|
| 1951 - U.S. Air Force pilots Lt. Wilbert Rogers and Major Ezra |
|
|||
|
| Ballard were flying in a T-33 at 20,000 feet from Dover AFB when at |
|
|||
|
| 11:35 a.m. EDT they saw a silvery metallic disc-shaped object to |
|
|||
|
| their 11 o'clock position and below their aircraft, three miles |
|
|||
|
| northeast of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. It was silhouetted against the |
|
|||
|
| ground. Rogers immediately turned left and descended to intercept the |
|
|||
|
| craft, which then banked revealing its flat round profile, with no |
|
|||
|
| appendages. The UFO curved in a tight turn, covering an estimated 30 |
|
|||
|
| nautical miles in two minutes at a speed estimated between |
|
|||
|
| 1,000-1,500 mph. The object passed within about 8,000 feet distance |
|
|||
|
| of the T-33, descending from about 12,000 feet to 5000 feet and |
|
|||
|
| heading out to sea at high speed near Point Pleasant. The aerial |
|
|||
|
| sighting lasted two minutes and was rated a high reliability unknown |
|
|||
|
| by Project Blue Book and Dr. James McDonald. (Sources: Edward J. |

|
| 1954 - Mourieras, France. A farmer, Mr. Mazaud, age 50, was walking |
|
|||
|
| home when he was suddenly confronted with a helmeted being of average |
|
|||
|
| height who made friendly gestures, then went back into the brush, |
|
|||
|
| entered a cigar-shaped object about four meters long, which took off |
|
|||
|
| toward Limoges. A few minutes later witnesses in Limoges reported a |
|
|||
|
| disc-shaped, red object leaving a bluish trail. (Sources: Le |

|
| 1954 - A metal worker, Marius Dewilde, age 34, came out of his house |
|
|||
|
| in Quarouble, France at 10:30 p.m. when his dog was barking and saw a |
|
|||
|
| dark object sitting on the railroad tracks. He then observed two |
|
|||
|
| dwarfs walking toward it. When he tried to stop them, he found |
|
|||
|
| himself blinded and paralyzed by a strong orange beam of light that |
|
|||
|
| was projected at him. The beings were under 1 meter (3.3 feet) tall, |
|
|||
|
| bulky, and wore dark diving suits with diver's helmets. No faces or |
|
|||
|
| arms were visible. Imprints were made by an object, that an engineer |
|
|||
|
| estimated must have weighed 30 tons. French police and the French Air |
|
|||
|
| Force investigated the case. (Sources: Le Parisien, September 13, |

|
| boomerang-shaped, which made a swishing sound when accelerating. They |
|
|||
|
| were seen for a couple of seconds each. (Source: Don Berliner, |

|
| 1965 - Antonio Pau Ferro, a farmer, was working in his cornfield in |
|
|||
|
| Sao Joao, Pernambuco State, Brazil at 8:30 in the morning when he |
|
|||
|
| heard a rushing noise and saw two luminous discs five feet wide and |
|
|||
|
| two feet thick, come down nearby. They discharged two small beings, |
|
|||
|
| 27-31” tall, and then rose to hover at 15 feet. The entities had |
|
|||
|
| reddish brown, wax-like complexions and wore tight fitting one |
|
|||
|
| piece-outfits. They spoke an unknown language, smiled at the witness, |
|
|||
|
| and picked a tomato; then the two discs came down and picked them up, |
|
|||
|
| rising vertically with a whistling sound. The farmer said that they |
|
|||
|
| appeared quite human, except for their strange skin color and their |
|
|||
|
| size. (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |

|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1965 - On this night a hovering object was seen from a street in |
|
|||
|
| Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. It discharged yellow, blue, and orange |
|
|||
|
| lights from slits around its circumference. Four people--a local |
|
|||
|
| reporter, a bullfighter, and two taxi drivers--saw a creature with |
|
|||
|
| glowing catlike eyes dressed in black, walking down the street. The |
|
|||
|
| entity was holding a metallic tube. When they pursued the being |
|
|||
|
| it vanished suddenly. (Sources: Chicago Tribune, October 14, 1965; |

| |
|
|||
|
| 1965 - On or about this date three women in Mexico City, Mexico were |
|
|||
|
| said to have observed a group of giant beings, three meters tall, |
|
|||
|
| without noses or mouths but with bright red eyes, wearing gray |
|
|||
|
| uniforms and boots. No object was described. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |

