shaped objects about two feet in
diameter that moved at a low altitude slowly through the sky. They
floated leisurely over a field across the road from their house and
settled down in the midst of a herd of cows some five hundred yards
away. Only one cow paid any attention to the small discs. It acted
offended by the intrusion and turned and walked towards one of the mini
UFOs. The object rose up, flew over the cow, and settled down again
behind the cow. Each time the cow attempted to approach it would simply
rise up, pass over the cow and settle down on the other side. The
woman's husband became upset. He went and got his rifle and started
hobbling out toward the field. The wife saw one of the objects fly very
close to her husband's head and then rejoin the others as they flew
away. By that time her husband had reached the fence and was standing
still. His hands were down at his sides, the rifle clutched in one of
them. When she got to him he was icy cold and shivering. All he could
say was that one of the objects had "flashed" him with a bright light.
She helped him back up to the house and he went inside to lie down on a
daybed. He stayed there the rest of the day and said nothing more. The
next morning the woman looked out and saw the cow lying dead next to a
pond. Two weeks later her husband also died. The doctor said he had died
of a heart attack.

Description: At eight o'clock in the evening three
observers saw a nearby hillside illuminated by a bright yellow light in
Vesta Community, Virginia. A red luminous object was then seen ascending
from the site. The object, about the size of a Volkswagen, hovered
approximately 300 feet above the hill and went through a series of right
angle turns, then headed south toward Stuart, Virginia. Billy Wayne
Plasters and Richard N. Clifton drove to the landing site by truck and
observed the silhouette of a "big, tall, heavyset man" approach from a
lighted area. They called out and got no answer. Frightened, they jumped
back into their truck and fled. The light on the hillside disappeared a
few minutes later. Next day, patches of charred vegetation were found at
the site covering a large area. Other people in the vicinity reported
seeing strange lights that same night, and hearing unexplained
noises.

Description: (Translated from French) At 9 pm, Mr.
Pasquier and his wife were occupied watching television at a neighbor's
house, Mrs. Lalande. Suddenly their gaze was drawn to the kitchen window
by an extraordinary blue light, turning green, yellow, then red.
Intrigued, they rushed outside and thus saw a strange "composite"
object. It was formed of two balls connected by a kind of blue neon
tube. The first ball, orange in color, was bigger than the following
green one. The object ended with a kind of shadow sprinkled with small
colored dots. The craft moved silently at a constant speed (approx. 80
km/h) at a relative altitude of 25 to 100 meters and at a distance of
about 150 meters from the witnesses. The length of the object was
estimated at 2 or 3 meters. The observation ended with the disappearance
of the object behind buildings.

about 150 m away, an elongated object resembling a "micheline" that was
projecting a strong orange light so bright it illuminated a nearby
house. A few moments later the witness saw the object slowly rise and
take on the successive shapes of a crescent and then a ball (the size of
a tractor wheel). No sound.

Description: (Translated from French) Mr. D. was
driving his 2CV between 12:30 and 1:00 in the Tarbes region. He was
surprised by a red light: I saw on my right (...) about 400 or 500 m
away a red-orange ball the size of the sun. I think this ball was quite
high above the ground, without being able to specify. It was moving
north towards Rabasten while getting closer to my car. (...) This ball
was for a moment facing my vehicle. (...) At that moment, it took on a
more oval shape, like a rugby ball. This ball was so bright, in front
and around me, that I could see as if it were broad daylight. While it
was at the height of my car, it no longer pulled, it had misfires, it
did not move despite my acceleration - and this over a distance of at
least fifty meters. When this ball so to speak turned in front of me on
the national 21 (N 21), it had lost some altitude while still keeping
the same color, but this ball was becoming bigger and bigger, that is to
say it must have reached 2 m in diameter. I did not hear any noise
(...). I was very scared. (...) I add that (...) I saw a second one,
smaller, of a bright red. It was roughly at the same height as the first
one. From these balls came a very powerful light and rays that blinded
me. Mr. D.'s eyes will be red and tearful for 2 days. Several witnesses
saw that night in the region powerful lights or luminous balls. (0 h

