| |
| 1948 - Six people in Chamblee, Georgia briefly saw a luminous |
| football-shaped UFO that glowed, bobbed, weaved, and maneuvered over |
| the town at 9:30 p.m. It flew off rapidly toward the south at an |
| estimated 5,000 feet altitude. The Air Force explanation was that |
| they saw a meteor. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in |
| official statistics, case #00165; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. |
| 1948, p. 43). |
| |
| 1949 - At 10:30 a.m. in Redmond, Oregon a disc-shaped object |
| described as looking like a "flat aluminum sheet" soared overhead at |
| tremendous speed. It flashed brightly as it reflected the sunlight. |

| |
| 1949 - At 3:10 p.m. a doctor named Laubach sighted a seven meter |
| diameter disc in Mitchell, Nebraska that whirled across the sky at |
| 6,000 feet altitude, passing through some clouds. (Sources: newspaper |
| clipping dated July 27, 1949; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1949 |
| (Volume 2), p. 13; Kenneth Arnold & Ray Palmer, The Coming of the |
| Saucers, p. 143). |
| |
| 1952 - At Andrews AFB, Maryland from midnight until dawn, there were |
| more UFO reports that were a continuation of the extensive sightings |
| and radar tracking reports reported throughout the Washington, D.C. |
| area from the evening before. (Source: Project Blue Book files; Don |
| Berliner, Project Blue Book Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - At 12:15 a.m. USAF Capt. H. A. Stone and Air Traffic |
| Controllers in the control towers at Fairfax Field and Municipal |
| Airport, Kansas City, Missouri saw a green light with red-orange |
| flashes descend in the northwestern sky for 1 hour. It moved from 40 |
| elevation to 10 elevation. (Source: Project Blue Book files; Don |
| Berliner, Project Blue Book Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - At Kirtland AFB, New Mexico at 12:05 a.m. Airman 1st Class J. |
| M. Donaldson observed eight to ten orange balls flying very fast for |
| a 3-4 second duration traveling in a triangular or V formation. |
| (Source: Project Blue Book files; Don Berliner, Project Blue Book |
| Unknowns). |
| |
| 1952 - In Washington, D.C. on this date, from 8:00 p.m. until after |
| midnight, radar operators at several airports tracked many |
| unidentified blips by radar all over the Washington area, at varying |
| speeds. Airline pilots reported spotting unidentified lights during |
| this period as well. Sharp UFO targets on the ARTC radar at National |
| Airport at 9:08 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. Visual sightings were reported by |
| civilians four times, near Herndon, Virginia and from Maryland. A |
| National Airlines flight near Andrews AFB saw a UFO "directly over |
| the airliner."(Sources: Project Blue Book files; Don Berliner, |
| Project Blue Book Unknowns; Donald E. Keyhoe, Flying Saucers from |
| Outer Space, p. 69; Richard Hall, Radar-Visual UFO cases in 1952: The |
| UFO Sightings that Shook the Government, p. 11). |
| |
| 1962 - At 8:30 p.m. near Darana, Argentina a 17-year-old motorcyclist |
| saw a weird creature on the side of the road. His cycle would not |
| steer correctly; instead, it drove right up to the creature and |
| stopped. The creature was six feet tall, with a head like a melon and |
| three eyes. It grabbed the youth's scarf, turned around and walked |
| away like a robot, leaving deep tracks in the dirt. The youth saw a |
| white light low in the sky in the direction the creature was walking. |
| He then drove away quickly. (Source: Mark Rodeghier, UFO Reports |
| Involving Vehicle Interference, case 116, citing Saucer News, |
| December 1962). |
| |
| 1965 - At 9:35 p.m. three atmospheric astronomers studying |
| noctilucent clouds at the Ogra Observatory, Latvia sighted a bright |
| light in the west. Through a telescope they saw it was a 325 foot in |
| diameter disc-shape with three spheres orbiting it. The UFOs |
| gradually receded, but were seen at an estimated altitude of 60 |
| miles. (Sources:  Felix Zigel, Flying Saucers, June 1968, p. 25; APRO |
| Bulletin, November-December 1967,  p. 4; NICAP UFO Investigator, |
| March-April 1968, p. 6; FSR, May-June 1968, p. 28; John Wallace |
