| |
|  January 23 |
| |
| 1950 - At 4:40 a.m. a U.S. Navy P2V3 patrol plane flying from the |
| Kodiak Naval Air Station in Alaska spotted two orange lights rotating |
| about a common central point, which maneuvered in the sky. (Source: |
| MUFON UFO Journal, September 1978, p. 7). |
| |
| 1959 - A bright silver object was sighted as it arced across the sky |
| in the Panama Canal Zone. It was tracked by US radar. (Source: |
| Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, p. 119, citing New York Times, |

| |
| 1964 - An underwater submarine object (USO) was seen at around 9:00 |
| p.m. at the Northeast point at Groote Eylandt in the Northern |
| Territory, Australia. Large lights in the water made a compass go |
| haywire. A shadow in the center of the lights rotated clockwise, |
| causing the lights to pulsate. (Source: Ivan Sanderson, Invisible |
| Residents, p. 112; Michael Hervey, UFOs Over the Southern Hemisphere, |
| p. 204). |
| |
| 1965 - Williamsburg, Virginia - At 8:40 a.m. cars stalled near the |
| intersection of US Highway 60 and State Route 614. A 31-year-old |
| businessman named Mains, whose car had stalled, observed a |
| mushroom-shaped object hovering over a nearby field about four feet |
| off the ground, 500 feet away. It was metallic gray and about 75-80 |
| feet tall. There was a red-orange glow coming from the near side, and |
| a bluish glow from the far side. Soon the object rose slightly and |
| then accelerated horizontally speeding off towards the west, making a |
| noise like a vacuum cleaner. The sighting duration was 25 seconds. |

| when they saw a disc-shaped object land 200 yards away from them. |
| Upon closer investigation they found the object to be 75-100 feet in |
| diameter and 25 feet in height. A door slid open and a seven-foot |
| tall being appeared. He called to them by name, and conversed with |
| them via telepathy. He said his race was from another star and that |
| 400 American citizens are actually from his race. (Source: David F. |
| Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1966-05). |

| p. 529). |
| |
| 1968 - At 12:45 a.m. a luminous object landed in Copahue, Neuquen |
| province, Argentina and stayed on the ground for four hours. It was |
| watched by several witnesses who were too afraid to approach. It |

| |
| 1968 - A college yearbook photo editor from Laurentian University in |
| Sudbury, Ontario took 12 photos with a 35mm camera using tri-X film |
| with five other witnesses at 7:15 p.m. The images showed a slightly |
| off-centered, luminous domed disc-shaped object. Another photograph |
| of a luminous UFO was taken by a married couple, Mr. & Mrs. Wood,  in |
| Old Haversham, Northamptonshire, England at 5:25 a.m. (Source: (1) |

| 1968, p. 5). |
| |
| 1968 - At 10:00 p.m., five miles from White Rocks, Utah, a woman |
| named Chapman spotted a blue half dome-shaped object that moved |
| slowly, then changed color to red and moved away very fast! It then |
| maneuvered over the Uintah Mountains. (Source: Frank Salisbury, The |
| Utah UFO Display, p. A-59). |
| |
| 1971 - A brilliant ovoid object flew from east to west over Lerida, |
| Spain for five minutes at 8 p.m. It left a zig-zag contrail. (Source: |