Description: (Translated from French) Early in the
morning, this woman, not disposed to believe in UFOs, saw a pulsing red
light at the height of the treetops, from which two beams emerged that
crossed her car from side to side, immobilizing the engine and producing
interference on the on-board radio. Shortly after, she received a
telepathic message, telling her to go on a certain road, which she did.
Again her engine stalled and the radio emitted strange noises. But this
time she saw four small humanoids, quickly coming towards her, each in a
small vehicle resembling a garden tiller, but moving quickly just above
the ground. One of the entities approached the car and telepathically
asked her to open the door. But when she opened one of the doors, all
four opened wide at the same time. The entity examined the woman's neck,
applying a small device that left five puncture marks. She was told that
thousands of their vessels had already visited the Earth for years.
Nearby was their mothership, while their planet of origin was called
"Omnius" or "Omnigus." They added that they had examined thousands of
people, but not all had done so voluntarily. She was not to touch the
entities to prevent any contamination. She was also told that she might
have terrible headaches for several weeks after the contact. The
entities measured between 1m20 and 1m40, and wore helmets that masked
their features. However, small eyes could be seen shining. They wore
uniforms and a belt with a symbol made of wavy vertical lines.

he looked up and saw on the roadside bank, only 10 feet from their car,
the silhouettes of three persons with long arms, bending forward. They
appeared "smooth" and no clothing was seen. The witness at once backed
up and got out of the road; then his fiancé called his attention to a
pyramid-shaped luminous object which was just taking off from a spot
about 400 feet away. It had a brilliant yellow base separated by a black
band from an orange point area; the point was directed diagonally
downwards. Once the object was in the air it suddenly disappeared. The
car's radio went out as the object took off. A search the next day found
no traces.

Description: A man was sleeping in his van in Metairie,
Louisiana after visiting a friend when he awoke at six o'clock in the
morning to see a silver disc-shaped object hovering above a house across
the street. It made no noise at all. His next memory was of getting out
of the van. Later he had vague memories of sitting in some type of cold
silvery metallic chair and having several "people" standing around him.
He remembered that the "aliens" told him not to be afraid, and that
someday they would be back. He could not recall anything else.

Description: At 3:30 a.m. Cristobal Munoz Romero, a
driver for the President of the Cadiz, Spain City Council, was driving
through a foggy area five kilometers from the Rota Naval Airbase near
Sanlucar de Barrameda when he saw a metallic white light above and to
the right of his car. It advanced to within 10 meters of the road and
then, seconds later, he saw the silhouette of a human looking being more
than 2 meters tall next to the road. The being appeared to be wearing a
diver suit from which projected a bright, cylindrical, solid like
coherent beam of light from the front part of the collar. The light
could lengthen and shrink. As the car passed by the entity the engine
began to fail and the automobile was "shaking like a leaf" in a very
strong wind. The witness sped up and, in fear, quickly left the
site.

Location: SPAIN, between Horcajo and Lagunilla
Description: (Translated from French) On the night of
March 20, Maximiliano Sanchez was driving his truck when he noticed a
very bright light in the middle of the road, about 600 m ahead of him
(...) completely blinded, Sanchez was forced to stop on the side of the
road. The light eventually dimmed and Sanchez was able to continue in
his direction, but when he was only about 200 m away, his headlights
went out and his engine stopped. He then discovered that he had a
magnificent flying saucer in front of him, about 12 meters in diameter,
silver metallic in color, perfectly smooth, without any rivets or
openings, resting on three rounded feet and lit from below. He then saw
a second saucer that remained stationary in flight like a helicopter,
above and to the right of the first. Two creatures of human appearance
wearing shiny suits were making gestures (...) and seeing Sanchez's
truck, they got back into the saucer which rose about ten meters,
placing itself next to the other craft at the same height. Seeing that
the road was clear and his headlights were on, Sanchez tried to start
the engine which turned on the first try. (...) he stopped, turned off
his headlights, got out of the truck to see what was going to happen.
The first saucer had descended to the ground. (...) scared, Sanchez went
home. (...) The next day, March 21, he went to Lagunilla and arrived
there around 11:15 pm. (...) Instead of two, there were now three
saucers, one of them on the road and four humanoids. (...) [note from
vog: same scenario with slight variations, and to my knowledge Spanish
ufologists do not talk about this extraordinary observation]

Description: Becky Ingram, age 14, heard "voices" in
her head several times beginning on March 9th. On this afternoon she
compulsively walked out into the center of her school football field in
Lewisburg, Tennessee instead of taking the school bus home. Although she
recalls seeing nothing in the field, she next remembers finding herself
inside a brightly lit room as a ramped door closed behind her. She was
confronted by two small humanoid entities, shorter than her. They had
blond, short cropped hair and later identified themselves as "Alton" and
"Tombo." Becky was instructed to lie on a hospital-like bed where she
was examined by a gloved implement that was passed over her. She was
taken for an hour's trip "to Australia" and then returned. She felt weak
and sleepy, and for several weeks after this incident she was extremely
fatigued and suffered from headaches and other physical symptoms. She
had two more experiences over the next four months.