| Spencer, World Atlas of UFOs, p. 131; Paul Stonehill, The Soviet UFO |
| Files, p. 111). |
| |
| 1965 - A teenager, Adilon Azevedo, and others in Carazinho, Rio |
| Grande do Sul state, Brazil who fled the scene, saw two UFOs at |
| ground level. They were about three meters in diameter, 1.5 meters |
| high, and contained five occupants who wore luminous helmets and |
| spoke among themselves in an unfamiliar language. One of the beings |
| had a bright object in its hand. The witness experienced headaches |
| for five days following the close encounter. (Sources: Coral & Jim |
| Lorenzen, Flying Saucer Occupants, p. 112; Jacques Vallee, Passport |
| to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case 662). |
| |
| 1967 - At 8:00 p.m. a multi-colored elliptical object flew over |
| Seacliff, South Australia making a humming noise. Eighteen hours |
| later, at 11:15 p.m. in Rowley, Massachusetts, R. Ricker witnessed an |
| orange UFO that made a whining sound. (Source: Project Blue Book |
| files; Don Berliner, Project Blue Book Unknowns). |

| 1968 - On this afternoon around 3:00 p.m. two young boys riding their |
| bicycles near the airport in Riviere Du Loup, Quebec stopped by the |
| hangar and sighted a short three-foot tall, gray-skinned humanoid. |
| The humanoid ran away and was joined by a second similar being. Both |
| moved with stiff-legged motion. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 1968, case # 24, citing John Brent Musgrave, UFO |
| Occupants and Critters). |
| |
| 1972 - In a continuing series of strange encounters at Cradle Hill in |
| Wiltshire, England Robert Mason and Stephen Barnett had reached a |
| field beyond the copse at 9:15 p.m. while it was still light out. A |
| short while later they both looked back towards a barn and caught |
| sight of a figure, resembling that of a small man or boy, in the |
| clearing just in front of the barn. Upon being noticed the figure |
| dodged out of sight behind the side of the barn. Stephen looked |
| through binoculars to see if the being would pass the line of trees |
| leading back down the road to the gate, but saw nothing. They |
| searched the copse but found no one. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 1972, citing Ken Rogers, The Warminster |
| Triangle). |
| |
| 1993 - On this night a witness in Plymouth, Scotland reported seeing |
| a dark object hovering close to the ground. It had four bright lights |
| on its top and multicolored lights below. It illuminated the ground |
| with a red glow. Several figures were seen moving around, apparently |
| in front of the object. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact |
| Database 1993, case # 1552, citing Vivienne Olbison, UFO Magazine |
| (UK), Vol. 12, No. 3). |
| |
| 2001 - At 9:50 p.m. two witnesses saw a luminous figure walking on |
| the side of the road while driving on the road to Gerena, Sevilla, |
| Spain. It seemed to move clumsily about in an attempt to enter the |
| nearby field. The frightened witnesses accelerated away from the |
| area. They described the figure as about two meters to 2.15 meters in |
| height, strongly build, and robust looking. It emitted a bluish-white |
| light. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2001, |
| citing Jose Manuel Garcia Bautista & Rafael Cabello Herrero). |
| |
| 2004 - During a power failure in Kerman, California that occurred at |
| 1:20 a.m. Ms. E. B. was looking for a flashlight when the power came |
| back on. Earlier that night around 12:30 a.m. she had seen an unusual |
| light in the sky and now went out to look in the sky where she had |
| seen it. What she saw was a glowing silvery man-like figure that was |
| flying above the neighborhood at a height of 21 to 24 meters. The |
| figure flew at a reasonably fast pace. The moment she saw it she |
| screamed and ran back inside, locking the door behind her, but she |
| continued to watch it through a window. The figure went behind some |
| trees and when it emerged on the other side it shot off towards the |
| north at the speed of a rocket. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database, citing Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup, Volume 31, No. |
| 9). |
