| database, case 3845). |
| |
| 1954 - In the predawn hours four beings 1.2 meters tall were busy |
| underneath a blue cigar-shaped object hovering 1.5 meters over a |
| field in Rinckerode, Lower Saxony, Germany. The witness was a |
| 42-year-old man named Hogl. They had thin legs, broad chests, large |
| heads, and they wore rubber suits.They re-entered the craft via a |
| ladder; the object then tilted to one side, and shot up and away at |
| an angle. (Source: Illobrand von Ludwiger, Best UFO Cases--Europe, p. |
| 47). |
| |
| 1954 - At 6:15 a.m. Michel Toutain was bicycling in |
| Marville-Moutier-Brule, Eure-et-Loir department, France when he saw a |
| red ball of light above which was a greenish circular disc resembling |

| object shaped like a plate, with a dome on top and two portholes. It |
| was about two meters in diameter and one meter high. It took off |
| immediately. (Sources: France Soir, October 21, 1954; Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 223, case 227). |
| |
| 1954 - At 2:02 p.m. a math professor, Mr. Bon, observed a silvery |
| disc about seven meters in diameter rise silently from a point about |
| 250 meters to the side of the road in St-Germain-de-Livet, Calvados, |
| France. Spinning, it dove towards the ground from an altitude of |
| about 800 meters, then flew off horizontally at a dizzying speed. |
| (Sources: France Soir, October 14, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 223, case 228). |
| |

| Mssr. Roger Gayout and his family saw a very bright object come very |
| close to the ground. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the |
| Straight Line Mystery, p. 162; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, p. 223-224, case 229). |
| |
| 1954 - Quarouble, Nord, France. At 11:30 p.m. a second landing with |
| occupants was witnessed here by Marius Dewilde and his four-year-old |
| son. A disc, six meters in diameter and about one meter tall, landed |
| again on the railroad tracks. Seven little men about one meter tall |
| emerged from the craft and spoke in an unknown language. The craft |
| then vanished without noise or smoke. Traces larger than the first, |
| and symmetrical, were observed. Dewilde refused to report the case to |
| the authorities. (Sources: Aime Michel, Flying Saucers and the |
| Straight Line Mystery, p. 158; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |

| 1957 - At 2:30 in the afternoon Mrs. Edward Yeager, who lived in a |
| trailer on the Duanesburg Church Road in Schenectady, New York near |
| Mariaville, saw a circular UFO go down behind a hill. Two minutes |
| later it flew up again and was very bright. The next day she was |
| feeding her animals and the animals ran away when the same or a |
| similar object came down within two meters of the ground. Two dark |
| little men came out of the craft and went into the woods. The object |
| remained there for two minutes, then left. A search for the occupants |
| proved futile. A bus driver was reported to have seen two craft land |
| in a nearby field at the same hour. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport |
| to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 259, case 409; Flying Saucer |

| 1957 - Quebracoco, Brazil. On this night a naval officer, Miguel |
| Espanhol and another man, were driving to Ceres, Goias State, Brazil |
| when they saw a bright object that illuminated the countryside and |
| flew down to ground level as their truck stalled. It was oval or |
| saucer-shaped, over 150 meters in diameter and 40 meters deep, with a |
| dome supporting a long "aerial" with a red light on top. The bright |
| light went off and the witnesses saw seven childlike beings, with |
| long hair and luminous suits, who looked down at them for about three |
| minutes. The craft flew south and released a smaller disc, which flew |
| north. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, p. 259; O Cruzeiro, May 17, 1958; Coral & Jim Lorenzen, |

| Histories, December 1972, p. 10). |
| |
| 1966 - At 5:20 p.m. six witnesses in Newton, Illinois saw a metallic |
| oval-shaped object or football with a tail appendage come down over |
| some power lines. It made a whirling sound, and shot away at terrific |
| speed. (Sources: J. Allen Hynek, The UFO Experience, p. 238; UNICAT, |
| case 252; George Kocher, UFO's: What to Do? (Rand Corporation |