Description: Truck driver Maximiliano Iglesias Sanchez,
age 21, was driving to Algunilla, Spain when he encountered a blinding
white light on the road near Valdehijaderos at 2;15 a.m. When he was a
distance of 200 meters from the source of the light, his car headlights
and diesel engine went out. The 8 meter wide metallic UFO, now only
faintly luminous, stood of three half-meter long legs, was wider than
the road and had no visible openings. A second non luminous object
hovered some 16 meters above the ground to the right. Two beings
appeared in front of the landed object, and they gestured with their
arms. One went around the side of the UFO and returned, then both
disappeared to the right side and the object ascended making a humming
sound. The figures were human looking, 6 feet tall, and wore tight
fitting coverall type garments with a metallic hue. They appeared to
walk and move in a normal manner. Mr. Sanchez was unable to make out any
facial features. After he passed the site he looked back and saw that
one object had landed again on the road.

Description: Valdehijaderos, Spain - At 11:30 p.m. Mr.
Sanchez had a second encounter less than 24 hours after his first close
encounter, near the same site. Driving the same truck, he encountered
three "ships" on the ground, and again his motor and lights
malfunctioned. As before there were no openings in the UFO, but he saw
four men approach him on the road. He got out and ran, and the figures
pursued him. After running nearly 2 kilometers he threw himself into an
irrigation ditch and hid as the four men searched the area, but they
were unable to find him. After waiting a safe period of time, he
cautiously returned to his truck. The three objects were still there,
and his engine would not start. When he got into the cab and closed the
door the same four figures re-appeared, gesturing to each other. They
walked around the object and disappeared and it rose off the ground
slowly with a humming or whistling sound. The truck then started
normally. After passing the site, Mr. Sanchez saw that the third object
had again landed and he stopped and returned on foot, hiding about 9
meters away. He saw the figures digging into the roadside with a
T-shaped implement and a large horseshoe shaped tool. He could still
make out no facial features. After 3 minutes he left. A few days later
UFO investigators found radioactive traces and three 12-meter wide
circles of flattened grass in the area. Civil guard officers also found
traces.

Description: Night. A young man (pseudonym Harald
Andersson) comes out of the parish house in Markim, Stockholm County,
Sweden, when he hears a voice in his head telling him to follow a dark
forest road. Just after passing a small cottage, he sees two runestones
by the side of the path. Suddenly a blinding light knocks him to the
ground where he lies unconscious for a while, then wakes up on the
doorstep of his villa in Lindholmen, Vallentuna. His wife, disturbed by
his condition (bleeding from his forehead and a burn on his cheek),
takes him to Danderyds Hospital where hypnotherapist Ture
Arvidsson regresses him to the time of the incident (twice, on April
1 and May 20). He discovers that a beam of light has floated him up into
the air while tall, hooded figures touch his head with an unknown
device, saying they will meet again in the future. Extraordinary
abilities follow, including his ability to disrupt a compass needle, see
vibrant auras, and premonitions. The incident is apparently witnessed by
another man a short distance away. The Swedish Home Guard assigns 50 of
its personnel to work with 15 ufologists to examine the region. The
group reports a few odd lights in the sky.

photographs an odd object near Albiosc, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France.
The color image shows a red object like a domed disc and four bright,
beamlike extensions. UFO investigator Jean Bedet receives the slide
anonymously on April 14, with a note pinned to his car windshield when
he is visiting the town of Tavernes, Var. Bedet says his wife and others
had seen a similar object at 11:00 p.m. the same night. The consensus
among researchers in France is that the photo is a hoax perpetrated by
Bedet to confirm the visual sighting.

