| |
|  October 26 |
| |
| 1951 - Australia. At around four o'clock in the morning the driver |
| of a transcontinental train on the east-west line saw a flying object |
| that illuminated the countryside like the full moon. It flew very |
| fast, came close to the train, and appeared ready to land in the |
| desert, then it took off and disappeared. (Source: Jacques Vallee, |
| Passport to Magoinia: A Century of Landings, case # 84, citing Harold |
| Wilkins, Flying Saucers on the Attack, p. 249) |
| |
| 1954 - At six o'clock in the morning Vincent Casamajou and his wife |
| saw a large cauldron-shaped craft, the size of a truck (about seven |
| meters long) at 50 meters distance. It was near the road to Paris, 18 |
| kilometers from the town of Angouleme, Charente, France. It took off |
| without a sound, leaving a white trail. (Sources: Le Parisien, |
| October 28, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, p. 238, case 310). |
| |

| some woods in Ranes, Orne, France. It began to rise off the ground |
| slowly, then shot away when the witness approached. (Source: Jean |
| Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, p. 121). |
| |
| 1954 - At 6:00 p.m. several railroad workers in Chateaudun, |
| Eure-et-Loir, France ran toward a luminous ball of light over the |
| railroad tracks. It floated out over a field and then vanished. |
| (Source: Jean Sider, Dossier 1954 et l'Imposture Rationaliste, p. |
| 122). |
| |
| 1954 - On this evening in La Madiere, Creuse, France Aime Boussard, a |
| 47-year-old farmer, was suddenly confronted by an unusual individual |
| of normal height (1.60 m) wearing a sort of diving suit with a pale |
| green light emitted from either side of the helmet. The being aimed |
| two beams of blue light at the witness, who was thrown backward when |
| struck by the rays. No craft was observed. (Sources: Le Parisien, |
| October 28, 1954; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, p. 238, case 311; Michel Carrouges, Les Apparitions de |

| |
| 1954 - Late in the day at Les Metairies, situated near Saint Quirin, |
| Meurthe-et-Moselle, France, Mrs. Louis and her sons Marc and Yvon |
| observed a six-meter diameter orange craft that flew over them as |
| their tractor engine died. The headlights on the tractor also went |
| out, and the battery was found to be dead after the sighting. |
| (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, |
| p. 239, case 312; Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports Involving Vehicle |
| Interference, p. 4). |
| |
| 1954 - At 9:30 p.m. Mrs. Spinner and another witness in Heiteren, |
| Haut-Rhin department, France saw a flying object come from the west |
| and land a kilometer away. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 239, case 313). |
| |
| 1954 - On this night Mrs. Irene Sarris and Mr. Socrates Caraliamis |
| saw a flying object emitting a blinding light in the sky over |
| Antimachia, Kos Island, Greece. The UFO had the shape of a basket, |
| and for a while it headed toward Antimachia, but changed course |
| suddenly and went away. That same night Mr. George Cacamoundis saw a |
| "winged man" crossing the sky over the village, at approximately the |
| same time as the luminous UFO. The witness, terrified, ran to hide in |
| the nearby church, where he stayed for a long time refusing to come |
| out. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1954, |
| citing Thanassis Vembos, Hellenicos Vorras). |
| |
| 1958 - Two men, Small and Cohen, had a close encounter with a |
| 100-foot-long ovoid object with an irridescent moon glow as they |
| drove near Loch Raven Dam in Baltimore County, Maryland. The object |
| flew at 150 feet altitude, and when it approached their car at the |
| bridge over the reservoir the car engine, dashboard lights, and |
| headlights all died at a distance of 200 to 300 feet. The witnesses |
| felt heat coming from the object and later discovered that they had |
| sunburns  on their exposed skin. (Sources: Project Blue Book files |

| Humanoids: FSR Special Edition No. 1, p. 124). |
| |
| 1966 - Cold Bay Air Force Station, Alaska. No time given. Sometime |
| after dark a civilian control tower operator spotted a white object |
| approach the runway at 50 feet altitude. The runway lights were then |
| turned on, and object accelerated and climbed away so fast that the |
| witness was unable to use his binoculars. Sighting lasted 3 seconds. |
| (Source: Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns). |
| |
| 1967 - A businessman driving in the pre-dawn hours north between Hook |
| and Reading, England was momentarily puzzled when the electrical |
| system of his car broke down at 4:30 a.m. He then observed a low |
| hovering, dull-colored object about 100 meters away from him. It was |
| 20 meters in diameter and at an altitude of about 15 meters. He was |
| able to restart the car, but made the rest of his journey in a |
