|  July 1 |
| |
| 1947 - Radar operators at Chitose Army Air Base on Hokkaido, Japan |
| picked up an unidentified target 16 miles north of the base on course |
| of 180 degrees and a speed in excess of 500 mph. The target reversed |
| course, broke up into two responses, then merged back together again |
| into one large response. (Source: Jan Aldrich, Project 1947 Research |
| Notes from Bordentown, New Jersey talk, April 16, 2005, p. 27). |
| |
| 1947 - At 11:45 a.m. three discs were spotted over Portland, Oregon, |
| then another 10-12 discs showed up, silently tipping from side to |
| side as they followed the river to the west-northwest. (Sources: |
| Oregon Journal, July 2, 1947; Ted Bloecher, Report on the UFO Wave of |
| 1947, case # 135; Loren E. Gross, UFOs: A History. 1947, p. 22). |

| 1947 - At noon Mrs. Hunt saw saw six discs maneuvering in the sky |
| over Madras, Oregon. (Sources: The Oregonian, July 3, 1947; Ted |
| Bloecher, Report on the UFO Wave of 1947, case # 136). |
| |
| 1947 - At 12:45 p.m. over Fort Stevens Annex, Oregon an extremely |
| bright disc-shaped object maneuvered for 15 minutes. It then flew |
| north toward the Columbia River. (Sources: Ashland Budget, July 1, |
| 1947; Oregon Journal, July 2, 1947; Jan Aldrich, Project 1947: A |
| Preliminary Report on the 1947 UFO Sighting Wave, p. 70). |
| |
| 1947 - At 3:00 p.m. a woman in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada saw a small |
| silver colored, disc-shaped object three feet in diameter. It flew |
| off toward the southeast with a wavering motion. (Sources: Edmonton |
| Journal, July 2, 1947; Jan Aldrich, Project 1947: A Preliminary |
| Report on the 1947 UFO Sighting Wave, p. 70). |
| |
| 1947 - In mid-afternoon in Pendleton, Oregon six to nine shiny |
| platter-shaped objects whizzed overhead heading quickly toward the |
| south. (Sources: Oregon Journal, July 3, 1947; Ted Bloecher, Report |
| on the UFO Wave of 1947, case # 139). |
| |
| 1947 - Dr. G. Oliver Doctor saw a 'flying disc' zip over the city of |
| El Paso, Texas on this day. It was shaped like two pie pans |
| rim-to-rim, and was estimated to be 30 feet in diameter. It hurtled |
| over Mount Franklin and then flew off towards Mexico. (Source: Jan |
| Aldrich, Project 1947 Research Notes from Bordentown, New Jersey |
| talk, April 16, 2005, p. 4, citing the Norman (OK) Transcript, July |
| 2, 1947). |
| |
| 1947 - At 9:58 p.m a red disc-shaped object flew north to south at |
| an extremely fast speed over Charleston, South Carolina. It had been |
| seen earlier at Wilmington, North Carolina at 9:30 p.m. (Sources: |
| Charleston (SC) News Courier, July 6, 1947; Ted Bloecher, Report on |
| the UFO Wave of 1947, case # 147). |
| |
| 1947 - Late in the evening at around 11:00 p.m. thirteen silver |
| disc-shaped objects flew over Albuquerque, New Mexico. They flew |
| first toward the south, then turned to the east, and finally flew off |
| to the west. A blue disc was also seen zig-zagging in the |
| northwestern sky. (Sources: Albuquerque Journal, July 2, 1947; Ted |
| Bloecher, Report on the UFO Wave of 1947, case # 152; Richard Hall, |
| The UFO Evidence, p. 157). |
| |
| 1952 - Lynn, Massachusetts - At about 7:25 in the morning two F-94's |
| were scrambled to intercept a UFO that a Ground Observer Corps |
| spotter reported was travelling southwest across Boston. Radar |
| couldn't pick it up so the jets were vectored into the general area. |
| At 7:30 a.m. a man and his wife in Lynn noticed the two vapor trails |
| from the F-94 interceptors and looked around the sky to see if they |
| could spot what the jets were after. They saw a bright silver |
| cigar-shaped object "about six times as long as it was wide" moving |
| southwest. As they watched they saw an identical UFO was following |
| the first one some distance back. Both were moving just a little |
| faster than the two jets. The UFOs appeared to be at a very high |
| altitude, and the couple watched as the two F-94's searched back and |
| forth far below the UFOs. The Air Force lists the explanation of the |
| objects as probable balloons. (Source: Edward J. Ruppelt, The Report |
| on Unidentified Flying Objects. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1956, pg. |
| 150). |
| |
| 1953 - On this day or the next, at around 11:00 a.m. in Villares del |
| Saz, Cuenca, Spain an illiterate cowherd, 14-year-old Maximo |
| Munos-Olivares Hernaiz, heard an intermittent whistling soung behind |
| him. When he turned around he saw a "big balloon" on the ground. It |
| was shaped like a water jug and was metallic in appearance. Through |
