| 1949 - A metallic disc with a tail fin was viewed through binoculars |
|
|||
|
| as it moved on a horizontal flight course in Rogue River, Oregon at |
|
|||
|
| 5:00 p.m. It gradually increased its speed until it reached that of a |
|
|||
|
| jet aircraft. No propulsion method was apparent. (Source: Project |

| 1954 - At 12:25 p.m. a B-17 on a photo mapping mission over Richmond, |
|
|||

|
| UFO below and to the right of the plane, moving on a different |
|
|||
|
| heading. Leo Brubaker, one of the crewmembers, took a photograph of |
|
|||
|
| the object, directed downward toward the clouds, which shows an |
|
|||
|
| overexposed bright round blob of light. (Sources: Project Blue Book |

|
|||
|
| 1964 - Two witnesses in Millinocket, Maine saw a fiery orange object |
|
|||

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

|
| was seen hovering and on the ground in Eton Ridge, Queensland, |
|
|||
|
| Australia by three men named Tilse, Burgess, and Juden. The object |
|
|||
|
| was 20-30 feet in diameter, 15 feet in height, and was at a minimum |
|
|||
|
| distance of 300 meters away. It made a buzzing or hissing sound, and |
|
|||
|
| made several maneuvers before it sped away. A circle 20 feet in |
|
|||
|
| diameter, consisting of a 3 foot 2 inch wide ring of flattened grass, |
|
|||
|
| was found at the landing site the next morning. (Sources: Keith |

|
|||
|
| hilltop. The Lujan police sent a patrol, under Comm. Osvaldo Pagella, |
|
|||
|
| which found a large, metallic object resting on the hill, but because |
|
|||
|
| of the difficult terrain they could not get near the object before it |
|
|||
|
| took off. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