Description: At 12:20 a.m. a middle-aged man named
Vallentuna was walking home in Lindholmen, Sweden when at a crossroads
he mysteriously felt compelled to take an alternate route. Suddenly a
brilliant light blinded him. He threw himself in the snow but something
lifted him up to a height of 30 to 45 feet. He next found himself at
home with no recollection of how he got there. Under hypnosis he
recalled seeing four "transparent" beings who had grabbed him, and he
then was apparently studied by these beings inside a UFO. He suffered
from severe shock after the incident.

unconscious until he came to, on his own doorsteps. His wife, disturbed
by his condition and baffled by a mysterious burn on the side of his
face, sent him to the local Danderyds Hospital. There hypno-therapist
Dr. Ture Arvidsson put him under a hypnotic trance and regressed him to
the time of the incident. He related how a beam of light had floated him
up into the air, then some tall hooded figures touched his head with
somekind of unknown device, saying that they would meet him again in the

Description: (Translated from French) During an
observation evening, Mr. Bréchant and his brother-in-law Mr. Cosme, and
the child Patrice Bréchant, 11 years old, observed with the naked eye
and binoculars: A white luminous ball on the ground, whose contours
gradually became red. To the right of this ball, a series of 4 to 6
rectangles of a violent white light illuminated. With the binoculars,
Mr. Cosme observed a luminous ball which projected from its base a
triangular luminous beam, base coming from under the ball, point
oriented towards the witnesses. Mr. Cosme observed with the binoculars
two luminous silhouettes, stiff, seeming formed of two blocks and
disproportionate: elongated head, too small for enormously wide
shoulders. One of the silhouettes was behind the triangular beam
projected by the white ball, the other slid on the beam towards the
point and disappeared into the night. The one that remained near the
sphere had on the left a kind of satchel, it gradually diminished as if
it was collapsing and completely disappeared. The beam then went out and
then the ball. They left and after 10 minutes observed through the back

Iglesias sees a strange object like a plate placed above another large,
round object hovering above the highway in Valdehijaderos, Salamanca,
Spain, 650 feet away. Another object is 60 feet away. Two beings come
out of the first UFO, point to the truck, then go in again. Both objects
fly away. At 11:30 p.m., the same witness watches three silver ships
parked on the highway with a floodlight. He stops his engine as some
figures approach. He runs and they follow. They are about 6.5 feet tall,
with arms and legs, but he cannot see their faces. On March 27, the
Guardia Civil investigate and find a hole in the ground.

Valdehijaderos, Spain at 2:00 a.m. when he spotted a strange luminous
object like a plate placed above another large, round object hovering
motionless over the highway about 200 meters from the him. A similar
object, also motionless, was seen 15-20 meters away. Two beings came out
of the first vehicle, pointed to the observer's truck, then went inside
again, and both vehicles flew away. At 11:30 p.m. the same witness
witnessed "three silver ships parked on the highway with light similar
to floodlight." The observer stopped the motor of his car and some
figures approached him. He ran, frightened, and they followed him. They
were about two meters tall (6.5 feet). The next day the Guardia Civil
made an investigation. They found a hole in the ground, which the truck
driver said he had not made.

Locations: Fort George Island, Florida; Jacksonville,
Florida
Description: Antoine,
Jerri, and Terry Betz investigate a small brush fire near their
residence on Fort George Island, Florida, and come across a metal sphere
the size of a bowling ball and weighing 22 pounds. They think the sphere
could be a 16th-century cannonball and decide to take it home. Several
days later, while Terry is playing the guitar, the sphere seems to react
to the music and makes a throbbing noise. Later, the sphere rolls and
stops on its own and changes direction. The sphere makes a noise when
hit with a hammer, and Terry finds that it moves after being shaken and
placed on the ground. In 2012, an analysis by Skeptoid indicates that
the sphere is a ball check valve produced by the Bell & Howell
company. Its size, weight, and metallurgical composition match those of
the company’s check valves. The ball is almost perfectly balanced, and
it takes only a small stimulus to make it move or change direction. New
Mexico artist James Durling-Jones, who collects scrap metal for his
sculptures, remembers loading ball check valves into the rooftop luggage
rack of his Volkswagen van and driving through the Jacksonville,
Florida, area around Easter of 1971. A few of the balls rolled off the
luggage rack and were not retrieved. Skeptoid concludes that this is the
sphere’s origin.