| an opening came three dwarfs 60 cm tall, with yellow faces, narrow |
| eyes, and oriental features. They spoke in a language he could not |
| understand. They were dressed in blue, had a sort of flat hat with a |
| visor in front, and a metal sheet on their arms. One of them smacked |
| the boy's face, then they re-entered the machine, which glowed very |
| brightly, made a soft whistling sound and went off "like a rocket." |
| There were footprints left behind at the site and four holes 5 cm |
| deep forming a perfect square, 36 cm on each side, that were found by |
| the police. (Sources: Antonio Ribera, in Charles Bowen (editor), The |
| Humanoids, p. 29; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of |
| Landings, case # 113; David F. Webb & Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue |
| of Humanoid Reports, case # 1953-07 (A0215); UNICAT, case # 438, |
| citing The Humanoids: FSR Special Edition No. 1, p. 77).  |
| |
| 1965 - A domed disc-shapec object flew over Beijing, China at 10:00 |
| p.m. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, issue # 218). |
| |
| 1965 - One of the most famous landing and humanoid reports occurred |
| on this day in Valensole, Alpes-Haut-Provence department, France. At |
| around five o'clock in the morning farmer Maurice Masse, age |
| 41, heard a strange noise and saw an egg-shaped object 30 meters away |
| in a field of lavender. The craft was set on a central pivot with six |
| legs, was about five meters long, and had a door showing two seats |
| back to back. Nearby it were two dwarfs the size of eight-year-old |
| children, with bald heads, normal human eyes, and fine hands with |
| five fingers. They seemed surprised when the witness approached them, |
| and stopped their examination of a plant to aim a small device at |
| him, causing him to become temporarily paralyzed and unable to move. |
| They spoke among themselves in shrill sounds similar to a gargle. The |
| craft took off and "vanished" into the air. Ground traces were found |
| in the field. (Sources:Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century |
| of Landings, case # 113; Flying Saucer Review, May-June 1965, p. 36; |
| Richard H. Hall, The UFO Evidence, Volume II: A Thirty Year Report, |
| p. 377; UNICAT, case 481). |
| |
| 1965 - On this night many witnesses in Framingham, Massachusetts saw |
| a silvery white round object, which made side-to-side pendulum |
| swings, then flew away to the north. (Source: APRO Bulletin, |
| January-February 1966). |
| |
| 1968 - Returning home at four o'clock in the morning after a dance, |
| 17-year-old Raul Salcedo encountered two very tall strange beings in |
| Ricardone, Entre Rios, Argentina. They were nearly 10 feet tall. He |
| "felt himself drawn towards them by the powerful magnetism radiated |
| by them," which temporarily immobilized him, but he was able to break |
| free and fled home in terror. There was simultaneously a spate of UFO |
| sightings locally and in nearby San Lorenzo. (Sources: Jacques |
| Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, case # 913; David |
| F. Webb and Ted Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case |
| 1968-39, citing FSR, September-October 1968, p. 26). |
| |
| 1968 - At 12:30 p.m. three boys in Botucatu, Sao Paulo State, Brazil |
| saw a disc-shaped object on the ground about eight meters wide and |
| 350 meters away. It had a large tripod undercarriage and a ladder |
| reaching down to the ground. These landing devices were retracted |
| inside the object, and the object rose a few meters into the air, |
| then flew off at high speed. Physical traces included the ground |
| marks left behind by the tripod landing gear: imprints 7m x 6.8m x |
| 5.45m apart, and marks left by the ladder. There was also a residual |
| "gunpowder" smell, and the boys thought they heard a "tingling" sound |
| during the encounter. (Sources: Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: |
| A Century of Landings, case # 914, citing Nigel Rimes,  FSR,  |
| November-December 1968, p. 21; Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, |
| December 1970, p. 11; Fred I. Merritt, Leg-Mark Catalog (N = 68), |
| case 30). |
| |
| 1968 - A man, who lived in a third floor apartment along with his |
| wife and young son, was watching television around midnight with his |
| wife. It was a hot and humid summer night in Norwich, Connecticut. |
| Suddenly the TV reception began to snow, and then they heard crying |
| coming from the child's room. The man then caught a glimpse of |