| trancelike state. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A |
| Century of Landings, case # 891, citing Flying Saucer Review, |
| November-December 1967). |
| |
| 1967 - Four witnesses in Newton, Massachusetts saw a dark object at |
| 9:30 p.m. that had two rows of horizontal red lights, a green light |
| and a white light (see sketch below). The object circled in the |
| sky, hovered for awhile, and then reversed direction, making a |
| humming sound. Dogs barked and whined during the sighting. (Source: |
| Raymond E. Fowler case files, report dated November 21, 1967). |

| night. It occurred ten miles west of Woodland, California in Yolo |
| County.  There were two people involved in the abduction. (Source: |
| Robert Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, case # 17). |
| |
| 1973 - At 8:03 p.m. in Toulon, Var department, France a bright ovoid |
| object divided into three parts. Two of the parts flew off, while the |
| third split in half, and then vanished. (Source: Larry Hatch, U |
| computer database, case # 10321, citing Charles Garreau, Soucopes |
| Volantes Vingt-cinq Ans d'Enquetes (Third Edition), p. 89). |
| |
| 1973 - The Kingwood, West Virginia police chief and two fire tower |
| observers watched a light cavort over Caddell Mountain on this night |
| for hours. Willard Zinn, a police officer from Terra Alta, West |
| Virginia was driving home via a mountain road at two o'clock at night |
| when he encountered a four-foot tall, brown, or green creature with |
| long, fuzzy hair that darted across the road in front of his car. |
| Zinn skidded into a ditch. The two fire observers joined him and all |
| three saw a very bright, silent, reddish white light whiz overhead at |
| tree top level. (Sources: Ted Bloecher, MUFON Conference Proceedings: |
| 1975, p. 75; David F. Webb, 1973: The Year of the Humanoids, case |
| 73-38A; Preston County News, October 30, 1973). |
| |
| 1975 - Mrs. L. E. Dison, age 43, and her daughter were driving home |
| at one o'clock in the morning in Cahaba Heights, Alabama when they |
| saw on the dark side of the road two 8 foot tall beings wearing |
| wearing silvery boots and tight fitting clothing of a dull silver |
| color, and helmets. The front of helmets were luminous or light |
| reflecting. The one nearest them had an arm up,  pointing at the sky. |
| The second was looking up at the sky.(Source: Ed Planz, CUFOS files, |
| report dated September 1976). |
| |
| 1975 - In Happy Camp, Siskiyou County, California just after |
| midnight Steve Harris, San Gayer, and Carl Jackson returned to the |
| spot of their "creature" sighting earlier that evening, accompanied |
| by Helen White and Rick Pool. They shone spotlights around, but saw |
| nothing. Then Steve fired his rifle several times. Immediately they |
| heard a loud "wow-wow-wow" sound, and turned around to see in their |
| spotlights the dark, non-reflecting forms about 5 feet tall. They |
| were vaguely human shaped, with a glow around the edges, and about |
| 30-35 ft away. These forms were moving about slowly, but staying at |
| the same distance. They seemed to absorb the light from the |
| flashlights without reflecting it, but occasionally an entire shape |
| would start glowing slightly. No details could be made out. After |
| several seconds, during which Helen failed to use her Polaroid |
| camera, Helen and then the others began to feel a choking sensation, |
| "as if the oxygen was being depleted from the air." After another |
| three or four minutes of this, all five of them piled into their Ford |
| Bronco and drove away. Looking back, they saw a glowing |
| orange disc-shaped object rise up from near where they had been. It |
| was about 40 feet in diameter, and it followed them at a distance of |
| 150 feet and right above the treetops, until they reached the |
| highway. (Source: David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of |
| Humanoid Reports, case # 1975-54, citing Paul Cerny for MUFON). |

| Colares, Para State, Brazil a young woman, 25-year-old Nueza Pereira |
| Aragao, was in her kitchen with her sister reading a book. At 10:15 |
| p.m. a light beam came through the roof, badly frightening her. She |
| was immediately attended to by military doctors, who were part of a |
| team in the area investigating the UFO activity. (Source: Bob Pratt, |
| Operacao Prato, p. 22). |
| |
| 1977 - A 14-year-old girl was walking home in Via Lagaccio, Genova, |
| Italy at 9:00 p.m. when she spotted a strange humanoid figure |
| standing by a nearby tree. The figure began walking very slowly and |
| seemed to stagger like if intoxicated. The figure was short and very |
| pale and had only two digits on each hand. It was dressed in black |
| and wore some sort of helmet. The witness became frightened and ran |
| home. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1977, |
| case # 998, citing Massimo Varrichio, BUFORA Journal, Vol. 7 # 3). |
| |
| 1977 - Three hours later a bright red sphere hovered in front of a |