| |
| 1973 - On this evening a teenage girl driving on Interstate 85 in |
| Gaffney, South Carolina noticed that the radio reception of her car |
| radio was mysteriously blocked. Then she noticed a yellow oval-shaped |
| object with "white lights blinking on and off and going around on its |
| bottom". The UFO followed the traffic on I-85. (Sources: Rodger |
| Painter, Gaffney Ledger, February 2, 1973; Geoffrey Falla, BUFORA |
| Vehicle Interference Project Report, case # 63). |
| |
| 1974 - The entire village of Llandrillo, Wales heard a loud explosion |
| that was preceded by violent shaking of the ground. Running outside, |
| many people saw blue and orange lights floating in a circle around |
| Cader Mountain east of the village. Police and RAF personnel were in |
| the area quickly and cordoned off access to a supposed crash site on |
| the barren hilltop. A nurse, telephoned by the police, was on her way |
| up the mountain to the crash site with her daughters when she saw |
| something sitting on the ground ahead of her. It seemed to be intact |
| and was very large, circular and glowed orange. She and her daughters |
| got to within a few hundred feet of teh object when the police and |
| military showed up and told her to leave. According to UFO researcher |
| Tony Dodd, a retired military man using the name of "Robert Prescott" |
| told him that he and some others had been assigned to transport two |
| crates from the crash site to the top secret military weapons |
| research facility at Porton Down near Salisbury, England. According |
| to Prescott, military personnel opened the crates and found two |
| humanoid bodies about 5 to 6 feet tall, and so very thin they were |
| almost skeletal in nature. Other units allegedly transported live |
| aliens from the "crash" site. (Sources: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1974, case # 3925, citing CSETI; Nicholas Redfern, |
| Cosmic Crashes). |
| |
| 1976 - At 1:30 a.m. in Lompoc, California a nurse driving not far |
| from Vandenburg Air Force Base had a close encounter with a 50 foot |
| long ovoid UFO. Her car radio went wild, and she felt like she had |
| been hypnotized. Near Vandenburg AFB (Source: Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case # 12150, citing MUFON UFO Journal, issue # 273). |
| |
| 1976 - At 5:15 p.m. a 17-year-old witness had gotten off the bus in |
| Bolton, Lancashire, England and was returning home to her housing |
| development. She then saw an object with two lights, one amber and |
| the other red, over the Rumsworth Reservoir. The object suddenly |
| streaked toward her and came to hover directly over her. The metallic |
| looking UFO was about 25 feet in diameter and shaped like an octagon, |
| with one amber light and a flashing red light. It had a curved base |
| and a flat top. It rotated on its axis, and the witness's teeth |
| vibrated as if ultrasonic sound waves were emanating from the object, |
| causing her pain in her mouth. Also, pressure on her shoulders |
| knocked her down, and she attempted to scream but was unable to. She |
| ran home terrified. Later under hypnosis it was revealed that she had |
| suffered a 45 minute period of missing time and could vaguely recall |
| an abduction experience. She could only recall being inside a room |
| with a tall blond or albino woman who wore a long gown. She was told |
| by this woman “not to be afraid” and felt that information was being |
| inserted into her brain at high speed. She was also given several |
| apocalyptic messages.(Sources: Jenny Randles, FSR, May 1976, p. 32; |
| Bolton Evening News, January 24 & 27, 1976; John F. Schuessler, MUFON |

| Database 1976, case # 518, citing Jenny Randles, Alien Contacts and |
| Abductions). |
| |
| 1977 - This humanoid encounter began at 12:30 a.m. when a penetrating |
| sound and bright lights coming from the sky awoke the villagers of |
| Santa Rosa, Lara State, Venezuela. A circular UFO with intense |
| multicolored flashing lights, emitting waves of heat, circled the |
| small community and landed on the banks of the Turbio River, causing |
| panic. Two small human like figures, walking stiffly, could be seen |
| moving about inside the object "slowly and in a robot like fashion" |
| for the next five minutes. When a crowd of people armed with |
| flashlights approached, the object took off when someone shone a |
| flashlight on the object's interior. It left behind a 12 foot wide |
| burn mark, landing gear imprints, and a "greasy granular material" on |
| the ground. (Sources: Mark da Silva, FSR, June 1977, p. 13; David F. |

| meters, and it was in view for 10 minutes. At 11:53 |
| p.m. a reddish-yellow light flew over Belem, Para, Brazil from north |
| to south at 900 feet altitude. It traveled at a medium speed 1000 |
| meters away, with a trajectory curving to the left. It made no sound, |
| and the duration of the sighting was one minute. On the same day an |
| object was filmed with a Canon Super 8 movie camera in Rio |

| outfits and large helmets came out. There was a sudden whirlwind that |
| surrounded their vehicle and they could no longer see the figures or |
| the objects. When the "whirlwind" went away the figures and objects |
| were no longer there. They had "disappeared like magic". (Sources: |