|
| 1967 - At 6:03 p.m. flying over the Pyrenees Mountains in a DC-6 at |
|
|||
|
| 16,000 feet altitude, 65 miles north of Reus, Tarragona, Spain three |
|
|||
|
| men, Underhill, Hope and Dunlop, sighted an inverted flying cone, |
|
|||
|
| silver on top, with a curved base, that looked metallic and solid. |
|
|||
|
| Its minimum distance was estimated to be 1/2 mile, and it was moving |
|
|||
|
| opposite to the plane. It was initially higher, then half a |
|
|||
|
| mile below. The sighting lasted more than two minutes. (Sources: APRO |

|
| 1968 - On this night in Pergamino, Buenos Aires, Argentina J. |
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
| He said he was going along National Highway # 8 when he caught sight |
|
|||
|
| of “the only UFO which has molested the earth in these past years.” |
|
|||
|
| The alien crew contacted him and communicated with him orally in |
|
|||
|
| perfect Castilian Spanish about his technical resources and their |
|
|||
|
| purpose on our planet. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |

|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1975 - On this evening two children in Moulin Sous Fleron, Liege, |
|
|||
|
| Belgium were frightened by a being dressed entirely in black that |
|
|||
|
| moved like an ape and jumped from the bushes in front of them. They |
|
|||
|
| ran to a neighbor's house. Twenty minutes later the same being was |
|
|||
|
| seen again by another witness, who reported that the being had thrown |
|
|||
|
| rocks at him. No UFO was reported. (Sources: Awareness, April 1975, |

|
|||
|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1976 - Colusa, California. At 12:45 a.m. mechanic Bill Pecha and |
|
|||
|
| other household members noticed a complete electrical system failure |
|
|||
|
| in their mobile home. Next, stepping outside to check the circuit |
|
|||
|
| breakers, he felt static electricity and spotted a brightly lit, 150 |
|
|||
|
| foot domed disc-shaped object with a clockwise rotating rim hovering |
|
|||
|
| almost overhead, just 50-60 feet away. The object had a red light in |
|
|||
|
| front and other lights on either end, and the bright light that came |
|
|||
|
| from the bottom of the object dimmed when hovering. On the underside |
|
|||
|
| it had 6-8 dangling cables, and on each were two arms with hooks |
|
|||
|
| which retracted when Pecha stepped toward the object. The object |
|
|||
|
| retreated, moving slowly out over a field, with the cables still |
|
|||
|
| retracting. The white light underneath intensified and a cone of |
|
|||
|
| light was projected downward, but initially the beam was truncated |
|
|||
|
| before reaching the ground. The object maneuvered above a neighbor's |
|
|||
|
| house illuminating the ground with beams of light. Two other similar |
|
|||
|
| UFOs were seen in the distance casting blue light beams down onto |
|
|||
|
| power lines, and an arc of light was extending upward from the power |
|
|||
|
| lines to the objects. When the object shot away at high speed to the |
|
|||
|
| west, it lit up the foothills, then it rushed back over the |
|
|||
|
| neighbor's property again as the other two, more distant object sped |
|
|||
|
| away in different directions, and were gone in 30 seconds. The power |
|
|||
|
| came back on in Mr. Pecha's mobile home; the entire elapsed time of |
|
|||
|
| the close encounter was 9 minutes. (Sources: Colusa (CA) Sun-Herald, |

|
|||
|
| 1977 - A beam of red light penetrated the roof of 32-year-old Beatriz |
|
|||
|
| Almada da Costa's house in the village of Santo Antonio do Ubintuba, |
|
|||
|
| Para State, Brazil at 7:30 p.m. As the beam struck her body, |
|
|||
|
| paralysis spread throughout her body accompanied by chills |
|
|||
|
| and shaking. (Source: Bob Pratt, Operacao Prato, p. 11). |
|