| someone in the room and ran to see who it was. When he got to the |
| bedroom window he saw the figure fly away to a point about 200 feet |
| up and several hundred feet south of the apartment building. It was |
| headed towards a UFO that was ruby red in color. In seconds the |
| figure was like a silver dot that had merged with the object along |
| with 3 or 4 other dots. The object then rose to about 1000 feet and |
| went southwest at high speed. The creature was described as about |
| four-foot tall with large eyes and fang-like teeth. Its arms were |
| disproportionately long, like an ape's arms. It wore a silvery |
| colored suit and its feet did not appear to touch the ground. It |
| seemed to float across the room and went out the open window. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1968, case |
| #3198, citing the National UFO Reporting Center, Seattle). |
| |
| 1969 - At 6:15 a.m. Mr. Fred Yoos, age 62, heard a clattering sound |
| that shook the building in Olds, Alberta, Canada. Looking out a |
| window, he saw a 20 foot green oval-shaped object descend from a |
| dense cloud in the northwest. It hovered just above the ground 50 |
| feet away. By the light of the rising sun he could see the movement |
| of two figures through a window-like opening. The object ascended |
| vertically, leaving an imprint. (Source: David F. Webb and Ted |
| Bloecher, HUMCAT: Catalogue of Humanoid Reports, case 1969-47, citing |
| Ted Phillips, CUFOS). |
| |
| 1973 - Jarmo Nykanen was staying at his lakeside summer cottage in |
| Sounenjoki, Finland when he awoke to a buzzing sound in the early |
| morning hours. The cottage was being bathed in a strong blue light. |
| Going outside, Jarmo saw a blue light "twice as big as a row boat" |
| approach from over the lake. It stopped and hovered offshore. The |
| light seemed to radiate from a kind of "jelly," glowing in an unusual |
| manner. Jarmo thought he could see a strange being inside the light. |
| The next thing he remembered he was lying on the porch of his cottage |
| porch at about 6:00 a.m. He had lost track of four hours of time. |
| (Sources: APRO Bulletin, November 1979, Paul Deveraux, Earth Lights). |
| |
| 1975 - Hamden, Connecticut - At 9:20 p.m. two witnesses were sitting |
| on their porch when they noticed a bright red oval shoot across the |
| nearby tree tops. The object was moving at a height of 100 feet above |
| the nearby trees, and covered the distance on three city blocks in |
| approximately 15 seconds. During the sighting static interfered with |
| television reception, and the family dog was upset for a few minutes |
| immediately following the sighting. (Sources: "From the Center for |
| UFO Studies", FSR, April 1976, p. 24). |
| |
| 2001 - On this evening a couple riding bikes in a wooded area of |
| Palmerston, Ontario, Canada observed a group of tall humanoid beings |
| covered with brown hair. They seemed to be holding or carrying |
| unusual devices. The hairy beings fled into the woods when they |
| noticed the witnesses. Around the same time there were numerous |
| reports of low flying glowing orange disc-shaped UFOs over the area. |
| (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 2001, |
| citing Unknown Country & CAUS). |
| |
| 2001 - Odete Fortini was standing on the verandah of her house in |
| Paracambi, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil on this night when she |
| observed a ball of light approach and land about 200 meters away. |
| When the light dimmed she could see that it was a disc-shaped object |
| with a cupola on top and several small windows around its |
| circumference. In the center of the object a door opened, and two |
| one-meter tall humanoids stepped out. They appeared to be interested |
| in the vegetation around the object. After a few minutes of |
| investigation, they re-entered the object, which became bright again |
| and took off at high speed. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid |
| Contact Database 2001, citing Thiago Luiz Ticchetti, EBE-ET). |
| 2001 - On the same night eight-year-old Zeca Borba of Guaraja-Mirim, |
| Para State, Brazil reported encountering and communicating with a |
| short bluish-skinned humanoid with a large head and big eyes. The |
| humanoid carried something that looked like a cane, and wore a |
| silvery helmet. After 30 minutes the humanoid boarded a triangular |
| shaped object, which quickly disappeared. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, |
| Humanoid Contact Database 2001, citing Thiago Luiz Ticchetti, |
| EBE-ET). |
