|  December 28 |
| |
| 1952 -  A semi-circular cloud maneuvered and veered about in the sky |
| over Beverly, Massachusetts at 6:00 p.m. It then rose vertically and |
| was gone from sight. (Source: Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1952: |
| November-December, p. 73). |
| |
| 1954 - Traveling by car to Mendoza on Route # 143, a concert pianist |
| and six others traveling together saw a brilliant glow at the side of |
| the road near San Rafael Moreno, Argentina at 3:30 a.m. It was a |
| luminous object about 100-200 meters away in a nearby field, and it |
| was emitting a bluish light like that from a welding torch. According |
| to the description by Professor Maria Luisa de Amaya, it had the form |
| of two deep dishes placed together rim to rim. They could not make |
| out any structural details. The witnesses stopped their car and got |
| out, then walked toward the object. When they were about 50 meters |
| away they noticed two human figures next to it. The beings were of |
| normal height, wearing dark one piece diver's suits, with their heads |
| covered with a kind of cowl. One of the humanoids was crouching next |
| to the object. After he got up, the two individuals entered the UFO |
| through a rectangular door. The object began to emit smoke from its |
| central region and rose up vertically, stopping a few meters from the |
| ground and throwing out two flickering red lights. Alarmed, the |
| witnesses rushed back to their car and took off driving at high |
| speed. The object pursued them for 20 minutes, until by the first |
| light of dawn they could no longer see it. (Sources: Oscar A Uriondo, |
| MUFON UFO Journal, September 1979, p. 10, David F. Webb & Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1954-38, citing |
| Roberto Banchs). |
| |
| 1958 - On this afternoon in Portglenone, Ireland a two-meter wide |
| black flying object cut an oak tree in two, three meters above the |
| ground and did not stop. The tree in question was 70 cm wide and 13 |
| meters tall. The event was observed by a farmer named Bennett. |
| (Sources: Flying Saucer Review, May 1959, p. 7; APRO Bulletin, March |
| 1959; Passport to Magonia, A Century of Landings, case 479). |
| |
| 1964 -  A 17 meter in diameter domed disc was spotted on the ground |
| in Auckland, New Zealand at about 9:00 p.m. It had two rows of |
| intense lights on the body of the craft, and a green light on the |
| dome. The two female witnesses, Ms. Bender and Ms. Quinn, saw a door |
| in the object open before they left. The sighting duration was four |
| minutes. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case 629, citing Spaceview; Bruce Cathie, Harmonic 33, |
| p.105 ). |
| |
| 1967 -  At four o'clock in the morning on the Andalgala highway in |
| Catamarca Province, Argentina Mr. & Mrs. Clerici watched a flying |
| object that changed color from purple to green from time to time. The |
| couple became frightened when the object followed them for a few |
| minutes, then it ascended into the air. (Source: Oscar A. Uriondo, |
| FSR Case Histories, August 1973, p. 10, citing La Razon newspaper, |
| December 29, 1967). |
| |
| 1968 - The witness had been in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia |
| the area back in 1950 and at that time had experienced a peculiar |
| incident, which left him with a scar. He returned to the site in |
| December 1968 and saw a disc-shaped craft 40 feet in diameter and 10 |
| feet high, and met its human looking occupant, who walked around the |
| side of the object. The man had long hair, stood about 5' 6" tall, |
| and wore silver colored shoes. The witness spoke with him in English |
| for about three minutes, learning that the UFO occupant claimed to be |
| from Saturn. The man seemed to be in a hurry to get away. He boarded, |
| after which the craft rose off the ground and hovered momentarily at |
| 15 feet before moving off and disappearing in the distance. (Sources: |
| FSR, May-June 1969, p. 33; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: |
| Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-83, citing Dr. N. Lindtner, |
| UFO Investigation Center, Sydney). |
| |
| 1971 -  Three witnesses in a Boeing 727 airliner and Air Traffic |
| Controllers reported several groups of red balls of light that jumped |
| and maneuvered all over the mountainous area of San Martin de los |
| Andes, Neuquen Province, Argentina beginning at 11:45 p.m. for the |
| next 35 minutes. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, May 1972; Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case 9455; Phenomenes Spatiaux, issue # 37). |
| |
| 1978 - At 11:48 p.m. security guard Fortunato Zanfretta was out on |
| patrol of a housing complex in Marzano di Torriglia, Italy when he |
| suddenly yelled over his radio that he had lost control of his |
| vehicle, because it was speeding down a mountain road on its own |
| accord. The car finally stopped and Mr. Zanfretta got out to |
| investigate a strange light hovering nearby. He was later found |
| incoherent next to his car. His pistol had been fired six times, and |
| giant footprints were found at the site. Under hypnosis, he recalled |
| that he had being taken onboard a UFO by giant humanoids and examined |
| with strange devices. He was asked several questions by them and was |
| told that they would be back soon. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1978, case # 140, citing Paolo Fiorino, UFO |
| Universe, October-November 1991). |
| |
| 1978 - A luminous object surrounded by a red halo flew over L'Aquila, |
| Italy on this night. It stopped several hundred meters over an |
| electrical generating plant, according to two power plant |
| technicians, and the generator stopped for five minutes while the |
| central power plant instruments went "haywire." Several had to be |
| adjusted. (Sources: Jane Thomas, UFO Newspaper Clipping Service, |
| April 1979, p. 14, citing La Razon newspaper, December 30, 1978; |
| Lumieres dans la Nuit, February 1979). |
| |
| 1978 - On or about this date at about 4:30 a.m. three men,  employees |
| of a power company, were driving a company truck toward a bridge on |
| the Rio Segundo between Arroyito and Transito, Cordoba Province, |
| Argentina when they were approached by an intense light from a hill |
| and suddenly found themselves teleported 15 kilometers further away |
| from the bridge to the town of Transito. They believed no time had |
| passed because their cigarettes were the same length as they had been |
| when they neared the bridge. At some point, the men spotted a domed |
| UFO, described as a flattened rhombus 25 meters in diameter that was |
| revolving, and one of them apparently signaled the occupants of the |
| craft. (Sources: Jane Thomas, UFO Newspaper Clipping Service, April |
| 1979, p. 14, citing Cronica newspaper, December 29, 1978; David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| A2000; MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 133). |
| |
| 1988 - A very controversial case occurred on this day over Puerto |
| Rico near Cabo Rojo, east of Betances in Mayaguez province.  |
| According to two male witnesses on the ground, at 7:45 p.m. two US |
| Air Force F-14 fighter jets tried to intercept a very large |
| triangular metallic looking UFO with brilliant yellow lights on the |
| right tip and red lights on the left tip. The UFO veered to left, |
| turned back, and then reduced speed. Both jets disappeared inside the |
| UFO! The UFO then split into two and rose straight up vertically. |

| Encyclopedia, Volume 1, p. 187). |
| |
| 1991 -  There was both airborne radar contact and visual confirmation |
| of an echelon formation of three objects that flew over London, |
| Ontario, Canada at 12:40 a.m. The case is rated as a high reliability |
| unknown by the Canadian UFO Survey group. (Source: Richard F. Haines, |
| Project Delta: A Study of Multiple UFO, p. 192). |
| |
| 1993 -  Witnesses in Willow Creek, Humboldt County, California |
| reported that a UFO hovered silently over Berry Summit at 8:30 p.m. |
| It had a square of lights on the bottom of the craft. (Source: UFO |
| Newspaper Clipping Service, February 1994). |