Description: 1:45 a.m. A French vacationer and a local
female friend are lying on a sloping beach near Lomé, Togo, when they
hear a high-pitched whine and see an unlighted cylindrical object above
the ocean. It heads toward them on a level flight path until it gets to
500 feet away. It stops, and within moments a tidal wave washes over the
two witnesses. Wave after wave crash over them as they hold onto a
nearby tree. The UFO emits powerful beams of light, and the Frenchman
can see the waters parting in a deep trough. They remain paralyzed for
20 minutes until the UFO turns off its lights and flies out to sea. The
water surface returns to normal. Over the next few days, the man feels
strangely exhausted and has a ringing in his ears.

Description: (Translated from French) At 8:00 PM the
witness was escorting a friend with his wife and son. In the heart of
the Valensole plateau he saw an object on or very close to the ground.
This device in the shape of a small car was lit from the inside where
shapes seemed to move. (vog: ??? a small car on the ground is therefore
a UFO?) Very familiar with the night and day landscape, this phenomenon
seemed very unusual to him; Back in Valensole at 8:15 PM he no longer
saw anything. But from his in-laws' house, he could see the object
again. With his wife and son he could get as close as 500 or 800m,
stopping his car 2 km from Valensole, on the road to Manosque and
walking along a dirt path leading to the fields. He could not go any
further in the night. It was 8:30 PM.

was seen in Valensole, France. It had large wide windows and a
blue-green neon glow, and figures could be seen moving around inside it.
The principal witness, his wife, his son, and an 80-year-old woman all
saw the craft, and above it were seven vertical red lights. The object
appeared to be on the ground. From the house of the wife's parents, at
8:30 p.m. the man saw it again, and was able to approach, first in his
car and then on foot, to within 500 yards of it. Valensole is the site
of a famous July 1965 humanoid encounter, and there have been many other
close encounters from this location as well.

Description: A woman military staffer at the

a break-in has occurred the previous night. A guard suffers a nervous
breakdown, is taken to an unnamed hospital, and is not seen again.
Later, she hears a discussion in her supervisor’s office and describes
it to Nick
Redfern: “We have no way of keeping these beings out. We just don’t
know what to do next. If they can get in here, they can get in
anywhere.” She learns that the guard had seen an alien sifting through
files and papers. A blue light emanated from its helmet, and the being
dematerialized before the guard’s eyes.

other security personnel tell him that the only measures taken are “to
set up their M-60 machine guns, and that they were not to fire on the

sees the object lower a box, seemingly to take samples. Then the object
approaches the couple and they drive away quickly, but it follows them
for 47 miles. At 2:15 a.m., they pull into a Wigwam restaurant, where a
man rushes up to them and asks them, “What did you see in the sky?” He
denies having a CB radio, and talks in a strangely slow and choppy
manner. The man continues to bother them, so they drive away from the
Wigwam. Soon they are followed by some strange lights and an orange
ball. They stop the car where the road ends and see a “little man on a
little black object.” The lights follow them all the way home to
Findlay, Ohio.

got out of the car and noticed a car behind him stop. The driver,
normally dressed and with gray hair, approached and offered the witness
"proof" of his extraordinary powers by dematerializing a rock with a
small, hand held device. He then told the witness to he should save his
marriage, and promised subsequent "contacts."

Location: GERMANY, Hochheim (near Frankfurt)
Description: (Translated from French) (Case No.:
19740411 A) At 2 o'clock in the morning, four people in a car, including
Karl Heinz N., observed a disc-shaped object at a short distance and low
altitude which emitted a beam from some kind of projector. The beam
gradually widened, then retracted back into the projector. Suddenly, the
beam was emitted directly into the car after which it retracted back
into the object's projector. It was like a "solid" light. After this
outburst, the flying object accelerated and disappeared into the clouds.
While the witnesses thought they had observed the phenomenon for a
quarter of an hour, two full hours had actually passed.

Description: At 2:30 a.m. Virginia Varela was awakened
by a sound in her home near Santa Clara de Olimar, Argentina. When she
looked out the window she saw "an indefinite figure which seemed to be
covered by a light colored garment." It immediately disappeared. It left
footprints of feet wearing boots. Later on she noticed a light and heard
more noises. She next saw two shining points of light moving together
across the sky. On the following two nights there were again indications
that someone had been around the house, and the hum of a motor was
heard. Her cows panicked, and one was found dead.

