| UFO at 9:10 p.m. in Lockbourne, Ohio. It was amber colored, circular |
| object, somewhat smaller than the average airplane. It had a small |
| flame coming from the rear of the craft that periodically increased |

| hovered near the Metro station close to the ground, but did not |
| actually land. It left toward the northwest. A woodsman from Mareul |
| Caubert, Mr. Rolle, saw the object half an hour earlier. It came from |
| the direction of Amiens. (Source: Jacques Vallee, Passport to |
| Magonia, A Century of UFO Landings, p. 250). |
| |
| 1959 - At 6:30 p.m. a flashing light streaked to the north over the |

| 1962 - At 1:00 a.m. Doctor Gauza and his wife were traveling on their |
| way back to Crespo, Entre Rios, Argentina when they noticed a large |
| metallic, cone-shaped object on the ground very close to the road. A |
| very tall human looking figure stood next to an open door in the |
| craft. It was looking around at the terrain. There was also a second |
| figure looking out from a large porthole. The men were described as |
| having long blond hair, and wore white coveralls with visors. When |
| the two beings saw the witnesses, they used hand signals in an |
| apparent attempt to get them to come closer, but the couple panicked |
| and left at high speed. Eight other persons later came forward |
| stating that they had also seen the craft and its occupants. (Source: |

| |
| 1963 - At two o'clock in the afternoon, four boys in Fern Creek, |
| Kentucky saw a cigar-shaped object that became a disc, then vanished |
| behind some trees. A small being, 3.5 to 4 feet tall, wearing a |
| tight-fitting white suit, goggles and a helmet emerged from the |
| trees. The boys threw dirt clods at the entity, and the dwarf fired |
| back using what looked like a black tube, burning two of them. There |
| were landing imprints and footprints at the site. (Source: David F. |
| Webb, Skylook, August 1975, p. 9, citing Terry William as field |
| investigator). |
| |
| 1965 - A 70-foot diameter black disc flew by a satellite tracking |
| station in Bedford, England on this day. None of the witnesses |
| outdoors at the time could hear anything. A metallic disc hung |
| stationary high in the sky at an altitude above 100,000 feet. (Source: Donald |
| E. Keyhoe, Aliens from Space, p. 112). |
| |
| 1967 - At 1:20 a.m. Rev. Anthony De Polo, an Assembly of God |
| minister, was lying in bed in Boardman, Ohio when he heard a very |
| loud whining sound that rose and fell in pitch. Then he received a |
| distinct mental message telling him to go to the window. He did so, |
| and saw a five foot tall figure wearing a luminous tight-fitting |
| "spacesuit." There was also a source of light coming from above the |
| figure. At first he thought someone was playing a prank, but the |
| apparition was well-defined and looked real. He stepped out onto his |
| porch and mentally heard the words,"You have nothing to fear." |
| |
| He began to walk toward the being when the whining noise began again |
| and he heard, "Danger; I must go." Then the figure dissolved into a |
| blurred glow of light. Before it completely disappeared De Polo |
| received another message of a personal nature. On the same night and |
| not far from De Polo's home, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dixon heard a loud |
| noise outside, looked out, and saw an object hovering over their |
| house. It moved off toward the south after about five minutes. De |
| Polo has had a number of subsequent UFo sightings and "contacts." |

| drowsy from the smell. (Source: Oscar A. Uriondo, FSR Case Histories, |

| at Flippin Airport in Arkansas. That afternoon in Sobral, Ceara |
| State, Brazil Mr. Neusa Rodgriques saw a shiny flying disc stop and |
| remain stationary for 30 seconds near a cement plant. An occupant |
| could be seen inside the object through a window. It looked like "a |
| little bluish colored man with eyes that gave off flashes." The UFO |
| performed various maneuvers over the cement plant and drew the |
| attention of many of its employees, who stopped work briefly to watch |
| it. Lt. Pedro Edvaldo De Souza took statements from the eyewitnesses, |
| on instructions from the Brazilian Air Force base at Fortaleza, |
| Brazil. (Sources: Walter Buhler, FSR Case Histories, November 1971, |

| stationary for half a minute near the cement plant in the town of |
| Sobral, Ceara State, Brazil, opposite the house of Neusa Rodrigues. |

| with eyes that gave off flashes.” The UFO performed various maneuvers |
| over the cement plant, and drew the attention of many employees, who |
| stopped work briefly to watch it. Lt. Pedro Edvaldo De Souza took |

| 1973 - Three color photographs of a UFO were taken by a nuclear |
| engineer and amateur astronomer at 8:45 p.m. in Jeannette, |

| up, and then shot straight up. (Source: Lumieres dans la Nuit, |

| 1980 - Seven delta-shaped objects cavorted and landed at 10:15 p.m. |
| in Pine Bush, New York. Ellen Crystal approached them in her car, and |

| 1990 - A woman in New Hartford, Connecticut was lying awake in bed at |
| 2:00 a.m. when she noticed bright flashing lights over her backyard. |
| She went to the window and witnessed a small domed disc hovering 100 |
| feet away and descending over the corner of the lawn. The object |
| maneuvered a few seconds without actually touching down. She noted |
| that it had flashing red, yellow, and white lights around its bottom |
| rim. It then accelerated and was out of sight behind some trees in a |
| second. Two days later a hired worker asked her about some strange |
| material on the grass. She realized it was in the area of the |
| sighting. After eliminating the lawn car company as responsible for |
| an oily residue on the grass, she decided to report the incident. |
| (Source: Randy Miles, MUFON UFO Journal, December 1990, p. 19). |

| paced their car, and finally turned ruby red in color. (Source: |
| Christopher O'Brien, The Mysterious Valley, p. 24). |
| |
| 1998 - A triangular object maneuvered near an airport west of |
| Longmont, Colorado at 8:07 a.m. It was about 60 feet in width and |
| wobbled at only 15 meters altitude. In flew off toward the west. On |
| the same evening a light was observed moving up and down behind some |
| trees in Sudbury, Ontario for a long time. Eventually the one |
| remaining witness, a boy, observed it turn blue and streak away. |
| (Source: Joseph Trainor, UFO Roundup website, issue 3.32). |
| |
| 1999 - The main witness was a UFO investigator, staying with a known |
| abductee and her child in San Antonio, Texas, in order to offer them |
| some protection and company. He had fallen asleep, when he woke up |
| suddenly when he detected some kind of movement behind him. Thinking |
| it was the woman he did not turn around. Then he felt a “body” next |
| to him, and he next felt a pleasant touch on his upper back, and |
| the sensation as an “arm” passed over his ribcage. Concerned, he |
| tried to move but was unable to. When he was finally able to turn his |
| head, he saw a round basketball shaped object under the covers. He |
| jolted to his feet and heard a slight giggling sound at the same time |
| that the object under the covers appeared to deflate. He went and |
| tried to wake up his friend but was unable to. Two nights later he |
| saw a small white, grayish figure standing just inches away from him |
| that suddenly disappeared. Other strange occurrences were later |
| reported. (Source: Albert S. Rosales, Humanoid Contact Database 1999, |
| case # 3332, citing NUFORC). |

| criss-crossed into the distance.(Source: Peter Davenport, National |

| Missouri and at the same hour, a black triangular object hung |
| motionless in the sky in St. Charles, Missouri over the southside of |
| Missouri Highway 370, just off of Discovery Bridge. It had three |
| white and one red non-blinking lights. (Source: Peter Davenport, |