|
| |
|
|||
|
| 1978 - At 4:40 p.m. two men were sitting at home watching |
|
|||
|
| television in Las Salinas, San Miguel de Tucuman, Tucuman State, |
|
|||
|
| Argentina when they starting having TV interference. They next |
|
|||
|
| attempted to use a stereo player, and then the radio, but these did |
|
|||
|
| not function properly either. They then heard some noises coming from |
|
|||
|
| an adjoining shop that was connected to their house. When they went |
|
|||
|
| to investigate, they found some broken bottles on the floor and some |
|
|||
|
| other damage. Moments later, they became aware of presence of two |
|
|||
|
| short beings standing nearby. These beings were dressed in bright |
|
|||
|
| blue, one-piece suits, dark blue helmets, and high boots also bright |
|
|||
|
| blue in color; on their arms they wore shiny black gauntlets that |
|
|||
|
| went above the elbow. Their faces were brown and their complexion |
|
|||
|
| seemed pockmarked, their eyes looked normal and their noses were |
|
|||
|
| flat. One of the figures was holding an object that looked like a |
|
|||
|
| "hair dryer", and was pointing it at the witnesses. Both men then |
|
|||
|
| received a telepathic message warning them not to scream. At this |
|
|||
|
| point one of the men ran for the door, and in response both |
|
|||
|
| figures put their fingers up their noses and vanished instantly, |
|
|||
|
| reappearing in a different location in the shop. They did |
|
|||
|
| this several more times as the first witness, armed with a knife, ran |
|
|||
|
| around trying to get out of the shop. Some empty crates were thrown |
|
|||
|
| at the witnesses during the melee. They finally managed to |
|
|||
|
| escape, and summoned the police who searched the premises but found |
|
|||
|
| nothing. Neighbors had reported seeing strange lights in the area. |

|
|||
|
| also an orange-yellow cigar-shaped object, and a triangle-shaped |
|
|||
|
| object with a red tip, orange behind tip, and a yellow body. (Source: |

|
| sighted a yellow-white light at 8:30 p.m. that descended from 15,000 |
|
|||
|
| feet to the altitude of his Beech Bonanza airplane (9500 feet). It |
|
|||
|
| went below his tail, then to the 3 o'clock position, and then finally |
|
|||
|
| ascended above 25,000 feet. Another second light flew around |
|
|||
|
| erratically. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO Reporter, July |

|
|||
|
| 1978 - At 10:15 p.m. in Dearborn Heights, Michigan a postal clerk, |
|
|||
|
| Mr. T. Atkins, and five other witnesses sighted a stationary |
|
|||
|
| formation of red lights at a 45 degree elevation in the sky, that |
|
|||
|
| blinked on-and-off 3-5 times in 15 minutes. They grew dimmer over |
|
|||
|
| time, then disappeared. (Sources: Allan Hendry, International UFO |

|
| 1981 - At around 11:00 p.m. Denise Bishop, age 23, of Weston Mill, |
|
|||
|
| Plymouth, Devonshire, England had a time distortion while in contact |
|
|||
|
| with a pencil thin, green beam of light from a 125 foot wide, |
|
|||
|
| metallic appearing UFO. It felt "as though a film had been stopped |
|
|||
|
| and started again." The huge UFO was the "same shape as the body of a |
|
|||
|
| crab", and it hovered over a hill of residential houses, emitting 6 |
|
|||
|
| to 7 pink, purple and white light beams. The green beam of light from |
|
|||
|
| the UFO hit her left hand, and she was unable to move. Some congealed |
|
|||
|
| matter formed on her hand, causing a burn. She still had a burn on |
|
|||
|
| her hand three months later that looked like a "pale birth mark." |

|||
|
| the north-norheast. Fifteen minutes later a second object followed |
|
|||
|
| same path. (Sources: Stephen Rosiak, MUFON field investigation case |

|
|||
|
| left hand turn without banking. Later that same evening, a |
|
|||
|
| disc-shaped UFO changing colors from purple to green to blue, then |
|
|||
|
| with a solid blue with red glow on the trailing edge was seen at |
|
|||

| 2004 - At about 10:10 p.m. a witness saw a bright moving object in |
|
|||
|
| the clear sky over Mount Cobb, Pennsylvania and called his mother and |
|
|||
|
| two sones to come see. It was moving near the Big Dipper and changing |
|
|||
|
| colors from green to red to dark orange to white, as though it were |
|
|||
|
| spinning. Looking at it through binoculars it was a rounded triangle. |
|
|||
|
| They could see the colors very clearly. On top of the object was a |
|
|||
|
| very bright white light. It was hovering, then it moved from the left |
|
|||
|
| to the right. The main color of the object was yellow. A military |
|
|||
|
| aircraft was flying to the northwest, but this object flew southeast. |
|
|||
|
| The strange object was much brighter, much bigger, and much higher |
|
|||
|
| than the military planes. That same night many witnesses in Los |
|
|||
|
| Angeles, California also saw a triangle UFO that came back the next |
|
|||
|
| night as well. (Source: George A. Filer & David E. Twichell, Filer's |
