| 1954 - Alerted by some children to the presence of a UFO around ten |
| o'clock in the morning, Elizabeth Klarer ran to a nearby hill in Mooi |
| River, South Africa. Twenty yards away was a domed disc-shaped |
| object, about 60 feet in diameter, that silently descended to 10-12 |
| feet above the ground. It had a flat hull rotating around a flattish |
| dome, which contained portholes. In one of the porthole windows she |
| saw a man "with a thin face, aquiline nose, and high cheekbones," who |
| looked at her with hypnotic intensity. Then, with a blast of hot air, |
| the craft rose and shot away at tremendous speed. Ms. Klarer had a |
| contactee experience 18 months later. (Sources: Cynthia Hind, Fate, |
| August 1969; John Wallace Spencer, World Atlas of UFOs, p. 146; David |
| F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1954-146 (A0359), citing Cynthia Hind). |
| |
| 1963 - A shiny white object was seen on the ground at Bank's Stables, |
| Epping, England at four o'clock in the afternoon. It was about 3.5 |
| meters long, a meter in height, and had something like a windshield |
| more brilliant than the rest of the craft. When it took off it flew |
| horizontally for 30 meters and was hidden from view. Grass was |
| flattened over a circular area, and four ground marks were found |
| suggesting imprints from landing gear. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 593). |
| |
| 1969 In the early hours after midnight Miss Mary Smith and her |
| mother were in their parked car near Atlanta, Georgia talking. They |
| were parked along the side of the road in the suburbs, and it was |
| about two a.m. when her mother first noticed a black, saucer-shaped |
| flying object with a flat bottom hovering some distance away. The |
| bottom opened slowly and from it descended a “plastic bubble” with a |
| glowing light inside. It drifted downward, and then separated into |
| three glowing, arrow-shaped objects that came to rest in a parking |
| lot across the street. Shortly afterwards they saw three dark |
| humanoid forms at the spot. They looked like men with wide shoulders |
| and narrow hips, but with arms shorter than normal. One was much |
| larger than the others. All three were “sweeping furiously” with |
| tools like lawn rakes over a spot about nine feet in diameter. What |
| they swept up was put into a basket-shaped container in the center. |
| At one point the larger figure chased after something to the edge of |
| the street and caught it in his hand, picking it up and running back |
| to put it in the basket. When two teenaged boys drove up in a car and |
| saw the beings they drove into the parking lot. The figures then |
| abruptly vanished. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-57, citing Ted Phillips for |
| MUFON). |

| 1977 - Two very bright cones of bright light moved rapidly through |
| the sky over Charlotte, North Carolina at 10:45 p.m., tracked by a |
| Charlotte Police helicopter and appearing on radar. Allan Hendry, the |
| investigator at the time for the Center for UFO Studies, suggested a |
| prank balloon might be the explanation, but the UFO was too bright |
| and emitted an energetic ball of light. (Sources: Charlotte Observer, |
| December 31, 1977; APRO Bulletin, February 1978, p. 1; Allan Hendry, |
| International UFO Reporter, March 1978, p. 8; Dominique Weinstein, |
| Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 41). |

| 1980 - Bentwaters AFB, England - A famous close encounter landing with |
| radar confirmation, and a possible encounter with humanoids occurred |
| in the early morning hours between Bentwaters and Woodbridge RAF/USAF |
| Bases. The case involved many military personnel, including the base |
| commander, Colonel Halt. A nocturnal light had been sighted |
| repeatedly over several nights prior to this encounter. On the night |
| in question a 12 foot wide cone-shaped object was encountered near |
| the ground outside the west gate of the Bentwaters base. According to |
| several of the military witnesses, the UFO shone light beams into the |
| nuclear weapons storage area, them landed or hovered quite close to |
| the ground in the forest outside the base. A USAF security patrol |
| outside the back gate of RAF Woodbridge likely had the closest |
| encounter. The UFO they saw hovered at treetop level, and was |
| described as being round with a red light on top and several blue |
| lights underneath. It was surrounded by a yellow mist. It landed in a |
| field, illuminating the ground, then shot up. Larry Warren, one of |
| the military enlisted men present, claims that UFO occupants were |
| seen on this occasion. At the same time, in nearby Martlesham in |
| Suffolk county, a nocturnal light followed a car and then shot up |
| into the air, causing a herd of cows to stampede. (Sources: Richard |

| 1991 - On this evening five young witnesses watched a large silvery |
| sphere land in a field very close to them in Longwy, France. Two |
| human looking figures with blue eyes emerged from the sphere. They |
| wore gray coveralls, and one figure was carrying something resembling |
| a transparent cylindrical canister. That humanoid proceeded to walk |
| around the object and collect various plant and soil samples, placing |
| them inside the canister. After awhile the humanoids re-entered the |
| sphere, which then rose up silently and shot away at high speed. |
| Ground traces were found. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
