|  May 22 |
| |
| 1951 - A bluish-white object circled around and paced an American |
| Airlines flight 100 miles southwest of Dodge City, Kansas at 3:20 |
| a.m. (Source: Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p 13). |
| |
| 1961 - Over 20 high qualified witnesses including several doctors |
| watched a 30 meter long metallic ovoid object maneuver at low |
| altitude in Ocumare del Tuy, Venezuela and then land at 10:30 a.m. A |
| total of three objects were seen, manuevering silently in and out of |
| the nearby hills and dodging trees and a low speed. Flattened grass |
| was found at the landing site. (Sources: APRO Bulletin, September |
| 1961; Coral E. Lorenzen, Flying Saucers: The Startling Evidence of |
| the Invasion from Outer Space, p. 185; Larry Hatch, U computer |
| database, case #5930). |
| |
| 1961 - That same afternoon in Texas a stationary silver disc hung in |
| the air over Tyndall Air Force Base. It was seen by two married |
| women, Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Davis, at 4:30 p.m. The object appeared to |
| be revolving as it hovered. After 15 minutes it finally rose higher |
| and higher into the air and disappeared. A Project Blue Book |
| "unknown." (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official |
| statistics, case # 7417; Lloyd Mallan, Science & Mechanics, December |
| 1966, p. 36; Lloyd Mallan, The Official Guide to UFOs, p. 22; Richard |
| H. Hall, The UFO Evidence (Volume I), p. 95). |

| |
| 1962 - Several luminous discs were seen four times in 35 minutes |
| during an Argentine Navy aircraft flight from Espora Naval Air Base |
| in Buenos Aires province, Argentina. The plane's radio failed |
| completely during the close encounters. (Sources: Robert Enrique |
| Banchs, Las Evidencias del Fenomeno OVNI, citing Antonio Ribera; |
| Dominique Weinstein, Aircraft UFO Encounters, p. 33). |
| |
| 1963 - Four pink wheels spun in the sky while flying from the east to |
| the west very fast in succession. They were witnessed by a civilian |
| named Jackson in Pequannock, New Jersey at 10:50 p.m. (Sources: |
| Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case # 8363; |
| Don Berliner, Project Blue Book Unknowns, p. 31). |
| |
| 1964 - (1) High School cafeteria employees watched the landing and |
| take-off of a round UFO from the school grounds in Hopkinsville, |
| Kentucky at nine o'clock in the morning. The object emitted four |
| beams of light. The grass had been flattened at the landing site. (2) |
| On that same day a UFO was tracked by radar at the White Sands |
| Stallion Missile Range in New Mexico. (Source: (1) George D. Fawcett, |
| Flying Saucers, June 1965, p. 27 and October 1966, p. 30, citing |
| NICAP; Coral E. Lorenzen, Fate magazine, October 1964, p. 45; Coral |
| E. Lorenzen, Flying Saucer Occupants, p. 150). |
| |
| 1965 - A silent gray object that looked like a blimp or dirigible |
| hovered low over the New England Power Plant in Salem, Massachusetts |
| at 5:00 p.m. (Sources: Raymond E. Fowler, case file investigation, |
| report dated July 13, 1965; Raymond E. Fowler, UFOs: Interplanetary |
| Visitors, p. 332). |

| |
| 1967 - On this evening Mr. Tyrode, a 45-year-old school teacher, saw |
| a glow and then an object shaped like an inverted plate emitting a |
| greenish-blue light in Evillers, France. It flew less than 20 meters |
| above his car at at estimated speed of 40 km/hour. (Source: Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 845). |
| |
| 1968 - Sr. T. Banescu of La Florida, Argentina was walking home early |
| in the morning around 3:00 a.m. when he observed a luminous sphere |
| coming down rapidly from the sky. It landed about 300 meters away. |
| Shortly after that he heard footsteps behind him but noticed nothing |
| strange about then. When he got to the house he encountered a |
| creature no more than 39" tall, with big ears and luminous green in |
| color. He had his arms crossed and was rocking his body slightly back |
| and forth. Mr. Banescu became frightened and attempted desperately to |
| unlock the door of his house to get away, and when he looked back |
| again the little man had disappeared. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1968-27, citing |
| Carlos Banchs). |
| |
| 1973 - Sr. Onilson Patero, a 40-year-old salesman, was driving home |
| to Catanduva in Sao Paolo, Brazil during a rainstorm. He had given a |
| lift to a young hitchhiker and had dropped him off at Itajobi. At |
| around 3:00 a.m., about seven miles from Catanduva on Highway 321, |
| his car began to lose power and his car's radio filled with static |
| interference. He noticed a circle of light moving about inside his |
| car and he pulled over to the side of the road, thinking a truck was |
| about to pass. He then saw a hovering object about 50 feet ahead and |
| 40 feet above the road, and at the same time the interior of his car |
| began to heat up. Patero felt a lack of air so he opened the door and |
| stepped out. A "curtain of light" began to form around the object, |
| and the heat and lack of air diminished. He could now see that the |
| object was not a helicopter. He next saw a "tube of light" hit the |
| car and, as it did, the car became transparent. He fainted. About an |
| hour later two young men found Sr. Patero laying in the mud and rain. |
| He recovered consciousness, crying out "they were trying to get me!" |
| He was taken to a hospital in Catanduva and later released. Over the |
| next several days he suffered physical ailments of an unknown cause. |
| Eleven months later Patero became the principal experiencer in an |
| abduction event in which he vanished for five days, turning up again |
| in Colatina 700 km away. Under regressive hypnosis he described one |
| of his abductors as the same individual he had given a ride to in |
| this case. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case 1973-12, citing Dr. Walter Buhler, Dr. Max |
| Berezovsky, APRO). |
| 1973 - At eight a.m. Manuel Angle Gonzalez was driving a six-ton |
| truck loaded with asbestos sheeting, cement, and steel, and he was in |
| the vicinity of the town of Cintalapa in the State of Veracruz, |
| Mexico when he noticed five little figures standing in the road ahead |
| of him. They had their arms raised in the air, and they seemed to |
| have appeared from nowhere. He slammed on the truck's brakes and came |
| to a stop only a short distance away from them. At first he thought |
| they might be children, but close up he could see that they were |
| perfectly proportioned adults but only two feet tall. They had light |
| brown skin and black hair, but he couldn't recall any details about |
| what clothing they were wearing. As he got out of his truck the |
| little figures began to scatter to the sides of the road, |
| disappearing into the underbrush along the highway. When he turned to |
| go back to his truck he saw it suddenly engulfed in blue flame, and |
| in a matter of 30 minutes the truck and its normally non-flammable |
| contents were reduced to ashes and fused metal. Two other motorists |
| stopped to witness the conflagration. According to the witness, two |
| days after the fire metal fragments that had been collected from the |
| site spontaneously burst into blue flames and were likewise reduced |
| to ashes. The witness compared the appearance of the little beings to |
| stories of little people from Mexican folklore, called the Chaneques. |
| Investigators later learned that two more trucks were similarly |
| destroyed and that in one case, UFOs were seen. (Source: David F. |
| Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1973-13, citing Ramon A Pantoja and Robert Freeman Bound, Fate). |
| |
| 1996 - Ipswich, Queensland, Australia - At 2:00 a.m. a woman was |
| walking her dog when she noticed two short glowing beings with no |
| apparent clothing, and dark eyes. The beings seemed to reassure her |
| mentally, then faded from view. Possible missing time involved. |