| |
| 1966 - A person contacted the National UFO Reporting Center in |
| Seattle to report that at around 9:00 p.m. in Live Oak, Florida a |
| saucer-shaped object zapped energy from some powerlines while at the |
| same time his pregnant mother received a mental message from the UFO |
| not to pass on any information about the close encounter. (Source: |
| Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, report uploaded May |
| 11, 2005). |
| |
| 1966 - At 9:15 p.m. police officers Pastro and Thompson at Wanaque |
| Reservoir in Wanaque, New Jersey observed a spherical object with a |
| protrusion on one side emitting an extremely bright, blinding light |
| that lit up the surrounding terrain. The UFO first hovered, and then |
| moved around erratically at high speeds, making sharp turns and |
| leaving a misty trail in its wake when it moved. (Source: NICAP UFO |
| Investigator, Oct.-Nov. 1966, p. 6; NICAP case files, report by John |
| Pagano; Frank Edwards, Flying Saucers--Here and Now, p. 20). |

| |
| 1967 - At 12:45 a.m. Norman Cory was driving home in Lakewood, |
| Colorado when he was flagged down by a tall man with a forked goatee. |
| The man was well over six feet tall, and was wearing a jacket with |
| four gold bars on each shoulder. The man talked to the witness |
| without moving his lips, presumably by telepathy. He asked where the |
| North Star was, and what the date was; in response to the answer, he |
| replied, "In your primitive time." He then asked what the witness had |
| in his mouth, and on being told it was a cigarette, he replied, "Oh, |
| one of your primitive vices." He next asked about the car and said, |
| "Oh, your primitive mode of transportation." When the witness asked |
| him who he was and where he was from, the man replied, "I cannot tell |
| you now, but my colleagues and I will return." Then the man walked |
| about four feet away from the roadside and vanished. Norman then |
| heard a noise and looked up and saw hovering overhead a red object |
| the size of a football field. With a whining noise it went straight |
| up, and then was joined by two more objects, and all three shot |
| away at a tremendous speed.  (Sources: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, |
| HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1967-102 (A0880), citing |
| R. Leo Sprinkle; Lt. Col. A. P. Webb, Project Blue Book). |
| |
| 1967 - A forest fire lookout in Bow River Provincial Forest, Alberta, |
| Canada saw an oval object with a rim around the circumference and a |
| green light on top. The light rotated, and when the object moved it |
| turned white. The object hovered, then moved off and disappeared |
| emitting four blue flames as it departed. (Source: London (ON) |
| Evening Free Press, October 16, 1967, copy in NICAP files). |
| 1967 - At 7:00 p.m. three witnesses in Leek, Staffordshire, England |
| using 7 x 50 binoculars saw a yellowish oval with a small dome on |
| top, with a yellow light rotating around the dome. The object also |
| had one red and two green body lights that pulsated on and off. As |
| the lights pulsated, the color of the object changed from yellow to |
| white. At 7:30 p.m. a similar object shot across the sky, stopped and |
| joined the first object (rendezvous). Both objects were gradually |
| obscured by clouds. (Source: Roger Stanway & Anthony Pace, UFOs |
| Unidentified Undeniable, p. 16). |

| p. 9). |
| |
| 1973 - At 3:00 a.m. two oddly shaped objects flew over a chemical |
| plant in Yazoo City, Mississippi causing a power outage. At 6:00 p.m. |
| in Magnolia, Mississippi two witnesses, one named Brumfield, saw a |
| round, shiny, metallic object on or near the ground. Something |
| rectangular about the size of a small person emerged, perhaps a |
| robot, and later re-entered, and the object took off. (Sources: |
| Clarion (MS) Ledger, October 18, 1973; Richard H. Hall, The UFO |
| Evidence, Volume II:  A Thirty-Year Report, p. 341). |
| 1973 - 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." (Sources: |
| UPI, Columbus Dispatch, October 11, 1973; Cincinnati Post, October |
| 12, 1973; NICAP UFO Investigator, November 1973, p. 4). |