Description: (Translated from French) At around 1:00
AM, Mauro Bellingeri and his wife Carla Farè were returning home in
their car when they saw a luminous object that stopped about 12 or 13
meters above the roof of their house. They stayed near the car and
observed it for a few minutes. It was absolutely silent and motionless.
There was a round cabin and they noticed the presence of 3 or maybe 4
helmeted beings inside and something near their mouths like a muzzle
(sic!). One of the helmets turned towards the witnesses and at that
moment there were 4 or 5 jets of flames under the craft. Carla ran
towards the house. Around the cabin there was another separate disc with
small red, green and yellow lights that were spinning slowly. There was
a kind of air displacement. The UFO started to move when this outer disc
began to spin faster, a whistling sound was heard, and it headed towards
Milan.

Description: 12:50 a.m. Mauro Bellingeri, 26, and his
wife Carla Farè, 23, are returning to their villa in Santa Maria del
Tempio, Alessandrino, Italy, when they notice a bright object that dives
abruptly toward them, stopping at a height of 40 feet above the villa.
The Bellingeris get out of the car to look at the motionless object. It
has a transparent dome and a central ring of revolving red, green, and
yellow lights. Inside the dome are three human- like beings with large,
round, opaque, grayish helmets. At the base of the headgear is a
hoselike apparatus. One being turns in their direction, then moves back.
All three beings then rotate in unison. At this point, 3–4 jets of flame
appear beneath the craft, the central portion begins to revolve rapidly,
and they hear a whistling sound and feel a blast of air. The UFO speeds
away, continuing to whistle.

Description: At around 12:50 a.m. a classic Italian
CE-III case that has defied explanation occurred in Santa Maria del
Tempio, Casale Monferrato, Piemonte district, Italy. Mauro Bellingeri
and his wife had just arrived home when a luminous disc-shaped object
came out of the sky at them, and then stopped over their house 40 feet
up. The craft had a central ring of revolving red, green, and yellow
lights that revolved around the cabin. The object made no sound as it
hovered there. The couple could see a round, clear, dome-shaped cabin on
the upper portion of the object that was 30 feet wide and six feet high.
Inside the cabin there were three seated beings who were visible,
wearing fishbowl or globe-shaped helmets. After several minutes of just
hanging silently in the sky, 4-5 jets of flame were emitted from the
underside of the craft, and the outer rim began to turn more rapidly.
The object started making a whistling sound. With a strong blast of air
that nearly knocked the witnesses down, the object then took off and
flew away.

Description: About 9:30 p.m. Ruth Currie and her
daughter Laurie see a bright light that seems to be only several hundred
feet from their house in Altamont, New York. Curious, they walk toward
it until they are within about 200 feet. An oval object is resting on
the roadway. It appears to have large windows in the top half, from
which comes a brilliant golden glow. Changes of contrast in this light
give them the impression that something is moving around within. Currie
sends her daughter to get a neighbor, Rose Curtis, and they return
shortly. Currie then retreats to her home and phones her husband, who
drops what he is doing and hurries over. He can see an object rising up.
It shifts speeds and accelerates out of sight. During the bulk of this
encounter, the neighborhood dogs are putting up a continuous volley of
barking. The next morning, the witnesses get together and go to the
site, where they find an area of burned grass 50–75 feet in
diameter.

Location: FRANCE, Hostum (Drôme)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 1
o'clock in the morning, Anne Ruchon returns from the ball with her
fiancé Jean Louis Rimet. They are in a car. Suddenly they see a yellow
mass emerge, which descends quickly and lands in a meadow about 500 m
away at the place called "Les Lydes". "We felt a strange feeling. After
2 to 3 minutes the light disappeared and we saw four night lights: three
yellow and one red. The silhouette of the device was cut out like a kind
of disk topped with a milky dome. For a few seconds I was able to see
three shadows moving inside. Then this part went out too. At this moment
a powerful spotlight came on and began to sweep the horizon in complete
rotations, sometimes stopping in one direction. We heard a faint humming
like that of an engine at idle. At one point the spotlight stopped in
our direction. We were scared and left without waiting any longer." When
she arrived home Anne woke up her parents so they could watch the show,
perfectly visible from the house. The spotlight illuminates a house
located about 2 km away. After observing it for an hour, the witnesses
go to bed. Anne has pain in her eyes and can't fall asleep. (GARREAU and
LAVIER: "Face aux extra-terrestres" - DELARGE 1975 - J'ai Lu, p. 67) IN
REALITY: The farmer, Mr. Juven, late in his work, sowed corn from 8:30
pm to 3 o'clock in the morning. The witnesses will have seen his tractor
in operation.
