Important Notes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

This website is created automatically using a C++ command line tool called “ufojson”. It parses the raw text and Markdown source data to JSON format, which is then converted to a single large web page using pandoc. This tool's source code and all of the raw source and JSON data is located here on github.

Date: Early 1970's
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.

Torbitt claims DISC’s offices are at 3990 East Broad Street, Columbus, OH and Redstone Arsenal.

He claims DISC includes the security division of NASA and includes awareness among a tight group of key personnel including J. Edgar Hoover, Wernher Von Braun, William Sullivan, Clay Shaw, and former FBI employee Guy Bannister. It is alleged Permindex is aware of advanced UAP projects and protects them with surveillance and intimidation, and possibly, assassination.

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.

Event 27117 (C85B7258)

Date: 1/7/1970
Location: Imjärvi, Finland
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.

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.

Event 27125 (E26A2FD1)

Date: 1/21/1970
Location: New York City
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.

Event 27190 (A2C13E91)

Date: 3/28/1970
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.

Event 27210 (84A9469D)

Date: 4/15/1970
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.

Date: 4/29/1970
End date: 4/30/1970
Locations: Lake Anten, Västra Götaland, Sweden; Enebacken; Gothenburg, 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.

Location: Washington, D.C.
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.

Date: 6/1970
Location: Emerald Beach, New South Wales
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.

Event 27267 (59115D39)

Date: 6/4/1970
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: 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.

Description: 3:00 a.m. A 33-year-old Port Monmouth, New Jersey, housewife wakes up and sees a “big round ball” with an “eerie white glow” hovering over the meadows across the street. She watches it 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.

Event 27304 (09E1CCEC)

Date: 7/4/1970
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: President Nixon makes it clear that he wants a major effort against domestic dissidents. At an Oval Office meeting in June with the Inter Agency Committee on Intelligence (H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, Tom Charles Huston, J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Helms, Adm. Noel Gaynor, and Lt. Gen. Donald W. Bennett), Nixon hears suggestions for expanded mail openings, 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.

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.

Location: Prescott, Arizona
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.

Event 27364 (C2376AD2)

Date: 8/15/1970
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.

Event 27368 (5F921CD8)

Date: 8/16/1970
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.

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.

Event 27376 (99104C30)

Date: 8/20/1970
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.

The two men were dressed in glowing orange suits from head to foot with only their faces uncovered. Their skin was yellowish. Their headgear was conical and they were carrying a disc-like object over their heads. They stood about five feet 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 the witnesses. As the witnesses boarded a bus, one of the beings extended his arm upward. At this point they were able to see that the figure was wearing a cape.

Event 27392 (672E5A06)

Date: 8/30/1970
Description: At 11:30 a.m. a seven-year-old girl in Vincennes, Indiana saw a metallic disc in the east-northeastern sky hovering over Wheatland Road and reported it to her parents. Her father went outside and also saw the object. He re-entered the house to get his 7x50 binoculars, and when he emerged the object had moved closer. He described it as about a quarter of a mile away, looking like "a garbage can lid with a piece of watermelon on top" (more like a squared-off "coning tower") and about 30 feet in diameter. The man believes that others should have seen it, too, because it was so low. He, his wife, and daughter observed it for a minute and a half before it left in a swooping dive to the north-northeast.

Event 27405 (0F2C26C2)

Date: 9/7/1970
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.

Event 27429 (A89A3F60)

Date: 9/25/1970
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: 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.

Event 27470 (051363D2)

Date: 10/29/1970
Location: 2 miles east of Helleland, Rogaland, Norway
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.

Description: 10:30 p.m. Stewart Wilkinson and his wife are driving on the Trans-Canada Highway just west of Pense, Saskatchewan, when they see an disc-shaped object with a beam of light extending down to the road. It follows his car about 20 feet to the right at an altitude of 10–15 feet. At one point it moves ahead and 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 away and almost on the ground. Wilkinson slows down and comes to a stop, 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.

Description: 9:00 p.m. Albert Formiller is fishing for 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.

Description: 6:30 p.m. A 17-year-old student at Oizumi 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 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.

Event 27529 (23247618)

Date: 12/24/1970
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.

Event 27539 (3032F24B)

Date: 1/1971
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.

Event 27540 (88641330)

Date: 1/1971
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.

Event 27549 (F235A66F)

Date: 1/3/1971
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.

NICAP investigator Walter N. Webb visits the lake on January 10 and reports that the hole “was formed by a rather sudden melting process.”

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.

Event 27592 (3338FAFE)

Date: 2/5/1971
Description: On this afternoon two young men, P. Aliranta and E. J. Sneck, were working in the woods in Kangaskyla, 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.

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.

Event 27621 (11E66103)

Date: 3/5/1971
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.

Event 27624 (3D1A62A5)

Date: 3/14/1971
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.

Date: 3/25/1971
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.

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.

Event 27650 (94074688)

Date: 4/14/1971
Description: At around 8:00 p.m. Marion L. and Dennis D., an engaged couple, were driving near Evans City, Pennsylvania when 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.

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.

Event 27688 (9857E3BA)

Date: 5/15/1971
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.

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.

Event 27707 (25399FFD)

Date: 5/24/1971
Location: first-floor dental office of Walter Griehl on 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.

Location: Caribbean Sea
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.

Date: 6/5/1971
Description: In 1971 an airliner crew reported sighting four metallic cigar-shaped objects, each about 6 meters in length, flying rapidly toward the west. The objects passed only 90 meters away from the aircraft, and left no contrails. Ground radar confirmed their presence. At 10:30 p.m. a man saw three lights-red, white and blue-land among some trees two miles from Norwood, Tasmania. They then took off in a flash the color of a skyrocket. Landing traces were found at the sight, including a 10-foot wide irregularly shaped flattened area.

Event 27742 (393FC881)

Date: 6/9/1971
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: Alain G. was tent camping with three adolescent boys in a grotto about ten kilometers from Rocamadour, Lot 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.

Event 27801 (692FD060)

Date: 7/12/1971
Description: At 11:00 p.m. Gaetan Paquin, a young man in his twenties, was just arriving home in Notre-Dame-Du-Nord, Quebec when a white object flew over the road. He next saw "a completely white being of human form, with a pointed nose, slanted eyes, and a little puckered mouth" standing near him. He saw the being in profile. "His 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.

Event 27839 (8F00E7E8)

Date: 8/1/1971
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.

Date: 8/11/1971
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.

Date: 8/12/1971
Description: Three women at a camp in Himbleton, near Droitwich, England heard a roaring sound and thought that it was a plane that was going to crash.
