| |
| 1896 - Many witnesses in Red Bluff, California witnessed a light |
| maneuvering in the sky for several minutes at 7:00 p.m. In Visalia, |
| California several observers saw a "vessel" in the sky moving at the |
| speed of a train; it moved up-and-down and left-and-right, and |
| departed quickly to the northwest. At 11:30 p.m. two witnesses in |
| Tacoma, Washington watched a flying object beam vari-colored rays of |
| light in all directions. It then flew to the southeast and examined |
| the Mount Rainier mountain peak. (Sources: Oakland Tribune, November |

| his stock and there he saw a man about five feet tall, with wide |
| shoulders and a narrow waist. He shouted at the man but got no |
| response. His dog was shaking with fright at the sight of the strange |
| figure. Aldridge then drove off to get the police, but when they |
| returned they could find no one. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1965-67, citing |

| but the creature kept up with his car. He had been close to the area |
| of the TNT dumpsite in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. That same night |
| Mary Myer, a newspaper reporter, saw the red eyes of "Mothman" when |
| she visited the abandoned power plant in Point Pleasant, West |
| Virginia where it had been seen before. (Sources: UPI, November 25, |

| 1967 - At 2:30 p.m. Sr. Ugo Battaglia, a radio technician, and his |
| 14-year-old assistant Carlos Alberto do Nascimento, were in an eighth |
| floor apartment building repairing a phonograph in Rio de Janeiro, |
| Brazil when they heard a high-pitched sound. They looked out a window |
| facing the coastal hills and saw a brilliant metallic disc-shaped |
| object. It landed on a hill opposite the apartment building. The UFO |
| struck and shattered a tree as it came down. Underneath at either end |
| was a red light, and on top was a spinning cupola with slat windows. |
| Three men clad in white coveralls came out of the UFO, which hovered |
| just above the ground. They walked around it side by side with their |
| arms hanging by their sides. After about five minutes they returned |
| to the disc and disappeared underneath it. The two witnesses |
| continued their work and left the building at 2:55 p.m., noticing |
| that the disc was still in the same spot, but by the time they |
| reached a nearby corner the UFO was no longer in view. They had not |
| seen it depart. (Sources: Irene Granchi, APRO Bulletin, |
| November-December 1967, p. 3; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |

| the west. (Source: Ted R. Phillips, FSR Case Histories, December |
| 1971, p. 10). |
| |
| 1968 - On this evening five teenagers in Southall Ridge, near Ripley, |
| West Virginia saw a 150 foot in diameter domed disc over a house. It |
| landed in a nearby field, and was shot at. It dodged bullets from a |
| .22 caliber rifle. The first bullet made a "whomp" sound, like it had |
| hit a solid object, but the later bullets had no reported effect. |
| (Sources: Bob Teets, West Virginia UFOs: Close Encounters in the |
| Mountain State, p. 87; Richard F. Haines, CE-5: Close Encounters of |
| the Fifth Kind, p. 123). |
| |
| 1970 - 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. (Sources: Irene Granchi, APRO Bulletin, November-December |
| 1970, p. 3; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case 1970-19, citing Irene Granchi, APRO).  |
| |
| 1970 -  That same evening two men in Centralia, Illinois had nearly |
| identical experiences with a UFO while driving home. At 5:45 p.m. Sam |
| Alli saw a glowing white-and-yellow globe hovering in the sky. It was |
| fuzzy at first but then became perfectly clear. It began to move in |
| circles, then rapid spurts. It slowed to a complete stop when he |
| turned into his driveway. The second witness, Larry Peterson, next |
| reported a similar experience. (Sources: Skylook, January 1971, p. 1; |
| Mrs. K. Smith, BUFORA Journal, August 1971, p. 21; Jay Rath, The |
| I-Files: True Reports of Unexplained Phenomena in Illinois, p. 56). |
| |
| 1973 - A photograph of a domed ovoid UFO was taken at 5:00 p.m. in |
| the Piedmont region of Italy. A 23-year-old man named Contin took the |
| photo of the object in Susa, Italy as it was making seemingly |
| impossible maneuvers. Jets were later seen chasing the object. |
| (Source: Gordon Creighton, FSR, October 1974, p. 27). |
| |
| 1974 -  According to the Spanish Air Force, at 7:50 p.m. a light |
| descended from 8,000 to 6,000 feet and paced a Fokker F-27 IB |
| aircraft for one minute while flying between Tenerife and Las Palmas |
| in the Canary Islands. The UFO disappeared when the airplane turned |
| toward the light. The visual sighting lasted for three minutes, while |
| radar returns were recorded at 8:20 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Independent |
| witnesses included a Spanish Air Force Lt. Colonel and his daughter |
| driving in a car. (Source: Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, UNICAT |
| database, case 821). |
| |
| 1974 - On the same night a circular object paced a private aircraft |
| flying over Shabbona, Illiniois. It suddenly tipped and shot away. |
| The EM effect included a magnetic compass deflection.  (Source: |
| Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 50, citing MUFON UFO |
| Journal, November 1989). |
| |
| 1976 - A cone-shaped object with a light followed a truck on a |
| highway in New Albany, Indiana at 10:30 p.m. It went away when other |
| vehicles approached, but reappeared when they were gone and was seen |
| for more than an hour. It left by departing toward the east. There |
| were 13 witnesses to the close encounter. (Source: International UFO |
| Reporter, January 1977, p. 5). |
| |
| 1977 -  At 10:10 p.m. a UFO came out of the southwest, flying over a |
| ranch following some high tension power lines in the town of La |
| Aurora, Uruguay.  It changed colors and caused radio interference. |
| There was a 10 minute power failure in the city of Salto. (Source: |
| Bob Van Der Velde, APRO Bulletin, May 1982, p. 4). |
| |
| 1978 -  Sr. Gordillo and three friends were out hunting in the |
| pre-dawn hours around 3:30 a.m. in a wooded hilly region near the |
| River Guadiamar in Gerena Guadiamar, Sevilla province, Spain when |
| they all saw a red light on the ground in a nearby eucalyptus grove. |
| They all carried bright lanterns and continued looking for game. |
| They  crossed the river, and temporarily forgot about the red light |
| for a few minutes. They then noticed that the light was now in a |
| nearby clearing in the woods. Two of the witnesses approached the |
| area, while the others remained behind. The two men saw, partially |
| hidden by some trees, a large bowl-shaped or jug-shaped craft with a |
| red light on top and numerous multicolored lights on the front; it |
| rested on two shiny silvery legs. Next to the object stood a tall, |
| heavy set human-like figure, who appeared to be wearing a large round |
| black helmet with a glass visor over the face. His clothing was |
| silvery and he wore large boots. The being walked slowly back and |
| forth in front of the object, at one point approaching the witnesses |
| briefly. It made low humming noises. The men became frightened and |
| left the area. Large footprints were found at the site. (Sources: |
| APRO Bulletin, September 1979, p. 1; Lumieres dans la Nuit, September |
| 1979; Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos, Enciclopedia De Los Encuentros |
| Cercanos Con Ovnis & UNICAT database case # 485, citing Stendek, |
| volume 37, number 1). |
| 1978 - Sr. D'Ambros, age 61, had gone into a nearby woods at 11:45 |
| a.m. near Gastagh, Italy to gather some firewood and had sat down on |
| a log to rest. He was horrified to suddenly see two strange looking |
| beings looking at him. The beings were hovering very close to the |
| ground. They were described as a meter tall and thin with large |
| pointed ears. One was shorter than the other. They had yellowish |
| skin, large smooth and bald elongated heads, long pointed noses and |
| large mouths with two long pointed fangs. They were clad in dark, |
| tight fitting coveralls that started below the knee and extended up |
| to their necks. They also had huge hands and feet with extremely long |
| fingers and nails. The shorter of the beings approached the witness |
| and began making sudden "sliding" moves around him, never touching |
| the ground. The witness screamed for help and asked who they were but |
| they only answered him with mumbling sounds. The taller creature now |
| approached and attempted to take the witness's pruning axe from him. |
| After a brief struggle the creatures fled into the woods. The witness |
| chased after them but lost sight of them. He then came upon a |
| clearing where a solid, metallic disc-shaped craft with a dome on top |
| rested on four legs. He saw a pair of long hands close a small trap |
| door on the dome, then the disc took off silently and at high speed |
| emitting a burst of red flame from its bottom. During the same time |
| other independent witnesses had watched a similar object maneuvering |
| over the area. Ground traces found in the area included a 12-foot |
| wide burnt circle, with vegetation whirled counterclockwise, U-shaped |
| imprints 20 cm long and 3 cm deep, and uprooted bushes. (Sources: |
| Antonio Chiumiento, International UFO Reporter, May 1983, p. 8; David |
| F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| A2176, citing IUR; Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |
| Thirty-Year Report, p. 492). |

| 1981 - Dale Spurlock saw a red pulsating domed disc at treetop level |
| while driving 10 miles south-southwest of Marshall near Darco, Texas |
| at 9:30 p.m. It was seen near a small lake and some power lines, and |
| had four colored lights--a row of red, blue, green, and amber |
| lights--at the base of the dome. It made no sound as it passed left |
| to right just above the tress, and then hovered. The object tilted, |
| and two strong headlights from the front of the UFO shown directly |
| down on his pickup truck. The object was revolving counterclockwise, |
| and left towards the east. The truck's electrical system (alternator |
| and battery) was damaged. (Sources: John Combest, International UFO |