| USAF T-38 aircraft flying from Abilene to Dallas, Texas. It departed |
| in a rapid vertical climb and changed color to white after effecting |
| the navigation instruments and producing a large amount of static on |
| the radio. There were several other witnesses to the UFO. (Sources: |
| Mark Cashman, Project 1947 EM Effects Catalog website, citing MUFON |
| UFO Journal, March 1983; Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO |
| Encounters, p. 50; Richard Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A |
| Thirty Year Report, pp. 21 & 123). |
| |
| 1978 - In Remoulins, Gard department, France a four-meter wide ball |
| of light hovered low by some telephone lines at 11:45 p.m. The |
| witness in a car felt intense cold. The object shot straight up when |
| it left. |
| |
| 1979 - Roosters crowed, ducks quacked, geese honked, and bullfrogs |
| started croaking loudly in response to a silver, bullet-shaped craft |
| that hovered briefly over a farm near a river in Colusa, California |
| at 12:15 a.m. (Source: Joan Woodward, NICAP Category 4 - Animal |
| Effects Cases, www.nicap.org, p. 7). |
| |
| 1980 - A "huge" lopsided triangular object was seen by a farmer and |
| his wife in a close encounter on their farm in Green County, Indiana. |
| Moreover, their farm animals were affected while the UFO was over |
| their barn. The UFO passed only twenty feet over the barn and |
| disturbed their pigs. The object looked "like facets of a diamond." |
| It moved smoothly from a hovering position, and had two steady white |
| lights with a flashing light in the back. When it moved further away |
| it looked like a bright orange light in the southwestern sky. |
| (Sources: UNICAT, case # 41, citing Frontiers of Science, July 1981, |
| p. 14; Joan Woodward, NICAP Category 4 - Animal Effects Cases, |
| www.nicap.org, p. 7). |
| |
| 1981 - Two men in a car near the seashore in Dickinson, Galveston |
| County, Texas saw a silvery disc-shaped object paralleling their car |
| and then crossing the road ahead of them. Nocturnal lights were seen |
| in the area that evening. (Sources: Richard H. Hall, MUFON UFO |
| Journal, November 1982, p. 13; Larry Hatch, U computer database, case |
| # 14305). |
| |
| 1983 - At 3:00 a.m. in Columbus, Georgia three people in a car at |
| Camp McKensie, a Boy Scout camp, had a close encounter near some |
| railroad tracks with a gray spherical object that made no sound. The |
| object approached over the railroad tracks and disappeared. The |
| witnesses first thought it was a train coming. One of the witnesses |
| had a euphoric reaction to the experience. (Source: Jerrold R. |
| Johnson, MUFON UFO Journal, February 1994, p. 18, citing MUFON Field |
| Investigator Jim Maples, case # 931210E). |
| |
| 1983 - At 9:00 p.m. on US. Highway 321 northwest of Hickory, North |
| Carolina a silent, diamond-shaped object stopped a car for 5 minutes, |
| then rose into the sky and flew away. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, |
| April 1984). |
| |
| 1983 - At 10:00 p.m. in a rural area of Slaterville, New York a round |
| UFO with 2-3 horizontal rows of windows was sighted on a cloudy |
| night. It had a single revolving light on top, and was the size of a |
| very large room. The minimum distance to the object was only 200 |
| meters, and it was viewed through binoculars. The UFO hovered, and |
| then went behind the hills. (Source: MUFON UFO Journal, February |
| 1984, p. 8; UNICAT, case # 300). |
| |
| 1985 - In Petersburg, Virginia a large cigar-shaped object crossed |
| the sky at a high altitude at 6:30 p.m. The sighting had a two minute |
| duration. (Source: Robert Gribble, UFO Reporting Center, case # |
| 1020). |
| |
| 1988 - On this evening there were several reports of sightings of |
| boomerang and V-shaped objects in Porterville, California. Beginning |
| at 8:00 p.m. witnesses spotted 2 or 3 objects, V-shaped with red and |
| white lights, which flew in front of the moon. The witnesses |
| speculated that they could have been stealth bombers, but Northrup |
| denied any of their stealth aircraft were flying that night. |
| Futhermore, additional sightings included objects that were engaged |
| in zigzag maneuvers after 9:45 p.m. In Antelope Valley, California |
| two witnesses reported that a 600 foot wide boomerang flew over at 25 |
| mph; it was joined by a second object, while 15-20 smaller |
| disc-shaped objects trailed behind. (Sources: Imbrogno Philip J. |
| Imbrogno & Marianne Horrigan, Contact of the 5th Kind, p. 29; Paul |
| Ferrughelli, Computer Catalog of UFO Reports, 1988-94, case # 515, |
| citing UFO Newsclipping Service; MUFON UFO Journal, November 1990). |
| |
| 1990 - On this eveing, while returning from his work, a witness |
| driving his car in Chateaugiron, Ile-Vilaine department, France |
| observed a large triangular object like a plane, but changing |

| 071). |
| |
| 1996 - At 7:30 p.m. at Baca Rach and Highway 66T in the San Luis |
| Valley, Colorado the author Christopher O'Brien and his two friends |
| Dumas and Nickerson spotted a solid, unblinking orange light low in |
| the sky moving from the southeast to the northwest at a speed of |
| about 200 mph. The craft did a loop, moved to the east, then headed |
| back displaying FAA lighting. Several minutes later, two more craft |
| came from the east. (Source: Christopher O'Brien, Enter the Valley, |
| p. 299). |
| |
| 1999 - At 2:36 a.m. CDT two airline pilots in separate commercial |
| airliners, both former military pilots, flying near Dallas-Forth |
| Worth International Airport, Texas saw three gigantic lights approach |
| their aircraft at cruising altitude (37,000 feet). The lights were |
| part of a large triangular-shaped craft, described as "the size of a |
| fist at arms length." It executed a sudden turn to the east |
| and streaked off. An FAA report on the incident was filed. The planes |
| were about 100 miles apart at the time. (Source: UFO Magazine (USA), |
| January 2000, p. 12, citing Peter Davenport, NUFORC).  |
| |
| 1999 - At 2:14 a.m. PDT a woman in California (exact location not |
| disclosed) suddenly awoke feeling a presence in her room. Her body |
| began to get a familiar vibrating feeling, and then she became very |
| lethargic. In the dark she saw a figure in the room; she could see it |
| standing by the bedroom door. The witness became enraged and by using |
| her thoughts cursed at the entity several times. The being looked |
| scared, and it crouched in the corner with its head down. She then |
| tried to turn the light on, but it would not work, and she also tried |
| to use the phone by her bed, but it was also out of commission. By |
| this point she had calmed down somewhat, and asked the being why they |
| were not going anywhere (presuming she would be abducted). She |
| received the reply, “I just dont like women.” The being |
| now approached her bed, and she recognized her as being female, and |
| sat on the bed. The woman then took her hand, which felt very cold. |
| The being was about four feet tall, and was wearing a blackish, |
| hooded cape. The being next told the witness she was going to take |
| her to the ship now. Her next recollection was of waking up around an |
| hour later, again feeling a vibration in her body. The female |
| humanoid was gone. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting |
| Reports database, case # 3942, citing CAUS). |
| |
| 2005 - At around two p.m. a bright, aluminum colored, |
| cigar-shaped craft appeared in the northwest sky at an elevation of |
| about 35 degrees in Orlando, Florida. The witness estimated the |
| sighting lasted five minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO |
| Reporting Center, Seattle, October 2005 webpage, report uploaded |
| November 3, 2005). |
| |
| 2005 - At 9:30 p.m. a young man in Vaudreuil-Dordon, Quebec, |
| Canada was taking out the trash when he encountered a bizarre |
| looking, eight foot tall creature. He came back inside running |
| and out of breath, reporting to his family that he had seen the |
| creature in front of the neighbors driveway. No specific details |
| were provided about the appearance of the humanoid, but the witness's |
| brother saw two similar creatures back in the summer of 2004. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, 1999 Humanoid Sighting Reports database, |
| citing Peter Davenport, NUFORC). |
| |
| 2005 - A silvery, oval shaped object with circular shining lights was |
| sighted over Tracy, California at 10:05 p.m. The sighting lasted |
| nineteen minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting |
| Center, Seattle, October 2005 webpage, report uploaded November |
| 3, 2005). |
| |
| 2006 - At three o'clock in the morning many residents of the cities |
| of Colon, Argentina and Paysandu, Uruguay witnessed a huge triangular |
| craft fly over the two cities. It made no sound, but flew at a low |
| altitude. It flew from south to north at a very slow speed. Witnesses |
| were able to see multicolored lights beneath it that were blue, |
| white, and yellow. Again at 11:05 p.m. that night two loud sky |
| explosions rocked both cities. They broke windows. Some witnesses in |
| Colon said a powerful light could be seen toward the southeastern |
| area of the city. (Source: Julio Degeneve, www.ufoinfo.com, reported |
| dated October 29, 2006). |
| |
| 2008 - At 7:50 p.m. a very bright, diamond shaped light hovered 100 |
| feet in front of the witness near Spring Valley, Greene County, Ohio. |
| The close encounter lasted four minutes. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
| National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle, October 2008 webpage, report |
| uploaded October 31, 2008). |
| |
| 2008 - A lenticular disc-shaped object was spotted at 8:10 p.m. in |
| Almagro Pale, Buenos Aires, Argentina. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
